Come to Daming with military supplies

"Just surround and not rush? Could it be that the military situation has changed." The prime minister is the prime minister, and Ruan Chuncheng immediately thought of a possibility.Then he exclaimed, "Quickly, go and negotiate with the mercenary general outside. I want to see Mr. Zhongdan. If it's not possible, it's okay to see General Hong Jin."

The sudden change made Ruan Chuncheng's face change drastically, although he still couldn't know what happened outside.But just the fact that Fudi was besieged was enough for him to think about the worst.

"My lord, this subordinate tried, but the other party ignored me at all." The chief guard first raised his head, looked at Yang Chendong with a very embarrassed expression, and then lowered his head deeply.

With a "plop", Ruan Chuncheng sat back on the wooden chair again, with dull eyes, he knew that this time things were out of order.

The moment Prime Minister Ruan's temporary mansion was besieged was the time when the mercenaries left.

Fifty thousand young Han people who came from Jiaozhi had already entered Beidai City. Along with them were [-] Type [-] recently produced in Chixiancheng Arsenal, as well as [-] individual rocket launchers and Some corresponding guns and ammunition.

This is already all the inventory available in the arsenal today.Although Kaohsiung has led the navy to dominate the sea for a while, it has indeed obtained a lot of copper and iron, but the real production capacity is still very low.

Unlike the production lines of factories in later generations, the manufacture of many things still needs to be completed by manpower.This makes it possible for the army to use the things produced in normal times, but when a war starts, the consumption and output cannot be directly proportional.

For this matter, Yang Chendong has ordered the arsenal to continue to expand, and his pace of conquering the world does not want to stop because of guns and ammunition.But some things cannot be eaten in one bite to make a fat man, but need to be digested and absorbed slowly. This is the reason for the manufacture of weapons.

The [-] eighty-one styles sent up from the rear were only used by Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers.After all, if a gun fires too many bullets, the rifling is prone to problems.Problems such as the accuracy of the gun and the jamming of the bullet will also come one after another, and the necessary replacement port must be necessary.

The lack of firearms is also the reason why Yang Chendong allowed Hong Jin to build [-] Cochin mercenaries.First, someone needs to manage Cochin in the future, and second, in order to protect the guns from being wasted for no reason, sometimes it is necessary to fight some cold-weapon battles. This is when Hong Jin and the others can be used.

Chapter 5 and One: Sending Troops to Hanoi City (Fourth Change)

Just to prevent the phenomenon that the tail is too big to drop in the future, they are only allowed to have [-] soldiers. This is a way of self-protection.

Now that the weapons are available and the population is sufficient for the time being, Yang Chendong does not want to wait any longer if the conditions are fulfilled. He wants to take the Cochin Kingdom first, which is also his first step in fulfilling his life goals in a practical sense.

If even a small cochin cannot be conquered, how about conquering the whole world?

Beidai City only left an auxiliary barracks and a temporary auxiliary barracks.Next, not counting the companies directly under the regiment, there were exactly twenty battalion-level units with complete establishments, starting from Beidai City in a mighty way, heading straight for Hanoi City, the capital of the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

It was Kong Quanxin, commander of Leng Feng's third battalion, who was in charge of playing the vanguard.

Wu Sheng, the battalion commander of the first battalion, was still fighting in the rainforest with the black soldiers of the Chen Heijin Department in Cochin in the Lang Son area, and the reported results were not bad.Chen Bo, the commander of the Second Battalion, had led his troops to take down Beidai City before, and made military achievements. This time, it was finally Kong Quanxin's turn to make contributions to the Third Battalion.

Battalion Commander Kong, who had received the news nine days ago, recruited four elite company commanders under him to conduct targeted exercises and training in response to the situation in Hanoi City. Now the army was finally able to set off. Two auxiliary battalions and four temporary auxiliary battalions set off an hour before the main force.

Once out of Beidai City, Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin issued a military order, asking the troops to go at full speed.For a distance of nearly two hundred miles, he only gave everyone ten hours.

