Chapter 355: Endure Humiliation and Bear Heavy Burdens, Loyalty is Witnessed by the Sun and Moon
Chapter 355: Endure Humiliation and Bear Heavy Burdens, Loyalty is Witnessed by the Sun and Moon
The place where the two armies stopped was a beautiful plain.
There are newly sprouted green buds under my feet and green trees all around.
The breath of spring is already in the air, filled with the faint scent of grass.
Lu Yunyi rode on his warhorse and stood there quietly.
Looking at Ajumiao opposite, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"General Aju Miao, I have heard of your great name for a long time.
I will remember that when the King of Siam went to Yingtian,
General Ajumiao also followed and witnessed the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Why are you so desperate now that you want to go against the Ming Dynasty?"
General Ajumiao did not deny it, his face returned to its usual calmness, and he spoke calmly:
"The Ming Empire is extremely powerful, but it also has its share of hardships.
Sooner or later you will attack our southern countries, Siam is just trying to protect itself."
Lu Yunyi looked up and down at his face and nodded slightly.
"With the example of Luchuan, it is only natural for Siam to consider this."
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi's expression suddenly became serious.
Two cold rays of light shot out from his eyes and hit Aju Miao's face:
"My Great Ming is the central country in the world. Why should I worry about you when doing things?"
"What you are doing now is forcing the Ming Dynasty to take action.
If Siam ends up like Luchuan in the future, you can't blame others, you can only blame yourselves."
The voice was so cold and murderous that it made it difficult for Ajumiao to breathe.
This point has also been thought of in China.
But after weighing the pros and cons, we decided to send troops!
Putting away his thoughts, Ajumiao slowly raised his head, showed the letter in his hand, and asked:
"General Lu, is what's written in the letter true?"
"Of course it is true. I am now the governor of Dali's southern military affairs and can make the decision.
As long as Siam turns back from its wrong path, the Ming Dynasty will forgive its past mistakes!"
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi pointed at Li Jinglong who was standing beside him.
"This is the Duke of Cao of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust him."
Ajumiao looked at the angry young man in shock.
His eyes widened slightly, and he quickly raised his hands and clasped his fists:
"Meet Duke Cao of the Ming Dynasty. Is Duke Cao's last name Li?"
"My father is Li Wenzhong."
Li Jinglong spoke in a cold voice, staring at Ajumiao.
Ajumiao's expression relaxed a little.
In the tenth year of Hongwu, when he accompanied the king to Yingtian, he was received by Duke Hanguo and Duke Cao.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly:
"Duke Cao, please accept my condolences."
Li Jinglong did not speak again. Lu Yunyi at the side spoke calmly:
"If General Ajumiao feels that what is said in the letter is inappropriate,
Now you can turn back to the army and we can fight again."
Ajumiao fell silent for a long time. He slowly raised his head and spoke in a deep voice:
"The place that Si Lunfa really wants to attack is Dali."
This is the sincerity of cooperation he showed.
But soon, Ajumiao fell silent again.
The faces of the dozen or so people in front of him were extremely calm, as if they were no exception to this answer.
even
He also saw a hint of ridicule.
"I know about this matter, General Ajumiao, there is no need to say more.
If Siam wants to withdraw and stay out of this, it must bring out the real deal.”
Ajumiao's heart sank and his breathing became a little rapid.
Sure enough, this battle will not be that simple!!
Lu Yunyi smiled and said calmly:
"Well, after we go back,
General Ajumiao has strangled all of Annan's subordinates, and the document in your hand has taken effect from now on.
General Aju Miao has become a loyal and righteous man who endures hardships and endures hardships. How do you think that is?"
Ajumiao shook his head slightly bitterly:
"Lu Yunyi, there's no need to say any more nonsense. Just tell me what you really want."
"readily."
Seeing that he was not going to keep him in suspense, Lu Yunyi simply said:
"According to the time, Si Lunfa should have arrived in Dingbian by now.
