Seeing the silence in the Ming army camp ahead, without the slightest movement, Hu Jima was simply surprised.
"Ha ha…"
Hu Jiyou couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, the deputy general who was accompanying him couldn't help but asked:
"Prime Minister, why are you so happy?"
Hu Jiya stopped laughing, raised his finger and pointed to the Ming army camp in front, and said:
"Look, the Ming army camp is completely silent at this time. Those Ming soldiers must have been tortured by the disease and are in pain. It has been a few days now. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are lingering on their last breath, haha..."
Saying this, Hu Ji Yao smiled wildly again.
When the deputy general heard this, he suddenly understood, and then said happily:
"If this is the case, then our attack will definitely win!"
At this point, he did not forget to flatter him and said:
"Congratulations, Prime Minister, for you to personally lead the troops, it is a perfect time, place and people!"
"Then, when will we attack?"
Hu Jiya thought that this was because the Ming army had not taken any precautions in advance. He was overjoyed and felt that the battle would be won. Without stopping, Hu Jiya immediately ordered:
"Now, let's attack with all our strength!"
The Annan Army obeyed the order. The sky was already slightly bright at this time. With these bright lights, the Annan Army quickly launched an attack towards the Ming Army camp.
Looking at the grand scene in front of him, the joy on Hu Jiyou's face became even greater, and his eyes even had a proud look of victory.
Just when Annan's army was rushing forward like a tide, the situation suddenly changed.
I saw that the Ming army camp, which was originally silent, suddenly heard a loud noise after Annan's army rushed in, and then a sound of mountain roaring and tsunami sounded around the camp.
"There's an ambush!! There's an ambush, we've all fallen into the trap!!"
What Hu Jisao didn't expect was that the Ming army had already set up an ambush and was waiting for him.
I saw a large number of arrows suddenly appearing on both sides of the road heading towards the Ming Army camp. Those arrows were like locusts passing through the border, shooting straight at the face of Annan Army.
But in an instant, without waiting for a reaction, the screams of the Annan Army could be heard endlessly, and a large number of soldiers were shot to death by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Be careful of ambush!"
Someone in Annan's team suddenly shouted loudly.
All the Annan Army quickly dispersed, and for a moment, the Annan Army was panicked.
Immediately afterwards, countless Ming troops appeared on both sides of the road. They all held weapons in their hands and attacked the Annan Army in the middle of the road.
When Hu Jisao behind him saw this, he was immediately frightened. Being suddenly ambushed and attacked, Annan's army was also extremely frightened. For a moment, it was like losing the leader of the team, and they hid in all directions.
On the Ming army's side, Li Jin personally led the troops and took advantage of the chaos of Annan's army to immediately order the attack to continue.
When Hu Jisao saw Li Jin and a group of Ming troops, the shock on his face suddenly turned calm, and there was even a hint of scarlet in his eyes.
"Prime Minister, I didn't expect these Ming troops to have the strength to ambush us!"
The deputy general looked at the Ming army opposite and said with great anger.
Hu Jiya stared at the Ming army opposite and said:
"What else can they do besides ambush us? They are currently weak and unable to defeat us."
"But since they dare to come, why not just die here!"
After speaking, Hu Jisao shouted loudly towards Annan Army:
"There is no need to panic. These Ming soldiers are all old, weak, sick and disabled who have been infected with the plague."
"They are just a bunch of lambs left to be slaughtered by you. Use the morale of your Annan brothers and kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
"You will become the most memorable army in the history of Annan!"
Hu Jima's eyes swept over the faces of Annan's soldiers one by one, and saw that their frightened faces gradually became calmer after hearing his words.
Hu Jiyou couldn't help but feel a little more proud. Now these ambushes are just a trick of the Ming army. Taking them down is just a trivial matter for the Annan soldiers.
Thinking of this, Hu Ji Yao's expression became more and more confident.
The battle was still going on. Under Hu Jiya's encouragement, the morale of the Annan Army instantly rose a lot. But even so, against the team led by Li Jin and Fu Youde, the Annan Army struggled a lot over time. .
The war situation intensified. What Hu Jisao did not expect was that the Ming army's combat effectiveness was so powerful. Even though they dragged their sick and weak bodies, Annan's 150,000-strong army failed to capture the Ming army.
Fu Youde held weapons and fought bloody battles, followed by the equally brave and invincible Ming army. The moment he faced the Annan army, the Ming army looked vicious and his men killed decisively, which made the Annan soldiers tremble and couldn't help but retreat. .
The deputy general's armor was stained with a lot of blood, and his right arm was slashed with a knife. He moved to Hu Ji Yao's side with his weapon in hand and said in a trembling voice:
"Prime Minister...Prime Minister, this Ming army doesn't look like it has the plague. This...we are not necessarily their opponents."
Hu Jisao looked at the battle, and his face lost the initial arrogance. The more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. After seeing the Annan soldiers who suffered countless casualties, his face turned into fear.
The deputy general also looked at the battle situation at this time and couldn't help shaking his legs and said:
"Prime Minister, why don't we... let's retreat first?"
"If the fight continues, we probably won't be able to leave!"
At this time, Hu Jisao was convinced that he had been deceived by the pretty boy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army was not infected with the plague, they were still as powerful, and the Annan army was not their opponent at all.
"retreat--"
Hu Jiyou gave the order and retreated hastily with the remaining Annan army.
When Li Jin saw this, he immediately ordered loudly:
"They want to retreat, pursue them with all their strength, and don't let anyone go!"
The Annan Army kept retreating, and the Ming Army kept chasing forward. In this way, the Ming Army bit the Annan Army and refused to let go.
Being chased desperately from behind, Hu Jisao felt that his life had already traveled a long circle in front of the Lord of Hell's door, and his heart could not stop beating.
"Prime Minister, go quickly——"
Hu Jisao was protected by his confidants all the way, and then he broke out of the Ming army's encirclement. However, his confidant, Zhao Daqian, the Minister of War, was captured by Li Jin.
In this battle, Annan's 150,000-strong army lost more than half, leaving less than 100,000 men. The Ming army won a complete victory.
The Shiqiu River was full of floating corpses, and the riverside was filled with gurgling blood. Even the river was red. The scene was very tragic.
Even a few years later, intermittent corpses can often be salvaged from Qiujiang River, so the people of Annan dare not fish here.
