Chapter 918: Fire Traps the Fourth Division

"Head Ye, what is your opinion?" Ling Daqiang seems to value Ye Xingfeng very much, or he is very democratic, in short, every time he discusses something, he needs everyone to speak out.

Ye Xingfeng, the fourth regiment commander who was named, narrowed his eyes slightly, "We can do what the landing regiment commander said, but in this case, the enemy will definitely not rashly attack, in that case, we will lose a chance to kill the enemy." ”

What does that mean exactly? Could it be that we know that we have to jump into the trap? Just to lure the enemy? Lu Zheng, the third head of the regiment, saw that Ye Xingfeng was going to deny his opinion, so he had a trace of doubt in his voice.

"If you want more kills, you should jump in. The Sixth Young Master has taught us a lesson, and only by destroying the enemy's vital force to the greatest extent is the foundation for being invincible. I just don't want to miss a kill. Hey, it would be nice if the First Division of the Cavalry of the World followed us, with their cooperation, we could easily tear a hole even if it was a trap. Ye Xingfeng told the truth, he didn't mean to target Commander Lu Zheng. It's just that fighting a war inevitably has a difference between the main force and cooperation, and it is normal for opinions to be inconsistent, but resentment due to work is a serious work problem.

Long before the battle, Yang Chendong had told them that as long as it was found that any officer of the same rank had a personal enmity due to work, once it was found that the party who made the mistake would be severely punished, or even take off his military uniform, and it was possible to be expelled from the army.

This is just a tactic of Yang Chendong, to avoid the phenomenon of disunity among officers as much as possible. Because the result of mistrust can lead to victory and defeat in a big war.

Ye Xingfeng thought of this sentence, so he didn't mean to worry about Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng obviously thought of something, and in the face of what Ye Xingfeng said, he didn't fight tit-for-tat, but chose to shut up. Anyway, his opinion has been taken out, and what to do next depends on the division commander.

Ling Daqiang didn't take the following different opinions seriously, it was normal to have disputes at work, even if he could serve as the head of Leng Feng, his personal quality was naturally no problem. What he was thinking about now was the question of whether to enter the city or not.

As Ye Xingfeng said, after entering the city, there is naturally danger, and even being surrounded is possible. However, if you do not enter the city, the enemy will not appear, and in this way, you will not be able to severely damage the enemy's living force.

"When the army enters the city, I don't believe it, with the strength of our Leng Feng Fourth Division, will we be afraid of this Phnom Penh soldier? As for the First Division of the Cavalry of the World, they are really too tired to fight all the way, so let them rest for a night in Kratie City today. Ling Daqiang finally made the decision to enter the city. In his opinion, in the face of great strength, any conspiracy and trickery are vulnerable, and this time their fourth division must use its upright military might and combat effectiveness to tell the other party that in front of them, any strategy is like a clown jumping off a beam, and it will not work.

The division commander gave the order, and the second, third, and fourth regiments and the battalions directly under the division began to enter the city of Chuanlong one by one. And as soon as they entered the city, they occupied four towers, and looked down on everything inside and outside the city from a condescending position.

Leng Feng's fourth division entered the city, this scene was discovered by the Phnom Penh Dynasty scouts in the distance, and then the news came out, the Phnom Penh army that had withdrawn from Chuanlong City and the reinforcements from the direction of Su Weng City arrived one after another, and surrounded Chuanlong City in several four different directions.

"Sure enough, it's a trap." Standing on top of the city tower, a full 30,000 troops of the Phnom Penh Dynasty appeared in the telescope, and even found trebuchets and other siege heavy objects in the enemy ranks, and the commander of Ling Daqiang's voice said in a cold voice. "The order went down, the soldiers held the four towers in a company unit, and the other soldiers seized the time to rest, and when the morning dawned, the whole line counterattacked."

For the enemy's siege of the city, it was not unexpected by Ling Daqiang, on the contrary, he became excited when the other party appeared. In his opinion, it will be a counter-encirclement battle without suspense, and the final victory will definitely belong to him. But one thing he didn't expect was that there was also a tactic called Center Blossom.

From the moment the warning fireworks were lit on the castle of Kratie, the city of Kawaryū, which had received the news, was ready to abandon the city. This was originally a high-level secret of the Phnom Penh Dynasty military, and even a secret that the Security Bureau could not know, that is, once the city could not be defended, it would be abandoned, and then the enemy troops entering the city would be severely damaged by the way of fire and flowering in the center, so as to win the war.

To put it bluntly, it is to give up the city first, wait for the enemy to enter the city, set fire to the city at the right time, interfere with the arrangement of the enemy army in the city, and then cooperate with the outside to destroy the incoming enemy. And now they are using this set of methods, taking advantage of the fact that when Leng Feng's Fourth Division entered the city, the sky had already darkened, and they could not seriously and meticulously investigate the situation in the city, so they prepared to burn the Sichuan Dragon City.

