Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 561 Marching into Annan

"Moreover, even if they attack Thang Long City, it will be much easier for them to attack from the sea than to attack directly from the land!"

Mu Sheng glanced at the master and said slowly: "They should know!"

"Then this..."

The master's eyes widened.

"That's it!"

Mu Sheng sighed helplessly and said: "We will assemble the army and march forward first. As for the situation of Shenglong City, I will write to Duke Cao to inform him!"

"only if!"

In this regard, the master also looked helpless.

Now, in Yunnan, there is King Min watching, and above the court, there is also His Majesty watching. Although the Mu Mansion has a heavy army, it is cautious and difficult to move.

Wait until Mu Sheng's letter is delivered to Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong, Guo An and others had directly led the army, starting from Siming Mansion, and attacked Annan openly and without any tactics.

"Ning Yi, is this really okay?"

Among the army, Li Jinglong looked surprised.

"I have learned so many military arts since I was a child, but I have never fought like this? It's like... it's like..."

"A gang fight among idlers on the street?"

Guo An smiled lightly and spoke up for Li Jinglong.

"Hahaha, Ning Yi also knows?"

Li Jinglong smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Li, don't worry. To deal with these barbarians, Shenji Camp doesn't need to do anything fancy!"

Guo An looked confident.

"Boom~"

As he said that, there was a loud sound not far ahead.

Several big trees fell to the ground, and strangely, no animals were frightened and ran out.

Seeing this, Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at Guo An with a complicated look, "Ning Yi, isn't this fancy?"

Guo Andao: "Brother Li, this is a scout from my Shenji Battalion!"

Li Jinglong's eyes twitched slightly, "Use artillery as a scout. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Ning Yi and your Shenji Battalion are as wealthy as you!"

Guo An said: "Brother Li, there are too many poisonous gas and poisonous insects in this land of Annan. I am afraid that even the most elite scouts will have difficulty detecting it. If those Annan people are allowed to hide in it, I am afraid that if this continues, our army will not be able to reach Shenglong City. , it was slowly polished away by those Annan people!"

Li Jinglong nodded slightly.

Guo An continued: "The most important thing is that we want those Annan people to know that since my Ming army is here, if they want to hide in the depths of these jungles for a sneak attack, that is wishful thinking and they are just waiting to die in vain!"

Li Jinglong's eyes also flashed with coldness, "That's right, these barbarians rely on these places full of poisonous insects, they are extremely arrogant, and they don't take the Ming Dynasty in their eyes.

This time, let them see the power of my Ming Dynasty’s firearms! "

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

On the side, several generals and lieutenants also had fierce looks on their faces.

Especially the generals from Guangxi and Guangdong were full of excitement.

Next to Annan, these Annan barbarians are not so honest. With the help of elephant soldiers, they often come to bully the people of Ming Dynasty and even rob property and food.

This is just a few miles into the Annan border. Is it a waste of artillery to use artillery to conduct reconnaissance like this?

As the generals were thinking, an artillery bomb flew into the distance again.

"Boom..."

"Ah~"

The expressions of Li Jinglong, Guo An and others changed, and all the soldiers in front and behind suddenly became wary.

A school captain ran over from the front.

"Reporting to Lord Cao Guo and Marquis Dinghai, a group of Annan barbarian scouts exploded two miles ahead.

According to the order of the Marquis, the general and others did not go to watch, but just took a look with clairvoyance.

The artillery wounded two Annan barbarians, who were lying on the ground rolling.

The remaining Annan barbarians fled in fright..." "According to the Marquis's instructions, the general and others did not rush to pursue them! "

As he said that, a trace of pity flashed in the captain's eyes.

If they chased them, they would definitely be able to catch up with a few.

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "There is no need to pursue. We can just push forward steadily and capture Annan Kingdom. There is no need to pave the way with human lives like this!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis, for being considerate of our brothers!"

The captain said with a grateful face.

The surrounding generals from Guangxi and Guangdong looked at Guo An with slightly changed expressions.

These days, there are not many civil servants who can take Qiu Ba in their eyes, and those who know how to cherish these soldiers and generals are even rarer!

"Okay, let's find some soldiers who are familiar with these Annan barbarians, drag down the two Annan scouts, and interrogate them!

It would be great if they cooperated and gave them a way to survive.

If you don't cooperate, you can do whatever you want! "

After saying that, Guo An thought of something and quickly handed over to Li Jinglong with an apologetic look on his face.

"I wonder if the general thinks there is anything missing in the general's arrangement?"

"Just do what Ning Yi says!"

Li Jinglong laughed loudly and didn't mind at all.

He is not that stingy person, and the expedition to Annan this time is mainly based on the Shenji Camp and the Five Thousand Lower Camp.

Both armies are dominated by Guo An.

The most important thing is that Zhu Di asked him to be the general to conquer the barbarians, not to show off his power, but to look after Guo An and Shenji Camp.

Even if he didn't mention these, just because Guo An earned him millions of taels of silver from Cao Guogong's mansion every year, or even millions of taels of silver, he would still call Guo An brothers.

As the captain clasped his fists and saluted, he left.

Li Jinglong added: "This time, Ning Yi can command however he wants. Although we are generals, we don't understand how the Shenji Battalion fights. We can just watch from the sidelines!"

"The general is so humble. This battle depends entirely on the general!"

Guo An said quickly.

Li Jinglong said sincerely: "Ning Yi, you and I, brothers, don't be so polite. We just came to see how the Shenji Battalion fights!"

"In that case, you're welcome, little brother!"

Guo An slightly arched his hands.

Then, he ordered again: "Since the Annan barbarian scouts have arrived here, it proves that the Annan barbarian army is not far away.

All artillery reconnaissance, double the density!

The whole army marches cautiously, be careful of the trap set by the Annan barbarians! "

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

A group of school captains took the order.

immediately.

The army slowly set off again

In a mountain forest not far from the army, there are tens of thousands of war elephants hidden.

On these elephants, there are still silhouettes of people standing.

"General, general, those Ming people are coming!"

Several figures ran over in a panic from a distance and reported to the strong man on the leading elephant.

"how many people?"

"Tens of thousands of people?"

"Tens of thousands?"

The general's eyes widened and he said angrily, "How many are there?"

"Reporting back to the general, those Ming people used explosive firearms to blow up the forest. The villain and others did not dare to get close. They were chased by those firearms and exploded. Two brothers were killed before they ran back!"

The scout said with a sad face.
