The calendar used by the Zhen La people is closer to the solar calendar used by the Ming Dynasty.After November (between October of the lunar calendar), the climate reaches the cool season; this is the lowest temperature season that is subdivided in the dry season.
Even the real La people who are used to the hot and rainy climates like the cool season.
In these three or four months, the temperature was gentle and pleasant, lukewarm and hot, and the rain was the least.
Although it often rains at this time, the ordinary rain time is very short. When the ground is wet, it will evaporate quickly and the road will not be muddy.
However, the Ming Dynasty's army did not arrive at the beginning of the Liang Season.
When the Ming army approached the Saigon area, it was already late November (10th lunar month), and it wasted almost a month of good days.
Both the Zhenla people and the Mantaji people speculated that it might be because of the storm and delayed the opportunity for the Ming army to advance.
Therefore, the envoy on the Zhenla warship was very satisfied with this.
General Zhenla could guess the mood of the messenger at this time: there was not much time left in Liangji; even if the Zhenla people failed to win on the battlefield, they would drag the Ming army to Zhenla Kingdom throughout Liangji.
The Ming army could not continue to move south at least this year, and perhaps within a few years, it would not continue to invade south at all; because after the war was consumed, the Ming army was very likely to return.
And this is the worst result.
The general stood on the deck, watching the scene ahead.His face was shiny and shiny in the sun.
The soft morning sunlight did not make him feel overly uncomfortable.
The temperature at the sea is not high and the sea breeze is cool.
The stable temperature cannot form a hurricane at sea, and the wind is very stable, making the sails very full and look quite beautiful.
What was a little unsatisfactory was that they rushed over from the southwest of Saigon Port, and the direction of their navigation was headwind.
Originally, the northeastern monsoon in the ocean here will not prevail until December of the Gregorian calendar every year; but this year's northeastern monsoon seems to come earlier.
It is only late November, and the northeastern wind is blowing from the ocean.
However, in this battle, things like going up or going up are the least important conditions.
Because the coalition fleet is going to raid, not to set up battles, as long as the wind can blow their fleet to Saigon, that is enough.
If both armies are prepared and set up a decisive battle, no matter whether it is a headwind or a good wind, the coalition will not be the opponent of the Ming people.
So even if it is a good wind, it will have no effect on the coalition forces.
There is no enemy ship on the sea today.The general was watching himself and ordered other ships to observe.Until now, the coalition forces have not seen the enemy ships; the Ming people should have not noticed the movement of the coalition fleet.
Everything is perfect.
The general stared at the sea calmly and took a deep breath in the wind.When he first went out to sea, he could smell the faint fishy smell in the sea breeze, but now he can't smell it at all.
The entire sea was covered with ships, most of which were sampan boats, not big, but many; only in the fleet of full-spikes, there were large ships with soft sails from time to time.
The Mantaga people were believers of the Hui and Islamic Sect, and they had contacts with countries in the Sultan Kingdom of North India, Persia and other places.
The shadow of the ships in the distance is very small, and there is a large ship from time to time between many small boats.The general looked over from a distance and felt like a large area of ants and a larger soldier ant from time to time.
At this moment, a small boat gradually shuttled over from the west of the fleet and near the land.
The boat slowly approached the general's flagship and threw it with a grapple hook to fix the position.Then a rope ladder was dropped on the side of the big ship.After a while, a military man climbed onto the deck below.
The military man had yellow copper armor on his forearms, head and shoulders. His robe was covered with his body, his arms and chest muscles were exposed in the sun, dark and strong.This person is obviously a person with a certain identity.
The military man came over and faced the general and the envoy of the Manchu Sect, and folded his hands to pay homage.
There is a secret report.Junhan took out a bamboo tube.
The general waved his hand and asked the people around him to retreat, but did not let the Mantaga messenger leave.Now the Zhenla people and the Mantaga have formed a coalition force, and the Zhenla people do not need to hide the envoys from military affairs.
very good.After reading the secret report, the general said a brief sentence.His expression was still calm and composed.
Subsequently, the envoy of the Massacre was allowed to view the letter.
And he couldn't hold back his emotions, and soon a smile appeared on his face, and then he raised his head excitedly and laughed.
The general looked at him and smiled.
The secret report came from the Zhenla noble Anen, who was the queen's younger brother.
Ann came up with many ideas for the overall deployment and strategy of this war, and was the one who supported the strategy the most.
Therefore, An En is the general who commands troops on land.
Ann sent the latest news.
The main force of the Ming army has already arrived ashore, and the camp is near the intersection of the Tongnai River and the Qianjiang River (South of Ho Chi Minh City).
The Ming army was on the east bank of the Tongnai River, and the Zhenla army was on the west bank of the river. The two armies stood in a confrontation across the river, less than twenty miles apart.
