Chapter 137 Occupying Dai Viet Kingdom

Chen Can had planned the war against Dai Viet as early as a year ago.

Since Chen Can occupied the southwestern Yi four years ago, the Dai Viet Kingdom has made several infringements on the border, and there have been several minor frictions between the two sides.

Although Dai Viet basically loses more and wins less, because of Long Guo's tolerance, it allowed the opponent to conduct various tests again and again.

Later, after the Long Kingdom's trade began to develop, the Dai Viet Kingdom began to focus on killing people and robbing goods.

In the past four years, at least most of the murders and looting have been related to the forces of Dai Viet.

In particular, their local border soldiers have now become semi-professional bandits. They not only extort various kinds of money from incoming caravans, but also do business without capital from time to time!

The resources of Dai Viet are actually very rich, but the utilization rate is too low. As for commerce and trade, they are basically in a primitive state.

Although Dai Viet is a small country and its people are poor, in this era, their rulers, the Li family, are quite ambitious.

They even took advantage of the chaos between the Song Dynasty, Xixia, and the Liao Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty several times. They even massacred tens of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty and occupied several cities in the Song Dynasty.

Not only the Song Dynasty, they also took a lot of advantage in the war with the Dali Kingdom. This kind of battle in which the weak defeated the strong was won repeatedly, which only increased their arrogance!

The Song Dynasty in this era was really miserable. It seemed that business and trade were prosperous, but in fact the external environment was full of jackals, tigers and leopards.

The commercial activities of both parties have been completely integrated. Dali provides raw materials and Southwest Yi produces goods. The prices of goods are high quality and low price. The people of both sides have benefited!

The two sides fought a decisive battle, and finally chose a place called Ningnan. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides were separated by a shallow river, in the middle of a plain, facing each other across the river!

As for the Dragon Kingdom army, 10,000 cavalry formed a triangle and were deployed on the plains on both sides of the river, waiting for the final charge.

The destruction of the rebel army further left the Song Dynasty with no time to take care of the border. In the end, it watched Wanyan Aguda establish the Jin Kingdom, and finally pushed all the way, first destroying the Liao Kingdom, and finally completely annexing the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu is indeed the last "hero" of the Song Dynasty, leaving the last afterglow to the Song Dynasty!

Chen Can sighed deeply, it's time for this kind of war to end!

Place the briquette-like objects on the trebuchet one by one, then ignite them and launch them in one go!

The huge fireball drew a parabola and crashed directly into the group of elephant riders!

The frightened elephants no longer listened to the horn sound, and began to scream "moo moo" in fear, then ran around, and many even turned around and ran back!

With the forceful intervention of the Liao army, Xixia was not destroyed in the end, but it could only bow to the Song Dynasty. Not only did it cede land and salt ponds, but it also sent envoys to apologize. In the end, the two sides redrawn their borders last year!

Just the year before last, Zhao Xu launched the second Battle of Pingxia City!

Li Qiande is the longest-reigning emperor in Vietnam in history. He has been the emperor for fifty-five years. However, it is estimated that because of the emergence of Chen Can, history will completely change!

Li Qiande, who is thirty-four years old this year, is in the prime of life. When he learned that foreign enemies were invading, he immediately put on armor and summoned the army!

The Dai Viet Kingdom in this era is known as the "Golden Age", and its total domestic military strength is known as half a million!

These hundreds of thousands of infantrymen basically did not have uniform clothes, and even their weapons were not uniform. Eighteen classes of weapons were equipped with knives, forks and wooden sticks.

The war is about to break out!

Li Qiande could no longer bear it anymore. The hatred he had been waiting for for many days could finally be vented at this moment!

The resources of the Dai Viet Kingdom are actually much richer than those of the Southwest Yi region. It has the largest coal mine in Southeast Asia and is also extremely rich in iron ore. The most important thing is the rich ore. These are the war resources that the Dragon Kingdom urgently needs now!

In addition to coal and iron, Dai Viet's current grain output is four times that of the Southwest Yi region, and its population is twice that of the Southwest Yi region. These are excellent war resources!

After occupying this land, everything belongs to the Dragon Kingdom!

Chen Can actually has complicated feelings about this land!

Chen Can has made a decision. No matter what happens here in the future, during his rule, he will carry out thorough reforms in this land and make this land completely Chinese!

Although this "claim" is a bit exaggerated, Dai Viet has a lot of troops!

Li Qiande immediately summoned nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and then personally drove and conquered!

Among these 100,000 soldiers and horses, they are mainly infantry, including 3,000 cavalry, more than 1,000 elephant soldiers, and more than 100 chariots as supplements, forming a mighty army to meet the Dragon Kingdom's army head-on!

Many of the elephant riders on them were thrown off by the elephant's violent behavior, and many of them were crushed by the huge elephant's feet before they could get up!

Li Qiande, who was among the elephant cavalry, had a look of horror on his face. He was holding on to the fixed seat tightly, and the guards around him shouted to escort him. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people were charging at this time, and no one cared about Li Qiande's safety!

Zhao Xu hated Xixia, the white-eyed wolf, and decided to defeat this white-eyed wolf completely!

The death of Zhao Xu once again escalated the friction between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and Xixia, which had just surrendered, began to feel restless again.

After learning that Li Qiande was marching in person, Chen Can immediately ordered the army to slow down the attack.

Originally, Chen Can wanted to show off his incredible skills and boost military morale, but he didn't need it at all!

Everywhere they went, faced with the offensive of thousands of troops, the resistance of the monkeys was completely vulnerable. They basically encountered no decent resistance along the way!

