Annan's 100,000-strong army fought a decisive battle with the rebels in Longxing. However, at the beginning of the war, the rebels heard the sound of exploding beans like a nightmare.
As the horrific memories came to mind, Annan's 100,000-strong army collapsed in an instant.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and a hundred thousand troops trampled on each other in an instant, killing countless people.
Zhao Ran was unwilling to fail like this and immediately killed two soldiers in an attempt to stop the rout.
But in front of a hundred thousand defeated troops, an individual's power is almost negligible, and even because he stood in front of the deserters, he directly attracted the deserters to draw their swords.
Especially after killing two defeated soldiers, several deserters who were close to the two men suddenly had red eyes.
Even though there was their coach in front of them, Zhao Ran, the first-rank official of Annan Kingdom and the Minister of War, he didn't care, swarmed up and hacked Zhao Ran to death.
Annan's army, which was already in chaos, now lost its coach and became even more chaotic.
Everyone was scrambling to flee backwards, and anyone who stood in the way of their retreat, whether they were friendly troops or robes, would be killed.
Now, they were as if they were being chased by a ferocious beast. They were no match for this ferocious beast, but they only needed to run faster than Pao Ze to survive.
At this moment, the leader of the rebels did not expect that such a situation would occur, but he was stunned for only three seconds before suddenly yelling:
"Chase me, don't let anyone go!"
Yes, what the rebel leader shouted angrily was in Chinese.
If Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of this rebel leader at this moment, he would definitely be shocked, because this person is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di!
In fact, Zhu Di had already entered the territory of Annan Kingdom, but after being ordered by Li Jin to temporarily enter Haicheng Port by sea, he temporarily lurked.
The Ming army who followed Zhu Di and sneaked into Haisheng Port included 300 elite Ming soldiers.
A month ago, they transformed into various businessmen and mingled with all walks of life in Haisheng Port, waiting for Li Jin's orders.
Subsequently, Hu Jiyou was defeated in Qiujiang, and Annan officials raided the local people. Naturally, Zhu Di and others were not spared.
However, this also deepened Zhu Di's relationship with the local people. It was not until Li Jin received the 10 million taels of silver sent by Hu Jiya that he ordered Zhu Di to start a rebellion.
Zhu Di decisively contacted the Ming army who entered Haisheng Port together, captured the city lord's palace in Haicheng Port late at night, and killed the leader of Haisheng Port on the spot.
Subsequently, Zhu Di opened a warehouse to release grain, coerced the people of Annan, attacked the city, tried officials, and mobilized the people's enthusiasm for rebellion.
At this time, Lan Yu also led his army to Haisheng Port. After careful disguise, Zhu Di already had 20,000 elite marines and 200,000 Annan rebels in his team. The mighty march north.
In fact, with Zhu Di's marching speed, he could reach Hanoi before Zhao Ran.
However, in order to defeat Zhao Ran's 100,000 troops head-on, Zhu Di deliberately slowed down his marching speed. He was afraid that Zhao Ran would not dare to come and fight him.
Obviously, Zhu Di's tactics were very effective. Zhao Ran looked down upon the so-called peasant army and pounced on them blankly.
Unfortunately, in front of the elite Marine Corps, Zhao Ran had no choice but to die.
Seeing the Annan soldiers fleeing like crazy, Zhu Di directly ordered the entire army to attack. At this time, there was no need to worry about the formation.
The enemy troops are already in disarray. At this time, we should use chaos to disrupt them.
Although these rebels are a mob, they are more fierce than the last when fighting against the wind. After all, they are beating up drowned dogs, and these people have long been accustomed to it.
As the rebels pursued, more and more Annan soldiers were captured. Until dark, the rebels had captured nearly 50,000 Annan soldiers.
Zhu Di withdrew his troops back to camp with satisfaction. Now Annan's last combat-effective army had been destroyed in his own hands.
Next, he will go straight to Huanglong, catch all the royal children and dignitaries in Hanoi City, completely destroy the Annan elite, and realize the beheading operation mentioned by Li Jin.
...
When the news that Zhao Ran's entire army was annihilated reached Hu Jiyou's ears, he couldn't believe his ears.
You know, in order to put down the rebellion this time, Hu Ji Yao suppressed all his base, a hundred thousand elites, which were the basis for Hu Ji Yao's dominance.
But now, in less than ten days, one hundred thousand troops were wiped out in the blink of an eye, which was really unbearable for Hu Ji-yao.
"Say, how could this happen? Where is Zhao Ran? Where did he die??"
Hu Jiyou roared angrily and stared at the general who had escaped with blood-red eyes.
The general was now disgraced and covered in mud, and said sadly:
"Master Zhao, he...he died in the battle!"
