Chapter 1022: Entering the Imperial City

Hanoi City. Read

Giaozhi Palace.

When the Marines and the Qinglong Army launched a massive attack, Jiaozhi Emperor Nguyen Chushan was hiding in the bedroom with his concubines, shivering and crying from time to time.

Listening to the fierce gunfire, Nguyen Chushan collapsed on the bed, no longer with the spirit he had in front of Mark Wen, but instead panicked.

Since the founding of Jiaozhi, the wars between Jiaozhi and Dasong have all taken place in Zhiling County, and no Central Plains dynasty has ever been able to cross this place.

On the one hand, Zhiling County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and on the other hand, Jiaozhou, a remote place, has never been the focus of the Central Plains dynasty.

Even if troops are sent, too many troops will not be used and too many resources will be consumed.

Moreover, once the attack is frustrated, Jiaozhi will show a little weakness, and the war will stop.

Because of this, every Jiaozhi emperor has a grasp of the Central Plains dynasty.

You can boldly invade Dasong and plunder.

At that time, at worst, they could retreat to Jiaozhi and show weakness to Dasong.

This time, he also had this idea in mind.

He believed that with the help of the Westerners, they could invade Dasong, plunder, and even take over the territory south of Jiujiang.

If Dasong could not fight against them and the Westerners, they would win.

Jiaozhi and Piaoman south of Jiujiang could be divided in half.

If they failed, at worst, they could retreat to Jiaozhi.

But now, he slowly came to his senses.

They thought they were hunters and Dasong was the prey.

But now, it is clear that Dasong is the hunter and they are the prey.

After the Dasong army passed Longyou, he sent ministers to deliver a surrender letter.

But the generals who led the troops directly tore the surrender letter to pieces, and ignored their previous method of showing weakness that had worked every time.

And their way to the south was cut off again. There were enemies in the south, north, and east, and there were dense forests and mountains in the west, so it was impossible to go.

His only solution was to fight a bloody battle with the Dasong army, hoping that the Franks would come to rescue them.

"Bang bang bang...", "Boom boom boom...", "Da da da..."

While Ruan Chushan was worried and scared, the Jiaozhi soldiers guarding the city became more and more disappointed.

The Qinglong Army carried 36 howitzers, 12 rifled cannons were bombarding fiercely, and 18 machine guns were madly shooting at the top of the city.

Under the storm of bullets, the Jiaozhi soldiers guarding the city suffered heavy casualties and could not show their heads at all. They all lay on the ground of the city wall, trembling with fear, and even dared not to peek at the situation outside.

The Jiaozhi generals crawled on the city wall with their heads held high, commanding their own soldiers.

Under the guns and cannons of the Dasong army, the artillery on their city wall could not be used at all.

As long as the artillery exposed their bodies to load ammunition, they would almost certainly die.

Now, they can only withstand the guns and cannons of the Dasong army and wait for the enemy soldiers to climb the city wall before fighting them hand-to-hand.

But their ideas are correct, but the facts are cruel.

After holding out for most of the day, the gunfire outside the city suddenly stopped.

The generals and soldiers of Jiaozhi were all surprised.

They all showed their heads and looked out boldly, only to find that a long winding team was entering the battlefield, with the intention of surrounding the entire Jiaozhi city.

The reinforcements of the Dasong army arrived.

Seeing this scene, the generals and soldiers of Jiaozhi felt like they were falling into an ice cave, panicking and at a loss, just like prisoners before execution.

The ones who arrived at this moment were naturally Guo Yong, Shang Yi, the front army and the rear army.

Not long after Mu An's central army set off, they set off immediately, and the distance between the two sides was not very far.

Arriving at the foot of Hanoi City, seeing that Mu An had already launched an attack, Qin Shan immediately asked Guo Yong and Shang Yi to lead their troops to attack from the south gate and the west gate.

As for the east gate, the marines can be used.

"General, the Marine Corps is really fast. Just now, the Marine Corps Captain Ding Lu sent someone to say that they controlled Qinghua County and cut off the Jiaozhi army's way to the south." Mu An reported to Qin Shan.

"This is why Your Highness formed the Marine Corps. There are some things that our army cannot replace." Qin Shan looked at the east gate.

Although their armies are close to each other, they are all healthy competition, not malicious sabotage.

So, for him, the Marine Corps is also his own people.

Some actions are lost, and there is no regret, as long as the war can be won at the lowest cost.

Obviously, the action of the Marine Corps this time helped them a lot.

Otherwise, when they were not here, the Jiaozhi army would definitely flee south, which would extend their time to control Jiaozhi.

At the same time, this also proved that the decision of King Yan was correct.

"But even so, we can't lose to them in the war." Mu An clenched his fist again.

Qin Shan smiled, "Of course, the first soldier to enter the Jiaozhi Palace must be from our Qinglong Army. Let's launch a full-scale charge!"

Unlike Zhiling County, the Jiaozhi army is concentrated on the northern wall, and it is necessary to continuously bombard the enemy soldiers to reduce the density of their garrisons.

The Jiaozhi City is located on a plain, and all four walls can be attacked.

In this way, there are not many Jiaozhi soldiers on each side.

"Toot, toot..." At Qin Shan's command, the charge horn flew over the battlefield.

"Kill!" Under the cover of machine guns and artillery, the Qinglong Army soldiers carried the ladder and rushed towards Hanoi City.

The Jiaozhi generals on the wall realized that the Dasong army was going to climb the city, and they urged the soldiers to stand up and fight back.

Many Jiaozhi soldiers did not dare to stand up at all.

Even if some soldiers stood up, they were immediately hit by bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

This made the other Jiaozhi soldiers even more afraid to expose themselves.

So, with almost no resistance, the Qinglong Army soldiers rushed to the city wall.

The grenadiers first threw a wave of grenades on the city wall, and the other soldiers climbed up the city wall like monkeys along the ladders.

The Jiaozhi soldiers who were stunned by the grenades had not yet reacted when they saw the Dasong soldiers appear on the city wall.

The remaining Jiaozhi soldiers were about to pick up their muskets to resist, but they were stabbed to death by the Qinglong Army soldiers.

The Jiaozhi soldiers were cleared one by one, and the Qinglong Army soldiers immediately guarded the steps leading to the city wall to prevent the Jiaozhi soldiers from climbing the city to support.

The subsequent Qinglong Army soldiers took the opportunity to climb the city wall one by one.

After the number of people increased, they immediately shot and killed the nearby Jiaozhi soldiers, and at the same time organized an attack to seize the city gate.

Under the swift attack of the Qinglong Army soldiers, the Jiaozhi soldiers collapsed.

Especially after the city wall was completely lost, morale collapsed and self-confidence was annihilated.

To him, this was not an equal war at all, but like facing the heavenly soldiers and generals. He was like an ant from beginning to end, and could be crushed to death with just a light step.

"Kill!"

The Jiaozhi army was in a state of collapse, and the morale of the Qinglong army soldiers was greatly boosted. They came down from the city wall and rushed to the Jiaozhi Palace from all directions.

When they were on the city wall just now, they noticed the golden palace.

The Jiaozhi emperor was there!
