Yang Chendong was also very angry at this kind of hostage behavior, but this is war, not child's play, in order to win and protect himself, anything can happen. He couldn't blame Abu Bakr for anything, and even if he could, it was pointless. More importantly, the province of Laos, especially Cambodia, has been in a hurry, and at the moment he has little time to spend with the enemy here.

"Order, take all the ships in Mindanao away, send two regiments to guard the silver mines, and the other departments patrol around the sea, and be sure to leave this Abu Bakr here, and we will come to deal with them after we solve the trouble in Siam." Even if a hard attack is easy to hurt people, Yang Chendong simply changed the attack to a trap, he wanted to see how long the Great Philippines could hold out after losing contact with the outside world.

Yang Chendong decisively turned the siege into a siege of the island, and transferred the 1st and 2nd Sea Divisions in a way that he was not in a hurry to solve the Great Philippines. Subsequently, the 2nd Haishi Division went straight to the direction of the Strait of Malacca, entered Chumphon Island, the junction point between Manchuria and Siam, and the 1st Haishi Division was ordered to go straight to the Gulf of Siam, and was led by Kaohsiung, deputy commander of the Navy and commander of the 1st Hai Army, to pose a threat to Siam on the southern front.

The 1st and 2nd Hai Divisions were sent out, and Yang Chendong took the God of War No. 1 to Baima Port, he wanted to take a thousand black flags (Long Wei) as the first batch of people to support this place, and he had to teach Siam a good lesson first.

......

Vientiane City, Laos Province.

Long Tienan caught Haiqing, but unfortunately Du Lilong fled when he heard the news, and he didn't hear the news of the occupation of the grain in Vientiane City within the specified time, so he had a premonition that something was wrong and fled first. Fortunately, after the news came out, He Guang appeared.

He was injured by Haiqing that day, but fortunately, the knife did not hit the key position, although it is said that he cannot kill the enemy on the battlefield in a short time, but there is no problem with Luan Xiaochen to dispatch troops, how to say that there are also 30,000 Lao troops in Laos Province, although the combat strength is mediocre, only the combat effectiveness of the C-level troops, but it is also a resistance force to some extent.

Yes, Haiqing just wants to cooperate with Luan Xiaochen's work. It is rumored that Luan Xiaochen has been killed by Du Lilong, this was said by Haiqing, and many people were surprised when they heard it, how could this young governor, this promising person die young?

It turned out that Haiqing told a lie. Or he was deceived by Du Lilong at all, and Luan Xiaochen did not die at all. Not only that, when he reappeared, he was accompanied by Luo Po, the commander of the Second Army of Leng Feng, and the commanders and fighters of the Second and Sixth Divisions.

Coincidentally, on the day he disappeared, Luan Xiaochen went to Vietnam Province to see Commander Luo Po. Although there is no evidence that Siam is moving in the wrong direction, and there is no information from any intelligence agency, the Siamese merchants have not taken goods from Laos province for two months, which is genuine. Not only that, but the caravans sent to Siam by some Laos provinces were also not heard from.

This small change, after Luan Xiaochen learned about it, he did not alarm others, but decided to go to the military headquarters of the Second Army to ask Luo Po for help, in case something happened, at least he was not without soldiers.

Considering that everything is their own speculation, there is none

Empirical evidence shows that Luan Xiaochen did not alarm Yang Chendong and other colleagues in Laos Province, but went there privately. In order to prevent people from discovering his traces, he deliberately left a soft sedan chair, and dispatched ten home nurses to escort the empty sedan to and from work in the form of a cold front.

Later, Haiqing was arrested, and it was confirmed that Siam was going to move troops, and Luan Xiaochen appeared with the Second Army of the Army, and even came to Vientiane City one step ahead of General Godan of the Siamese Army. When waiting for the 200,000 soldiers of Siam to come to the city, what I saw was the Leng Feng soldiers wearing green and neat military uniforms standing densely on the Vientiane city wall.

In the five-star army, a very obvious sign to see whether a team's combat power is strong is to see if they are wearing formal clothes. For example, the 3rd Division of the 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the 3rd Army formed by the Cold Front soldiers, they usually wear military green clothes when they train and fight.

Another example is the cold front soldiers of the First and Second Naval Forces, they all have two sets of military uniforms, white and sky blue. In addition, there are not many teams that can have unified military uniforms, such as the first division of the world's cavalry, they naturally obtained this qualification by relying on their strong combat power, and most of the new first army on the grassland to defend the city, because they went out to fight all the year round, they made great military achievements, and many people also have formal military uniforms.