Hu Ji Yao didn't expect that Zhao Ran actually died in the battle. He couldn't stand firmly and almost stumbled down. Fortunately, the officials on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands and hurriedly helped Hu Ji Yao up.
Hu Ji Ya stretched out his fingers tremblingly and asked with grief:
"Tell me the whole story of this battle in detail. I want to know why an elite army of 100,000 was wiped out by a group of rabble!"
The general immediately sent Zhao Ran all the way south to block the rebels, and then told Hu Jiya the details of the fight to the death with the rebels.
It can be said that everything went smoothly until the moment the Ming army appeared, and the 100,000-strong army collapsed in an instant. This news was simply unacceptable to Hu Jima.
"The Ming Army, the Ming Army again."
"Why did the Ming army appear there? They had clearly promised the truth to withdraw their troops, but they started a rebellion in the south. It is extremely shameless!!"
"The Ming Dynasty is not worthy of becoming a sovereign state at all. It betrays its trust and plunders other countries. It is shameless and extremely shameless!!"
"In this life, I will be at odds with the Ming Dynasty. Either you die or I die!! Pfft..."
The more Hu Jiya talked, the more excited he became. In the end, he even spurted out a mouthful of reverse blood. His heart had been attacked by the blood of Daming Qi.
"Prime Minister!!"
"Master Xiangguo!! Call the doctor quickly!!"
Hu Jiya fell slowly, which frightened the civil servants around him. They cried and scrambled, and some even went out of the camp to call the doctor.
However, there are still some people with wandering eyes, and they are already thinking about how to join Ming's camp as soon as possible.
After all, Annan's army has been destroyed, and the people have been made miserable by the imperial court. With neither the support of the people nor the support of the army, it is only a matter of time before the Annan imperial court will perish.
If you don't run away at this time, will you sink with Annan's broken ship?
Hu Jisao opened his eyes leisurely despite everyone's calls. He just couldn't think about it for a moment and was so angry that he fainted.
Now that he woke up, Hu Jisao immediately began to think about his retreat.
After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Jima finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Pack your bags immediately, let's go west and seek refuge in Siam."
"hiss!!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as Hu Jima finished speaking, there were gasps in the venue.
Since ancient times, the countries in Southeast Asia have not been very harmonious with each other, especially Annan and Siam.
Just two years ago, Annan still relied on the strong to bully the weak, relying on his own strength to seize two cities from Siam.
Now that I'm at the end of my rope, I actually want to flee to Siam. Wouldn't that be like jumping from one pit to another hell?
"Lord Xiangguo, this is absolutely impossible!!"
An elderly official with gray hair and over 60 years old opened his mouth to dissuade him:
"We have a feud with Siam. If we fall into their hands, I'm afraid our fate will be worse than falling into the hands of Ming Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty is also our suzerain country after all. It's because we robbed their merchant ships that they became so angry. As long as we sincerely admit our mistakes, we will definitely get the Ming Dynasty's forgiveness."
"But the Siamese are all barbarians, and they will never let us go. Please, Sir, please think again!"
"My lord, please think twice!!"
The words of this old official immediately aroused the resonance of everyone. Everyone knew that Siam could not go. Going there would definitely be a narrow escape.
Just when everyone knelt down and begged Hu Jiya, Hu Jiya directly pulled out his sword and chopped off the old official's head with one blow.
"Who else wants to stay here?"
Hu Ji Yao clenched the sword in his hand tightly, and blood dripped on the deck. Under his feet was the old official's head.
Unlike Baiguan, others could surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but it was absolutely impossible for Hu Ji Yao.
Because he is a powerful official, once Chen Zheping falls into the hands of Ming Dynasty, he believes that Chen Zheping will definitely report him to Ming Dynasty, and then he will fall into the trap.
In this case, he had only one way to go west. After all, the roads to the north and south were blocked, so he could only go to the King of Siam.
Seeing Hu Ji Yao's murderous intention, at this time, all the civil and military officials were silent, and no one dared to speak out.
The living example of the old official is right in front of him, and no one dares to touch Hu Jiya's bad luck at this time.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, one of Hu Jima's personal guards suddenly broke in, with a look of fear and panic on his face.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, something bad has happened. The Ming army has crossed the river."
"What?"
In the room where the drop of a needle could be heard, waves of disbelieving exclamations once again sounded.
"The Ming army had no navy, so how could they dare to cross the river? What do I, the Annan navy, do for a living?"
Hu Jiyou was shocked and angry, knowing that the only one he could rely on now was the Navy.
Now the Ming army actually crossed the river blatantly in front of the navy, which made Hu Jiya furious.
But the next words from the personal guard sent him completely into the abyss.
