Come to Daming with military supplies

Sure enough, when Wu Sheng passed through the first and second guard lines and came to Yang Chendong, he saluted with a dark face, "Sixth young master, humble and incompetent, didn't you catch that Hun Sen?"

"He really ran away?" Yang Chendong also had to lament that anyone who can become a vanguard general should not be underestimated, otherwise why was this person not among the [-] prisoners captured?

"Yes, he ran away. I took a battalion and chased them all the way. I killed more than 300 enemy soldiers and captured some prisoners. Among them were Hun Sen's soldiers. They personally confirmed that this person had escaped. .” Reported in a depressed tone.Then Wu Sheng straightened his body, "Sixth young master, please fight in a lowly position, continue to chase with the first battalion, no matter what, we must kill this enemy general who looks down on us."

Wu Sheng is not just talking.Before the battle, he made a bet with Luo Po, the second head of the regiment and his old superior, to see who could catch Hun Sen. Unexpectedly, it ended like this in the end.

"Okay, there's no need to chase him. Besides, he won't be able to run away. We will enter the city of Phnom Penh in a short time. At that time, we will see how this person escapes. As for now, arrange for someone to send the prisoner back immediately." In Laos, there are people who will meet you there, hehe, 40 captives are still strong laborers, I think Yu Qian will be very happy to receive them." Yang Chendong laughed.Intelligence has shown that the entire Phnom Penh Dynasty has only [-] soldiers, which also includes [-] new troops.And in the first battle, a quarter of the opponent's troops were wiped out. No matter how you look at it, this was a big victory. Presumably, when the news spread, many people's eyes would be blinded.

The Battle of Kratie was equivalent to a blow to the Phnom Penh Dynasty, proving that the mercenary regime was sacred and inviolable, but at the same time it exposed its own position.It is obviously unrealistic to plan to carry out sneak attacks next.

But even so, Yang Chendong and the mercenaries were full of confidence.Usually they practice desperately, aren't they waiting for a better performance on the battlefield?

Hun Sen escaped, relying on the better quality of the mount he stepped on, he ran very fast, until the horse was foaming at the mouth, he dismounted and walked, and at this time he could already see the next city, Chuanlong the city walls.

The mercenaries suddenly appeared in the territory and defeated the [-] vanguard army led by Hun Sen in Kratie, taking more than [-] prisoners.After the news was confirmed by Hun Sen himself, the guard of Chuanlong City quickly sent the news to the capital Phnom Penh.

Along with the news, the fact that Shangding City was destroyed and [-] soldiers and civilians were massacred.These were all passed on by the people who were intentionally released from the city by the mercenaries, and there was absolutely no problem with their reliability.

The two news spread one after the other in the territory of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, causing waves of panic among the people.The mercenaries are so powerful that they occupied two cities in a short period of time and killed and captured 10,000+ people. Can their country's army defeat such an opponent?

In the city of Phnom Penh, when the news arrived, it was not only the common people who panicked, but also some dignitaries.

They know that mercenaries are powerful, after all, this has been proven by the facts.Because of this, they took out their property to support the country's army, hoping to win the war with heavy rewards.But now, the facts slapped them all in the face, and everyone fell silent in unison.Questions also appeared in their hearts, that is, is it right or wrong for them to choose to support their own country to fight against the mercenaries?

In the royal palace, the moment King Boromo received the battle report, he sat there as if petrified and did not move for a long time.When he came back to his senses, he cursed loudly.

First, they scolded the mercenaries for not playing cards according to the routine. They obviously seemed to be calming down and admitting cowardice, but they did suddenly send troops and beat them by surprise by means of a sneak attack. Then they scolded Hun Sen for his stupidity and incompetence. He was completely defeated in less than two hours. This is not a vanguard general, he is clearly a fool.Thinking again that this person caused this matter, he became even more furious, and wished he could just peel off the other party's skin and cramps to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Cursed and scolded, the situation will not be changed in the slightest because of his cursing.What to do next is ultimately up to him, the king, to make up his mind. "General Dahn, I will give you 15 troops to guard Chuanlong City. In any case, you cannot let the mercenaries take a step forward. This king will immediately send people to ask for help from the Siamese and Ava dynasties. Since everyone is an ally, they will always You can’t watch us get beaten and ignore it.”

Chapter 6 and Ten

The alliance has become his life-saving straw, and Poromo only hopes that they will send troops to Laos Province with the idea of ​​death.As long as there is movement from them, the mercenaries will probably retreat under the enemy's back and forth. At that time, it is time for him to recover what he lost and shake the country's prestige again.

He quickly arranged for someone to find foreign aid, and then his eyes were firmly on Chuanlongcheng.Not only King Boramo, but many people in the entire Phnom Penh Dynasty turned their attention to Chuanlong City, wanting to see what would happen if the two armies collided, whether it would be beneficial or unfavorable.

Laos province.

The news of the victory in the Jujing City battle finally came back.

