soldier rushing forward

343、Crossing the river through the fog

Since some friends suggested that telling history is not good, let's return to reality.However, it is not enough to brake suddenly, so I have to give an explanation to friends who like to watch.

Briefly speaking, after Zhang Fu knew that there were enemy troops ahead, he let the troops advance slowly and search along the hillside.As soon as the tens of thousands of troops spread out, Ming soldiers were everywhere all over the mountains and plains.At this time, no matter where a little fighting occurs, neighboring troops can quickly go to help.In this way, Annan's army could no longer hide and had to retreat.As soon as they retreated, the Ming army advanced even more swiftly.Soon, the army came to Changjiang City, built a pontoon bridge, and reached the Fuliang River.

At this time, Annan's army held the east and west capitals and the Xuanjiang, Tuojiang, and Fuliang rivers with strong defenses, and built fences along the river on the north bank of the river. Duobang Pass also built an earthen city, and the fences of each city were connected, stretching for more than 900 miles. , all sent troops to guard, known as an army of 200 million.They also laid many wooden stakes along the south bank of the Fuliang River, sent all domestic ships between the wooden stakes, and laid wooden stakes at the mouths of all rivers to prevent attacks.

The eastern part of the enemy army is also very heavily guarded, and many elephants are prepared in the city to fight, and they want to hold on to the danger to drag the Ming army.

Faced with such a difficult place to attack, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of death and fear, and quickly conquered these fortresses, and then confronted the Annan army in the Duogang city.

Annan's army set up an elephant formation at this time.Dozens of elephants were lined up in front of the formation, and the Ming army's horses were so frightened that they retreated far away.

The difference in size between horses and elephants is too large, so this battle cannot be fought.

Zhang Fu asked someone to find out and said that elephants are most afraid of lions.

Elephants are afraid of lions, and people are even more afraid.If you drive a herd of lions here, let alone let them eat elephants, they will definitely eat people first.Besides, where to get a lion!

Later, someone came up with an idea. If we really can’t get it, let’s make a fake one.So, someone asked someone to draw a big lion on the cloth, and then put all the cloth on the horse.

When the two armies fought again, these elephants suddenly saw a lion bigger than the lions they had seen before, how could they not be afraid.One by one trembled, ready to run away.

The leading elephant let out a long roar, and the group of elephants no longer listened to Annan's command, and began to retreat.

At this time, the Ming army following behind the fake lion held up the torch again, and fired at the elephant vigorously.

Few animals are not afraid of fire.Therefore, in a burst of roaring sound with fire, the elephant array finally moved.

The elephant moved, not forward, but turned and ran backward.

The elephant was defeated, and Annan's army was not prepared at all.Many people were knocked down by elephants and trampled to death by their hooves.

The Ming army took advantage of the situation and fought fiercely in the rear, driving straight in and conquering the Eastern Capital.

When Li Ji heard that the Ming army had attacked, he burned the palace warehouse and fled to the sea by boat.

Afterwards, Annan's various soldiers and horses took the initiative to surrender in front of Zhang Fu's formation one by one.

Afterwards, they went through the battle of Jiangpu Lai Mountain and killed [-] enemies.

In May of the second year, Li Ji, Li Cheng, his father and son, and Minister Annan who followed were captured in Haikou Mountain.So far, Annan has settled down.

General Zhang Fu wrote, "Annan was originally China's land. The Chen family has been killed and no one can succeed. The local old folks all request that this place be divided into Chinese counties."

Zhu Di is ready to play.Therefore, the Jiaozhi chief envoy was set up in Annan, all commanding the envoy, and divided into seventeen prefectures according to the inspector. 47 states, 150 seven counties, eleven health.

After that, there were many rebellions in Annan, which was changed to the empress division, and countless wars with the Ming army.The people of the two countries have lost their lives and spent countless wealth and food.

When Zhu Zhanji became emperor, it was the second year of Ming Xuande (14').

