Chapter 1243: It's Not That Simple

He believed that the main force of the two coalition forces was the Johor army, and the main battlefield was also in Johor territory, so the generals of the Johor army should serve as the commander of the coalition army, and this command should not be handed over to the British. However, it turned out to be his hope, and the British officer Hogg eventually gained command of the Johor royal family, while Papong could only sit second in the coalition army.

Although he was a little aggrieved, Bapong finally put the overall situation in mind and accepted this arrangement. He also expected that Hogg would definitely take credit in the process of the battle, in order to seek a greater voice for the East India Company, but the elite of this coalition was Hogg's five hundred mercenaries, and he couldn't overstep his command of Hogg's people, so this errand of playing the vanguard naturally couldn't grab Hogg. The other party rushed to the south with the elite of the coalition army, but he could only lead a large group of infantry, carrying grain and grass and baggage to follow slowly.

Of course, Bapon also understands that the key to winning this sneak attack battle is the speed of the soldiers, and there is nothing wrong with Hogg's tactics of taking the lead in the assault with elite troops, but thinking that he may not even be able to drink hot soup when he slowly rushes over with a large army, this mood is not good. According to the temperament of the British, at most, they leave tasks such as cleaning up the battlefield to themselves, which is very frustrating to think about.

Ba Peng wanted to march quickly with his troops, maybe he could go to the battlefield and fight hard, and then he could report to his superiors for reward. However, the distance from the north of the island to the south of the island is far away, and there is no decent road, and the transportation of baggage is extremely inconvenient, and many places even need to be carried by hand and shoulder to allow large materials to pass, and the speed of the march cannot be raised at all. As a last resort, he could only let the people who were transporting artillery, grain and grass and other burdens move forward slowly, and he led part of the main force to speed up the pace.

However, when he was still a few miles away from the forward troops, Bappon encountered the soldiers sent back by Hogg to give orders, and told him to speed up his march and rush to the battle zone for reinforcements.

"Reinforcements?" Bappon couldn't help but savor the meaning of the order. He didn't believe that Hogg was urging the march to get a bite of meat for himself, and the only reason for doing so could only be that the battle was not going well, and Hogg's troops were unable to suppress the enemy army, so they needed support so urgently.

Bapon hurriedly asked a few more questions, and sure enough, the herald said that Hogg had launched two attacks that had been blocked, and that he had not yet entered the Haihan village. Papon almost laughed out loud on his horse, and the Englishman, as the commander of the coalition forces, rushed to the front to grab the merit, only to be hit by a gray nose, and the whole thing became a joke, to see what face he had to show off in front of him in the future.

However, after laughing at Hogg in his heart, Bapon did not despise this sudden situation, even when he ordered a rapid march to the battlefield. He knew very well that his battle plan was to use sneak attack tactics to break through Haihan's defenses before he could react, and even if he could not conquer his stronghold for the time being, at least he would occupy the villages where the immigrants lived, and capture a group of prisoners to coerce Haihan officials into submission. But Hogg commanded the elite of the coalition army, and he couldn't even attack the village, which is really a bit unreasonable.
