Chapter 362: Occupying Hanoi

In the eighth year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to attack Annan. Copy the website and visit&1t;/p>

Gao Bangzuo had already communicated with the Navy Governor Zhang Yan. The Navy cooperated with the 6th Army to attack Annan at any time. When they received the imperial edict, they immediately attacked Annan.&1t;/p>

This attack was divided into two routes, north and south. The main force of the north route was 20,000 naval teams. They rode directly from the sea and were taken by warships and were attacked by Annan, and launched an attack on Bei'annan, controlled by the Zheng family.&1t;/p>

The South Road Army was two infantry divisions trained by the 6th Army to adapt to the tropical rainforest climate. These two infantry divisions directly attacked southern Annan from Chameng Kingdom.&1t;/p>

Chameng Kingdom in this era has not been completely annexed by Annan, and the borders in southern Annan have expanded to the Guiren area of ​​Vietnam in later generations.&1t;/p>

Chameng Kingdom was invaded by Vietnam in the past dynasties, and now it is a small country and weak people. After the Ming Dynasty intervened in the Indochina Peninsula, it immediately surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. It was very respectful and obedient and responded to the Ming Dynasty's commercial expansion requirements, just to ensure safety.&1t;/p>

The purpose of the King of Chameng Kingdom has also been achieved. Now, Chameng Kingdom is indeed very safe under the protection of the Ming Dynasty. It is basically impossible for Annan to continue to expand south, because this time the Ming Dynasty has to take the initiative to cause trouble for Annan.&1t;/p>

The Ming army on the northern route took a warship, and under the cover of gunboats, they easily completed the 6th battle in the Haipang Port of Vietnam in later generations. The Annan people had no reliable shore defense guns. Under the bombardment of the Ming Navy's gunboats, the infantry successfully climbed the 6th beach, and then occupied the entire port, and then advanced towards Hanoi.&1t;/p>

The Zheng Group, which ruled the north and south of the state, was shocked when it received the news. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty really attacked them. I thought it was just a scare.&1t;/p>

But there is no regret medicine in this world, so the Zheng Group had to bite the bullet and gather the army to fight. There are only 20,000 Ming troops, and the Zheng Group is not too worried. After all, they have nearly 100,000 troops in their hands. What they are worried about is that after defeating these 20,000 troops, the Ming Dynasty will not draw troops to attack Annan.&1t;/p>

The army drawn by the Zheng Group has gathered 6 times, and the front troops are fighting and retreating. The main forces of the two sides finally met inside and outside Hanoi 2oo and formed a decisive battle formation.&1t;/p>

The Annan army concentrated about 80,000 troops. There were more than 2,000 war elephants. In contrast, the Ming army only had 20,000 troops, and there were no large-scale cavalry, most of them were infantry.&1t;/p>

The gap between the forces between the two sides is extremely different. At this time, Annan is not Vietnam in the future. Its military strength is still good. The north and the south are just in the confrontation stage. Neither side has any comfortable environment, so the military strength is naturally not too poor.&1t;/p>

The battle began soon. The Bei'annan army attacked the Ming army under the opening of the war elephants. The Ming army bombarded the Annan army with artillery fire, and the artillery shells quickly burst out bloody roads in the Annan army. Whether it was a human or a war elephant, under the bombardment of artillery fire, the war elephant had to lie down.&1t;/p>

There are also some war elephants who are frightened and step on friendly forces everywhere.&1t;/p>

Under the fierce artillery attack of the Ming army, the 80,000 troops in Bei'annan were vulnerable and quickly became chaotic. Fortunately, the Ming army did not have so many troops, and Bei'annan did not directly put all its troops into the battlefield, so the Ming army did not directly attack, causing the chaotic Annan army to retreat.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming army pressed forward step by step, and the second battle broke out again. This time, the Annan people finally had a good memory and did not use the war elephants as a weapon to trample on friendly forces. These war elephants had never faced such a strong firearm scene. It was not something that could be done in a short time to adapt.&1t;/p>

During the second battle, the Annan army survived the artillery stage and rushed to the front of the Ming army continuously. The Ming army then launched a volley with flint rifles and used shotguns to strike the enemy.&1t;/p>

Shotballs and bullets shot overwhelmingly, and Annan soldiers fell one after another, and under the volley of guns and shotguns. As soon as they fell, there was a group of people, causing a strong visual impact on the Annan soldiers. It seemed as if they were queuing up and shooting them. Moreover, the Ming army's volley was a bit fast. Just after fifteen seconds of the volley, the second round of volley had arrived.&1t;/p>

Those shotguns are even more terrifying, as if they feel like a goddess scattering flowers. It is easy to kill dozens of people if they shoot one shot.&1t;/p>

Rows of Annan soldiers fell on the battlefield. This scene was like a massacre.&1t;/p>

Finally, under the continuous impact of these Annan soldiers, these Annan soldiers finally touched the Ming army formation and started melee combat with the Ming soldiers.&1t;/p>

These Ming soldiers did not wear any armor, and Vietnamese soldiers also did not have any armor. However, the Vietnamese military model was a fancy mixed style, and the soldiers had all kinds of weapons, and then cooperated with each other. This model was a pirated gold oil.&1t;/p>

However, under the mode of the Ming army's full equipment, it suffered a great loss. Moreover, the Ming army's formation was close. When Annan soldiers rushed to the front, they had become sparse. With the two sides' close forces, Annan soldiers were stabbed to death one by one by one.&1t;/p>

The cruel hand-to-hand combat had not been launched for a long time, and the Annan people could not hold on. The formation of the Ming army was as strong as a rock. They could not defeat the Ming army's formation at all. They could only die one after another in front of the Ming army's bayonet wall. The collapsed Annan soldiers quickly retreated. The Ming army took the opportunity to pursue and killed the Annan people in great terror, and directly defeated the mountains and fields with defeated soldiers.&1t;/p>

After this battle, the Zheng group in Bei'an Nan was also afraid of being beaten and did not dare to fight the Ming army head-on. Instead, they gathered the defeated troops and retreated into the city of Hanoi.&1t;/p>

Before the Ming Dynasty ruled Annan in the past, Annan split from China for more than 400 years. During this period, it was not that there was no regime that wanted to recapture Annan, but that Annan had no city to defend at that time, and it was all cities surrounded by wooden fences. After the capture, the Annan people ran into the tropical rainforest and had no choice but to do anything to them.&1t;/p>

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to rule Annan was mainly because Annan built the city during this period. Hanoi was the largest city in Annan, but its wall was compared with the Ming Dynasty, which is the wall of an ordinary prefecture-level city.&1t;/p>

The Zheng group defended Hanoi without leaving. The Ming army directly put out the artillery and began to bombard the city walls in Hanoi. These artillery were all heavy artillery, and it was no problem to deal with city walls of Annan Hanoi.&1t;/p>

Under the successive shelling, a gap was quickly blasted out of the city wall, and then a piece of collapsed. The morale of the Annan people in the city suddenly dropped. The Zheng group ran away with the puppet emperor, and the city was in chaos.&1t;/p>

The Ming army immediately attacked the city, with almost no decent resistance. After a riot, Hanoi was successfully captured by the Ming army. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
