Chapter 738: Hindsight
On the green plain, there was a bustling crowd, flags were flying, people were shouting and cursing like in a busy market, and arrows were whistling in the air everywhere.
In some places, the Annan rebels even organized volleys of bows and arrows, forming dense long-range arrow strikes. However, the Ming army usually had elite soldiers with more armor in the front, and the front row was mainly composed of spear and shield heavy infantry; to prevent the front line of the square from retreating too quickly, thus affecting the stability of the entire army. Therefore, if the rebels wanted to make progress only with bows and arrows, it would only be a waste of physical strength.
Amid the noise, the rebel infantrymen holding spears and magic guns came to the front one after another and began to approach the Ming army. (The magic gun is a matchlock gun with a cast barrel, sealed by a wooden horse, and firing arrows.)
The rebels in the south let out fierce shouts, b

Several large camps of the Dai Viet army were lined up in the east-west direction, not far from each other.The military camp built fences with wood and bamboo to enclose the tents, straw huts, and various supplies built by the Vietnamese army. A thick layer of mud was also pasted on the outside of the fence to prevent it from being burned by fire. There were shooting holes between the bamboo and wood on it. Bamboo towers were built outside each entrance of the fence for observation and archery.There are many ponds and paddy fields around, as well as a large lake. People standing on the bamboo tower can see a large lake in the east with their naked eyes.General Ruan ordered the entire army to line up in the military camp to repel the enemy and use bows and arrows to block the approaching Ming army.The fortifications had been built earlier, but the troops had just retreated from the front and the deployment of defense was very hasty. Not long after G

At that time, a surprise attack from the Ming army first reached the Bac Giang provincial capital. Someone from the Dai Viet army soon opened the south gate and fled. Nguyen Jian was locked up in a corridor in the government office, and it was not clear whose troops were behaving in such an absurd manner.However, the situation in Bac Giang Prefecture became chaotic, and since Nguyen Chien was a Dai Viet official, there was no one to watch over him, so he was able to escape from the government office.Nguyen Chien was born into a family of officials and landlords. His father, Nguyen Feiqing, was a bureaucrat in the Tran Dynasty. Later, when the Hu family usurped the throne, his father continued to serve as an official in the court. The Hu family was originally a powerful official of the Tran Dynasty, so there were many civil and military officials under the command of the Tran Dynasty. It was normal for Nguyen's father to join the Hu family.Unexpectedly, th

Among all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty at this time, Liu Sheng was undoubtedly the most handsome general.He was over 30 years old, tall, with a broad back and a symmetrical face. His skin was naturally light in color, and compared to most of the warriors in the army, he looked cleaner and tidier. Because he was born with a handsome appearance, Liu Sheng also paid attention to his words and deeds, and had a somewhat elegant temperament.Under Liu Sheng's humble appearance, one could always sense a kind of restrained arrogance. Occasionally, he would speak a few literary words or express some truths in front of the soldiers, which made everyone half understand and only feel that he was unfathomable.Now he was standing on a sand boat, gazing at the heaving sea, his crimson cloak fluttering in the wind.The sea route from the mouth of Songtai River (near today's Haiphong City) to the mouth of Majiang River in Thanh Hoa Prefecture is about 300 miles, an

The Ming army Liu Sheng's troops arrived at the mouth of the Majiang River by boat and arrived at the city of Thanh Hoa soon! When the news reached Thanh Hoa, it immediately shocked the government and the public.The defeat of General Nguyen, the Grand Tutor of Dai Viet, had already caused panic among the people. General Nguyen, who claimed to have an army of 500,000, was defeated in the attack on the Ming reinforcements and the military camp defense battle within half a day, and then lost the Beijiang Prefecture. Nguyen Jian, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, rushed back to Thanh Hoa and informed Chen Jikuo of the details, and Chen Jikuo was extremely panicked.Suddenly, there was news about Liu Shengjun, which was like adding insult to injury.The entire "imperial capital" of Thanh Hoa was in turmoil because Chen Jikuo decided to leave Thanh Hoa that day and retreat to his hometown of Nghe An. The defense of Thanh Hoa would be handed over to t

Thanh Hoa City, the second largest city in Annan, is second only to Dongguan (Hanoi), but it is still far from being comparable to the important cities in the Ming Dynasty . This is an ancient city, with moss-covered bricks on the walls, as if telling its heritage.In early October, Liu Sheng led more than 20,000 troops of the government army and stationed them on the banks of the Majiang River and east of Thanh Hoa City.Liu Sheng was riding a horse, more than a hundred steps away from the city wall, looking at the city in front. A few arrows were thrown from the air from time to time, making the guards and soldiers very nervous, fearing that the commander would make a mistake. Liu Sheng, however, looked calm as he listened to the military intelligence report from the scout general who had just arrived."On the day we arrived at Majiangkou, Chen Jikkuo's men went south. The latest detection report was at noon today. Careful inspection found that Chen Jikkuo

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a sound of gongs and drums on the streets of Thanh Hoa City. Several officials and a group of soldiers were beating gongs and shouting loudly in Chinese and Annan."The Ming Empire and the vassal state of Annan are friendly and family. The rebel Chen Jikuan falsely claimed to be a member of the Chen clan and started a rebellion that harmed the local area. The Ming royal army went to fight him, which was in line with the great righteousness and orthodoxy. The legitimate king of the Chen clan has returned to Annan, and with the help of the Ming army, he has put down the rebellion and benefited the people. He has restored the Chen royal lineage and allowed the people to live and work in peace. The army entered the city without harming anyone, and posted notices to keep the people safe at the government office and the city gates.""The government troops protect those who abide by the law and protect the good. Those who take advantage of t

The turbulent day had come to an end, and the night outside was gradually falling. The lanterns under the eaves and the oil lamps lit in the rooms made the houses in the government office in Thanh Hoa City look very old. Suddenly, Ruan found that the world had become quiet without her knowing when.Liu Sheng's voice said, "I ordered the release of Ruan Jian's family for a reason. But it was not because of my lust for Madam's beauty, but because of my own knot in my heart."His expression quickly dimmed, and he sighed, "During the 'Clash of Crimes', I led my army to surrender to the current emperor, and my family was killed by the deposed prince and his gang..."When Ruan heard this, her doubts were immediately resolved. She couldn't help but secretly look at Liu Sheng, and felt that this handsome noble from the Ming Kingdom was not as scary as the rumors said. She almost immediately believed that Liu Sheng was not a bad person and would not hurt her.S

"Capture Nghe An within half a month! Wipe out all the rebels and capture the rebel leader Chen Jikuan." Liu Sheng gave orders to the generals around him, and his attitude was very serious.All the generals clasped their fists and accepted the order, and everyone was excited.Liu Sheng did not make such a decision impulsively. The Ming army had been stationed in Thanh Hoa City for three days and Liu Sheng had called the civil and military officials to discuss matters several times, but he had never discussed the deadline for the attack. It was not until today that he learned that Chen Jikuo's troops had continued southward to Nghe An (Vinh City) after reaching Yanzhou (Huangmei) that he was full of confidence in the time.The entire journey from Thanh Hoa to Yen Chau and then to Nghe An is about 300 li. If it was just a march, the Ming army, with infantry, cavalry and baggage, could reach Nghe An within seven days; but because there was Yen Chau on the way a
