Since ancient times, the way of fighting with a strong wall and clearing the world has been the most cruel to the hostile ones.

For the enemy, being able to obtain supplies from the battlefield when the mode of transportation is still quite backward is naturally the best way. Otherwise, tens of thousands of troops will need tens of thousands of civilians to be busy in the battle, and the consumption is almost unbearable. For themselves, all infrastructure is destroyed, the people leave their homes, and houses are destroyed, and even if they win, it will take several years to breathe. The consumption of national strength is the most important thing.

However, compared to death, the country is destroyed, it is also tolerant of a strong wall and clearing the country.

Zheng Jian was still sober, but he ordered the Taiping and Nanding places in Linhai to clear the world. As for Ningjiang and Meide places close to Jiaozhou, he had not received the order from Qingye.

According to past experience, when the northern army entered the Red River Plain from Lang Son, its advance speed could not be faster. Therefore, the Annan people had enough time to publicize and directly portray the Han people as cruel beasts, and even made up jokes about eating people, which could improve the Annan people's patience with pain and enhance their hatred for the Han people.

However, this time the Dragon and Tiger soldiers landed too quickly, and the Annan army was defeated too suddenly, and it was too late to promote it.

To strengthen the walls and clear the country, not only requires a shared hatred for the enemy, but also requires extraordinary organizational strength. The corruption of the government in Annan is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty, and its organizational strength is worrying, not to mention that the situation is urgent, and it is inevitable that all kinds of incredible problems will arise.

The people of Annan did not know that the Han people were close at hand, but first saw Zheng Jian's imperial guards destroying roads and bridges everywhere.

In an era when productivity was quite backward, it was very difficult to build a road and build a bridge, and it required a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, the behavior of the soldiers was naturally blocked by the people.

Zheng Jian's imperial guards have always been arrogant and never took the people in their eyes and disdained to explain them. As a result, conflicts broke out all the time, and the surrounding areas of Nanding and Taiping were in chaos.

When the people received an order that the Han people had been fighting, they needed to hand over all the food and retreated to the west immediately. The people did not believe it at all. Some old people even asked officials to argue: The Han people came from the north, and now there was no Han people along the Honghe River. Even Jiaozhou City was as stable as Mount Tai. How could the Han people come to fight?

The grassroots officials may not have a broader vision than the old man. They just vaguely learned that the Han people had called from the sea and explained a few words to the old man, and were refuted by the people to the dust and shamelessness.

However, the officials above rushed to the scene, and how could the grassroots officials have time to use mushrooms with the people? Moreover, the tasks performed were to hand over food and leave their homes that the people could not accept. As a result, compulsory measures came into being, and the government inevitably had conflicts with the people. Several civil unrest occurred around Nanding and Taiping, forcing Zheng Jian to send troops to exterminate the civil unrest.

The Military Information Department's secret stakes were not idle, and it was a matter of being a casual word to encourage the people to resist the government and the army.

In Nanding, Taiping was in chaos and a doomsday scene.

After receiving the report, Di Wei was overjoyed and ordered Wang Dagui to suspend his advance, stationed at the mouth of the Bala River, and began to build a permanent defensive position.

As for the mouth of the Bala River, the more chaotic the people of Annan are, the better.

In the south, the peace and chaos were formed. Lang Son in the north was calm under the command of Zheng Kai, the nephew of Zheng Bai, and stared at the guards in the mountains with contempt. What's more, they stood on the wall and cursed in a reckless manner, taking the opportunity to humiliate the powerful guards and inspire their morale.

Cai Mingshan stationed his troops five miles from the wall of the gate. He led his guards to Liangshan Pass to observe the formation every day. Seeing the enemy's arrogant, he sneered: "Looking at history, the levels are for being broken! There is no level that cannot be broken in the world."

Shen Yi followed Cai Mingshan to watch the formation, and felt that this was interesting, so he couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "No? The recent example was Sangmu Pass. During the Bozhou Rebellion, the army was blocked by Sangmu Pass and could not advance in an instant. The white-rod soldiers crossed the mountain overnight and suddenly appeared in the Sea Dragon Map. Yang Yinglong gave him the title of the head."

Shin Yi's laughter obviously destroyed the strict atmosphere and made the soldiers laugh.

Cai Mingshan said: "In history, mountain combat has been constantly interspersed and interspersed, and the white-rod soldiers are deeply attracted by the taste. If elite troops can intersperse behind the levels, the so-called levels are native chickens and tiles, which are vulnerable."

Shen Yi's eyes became eager, looking forward to Cai Mingshan's order to go to war.

Cai Mingshan ignored Shen Yi and continued: "There are big interludes and small interludes. When General Tian led tens of thousands of troops to station in Yanshan, it was a strategic interlude. During the battle between Tongdeng, Beiweiying bypassed the level, which was a small interlude. Of course, as long as the troops are sufficient and the supply is sufficient, the wider the interlude, the more fruits the battle."

When Shen Yi heard that Cai Mingshan wanted to expand the scope of interweaving, he could imagine his inner joy.

Cai Mingshan did not disappoint Shen Yi, and pointed to Shen Yi and said, "This time, the interspersion range of Beiweiying can be larger, and you can directly cross the gully through Ningming County, insert it into Luping, and stand on the pavilion!"