At the beginning, it was just some gossip, but it was not confirmed, and many nobles were already dumbfounded.Didn't it mean that mercenaries won't do it?Didn't it mean that they were cowardly?Why did the fight start so soon, and they hadn't received any news before.

There are also smart people among the nobles, and they quickly thought of the fact that the [-] Laotian mercenaries were transferred to the south.At that time, it was said that it was to eliminate the bandits and chaos, and at the same time prevent the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty from overwhelming the border, but now it seems that this is simply an excuse. I am afraid that they will have to go to the battlefield by then.

The nobles often bribed the soldiers of the Laotian mercenary army. After all, these people were native here, with too many concerns and shortcomings.But obviously these people were also kept in the dark, and they didn't know their mission until the moment before the war, but at that time, because of the strict blockade, they were unable to send the news back.

So what does this mean?Is it because the mercenaries knew that they would stretch out their hands indiscriminately, and they are already prepared, or is it all just because of military needs?

If it is the latter, of course it doesn't matter. It is also understandable that the army needs to block the news.But if it was the former, would their casual meddling in the military affairs of the mercenaries cause dissatisfaction among some people, and would they even be regarded as the next target of punishment?

These aristocrats were originally some people who had lost their power, and they just inherited too many things by relying on the shadow of their ancestors, but in fact they were already down.If the mercenaries are stepping up at this time, how can they still have the ability to resist?

Just when these people were in panic all day long, the news that the mercenaries killed tens of thousands of enemies and captured [-] enemies in the two big cities of Ke Shangding and Jujing was published in Yang Bao.For a while, all the Tianxiazhi Inns in the cities were overcrowded. Many people squeezed in here, drank free tea, listened to literate people telling the things in the newspaper over and over again, and then looked excited and excited.

Under the interference of public opinion from Yang Bao, more and more people learned about the policies of Laos Province; as the infrastructure construction of Laos Province was on the right track, more and more people had jobs and made money; Divide the land, so that more people can get benefits, and have their own land on which to live.

It seems that as long as the people have land in their hands, they will feel at ease and be satisfied.Thanks to repeated benefits, although the Lao provincial government has not been established for a long time, only a few months, it has already received the sincere support of many people.This time, almost everyone was happy to learn that the mercenaries guarding the fruits of their victory had won a big battle ahead.

Winning the battle means that the interests in their hands will not be taken away by others at will.And in the face of a bright future, what Lancang Kingdom, go to hell.I didn't see how good this kingdom was to the people before. If they were killed and brought back, wouldn't they go back to the time when they couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes?

People do things most directly, they don't care about right and wrong, good and bad, they only know who is good to them, and they will be good to whom.Now the policy of Laos Province is towards them, so naturally they will be towards Laos Province.In addition to the daily preaching of the red-embedded educated youths among them, and the Han people who have benefited more from standing up and shouting, the opinions of the people are surprisingly unified.Just in the afternoon when the news was published in Yang Bao, at least [-] young and middle-aged people signed up to join the army.They are supporting the Lao provincial government with practical actions.

As the governor, Luan Xiaochen was also very moved by the people's actions, but as a sub-province, there were strict regulations on how many soldiers he had. Luan Xiaochen personally met with the crowd in the square in front of the government, expressed his gratitude, and declared that there is no shortage of mercenaries now, and please go back first. If conscription is really needed, Yang Baozhong will report.As for young people who want to join the army without a whim, he suggested that they enroll in the militia first, so that they can learn some simple military knowledge. If soldiers are really needed, those with such qualifications will naturally be given priority.

It's hard to talk about it, and then more than [-] people were persuaded to go back.The occurrence of this scene quickly covered the entire Vientiane City, and it even attracted the surprise of many people.It's only been a few months, has the Lao provincial government won the hearts of the people?It seems that the most glorious period of the Lancang Kingdom could not do this.

With Luan Xiaochen in charge, under careful preparations, the provincial government is doing everything as usual. Apart from continuously transporting all kinds of war preparation materials to the front, it is fully committed to the development of commerce and infrastructure, just like Chixian City, which is developing day by day .

With the great victory ahead, those nobles did not dare to make sarcastic remarks, and became much more honest.The original backlog of goods also began to move out of the warehouse quickly when the news of the big victory ahead came.Now that the mercenaries have expressed their determination to protect the merchant group, what else do they have to worry about?Even now the goods cannot be sold to Phnom Penh, Siam and Ava.But aren't there other countries and regions around?Daming alone is a huge market, enough for them to toss about.

The merchants took action, and they had to pay more commercial taxes every time they bought goods. The money from selling goods could not be intercepted by Laos Province, and all of them had to be handed over to Chikan City afterwards, but these commercial taxes belonged to them. , can be used for the development of various tasks.It is easy to do things with money, and the development of Laos Province has entered a faster track.

But in this era of rapid development, Nong Khai City, south of Vientiane City, suddenly heard news that Siam sent 20 troops and was about to approach the city.

Under the development of the war, day by day, Siam and Ava finally had some movement.Siam, in particular, is adjacent to Vientiane City, where the provincial government of Laos is located.When they received the news of King Boromo's request for help, the upper management made the decision to send troops to Vientiane City.

