Sun Kewang launched a campaign to seize Hanoi, the Western Army participated in the battle, close to 120,000 people, in addition to the main force besieging Hanwai, Liu Zongmin also led a group of people to the south, containing the warlord Nguyen Lord in the south of Hou Li, preventing the Nguyen clan from raising troops to Qin Wang.

Although Lord Zheng and Lord Ruan belong to a hostile relationship, after all, the two major forces are both courtiers of Hou Li, and to a certain extent, the interests of the two parties are the same, so Sun Kewang followed the advice of the Wu clan and sent a team of soldiers and horses to monitor.

Here we can see the importance of the Belt and Road Party, and the selection of the Belt and Road Party also needs to have some level, and it is necessary to choose those who have some strength and have been suppressed, or who have the ability but lack the will.

Annam used to be a hegemon on the Indochina Peninsula, and it was able to compete with another small overlord, the Donghu Dynasty, but at this time, after all, it had fallen into division, and the glory was not there.

Although Sun Kewang is a loser in the struggle for hegemony, after all, he has experienced the cruel elimination of the Central Plains, and the army has been in battle for a long time, and he does not look at the combat strength, just looking at the size of the army, it is enough to scare the small state in the southeast to death.

In the southeast, I am afraid that except for the little overlord Donghu Kingdom, no one can pull out more than 100,000 troops at every turn.

In fact, if the Central Plains forces want to destroy Annan, they can still destroy it.

The key is that Annan is not so important to the Central Plains, the cost of occupation is too high, and the central government does not have the energy to continue to pay attention to the situation in Annan, and Annan is waiting for you to pay attention, he will come to the matter, and he will fight a guerrilla here, and the court will suffer a few defeats.

But if you really want to fight it, the army arrives, divide five by two, and immediately beat him out of the.

At this time, on the city wall of Hanoi, the cavalry roared, the rangers shuttled, and the camps of the western army were covered with the wilderness, with the howling of people and the neighing of horses and the sound of trumpets and drums.

After the Western Army had a full meal in the morning, a large number of foot soldiers pushed the siege equipment out of the camp, waiting for Sun Kewang's general order.

On the city of Hanoi, the remnants of Lord Truong's soldiers were on standby, and the officers shouted loudly, directing the people to carry earth, stones, and wood.

Under the banner of the king, Sun Kewang stood on horseback, and there were many generals behind him, all of whom were generals who fought in the sea of corpses and blood.

In history, it was the remnants of this Western Army that fought with the Qing army in the southwest region for nearly 20 years, and finally suffered a miserable defeat because of infighting.

Sun Kewang scanned Hanoi City with a clairvoyant mirror and said to the generals: "Hmph! Zheng Jun relied on a few earthen cannons and also wanted to defend the city. ”

Compared with the Western Wei Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Sun Kewang was relatively poor, but he occupied a good place, that is, Yunnan.

There are abundant copper and iron resources, Sun Kewang sold copper and iron to the Western Wei Dynasty at the same time, he also opened a furnace to cast firearms, and already had a firearms battalion of more than 3,000 people, operating more than 30 artillery pieces and more than 2,000 birds.

At this time, he put down the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the thirty cannons lined up in front of the battle, aimed at the gate of Hanoi City, and waved his hand: "Let's start!" ”

A drum sounded in the army, a loud bang on the artillery array, and a cannon slammed back, spewing out orange-red flames, raising a cloud of white smoke, and a black iron bullet, flashed in the air, shot straight at the city wall, and fell in front of the city gate, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

The artillery of the Western Army is very similar to the copper cannon of the Wei Army, and they are all copper cannons, but because of the process, the cannon wall is thicker, so the same cannonball is fired, and the artillery of the Western Army is one size larger.

At this time, the first shot missed, and the gunner immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and fired again. This time it hit the city wall directly, smashing a depression in the city wall, and Zheng Jun's loud exclamation came from the head of the city.

Yunnan-Guizhou is mountainous, and the Indochina Peninsula is also densely wooded, which is not suitable for the Hongyi artillery movement, so the artillery of the Western Army can only fire a maximum of six pounds of shells.

At this time, Sun Kewang was looking at the artillery of the Western Army with more interest, venting shells to the city of Hanoi, a deafening sound broke out on the artillery array, thick white smoke covered the long front, the artillery retreated, one by one iron bullets rushed out of the cannon port and smashed into the city wall, the city was dusty, countless gravel rose into the air, fell like hail, and the masonry collapsed in the city, mixed with many screams and panicked cries.

