After Ma Liuliang broke through the three dangerous passes of Langshan and defeated Zheng Kaiping's 20,000 defenders, he quickly killed Thang Long Mansion;

After passing Lang Mountain, it is the alluvial plain of the Red River of Pingchuan, and there is nothing to stop his army of more than 10,000 people, but it is more than 200 miles away from the ghost pass to Thang Long Fu (Hanoi), the capital of Cochin, and Ma Liuliang are all infantry, even if there is no obstacle, it will take three days to kill Thang Long Fu at the earliest.

Three days, is it still too late?

"Hurry up! Fuck me and run faster! The anxious Ma Liuliang kept yelling. More than 10,000 troops were running on the plain, and the scene was very spectacular.

This season, Cochin is the time when the farming is busy, the early rice has just been harvested, the second season has not been planted, the farmers are plowing the fields in the field, suddenly see tens of thousands of troops rolling in, one by one frightened to throw down the plow and rake and run, even the cattle are gone.

Those Guangxi wolf soldiers don't care so much about you, everywhere they pass, buffaloes are slaughtered and eaten, and the freshly harvested rice is robbed and used as military rations.

Ma Liuliang used his strength to eat, and he wanted to take down the Shenglong Mansion in front of the navy, but I was afraid it would be too late.

Ha Long Bay, located at the mouth of the Red River, is lined with mountains and islands on the sea, dotted with thousands of postures;

When you get here, no one can not be surprised by the magic of nature, which carves different shapes of mountains and rocks and small islands, some like chopsticks stuck in the water, some like a big tripod floating on the water, some like a galloping horse, and some like a fighting rooster;

The most famous is Toad Island, which is shaped like a toad, sitting on the surface of the sea with grass in its mouth.

No one knows how many islands and peaks float on the blue sea, but the picturesque scenery is like a fairyland on earth.

Gu Rong, who led the East China Sea Fleet here, easily sank more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships of the Zheng family. Under the rain-down shells of the Qin army, the remaining dozens of enemy ships did not dare to fight again, and used the mountain islands to escape.

Gu Rong was too lazy to pursue these small fish and shrimps, and after ordering five gunboats, ten eagle boats, and bluffing boats to control the sea area at the mouth of the Red River, he immediately took most of the warships of the East China Sea Fleet into the Red River.

The Red River originates in Yunnan, China, and is called the Yuanjiang River in the section of the river in Yunnan, called the Heishui River after entering Jiaozhi, and called the Red River when it reaches the lower reaches.

The abundant water volume makes it the largest river in the northern part of Cochin, in the area of Longsheng Province. Forming a vast alluvial plain of the Red River, it is the largest granary and the richest area in Cochin.

The downstream river can pass large ships, and Gu Rong's warships can directly go up the river and drive to the bottom of Thang Long City.

Thang Long City just two days ago, it was still singing and dancing, with the cooperation of Dong Wu Kingdom. The Zheng clan not only destroyed the Mo clan in the north, but also defeated the Ruan clan in the south, seizing several cities of the Ruan clan.

It's just that Zheng Jie knows it very well. The ambitious Emperor of Great Qin would definitely not let the Zheng family go lightly.

As Sulu, Boni and other countries were wiped out by Great Qin one by one, Zheng Jie's worries became stronger and stronger. He ordered the construction of three forts at Lang Son and sent heavy troops to defend them.

Just at sea? The death of Sulu and Bo Ni. All died in the Great Qin Navy. Not to mention that the Zheng family's naval division has lost most of it outside Quanzhou Bay, even if the original naval division is still there, how can it be the opponent of the Great Qin Navy.

I'm really afraid of something. Suddenly, when the news of the Great Qin Navy entering the Red River, Zheng Jie couldn't help but stand up in shock, but God didn't seem to think that such a blow was enough, and then there was news from the north that Zheng Kaiping was defeated and the three dangerous passes were breached.

The news of Daqin's all-out attack on Jiaozhi spread quickly in Shenglong Mansion like a plague, and there was a lot of discussion in the market, and some wealthy families were already packing up and preparing to escape from the city.

Zheng Jie urgently summoned two henchmen Li Ming and Cai Xu, as well as several of his sons, the second son Zheng Zheng of the West Wang, the third son of Fujun Gong Zheng Li, the fourth son Qiongyan Gong Zheng Di, and the fifth son of Huajun Gong Zheng Jie.

