Liu Xin, dressed in a azure men's uniform, held binoculars to check the enemy's situation on a makeshift lookout outside Phnom Penh, with no expression on her face.

Several generals of the Liu Jiajun and the Jingang garrison army around her were quietly discussing the tactical arrangements for the siege operation, and the generals of the two sides seemed to have a good relationship.

Thanks to Liu Xin's measures to limit power, she did not allow the generals of the Liu Jiajun, who had more combat experience, to directly command the garrison, but asked them to "only participate in the council" except for the surrender of the Japanese and the Yiding, and in particular, they were not allowed to dictate and judge the various actions of the garrison.

Liu Xin knows that the system of the garrison army is created by high pragmatism, and the style of high pragmatism must be seriously influenced by the later Red Dynasty, and many practices are inevitably different from the current Ming army. If Liu Jiajun's "veterans" had not been repeatedly advised, there would certainly have been discussions, which might lead to discord between the two sides.

Now because of the restraint of the generals of the Liu Jiajun, the generals in the Jingang garrison system are not high enough in front of her, so the two sides can maintain a good cooperative relationship.

The only thing that makes the generals of the Jingang Garrison a little unaccustomed is probably that Liu Xin likes to show people in men's clothes.

The situation of female generals leading troops in Jingang Garrison is not unaccustomed, not only because of Huang Zhiting's relationship, but also because of the fact that some of the Cen Huang wolf soldiers are second only to Tusi Tumu themselves, so there are not very few female generals in the wolf soldiers, and the garrison has been in Annam for a long time, which can be said to have been strange for a long time.

It's just that whether it's Huang Zhiting or other female Tumu, they won't wear men's clothes. If it's a military uniform, there is no special women's style, so it's just that. But usually they either wear Han-style women's clothes directly like Huang Zhiting, or they wear traditional women's clothes, in short, they don't wear men's clothes.

Liu Xin is the only exception. If she entered the city, she would also wear the normal women's clothes of the Ming Dynasty, but as long as she marched out of the city, unless she knew that there might be a battle, she would wear military uniforms, otherwise she would definitely wear men's clothes, and everyone felt very awkward to see it, but she herself seemed to be uncomfortable.

Some garrison generals privately mentioned to the generals of the Liu family, and the generals of the Liu family army were also helpless, saying that since the old man went north, no one in the family could take care of the eldest lady.

However, the slander of the generals of the garrison army ended here, except for this one, Liu Xin's performance can be said to be impeccable.

In this operation, according to the idea of the garrison, it is best to go straight to Phnom Penh after starting from Champong, the purpose is to catch Cambodia by surprise and strive to end the war as quickly as possible - the reason has been said before, Jinghua is now a very heavy task, and the Jingang garrison also knows how to relieve pressure on the top.

But Liu Xin made an unexpected decision, she had to take down Brother Prian first. That's not all, after taking Priango, he also harvested a wave of rice in the local area, and waited for the drying and rice beating to be finished, so he went north to Phnom Penh in a hurry.

At first, the generals of the Jingang Garrison were very dissatisfied, believing that it was completely putting the cart before the horse and delaying the right thing. Although they did not dare to disobey under the token of high pragmatism, they complained a lot in private.

Especially in the process of "waiting for rice", Liu Xin was still "touring the mountains and rivers" near Puliange, which made them even more disgusted.

It wasn't until a detachment sent by Gao Jing anchored in a place called "Zhenglai Bay" somewhere in Priangor and began to build a temporary port that the generals of the Golden Port Garrison stopped discussing privately.

They themselves are "Jinghua people", of course, they also know Jinghua's habits, and this performance of the fleet basically shows that it is very likely to build a port in that place in the future.

It's just that such a professional matter is entrusted to a woman from Jiangmen...... I don't know if I picked the right position, and the generals of the garrison army buried this suspicion in their hearts for the time being.

Slowly going north, the speed of the march was suddenly more than half slower than that of the "blitzkrieg" Priango, and the generals of the garrison attacked from the side a few times, but Liu Xin did not explain clearly, but just asked them to "wait and see".

It was not until two days ago that Liu Xin suddenly ordered the whole army to march quickly, speed up to Phnom Penh, and basically surround this place.

"Basically surrounded" means that there is still a hole left - the northwest corner is set aside.

And that night, a Cambodian army of about 20,000 people suddenly appeared in the northwest of Phnom Penh, and then fiercely entered the city.

