Chapter 479: What About the Fleet?

Even if Ruan Phuc Yuan was mentally strong, he still couldn't hide his fatigue.

He has been ill for several months, and there are even rumors from the outside world that his limit is approaching, and there is no definite statement as to who will succeed his two sons, Nguyen Phuc Lan and Nguyen Phuc Thanh.

A few days ago, everyone was very optimistic about Nguyen Phuc Lan, but he lost the battle in the Northern Dynasty, his prestige plummeted, and some people had already fallen to Nguyen Phuc Lan. It can be said that the Ruan Dynasty at this time was in an extremely unstable situation, and the invasion of the Ming Dynasty at this time was like kicking this already turbulent dynasty, and some people's thoughts began to change subtly.

When any dynasty reaches the point of life and death, there will be a group of loyal martyrs who will die and die for the country. But again, a group will emerge, lackeys!

Ruan Phuc Yuan said that only death resonated with many people.

But more people have begun to mumble in their hearts.

Even if you Ruan clan die, this Nanhe country is just a change of master, and we will still be officials on errands. This Nanhe country lord belongs to your family, not ours, your family was robbed, why do you want us workers to accompany you and others?

How can there be such a truth in the world?

Ruan Fuyuan has been through ups and downs all his life, what kind of scenes, what kind of people have never seen it, look around, and you will know what kind of mind everyone has.

He smiled bitterly and spoke again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Nguyen Phuc Yuan, believe that I have always led you well, and now that the national crisis is at hand, I do not ask you to sacrifice your lives for the country. I just want that when the Ming army invades the territory, I can try my best to make the people less harmed! Ah, I want to go to the beach, even if the Ming army lands, I will step on my corpse!"

Such heartfelt words are not only moving, but some faithful people have begun to wipe away tears.

"Lord, why don't we move south?"

"That's right! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Why don't you move south! Hedong, Pingshan, Suiyuan, it's all right!"

Everyone made another suggestion to stop Ruan Fuyuan from sending him to death.

"I've made up my mind! Say no more." Ruan Fuyuan's attitude was very firm, and after finishing speaking, he got into the carriage with the help of Ruan Fuyuan.

Leaving a large group of people looking at each other.

To follow or not to follow?

Then there is no doubt about death.

But if he doesn't follow, if Ruan Fuyuan reaches some consensus with Daming, he will still be liquidated when he comes back.

What to do?

The question was left to the side of the officials.

While they were entangled, there was a sudden rumbling cannon sound from the eastern seaside!

Everyone changed color in unison.

This huge momentum must be the artillery of the Ming army!

They went on the offensive.

The courage that some officials had just mentioned was suddenly extinguished again, and just hearing this sound was scary enough, and they still resisted, what to resist?

At the same time, Xu Zhi'an on the north bank of the Zhengjiang River also set up his artillery and gave the order to attack.

Dozens of Chu Yang artillery pieces roared, sending shells across the river bank to the Nguyen defensive camp.

The current Xu Zhi'an is completely in accordance with Zhu Youzhen's will, regardless of the small number of people on the other side, whether he defends the city or not, and then uses artillery to bombard a few rounds first.

With the power of the first and second types of the first yang, it is lucky to be able to leave a whole corpse after a few rounds of attacks, let alone continue to resist.

After the shelling, Xu Zhi'an crossed the river with his soldiers, and the boats that crossed the river were ready-made.

Zheng Jie dreamed of destroying Ruan Fuyuan on the other side, and these things were naturally prepared.

If Zheng Jie was here at this time, he would definitely be very emotional.

He tried the Zhengjiang River, which he couldn't cross by various methods, and in the eyes of the Ming army, it was just a stream.

After the landing, there was no resistance on the other side of the river.

Not to mention those who are dead and disabled, those who can move normally have long since run away.

Previously, they heard from the people brought back by Nguyen Phuc Lan that the army had powerful firearms, but everyone still didn't believe it, thinking that they had lost the battle and deliberately exaggerated. It's time to arrive

I learned today that the power of artillery is great, and whoever is bombed knows it.

The scene of being tossed a few steps by the shock wave of a cannonball.

The shattered scene that was bombed.

The scene where shrapnel shatters the skull.

It's about to become a nightmare in the hearts of survivors.

The army led by Xu Zhi'an came all the way, and the soldiers he encountered were all looking for the wind. Even those who dared to resist quickly stopped after the cannon fired.

It seems that this is not a war, but a drill.

On the sea more than ten miles away from Shunyi City, Xie Xuelong was quietly watching the artillery on his own ships bombarding the opponent's ships with impunity.

Whether it's big, small, long, short.

It only takes one shot to solve the problem, if it is not enough, then two. At least now Nguyen Thi does not have a warship that can withstand three shells from the main gun.

An hour ago.

They reached the sea area more than a dozen miles from the coastline.

They thought they would be sniped, but they did not meet any resistance.

Needless to say, the nearby merchant ships saw them and immediately sailed away from the area, lest they would be caught in the pond and the fish in the pond.

They can escape, but the ships of the navy can't.

One is where the responsibility lies, and the other is that even if you can't run, you have to dock first? Where can you go without supplies on this sea?

So they all turned around and leaned towards the docks, and those who should have reported the news, and those who should have hid.

As for escaping, they didn't dare until they were sure whether the Ming army was going to attack or not.

Xie Xuelong sent a ship, approached the dock in a grand manner, and waved the flag to make them surrender.

"Inspector, don't these guys understand the meaning of our flag language? Why hasn't anyone come out and surrendered yet?" After waiting for a long time and not seeing a ship come out, Lu Shiyun asked suspiciously.

"Don't understand? The flag of the Ming Navy is not in this area, which country dares to understand? If you don't surrender, you want to resist, wait for an hour, and attack them directly without moving!"

"Okay."

The sailors of the First Fleet were gearing up, waiting for the hour to expire and then open fire on them.

As a result, these people did not live up to their expectations, and they received orders to resist to the death, but none of them had the courage to go to sea to meet them. Run, but don't dare to run, and as a result, the tens of thousands of soldiers deployed here are all huddled in the dock and don't know what to do.

Finally, the hour came.

Xie Xuelong motioned for Lu Shiyun to open fire, and the seven battleships opened fire unscrupulously, and the entire port immediately became lively.

The First Fleet first aimed at the ships on the dock, and under the fire of seven ships, the targets were sunk one after another.

After the battleship was finished, the fleet again aimed at the buildings on the shore, and bombed them indiscriminately.

The soldiers on the shore were completely devastated, and they were blown up one by one.

There were people who loyally fired at the fleet, but not to mention the accuracy, even if they hit, it would not be of much use.

So they all gave up their resistance, and it was time to run where they wanted.

At this time, who still remembers Ruan Phuc Yuan's order to resist to the end, how fast and how fast he can run.

Stubborn to the end?

Can the flesh block the shells?

It's not that fun.

When Nguyen Phuc Yuan arrived, the entire dock was in shambles.

There were broken walls everywhere, thick smoke billowing out, and screams and cries were endless.

"Where's Ming's fleet?"

He found a problem that surprised him, he didn't see the Ming fleet.
