Even if someone wants them to die, in order not to die, it can only be someone else's death.

Although there seems to be a bit of a mouthpiece to say this, but this is the case, the Jiaozhi soldiers who want to survive and want to surrender in their hearts surrounded Huang Hua and several of his personal soldiers. Then I don't know who stabbed the first knife, and after a burst of ping-pong weapon impact, Huang Hua was killed, his body was thrown to the city ladder, and then the high white flag was hung.

The rapid fall of the Jiaozhi East City Tower was completely unexpected by the crown prince Li Yuanlong, and when he heard the news in the palace, the whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, and stood there for a long time without moving.

"Prince, Prince, you have nothing to do, His Royal Highness the Prince." Several young civil and military courtiers walked up to Li Yuanlong with eager and concerned expressions. There were also some old ministers who shook their heads and quickly ran towards the depths of the palace.

The crown prince Li Yuanlong, who was shaken, finally came to his senses after a few breaths, and the first thing he said was, "Fight, fight back, we must recapture the Dongcheng Tower and drive those mercenaries out of Hanoi City." ”

"The prince can rest assured, someone has already done this. Not only that, but the ten iron cars we just built are also ready to be sent over. Li Shaozhong, the general on the side, said comfortingly, he was also preparing to go to the front to supervise the battle, to see if he could snatch the east city gate back.

"Okay, okay." Listening to Li Shaozhong's arrangement, Li Yuanlong's face looked much better, and his nervous mood seemed to be relieved. Just as he was thinking about what measures to take next, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, that is, in the depths of the palace, and then a male duck's voice came out: "The king has arrived." ”

"See Your Majesty." All the courtiers, including the crown prince Li Yuanlong, also knelt on the ground for the first time.

"Humph!" They were answered by a cold and unhappy voice, and then on the golden chair of the palace hall, King Li Li was supported and seated on it.

Li Li is indeed very old, and he should have been dead at this time in history. But because of Yang Chendong's arrival, he is still alive, and in addition to looking older, his spirit is still good, at least his face is full of red light, which is much better than those courtiers who were affected by the chaos and turned pale.

Sitting on the golden chair, Li Li's gaze was like a tiger king patrolling his territory, and he first looked around, and many of the courtiers and generals he was eyeing couldn't help but bow their heads.

Seemingly satisfied with this effect, Li Li shook his head lightly when his eyes fell on Li Yuanlong's body again, "Prince, why do you just want to fight with them?" Do you think that the other party will exit even after killing the city gate? You've disappointed your father so much. ”

"It's... The child is dull, please ask the father to teach him. Li Yuanlong really didn't know what to say, the situation was so chaotic and unbearable by him, he did have an unshirkable responsibility, which was also a very heavy blow to his prestige as a prince.

In the past, because Li Yuanlong was calm and generous, he really united a lot of important ministers and generals, so that there were some times when King Li Li gave orders and was worried about his feelings. There are even people who say in private that the king is getting older and should consider abdicating the throne. Only a young king will lead the country of Cochin, and it will be more likely to go to glory.

Among such voices, especially in Jiuzhen County, where the prince is located, the voice is the highest. After all, the crown prince stayed there to govern, and some local officials relied on the sky to be far away, and few people would take the old king Li Li in their eyes.

If this continues in the long run, it will obviously be very bad for the situation in the entire Cochin country. It's not impossible that there will even be a full-fledged martial arts. King Le Le had his own intelligence system, so he was naturally well aware of this information. He didn't want to give up when he was alive, and he didn't want to see the father and son turn against each other, in order to divert everyone's attention, the envoy sent by King Min arrived at this time, and he agreed to send troops to Nanming.

never thought that King Min was so snobbish that he had just gained power and left them behind. Nan Ming, he just wanted a princess and relatives to show goodwill, and at the same time to increase his authority in the country of Jiaozhi, so he provoked mercenaries to come from afar, and there was such a chaotic situation now.

Surrender to the crown prince, if you can do it, you will naturally be the king's discerning person. If it doesn't work, it will be regarded as suppressing the prince's arrogance. So all along, Li Li has been watching everything coldly, without the slightest intention of making a move. Until now, the national capital has been opened, and it is time for him to stand up and preside over the overall situation and turn the tide.

