Thank you for your kind request, Winged Demon's vest, 408770623, pujianguo, X you M, Professor No. 1, I am a boy from Tangmen, cheong, Sandaofeng, Yan Huangzi, Krupp, waiting for your monthly pass for the next century!
Emperor Ming Ruan Fuhui was silent, he knew that Fan Wendian was persuading him to prepare for the worst! In case Hue City can't stand it, to be exact, it is very likely that it can't hold it and send a few members of the royal family away, so that it can also leave a few seeds for the Nguyen Dynasty and create an opportunity for a comeback! If this can't be done, then this time the Nguyen Dynasty will really be destroyed!
"Alright, just do as you say!" Ruan Fuyan said, he knew that there was no way to do it, so he could only think about it like this! The Xinhua army was menacing, and the Vietnamese army could not resist it at all. The fall of Hue City, the destruction of Vietnam, is already inevitable! However, if his descendants are capable, there may be a chance to rise again. After all, the Nguyen family also has a high prestige in the hearts of the Vietnamese people!
"Your Majesty, the generals of the Xinhua Army, warn us that we should surrender immediately and lay down our arms! Otherwise, they will go on a killing spree in Vietnam, just as they did against us as they did against the natives of the South Seas! Li Wende said suddenly.
Suddenly, there was silence all around. Everyone, including Ruan Fuxian, suddenly felt a chill rise from the depths of their hearts. Isn't that why the Xinhua Army actually intends to deal with the Vietnamese in the same way that it does with the natives of Nanyang. The Vietnamese will die this time! If you want to drive out the Xinhua Army, it will inevitably take a long war! If the Xinhua Army kills in Vietnam, how many Vietnamese will be left? The tragic plight of the natives of the South Seas. Everyone has heard of it. Although it is still uncertain how many Nanyang natives died at the hands of the Xinhua Army, there must be many, many more! The total number of natives of all ethnic groups in Nanyang is at least more than 20 million! Although there are only more than one million people in Xinhua, they do not regard those natives as human beings at all, the natives of Nanyang. It's just a slave of the new country, or a livestock! None of them had any doubts that Xinhua Guo would do that if he was sure of doing that. What is the difference between the Vietnamese and the Nanyang aborigines?
"Nope! Those despicable and shameless Chinese, how can they do this! Do they think that killing can make us afraid? It's absolutely impossible! The Vietnamese will not be afraid, Vietnam will not perish! Nguyen Phuc Hung yelled like crazy!
Brutal facts. It's hard to accept! For an emperor like Nguyen Phuc Thanh. He didn't want to admit that the powerful empire he had built would be destroyed! In addition, Xinhua actually wanted to destroy the entire Vietnamese nation, which made him even more unbelievable. However, even so, he will not give up hope! He firmly believes that as long as the struggle continues. His descendants will make a comeback one day!
Nguyen Phuc Thanh ordered. The army in Hue City prepared to fight to the death with the Xinhua army. At the same time, he sent his sons to northern or southern Vietnam, far away from Hue City, at night. In those areas, there are also officials and generals loyal to the Nguyen Dynasty, and with their assistance, the Nguyen Dynasty will have a chance to rise again sooner or later! Although the Xinhua army threatened to kill all the Vietnamese who resisted, Nguyen Phuc Thanh believed that the Vietnamese were not as stupid as the natives of the South Seas, and that they would survive! In the end, it must be Xinhuaguo that fails!
Later, Nguyen Phuc Thanh summoned his eldest son, Nguyen Phuc Thanh, who he didn't usually treat, but among his many sons, he was the only one who had any hope of shouldering the task of Vietnam's revival! Most of the other sons are too young and lack of ability.
"I know that you have always been very dissatisfied with me." Looking at Ruan Fuxuan, Ruan Fuxuan said word by word.
"Erchen doesn't dare!" Changqing Gong Ruan Fuxuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to show it. Otherwise, he is dead. There is no family affection in the royal family, and between father and son, for the sake of the throne, cannibalism often happens.
"Alright, let's not talk about that! This time, Vietnam is in great danger. The Xinhua army has captured part of Hue City, and after dawn, they will intensify their attack! The strength of the Xinhua Army has exceeded our expectations! In a short period of time, Vietnam simply does not have the strength to confront Xinhua State! I will send someone to send you out of Hue City, to Hanoi, to gather the old troops of the Nguyen Dynasty, and continue to fight against the Xinhua Kingdom! With the support of the broad masses of the people, I believe that the victory will definitely be ours! Ruan Phuc Tan admonished.
"But Father, why don't you leave Hue City?" Ruan Phuc Xuan asked. There is no doubt that Nguyen Phuc Hyun's reputation among the people is even higher, and if he comes forward, he will definitely get more people's response!
"I'm too old to take on such a heavy responsibility anymore! I hope you won't let me down! Ruan Fuxuan stared at Ruan Fuxuan and said.