Zhu Zhanji said to the ministers: "Emperor Taizu once said in the ancestral instruction, 'The Yi and Nanman small countries in the four directions are separated by mountains and seas, and they are located in remote corners. It is not enough for me to dispatch. My descendants must not rely on their own national strength to use troops rashly'... I have repeatedly considered that I want Jiaozhi to become a country of its own like Hongwu, and to be a minister every year to protect one side. What do you think about saving the people from the flames of war?"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he faced the cabinet minister Yang Shiqi and said, "What do you think?"

Yang Shiqi made a long speech. He listed the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Dynasty's approach to Annan and said, "Your Majesty is the parents of the people in the world. How can you care about gains and losses with Jiaozhi and the barbarians!"

That means, it is enough to have me as a big country in the Central Plains, and it doesn't matter if we don't need this small place of Jiaozhi.

Zhu Zhanji didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.

After that, the released Li family rebelled frequently in the country, which cost the Ming army a lot of money.

Zhu Zhanji said to the ministers, "Taizong Zhudi first captured the Li thief and pacified Jiaozhi. He wanted to support the descendants of the Chen family. Today, he wants to inherit the legacy of the late emperor and make the Chinese people safe. I'll think about it."

The ministers talked a lot, some advocated to hold on to Annan and not establish a country, while others advocated giving up and letting him establish a country.

In the end, Zhu Zhanqi listened to the propositions of Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi and allowed Annan to re-establish the country.

After the founding of Annan, it continued to invade the south, and its territory continued to expand. It occupied the entire Champa Kingdom and half of the Chenla Kingdom, and was on the verge of the Gulf of Siam.In 1802 (the seventh year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, the name of the country was changed to Vietnam, and the Qing government also called it Vietnam, but before the founding of New China, the Chinese people still called it Annan.

In order to catch up with the book, this period of Vietnam's history is mentioned here, and many wars are omitted.

That's the end of history, let's continue our Vietnam War.

Thick fog shrouded the surface of the river. Looking down from the top of the mountain, it looked like a steam boiler that had just been opened. The turbid air had filled the valley between the two mountains.

"Captain, there is a river ahead and a cliff below, so I can't go down." Tao Chuan brought a soldier to Wu Jianglong.

Wu Jianglong raised his binoculars and looked across the bank.

On the other side is the border crossing, and the mountains are completely covered in fog.In the two lens tubes of the telescope, except for the white mist, it was still white mist, and even the opposite mountain forest could not be seen.

Wu Jianglong frowned.The fog created conditions for them to cross the border.But now, they are in a dangerous situation. If they can't see the road in front of them clearly, they may fall into the river if they are not careful.

Wu Jianglong put down the binoculars and said to Li Sen beside him, "Instructor, although this place is dangerous, it is the best place for us to cross the river."

While Li Sen was observing the opposite bank in Wu Jianglong, he was also looking at the river with a telescope.Listening to Wu Jianglong talking to him at this time, he put down the binoculars and said, "The location is a bit dangerous, but compared to the enemy, it is still relatively safe. I agree."

Seeing that the trainer had no objection, Wu Jianglong turned to Tao Chuan, "Tao Chuan, take people to the near river for reconnaissance, and find out if there is a place where you can put platoons."

"Yes," Tao Chuan agreed.

Just turning around, Tao Chuan and the soldier disappeared.

Wu Jianglong and Li Sen stood in the jungle on the top of the mountain, discussing countermeasures.

Wu Jianglong said, "Instructor, you are here, let me see how the platoon is doing?"

Li Sen said, "You are still directing here, I'll go and see."

Li Sen retreated from the top of the mountain, and after walking through the jungle for a while, he came to a wide field.The site is already full of felled bamboo and wood.Li Wei was leading a group of soldiers to tie up the bamboo raft.Seeing Li Sen approaching, several soldiers greeted him proactively.

