Chapter 913: Leng Feng's opponent
Fortunately, this time it was the Lao army that came, so there was nothing to worry about, so they reminded the envoys of the Phnom Penh Dynasty not to be careless, and at the same time, they strengthened their attention to the mercenary Leng Feng Second Division, in their opinion, as long as this trump card army does not move, the war will not break out, there is a place that cannot be controlled, and it is only a small-scale battle, which does not hurt the overall situation.
Some people even think that this is clearly a manifestation of Governor Luan Xiaochen's strong and middle-class cadres, just to scare the Phnom Penh Dynasty. When this opinion finally became a consensus, the envoys in charge of mediation were not as enthusiastic as before.
However, except for Luan Xiaochen and He Guang, others didn't know that Yang Chendong, who was known as the god of war, had arrived in Shangding City and was holding a military meeting here before the battle.
Fifteen days have passed since the last time Yang Chendong and Luan Xiaochen met. That is, the battle will start at any time. Today, Yang Chendong suddenly appeared in the City Lord's Mansion in Shangding City, but it really startled He Guang's subordinates, but their General He Guang looked calm, obviously knowing about this matter for a long time.
At the beginning of the mission, He Guang also belonged to the group of people who were kept in the dark. Luan Xiaochen just told him that he wanted to take 8,000 Lao troops to Shangding City to scare the Phnom Penh Dynasty army where Chen Bing was here.
He Guang himself did not reject this order. He also believes that it is very unsafe to always have foreign armies on the side of the borderlands. So after winning the mission, he set off, and deliberately made a noise along the way, for fear that others would not know.
After arriving in Ding Xicheng, He Guang saw Yang Chendong, who had come here first, he was shocked, he didn't understand, it was just a military deterrence, how could it alarm the sixth young master. But it wasn't until after meeting him that he received the task that he knew that this was a deterrent, and it was clear that he was really going to attack the Phnom Penh Dynasty.
He Guang is the general of the Lao Army, and it is really difficult to hide from him what he wants to do here, so Yang Chendong chose to meet him at the first time, and said his own strategic deployment, that is, in a word, steal the day.
With the Lao Army as the enemy, the Fourth Division of the Leng Feng Army wore their clothes, pretended to be them, and appeared in Shangding City with a big grin, quietly completing the pre-war layout.
Of course, there are still some work needed to do a good job, for example, after the Lao army enters the city, it needs to go back and forth in and out of the city, so that the number of people leaving the city is small and the number of people returning to the city is large, so as to prevent it from being discovered by others. The army in the city needs to hide in the house to avoid the scrutiny of other countries' spies.
Fortunately, the Chen soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty have not been outside the city of Shangding for a day or two, and the people in the city have long been frightened and fled a lot, plus there has been a massacre of the city here before, and there are many empty houses, so it is no problem for more than 10,000 mercenaries to live.
The meeting officially began, and in front of many officers, Yang Chendong announced the decision that the army would leave the city tonight and attack the army in Phnom Penh at night.
According to Yang Chendong's words, this time the 8,000 Lao army did not need to rush and kill on the battlefield, they only needed to follow behind the army to watch the prisoners and pick up the territory. When the news was announced, many Lao Army officers breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they looked at the unfamiliar faces of the officers in front of them with some suspicion.
As far as they knew, the Sixth Young Master was bringing the Fourth Division of the Leng Feng Army this time, plus twenty auxiliary battalions, a total of more than 16,000 people. The main task of the twenty auxiliary battalions is also to capture prisoners on the battlefield, so that with only one cold front division, it can really defeat the 50,000 enemies on the opposite side, and it will also capture Zhiba City like a bamboo? Or even to capture the entire Phnom Penh dynasty?
Even if the cold front of this division is powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this. Should this be said that the sixth young master is confident, or is he arrogant?
The meeting went very smoothly, with Yang Chendong here, almost everything was decided by him alone, and the others had no chance to intervene, let alone dare to question anything. In this way, watching Yang Chendong gush about the entire battle plan.
"I would like to reiterate that the main task of the auxiliaries is to follow the main forces of the Fourth Division, providing them with ammunition, capturing prisoners on the battlefield, and providing simple battlefield ambulance. The main task of the Lao army was to receive and care for the prisoners, to receive the granaries and various warehouses of the cities we had occupied along the way, to make the necessary registrations, and to arrange for the men sent from other places to be stationed in the Siam pools. Among them, I hope that everyone can perform well, and if anyone dares to hide the spoils of war privately, or desert during the war, then don't blame the ruthlessness of military law. ”
These words are Yang Chendong reminding the Lao Army. Because both Leng Feng and auxiliary soldiers are known for their strict military discipline, but the Lao Army is mostly composed of soldiers from the original Canglan Kingdom, although it has also undergone a certain restructuring, and most of the old and infirm people in the army have been eliminated, but this does not mean that they are really obedient.
