The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Shi Mingbi, who was from Annan, was not merciless at all. He guarded Yu's southern border and had a blood feud with Anlan, especially the Annan soldiers.

Moreover, we have attacked Zhou from Siming before, and now we can do it again. It can be said that we are familiar with the road. We don’t need to be too familiar with the terrain of Annan-Langzhou Road.

Annan's soldiers and horses faced Dayu's soldiers and horses. Thinking that Annan's general Bian Yuehong was captured by these and killed by Dayu in the end, his enemies were extremely jealous when they met.

The battle was fierce, and in the end the state was captured by Dayu's troops. The captured generals of Annan's army, including those with higher rankings, were all pulled out of the city and slaughtered in front of other ordinary soldiers.

The slightly more powerful bureaucrats in the city were also pulled out. In short, those who were powerful and influential in the state were kicked out, and the remaining ordinary people were easy to manage.

Not to mention cruelty, war is either your death or my death. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

As for the distribution of resources after the war, it is most important to select those who are easy to control from ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, and allocate some benefits to them so that they can quickly stabilize the area.

After all, in a foreign country, without this kind of thunderous means, there is no way to scare the local indigenous people.

"Warlord, news came back from the front line that the Siming troops led by Shi Mingbi have occupied the state of Langzhou Road in Annan, and the team is advancing all the way to Langzhou Town!"

When Sima Lu heard the news about Ye Bushou's arrival, Sima Lu looked at his quartermaster Ma Qilin, who had been his second-in-command when he was a bandit.

"Second brother, the rice here in Annan is ripe three times a year, and then the entire army's food and grass will be left to you."

"Please rest assured, Overseer, the general will use his head to guarantee that there will never be any delay in the army's food and fodder!" Ma Qilin promised in front of everyone.

"Okay, you have always been my most effective supporter, I believe you can do it!"

Sima Lu said, then looked at the other generals in front of him: "General Ji Liao Du, do you have any problems with you leading the Ji Liao troops to attack the Taiyuan Road in Annan?"

Du Bi came out of the line, heard the military order, and replied loudly: "Master Governor, there is no problem with the general!"

"Okay!" Sima Lu had not commanded thousands of troops with such pride for a long time. He looked at Hong Gao, the commander-in-chief of Shahukou Pass, with bright eyes, "General Hong, you will lead the Bingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Annan's Xuande." Guanglu, I will send you another troops, and by the way, the Guihua Road next to Xuanguang will also be captured by my army. Is there any problem with this arrangement?"

"No problem!" Hong Gao loudly accepted the order.

"Okay, Siming Commander-in-Chief Shi Mingbi has already invaded Annan and occupied the prefecture first. We can't fall behind others. Since everyone is fine, let's lead the troops and set off. We will advance in three directions. Finally, Meet up at Zhongdu Mansion in Annan!"

Sima Lu waved his hand, the flags of the army waved, and all the soldiers and horses began to break out of camp and march towards Annan.

After the various armies set off, Sima Lu's staff asked: "General Governor, the other armies have arranged troops and horses, why are there no troops and horses in Annan's Xingxing Prefecture?"

Sima Lu looked back at the retreating banner, and asked with a smile: "When a few of our troops attack the entire Annan, what kind of disturbance do you think a small Xinxing Prefecture can cause?"

After hearing his question, the staff member shook his head: "Absolutely not. The energy contained in a small area is not enough to start a prairie fire!"

"That's enough!" Sima Lu explained in a good mood: "When the whole country of Annan is in war, only Xinxing Prefecture is spared from the war. If you were a powerful person or rich man in Annan, what would you do? "

When the staff heard the question, they immediately put themselves in. After thinking for a while, they said: "If I were a powerful person or a rich man in Annan, I would definitely resist with force. If I was defeated by force, I would definitely find a way to hide in Xinxing Prefecture where there is no war. Come."

As for why there is no war in Xinxing Prefecture, ordinary people will not think too much about it when their lives are not guaranteed.

Life is important!

Sima Lu laughed proudly after hearing this: "Haha. Isn't that great? If the dignitaries and rich people in Annan all go to Xingxing Mansion, do we only need one army to take them all away, and the wealth will be concentrated? We don’t have to work hard to search for it!”

When the staff heard this, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. This method was so damaging, just like a cat trying to seduce a mouse. They would be eaten anyway and would be teased before they died.

Dayu's expeditionary force advanced in three directions, and the war has been going relatively smoothly. The Yian colony that was captured by Xia Jing earlier was stationed here by Dayu's navy stationed in Annan. They received news of Dayu's full-scale general attack on Annan. , taking advantage of the Xinpingfu Road and Hue Road that were blocked by them. These two roads are south of Yi'an, and the news from the north must not have come yet.

