Since Yang Chendong's various resolutions for the benefit of the people came out, the people in the city have been running to tell each other, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the city. While the people cheered, many people took the initiative to stand up and express their hearts to repay their gratitude and defend the city.

After Ding Dingwei slept for two hours, he had some spirits, and he also walked out of the yamen and found Yang Chendong, representing the people in the city to ask for war.

"Okay, I agreed." Yang Chendong thought about it for a while, and then made the decision to agree with the people to defend the city. It's not that he feels sorry for Lu Wushi, but that he deliberately hides it. Even if the other party didn't see that he led troops into the city later, then use this to confuse the other party. As for the Fifth Division, it may be possible to play a key role at a critical time.

In this way, after Yang Chendong agreed, 10,000 people were selected as the first echelon to climb the city tower, and cooperated with 3,000 Cambodian soldiers to defend the city. In addition, there were 500 Leng Feng soldiers, who took off their military uniforms and changed into ordinary people's clothes to ensure that the city tower would not be breached.

Just when they were ready to help, outside the city of Suong, the siege force of 20,000 Siamese troops appeared. They guarded the four gates, and each city had 5,000 soldiers under it, and put on a posture full of key attacks.

The 6,500 defenders were divided into four towers, with a clear division of labor and high morale. They all knew that the Sixth Young Master was watching them from a short distance, and this was the opportunity to behave well.

Half an hour later, the besieging army was ready, the catapults opened the way, and the boulders came crashing in, although there was no accuracy, but the momentum was still good. Under this momentum, 20,000 Siamese troops shouted and screamed, and the siege officially began.

This is destined to be a very tragic battle to defend the city. Considering that the hole cards could not be revealed now, the muskets brought by the Leng Fifth Division did not come in handy, and a knife-to-knife, gun-to-gun, and spear-to-spear cold weapon battle began.

The shouts of killing, shouting, screaming, and denunciation reverberated over the four towers throughout the day.

On several occasions, the Siamese army rushed to the city tower with a large number of people, but then they were all slashed back by the Leng Feng soldiers of the Leng Fifth Division who were mixed with the people. Under the failure again and again, because of the existence of Yang Chendong's major decoy, the impact still did not stop, and when it was dark and had to withdraw the army, the Siamese army threw down more than 6,000 corpses, and the wounded did not know how many.

The success of defending the tower is not without paying a price. The 3,000 Cambodian soldiers and the 3,000 people in the city were killed or wounded at 2,000, and even the 500 Leng Feng soldiers were killed and wounded more than 30 people.

If you fight, you will die, which Yang Chendong had long expected, not to mention giving up the advantage of his musket. But he still endured such losses, and now all he needed was time, time to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

This waiting reinforcement refers to the 1st Cavalry Division of the World and the 1st Cavalry Division of the New First Army, totaling nearly 20,000 people.

From the moment he learned that the Siamese army had launched an attack, Yang Chendong sent a telegram to Caoyuan City, and the two divisions also left the grassland Bennuer Gandu Division area in full force on the third day after receiving the telegram, that is, Liaodu, and came to Korea.

The Joseon Provincial side also immediately prepared ships for transport, and as soon as they arrived, they set sail south, and sailed all the way at a rapid pace. Just as he was about to arrive at his destination, Ba Chi Port, the telegraph operator once again came with the news that the Sixth Young Master had taken the initiative to enter Su Weng City, and was now surrounded by 100,000 Siamese legions, and there might be danger at any time.

"Spread the word to every fighter. After the request was put ashore, everyone went full speed, and those who slacked off were killed! Tian Hu, the commander of the First Division of the World Cavalry, had a fine light in his eyes, and said in a tone that could not be questioned.

Lu Zhuo, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the New First Army, who was traveling with him, also gave the same order. For a while, the cavalry of the two divisions became extremely nervous, and they constantly checked their equipment, so that after arriving on the shore, they could rush to the city of Suweng as quickly as possible to relieve the danger of the sixth young master being besieged.

Yang Chendong was trapped in Suweng City, and when the news reached Vientiane City, Governor Luan Xiaochen and others finally couldn't sit still.

Luo Po, the commander of the Second Army Army, received more than a dozen subordinate requests for war one after another, without exception, all of them asked to lead troops to help Su Weng City. In this regard, Luo Po pressed down one by one, in front of him, the safety of Vientiane City was even more important. As for Su Weng City, he believed that the Sixth Young Master must have made arrangements a long time ago, if he left Vientiane City because he sent troops to save Su Weng City, then he would really become a sinner.

"Speed up the pace of troop transfer, no matter what the reason is, the army required within seven days must be assembled, otherwise it will be punished severely." Luan Xiaochen was rarely angry. He could understand Yang Chendong's approach, which could indeed put the attention of Siam on Su Weng City, but at the same time, it was very risky.

