Chapter 765: Breaking the City

The Vietnamese army first resisted, but more and more Song troops rushed ashore. The short Vietnamese army finally lost its last courage and began to collapse.

From contact to collapse, it was actually just a momentary incident. The Vietnamese army showed off their power in the South China Sea and was arrogant. However, when they really encountered professional military horses, their simple courage and fierce fighting became a burden.

The war between Nanyang sailors is a group, fighting with one person in a group, and the result is obvious at a glance. Each sailor is tightly surrounded by the lieutenant. When the lieutenant advances, they are moving forward and encountering the enemy. Who will cover them, who will attack and kill, who will protect them, and who will protect them, and the division of labor is detailed, each performs its duties, making each team like one person.

What's more, among the navy, a large number of lieutenants appeared at the grassroots level, and these professions, with a bit of fanatical military officers, became the bones of the entire navy. Based on the lieutenant, the navy was extremely tenacious in fighting.

The Nanyang Navy was reborn, at least in terms of organizational capabilities, which was comparable to the modern army of later generations. Compared with the backward Yue-Ning team, it was completely ruinous.

Organizational strength is the key to combat, especially in this era of close combat, an army with strong willpower and always maintaining formation is absolutely undefeated in this era. Just as modern armies in later generations can line up and shoot each other, soldiers need courage, good discipline, and team spirit.

The Vietnamese army was more backward than those who were in a state of ups and downs, and could be affected by accidental factors at any time. The general's method of controlling soldiers was nothing more than to win over a group of servants, give them good treatment, and then ask them to restrain other strong men. The training was even more messy. It would be fine if they won, but if they were to cover up the past in a mess, they would be full of morale. However, once they encountered a difficult bone and encountered a strong enemy, they would be defeated sooner or later.

Li Richao had already fled to the city with some defeated troops and closed the city gates tightly. The remaining Vietnamese troops had nowhere to go and surrendered one after another. The port was full of holes and wailing. The sailors were not in a hurry to pursue them. In fact, they themselves did not expect that the Vietnamese troops would be so unbearable and would collapse at a touch.

The sand ship began to clear the wreckage of the wreck in the bay, and giant ships were docked into the port. The entire navy began to get busy, transporting supplies, unloading artillery and crossbows, and teams of Song troops began to land. Shen Ao came down from the flagship. He was not much surprised by this victory. Instead, he felt that it was natural. The navy recruitment, training, and then the lieutenant were all handled by Shen Ao. These people should be invincible.

After making a simple meal, Shen Ao rode a horse and took the generals to patrol the city near Chameng, and then issued an order to attack the city.

Then, hundreds of artillery loaded and unloaded from the ships roared together. For a moment, like thunder, the cannons that spit out flames shot out iron bullets and bombarded the city walls of Chameng.

"Don't be stingy with gunpowder, iron bullets, just blast for an hour or two." This was Shen Ao's order, and there was no room for negotiation.

Hundreds of cannons stopped every second, while someone watered the red cannon barrels and let out muffled roars. This formation was definitely a magic weapon for this era. The morale of the Vietnamese army in the city had fallen to the bottom. Li Richao was stunned, and the personal soldiers next to him called him, and he seemed to have not realized it. Li Richao's father was once a veteran of the Battle of Xining and was vulnerable to the Song army. Li Richao had already heard it and his ears were calloused. But now, he realized that the Song army at this time was no longer the Song army at that time. At least this navy had no artillery and giant crossbows, and its combat power was definitely not comparable to the Yue army.

Now that the city of Champa has been encircled, artillery bombarded everywhere, several city passes have been opened, breaking the city is only a matter of time. I am afraid that only God knows what will happen after the Song army enters the city. In the evening, Li Richao even hopes that the Song army may rest for a night and continue to attack the city tomorrow. In this way, he can breathe a sigh of relief and make a decision to break through or stick to it.

However, the Song army outside the city obviously had no interest in delaying the time. Although the sky was already dim, waves of trumpet sounds were whimpering from all sides. The sluggish trumpet pierced the eardrums, and prepared infantry formed a team. Chen Ao rode the horse back and forth in the dense team of more than 300 feet. Wherever the horse was released, the lieutenant in front of the team stood still. The sailors held their weapons tightly and their eyes were staring at the flag of the King of Pingxi.

Chen Ao raised his whip and headed towards Chameng, saying in a contemptuous tone: "The Yue thief plotted against China and used a pebble army to resist the Heavenly Soldiers and Kings!" Chen Ao raised his chin slightly, and the captain couldn't help but raise his head, his chest straightened, showing his arrogance.

Chen Ao sneered: "How dare you thief? Come and flatten Champa!"

As soon as Chen Ao finished his voice, the drums sounded like thunder, boom... boom... boom... boom... boom...