Our troops intend to launch a surprise attack on the Luchuan camp and capture it in one fell swoop. What do you think, General Ajumiao?"
Ajumiao's face was pale and he struggled. He nodded gently:
"I am patrolling the camp tonight. If you come, we can leave you alone."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers around Aju Miao understood them and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Going against this may be the wisest decision.
Lu Yunyi shook his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke softly:
"Not tonight, but now."
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi turned his finger and pointed at the mountains and forests on both sides.
The originally quiet forest was suddenly filled with the sounds of "da da da" and "ka ka ka".
Ajumiao's face changed drastically, and he looked around suddenly.
Black-armored cavalrymen suddenly appeared in the originally empty forest.
Standing quietly in the shade of the tree, looking at him indifferently!
Ajumiao only felt his breathing suddenly quicken.
The hairs all over his body seemed to explode. He looked at Lu Yunyi in disbelief, his pupils trembling!
"They. When did they cross the river?"
Not only Ajumiao, but also the soldiers around him felt cold all over.
They were extremely grateful that the Lord had stopped the army.
If they continue to pursue, it will no longer be the Ming army that is outnumbered, but they.
Lu Yunyi smiled faintly, his voice calm:
“There is more than one floating bridge to cross the river, it doesn’t matter.
The important thing is that General Ajumiao is now taking us back to Luchuan Camp.
We are going to launch a general attack on the camp now!
As for General Aju Miao's subordinates, they can just act as vanguards.
After all, we are not the worms in General Ajumiao's stomach, so I don't know what you think."
Ajumiao fell silent again, knowing that this was a token of surrender.
If you want to defect during the war and have the Ming Dynasty forgive you for your past mistakes, you must pay a price.
Ajumiao breathed rapidly and turned his head to look at the ten soldiers who followed him.
The strange thing is that they all have an inexplicable fighting spirit on their faces.
This was the fighting spirit that Ajumiao had never seen in these days.
He turned his head to look at the lush green woods on both sides.
Looking at the Ming soldiers who were also full of fighting spirit and ready to go, his expression was complicated.
He had no choice.
If he refused, not only would he die on the spot, but all the soldiers behind him would also be strangled to death.
There seemed to be two roads before him, but he could only take one.
Ajumiao suddenly calmed down, nodded lightly, and whispered a few words to the soldier beside him.
The soldier's face showed a fierce look. He quickly turned his horse around and ran back.
No one spoke.
Lu Yunyi and Li Jinglong stood there quietly, watching the Siamese soldier leave.
The same was true for Ajumiao and his group.
Soon, they saw some commotion among the Siamese army.
Fighting suddenly broke out on both sides of the team.
In just a few breaths, the two groups fell in a pool of blood.
Aju Miao then slowly spoke:
"General Lu, the person who died earlier was a spy placed in the army by the Luchuan camp.
Now that they are dead, we can move.”
Hearing this, Lu Yunyi changed his previous coldness.
He then became kind and a smile appeared on his face.
"General Ajumiao, the Ming Dynasty will remember Siam's endurance and comeback.
When the war is over, General Ajumiao can return to Yingtian with us to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Jinglong on the side did not seem so angry anymore and nodded slightly:
"The court plans to send people to Siam after the war is over.
If we help you build water conservancy projects, General Ajumiao can return with them."
Hearing this, Ajumiao's lips trembled.
He clenched his teeth tightly, feeling suddenly guilty.
To be fair, the Ming Dynasty treated Siam the best among the southern countries.
After a long sigh, Ajumiao's voice became firm again, as if he had regained his former power:
"Please rest assured, Duke Cao and General Lu, our Siamese soldiers will definitely lead the way in this battle."
As he spoke, a hint of cruelty flashed in Ajumiao's eyes:
"We can entangle those tens of thousands of Luchuan troops, no matter the cost!"
Lu Yunyi looked at Ajumiao in surprise, and suddenly a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.
