Chapter 510

Even if someone wants them to die, in order not to die, others can only die.

Although it seems that there is a bit of silence in saying these words, the fact is that the Jiaozhi soldiers who want to live and surrender surrounded Huang Hua and several of his close soldiers. Then I don't know who stabbed the first knife. After a bang of weapons, Huang Hua died. His body was thrown to the city ladder, and then a high white flag was hung.

The rapid fall of Jiaozhi east city building completely surprised Prince Li Yuanlong. When he heard the news in the palace, the whole person was like being struck by thunder and stood there for a long time.

"Prince, Prince, are you all right, your highness?" several young civil and military ministers came to Li Yuanlong with an eager and concerned expression. There were also some old ministers who quickly ran to the depths of the palace after shaking their heads.

After a few breaths, Prince Li Yuanlong finally calmed down. The first sentence he said was, "fight, fight back, we must recapture the East Tower and drive those mercenaries out of Hanoi."

"Don't worry, Prince. Someone has already done it. Not only that, but the ten iron carts we have just built are ready to be sent together." the General Li Shaozhong comforted. He is also preparing to go to the front to supervise the war and see if he can get the east gate back.

"Good, good." listening to Li Shaozhong's arrangement, Li Yuanlong's face looked much better, and his nervous mood seemed to be relieved. Just as he was thinking about what measures to take next, behind him, in the depths of the palace, suddenly came the sound of footsteps, and then a male duck's voice said, "the king is coming."

"See your majesty." all the officials, including Prince Li Yuanlong, knelt to the ground for the first time.

"Hum!" a cold and unhappy voice answered them, and then king Riley was supported on the gold chair in the main hall of the palace.

Riley is really very old. He should have been dead at this time in history. But because of Yang Chendong's arrival, he is still alive, and in addition to looking older, his spirit is still good. At least his face is red, which is much better than those ministers who are affected by the chaos and turn white.

Sitting on the golden chair, Li Li's eyes were like a tiger king patrolling his territory. First, he looked around. Many ministers and generals he stared at couldn't help lowering their heads.

It seemed that Li Li was very satisfied with this effect. When Li Li looked at Li Yuanlong again, he shook his head. "Prince, why do you just want to fight with them? Do you think the other party even killed the city gate and will quit? You really disappoint your father."

"This... Boy is stupid. Please give me your father's advice." Li Yuanlong really doesn't know what to say. The situation is so chaotic and unbearable by him. He really has an unshirkable responsibility, which is also a heavy blow to the prestige of his crown prince.

Before, because Li Yuanlong was calm and generous, he really United many important ministers and generals, so that sometimes King Li was worried about his feelings when he gave orders. Some people even said privately that the king should consider abdication when he is older. Jiaozhi is more likely to be brilliant only if it is led by a young king.

Among such voices, especially in Jiuzhen county where the prince is located, the voice is the highest. After all, the crown prince stayed in power there. Some local officials relied on the height of the sky and the distance of the king. Few people would take Riley, the old king, in their eyes.

If this continues in the long run, it is obviously very bad for the situation of the whole Jiaozhi country. It is not impossible that there will even be a whole line of martial arts. King Riley had his own intelligence system, and naturally he knew very well about these news. He didn't want to give way when he was alive, nor did he want to see his father and son turn against each other. In order to divert everyone's attention, when the envoy sent by King min arrived, he agreed to send troops to Nanming.

It never occurred to me that King min was so snobbish that he abandoned them as soon as he gained power. In Nanming, he just wanted a princess and a relative to express goodwill. At the same time, he also increased his authority in Jiaozhi country. Unexpectedly, he provoked mercenaries to come from afar, and now there is such a chaotic situation.

If the prince is able to hand over troops, he will naturally be a king's insight and know people. If not, it will be regarded as suppressing the prince's arrogance. So all along, Li Li looked on coldly and didn't mean to do anything. Until now, the capital of the country has been opened, and it is time for him to stand up and preside over the overall situation and turn the tide.

