As a result, Su Weng City, which originally seemed to have only 1,000 Cambodian soldiers, immediately became abundant, and more than 10,000 people signed up to defend the city in a short period of time. Ding Dingwei divided them into groups, and tried to have some soldiers in each group who knew military affairs, so that with the leader of the team, there would be more hope of victory when the battle started.

To say that the courage of the people is very good, whether it is sincerely to protect their homeland, protect their families and the fruits of their labor, or they come to the reward with a fancy for the reward, they all climb the tower without exception. It's just that when they really fight the enemy, their untrained disadvantage is quickly highlighted.

For example, some people were nervous, and after lifting the stones, they did not wait for the Siamese army to climb the siege ladder, and threw the stones first, which did not have the slightest effect; For example, some people tremble when they hold their swords, and when they find that the enemy has climbed the tower by the ladder, they throw the sword so that they have to fight the enemy unarmed. For example, some people see people around them falling, see blood flowing all over the ground, see some heads split in half, see some intestines flowing out of their stomachs, and vomit because of this, and are unable to do anything; For example...

Too many accidents have occurred, and because of this, the number of people who have died defending the city has increased, and there are miserable cries above and below the city. In this regard, Ding Dingwei did not shed tears, he did not want to, but he couldn't. As the only commander, as the backbone of everyone, he is required not to show the slightest soft-heartedness. All he could do was to give the gold and silver to the families of the meritorious men and warriors who had died in battle, and keep his promise.

So much so that those limited gold and silver soon shone brightly, and eventually Ding Dingwei had to make an IOU. In his words, as long as Su Weng City can be defended, he can come to him at any time with these IOUs in the future, and he will definitely pay them one by one.

Whether they got the cash or the IOU, they at least had hope for the future of their lives. On the contrary, once Su Weng City is breached, everything they have now will be in vain, even if it is for their own future, they have no choice but to defend it at this moment.

It was under such firm belief that countless people picked up swords and guns and rushed to the city tower, and just relied on a stream of blood to block the onslaught of the Siamese army's 100,000 troops.

The general who led the army, Tong Si, was originally full of trust in the capture of Suweng City. At one time, he thought that the city, which only had a thousand people guarding the city, might not be able to take it in half a day, but after nearly ten days of delay here, he still failed to occupy the city, which made him very angry. What made him even more angry was that news came from the front, saying that the 5,000 vanguard troops sent out were all killed under the city of Phnom Penh, the whole army was annihilated, and the 5,000 heads were made into Jingguan, and they stood under the city to warn the world.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around." Hearing that the attack on Phnom Penh City was also very unsmooth, General Yusi was furious and scolded, and at the same time, he ordered to continue to capture Su Weng City. He may be able to bypass here, but if the attack on Phnom Penh City does not go well, he will not even have a rear base. If this is the case, how should we treat the injured too much? Once there is not enough food and grass, it will be very troublesome to transport.

In the long run, Suweng City must be captured, otherwise a series of actions in the later stage will not be able to be carried out

。

Under the city of Suweng, the sound of the horn became more urgent, the number of ladders that rushed was more and more, and the number of soldiers who launched the charge was also increasing. But all this is under the heart of the soldiers and civilians of Su Weng City, who are all soldiers, and they are still unable to do it, and they attack day after day, in addition to sending more lives to both sides, Su Weng City is still standing on this land, and the five-star flag is still flying high above the city.

The siege of Suweng City continued, and the 1st Sea Division, under the leadership of Kaohsiung, deputy commander of the Navy and commander of the 1st Navy Army, rushed all the way to the Gulf of Siam. Here met the 50,000 Siamese navy, which had been prepared for a long time.

It seems that they have known for a long time that the five-star army naval division will appear here, and Kaohsiung has just entered this sea area, and the reconnaissance and clipper ships in front of them have returned, reporting that more than 800 sea ships flying the Siamese flag are coming from all directions, and a frame is about to surround them.

"It's a search for death. Pass the order down, put it in and fight again. "The Kaohsiung army commander's face does not change color, and his heart does not beat. Before, they even had the Great Philippine Naval Division with Western artillery easily annihilated, but now they are facing the Siamese Naval Division, which is even more backward in artillery technology, where is there anything to be afraid of?

When the order was given, the entire Hai 1st Division became excited. Previously, the 2nd Sea Division and the 4th Sea Division joined forces to severely damage Ma Kecheng's pirate army, and when the news came, they were envious. Well, now they finally have a chance to fight a big battle.

Compared with the original two divisions defeating 60,000 pirates, this time one of their divisions will face 50,000 Siamese sea divisions, and the credit will only be greater.

At that moment, the boats kept a certain distance and began to move slowly. The reconnaissance ships in front kept sending back the news they had seen through the command flag. Two hours later, the two sides finally met in the Gulf of Siam.

