"Come on, take Ruan Jinyong down for me, and cut off my head to show the public!" Emperor Ming Ruan Phuc ordered with a dark face.

"Ahh The civil and military officials in the main hall all exclaimed, and everyone did not expect that Ruan Fuhui would order Ruan Jinyong's head to be cut off at this time. You must know that now is the time to employ people, Ruan Fuyan is not afraid of chilling the hearts of the majority of soldiers by doing this?

"Your Majesty! The minister is wronged! Nguyen Jinyong shouted. Although, he still felt a little inexplicable, and didn't figure out why Ruan Fuxuan wanted to kill him. But if you want to survive, you have to beg for mercy. Otherwise, you're dead!

"Humph! Ruan Jinyong, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? When the Xinhua army attacked, you threw away your troops and ran back alone, nominally to report the enemy situation to me, but in fact, it was you who were afraid of the enemy and feared death! What is the use of a general like you? Come on, push it out, cut it! Emperor Ming Ruan Fuhui said in an atmosphere. At this moment, those who still wanted to intercede for Ruan Jinyong also shut up one after another. At the same time, for Ruan Fuxian, everyone is even more afraid. Ruan Jinyong also belonged to the royal family, although he was suspected of being greedy for life and afraid of death, but he was killed in this way, which made everyone feel frightened.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! The minister knew that he was wrong. Ask Your Majesty to give your ministers another chance! Nguyen Jin Dung shouted. However, the wolf-like palace guards would not heed his pleas for mercy. They only listened to Nguyen Phuc Huan's orders. Since Ruan Fuhui wants Ruan Jinyong's head, then he is dead!

Soon, Nguyen Tan Dung was dragged down and his head was cut off by the Praetorian guards. The civil and military officials in the main hall were all silent.

"Song Fuliang, I ordered, led 4 battalions of troops. Rush to the sailor camp immediately! If the Xinhua army wants to land, be sure to intercept them and buy time for the army to assemble! Nguyen Phuc Thanh ordered. Song Phuc Luong was a famous general in Vietnam. In the process of quelling the rebellion in the south, he made a lot of contributions and became one of the famous generals in Vietnam.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Song Fuliang commanded. Immediately after that, he left the main hall. Prepare to lead the army to rush to the camp of the naval division to help. Although there are 50,000 Beijing soldiers around Hue City, these Beijing soldiers are stationed in various places, and it will take time to assemble them. Emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh hoped that Song Phuc Liang could lead his army to intercept the Xinhua army, so as to buy time for the assembly of the Vietnamese army!

"From now on, Hue City is in a state of emergency! The armies began to assemble! In addition, the odd troops of the provinces were ordered to begin to assemble. Go to Hue and wait for your dispatch! Emperor Ming Emperor Nguyen Phuc Chan ordered. He knew it. This time, the Xinhua Army is menacing, and Vietnam has reached the most critical juncture, and it is necessary to do its best to defeat the Xinhua Army and thus keep Vietnam. Although he practiced a policy of seclusion in Vietnam, it did not mean that he did not understand the outside world. The rise of the new Chinese kingdom in just a few years, almost unifying the entire South Seas, made him nervous and envious at the same time. You know, this is also what he hopes to do! However, he never understood why the Xinhua Army would take the initiative to launch an attack on Vietnam. Of course, everything can be attributed to the aggressive nature of the Xinhua State. Since the establishment of Xinhua Guo, it has been constantly waging foreign wars, and finally it has the current scale!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials all replied one after another. However, although everyone seems to be a little nervous, they still have a lot of confidence in Vietnam. Emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh can lead Vietnam to glory, and he can also lead them to defeat the new Chinese kingdom!

On the seashore, the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the Xinhua Navy are still launching artillery bombardments on the battalion of the Vietnamese naval division. After half an hour of shelling, the entire battalion of the Navy Division had become a sea of fire. The warships moored on the dock were also almost destroyed. A battalion stationed here, with more than 2,500 officers and men of the Vietnamese Naval Division, suffered heavy casualties in the shelling. Although when Nguyen Tan Dung left, he asked the adjutant general to gather troops and prepare to meet the Xinhua army. But in the face of huge casualties, these Vietnamese troops have lost the courage to continue fighting. They had never seen such a fierce artillery fire, and in the face of the shells, the human body was so fragile. For the sake of their lives, everyone ran away!

At 6:50 a.m., two battalions of the Marine Corps of the Xinhua Army began their landing. Because the officers and men of the Vietnamese naval division stationed here had already fled, their landing was hardly hindered. The transport ship saw directly from the pier at the mouth of the Thuan An River. The Marines of the Xinhua Army, after disembarking, quickly took over the entire dock, and at the same time cleared the remnants of the enemy in the harbor on the one hand, and sent a vigilance force to the west on the other.

