711 A quick decision
I heard Emperor Chongzhen say with a little disdain: "A group of mobs, fight if they want to fight! How could I retreat and let my people suffer from military disasters?"
Speaking of this, he shouted loudly without waiting for the generals below to say anything, "Come on, pass on my will, end the training, and prepare for war!"
"The last general follows the order!" When the generals heard that the emperor had made up their minds, they did not persuade him to fight. Not to mention that the emperor was invincible, even if he did not have the emperor, he would never be afraid.
The reason why I persuaded me just now was just based on the art of war and just talking about the matter.
Then, the Ming army began to move, and all the troops that were rotating for rainforest training retreated and began to rest and prepare for war. The surrounding people also began to retreat to the city to avoid being affected.
During this preparation process, Emperor Chongzhen's words inevitably spread.
After hearing this, the people of Lin'an Prefecture couldn't help but feel more affection for the emperor: the enemy is invading, and the emperor is at the forefront! How many such emperors have been there since ancient times?
As time passed slowly, the Annan Allied Forces rushed to Lin'an Prefecture in a mighty way. The Ming army had long since sent back the news, and the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger. However, unlike in the past, the people of Lin'an Prefecture were in a calm mood and had no panic at all.
…………
On the side of the Annan Allied Army, Zheng Jian heard that the Emperor of Ming had been staying in Lin'an Prefecture and did not retreat deep into Yunnan Province. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The scouts he sent also reported what the Emperor of Ming Dynasty said. After hearing this, Zheng Jian couldn't help laughing and said, "You are willing to act, and you are willing to act!"
However, after hearing this, Ruan Phuket frowned and said, "Regardingly speaking, with the age of the Ming emperor and his experience, it is impossible to be so naive, and he will act irritating, right?"
Speaking of this, he looked up at Zheng Yue and said, "Unless..."
Before he finished speaking, his face looked a little ugly.
When Zheng Jian saw this, the smile on his face disappeared, and then he said, "Unless the Ming emperor is absolutely sure to win?"
After reaching this conclusion, the big tent suddenly became very quiet. Everyone lost the mood to speak. They looked at each other and looked at each other with heavy faces.
After a while, Zheng Jian greeted the scouts over there and said, "Can reinforcements arrive in the Ming army?"
To be honest, Zheng Yan would rather get a positive answer, so that he could have a clear mind and know what the Emperor of Ming relies on to be sure. But now, the military strength has not increased. Does the Emperor of Ming really think that just with his 30,000 troops, he would definitely win the Annan coalition?
They can't get the exact answer, so they have to take one step at a time. At least for now, the situation is not moving in a worse direction.
After a few days, the Annan Allied Forces gathered together and finally approached the Lin'an Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, the scout war between both sides started first.
This time, the Ming army was not willing to fight at night, and they would not attack even if they encountered the blocking of the scouts of Annan. They just guaranteed that the scouts of Annan would not go deep into Lin'an Prefecture.
In the end, the Annan Alliance Army on the side of Hekou City did not have the 230,000 troops to set out, because the food roads along the way must also be protected by troops, which is the disadvantage of taking the initiative. Those who can reach Hekou City and directly face the Ming army will only be about 170,000. Of course, it is said that it is 500,000.
Outside this Hekou City is a plain, a rare open land, a river flows through Hekou City and flows along the foot of the mountain to Annan.
The Annan Alliance Army was naturally clearly divided. The front and back armies were the headquarters of Zhengzhou, which was directly opposite the east gate of Hekou City. On the left side of the Zheng army, it was the headquarters of Nguyen Phuc Bing; on the right side of the Zheng army, it was the headquarters of Mo Jingyu. As for the Dutch and the Portuguese, they were stationed with their allies respectively.
As soon as the army arrived, while setting up camp, the Allied commander naturally had to observe the formation.
In fact, Hekou City cannot be called a city at all. It can only be said to be a larger village. The city wall is low, so it can only be guarded against bandits.
The Ming army relied on villages to camp, resisted deer, trenches, artillery, pits, women's walls, etc., and all kinds of defensive measures were included...
After looking at it for a while, Zheng Jian had to admit the elite of the Ming army and frowned and said, "This Ming army cannot be underestimated!"
"Yes!" Ruan Phoenix heard this, his face was a little heavy, and he nodded and agreed, "When you look at the camp, you will know that this Ming army is worthy of being the elite Ming Dynasty who destroyed Donggo!"
On the other side, Mo Jingyu turned his head to look at the army on his side. The mountains and fields were everywhere, and the Annan army was everywhere; people shouted and horses neighed, and the neighing of war elephants, which could be said to be very spectacular.