Of course, the Fourth Division of Leng Feng is not a vegetarian, and there is one of them in the syllabus of their training, that is, to enter a city, and the first thing to do is to clear all the crises that may arise in the city. In fact, they did the same, but the direction was a little wrong, and they cleared mainly the city lord's mansion in the city. Important places such as the general's palace and granaries and warehouses were not searched for places where people gathered. After all, there are too many such places, and it is far from being possible to find out in a moment.

Moreover, the cold fronts are armed with the Nine-Five Style, and if someone is face-to-face with them, they will not be afraid of anyone and any army.

Ten miles north of Chuanlong City, 30,000 Phnom Penh troops are gathering here, led by Hamo, one of the generals of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. He was originally a general sent by the dynasty to guard Suweng City, but after hearing about the accident in Kratie City this time, he mobilized 10,000 defenders in Suweng City, plus the defenders of some nearby cities, and gathered a total of 30,000 soldiers who escaped from Chuanlong City, and arranged such a pocket in a very short period of time, waiting for the mercenaries to drill in.

After the news came from the scouts in front that the mercenaries had blasted open the northern gate of Chuanlong with artillery, he became very nervous. He even regretted it a little, he should have left a few thousand people to defend the city, at least to create a false impression for the mercenaries, that is, Chuanlong City was not deliberately given up by him, but was forcibly attacked, so that it would be convenient for him to enter the city.

With apprehension in his heart, Hamo kept praying in his heart that the mercenaries must enter the city, otherwise all his preparations would be in vain. Not only that, but he may even be charged with the crime of voluntarily abandoning Chuanlong City and retreating without a fight.

In the midst of the tension, the time seemed to pass very long, until the scout came with the news that all the mercenaries had entered the city, and the number was nearly 10,000, that Hamo's high heart slowly relaxed.

Nearly 10,000 enemies are now all surrounded by themselves. With three times the strength of the force, and the echo of the city, it seems that Hamo has seen a golden avenue in front of him.

What is a mercenary? It was a formidable enemy that even Dahn and General Hun Sen had lost when they faced it. If he defeated them, wouldn't he prove that he was even more powerful than these two generals? At that time, everyone will look up to themselves, and at that time, won't the glory and wealth be within reach?

The excited General Hamo began to mobilize the army, and 20,000 of the 30,000 soldiers under his command were dispatched, and 5,000 were sent to each city gate, to give the mercenaries a good look.

Outside Chuanlong City, it has been surrounded by a flood. Ling Daqiang in the city did not have the slightest panic on his face, at this moment he just waited for the other party to take the initiative to knock on the door, and then he would let the enemy know how ridiculous the so-called siege was in the face of great strength.

Just when Ling Daqiang was waiting for the other party to attack, he suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to be rising, and then the fire in the sky reflected his face, and his face became ugly in an instant.

"Report to the division commander, there are fires in many places in the city, and the fire is spreading extremely badly, what should the four regiment commanders do?"

"Report to the division commander, the fires are raging everywhere, they can no longer be extinguished, and there is a tendency to surround our army, the four regiment commanders ask for instructions on whether to break through outside the city."

"Report to the division commander, we must retreat, the fire is already burning to you, please leave with us."

One after another news was sent to Ling Daqiang, and the division commander finally figured out what the Phnom Penh army was thinking. He asked himself that he was very careful, but he could not have imagined that the enemy would be so frenzied, and that the fire would burn first in the residential area, and that several percent of the people in the city would be buried with him.

"It's really ruthless." Sighing that the Phnom Penh army in order to win the victory actually regarded the lives of the people as a mustard, Ling Daqiang shook his head again and again and then issued a military order, ordering all the troops to withdraw from the north gate, echoing each other, and handing over cover. ”

After giving the order, Ling Daqiang's body stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Forcing a sudden exit from the city, and in the darkness of the night, was not a wise move. Although it is said that Leng Feng's fourth division is well-trained, there should be no confusion in the army, but losses are inevitable in a hurry.

Ling Daqiang, who was supported by the guards, now wants to reduce the losses as much as possible, if the fourth division is severely damaged because of this, I am afraid that he will have no shame to go to see the sixth young master and other comrades.

The fire was burning in Kawaryu Castle, and it was clearly visible from a distance. Among the Chinese troops of the Phnom Penh army, General Hamo laughed, he did not dare to expect that the 30,000 army could wipe out nearly 10,000 mercenaries, but as long as he could inflict heavy damage on them and defeat them, it would already be a great achievement.