On the east bank of the Great River, there are dozens of military camps in the Ming Dynasty.
The barracks were built along the edges of rice fields and in the woods, and they lasted for several miles.
The Ming army built ditch wall fortifications around the military camp, and the army was stationed in the military camp, waiting for the fighter jets to fight to the decisive battle.
There are countless flags and guns.
An En bravely approached and watched with all his life.
He estimated that the Ming army had a large number of troops, not 20,000 or more!
Even in the Liang Dynasty, the Ming army was quite unacceptable to the local situation and lit a lot of herbal tobacco in the military camp to repel mosquitoes.
The unpleasant smell of grass smoke can be smelled two miles away.
The vast majority of Ming people are at the intersection of Qianjiang and Tongnai Rivers.The messenger of Mantaga said gasping, his face was broken just now and his breathing was also affected.
It was finally difficult that he calmed down from his extreme excitement.
The general's expressionless face was still echoed: Yes, it went smoothly.
He put away the secret report and continued to calmly look at the sea ahead.After a while, the general spoke again: Everything went smoothly.
It's really, so smooth.After the general said this, he even realized that it was a bit long-winded.
He changed his words and said: The army of the Ming Kingdom has just arrived, and it is not clear where our fleet at sea is.But they didn't even send a boat?In the past two days, we have not seen any enemy ships come out to search.
The messenger glanced at him and said: General is too cautious.
The general understood the messenger's eyes and understood that he was indeed a very cautious person.
When discussing affairs in the King's Hall, the person who insisted on passively avoiding war and hiding around Angkor Thom and not going out to fight was the general.
Now that the battle curtain has begun, he is ordered to lead the fleet to attack, which is not his own opinion; it is simply because, in the end, the king adopted Ann's opinion.
The voice of the messenger of the Mantaga said: The sea surface is so vast!Since the Ming people could not send out a whole fleet and set up a wide formation to search, they were most likely to have sent out sporadic ships but missed us.
The general turned his head to look at him and nodded slightly, feeling that it made sense.
The messenger said again: Before we set sail, we hid on the Mekong River for a long time.Both sides of the Mekong River are filled with water and grass and jungles. If the enemy does not get close, they will not be able to find warships.The coalition forces only went out to sea for two days. It is possible that the Ming people sent out the sentry ships, and they happened to be not in these two days, so they missed the time.
The general nodded and said yes.
The fleet continued to detour, and in the afternoon, they finally arrived at Saigon Port (near Vung Tau).The ships of the Ming Dynasty gradually revealed shadows from the calmer arc sea level.
Although it was still far away, after a while, the general saw that the countless warships had not raised their sails.
The enemy ships were all still, floating in the bay.
It seems that the Ming people knew nothing about the arrival of the coalition fleet in advance!
At this time, the large number of warships of the Zhenla Manta and the coalition forces were still advancing.
The messenger of Mantaga pointed to the distance and said with a smile: All the enemy ships are still moored now. Their situation is surrounded by land on three sides, and our warship fleet is in the southwest; we can't escape!The enemy only discovered that the troops on the shore of Qianjiang River were far away and the water was far away and the nearby fire was not saved.
The general's eyes did not blink and widened, and his big eyes on his black face looked like torches, looking coldly at the groups of prey in the distance.
On the surface, he still had no emotional fluctuations. He asked himself in a very gentle and cautious tone: Can we attack?
Perhaps he was not asking questions, but in the critical moment of tension, he carefully examined the battlefield again.It is easy to change the country and its nature is difficult to change, and its cautious temperament is difficult to change.
The messenger said: Of course, what are you waiting for?
This full-talk envoy, always thought it was very interesting, and often liked to make some less funny jokes. At this time, he joked again: The fat meat is on the lips, the general wants to give up, but are you willing to give up?
The general nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the front for a moment.At this time, he withdrew his gaze from looking around, looked around for a while, and then said calmly: The time is here.
The messenger of Mantaga was extremely excited and shouted loudly in the wind: Now that Ibris has come to the world, I can't save the Ming people!
The messenger said it well.
The general looked up at the sun that was far west, and thought it was less than half a day before dark. Most of the Ming army troops on the land could not have time to save the fleet, and the Ming fleet was all blocked in the bay, so they could not even escape.
They are dead. General Zhenla could not imagine what other Ming people could have.
The general's movement suddenly became powerful and rapid. He suddenly turned around and said: Give an order, the entire army will attack.Take their warships and burn everything about them!
Even the real La people who are used to the hot and rainy climates like the cool season.
In these three or four months, the temperature was gentle and pleasant, lukewarm and hot, and the rain was the least.
Although it often rains at this time, the ordinary rain time is very short. When the ground is wet, it will evaporate quickly and the road will not be muddy.