The captain's blood was already boiling, and he pulled out the Confucian sword from his waist.

As the drums became more and more rapid, the frequency began to change. Countless teams gathered into a torrent and launched a fierce attack on the gap in the city gate of Chameng.

Under the dim sky, there were shouting and killing on all sides. The broken Song army fought all the way, and along the streets in all directions, clearing up any Vietnamese army that dared to resist. The blood gathered into a stream, the bodies were piled up like mountains, and a large number of Vietnamese troops were dispersed. The entire siege battle lasted only half an hour.

The drums are annihilated, and the shouts are weak.

When the sailors of the back team entered the city, the battle had completely stopped.

Under the moonlight, Chen Ao rushed into the city and was in a mess wherever he passed. Several oil lamps were lit in the general's mansion, and the results of the battle were reported immediately. Many military officers of the navy were excited on their faces. The Vietnamese army was really vulnerable. With no effort, more than ten thousand Vietnamese troops were wiped out. This result really made them not expect.

Chen Ao sat behind the desk and pursed his lips. He seemed very calm under the oil lamp. After a moment, a lieutenant rushed Li Richa up and ordered Li Richa to kneel down. Li Richa was no longer possessed at this time, and looked at Chen Ao in fear, begging for mercy with all his heart and courage, saying, "Young general deserves to die, hit the king's army, please spare your life!"

Yue Kingdom has always regarded himself as a Chinese country. His writing was also Chinese in this era. The gentry and nobles were popular in Chinese. Although Li Richao had a very strong accent and had a strong big Yue flavor, Chen Ao finally understood his words.

Chen Ao looked at Li Richao coldly without saying a word.

Li Richao knew at this time that in the face of such an enemy, there was only a matter of time left to fall. If he didn't know the truth at this time, he would be buried with Da Yue. He was convinced and continued: "The lower-ranking country will be his highness's front pawn, gather the surrendered army, and be driven by His Highness."

Chen Ao said indifferently: "You are worthy of being my king's pawn?"

Li Richao was stunned for a moment. When he heard the disdain in Chen Ao's words, he couldn't help but feel all his thoughts were burning. Qiqi said ai: "I... Your Highness..."

Chen Ao interrupted him and said sternly: "Come here, take the thief down and behead the generals, and the military officers from all over the Vietnamese army also selected the king and beheaded them all. Their families must also be identified and killed.

"What is said in the proclamation for the anti-Yue? If the wind is in favor, the plants and trees will not be damaged, and the chickens and dogs will not be alarmed; if you dare to betray the conscience and rebellion, you will be in love with the current private grace, forget the former master of the Central Plains, and resist our kingly army, and then supervise the navy, personally fight the nest and cover the cave. If the old man and the child are not left, both men and women will be killed;"

When Li Richao heard this, he was so scared that he was paralyzed. The lieutenants took him down. After a while, Li Richao's head came up. Chen Ao pinched his nose and refused to look. He waved his hand and said, "I don't need to check it at the city gate."

Yang Guo, who was sitting in the lower head, didn't say anything at this moment, and said, "Your Highness, since you are willing to surrender, why should you kill him? I am humble and think that this thief should surrender with sincerity, but it is better to leave his life for us to drive it."

Chen Ao took a sip of tea and said, "I want the Yue people to know that those who dare to resist stubbornly will be killed together. There is no luck. Otherwise, once this example is opened, those Yue people will resist first and will submit to the end of their journey. There has never been a good thing in the world. Since they dare to resist, I will want their whole family to be full of heads."

After hearing Chen Ao's words, Yang Guo felt something was right and stopped persuading him. Chen Ao continued: "Immediately post the list and order the army and horses to camp, so that they should not disturb the people. Then send people from the Military and Justice Department to inspect the streets. Anyone who loots at will will be taken down immediately. Since it is a king's army, it is impossible to burn, kill, looting."

Yang Guo went there. That night, the Song army entering the city was not guilty. Instead, a group of lieutenants came out and took the relatives of the Yue army military officers. There were inevitably bursts of whine from the entrance of the street, and the military officers and relatives of the Cham City were beheaded and displayed. By the time the dawn of the next day, some bold Yue people discovered that the entire Cham City had changed. There were teams of Song army patrols everywhere on the street, but the entrance of the street was full of heads, with as many as thousands. It made people feel relieved and became frightened.

Fifty thousand Song troops had entered the city, and the rest were still resting at the port. The entire city of Chameng instantly became quiet. However, in the general's mansion, military officers and lieutenants entered and exited frequently, and they were traveling in a hurry.

Chen Ao slept for a few hours. When he got up, he cheered up and wrote a memorial and asked someone to bring his pen and ink. After thousands of words were written, he drank the ink traces and immediately asked someone to send them to Quanzhou.