As soon as he appeared, he reprimanded Li Yuanlong, which strongly suppressed the arrogance of the prince. This hand came out. Some people who originally wanted to hold the prince's smelly feet had to think deeply. The old king is still there. Should they restrain themselves from what they do?

When some ministers were considering their own position, the voice of King Riley came out again, but there was a sense of bleakness and dusk in the voice. "Even though they have entered the city, let's leave and pass the order. The East Gate continues to resist, but it doesn't need to be too fierce. Just delay their progress. As for others, withdraw from Hanoi and go to Xiyu city. There, general fan Yuhai has been waiting for us with a large number of warriors."

"What?" the voice fell, and everyone didn't look puzzled. Although it is true that mercenaries captured the east gate, they still have the power of resistance to Hanoi, the capital of Jiaozhi. Even in the view of many people, if they are willing to pay a high price, they will attack back and recapture the gate again. But why quit? To their surprise, it seemed that the king had long known that things would develop like this. He even arranged heavy troops in Xiyu city. They also said that they couldn't see fan Yuhai just now. It turned out that there was another heavy task.

Many people couldn't figure it out, so they set their eyes on Prince Li Yuanlong, who was also kneeling on the ground. Obviously, he wants the crown prince to stand up and question the king.

Being noticed by so many expectant eyes, Li Yuanlong really wanted to stand up and say something. When he was still brewing how to speak, King Li Li on the golden chair said first: "by the way, the news just received, most of Jiuzhen county has been captured by mercenaries. Now rinan county is afraid to be dangerous."

"Plop", this is the sound of the prince falling to the ground before he stood up.

Jiuzhen county is the base of the prince and the foundation. Over the past few years, he has properly placed all the officials there. It can be said that his orders there are far more useful and effective than his father. This is also the place that Li Yuanlong relies on. He just wanted to say that he would arrange Jiuzhen county to send troops to solve the siege of Hanoi city.

But now, it has been captured. This was like a bolt from the blue. The result instantly put him on the ground, and the only spirit in his body seemed to be drained at this moment.

The prince's performance fell into the eyes of some people. They soon made a choice, that is, to continue to support King Riley. Look, Jiang is still old and spicy. With just a few words, the crown prince's reputation has fallen to the lowest point. I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in a few years.

Even the crown prince has no objection. Other ministers dare not be questioned. Besides, Jiuzhen county has been attacked. That's mercenaries playing really. It seems that Hanoi city is not guaranteed. It's better to step back and retreat to Xiyu city. Some people even think that even retreating to Xiyu city may not be the end.

Fortunately, the king also said just now that general fan Yuhai, who had originally dispatched troops according to the prince's order, had gone to Xiyu City, where many troops had been summoned according to the king's order. This reassured some people.

With the appearance of the king, the ministers who didn't know what to do soon arranged. After all, my family is in Hanoi. Now I suddenly say I want to leave here. I'm afraid it's troublesome to clean up. I can't do it in three or five days.

It seems that King Riley also saw this problem. He waved his hand and said, "remember, there are only two days, and from now on, some things will be transported to the west of the city. After two days, if anyone still stays in the city, wait to face the ferocious mercenaries independently."

Two days, in the hands of officials of both northern and Southern Ming Dynasties, time is certainly not enough. Over the years, they have bought too many things to deal with. But Jiaozhi is just a small country. Both economy and agriculture are not very developed. Even if officials here want to make a profit, they get limited. If you hurry up in two days, you can probably clean up one.

King Riley ordered the evacuation. Battalion commander Kong Quanxin at the East Gate doesn't know it at all. He is organizing people to guard the city building.

Before the battle, Kong Quanxin had discussed with a group of his officers. It was not a big problem to attack the east gate of Hanoi unexpectedly. It may not be able to hold here. After all, there are tens of thousands of Jiaozhi troops in the city. And as long as it is properly organized, the Jiaozhi people in the city can also quickly form and plan to become an army.

If the attack is really like a wave, at one moment, the bullets in their hands will be finished, and it's hard to say whether the mercenaries with less than 3000 people can guard the east gate.