It is very strange that these southern countries never hesitate to stab others in the back.
He smiled and said in a deep voice:
"General Ajumiao doesn't need to do this.
All you need to do is go back and occupy the floating bridge, and then open the gate of the fortress.
If you still want to do something, just tie down the Annan troops, and let me deal with the Luchuan troops."
Ajumiao nodded, agreeing to this arrangement.
He bowed to Lu Yunyi and Li Jinglong:
"General Lu, Duke Cao, I'll take my leave first!"
Ajumiao left with more than ten riders.
Compared to when they came, they were more heroic and vigorous.
More than ten riders ran together, like an army of thousands.
When the front army scouts saw him leaving, they hurried over and surrounded Lu Yunyi and Li Jinglong tightly.
Li Jinglong looked at Lu Yunyi with some doubt and asked:
"Yun Yi, why don't you persuade An Nanfang to surrender?
If they could both rebel,
The Luchuan camp will fall without any attack, and we will save some energy."
"Siam is enough. Most of their cavalry are from Luchuan.
After a few days, I saw that they were already treating it like a treasure and were planning to take it for themselves.
Now let them fight with you and me, with no morale left,
It is only a matter of time before they are wiped out, so they are good at persuading them.
As for Annan, he's a tough nut to crack, so there's no need to waste time on him."
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi thrust the long sword back into his hand, his eyes deep:
"To the Ming Dynasty, Annan is more important than Siam.
If the imperial court wants to take over Annan, it can use this as an excuse.
If we cooperate, and give him the opportunity to defect, wouldn't that be a false pretext?"
Li Jinglong's eyes suddenly widened.
The generals around them looked at each other in bewilderment.
We are still on the battlefield and the Luchuan war has not yet ended, but you are already thinking about the Annan war?
"Yun Yi, it's still a little premature. It won't be too late to talk about it after we defeat Si Lunfa."
Li Jinglong spoke calmly, pulling the reins to steady the horse. "Duke Cao, as long as we win the next battle, the Ming will win!"
A surge of fighting spirit surged out from Lu Yunyi.
The fatigue of many days disappeared in an instant, and turned into sharpness.
Like a sharp sword rising into the sky, it hurts people's eyes under the sunlight!
In the distance, the Siamese army had ended the riots and began to cross the river.
Lu Yunyi stared, pulled out the long sword from his waist, raised it above his head, and shouted:
"Brothers have worked hard and exhausted themselves these days.
I want to tell you that the end of hardship is just around the corner.
As long as we can break through the Luchuan camp in front of us,
Kill the enemies who should be killed, and countless wealth and glory will be waiting for you!
There were more than 100,000 people staying in the camp in front of them, but most of them were a mob.
Even the soldiers among them are no match for the long swords in your hands."
"Order the entire army to capture the camp and seize all the money!"
As the voice fell, Li Jinglong widened his eyes and suddenly felt the surroundings getting hot.
The rising fighting spirit seemed to distort the bright weather.
It was quiet around him, but he could feel the commotion in the soldiers' hearts.
Even the messenger running towards the forest in the distance,
You can feel the excitement and eagerness in them!
An army is strong only when its soldiers dare to fight and are able to fight!
The scouts of the front army gathered silently.
We moved forward stealthily through the mountains and forests and soon arrived at the east bank of the Lidu River.
Two quarters of an hour later, a huge commotion suddenly broke out on the west bank of the Lidu River.
More than a hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the camp.
Quickly go to the floating bridge and kill everyone you see!
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers guarding the nine floating bridges were killed.
This scene made many soldiers in the camp stunned.
Especially on the arrow tower near the river bank, countless Luchuan soldiers were stunned, not knowing what was happening.
But when they saw the black-armored cavalry rushing out of the forest and heading towards the floating bridge,
My heart paused for a moment, and my pupils suddenly dilated.
