Relatively speaking, Phnom Penh City, which was originally targeted, was very calm because Su Weng City was not taken for a long time. Especially after the 5,000 Siamese vanguard army was wiped out by the black cavalry led by Yang Chendong, the Siamese second-class military general Tong Qi did not send anyone to attack.

The reason why he made this decision was that some reinforcements had already arrived, and the fifth division of the 1st Army entered Cambodia Province by boat from Chichicheng at Bazhi Port, and arrived at Phnom Penh at noon today.

For the arrival of the Fifth Division, Yang Chendong personally went out of the city to greet him, along with him the Cambodian Governor Sun Xiaoguang, the Cambodian General Dahn and the President of the Chamber of Commerce Dune and others.

Doon appeared here, and it was from the Labor Army. A group of merchants who led the city of Phnom Penh appeared, bringing a lot of meat and hot meals; General Dahn came here to prepare to join forces, and Yang Chendong, after consulting with the provincial governor Sun Xiaoguang, had already made a decision to counterattack the Siamese army and relieve the siege of Suweng.

Yang Chendong didn't know what was going on in the city, and he could hold on until now. But his intuition told him that without soldiers and food, he was afraid that they would not be able to hold out for long, and if they did not provide support, once they were broken, the situation would change dramatically.

The 5th Army Division arrived, and General Dahn was also ready to personally bring 3,000 Cambodian soldiers to cooperate with him, and with the addition of 1,000 black cavalry, the strength of the black cavalry had exceeded 10,000, and the sudden entry into the battlefield should have a good effect.

Left 2,000 Cambodian soldiers to the provincial governor Sun Xiaoguang, and told them that two cavalry divisions on the grassland were rushing here, no matter what happened, after not opening the city gate without reinforcements, Yang Chendong led more than 10,000 troops to the north.

Suong City. As Yang Chendong expected, it was indeed very difficult to defend. After all, it is a group of untrained civilians defending the city, all with a force of bravery, but after defending for so long, the number of casualties has been very large, especially after the 1,000 Cambodian soldiers who originally defended the city were basically killed, and there were no trained veterans on the city tower, and the situation could collapse at any time.

Ding Dingwei has climbed the tower many times to cheer everyone on. In the square in the city, the corpses were already full, and a rough calculation showed that there were more than 20,000 dead and more than 30,000 wounded. In general, the Siamese soldiers are estimated to have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in the siege of the city, which is the difference between untrained civilians and soldiers on the battlefield.

I don't know how many nights I haven't closed my eyes, and when I was too sleepy, I just squinted at a random place for a while, and felt that his spirit seemed to be about to collapse, and when anyone found him and wanted to talk to him, he had to shout loudly, otherwise, he would not be able to hear any language in his ears.

In such an atmosphere, Ding Dingwei is still holding on. He can't fall, because he is the heaven of all the people of Su Weng, if something happens to him, the hearts of the people who have been gathered with great difficulty will soon disperse, and when facing the siege of the Siamese army, I am afraid that there is no resistance at all.

A difficult day's defense was over, and when he saw the Siamese drums outside the tower stop beating and the soldiers retreated like a tide, Ding Dingwei finally couldn't help but shake his body, closed his eyes and fell to the side. A soldier who had followed him for many years was quick to hold on to his eyes, and his eyes were full of tears. Twenty days before and after

, his master has never slept properly, and he really can't imagine how he survived.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention around, he used his body as a bed with his own hands, so that Ding Dingwei fell asleep like this. Although the soldiers were also very tired, he kept insisting, and if possible, he wanted to insist on standing until dawn, just to let the master sleep well and replenish his spirits.

Reality did not allow him to do this, and suddenly there was movement in the dark under the tower. First, there was a burst of gunfire and shouting in the Siamese barracks, and soon after, a group of cavalry came to the south gate tower, where someone shouted something.

The battle situation has changed abruptly, this is no longer a small personal soldier can deal with, Ding Dingwei, who was sleeping on him, was also awakened by this shout, and suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Where am I and what is going on? But the enemy is attacking the city again? ”

"Master, there was a sudden chaos in the Siamese military camp, and then someone shouted downstairs in Nancheng, everyone didn't know what was going on." The soldiers really wanted Ding Dingwei to sleep for a while, but he knew that something happened and it could not be solved unless the master came forward.

"Then go check it out." Although Ding Dingwei was still very tired, after all, he had been squinting for more than an hour, and his spirit had recovered a little, and in line with his duty, he walked towards the south gate tower.

