Chapter 739(1/2)

A Portuguese gunner held a torch and was about to ignite the lead of the artillery, but a soldier from Ruan rushed over and threw him down and took away his torch.> ≥

The Portuguese fell four feet to the sky, thinking that it was Ruan Jun's rebellion. But when he looked closely, the Ruan Bing was wearing a red robe with the mark of the King of Merits. The King of Merits's red robe was also a supervising team on the battlefield. What were they doing? The Portuguese gunner thought in confusion.

The red-robed guard took off the torch and threw it aside. He pointed his finger outside the city, "You open your dog's eyes and see clearly. That's the Lord!"

Ruan Phu Lan is the second son of the former Lord Ruan Phu Yuan. Ruan Phu Yuan once loved his eldest son very much, but unfortunately he died before Ruan Phu Yuan. In the end, the second son Fulan and the third son Fulan competed for the position of inheritance. In the end, Ruan Phu Yuan chose the second son, thinking that the third son Fulan was too arrogant. Because of this, the third son secretly colluded with Zheng Zhu, preparing to act as an internal support when Zheng Zhu launched a large-scale invasion of the south. However, when Ruan Phu Yuan noticed, he secretly controlled the third son. When the Zheng army advanced along the water route, he waited for more than ten days to stay in the border Rili Haikou, but he had no response and had to retreat in a bad mood.

On the way to retreat, Ruan Jun launched a counterattack, and the two sides broke out in a naval battle. Zheng's army was defeated and returned and was forced to turn to the defensive. Ruan Phuc was sentenced to death after the war.

Two years ago, Nguyen Phoenix Assassinated the throne and claimed to be the King of Merits and the people of Guangnan called the Lord.

Because Ruan Phoenix Nguyen succeeded not long and was not the heir at first, his status in Guangnan was not very stable. Therefore, he personally recruited a personal guard and asked Portuguese mercenaries to train. Because these personal guards were all wearing red robes, they were also called the Red-robed Guards. These Red-robed Guards were very loyal to Nguyen Phulan. Before, Nguyen Phulan went out of the city to pursue the Han army, he left a group of Red-robed Guards to guard the city and supervise the battle.

Ruan Jun on the top of the city of Hue, looking out the city, and hundreds of red-robed guards were protecting the Lord wearing golden armor and fleeing to Hue. Behind them, the Han cavalry chased after him. Ruan Jun's back team had already mingled with the Han army's front team, regardless of each other.

"Open the city gate quickly!" a red robe shouted.

The guard at the city gate trembled his lips and said in a low voice, "Sir, the Han cavalry is behind the Lord. At this time, the city is opened, I am afraid that the Han army will take advantage of the situation and break into the city."

"Keep the city, immediately!"

The red robe didn't care about those, they only saw that the Lord was extremely dangerous at this time. If he did not open the city, he was afraid that the Lord would fall into the Han rider.

"Open the city!" Several red-robed guards drew their swords and approached the city gate guards. Their eyes showed fierce light. As long as the guards dared to say no, they would definitely chop him to the ground without mercy and then open the city gate in person.

The guard gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let the suspension bridge and open the city gate!"

A strange scene appeared under the city of Hue. Ruan army who went out of the city to fight was defeated. The red-robed guards protected Ruan Phoenix to flee to the city of Hue. The Han cavalry chased each other reluctantly. The two sides rushed towards the city gate. Along the way, the fortresses outside the city did not dare to fire a single shot, and the Han army allowed them to bite Ruan Phoenix to get closer and closer to the city gate.

The suspension bridge is lowered and the city gate is opened.

The Red Robe Guard rushed by with Nguyen Phuc Lan.

"Closing the suspension bridge and closing the door!"

When the guard saw that the Lord had entered the city, he hurriedly shouted.

It's just that it's easy to open the door, but it's difficult to close it.

The Ruan army defeated the troops behind, and the Han cavalry pursued the troops had already arrived. The suspension bridge was full of people and horses. The soldiers guarding the gate were desperately pulling the winch, but the iron rope squeaked and couldn't be twisted.

"Close the city gate, close the city gate!"

The guard shouted in despair.

A team of Ruan Bing hurriedly pushed the city gate. The iron-packed city gate moved slowly. After only a little movement, it could no longer be pushed. A large number of defeated pursuers had already crossed the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate.

