The 5,000-strong army of Phnom Penh rumbled in, the war elephants took heavy steps, and their huge bodies were stained with blood, and it was estimated that the people and defenders along the way had suffered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The prince of Phnom Penh, Luo Kun, rode a war elephant, guarded by elephant soldiers on the left and right, dressed in gold silk armor and carrying a long war knife, all of whom were elite soldiers. It seems that this move is not only to rob Maduri but also to destroy the Cham Po.

Luo Kun waved the flag in his hand, and the whole army assembled and stood by, lined up, the army was neat, and the swords and guns shone in the moonlight.

Then he sent his general Madur to negotiate to achieve the goal of approaching the city and surrendering the army without a fight.

Madur ordered the guards to harness the elephant to the center of the battlefield. Xiao Lang'er looked at Maduri and motioned for him to negotiate, and walked over with one of the generals of the city.

Maduri trusted Xiao Lang'er very much and watched Xiao Lang'er walk over.

When they arrived at the center of the two armies, they asked each other, "Who is coming, I am Madur, the general under the prince of Phnom Penh!"

"Hugh is nonsense, hurry up and retreat, otherwise you will have to wait for no return!" Xiao Lang'er called the general to respond.

"The soldiers are still so arrogant when they come to the city, send Princess Maduri immediately, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not be left. Madur said fiercely.

"Get out, today is your end!" Xiao Lang'er shouted.

"It seems that you toast and don't eat and drink!" said Madur turned and left.

Xiao Lang'er said to the general next to him, "How do you say in Phnom Penh who will fight with me." Xiao Lang'er learned a few times under the attention of the army, and then ran towards the Phnom Penh army.

When they came to Phnom Penh, they shouted two feet away, "Who will fight with me! Who will fight with me!" The Phnom Penh army looked at each other, who is this?

The prince of Phnom Penh ordered his generals to go to the head-on, Madur was angry just now, if it wasn't for the negotiation, he would have killed this arrogant boy long ago, jumped off the war elephant, and danced a long knife to meet Xiao Lang'er.

The two of them didn't answer, they just came, Madur was dressed in iron armor, and the long knife slashed, and the wind was blowing. Xiao Lang'er only slashed, and Madur's long knife was broken in two, and the broken blade flew into the sky. It plunged into the chest of one of the soldiers, who fell to the ground before he could say a word.

The army was in an uproar, and Madur threw away the broken knife, aren't you a powerful weapon, empty-handed! A punch came over, known for its strength, and once killed an Indian tiger with one punch. I believe that I can smash Xiao Lang'er's head with one punch.

Compared with my strength, you are still a little behind, pinched Madur's fist, grabbed it hard, Madur's head broke out in cold sweat, only to hear the sound of broken bones, Xiao Lang'er punched him in the chest again, and the person flew out of the distance, and he couldn't see it alive.

The Phnom Penh army was stunned and frightened by the might of Xiao Lang'er, and the prince of Phnom Penh ordered the troops to attack, and if they continued in this way, they were demoralized and the consequences were unpredictable, urging the army to advance.

The drums were shocking, and the Phnom Penh army marched at a unified pace, and if they saw it in the city tower, they shouted that Xiao Lang'er would return to the city quickly. Xiao Lang'er fought and retreated, leading the Phnom Penh army to a place where the gunboats could hit.

The Phnom Penh army rushed forward vigorously, came to the city wall, and the Cham soldiers were in short contact, suddenly, the guns rang out, the firearms team on the city rang out, the cannonballs exploded in the elephant soldiers, the Phnom Penh soldiers died a large area, the elephants were frightened, jumping around, and a row of guns came, many elephants were injured and ran wildly, and many soldiers fell down and trampled into flesh.

Another cannon sounded, a salvo of more than a dozen guns on the ship, which exploded in the Phnom Penh army, corpse fragments flew everywhere, and an eyeball splashed on Luo Kun's face, frightening him into a cold sweat.

The defeat was like a mountain, the Phnom Penh army was in a mess, and a swarm of bees ran to the border, Xiao Lang'er took advantage of this opportunity to gallop and gallop to capture the prince of Phnom Penh.

was caught only three feet apart, Luo Kun saw Xiao Lang'er chasing after him, knew how powerful he was, and ordered his subordinates to put their guns and arrows, and firearms and arrows whistled in Xiao Lang'er's ears.

A bullet shot at his heart, Xiao Lang'er blocked it with a knife, and the bullet bounced back and shot through the head of a soldier.

Because there were a large number of soldiers fleeing in front, which blocked the speed of the prince of Phnom Penh, Luo Kun was so anxious that he scolded and slashed the soldiers in front with a long knife.

With only two long distances and a wider front, Lokun believed that his war elephant was the fastest, and he could escape with just one more minute. Tell the Elephant Guards to speed up.

At this moment, Xiao Lang'er leaped forward, with great speed, across two feet, jumped on the war elephant of Lokun, grabbed him by the neck, cleared the guards on the left and right, ordered him to surrender, beware of his dog's life, and demanded that all the soldiers who were fighting in the battle stop, otherwise their lord would die.

Lokin couldn't, so he had to surrender and ordered all his men to surrender, or else they would all be killed.

When the soldiers on Champa saw that the prince had been captured, they cheered happily, and they went forward to capture the captives, disarmed them, and put them together to guard.

Xiao Lang'er escorted Luo Kun back to the palace, and the crowd on the tower of the city sprinkled flowers and incense powder to celebrate the victory and praise the heroes.

When he came to the palace, the king of Champa smiled, swept away the panic just now, sat on the throne as a victor, expressed great respect for Xiao Lang'er, and even asked him to sit side by side with him.

Xiao Lang'er refused, how to deal with these prisoners at the moment, it is best to reach an armistice. After all, the Cham country is small and weak, and it can't withstand the war, and now it has caught the prince of Phnom Penh, which has a bargaining chip, and this Luo Kun is the heir to the throne of Phnom Penh.

Xiao Lang'er expressed his demand for reparations for the defeat, as well as a ransom for Luo Kun and the surrendered troops, and promised not to violate the Cham again, no more harassment, and signed an agreement. Otherwise, all the soldiers in Phnom Penh will be killed.

Ask Luo Kun to send someone back to contact him, and bring a ransom of 10,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver.

Thinking that if he didn't go back, the throne might be coveted, and there was no way, so Luo Kun had to send someone to Phnom Penh to ask his father for help, if he didn't agree, his little life would be left in Cham.

Seeing that Luo Kun did so, the king of Champa did not embarrass him, after all, it was a neighboring country, so he still arranged a banquet for him, and then put him in prison and waited for news.

The king of Champa happily rewarded the three armies, including Xiao Lang'er's army, each of whom was paid five taels, and the leader was ten taels, and everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.

In order to commend the soldiers' military exploits, Xiao Lang'er said that the sailors could go ashore to eat, drink and have fun after resting for two days in the city of Champa, but they were not allowed to harass the local people, pay attention to personal hygiene, arrange for the medical officer to prepare the medicinal juice, and the sailors should be cleaned once on board to prevent the epidemic of diseases.

When the sailors heard the notice, they danced happily, and it was good to follow the little marquis, respecting their preferences! Some people went to taverns to drink, some went to brothels, and some gamblers went to casinos. These two days will be a day of revelry, and the money in their pockets will be spent in these two days.

When the singers on the ship saw that the sailors had gone down, they all felt a little disappointed, and they also went to the streets to see what business there was.