It's just a hasty march.The troops should rush to the city of Hanoi before dawn and start attacking the city after resting for at least two hours.

Once an order is given, it must be fully executed.The requirement of traveling two hundred miles in these twenty hours not only did not make the soldiers feel tired, but also excited them all.Even the soldiers of the four temporary auxiliary battalions walking at the end of the army had high morale.

After seeing the power of the continuous fire gun, none of the soldiers in the temporary auxiliary barracks did not want to have a musket of their own.Then becoming an auxiliary soldier has become a lot of hope.In the past, there was no opportunity, but now the opportunity is in front of you, it can be said that everyone is rushing to be the first.

It was precisely because of the strong morale that the mercenaries of the seven battalions marched faster than the battalion commander Kong Quanxin imagined.They actually ran all the way straight to Hanoi City and killed them.Judging from this speed, it may be more than an hour earlier than the original plan. This will give everyone more time to rest outside the city, and they will have more confidence in capturing Hanoi City in World War I.

Hanoi city.

Under King Li Li's complete delegation of power, all the work here was presided over by Prince Li Yuanlong.

When he arrived in Hanoi from Jiuzhen County, Li Yuanlong, as the prince, was still a little worried.From time to time, there would be mercenary navy moving around in the waters beside Jiuzhen County, which made him understand better than others what kind of opponent he was facing.

With the current strength of the Cochin Kingdom, there is no chance of winning in the face of artillery and guns.Unless they can produce more ironware, they may be able to resist for a while longer by virtue of their defense and terrain advantages.

From this point of view, whether there is enough time has become the worry in Li Yuanlong's heart.Fortunately, Ruan Chuncheng, the ace prime minister in his hand, was sent, and the other party did not live up to his expectations. Once they entered Beidai City, they stabilized the offensive power of the mercenaries.

With enough time, the envoy sent by Zaijia also went to Nanjing, the capital of Nanming. Once the emperor of Nanming issued the imperial edict, the loyal and brave man of the Ming Dynasty would have to stop, and the hope of Jiaozhi Kingdom would reappear. up.

It seems that everything is moving in a direction that is favorable to him.Li Yuanlong's complexion has become much better these days.In addition, he has never placed his hope on other people. The blacksmiths in the army are working day and night to make iron shields. Even some private blacksmith shops in the city are temporarily recruited to join in the manufacture of iron carts. among the ranks.He has already built ten iron carts that can hide 200 people, and an iron shield that can equip 2000 people. With these confidences, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

How can it be said that Jiaozhi has been established for more than 20 years, and there are still some war reserves. Otherwise, how can it dare to agree to the request of King Min to go to Nanming to pick trouble?Just like now, after several days of adjustments, there are now about 8 soldiers in Hanoi City alone.

With the existence of these 8 people, Shide Hanoi City feels so solid to outsiders.

Nearly 30 people in Hanoi City came out of the clouds and mist of the war, and the business on the street resumed as before. From a distance, it is really a prosperous scene.

But all of this changed with the Pegasus of the front scouts entering the city.

"Report!" Just when Prince Li Yuanlong returned to the Prince's Mansion after inspecting military supplies and armaments, he didn't even have time to sit down for a cup of tea when he saw a military scout soaked by rain.

I don't know why, seeing the scouts in such a mess, Li Yuanlong's heart was full of fear, and a bad feeling came to his heart.It's just that he didn't show it, but tried to stabilize his body and mind as much as possible, "Why are you so panicked?"

"Report His Royal Highness, the gate of Beidai City suddenly opened wide this morning, and then thousands of mercenaries came out of the gate and came straight to the direction of Hanoi City." After the anxious scout finished speaking , couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.From getting the news to returning to the city, he didn't stop for a moment, so that the water shortage in his body was serious, but at this time he really didn't care to drink saliva, he just wanted to send the news as soon as possible, so that the prince could prepare a little earlier. good.

Although he had already made some preparations in his heart, when he heard the words of the scout, Li Yuanlong still couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while, and the figure of the scout in front of him also swayed again and again.