King Ilich of Siam was a man of vision.When Jiaozhi was still there at the earliest and sent troops to Nanming, his attention fell here.If it weren't for the fact that he needed to cross Lancang and Jiaozhi to enter the land of Ming Dynasty, he might have the idea of ​​sending troops to seize the resources of Ming Dynasty.

The ensuing battle was a bit beyond Yiliqi's expectations. A mercenary suddenly came out and defeated the seemingly strong Jiaozhi, and then took Lancang in one fell swoop and renamed it Laos Province.After this series of actions, he immediately felt a sense of tension.

Italy is nervous about the powerful military strength of the mercenaries, and whether they will take advantage of it to attack themselves.

In all fairness, if he had such a powerful army, he would definitely not be relentless. He would definitely raise the butcher knife high, then lower it, and chop at the people and areas he thought should be hacked.He believed that this feeling was not limited to himself, and the mercenaries would feel the same way.

Originally, what he thought was how to fight out in this chaotic world, expand the territory, and create a great career.The unexpected rise of mercenaries forced him to give up this idea, thinking about how to protect himself.

This led to the alliance of Siam with Phnom Penh and the Ava Dynasty.To put it bluntly, it was because they sensed danger and huddled together to keep warm.They are confident that the three kingdoms unite together and have considerable strength. Although they are not yet able to eliminate the mercenaries, they can at least make the other party feel the pressure.

What is unexpected is that not long after the alliance was established, the matter of the Solangon family appeared.While Yilici scolded General Hun Sen for being stupid, he also paid close attention to the development of the situation.Fortunately, there was some news not long after that the mercenary suddenly stopped mentioning this matter, as if he had given up, but why couldn't he calm down?

It turned out that Ilici's hunch was right.On the surface, the mercenaries seemed to be subdued, but in private, they had been gathering their forces and launched an unexpected and swift attack. Not to mention occupying two big cities, they even directly wiped out the [-] troops of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. Weakened the strength of the opponent, and showed the invincible and powerful side of the mercenary.

Yi Liqi admired the act of sneaking over Chen Cang, but at the same time, the pressure increased tremendously.Today the mercenaries are interested in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, will they come to attack Siam tomorrow?Rather than letting the teams approach step by step, it is better for them to attack actively, especially when the main force of the mercenary army is confronting the Phnom Penh army, their chances of winning should be much higher, and once the Vientiane City is captured, not only Being able to obtain the wealth and various resources in the city is equivalent to copying the back route of the mercenaries, which greatly eased the pressure on the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

As for whether it will attract mercenaries to retaliate after doing so.Are you kidding, you are already an enemy, are you still afraid of such a thing happening?

Siam's unannounced dispatch of troops caused waves of panic in Vientiane City, and those nobles who had become honest began to move again.Some of them have even begun to secretly contact the special envoy sent by Siam, and they seem to have decided to fall to each other.

.

Chapter 6 and Eleven: Storming Chuanlong City

The high-level people were panicked, some directly chose to contact the envoy to surrender, some hesitated to take a look, and there were staunch supporters.For example, people like Lonzi and Thanos.

As the governor of Laos, Luan Xiaochen saw all this in his eyes. In addition to sending people to arrest the spies of Siam, he also made preparations for the city defense war.Now he has a cold front company, two auxiliary battalions and [-] Laotian mercenaries in his hands. If they are used well, it is not impossible to defend the city. .

Luan Xiaochen didn't intend to ask Yang Chendong for help.The matter of the Solangon family was originally caused by him agreeing to make a big deal.What's the matter, I can't hold back the situation now, do I want to find the adults behind it?The proud Luan Xiaochen couldn't do such a thing.He is actively preparing for the war, and is also considering whether it is possible to get the 7000 people who signed up to join the army to the tower. These people have already undergone seven days of military training. Know what is a military order and what is an order to prohibit.

The situation in Vientiane City became tense, but most of the provincial government staff and officials were not afraid. They did not believe in Governor Luan, but in Master Six.Since this battle was commanded by the Sixth Young Master, he would not ignore the possibility of Siam sending troops. Now that the news has spread, it won't be long before reinforcements from the mercenaries will arrive.

Everyone seemed to believe that Yang Chendong would mobilize troops from the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but they waited and waited but no news came. As time went on, people's hearts began to float.

Under Chuanlong City, the main force of the mercenary army that everyone had hoped for was gathering here at the moment.Yang Chendong was also standing in front of the sand table of the temporary headquarters, with a relaxed expression on his face, and he didn't show the slightest worry at all because the attack and defense of Vientiane City was about to start.

"Have all the battalions and companies mobilized and prepared for the battle?" Yang Chendong withdrew his gaze from the sand table, turned around lightly, and looked at Luo Po, the second regiment commander of Leng Feng, Wu Sheng, the third regiment commander, and the auxiliary regiment standing behind him. Chang Lu Zhuo and others.