In the final analysis, it was due to the lack of troops, otherwise, why did the sixth young master take the risk himself? Even if Yang Chendong had put a huge Laos province into his hands before, at this critical time, he had to exert all his ability to repay his kindness.

According to Luan Xiaochen's meaning, he arranged a certain conscription task for various cities in Laos Province, and it is said that there were reserve soldiers in each city, and it was not difficult to gather the strength of the entire Lao Province, and it was not difficult to mobilize more than 3 million people just to mobilize 100,000 middle-aged men.

If you want to talk about the difficulty, it is difficult to make the time tight, the task is heavy, if you want to let these 100,000 middle-aged men abandon their homes and businesses to rush to the Mixc, how to give them some time. Now that the Sixth Young Master himself has put his life at risk, what else is there to prepare? If it weren't for the fact that the city is far and near, I'm afraid he wouldn't even give it seven days.

After the order was issued by the fast horse scouts, Luan Xiaochen began to discuss the plan to counterattack the Siamese army with Commander Luo Po, Minister Long Tienan, and General He Guang.

In Vientiane City, there are 10,000 Lao Army, Leng Feng's 2nd Army Division and 6th Army Division, adding up to about 27,000 people. It would be difficult to break through the 200,000 well-trained Siamese veterans with these forces. On the contrary, with the addition of 100,000 reserves, it will be completely different, in the meantime, the 2nd and 6th Army Divisions only need to continue to attack, and they don't have to worry about other things, and it is still possible to penetrate the enemy's army and make a huge hole to turn the tide of the battle.

"With two divisions against 200,000 people, there is pressure, but I believe that the Second and Sixth Divisions of the Army will definitely be able to do a good job." In the conference room, Commander Luo Po expressed his position directly. This time, even the sixth young master went into battle in person, and as the commander of the Second Army of the Army, he had no excuse or room to retreat.

"Okay, I will do my best to do a good job in logistics, please rest assured that the main force of Leng Feng will move forward." Luan Xiaochen immediately said.

"I will lead the troops with General He Guang to go out on the expedition, such as transporting grain, grass and ammunition, cleaning the battlefield, and taking care of prisoners, etc., and leave it to our reserve army." Long Tienan also took the initiative to stand up. This time it was just the right time, so he had to behave well, just taking the opportunity to get over the addiction of leading soldiers.

The three protagonists have assigned their own tasks, and the next thing is to manage the stall, the preparation of materials should be prepared, and the mobilization of morale should be mobilized.

In the city of Suon.

Since Yang Chendong appeared, he has guarded the city for eight days.

In these eight days, less than 1,000 of the 3,000 Cambodian troops remained, and the rest were either killed or wounded and unable to fight again; The people of Suweng City also paid the price of more than 4,000 lives and more than 5,000 wounded. Even the Leng Feng soldiers of the Fifth Army Division had more than 100 casualties before and after.

The six days of fierce defense of the city have exhausted the materials originally defended the city, and there is nothing left of the fire oil, square wood, stones, and even bows and arrows, and it has almost exhausted the reserve men in Suweng City, and more than half of the adult men have been on the city tower and participated in the battle, and the loss is not small. Although Ding Dingwei was still doing agitation work and wanted to let the other half of the men also participate in the defense of the city, he was politely rejected by Yang Chendong.

In this battle, Su Weng City paid too much. The people's participation in the army was originally voluntary, how could they be forced, and even if such people were used, they would not be of any use. And he went to the square more than once these days, and there were many corpses there, and there were many wounded, many of them were untrained civilians, just men, and forced them to go to the city tower to fight the enemy, and it was also a little too unkind.

"Sixth Young Master, now we are short of soldiers, if we don't rely on them, the Siamese army is attacking so fiercely, how can we defend the city?" Ding Dingwei can understand Yang Chendong's feelings of loving the people like a son, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still can't help but make suggestions again.

"There are five divisions of the army defending the city, and there are also my 1,000 black dragon guards, they are just ordinary people, they have not undergone any training, and most of them are just sent to death." Yang Chendong's voice was full of determination, and after he finished speaking, he waved his hand decisively, "Okay, the matter is settled, if Vice Governor Ding has a heart, you can consider organizing a reserve army and preparing to go to the battlefield to capture prisoners." ”

"Sixth Young Master, are you going to do so?" Dindingway seemed to have something in mind.

"Yes, I'm not going to defend the city, go out, draw the enemy's attention to it, disrupt their plans, or give us a few chances of victory." Yang Chendong nodded silently.

He didn't like to be beaten passively, seeing that the people in the city were almost exhausted, and if he was guarding here, it would not do much except increase the number of deaths. He didn't want to win the war, he was making a name for himself as a man who took advantage of the people of the city. Of course, more importantly, the 1st Cavalry Division of the World and the 1st Cavalry Division of the New First Army have sent telegrams that they have successfully landed at Bazhi Port and can arrive here in two or three days, which is the moment when he will counterattack with all his might.
