Chapter 809 Rising Dragon City

Hanoi, the capital of the late Le Dynasty, had many names. It was successively called Longyuan, Longbian, Zhongjing, Kyoto, Tokyo, Thanglong, etc. Each name revealed ambition and a self-centered thought.

Judging from these names, we can see the ambitions of the Annan regime in the past dynasties. They were really deeply influenced by Chinese culture and regarded themselves as China.

In fact, from the perspective of the cultural circle, Annan, North Korea, and even Japan can be regarded as princes in the Chinese civilization circle, and they all inherited some elements of Chinese culture.

If these countries can unite, they can be said to be an invincible existence, and they can completely walk sideways in the world without being afraid or afraid of anyone.

It is a pity that since the decline of China, among the princes in the East Asian cultural circle, there is no boss, or they do not recognize the original boss and want to be the boss themselves. The princes look down on each other and even make big moves, forming various hatreds. Unable to form a joint force, Xiyi took advantage.

At this time, Annan was not the third in the world, but his strength was in the Indochina Peninsula, but he was the top one.

The entire Annan area, including the Champa area in the south, has a population of more than three million people, among which the Zheng Lord controls a population of about two million, the Ruan Lord controls a population of about 90, and the Gaoping Mo family controls a population of about [-].

Sun Kewang led an army of [-]. After the Gaoping Mo family was destroyed, he did not pay attention to Lord Zheng of the Houli Dynasty. Shi.

The Western Army fought in the Central Plains for more than ten years. For a while, it ran across the northern states and counties of the Houli Dynasty, so that Sun Kewang could directly connect with the base camp of Yunnan.

After successively seizing the states and counties in the northern part of the Houli Dynasty, Lord Zheng, who was in charge of the Houli regime, finally realized that a small Annan Kingdom actually mobilized [-] troops, [-] war elephants, and [-] warships. Come on.

The Wu family that Sun Kewang incorporated, and the Mo family that was destroyed by him, are politically allied, and their positions are anti-Li.

If the Western Army wants to control the Annan area, it must need the cooperation of local forces. Sun Kewang can choose the partner of cooperation. Naturally, it cannot be Lord Zheng who controls the Houli Dynasty, because he himself will replace Lord Zheng and become the controller of Annan, so the two There is definitely no need to talk between the two.

At the suggestion of Xu Yixian, Prime Minister of Daxi Kingdom, Mo Zhu, who was about to be beheaded, was rescued and returned, and was treated kindly by Sun Kewang, and the Wu family became his vanguard.

Just when Lord Zheng sent his troops to the north, the ambitious Sun Kewang also led his [-] troops to the south, intending to take down Hanoi directly.

In Sun Kewang's view, the difficulty of conquering a small country in the southeast of the Western Army, which has been in the world for many years, is nothing more than conquering a capital city in the Central Plains.

Two armies, one going down the Red River and the other coming upstream, met eighty miles north of Hanoi.

What Sun Kewang didn't expect was that this battle was not easy. Sun Kewang defeated Lord Zheng's infantry, but the main formation was disrupted by Lord Zheng's war elephants, forcing Sun Kewang's army to retreat more than [-] miles.

When the Ming Dynasty fell into chaos, the Annan area was actually in chaos for more than ten years, and wars were also very frequent. Annan's army was not completely ignorant of military affairs, they also experienced the tempering of the battlefield.

Zheng Zhu's army is somewhat different from the Western Army, but it is not as vulnerable as Gaoping's Mo's.

Afterwards, the two armies each had victories and defeats. With Liu Zongmin's bravery, the western army defeated Lord Zheng several times, but was repelled by war elephants several times.

In this way, the two armies confronted each other for half a month. Sun Kewang was short of food, and the army retreated to Xuanguang. However, Lord Zheng was afraid of Sun Kewang's strength and did not dare to pursue him. He led his troops back to Hanoi.

What Lord Zheng didn't expect was that his retreat made him lose the chance to defeat Sun Kewang.

