Chapter 237: Allies aiding the people of Annan

Qi Tai looked solemn and said loudly: "Then, resist with all your strength. In the current situation, you and him are incompatible. If Li Ji Jing wins, he will definitely seize the king and kill the king. The whole family will be slaughtered. Annan will no longer exist, and the Chen family will Cease to exist!”

Chen Rikun's face was earth-colored, and he was so frightened that he lost his mind.

His character has always been soft and has no ideas of his own.

But now is the moment of life and death. He knows in his heart that since the war has begun, there will be no truce. It is like two lions fighting to the death.

The only way now is to gamble!
This is a stud!
This is a stud!
"Understood!" Chen Rikun took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Before the Ming army arrives, I will try my best to resist it. If I die unfortunately, my child will become the heir of this kingdom."

"It's too early to draw a conclusion now. With Annan's terrain, even if we can't defeat him, we can at least hold him back for a while."

"Ok."

Determined to take a gamble, Chen Rikun finally began to form a decent army, taking advantage of the geographical location and the support of the people to deal with Li Ji Zheng's troops, forming a stalemate.

Seeing this scene, Li Jizheng once again mobilized the troops occupying the city and launched an attack on Chen Rikun.

This time, they couldn't even say words of comfort. Chen Rikun's troops and Li Jijing's troops faced each other head-on. There were no tricks, they were just head-on.

The training of the soldiers on both sides was not at the same level at all. Chen Rikun's troops were as vulnerable as pieces of paper in front of Li Jizheng.

Li Jizheng took the lead and took the lead. He didn't use any big moves, he just used small-scale attacks to defeat Chen Rikun's small-scale attacks.

Chen Rikun has completely lost his position. The only thing he can do now is to rely on the mountains and rivers to resist, but he can't resist for long, and the entire army has been forced to retreat steadily.

They had retreated closer to Lang Son.

If Chen Rikun hadn't escaped in time, he would probably have been captured by Li Jijing's army.Chen Rikun stood on the top of the mountain, feeling the biting cold air. He had an urge to cry. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Messenger, how about we surrender?"

"Surrender is nothing. Your men are all ready to fight to the death. Why are you the first to surrender?"

Chen Rikun curled his lips and looked at the rows of soldiers wearing tattered clothes and with scars on their bodies. He smiled slightly and was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Jingle Bell.

"Enemy attack! Be prepared to fight!"

A general shouted.

At this moment, Chen Rikun's face turned pale. He drew out his sword and looked back with a wary expression. When did the opponent silently climb up from behind him?

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Where?"

Chen Rikun said tremblingly.

"Haha" he laughed and laughed.

"I finally made it out!"

They were surprised to find that heads were emerging from the dense trees, and the area was as dark as the tide.The leader was a tall man with a big beard, and he looked like a rough man at first glance.

Chen Rikun said in disbelief: "Are you a great Mingshi?"

Scholar Liang stared at Chen Rikun suspiciously and said, "That's right."

When Qi Tai saw this scene, he quickly stepped forward and told the story exactly.

Immediately, Shi Ziliang stepped forward enthusiastically, slapped Chen Rikun on the shoulder, and said loudly: "If you can form an alliance with me, the Ming Dynasty, you will naturally be our good brother. Haha, the rest will be taken care of by us!"

Chen Rikun had been beaten until his bones were about to burst, but he still held on and said, "That Li man has 50 troops at the foot of the mountain. Don't underestimate him!" "50?!" Shi Ziliang rolled his eyes. He flashed his light and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, there are fifty thousand heads under this mountain. These are obviously trophies sent to us. Let's go over and kill them right now!"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ah?"

"Why bother? You are a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and we should help you."

Chen Rikun was deeply moved when he saw the high morale of the Ming soldiers. When he saw the burly scholar Ziliang, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes.

You are not the general of the Ming Dynasty, you are the biological father I have never met!

The sky was trembling, as if it was beating on everyone's heart, and the steps under his feet became heavier. Li Jijing suddenly raised his head and looked up.

Where did Chen Rikun get the courage to fight back like this?

However, just as he was hesitating, he saw a large number of soldiers appearing on the top of the mountain, and more soldiers rushed down from the top of the mountain, rushing towards him like a tide.

Li Jizheng was dumbfounded, and his whole body trembled.

"The Ming Army?!"

In his stunned eyes, the Ming army collided with his own soldiers. The leader of the Ming army, a Ming general, held a long sword and ran rampant through the crowd.

He was like a tireless monster, rampaging all the way without slowing down at all, and no one could stop him.

Due to the scarcity of iron ore in Annan, most of the soldiers were unarmored. Facing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were armed with live ammunition, it was like a wolf breaking into a sheepfold, with no chance of victory or defeat.

"escape!"

Li Ji roared at the top of his lungs, then turned around and ran away without hesitation!
The other soldiers also came to their senses and followed closely behind.

The chase and escape lasted for dozens of miles.

"Damn, you ran so fast!" Shi Ziliang panted, and ordered his men to stop chasing and rest on the spot.

When Chen Rikun arrived, he was extremely surprised when he saw broken fingers and broken flesh everywhere. He hurried to Shi Ziliang's side and asked him about the battle situation.

"The enemy is too weak and is running away!"

Hearing this, Chen Rikun finally felt relieved. Li Jijing, who was originally invincible, seemed so vulnerable in front of the Ming army.

Now that he has the support of the Ming army, does he still need to be afraid?

Chen Rikun immediately asked: "Commander, what are we going to do next?"

Shi Ziliang looked at the army behind Chen Rikun, frowned, and said: "The soldiers you lead are really bad, why don't you put them into my Ming army and put them under my command, and leave the rest of the battle to I'll handle it."

"Ah?" Chen Rikun was stunned. Was he going to just give it up?
Shi Ziliang snorted coldly: "Do you think I will covet these soldiers and horses? I am here this time to train your troops. If you don't want to, that's it. I, the Ming army, will set off back to Lingnan tomorrow."

"No, no." Chen Rikun said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, okay, you will be in command of this unit."

"This is just right. In addition, in order to facilitate the mobilization of my Ming army, I immediately issued an imperial edict to tell them that my Ming army is an ally who came to assist the people of Annan.

"Ah."

"Okay, this is easy to handle."

In the following days, an army arrived here from Lingnan, accompanied by a group of civil and military officials.

For places like Annan, which were in disarray, officials of the Ming Dynasty could be said to be very familiar with it. They made various efforts to appease the conquered places and formulated a governance system similar to that of the Ming Dynasty to win over the powerful and allow the people to return to farming.
