Bright Spring

At this time, a tall woman in a long white dress took two steps forward, squatted slightly to salute, then looked up at Zhu Gaoxumei| smiled, and said in jerky Chinese: "My lord, do you want me?"

"Ha, she can speak Chinese, just her." Zhu Gaoxu pointed at the woman.

His interest heightened, and he immediately resumed his inspection of his loot, choosing among a group of women.He found a girl with a round face and a slightly pointed chin, very delicate and cute, so he stopped and took another look.

Unexpectedly, the round-faced girl curled up, looking scared and showing disgust.Zhu Gaoxu didn't force others, and immediately looked away.

Another petite girl puffed up her chest, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and moved her hands up in front of her belly in embarrassment, as if to say that although she was small, she was full|full.Zhu Gaoxu felt that her face was average, maybe he was more used to the faces of Han girls. These Annan girls generally had deep eye sockets, but fortunately, this girl's skin was fair.

"And her." Zhu Gaoxu said, "It's enough for the two girls to sleep with them."

After he finished speaking, he said to Zhao Ping: "Ruan Gonggui is playing prostitutes here by himself. The soldiers didn't work hard, and the city was destroyed in two days. This king can't forget my brothers. The remaining large group of prostitutes Female|Actor, get them all in the barracks, and ask those brothers who were the first to attack the city wall yesterday to come and enjoy it first."

Zhao Ping cupped his fists and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Soldiers and soldiers are strictly prohibited from looting civilian wives|daughters."

And these women in the lobby are all Ruan Gonggui's plaything prostitutes, they must have been bought with money, and in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, they are not considered plundering the people.

All of a sudden, the women in the lobby began to chatter and make noise.Some of them should understand what Zhu Gaoxu said. At this time, Chinese is the common language in all countries, and the history books of most countries in the East are written in classical Chinese.It's just that Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand what they said.

The round-faced girl who dodged Zhu Gaoxu just now has stood up and looked at Zhu Gaoxu eagerly. She can't speak Chinese, but she may have heard her sisters tell what happened, and she said something to Zhu Gaoxu sentence.Zhu Gaoxu was so confused that he didn't even understand half a word.

He didn't care whether the little lady could understand or not, and he only said in Chinese: "The brothers of the Ming army who went to the city first are all heroes. You should feel honored to be able to serve heroes, and you should serve them well!"

The two girls, one tall and one short, were chosen by Zhu Gaoxu, but they grabbed their hair and clothes by several girls and screamed.

"His mother!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed.

Zhao Ping rushed forward with several generals, pulled the women away, and slapped the woman who caused trouble a few times.Another general pulled out the Yanling Saber, and the shining weapon deterred the troublemakers.Zhao Ping had no choice but to call the two girls and take them out of the lobby.

Zhu Gaoxu also turned around and left. When he came outside the lobby, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly found that Zhao Ping was secretly laughing, so he frowned and said, "What's so ridiculous?"

Zhao Pingdao: "The general is rude, the prince forgives the sin. The general suddenly thought of the round-faced actress. The prince chose her and refused to choose her, but wanted to stay as a camp trick. I couldn't help feeling funny. There are 10,000 in our army. +Man, those dozens of girls, even if each of them serves twenty men every day, they can't be too busy..."

"Ugh!" Zhu Gaoxu made a noncommittal voice.

It is not a good thing for a general to be greedy for women|sex on the battlefield, but it is good for the morale of the soldiers to share it.Zhu Gaoxu thought in his heart that it was much better than looting, burning, killing and prostitution | humiliating the wives and daughters of the common people.After all, the playthings left by Ruan Gonggui were originally considered as prostitutes, and the difference is nothing more than serving the ruler of the Annan Kingdom or serving the soldiers of the Ming army.

After a while, the eunuch Cao Fu arrived at the government office, Zhu Gaoxu asked Cao Fu to take the two girls away, and went out to the river by himself.

It was late at night when Zhu Gaoxu returned to the camp of the Chinese Army near the government office.The two little|mothers soon followed Cao Fu and were sent to the bedroom.

The petite lady couldn't speak Chinese, and the other one didn't speak Chinese very well.The tall girl asked Zhu Gaoxu if he had a bath, and Zhu Gaoxu nodded and prepared to take a hot bath and rest.

When the two girls helped him undress, Zhu Gaoxu asked casually, "Why did those girls in the lobby this morning beat you all of a sudden?"

The tall girl raised her mouth and said: "They called us shameless, but they were just jealous. The women who serve Duke Ruan are all clever and smart on the surface, and speak ill of others when they turn their backs!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

The little lady immediately began to speak ill of others, "The young lady walking around the prince today is the worst, always pretending to be noble, secretly shameless than anyone else..."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "That's a pity. I thought she really didn't want to."

Chapter 3 The whole country resists the enemy (6)

Wang Bin's Department of the Pioneer Army erected six pontoon bridges in one go near Dajiang Jiangxin Island.There are more than [-] warships deployed on the east side of the pontoon bridge, guarding the troops crossing the river of the Ming army.

The navy temporarily organized by the Ming army, relying on the dozens of warships captured by Annan, is obviously not enough to withstand the main force of Annan's navy.However, the Annan army did not mobilize the navy in time to counterattack.

