After the Nguyen army's night attack on Zheng's camp was defeated, Zheng Jie took advantage of the situation and stormed Hue City.
Nguyen Phuc became so ruthless that he conscripted all the men in the city between 14 and 50 years old to go to the city to defend the city. Now, like a gambler who lost his sight, he pinned all his hopes on the intervention of the Ming army.<
/p>
But the reinforcements didn't come either left or right. No matter how strong the city was, there would be a day when it would be captured. Hue City was violently attacked for another month, and it was close to running out of fuel and lamps. The city walls were crumbling and morale was low.
Down.
Ruan Phuc Bin summoned Ruan Phuc Minh and scolded him: "You said that if you cut Gia Lai and Kun Hao to the Ming Dynasty, you can get the Ming army to rescue you. Now the Ming army has taken over Gia Lai and Kun Hao, but it has been delayed.
What’s the point of being willing to rescue Hue?”
Nguyen Phuc Minh did not dare to raise his head, "Wise Lord, the Ming army has arrived in Hoi An, and is only two or three days away from Hue. I would like to go to Hoi An to urge them to march as soon as possible."
"Go, go," Ruan Phuc Bin waved his hand feebly.
After Ruan Phuc Ming left, Ruan Phuc Bin felt that he had to prepare for the worst. He called his confidant, Shenwu Guard Commander Shi Deng Hui, "Deng Qing, you will escort the princess and Qin'er to Guangnan Mansion immediately."
"The last general received his order", Deng Hui bid farewell to Nguyen Phuc Bin with tears, and led his army to escort Princess Trinh and the three-year-old prince Nguyen Phuc Qun to Quang Nam, Nguyen's old place."
After sending his family away, Ruan Phuc Bin suddenly became less afraid, and together with other generals Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin, prepared to make the final resistance.
??
Outside the city of Hue, Zheng's army was encamped. King Zheng Jie of the Qing Dynasty summoned the generals Zheng Kai, Zheng Gen, Ruan Youden, Ding Wenzuo, and Qi Puzhong with high spirits and said: "Everyone, please look at Hue.
The defenders can no longer hold on, and the time to unify Annan is just around the corner. I’ll give you three days to wait, and we will definitely break the city within three days. If you don’t shrink back, behead!”
The generals were full of fighting spirit and shouted together: "The last general is willing to be loyal to the King of the Qing Dynasty, defeat the Ruan family, and unify Annan."
"Okay, okay, okay, this is like me, the Annan warrior, who sacrifices his life and goes forward indomitably." Zheng Zie said "ok" three times in a row, full of praise, and suddenly lost his voice.
"Plop", the Qingdu King Zheng Zhi, who had been impassioned just now, fainted and fell to the ground like soft cotton.
"Your Majesty!"
"Brother!"
"Grandpa!"
There was a scream of shock in the big tent.
"Call the imperial doctor quickly", old Zheng Kai burst into tears.
After being rescued by the imperial doctor, Zheng Zhi opened his eyes and was breathless.
"Brother, let me escort you back to Shenglong," Zheng Kai cried and said.
"No," Zheng Jie shouted sternly: "Our army has gone through countless bloody battles before we can achieve today's results. How can we respond to the illness of a single person and miss a good opportunity? Please call all the generals to take charge."
When the generals entered, Zheng Jie stared at everyone majestically. The tiger's disease was strong and the king of Qingdu glanced at them. The generals were all awe-inspiring.
"Gu is feeling unwell, so I have summoned all the ministers. I have three things to announce: first, that Gu's illness must not be leaked, and anyone who spreads the word will be killed; second, Zheng Kai is ordered to command the entire army on Gu's behalf, and you should be treated as such."
Just like I am alone, I listen to the orders of General Zheng Kai; thirdly, starting from tomorrow, General Zheng Kai will command the siege of the city, and Hue must be captured within three days."
"I respectfully obey the king's orders."
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely capture Hue. There is a shortage of medicine and medicine on the battlefield. Please return to Thang Long to recuperate the dragon's body."
"Please ask the King of Qingdu to return to the capital to recuperate the dragon's body." All the generals knelt down and begged.
Zheng Zhen sighed, "No, I will send the orphan to Qinghua, and the leaves will fall back to their roots. I will stay in the Zheng family's ancestral land. After the orphan's death, are you willing to make the orphan's son Zheng Zha the king?"
All the generals burst into tears: "I will do my best to serve the Crown Prince."
Zheng Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Send someone to summon Zhaer quickly to Qinghua to meet him." After saying this, he actually fell asleep.
Zheng Kai urgently sent his brother to Thanh Hoa, and also sent a horse to ask his nephew Zheng Zha to rush to Thanh Hoa.
After finishing these tasks, Zheng Kai said to the generals: "The greatest wish of King Qingdu in his lifetime is to unify Annan. Tomorrow, you will all fight to the death to comfort King Qingdu."
The Ai soldiers were bound to win, and the next day, the Zheng army's offensive was particularly fierce.