"Gu Rong with twenty gunboats, hundreds of small and medium-sized warships of all kinds, has entered the Red River, Langshan in the north has been defeated, and more than 10,000 Qin troops are heading to Shenglong Mansion. What do you say? ”

Over seventy years old, the gray-haired Zheng Jie tried his best to maintain a sense of composure, but the long beard under his palate couldn't help but tremble slightly when he spoke.

Cai Xu and the others turned pale one by one, the matter came too suddenly, the Qin army attacked by sea and land, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and even the Xiongguan Pass of Langshan was useless, in the face of this absolute strength, what can everyone do?

Under Zheng Jie's forced gaze, Cai Xu could only say with difficulty: "Lord, Langshan has three dangerous passes, and the 20,000 army has not been able to hold it for a day, which shows that the interests of the Qin army's artillery, my lord, Thang Long Mansion is located on the plains, there is no danger on all sides, and the gunboats of the Qin Navy can sail directly to the city, and Thang Long City is afraid."

"Do you mean to give up Thang Long City?"

Zheng Xu lowered his head in panic and stopped talking, but the meaning could not have been more clear. Zheng Jie then asked Liming, "What does Mr. Li mean?" ”

Dawn, who has always been eloquent, stammered at this time: "Lord this"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Jie suddenly turned to his sons and asked sternly in a stern voice.

A few sons, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the fifth son Zheng Ji secretly gritted his teeth and decided to swear to the death, he saluted and said: "Father, tens of thousands of troops of the Qin State, the sea and land are coming, my sailors are unable to resist the enemy outside the country, Langshan has a new defeat, the army is panicked, once the Qin army besieges the city, Thang Long Mansion will be in danger.

Father, the child built yì, the father first withdrew from the Thang Long Mansion, and then recruited soldiers and horses from all over the country, and slowly fought with the Qin army, Thang Long City was handed over to the child to garrison, and the child assured that the people were in the city, and the city was broken and the people died. ”

Although Zheng Jie's health is not bad, but after all, he is in his seventies, and his life is rare for seventy years, in this case, he has no heir, Zheng Jie, as the youngest of the brothers, according to normal circumstances, it will not be his turn to inherit the position of the head of the family.

But now the Zheng family is tired, if he stays and guards Thang Long City, if he does, this great achievement is not trivial, and it is very likely that he will seize the position of the head of the family.

As the saying goes, you can't give up a child and can't trap a wolf, Zheng Ji is out of the way this time.

Zheng Jie listened, and sure enough, he gave his youngest son an appreciative look. Others are old and refined, and seeing that the general trend has changed abruptly, it is difficult to recover for a while, so they naturally know that they can't make a desperate bet and stick to Shenglong Mansion.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has attacked Jiaozhi many times, and with its strength to confront it head-on, Jiaozhi is definitely not the opponent of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Only by taking advantage of the complex terrain of mountains and rivers and slowly depleting the Central Plains Dynasty can Jiaozhi win the final victory.

Now the situation is even worse, the benefits and disadvantages of Great Qin's firearms are difficult to compare with even the red-haired ghosts of the West, if you compete with the Qin army for the gains and losses of a city and a pool, it is tantamount to looking for death.

"Jie'er, your courage is commendable, and your father is very pleased, then Thang Long City will be handed over to you, and your father will leave you 20,000 troops, if you can hold Thang Long City, your father will be rewarded for his merits in the future, and he will not be disadvantaged to you."

"Thank you, Father." Zheng Ji hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Father, rest assured, the child will definitely live up to his father's trust and defend Shenglong City until his father brings the army back and defeats the Qin army." ”

"Alright, alright, I'll go and get ready to take over the army."

Zheng Jie was very straightforward and immediately decided to withdraw from Thang Long City, the Qin army, both by sea and land, could be killed under Thang Long City at any time, leaving him with little time to retreat.

Zheng Jie took Lord Li with him in the afternoon of the same day and evacuated in a hurry, and in a hurry, the things that could be taken away were extremely limited.

As soon as he withdrew, the officials and people of Thang Long City were suddenly in a panic, and the Shishu families also took Xiao Soft with them one after another, wanting to flee Thang Long City, and the city was in chaos.

The people bring their families and mouths, you fight for me, and the streets are congested. There were shouts, insults, and cries everywhere, and Zheng Ji, who was in charge of the defense of Thang Long City, was very unhappy when he saw this situation, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed and the people were forbidden to enter and exit.

The people who were locked up in the city knelt down in batches and cried, hoping that Zheng Ji would do well and let everyone run out of the city to escape for their lives.

Zheng Ji had to send troops to drive away the people under the city, but when he was angry, many of the soldiers sent down to drive the people away actually blended into the people and became deserters.