Just when they wanted to shout "enemy attack",
The arrows shot from behind clearly understood them.
The front scouts no longer hid their whereabouts. The sound of fierce horse hooves suddenly sounded.
It's not just the river bank on the east side of the camp,
More than two thousand cavalrymen also rushed out from the forest on the west side of the camp!
One from the north and one from the west, they swarmed in through the open gate,
They rushed straight into the most important northern part of Luchuan Camp!
This place was originally the station of Luchuan and Siam.
The two, one infantry and one cavalry, complement each other and are enough to defend the camp as solid as a rock.
But now, the originally peaceful camp was in chaos.
The Siamese cavalry took the lead in charging.
Like locusts in a wheat field, they swarmed over it,
When no one expected it, the northern camp suffered a heavy blow!
In the central army tent, Aju Miao led a thousand infantrymen to this place.
His face was extremely cold at this moment, and he had regained his previous battle-hardened majesty.
He waved his hand indifferently, and the soldiers around him dispersed instantly.
Rushing towards the elite troops of Luchuan who walked out of the military tent because of the shouting!
Hearing the shouts and screams, General Dai Wang, who was left behind in Luchuan, rushed out immediately.
The armor on his body was a little crooked, obviously put on in a hurry.
These days, the Ming army kept harassing him, which made him very annoyed.
So much so that I can only sleep for a short while in the early morning.
Today, just as he lay down, he heard shouting and killing outside.
Thinking that the Ming army had come again, he hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out!
But he didn't expect that the old acquaintance in front of him made him stare wide-eyed and his brain went blank.
He looked around and saw familiar faces fighting around him, the elite Siamese soldiers.
At this point, if he still didn't know what was happening,
He has been the general of Luchuan for nothing!
"Ah Ju Miao! What are you doing!?
Even if you lose the battle, you can't go crazy here!"
Dai Wang let out a roar.
As he spoke, he glanced around vaguely, trying to find a direction to escape.
But to his disappointment, the entire central army camp had been surrounded by the Siamese army, who were staring at him vigilantly.
A Ju Miao sneered:
"General Daiwang, you have delayed attacking Dali.
They wanted us to lure the Ming army here to attack, leaving Dali empty.
So that the Silunfa monarch can take advantage of the opportunity to attack Dali from Chuxiong? Am I right? "
Dai Wang's face changed. Although he was panicking, he didn't show it on his face.
"Ajumiao, what nonsense are you talking about?
It is clearly us who are supposed to guard the army's rear here and wait until the king attacks before attacking again! ! "
Ajumiao waved his hand impatiently:
"Alright, alright, stop telling these lies.
The Silunfa ruler was indeed very smart in his strategy of changing the family.
But unfortunately, the Ming people are more clever and have already seen through your plan!"
Having said this, Dai Wang no longer had any hope, and his back suddenly slumped.
"Have you surrendered?"
Aju Miao was furious:
"Bullshit, I, Ju Miao, and the king are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
I just endured humiliation under your command, and cooperated with you from within.
Our Siam's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is evident to all, and no one should humiliate us!"
Dai Wang's pupils suddenly widened, and he suddenly understood something.
No wonder the Ming army seemed to have opened their eyes.
Any defensive maneuvers could be avoided. It turned out that there was a spy inside.
Daiwang suddenly felt a surge of despair in his heart, despair about Luchuan's future.
Ajumiao stared at Daiwang, his eyes flickering, and shouted:
"Come here, hack him to death!"
Dai Wang looked up in surprise and shouted:
"I am willing to surrender!"
But Ajumiao said nothing, letting the long sword chop down and the long spear pierce in.
Until then, Dai Wang's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly realized.
Siam is not a hidden player, but a fence-sitter.
Inside the camp, torches were as bright as day and arrows were raining down.
The raging fire spread rapidly.
The fire engulfed the wooden fences and tents, and the firelight illuminated the soldiers' confused faces.
what happened?
Who is the enemy?