At that time, the Jingang garrison of course refused to let go easily, and was about to mobilize troops to encircle and intercept, but suddenly found that the commander who was responsible for guarding the northwest direction went up to "meet the enemy" with great fanfare, but after a while, he was inexplicably defeated, and when he retreated, he also told the garrison army that was preparing to reinforce them that the enemy army was strong, and General Liu had already ordered not to block it.

What? Are you kidding?

The fierce and powerful Wai Yi Ding, a strong soldier who can almost be compared with the Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty, actually thinks that the Cambodian army is strong?

Also, my Jingang garrison is stationed near the sea, the food is full of fish and shrimp, and the treatment is not bad, but there are few night blind, you are clearly just pretending to come forward and make a noise and then "retreat", when we can't see it?

However, not only did the generals of Liu's army say this, but even Liu Xin's military order arrived-a very clear requirement that "all departments guard the camp and must not fight at night against the order."

The garrison could not, so they could only watch as 20,000 Cambodian troops entered the city, which greatly strengthened the defense force of Phnom Penh.

However, this grievance did not last long, and when the last Cambodian soldier entered the city and the gate in the northwest corner of Phnom Penh was closed, the garrison generals were startled by the sound of drums, which were drums.

Points?

Just now, when people didn't go in, they didn't do anything, and now that everyone has gone in, why do you want to attack the city late at night? I'm afraid I'm crazy!

But a general's order is a general's order, and no one in the Jingang garrison dares to disobey it - Liu Xin's current order is endorsed by Huang Zhiting, and Huang Zhiting ...... That's Madame, not to mention the master's token.

A group of generals of the Jingang Garrison rushed to the handsome tent with the anger in their hearts, only to find that Liu Xin was still dressed in military uniforms, and waved his hand at them with a smile: "You have worked hard, this play just now was quite good." "1800 Literature

Everyone was stunned.

Acting? Is Miss Liu talking about miscellaneous dramas?

However, Liu Xin did not explain, but asked the two generals of the Liu family army to spread out a picture of Kanyu, and walked forward to beckon everyone to come over. She held a horse whip in her hand, gestured at the Kanyu map, and said: "This is Phnom Penh, there were about 12,000 to 13,000 Cambodian troops in the city, of which 8,000 were Cambodian Imperial Forest Army, and the weapons and equipment were relatively good. The remaining four or five thousand people have all recently gathered in Phnom Penh, and the good and bad are mixed, and the combat effectiveness is expected to be relatively poor. ”

Then the horsewhip pointed at Pound Qingyang, and suddenly said a shocking word, saying: "Pound Qingyang should have been secretly taken over by Ruan Huang now, and there are probably 10,000 or 20,000 Cambodian troops in the city, who are undergoing reorganization." ”

Everyone's eyes widened, especially the three regiment commanders of the Jingang Garrison, after glancing at each other, they asked almost in unison: "Ruan Huang won the pound Qingyang so quickly?" ”

It is no wonder that they were surprised, because Kampong Chhnang at this time is actually likely to be the most defended city in Cambodia, even surpassing the capital Phnom Penh.

For Cambodia, the status of this place is even greater than that of Datong City of Daming - as I said before, Datong's level of urban defense during this period, at least in terms of hardware facilities, even surpassed Yanjing, because Datong had assumed the responsibility of a first-line hub to resist the Mongol attack for many years.

Kampong Chhnang also bears this responsibility, and unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was far stronger than Mongolia in terms of national power, Cambodia was weaker than Siam.

At the same time, there is no difference between the two sides of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian horsemen, and everyone is mainly infantry, supplemented by a small number of elephant soldiers, so many times when they fight, they fight for national strength. Therefore, in this case, it is not surprising that Kampong Chhnang, which is the political, economic and transportation hub of the northwest region of Cambodia, even surpasses Phnom Penh in terms of its city defense level.

After all, if you want to "keep the enemy out of the country", Kampong Qingyang is the only key point. Of course, all this is based on the premise that Siam is the number one enemy.

Since Kampong Thanh Duong is so strong, and the main force of the Cambodian army has long been gathered in the northwest, how did Nguyen Huang, whose actual strength is no more than half of the Cambodian army, conquer this place in a lightning bolt and successfully reorganize and surrender the army so quickly? Could it be that Ruan Huang's level of fighting is about to catch up with Huang Deputy Dutong?

Liu Xin smiled after hearing this, and announced the answer: "After our army took Priangko, Phnom Penh felt that it was in danger, and King Gita I issued an edict to Musali, the general of the northwest stationed in Kampong Chhnang, to let him lead his troops to Qin Wang, and as a result, civil strife broke out in Kampong Chhnang......"

