Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

The southwest war has begun in an all-round way, and the entire Annan has been surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army on three sides.

The first shot was actually fired on the western front. After the more than 10,000 troops led by Le Nong moved to the west, they did not pay attention to the troops of the Laotian Nanzhang Dynasty at all.

Although they were once defeated by the Nanzhang Dynasty, it was mainly because they went deep alone, and their military strength was already superior to that of the Nanzhang Dynasty. They even sacked Laos City a few years ago.

Now that the Nanzhang Dynasty dares to help the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally not be polite, but they plan to teach the Nanzhang Dynasty a lesson for being on the wrong team, and at the same time solve the Western Front as soon as possible so that they can send troops to return reinforcements.

Li Nong led an army of more than 10,000 people with great momentum, took the initiative to approach the border of Laos, and directly came to the important pass guarded by Laos to call for formation.

The current leader of the Nanzhang Dynasty is Rasentai. Facing the fierce Li army, he personally led 10,000 people to fight.

Since the Le Dynasty followed the principle of external expansion, the friction between the two countries has continued over the years, and the armies of the two sides have actually forged a bloody feud.

"kill!"

King Rassentai of the Nanzhang Dynasty hated the Li army that was invading their territory, and he also shouted an order to launch an attack.

"kill!"

Li Nong's eyes flashed with excitement when he saw the Nanzhang Army taking the initiative to fight.

puff! puff! puff!

The Li army formed a neat military formation and attacked the Nanzhang army like tanks.

Annan is the Nanyang country that has the deepest connection with the Ming Dynasty. It has been a territory of China for a lot of time, so it has learned a lot of military tactics from China, and naturally also stole military formations.

It was precisely because they adopted China's most advanced military formation tactics that the Li army was able to sweep the occupying army and become the most powerful army in the Indochina Peninsula.

Now facing the Nanzhang Army, which is almost self-defeating, although the soldiers of the Nanzhang Army fought very bravely, the Li Army firmly held the advantage in the field.

kill!

Just when the battle between the two armies was in full swing, Zhang Yong led the already lurking Aegis battalion to attack from the left wing of the Li army, with the blade pointed directly at the ribs of the Li army.

The use of the Aegis Battalion in this kind of battle can be said to have directly hit the key points of the Li army, and can directly defeat the Li Chao army in one fell swoop.

"Meet the enemy!"

Li Nong realized that he had encountered a master tactician. After discovering that it was Daming's heavy cavalry that rushed out, he couldn't help but shout in panic.

kill!

When King Rasentai saw the Ming army taking action, he also increased the intensity of his attack.

At this moment, the two sides were fighting hand to hand, but it was a bloody battle between men, and the blood soon stained the battlefield red.

kill!

Zhang Yong took advantage of the nearby hillside to dive. Facing the phalanx formed by the test circle to prevent him from attacking, he immediately shouted murderously, holding the Xuefeng knife in his hand.

call out! call out! call out!

Ming Dynasty had a deeper understanding of military formations, and some things had even penetrated deep into his bones. Arrows shot at the Li Chao phalanx in front of them with the sound of piercing the air.

puff! puff! puff!

The Li army faced the rain of arrows coming from the sky. Although some soldiers were holding shields, more soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the defensive formation soon took shape.

kill!

Tie Xiangshan led the most elite troops to charge, piercing the defensive formation like a sharp knife.

As a heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, the Aegis Battalion is extremely expensive, but its combat power can be said to be invincible in close combat. Facing the Li army, which lacked soldiers and armor, it was like a wolf among sheep.

puff! puff! puff!

The three thousand soldiers of the Aegis Battalion wielded long swords and slashed hard at the enemy formation. When the sword was raised and dropped, streams of blood spattered, causing the Li army's defensive formation to be thrown into chaos.

escape!

Run away!

too strong!

…

Facing this powerful Aegis battalion, the soldiers of the Li Dynasty were unable to even parry, and they all had thoughts of escaping.

In the past, they more or less despised the Ming Dynasty's army, but now when the battle actually broke out, they realized how wrong their earlier understanding was.

How can it be?

Li Nong couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that his defensive phalanx was instantly overwhelmed, and that tall Ming army general led his troops into the ribs of the main formation.

kill!

When King Rassentai saw that the Ming army was fighting so bravely and was so invincible against the Li army, he immediately shouted loudly like a chicken.

At this moment, the Li army could not get rid of the entanglement of the Nanzhang army at all, and it was even more impossible to retreat now. It seemed to be stuck in the quagmire of the battlefield for a while.

puff! puff! puff!