These equipment of the Western Army are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Wei army, but on the Indochina Peninsula, they are very old.

For a while, Sun Kewang's self-confidence lost in Middle-earth was found in the small state of the southeast, "It's not difficult, let's get ready to go to the city for the New Year!" ”

At this time, Prime Minister Xu Yixian suddenly came out of the camp, beat his horse over, and reported: "King, Niu Jinxing sent the will of the King of Western Wei!" ”

"Will? Gao Yihuan really treats himself as a garlic! Sun Kewang said with a sneer, but after all, Western Wei was powerful, so he continued: "What about things? ”

Xu Yixian took out a piece of yellow silk and handed it to Sun Kewang, who took it, unfolded it, frowned, and said: "Gao Lao Er asked this king to attack the Ming army and support this king to seize Guangzhou!" What is the heart of this Henan turtle Sun An? ”

Xu Yixian said: "The minister heard that the northern expedition of the army was blocked and withdrew to Huainan, while the Western Wei was still fighting fiercely with the Qing army in Hedong. Gao Yihuan gave this will, perhaps because the Western Wei Dynasty was worried that the Ming army would reap the benefits of the fish, so we would let us contain the Ming army. In this way, the Western Wei can fight a decisive battle with the Qing with peace of mind, and after the victory, they can go south to level the Southern Ming in one fell swoop. ”

"Gao Er's wishful thinking is really clanging. Guisun asked this king to fight the small state in the southeast, and this king fought the small state in the southeast, and let the king attack the Ming army, so that the king had to turn around and attack the Ming army? What does Gao Lao Er think of this king? Sun Kewang casually threw the yellow silk to Xu Yixian, and said unhappily: "Hmph! Does he really think of this king as one of his dogs? It's just too deceitful! ”

Today is different from the past, Sun Kewang's food was stuck by Gao Yihuan's neck, the Western Army can quickly occupy Yunnan and Guizhou, and gain a firm foothold, all relying on the food support of Sichuan, what Sun Kewang did at that time, he still had to take care of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he couldn't make Big Brother unhappy.

Now the Western Army took control of the northern part of Annam, gained the nominal submission of the southern state, and obtained a large tract of land suitable for cultivation.

Sun Kewang conducted an investigation in northern Vietnam, where there was abundant precipitation and sunshine, and rice could be harvested three times a year, but the man who was supposed to be the main force of labor was lazy.

Sun Kewang had already decided to send people to manage these places, and in terms of farming and intensive cultivation, who could compare to the Han people.

If Hanoi is taken this time, Sun Kewang is confident that he will get rid of his dependence on Western Wei grain when the summer harvest is next year.

Without the restraint of this rope, the big brother of the Western Wei Dynasty will naturally become the second brother of Gao.

Xu Yixian said: "The king, the minister also feels that there is no need to listen to the orders of the king of Western Wei. Looking at the situation in the Central Plains, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will inevitably lose first, and then the Ming and Wei will fight, and we will help the Western Wei to weaken the Southern Ming, which is actually not beneficial to our Great West. It is best for them to form the Northern and Southern Dynasties, while our Daxi is strong in the southeast, waiting for the opportunity, uniting with the Ming Dynasty, retaking Sichuan, and forming a strong momentum! ”

"Then ignore the second brother Gao, and he can't do anything to this king!" Sun Kewang nodded and agreed with Xu Yixian's analysis, but then smashed his mouth and said with some regret: "However, Guangzhou is rich and has a large population, if you can get it, it is actually a good thing to be able to expand with this king in the southeast!" ”

Although the land of Yungui is vast, the population is too small, and if Sun Kewang wants to occupy the southeast, he must move his own people over, so he is still very coveted by Liangguang.

"There's no way around it, right now it's attacking Thang Long City, and the king can't give up halfway!" Xu Yixian said.

Sun Kewang nodded regretfully, and then suddenly smiled: "That gentleman replied to Niu Jinxing like this, saying that this king will follow the will of King Wei, attack the Ming army, and capture Liangguang." However, our army's equipment is backward, and there is a shortage of equipment, grain and grass, so please ask King Wei to allocate a batch of grain and grass equipment, and it is best to give us drawings and craftsmen, so that we can cast a batch of firearms by ourselves to fight against the Ming army. ”

"The king is clever!" Xu Yixian couldn't help but praise.

Sun Kewang smiled and said: "This is also no way, this king must be wise in this position!" ”
