Come to Daming with military supplies

Gedan will not launch an attack at will. Luo Po, the commander of the Second Army in the city, and the police of Chixian City Headquarters

Chief Long Tienan and Governor of Laos Luan Xiaochen also sat together to discuss how to deal with the situation.

The Second Army did not mobilize the entire army this time. While Laos Province was not peaceful, the Ava Dynasty in the west was also not peaceful. In addition, the battle between the Nanming Army in the north and the rebel Zhu Huixun was also continuing. If Zhu Huixun is defeated, he will move to the Lang Son area, but leaving a Leng Seventh Division there is already the minimum.

It is precisely because of the lack of strength of the Second Army and the Second Army that they have only two divisions to face Siam's 20 troops, including [-] cavalry, which makes them obviously feel that their strength is tight. It is possible to defend the city, but It is very risky to go out of the city and attack.

"Commander Luo, what do you mean?" In the Governor's Mansion, Luan Xiaochen poured a cup of tea for Luo Po as the host, and then asked aloud.

"This battle is not easy to fight. The opponent has [-] cavalry and can attack at any time. If we go out of the city to fight, we are likely to face counterattacks at any time. Once we are entangled by the opponent's cavalry, our musket advantage cannot be fully exploited." Obviously, not only will the enemy be unable to inflict heavy damage, but it may also implicate oneself, which will eventually lead to problems in the defense of Vientiane City." Luo Po was born in a soldier and has a habit of speaking directly, so he didn't mean to hide it, and just said it straight .

"That's right, we have less than 2 troops. Even if we add the 3 Lao soldiers in Noh City, it's less than 20. In a battle of [-], they are still veterans of the Siamese army. It's not wise to attack." Long Tienan also said. Open your mouth to express your opinion.

It is true that there are 1 Lao troops in the entire Laos province, but not all of them are guarding the provincial capital. There are only [-] people here. What about the ability to launch an attack?

When Long Tienan expressed his opinion, Luan Xiaochen nodded to show that he understood.In a sense, both Luan Xiaochen and Long Tienan belong to the power of foreign relatives.One is Yang Chendong's brother-in-law, and the other is his brother-in-law. This status makes it much more convenient for them to do some things, but on the other hand, their every move affects people's hearts all the time. .

It is of course good that things have been done well, and they can be rewarded faster than others for their meritorious deeds.But once there is a problem, it is inevitable that even Yang Chendong will be accused of nepotism, which is a big disadvantage, which makes the two of them have too many restrictions on how to do things.

"Since both of you have this opinion, let's focus on defending the city first, and then report this opinion to the Sixth Young Master." Luan Xiaochen finally said in a way of summarizing, which is to say that the plan for defending the city has been given. .

Vientiane City has two divisions of the Second Army in charge of defense, so it is absolutely safe.When the telegram was delivered to Yang Chendong, he said to the telegrapher Wang Shan: "Yes, tell them to keep an eye on the movement of the 20 Siamese troops, and if they find that they want to withdraw or divide their troops, they can look for opportunities to attack. Before that, the most important thing is to defend the city."

The telegraph operator Wang Shan led away, leaving behind Yang Chendong, who looked to the northwest and said, "Yang Er, order Longwei to speed up. The other reinforcements may not be able to catch up for a while, and other places can be busy, but Phnom Penh City is no matter what. How can nothing happen.

Chapter 21 Black Knight Charge

The Cambodian Province has just been established for two years, and the first year and a half was spent on calming chaos and making basic suggestions, and it took only half a year to really develop.

This has just started to improve, and it is about to experience the baptism of war. If even the provincial capital is lost this time, it will undoubtedly have an extremely bad impact on the entire province.If you want to stabilize the situation again, you don't know how much effort you need to spend.

For the long-term development in the future, other places can be lost, but Phnom Penh, the provincial capital, must not be lost.What Yang Chendong has to do now is to come to Phnom Penh City as quickly as possible, and go to the front line to command the battle in person.

In Phnom Penh, the governor of Cambodia Sun Xiaoguang is directing the crowd to prepare stones, kerosene and other things.

There has been news from the front that the Siamese army has reached the front of Suweng City. In order to ensure the safety of the gateway city, he has dispatched 5000 Cambodian troops, so that there are only [-] soldiers guarding Phnom Penh City.

This is already a very dangerous number. Once Suweng City is also lost, then Phnom Penh City will be really dangerous.

Feeling a little uncertain, Sun Xiaoguang looked at the president of the chamber of commerce, Du En, and general Da En, and asked, "Both of you are old people here. In your opinion, can Su Weng City be kept safe?"

