Zheng Zha, the eldest son of King Zheng Zhi of the Qing Dynasty and the eldest son of the Zheng family, personally commanded 80,000 troops and horses to support the defense line in the northern mountainous area where Zheng Guiyong was located.
He traveled day and night to the defense line in the northern mountainous area.
The Zheng family's internal fighting is very fierce. Without military power, it is meat on the chopping block.
His father came to power through mutiny, and he regarded military power as extremely important.
As the crown prince, Zheng Zha had never had the opportunity to gain military power before. He cherished this opportunity to command the army very much.
This is a good opportunity to train his cronies and gather his subordinates to gain military power.
If he can lead the troops and fight several battles with outstanding results, the prince's position will be stable.
Zheng's generals highly recognized the Lord who could lead them to victory.
Zheng Zha was in the commander's tent, looking at the map. He saw his confidant Wu Shilu walking into the tent with a livid face.
Wu Shilu immediately knelt on the ground, sweat broke out on his forehead, his legs were trembling, his throat was trembling, and his words were unclear.
This kind of bombardment is not a large scale for the Imperial Army of China.
He was very heartbroken when he lost his eldest son, and even more heartbroken when he lost his 100,000-strong army.
He knew that frontline generals failed and often exaggerated.
"That's good, that's good."
Of this 80,000-strong army, there are less than 20,000 elite soldiers wearing armor, and the rest are farmers with spears. They have not been in the army for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.
Even if we ask for help, there is a high chance that Nan Ruan will not come to help, so we cannot place our hopes on Nan Ruan."
When Zheng Zha heard the news, he gritted his teeth and drew out the sword from his waist.
Gu Guangnian looked at this scene that looked like a massacre.
Gu Guangnian issued the order to attack, and the Royal Army of Dahua began to charge towards the Vietnamese army formation in company and platoon units.
Wu Shilu immediately replied: "Sir, when I learned about the news, I immediately controlled Zheng Guiyong and his party.
There is no doubt about this war. The 80,000 Vietnamese troops will be wiped out by them.
The army of the Kingdom of Heaven crossed the sea and cut off our connection with Nan Ruan.
He also wanted to thank Zheng Guiyong for guiding the Royal Army of China to the reinforcement camp of the Vietnamese army.
After Wei Guogong Su Hu made the decision, the army immediately mobilized.
"Zheng Guiyong deserves to die, Zheng Guiyong deserves to die, it's only been a few days, and he hasn't even been able to hold on for half a month."
Makeshift machine gun positions were built using sacks filled with sand.
This machine gun is similar to the later Maxim heavy machine gun.
Gu Guangnian also wanted to lead troops to capture the prisoners.
Carrying only five water-cooled heavy machine guns, they had arrived 800 meters away from the Vietnamese army.
The Third Army was closest to the Vietnamese camp and could launch an attack in the shortest time.
We are waiting for change, waiting for the situation to change, and there may be a glimmer of hope."
The army has not yet come into contact with the Chinese army and retreats directly. He will bear all the responsibility.
They want to eat these 80,000 Vietnamese troops.
Now the road between us and Nan Ruan has been completely cut off by the Chinese army, and we can no longer go to Nan Ruan to ask for help."
He ordered the entire division to bury pots and make rice so that the soldiers could regain their strength as soon as possible while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
He ordered: "Zheng Guiyong was the commander-in-chief, but his command was incompetent, resulting in the loss of all defense lines in the northern mountainous area.
Gu Guangnian waited until the friendly troops of the Third Army had arrived at the designated position.
I believe that peace is the most important thing and there should not be too much conflict with the Celestial Empire.
His mouth was open for a long time before closing.
Gu Guangnian saw five water-cooled heavy machine guns firing, like five fierce fire snakes, sweeping towards the Vietnamese army position.
The last general's troops were basically wiped out, and the Chinese army was too powerful to fight, and our army was simply unable to resist."
Zheng Zha knew that they were too close to the Chinese army.