Zhang Yong led the soldiers of the Shield Battalion behind him to arrive, but the archers did not bring long swords. Instead, they drew out their Xuefeng knives and massacred the Li army in chaos.

In terms of military formation attainments, Li Jun actually only learned the superficial knowledge of the Chinese military. The Chinese were already very proficient in their understanding and application of military affairs.

After all, the Li army was made of flesh and blood. Facing the heavy armor of the Ming army, the inferior weapons in their hands seemed to be ineffective, and their lethality was greatly reduced.

Li Nong saw that the ribs on the left side were about to fall apart, so he immediately led his soldiers to support him and said: "Hold on! You must hold on!"

Moo

A cry came from not far away, and a dozen elephant knights threw themselves into the battlefield.

Such a behemoth came under the command of the Elephant Knight. Once stepped on, no matter who it was, it would be dead or disabled, so it forced the people around it to choose to avoid it.

The archers of the Ming army kept shooting at the elephants, but the elephants were not only covered in battle armor, but also had rough skin and thick flesh, so they could not cause much damage at all.

When Li Nong saw the elephant cavalry coming out, he immediately shouted arrogantly: "Haha... don't run away if you have the guts! Go and trample all these Ming troops into a pulp!"

These war elephants have undergone long-term training. Under the control of the elephant cavalry, they are coming in the direction of the Iron Elephant Mountain. The thick thighs trample the injured on the ground to the northwest.

boom!

At this moment, a group of musketeers suddenly came on horseback, each holding a three-eyed musket in their hands. With the sizzle of the match rope, lead bullets were immediately fired into the face of the elephant in front. department.

Moo! Moo...

Faced with the attack of this rare thermal weapon, the elephant turned around and ran away because its own eyes were attacked, especially the eyeballs were directly blown out.

No matter how obedient they are in training, elephants will still show their animalistic side when they are severely beaten and choose to run away to avoid this unknown danger.

The elephant rider was also not immune. Arrows shot the elephant rider on the elephant's back into a sieve, and he fell down with his eyes wide open.

this……

After seeing the elephant cavalry they most relied on fleeing, the Li army's last reliance suddenly disappeared, causing the army to fall into greater panic.

Li Nong glanced at the escaping elephants hatefully, and immediately drew out his sword and issued an order: "Follow me, General, and chop their leader off the horse!"

When things have reached this point, the only way to have a chance to make a comeback is to kill the generals and leaders of the SHIELD battalion. Otherwise, their army may only be massacred by the army.

"kill!"

Li Nong's bodyguard team was still intact and immediately followed Li Nong towards Zhang Yong.

"Come and die!"

Before the personal guards led by Li Nong could approach Zhang Yong, Tie Xiangshan, armed with a long sword, had already rushed over with his troops, like the only wolf king in this battle formation.

When it comes to decapitating people, Tie Xiangshan can be said to be the first person to do so. His body is already covered in the blood of others, and he looks unstoppable at this moment.

When Li Nong's guards saw the approaching Tie Xiang Mountain, they couldn't help but swallow in fear.

Li Nong considered himself the most brave general of the Li Dynasty. Although he was a head shorter than his opponent, he was confident of taking off his opponent's head, so he urged his horse forward: "Seeking death!"

puff!

With a flash of white light and a splash of blood, Li Nong's head suddenly rolled to the ground, his eyes staring in disbelief.

"died?"

"The coach is dead?"

"This...how is this possible?"

…

When they saw Li Nong being beheaded by Tie Xiangshan, the Li army soldiers present were stunned, but they never imagined that this would be the result.

General Li, the strongest in their Li Dynasty, died under the sword of the Ming army. It was not even a battle of the same level at all.

"Li Nong is dead! Throw down your weapons quickly, and I, the general, will spare your lives!" Tie Xiangshan lifted Li Nong's head and shouted loudly to the Li army, which was already in a state of chaos.

After the soldiers of the Le Dynasty learned of Le Nong's death, some chose to surrender, but others chose to continue fighting.

It's just that there is no suspense in this battle. The heavily armored Aegis Battalion has formed an invincible division and has no fear of the Li army with such backward equipment.

Although the SHIELD Battalion will also suffer casualties, it has fully utilized its advantages throughout the battlefield and is mercilessly harvesting the lives of these soldiers.

King Lasentai was almost beaten to death by the Li army. Now facing this Li army that was crippled by the Ming army, he vented his hatred through crazy massacres.

The battle on the western front of Annan seemed very bloody. The Lebanese army of more than 10,000 people seemed to have fallen in the blink of an eye. Thousands of them had fallen. The other Lebanese soldiers had been frightened and fled or surrendered.

However, the killing did not stop. King Lasentai was already red-eyed and took the initiative to lead his men to wildly harvest the fleeing Li soldiers.

