Chapter 271 I must consider whether this is my only chance to Annan in the county!

Chapter 271 I must consider whether this is my only chance to Annan in the county!

Wang Yue's troops divided into twelve routes, aimed at the Annan people's nest here, and launched a devastating offensive.

The cavalry cannot exert their superior mobility in these deep mountains and forests.

But the marching speed is at least faster than the fifth barracks, which rely entirely on their feet.

So the 1,000 3,000 battalions of cavalry led by Wang Rui arrived at Xijiao Village the fastest.

Like Niujiao Village, Xijiao Village is full of women and children working in the village.

The young and strong man and the old man are completely gone.

When the women and children working in Xijiao Village saw the Ming army led by Wang Rui, their reactions were exactly the same as those of Niujiao Village.

They stopped their work and looked at Wang Rui and others blankly, with no panic or fear in their eyes, only dullness and numbness.

"Stop!"

When there were fifty steps away from Niujiao Village, Wang Rui suddenly raised his hand and stopped the troops.

"Be prepared to bend the bow!"

"Let it go!"

This time, Wang Rui did not underestimate the enemy and attached great importance to the villagers in the village.

These women and children can no longer be called villagers. Their military literacy is ridiculously high, and they can even be called militias.

The soldiers from the Three Thousand Battalions took off the crossbow behind them and shot at the people in the village!

It was not until the arrow hit that the villagers were alarmed and screamed in surprise to find a place to hide.

But it was too late, and a large number of militia were shot by arrows. Although it was not fatal, it had lost its power of action. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Let it go!"

After the second round of volleys, there were no living militia outside Xijiao Village, and the rest of the living militia hid in the house.

Wang Rui pulled out his long sword and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Get in and search. If you have a living mouth, you will be killed."

"Be careful of their blowing, the poison on it is too powerful. ”

“Yes! ”

Wang Rui led the way and walked into Xijiao Village with his subordinates, paying attention to their searches everywhere and being careful and alert.

These militia had no chance to attack at all, so they quickly searched and killed them all.

Similarly, in the village, they found a can of venom, and countless homemade bows and arrows and feather arrows that had been quenched with poison.

This proves that Wang Yue’s speculation is not wrong. These thirteen villages are not ordinary villages at all.

The villagers in these villages are all soldiers, and they all have received professional military training and are good at killing enemies.

"Recycle the arrows, bring these things with you, and immediately rush to Qushui Village at full speed!"

"Yes!"

Wang Rui took away all the useful supplies, including the can of them. Venom and arrows immediately rushed to Qushui Village where the large army was located.

There is also a sea of ​​corpses and blood in Qushui Village.

This village is the largest village in this nearby area, with thousands of people.

But these people are not enough to be stuck in front of a hundred thousand troops.

It took no time to take, Qushui Village was slaughtered by the Ming army and completely turned into a dead village.

The venom found in Qushui Village also had a large tank of venom.

There are thousands of homemade poison arrows.

Wang Yue did not waste these things, and let the people from the logistics army carefully preserve them and take them on the road together.

After Wang Yue and the large army rested in Qushui Village for a while, the troops sent by Wang Yue to destroy other villages also came to Qushui Village to meet one after another.

"Qi reported to General, Xijiao Village has been eliminated, and all militias have been executed!"

"Qi reported to General, Yuhua Village has been destroyed!"

" Qi reported to General, Dajiao Village has been erased! "

"Qi reported to General..."

All the thirteen villages were slaughtered by the Ming army.

And these troops sent to destroy other villages all brought back the venom they made.

Thirteen large and small venom tanks are also carried by the logistics forces.

"Continue the march!"

After everyone came back, Wang Yue did not waste any more time and immediately issued an order to set off.

The 100,000 troops set off again and rushed to Xuanhua Prefecture.

…

In the deep forest, a small army of thousands of people walked through it carefully.

This unit is Mu Cong's troops chasing.

They followed the traces left by Wang Yue's army and chased them from behind.

But even with traces of marching, they were lost in this dense forest and made a big circle.

Mu Cong does not have the Annan map given by Zhu Youtang. He is very unfamiliar with the environment here and looks like the same scene.