Duke Guo of Wei also issued an order to attack, and he commanded the army to begin the attack.
What do you think this king should do to withstand the Celestial Army?"
Many generals in front of the formation have already made plans to retreat.
The King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Jie, saw that the core civil servants and military generals of the Zheng family were present, and he told these people the news from the front line.
It is impossible to retreat now, as there are still troops in the rear that continue to advance north.
…………………………
He broke the ice and spoke first: "Lord, I feel that with the strength of our small country and its few people, we cannot withstand the attack of the higher country.
It is the latest product of the Dahua Royal Weapons Research Institute. It is only a test product and has not yet been mass-produced.
His face changed drastically, and he immediately summoned his confidants in the palace to discuss matters.
There must be some misunderstandings between our two countries.
Whoever you send to Nan Ruan, that old boy Ruan Fulan, will definitely humiliate him to the extreme.
When the King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zheng, heard the news, his vision went dark and he almost fainted to the ground.
An unobstructed battlefield is the favorite battlefield for water-cooled heavy machine guns.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one offered any strategies.
Qin Xiangkun, the commander of the Third Army, refused to give in and said: "The Vietnamese army has poor combat effectiveness and was defeated in one blow. Our Third Army fought very easily.
Seven days later, a somewhat scattered army arrived at Shenglong City.
Su Hu pointed at the sand table and issued an order: "This time, the Third Army will be the main attack force and annihilate all the enemy forces.
I hope that the Qing Dynasty King Zheng Jie will surrender to the Great China Dynasty.
After Gu Guangnian saw the machine gun fire, the Vietnamese army could no longer hold on and the army immediately collapsed.
In the headquarters of the Royal Army of Great China, the generals listened to the news detected from the sky by the hot-air balloon observation post.
After the King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Jie, thought about the pros and cons, he ordered: "Zheng Juan, I am sending you as an envoy to Nan Ruan."
If you have any clever strategies, you can present them to me."
After Song Chengren spoke, many civil servants and military generals expressed their opinions one after another. They were all frightened by the force of the Celestial Kingdom.
How did the Lord deal with himself after surrendering, and how did the Zheng family deal with themselves.
He slammed his hand on the table and said in anger and panic: "It took ten days for the Chinese army to break through the defense line in the northern mountainous area, and three days to destroy the reinforcements led by Zheng Zha.
“I have decided that I will live and die with Vietnam.
In the name of weapons testing, Wei Guogong Su Hu brought these five powerful weapons to the battlefield.
It is in the mountains and forests, and cannot exert its power because of the obstacles of cliffs and woods.
The water-cooled heavy machine gun no longer has six barrels, it only has one barrel.
They voluntarily surrendered to the Dahua Dynasty, and they could still maintain their glory and wealth, but who wanted to continue to fight for it.
His mentality immediately became unbalanced, and he tried his best to make the army march as fast as possible, which was not as fast as Zheng Guiyong's defeat.
This army also attacked our army and lost 10,000 troops before getting rid of the enemy's attack.
With Nan Ruan's help, it is likely that the war will be delayed for a long time.
When he heard the news, he immediately stood up and held the long sword at his waist with his right hand involuntarily.
Once the 80,000 Vietnamese troops retreat, they will surely fall into chaos.
Immediately take Zheng Guiyong to my camp, there are some matters that I want to personally interrogate him."
If a large number of his men die, the general's rights will be reduced, and he will most likely be regarded as an outcast and bear the responsibility for the defeat.
Civil servant Song Chengren saw that everyone was silent.
A large number of Vietnamese soldiers were killed by artillery shells. This hellish scene continuously broke down the psychological defense of the Vietnamese army.
He did not have the prestige of his father, Zheng Zhi, and was afraid of the general who commanded the army. He refused to obey his orders and directly chose to flee back to Shenglong Mansion.
Zheng Zha thought for a while and then ordered: "Send an order for the whole camp to set up camp here and set up defensive formations.
