Dance finally conquered Ancheng.

Rather than conquering it, it was the other party who took the initiative to give up. After three days of fierce fighting, the Ming army gave up Ancheng late at night, and took advantage of the night to escape and leave an empty city to Danxi.

At this time, Chen Ci had completed the entire deployment in Manila City, and at the same time led an army of 30,000 to build a camp with deep trenches and barriers on the road that Dance once again blocked Dance's way.

Danxi, who confirmed the news, looked sad. When he fought in Ancheng, he saw the combat ability of the Ming army. A team of less than 5,000 people was pressed down on Ancheng without any advancement. Now, he will face interception from tens of thousands of people. More importantly, behind him, another Ming army unit has chased him unyieldingly.

Thompson's army of ten thousand came back, and even his life and death were unknown.

If there is intercepting in front and pursuing soldiers behind, even the sky will be in peace. The opponent's airship troops will visit from time to time, and each time, it will disturb the troops very much.

At this time, no matter how loyal the army was to Danci, its morale inevitably collapsed. Although they still had enough food and had plundered a lot along the way, the entire army was no longer in war.

After repeated attacks, Dance, who was in his early sixties, finally fell ill. More than 20,000 troops of the Tiger Dynasty stayed in Ancheng, and were in panic all day long.

A few days later, Chen Ci led 30,000 troops and horses to appear under Ancheng, almost in front of him. The 5,000 naval marines led by Qin Feng also approached Ancheng from another direction.

With the airship troops' reconnaissance in the air, the two troops almost immediately learned about the abnormal movements of the Tiger Dynasty army. As a veteran on the battlefield who has experienced many battles, Chen Ci naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

The last Tiger Dynasty army that landed on Manila was trapped in Ancheng.

"Thank you for your hard work!" When he arrived at the camp of the Navy Marine Corps, Chen Ci bowed to Qin Feng and asked him for his wish. Ancheng attacked, his troops showed their tenacious combat power, earning him enough time to make him gain enough face in front of Qin Feng. Of course, Qin Feng came so quickly also surprised him, especially after hearing that the Navy Marine Corps defeated the blocking army of tens of thousands of people in the Tiger Dynasty head-on by 5,000 people, he once again had a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

"I don't have much to do, but General Chen has worked hard for this period of time." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Ning Zeyuan told me that when the war is over, I will serve you with wine."

Chen Ci smiled, "Mr. Ning was joking. The battlefield form is always changing. We are not familiar with each other's situation for the first time when we fight these Westerners. We are not familiar with each other's situation, and it is completely understandable that some mistakes are made. The current result is not much beyond our expectations."

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded: "This great retreat made me see the other side of General Chen, Yun Wen and Wu, and the general is really a capable minister."

"Your Majesty praised it." Chen Ci said: "This retreat is thanks to the Ming merchants in Manila. Over the years, they have established a very deep foundation in Manila. Although they have cooperated with the government, they are a little scared, but they are still panicked and not confused after all."

"This time, many people are going to lose their money, right?"

"Many people have indeed suffered severe damage from the places where Dance has walked along the way, but Manila has made a promise to them that they will give them some compensation and help them return to their homes."

"How is the person in the city reacting?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Be content with oneself." Chen Ci smiled and said, "Every day, he is just a drunken life and dream of death, and he ignores the government."

Qin Feng laughed: "This kind of Manila king is the best Manila king. General Chen, go and tell this person, I will meet him and have a few drinks. Since he is so sensible, we must give the decent ones that should be given."

"If Your Majesty is willing to take the time to meet, I am afraid they will be overwhelmed with joy." Chen Ci said with a smile.

In fact, the Manila king Chalan is now living in great fear all the time, and is always worried that the Ming people's army will enter Manila City and pull him out of the luxurious palace and cut him down. The Pattaya incident has really scared him out of his courage. The Pattaya royal family basically no longer exists. Hundreds of thousands of Pattaya people are now not one ten, and they are all brought back to the Ming Dynasty and become half-slaves and half-workers.

If the Ming people can do this to Pattaya, they can naturally deal with Manila like this.

