Chapter 631: Flying Balls in the Sky

The sailors appeared like a group of strong men, rushing into the kindergarten, almost unilaterally.

In the evening, the Qinghua was broken.

In fact, the Annan army and horses have not fought for seventy or eighty years. They have long been corrupt and almost collapsed at once.

Hu Kaishan cursed because a group of sailors were rushing for the head. At this time, even Hu Kaishan cursed, it would not work.

The next day, Annan shook.

Obviously, the Annan people could not imagine that they were actually attacked from both sides. What was even more terrifying was that these sea enemies took only a few hours to capture thousands of Annan horses from Qinghua.

Such combat power is very easy to make people mistakenly think that the main force of the Ming army has arrived here, and the number of people is only terrible, with more than 10,000 people.

Moreover, since the Ming army can come from the sea, will there be a steady stream of reinforcements from the army and horses in the future?

This really makes the entire Annan Kingdom like a frightened bird, Qinghua’s distance from Shenglong, and Yunnan and Guizhou’s distance from Shenglong.

It seems that it is only a few hundred miles away, but it can be cleared to Shenglong, which is a flat land. Once you want to attack north, you can reach it in a few days. The sudden appearance of the Ming army is really terrifying, and people are inevitably afraid of their opponents who do not understand.

Now, the capital is under the eyes of the Ming army. How dare King Annan take it lightly? No one is willing to put himself in danger. So he immediately sent an envoy to recall all the armies.

The Annan people's strategy has undergone great changes. Since the Ming army appeared in the south, it is no longer meaningful to defend the Ming army in the north. It is natural to defend Shenglong. Relying on Shenglong's tall city wall, it is important to stick to it with all its strength.

This is almost the only choice for the Annan people. It is not clear whether their specific strength is their follow-up. If they will send more reinforcements from the sea and rashly siege them, it may make Shenglong empty, giving the Ming army that appears at sea at any time an opportunity to take advantage of it. If the Ming army lands in other places and directly takes Shenglong, it will be extremely terrible.

The elite troops in Annan, tens of thousands of people, began to gather towards Shenglong. The Annan people were preparing to adopt the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. All the food in the suburbs was brought into Shenglong, and the mountains of grain, cattle, horses, forage, and soldiers were piled up like mountains in this largest city in Annan.

Shenglong is not only the capital of Annan, but also a giant city. This city is built in the Central Plains capital. The scale of the city is particularly huge. Like the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it has inner cities, outer cities, and imperial cities. The city walls are piled up with blue bricks and giant momentum. It has been hundreds of years since the Li Dynasty of Annan. Over the past few hundred years, the scale of the city has increased day by day, which is even more extraordinary.

It is safe to hide here. What's more, the Ming army had long supply. As long as there were enough troops to defend here, no matter how strong the walls were, they would not give a single grain to the Ming army. As long as they persisted, it would be no problem to defend for ten years.

…………

The urgent reports were sent to Guizhou and the Ming army in Guizhou, waiting left and right, but they did not see the order of Your Majesty. It seemed that this place had been forgotten by the court, and they heard that the Japanese guards had launched an attack. Therefore, the vanguard army, led by the vanguard camp, began to enter Annan.

Half a month later, the Ming army arrived at the plains near Shenglong, but faced a broken wall, as well as all the bare ridges after harvesting the grain.

Although the army gathered in Shenglong, the various prefectures and counties in Annan had natural hostility and resistance activities towards the Ming army, especially the scouts released, there were more than a dozen casualties and injuries in one day. Not only that, occasionally, the auxiliary soldiers transporting food and grass in the rear were always attacked. The attackers were the Annan militias of nearby prefectures and counties. They were dozens or several people, no matter how many of them, they only gathered a hundred people. However, they were elusive among the forest and mountain streams. When they encountered a grain team, they attacked immediately. If they encountered a tenacious resistance, they immediately retreated and hid in the forest.

After receiving a series of reports, Fang Jinglong, who personally led his troops into Annan, seemed very worried.

He was just recovering from a serious illness, but his health was fine. Moreover, the way south was very smooth. There were 20,000 troops entering Annan this time, and there were almost no obstacles. Moreover, there were elite mountain camps as the vanguard. I don’t know whether the court would send troops to aid in the future.

But under this smooth march, there were too many uncertain factors hidden. The food team behind us were attacked at all times, which made the supply of food always intermittently. To protect the food team, we had to send more troops to guard it. This made the current troops very difficult, but in front of them, there were thousands of miles of barren land. The people of Annan were firmly in the walls and clearing the fields, and they were defending the tall Shenglong City. They could not attack and no one fought with them. What was this to do?

But at this time, the flying ball camp that was sharpening its knife arrived.

The five hundred flying balls sent by emergency were ready, and a large amount of fuel and combustion bottles had also arrived.

After observing the wind direction, Yang Biao and others, on the night that day, the flying team members who had already had a good sleep in the daylight got up. They gathered together to kill pigs and sheep, and feasted in the middle of the night.