This question made the faces of the two of them a little ugly.In the end, Du En looked directly at Du En and said, "Governor, I'm afraid it's not easy to defend. You know, although Suweng City is a big city, there are only 1000 defenders. Even if 5000 people are sent later, the news is It is said that the Siamese army came with 10 people. With [-] versus [-], they came prepared, and the subordinates are really not optimistic about this battle."

"Yes, our limited military strength is a flaw." Cambodian General Dahn also took the opportunity to put forward his point of view.

Ordinarily, the lack of combat power in the army was originally his general's responsibility.But who told the Yang family to have a rule that as a province-based area, there can only be [-] soldiers.Such a large Cambodian province is equivalent to the former Phnom Penh Dynasty, with only [-] troops. It is okay to suppress bandits at ordinary times, and there is no problem in maintaining the stability of the area. up.

How could Sun Xiaoguang not know what Du En and Da En said.However, if there are too many troops in a province, it will not only increase their burden, but also be a hidden danger.Once someone takes the opportunity to revolt, the larger the number of troops, the greater the destructive power.Therefore, he wholeheartedly agreed with Yang Chendong's decision not to allow more troops in the province, and this meant that in the event of foreign invasion, the only way to go was to ask for help.

"The governor of the two provinces knows the thoughts. We will do what we should do, and believe that reinforcements will arrive in a short time. At that time, everything we lost will be regained. We also believe that in Suweng The deputy governor of the city, Ding Dingwei, will definitely hold out until our reinforcements arrive." Sun Xiaoguang could only speak in such a cheering way.But even he didn't know when reinforcements would arrive.

While waiting anxiously and nervously, a day later, bad news came that Su Weng City was in danger.The Siamese army was much faster than they expected. First, they sent [-] reinforcements to encircle the city of Suong in one step, and then led [-] Cambodian troops into the encirclement by encircling and attacking reinforcements, and then besieged and killed.

After annihilating [-] Cambodian troops, Suweng City is already in jeopardy without foreign aid.Taking advantage of this time, the [-] pioneers of the Siamese Army had already headed straight for Phnom Penh.

The news was sent back by the scouts in front. After learning the news, Sun Xiaoguang was surprised, and at the same time, he went to the city tower again and issued an order that no one should open the city gate except his order. Du En, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, asked him to pay close attention to the status of other members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Businessmen have always been mercenary, and it is difficult to be loyal.It is normal for Sun Xiaoguang to have such concerns. President Du En, who was instructed by himself, immediately said that he would go all out for the chamber of commerce and ensure that there would be no problems.

The former right minister of the Phnom Penh Dynasty has lived a very comfortable life recently.After changing from an official to a businessman, without more confinement, he doesn't have to look at other people's faces when spending money. In addition, he is the president with considerable power, which has earned him a lot of money. He has already He even took three concubines, was rich and beautiful to accompany him, and didn't have to worry about being impeached by others. He would never allow others to break such a good life.

Even for himself, Du En will do his best, which Sun Xiaoguang still trusts.After sending off President Du En, he boarded the tower with General Da En, waiting for the first enemy to appear.

Another day later in the morning, looking out from the tower of Phnom Penh, a dense Siamese army appeared.They carried all kinds of military flags and came to Phnom Penh City with great joy. It seemed that whoever took a slow step would get less benefit.

"Tell the soldiers, prepare your bows and arrows." Cambodian General Dahn entered the role of commander.At the same time, Governor Sun Xiaoguang also began to direct the people in the city to deliver anti-city items to the city tower. The president of the chamber of commerce, Du En, also came here with a group of members of the chamber of commerce. It's the rich and the rich and the rich and the rich, but it's a busy scene.

"Master, the enemy has appeared, and there are five thousand people." In a barren mountain eight miles outside Phnom Penh, Yang Er told Yang Chendong who was resting against a large rock that the scouts had brought back.

They rushed all the way and finally arrived here at noon yesterday.But Yang Chendong was not in a hurry to enter the city, he wanted to see how Phnom Penh City defended against the enemy, and whether they could hold on in such a difficult environment.

After several days of rushing on the road, the thousand black knights finally got a good rest, and finally waited for the enemy from afar.

"Really? Order the scouts to keep an eye on every move in the distance, and at the same time let everyone have a good rest. The big battle is coming." After Yang Chendong opened his eyes and finished speaking, he closed his eyes again for a nap.As the founder of the Yang family and one of the most core figures, he has too many things to worry about, requiring him to seize every moment he can rest to rest.

Above the city tower in Phnom Penh, Governor Sun Xiaoguang and others did not know that the Sixth Young Master was eight miles away from them.At this moment, all their attention is on the enemy below the city.

The [-] Siamese vanguard army first shouted to persuade them to surrender as soon as they came to the city.They bluntly said that the [-] Siamese army is behind them, and they can arrive at any time. If they surrender now, they can save their lives. Otherwise, when the army arrives, even if they want to surrender, they will not be able to save their lives.

