In front of Kong Quanxin, Tiance is not so restrained, after all, when he first entered Leng Feng, Kong Quanxin was his squad leader. Waiting for himself to be a squad leader, he is his own platoon commander, so along the way, there is a fact of a battalion commander and a company commander.

"Battalion commander, I mean that we will wait for them to be almost consumed for a while, and when they are tired, we will blast open the east city gate, and then take the opportunity to kill them." Tiance said this, which was originally part of the previous battle plan. At the meeting yesterday, Kong Quanxin said that if it is possible, he will attack Hanoi City today, and if the conditions are not suitable, then he is looking for a suitable opportunity.

The words were said like that, but the people who participated in the meeting, who did not know, this was the battalion commander who had to make up his mind to make a great contribution. Unless the conditions are really unsuitable, it will be a sure fact to attack Hanoi City today.

"Isn't it a little too anxious?" Listening to Tiance's answer, Kong Quanxin asked with a hint of concern, "The intelligence said that there are 80,000 Jiaozhi troops in the city, and in addition to the concentration of high-ranking officials and magnates in the city, I am afraid that the number of their families together is more than 10,000, and if you count the military service of the government in the city, it is 100,000 troops, although it can consume 20,000 opponents now, but there are still a lot left." ”

Less than 3,000 people went to attack the capital of a country, and they already had a certain amount of defensive preparations. It's like a joke to say something like that. But the same thing happens to mercenaries and it's completely different. With their excellent military qualities, excellent personal physical fitness, and most importantly, their sophisticated weapons and equipment, it is really normal for them to win more battles with less.

Therefore, Kong Quanxin's worry is not about whether he can capture the city, but whether he can stand on his feet after entering the city. If they go in first and are bombarded out by others, it will be really embarrassing, waiting for the sixth young master to rush over with the main force of the army, then wouldn't they have no face to see each other?

Tiance naturally understands this truth, so he nodded in agreement at first, but then said: "Battalion commander, seek wealth and danger." This time, you finally have the opportunity to lead the team alone, and it would be a pity if you didn't fight for a good performance. And once they suddenly enter the city, they must be defenseless, and the good things will not be transferred too much, but it is a large amount of trophies, how much credit is that? Presumably, the sixth young master will be very satisfied when he sees it. As for what will happen after entering the city, the big deal is that we will fight steadily, if we can't do it, we will burn down the house, burn all the dangerous buildings in front of us, as long as the Jiaozhi soldiers can't get close to us, they can't help us, and then it's time for us to roll out the names one by one with muskets. ”

"Burn the house? Do you want to burn down even the houses? Hearing this idea, Kong Quanxin felt his eyes light up, but considering what the Sixth Young Master often said, to have a good relationship with the people and deal with them well, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing Kong Quanxin's worries, Tiance smiled and said, "Battalion commander, the sixth young master is a great good man, and it makes sense for him to advocate unity and befriending the people. But we are not facing the Han people, but the people of Jiaozhi. There may be good people among them, but most of them are hostile to us. Besides, once it will be successful, there is no good thought at this time, otherwise it will harm your own brother. ”

What Tiance said is also very reasonable. On the battlefield, only look at victory.

Only by winning can we gain more initiative. Even if you want to work for the welfare of the people, then you must first be able to have the final say, otherwise, your own life will not be guaranteed, how can you protect the interests of others?

After these words, Kong Quanxin finally made a decision. He wasn't an indecisive person in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have become Leng Feng's battalion commander. "Okay, that's the case, then take a break and wait for them to fight almost when we're done. By the way, get ready to break the gates, and you'll see how well you behave in a moment. ”

Kong Quanxin had an order, so Tiance changed from seat to station, saluted a standard military salute and said: "Please rest assured that the battalion commander will complete the task of protecting the company." ”

As for what the mercenaries were going to do next, Prince Li Yuanlong didn't know, he had already withdrawn from the Dongcheng Tower at the moment. After all, catapults don't have long eyes, who knows which one will fall on their heads, and if they are really hit, won't there be no place to find reason when they die?

In addition to the crown prince Li Yuanlong, who was removed from the city tower, there was also Fan Yuhai, who was known as a famous general, and another general surnamed Li, Li Shaozhong, and others. After they followed the prince back to the palace, they discussed what to do next.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and rest assured, the fault of today's battle is all on Ruan Gengwang alone, and it was he who took the enemy lightly, which led to the defeat. As long as we defend the city gates next, with the advantage of numbers, the mercenaries will definitely not be able to take advantage of it. Li Shaozhong stood up one step ahead, not only comforting the prince, but also expressing his views on this battle.