The navy stationed in Yi'an took advantage of this time difference and suddenly launched an attack on Xinpingfu Road. Xinping's soldiers and horses were unprepared, allowing them to capture many cities in one fell swoop. When they reached the walls of Xinpingfu, they were resisted by Xinping's soldiers and horses. .

The battle dragged on for a few days. After receiving the news, soldiers and horses from the south of Xin Binh Palace gathered together. Even the soldiers and horses from Hue Road came to support, and the battle situation came to a stalemate for a while.

"General, what should we do? If this stalemate continues, it will be very detrimental to us, and we cannot attack forcefully. You must know that it is not easy for the master to cultivate this group of navy. If the master knows that we are using human lives to fill this city, we will definitely With thunder!"

The deputy general of the Yi'an garrison knew very well that it was not easy to train the navy. He was afraid that the general would be impulsive and order an attack on the city.

They cannot do things that are not worth the gain, and this has nothing to do with whether they are brave or not.

The commander-in-chief of the garrison in Yi'an, whose surname was Lou and whose given name was Weijin, could not help but frown after hearing the words of the deputy general. This was exactly what he was concerned about. The selection of navy soldiers was stricter than that of land soldiers, and it was indeed not easy to train them. He didn't dare let them suffer a large number of casualties.

"What good can you do?"

The deputy general shook his head: "Now that the war situation is at a stalemate, my subordinates don't know what to do? It would be great if Governor Li was here, he has more ideas!"

The governor Li mentioned by the lieutenant general was Li Dingguo, the governor of Nanyang in Dayu.

Lou Weijin almost caught a mosquito with his brow. Finally he came up with an idea, but he didn't know if it would be useful.

Lou Weijin summoned some activists among the Annan people and asked them to rush to Xinping Mansion to spread the news, saying that Dayu's 50-strong army had attacked Zhongdu Mansion in three groups.

The intention of doing this is obvious, which is to use this news to shake the morale of Xinping and Hue soldiers and create opportunities for them to attack the city.

After arranging these things, he led the team to bypass Xinping Fucheng and attack the surrounding areas to expand the occupied territory. This could be regarded as a way to shake the morale of Xinping soldiers and horses.

The surrounding areas have been attacked, and you are the only one standing here. What's the use of stubbornly resisting?
What Lou Weijin never expected was that at the same time, on the sea a hundred miles away from Yi'an, a fleet of Dayu's fleet was coming to Annan and Yi'an.

"My Lord Governor, in fact, we are supporting our Dayu expedition at sea. It is enough for the last general to lead the troops. I really don't need you to follow me in person." Deputy General Xing Lun said.Li Dingguo narrowed his eyes slightly because of the sea breeze. After listening to the deputy general's words, he smiled and shook his head. In fact, it was because he had been uneasy recently and had been worried about going to Mingshui in South America.Instead of staying in the Nanyang Governor's Mansion without a care in the world, it would be better to follow the fleet and go out to fight.

Xing Lun knew that he couldn't persuade him, not to mention that everyone had come out, so he didn't say much and asked about the war instead.

"Sir Governor, when we arrive in Annam, should we attack Huazhou on Hue Road first, or land from Nie'an and cooperate with the navy stationed in Nie'an to attack north from the land?"

"Depending on the specific situation, no matter where to attack first, this time Dayu will concentrate his forces to attack Annan in an all-round way. Annan is like a fish in Dayu's pot, and it is destined to be unable to jump out."

The fleet sailed at full speed. When he saw land, Xing Lun noticed black smoke rising from Xinpingfu City south of Yi'an.

"Mr. Governor, look over there, it should be the location of Xinping City, right? There is black smoke coming from there. Do you think that boy Lou Weijin is impatient to attack Xinping?"

Li Dingguo looked at the black smoke rising from the coastline, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious. After hearing Xing Lun's question, he said without hesitation: "Nine times out of ten, it's that kid. Let's adjust the direction quickly. The destination. Xinping Fucheng!”

When the fleet vaguely saw the city head, the sound of artillery on land had already been heard.

Li Dingguo ordered the artillery soldiers to prepare, and when the fleet approached the port, they would fire at Xinping City.

The battle on land was in a stalemate, and the artillery suppressed the opponent's firepower, but they could not breach the city's gates.

As soon as the cannon was fired on the sea, the shells fell on the sea side, and the Xinping soldiers who were guarding the city on the other side were shocked.

"What's going on? There will be artillery attacks at sea?"

"Could it be that Yu the Great also sent a navy?"

