It was as if a river had burst its banks, and the muddy river water mixed with all kinds of debris rolled into the city; on the streets of Muwan Province, crazy crowds and war horses were running like a flood.
The fleeing Annan soldiers were also running, and from time to time someone was knocked over or tripped, or shot and injured, and would soon be drowned in the crowd by the crazy Ming soldiers, and die without a complete body. A young Annan man was holding a musket in his hand, looking up and gasping for breath, running desperately with the crowd.
After a while, he realized that the musket without ammunition was as useless as a stick. At this time, the generals and soldiers could no longer recognize each other and had no time to stop to reload and fight back. The young man thought the musket was unnecessary, so he threw it away and continued to run.
"Ah ah ah..." The person in front suddenly shouted, and everyone slowed down. The young man also hurriedl
The winding tributary (Duong River) flows into the river, and Thang Long is not far from the other side of the river.There were many bamboos growing on the river bank, and on the plains a little further away from the river bank, there were scattered forests, rice fields and villages. The scattered Ming soldiers were holding bows and crossbows, carefully searching in the woods. There must be Ming soldiers within five steps.Zhang Fu, the right deputy general of Pingyi, was at the edge of the woods. He used his scabbard to sweep away the weeds, walked to a tree, slapped the trunk with one hand, and looked up at the branches and leaves above.He needed to find suitable trees to build warships as soon as possible.Although Thang Long seemed to be within easy reach, the Annan army had already moved or burned the large ships on the river near Bac Giang Prefecture on the north bank of the river. The Annan army also deployed the main force of the navy on the
Wang Bin's vanguard troops built six floating bridges near the island in the middle of the river. More than 80 warships were deployed on the east side of the floating bridges to escort the Ming army's crossing of the river.The Ming army's temporary navy, relying only on dozens of captured Annan warships, was obviously not enough to resist the main force of the Annan navy. However, the Annan army did not mobilize the navy to counterattack in time.Scouts in Jiangbei reported that the enemy warships that had escaped from Muwan Prefecture were still retreating eastward; no Annan army fleet had been spotted yet.After receiving the military report, Zhang Fu's army of more than 100,000 responded very quickly. They had already moved camp and marched westward a few days ago and were approaching Muwan Prefecture.Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and thought that it was inevitable that the main force of the Ming army would cross the river from the floating bridge
In October, those who were in the capital of the Ming Dynasty would definitely feel the chill of winter. But on the plains of Annan, people don't feel cold even in the early morning, and can get by with just a single layer of clothing underneath their armor.The shadows of the tall black towers of Duobang City were vaguely visible in the haze. The mist in the air was so thick that it was hard to tell whether it was the moisture from the river last night or the heavy smoke from the gunpowder.On the city walls, artillery and muskets were flashing everywhere, and in the gray mist, rockets were flying all over the sky with black smoke. The deafening explosions had long drowned out the people's shouts, and the "buzzing..." sound between heaven and earth never stopped.The moat had long been blocked, and was divided into sections of stagnant water, filled with dead bodies, weapons, wheels, wheelbarrows, broken wood chips... the water was as turbid as the air at t
In the southwest corner of Duobang City, gray dust and fog were everywhere. In front of Liu Da, there was a line of rosin fire burning, and the smoke and black smoke from the burning rosin were lingering. He held a bow and arrow in his hand, staring blankly at the fire on the city wall in front of him.A huge fire started on a ladder, and the young men screamed and turned into balls of fire and kept falling down from above. The Annan soldiers on the top of the city were still throwing porcelain jars down, and the oil in the jars immediately added fuel to the fire.The ladder on the left front side was already broken! A general not far away pointed his sword at that side and shouted, "Fire!""Boom, boom, boom..." Liu Da was quickly shrouded in white smoke, and he coughed. At this time, Baihu Yin Desheng's voice shouted again to release arrows. The row of soldiers where Liu Da was sitting lowered their bows and arrows, and lit the oilcloth wrapped around the a
The walls of Dobang City have been rebuilt several times and are now a large city with walls three zhang high (more than eight meters).But now it seems not so high. Corpses are piled up beside the wall. In order to push the ladder to the front of the city wall, the Ming army directly covers the corpses with soil to build a road. Large slopes are formed outside the city wall, swallowing up the height of the wall.Nearly half of the centurion Yin Desheng's troops had been killed or wounded, and he himself was stuck on the slope, unable to move forward or backward. The enemy soldiers on both sides of the city wall kept shooting at them with muskets, and Yin Desheng felt more and more that his men were like living targets on the execution ground."Ah..." Another soldier on Yin Desheng's left was hit by a musket. The soldier dropped the weapon in his hand and screamed while holding his chest. A moment later, the cannon behind him roared like thunder, and a stone
In the thick smoke of Duobang South City, the sound of footsteps and horse hooves resounded through the heavens and the earth. On the ground, patches of red tassels swayed, and wide-brimmed iron helmets and a forest of swords and spears spread northward like a torrent.The Annan army on the other side seemed to have more people, with groups of war elephants armed to the teeth, and infantry following closely on both sides. The heavy footsteps of countless war elephants stepped on the brick ground together, and the earth seemed to be shaking."Boom boom boom..." Suddenly, large and small artillery pieces roared in front of the Ming army crowd, followed by the crackling of muskets, and a large cloud of white smoke rose with a sound like thunder."Woo..." The elephants began to cry out in fear. The war elephants, wearing leather armor and sharp weapons, were tall and terrifying, but when the firearms were fired, they ignored the trainers' shouts and turned aroun
In the Xishan camp, Zhu Gaoxu's entire army of elite cavalrymen were covered with colorful tiger skins because he had received a report that the enemy troops on the Black Water River had many elephant soldiers.Although the fake tiger disguised as a horse was ridiculous, people could tell it was fake at a glance, and perhaps the elephant knew it too; the bright tiger skin still frightened the elephant! So all the troops of the Ming army learned this trick.Zhu Gaoxu also prepared a large number of firearms in the infantry camp to deal with the elephant soldiers. In the grand field battle, Zhu Gaoxu did not take the Annan army seriously except for the elephant soldiers.He ordered the main camp to move twenty miles eastward, clearing the valley entrance, waiting for the Annan reinforcements to arrive and set up the battle formation before defeating the enemy head-on!After waiting for a few days, the Annan army still hadn't come out of the mountains and
The Ming army came from the west. The former Queen of Annan, Chen, climbed up the gate tower and stood there watching the situation outside.Chen was wearing an ordinary purple silk robe, which was quite similar to the Hanfu style in the Central Plains. The high waist made her figure look even taller and slenderer, and the soft silk material showed off her curvy figure beautifully.The sun was setting, but the afterglow was still dazzling, shining directly on Chen's face, making it difficult for her to fully open her large eyes in her deep eye sockets. Her forehead was flat and smooth, her face was dignified and beautiful, and her black hair and jade-white skin seemed to be covered with a layer of light in the orange light.Chen said nothing, but his eyes were attracted by the scene outside the wall. Under the big banner with "Han" written on it, the cavalry of the King of Han of the Ming Dynasty, wearing tiger skins, galloped on the flat plain like a group
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
