447 canceled counterattack
Rong has become a bloody city so far, and Ceylon's troops have lost 80% of the entire city, but they are still stuck in a corner, fighting to the death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, Rong City has never been completely surrounded, and Ceylonese troops have been reinforcing this seemingly unimportant place.
It's a pity that this time it was completely changed after another thing happened - Miao Shengye has been staring at Rong City, but Sima Mingwei has gained a great advantage in another direction.
In one day, the army of the Ming Empire captured the Luang Prabang and surrounded the vital transportation hub of Sala Fukun!
Capture Sala Fukun, which means that the army of the Ming Empire can take an offensive against the important southeast peninsula city of Vientiane!
This is not news that can be ignored, in the battle plan to stubbornly defend the line between Beishan and Rongshi, Vientiane is another city that must be protected.
If Rong and Vientiane were attacked at the same time, then there would be no need for Beishan to hold on any longer - this would be equivalent to losing another line of defense for Ceylon!
If this line of defense is lost again, then there will be no terrain behind it that can be used as a barrier. The troops of the Ming Empire entered the plain area on the southeast peninsula......
"Sima Mingwei! That old immortal bastard! Miao Shengye looked at the telegram sent in his hand, and gritted his teeth and hated. He could keep an eye on a Wang Jue, but he really couldn't be distracted to target Sima Mingwei on the other side.
At the same time, Ceylon's forces did not allow him to prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy in two regions at the same time. So, although the British fleet had reached the Indian Ocean, it seemed that time was even more unfavorable for Ceylon.
If he wants to completely stabilize the battle situation on the Southeast Peninsula, Miao Shengye needs to win a counterattack on the Southeast Peninsula first, and annihilate the living forces of the Ming Empire with a decisive battle.
Moreover, this annihilation is not a little annihilation, but a war of encirclement and annihilation of hundreds of thousands. Only in this way can the situation of the Ming Empire advancing in two ways be completely broken.
"Sir! If Sala Fukun loses again, our defense line on the periphery of Vientiane may collapse. The officer standing behind Miao Shengye opened his mouth and said to Miao Shengye.
"Of course I know, but I am going to use Rong City as a bait to lure Wang Jue to fight me on the outskirts of Rong City, and the deployment has just been completed, do I have to transfer troops to the east?" Miao Shengye said a little unwillingly.
"Speaker, isn't Vientiane as good as Rong City, which has become a ruin?" The officer thought for a moment and continued to persuade.
His words made Miao Shengye fall into deep thought, he didn't know why he insisted on defeating Wang Jue near Rong City, because he had already made this decision at sea, before he reached the Southeast Peninsula.
The competitive mentality has never disappeared in him, and even a few minutes ago, he was still thinking about using a victory to prove that he was stronger than Wang Jue.
However, after being reminded by his subordinates, he suddenly realized that this was not the time to risk himself to prove himself, but a war that would decide the fate of the country.
Thinking of this, he patted his subordinates on the shoulders with his hand and said in agreement: "Yes! Giving up Rongshi is just a few steps back......"
Then he set his eyes on the location of Vientiane on the map: "But if you lose Vientiane, and then lose Rongshi, you will lose the war!" ”
At this time, in the bunker in Rong City, Shen Ruyu was still drinking his spirits. He no longer cares so much about the outcome of this war, and now he cares about his own death!
What he has been looking forward to is to be able to drink to death on the soft bed and close his eyes before the army of the Ming Empire rushes up to kill him!
For him, that was a relief. Ignoring the shells falling above his head and the dust falling in front of him, he drank one bite at a time, drunk.
However, in Rong City, the Ceylon generals and officers who really commanded the battle were not equally drunk, and they were asking for support again and again, hoping to get more soldiers.
"Hell! Another regiment of soldiers is almost exhausted, and here is simply a meat grinder! An officer looked at the report and grumbled gloomily.
The reinforcements he begged for were killed in a short period of time because of the brutal offensive and defensive battles. The battle was still going on, and it made him feel desperate.
"Send a telegram immediately! Request support! Request support! He shouted to the officer in charge of liaison, his voice shaky and hoarse.
Faced with the battle situation in front of him, he knew that he had lost his control, and this offensive and defensive battle was no longer enough to be described as tragic.
If he doesn't get more reinforcements within a few hours, Rong City will almost be lost. Rong City is lost, and as one of the people in charge, he must also be a dead word.
"Sir! Sir! I don't know what's wrong! The officer in charge of liaison looked at the telegram in his hand like a demented look, not knowing what to do.
The Ceylon officer, who commanded the battle instead of Shen Ruyu, took the telegram, and at first glance, he was equally at a loss and stood on the spot.
"The password is mistranslated? Just go! Recheck! Send another message requesting support now! Fast! He shouted desperately, hysterically.
I really don't blame him for being so out of shape, but because the telegram from the general headquarters that has just arrived reads: The plan to reinforce Rong City is stopped, and the troops in Rong City are fighting bravely until the last moment, and they must not take a step back!
For the Ceylon defenders defending Vinh, this was tantamount to a death sentence. That's why the commander who saw the message was so out of shape.
Unfortunately, the same message was sent again, leaving everyone speechless in despair - the command really ordered them to hold on until the last moment.
"Why! Why did you just give up on us? Why did you just give up? The Ceylon commander, who was at a loss, repeated this sentence and looked at the office in the distance.
Inside, there is a man who has been drinking, maybe in the entire Rong City, only the man named Shen Ruyu is doing the right thing, right?
A few hours later, Shen Ruyu died drunk in bed, Rong City was occupied by the 4th Army of the Ming Empire under the command of Wang Yan, and the expected Ceylon counterattack finally did not happen, and the two places around Rong City Deshou and Ha Jing also became the spoils of the Ming Empire that day.