In addition, it is part of the New First Army, as well as the New Second Army, which has just been formed, and the Mobei Division, which has no authority to wear formal clothes. Not to mention a local C-level army like the Lao Army, which has no such power. And now that so many soldiers in formal clothes suddenly appeared on the upper floor of Vientiane City, it goes without saying that it must not be a local army like the Lao Army, but the main force of the Five-Star Army to help.

General Godan, who saw this scene from a distance in the city, flashed a look of disappointment in his eyes, and then looked back at Du Lilong, who had escaped from the city, and said, "Didn't you say that Vientiane City is in chaos?" So what's going on? ”

"This... General, do you think it could be the Lao Army pretending? Unable to think of any reason for the answer for a while, he simply pointed to the deer as a horse and said.

"Whether it's fake or not, you'll know if you try it. Someone sent 2,000 troops, and tried to fight first. "Gothan can't be sure whether these are the main forces of the Five-Star Army or the local army, so everything has to be tried. Under his orders, 2,000 Siamese troops attacked on foot.

Needless to say, when the 2,000 Siamese troops came to a position 200 meters below the city, Xiao Feng, the commander of the 2nd Army Division, who was in charge of defending the city today, gave an order to shoot at the same time with the 2,000 soldiers of the next regiment, killing most of them in just one face, and routed the enemy and fled.

This result was like a blow to the Siamese army, Godan's face was extremely ugly, and he immediately ordered: "Keep an eye on every move of the opponent's four city gates, and at the same time order 30,000 cavalry to be on standby at any time, and once you find out that the other party is going to go out of the city to fight, you will cover up for me." ”

At this moment, Gordan had to face the facts, and he had to lower his requirements. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Vientiane City, but now it seems that it is already a great achievement to be able to hold back the main force of the Five-Star Army here.

Godan will not launch an attack at will, Luo Po, the commander of the Second Army Army in the city, and the public security of the headquarters of the Red Embedded City

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

The Second Army of the Army did not dispatch the whole army this time, and while Laos Province was not peaceful, the Ava Dynasty in the west was also not at peace, and the war between the Southern Ming Army in the north and the rebellious Zhu Huixuan was also continuing, and it was not certain when Zhu Huixuan's army was defeated that he would move to the Langshan area, but leaving a cold seventh division there was already the minimum.

It is precisely because of the uneven strength of the Second Army that they have to face the 200,000 Siamese army, including 30,000 cavalry, with only two divisions, so that they can obviously feel that the strength is tight, and it is possible to defend the city, but it is very risky to attack outside the city.

"Commander Luo, what do you mean?" In the governor's mansion, Luan Xiaochen poured a cup of tea for Luo Po as the master, and then asked out loud.

"This battle is not very easy to fight, the opponent has 30,000 cavalry, can attack at any time, if we go out of the city to fight, it is likely to face a counterattack at any time, once entangled by the opponent's cavalry, the advantage of our muskets can not be fully demonstrated, not only can not inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but also may affect itself, and eventually lead to problems in the defense of Vientiane City." Luo Po was born in the military, and he is used to speaking straightforwardly, so he doesn't have the meaning of hiding it, and he speaks directly.

"Yes, our troops are less than 20,000, even if we add the 10,000 Lao troops in Noh City, it is less than 30,000, and against 200,000, we are still veterans of the Siamese army, and it is not wise to attack." Long Tienan also opened his mouth to express his opinion.

It is true that there are 30,000 Lao troops in the entire Lao Province, but not all of them are guarded in the provincial capital, there are only 10,000 here.

Long Tienan expressed his opinion, and Luan Xiaochen nodded to indicate that he understood. In a sense, Luan Xiaochen and Long Tienan both belong to the power of relatives. One is Yang Chendong's brother-in-law, and the other is his brother-in-law, this identity makes it naturally 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 good to make achievements, and you can receive awards for meritorious service faster than others. But once there is a problem, it is inevitable that even Yang Chendong will be accused of being responsible for cronyism, which is very disadvantageous, which makes the two of them have too many restrictions on doing things.

"Even if both of you have this opinion, then let's focus on defending the city first, and then report this opinion to the sixth young master to know." Luan Xiaochen finally said in a summary way, which can be regarded as a given plan to defend the city.

Vientiane City has two divisions of the Second Army Army responsible for defense, which is foolproof territory. When the telegram arrived in the hands of Yang Chendong, he said to the telegraph operator Wang Shan: "Yes, tell them to keep an eye on the movements of the 200,000 Siamese army, and if they find that they want to withdraw or divide their troops, they can find an opportunity to attack." Until then, it is important to defend the city. ”

The telegraph operator Wang Shan took the order and left, leaving Yang Chendong to look in the northwest direction and said: "Yang Er, order Long Wei to speed up, I am afraid that other reinforcements will not be able to catch up for a while, and there can be something in other places, but Phnom Penh City cannot have an accident no matter what."
