Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Annan, Thang Long Province.

The king of the country, Li Xuanheng, looked at Ruan Tanwei, who was sitting calmly and calmly in the hall, and the fear in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

"Sir Ruan, according to the latest report, Lu Yu and Xiong Tingbi have led you across Qiongzhou to explore Shenglong Mansion."

Ruan Tanwei had been prepared for Li Xuanheng's fearful reaction. Not to mention the king, the entire Li Dynasty and the entire Annan Kingdom had been in an atmosphere of fear and panic all day long.

but,

For Ruan Tanwei, this matter is not unsolvable!
Moreover, he wants to use this action to fight against China to completely establish his position in Annan. Maybe he can use this opportunity to become the de facto ruler of the entire Annan in one fell swoop. As for the current Li family?

Hey,
Perhaps, historically, Mo’s original work was too inadequate!

"Your Majesty, there is an old saying in China, which is to put yourself to death before rebirth," Ruan Tanwei said with a smile: "We are at this moment now. If we survive, then in the next few decades or even a hundred years, we can be equal to China. Dialogue, their porcelain, population, silks, and factory technologies that have emerged in recent years can all be used by us! Annan Kingdom may be able to leap out of this barren land in one fell swoop and stand higher than China. Open up more land, plunder more people, and shine the great light on the world!"

"But," although Li Xuanheng dreamed of developing Annan into a country like China, he could still distinguish between reality and dreams: "You can't just talk about putting yourself to death and survive! How can we resist the Chinese soldiers? What? Our army only has more than 50,000 people, and most of our weapons are arrow clusters. I heard that China has now equipped with muskets, which is not something we can resist! "

"Your Majesty, it's raining continuously, no matter what kind of gun, it's useless!" Ruan Tanwei was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have stationed a large number of elephants and archers in Bac Giang and Bac Ninh. As long as the Chinese army is dragged behind There, within a month, in such a humid and miasmatic place, they will be tortured to death without our help! "

Seeing Ruan Tanwei's confident look, Li Xuanheng didn't speak for a while, but just lowered his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Your Majesty, the military affairs are complicated, so I will take my leave first!" Ruan Tanwei stood up, bowed slightly and turned to leave without waiting for the emperor's reply.

Looking at Ruan Tanwei's disappearing back, Li Xuanheng slowly lowered the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows began to move. Finally, in a very low voice, as if he could only hear it, he uttered two words: Should be killed!

Beining Pass.

Lu Yu looked at the city wall built in the distance by a mixture of low rammed earth, vegetation and mud, and felt dumbfounded for a moment.

"Except for the moat, which can slightly resist our army's offensive, I think this city wall is of no use!" Lu Yu pointed at the city in the distance with the riding whip in his hand and said: "Capture this city in one day, and I will take it in three days." See the walls of Thang Long Palace! Use the blood of Li and Ruan to honor my dead Chinese people!”

"As ordered!"

Before sending troops to Annan, the Parliament and the Academy of Sciences had studied that the city of Annan was low, steep, and had lush virgin forests. Local materials could be used to build siege trees and ladders to seize the high ground and capture the town.

So after Lu Yu gave the order, the defenders of Beining City saw a scene that frightened them.

Large tracts of virgin forest were cut down, a large number of siege ladders were erected, and the moat was filled with stones and branches. Within three days, Beining City was frightened by this scene.

The document asking for help flew towards Shenglong Mansion like snowflakes.

Ask the court to send reinforcements.

However, Beining City did not wait for reinforcements. What was waiting was a large number of armed bow clusters and elite artillery, which bombarded and fired volleys at Beining City continuously.

In just one day, the entire Beining City was crumbling. Annan's war elephants and cavalry, under the muzzle of Chinese artillery, other than running away with their heads in their hands, how could they dare to turn around and attack?
Arrow clusters all over the sky directly covered the sky.
The continuous bombardment of artillery fire left the entire Beining Village defenders with almost no room to fight back.

Except for three to four hundred suicide squads who attacked the Huaxia camp at night, Lu Yu did not encounter any effective resistance during the entire battle.

Of course - the three to four hundred commandos also had their heads cut off, and all were hung on the flagpole to frighten the enemy.

boom! ! !
In less than a day, as the low rammed earth city wall collapsed, Lu Yu led the infantry to enter Beining City.

"Gather all the 16-year-old adult males in Beining City, cut off the thumbs of their hands and feet, and then release them." After Lu Yu entered Beining City, he issued his first order!
"Sir, it's better to kill them directly, otherwise these people who have their toes cut off will go to other places, which will strengthen the determination of other places to resist us. It will be counterproductive," said Deng Hu, who served as the chief military officer of Annan's left camp. He said with some hesitation.

"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! The rest will be left as dogs!" Lu Yucai is not afraid that these Annanzi have any thoughts of resistance. As long as Huaxia is strong enough, in their eyes, they can only kneel down and call their master!

"I will obey your orders!"

Entering Annan territory, Lu Yu remembered Wang Qi's instructions - destroy his ancestral temple and destroy his country. In Jiaozhi, from now on, I can live as a dog in China with peace of mind.

Otherwise, the tribe will become a barbarian.

The news that Beining City had been breached quickly reached Shenglong Mansion hundreds of miles away. People who were already uneasy about Shenglong Mansion were even more panic-stricken at this time.

As some officials began to escape secretly, large numbers of people also began to flee.

When Ruan Tanwei saw this situation, he immediately issued a martial law order. At the same time, he pulled out and chopped off the heads of several patriarchs of aristocratic families who had taken the lead in escaping. Only then was he able to suppress the uneasy people.

But Ruan Tanwei knew that if he didn't win a big victory as soon as possible, it would be a matter of doubt whether he could save his head or not, let alone his position!

After all, different voices have appeared in the court.

For Ruan Tanwei, this is a great threat and a bad sign.

"Beining City didn't even resist for a day before it was breached!"

"What about Shenglong Mansion? Can it resist for three days?"

"We might as well just surrender and still survive!"

Looking coldly at the officials who were talking nonsense in the court, Ruan Tanwei just sat there and ignored them.

"My dear friends, don't panic. The general is actively planning. He must have a perfect plan. When the Chinese army arrives, we will see the outcome!"

As the emperor, Li Xuanheng rejected all the suggestions of these ministers, and instead expressed his 100% support for the Ruan family.

"Your Majesty," Ruan Tanwei looked at the emperor deeply: "Please rest assured. Ruan will give an explanation to Your Majesty when the time comes!" (End of Chapter)
