heavy weapon is king

Chapter 272 Unify Annan, Rise of Bandits (Volume [-]: End)
Just three days after Nie Zheng occupied Zengzhou, in the territory of Chishui City.

Chishui City, which belongs to the border of Annan County, is separated from the adjacent Dayue Country by a tropical jungle.

The Chishui River is about 350 miles away from Zengzhou. If you go down a hundred miles along the river, you can enter the Mehe River hidden in the tropical jungle. It is the territory of the Dai Viet people.

At dusk at sunset, the sun shines lightly.

At this moment, in Xi'an on the Chishui River, tens of thousands of Da Yue soldiers and horses, wearing battle armor and holding weapons, guarding thousands of transportation vehicles, appeared on the river bank in a mighty manner.

After seven days of long-distance travel, all the faces of the people in Dayue were covered with dust, their eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and their expressions looked extremely tired and depressed.

They knew very well in their hearts that the king's order to withdraw the entire army to the Mehe River was a helpless move, and it was also a retreat and compromise of all Dai Viet warriors to the enemy.

Although these Da Viet warriors evacuated in embarrassment with great reluctance, they still had to admit that they had failed in the face of those dragon and tiger rebels with mysterious firearms, and they had suffered a disastrous defeat.

On the west bank of the Chishui River, [-] Da Yue soldiers crowded on the long river bank, waiting for the tribal fleet to appear.

At this moment, every Dai Viet person felt very heavy.

This embarrassing evacuation is simply a shame for every brave and skilled Dai Viet people.A shame that can never be erased!

Since they captured Annan County more than [-] years ago, they have been invincible and invincible. Never once did they fight those cowardly and fearful Han troops who threw away their helmets and armor and ran away.

Especially when the imperial court sent [-] troops to attack the Yue Kingdom, in the jungle, thousands of warriors killed by them were scattered all over the field, and they were powerless to fight back.

At that time, all the people of Dayue proudly believed that the court of the Great Song Dynasty was nothing more than that, and the elite soldiers and generals of the Great Song Dynasty were even more vulnerable.

Why do these cowardly and incompetent Han dogs occupy such a large and fertile land?Why do they have to pay tribute every year?

So very soon, under the leadership of Sang Kang, they swept across the entire Southwest and swallowed up the entire Annan County in less than two years.

For a long time, they have always looked down on the Han people, despised the Han people, and even hated the Han people.

In their eyes, the Han people are pigs and dogs, a bunch of useless people, not worthy of respect, and not worthy of equal treatment. In front of the Dai Viet people, all Han dogs should be reduced to slaves only for them to drive.

In fact, they have been doing this for so many years when they occupied Annan.

They are not afraid of the resistance of these Han dogs, because, no matter how much they resist, they will not be the opponents of their heroic and invincible Dai Viet people.

Therefore, all along, when they faced the cowardly and incompetent Han people, their hearts would be filled with an extremely arrogant sense of superiority.

But now, all the arrogance and sense of superiority in their hearts disappeared because of Nie Zheng's appearance.

Ten days ago, when they learned that the 10,000+ tribal elites led by Sangkang were all annihilated outside Yangzhou City by the Han Chinese known as the "Dragon and Tiger Army", all the people in Dayue were shocked. It's hard to believe this is true.

One thousand iron bull cavalry, hundreds of giant elephant cavalry, [-] silver lion soldiers, and [-] tribal coalition troops. This battle can be said to have exhausted all the elite armed forces in Dayue, which can be regarded as unprecedented.

But as a result, 10,000+ people died tragically on the battlefield, and only thousands of remnants fled back with Sangkang.

For the first time in their lives, they felt the fear, the cold-bloodedness and terror from those dragon and tiger rebels.

Especially recently, in the retreating team of the Dayue people, people kept describing the horrors of the war outside Yangzhou City that day, those mysterious firearms, those explosions that destroyed the world, and the roaring and crushing giant steel beasts, All of these retreating Da Viet were frightened and their scalps went numb.

Now, they have completely lost their fighting spirit and only want to return to the territory of Yue State as soon as possible and leave this terrible place.

The river is rushing and torrenting.

Supported by a group of Da Yue generals, Sang Kang stood on a high slope on the west bank of Chishui. Everyone looked at the lower reaches of the river in silence, all looking a little heavy and haggard.

Since the last battle outside the city of Yangzhou, Sang Kang suffered physical and mental injuries. Although the internal injuries blasted by the terrifying shock wave that day, although he took a lot of magic pills recently, he still didn't get much better.

Sang Kang's face was still pale, and his pulse was also vain and unstable, but his eyes were still as cold and cold as before, especially when he thought of the fiasco that day, the vicious resentment in his eyes became more intense.

Li Huairen, a white-clothed scholar, was also having a hard time during this time. There were many people affected by the super bomb that day, and he was one of them. However, his strength was relatively deep, so he did not die, but his internal organs were injured by the suppression.