When major wars broke out on the Western Front, war also ushered in on the Northern Front.

Wang Yue led an army of 50,000 people out of Zhennanguan. Both in number and strength, it was superior to the North Route Army led by Zheng Gongluo, and the two sides also fought fiercely.

Zheng Highway was obviously more vigilant. When facing the 50,000-strong army led by Wang Yue, the famous general of the Li Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack, but chose to defend according to danger.

The most taboo thing on the battlefield is an arrogant general. Zheng Gonglu was obviously a very mature and superior general, but he did not blindly confront the Ming army head-on.

In fact, he knew that with the current military strength of the Li Dynasty, it was simply unable to compete with China, which had reached the top of the world in military attainments. Compared with China, this time it was simply an egg hitting a stone.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Zheng Gonglu learned from his son Zheng Chun who had escaped that all his family members had been killed by Li Ting. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn it! Li Sicheng, I and you are irreconcilable!"

After some weighing, Zheng Gonglu immediately led his troops to surrender, not for the illusory position of King of North Vietnam, but to avenge his family.

Thang Long City, Bao Guang Palace.

"how so?"

Li Sicheng first learned that Li Tingyan's attack on the Hengshan Pass failed, and then learned about the military situation on the western and northern fronts, and he was immediately in a state of panic.

At this moment, he finally realized that he had provoked a huge monster.

Their Li Dynasty may have become stronger over the years, but the Ming Dynasty is still a behemoth. Back then, the Ming army was able to send an army to invade Annan easily, but it is still easy now.

At this moment, Ruan Lie, the left prime minister of the DPRK, and other important ministers gathered here.

The high-spirited scene of that day no longer exists. Today's important ministers seem to be in danger, but they know that the current Li Dynasty may be unable to recover and is about to suffer the greatest catastrophe since the founding of the country.

There was no time to take care of the southern territory, but the western front was defeated, and the Zheng Highway on the northern front surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the entire Li Dynasty was in danger.

Li Sicheng slowly calmed down and finally asked Ji Yu, the important ministers present: "My dear friends, what should I do now?"

"Your Majesty, let's submit a confession!" Li Ming, the Minister of Etiquette, hesitated for a while and finally proposed.

Now the gap in military strength between the two sides is too obvious. Only by actively surrendering to the Ming Dynasty can we have a chance to gain a chance of survival. After all, the Ming Dynasty does not seem to be here for the territory, so they still have a chance to get "forgiveness" from the Ming Dynasty by lowering their profile.

"I'm afraid it's already too late! Not to mention that we are about to arrive at the city now, but now that the apology letter has been sent to the Ming court, the Ming court may no longer believe it!" Ruan Lie, the prime minister of Zuo, thought of the plan that the smart people on their side had made earlier, but he lightly He shook his head slightly.

Li Sicheng knew that it was the best thing to take the initiative to plead guilty to Ming Ting, but he had just used the apology letter to confuse Ming Ting, and now I am afraid that sending a confession letter would not have any effect.

What's more, now that the Ming army is about to capture the royal capital, the distant fire cannot relieve the near fire.

"Your Majesty, how about we leave the royal city first!" Zuo Xiangguo Ruan Lie hesitated for a while and then seriously proposed.

The biggest advantage of Annan is that there are many mountains and forests. If they can choose to escape into the mountains and forests, it will be difficult for the Ming army to find them in a short time, but they will have a chance to find new opportunities.

Li Sicheng looked thoughtfully at the important ministers present, and said with a smile on his face, "If I escape from the royal capital, I'm afraid my family will be replaced by the Zheng family or the Ding family, right?"

Now the enemy is not only the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, the Zheng family, Ding family and Ruan family who have been rooted in Annan for hundreds of years.

For example, if Zheng Highway gets the support of the Ming Dynasty, he can establish a new North Vietnamese state in Thang Long City. If that time comes, in order to quickly consolidate power, the Zheng family will naturally not be able to give the Li family another chance to make a comeback.

"Now the only option is to fight to the end! The city is alive and the people are alive, but the people at the gates are dead!" Faced with this situation, the right prime minister Guo Ding Rui, who had been silent, expressed his stance as if he was dead.

It's just that the Youxiangguo who said these words took the initiative to open the city gate when the Ming army came to the city.

No one expected that the first ones to attack Shenglong City were not the main forces from Shengshinzheng Camp and Zhennanguan, but actually the most ignored main force from southern Gansu.

When Wang Shouren saw the suddenly opened city gate, he was slightly startled for a moment, then he personally led the leading troops into the royal city and planted the flag of the Ming Dynasty on the top of the city.
