393 Battle of Thonburi (9)

Rama I's generals looked left and right, or bowed their heads and remained silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Phraya Suria is the nephew of Rama I, and he is also a trusted general, and his ability is also good, but now he can't even lead the troops to win, if he takes this responsibility, it will naturally be glorious to win, but if he loses, he will obviously be taken away by Rama I. Therefore, for a while, no one dared to answer and went out to lead the army.

Looking at the appearance of his subordinates with bear bags, Rama I was angry, and reprimanded: "Each of you says that you are brave and good at fighting, and you are the most powerful general, but when it comes to the critical time, you only have fear in the face of the enemy, and you have no courage at all, which is really sad and shameful." ”

In the end, it was the Phraya Suri faction who stepped forward and said, "Uncle, please give me another chance, as long as I give me another 20,000 troops, I promise to be able to break through the Tang army's defenses and attack Thonburi City!" ”

Rama I had no other candidates, so he still chose the Phraya Surian faction, after all, his nephew was indeed the most courageous general under his command, at least no one dared to fight now, and he was the only one.

In addition, there are too many corpses on the battlefield at this time, and it is easy for plagues to break out if they are not handled well in the tropical environment, and the Tang army obviously will not go out of the city to dispose of the corpses, they are too few in number. Some of the soldiers in Rama I's army, some of whom were related to the fallen soldiers, wanted to bring back the bodies of their relatives and friends, so they begged Rama I. Rama I sent men unarmed to the city to collect the corpses. After sending someone to greet Tang Jun, they also took back the body. However, the Tang army did not relax at all, worried about what the Siamese army was doing, and all the marines still stood at the head of the city and monitored the situation.

The collection of thousands of corpses was not a simple matter, and because the Tang army used a large number of heavy machine guns and artillery, some of the corpses were mutilated. The Siamese were also unsure of who the stumps belonged to. When thousands of corpses were brought back to the Siamese army camp, a wave of fear was created. Although they resented the Tang people, they were still full of fear for the Tang army, which could easily annihilate so many Siamese troops.

Rama I originally wanted to bring back the corpses of the fallen in battle, as a result of the king's wishes, and at the same time hoped to arouse the anger of his own army against the Tang people. It increased morale, but unexpectedly it was self-defeating, and the Siamese army had a small-scale escape without permission. Because the soldiers have been given an account by the nervous Phraya Surian faction, they will still attack Thonburi City in the future. His Excellency the General hoped that they would be full of courage and not afraid of sacrifice, and that victory would eventually belong to Siam.

However, this is also equivalent to a direct admission that in such a bloody war, the nobles and generals still hope that they will continue to participate and do not capture Thonburi. Nearly 10,000 casualties have already been paid, and if Thonburi City is really defeated, I don't know how many people will die. Those generals basically didn't dare to charge ahead, so they must have died. There is a saying that other people's children can't die, and that's it.

The chances of dying in the battle with the Siamese army were too high, so many people deserted in the middle of the night, and this operation is sure to become more and more rampant. This forced Rama I and the Phayasurian faction to decide to organize such an attack as soon as possible.

The Phaya Suria faction knew that the guns of the Tang army were powerful. They hoped to be able to provide some defense for their siege troops, but the Siamese armor was not bulletproof. They couldn't make anything that could resist bullets for a while. The Phaya Surian faction came up with the idea of using elephants as bunkers. However, after the elephant is shot, it will obviously flee for its life, and if the elephant runs around on the battlefield, it is more likely to turn the Siamese army upside down.

The flowers bloom on two flowers, one on each branch, and there is no mention of how the Phraya Surian faction made a plan to attack the city. On the other hand, Datang is also actively preparing for the war.

Chang Bin was not unpredictable about the onslaught of the Siamese army, and although the bloodiness of the battle was amazing, the Tang army must also hold on. Therefore, on the one hand, Chang Bin maintained the defense, and on the other hand, urged the Yamato Corps, which had already set sail, to hurry over. Support the operations of the Don Army. This batch of Yamato Corps had a total of two brigades and 10,000 men, which was enough to fight the Siamese army head-on on the battlefield. In this way, Chang Bin has more tactical options, rather than simply sticking to Thonburi.

The night was dark and windy, and some figures crept out of the gaps in the walls. They dodged the searchlights from the city walls and operated in the shadows.

Wang Tao carried a large marching bag on his back, led the team, calculated the speed of the searchlight on the city wall in his heart, and then continued to move forward.

Yang Youguang, who was behind him, muttered in a low voice: "What an idiot, our own searchlight, we still have to hide." If you want to avoid being discovered, just turn it off. ”

Zhou Junbao pushed him and whispered: "Don't talk too much, if you turn off the searchlight, you will definitely be discovered by the enemy, maybe they will think that something is wrong on our side, and even launch some military action." ”

Wang Tao glanced back and said, "You two don't talk, shut up and do things." ”

Yang Youguang and Zhou Junbao were immediately silenced.

Luo Teng looked at the two of them, smiled, walked to a position, untied the backpack on his back, then took out a mine from it, shoveled out a small pit with a sapper shovel, carefully and quickly buried the mine into the pit, and then buried the soil and filled it up. After doing all this, Wang Tao scratched a fork on a picture in his hand.

Now the SEALs are carrying out the task of laying mines, and according to the observation of the Tang Army, the Siamese Army is not discouraged, but is planning a larger offensive. The Tang army also knew that Thonburi's defense was not invulnerable. If the enemy really fills it with human lives, it may be able to enter Thonburi City. Of course, breaking in and taking are two different things.

Chang Bin not only readjusted the firing points on the city wall according to the actual situation, but also issued more grenades to the soldiers on the city wall for short-range throwing. At the same time, Chang Bin also asked the SEALs to secretly lay a large number of mines on the vast battlefield at night to effectively stop the enemy's charge.

The Tang army began to lay anti-infantry mines in a wide area of thousands of meters above the city walls. Since the Tang army has long been on the side of offensive operations, it rarely uses weapons with defensive characteristics such as mines on the battlefield. However, the mines of the Tang army are still very powerful.

In fact, if Chang Bin didn't have it in his hands, he would even want to use poison gas bombs when facing a large number of enemies. (To be continued.) )