For this act of persuading surrender, Cambodian general Da En responded with actions.A burst of bows and arrows were shot down, and after shouting, he had to retreat again and again, shouting and cursing.

Since it was useless to persuade them to surrender, the next step was to attack the city. The 5000 troops were divided into four groups and attacked the four city gates.This kind of one-on-one battle with an attack-defense ratio had almost no suspense. After a day's siege, the Siamese army had nothing to gain except for dropping hundreds of corpses and hundreds of wounded.

The siege failed, and the Siamese army was not in a hurry, but concentrated in one place under the city and set up camps. They were waiting, waiting for the main force of the Siamese army to arrive. At that time, they would attack the city with all their strength and start killing. hour.

When it got dark, there were still torches swimming on the towers of Phnom Penh from time to time to prevent the city from being stolen, and then all they could do was to send people to keep a close eye on the more than 4000 Siamese troops under the city.With the existing troops in the city, it is not enough to defend the city, let alone go out of the city to steal camps. If it is done well, there may be some gains, but if it is not done well, it will be tantamount to opening the city gate to let the enemy enter.

Neither Governor Sun Xiaoguang nor General Da En would take such a risk lightly.They also seemed to know that the Cambodian army would not leave the city lightly, and the Siamese army under the city was not in a hurry to do things. They just arranged for [-] soldiers to be on duty, and they should go to sleep when they should be sleeping.

The army inside the city did not dare to fight out, so the troops stationed outside the city could naturally rest easy.But they ignored the existence of one person, that is, Yang Chendong and One Thousand Black Riders who arrived here one day earlier.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a thousand who can become a black rider.According to the eight-character policy given by Yang Chendong, the ferocity of wolves and the loyalty of dogs.

This black cavalry with only one thousand members is a very troublesome existence for even the first cavalry division in the world, which is famous for its cavalry and traverses between heaven and earth.Once in an exercise, a thousand black knights abruptly defeated the warriors of the first cavalry division of the world's cavalry, which numbered [-].Facing the black cavalry, whose whole body, including the horse, was heavily protected, even Master Tian Hu felt extremely headache.

And the black cavalry, who deserved to be the absolute number one among this cavalry, will be dispatched tonight, and the target is less than five thousand Siamese enemies under the city of Phnom Penh.

The black knight, who had rested for a day and a night, was in the strongest state at this moment, and the killing intent was also at the most vigorous moment.The Sixth Young Master has already said that tonight they can go on a killing spree. They don't need prisoners, they just need to watch from the capital. They want to use this battle to show the main force of the Siamese army that is coming, so that they can know and dare to fight with the five-star army. What a serious consequence it would be for the army to be the enemy.

In the dark night, after Yang Chendong gave an order, he took the lead, followed by a thousand black cavalry. They were originally in full armor, and under the cover of the Heifu, it was difficult for anyone to find their tracks even at a distance of ten meters.

Under the leadership of Yang Chendong, a thousand black riders did not choose to attack immediately.The equipment was too heavy, making them unsuitable for long-distance raids, so they came cautiously, until they were only three miles away from the enemy camp, and when the torches of the enemy camp could already be seen, Yang Chendong pulled his right hand to his waist, and immediately took the steel knife , "Brothers, rush with me!"

Chapter 22 Ding Dingwei's Promise

"Come on!" The thousand black knights who couldn't wait for a long time shouted loudly, and then there was a rumbling sound of iron hooves on the ground, and the impact began.

There were loud noises and the ground trembled. The five hundred soldiers on duty of the Siamese Army who were sleeping peacefully were startled by this change. Come, and then the silver light flickered.

People borrow the speed of the horse, and the sword borrows the power of the horse. When the silver knife, which is better than ordinary iron, is swung, an unknown number of heads fly up, and an unknown number of weapons are cut in two in front of a photo.

The appearance of the black knight caught the Siamese army by surprise.The five hundred guards were chopped down one by one as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. Just one meeting, and three hundred of the 500 fell down.Under the strong combat power, the remaining Siamese soldiers on duty had long since lost the courage to fight again. Apart from running away with their heads in their hands, they just shouted for help, and even some timid ones knelt down and surrendered directly.

The appearance of the black knights is like the god of death in the dark night. The powerful combat power they display is daunting, and there is no desire to resist at all.

The five hundred prepared Siamese troops are so vulnerable, not to mention those other Siamese soldiers who have been exhausted for a day because of the siege.Many people were thrown from their tents while they were asleep, and their heads were already lost while they were still asleep.

With a thousand pairs of enemies more than four times the number, the black knights showed their powerful and ferocious side.Every time the sword is raised, there will be an enemy's corpse separated, and every time the horse gallops on the road, there will always be bright red blood and the miserable sound of countless enemies wailing.
