Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 632
Shenglong City, the largest city in An Nanguo, was in panic at this time. Pedestrians on the street were in a hurry. Soldiers went between the barracks and the city wall, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.Everyone knew that the Kyushu Army was going to attack in a few days, but they didn't know what would happen to the entire city and their own fate.

Zheng Zuo, the crown prince of the Zheng family, came to patrol the city wall with his guards, and the letters sent back from the north made him more stressed.Because the Kyushu Army bribed a lot of local people to block the news of the north, the news they received has lagged behind.Lang Son fell, Duobang City on the south bank of the Red River fell, and the two Kyushu armies were likely to join forces to ascend to Longcheng.Now it depends on whether the two armies of the Kyushu Army will arrive first, or the main force of the Zheng family led by Zheng Bing will return to Shenglong City first.

"We have 1 warriors in Shenglong City, and [-] civilians. In addition, Shenglong City has been in operation for a hundred years. It is extremely strong and can withstand the bombardment of artillery. Please rest assured, young master. I assure you that the Kyushu Army will never be able to conquer Shenglong City within three months. We will drag them until they run out of troops and food, and have to withdraw to Zhennan Pass." The commander of the imperial guards said to Zheng Zuo.

"3 soldiers, [-] civilians, plus the [-] army and [-] civilians that my father will join us, we have [-] troops, and we are on the defensive. It seems that the Kyushu Army underestimated us and wanted to Go deep with [-] or [-] troops alone." Although Zheng Zuo urged Zheng Bing to return to the army and recruited civilians to strengthen the defense of Shenglong City, it was just for the sake of caution, not because he thought that the Kyushu Army could easily take Shenglong City, especially The Kyushu Army is fighting away.

"When the Ming army went south 200 years ago, there were at least 3 soldiers and civilians. Now the Kyushu army is even more arrogant than the Ming army at that time. It is undoubtedly a dream to wipe out us with 3 or 300 people." Several generals of the Zheng family present thought that the Kyushu Army would not be able to take down the huge Annan Kingdom with [-] to [-] people, because Annan Kingdom has a population of at least [-] million, which is equivalent to a soldier of the Kyushu Army trying to frighten a hundred Annan people.

"Urgent report!" The sound of hurried footsteps gradually became clear along the stone steps on the city wall.

"Say."

"Our cavalry found that the Kyushu Army fleet was fighting with our navy at the entrance of the sea. News came non-stop, please prepare to defend the pier. The Kyushu Army fleet is likely to cooperate with the Kyushu Army infantry attacking from the north and south. Rising Dragon City!" The messenger was sweating profusely, and the news he brought shocked everyone present.

"Damn it, isn't their fleet at the Ruan's house? Why did they come to our place!" Zheng Zuo was shocked.

Thang Long City is located on the Red River Delta, and developed by relying on the fertile land and criss-crossing river network in the Red River Delta.But it also brought problems. The Armada of the Kyushu Army can use the Red River channel to go deep into the hinterland of the Red River Delta and attack aggressively.

"I heard that the giant ships used by the Kyushu Army are huge and invincible. Our navy and the Dutch were defeated by them. The navy will definitely not be able to guard the entrance to the sea. We must do well. Defense. My young master, I am willing to lead [-] soldiers and [-] people to guard the line along the river and prevent them from landing." A general of the Zheng family volunteered.

"Well, I will send the supervising army to go with you. You must guard the area along the river, or we will be attacked." Zheng Zuo felt unprecedented pressure this time. Perhaps he underestimated the strength of the Kyushu Army.

"Looking at the overall situation, the subordinates feel that the Kyushu Army is taking every step to dismantle our Annan Kingdom's resistance to them. It is really terrible. The Ruan family navy has surrendered. If our Zheng family navy is defeated by them, their ships can be in this sea area. , Traveling unimpeded in the Red River, no matter whether it is supply or combat, it is not a problem." The Zheng family's counselor said to Zheng Zuo.

"That's something that can't be helped. The heavenly kingdom is powerful. Every time they unify, we will fall into a passive position. It would be great if they were always in a state of division and had no time to take care of us." Zheng Zuo sighed.He is familiar with history and found that as long as there is no war in the Central Plains, the emperors in the Central Plains will expand to all directions, and Annan Kingdom will often become a target of bullying.

"Report!" Another messenger rushed up the city wall in a hurry.

"What's the matter again?" Zheng Zuo had a headache.

"The enemy was found 2 miles north of Shenglong City, including about 1 handymen, and the enemy was found [-] miles northwest, with more than [-] people!" The messenger once again brought bad news.

Zheng Zuo's heart tightened all of a sudden, he didn't expect that the Kyushu Army marched faster than Zheng Bing's return to the division.The two Kyushu armies are about to join forces in Shenglong City.

"Report! The lord's army has marched eighty miles to the south, and will arrive at Shenglong City in a few days!" Finally, after two sad news, finally came a piece of good news for the Zheng family.

"Great, the lord is finally back, we can hold on to Shenglong City for at least a year!"

"With an army of [-] in hand and the righteousness of the world, it is estimated that the Kyushu Army will return without success."

The oppressive atmosphere on the walls of Shenglong City was swept away, and everyone couldn't help jumping up for joy, as if watching the moonlight when the clouds opened.

"Your Majesty has other orders. Please His Majesty Li Shenzong issue an edict, calling on the people of the world to rise up and resist the Kyushu Army." The messenger said again.

"Go down and start preparing immediately." Zheng Zuo said to a counselor beside him.

"Yes." The counselor rushed towards the palace with a few soldiers.

At present, the Zheng family and the Ruan family are fighting, and the nominal emperor of Annan Kingdom is still Li Shenzong. Of course, the Zheng family is coercing the emperor to order the princes. Li Shenzong is just a puppet. If you want to issue any edict, you only need to draft it yourself, and then ask Li Shenzong to stamp it. Enough.

After learning the news that the Kyushu Army appeared outside the city, the defenders in Shenglong City were even more panicked and panicked all day long.

The next day, the two armies of the Kyushu Army and the reinforcements of the Zheng family arrived at Shenglong City almost one after another, and the Nanyang Fleet also wiped out the Zheng Family Navy, forming four forces around Shenglong City!
The garrison of Thang Long City, 2 soldiers and [-] people are strong with strong internal and external walls.Outside Shenglong City, there are [-] Zheng family main forces and [-] Minzhuang led by Zheng Bing against the city wall.On the side of the Kyushu Army, the two armies of the Independent Corps were combined into one, with more than [-] soldiers and nearly [-] civilians, including some locals temporarily recruited from Lang Son, Gaoping, and the upper reaches of the Red River.There is also the Nanyang Fleet that has blocked the Red River and can bombard Thang Long City from the Red River at any time.This may be the largest battle that took place in the Red River Delta in a century, and this battle will rewrite the history of Annan Kingdom for hundreds of years.
