But when Chen Tianping received the news that Daming actually revealed his contact with Daming, fear instantly filled his eyes. At this time, he was no longer the grandson of King Annan. He was completely different from an ordinary person.

What a difference.

The identity he was so proud of seemed worthless in the eyes of Ming Dynasty.

"Impossible, how could Ming give up on me? I am the grandson of King Annan. How could Ming legitimately enter Annan without me?" Chen Tianping was so distraught that he smashed all kinds of things in the house all over the floor as if to vent his anger.

Until now, he still refuses to face reality.

Fortunately, the people around him were soberer than him and knew what would happen if the news was known to Li and his son. They quickly pulled him away and persuaded him while fleeing: "Your Majesty, please leave quickly. It's too late. If Li and his son find out,

Once our father and son react, we will never be able to leave again."

Hearing the names of Li and his son, Chen Tianping was so frightened that he shivered all over. He said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, yes, go quickly, go quickly."??.??

The Li family and his son soon arrived at Chen Tianping. Seeing that he had escaped, they ordered the massacre of the place without hesitation and continued to pursue him.

After Chen Tianping escaped, he was unwilling to hide here and there. He simply recruited troops and wanted to make a comeback. However, he had the intention, but he did not have the ability. He was destroyed by the Li family and his son, and they fled in all directions.

He himself had to flee into the mountains, forests and valleys, and barely escaped the pursuit of the Li family and his son.

At this time, Chen Tianping had time to regret. If he had not been greedy and directly agreed to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, he would have cooperated internally and externally to kill the rebellious Li clan. Although he could not stay in Annan and become the king, he could move to Annan.

It would be better to go to the Ming Dynasty than to have people flee and be killed now.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. No matter how unwilling Chen Tianping was, everything was irreversible.

This time, neither the Chen family nor the Li family were ready. Both sides were forced to take action in a hurry due to the news released by Han Du. Chen Tianping fled all the way, causing a huge sensation. In addition, he

Along the way, they recruited troops and horses to fight back against the Li clan. This series of turbulence made Annan people panic.

When the Li family was chasing Chen Tianping, they found that the Ming army made no movement at all, as if they didn't care about Chen Tianping's life or death at all. This made Li and his son think that the Ming army was not here for Chen Tianping at all.

of.

Therefore, the Li family and his son had nothing to do except putting some troops in front to block the Ming army. Now that the Li family and his son were busy suppressing the civil strife in Annan and wiping out the remnants of the Chen family, how could they have the energy to control the Ming army?

?As long as the Ming army remains motionless, they will be thankful.

A bloody massacre began to spread in Annan. In addition to the Chen family, those who had quarreled with the Chen family in the past were also found by the Li family and their sons and liquidated one by one.

A bloody storm hangs over the heads of the Annan people.

At this moment, the Ming army moved!

Zhu Ping was not idle these days. He first wrote a letter to his father and explained Annan's situation. Later, without Lao Zhu's consent, he directly sent an order to Mu Ying, who was guarding Yunnan, to let him

Send troops from Yunnan to attack Annan in order to form a pincer attack with yourself.

After receiving Zhu Xi's order, Mu Ying did not hesitate to lead an army of 50,000 to raid Annan directly from Yunnan. Mu Ying left Mengzi and entered Annan. Since the Li family and his son had to mobilize troops to pursue the Chen family,

They also had to be on guard against the Ming army at Anping Port, so that even though they were focusing all their attention on Anping Port, they did not have the slightest defense against Yunnan.

Mu Ying was worthy of being a famous general of his generation, and he understood the principle of attacking the heart first. After entering the territory of Annan, he ordered people to write down the twenty crimes of the Li family and his son first, carve them on wooden plaques, and put them down the river. Annan soldiers and civilians saw them.

After arriving at Bangwen, people's hearts were scattered. Muying's army was unstoppable all the way and did not even encounter any decent resistance.

When Li and his son received the news that the Ming Dynasty sent troops from Yunnan to attack Annan, they immediately panicked. Only then did they realize that the Ming army wanted to attack from both sides.

Just as Li and his son expected, the Ming army in Anping Port moved.

