Chapter 1018 Iron Blood
"The general is really becoming more and more talented in literature. I admire him and admire him." While Qin Shan was pondering, Shangyi flattered him fiercely.
Guo Yong and Mu An looked at each other and glanced at each other.
Qin Shan shook his head, Shangyi was a real treasure because he could fight and flatter.
But most importantly, he still valued his ability.
He just ignored the flattery he received.
Only this time, Shangyi's flattery was wrong.
The sentence he said was not created by him, but was said casually by King Yan when he was giving a lecture in the military academy.
The other generals just let it go, but he took note of it carefully.
Since some Cochin soldiers were still hiding in the city, sporadic fighting continued until evening.
As night fell, Zhileng County became quiet.
At this time, Qin Shan summoned Guo Yong and the others again and assigned them tasks.
Not long after, Mu An and Shangyi arrived at the government office, but Guo Tu didn't arrive.
When the three of them were feeling strange, suddenly a person came to the room with the support of a soldier, it was Guo Yong.
"What's going on?" Qin Shan looked at it.
I saw that Guo Yong's legs were wrapped in white cloth, and bright red blood was seeping out of the white cloth.
The soldier who supported Guo Yong said angrily: "We failed to protect the general. These Cochin people are so despicable. They let some women pretend to be pitiful in front of us, but as soon as we turned around and exposed our backs, they attacked us. Now they even have children." Used it too."
"The general was negligent." Guo Yong was a little depressed.
He showed no mercy when facing the Cochin soldiers.
But when facing the people of Jiaozhi, especially women and children, he couldn't help but feel a little compassion.
But the Cochin people took advantage of the compassion of the soldiers and attacked them while they were clearing out the remaining Cochin soldiers.
During the day, many soldiers suffered losses.
Originally, he was a little wary, but he didn't expect to meet a thin child when he came over.
He didn't take it seriously and continued on his way.
With his back exposed, the kid took out a dagger and stabbed his leg.
From this we can also see how much hatred the Cochin people had for Da Song under the rule of the Nguyen Dynasty.
"Then you really brought it upon yourself!" Instead of comforting Guo Yong, Qin Shan scolded him.
After a pause, he said: "These Jiaozhi people are not Dasong people. Dasong people are just bewitched by powerful clans. Treat them well and you can let them know how to return."
"But the people of Jiaozhi are afraid of power but not moral, and treat the people of Dasong as enemies. How can they treat them like this! According to His Highness's idea, only after occupying Jiaozhi, they can write the same text, drive the same track, and educate them. After three generations, Jiaozhi will be If you can integrate into Dasong, now you should use iron-blooded tactics against Jiaozhi.”
When he came to the door, he pointed outside, "Now, kill all the people who instigated this child to shock the Cochin people and let them know that attacking Dasong soldiers requires paying a heavy price, otherwise such incidents will continue in the future. Only by making them afraid can our soldiers be safe and they can continue to live their lives. "
Guo Tu looked ashamed, said yes, and went out with the help of the soldiers.
After a while, several gunshots rang out in the city.
The three people in Qin Shan looked at each other and nodded.
At this time, Qin Shan said to Mu An, "There is no need to wait for Guo Yong. You immediately lead the Chinese army to Longyou County and seize the county seat before the Jiaozhi people react. I don't want to wait until we arrive in Hanoi to insert the Marine Corps." flag.”
"Yes, General, these Marine Corps boys will take the credit for our achievements." Mu An gave a military salute and turned around to go out.
…
at the same time.
In the imperial palace in Hanoi, the civil and military ministers of Jiaozhi gathered around Ruan Chushan, all looking frightened.
They had already received news of the fall of Zhileng County.
Because after the fall of Zhileng County, thick smoke rose from the beacon tower again.
Hanoi is only more than 200 miles away from Zhileng County.
Within an hour, the beacon tower closest to Hanoi was lit.
"Your Majesty, the army of Dasong is approaching fiercely and has great ambitions to destroy our country, Jiaozhi. At present, the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses commanded by General Ruan Youjin were defeated in Zhileng County. The troops in Longyou County are empty. I am afraid that within three days, they will be able to defeat us. Enter Hanoi." A minister urged, "The only solution now is to retreat south and seek shelter from the Franks."
Ruan Chushan was very moved when he heard this.
At present, more than 8,000 Frank troops are stationed in Ca Mau County.
This is the southernmost county town of Cochin, and it is also the treaty port they promised to the Franks.
Before, there were two thousand Frank troops stationed here, but since the arrival of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces, the number of troops has expanded to eight thousand.
Obviously, the location of Jin'ou County is a part of the war between the Western-Turkish Allied Forces and Dasong.
Just as the British wanted to protect Tianzhu, the Franks also wanted to protect their Southeast China.
For this reason, they will definitely fight Da Song.
Once the Franks fought with Dasong's army, the Western-Turkish coalition, which was advancing and retreating together, could only support the Franks.
When the time comes, they may be able to block Da Song's troops.
"Your Majesty, you may not need to withdraw from Hanoi immediately. Why not ask the Frankish army to come to help. Hanoi is the most prosperous place in Jiaozhi, with fertile fields thousands of miles away. It would be a pity to give it to the Dasong people." A general said, "General I am willing to lead troops to Longyou County to resist Dasong's army."
"Nonsense, General Ruan's 100,000 troops were defeated by the Dasong army in just two days. What can you use to fight the Dasong army? We only have 100,000 soldiers now, so we should protect them." A minister retorted.
"Cowardly rats, how can the Jiaozhi people be afraid of the Dasong army? We should resist to the death and let the Dasong people see how powerful we are."
"Arrogant, how can today's Dasong be the same as before."
"..."
The two sides started to quarrel.
At this moment, a general suddenly broke into the hall with an anxious look on his face.
Kneeling in front of Ruan Chushan, the general said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Dasong fleet has attacked our navy at Haiyang Wharf. Our 120 warships were instantly reduced to dust. Later, the Dasong soldiers landed in small boats. Our wharf garrison could not resist, and they have already killed their way to Hanoi!"
"What!" Ruan Chushan was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground when he heard this.
Haiyang Wharf is only more than 200 miles away from Hanoi.
The time it took for the news to reach Hanoi was enough for the enemy to advance a hundred miles.
The ministers and generals of Jiaozhi were also quite surprised.
They left half of their troops in Hanoi because they were worried that the Dasong army would launch an attack from the east sea.
Now, the Dasong army has indeed come.
But before, they did not expect the Dasong army to be so powerful.
Now, the army in the north is killing Hanoi, and the army in the east is also killing Hanoi.
This Hanoi is likely to be undefended.
Thinking of this, Nguyen Chushan said anxiously, "Retreat south now."
As soon as he finished speaking, another general came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, the Dasong army has captured Thanh Hoa County."
Nguyen Chushan was immediately like falling into an ice cave.
Jiaozhi has a long and narrow terrain, with plains along the coast and mountains at the border with Funan in the west.
This Thanh Hoa County is located 80 miles south of Hanoi, the narrowest part of Jiaozhi.
The Dasong army cut off here, and it has become impossible for them to escape south.