After a few breaths, Li Yuanlong slowly adjusted his breath, and then asked in a calm voice as much as possible, "You said that the other party has thousands of people out of the city, how many are these thousands?"

"About three thousand." The scout replied cautiously after a little thought.

Anyone who can become a scout is not only agile, but more importantly, has extraordinary eyesight.Otherwise, often wrong military intelligence may lead to extremely serious consequences.Although he only took a rough look at the mercenary army leaving the city, he still estimated the actual strength of the opponent.

When he heard that there were only 3000 people, Li Yuanlong's flustered mood became much more stable.If only these troops were sent, it may not mean that the mercenaries are really going to war with the Cochin Kingdom, and there may be other reasons.After all, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it would be too much to take it for granted if he wanted to capture the capital of Jiaozhi with 3000 soldiers and nearly 30 people with [-] people.

"Okay, the crown prince knows, come and send him down to rest." Several possibilities flashed through Li Yuanlong's mind in an instant.Seeing that the scout had withdrawn, he said to another guard beside him, "Go and find General Fan and General Ruan immediately."

In less than half an hour, Fan Yuhai, who is known as a famous general in Jiaozhi Kingdom, and generals Ruan Gengwang, Huang Hua, Li Shaochong and others came to the Prince's Mansion in a hurry.Although they didn't know what happened, but the prince called suddenly, presumably something big must have happened.

After these generals arrived at the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, Prince Li Yuanlong also walked into the main hall under the protection of several guards.

"The final general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A group of generals bowed and saluted.

"The generals don't need to be polite." Li Yuanlong, who sat down on the big chair, first glanced at the generals, and then said in a low voice: "I just got a report from the scouts in front. Suddenly three thousand mercenaries came out, and they came straight to our city of Hanoi. Maybe they will show up at the city by this time tomorrow."

"what?"

When the generals heard this, their faces changed color, obviously they were shocked by the sudden news.

But what this discoloration reveals is not fear, but a faint excitement.

As for the mercenaries, among the generals, only Ruan Gengwang and Huang Hua fought against each other.Moreover, the former fought against the mercenaries in the rainforest of Lang Son, and he never really saw the mercenaries from the beginning to the end. Although the loss was not small, he didn't have any intuitive understanding.On the contrary, since he returned to Hanoi City, he has been thinking about blood shame, just because the prince implements a policy of delaying negotiations, there is no room for him to play, and now he finally has a chance to fight, how can he not be excited ?

Not only Ruan Gengwang thought this way, but all the other generals except Huang Hua thought this way.What the prince said just now can be said to be very clear, this time only 3000 mercenaries came.

3000 people, how big a storm they can create, it may be scary to say that the other party is 3 people.But how could they show the slightest timidity when they were clearly superior in terms of military strength?

Prince Li Yuanlong was also paying attention to the reactions of the generals.The answer made him very satisfied. Except for Huang Hua and Fan Yuhai who were frowning, the other generals all looked eager to try, wishing they could lead the troops to battle now.

To say that Huang Hua's performance was originally within Li Yuanlong's expectation.This person once led five thousand soldiers to attack Beidai City, but he returned in a disastrous defeat.With such a shadow, it is normal for him to have no confidence in his heart when facing mercenaries.

It's just that Fan Yuhai is also frowning, what does this mean?At this moment, Li Yuanlong was a little puzzled.

Chapter 5 A trace of worry

"General Fan, how do you view the situation in front of you?" Li Yuanlong pointed out the opponent's name.In fact, Fan Yuhai, who can be called a famous general, has some weight in the eyes of King Li Li and Prince Li Yuanlong.

Fan Yuhai, whose name was called, first bowed and saluted, then raised his eyebrows and said: "His Royal Highness. We were negotiating with mercenaries before, and we also sent a lot of Han people there. It is said that we all cooperated happily, but why? Will they send troops suddenly? What is the reason for this? Or something happened that we don’t know? From the perspective of the future, it’s better not to use weapons lightly until the matter is clarified.”