"Yes, father, the son will do his best!" Ruan Fuxuan nodded. However, deep down in his heart, it was so bitter. Originally, he thought that he could inherit a powerful empire, but he didn't expect that now is the most dangerous time for the empire. The Xinhua Army is so powerful, even if he can escape from Hue City, will I be able to defeat the Xinhua Army? Even he himself did not dare to guarantee this.
"Listen, your mission is to lead Vietnam to defeat the new country! When the time comes, you will be a greater emperor than I am! Nguyen Phuc Hyun said. He knew that Ruan Phuc Xuan had always regarded him as a target to surpass.
"Father, the son of the minister knows, don't worry, the son will definitely succeed!" Ruan Fuxuan said with a firm gaze.
That night, the Vietnamese palace guards dispersed into more than a dozen units, and with Nguyen Phuc Huan's sons, they tried to break through the encirclement of the Xinhua army and escape from Hue City in order to make a comeback. However, the encirclement of the Xinhua army was not so easy to break through, even at night, the firepower advantage of the Xinhua army could not be brought into play, but most of the Vietnamese palace guards were killed, and those sons of Nguyen Phuc Hang were also killed! Only a handful of people managed to escape. Among them, including Chang Thanh Gong Nguyen Phuc Thanh. In the absence of other means, Nguyen Phuc Thanh had to put his hope on Nguyen Phuc Thanh, so the royal guards sent to protect Nguyen Phuc Thanh, although not the largest number, were the best in quality, to ensure that Nguyen Phuc Thanh could successfully escape. The other princes are more like bait!
Although Ruan Fuhui left a back hand, this is harmless for the Xinhua Army at all! In the battle of Hue City, the main force of the Vietnamese army would be wiped out. When the time comes, relying on the local troops in the provinces, perhaps the militias that have not been formally trained, it will be almost impossible for the Vietnamese to turn defeat into victory. Not everyone will be able to have the same ability and courage as the leaders of our party in later generations!
On the morning of June 20, the Xinhua Army once again launched a fierce attack on Hue City, with the 2nd and 9th Brigades committing the main forces to attack the rest of Hue City under the cover of artillery. The heavy artillery brigade and 4 artillery battalions belonging to the brigade, with a total of more than 180 cannons, carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of Hue City. In the overwhelming shells, the buildings of Hue City gradually fell into ruins. Whether it is a magnificent palace, a stately temple, or a low-rise house, there is no escape from the fate of destruction. The heavy shelling of the Xinhua Army, regardless of casualties, caused huge casualties to Vietnamese civilians living in Hue City. Hue City had a total of 300,000 civilians, and the Xinhua army suddenly launched a surprise attack and surrounded Hue City, so that most of these civilians remained in the city. The shells did not have eyes, and these Vietnamese suffered heavy casualties in the shelling of the Xinhua army.
The more than 20,000 elite troops, which were pinned on by the Vietnamese emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh, did not reverse the situation. These armies, which had lost their fighting spirit, were easily defeated by the Xinhua army! Even though their numbers were more than twice that of the remnants of the attacking Xinhua Army, they were defeated in the face of the attack of the Xinhua Army!
At noon on June 20, Vietnamese general Song Phuc Luong was killed in battle. He was a valiant soldier who commanded the attack even after being shot several times, and eventually died of blood loss.
After the death of Song Fuliang, Vietnamese soldiers began to surrender to the Xinhua army. Although the Vietnamese court declared to the soldiers that the Xinhua army was very vicious, even if it surrendered to the Xinhua army, it would eventually become a slave of the Xinhua country and be sent to work in the mines until they died of exhaustion. They hoped that this would stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, so that they could fight the Xinhua army to the end. However, in the face of huge casualties, the soldiers were very afraid, even if the fate of Zhilu Dao in the future would not be very good, but even if he could survive for a while, it would be worth it!
In the evening of the same day, the fighting ceased temporarily, and by this time, most of Hue City had fallen under the control of the Xinhua army. The 1st and 10th Brigades, which surrounded Hue City, also routed several local Vietnamese forces that attempted to rescue Hue City.
At this point in the battle, there is no suspense left! At most, there will be one day before Hue City will fall completely. Vietnam, known as the number one power in the Indochina Peninsula, will perish!
That night, a fire broke out in the Royal Palace of Vietnam. Seeing that the defeat was assured, and at the same time not wanting to be humiliated as a prisoner of the Xinhua Army, the Vietnamese emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh simply set fire to the palace and set himself on fire. Even with it, many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were burned to death. Among the civil and military officials in Vietnam, there are some people with temperament who accompanied Nguyen Phuc Thanh to his death, such as Pham Van Dian and others.
Before Emperor Nguyen Phuc Huong was engulfed in flames, he was still chanting "Vietnam will not die!" In addition to him, his sons can make a comeback! (To be continued......)