After Sun Kewang returned to Xuanguang, he was worried about food and grass. He heard Wu mentioned that there was a country in the west of Annan, called Nanzhang, which might have food, so he sent someone to borrow food, but Nanzhang replied, to the effect: " Who are you!"

Nanzhang really didn't know who Sun Kewang was, so Sun Kewang directly led his army westward, bypassing the spreading mountains, breaking through the capital of Nanzhang, and capturing the king of Nanzhang.

Compared with Houli's army, Nanzhang's army was much inferior, and the number was not large, only more than 1, which was easily defeated by Sun Kewang.

In this battle, Sun Kewang obtained a large amount of supplies and fifty elephants at the same time, so Sun Kewang forced King Nanzhang to surrender, leaving General Feng Shuangli to supervise the country, and took away King Nanzhang's son and most of the army. Back to Vietnam.

Although the peasant army of the Western Army is not as good as the Wei Army in terms of equipment and quality, they also have their strengths, that is, they can endure hardships and stand hard work, and fight wherever they go.

Not long after Lord Zheng returned to Hanoi, Sun Kewang led his troops to attack again, and this time, the Western Army's strength was stronger than last time. There were not only the recruited Southern Palm Elephant Soldiers, but also the Artillery Team and Fire Gun Battalion from Yunnan. .

Lord Zheng led an army of [-]. When he met the Western Army, he saw Sun Kewang's army lined up with spears, banners like clouds, and there were war elephants and cannons in the team. He was shocked immediately.

The fight between the two sides, this time Sun Kewang was well prepared. When Master Zheng's war elephants attacked Sun Kewang's Chinese army, they were hit head-on by the Firearms Battalion.

At this time, Liu Zongmin led the cavalry, went around to the flank of Lord Zheng's army, launched an attack, defeated Zheng's army at once, and Lord Zheng fled back to Hanoi in a hurry.

December 25th, approaching the new year, was originally full of joy, but the capital of the Hou Li Dynasty was gloomy and gloomy.

At this time, in the wilderness north of Hanoi City, a large crowd of people appeared, and countless soldiers of the Western Army, armed with weapons, pushed through the weeds and came from the wild.

Huge war elephants and cannons dragged by war horses were sandwiched among the crowd, creating a spectacular scene.

Sun Kewang was riding on a healthy horse, with big banners flying behind him, guarded by forest-like spears.

At this time, he looked up and saw the shadow of a city wall appearing on the plain in the distance, which surprised him a bit, because this city was much bigger than he expected, even bigger than a mansion city in the Ming Dynasty. Above fifteen miles and under twenty miles, it is considered a big city.

Hanoi is located on the Red River Plain. On the endless plain, a big city appears, like a giant beast lying across, it is really shocking.

It is located on a fertile plain, built close to the Red River, with convenient water and land transportation, and there are neighborhoods, markets, and residential areas in the city. It can be said to be the essence of Annan.

At this time, Sun Kewang reined in his horse, raised his whip and pointed at the city wall in the distance, and asked somewhat complacently, "Is Annan's capital in front?"

Xu Yixian on the side said: "Your Majesty, in front of you is Tokyo, the capital of Annan Kingdom, and he also has a name called Shenglong City!"

"Rising Dragon City!" Sun Kewang looked at the city in the distance with his deep eyes, and exclaimed, "What a good name! A real dragon rising!"

Xu Yixian said with a smile, "To the northeast of this city are the [-] mountains of Guangdong and Guangxi, and to the west is also a mountain range. The city controls a plain with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is indeed a royal air!"

Sun Kewang swung his whip with great arrogance, "This king will definitely win this city and establish a hegemony!"

After finishing speaking, he clamped the horse's belly, shouted loudly, and faced the rising sun, he urged the horse to run towards Shenglong City.

Behind him, all the generals of the Western Army glanced at each other, and they also urged their horses to follow closely behind him, rushing after him.
