Chapter 125: Cambodia in crisis, fires at the capital of Dai Viet
"Your Majesty, our army has surrounded the capital of Gao Cambodia!"
"It only takes one month to capture the capital of Cambodia!"
Hu Shengchen immediately said: "Okay!"
"Let the soldiers on the front line work harder!"
"As long as they capture the capital of Cambodia, they will be allowed to burn, kill and loot in the city for three days!"
General Dai Viet immediately said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The King of Great Yue continued to ask: "What about the Great Zhou?"
"There was no movement at Prince Xiao's Mansion, and no troops were seen gathering."
Hu Shengchen said proudly: "I knew that the Great Zhou didn't have the courage to start a war between the two sides!"
"This king has already sent out an envoy, as long as Nan'an is unified."
"From now on, we can attack Da Zhou together with Bei Mang, one in front and one behind!"
"I have already made an agreement with the Khan of Northern Mang to divide the Great Zhou with the Great River as the boundary!"
At this time, all the ministers knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Hu Shengchen nodded with satisfaction.
After the efforts of the successive Dai Viet kings of the Ho Dynasty, I can finally annex the ancient kingdom of Cao Cambodia!
Queen Mother Zheng of Gao Cambodia is my queen!
When Hu Shengchen thought of the graceful Queen Mother of Cambodia, he became angry again.
Annex Cambodia!
This has always been Dayue’s dream!
It’s finally come true!
In front of the capital of the ancient kingdom of Cao Cambodia, brutal Dai Viet soldiers were driving out ordinary people from Cao Cambodia and attacking the city.
They naturally knew that these people could not capture the city at all.
But it is worth it to use these civilians to waste the reserves of the Cambodian defenders and make the defenders feel more anxious!
The Dai Viet people, who grew up in the jungle, were inherently very brutal.
Near the capital of Cambodia, corpses were piled up like small hills.
These were all Cao Cambodians who were brutally killed by the Dai Viet people.
Queen Mother Zheng of Gao Cambodia walked up to the city wall and looked at the pile of corpses below the city.
She covered her face with her hands and cried silently.
"Is there any news from the envoy sent to Da Zhou?" Queen Mother Zheng asked, wiping away her tears.
"Queen, the messenger still hasn't replied."
despair.
Cao Cambodia was originally inferior to Dai Viet.
The King of Cao Cambodia had just died and a civil war had just broken out. Queen Dowager Zheng had finally managed to control the situation, but Dai Viet invaded again.
Dai Viet has evil ambitions and has already annexed many territories of Cao Cambodia.
This time, Dai Viet directly attacked the capital.
They just wanted to annex the ancient kingdom of Cambodia.
Queen Dowager Zheng felt sick whenever she thought of the lecherous look of Hu Shengchen, the King of Dai Yue.
Dai Viet proposed to marry Queen Mother Zheng, and Dai Viet merged with Cao Cambodia.
Looking at the piles of corpses outside the city, Queen Dowager Zheng bit her lip.
If the Great Zhou really does not send troops, then Gao and Cambodia will have no choice but to surrender!
This Queen Mother had no choice but to sacrifice herself to feed the tiger in order to protect the people of Cao Cambodia.
Just then, Rand's troops saw the city of Dai Viet.
Rand's scouts saw the city of Dai Viet.
Rand did not urge the soldiers forward, as they carried a lot of supplies this time.
From artillery to food, Rand divided the 11,000 men into two teams.
The infantry consisted of 8,000 men, equipped with muskets.
The artillery consisted of 3,000 men, pulling the artillery with horses.
The artillery's ten cannons were all removed from ships by Tang Yan.
These cannons are the source of Rand’s confidence that he can quickly capture the capital of Dai Viet!
The horse pulled the cannon and was already within the cannon's range.
Rand stood on the slope and looked at the Great Yue City.
Over the years, Dai Viet has been the overlord of Nan'an.
The ancient kingdom of Cambodia declined, and the former overlord Portugal also declined.
On the Nangan Peninsula, only Dai Viet bullied others, and no one was bullied.
So in Rand's opinion, the defense of this royal city is full of loopholes.
If the army was not on the march to prevent internal rebellion.
It can be said that the Dai Yue Royal City was basically undefended.
However, the King of Great Yue at that time built this capital city quite well in order to maintain his hundred years of hegemony.
At least the towering city walls will not collapse at the first attack.
As long as soldiers can be mobilized from the royal city, the capital will be safe.
But the King of Dai Yue never expected that he would encounter such an unexpected enemy as Rand.
Once the city wall was within the range of the artillery, Rand immediately ordered the infantry to stop and rest.
The next step is to check the weapons and refill the ammunition.
All soldiers were equipped with muskets, and Rand immediately ordered the artillery to fire!
Rumble!
Groups of artillery fire fell densely on the city walls.
After Lu Weibin's training, these literate artillerymen mastered some arithmetic methods of artillery parameters.
However, some people still fail to make the calculations.
So Lu Weibin simply made up a set of formulas and asked them to memorize them and apply them.
This technique was very effective, and soon the artillerymen were able to quickly calculate where the shells would land.
Qin Asi is just a small soldier in the royal city.
He was very distressed because he was too small to join his father and brother in the expedition against Cambodia.
He could only stay in the royal city of the capital with the elderly, the weak and the sick, to guard against attacks that were impossible to happen.
The Dai Viet people were brutal and bloodthirsty, and even a young man like Qin Asi, who had just reached adulthood, wanted to go to the front lines and make contributions.
In the military families of Dai Viet, the most proud trophy is the scalp of the dead.
Dai Viet soldiers had a hobby of collecting the scalps of the dead, which was why Da Zhou hated Dai Viet.
Qin Asi was standing on the city wall when he suddenly saw a dark shadow flying onto the city wall beside him.
what?
Qin Asi was a little confused.
But soon, his doubts were answered.
There was a loud "bang" and a violent explosion directly collapsed a section of the city wall.
Qin Asi, standing on the city wall, felt his head buzzing.
He slumped to the ground and burst into tears.
But compared to others, Qin Asi is already very lucky.
The defenders on the city wall were blown into powder.
There was also a childhood playmate of Qin Asi who was just standing by the city wall and peeing.
The explosion knocked him out and now he is unknown whether he is dead or alive.
terrible!
What is this?
Is it God’s punishment for Dai Viet?
Qin Asi was completely confused.
But soon, he saw a huge army.
Are there enemies?
How is that possible!
Qin Asi's captain immediately sounded the alarm.
But what about the alarm?
The city walls were blown down, and the enemy troops could march into the royal city with impunity.
Can our small number of defenders defeat this army?
Qin Asi soon saw the result.
The Dai Viet soldiers holding broadswords rushed towards the army.
And every soldier in this mysterious army held a black stick.
The stick will make a strange noise, and then a brave Dai Viet soldier will fall to the ground.
Qin Asi didn't even see how they were hit.
At this time, Qin Asi saw another golden flag!
There was a big word "Lan" written on the flag.
This is the text of the Great Zhou!
In the past, Dai Viet also used the characters of Da Zhou.
However, since the Hu Dynasty usurped the throne, it has not been recognized by the Great Zhou.
The king of the Ho Dynasty created the Dai Viet script himself.