Li Sen waved his hand, and the soldiers continued to work.

In front of the mountain and behind the mountain, there is only one mountain away, but it is like two kinds of heaven and earth.Although there is also fog here, it is not as thick as the front of the mountain. As long as the height is less than three meters, you can see everything, otherwise, the soldiers will not be able to work.

Li Sen came directly to Li Wei, "Li Wei, I've done some piercings."

Li Wei put down his work and looked up to see Li Sen, so he said, "There are four or five."

"Slow down, you have to speed up." Li Sen said.

"Yes," Li Wei said, and turned to the soldiers, "Comrades, hurry up and try to be the tenth before the fog clears."

Why so many? If there are a hundred people, five or six will be enough?

no.This was a decision made by Wu Jianglong and Li Sen after discussing it.

Don't look at the narrowness of the river, but the river is fast.If you want to cross here, there must not be too many people on the bamboo raft.It is required to have speed when crossing the river, and to ensure that no accidents occur to the personnel.There are fewer people riding on it, and even if there is a turnaround, the loss will not be great.It was precisely because of this thought that Li Wei and the others were asked to do more.

At this time, a few soldiers from the third division ran over, "Instructor, the captain asked me to carry the tied rows over a few first."

"Okay, let's lift it!"

The soldiers carried the tied bamboo rafts and ran to the top of the mountain.

Li Sen didn't know what Wu Jianglong was going to do now, so he followed him worriedly.

After Li Sen left, Wu Jianglong had been using binoculars to observe the enemy's situation on the other side.Since he couldn't figure out the enemy's strength on the other side, he planned to send troops there first.

Wu Jianglong descends from the top of the mountain to the riverside.

Tao Chuan's No. [-] unit now serves as the commando of the reconnaissance brigade. As soon as they came to this area, they approached the riverside and prepared for defense.Don't think that you are looking for trouble from the enemy, but be careful when the enemy comes to trouble you.

When Wu Jianglong was about to go down to the river, in order not to let the enemy on the other side find out, he had no choice but to hide his body in the grass, crawling for a while, bending forward for a while.After reaching Tao Chuan, Wu Jianglong asked, "What's the situation on the other side?"

"There seems to be someone on the other side." Tao Chuan whispered to Wu Jianglong.

Wu Jianglong followed the direction of Tao Chuan's finger and looked over slowly, only to see two fires flickering in the opposite jungle.

Wu Jianglong looked at it with binoculars for a while and said, "There is someone. Judging from the motionless situation, it must be a sentinel of the Vietnamese army."

"Then what should we do?" Tao Chuan asked.

"Since there are enemies guarding them, we must kill them first."

Tao Chuan became excited, "You mean, touch the whistle."

"Not only to touch the whistle, but also to kill all the enemies there."

"Okay, then let's go in teams."

"I can't go too much, I can only go to ten people first."

"it is good"

"Go and carry the two bamboo rafts first, and slowly put them into the water, making sure not to make any noise."

"Do not worry!"

Tao Chuan arranged for people to carry the bamboo raft.

After the bamboo raft was lifted, in order not to make any noise, the soldiers tied it with a rope and slipped down the mountain little by little.

Three bamboo rafts were put into the water, and a total of ten fighters went up, including Tao Chuan, which made 11 people.

The river is very fast, and the bamboo rafts are transitional, so we cannot cross the river in a straight line.Even in the past, it will take several miles to drift down.To avoid this problem, after the bamboo raft is launched, this side uses a rope to tie him firmly.As it floats down, add more force from behind so that the person who swings the raft can reduce the resistance.

In order not to make a noise, try not to paddle with anything, but use the pole to withstand the bottom of the river and move forward slowly.This is not enough, in places where the water is shallow, someone needs to push from behind.

With the help of several parties, the bamboo raft quietly rowed towards the opposite bank.