"Not bad, not bad." Several other generals also nodded in agreement, as if they agreed with Li Shaozhong's words.

What is the Prince? That's the prince of a country. If nothing else, it will be the king of the future. Then he must not have any problems, even if there is a problem, it is because the executors below did not understand the prince's intentions and did not do things well.

If you lose the battle, someone will have to bear the black pot, and Ruan Gengwang, who has died on the battlefield, has become the one who bears the blame. Although the crown prince Li Yuanlong couldn't bear it, he had to make such a decision for the sake of the overall situation.

"Well, that's what everybody meant, and that's how it was settled. It's just that in order to prevent accidents in the future, it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses. General Fan, you will have to worry about this matter. After Li Yuanlong nodded helplessly, he handed over the next battle to the famous general Fan Yuhai.

"The last will be ordered." Hugging his fists, after Fan Yuhai agreed, he withdrew from the hall first, without further ado, for the sake of Hanoi's safety, some things cannot be delayed, and they must be done immediately.

After Fan Yuhai left, Li Yuanlong discussed with the generals what to do next, and then waited for the news of the end of the war at the East City Gate.

In front of the East City Gate, after the prince left, all the battles here were handed over to the general Huang Hua to preside. When faced with the huge stones being entered into the city, General Huang was not in a hurry, first sent people to evacuate some of the people near the east city gate, and constantly ordered the archers to drop arrows from the top of the city tower.

Compared to the bulkiness of catapults, the archers were much more agile. In addition, it was condescending, and it was really overwhelming, and in just half an hour, thousands of Jiaozhi counter-soldiers were shot. He threw down a lot of stones and sleepers from under the tower, and destroyed all the ten catapults below.

Without the catapults, the attack power of the Cochin rebels has completely weakened. They didn't even have a bow and arrow in their hands, and one by one they became live targets, and there was no way to hide, and there was nothing to hide.

Seeing that more and more brothers were dead, some of the Jiaozhi rebels turned around and ran towards the mercenaries. At a distance of three hundred meters, they threw down their weapons one by one and surrendered on their knees.

It is that everyone has a desire to live. Seeing that there was no way to live, they could only turn around and beg for mercy. Although I was also nervous in my heart, I didn't know how the mercenaries would deal with them, but there was some hope for them to try, and it was much better than waiting to be a target under the city.

Temporary auxiliaries who went to a battalion, confiscated their weapons, tied them one by one with ropes. With a wave of his hand, the battalion commander Kong Quanxin waved his hand, and 400 temporary auxiliaries rushed forward and surrounded the Jiaozhi rebels who had surrendered and had been beaten and had no will to fight.

Speaking of which, there are at least 7,000 Jiaozhi rebels alive now. Four hundred people surround more than seven thousand people, and this ratio is not harmonious. But on the battlefield, such things do happen from time to time.

Faced with a group of defeated soldiers, especially those who have lost the will to fight, they often only need to pay a small price to be put into custody. Just like when the Japanese army invaded China, two Japanese soldiers could escort 2,000 Chinese people and walk as far as ten or even dozens of miles.

Thinking about it now, it seems unlikely. But it is true. I have to say how sad it is for a nation to lose its will to fight.

After dealing with more than 7,000 prisoners, the commander of the first company, Tiance, also began to get busy. First the whole team, and then the ten fighters in a platoon and squad were called out individually.

Different from other cold fronts, these ten soldiers went up to the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and down to ordinary soldiers, each of them carried a huge wooden box behind them, and they all changed their backs along the way, and their speed was not much slower than that of other comrades.

When they were called out of the queue individually, they skillfully opened the wooden box by themselves, and then the five individual bazookas were assembled and placed in the hands of the five people.

After his gaze swept over the group of soldiers, when he saw that they were all full of fighting spirit, Tiance nodded with satisfaction. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the east gate of Hanoi a few hundred meters away, and said loudly: "Blasting open that city gate for me, and then the second row of the second row of cover, the third row and the auxiliary battalion rushed in when the city gate was wide open." Whoever resists, there will be no forgiveness! ”

The order to siege the city was finally issued from the mouth of Tiance. The five hundred mercenary soldiers puffed up their chests one by one, shouted yes in unison, turned around and began to move in platoons towards the eastern gate of Hanoi.

On the east city gate, General Huang Hua was directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