At this time, on the south gate of the city, there were hundreds of adult men and people standing there, they were holding torches, looking at the cavalry calling the city under the city, one by one, they were all looking at each other, but they didn't know what to do. One of them was already asking, "Did you send someone to ask for the vice governor?" ”

"Go, go, should be here soon."

I can't help but let everyone not worry, come to ride and say that they are the sixth young master, let them open the city gate immediately, and then they will help defend the city together.

To say that Yang Chendong has many names, from the first Dongshuai after arriving in Beijing, the god of war when he defeated the army of Wara when he went to defend Beijing, the loyal and courageous prince, the god of war who came later, Tian Khan until King Wunan and so on. But there is a name that is common everywhere, and that is the Sixth Young Master.

The name of the sixth young master is known to ordinary people under the rule of the Yang family, but more people only hear his name and have not seen him. Now some people say that the sixth young master is under the city, which will inevitably attract more attention from everyone, some people are excited, and some people show a look of disbelief.

At this time, Suon City is so dangerous. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I am afraid that it is too late to escape, how can such a noble person risk his life? That's why they don't want to believe it at all.

But whether they believe it or not, isn't there a Vice-Governor of Dindingway in the city? A big official like him should have seen the Sixth Young Master, so let him admit it, isn't it clear whether it's true or not?

"Young master, no, let's use explosives to open the city gate." Yang Er, who was in the cavalry team under the city, saw that a long time had passed, and the city tower still had no intention of opening, he was worried that the Siamese army that would soon be attacked would react and catch up, so he said a little anxiously.

"No." Yang Chendong denied and said: "Su Weng City has been able to defend it until now, relying on the high walls of the city.

It's been so long that we have been guarding for so long, how can we be blown away by ourselves? Still waiting. ”

Although he didn't know what was going on in the city, but just now with the torch upstairs, Yang Chendong still saw a rough idea, it looked like all men were wearing people's clothes, and with this one, he saw the difficulty of defending the city here. People even dedicate their lives here, how could he blow up the city gate just to enter the city earlier?

Yang Chendong didn't allow it, and Yang Er on the side had to hurriedly say to the captain of the second guard team on the side: "Send someone to inform Xiao Yining, let's block for a while." ”

In the blink of an eye, the time of half a pillar of incense passed, and there was a commotion in the city tower, and then a middle-aged man wearing a distinctive tunic appeared next to the torch, and Yang Chendong looked up by the light of the fire and recognized this person as the vice governor of Cambodia Province, Ding Dingwei.

"Bring the torches." In order to let the other party see himself clearly, Yang Chendong said to Yang Er on the side. Immediately, a torch was handed over, Yang Chendong personally took it in his hand, took a picture of himself first, and then shouted towards the city tower: "Vice Governor Ding, I am Yang Chendong, open the door." ”

By the light of the torch, Ding Dingwei looked at Yang Chendong squarely, and suddenly shouted, "Ah! If it's really the sixth young master, hurry, open the city gate quickly. ”

Once when the Phnom Penh Dynasty surrendered, Yang Chendong went to Phnom Penh City, and also had a drink and chatted with a group of officials there. It was at that time that Ding Dingwei saw Yang Chendong for the first time, and he couldn't forget it. Although it was dark now, he recognized it at a glance by the light of the torches.

Ding Dingwei confirmed his identity, and the city was suddenly in chaos. Half of those who can live in Suweng City are migrated from outside, and some are original natives, but no matter who it is, I don't know how many times I have heard the name of the Sixth Young Master. Who isn't excited to finally have the opportunity to meet real people, or even get up close?

Soon the south city gate was opened from the inside, and the black cavalry protected Yang Chendong inch by inch and walked into Su Weng City, behind them, three thousand Cambodian soldiers and the fifth division of the army also entered, and soon after the south city gate was closed again, everything fell into tranquility again.

The city is bustling with activity at the moment. Under the leadership of Ding Dingwei, a group of people guarding the city walked in front of the horse team, and when there was still some distance, Ding Dingwei, who was the leader, bowed his head and kept shouting, "Xiaguan has seen the sixth young master, long live the sixth young master." ”

"Long live the Sixth Young Master."

These are all a group of subjects who are accustomed to the feudal dynasty, and Yang Chendong has long been surprised by this. He rolled over and dismounted, and strode forward. This style made Yang Er and the black riders who were following on the side very nervous.

"Okay, don't follow so closely, these people have been able to defend the city so far without surrendering, which shows their loyalty, how can it harm me." Yang Chendong felt that there were black dragon guards in front of him and behind him, which was not conducive to his actions at all, so he couldn't help frowning and said.

"Young master, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens." Yang Er did not obey orders, but had his own set of rules of conduct.