Han Du led 30,000 naval troops, and King Qin led six soldiers from the palace.

The guards all rushed straight to Annan.

This move was no longer the ferocious firearm that Li and his son were familiar with. Han Du directly used cannons to open the way. No matter whether it was military formations or passes along the way, under the bombardment of the cannons, the city gates that Annan was proud of were as fragile as a layer of tissue paper.

, was easily pierced.

Mu Ying advanced all the way through the pass and marched forward bravely, defeated Annan's ambush near Qin Station, captured Xinfu, and then arrived at Baihe River.

The Li family and his son did not expect that the Ming army would advance at such a rapid rate. They were so frightened that they poured out all Annan's troops, claiming to be more than two million strong. Following the four natural dangers of the Xuanjiang, Taojiang, Tuojiang and Fuliangjiang rivers, they cut down trees and built strongholds to defend.

Stretching for more than 900 miles, wooden piles were set up along the river, and all domestic ships were ordered to be arranged in the piles. Cross-timbers were placed at all river mouths to strictly guard against Ming army attacks.

Han Du and Zhu Xi's army entered the Furiang River. They first ordered Zhu Rong to attack the mouth of the Jialin River and then advanced to Duobang Pass. Mu Ying's army also marched along the north bank of the Tao River, forming a pincer attack with Zhu Xi from the north and south.

Solidarity.

The Li family and his son gathered a large number of troops in Dobang City in an attempt to resist stubbornly.

Duobang City is high and the water is deep. The city wall alone is three feet high. It was built in a steep place. There are many ditches under the city, and the ditches are densely covered with bamboo thorns. Don't underestimate these bamboo thorns. Once a person falls,

, most likely they will be stabbed to the core. Even if they are not dead, the bamboo thorns are deeply embedded in the flesh, and just imagining it is enough to make people's hair stand on end. Even if the bamboo thorns are removed, it is impossible to clean the burrs in the body.

, they can only wait to die, and they will still be tortured to death.

There are holes dug everywhere outside the trench, and outside it is the moat. This moat is connected to the river, and the water depth is unknown. It is very dangerous and tightly guarded.

The city of Annan is very ordinary, and the city wall is not very high at all. In the past when Handu encountered it, they would directly bombard it with a round of artillery, and the city wall could not hold on and was blown out of the gap. The Ming army took advantage of the situation and easily defeated it.

Annan's army was defeated.

However, this Duobang City was a fortified city. Even compared with the Ming Dynasty's fortified city, it was probably no less generous. Han Du came to the city and opened fire on the city as usual, but unfortunately the effect was far less than before.

After two rounds of bombing, Han Du waved his hand and stopped the attack. He looked at the Duobang City in front of him and said, "I'm afraid this city is what the Annan people rely on. If this city is

If it is broken, Annan will have no more dangerous points to defend, and we will be able to enter the royal capital with overwhelming force."

Zhu Ming also nodded in agreement, drew out his sword without hesitation, pointed to the sky and shouted: "A man has made a great contribution today. If you can reach this city first, I will not hesitate to reward you and kill you!"

"kill"

Duobang City is indeed a fortified city that the Li family has high hopes for. Under the continuous attacks of tens of thousands of Ming troops, they fought fiercely for a day. Although the Ming army scaled the city wall several times, they were all blocked by the Annan people.

Come back.

As night fell, the two armies had to take a break and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

The brave general Zhu Rong under Zhu Xi's command carefully selected thousands of men who dared to die, and took advantage of the darkness to cross the trenches and quietly climb up the city wall. The Annan people did not expect that the Ming army would be so desperate and did not even give them a chance to breathe.

, they directly attacked at night. Caught off guard, the Ming army scaled the city wall again. The Annan soldiers were caught off guard and retreated to the city walls in defeat.

The Ming army took the opportunity to open the city gate, and the Ming army outside the city entered the city. But even so, the Li family refused to give up, and drove the elephants out of the battle, fighting to the death with the Ming army in the city. In the fierce street fighting, due to the

The elephants are so big that two or three elephants can block the streets. Their huge bodies rush directly towards the Ming army, unstoppable. The elephants are covered with heavy armor on their heads. Even with the sharpness of the revolver, they can't stop it.