Zheng Zha looked a little more relaxed.
Wei Yunshang did not compete with Qin Xiangkun, but he was basically satisfied with the task of attacking Shenglong Mansion.
The 80,000 Vietnamese troops escaping back to Thang Long will cause great trouble to the Royal Army of Great Britain's next operations.
Zheng Zha was sitting on a chair, looking at the map quietly, with a very leisurely look.
He gave the order and his soldiers launched a general attack.
Gu Guangnian led his troops in pursuit of Zheng Guiyong.
But for the Vietnamese army, they had never seen such a scene.
But in order to do so, we must bow to Nan Ruan, and may even make Nan Ruan grow bigger and annex their Zheng family.
The King of Qingdu, Zheng Jie, had a very troubled expression. He knew that asking for help from Nan Ruan was the only possible option now.
The physical fitness of the Royal Army soldier far exceeds that of the army. Under normal circumstances, he would have already caught up with Zheng Guiyong.
Wei Yunshang, commander of the Tenth Army, immediately stood up and said: "The Third Army is already very tired. Mr. Wei Guogong, leave the rest of the war to our Tenth Army!"
Others surrender and can maintain their glory and wealth.
He immediately stood up and said: "Lord, we must not surrender.
Many Vietnamese generals were a little shaken when they saw the heavy casualties among their subordinates.
Zheng Juan came to the King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhi, knelt down and cried: "I am incompetent and unable to complete the task assigned by the Lord.
Song Chengren immediately retorted: "How could the Lord bow to Nan Ruan?
Wu Shilu's expression softened slightly and he said again: "Your Majesty, General Zheng Guiyong was defeated by the Chinese army.
When the King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Jie, heard what Zheng Juan said, he smiled.
The King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhe, saw that these were the elite soldiers from the south that he had transferred earlier, and he also saw the figure of Zheng Juan.
Zheng Huang spoke again and said: "Lord, I, Jianyi, unite with Nanruan.
The Chinese army only carried out a wave of charges, and the elite Vietnamese army collapsed immediately, and the position could not be defended for even a day.
These people's plans were very shrewd. If the Hua Dynasty wanted to rule Dai Viet, it must have local officials to cooperate in governance.
He ran out with more than 500 cavalry, and all the defense lines in the northern mountainous area were lost.
Zheng Guiyong approached the commander's tent tremblingly. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Commander, this is not a command mistake by the general.
Zheng Zha suppressed his anger and asked: "General Wu, does anyone know about this matter? Has the news of Zheng Guiyong's failure been spread?"
Mainly using 75mm artillery pieces and mortars, they launched a violent bombardment against the Vietnamese army.
The army had just left the mountainous area, but the roads had not yet been opened and heavy artillery could not be transported out of the mountainous area.
Our army is no longer in danger and will face the attack of the Chinese army."
In early February, we will definitely be able to reach Thang Long City.
…………………………
Zheng Juan immediately said: "I am willing to send Nanruan as an envoy and will try my best to bring in reinforcements.
The palace in Thang Long City is even more luxurious than the royal palace. King Zheng Zheng of Qing Dynasty, who was just about to go to court, heard the news from his confidants.
They encountered the Royal Army of Great China, which had become an organic thermal weapon army. This approach could only be a mantis trying to defeat the enemy.
Zheng Zha felt that Zheng Guiyong was exaggerating. The army he led should be able to hold back for a few days and slowly retreat, so there should be no problem.
He was afraid that the news of Zheng Guiyong's defeat would spread, causing the whole camp to collapse.
It can fire more than 600 rounds per minute.
Most people are in despair and do not think they can stop the Celestial Kingdom's attack this time.
When Gu Guangnian saw that the Vietnamese army was entrenched, he did not lead his army in pursuit.
But Zheng Guiyong was familiar with the terrain and escaped by taking a small road.
As soon as Zheng Zhi, the king of the Qing capital, said these words, the atmosphere became even colder than before.