The attendant who accompanied him advised Mu Cong not to chase after him several times, for fear of something unexpected would happen.

But Mu Cong's attitude was very firm, he had to chase after him, and he had to catch up with Wang Yue's large army.

At this moment, Mu Cong was anxious.

How could they not catch up with such a large army?

If it is a big deal because of his negligence, then he will be unable to sleep or eat.

At this moment, the soldiers in front suddenly turned around and reported to Mu Cong: "Sir, there is a situation ahead, it seems to be a village!"

"What?! Wan Wan Be careful, be careful! "

After hearing this, Mu Cong immediately changed his face, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"Everyone, bend your bow and arrow, be ready at any time."

"If there is anything unusual in the village ahead, start immediately, regardless of age or young, regardless of gender, kill everyone immediately. Do you understand? ! "

"Yes, Lord Duke!" Although his trusted troops were puzzled by Mu Cong's cautious attitude, they still nodded and followed the order one by one.

Mu Cong led his trusted troops to approach the village carefully, and even slowed down his breathing.

His trusted troops really didn't understand why Mu Cong was so nervous.

This is not what he should do, as he is, who has suppressed the rebellion of the chieftains many times.

Slowly, Mu Cong came to the vicinity of this village with his confidant troops.

But the scene inside shocked them and they were sweating profusely.

I saw blood flowing in the village and corpses everywhere.

The people in the village were slaughtered, and there was no living person in the entire village. And those villagers who were killed were actually all women and children, neither a young man nor an old man!

Mu Cong frowned tightly and walked in the village to check the situation, feeling a little heavy.

The followers beside Mu Cong couldn't help but frown tightly after seeing such a cruel scene, with anger on their faces.

"These... could not be done by General Wang's troops, right?"

"How could they be so cruel that they could kill even the unarmed common people, women and children?!" "They did this to defile the reputation of the Ming Dynasty and to discredit the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

The followers said angrily, all of whom were speaking out for the women and children of Annan who died tragically on the ground, and accused Wang Yue of his large army of being too cruel and inhumane.

Mu Cong glanced at the followers beside him, his face was gloomy and he didn't say anything.

At this moment, a close soldier suddenly shouted.

"Come on everyone! Come and see!"

"There is a new grave here, this grave is so big!"

No mistakes are made, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one Read the content in one 6-9 book one!

"And the wooden sign in front of this grave is still engraved with Chinese characters!"

"..."

This man's shout attracted the attention of a large number of soldiers.

They surrounded them curiously, stood in front of the big grave, looked at the Chinese characters on the wooden sign, and guessed what was written on it.

Unfortunately, not many of these big-headed soldiers are literate, and they are basically illiterate. Just looking at them, they don’t know what they mean.

It was not until Mu Cong came with his followers and saw the Chinese characters on the wooden sign that his face suddenly became solemn, and he gently said to the soldiers around him, word by word.

"The loyal and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty gathered together to the tomb."

Hearing this, the expressions of the soldiers around him became serious.

The people buried below are all their brothers and soccer compatriots.

As both soldiers, they were prepared for death in their hearts. On the battlefield, they could only bury wherever they died.

A lucky one will be wrapped in a horse's body after the war is over and the leaves will return to their roots.

But more people will stay on the battlefield forever.

At this time, Mu Cong's soldiers respected the Ming martyrs in the tomb.

The wooden sign is made of just cut down wood.

The words above are also deeply engraved with a knife, and are very memorable.

Under the wooden sign, there is a short epitaph.

The above records how they were confused by these Annan women and children militias and took it lightly, and were attacked by them and killed their lives.

Looking at this epitaph, the followers who originally thought Wang Yue's army were cruel and lowered their heads in shame.

They were still speaking out for the dead Annan women and children, and were still angry about the cruel behavior of the Ming army.

But when they saw this epitaph and learned the truth about the matter, they realized how stupid they were and how outrageous they were.

It turns out that these so-called women and children are militias who have received military training and combat capabilities.

If it weren't for the previous Wang Yue's army, who had eliminated the threat for them, would have probably been the ones who were deceived and attacked.

In that case, the people lying in this tomb now may be themselves!

