Qiming 1158

Chapter 1374 He has missed the best time to escape
The Lord and Pie view is simple.

Hurry up and run to a safer place to the south.

Now there are still some troops in the south that are fighting against the Champaign. The big deal is to bring the army here to the south and win the Champaign in one go, then it will be safe.

As for the north side, let the Ming Kingdom do it and see what they can come up with. If it doesn't work, they will be trapped in the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves. If it takes a longer time, they will be dragged down by logistics themselves.

With one move, space is exchanged for time, and it does not need to consume any troops to drive out the Ming Kingdom. Isn't it beautiful?

Not to mention whether this method is useful or not, the risks are too great, and the officials of the main war faction firmly disagreed, and then proposed their own trump card.

[The Ming Kingdom wants to liquidate us. If we run away without resisting, and give up the long-run state capital and run to the southern border, wouldn’t this be the same as directly tying ourselves up to the Ming Kingdom, and I respectfully invite the Ming Kingdom to come and liquidate us? 】

This statement is very fresh and very convincing. Li Tianzuo thought about it, and felt that he did not have much assurance that he would be able to come back after escaping from Thanglong City.

Even if the Ming army retreats later, it is difficult to say whether he will call the shots on the land of South Vietnam in the future.

Outsiders can see South Vietnam as a unified center, but as an emperor, he can see large and small powerful landlords, scholars and officials.

One or two of those local tyrants are very strong, and they are quite divided in the local state, and their forces are very strong.

Since the establishment of the Li Dynasty, it has also put a lot of effort into winning over them. They used official positions to win over them, and finally did not cause a large-scale chaos, but that's it, they can't really change the situation.

Now the central Li family occupies the Shenglong City, controls the sacred land, is the most powerful, and becomes the co-lord, but once they leave the Shenglong City and give up the sacred land, and the Ming army retreats, will they be able to come back smoothly and continue to be their own closed emperors? ?
not necessarily.

After thinking about it, Li Tianzuo felt that what the main war faction said was reasonable, and thought that their words were not meaningless, so he finally made a decision to stick to Shenglong City and call on the army of the world to be diligent in order to repel the invading Ming Dynasty. National Army.

Of course, at this moment he didn't know the news that Su Xiancheng was finished.

When he suddenly learned the news that Su Xiancheng was finished, the news that the Ming army had arrived one after another was also sent to Thanglong City.

Then they were all Spartan.

Good guy, Dinghaishenzhen, the most capable of both civil and military skills in the country, was killed by the Ming people, and only a few thousand of the [-] elites were killed. How is this different from the defeat and retreat they expected?

Li Tianzuo still had certain expectations for Su Xiancheng. He felt that even if he was defeated, he could bring his main force back to Shenglong City to participate in the defense battle. Regarding Su Xiancheng's direct death in battle, neither Li Tianzuo nor officials from the DPRK and China had any. Mental preparation.

Not to mention the fact that the army's main force was chasing the routed soldiers all the way and was about to arrive at Thanglong City.

Ah this...

Li Tianzuo swore that he really wanted to run away, but the truth ruthlessly warned him not to run. Running away at this time would only make the situation worse, and maybe he would be caught up by Ming cavalry in the wild and become a shameful prisoner.

There is no doubt that he has missed the best time to escape.

After the pupil earthquake, Li Tianzuo began to perform incompetent and furious.

He called the officials of the main war faction, and scolded them furiously, angrily scolding them one or two for being blinded by lard, and delusionally thinking of resisting the Ming army, now it is good, everyone is going to die here!
Then they ordered them to go up to the tower to resist the Ming army. No one was allowed not to go, so let me go!

Few of the officials of the main war faction really had the courage to fight face to face with the Ming army. Most of them only had the courage to watch others fight to the death, but did not have the courage to fight to the death themselves.

A few of them turned around and left, armed with knives and going up to the city wall to fight, unwilling to be humiliated.

With his knees bent, he knelt down and sang conquest, crying with tears and snot, crying that he had no old parents, a beautiful wife, a concubine, and a wealth of wealth. The good days are not enough, and I really don't want to die.

Li Tianzuo almost came out and killed himself.

He continued to force this group of officials from the main battle faction to go out and put on armor and go to the tower to prepare for battle.

After the officials of the main battle faction were collectively rushed to the front line of the city to work hard, Li Tianzuo sat on his chair with his head in his hands, emo.

Huang Yixian and Li Gongxin, two important officials, were not the main war faction, but the main peace faction who advocated retreat, so Li Tianzuo's incompetence and rage did not implicate the two.

After Li Tianzuo fell into the emo state, it was the two of them who worked hard to talk, make suggestions for Li Tianzuo, and find ways to protect themselves for him.

But in the face of the Ming army's all-out attack, their plans did not seem to be as useful as they sounded.

In the face of absolute strength, any plan is powerless.

On March [-], the ninth year of Hongwu, the Ming army reached the city of Shenglong, and then destroyed all the military facilities outside the city with the force of destruction.

The Qin Wangling has already been released, but it is unknown how many people will come, and whether there will be any.

After the Ming army surrounded Shenglong City, they launched a wave of attacks on Shenglong City.

Zhao Yucheng directed the Ming army to bombard the city wall with artillery, and then the infantry pushed forward and began to fill the moat, creating an opportunity for the infantry to fully press the ants and climb the city. At the same time, this was also an important demonstration.

Zhao Yucheng received an urgent summons from Su Yonglin, telling him not to take the capture of Shenglong City as his main goal, but to surround and coerce them to agree to the conditions of Daming as his main goal, and then he can withdraw his troops, there is no need to capture Shenglong City.

Daming also needs the Li Dynasty to maintain the stability of the land of South Vietnam, even if it is stable on the surface, it must be maintained until Daming comes to recover this territory.

Until Daming officially reclaimed this territory to establish its rule, the Li Dynasty had a nominal necessity and must not let this place fall into war.

Zhao Yucheng understood what Su Yonglin meant, and Su Yonglin always paid attention to people's livelihood and paid attention to peace.

But he felt that for these arrogant people, he must teach them a lesson and give them a sense of oppression, and let them know that the Ming army can break through Thanglong City at any time, so that they can best coerce them to agree to the conditions.

Before the negotiator sent by Su Yonglin arrived, Zhao Yucheng decided to play a military advantage.

So he set up artillery to bombard Shenglong City to cover the army filling the moat, and without much effort, filled three passages in the moat of Shenglong City.

Speaking of which, although Shenglong City is a big city in this area, in Zhao Yucheng's view, it is a city in the same rank as Guangzhou, and even some places are not as good as Guangzhou, not to mention Hangzhou, Zhongdu, and Chang'an. A first-class super city.

Therefore, the rank of the chariot general cannon is enough to cope with Thang Long City, and the South Vietnamese defenders on Thang Long City are indeed at a loss because of the fierce firepower of the chariot general cannon.

Even quite a few soldiers refused to go to the city to defend, feeling that defending the city was killing them, and no one was willing to go to the city to defend unless they were rewarded.

But then again, their long-range strike weapons couldn't reach the Ming army's positions, and they barely fired, it was just to show their unyielding attitude, and it didn't have much practical effect.
