The reality is often unsatisfactory, and Zhang Chengye and they did not get the opportunity to fight and help in the end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Indians from Chiang Mai did come, but not a company as expected, but a whole reinforced battalion.

This reinforced battalion was a direct unit of Sir Lauren Milne, the kind that had fought in the World War, and like the Lanfang Foreign Legion, the backbone and officers of the army were almost entirely British.

Compared with the ordinary Indian army, this reinforced battalion is still quite combat-effective, even if it is not as good as Zhang Chengye's people, it is not much worse, the key is that the number gap between the two sides is huge, Zhang Chengye has only a few dozen people on his side, and a reinforced battalion has more than 1,000 people, and one person can drown Zhang Chengye and them all with a mouthful of foam.

"It would be nice if we had more people, if the army just now, if it was eaten in one go, it would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the British." On the way back to the base, Xu Zhongqing was still a little unwilling.

When the Xu family evacuated Chiang Mai, Xu Ziting ruthlessly sold his property, and most of the money from the sale was donated to Zhang Chengye, and he left his son by Zhang Chengye's side to act as a guide, which was a desperate refuge.

Lan Fang didn't treat Xu Ziting badly, although Xu Ziting didn't have much money to sell his property, but he still understood the truth of buying horse bones for a daughter, so Xu Ziting was named a viscount by Lan Fang as soon as he entered Laos. So now Xu Zhongqing, the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Xu family, is also considered to be a meritorious service, and he will inherit the title in the future, and he also has an identity and status in Lanfang, so he can't talk to Zhang Chengye, who is a baron.

Although it seems that Xu Ziting, a third-class viscount, is one level higher than Zhang Chengye, a first-class baron, it is actually different, Zhang Chengye was knighted for military merits, so Zhang Chengye's baronial title is not reduced when it is inherited, that is to say, Zhang Chengye's son will still be a first-class baron in the future; And Xu Ziting is a civil lord, this title is to be reduced when inheriting, if Xu Zhongqing does not make a big contribution in the future, then when inheriting the title, he can only inherit the first-class man, and when he reaches his grandchildren, he will become a second-class man, and the last three generations will be unknown.

"Stupid, there are more than 1,000 people, and they still have cannons, how many people do you want to fight? If you really eat this army, it will be tantamount to a direct war with the British, and now is not the time, so let's fight piecemeal, come a few more times, and the British can't stand it. Zhang Chengye doesn't care, as long as the hoe dances well, there is no corner that can't be dug down.

In today's battle, the transport troops, together with reinforcements, directly defeated the Indians 300, which is almost one-tenth of the strength of the British in Chiang Mai Province, not to mention a few more times, just one time is enough for the British.

Think about it, the small 300 troops were eaten in one bite, which must be quite a lot of pressure on the British, no matter what the British wanted to do in the future, the troops must be more than 500 people, otherwise they may be ambushed when they go out, which will make Sir Lauren Milne feel like pins and needles.

"Sir, how many of us are there in Chiang Mai? If you add it up, can you take down the city of Chiang Mai? Xu Zhongqing was still in a hurry, wanting to become a fat man in one bite.

"Hehe, it's out of bounds, it's not for you to know, it's the right thing to think about what we're going to eat at night." Zhang Chengye has a strict mouth and does not show his tone at all.

Chiang Mai is the northernmost province of Siam, and it is also the largest province in the north of Siam, the British have a heavy army stationed here, and if they want to take down the city of Chiang Mai, they must control it steadily, and not a regiment of marines can even think about it.

Here Zhang Chengye and Xu Zhongqing are relaxed and happy, and they have already fallen into a carnival at a glance.

In Chiang Mai province, fluttering is the real head snake. After the ambush, Ponchana led the "Chiang Mai Free Army" all the way back to the base, not taking care of eating, first taking stock of supplies, and seeing what they had gained.

There were still a lot of materials seized, including thousands of Lee Enfield rifles alone, and countless bullets and grenades. The guns and ammunition were not brand new, but carefully maintained and sealed, and were presumably British leftovers from the world war.

Even though it's second-hand, it's better than the color they use now.

It is estimated that this batch of weapons was originally intended to deal with the Germans, but the British still invested a lot of money, and the materials and workmanship were all the best choices, which were better than the Enfield they captured from the Indians.

In addition to weapons and ammunition, there were two wagons loaded with daily necessities, canned food, cigarettes, and so on, and a box of pounds sterling and rubles, the exact amount of which had not yet been cleared, which was estimated to be the military expenses prepared by the British.

The British also know the principle of "razing to raze", if they want to maintain their rule in Chiang Mai, the best way is to set up a force composed of Chiang Mai people, and the British are not deeply rooted in the Chiang Mai area.

Poncha Na had seen the pound before, and he was no stranger to the pound, but he had never seen such a big pile in front of him, so like other Free Army soldiers, Poncha Na was also counting with a pile of pounds, and his expression was indeed a little satisfied.

For Ponchana, playing with the British with his head is for the sake of these things in front of him. Ponchana has no education, and he is ignorant of anything like national integrity, and money is the source of strength for Ponchana to dare to fight against the British, so seeing that there are so many gains in a "light" battle, the satisfaction in Ponchana's heart can be imagined.

A courteous subordinate brought an Englishman's cigarette to Ponchana, who took it and took a puff and grinned: "Enough! The taste of this British product is different—"

In fact, it's just nonsense, Poncha's favorite is still smoking, and cigarettes or something are really a bit ineffective for Peachana. But in order to prove that he is not a dirt bun, he has to finish this cigarette with his nose pinched, otherwise how can he get closer to civilized people?

A cigarette was halfway smoked when a sharp gunshot rang out from the outskirts of the camp.

This gunshot came a little abruptly, including Puncha Na, everyone was a little stunned, two of them counted the money without any interference, and there were still words in their mouths, it is estimated that this will be a cannonball in the sky, and it will not affect them.

Saying that the shells were going down immediately, he had just scolded him two times when he heard a scream in the air, followed by a violent explosion.

"Damn, the British are here!"

"Run, run—"

"Fight, prepare to fight!"

Almost instantly, the Free Army camp was in disarray, and everyone was scurrying around like headless flies, fleeing or fighting.

"I'm surrounded by all of them, and no one is allowed to run away!" Outside the forest, Sir Lauren Milne personally supervised the battle.
