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

163 Sea Battle
  The Yingtian ship is the main force in naval battles.

Mu Sheng gave the order. When it was possible to attack, the Yingtian ship would move first. The other warships would follow the Yingtian ship on the left and right sides. They would only assist, helping to fire one or two cannons to scare the enemy warships.

As the temporary person in charge of the Yingtian ship, Zheng He ordered the helmsman to sail towards Annan's warship.

The soldiers on the Annan warship saw the Yingtian ship moving. They were a little nervous at first, but they didn't realize how strong the Yingtian ship was, so they also sailed towards the Ming warship.

The Annan warships also had artillery. The Annan soldiers also wanted to bombard the skyships after entering the shooting range, but Mu Sheng would not let them do so.

"fire!"

Mu Sheng had a certain judgment on the range of the Shenwei Cannon, and when he saw that it was almost done, he gave the order.

"fire!"

Zheng He also drank.

Soldiers from Shenji Battalion quickly reloaded artillery shells.

boom!
  A deafening sound appeared on the ship.

Twenty divine cannons turned their muzzles towards the enemy's warships and fired out at the same time. Twenty shells were shot out, some missed and hit the sea, splashing up a high water column, and some hit the The Annan warship exploded on the spot and ignited the gunpowder on the Annan warship, which was immediately destroyed.

With the opening of the Yingtian ship, the naval battle officially began.

Facing those ordinary warships, the Yingtian Ship is a dimensionality reduction strike.

The navy generals on the Annan side never imagined that the Ming army's warships and artillery were so fierce. The two sides exchanged fire for a while, and their artillery was sunk before they could even touch the side of the Yingtian ship. Many warships.

Mu Sheng had no intention of letting the enemy go and ordered the battleship to continue advancing.

The Ming warships following them also advanced. Although their artillery was far less powerful than the Shenwei cannon, they could still fire. After closing the distance, they bombarded the Annan warships.

boom……

The sound of artillery fire continued to echo, and the Ming army was covered by firepower.

Annan's warships sank one by one.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the Yingtian ship can now control the artillery with greater accuracy than before. Out of ten cannons, an average of seven can hit the enemy warship.

On the Annan side, they were beaten without a chance to fight back. The Ming army's warships quickly approached the mouth of the sea and penetrated into the river.

Annan's warships could retreat into the river, but in this way, the area on the water surface was reduced, and the warships could not move or separate. They became fixed targets and allowed to be bombarded by the Yingtian warships.

More and more warships are being sunk now.

On both sides of the river, some infantrymen gathered. They also set up some artillery to bombard the Ming warships entering their river. Mu Sheng saw this and ordered a counterattack.

"beat!"

The order was passed on, and the warships on both sides of the Yingtian ship fired at the same time on both sides of the river.

The Annan soldiers on the shore were beaten so hard that they dared not show up again.

This water battle lasted for almost three hours.

The Yingtian ship penetrated deep into the river, and the enemy's warships were basically destroyed. The battle was very fierce.

"According to the map, you can reach Hanoi by following this river and going all the way in."

Mu Sheng opened a map, observed it for a while, and asked: "Is there enough coal in the Yingtian ship to continue going inside?"

"Enough to get in!"

Zheng He affirmed: "The coal prepared by Xiao Huangsun on the ship can allow us to respond to the sky twice. There is no problem in driving it into Hanoi."

Mu Sheng said with a high voice: "Okay, keep fighting!"

The navy of the Ming Dynasty went all the way.

No one can resist this journey. However, as the river goes upstream, the width becomes smaller and the water is not deep enough. After Zheng He observed it, he found that the river could not support the navigation of the Yingtian ship any further. Stranded. They had to stop. At this time, Annan gathered his troops and fought from both sides of the river.

"Prepare for landing operations!"

Mu Sheng ordered: "Shenwei cannon, bombard the shore first."

The Shenwei cannon turned and fired, and the shells were fired again.

The enemies on both sides of the river were beaten back continuously, and then Mu Sheng led his troops to land and fight. The combat power of the Annan army was far less powerful than the Ming army. After killing for a while, the Annan soldiers fled.

By the time the fighting calmed down, it was already evening.

Mu Sheng ordered that the entire army be divided into three parts, camped on both sides of the strait, and took turns on the ship. They all must be vigilant and beware of enemies sabotaging their warships underwater.

Early tomorrow morning, Mu Sheng will lead his troops and set off from the land to advance towards Hanoi.

-

Luzhou.

"Your Highness, we have found out that within Annan, there has been a large number of recruitment and mobilization of troops not long ago."

Yan Guan came back and said: "But there is some turmoil in Annan, and the recruitment failed. Instead, some deserters fled to the north, but they did not dare to approach our Luzhou side. There are also some refugees who went north to avoid the war."

After Zhu Xuan heard these words, he quickly analyzed it in his mind: "Uncle Mu and the others should have taken action and invaded from the sea. Contact Master Cen and we are also prepared to take action!"

"Yes!"

Yan Guan and the others said.

Next, it's time to really fight again.

They only have more than 3,000 people left. If they want to break into Annan alone, it is not enough. They have to join up with Cen Rui. He Fu will definitely enter Annan by then. If he joins them, he will be guaranteed.

It may be that some time ago, Zhu Xuan's deeds of killing Ruan Wenyong and others spread, which caused the Annan people to flee northward. They did not dare to rush towards Luzhou and Zhennanguan, but fled in other directions.

In this case, Zhu Xuan was happy and free, and asked people to keep in touch with Cen Rui and the others. He waited for several days. According to the news brought back from Annan by Jinyiwei scouts, it was said that Hu Jisao had finally integrated all the deserters to form two lines of defense.

The sea area east of Hanoi was bombarded by Mu Sheng, who penetrated into Annan.

Because the Yingtian ship draft was too deep for the river to carry, it had to disembark and fight. One of the lines of defense was to prevent Mu Sheng from going deep into the river.

The Annan people used their familiarity with the mountainous terrain to focus on mountain warfare, which temporarily prevented Mu Sheng from reaching Hanoi and hindered the attack.

Mu Sheng and the others can be very fierce on the boat, but on land, they suffer the disadvantage of not understanding the terrain and cannot have as many opponents as they can on the boat.

The second line of defense is the defense in the north of Annan.

The main thing is to guard against Zhu Xuan and the others, the Ming army that invaded from the south of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hu Jiya still has some tricks up his sleeve to gather people together so quickly."

After hearing the news, Zhu Xuan added: "By doing this, Hu Jiya should have gathered all the troops in Annan who can go to the battlefield."

Yan Guan nodded and said: "That's basically it. If they don't do this, we will destroy them."

"Even if you do this, we will destroy you."

Hou Xian agreed.

The Ming army penetrated into Annan and was approaching Hanoi. Annan was destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Zhu Xuan asked again: "How is the situation with Mr. Cen?"

He waited for Cen Rui's move, and together they broke into Annan and destroyed both countries. They were embarrassed to say that they had fought in ancient times.
