Vietnam's naval division had only three battalions, each battalion divided into five guards, with a total of more than 2,500 men and more than 50 large and small warships. Of course, these naval warships are almost all small ships with a displacement of tens of tons to a hundred tons. It simply cannot be compared with the 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy. The guns on the warship are all bronze cannons. They are better at fighting broadside battles than artillery battles!

Three battalions of the Vietnamese army's naval division were stationed in Hue, a hundred kilometers south of Da Nang, and in Hanoi in the north. to defend Vietnam's coastline. It's just that Vietnam now has almost no enemies. In addition to Thailand to the west, China to the north was in the midst of the Manchu government's seclusion. As for the Western colonizers, with the defeat of Spain and the Netherlands by the Xinhua State, the British also stopped further expansion. So, Vietnam had few enemies. This makes Vietnam, almost defenseless!

At 6:15 a.m. on June 18, a total of 24 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Xinhua Navy began to approach the coast of Hue. The battalion of the Vietnamese sailors was encamped at the mouth of the Thuan An River. As the capital of Vietnam, Hue's defense is still good. There were sailors as a defense on the sea. At the same time, the army also has elite Beijing soldiers, a total of 20 battalions, more than 50,000 people. Such troops. In the face of the enemy, it is enough to protect the safety of Hue. Of course, this refers to the enemy in general, and not to resemble the Xinhua Army, which is progressing towards modernization!

When the 24 'Shark-class' cruisers sailed less than three kilometers from the camp of the Vietnamese sailors, they were still not discovered. Lazy Vietnamese, snoring and sleeping. Only those fishermen. I started to get up one after another, ready to start the day's work. But what happened today. Destined to be something they will never forget!

"Fire!" On the cruiser No. 21, the commander of the Second Fleet, Brigadier General Lu Haipeng, gave the order to open fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Four 75-mm naval guns on the left side of the battleship, plus four 105-mm naval guns in the bow and stern, opened fire at the same time. Huge recoil. Directly pushed the battleship out of the ruin. Translated almost half a meter on the surface of the sea. Fortunately, the keels of the 'Shark-class' cruisers have been specially reinforced, otherwise, a few more salvos may have disintegrated the battleship.

The other 11 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Second Fleet also fired with the flagship. The 12 Shark-class cruisers of the Fourth Fleet joined in two minutes later. 24 'Shark-class' cruisers, a total of 192 cannons were hit. Such a fierce artillery fire almost instantly bombarded the battalion of the Vietnamese naval division into a sea of fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shell explosions. Wooden houses were blown up and then blaze. The warships moored in the harbor of the naval battalion. It is also the target of the Xinhua Navy's key attack. Those small boats that were tethered to the dock had almost no resistance in the face of the heavy shelling of the Xinhua Navy, and often a single shell was enough to tear a warship apart. In particular, the shells of 105-mm naval guns were enough to directly destroy any of the battlefields of the Vietnamese naval division!

Countless Vietnamese sailors came out of the barracks and watched all this blankly. Most of them don't know what happened to Lu Dao. For what is good, when you wake up, you will become like this!

"Enemy attack! Damn, who is the enemy? Thai, or foreigner? Sailor General Nguyen Jinyong rushed out of his dormitory wearing his armor and asked loudly. There is no doubt that the heavy shelling has shown that they were under a surprise attack from the enemy. However, we must first find out who the enemy is!

"General! The enemy is from the sea! From the flags on their warships, it shows that they are the navy of the new Chinese country! A low-ranking officer came to Ruan Jinyong's side and reported to him.

"Xinhuaguo? Damn, we have no grievances with Xinhua Kingdom, why do they want to attack us? Nguyen Jinyong was taken aback. As one of the three major generals of the Vietnamese Navy, he knew more about Xinhua than most people in Vietnam. The Xinhua Navy was a ruthless character that even the Spanish Expeditionary Fleet could defeat. Vietnamese sailors are not enough to see in front of others!

Although, I can't figure out why the Xinhua Navy will launch a surprise attack on them. However, this is no longer the time to talk about this! Nguyen Tan Dung organized an army in the hope of resisting the attack of the Xinhua navy. On the other hand, he personally rushed to Hue to prepare to report to Emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh. The sudden attack of Xinhuaguo, this is a big deal! Although Vietnam is strong, it is difficult to say whether it can defeat Xinhua State. Such a major event has to be decided by Emperor Ruan Fuxuan. In addition, Nguyen Tan Yong knew that the strength of the Vietnamese sailors alone could not stop the invasion of the Xinhua army. Now this place has become a dangerous place, and if you continue to stay here, you will lose your life. On the pretext of telling Emperor Nguyen Phuc Xuan, you can escape from here so as not to lose your life!

