Sun Kewang decided to ignore Gao Yihuan's instructions and conquer North Vietnam first to strengthen his strength.

At this time, the population controlled by the Great Western Kingdom was too small, and if it was able to conquer Annam, the population of the Great Western Kingdom would increase by three million, as well as a large area of fertile land.

In Sun Kewang's view, with population and food, the Great Western Kingdom has the potential for war and the capital to compete for hegemony.

At this time, Sun Kewang had an army of 100,000 to attack around Thang Long, and he was bound to take this place and establish a hegemony in the southwest.

But what he didn't know was that because of the invasion of the Western army, the original balance on the Indochina Peninsula was broken, and the Taungoo (Burma) in the west was already hostile to him.

This original King Sun is domineering and unreasonable, destroys the country for no reason, and forces other countries to be vassals, which can be said to be too unChinese, and does not have the appearance of a person from the Celestial Empire.

In the Nanyue region, Lord Nguyen, who was originally incompatible with Lord Zheng, after receiving the help of the Emperor of the Li Dynasty, thought twice about avoiding the death of his lips and teeth, and at the same time wanted to take the opportunity to replace Lord Zheng, so he decided to go north to King Qin.

At this time, the Nguyen regime had been passed down to the fifth generation, and Nguyen Phuc Binh, who had just taken over the throne, was preparing to take revenge and start a career.

When Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital, returned to Hanoi and made him king Qin in the name of the emperor of the Li Dynasty, he felt that the opportunity had come, mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses, and hurried north.

In fact, after he ascended the throne, he began to plan a counteroffensive against Zheng Zhu, preparing to recapture Quang Binh and Ha Jing, which were occupied by Zheng Zhu.

Now Zheng Jie is asking him for help, which is simply sending him a pillow, and Zheng Jie is afraid that Ruan Jun will not come, so he also conceals some realities, and does not truthfully inform Ruan Fu of the real strength of the Western Army.

Thanh Hoa City in the central region of Vietnam is the old nest of Zheng Jie, the king of Zheng Zhuqing, Liu Zongmin led 20,000 partial divisions, all the way to Thanh Hoa City, only to suffer fierce resistance.

At this time, Liu Zongmin saw the soldiers besieging the city, who were repulsed by the defenders, the muscles on his face twitched, and he scolded, "If there are cannons and siege equipment, Lao Tzu will definitely be able to break this city!" Saying that, he turned his head and ordered: "Order the soldiers to make stone throwers and ladders, and capture the city for three days without sealing the sword!" ”

After saying that, Liu Zongmin turned around and entered a simple tent supported by four sticks and pulled a piece of cloth on it.

At this time, the goose feathers and snow were flying in the Central Plains, but Guangnan was in the scorching heat, and Liu Zongmin had been in the south for almost two years, but he was still a little unaccustomed.

At this time, he was sitting in the shade of the tent, and two personal soldiers were fanning him with two leaves, and suddenly a general ran over, "Dashuai, I found more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the south, and they were coming to the north." ”

Liu Zongmin frowned, and asked the general next to him: "Isn't it, what kind of bird Ruan's people have arrived?" ”

Wu Gongbi of Xuanguang Town said in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "Dashuai, there are more than 10,000 people, then it can be determined that it is Ruan Fuwei's people!" ”

Unlike the Central Plains Dynasty, which had tens of thousands of troops at every turn, on the Indochina Peninsula, more than 10,000 people can be pulled, even if it is a prince, and there are only a handful.

"Okay, melon skin is not small, he ran so far to find death!" Liu Zongmin stood up and looked at Qinghua City in the distance, with a sneer on his face, "Order the brothers to be busy building equipment, Ma Chongxi, you take the people of your headquarters to play more flags in the forest and monitor the city, and the others will go south with the commander to kill the Ruan army!" ”

"Yes!" The generals clenched their fists.

At that moment, Liu Zongmin took the helmet from the soldier's hand, and walked out, when he walked in front of Wu Gongyi, he suddenly stopped, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a northern Shaanxi accent: "If you want to mix well in Daxi, you have to learn Chinese well!" ”

After speaking, Liu Zongmin walked out of the big tent, ordered his troops and horses, and prepared to meet the Ruan army.

Thirty miles south of Thanh Hoa City, the Western Army scouts found the Nguyen army marching north, Liu Zongmin left 3,000 soldiers and horses to monitor the Zheng army that confused Thanh Hoa City, and led more than 17,000 people south.

Liu Zongmin did not take Ruan's army in his eyes, the army was mighty and descending, Ruan Phuc was a little shocked when he found nearly 20,000 Western troops, and stopped to line up first, waiting for the arrival of the Western army.

Half an hour later, the forwards of the two armies appeared in each other's field of vision, and as soon as the two sides encountered, the Ruan army was killed by the scout horse army of the western army.

In the information provided by Zheng Jie, it was a rogue from the Ming Dynasty who raided the Li Dynasty, and they were chased by the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty and had no way to escape, so they fled into the Li Dynasty, and Zheng Jie was also defeated because of carelessness, and this rogue actually had no strength.

Ruan Fuwei looked at the western army on the opposite side, all over the mountains, and slowly pressed towards him, and immediately understood that he was being yin by Zheng Zhuyin, and he was a little frightened.

At this time, the Western Sergeant with swords, spears, bows and arrows, wearing loess-colored armor, and holding a turban on his head, followed the military flag and marched forward in the waist-high weeds.

At this time, he glanced back at the war elephants behind him, and a hundred Hongmaoyi wearing silver cuirasses, holding firearms, and dragging a cannon, before he calmed down a little.

The Dutch were active in Nam Duong and had exchanges with Annam, and the area controlled by the Nguyen clan was an important supply point on the South China Sea route.

Most of the merchant ships from China to Malacca and Batavia needed to supply fresh water and food from Champa, and Nguyen had early contact with the Dutch.

These more than 100 Dutchmen were originally invited by him to prepare to deal with Lord Zheng, but he didn't expect to catch up with the emperor of the Li Dynasty and let him be the king of Qin, so he brought these Dutchmen over.

"Quick! Organize formations on the spot! The strength of the Western Army far exceeded what he had encountered, and Nguyen Phuc couldn't help but roar.

At this time, Liu Zongmin also reined in his war horse and took out a clairvoyant mirror to observe the Ruan army, he saw that most of the enemy soldiers were wearing cloth clothes, and their weapons were just simple swords and spears, which were much more shabby than the Western Army, and his face showed contempt, and he dared to come to death with this strength.

Liu Zongmin continued to observe, and soon he saw where the confidence of the Ruan army was, which should be the thirty war elephants of the Chinese army.

Wait, who are they? Liu Zongmin was about to collect the clairvoyant mirror, and suddenly found that in the stroke of Sergeant Zheng, there was a small setback wearing strange armor and a white face like white paper, and he was slightly stunned and jumped, "Straight to your mother, in broad daylight, what the hell is that?" ”

"It's a red-haired ghost, a Yiren from the sea!" Wu Gongbi explained.

When Liu Zongmin heard him say this, he remembered that when the Shun army conquered Beijing, it was said that there were red-haired ghosts in Beijing, but Liu Zongmin had never seen it.

At this time, Liu Zongmin knew that the other party was a human and not a ghost, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Shocking Lao Tzu jumped, and I will destroy these white ghosts later!" ”