From a distance, the 50,000 sea divisions of Siam are immense, and the dense crowd seems to be endless. But in this regard, some of the officers and men of the 1st Hai Division were only more excited, at least there was not the slightest nervousness and fear on their faces. When you know that the enemy's artillery can't hit you, and they can aim at the target to destroy them as much as they want, where does the fear come from?

When he saw that there were more than 100 ships coming in, and he didn't even have one-sixth of their strength, his face was full of confidence, "Hahaha, order the whole army to storm, surround them, and fight for not a single one." ”

The previous defeat of Ma Kecheng has not yet spread, and then the Siamese naval division came to send him to death, which is the sadness of information blockage, and it is also destined to be a naval battle without suspense and at the same time an unequal one.

The First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle was an unequal naval battle, and the tonnage of the warships on both sides was too different, which ultimately led to the crushing defeat of the Qing Dynasty. Today's naval battle of the Gulf of Siam seems to be the same, the power of the artillery, especially the complete unequal attack distance, has already been declared before the battle.

Equipped with a small number of artillery, they still relied on the Siamese Sea Division, which mainly relied on bows, arrows, knives and guns in close combat, and when they were still five miles away from the First Division of the Five-Star Army, and they were still advancing at full speed and wanted to get close to fight, the cannon sounded suddenly.

The Siamese naval division, which was completely unprepared and unprepared, rushed to the front of the warship, and one after another was hit, or slowly sank, or broke in two, or ignited a fire, and soon it was completely destroyed

Plunged into chaos.

In contrast, the 1st Sea Division advanced moderately, and while the artillery fire roared, the four regiments plus one battalion directly under the division broke forward in five directions, and one after another Siamese sea ships entered their line of sight and became one target after another.

Under the completely unequal military strength and completely unequal weapons and equipment, the Siamese naval division did not even have the power to parry, and finally one after another was bombarded by artillery and sank into the sea, without a trace.

Only half an hour later, the Siamese Sea Division, which had been bombarded in a completely chaotic formation, began to retreat. After seeing the power of the artillery of the Wude Army and the Marine Division, they finally saw the gap between the other side and knew that they could not fight or die.

The general of the Siamese Navy Division took the lead in retreating, wanting to get out of the war zone. In this regard, the artillery ruler of the 1st Hai Division began to be extended, from the previous five miles and six miles to the current eight miles and ten miles, and even the final twelve and thirteen miles.

In terms of speed, the five-star navy has a larger tonnage of sea ships and a faster speed, which is equivalent to chasing the other party from beginning to end. Often, the faster the Siamese ships run, the faster they run, and the artillery fire continues to bombard, expanding the results of the battle again and again.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, from night to dawn, and from dawn to noon, and so on, until it lasted for two days, and finally came to an end.

50,000 Siamese Army Navy Division soldiers, 800 large and small sea ships, in 48 hours, the number of sea ships that were hit and sunk reached nearly 500, more than 200 ships were forced to hang up the white flag and surrender, and finally only General Mengwo fled back to the dock with more than 30 ships, and then it was covered by a burst of artillery fire, in addition to Mengwo saw the opportunity quickly, with more than 2,000 people after escaping, the other 3,000 Siamese troops responsible for guarding the pier were also buried in the artillery fire.

In this battle, all the naval divisions of the Siamese State were wiped out, and the seemingly powerful Siamese State by the sea became a shipless country.

The 1st Hai Division pursued all the way, except for leaving a small number of ships to take over the captured ships, the main force successively occupied the two islands of Koi and Samet, and finally approached the front of Bangkok, the capital of Siam. If it weren't for the fact that the royal capital was too far away from the coastline, I am afraid that the 1st Hai Division would have bombarded Bangkok City here.

All the naval divisions of the Siamese Kingdom were wiped out, and the five-star naval divisions pursued all the way, occupying a number of docks, and it was less than 300 miles from the nearest sea to the city of Bangkok. As soon as the news came out, it was the six gods who frightened the king of Yiliqi, and before he hurried, he hurriedly sent another second-rank general, Na Ayu, with an army of 100,000 to defend the coastal defense with General Mengwo, to prevent the five-star army from rushing to the land and threatening their south.

The demise of the Siamese naval division made them in a crisis in the south, and it also represented that the two sides had changed from the earliest Siamese attack to a stalemate in the five-star military defense.

There was not enough army, and the 1st Hai Division did not go ashore in danger, but only confronted the Siamese army of 100,000 on the coastline, occasionally firing one or two cannons to deter the other side; In Vientiane City, the provincial governor Luan Xiaochen is constantly transferring troops from the province to organize forces to prepare for a counterattack at any time; In Suweng City, there are thousands of people or even more to pay for defending the city every day, but Vice Governor Ding Dingwei has never taken a step back, and has been persevering, waiting for the opportunity to be rescued.