If Qin Feng was willing to see him and give him a certain promise, he would naturally be happy. For Qin Feng, the Ming Dynasty still needs such a flag in Manila to shock this sea area. It is enough to have Pattaya. After hitting this sea area with a heavy blow, of course, people here will also let the warm side of the Ming Dynasty.

Fighting and pulling, big sticks and carrots are the only magic weapon for the Ming Dynasty to rule this area.

"Let's go and see Ancheng." Qin Feng said. "There must be something wrong with the Danxi tribe in the city. Han Dang reported that they were in chaos."

"Wouldn't that be able to attack Ancheng and take down this hidden danger in one fell swoop?" Chen Ci's eyes lit up.

"No need." Qin Feng waved his hand, "These people are worth more than dead."

"Your Majesty, we already have Mattus, and now we have forced Stenson to negotiate. So why do these people do?" Chen Ci said in confusion.

"What I want is that Dance himself will die. For the rest of the people, it is still useful. Holding it in your hands is the bargaining chip." Qin Feng smiled and said, "And dead people cannot make bargaining chips."

Chen Ci thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "Do you want to use them to threaten Mattus and Stenson after forcing these people?"

"Of course." Qin Feng said with a smile: "There is no big chip. Mattus is a smaller force in the Western Continent. After returning, if you want to compete with Stenson and the Crown Prince, you will definitely not be able to do without our help. But Stenson is not simple. We don't know what the Crown Prince is. So we hold the last tens of thousands of Dance's personal troops in our hands to take advantage of the situation. I don't want us to kill Dance in the end. As a result, Stenson unified the Western Continent, or Mattus became the new co-lord. At the critical moment, these people can also be put back and make trouble."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, I admire you." Chen Ci nodded repeatedly.

"Even if this trick is not needed at that time, we have other uses for these people!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "Look at these people, they are all tall and big. Whether they are here to work or farm, they must be good at it. Anyway, they live better than die. If they are in our hands, they can use it no matter how they are!"

"Your Majesty has made up this idea long ago, right?" Chen Ci asked.

"This person is loyal to Danci, and he is brave and fearless even though he knows he is going to die. I like such a person. I think that at some point, he will definitely be rude to the rebel Stenson and Mattus. In this way, the Western Continent will probably be more troubled, right?" While walking, Qin Feng planned the road for the Western Continent for the next few decades.

If it continues to develop according to the Ming Dynasty plan, Stenson and Mattus will inevitably seek independence after returning, and then naturally they will expand their ambitions to recreate the glory of Dance. They will form a triangular force with Dance's crown prince and fight each other endlessly.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty made up its mind that if anyone was weak, the Ming Dynasty would support the weaker side and always keep them in a general balance.

The two climbed a mountain of earth and looked at the distant Ancheng.

At this moment, the city is busy all over and below.

The Tiger Dynasty army in the city is busy repairing the city wall. The city wall that was broken by them these days is now their support. Outside the city, the Ming army was busy digging trenches, and deep trenches appeared crisscrossing under Ancheng. The dug out of the soil and stones piled up into earth mountains. On the several earth mountains that had been formed that were higher than the city wall, the soldiers were busy preparing to install weapons such as artillery.

The Ming army was not prepared to attack Ancheng at all.

"Your Majesty, after I go back, I will do this immediately." Chen Ci smiled and said, "I'll sleep them to death."

"The war in Pattaya will be completely over soon. At that time, some troops will be transferred back to Manila. At that time, your troops will be more abundant. After these troops are transferred, I will almost leave."

"Is Your Majesty going back to Manzhu Port or leaving here to return to Yuejing City?" Chen Ci asked.

"It's time to prepare to go back. But before leaving, we have to meet Mattus and Stenson respectively." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Matus is about to return soon. Most of his warships have been saved. After leaving 10,000 people for us, the remaining ones are enough to transport his men back. The Ministry of Commerce is organizing a huge caravan to follow him back."

"If Stenson knew that Mattus had left first, wouldn't he jump?" Chen Ci thought with some gloating.

"Stenson is a man who is so crazy and slim. I guess he can guess what we mean, so he has to force him to force him!" Qin Feng said: "Matus's power is much smaller than Stenson and is smaller than Dance's crown prince. Let him go back to protect and show his strength first so that he can compete with these two people!"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