Chen Can really overestimated the army of this era. Perhaps it was not that the enemy was too weak, but that his own side was too strong!

Although his martial arts skills are invincible, Chen Can is always cautious when facing a country, for fear of capsizing in the gutter!

With this attack speed, Chen Can was worried that Li Qiande had just set off and he would hit the opponent's lair, which would be meaningless!

Today's Dali Kingdom is actually already in Chen Can's pocket.

Although Chen Can has not yet established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, he has already implemented a monarchy internally, and the division of various departments has already been clear!

After Wanyan Aguda in the north unified the Jurchen tribe, he began to stir up troubles in the Liao Kingdom, and Chen Can in the south would naturally not be content with being behind others!

The war against Dai Viet has been completely planned!

In 1100 AD, on the fourth day of April, the Long Kingdom assembled 50,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and 20,000 logistics troops, claiming to be 100,000 troops. The troops were divided into three groups, from Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Yongzhou to attack the Dai Viet Kingdom. Attack!

Chen Can, who was opposite, watched this scene with cold eyes. The Long Kingdom Military Department had already formulated various methods to target the weaknesses of the armies of various countries.

In addition to the cavalry, the chain armor on the infantry is also made of fine iron, and the spears in their hands are all made of fine steel. Because everyone has practiced Shaolin martial arts, their fierce aura is like a dark cloud. Potential!

What does it mean to have strong soldiers and strong horses? This is it!

In the past few years, compared to Dai Viet's provocation, the relationship between Dali and Long has been in a honeymoon period.

Even the horses they ride on are all Western Region horses. After several years of running in, this cavalry has finally made its true debut!

After occupying the Kingdom of Dai Viet, the territory of the Dragon Kingdom has more than doubled. Now it is time to harvest the fruits of victory!

The jackal of Xixia developed step by step under the eyes of the Song Dynasty. In the end, the Song Dynasty could only allow Xixia to establish its country and proclaim itself emperor.

Chen Can really didn’t expect that Dai Viet Kingdom would be so invincible!

The scene of thousands of elephants attacking together is shocking!

The reason why Dai Viet Kingdom has been so brave in recent years is that these thousands of elephant cavalry are their real trump card.

The best way to deal with elephants is fire attack!

In fact, there are many elephants in the southwestern Yi, and even before, some forces had elephant cavalry.

In Chen Can's opinion, the soldiers of Dai Viet are indeed similar to beggars, even worse than the beggars of the Beggar Clan!

In the first battle of Pingxia City, both sides won or lost. In the end, Xixia dispatched 500,000 troops and captured thousands of Song troops, winning a small victory!

Because of this small victory, Xixia became more arrogant and harassed the Song Dynasty border several times!

He waved his hand, and the horn of attack sounded "woo woo". When the thousands of elephant cavalry at the front heard the horn sound, they began to make a heavy "stomp" sound.

And Wanyan Aguda in the Liao Kingdom has unified the Jurchen tribe in the north and is about to cause a storm!

In the Song Dynasty, due to continuous wars and heavy domestic taxes, the people were miserable. There were constant uprisings in various places. It was the end of the dynasty!

During the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, historical figures such as the famous Song Jiang and Fang La began to make their debut.

As early as several months ago, the war plan had been formulated. In the past few months, after thorough perfection, it was finally decided to carry out this war to destroy the country!

In the past few years, the caravans of the southwestern barbarians have visited almost all the surrounding countries. The maps they have drawn have been piled up in several warehouses. They are always preparing for future wars.

Too weak!

Chen Can raised the long knife in his hand, without using any internal force, and the horse under his crotch almost didn't pause at all, and just killed it all the way!

Looking back, Chen Can looked at the Dai Viet soldiers running around. The fields were littered with corpses, and the water drains were dyed red with blood. Seeing the gunpowder smoke in the distance, Chen Can felt dull!

On April 23, 1100 AD, Li Qiande, the leader of the Dayue Kingdom who was personally conquering the country, died!

On April 27th, the Long Kingdom army captured the capital of Dayue Kingdom, and Dayue Kingdom was officially destroyed!

From the launch of the attack to the collapse of Dai Viet, it only took twenty-three days!

The result of the war was that the Song army defeated Xixia's 400,000 troops with 200,000 troops. Xixia was defeated at once and was so frightened that it quickly asked for help from Liao!

Most of the soldiers were wearing straw sandals and were barefoot. Chen Can even saw several bare-butt half-grown men following the crowd holding up a black fire stick!

Simply save your energy, rest on the spot, and wait for the decisive battle!

As the spies gathered the information one by one, Chen Can finally found it interesting!

Li Qiande's mount is a four-meter-tall cavalry, surrounded by thousands of majestic elephant cavalry. Within a radius of several miles, tens of thousands of soldiers are already ready to go, waiting for the decisive battle to begin!

If you look at the number of people, the army of the Dai Viet Kingdom far exceeds the army of the Long Kingdom, because Chen Can deliberately slowed down the attack speed of the army and allowed troops from all over the Dai Viet Kingdom to arrive one after another, eventually forming a huge team of nearly 300,000 people.

Chen Can was wearing Ziyun black armor, followed by five thousand personal guards, all of whom were neat black-armored cavalry!

The armor on these black-armored cavalry is made entirely of steel, and the long knives in their hands are made of multiple forging processes. Their hardness far exceeds the craftsmanship of other countries in this era!

If the Dragon Kingdom is given another ten years, Chen Can believes that the Dragon Kingdom can annex the Dali Kingdom without a single soldier.
