Annam, Thang Long.

The lord of the country, Li Xuanheng, looked at Ruan Tanwei, who was sitting at the bottom of the hall, calm and relaxed, and the fear in his heart was almost irrepressible.

"Lord Ruan, according to the latest report, Lu Yu and Xiong Tingbi have already led the adults to cross Qiongzhou and probe to Thang Long Mansion."

Ruan Tanwei had already prepared for Li Xuanheng's panicked reaction, not to mention the lord of the country, the entire Li Dynasty and the entire Annan Kingdom had been in panic all day long out of an atmosphere shrouded in fear.

But

For Ruan Tanwei, this matter is not unsolvable!

Moreover, he wants to use this operation to fight against China to completely establish his position in Annam, perhaps. He was able to take advantage of this opportunity to become the de facto ruler of the entire Annam in one fell swoop, as for the current Li family?

hey

Perhaps, what Mohs did in history was not enough!

"Your Majesty, there is an ancient saying in Huaxia that is called putting oneself to death and then being born," Ruan Tanwei said with a smile: "Now we are at this moment, if we survive it!" Then in the next few decades or even a hundred years, we can all have an equal dialogue with Huaxia, their porcelain, population, silk and the factory technology that has emerged in recent years, can be used by us! Annan, perhaps, can jump out of this barren land in one fell swoop, stand on a higher place, open up more land, plunder more people, and shine the great light on the world! ”

"But," although Li Xuanheng dreamed of developing Annan into a country like China, he still had a clear distinction between facts and dreams: "Putting death and living after life is not just talking!" How do we resist the Chinese Heavenly Soldiers? Our army is only more than 50,000, and most of our weapons are still clusters of arrows. ”

"Your Majesty, even the rain is raining, no matter what kind of gun, it is useless!" Ruan Tanwei was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already stationed a large number of elephant herds and archers in Bac Giang and Bac Ninh, as long as the Huaxia army is dragged there, in less than a month, in such a hot and humid place, where miasma is everywhere, without our intervention, they themselves will be tortured to death!" ”

Looking at Ruan Tanwei's confident appearance, Li Xuanheng didn't speak for a long time, just bowed his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the military affairs are complicated, and the minister has retired first!" Ruan Tanwei stood up, and without waiting for the emperor to reply, he turned around and left with a slight bow.

Looking at Ruan Tanwei's gradually disappearing back, the corners of Li Xuanheng's mouth slowly pressed down, and his eyebrows and eyes began to move, and finally he just spit out two words in a very low voice, as if he could only hear it himself: Kill!

Bac Ninh Pass.

Lu Yu looked at the city wall that had been built in the distance against low rammed earth and mixed grass and wood plaster, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

"Except for that moat, which can slightly resist the attack of our army, I don't think this wall is of any use!" Lu Yu pointed to the city in the distance with a horsewhip in his hand and said, "Capture this city in one day, and I will see the walls of Thang Long Mansion in three days!" Sacrifice the blood of the Lê and Nguyen clans to my dead Chinese people! ”

"Yes!"

Before sending troops to Annam, the parliament and the Academy of Sciences had studied that the city of Annam was low, and the mountains and forests were steep, and the primeval forests were luxuriant, so it was possible to build siege trees and ladders from local materials to seize the high ground and take the town.

So after Lu Yu gave the order, the defenders of Beining City saw a scene that made them tremble.

Vast tracts of primeval trees were cut down, a large number of siege ladders were erected, and moats were filled with stones and branches, and the city of Bac Ninh was frightened by the scene in less than three days.

The document calling for help flew like a snowflake towards Thang Long Mansion.

Ask the imperial court to send reinforcements.

However, Bac Ninh did not wait for reinforcements, waiting for a large number of armed bows and elite artillery, incessant bombardment and salvo fire on Bac Ninh.

In just one day, the entire city of Bac Ninh was crumbling.

Annan's war elephants and cavalry, under the guns of Huaxia, except to flee with their heads in their hands, how could they dare to turn their heads and attack?

The sky was directly covered by the cluster of arrows,

The artillery fire was incessant, and the defenders of the entire village of Bac Ninh had almost no room to fight back.

Except for the three or four hundred death squads that attacked the Huaxia camp at night, Lu Yu did not encounter any effective resistance during the entire battle.

Of course - the commandos of three or four hundred men were also cut off and hung on flagpoles to deter the enemy.

Rumble!!!

In less than a day, with the rampling of the low rammed earth city wall, Lu Yu led the infantry soldiers to enter Beining City.

"Gather all the adult males of 16 years old in Bac Ninh, cut off the thumbs of their hands and feet, and release them." After Lu Yu entered Beining City, he gave his first order!

"My lord, it is better to kill them directly, otherwise these people who have had their toes cut off will go to other places, and they will strengthen the determination of other places to resist us. It backfired," Deng Hu, who served as the chief officer of the left battalion of Annan, said with some hesitation.

"If anyone resists, there will be no mercy! For the rest, stay as dogs! "Lu Yucai is not afraid that these Annan Tsai have any intention of resisting, as long as Huaxia is strong enough, in their eyes, they can only kneel down and call the master!

"The last general obeys!"

Entering the territory of Annan, Lu Yu remembered Wang Qi's instructions - to destroy his temple and destroy his country. Jiaozhi this place, from now on, peace of mind to Huaxia as a dog, can live.

Otherwise, the clan will destroy it.

The news of the breach of Bac Ninh City soon spread to Thang Long Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away, and the Thang Long Mansion was already uneasy, and people were even more panicked at this time.

As some officials began to flee secretly, a large number of people also began to flee when they saw this.

Seeing this situation, Ruan Tanwei immediately issued martial law, and at the same time pulled out several patriarchs of the family who took the lead in escaping and cut off their heads, so that they could suppress the uneasy hearts.

But Ruan Tanwei knows that if there is no big victory as soon as possible, then let alone his position, and even whether he can keep his head is two words!

After all, in the court, different voices have already appeared.

This is a great threat and a bad sign for Ruan Tanwei.

"Beining City didn't resist even a day, and it was breached!"

"What about Thang Long Mansion? Can you resist for three days? ”

"We might as well surrender directly, so that we can still live!"

Looking coldly at the officials who were making nonsense in the court, Ruan Tanwei just sat there and ignored it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic, the general is actively planning, presumably he already has a perfect plan, and when the Huaxia army arrives, it will be time to see the difference!"

As the emperor, Li Xuanheng rejected all the suggestions of these courtiers, and instead put on an attitude of 100% support for the Ruan family.

"Your Majesty," Ruan Tanwei glanced at the emperor deeply, "Please rest assured." When the time comes, the Nguyen family will give His Majesty an explanation! (End of chapter)
