Chapter 540: Take Fuchun
"Lin Zhaolong, you lead all the remaining infantry, advance slowly, and occupy the entire Fuchun City. Remember, don't be in a hurry, whoever runs away will be fine, as long as you take the city. ”
"Yes, sir."
"Zeng Guangxian, you lead the warships to pay close attention to the movements at sea, and be ready to block the Annan warships at sea at any time."
"Yes, sir."
"Xu Lang, you are in charge of commanding the artillery. After breaking the city, pull our two artillery regiments in and wait for orders, and go wherever artillery support is needed. ”
"Yes, sir." Xu Lang also saluted.
The next day, six cannons began to roar again. Towards noon, the newly built section of the wall finally collapsed, and the two cavalry regiments howled and rushed towards the breach before the smoke had cleared.
The artillery of the Vietnamese was almost all transferred, and a single shell made a few blood marks among the Yulin cavalry. Xu Tianbin followed behind the cavalry, secretly anxious in his heart, the Vietnamese had knocked out dozens of cavalry in this round of salvo just now, which were all the elite of the Yulin army.
But Xu Tianbin knew that this was the only chance, and he couldn't retreat, as long as he withdrew, this attack would fail again.
"Warriors of the cavalry regiment." Xu Tianbin drew his command knife, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, charge!" ”
"Sir, sir." The guard platoon leader next to him desperately grabbed the reins of Xu Tianbin's horse, "You can't charge, Chief Han ordered to absolutely protect your safety." ”
Han Wantao also saw this scene in the back, and now he can only rush forward, even if he pays a lot of casualties, he can only charge and never retreat.
"Someone, blow the trumpet of the charge, and attack in an all-out way."
The loud trumpet of the charge resounded in the sky behind the Yulin army, and Ding Jun raised his rifled gun: "Brothers, the cavalry brothers have opened the passage for us, brothers rush!" ”
Two thousand cavalry braved the fire of the Vietnamese and finally rushed into Fuchun City, and Ye Zhan also rushed to the gap with the infantry regiment.
"Ding Jun, immediately lead people to build fortifications and defend the gap." Ye Zhan shouted hoarsely.
There was no need to defend it, the gap was broken, the Vietnamese defense line collapsed, and 2,000 cavalry galloped through the city.
Lin Zhaolong also arrived with the rest of the infantry: "Ye Zhan, how is the situation." ”
"Report sir." Ye Zhan ran over and saluted, "The gap has been held, and the cavalry is advancing." ”
"Hold on to the gap and wait for Chief Han." Lin Zhaolong gave an order, and then led the infantry to start attacking street by street.
As night fell, Han Wantao finally sat in the palace hall of Fuchun City with satisfaction.
Fuchun City was captured, and more than 100 cavalry of the Yulin Army were killed in this battle, and the infantry also had a casualty rate of nearly 200, but in any case, Fuchun City was defeated. It's just that Ruan Fulan was not found, Lin Zhaolong and Xu Tianbin were searching all over the city with people.
Xu Lang hurriedly walked in from outside: "Wan Tao, the artillery has entered the city, and the entire Fuchun City has been controlled by us." ”
"Did you inform Zeng Guangxian?"
"Noticed, there's nothing wrong with Zeng Guangxian." Xu Lang didn't see Lin Zhaolong and them, "Where did Zhaolong, Tian Bin, and Ye Zhan go?" ”
"They are looking for Nguyen Phuc Lan to gather the South Vietnamese army."
Xu Lang heard Han Wantao talk about this, pulled over a chair and sat down: "Wan Tao, how many South Vietnamese troops do you estimate we can capture this time?" ”
"I was thinking about that just now." Han Wantao smiled, "I don't care if I can catch Ruan Fulan." I think that this time we can capture at least five or six thousand South Vietnamese troops, what should we do with this group of people, give them to Nguyen Qi or keep them for ourselves. ”
"Wan Tao, why are you confused again." Xu Lang said, "This is all a source of soldiers, why send a Ruan Qi, how good it is for us to keep it ourselves." In the past few days, put them together and let Zeng Guangxian send them back to Yulin Bay first. As long as people return to Yulin Bay, Ruan Qi can't ask us anymore. ”
"But it's not good to give one to Ruan Qi." Han Wantao raised his doubts, "What if he has any contradictions with us because of this." ”
"No, let's give Fuchun to him, it's too late for him to be happy, and he won't pay attention to these things." After Xu Lang finished speaking, he added, "If you feel uneasy, you can pick one, and leave Ruan Qi with the old, weak, sick and disabled." ”
Han Wantao thought for a while: "It's okay, let's pick one first." ”
Xu Lang waved his hand, and some officers and staff officers next to him went out in a funny way, and Xu Lang said in a low voice: "Wan Tao, I have an idea, I just thought of it, I want to talk to you." ”
Han Wantao took out two cigarettes from his body: "I'm used to your thoughts, just say it." ”
"Wan Tao, the current population of Phu Xuan is also forty or fifty thousand, plus the South Vietnamese soldiers we have captured, it is almost at least fifty thousand. I want to take all these people away and leave an empty city for Zheng Jie. ”
"Leave him an empty city?" Han Wantao asked, "Where do you want to get these people, and what method do you want to use to get them to take the initiative to follow us." ”
Xu Lang took two puffs of his cigarette: "Wan Tao, do you know the Khmer Rouge?" ”
"I've heard of it." Han Wantao didn't know what Xu Lang was going to say.