Looking at the endlessly flowing river, Sang Kang said expressionlessly: "How long will it take for Sang Long's fleet to arrive?"

"Weichen has just received the letter that Prince Long's fleet has entered the redwood forest upstream. It is estimated that the fleet will respond in half an hour at most."

Sangkang nodded and didn't say much.

Suddenly, at this time, a messenger officer suddenly passed through the tide of soldiers, and came to Sang Kang in a hurry, "Report to the king, according to the report, the gang of dragon and tiger thieves have led 3000 people to appear at the thirty Inside and outside."

Hearing these words, all the generals of Da Yue were shocked and their expressions changed drastically.

Sang Kang's face was as cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice, "Did the thief come in pursuit?"

The messenger officer didn't dare to look into Sangkang's murderous eyes, and said anxiously: "The thieves passed through the city and left soldiers and horses to garrison, and these three thousand dragon and tiger bandit troops all carried firearms and followed them all the way. Our convoy is coming, and the enemy is aggressive, I'm afraid the comers are not good."

Hearing this, Sang Kang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he fell into silence.

Seeing this, a big Vietnamese general volunteered to ask for orders: "Your Majesty, the bandits are so rampant, Man Chang is willing to lead five thousand soldiers to fight, and please give your order."

"Please order, Your Majesty, Ruan Huo is willing to lead three thousand dead men to intercept and kill the thieves."

"Pew is willing to lead troops to meet the enemy..."

Faced with a group of generals begging for orders in danger, Sang Kang slowly closed his eyes and ignored them.

After being silent for a while, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth in a hoarse voice: "The order is passed on, everyone abandons their carriages, horses and baggage, gathers lightly, and immediately goes down the river to join the corresponding fleet as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were stunned for a moment, "Your... Your Majesty, abandon all the carriages, horses and luggage, but the hundreds of carts of gold and silver belongings..."

"Throw it all away!"

Sang Kang's face turned cold, and he roared angrily: "The thieves have fierce firearms. Once we are caught up, we will lose our lives. What do we need such burdens as gold and silver? If you don't go down and do it, believe it or not, I will chop your heads off! "

The hearts of all the generals trembled, and they nodded in response. "Yes, Your Majesty, let's do it now..."

Soon, all the 4 Vietnamese generals stationed on the west bank of the Chishui River received orders from Sang Kang.

Abandoning all the chariots, horses and baggage, quickly went down the river, and joined Prince Long's fleet as soon as possible.

All of a sudden, on the river bank, countless Da Yue soldiers abandoned their chariots and horses one after another, removed the heavy armor they were wearing, and under the command of their respective generals, they hurried along the rugged and difficult river bank, scrambling towards the downstream. After fleeing, on the shore where they had just stopped, a large number of carriages, horses and luggage were densely packed, as well as the scattered heavy armor all over the ground.

Less than an hour after Sangkang's troops left the west bank of the Chishui River in a panic, there was a faint thunderous sound of horseshoes on the road in the distance.

Thousands of dragon and tiger cavalry rolled up the sky with smoke and dust, and finally rushed to the west bank of Chishui River before night fell.

Call! ! !
With a soft shout, Nie Zheng reined in his horse and waved his arm. Immediately, the three thousand elite dragons and tigers who followed him all stopped and cast their gazes forward in unison.

At this moment, the sky is dark and the surroundings are silent.

On the west bank of the ever-flowing Chishui River, a thousand-meter-long river bank is scattered with a large number of vehicles, horses and baggage.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he ordered Xu Shijie who was following behind him: "Send someone to check and see if there is any problem with the carriages, horses and luggage."

"Yes, handsome!"

After Xu Shijie heard the order, he immediately dispatched more than a dozen powerful and quick-witted elites to rush towards the carriages, horses and luggage in an extremely fast manner.

After some careful inspection, the men went and returned. "Report to the Commander, those carriages, horses and luggage are left over from the people of Dayue, and there is nothing unusual about it."

Nie Zheng frowned and said, "Have you found gold and silver?"

"Yes, 130 silver carts, about 130 million taels, 13 gold carts, [-] taels a month, and countless other soldiers, food, grass and supplies..."

"Okay, this trip was not in vain!"

Nie Zheng was emotionally agitated, and immediately got off his horse. Under the guard of Shen Hongyu, Xu Shijie and others, he quickly walked to the river. He was going to check the gold and silver in the car himself to see how much there was.

At this moment, a few spies in charge of detecting the wind suddenly rushed from the lower reaches of the Chishui River, obviously discovering important information.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, just ten miles downstream, my subordinates have just discovered hundreds of Yue fleets that are gradually leaving. The boat got away."

Hearing this, before Nie Zheng was in a good mood, he immediately raised his head and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... these Da Yue monkeys were finally driven back to the jungle by us. From today onwards, the five cities and 28 counties in Annan County will be completely destroyed. Our dragon and tiger army has conquered the world..."
