Chapter Eighty-Three: Official Gambling Is the Most Deadly
The newspaper also recorded the words of General Maya Kuiyudo: The Yuan and Han battlefields are currently undecided, and the final outcome is currently unknown.
The newspaper also published the news of the Khmer War, with the headline that the Khmer King Suryadi announced the general mobilization of the war in Angkor Thom, and the text introduced the article and implementation of the Suriyadie, and also wrote that Suriyadi sent troops to Nakong Tong Ai after the completion of the general mobilization of the war.
This issue of the newspaper was naturally on sale, and even the official opened "gambling shops" in various places, openly gambling which country is the biggest winner, and the enthusiasm of the people was instantly mobilized.
"Which one do you guess?"
"I guess Yuan, Yuan is such a big country with so much power, how can it lose?"
"I guess it's not Yuan."
"Huh? So what did you guess? ”
"I guess Han, if you think about it, the Yuan army attacked us so many times in history, and we were all repulsed, which shows that his strength is not much stronger."
"WOC, I think what you said makes sense, when this yuan controlled the entire Central Plains, it couldn't beat us, and now the strength is not worse."
"You're buying a Han with me now, and you're going to win the lottery."
"Okay, I'll believe you kid." So the man went back and bought another Han's note.
The vast majority of candidates are Han and Yuan, probably because Yuan and Han are the main combatants.
"Brother is different from you, I chose He Zhen."
"Really?" Naturally, they had also heard of He Zhen's name, and when the Yuan army invaded before, wasn't He Zhen the one who helped and expelled the Yuan army?
"I heard that our country has been providing weapons and food to He Zhen."
"What?" They've heard about it, too, and they didn't think of it when they bought it. Everyone believes that if it is invested by the state, it must be a good result in the end.
So some people have gone back and bought another copy of He Zhen, the purchase time is only two days, two days later it can no longer be purchased, and so on after the lottery will be announced in the newspaper, bet on someone only need 5 copper plates, when the time wins the lottery can get 20 copper plates, so many people bet on 3 people, as long as one of them guesses right, they can earn 5 copper plates, and there are so many people who participate in the war, isn't this a business that makes money without losing money?
On August 4, the 23rd year of Zheng, the Liang and Han battlefields took the lead in ending the battle, the battle ended in the defeat of the Liang army, both sides eventually produced great casualties in this war, the Han army originally came to 80,000 people to fight to the end only 28,000 people, the Liang and Yue coalition army was originally more than 90,000 people, and finally only more than 30,000 people remained, so Zaravarmi could not bear such a big loss, so he did not continue to attack.
It is good to regard Zaravar as orthodox, the damage caused by the Liang army in this war is too much, if the manpower is exhausted in this war, then how to resist the attack of Ming Xia after that. After all, Beiyuan will not help him resist Ming Xia's attack, everything has to come by himself, and he always has to think about his children and grandchildren.
Of the more than 30,000 people, the Cantonese army was 20,000 people, and the Liang army still had 10,000 left, probably because the Han army was the first to attack the Liang army, and the two sides fought for a long time to cause such a result, the Liang army retreated to Yongzhou, and the Guangdong army retreated to Shaoguan. The Han army did not continue to pursue, they were exhausted during this time, and if there were reinforcements from the enemy, then they would be wiped out in pursuit, and Chen Youliang gave them an order to defend every inch of territory, and now they have repelled the enemy army and completed the task.
On August 6, the 23rd year, Chen Youliang also learned the good news.
"Your Majesty, our army in Yongzhou has repelled the Liang army."
"Okay." Chen Youliang laughed.
"How's the Ji'an battlefield going now?" Chen Youliang asked.
"At present, it is still a stalemate, and they have not launched a strong attack for a long time, what should be their intention."
"They're waiting for reinforcements." Chen Youliang said with a solemn face.
Everyone echoed: "Your Majesty is really wise and martial, and the ministers and others have not seen the enemy's intentions. ”
Chen Youliang said proudly: "That's natural." "Of course, they can be Chen Youliang's subordinates, why are they not smart people, they just deliberately pretend to be stupid.
"Since they don't attack us, then we will take the initiative to attack them, and if enemy reinforcements come, let them hold on until I defeat He Zhen and go to support."
After receiving Chen Youliang's order, the Ji'an army immediately organized an attack, Chen Youding was naturally prepared, he knew that the enemy would know his intentions sooner or later, so he asked the whole army to be on guard.
The attack of the Han army is really crazy, but Chen Youding is not jealous, repelled the Han army many times, and caused great casualties to the Han army, Chen Youding has defeated the Han army many times, and knows the combat methods of the Han army well, and the many attacks of the Han army have been resolved by Chen Youding, and even Chen Youding also seized the flaws of the Han army's attack and attacked Ji'an City.
After Chen Youliang knew that Ji'an City had fallen, he was very angry and lost Ji'an City, which was much more difficult at this time, Chen Youding and him were mortal enemies, and he had also lost in the hands of Chen Youding many times, and now he was defeated again. However, due to the fact that the Han army protected the city of Ji'an, the army that attacked the city of Ji'an was less than 1,000 people, as long as the Chen Youding army on the periphery was not allowed to break through the defense line and enter the city. With the strength of the Han army, it only takes 20 minutes to recover the city of Ji'an, and when the city was originally attacked, Chen Youding's army destroyed the city wall, and Chen Youding's army could not repair the city wall of Ji'an city in a short time.
Chen Youliang then ordered the Han army to recapture Ji'an City, and not to lose Ji'an City again, if Ji'an City is lost again, Chen Youliang will be severely punished, and then Chen Youliang announced in the army that if Chen Youliang's army arrives in the end, everyone will be rewarded. So the Han army tried their best to attack Chen Youding's army, which is the role of reward and punishment.
On August 7, the 23rd year of Zheng, the Han army recaptured the city of Ji'an, and once again stalemate with Chen Youding, the combat policy of the Han army also changed, in order to prevent Chen Youding's army from breaking through the city of Ji'an again, the Han army again changed from attacking to defending, and repaired the wall of Ji'an City, and restored the defense of Ji'an City.
On the same day, the Khmer army attacked the Ayutthaya barracks, many soldiers were captured before they could resist, of course, many escaped from the barracks, and some soldiers fled into the royal city and reported to Rama Tiebodhi, at this time Rama Tiebodhi knew that the Khmers had attacked Ashoka without him knowing, so he hurriedly prepared to mobilize the army of Ratchaburi back to Ashoka City.
