On November 20, outside Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, Li Laosi waved his hand, and 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army began to attack the city.

Cambodia is covered with rainforests, and the troops escorting the artillery are walking very slowly, far behind. It had been three days since the 10,000 tiger army arrived in Phnom Penh, and the siege facilities such as well railings and ladders had been prepared.

Cambodia in this era was very civilized. This is a country that does not border with the Ming Dynasty, and cannot get the culture and technology of Middle-earth, and the Western colonizers have not yet affected this country, so the overall technology and culture of Cambodia are very backward.

Not only is it backward, but it has not made progress for hundreds of years or thousands of years.

The most direct reflection is that Phnom Penh City is very small and looks like a county seat in Daming. The crooked city walls make one wonder if this is a capital city at all.

In fact, not only is Phnom Penh a small city, but there are not many people in the whole of Cambodia.

There were several small cannons on the walls of Phnom Penh, but Li Laosi estimated that the range of those earthen cannons was not as long as that of the Tiger Ben Army.

The soldiers of the Tiger Army shouted loudly, and hundreds of well-railing carts above the city wall were pushed towards the city wall. The well-mounted cart was full of Tiger soldiers holding sniper rifles. The well fence finally stopped four hundred meters outside the city wall, and the tiger soldiers using sniper rifles began to shoot fiercely at the soldiers at the head of the city.

"Bang Bang!"

"Smack!"

The battlefield was suddenly dominated by the sound of gunfire one after another. The Cambodian artillerymen who operated the earthen artillery were killed in the first place. At the head of the city were spears and bows and arrows, and the native soldiers did not know how many had been killed, and the still alive were huddled behind the battlement wall and did not dare to look up.

After killing the artillerymen, the well fence continued to press towards the city wall, further suppressing the defenders at the head of the city.

The tiger army under the well fence raised the ladder and set it up to the wall of Phnom Penh.

The Cambodian native soldiers on the city wall were so pressed by the riflemen on the well fence that they did not dare to raise their heads, and they could not stop the siege of the ladder soldiers at all.

The Tiger soldiers on the ladder grabbed grenades and climbed to the edge of the city wall and stopped. They lit the fuses on the grenades with tinder and threw them at the city one by one.

Immediately the castle exploded like a fireworks display. Huge flames burst out one by one, and steel slag from the grenades flew like knives across the city walls, cutting the largely armless Cambodian soldiers to pieces.

After the three grenades of the soldiers in front were blown up, the soldiers in the back passed more grenades. More than a thousand ladders constantly caused a series of explosions on the city walls.

Where have Cambodian soldiers seen such firepower? After being hit by that grenade, the skin and flesh were cut open, and the hands and feet were cut off or even blown up alive. After being wounded and killing thousands of people, the Cambodian soldiers screamed, threw down their weapons in disarray, and fled towards the city.

After a few thousand grenades were blown up, there was basically no one left on the city walls.

The soldiers of the Tiger Army confirmed that there was no one at the head of the city, and then climbed the city wall. On the city walls, the soldiers moved quickly to occupy all the gates and arrow towers, and pointed their rifles at the palace of the King of Cambodia in the city.

The gates of the city were opened, and the soldiers stormed Phnom Penh with weapons. Start street by street to see if anyone is resisting.

Where did the people of Phnom Penh dare to resist? One by one, they fell to their knees.

Li Laosi stood outside the city, thinking about how to storm the king's palace with the least casualties. He was pondering when he saw a battalion commander running out of the city with two soldiers.

"Uncle, the door of the Cambodian royal palace is wide open, and King Sharona has led hundreds of officials to kneel down!"

Li Laosi smiled, and secretly said that this king is still a good acquaintance, and he has avoided the pain of the Tiger Ben army attacking the city.

Li Laosi waved his hand and said, "Enter the city and receive Phnom Penh City." ”

With a hundred guards, Li Laosi rode into Phnom Penh City. Straight ahead, he soon rode into the royal palace of Cambodia.

The king of Cambodia was an elderly man in his fifties, with a white beard and a slender figure like the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. He was wearing a golden coiled dragon clothes, and he knelt behind the palace gate like the gate of the county government at this time, with a gray look on his face.

The king was holding a Cambodian heirloom silk ribbon, and Li Laosi asked people to take a look at it, and found that the seal was similar to China's heirloom jade seal, which was also made of jade. There are several rows of small characters written on the jade seal in Cambodian script, and the text is alphabetical, which looks like Western characters, and Li Laosi can't understand it.

Li Laosi rode into the small palace, walked into the main hall, and looked at the center of Cambodian power.

The main hall is a multi-pillar building, probably influenced by Indian culture, and looks a bit of a Western culture, but the roof is oriental. There are many utensils made of gold in the temple, which look like gold. Even the throne in the middle is carved with gold and silver, and it sparkles.

Li Laosi didn't dare to sit on the throne casually, Li Laosi asked people to move the throne away, put an ordinary chair in the original position of the throne, and then sat down.

The king of Cambodia and the ministers knelt in the hall and prostrated in front of Li Laosi.

Li Laosi looked at the surrounding furnishings and asked, "King Sharona of Cambodia, how many people does your country have?" ”

The interpreter hired by Li Laosi translated Li Laosi's question, and Sharona fell to the ground and said: "General of the Celestial Empire, I Cambodia administers various places with officials. Officials are highly independent and only need to pay taxes to the royal court, so I don't know exactly how many people there are! ”

Li Laosi said: "Then you can roughly estimate how many people there are." ”

The King of Cambodia turned around, discussed with the minister behind him, and finally turned to him and said, "It is estimated that there are 900,000 people. ”

Hearing Sherona's words, Li Laosi shook his head and smiled.

Cambodia at this time had not yet been invaded by Vietnam, and had the Mekong Delta, which was much larger than that of later Cambodia, and was as large as two Shandong provinces. But such a large country, with a population of less than one million, is really backward.

By immigrating a little from Jianghuai Province to reclaim the rainforest, the prince can turn the local indigenous people into ethnic minorities.

Li Laosi stood up and walked a few steps in the hall and said, "Sharana, if you surrendered early, we would have spared you. However, you were not willing to perish, and sent many Cambodian soldiers to ambush our Tiger Army in the rainforest, causing more than 200 casualties. ”

"This blood debt is here, your life can't be saved!"

When the Cambodian king on the ground heard this, his body went limp, and he fell to the floor.

Li Laosi said lightly: "More than a hundred blood debts are here, I won't kill more, just kill you and all your sons and grandsons." The rest of the royal family is not guilty of the past and can live an ordinary life as commoners. ”