"Arrowman!"

"Guard the city gate!"

Ruan Phoenix, who had just escaped into the city, was still in shock and turned around to command the soldiers to defend the city gate. If the Han army rushed in, it would be really done.

The suspension bridge and the city gate were crowded with people.

"Take a grenade and grab the city gate!"

The Jurchen cavalry officers also shouted at the top of their lungs, and the outcome was here.

The cavalry rushing in front raised their left wrists and lit the fuse wrapped around their wrists before charging. The fuse end lit up. The cavalry immediately took out the grenade to light the leads, and then threw them hard into the city gate.

For a moment, dozens or hundreds of grenades were thrown into the city gate.

One after another, the crowded guards of the Ruan Army city gate suffered a fatal blow in the narrow gate, and the flesh and blood were blown away and fell.

A passage was exploded in the city gate.

"rush!"

The Jurchens also knew that this was the most critical time to compete. They ignored the arrows and lead bullets, but just kicked the horse's belly desperately and rushed forward with all their might.

The first group of people rushed past and rushed into the city. The people behind were still rushing forward. Some people jumped off their horses and began to kill Ruan Jun who was remaining at the city gate.

Ruan Youjin, the general of the Ruan family, was originally in charge of another city defense. At this time, he hurried over when he heard the news, but saw that the city gate had been lost and countless fierce cavalry were rushing in through the open city gate.

How could this happen? The Hue City Gate was lost?

Ruan Youjin's heart is bleeding.

Ruan Youjin was just an ordinary navy officer at that time. Later, he was attracted by Ruan Youjin's military advisor Tao Weici, and recommended him to Ruan Youjin. He began to be valued, and he was promoted from a young officer to the current general of the Ruan family. This Hue defensive counterattack was planned by Ruan Youjin, especially the fire attack plan.

The fire attack strategy achieved unexpected victory, and Ruan Phoenix wanted to pursue the victory. Ruan Youjin opposed it, thinking that he should stop when he was good and negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty. But Ruan Phoenix couldn't listen at all at that time. He asked Ruan Youjin to go into the city and led more than 30,000 troops to pursue it.

More than 30,000 people were almost all the power in the Ruan Shi Huhua City.

The Ruan family only occupies a corner of Guangnan. Although the Ruan family has been operating for several generations, it is only a population of one million now, and their troops are only 50,000 or 60,000. It was originally stationed in the border city defense fortress with the Zheng family in the north. This time, the Han army invaded, and they transferred a lot of troops to defend Hue, but with the temporary recruitment of Min Zhuang and others in Hue, there were only more than 40,000 people.

Ruan Phoenix was indeed defeated. Even without the support of the Han army, it was not something that Ruan’s army could defeat. It would not be possible to fight with more or less.

Ruan Youjin narrowed his eyes and quickly figured out the current situation through the smoke and fire.

Ruan Phoenix Flying to Hue City, the Han cavalry chased after him because the two armies were entangled, which led to the cannons outside the city being afraid of bombardment and intercepting, for fear of hurting Ruan Phoenix by accident. He did not expect that at the critical moment, the Red-robed Guards would force the defenders to open the city gate, so that the Han army would seize the city gate without any effort.

He wasted all his energy and presided over the city defense, but the red-robed guard opened the city gate.

The huge advantage obtained at the beginning has been shattered, and now even Hue City cannot be defended.

"Sir, no, the Han army is coming!"

A soldier came over panting, with a panic report on his face.

"The defenders at the fortress at the top of the city and outside the city are the best. Can't fire artillery?"

Ruan You was extremely angry, "No matter what, you must take back the city gate, transfer a few cannons, and attack the city gate. Even if the city gate collapses, you must stop the Han army from rushing in!"

The King of Merits ruined their victory, and Ruan Youjin was extremely angry. If the old master was there, he would never have made such a big mistake as the King of Merits.

On the top of the city, the trumpet sounds melodiously, and the flags are waving.

The fortress and turret outside the city finally rang again, but the Han army had already rushed into the city of Hue. Outside the city, there were defeated Ruan family defeated soldiers and the Han army running towards them everywhere.

The cannons roared on the fortress, but the frenzy could no longer be stopped.

The shells kept falling into the Han army, and the killing was great, but the situation could not be changed.

