Chapter 2 The defeat of King Han

Ma Daonan was relieved to go to the Han Dynasty to fight.

The Ming Dynasty still invested a lot of capital against the vassal kings.

The King of Han brought a lot of food and supplies, and there was also a city. Although the city was not big, it was very strong. There were tens of thousands of people in the city, most of which were the families of 15,000 soldiers, and refugees sent from the country.

With this, the King of Han opened up a lot of fertile fields around him with the King of Han as the center.

In addition to the tens of thousands of people inside the Han King City, there are many local indigenous people near the Han King City, which are used by the Han King, and a total of more than 100,000 Han people and indigenous people are used by the Han King.

Every time the King of Han attacked, in fact, the indigenous tribes harassed the villages outside the King of Han City, affecting the grain production in the King of Han City.

If there were few such harassment, the King of Han would be asked to lead troops to expel it. But if there were many, the King of Han would lead a guard of troops to expel it.

This is not because King Han is good at leading troops.

But King Han deeply understood something.

That is, this is not the Ming Dynasty, and the identity of the King of Han is far less important than military power. Even if someone kills him and usurps the throne, the court will not receive any news for a month or two, or even longer.

Even if you get the news, you may not be able to come here immediately to uphold justice.

Everything depends on yourself.

All King Han could rely on was the soldiers in his hands.

There have been as many such wars as two or three times. Some of the wandering soldiers, even tens of thousands of people, were defeated when facing a battalion that was waiting for the Ming Dynasty.

But this time it's different.

Just as Ma Daonan continued to teach the prince, suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside.

A guard came forward and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, has just entered the city, and a large number of enemies have arrived outside the city."

"What?"

The prince and Ma Daonan were shocked at this ending.

There is nothing else. The prince may not have passed through the battle formation, but although Ma Daonan is a literati from a juren, it does not mean that Ma Daonan has never seen the war.

You should know what is the Northwest region? Before, the governor of the Ming Dynasty could be under the jurisdiction of the three sides. Almost adult males would do it several times. Although Ma Daonan had never led his troops to fight, he also followed the King of Han to fight once or twice.

Have seen the combat power of the natives.

The weapons in the hands of the indigenous people are incomparable with the exquisite armor and firearms in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Are there any long-range weapons?

Use more spears.

Not as good as the Tamura army at the time.

The King of Han had 5,600 guards, which was actually equivalent to the number of people in the Ming Dynasty Jing Camp.

It can be regarded as a separate combat unit, enough to deal with some wars. He really couldn't imagine that anyone in East Java could defeat a battalion of the Ming Dynasty head-on.

No matter why, Ma Daonan took the prince to meet the King of Han immediately.

At this moment, King Han was covered in blood and his arrows were like cow hair. Although King Han had several armors on his body, he was still shot bloodily, fortunately, most of them were wounded by flesh.

Ma Daonan immediately asked the people around him, and only then did he know why the King of Han failed.

For two reasons.

The first reason is that this time it was not done by the surrounding tribes, but by the gathering of tribes in the south. As mentioned in the previous article.

The countries in Nanyang all have a core area as the core of their rule. In addition, they are all similar to princes. Of course, the translation of nouns about these local princes may be called Xiaowang or Governor. They are not completely independent princes, and they have great autonomy in the local area.

The second reason is that the King of Han underestimated the enemy. He went on several expeditions and defeated the enemy. This time, the same is true. The King of Han did not have any military capabilities, and this time, the same is true.

He led more than a thousand cavalry to pursue him.

As a result, he was ambushed.

The King of Han himself was the focus of the ambush.

As soon as King Han was injured, his morale was immediately shaken. Speaking of which, the truly capable generals were unwilling to follow the vassal kings.

There is a very obvious example.

King Xiang was granted the title of the first king.

One of the Fang brothers stayed in Luchuan, and the other returned to the capital. Over the years, Fang Ying was certainly a general of the pillars of Xiangguo and could not be obtained. The Fang family was also among Luchuan. In addition to the Xiang family, there was also the Luchuan Si family, which was the first big family. However, compared with Fang Jin's title of Marquis and the presidency of the Privy Council, it was much worse.

