Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 162 Night Attack
  everything's ready.

"fire!"

Cen Rui issued the order.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who came to the east in the dark finished setting up the Tiger Crouching Cannon, pointed the muzzle at the enemy's barracks, and ignited the explosive line to ensure that they were within the strike range.

boom!
  The deafening sound of cannons appeared in the dark night.

When the Annan soldiers in the enemy camp heard the sound, they were immediately awakened. Before they could recover, shells and stones slammed into the camp.

A batch of Tiger Crouching Cannons were destroyed, and they only had three left.

Three artillery shells were fired in, and the damage range was not very large. The purpose was to attract the enemy's attention. After the soldiers finished firing, they quickly reloaded their ammunition and started firing the second shot. The roaring sound continued to echo in the dark night, deafening.

After two shells were fired, the Annan soldiers in the enemy camp finally discovered the situation here. Under the command of the lieutenants, they wanted to kill to the east.

But as soon as the Annan soldiers set off, two rows of gunmen from the Shenji Battalion appeared in the north of the camp.

boom……

The sound of rifles suddenly appeared behind the artillery.

Bullets rained down into the enemy's ranks.

The two rows of gunmen took turns firing, and countless bullets flew past. The Annan soldiers were suddenly disrupted by this sudden attack. They originally wanted to counterattack to the east, but now they had to gather to the north.

They put up shields one by one to withstand the impact of bullets, hoping to counterattack from the north.

However, as soon as the Annan soldiers' counterattack began, Cen Rui ordered the Tiger Crouching Cannon to be brought back. The shells landed on those shields and easily penetrated their defenses.

"Come in from the east and fight in!"

Cen Rui shouted: "The gunmen continue to shoot in the north."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhu Xuan and said, "Your Highness, please don't take any risks. Just watch from behind. Leave these to me."

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Cen!"

Under the leadership of professionals like Cen Rui, the soldiers quickly launched an attack. The infantry rushed into the enemy's camp from the east.

In addition to the sound of cannons and gunshots echoing in the dark night, voices shouting for death and screams also rang out sadly.

Zhu Xuan stood behind and watched, feeling the cruelty of the battlefield. He also followed Cen Rui's instructions and did not commit suicide himself.

Yan Guan was worried that those White Lotus Sect demons would come again, so he kept a close eye on them.

They watched the battle from the rear until late at night and early in the morning, when the siege of Annan finally came to an end.

"Your Highness!"

Cen Rui led his troops back and reported: "We won a great victory in this battle. In addition to thousands of people who escaped, we took care of the rest. We also brought back the grain, grass, supplies, etc. in the enemy camp."

"well-done!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "The food will be distributed to the people in Luzhou. Then Master Cen should go back and prepare to implement our plan. I will also stay in Luzhou and we will invade Annan together or kill him." Annamites fleeing north."

"it is good!"

Cen Rui hesitated for a moment and felt that there was no problem with this arrangement.

His Highness the Fifth Emperor is becoming more and more mature.

Not only Hou Xian and the others had this idea, but Cen Rui also had it.

After packing up the trophies, they returned to Luzhou. At this time, it was almost dawn. After arranging the soldiers on duty, Zhu Xuan went back to rest first.

the next morning.

Cen Rui said goodbye to Zhu Xuan and led his troops back to his defensive position. Mu Sheng's bombardment of Annan was almost ready to proceed.

——     Hanoi is the capital of Annam.

The news that Ruan Wen Yong was killed in battle and that the entire army was annihilated was conveyed quickly through the fleeing soldiers, and was finally delivered to Hu Ji Yao.

After receiving this news and truly seeing the power of the Ming army, Hu Jiyou was frightened and quickly summoned the ministers in the court to discuss how to deal with the next Ming army attack.

If they dare to attack the Ming Emperor's grandson, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let Annan go.

There will definitely be an all-out war!
  According to their intelligence, there were only a few thousand Ming troops in Luzhou, and they could kill more than 20,000 Annan soldiers. The strength of this group of Ming troops seemed to be stronger than before.

If defeated, Hu Jisao felt that Annan was no match at all.

Not only did he think so, but other ministers in the DPRK also thought so.

There were also some ministers who were so frightened by the news that they almost resigned and went home. In their perception, the Ming army was the strongest. If the Ming army went south to retaliate on a large scale, they might be destroyed.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty discussed it until the end, but nothing could be agreed upon.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, a soldier rushed in from outside and panted: "I just got the news that a huge ship came outside Cat Ba Island, with the flag of the Ming army hanging on it, and there were hundreds of Ming ships. The warships of the army, together with the big ships, are approaching our Guang'an."

"what!"

Hu Jiyou stood up suddenly.

They all knew that the Ming army would not let Annan go, so the emperor's grandson led his troops southward from Zhennanguan in the north. Unexpectedly, the Ming army's actions were not only from land, but also from the sea. A group of navy was approaching. .

The Ming army is going to destroy their Annan rhythm!

"Quickly pass the order and let our navy go to battle!"

After Hu Ji Yao was frightened, he could only bite the bullet and fight the Ming army, shouting: "Send the order again, gather all the troops from across the country, go north to form a defense line, and resist the Ming army going south!"

Orders were quickly sent out of Hanoi.

The soldiers of the Annan Hu Dynasty continued to gather and the army began to take action.

The order was soon passed to Guang'an, and warships and navies from Dongchao, Guang'an, and Haiphong gathered at the seaport at the outlet one after another to prepare for a water battle with the Ming Dynasty navy.

Their news is a bit blocked.

I don't know that the Ming Navy destroyed Chen Zuyi. If I knew about it, I probably didn't dare to start a naval battle with the Ming Dynasty.

Near Cat Ba Island.

Mu Sheng led the Yingtian Ship to come here.

Originally they thought that one Yingtian ship was enough to disrupt the entire Annan, but Mu Sheng considered that in the end, one ship was still too few, so he gathered hundreds of naval warships from several guard posts in Qinzhou to fight together.

The first place they attacked was Guang'an.

This is the gateway to the sea on the east side of Hanoi. As long as we capture the port here, we can successfully enter the inland river, land and fight into Hanoi, and then join forces with He Fu and Cen Rui to surround Hanoi and kill Hu Jimiya.

"Marquis Xiping!"

Zheng He walked over from the side of the ship and said, "Annan has dispatched a large number of warships and is heading towards us."

Mu Sheng inherited Mu Chun's title and was the new Marquis of Xiping. Hearing this, he came to the side of the ship and looked out. He saw hundreds of Annan warships sailing out of the port, Annan's military flag fluttering in the wind.

The scene can be said to be spectacular!

However, Annan's warships did not dare to attack first, but just sailed out to confront the Ming army.

"Send the order, Qinzhou's warships separate first and advance on both sides of the Yingtian ship."

Mu Sheng would not be polite to the Annan people, so he immediately issued an order and said: "Attack!"