Soon, the Han army's artillery also arrived, and one mountain dunes were pushed under the fortress, and the Han army was fighting back with more fierce artillery fire.

Ruan Youjin no longer has his own magic. Now he is either the enemy dies or I dies.

"Come with me!"

Ruan Youjin led the last complete reserve team in the city. They lined up to face the Han cavalry who were attacking the city.

Ruan Youjin's men followed closely, but these people were just reserve teams. The most elite in the city were the elephant horse army, musket soldiers and European mercenary camps. These troops were previously taken out by Ruan Phoenix, and then all collapsed outside the city. Only Ruan Phoenix, with a very small red-robed guard, fled into the city. The rest of the people are now rushing around like pigs and fleeing from all directions.

His reserve team consisted of old men and children, and many of them were temporarily recruited by the people, composed of farmers, slaves, craftsmen, apprentices and even criminals. The weapons in his hands were mostly spears, swords and swords. There were not many bows and fewer muskets.

The smoke and ashes filled the air, and the enemy was charging fiercely, constantly rushing into the city. The sound of cannons outside became louder and louder, which meant that the Han army's artillery was also firing, which was not good news.

The defenders of Hue continued to disintegrate under the impact of the enemy cavalry. They rushed to turn around and flee, hid in the streets and houses, and even collided with each other and trampled past their comrades.

The Lord has disappeared, and his banner has disappeared.

Ruan Youjin's heart was filled with sorrow. The only thing left was his follow-up mob resistance in Hue City and Guangnan.

He kept shouting, cheering his subordinates.

A defeated soldier rushed towards his team, and Ruan Youjin raised his hand and shot him, killing the man directly to the ground.

"Escaped before the war, I was executed on the spot. Brothers, follow me and drive the Hangou out of the city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a lead bullet shot into his mount and lifted him off the saddle.

Ruan Youjin was caught in an extremely embarrassed manner, and the gunshots were loud. Jurchen cavalry shot straight into a volley of guns on the narrow streets. In an instant, the front row of Ruan Youjin's team fell down.

Ruan Youjin got up from the ground, threw down the pistol that could not be loaded, pulled out his sword, and the enemy cavalry approached a little, and then black shadows fell from the sky, exploded and exploded, and exploded.

A cavalry wearing iron chain armor rushed to approach, and a heavy iron whip hit his back. Ruan Youjin's throat sweetened, and a mouthful of blood had been spit out. He lay on the ground again.

The situation that followed was powerless to make things happen.

The Han cavalry rushed into their ranks like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

The reserve team, which was originally a mob, collapsed instantly. Not long ago, the reserve teams that were farmers, apprentices, craftsmen, vendors and even criminals, abandoned their spears, swords and shields and fled in their hands.

Next was a massacre. The reserve team that had lost their fighting spirit would be chased and killed by the Han cavalry, but they refused to turn around to resist. They just ran and ran until they were chased and chopped down by the Han cavalry, and lay on the ground and remained motionless.

Ruan Youjin struggled, and he cut off a horse's leg. Watching the knight fall from the horse, he pounced on it and stabbed it into the man's throat. The fountain with blood was as red as a scarlet fountain, soaking his arms and half of his chest.

He stood up again, staggering and wondering where to go.

A spear tip came from his chest, and the severe pain came, and Ruan Youjin showed a bitter smile, which ended.

Hue's defense is very strong, with a new and three-dimensional new defense system, which was transformed by the Portuguese. The fortress turrets outside the city and the bastion-style city defense system, plus thousands of large and small artillery pieces, and nearly 40,000 troops gathered in the city. If Nguyen Phoenix could not stand behind after repelling the Han army fleet, it would be difficult for the Han army to attack in a short period of time.

If we take advantage of the opportunity of victory in the water battle and negotiate peace with the Han army, we might be able to preserve it after the Ruan family is willing to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty.

But now, smoke is filled with gunpowder, and cannons are rumbling, and there are constant shouts and killings.

The city gate of Hue was lost and the Han army entered the city. The entire defense system had been broken through, and the Han army directly attacked the central army.

Looking around, Hue has become a battlefield of melee and killing.

The Jianzhou cavalry rode their war horses in and out of the city, defeating the gathering of Ruan Army. Outside the city, the small fortresses were also eliminated by the artillery soldiers of the 6th Team.
