Chapter 1028: Cannon to Cannon
Listening to Yang Chendong's answer, Ding Dingwei couldn't help but burst into tears, and then shook his head and said, "No! Sixth Young Master, staying in the city at least has a strong city to defend, but once you rush out, you will really be surrounded at any time, and you will fall into an isolated and helpless situation at any time, which is too dangerous. ”
"Danger? Where is there no danger in the war, rest assured, this young master knows it. You can feel Ding Dingwei's heartfelt concern, Yang Chendong patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "The matter is decided like this, you should do a good job of organizing people to clean up the battlefield." ”
Yang Chendong was determined to leave, and called Xiao Yining, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Army, "Commander Xiao, the most severe struggle has come, I don't know if you have the confidence to confront the Siamese army in the open land for three days, remember, there may not be any reinforcements within three days, and no one will give us additional ammunition." ”
"Sixth Young Master, I promise to complete the task." Xiao Yining saluted a very standard military salute and said confidently.
This time, the 5th Army Division came to help urgently, and in order to pursue speed, many divisional and regimental heavy weapons did not bring with them, and even the ammunition was not very much, which was where their shortcomings lie. But even if it was the task that Yang Chendong requested, even if they used up all the bullets and scrapped all the swords, in the end, they had to fight with the enemy until the last moment with their teeth and grasp with their hands, and complete the task of guarding for three days.
"Okay, then you go down and get ready. By the way, there is still some ammunition in the warehouse of the Yang Family Bank in the city, which you can use to equip the troops. Yang Chendong said encouragingly. As for the ammunition in the bank, there was no one originally, and it was all temporarily taken out of the warehouse. It's just a small amount of ammunition that can get you by, but if you prepare too much, you can't hide it even if you want to. Even so, the manager of Yangjia Bank in Suweng City still looked confused. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any ammunition stored in the depths of the warehouse.
Xiao Yining happily led people to get ammunition, in Yang Chendong's opinion, with the help of these ammunition, in the face of the cold weapon army with swords, guns, swords and sticks, there would be no problem in guarding for three days. But he didn't know that this time he was not facing a Siamese army of less than 100,000, but a Siamese main force of more than 200,000.
Since Da Tongsi saw Yang Chendong appear in Suweng City with his own eyes, he sent the news back, and then he used his authority to continuously mobilize all the Siamese troops in the city behind him. As soon as the news entered Bangkok, the capital of Siam, the king quickly mobilized an army of 150,000 and rushed in the direction of Suweng, accompanied by 50 artillery pieces.
These cannons were originally used to attack Phnom Penh, but because they were too heavy, the transportation was delayed for some time, and even today, all the artillery has arrived, and the first 20,000 cavalry are also in place.
After six days of siege, coupled with the previous losses, Tongsi's 100,000 troops were killed and nearly 10,000 wounded, and there were still 80,000 left. But with his continuous transfer of troops, he gathered another 30,000 troops, and now with the 20,000 cavalry that had just arrived, the total strength had reached 130,000.
Not only that, according to the news brought by the arrival of the cavalry, in the next two days, 130,000 reinforcements will arrive one after another, which is equivalent to more than 200,000 troops before and after, which is very close to the number of people in Suweng City.
With sufficient soldiers, artillery and cavalry to help, Tong Si's heart was full of confidence at this moment, and he was ready to attack the city with all his might tomorrow. He wants to press the main army tomorrow and strive for a decisive victory.
Tong Si didn't know that Yang Chendong was ready to leave the city to fight, and Yang Chendong also didn't know the fact that the other party had arrived with reinforcements and that there were fifty more artillery pieces. This directly led to frequent accidents and vicious battles in the following battles.
Tong Si is preparing to launch a full-scale attack at dawn tomorrow, and Yang Chendong's preparation is to burst out of the city in the middle of the night, this kind of inadvertently hit a time difference, and finally has to keep the existence of Su Weng City, in a sense, it can be regarded as a victory.
It was already dark, and the Fifth Division of Lu and the 1,000 Black Dragon Guards who were about to go out of the city with Yang Chendong were also making various preparations. But just as they were about to leave the city, Generals Dindingway and Dahn lined up on both sides of the road with all the people of the city to see them off.
In order to keep Su Weng City, the sixth young master decided to go out of the city to lure the enemy, and the news of the people was moved, and they traveled independently to express their gratitude as an ordinary person.
"Huh." Yang Chendong, who was already wearing a golden cloak, rode on top of the white dragon and looked at the people who saw them off with a smile. He could understand the mood of the people at this moment, but he didn't know what to say except for saying that he should go back.
He entered the city alone, led to the target, and did not hesitate to take risks.
It also took the opportunity to protect the surrounding city from attack, which is really true.