Unable to withstand the charge of an elephant.

The Ming army was unable to do anything about the elephant formation for a while, and was almost forced to the city gate step by step.

At this time, Han Du arrived just in time. When he saw this scene, he immediately ordered: "Come here, fire."

"Master Marquis, there are brothers in front of you, how can you fire?"

Han Du did not

When I had time to pay attention to him, I shouted loudly: "I didn't ask you to aim forward, all of you pointed your guns in the air and fired!"

Everyone was very confused about Han Du's order. How to kill the enemy with the cannon pointed in the air? However, they still obeyed Han Du's order and immediately pointed the cannon in the air and fired directly.

"Boom~boom~boom"

When the first roar of the cannon came out, the Ming army soldiers in front seemed to be swept by an invisible wave. Everyone was startled, and they all shrank their necks in shock.

Everyone was cursing in their hearts: "Damn it, I'm fighting to the death in the front, but which bastard is firing the cannon from behind? Can the cannon be fired at this time? I wonder if I will be the first to be hit by the cannon?"

The Ming army was frightened, and the elephants in front were even more frightened. In the stunned eyes of the Ming army, they saw the elephants neighing, and then all turned around and rushed towards the Annan people.

The Annan soldiers, who had relied on the elephant to gain the upper hand just now, were suddenly frightened and turned pale and bloodless.

"Ah~"

Bursts of screams suddenly sounded, and countless Annan soldiers were trampled into pulp by the crazed elephants.

Seeing that the situation was over, the Li family and his son immediately fled from the opposite side. The Ming army pursued them all the way to Yuanshan, burned all the wooden fences on the riverside, and captured countless prisoners. After two days and one night of fierce fighting, they finally captured the fortified Doubang City.

Once Duobang City was defeated, the Annan people no longer had any danger to defend. Within half a month, Han Du and Zhu Ping led their troops to attack the East and West counties of Annan respectively.

Faced with such an aggressive and plundering offensive, Annan officials and people suffered a nervous breakdown. Coupled with the rebellious behavior of the Li family and his son, people were heartbroken. Elderly soldiers and civilians in Annan prefectures and counties donated money and materials to the Ming army. Zhu Ping immediately took this opportunity to meet with officials and people.

To appease those who surrendered, he sent his generals to continue to attack the city and seize the territory. Under the overwhelming power of the Ming Dynasty, many officials and people saw the situation clearly, and tens of thousands of people came to surrender to Zhu Xi every day.

Seeing how powerful the Ming army was, Li's father and his son wanted to summon a large army to fight again, but they themselves didn't think they could defeat the Ming army. The battle in Duobang City really scared their courage. They wanted to escape.

And he couldn't bear to part with the inheritance he had just acquired, and he was at a loss.

In the end, Li and his son were determined to burn down the palace, and then retreated with the remaining defeated soldiers.

The Ming army advanced by land and water, conquered the villages of Chijiang, trapped Mei, Wanjie, and Pulai, and beheaded more than 37,000 people. Annan general Hu Du gathered the navy to guard the dangerous Pantan River, and Han Du ordered the navy to attack. During the battle

Under the intensive gunfire from the ship, Hu Duju's ship was destroyed in an instant and everyone was killed. Han Du captured all the ships under his command.

Dongchao, Liangjiang prefectures, pacified.

The two armies of the Ming army merged into one. Under the leadership of Zhu Ping, the Marquis of Xiping Muying and the Marquis of Zhenhai Han Du were on the left and right.

This was the first time Han Du saw Mu Ying. His eyebrows were straight and pointed, which left a deep impression on Han Du. To Han Du's surprise, when Mu Ying saw him, she didn't feel strange at all.

After hearing Zhu Ping's introduction, he proactively nodded to Han Du.

This surprised Han Du. Logically speaking, Mu Ying's qualifications were much older than his own, so she should take the initiative to salute him.

"Han Du, I would like to pay my respects to the Marquis of Xiping." Han Du, full of doubts, took the initiative to pay homage to Mu Ying.