Jiangbei's scouts reported that the enemy warships that escaped from Mumaru Prefecture were still retreating eastward at this time; no fleet of Annan's army had been found yet.

After receiving the military report, the 10,000+ army of Zhang Fu's troops reacted very quickly. They broke out of camp a few days ago and marched westward, approaching Kimaru Prefecture.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and thought that it was destined for the main force of the Ming army to cross the river from the pontoon bridge...

He put on his armor and packed his belongings.The two women in the room were chatting endlessly, and the conversation in Annan's dialect was mixed in, which was completely incomprehensible.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, just busy with his trivial matters.In the past few days, he let the two young ladies sleep together in Xingyuan, having fun day and night, after enjoying himself, now he has become like a sage and has no interest in female sex.He also found that the two girls didn't understand anything, they liked to talk about the intrigue among singing girls, who was ugly and who was beautiful, etc. Zhu Gaoxu had already found it boring.

He picked up the helmet and walked out of the bedroom.At this time, two women were sent out, the tall one was named Yufang, who could speak Chinese, she asked, "Will the lord take us away?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In a while, the eunuch Cao Fu will come to get my things, you go with him."

The guards and soldiers in the courtyard followed, and Zhu Gaoxu ordered again: "Call the brothers of the honor guard, let's cross the river immediately."

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said: "The last general will have orders!"

...Wang Bin's vanguard army with thousands of horses had already crossed the river in the morning.Zhu Gaoxu led his troops across the pontoon bridge, and when he came to the south bank of the river, he saw corpses everywhere behind the fortifications by the river.

The corpses were not buried, and the bloodstains were not completely dried. The battle here did not end for a long time.Zhu Gaoxu patted his horse and came to the bank of the river. While riding the horse, he observed the situation on the bank.

Near the big river, there is a long and endless trench filled with sharpened hard bamboos.Behind the trench is a waist wall and a fence inlaid with hard bamboo pieces.

However, Annan's line of defense did not seem to have any effect.

After Wang Bin crossed the river from the pontoon bridge, he flanked the defenders along the river.So the bodies are all behind the fence, but there are no dead people in the trench.The corpses all over the riverside are mostly strong men wearing bamboo hats, many of them have no armor, and it is rare to see the corpses of well-equipped soldiers.

Zhu Gaoxu walked a long way, and all he saw were similar scenes.He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled... When the Ming army broke through the river, there was no need for the defenders to resist, because the Ming army at that time could already attack the defenders in the fortification from the flanks.

But why did the Annan people on this line of defense not withdraw in time?

The only reason is probably that the command of the Annan Army on the western front was chaotic.Coupled with the fact that the Annan Army has not organized a naval counterattack for a long time on the river, Zhu Gaoxu's guess has been confirmed.

... The chaos in Ruan Gonggui's department in Muwan Prefecture is a weak point of the Annan Army's Dajiang defense line.Therefore, the Ming army quickly crossed the river, but to completely break through the Annan army's defense line, there was still a city in front of it: Duobang City.

More than [-] people from Zhu Gaoxu's troops crossed the great river one after another, and were stationed in two large camps, and a small village was chosen as the headquarters of the Chinese army.They did not march to Duobang City immediately, but waited for Zhang Fu's army to cross the river.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was standing on a large grave behind the village, holding a map in his hand, looking around.

This tomb must belong to a local wealthy family. It was built very tall, surrounded by large stone slabs, and in front of it was a stone tablet with carved patterns.But at this time, it has become a commanding height on the nearby flat terrain.

On the western horizon, there are many shadows of mountains, and the lofty mountains in the distance are the west mountains of Annan Kingdom.The West Mountain is continuous and runs north-south to east.

To the east is the meandering river, which flows in a north-south direction in this area.Xishan and Dajiang form a terrain that looks like a "er"... and Duobang City (near Xishan Province) is located on the narrowest corridor in the middle, built on the south bank of the Dajiang River.

Duobang City is located on the southward protruding position of the big river, not in the river bend; it is also a position that neither hides the wind nor gathers water, and is even on the wind outlet.But because of this, it is a barrier against the Ming army's drive eastward!

There is a valley passage in the middle of the Xishan Mountains, leading to the Blackwater River and reaching the southern coastal area of ​​Annan Kingdom.

Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to take the road of Xishan, because his goal was to seize the richest Red River Plain in Annan Kingdom; to achieve this goal, he had to capture Thang Long (Hanoi).If you want to take Thang Long directly from the plain area, the best way is to take Duobang City, and then go eastward along the great river!The terrain of this road is simple, with fewer variables, so win with strength!

...At this moment, a military general walked quickly from the village. He stood in front of the grave for a while, then went around to the side of the big grave, and then clasped his fists and said, "My lord, General Zhang Hou of Xincheng is here!"

"Understood." Zhu Gaoxu responded.He put away the picture in his hand and jumped off the grave.

Several military generals accompanied him back and forth, and Zhu Gaoxu returned to the village.He walked into a big tile-roofed house, and immediately cupped his hands enthusiastically and said, "Housing Xincheng, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
