Chapter Eighty-Four: Abruptly Ended
As soon as the envoy left, the Khmer army surrounded the city of Ashoka with the back foot, and the city defense army in the city of Ashoka had no more than 10,000 garrisons, which must be insignificant with the Khmer army of 200,000, so all these 10,000 people joined the city defense team, and the top priority was to hold the city of Ashoka.
After the siege of the Khmer army, after a little rest for a few days, they launched the first strong attack on Ayutthaya, Rama Tiebodhi personally led the anti-siege war, and finally supported the first wave of the Khmer offensive, but the city wall of Ashoka was extremely badly damaged, many Khmer soldiers climbed into the city through the cave, fortunately, the city defense army guarded, as soon as someone climbed in, they killed the enemy, and finally 200,000 people actually produced 5,000 casualties, but Ashoka City was not much better, most of the people were wounded, The resistance of the defenders of the Ashoka Dynasty was greatly reduced, and some serious ones were directly abandoned for treatment, and even if they survived, most of them also had sequelae, so would the country have to support them in the future? As a result, most of the medical resources are used to treat some of the injured who are not seriously injured.
When the army of Ratchaburi received the news, they immediately rushed to Ayutthayya, they were rushing to Ayutthaya at the speed of a rapid march, they hated themselves for being too slow, and they were afraid that if they were slow, the enemy would break through the royal city, and then their king would be in danger.
Rama Tie Bodhi sent envoys to mobilize troops at the same time, but also sent a message to the surrounding countries, hoping that they could join the war and help them win, the first to receive news from Ayutthaya were Sukhothai and Bago, the capitals of these two countries are closest to Ayuthya, but they did not plan to join the conflict between the two countries, after all, they are small countries, they have not recovered from the war, this time to get involved in other countries, will only make their domestic situation more serious.
On August 8, the 23rd year of the 23rd year of Ayuthya, several other enemy Ayutthaya armies also learned the news, and immediately rushed back to the city of Ashoka to escort them, there were many garrisons in Rakburi, because it was on the front line, there were 80,000 Ayutthaya defenders in Rakburi, although there was a big gap with 200,000, many of the 200,000 Khmer troops were temporarily pulled to fill the number, and the combat effectiveness was very poor.
The large-scale mobilization of troops in Ratchaburi was naturally noticed by the Majapahit, and Ha Seong Wulu was also very excited, the capture of these countries was just around the corner, what he had to do now was to wait slowly, and when the two sides were almost consumed, he could attack.
Ratchaburi came to the Ayutthaya army without making corrections, and immediately joined the battle, at this time the Khmer had just launched a strong attack, at this time the morale was low, and the sudden appearance of the Ayutthaya war elephant made them panic.
Rama Tiebodhi was a little more relaxed, but fortunately the reinforcements arrived in time, and he knew that if the Khmers attacked again, Ashoka City would definitely not be able to hold it.
The Khmer people have a long history of using war elephants, they know the weaknesses of war elephants, they are afraid of fire, and firearms can also cause frightening to them, so the Khmer people took out their guns and shelled the enemy positions, on the one hand, they can cause damage to the enemy army, and on the other hand, they can also use the sound to frighten the war elephants, so as to kill two birds with one stone.
As expected, the fire bolts did kill two birds with one stone, and the Ayyuthian war elephants were frightened and ran in all directions, some rampage into the ranks of the Khmers, some into the ranks of the Ayuthayas, and of course most of them towards the open space.
Suddenly, a war elephant rushed straight towards the Khmer headquarters, the soldiers tried to find a way to stop the war elephant, they picked up the spear in their hands and stabbed at the war elephant, the war elephant cares about this, compared to the shelling, these pain is not to be feared, the people who want to stop the war elephant are knocked to the ground by the war elephant, and one foot is trampled to death.
The command camp was quickly washed away, and the soldiers swore to protect Suriyadi, but Suryedie's was still coincidentally hit by the people who were hit by the war elephants, and several generals were not much better, some people were directly killed on the spot, the flesh and blood were blurred, it was really miserable, those generals who were okay saw Suriya fall, their faces were frightened, and they withdrew directly with the army from Ayutaya, and the war between the two sides ended hastily, and the general simply let the military doctor deal with it, and then sent Suriya home, and then he stayed to negotiate with Ayutaya, Rama Tiebodhi was quite sympathetic to Suriyadi, and he had not fought long and almost lost his life, and he happened to be under pressure from Majapahit, so he agreed to sign a peace treaty.
On August 9, 23, Suriyadi arrived in Battambang, and after receiving treatment in Battambang, Suriyadi got better, and when Suriyadi woke up, he was taken back to Angkor for recuperation.
As soon as he woke up, he asked about the war, and Battambang's doctors knew about it, saying that they were still fighting the enemy on the front line.
"Really?" Suryadi is sorry that he couldn't stay with everyone at this critical time.
On the 10th day of August of the 23rd year, Suriyati was transferred back to the Angkor Palace for recuperation.
Ha Xiang Wulu was ready to take them by surprise, and at the same time he was ready to let the Cham join their war this time, after the last war, he thought a lot, if there were Cham people attacking in the rear, it would definitely not be this result, but he had a good face at that time, and did not ask the Cham people to join, if there were Cham people to join, it would not have been only annexed Phetchaburi and Mali, maybe Ayutthaya had already been taken by him.
So while preparing for the war affairs, he sent an envoy to the Champa, hoping that the Cham people would fulfill their duties as allies and join their wars, if in general, there might not be a way to refuse, but now that he is in the Yuan and Han wars, this is naturally a good reason to refuse, although they did not send troops to the Han, and Chen Youliang did not know that the Cham had joined the war.
Ha Xuan Wulu was very annoyed at first when he learned that Zhan Po refused to join the war, but later learned that Cham participated in the Chinese Civil War, and he felt that Cham must have had a very difficult time, after all, the strength of Huaxia alone is more than one million, and as far as he knows, there are only more than 100,000 troops in the Champa country, what are these 100,000 troops enough for? I'm afraid it's not enough for them to stuff their teeth.
At the same time, his eyes seem to be burning with flames, he is ambitious, and when he defeats Southeast Asia, sooner or later he will enter the Central Plains and face the Central Plains Dynasty.
Since he can't join the war, Ha Xiang Wulu is not embarrassed, but just hopes that he can provide them with supplies, and they can buy them.