But all this was achieved at the expense of the lives of the people of Suweng. In a way, he was sorry for the people here. But they still sent it with gratitude, so what else could he say?
It was only when he saw Ding Dingwei and Dahn that he said a few more words, "I will make a name for myself when I go out this time, and it is said that the Siamese army will not be besieging the city." But you can't be careless, the city gates must be closed, when you see the red flare rushing into the sky, when can you get out of the city, understand? ”
"Sixth Young Master, don't worry, we have all written it down, but you must be careful when you go." Both Dindingway and Dahn spoke almost with tears in their eyes.
"Don't worry, my Fifth Division is here, and there is a black dragon guard, and others can't hurt Young Master Ben, hahaha." Yang Chendong's laughter was still echoing in mid-air, and these words also made the Black Rider Dragon Guards and the soldiers of the Fifth Division of the Army who followed left and right feel honored. They will definitely not let anyone hurt a single hair of the Sixth Young Master, this is their task and mission, and in order to complete this task, they will not hesitate to give all their lives.
The laughter was still flying in mid-air, and the southern gate of Su Weng had been opened, and then the Black Rider Dragon Guard was the first to rush out, followed by the soldiers of the Fifth Division. After that, the city gate fell, and the gate was closed, cutting off all of Yang Chendong's retreat.
The Black Dragon Guard suddenly came out of the city and launched a fierce attack on the camp of the Siamese army guarding the city, and for a time the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was endless.
The main tent of Siam, Tong Si was lying in his clothes, and he was awakened by the sound of shouting and killing just after falling asleep, and then there were men who reported that someone in the city of Su Weng had broken through, led by a group of cavalry. After hearing the news, Tong Si said loudly while wearing his battle armor: "It must be Yang Chendong who wants to break through, hum!" If you want to escape at this time, is it too late? Ordered the other gates to hold on to prevent the other side from diverting the tiger from the mountain, ordered 20,000 cavalry to dispatch, ordered the artillery to fire in that direction, ordered 50,000 mobile troops to be ready, and set off with the general in half an hour. ”
"General, fire now, there are still many of our brothers outside the South City Gate." When the herald heard this, he couldn't help but panic.
"No matter what, if you lose some people, it is cost-effective to kill Yang Chendong, just follow this order." Tong Si said without the slightest hesitation. At this moment, he only has the goal of killing Yang Chendong in his eyes, and in order to complete this goal, other people and things are sacrificial existences.
Outside the southern city gate, the Black Dragon Guards took the lead in the enemy camp and launched a frantic attack in the face of the five thousand Siamese troops blocking the place. With the knife in hand, a Siamese soldier was cut to the ground, and corpses were lined up on the ground, exuding a bloody aura.
The Black Dragon Guard is brave, and the five thousand Siamese troops are not their generals at all, and soon all of them fled without a trace except for those who were killed. Yang Chendong, who was riding on a horse and also killed several enemies in a row, smiled, and then ordered the Lu Fifth Division, which followed, to leave here immediately and head towards the barren mountains in the southwest.
After Yang Chendong defeated the enemy, even if he left the battlefield with a thousand black cavalry dragon guards, they left with the main forces such as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and battalions directly under the 5th Army Division, and only the 4th Regiment remained behind, responsible for breaking the rear.
And the accident appeared on the body of the fourth regiment. Ru Kai, the commander of the fourth regiment, walked at the end according to the previous plan, ensuring the safety of the army.
The team was not too anxious to walk, Ru Kai's face did not see how anxious, with the musket in his hand he was confident that even if he encountered the enemy's pursuit, he would not be afraid, and as long as he could block it for a while, an effective defensive formation would be formed on the barren mountain more than ten miles away from the city, and he would be absolutely safe when he ran over.
Rukai is confident, but he has forgotten one thing, or he has neglected one thing, and that is what if the other party also has a firearm?
In fact, this is not only Ru Kai, but a common problem committed by most Leng Feng officers and soldiers. They are accustomed to fighting enemies who do not have firearms, and over time, a subconscious naturally develops, as if other opponents other than them do not have firearms and will not use firearms.
This is what happened in this bad habit. Just as the four regiments were moving unhurriedly in the direction of the barren mountain, suddenly the rumbling cannon sound suddenly sounded. When he first heard the sound of the artillery, Ru Kai even had the illusion that this artillery should be on his own side, and when the cannon sounded, it should not be his own attack.
It was this kind of thinking that took the lead, so that he did not lie on the ground at the first time, nor did he make any defensive moves at the first time. Such a cannonball happened to fall more than a foot beside him, and then the steel ball in the cannonball hit him in the chest and abdomen, and the pain hit, and Ru Kai almost fainted in pain.
