Chapter 1401: Sending troops into chaos
This is really a farce When Li Zhi, the king of Jin, learned the news, the whole person was also frightened speechless, and he also wanted to go to the territory of Vietnam in advance to see, that is also the first Tang royal family to reach the territory of Vietnam, this is also a gimmick, now after learning the news, this guy is so scared that he doesn't even dare to move, if he really goes over, he can still occupy a first place, that is, the first Tang royal family captured by foreign troops.
If you can die, it can be regarded as a death to thank the country, but if you can't die, there will be no good result after sending it back, you must find a remote palace, and don't come out for the rest of your life, after all, you are the shame of the entire Tang royal family.
"These damn Vietnamese are simply too bold, they should be exterminated immediately..."
His Royal Highness the King of Jin scolded the Vietnamese, and he had a stick of incense, but no one around him went up to echo him, including those who came with him, it can be seen that this guy does not have much ability, and now he has to find a new dock, if he continues to follow his men, I am afraid that there will be no way to survive in the future.
Li Zhi also knew that he was a little off the line this time, and he tried his best to find such an opportunity, thinking that he would fly higher by taking advantage of the surrender of Vietnam, but unfortunately he didn't fly, but fell himself.
A farce made the people who established Chang'an also angry, so the order of the Tiance General's Mansion also came down, we can not launch a full-scale attack for the time being, but we must knock down several cities in the border area, and let Vietnam know that we are powerful.
The army of the Protectorate of Annam has long been ready and will enter the battle at any time, and the scale of the battle is not very large now, so Changsun Ze and Huo Qubing immediately led people there.
Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was still in a daze in his temporary palace, and when he heard that the army of the Annan Protectorate had set off, this guy hurriedly asked his men to set up a carriage, and he couldn't just lose this kind of credit, even if he was standing next to him and writing a fold later, he had to write his name in it, so that the opportunity to pick up credit must not be given up.
After the Tang army crossed the border, it went straight to Luocheng all the way.
Na Thanh was later the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi, and it was also the largest city in the whole of northern Vietnam.
When the Tang army sent troops, the whole city was already in chaos, and the soldiers naturally couldn't leave their posts without permission, but the common people couldn't manage so much, should they stay here and be slaves to the Tang army? So they ran fast to the south.
Wu Yuanhao also rushed from Nanshan Pass to Luocheng here, in the north of Nanshan Pass is the first pass, if you can't hold here, then the Tang army will directly kill Nanshan Pass, which is also the middle position of Vietnam, once Nanshan Pass is lost, it is basically equivalent to the defeat of the entire Vietnam.
Now Luocheng is very important for both sides, if the Tang army can take Luocheng, then we will use it as a base and wait for the sailor warship to come in a month. And then from there, it went all the way south, and the Vietnam War could be regarded as an explanation.
For Vietnam, this is also the largest city in the north, which is a place they strictly defend, if they can resist the attack of the Tang army here, then it is a blessing of confidence for the people of the country, if they can't hold it, then the resistance of the people gathered by the people of the whole country will collapse immediately.
The Tang army has set off one bloody storm after another in the Indochina Peninsula, so many well-known armies in the past have failed in front of the Tang army, so many people have no bottom in their hearts, if we can't even hold Luo Chengdu, let alone the follow-up cities, it will definitely make the Tang army take it one by one.
Vu Yuanhao had already received the holy order of the king of Vietnam, and he must desperately hold all the 70,000 troops around Luo Cheng under his command, no matter how many people he lost, he must not take a step back.
The king of Vietnam also understands the importance of Luo Cheng very well, once Luo Cheng is lost, no matter what kind of flower he says, the landlords from all over the south will definitely not listen to him. In fact, the Vietnamese court was formed by the combination of various local forces, and the king of Vietnam was just a relatively large force.
When everyone is not defeated, they can still unify their respective calibers, but if Luo Cheng loses it, it means that they do not have the ability to fight hard with the Tang army.
For the sake of the future, some of these people under their hands will definitely negotiate peace with the Datang army in advance, and at that time they may let go of their defense line and let the Datang army enter the whole of Vietnam from here, not to mention any defense.
Wu Yuanhao is the most war-friendly person in Vietnam, and the 80,000 troops under his command are also the most elite people, don't look at Vietnam's claim to be able to form an army of 100,000, but these 80,000 people are already their limit, and the rest of them are half-soldiers and half-farmers.
Usually when there is nothing to do, they farm at home, and when they have something, they follow the army to fight, but they are just doing some miscellaneous work, and if they really go to the battlefield to fight, it is impossible, after all, those people have low combat effectiveness, if you push them to the battlefield, it is equivalent to sending war merits to the enemy.
When Wu Yuanhao arrived in Luocheng, he found that the people in the city were fleeing, and immediately ordered his people to close several city gates, leaving one more person at this time, that is also the living force guarding the city, if these people are allowed to run, it is not possible to rely on the army under his command alone, in addition to this, it also brought a large amount of food, which is enough for the people and the army in the city to eat, and what is lacking is manpower.
As soon as the order was received, the army closed all the gates, and asked all the young men to report under the city walls, and the rest of the men had to return to their homes to wait for orders, and if anyone was wandering the streets, they would be caught and killed.
Under this brutal policy, Luo Cheng has restored the original order, but there is no commercial atmosphere on the street, and all the people are waiting for the arrival of the Tang army in the north, which is also the first official confrontation between Vietnam and the Tang army.
And at this moment, the Tang army has come to five miles north of Luocheng...