"Sorry, I actually felt sorry for these despicable and cunning enemies before. It was me who wrongly blamed our brothers!"

"Damn it! Who would have thought that Annan was so despicable that he would actually turn things around."

"Damn it! Women and children are trained to become soldiers. We have misunderstood before and are very disrespectful to the brothers. It is a sin! "

"I am guilty! I have scolded the brothers without knowing it, but I didn't expect them to be He also saved our lives indirectly. I feel guilty and I repent! ”

"..."

In front of the grave, many people apologized for their rash and resentful behavior before they had not understood the situation clearly.

Looking at this scene, Mu Cong sighed and said with emotion: "When I was a child, my grandfather once told me that the people of Annan have constant civil strife and the whole people are soldiers."

"It's not just women. , Even children can fight and kill people from childhood. "

"They are good at collecting venom from snakes and insects, and then quenching the venom on arrows, thereby sneaking and injuring people."

"When they went south to Jiaozhi, they suffered a great loss in the hands of these militia because of their kindness."

"I didn't believe it at the time, thinking that how could a little baby kill someone? ? "

"When I see now, it's true. "

"I'm afraid these martyrs died of poison because they accidentally caught their hidden arrows." br>
Mu Cong was flexible and immediately analyzed the causes of the deaths of these martyrs.

Mu Cong's grandfather was Mu Sheng, the first generation of Qianguo Duke.

The first head of the Mu family, Mu Ying, was Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. He was the Marquis of Xiping when he was alive. After his death, he was posthumously named King of Qianning.

After his brother Mu Chun's death, Mu Sheng inherited the title of Marquis of Xiping. In the fourth year of Yongle, he followed the order of Emperor Taizong and joined General Zhang Fu from Dianzhou to Jiaozhi, and opened a famous county and county. Battle of Jiaozhi.

After the end of the war, the Ming Dynasty successfully established prefectures and prefectures in Jiaozhi, and incorporated Jiaozhi into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Mu Sheng also made military achievements and was granted the title of Duke of Qian, which was hereditary.

Unfortunately, during the Xuande period, Li Li rebelled again, and Mu Sheng was ordered to go to Jiaozhi again.

Because Yang Shiqi and other civil officials in Jiangnan interfered, the supply was in chaos in the later period and important military information was leaked frequently, resulting in the war failures.

They indirectly killed the famous general Anyuan Hou Liusheng who went on a battle with Mu Sheng to fight for Jiaozhi.

This led to Mu Sheng having to retreat, and the Ming Dynasty lost Jiaozhi forever.

After Mu Sheng died, he was posthumously named King of Dingyuan, and his achievements were chasing his father Mu Ying.

After so many years, the position of Duke of Qian fell on Mu Sheng's grandson, Mu Cong.

Since I was a child, Mu Cong was envious of his grandfather Mu Sheng’s achievements in Jiaozhi County.

I desperately hope that one day, I can also expand my territory for the Ming Dynasty and be famous for the eternal period.

Later, when Jiaozhi became independent from the Ming Dynasty and changed his name to Annan, he was so angry that he was so angry that he was tiring.

I wish I could lead my troops to set out immediately, massacre the Li family's royal family and recover Jiaozhi again.

Unfortunately, everyone knows what happened next.

Cabine officials headed by Yang Shiqi and San Yang, together with the Jiangnan smuggling group, secretly obstructed, resulting in the Ming Dynasty being unable to recover Jiaozhi again.

Mu Cong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. Even after becoming the Duke of Qian, he often sighed to the south.

Now, Your Majesty has finally decided to be Annan again.

This time, he said he would seize any opportunity.

He is nearly forty years old now, and he must consider whether this is the only chance he has in his life for Annan.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to leave his post and rashly broke into Annan, just to catch up with Wang Yue's large army and participate in the war in Annan in the county!

In front of the loyal and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Cong took his confidants and bowed to the grave to express his respect.

Then waved his hand and ordered: "Continue to chase, the large army must be ahead, chase at full speed, and you must catch up with them!"

"Yes, Lord Duke!" br>

With Mu Cong's order, three thousand trusted soldiers set off again.

Follow the traces left by the large army.