Shen Ao ordered people to gather, and immediately, the ground crew had already prepared, and five hundred flying balls had already been inflated, and the tinder oil tank was lit.

Then, the players of the flying balls were put on leather jackets, goggles, and entered the rattan basket. After untiing the rope, they flew into the sky one by one. Nearly five hundred flying balls were released one by one, which took half an hour.

At this time, Shen Ao and Yang Biao had already reached the sky.

For them, such actions are like eating and sleeping, and it is not difficult.

Shen Ao directly covered himself with a blanket and in the vine basket: "I'll have a sleep first, and when I get to the place, I'll call me up."

Yang Biao murmured: "I'm still sleeping, and I'm not afraid of being suffocating from peeing."

Shen Ao then turned over, stood in the vine basket, looking up from above, except for the stars in the sky, there was a dark side on the ground.

Shen Ao sighed: "Do you know, my sister, he is pregnant."

Yang Biao scratched his head: "I have a few girls, the older one, and my granddaughter is about to hug you."

"What do you know?" Shen Ao found out that communicating with Yang Biao was so tired: "My girl is the crown princess."

"The Crown Princess should have a baby too. Giving a baby is a matter of a woman, and it is natural." Yang Biao adjusted the firepower of the tinder oil tank while looking indifferent.

"You don't understand, think about it carefully, what if it is a boy, if it is a boy, this is the crown prince. Do you understand the crown prince?"

Yang Biao slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my head, so that's it. In other words, I will be the emperor's person in the future?"

Although Chen Ao is a cautious person, he still couldn't help but be proud of such a big deal. After receiving the letter from home, he was excited to jump up, but it was hard to tell others, but Yang Biao was different. Yang Biao was his partner, so he couldn't help it.

Chen Ao said, "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are still there, what emperor is talking nonsense." He excitedly looked at the darkness in the distance: "The most important thing for me, as an uncle, is to make more contributions now. We cannot think that our Shen family is unpromising. To be honest, if I had not met my master, I would have been just a despicable young man in my life. Master is really amazing."

Yang Biao nodded: "My mother said that too, I'm also a despicable person."

"Okay, don't talk too much, work." The wind in the sky was very strong, especially when it came to an airflow layer. The wind from north to south was whistling, blowing the flying balls, heading south all the way.

After one hour.

Shenglong City seemed extremely calm, but under this calmness, there were hidden waves. In order to prevent the Ming army, there were soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth everywhere on the towering city walls. They held weapons and did not dare to slack off, so they patrolled back and forth.

The palace city was brightly lit, and King Li Han of Annan was still summoning ministers to discuss plans to deal with the Ming army.

For the monarchs and ministers of Annan, the most suspicious thing about this matter is why the southern expedition of the Ming Dynasty was issued by the crown prince, rather than being spoken by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and then waited for the imperial edict to be issued, the official rituals and sealed, and then sent to the cabinet for promulgation.

There are obviously too many strange things behind this.

The fall of Qinghua made Li Han, who was originally full of confidence and claimed to be Emperor Annan, worried. He never expected that the Ming army would come from the sea. Faced with such an incredible thing, the first thing he thought of was Shenglong's safety. Shenglong was the capital of the country, and once it was attacked, it would be a big deal. Therefore, he immediately issued an order to order the troops to return to defend Shenglong.

The civil officials and military generals in Annan were still undergoing violent changes. Some people thought that the Ming army was not afraid. When the Ming army invaded Annan, they ended up suffering and finally withdrew their troops obediently. They believed that the current Ming Dynasty was weaker than when Emperor Wen was the time. As long as they persisted to the end, the Ming army would be defeated.

However, some people believe that instead of fighting with the Ming army, it is better to surrender, get rid of the emperor's name immediately, and at the same time express obedience to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the latter is a minority after all. In Annan, a trend of arrogance has long been born. The royal family called themselves emperors and believed that Annan was the true Chinese. They regarded the Ming Dynasty as the Northern Dynasties. Although to the outside world, they were sanctions to the Ming Dynasty, all the instruments that Li Han, even the temple names given to their ancestors, were imitating the standards of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Annan Hanlin was fierce and said sternly: "Your Majesty does not have to worry about the mere Northern Dynasties. The Northern Dynasties have never succeeded in conquering our Southern Dynasties. They were just bluffing. And our Southern Dynasties had hundreds of thousands of people working together, why bother with the barbarians of the Northern Dynasties? Now Your Majesty only needs to stick to it and wait for an opportunity to fight back. In the future, he falls into the Northern Dynasties and divides the river with the Northern Dynasties and encompasses the northern Dynasties' Jiangnan, and then the great cause of ancestors will be accomplished."

What he said was like a rainbow, making people unable to help but feel excited.

The people of Annan have a high reputation, otherwise they would never have such a bad ambition.

Some people secretly said yes.
