When Li Zhe, the king of Qin, opened up his territory in West Asia, Li Hu'er, the king of Chu, and Li Xing, the king of Zhao, had already led a large army from Liangguang Province to enter the Indochina Peninsula, and at this time there were still some elites of the Southern Expedition army of the Great Song Dynasty stationed in the Indochina Peninsula, about 100,000 people, and Li Yue, the king of Yunnan, had also led the army to conquer the central and southern regions of the country, but due to the change of the situation, he only occupied part of the land, and did not cause much loss to the remnants of the Song army of the Southern Expedition.
Qiyuan Prefecture, the camp of the Zhao-Chu coalition army, a total of 200,000 troops are stationed here, these 200,000 troops are mainly foot soldiers, due to the special geographical location of the Indochina Peninsula and the tropical rainforest here is not suitable for cavalry combat, so there are only 30,000 iron cavalry in the Zhao-Chu coalition army, and the rest of the 170,000 troops are foot soldiers, but they also have a large number of firearms troops, mostly firearms, and only 50 heavy artillery; At Li Hu'er's suggestion, the Zhao-Chu coalition army formed a long-range attack force with guns and artillery, supplemented by return artillery and bed crossbows.
In terms of military affairs, Li Xing, the king of Zhao, is too far away from Li Hu'er, the king of Chu, and it is simply one in the sky and one in the ground, so the military strategy of this southern expedition is mostly decided by Li Hu'er, the king of Chu; According to the agreement reached by Li Xing, the king of Zhao, and Li Hu'er, the king of Chu, the new Chu and the new Zhao signed a military treaty of offensive and defensive alliances, which meant that the two countries would jointly send troops to conquer the Indochina Peninsula and the entire ancient Indian region.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Xing, the king of Zhao, asked Li Hu'er, the king of Chu: "Brother Huang, now that we have entered the Vietnam road of the Great Song Dynasty, what should we do next?"
Li Hu'er pointed to the map and said: "Now our location is Qiyuan Prefecture, and the capital of Vietnam Road is in Thang Long Mansion, we want to capture Thang Long Mansion, we must pass through Taiyuan Town, according to the information we have, the Song Army's Southern Expeditionary Army has stationed 50,000 elites in Taiyuan Town, and is equipped with a large number of firearms, if we attack hard, it will cause a lot of losses to our army, and we can't afford any losses now, so we can only outwit and not attack in this battle." ” "Brother Huang, just say it, how to beat me, listen to you."
Li Xing, the king of Zhao, said to Li Hu'er, the king of Chu.
Li Hu'er, the king of Chu, thought for a while and said: "The soldiers are doing strange tricks, let's do this" After Li Xing, the king of Zhao, heard Li Hu'er's plan, he said with some concern: "Brother Huang, this is too risky."
"There is no war that does not take risks."
Li Hu'er smiled; "This is also a workout for you, don't let the imperial brother down, oh, the Emperor Taishang said back then, every man in my Great Xia royal family is a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and is the master of the battlefield."
"Brother Huang, I listen to you."
Li Xing said to Li Hu'er; "Brother Huang, this road is full of dangers, you must pay attention to safety."
Li Xing instructed Li Hu'er.
"Don't worry, it's not a battle like this."
Li Hu'er said with a smile.
In the early morning of the next day, under the personal command of Li Xing, the king of Zhao, the 170,000 army continued to move south, and after arriving at Taiyuan Town, the entire Taiyuan Town was surrounded by a water pavilion.
In fact, Li Huer's strategy is very simple, just four words to lure the snake out of the hole; Use the defenders of Taiyuan Town to ask for help, lure the defenders of Thang Long Mansion out, and then disguise themselves as Song troops to open the city gate of Thang Long Mansion, so as to occupy Thang Long Mansion.
Everything is as expected by Li Hu'er, the king of Chu, after receiving the news of Taiyuan Town's request for help, the defender of Shenglong Mansion immediately sent 30,000 troops to the rescue, Taiyuan Town's terrain is dangerous, easy to attack, after the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song army generals stationed in Shenglong Mansion have long had the heart of self-reliance, in his opinion, as long as they can defeat the attack of the Xia army Zhao Chu coalition army, they will take the initiative to surrender to the Great Xia Empire, and be willing to be their vassals, so that they can divide the land of Vietnam and establish themselves as kings.
But his idea has long become an idea, after the Song army's 30,000 troops went to Taiyuan Town for reinforcements, the king of Chu Li Hu'er took 30,000 iron horsemen to detour to the city of Shenglong Mansion, which was not thought of by the Song army, it turned out that before Li Hu'er attacked Vietnam, he had done enough intelligence work, and sent a large number of spies to investigate the information and terrain of the Song army around here.
This is also the reason why Li Hu'er was able to lead 30,000 iron cavalry to bypass Taiyuan Town.
Under the city of Shenglong Mansion, dozens of embarrassed Song soldiers shouted loudly to the city tower: "Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly." ” "Who's down there," shouted the defenders on the tower.
"We are General Wu's subordinates, we were attacked by the Xia army on the way to reinforce Taiyuan Mansion, hurry up and open the city gate and let us into the city."
A man wearing the armor of a Song military captain said.
The general of the city gate of Thang Long Mansion looked at the captain and said, "You raise your head. ” The captain raised his head, and a cold light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the general of the city gate, and then he took the bow and arrow in the hand of a Song army soldier next to him, and shot the captain with one arrow, and then the general of the city gate ordered: "Let go of the arrows and shoot them all to me." ” "General, but that's our people."
A Song soldier reminded the general of the city gate.
The general of the city gate sneered: "If you look at their size and appearance, they are obviously the characteristics of northerners, they are not our people at all, but spies from the north. ” Hearing the general of the city gate say this, the soldiers defending the city didn't say a word and took out their bows and arrows and shot at the soldiers of the Xia army disguised as the Song army under the city, and those who could disguise themselves as the Song army to carry out a sneak attack were definitely the elite of the Zhao Chu coalition army, after the failure of the deception of the city, these dead soldiers didn't care at all, thinking that they still had a second set of action plans, that was really bombing the city, several coalition soldiers who escaped from the hands of the defenders, transported the explosives bag they carried to the city as quickly as possible, and then ignited the medicine twist, Immediately after that, with a bang, the north gate of the Thang Long Mansion was directly blown up, and the bones of the same coalition soldiers were gone.
At this time, the soldiers who were standing on the tower of the city gate guarded the city, saw the billowing smoke and dust rolled up from afar, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from afar, as if it was a sound from hell, the city gate had been completely blown open, and the soldiers of the Song army guarding the city could not stop the attack of the cavalry of the Zhao Chu coalition army at all, and the Zhao Chu coalition army passed through the city gate and directly entered the city, and the coalition army did not carry out a large-scale massacre of Thang Long Mansion, but only killed all the people who resisted, and most of the soldiers and people were treated well, After all, this will be the territory of the New Chu State in the future, and Li Hu'er doesn't want to get a territory that is not popular.
After the loss of Thang Long Mansion, the Song army in Taiyuan Town lost all the logistical grain and grass supply and retreat road, Zhao King Li Xing wrote a letter of persuasion to the Song army commander in Taiyuan Town, and the 80,000 Song troops in Taiyuan Town surrendered, after all, even the powerful Great Song Dynasty could not stop the iron cavalry of the Xia army, not to mention the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty, after taking the Thang Long Mansion, the Zhao Chu coalition army continued to move south, and in less than a month, it occupied all the territories of the original Great Song Dynasty on the Indochina Peninsula
