Chapter 1400: Chaos when troops are sent

This is indeed a farce. When Jin Wang Li Zhi heard the news, he was so frightened that he could not speak. He also wanted to go to Vietnam's territory in advance to see it. That would be the first to reach Vietnam's territory. The Royal Family of the Tang Dynasty, this can be regarded as a gimmick. Now after hearing the news, this guy is so scared that he dare not even move. If he really passed by, he can still occupy the first place, that is The first Tang royal family to be captured by foreign troops.

If you can die, you can still thank the country with death, but if you can't die, there will be no good results after being sent back. You must find a remote palace and never come out for the rest of your life. After all, you are the entire Tang Dynasty. A disgrace to the royal family.

"These damn Vietnamese are simply too bold. We should send troops to destroy them immediately..."

His Highness the King of Jin scolded the Vietnamese with the effort of a stick of incense, but no one around him came up to echo him. Including those who followed him, they could all see that this guy didn't have much ability. We have to find a new dock. If we continue to follow his men, I'm afraid there will be no way to survive in the future.

Li Zhi also knew that he was a little out of line this time. He worked hard to find such an opportunity. He wanted to use the surrender of Vietnam to let himself fly higher. Unfortunately, he did not fly. Instead, he He threw himself.

The people who founded Chang'an were furious at such a farce, so an order from General Tiance's office was issued. We may not launch a full-scale attack for the time being, but we must knock down several cities in the border areas and let them Vietnam knows how powerful we are.

The troops of the Annan Protectorate have been prepared for a long time and will go into battle at any time. The scale of the battle is not very big now, so Changsun Ze and Huo Qubing immediately led their troops there.

Jin Wang Li Zhi was still in a daze in his temporary palace. Hearing that the troops from the Annan Protectorate had already set off, this guy quickly asked his men to hitch the carriage. He couldn't just lose such credit, even if he was beside him. When you write the memorial in the future, you must also include his name. This opportunity to gain credit must not be passed up.

After the Tang Dynasty army crossed the border, they headed straight to Luocheng with great momentum.

Luocheng is also Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam in later generations. It is also the largest city in northern Vietnam.

When the Tang army sent troops, the whole city was already in chaos. The soldiers were naturally not allowed to leave their posts without permission, but the people couldn't control that much. Do they have to be slaves to the Tang army if they stay here? So they ran south quickly.

Wu Yuanhao also rushed from Nanshanguan to Luocheng, which is the first pass in the north of Nanshanguan. If it cannot hold here, then the Tang army will go directly to Nanshanguan, which is also in the middle of Vietnam. Once it is If Nanshan Pass is lost, it will basically be equivalent to the defeat of the entire Vietnam.

Now Luocheng is crucial to both sides. If the Tang army can capture Luocheng, then we will use this as a base to wait for the naval warships to arrive in a month. Then from there, we pushed all the way south, and the Vietnam War was finally settled.

For Vietnam, this is also the largest city in the north, and it is considered a place where they strictly defend. If they can resist the attack of the Tang army here, it will be a confidence blessing for the people across the country. If they defend If we don't stop, the resistance gathered by the people across the country will immediately collapse.

The army of the Tang Dynasty has caused one bloody storm after another in the Indochina Peninsula. So many well-known armies in the past have failed in front of the army of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, many people have no idea. If we can't even defend Luo Chengdu, If you can't stop it, let alone these subsequent cities, the Tang army will definitely win them one by one.

Wu Yuanhao has received an imperial edict from the King of Vietnam. He must fight to the death to hold all the 70,000 troops around Luocheng under his command. No matter how many people are lost, he must not take a step back.

The King of Vietnam also understood the importance of Luocheng very well. Once Luocheng was lost, no matter what he said, the powerful landlords from all over the south would definitely not listen to him. The Vietnamese court was actually formed by a coalition of forces from various places, and the King of Vietnam was just one of the larger forces.

When everyone is not defeated, they can still unify their respective calibers, but if Luo Cheng loses, it means that they are unable to confront the Tang army head-on.

For the future, these people under their command will definitely negotiate peace with the Tang army in advance. At that time, they may let go of their defense lines and allow the Tang army to enter the entire Vietnam from here, let alone defense.

Vo Yuan Ho is the best fighter in Vietnam, and his 80,000 troops are also the most elite. Although Vietnam claims to be able to form an army of 100,000, these 80,000 are already their limit, and the rest Those people are half soldiers and half farmers.

They usually farm at home when nothing happens, and go out with the army when something happens, but they only do some chores. If they really go to the battlefield to fight, it is impossible. After all, those people have low combat effectiveness. You If they were pushed onto the battlefield, it would be equivalent to giving military exploits to the enemy.

When Wu Yuanhao rushed to Luocheng, he found that the people in the city were fleeing in droves. He immediately ordered his men to close several city gates. At this time, one more person was left, and that was an effective force to guard the city. If it were to be allowed If all these people ran away, it would not be possible to rely on the army alone. In addition, it also brought a large amount of food. This food was enough for the people and the army in the city. What was missing was manpower.

After the army received the order, they immediately closed the four doors and asked all the young men to report under the city wall. As for the remaining people, they had to return to their homes to obey the order. If someone was wandering around in the street If so, kill them directly after catching them.

Under this cruel policy, Luocheng has restored its original order, but there is no business atmosphere on the streets. Everyone has a look of fear on their faces. They are waiting for the arrival of the Tang Dynasty army from the north. This is also It can be regarded as the first official battle between the armies of Vietnam and Datang.

At this moment, the Tang army has arrived five miles north of Luocheng... (End of this chapter)