The camp is only 8 kilometers away from Hue, and it only takes more than ten minutes to get a fast horse. Nguyen Tan Dung left his lieutenant general to lead the army to prepare to resist the invasion of the Xinhua army, and rushed to the palace himself to inform Emperor Nguyen Phuc Xuan of the news of the invasion of the new Chinese army.

In fact, when the explosion sounded, Nguyen Phuc Yen was awakened. Older people have very light sleep. Nguyen Phuc Hung is only 48 years old this year, but because of overwork and the pleasures of the harem, he looks no different from a person in his sixties, and his hair and beard have turned gray.

When the shell exploded, Ruan Phuc Xuan immediately opened his eyes, pushed the concubines beside him aside, quickly sat up, and shouted outside the dormitory: "What happened? Isn't that rebel rebelling! ”

Nguyen Phuc Huan's first reaction was that the emperor's eldest son, Nguyen Phuc Huh, launched a mutiny and wanted to seize the throne. After all, he has not established a crown prince for a long time, which makes Ruan Fuxuan feel dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the explosion is coming from the seaside! Not the Duke of Chang Khanh (the emperor's eldest son, Nguyen Phuc Thanh, was named the Duke of Chang Khanh)! One of the guards reported,

"Check! Check it out for me right away! What the hell is going on! It wasn't the emperor's eldest son, Nguyen Phuc Xuan, who caused Xiao Wall, which made Ruan Phuc Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that something would happen to kill each other. Now it seems that it was a foreign invasion. But where will it be? Thailand is still the mourners and Zhenla people who were wiped out. However, the continuous explosions made Ruan Phuc Han's heart continue to sink, whether it is the Thais, or the perished Ailao and Zhenla, they definitely do not have this strength! In the whole Nanyang, or the East, in addition to foreigners, only the newly rising Xinhua has this strength! But why would they be enemies of Vietnam? Nguyen Phuc Thanh also couldn't figure it out, Vietnam and them have no grievances!

With the help of the concubines, Ruan Fuyan put on the dragon robe and walked out of the dormitory. Explosions continued to be heard in the east, causing the entire city of Hue to fall into a panic. Hue is so close to the sea that the incessant explosions can be heard clearly.

"Order all the troops, go into combat readiness, and prepare to meet the enemy!" Emperor Ming Emperor Nguyen Phuc Chan ordered. At the critical moment, the majesty of his generation of heroes was fully revealed.

Around Hue City, there are a total of 50,000 troops, and they are the most elite Beijing soldiers in Vietnam, and they are the absolute main force of the Vietnamese army. This is where Emperor Nguyen Phuc Hyun's confidence lies! Even in the face of a strong enemy, Emperor Ming Ming believed that with 50,000 Beijing soldiers, it was enough to defeat the enemy.

Soon, Vietnam's civil and military ministers gathered at the palace, although they did not know exactly where the enemy had called. But, they know, this is a dangerous time. It can be seen from the heavy shelling of the enemy that this time the enemy can be described as menacing.

"Your Majesty, General Ruan Jinyong of the Navy Division asks to see you!" At this time, the voice of the guards sounded outside the main hall.

"Xuan!" Ruan Fuyan said with a dark face. The water division was attacked, but Nguyen Tan Dung ran here, as the general of the water division. With Ruan Fuxuan's cleverness, naturally what idea did Ruan Jinyong have!

"Your Majesty! The naval battalion was attacked by the new country! On the sea, there are twenty-four huge ships! Under the heavy shelling of the Xinhua Army, we suffered heavy losses! The battalion of the Navy Division could not resist the attack of the Xinhua Army at all, and I implore His Majesty to send reinforcements to support immediately! Ruan Jinyong knelt on the ground and said to Ruan Phuc Thanh.

"How many warships are there besides the giant ships?" Ruan Phuc Yan asked.

"This, there are more than 200 warships! It is estimated that there are at least forty or fifty thousand Xinhua troops! Nguyen Jinyong replied. In fact, he didn't know how many troop carriers the Xinhua Army had sent, but when Ruan Phuc Yan asked, he had to make things up. In fact, he almost guessed the strength of the Xinhua Army.

"Forty or fifty thousand troops? What is Xinhuaguo going to do? Are they going to fight a war with us to destroy the country? A gray-haired official exclaimed.

"We have no grudges with Xinhuaguo, why do they want to launch an unjust war against us! I implore His Majesty to send someone to condemn Xinhua Guo, so that they can recognize the status quo clearly, so that they can withdraw from the army in shame! An official from a Confucian family said sternly. A big mouth can withstand the momentum of a million soldiers. Emperor Ming Ming greatly promoted Confucianism in Vietnam, and it has been proved that Confucianism does more harm than good to a country! A mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality will not make a country develop and grow, but will become the target of backwardness and beating!

In the face of the sudden attack of Xinhuaguo, these Vietnamese officials, who had finally enjoyed a stable life for two years, were already stunned and did not know how to deal with it! (To be continued......)