"Huh?" A regimental commander of the Jingang garrison was surprised: "Phnom Penh is in danger, and King Musaliqin is the proper meaning of the question, how can there be civil strife?" ”

"That's a good question, it's interesting." Liu Xin said with a smile: "The Cambodian imperial court is in Kampong Ching Yang City, there are two important ministers, one Wen and one Wu, the military general is naturally the Northwest General Mu Sali, and the Wenchen is the Northwest Governor Balin Anlie. The two men had a disagreement over how many men King Musali should bring: Balinari Anrek was only willing to let Musali bring 10,000 people, while Musali accused Balinali of wanting to lead a heavy army to surrender to our army, so a war broke out between the two sides.

In the end, Musali was very powerful, and quietly took Bahrain Anlie in the General's Palace, and then allowed the defenders outside the city to enter the city in the name of Balinanlie, and at the same time convened the generals to discuss the strategy of facing the battle...... Naturally, this was easy to do, and the officials loyal to Bahrain Anrek were wiped out by Musari, and the defenders led by the original Bahrain Anlie in the city also changed owners, and Musali controlled the whole of Kampong Chhnang.

Then, Musali weighed the severity and probably thought that Kampong Thanh Duong could no longer unite to fight our army, so he simply did not do anything, and contacted the Nguyen Huang Division, who had just made a detour to the northwest of Kampong Thanh Duong, and asked for surrender.

Ruan Huang was a bold man, as you know, and he accepted Musali's surrender on the spot, and then urgently reported it to Huang Deputy Commander of Dingnan, and at the same time forwarded the news to me—this is why I was in Puliange at that time and suddenly refused to go north immediately. ”

Everyone will understand this reason as soon as they hear it: although Kampong Chhnang's Musali purged the people loyal to the governor of Bahrain Anje, but after such a major event, it will definitely take time for Kampong Ching Yang's internal calm to return, not to mention that he suddenly wants to surrender, there must be a lot of work to be done, otherwise if the power is not unified, the matter will not be done at all.

In this way, Liu Xin can't rush north, otherwise that Geeta I will be in a hurry to learn from Zhao Gou to give twelve gold medals to Musali in one day, and Musali will also be very difficult to do.

However, they still didn't guess correctly, because Liu Xin continued: "At that time, it was not impossible for Musali to surrender directly, but this person ...... Hey, he and Ruan Huang are really a natural pair, and they just want to do something 'big'. ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that there was still something to follow, and they were all interested, and hurriedly asked about the situation.

Liu Xin said with a smile: "These two people met quietly, and then when they combined, they felt that just one pound of Qingyang was not big enough, and they had to make it more earth-shattering." So they made a plan, hoping that my side would cooperate.

The key to this plan is to conceal the news that Kampong Chhnh Yang has surrendered to Phnom Penh, and then Musali personally led 20,000 elites back to Phnom Penh to reinforce Phnom Penh, and with the cooperation of our army, they fought back into the city through 'heroic fighting'......"

Only then did everyone understand, and one of the regiment commanders asked, "That's why just now the Wai Yi Ding made a big show of pretending to stop it, but then quickly retreated?" But why be stuck at such a point in time? The last general means that Musali rushed back to Phnom Penh first and entered the city to defend, wouldn't it be more difficult to have flaws? ”

"You're right, that's not easy to get flawed." Liu Xin said with a smile: "But you must know that we are doing this now, not only to let Musali smoothly 'return' to Phnom Penh, but more importantly, to build momentum for Musali." ”

"Building momentum for Mussali?" The regiment commander was a little puzzled: "What kind of momentum?" ”

Liu Xin took the horsewhip and pointed to Phnom Penh City on the map, pouted and said: "Look at this situation, is Phnom Penh already in danger?" In this case, Musali was still not afraid of danger, personally led his troops to King Qin, and at the same time defeated our army outside the city in one fell swoop and entered the city, such a battle feat was placed in front of Geeta I, what do you think Geeta I will think? ”

The head of the regiment instantly understood this time, and said with a shocked face: "Ah! Musari was originally the general of the northwest, and his prestige in the Cambodian army was very high, and now he has such an outstanding performance, Gita I is afraid that he will be regarded as a life-saving straw, and maybe he will hand over all the military forces of Phnom Penh City to Musali, hoping that he will be able to turn the tide ......."

Liu Xin smiled even more happily: "However, Musali is already our man, once we master all the military strength of Phnom Penh, then this Phnom Penh City, we can easily take it." ”