But what Zheng Guiyong said was too powerful. The Chinese army could really be that strong.
The Royal Army of China is guarding a special weapon.
"General Wu, what did you say? Say it again."
A battlefield veteran like him couldn't help but sigh: "This weapon is so powerful. It is simply the best weapon to harvest the battlefield."
They are less than half a month away from Shenglong Mansion.
Gu Guangnian also saw friendly troops outflanking the Vietnamese army from both sides of the battlefield.
Zheng Juan, a key member of the Zheng family, saw the voices of everyone surrendering.
If this army under his command can delay the Celestial Army for some time, it can also buy time for his father to prepare.
Even though he wasted a lot of time, he did not lose Zheng Guiyong.
All officials in the imperial court can surrender, but only the Lord cannot surrender."
Duke Su Hu of Wei looked at the situation of the two armies on the sand table.
Take Zheng Guiyong into custody until I return to the army and hand him over to my father."
Mobilize the Zheng family's troops and quickly assemble to Thang Long Mansion. At the same time, they recruit the people in the city to assist the Vietnamese army in defending the city.
Under the cover of artillery, the Royal Army of China continued to advance.
Our army is now closest to the battlefield, so in order to prevent the Vietnamese army from running away, the main attack should be handed over to us."
The Vietnamese troops swept by bullets fell one after another like wheat cut by a sickle.
I think we should send an envoy to the Chinese army to clarify the misunderstanding between the two countries."
After he issued this order, he issued several more orders in succession.
The Chinese army rushed out of the mountainous area and was only more than three miles away from us.
The King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Jie, slowly opened his eyes and said in a lonely tone: "God will destroy me, the Zheng family!"
The Vietnamese army belongs to the traditional feudal military system, with soldiers as generals.
Gu Guangnian could already see the Vietnamese army camp with his binoculars.
Our family alone cannot withstand the mighty army of the Heavenly Kingdom.
The Chinese army not far away launched a charge, but they had no chance of winning.
If you don't tell the enemy that he has unparalleled combat power, you will expose the fact that he is a coward.
The news of his defeat has not spread yet."
With the soldiers under his command, he was confident of defeating the Vietnamese army, but it was still difficult to completely annihilate the Vietnamese army.
His father, Zheng Jie, received news of the Celestial Empire's southern invasion and had already transferred 60,000 elite troops from the south to confront Nan Ruan.
I believe that Duke Renjun Ruan Fulan knows the truth of death and coldness. If our Zheng family is wiped out by the Heavenly Kingdom, the Ruan family will never be able to survive alone."
Even if the Chinese army fails this time, they can mobilize another hundred thousand troops to attack us at any time.
The Vietnamese army used a military formation composed of horses, mule carts and spearmen to deal with the cold weapon army, which could delay the attack for a long time.
The Tenth Army is now preparing heavy artillery, and the task of attacking Sheng Long Mansion will be left to you."
There is a strange book in the Kingdom of Heaven called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in which Lu Su advises Sun Quan, and the situation described is roughly the same as now.
Zheng Zhuan, with quick eyesight and quick hands, immediately stepped forward to support Zheng Jie, the king of Qingdu.
Zheng Zha asked Zheng Guiyong in detail about his experience, and his brows kept furrowing.
It can be loaded and fired through the power generated when the bullet is fired.
When the Qing Dynasty King Zheng Zhen saw everyone and learned about the war situation, they all remained silent.
The king has already issued an order before, and the 60,000 elite soldiers from the south will arrive at Shenglong Mansion in the near future.
Zheng Juan encouraged: "Lord, we are not defeated yet. As long as we can hold on to Shenglong City, we still have a chance to reverse the situation of the war."
Reinforcements entered the city, and the news that there were no more reinforcements from the north to the south spread quickly in the city, and the morale in the city became even lower.
Many dignitaries of the Zheng family are packing up their belongings and preparing to escape from Thang Long City.
The civil servants and military generals had different ideas and were prepared to use various means to preserve themselves and their families.