As soon as he appeared, he first reprimanded Li Yuanlong, and strongly suppressed the prince's arrogance, this hand came out, and some people who originally wanted to praise the prince's stinky feet had to think deeply, the old king is still there, do they have to be more restrained in what they do?

While some of the courtiers were considering their next position, King Lili's voice came out again, but there was a sense of gloom and twilight in this voice. "Now that they have entered the city, then we will leave, pass on the order, the east city gate still continues to resist, but there is no need to be too fierce, only need to delay their progress, as for the others, withdraw from Hanoi City and go to Xiyu City. There, General Fan Yuhai was already waiting for us with a large number of warriors. ”

"What?" As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked up in confusion. Although it is true that the mercenaries captured the East City Gate, for Hanoi, the capital of Cochin, it still has the power to resist, and even in the eyes of many people, if they are willing to pay a big price, it is not impossible to counterattack and recapture the city gate. But why quit? What made them even more unexpected was that it seemed that the king had long known that things would develop like this, and he actually arranged heavy troops in Xiyu City, and they also said that they couldn't see Fan Yuhai just now, it turned out that they had another important task.

Many people couldn't figure it out, so they fell on the crown prince Li Yuanlong, who was also kneeling on the ground. Apparently he wanted the prince to stand up and question the king.

Noticed by so many expectant eyes, Li Yuanlong really wanted to stand up and say something, and when he was still thinking about how to speak, Li Li, the king on the golden chair, took the first step and said: "By the way, I just received the news that most of Jiuzhen County has been captured by mercenaries, and now Rinan County is also in danger." ”

"Plop", this is the sound of the prince just trying to get up and falling to the ground again.

Jiuzhen County is the base camp of the prince, and it is also the foundation of the foundation. Over the past few years, he has placed all the officials there properly, and it can be said that his orders there are far more useful and effective than those of his father. This is also the place that Li Yuanlong relies on. He just wanted to say that he would arrange for Jiuzhen County to send troops to relieve the siege of Hanoi City.

But now it has been conquered. This result was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he was instantly hit on the ground, and the only essence in his body seemed to be drained at this moment.

The performance of the crown prince fell into the eyes of some people, and they quickly made a choice, which was to continue to support King Li Li. Look, Jiang is still old and spicy, just a few words, the prince's prestige has fallen to the lowest point, I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in a few years.

Even the crown prince didn't object, and the other courtiers dared to question it. Besides, Jiuzhen County has been captured, that is, the mercenaries are playing really, in this way, Hanoi City is really not guaranteed, so it is better to take a step back and retreat to Xiyu City. Some people even think that even if they retreat to Xiyu City, it may not be the end.

Fortunately, the king also said just now that General Fan Yuhai, who originally transferred troops according to the prince's order, had already gone to Xiyu City at this time, and a lot of soldiers and horses had been gathered there on the king's order.

With the appearance of the king, the courtiers, who did not know what to do, quickly went to make arrangements. After all, the family business is in Hanoi City, and now that he suddenly says that he wants to leave here, I'm afraid it's also very troublesome to clean up, and there is no one who can't do it in three or five days.

It seems that King Le Le also saw the problem, and he waved his hand and said, "Remember, there are only two days, and from now on some things will be transported to the west of the city." In two days, if anyone remains in the city, they will wait to face the murderous mercenaries independently. ”

Two days, in the hands of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Northern Ming or the Southern Ming, the time is definitely not enough. Over the years, they have bought too many things, and naturally there are many things to deal with. But Cochin is just a small country, neither the economy nor agriculture is very developed, and even if the officials here want to fish, they will get limited. If you hurry up a little in two days, you can also pack up a rough idea.

King Le Le gave the royal order to evacuate. The battalion commander Kong Quanxin at the east gate was completely unaware of this. He's organizing men to guard the tower.

Before the battle, Kong Quanxin had discussed with his officers that it was not a big problem to capture the eastern gate of Hanoi by surprise, and the most important thing was that he might not be able to hold this place. After all, there are tens of thousands of Jiaozhi troops in the city. And as long as it is properly organized, the people of Jiaozhi in the city can also be quickly organized and planned into an army.

If it really attacked like a wave, one day later, the bullets in their hands would run out, and it was hard to say whether the mercenaries, who numbered less than 3,000 people, would be able to hold the east gate.
