Chapter 1039: The Chief Commander Arrives in Person

If you don't open the city gate, you will just lose more than 10,000 people, and once the city gate is opened, the main army will be in danger. Relying on the defense of the city, plus the fifty artillery pieces that were transported, it may not be impossible to inflict heavy losses on the main force of the Five-Star Army under the city.

General Godan is very ambitious, and this time he wants to slap a five-star army in the face with practical actions, telling them that the Siamese army is not like the previous Canglan army or Phnom Penh army, but they are very combative.

Again, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, just when Godan was still waiting for the enemy to approach the city, he used artillery to destroy an enemy, the five-star army five miles away from the city gate did not move, and then they set up the frame, took out their 100mm mortars, and began to adjust the ruler, aiming at the tower.

Condescendingly looking far away, seeing that the five-star army was five miles away and stopped advancing, Godan was very puzzled and couldn't understand what tricks this was playing. He didn't have to wait too long, the truth told him the truth, and Commander Luo Po ordered the cannon to be fired.

It is enough to shoot a mortar thirteen miles away, and take the city of Udon as a target, which is five miles away, just like playing, a total of forty artillery pieces attacked like a goddess scattering flowers, and fell on the top of the city tower, attracting blood flowers one by one.

Godan, who was still waiting for the enemy to approach, did not expect the enemy to open fire at such a distance, and the artillery in his hand could only shoot more than a thousand meters away, which made him involuntarily limit his gaze. Then in the sound of shells, he was swept to the ground by the air wave.

Fortunately, the pro-[gang xs.xyz sters] soldiers around him were very dutiful, and they threw General Godan to the ground first, and at the cost of one dead, one seriously injured, and two lightly injured, Godan was safe and sound, but his ears were temporarily deaf.

Not only Godan, but also the Siamese defenders on the city tower all appeared to be silent at this moment, and no sound from the outside world could be heard except for the humming. After a burst of artillery bombardment, the 2nd Army Division and the 6th Army Division began to rush forward, for the cold front soldiers who usually need to train at least three 55 kilometers a day, the distance of 2,500 meters is really not a thing, they took advantage of the cover of artillery fire, came to the city, came to the city gate has been bombed under the city, and then a burst of 95-style squad with guns to open the way, easily into the city.

On the top of the tower, the fifty cannons that had been transported to the north tower with great effort had long been turned into a pile of scrap metal, and beside them, there were nearly a thousand corpses of the Siamese army, and even other survivors, including General Godan, had already fled downstairs at this moment.

To paraphrase a word, it's not that the buddy is too incompetent, it's that the opponent is too powerful.

Faced with the 2nd and 6th Army Divisions, which were all equipped with firearms, the Siamese Army, which was defenseless and even lacked understanding of them, suffered a big loss in the first battle, and the 200,000 Siamese Army was like a sea fish that pierced through the sea.

Or that the potential of people is infinite, in the mentality of saving their lives, the speed of the retreat of these Siamese troops is so fast that it is difficult for the five-star army to catch up, except for catching up with a small part, the main force of the army really fled south.

The first battle was victorious, a total of 30,000 Siamese troops were killed and captured, and the city of Udon Thani was handed over to the Lao army that came behind him.

The news of the defeat on the battlefield in the north soon spread back to the royal capital Bangkok City, and in the palace hall, the king Yi Liqi showed an unbelievable face, and asked a very idiotic sentence in front of the civil and military officials, "What is the Five Star Army going to do?" Do you still want to deal with the Lancang and Phnom Penh kingdoms, and you can't destroy our Siamese kingdom? ”

Proud people will always magnify their own strengths for no reason, but also magnify the shortcomings of their enemies. In the eyes of Yi Liqi, Siam is a strong army in the world, perhaps a little worse than the five-star army, but they also have their own advantages, how can they be bullied casually?

Yiliqi's shout attracted a burst of discussion in the main hall, and then Xiangguo Hamod stood up, "Your Majesty, the five-star army is menacing, looking at the situation between Lancang and Phnom Penh, we must be ready for a national war." ”

"Yes, just fight, who will be afraid?" Siam has just entered the Ayutthaya era, and in comparison, the politics are clear, the whole people are united, and the strength is not weak, which is also the essence of Yiliqi.

Before the war, Eliqi brought in Hamod and several other important ministers, and after unanimous discussion, they believed that with the strength of the five-star army, they could not eat the huge Siamese country. In other words, even if the battle is lost, it is a big deal that they bow their heads and give some compensation, and the possibility of destroying the country is still very small. It is precisely with this that Eliqi agreed to send troops, wanting to take the five-star army by surprise, take advantage of it, and reshuffle the cards in Southeast Asia.