Dinh Wen Zuo, the right commander of the Zheng army, led the navy to storm Hue Port. With the help of five Dutch ships, he sank, damaged and captured more than a hundred Nguyen army warships, severely damaging the Nguyen navy.
Zheng Kai led the generals Zheng Gen, Ruan Youdeng, and Gong Pu Zhong to attack Hue City with all their strength. They rushed to the city wall many times, but were driven down by the Ruan army again.
??
Ruan Phu Ming arrived at Hoi An Port by speedboat. He didn't even bother to drink. He hurriedly asked to see Yang Wu, the uncle of Ming Dynasty, and the governor Hu Zhigong. "Bo An Nan, Hu Futai, Hue is in danger, please ask the heaven to send reinforcements quickly!"

At this time, the two men no longer shied away and took the lead, and the Lu division marched towards Hue.
The two originally had 30,000 soldiers, but they left 3,000 to garrison the newly acquired areas of Gia Lai and Kun Hao. There were still 27,000 soldiers left, plus 10,000 soldiers each from Zhenla Kingdom and Champa Kingdom.
Horses, a total of 47,000 soldiers and horses went to Hue City to kill.
When the Ming army arrived near Hue, several large gaps were opened in the northern city of Hue, and Zheng's army swarmed in through the gaps.
Ruan Phu Ping led his troops to retreat into the inner city. Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin saw that the situation was not good, led thousands of remaining soldiers to defeat, and opened the south city gate to break out.
As soon as the Ming army set up camp, the defeated troops of Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin arrived.
When he saw the two of them, Ruan Phuc Ming was shocked: "Where is the wise master?"
"The wise master led his troops to retreat to the inner city, and there is more danger than good!"
Ruan Fuming was furious and cursed: "You two ignored the safety of the wise master and only focused on breaking out of the encirclement and escaping for your own lives. You are really wolf-hearted!"
The second general was so ashamed that he did not dare to talk back.
Nguyen Phuoc Minh hurriedly begged Hu Chi Chong, "The Lord is trapped in the inner city of Hue. Please ask Hu Futai to send a large army to rescue him quickly. If it is too late, it will be too late."
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhigong had a troubled expression on his face, "General Ruan doesn't know something. Your Majesty has appointed General to Conquer the South, and Annan Bo Yang Wu is in control of the entire army. If you want to mobilize troops, you must obtain the consent of Commander Yang."
Ruan Fuming ran to Yang Wu's tent, but found no one. The guards said that the commander had left the camp to inspect the enemy's situation and had not yet returned to the camp.
I had no choice but to wait in the tent. As soon as it got dark, Yang Wucai Shi Shiran came back.
As soon as he saw Yang Wu, Ruan Fuming hurriedly knelt down and begged in tears: "My wise master is in great danger. I beg General Pingnan to send troops to rescue him quickly."
Yang Wu refused, "It's getting late at this time. Being ambushed is no joke. Let's send troops tomorrow."
"Rescuing troops is like putting out fire, please help General Pingnan!"
Ruan Fuming begged repeatedly.
Yang Wu's face sank, "As the commander-in-chief, how can I put tens of thousands of soldiers in danger for your lord's life? Come on, let me drag this man out."
The personal guards dragged Ruan Phuc Ming out of the tent. Ruan Phuc Ming refused to leave and cried bitterly outside the tent. He cried so hard that the sun and the moon dimmed.
Yang Wu couldn't stand it anymore, so he sneaked out from behind the tent and came to see Hu Zhigong, "Oh, Brother Hu, this Ruan Fuming is a loyal minister! He was crying so hard that I couldn't bear to hear it. You made me not save Ruan Fuming."
, is it a bit too cruel to let him be eliminated by the Zheng family?"
Hu Zhigong laughed, "I thought that General Ping Nan had gone through bloody battles with the Holy One and killed countless enemies, and his heart had been hardened as iron. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a compassionate person. There is nothing you can do. Since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Ruan Fu is on the verge of death. This Guangzhou
It is impossible for the Southern Kingdom to truly surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this man must die. If the Zheng family does not kill him, I will also get rid of him."
After Yang Wu heard this, his heart trembled, and he secretly thought that this Hu Futai, who usually looked smiling and like a Maitreya Buddha, would act so ruthlessly. He would have to be careful when working with him in the future.
Then he asked again: "I wonder what Futai's plan is for the Guangnan Kingdom that controls the Ruan family?"
Hu Zhigong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no other, it's just the words 'Master Shao Guo Yi'".
??
Zheng Kai heard that Nguyen Phuc Bin had fled into the inner city, so he ordered heavy artillery to be brought into the city, blasted against the city wall, and set up ladders on all sides to attack the city.
Only a few hundred personal guards followed Nguyen Phuc Bin and fled into the inner city. They couldn't resist and the city wall fell.
Ruan Phuc withdrew to the main hall and sighed, "If you are a king, how can you be a prisoner under the rank?"
Orders were given to pile up firewood and light fires, and Ruan's palace suddenly turned into a sea of flames.
The fire that soared into the sky was not extinguished until the early morning of the next day, and the great hero Nguyen Phuc Ping was reduced to ashes.
