Ming Zuo

Zheng Bing thought that the arrangement was fine, but Li Zhenyue, the prefect of Shenglong, felt that a catastrophe was imminent.

When the First Marine Division landed, he got the news.

Originally, he thought it was a pirate attack, so he planned to gather troops to go for reinforcements.

As a result, in the afternoon of that day, countless people were seen rushing straight to Shenglong Mansion, surrounded by rebellious soldiers.

Li Zhenyue realized that the problem was serious.

There is absolutely no way pirates could have caused so much damage.

Only the army can come.

But he didn't expect the Chinese army to come.

The Central Plains dynasty next to it only used force against Annan more than 200 years ago, and it has been peaceful all the time since then.

Moreover, I heard that the Central Plains was in chaos, heroes from all walks of life were fighting together, and they were deciding on the ownership of Guozuo, so it was definitely impossible to invade Annan.

What he thought was that the Portuguese came to support Ruan.

Trinh and Nguyen chose to form alliances with the Netherlands and Portugal, respectively, in order to defeat each other.

With the help of the Dutch, Zheng actively trained the army and forged firearms, and his strength grew rapidly.

Zheng Bing felt that the time was ripe, and he was constantly dispatching troops to the south.He intends to fight across Hengshan, solve the Ruan family in one fell swoop, and complete the unification of Annan.

It is impossible for Ruan to be ignorant of this. In addition to preparing the army for war, it is only natural to ask for help from Portugal, an ally.

But the defeated soldiers who fled back told the fact that the National Defense Forces had called.

Only then did Li Zhenyue understand the situation.

He feels fear for two reasons:
One is that China once again used force against Annan.

Although the war more than 200 years ago ended with the retreat of the Ming army.However, the war that lasted for more than 20 years also cast a huge shadow on the Annan people.

In the minds of Annan people, China's strength is deeply rooted.

Is that nightmare coming again?

Second, the direction of China's offensive is quite surprising.

Not from land, but from sea.

Annan's terrain determines that in the face of China's land attack, it is completely possible to resist steadily and consume China's strength bit by bit.

After all, Annan's terrain is narrow and the mountain roads are rugged. The Chinese army came on an expedition, and the consumption of food and grass alone is astronomical.

As long as Annan does a good job of fortifying the walls and clearing the country, the Chinese army will be able to retreat in spite of difficulties.

But this time the Chinese army came from the sea.

And Annan's entire flank is exposed to the sea, which means that the Chinese army can land on Annan's mainland anytime and anywhere.

It was difficult for Annan to make an effective defense.

Especially Shenglong Mansion, although it seems to be in the interior, far away from the sea.But all the way here is plain, and there is no danger at all.

Sure enough, the National Defense Army followed the defeated soldiers and rioters to the city of Thang Long Mansion.

Lying cautiously on the top of the city, looking at the National Defense Army, which is completely different from the army of the Central Plains Dynasty, the only thing Li Zhenyue can do is to strengthen the defense.

He arranged all the troops that could be gathered in the city to the top of the city, and organized a large number of young men to replenish them at any time.

What gave him a little confidence was that Shenglong Mansion, as an important town in the north, had always invested heavily in military affairs.

There are twelve cannons built with the help of the Dutch in the city.

With these twelve artillery pieces, he believed that he would be able to cause trouble for the Wehrmacht.

At the very least, there should be no problem in keeping the Thang Long Mansion.

It's a pity that he didn't know Tang Wenhuan's thoughts at all.

Looking at Shenglong Mansion with a telescope, Tang Wenhuan quickly made up his mind.

"Concentrate all the rocket launchers, replace them with incendiary bombs, and cover the city."

They raided Shenglong Mansion this time, in name only to punish the invasion of the Annan people, and never thought of staying here for too long.

That being the case, the most important thing is to create the greatest damage at the fastest speed and leave a shadow on the Annan people.

More than 50 rocket launchers of the First Marine Division were lined up one by one, all aimed at Thang Long Mansion in the distance.

Because of the replacement of the new propellant, the range of the rocket has increased by almost one-third.

In this way, even if the rocket launcher is confronted with traditional artillery, it will no longer suffer from range.

These rocket launchers were placed 2000 meters away from Thang Long Mansion, which puzzled the Annan people in the city at first.

They don't know what the racks are for?
Is it the climbing ladder?

However, there are cannons in the city. If such a heavy ladder dares to be pushed up, it will definitely be shot by the cannons one by one, and all of them will be destroyed.

Just as the Annan people were pointing, the rocket launcher started to show off.

Orange-red flames rushed high into the sky, with a palpitating howl, as if the air was being torn apart.

The Annan people stared dumbfounded at the gorgeous flames like fireworks in the sky, and they were a little fascinated for a while.

The rocket rose to the highest point, then began to fall rapidly, and plunged into the city.

Soon the shock wave of the explosion swept across the city, and the whole city began to shake.

Only then did Li Zhenyue realize that this was a new type of firearm of the National Defense Forces.

"Fire! Fire back immediately!"

"Report to my lord, our artillery can't hit it!"

Li Zhenyue was a civil servant, he only knew that once a cannon was fired, it would be ruined for ten miles, but he had no understanding of the performance of the weapon at all.But the officers below knew it clearly, and could only answer without tears.

Hearing that the artillery in his hand was placed on the city wall, but it couldn't hit the enemy, Li Zhenyue couldn't help but feel cold all over.

"My lord, look at the city!"

The subordinate's shout brought him back to his senses, but just after he took a look into the city, he almost fainted again.

I saw that all the places in the city that had been bombed by rockets were actually on fire, and the flames became more and more intense, gradually becoming a sweeping trend.

Southeast Asia has abundant rainfall and lush natural plants. People here build houses with wood.

When this kind of building encounters an incendiary bomb, the result can be imagined.

Seeing the fiery dragon scorching the sky and countless people running howling, Li Zhenyue hastily ordered.

"Quickly kill the water dragon team and organize the common people."

Before the words fell, a rocket hit the city wall straight.

There were no people in this area. Although the explosion was violent, Li Zhenyue felt a little relieved.

But when he looked at that section of the city wall, he couldn't help but tremble.

Obviously the city wall was built with bluestone and yellow mud, but at this moment it was full of raging flames.

Can stone and dirt also burn?

Faced with this phenomenon beyond cognition, Li Zhenyue began to have no hope of being able to hold the Shenglong Mansion.

The First Marine Division was not in a hurry to dispatch soldiers, and let the rocket launcher fire three rounds, completely engulfing the entire city in flames.

Watching the people in the city open the west gate and flee frantically, the National Defense Forces did not pursue them.

After Shenglong Mansion was reduced to ashes, he returned to the seaside and successfully completed the task.

Next, wait for Zheng to send someone over to negotiate and push forward the next plan.