Looking back at Hekou City, not only the city walls are short, but the number of Ming troops is really not large, and it is far from comparable to the Annan Alliance.
After watching this for a while, Mo Jingyu said, "Even if the Ming army is elite, if one of them is replaced by three, the Ming army will definitely be defeated."
When Ruan Phuket heard this, he turned to look at him and sneered "hehe".
When he heard this, Mo Jingyu's face suddenly turned red and he immediately said angrily: "What do you know about the yellow-haired boy? Is this a boost of morale or not?"
"Hmm? Who do you think is the yellow-haired boy?" When Ruan Phoenix heard this, she immediately stared at Mo Jingyu with a cold face.
The generals behind him also glared at Mo Jingyu.
There were also generals behind Mo Jingyu, but there were obviously not as many as the other side. But no matter what, he could not weaken his voice, so he also glared at the other side.
Seeing this, Zheng Jian was about to say something when he suddenly heard a cannon.
So, he immediately heard the sound and saw that the gate of the Ming army camp was wide open. Teams of Ming soldiers came out one after another and began to gather at the entrance of the camp. It seemed that it was about to prepare for war.
"Is this going to start the war so soon when our army has just arrived?" Zheng Jian couldn't help but speak.
Ruan Phuc was no longer concerned about Mo Jingyu's side. He stared at the more and more Ming troops gathering, but a hint of ease appeared on his face: "Our army's rations are too long and the transportation is inconvenient, so we have to fight and decide quickly. This is the best move of the Ming emperor!"
Mo Jingyu didn't care about the fighting with the young boy, and stared at Ming Jun in the distance and said, "He wants to fight, and the battle is over there. What's the king afraid of him!"
In the Netherlands and Portugal, they have too few people and have language barriers, so they need to translate before they can know. Therefore, it is basically not that they do not speak when they have to speak.
Zheng Jian looked around and was always thinking about what the Emperor of Ming was relying on. Seeing that his face was serious, he immediately ordered loudly: "Transfer the order of the leader of the alliance, and all the troops gather to fight!"
As Nguyen Phuket said, quick battle and quick decision are the best for the Annan Allied Army. Although the army has just arrived, it will be a little tired. But this fatigue is actually limited.
When you are almost here, the marching speed will naturally slow down. No one will be so stupid that the army will reach the enemy exhausted.
So, after the order of the leader of the Annan Alliance was passed, the sound of "Wuwuwu" horns continued to sound. The soldiers of the Annan army, under the shouts of their officers, also put down their plans and lined up to fight.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the Ming army had about 20,000 troops out of the camp, just as before, the chariots and camps were in front, infantry and cavalry were behind, and the cavalry had already covered the lineup.
On the other hand, except for the front-line troops, the other troops are still in a mess.
It can also be seen from this that some of the Zheng and Ruan tribes have relatively elite troops, and they can be arranged according to military orders in a short period of time. But most of their troops can only make up the numbers. They may be able to fight with ordinary troops, but it is probably difficult to fight against elite troops.
As for Mo Jingyu, whether it was Ruan Phoenix or Zheng Ye, they just glanced at the messy scene and stopped paying attention. In fact, they really didn't pay much attention to Mo Jingyu's 20,000 troops.
Now in their hearts, they were once again shocked by the movements of the Ming army.
The Ming army could see at a glance that although there were only 20,000 troops, they were divided into many troops and coordinated with each other, just like a whole. This level of elite strength was unprecedented.
This time, Zheng Jian and Ruan Phoenix looked back at the number of troops on their side, which gave them courage. Then they began to command their own subordinates and prepared to fight the Ming army.
The wind blew the flags, and the Ming army had occasional neighing sounds of war horses, and there was no sound other than that.
On the Annan Allied Forces, there was no noise, and it still didn't change much after a long time.
When Anders saw this, he couldn't help but believe that it was not unreasonable that the Emperor of Ming was so strong. Although there were many Allied troops in Annan in this battle, the possibility of winning was still small. What's more, the Emperor of Ming wanted to redeem his own merits and make contributions on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, he was depressed again. How did he contact himself on the Allied Army and the Emperor of Ming? If he didn't contact him well, how could he atone for his sins when he turned around?
Time passed slowly, and the Ming army was just arrayed and showed no sign of taking the initiative to attack.
Finally, the Annan Allied Army finally completed the formation. Every Annan army soldier held the weapons in his hands, held his breath, and prepared to fight according to orders.
However, at this moment, I could see a fast horse from the gate of the camp and ran around the military formation, as if conveying some military orders.
Zheng Yan, Ruan Phuket and others couldn't help but focus their attention on the place where the imperial flag that had just appeared on the top of Hekou City. The Emperor of Ming must be there. Did he not help but send an order to attack?
Chapter completed!
