On the official road of Beikun Mountain to the north of Tingchao City, the army of Dafeng County was advancing rapidly, and the dust and mist kicked up by the wildebeests flew high, almost covering half of the sky.
One of the forward generals turned around and shouted loudly: "Commander, Tingchao City is ahead of us!"
"Okay! I hope we are not late!" A dignified-looking middle-aged man not far behind nodded and responded.
…
In the outer city of Tingchao Harbor, Li Yun and Ping Nanhou stood on the city, looking at the direction inside and outside, looking quite anxious.
"Report! The South Vietnamese fleet is about a day away from here!" A spy hurried over and shouted.
"Okay! Let's explore again!" Ping Nanhou said loudly.
"Yes!" The spy left in a hurry.
Pingnanhou looked at the various trap projects that had been gradually completed between the inner and outer cities, and his mood improved slightly, and he said: "Master Li, even if the army cannot arrive in time, we can hold them off here and delay them for a long time.
"
"That's right! As long as we can hold off, we can always have a chance to turn defeat into victory. However, we may pay a heavier price." Li Yun sighed.
Ping Nanhou nodded slowly, suddenly his ears moved, and he looked north, his eyes lit up!
"Sir, it seems our opportunity has come!"
Li Yun looked up and saw the yellow dust mist rising in the distance, and a bright smile finally broke out on his face.
"Report! The Gale County army has arrived!"
"Okay, welcome immediately!"
Li Yun and Ping Nanhou immediately hurried to the front to greet the army.
Soon after the army from Dafeng County arrived, the armies from Dayu County and Dayun County also arrived one after another, which gave Li Yun ample space for his troops to form.
…
Qin Yi and Miss Xianxian were sitting bored when suddenly a special guard quickly handed over a secret order: "Operation begins!"
Qin Yi cheered up and made a gesture to the special guard. His figure flashed and he disappeared.
In the Colosseum, Chen Gangba was waiting with the masters of the clan, and a special guard quickly handed over a secret order: "The operation begins!"
"Haha! Catch those two animal trainers immediately and beat them severely!"
"yes!"
At the west gate of the inner city, Yang Weizhong was chatting with Du Qingshu, and a special agent quickly handed over a secret order: "The operation begins!"
"Do it!"
"yes!"
After receiving action orders from various forces deployed in Chao City, they took action one after another and eliminated various hostile forces hidden in the city.
…
On the boundless sea, clouds and mist shrouded, and a large fleet loomed in the sea mist, slowly approaching the Tianlong Empire's Tingchao Port.
"Your Highness, the Tingchao City area should be in front of us!" Ruan Dan shouted loudly.
"Haha! Okay! It's so great!" Prince Yingji drank wine, holding a beautiful girl who had been robbed in one hand, and laughed heartily.
"Your Highness, we are nearly a day late than originally planned and have not been able to see the signal from the city. It is better to wait until the end to send someone into the city and contact the internal response before making a decision!" Ruan Dan said.
"No need, we can just rush in after dark! What kind of protection can a small town like this have? When my army rushes in, it will be overwhelming and easy to capture!" Prince Yingji laughed.
"This... Your Highness, war is not a child's play. We must be fully confident before starting a war. Otherwise, if something happens, how will we explain it to the emperor? How will we explain it to the people?" Ruan Dan said.
"Bold! Do you still need to teach me how to fight? I have read many more military books than you! I have participated in the planning of this action plan. It can be said to be extremely thorough and foolproof! The opponent is a small city, and there is no way
Maybe they are aware that we are coming to attack, and even if they know our actions, they will not be able to mobilize a large army to fight us in the short term. Therefore, even if we attack right now, there is nothing wrong. However, I still be careful.
Be cautious and command this battle with a responsible attitude towards the South Vietnamese soldiers! Let the soldiers eat and drink enough, recharge their batteries, and wait until dark. When the time comes, we will cover up and kill them.
Leave no trace behind!"
"This...obeys your order!"
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Ruan Dan had no choice but to order the sergeants to eat and rest first.
…
As night fell, the sky was shrouded in darkness, and even the moon didn't know where to hide.
Yingji and Ruan Dan stood on the big boat, looking into the distance with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Your Highness, please wait a little longer. Maybe there will be some movement inside."
The atmosphere this night was a bit solemn. Yingji seemed to have been drunk and had a clear head. He nodded slowly.
Huh!
The two of them suddenly shouted softly at the same time.
"Your Highness, there is fire!" Ruan Dan shouted in surprise.
In the dark night sky in the distance, a blazing fire suddenly lit up, and its signal was the same as the previously agreed siege signal.
"That's right! It seems that they have occupied the Tingchao Platform and released the blood mosquitoes. It must be a tragic scene of plague in Tingchao City at this time." Prince Yingji said excitedly.
"Then we...attack?!" Ruan Dan asked.
"Wait a minute, let the soldiers sprinkle the prepared powder on their bodies first to prevent mosquito bites. Then let the ship approach slowly." Yingji said calmly at this time.
Ruan Dan immediately sent the order down.
After about an hour, the fleet finally slowly entered the port.
What caught their eyes was a tall and long city wall. There seemed to be sparse human figures on the wall, and scattered lanterns were hung.
"Your Highness, it seems a little too quiet!" Ruan Dan whispered.
"Don't worry, the Blood Mosquitoes are out. I'm afraid most of the Tianlong Defense Forces have been recruited now. It's normal to be quiet." Yingji analyzed.
"I'm still a little worried..." Ruan Dan said with a solemn expression.