Yang Chendong didn't want the soldiers to fight bloodily in the front, but the rear had problems because of the selfishness of some people, in that case, he would inevitably have to kill and find someone to punish the crime. War is to make money, but at the same time plundering resources is also a lot of wealth, the Phnom Penh Dynasty for so many years, also has some family background, these will play a huge role in the reconstruction of the place after the war.
As soon as he gave the order, He Guang's face became very ugly. He knew that this was the sixth young master who didn't believe in the Lao army, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only stand up and say: "Please rest assured, the sixth young master, his subordinates will definitely rectify military discipline, if there is a narrative situation, you don't need to kill, I will kill people and send them to you in person." ”
"Very well, I hope it's not a joke, it's a fact. By the way, I forgot to remind you that I have sent a secret force to spy on everything, and I will know very well whether you have really done it or not. While Yang Chendong nodded, he didn't forget to remind the other party once. If the warning reaches such an extent, and the other party still shows his greedy nature, then he can only kill the killer and make an example.
He Guang and the officers in the auxiliary army soon left again. Only Yang Chendong and Ling Daqiang, the commander of Leng Feng's Fourth Division, and the four Leng Feng regiment commanders were left in the room.
The five of them stood in a row, Yang Chendong looked at them with a smile, and then sorted out their military uniforms one by one, "You don't have to have any pressure, to tell you the truth, this time your opponent is still very strong." ”
"Sixth Young Master, we are not afraid of strong opponents, we will be stronger than them." Master Ling Daqiang said with a confident look.
"Yes, we will be stronger than our opponents." The four heads of the regiment also said in unison. At the same time, their faces were full of murder and confidence, and they seemed to be hot all over their bodies, ready for a bloody battle on the battlefield.
The four regiment commanders are Gao Xiang, the first regiment commander, He Wen, the second regiment commander, Lu Zheng, the third regiment commander, and Ye Fengxing, the fourth regiment commander. The four of them have also entered the military department of the Red Embedded City Academy for further study, and they are capable of writing and martial arts who can carry guns and kill, and are also familiar with various military books.
This time, the First Army on the land was formed, and they all caught up with the good time, and they were promoted from battalion-level officers to regimental-level officers, and this time was the time for them to perform well on the battlefield. Young people are naturally full of confidence, holding the strongest firearms of the present day, and naturally they will not take ordinary enemies in their eyes.
Officers have self-confidence, they have morale, and that's a good thing. Yang Chendong smiled and said, "It's good that you have the confidence to win. But I think you still misunderstood what I meant, and this time your opponent is not someone else, but your own. ”
"Your own people?" Including Ling Daqiang, the five officers and soldiers were puzzled, they didn't understand what this meant, could it be that the second division also came, if this was the case, then their pressure was really great, the commander of the second division, Luo Po, was second only to Leng Song in the army, and everyone respected him very much.
"Yes, it's my own people, they are a cavalry team I formed when I was in the grassland. Many of them are even exotic faces, and of course, now they are all Han Chinese, just like you. By the way, they have a very loud name, the first division of the cavalry in the world, hehe, don't say that Young Master Ben didn't remind you, although they are holding sabers, but with the speed of the war horse, they may not be worse than you, you must be mentally prepared, don't be compared. ”
Thinking that there was already news that the First Division of the World Cavalry would rush to Shangding City in the afternoon, Yang Chendong had a smile on his face. He is looking forward to Leng Feng and the cavalry, who can perform more brilliantly on this battlefield.
Hearing that it was a cavalry coming, Daqiang's face became much more cautious. The speed of the people is naturally inferior to that of the cavalry, but fortunately, they also brought enough bicycles with them on this trip, which is not bad in comparison. At that moment, he said: "We are not afraid of any competition, each of our fighters has undergone hard training and extremely difficult assessments, and we believe that we are good enough." ”
"Well, that's good. But every cavalryman of the first division in the world also went through a strict and even harsh assessment to be able to join the army, and they went through countless tests of life and death to achieve positive results, and they are no worse than you. Yang Chendong thought of the month-long bloody battle with Tokhoff without sweating, and now that he has been training hard for several months, Tian Hu must have brought him more surprises.