"After the Khmer Rouge captured Phnom Penh, the residents of Phnom Penh received an emergency evacuation order before they had time to rejoice that the war was over. People fled to the countryside in a hurry with some belongings and without a clear goal. Three days later, Phnom Penh, with a population of 2 million, had become an empty city with fewer than 30,000 residents, only one shop, no cars, and everyone on foot. The Khmer Rouge said that this was because American planes were about to bomb it, and later said that they were afraid that there were a large number of class enemies hidden in the city. ”
"Xu Lang, what do you mean by this?" Han Wantao asked, "The Khmer Rouge I heard was about the Holocaust, do you want to learn from him?" The evacuation you are talking about killed at least 20,000 or 30,000 people. ”
"If we don't talk about it, I can't learn from him." Xu Lang waved his hand and said, "But I want to learn their methods." Let's also find someone to release a message in Phu Xuan City, saying that North Vietnam is going to take over the city, and it is likely to investigate the people related to Nguyen Phuc Lan, which is a little more serious, causing some panic. At this time, let's tell them again that Hoi An and Yulin Bay will open their doors to them. I guess at least half of them will come with us. ”
Han Wantao extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "Xu Lang, I can't be the master of this problem you said." But I would like to express my personal opinion, let's not discuss the issue of justice, let's talk about interests. If there is a rumor and panic in Fuchun, I am not in favor of it, because once there is panic, we don't know how the situation will develop. The people of Phu Xuan may follow us, but they may also flee for their lives out of the city, and they are more likely to resist us, because we are using the name of North Vietnam this time. ”
"And." Han Wantao said again, "If you really want to leave Zheng Jie an empty city, it will also have an impact on our capture of the city." ”
"You have a point." Xu Lang pondered for a moment, "But I always feel a little reluctant to give away these tens of thousands of people, we are too short of people now." ”
"I also know that we are short of people, and we will talk about this in a few days." Han Wantao asked, "Now that Fuchun has been won, what should we do next?" ”
"The main force of South Vietnam should still be confronting Nguyen Kai at the front line now, let's not worry about it for now. Let's settle down on Fuchun's side first, send the captives back, and then tell Ruan Qi that we have taken Fuchun. At the same time, talk to him about the conditions, we can give Fuchun to him, but he must give us the city. If he agrees, we will send troops from Fuchun to help him lay down the long wall of the Linghe River from behind. ”
After a few more days, the Yulin army did not care about the battle in the north, but began to solve the affairs in Fuchun City. Lin Zhaolong and Xu Tianbin captured a total of about less than 5,000 prisoners of war, and after a simple selection, 3,000 were selected and sent back to Yulin Bay by Zeng Guangxian. At the same time, he sent people to Puliange to inform Li Fuqiang of the situation in Fuchun and Hoi An, and asked Li Li Fuqiang to be prepared, find out the situation in terms of Zhancheng in advance, and start attacking Zhancheng at any time.
Xu Lang's proposal to create panic Han Wantao disagreed, but Lin Zhaolong and the others didn't have any opinions, and it was always good to get more people to go back. As for the reaction of the North Vietnamese side, everyone felt that there was no need to worry so much, although Zheng Jie kept asking the Yulin Army to behave, but it should still be satisfactory to Zheng Jie if he could destroy South Vietnam.
Since everyone has no opinion on Xu Lang's suggestion, Han Wantao also retracted his meaning. The rumors were put out, and they spread quickly. Within a few days, the entire Fuchun City knew the news that the Yulin Army was going to give Fuchun to Ruan Qi, and Ruan Qi had been rumored to be a murderous demon king in Fuchun City, and he would bloody Fuchun after he came.