Now it seems that the early days did play a certain role, and even surrounded Yang Chendong with troops, at that time, the victory was so close. It's a pity that Tong Si didn't take advantage of this opportunity and ultimately missed out on victory.

Even if you can't win, now you are thinking about how to be invincible. Considering the plan prepared before the war, Xiangguo Hamod continued to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister requests to send a message to the Five Star Army to negotiate, please give permission. ”

"That's right." Yi Liqi had to nod and agree, unless he was ready to fight the Five Star Army to the end, otherwise, he could only negotiate and use this way to calm the war.

Under the cold permission of King Yiliqi, the royal capital of Bangkok once again gathered 200,000 troops for battle, ready to support various battlefields at any time, and at the same time sent a message to the Five-Star Army, expressing the intention of peace talks.

The so-called peace talks are often fought out. Harmony and fighting, fighting and everything in harmony and harmony will have a final result, and finally make a scene of great joy.

After the Siamese army lost the first hand, the news that it was going to prepare for peace talks came, and Yang Chendong, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, who was coming to Siam with a large army, laughed when he heard it. All this was expected by him, and he even sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs one step earlier, asking them to send someone to come.

"Peace talks? Killed so many of our brothers, and when our reinforcements arrived, they were afraid? Want to make peace? Where in the world is such a cheap thing. Yang Er, who was following along, muttered in his mouth, expressing his resentment.

Yang Er's opinion was in Yang Chendong's ears, which made him speechless. In this battle, more than 200 Black Cavalry Dragon Guards and more than 4,000 Leng Feng soldiers of the 5th Army Division were killed, and it can be said that they suffered heavy losses. But in comparison, what benefits did the Siamese army get? The number of prisoners and killed has exceeded 120,000, which is already 30 times the proportion of battle losses.

It's just that then again, how important the lives of the soldiers of the Five-Star Army are, and how can they be comparable to the Siamese Army of different races, from this point of view, Yang Erzhi's words are not at fault. "Yes, it is impossible to get this matter through peace talks, and this time we are going to settle the Siamese country."

Yang Chendong's attitude was very resolute, and Yang Er's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard it. But then Yang Chendong's words made Yang Er a little puzzled, "But as far as we know, Siam prepared a full 800,000 army before this battle, and the current number of people we have eliminated is about 200,000, at least 600,000 people, Yang Er, tell me, with our current strength, can we eat them?" ”

"Yes, 600,000 is counted..."Only half of the words were spoken, and Yang Er was silent. This is 600,000, not 60,000, the total number of the five-star army and the three-way army, even if you add the mediocre strength, it is only 150,000 or 60,000 people, even if you want to destroy the opponent, you are still dividing the troops to garrison the occupied city, which is indeed lacking in strength.

Yang Er stopped talking, and Yang Chendong didn't mean to ask more, but looked thoughtfully in the direction of Siam, and a bold plan was formed in his mind again. This plan can be expressed in a very abbreviated word, which is only four words - battlefield training.

A soldier who has not been on the battlefield cannot be considered a true soldier after all, and there is nothing wrong with this for ordinary soldiers. After a few battles, Yang Chendong has already seen his disadvantage, that is, the troops are too small, and they are so weak to deal with a Siamese army, if they are forced to fight with a larger force in the future, won't they encounter the same embarrassment?

In the future, it is necessary for him to prepare for a large-scale military training, so how to build a decent army in a short period of time, the strength cannot be said to be on par with Leng Feng, but at least it must meet the requirements of the B-level troops. Thinking about it, only battlefield training is a good idea, with the 600,000 army of Siam as a whetstone, Yang Chendong wants to see how many suitable B-level troops can be trained.

In order to achieve this goal, more local battles are needed, that is to say, how to fight with the Siamese army without stopping, and how to make them not angry and dispatch a large army, has become the top priority, and if you think about it, it seems that talking while fighting is the best way, so he is so optimistic and expected about the next negotiations between the two sides.

Without Yang Chendong waiting too much, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came, and it was their minister Ma Dali who came.

Yang Chendong was somewhat surprised by Ma Dali's personal arrival. This is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who stayed in the Red City to preside over the overall situation, how could he come out so easily?

Facing the obvious doubt in Yang Chendong's eyes, Ma Dali smiled bitterly and said, "Sixth Young Master, for the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the biggest thing is the Siam War, so I came in person." ”
