Chapter 312: The Whole Nation Resists the Enemy (5)
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 320: Tiger Sniffing Silk
Chen was still in shock, staring blankly at the Ming prince in front of her. Her son was sent to the Hanwang Mansion. She had long missed this man and had heard a lot about him. When they met suddenly, Chen did not feel that he was a stranger.But the King of Han was not what she had imagined. The young man in front of her was wearing heavy armor and a red cloak. He had a very majestic figure and bronze skin. He was completely different from the royal family aristocrats who were pampered and overindulged in alcohol and sex.As Zhu Gaoxu slowly walked over, Chen smelled a peculiar smell of male sweat. After all, he had just been through a fierce battle.Chen's eyes swept across the bloodstains of the bodies that were killed in an instant, and then glanced at the colorful mount behind Zhu Gaoxu. In a trance, she seemed to hear the angry roar of a tiger in the jungle, and an invisible huge pressure made her chest suddenly suffocate, and for a short moment she c