The South Shore, like the North Shore, was completely shrouded in morning mist.There is a bamboo and wood shed near the river.On a big tree next to the shed, there is a soft ladder that can only accommodate one person.At the end of the ladder, there is a shack like a bird's nest.It is estimated that this is the outpost used by the Vietnamese army to observe the opposite bank.

Due to the thick fog, the situation on the opposite bank could not be seen clearly from above. Fortunately, the Vietnamese army above also hid in the shed under the tree.

For more than a year, there has been no fighting here.Even if the vigilance of the Vietnamese army is high, he can't tighten his strings every day and stare at the other side.Besides, this is not a ferry.The reason why the Vietnamese army set up a sentry here is that the water here is relatively shallow to prevent people from smuggling.

In fact, they were not only afraid that people from the north would come over, but also that people from their own side would escape.

By [-], the achievements of China's reforms had gradually emerged.Don't look at the border of China, but the life of the people here is much better than that of the Vietnamese side. Therefore, those Vietnamese who are open-minded begin to yearn for China.Regardless of the fact that the governments are fighting, they have relatives in China. If they vote in China, there is still a possibility that they will be taken in.

However, they wanted to come over, but the Vietnamese government would not allow it.As a result, guards were set up in all places where smuggling was possible.If Vietnam wasn't too poor, they would definitely add a few more wires to places like this.

This outpost has such a purpose.

There are not many people in the outpost, there are five people in total.They eat and live here, and they only change jobs every three months.Therefore, those who guard the border must regard the outpost as their home.

The head of this outpost is called Li Dongping, and he has four soldiers under his command, including him, there are five people in total.

The bright light that Wu Jianglong saw just now came from Li Dongping.

At this time, Li Dongping was holding a cigarette, and after taking a big puff sweetly, he began to puff.The smoke blown out quickly drifted out of the shed without doors and windows, and merged with the thick fog.

Li Dongping looked at the river face with nothing to do.If he continued to read, he would definitely see Tao Chuan and the others coming over.

By coincidence, when Tao Chuan and the others were paddling their raft Zhunde to the shore, the phone in the sentry shed rang.

"Squad leader, the company commander is looking for you." A signal soldier guarding the phone called to Li Dongping.

Li Dongping dared to take the cigarette butt away from his mouth and hurried over.With the left hand pinching the cigarette, the right hand holds the phone.

The call was made by Ruan Chunming, the commander of the third border defense company, "Li Dongping, arrange the outpost and go back to the company for a meeting."

"Yes" Li Dongping put down the phone.

Li Dongping put down the phone with a bright smile on his face.

A Vietnamese soldier approached from the side and said, "Squad leader, did the company commander tell you to go back?"

"Yes!" Li Dongping was still very excited.

"It will be all right, you don't have to scream at night and miss your sister-in-law." The Vietnamese soldier said again.

"***, nonsense, when did I call?" Li Dongping began to pack his things and said unconvinced.

"Haven't screamed yet! It made us all hairy." The Vietnamese soldier who was speaking turned to the others for help, "Do you think so?"

"Nonsense, besides, be careful I'll beat you." Li Dongping said angrily.

"If you dare to beat me up, I'll tell the whole village." The Vietnamese soldier refused to give in at all.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," Li Dongping said, "I'll be leaving right away, talk to anyone who has something to bring.

When he said this, the Vietnamese soldiers in the shed were all busy.Some are happy to open the planks and dig out things from the inside, while others lift the cover on the ground and take out edible food from inside.

Li Dongping smiled when he saw it, "Boys, I usually ask you to give something, but you don't have a big air, so you hide your things here."

When one of the Vietnamese soldiers heard that Le Dong Binh was going back to the village, he hurriedly climbed towards the sentry post on the tree.When the Vietnamese soldier got his things and was about to come down, he looked up and found something unusual on the river bank.

The Vietnamese soldier didn't dare to shout loudly, and quickly jumped down from above.