Yulinwan received two more letters from Xu Lang, one for the committee and the Military Commission, and the other for Leng Tianbing. The letter to the two committees was very common, briefly introducing the current situation in Vietnam and the next plan of the New First Army, but in the letter to Leng Tianbing, Xu Lang mentioned a very important issue, that is, the upcoming Spanish massacre of Chinese in Luzon next year.
Xu Lang calculated the time in detail, and it would take until June at the earliest to capture the city and pacify South Vietnam. The joint Zheng Zhilong to capture Tsushima Island will only wait until the second half of the year, even if Tsushima Island is successfully captured, blocking Tao Min in Japan will definitely not be the final result, and the combined fleet must stay on Tsushima Island to fight Tao Min. In other words, Yulin Bay will probably not be able to send a fleet to Luzon next year to stop the massacre, and if that happens, the crossing assembly will definitely withdraw the combined fleet to Luzon south. This is tantamount to giving Japan to Tao Min, so Xu Langqian instructed Leng Tianbing to lead the General Staff to come up with a way to solve this matter. Make the importance of the situation clear to the two committees, and strive to get Qiu Peng's shipyard to launch a few more warships within a year to deal with the Spaniards next year.
Xu Lang knew that the finances were still very tight, but there was no way to do it, and there would definitely be a fierce battle with the Spaniards next year.
Leng Tianbing took a group of staff officers of the General Staff to study it, but he couldn't come up with any good solutions, so he could only submit the matter to the two committees. And attached was a proposal of the General Staff to get the Congress to approve a special fund for the construction of several more 1,000-ton warships within a year.
The cost of a thousand-ton warship is 200,000 taels of silver, and according to the plan of cold weather ice, it cannot be completed without a million. The two committees vetoed it without even thinking about it, how could there be so much money in Yulin Bay. Now with the addition of the Pearl and 30 gunboats in the East China Sea, there are already 15 warships, and if you build another five or six, it will still be a thousand-ton warship, not to mention the cost of construction, there is no money for maintenance alone every year.
But the committee also understood that it would never be possible to leave Luzon alone next year, and that if it could use this incident to drive the Spaniards out of Luzon, it would not necessarily be a good thing for the Philippines to be under direct control of Yulin Bay. Therefore, although the committee rejected the proposal of the General Staff Headquarters, it still allowed Qiu Peng to start preparations for the construction of several new warships. As for the question of money, the committee handed it over to Sun Dalei and Qiu Peng to negotiate separately.
It was already the beginning of April, and the affairs of Fuchun City were almost busy, there were about 30,000 people who were unwilling to stay here, Han Wantao asked Ye Zhan to take people to transfer these people to Hoi An first, and some of them were sent back to Yulin Bay by the navy. Li Fuqiang arrived in Fuchun, and Puliange's side had already made all preparations, just waiting for the arrival of the new army to attack the city.
Xu Lang calculated the days, Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo should be born this month. Xu Lang promised the two of them that this time they would be by their side when they had children no matter what. Xu Lang applied to Han Wantao, and he followed the ship transporting the Vietnamese back to Yulin Bay, on the one hand, to make a detailed report to his family about Vietnam, and on the other hand, to wait for his child to be born.
Han Wantao happily agreed, and he could do it by himself by cooperating with Ruan Qi to attack the Long Wall, Xu Lang left Gao Chen in Vietnam again, and Gao Chen would assist Han Wantao in the negotiation with Ruan Qi.
Xu Lang got on the boat back to Yulin Bay as he wished, and this time Xu Lang went back with Xiao Junzhe, and when he came back, he didn't know if he would take him or not, and it would depend on his parents' opinions.
Xu Lang handed over everything to Leng Tianbing on the dock as soon as he got off the boat, and he didn't go anywhere and went directly to find a horse and returned home. When Xu Lang went home, it was already evening, but there was no one at home, not even Lu Tianxiang and his wife. Xu Lang didn't know what was going on, so he could only go to Ye Sun's family next door to inquire, and when he inquired, he found out that Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo had entered the hospital two days ago and were waiting to give birth, and all the people in the family were accompanying them in the hospital.
Xu Lang went to the hospital again, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the hospital, he saw Si Qin running out of it in a hurry.
Xu Lang stopped Si Qin: "Si Qin, what are you running, where are Yiyi and Zhiruo?" ”
"Mr. Xu, when did you come back?" Si Qin was very surprised when she saw Xu Lang, "Sister Yiyi is about to give birth, I'll go find a doctor." ”