After that, the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army began to land. During the previous naval bombardment, the docks were deliberately avoided, so that the Xinhua Army could use these docks when they landed, so as to speed up the loading and unloading!

At this time, the reinforcements led by Song Phuc Liang, the Vietnamese award, were rushing to the naval camp. Because of Ruan Phuc Han's previous court meeting, it was delayed for a while. The eight-kilometer journey takes about an hour for the infantry. Therefore, by the time Song Fuliang led his army to arrive, the Marines of the Xinhua Army had already cleared the port and established a blocking position a kilometer west of the port. The 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army is also in the process of landing.

At 7:35 a.m., the 2nd Battalion of the Marines of the Xinhua Army and the Vietnamese army encountered. One of the vanguard units of the Vietnamese army was blocked by the Xinhua army, suffered heavy losses, and had to retreat. One guard of the Vietnamese army, a total of five hundred people, divided into ten teams, fifty people!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The crisp sound of gunfire rang out in the early morning, and it was heard far, far away. The crisp sound like fried beans, the Vietnamese troops stood up, like the sound of urging life. The shotguns used by the Vietnamese army have a range of less than a hundred meters! However, when they rushed to a position of only more than two hundred meters from the Xinhua army, the Xinhua army had already opened fire. People kept being shot and fell to the ground, which made the Vietnamese army more and more frightened!

"Oh my God! How can their rifles have such a long range? "Each guard of the Vietnamese army is equipped with 200 bird guns, and the rest of the soldiers are equipped with broadswords and spears, compared with the Xinhua army, this is really weak!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Mortars from the 2nd Battalion of the Marine Corps of the Xinhua Army also began to bombard, and each battalion of the Xinhua Army, whether it is the army or the navy, is equipped with ten mortars. Although the mortar is not very powerful, it has a fast rate of fire, light weight, and is easy to carry, and has become the favorite infantry support firepower of the Xinhua Army!

Dense artillery shells exploded in the ranks of the Vietnamese army, scattering shrapnel and wantonly harvesting lives. No matter how weak the mortar is, it is still fatal against an infantry without any cover!

The Vietnamese army had never suffered such a fierce fire blow, so much so that in less than ten minutes, this guard, who served as the vanguard, lost more than half! The remaining troops threw away their weapons one after another and fled in disarray.

"What's going on? How could it be like this? When Song Fuliang led his army and encountered the retreating troops, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. The elite Vietnamese soldiers actually became like this, which was really unexpected to him!

"General! The artillery fire of the Xinhua army is too fierce, their rifles have an extremely long range, and we are not their opponents at all! A Vietnamese army officer distinguished.

"Humph! The guy who bewitches the crowd, pull it down and cut it down! Song Fuliang ordered with a dark face. He didn't want the morale of his troops to suffer because of this.

At 7:50, Song Fuliang led his army to begin an attack on the positions of the Xinhua army. Song Fuliang's army was less than 10,000 people. But the Xinhua Army, there is only one battalion, 750 people! The 1st Brigade of the Army is still disembarking, and so far only two infantry battalions have disembarked and are on their way. However, Major General Sun Hao, chief of operations of the General Staff of the Xinhua Army, believed that close to one battalion would be enough to resist the attack of the Vietnamese army! Not to mention, there is also the support of the warships of the Navy.

At this moment, the warships of the Navy's Second Fleet and Fourth Fleet had already sailed to a place only 500 meters away from the inner shore. The ship's guns are enough to include the front-line positions of the Xinhua Army!

"Attack!" When Song Phuc Luong ordered the attack, thousands of Vietnamese troops charged. Song Fuliang knew that the Xinhua army was too strong, so he could only defeat the Xinhua army in one go and drive them back to the sea. Otherwise, once the Xinhua army gains a firm foothold, it will be even more difficult for the Vietnamese army to defeat the Xinhua country!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Mortars from the 2nd Battalion of the Marine Corps of the Xinhua Army opened fire first. Ten Thunderbolt mortars, start firing at maximum rate of fire! Dense shells fell into the ranks of the Vietnamese troops, blowing up patches of blanks. However, the attacking Vietnamese troops were so numerous that they could not be suppressed by just ten mortars.

But it's still there, and the warships on the sea are also firing! The artillery fire of 24 'Shark-class' cruisers is not comparable to that of ten mortars. In an instant, the front of the Xinhua Army's position was turned into a sea of fire. In order not to inadvertently injure them, the target of the naval shelling was placed in an area about 500 meters in front of the position of the Xinhua Army. This directly caused the Vietnamese troops who rushed into that area to be torn to shreds!

The few Vietnamese soldiers who narrowly escaped the shelling area were also shot with rifles by the Xinhua Army marines on the position! The attack of tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops could not defeat even a battalion of Xinhua Army marines, let alone the large forces of the Xinhua Army still landing! In front of the Xinhua Army, the Vietnamese army is simply vulnerable! (To be continued......)