A group of Luchuan soldiers could only smell the burnt and bloody smell in the air as they were killed in the chaos!
In the blazing flames, the Luchuan soldiers tried to fight back.
But facing the well-trained and well-equipped Ming army,
The Siamese soldiers were particularly enthusiastic and in high spirits, but their resistance seemed so weak.
Finally, the fence of the camp broke like a fragile dead branch under the fierce impact.
The outer fence finally collapsed! !
"Soldiers! Don't be stingy with your strength. Drive all the enemies into the river!"
Lu Yunyi's military order was transmitted intact to the entire northern front of the camp through loudspeakers and messengers.
Thick smoke billowed up into the sky.
The bloody battlefield was shrouded in darkness.
The Luchuan army was defeated. Faced with the sword handles and the cavalry's charge, they were forced to retreat to Lidu River.
They were terrified and fled in panic.
However, the offensive of the front scouts was like a surging tide.
Wave after wave, leaving them no chance to breathe.
Without a leader, everyone is fighting on their own, and the end result is just a mess.
Many Luchuan soldiers were driven to the Lidu River.
Their eyes were filled with fear, and looking at the surging river was like looking into a bottomless abyss.
The Lidu River is sparkling, but at this moment it seems particularly cold and ruthless.
Xu Zengshou, wearing armor, appeared in the team indifferently, looking at the enemy in front of him.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, and he shouted:
"Musketeer Belongs"
"Nine-stage attack!!"
Thanks to the advance application of bamboo tube pre-filling,
The Nine-Section Strike that had never been performed finally appeared before the world!
"volley!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Along with the roar of muskets, rows of bullets fell like dense raindrops.
Break the silence and hit the target accurately.
The Luchuan soldiers were thrown into chaos by this sudden attack, and were horrified to find that their comrades had instantly turned into sieves and fell to the ground.
They screamed and ran around, trying to find a chance of survival.
However, this is just the beginning of the Nine-Section Strike.
In the following period of time,
The musketeers followed the predetermined plan and took turns to fight.
Every shot was accompanied by a roar and a cloud of smoke.
The musket in his hand seemed to never stop, continuously pouring bullets at the enemy.
Wave after wave, never stopping.
The breath of death permeated the entire riverside.
Because it was daytime, everyone could see clearly, and fear spread at an unprecedented speed!
The Luchuan soldiers fell into the river, struggling and being swallowed by the turbulent current.
In each volley,
The Luchuan soldiers were forced to retreat continuously, and finally fell into the river one after another.
The river water was splashed high and was soon dyed red by the blood.
The drowning man struggled in the river.
Their cries for help were drowned out by the noise of the battlefield.
After an unknown amount of time, the Luchuan army, who were lying on the ground to avoid the hail of bullets, suddenly discovered that the violent noise had finally subsided.
They tremblingly leaned forward to check, and their breathing suddenly stopped.
There were only a few people left standing on the shore.
The bodies of the dead were scattered all over the Lidu River, floating down with the waves.
Nine volleys, each one was like the breath of death, taking away countless people.
During this long process, the musketeers remained focused and calm.
Their movements were swift and precise, without hesitation or slowness.
Their eyes revealed their desire for victory.
As if to inject this power into every bullet,
Make them explode inside the enemy's body.
Xu Zengshou and Guo Quan stared at the scene in front of them in a daze, with sighs on their faces.
From the sixth stage to the ninth stage, it seems that there is only an increase of three stages.
However, the intervals between firepower have become very few, and the effect of killing the enemy is far greater than before.
A rough count showed that the number of Luchuan soldiers who were driven down the Lidu River by them was at least six thousand!
If we add the Luchuan soldiers who died under the guns and left their bodies on the shore,
The two of them breathed heavily, this was a number they could not imagine.
And there are only a few thousand of them.
Before the two could react, a military order sounded from behind.
"Musketeers, head south and fight at the Annan camp!!"