As several more cannonballs landed on the top of the city, the Xinping soldiers were frightened. This was the rhythm of a flanking attack.

There was an artillery attack on land in front of them, but they tried their best to barely hold on to the stalemate. They called in reinforcements from the sea. How could they fight this defensive battle?
This stalemate was assisted by artillery on the sea, which suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the confrontation between Xinping soldiers and they were in chaos.

Lou Weijin took advantage of this opportunity and asked dozens of soldiers to push the artillery cart forward for a certain distance and fire another round of artillery shells.

The closer the distance is, the more effective the attack will be.

Cannonballs hit the top of the city, and there was a continuous wailing in the city and on the top of the city.

Facts have proved that the resistance of Xinping soldiers and horses was unnecessary. Whether it was firearms or military strength, Dayu was better than the Annan army.

The firearms of Xinping's soldiers and horses, apart from a few cannons guarding the city, were only a dozen matchlocks. These firearms were adequate for dealing with the surrounding small countries, but they were not enough to fight against Dayu's army.

The reason why they were able to maintain a stalemate for such a long time was not because of how powerful the Xinping troops were, but simply because the navy stationed in Yi'an did not want to suffer too many casualties.

Because it is really not cost-effective to touch the rubble with porcelain.

In Hoa Chau, the capital of Hue, the Dutch had a colony here, stationed with about 600 people and four sailing ships.

They were aware of the fighting on Xinping Road and were afraid of being affected, so they sent Tan Ma to inquire about the news. When the two sides were in a stalemate, Tan Ma went back to report the news.

The Dutch were extremely ferocious when they faced those weaker than themselves in Nanyang. They summoned Tan Ma to inquire and found out that Yu had used troops to attack Annan. In order not to be affected by Chi Yu, the person in charge of their colony immediately ordered that important wealth be loaded onto the ship and take advantage of the opportunity. Dayu's navy ignored them and drove away in a hurry.

Oops, things are going to change in Nanyang.

They had heard about Dayu's naval strength stationed in Southeast Asia. He had occupied their territory in Malacca some time ago. Why did he come to Annan again now?

Are they preparing to take the entire Nanyang into their pocket?
Will you give them some place to live?
Li Dingguo didn't know that the Dutch stationed in Huazhou had already run away. To sort out the problems in Qingping, when they arrived in Huazhou, all the Dutch who could move there had been moved away.

If they didn't know which direction they were running, maybe they would catch up.

As for the Dutch who escaped first, they did not run far, but ran to the Ring Kingdom to visit the Ring Kingdom capital.

Why didn't the Dutch run farther away and instead went to the neighboring kingdom of Huan? The purpose was to create trouble for Dayu. Dayu's ambitions were well known to Sima Zhao.

He wanted to incite King Huan Wang's crisis and slow down the expansion of Dayu's empire.

"Dear Majesty the King, Dayu sent millions of troops to attack Annan. Their army went all the way south. It can be said that they did not encounter any resistance. The Huazhou where we are stationed has been occupied by Dayu's army. I think it won't be long before it's our turn. You’ve gone around the kingdom.”

The purpose of the Dutch was to put eye drops, so naturally they were so frightened that they said, "I heard that whenever a place is occupied, all the nobles and rich people in that place will be killed, and their officials from Dayu will be directly allowed to rule the area. , Your Majesty, you must make plans early!"

"I dare to say that Emperor Dayu is the most greedy, cruel, and ruthless emperor in the world. You must not let their army catch you, otherwise their torture will be to cut him to pieces with a thousand cuts, and life will be worse than death!"

Needless to say, the Dutch's rhetoric still had an effect. The King of the Ring Kingdom was so frightened that his face turned pale and bloodless. If his heart hadn't been able to withstand it well, he would have fainted at this moment.

Looking at the face of the King of the Ring Kingdom, the Dutch finally left with satisfaction.

As soon as they got on the ship, the Dutch person in charge immediately ordered to leave the sea area at full speed. They could escape as far as they could for the time being, as long as they did not encounter Dayu's navy head-on.

The king of the Huan Kingdom was frightened and ordered all the troops from across the country to garrison troops in the border town near Annan overnight to stop Dayu's army advancing towards the Huan Kingdom at any time.

The ministers of the Huan Kingdom wanted to persuade the king that there was no point in stationing troops on the border. Don't forget that Dayu also had a huge naval fleet. They blocked the land route but could not block the sea route.

If Dayu sincerely wants to attack the Ring Kingdom, all their resistance will have no meaning except increasing casualties. According to their opinion, it is better to take advantage of Dayu's army before attacking and think about how to show goodwill to Dayu and win over everyone. Live in peace.