"Let's do it first. Let a team get off the boat. After landing, the attackers will go in and see how the situation goes before making a decision!" Prince Yingji ordered.
"That's right! Let a team explore the path first, so that nothing goes wrong!" Ruan Dan agreed.
Soon, a large ship at the front put down many small boats, with a small group of soldiers on each small boat. They began paddling and quietly headed towards the beach.
After the boat ran aground on the beach, the soldiers began to gather, about a thousand of them, carrying siege tools and marching quickly under the cover of night.
The soldiers climbed up the ladder to the city wall and quickly cut down the few defenders who were guarding the city wall who did not know how to dodge. They quickly took control of a tower and opened the city gate.
The leading general immediately lit a torch on the tower and started shaking it.
"Your Highness! They succeeded!" Ruan Dan shouted excitedly.
"That's right! I'm sure that the crown prince has everything. Now you can attack Tingchao City with confidence! Order the whole army to disembark and board the city for me immediately, and use all your strength to kill hard!"
"As you command!"
Ruan Dan immediately jumped on the ship platform, shook the torch in his hand, and made various action signals, and the South Vietnamese army began a full-scale attack.
…
On a high slope not far from Haiphong Outer City, Li Yun and Ping Nanhou led a group of soldiers to hide in the dark and observe the enemy's situation.
"Sir, they are finally moving!" Ping Nanhou said excitedly.
"Okay! Order the ambush troops from Dafeng County and Dayu County on the peninsula to dispatch now!" Li Yun ordered.
"Yes!" Ping Nanhou ordered immediately.
"Their forward soldiers have crossed the outer city and are about to reach the trap area. Do you want to start taking action?!" Marquis Pingnan asked urgently.
"Wait a little longer." Li Yun said flatly.
Ping Nanhou looked at the steady stream of South Vietnamese soldiers coming up from the sea and felt a little chilly. He looked at Li Yun and found that he was actually calm and composed, and he felt admiration.
"Sir, have you ever seen such a war scene?"
"This... doesn't."
"Aren't you afraid at all?"
"Not afraid."
"I admire you."
"you flatter me!"
"Can we issue an order now?" Marquis Pingnan began to feel nervous as he watched more and more soldiers pour into the outer city and attack the inner city.
"wait!"
"When...will this wait?!"
"Did you see that they have sixty-five ships, including forty fleets carrying soldiers, ten logistic fleets, and fifteen plundered ships, with three thousand soldiers per ship, plus
Some soldiers from the logistics fleet participated in the battle, and the number of troops they participated in the attack was about 150,000. At this time, they have landed 50,000 people. When the number of people landed reaches 80,000, it will be the best time for us to launch an attack!"
Li Yun analyzed.
Ping Nanhou was dumbfounded and asked after a moment of silence: "Why do you say that was the best moment?"
"With a hit, this is their most chaotic moment!"
"good…"
Ping Nanhou suddenly calmed down completely. Standing next to Li Yun, he felt particularly safe and dignified.
After a while, Marquis Pingnan reminded: "Sir, the South Vietnamese soldiers who entered first are about to attack the inner city!"
Li Yun waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, now is the time! Turn off the engine!"
Pingnanhou immediately appeared from a high place, holding the torch in a downward and swaying posture.
Boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
The soldiers in the inner city received the order and immediately launched the trap. A large area of land suddenly collapsed for no reason. Bows and arrows shot out like raindrops from the inner city, and various rolling logs and boulders were thrown wildly.
The South Vietnamese soldiers under the inner city were caught off guard and fell in large numbers, screaming and rushing to their death!
Some soldiers behind saw that the situation was not good and began to retreat, but they directly collided with the soldiers pouring in from behind, and the scene suddenly became chaotic!
Suddenly, a large number of warriors appeared on the wall of the outer city of Haiphong. All of them were vigorous and powerful in mystical skills. The arrows in their hands rained down on the South Vietnamese soldiers below the city.
The South Vietnamese soldiers who came in early were immediately in danger of being annihilated both internally and externally.
"Not good! Your Highness, there is an ambush!"
Ruan Dan saw the military situation in front from behind and knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately shouted.
"How...how could this happen?" Yingji was a little panicked.
"Your Highness, there must be something wrong within Xirong. Don't abandon the soldiers anymore, gather the troops in the front and have a good fight with them!" Ruan Dan said decisively.
"Okay... I'll listen to you! You take charge!"
Yingji was so frightened that he had no choice but to grasp at Ruan Dan's life-saving straw.
After all, Ruan Dan has been on the battlefield for a long time. At this critical moment, he actually remained calm in the face of danger and immediately commanded the South Vietnamese army, fighting and retreating.
Retreating to the beach, they were not in a hurry to board the boat and return to the ship. Instead, they set up a defensive formation and continued to absorb the returning soldiers. The battle formation was slowly expanded and reinforced.
…
"It seems that there are experts in the South Vietnamese army!" Li Yun sighed.
"It's a pity that they have lost the opportunity. Otherwise, with their military strength, they must be a tough guy." Ping Nanhou sighed.
"good!"
Li Yun ordered: "Let the Dayun County army ambushing on both sides of the beach launch an attack! Form a battle formation to stop them!"
Ping Nanhou immediately changed the posture of the torch in his hand, waving it crosswise from left to right.
"shoot!"
The marshal of the Dayun County army saw the signal and immediately gave the order.
Suddenly, there was a hail of arrows, shooting wildly at the South Vietnamese troops assembled on the beach.
"not good!"
Ruan Dan was stunned and thought: "I didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful. There are even ambushes on the beach. This shows that the enemy has already known about this operation!"