Shen Yi agreed without thinking, "Please ensure that the task is completed!"

Cai Mingshan said: "Lu Ping, the rear of the Ting-Ling Mountain, the garrison has a lot of troops. Is the five hundred troops enough?"

"Didn't the general praise the soldiers of Beiweiying be the one who deserves ten?"

Cai Mingshan laughed: "Okay! OK! But you have to wait until I attract Lu Ping and Ting Li's troops!"

...

The Guards tried to solve the problems several times, but they all returned in vain.

The walls of Annan still stood firm and remained unstoppable. As the foundation of Annan's founding, the efforts Annan has put in over the past few hundred years.

Many soldiers suggested that red-clothed cannons be transferred to bombard the walls, and Cai Mingshan refused, "When the red-clothed cannons are transported over, the daylily will be cold."

Some soldiers wanted to say that Annan had more troops than the Guards, but when they thought that Annan had more troops than the Guards, they kept their thoughts in their hearts.

In the end, Cai Mingshan made the final decision and formulated a method to attack the city. After several days of preparation, he began to attack the problem.

Cai Mingshan ordered the artillery to build an artillery position on a mountain two hundred feet away from the wall of the pass. The position here is very clever, just at the dead corner of the heavy artillery inside the pass, which annoyed Zheng Kai very much.

It seems that the attack a few days ago was not wasted, and at least I found out the details of the heavy artillery inside the pass.

Zheng Kai always felt that the thunder cannons on the high ground were like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly. So he sent the dead soldiers out of the pass to attack the artillery position. However, the guards were ready and ready to drive the dead soldiers back to the wall easily.

When the artillery position was constructed, Cai Mingshan gave an order, and a rumbling sound of cannons sounded from the position.

Iron balls emerged from the smoke, drew a large parabola, and fell into the pass. This did not look like an iron ball, but rather like a flowering bullet.

When the Annan people saw the Guards fired their artillery, they were not afraid. They hid in the dead corner in an orderly manner, waiting for the artillery to stop.

The iron ball fell inside the pass and did not explode as expected, but made a puff sound, and liquid splashed, making a pungent smell.

As more and more iron balls fell into the pass, liquid flowed everywhere and spread constantly.

In Lang San Pass, there was a Dutch consultant who sniffed the smell and suddenly let out a roar: Fierce turbulence bomb! Prepare to put out the fire!

I don’t know where Mars appeared. With a sound of yelling, a thick fire appeared in the pass. The fire rushed straight into the sky, and the thick smoke kept drilling into the tunnel cave.

Some Annan soldiers were splashed with ignition oil, and a fire was also lit. The smart ones rolled on the spot and put out the fire. Although they were burned, they would not die immediately. Most soldiers were panicked and ran desperately towards the place where there was no fire.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the flames became bigger and bigger, instantly burning the soldiers to the ground.

Under the guidance of Dutch consultants, Zheng Kai arranged a large number of fire-fighting objects in the pass, with water tanks everywhere and sand everywhere. Zheng Kai ordered the soldiers to put out the fire with all their might.

The soldiers poured water on the fierce ignition oil desperately. The fierce ignition oil was lighter than water. Although it temporarily wiped out a part of the place, it was immediately ignited by another place and could not be wiped out at all.

Seeing that the splashing of water was ineffective, the soldiers threw sand on the fire desperately.

It is obviously not effective to sprinkle sand. The fierce turbulent oil invades the sand and still burns and cannot be extinguished.

Zheng Kai was unable to do so, so he had to order the soldiers to withdraw from the ignition area and quickly dig the fire trenches outside the area, watching the fire inside the pass burn.

The attacks of the artillery soldiers of the Guards continued, and they threw them into the pass like a fire without any capital. The fires inside the pass were getting stronger and stronger. In the end, even the artillery soldiers two hundred feet away could not bear the scorching and retreated.

Zheng Kai's soldiers could not gain a foothold in the pass, so they had to retreat south and leave the pass wall.

Zheng Kai wanted to cry without tears. He slightly counted the soldiers and found that there were more than 800 soldiers who were burned to death! The most important thing is that after the fire, at least one-third of the walls were destroyed. Why should we resist the Guards in the future?

Zheng Kai was unable to report to Zheng Jian and ordered the soldiers to build a second fortification outside the wall.

When the fire was extinguished, Zheng Kai and Cai Mingshan sent heavy troops to fight for the wall. The Annan people were burned to death by the fire, and everyone was holding their breath. It was a mourning soldier. In addition, there were many Annan soldiers. After paying the price of more than a thousand casualties, they finally drove the Guards out and began to repair the wall.

After receiving Zheng Kai's report, Zheng Yan was shocked and Lang Son was in trouble, which was much more serious than the Dragon and Tiger Legion landing at the mouth of the Bala River.

At the mouth of the Bala River, Zheng Yan could slowly waste his time with the Dragon and Tiger Legion. However, if Lang San lost, the Xiao Guards could march straight in and even connect with Jin Pu, which would be a disaster for Annan.

Zheng Jian was very anxious and quickly ordered Lu Ping to reinforce Liang Shan Pass. Zheng Kai had many soldiers, but instead increased to more than 7,000 people.