Therefore, the quality of the generals in the Han King's army is much worse than that of the regular army of the Ming army.

However, even so, the training of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty was still very systematic. Under such circumstances, they fought and retreated back to the Han King City.

It's just that the casualties are very small, almost everyone is injured.

The King of Han looked pale, and the military doctor around him said, "The King of Han lost too much blood, and now I can only see if he can survive."

Although King Han did not have any fatal injuries, there were dozens of wounds of all sizes on his body, and he kept bleeding. Although he had been taking emergency treatment at the beginning, he was escaping his life. The wounds cracked again halfway.

King Han was in a coma.

Ma Daonan immediately pushed the prince out and said, "Now your Highness cannot be in charge of the affairs, so the prince will be in charge of everything. We will pay homage to the prince."

Ma Daonan knelt down first, and the other generals also bowed down one after another when they saw this.

The prince of Han was a little surprised. He glanced at King Han, then looked at Ma Daonan. It seemed that he had grown up in an instant. He pressed his voice down and tried to make his voice quiet and steady, and said, "Everyone is flat."

The prince of Han turned his head and said, first glanced at Ma Daonan, then looked at other generals, and said, "What should we do now?"

Ma Daonan said: "Your Highness, now the most urgent thing is two things. One is to defend the Han King City, and the other is to send someone to Lingzhou to ask for help from His Highness the Crown Prince."

Ma Daonan was not worried about defending Han Wangcheng.

The Han Wang City is not big, and it is just a county town inside the Ming Dynasty. It is a four-sided city. The center of the city is the Han Palace. The four corners of the city are where the military camp is located. The roads in the city are straight, just like some county towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

The city wall was demolished with Tamme City and built with stones from Tamme City, which is very strong.

In addition, the King of Han has always implemented it, and there are other systems inside and outside, that is, only Han people live in the King of Han City, and local natives live outside the city.

This has both good and bad sides.

Let’s talk about the bad side first. When the Javanese counterattack came, the natives outside the city turned against each other. The better thing is that the local natives did not penetrate the Han King City at all.

As long as the four city gates are closed, the urban food system can be integrated.

There is no problem in maintaining for a year or two.

Guarding the city is a talented skill of the Han people.

What Ma Daonan was worried about was the people who went to Lingzhou to seek help.

Now the prince is stationed in Lingzhou, taking into account all directions, and there are tens of thousands of elite troops. As long as the troops in Lingzhou arrive, even if there are hundreds of thousands of enemies outside the city, they are just grass.

However, now the enemy has begun to siege the city. At this moment, it is a difficult task to break out of the city, find a ship to go to sea, and rush to Lingzhou.

"The last general asked to leave the city for help." But a dark-skinned general said.

He was General Li who followed the King of Han to fight this time. He was a surrendered general in Annan.

Although the Ming Dynasty treated surrendered generals equally, many Tartar generals could also hold high positions, such as the Wu Jin family, which can be said to be full of loyalty and righteousness.

However, in actual operation, this kind of discrimination is difficult to eliminate.

As a surrendered general of Annan, General Li was only promoted to another level twenty years after he entered the Ming Dynasty. He is old this year and will not be resigned for a long time.

Then I wanted to find a way out from the vassal kings.

The generals under the vassal kings were all frustrated in this Ming army system.

Now General Li didn't expect that he had made such a big mistake, which hurt King Han. He also participated in the battle with the Ming army throughout the whole process, and he understood too much blood loss.

The appearance of King Han is already in danger.

Once King Han goes, his sins will be too great. Only by making the merits will it be fine.

Even his punishment was not for himself, but for his wife and children. They were also in the city of Han, and in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, there was no disaster for his wife and children.

He can only take risks. If he succeeds, he will be considered a great contribution. If he fails, he will be considered a minister of death.

Prince Han didn't understand his thoughts, but he was very happy to see him volunteering. He glanced at Ma Daonan and saw that Ma Daonan did not object, so he said, "Please, General."
