Chapter 608: Blood Slaughter in Ding City
The situation in Laos Province began to fluctuate, especially the accusations against Governor Luan Xiaochen were better than day by day. Yang Chendong, who recommended Luan Xiaochen, did not say a word at this time, which made many officials puzzled. They even went to the depths of the palace together, wanting to meet the sixth young master and express their opinions. But none of them were approved.
In fact, Yang Chendong himself is no longer in Vientiane City, let alone Laos Province, how can he meet those subordinate officials. At this moment, no one knew that the Sixth Young Master had already appeared in front of Shangding City by the Mekong River.
"If this is where things begin, then the army will start attacking from here." Yang Chendong, who said this sentence with a sigh, looked at Shangding City five miles away without notice, his arm was slightly raised, and then fell, and on both sides of him, there were countless cold fronts and auxiliary soldiers rushing towards Shangding City.
All without warning. At noon, many soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty were still basking in the sun on the city tower, and suddenly they saw patches of military green from far and near, and their brains were short-circuited at the first time, and then impossible thoughts came out.
"Enemy attack!" I don't know who shouted first, and then chaos began to rise on the castle tower. Soldiers began to look for long-range weapons of attack, such as bows and arrows.
Shangding City, which had been peaceful for many years, was like suddenly facing a desolate beast, completely unprepared, and before waiting for the arrival of the cold fronts, it would first mess up.
"Close the gates of the city quickly, and immediately send someone to ask for help from Kratie Castle." The chief of the hundred households guarding the city shouted loudly, and after finding that no one listened to him at all, he simply went downstairs, found a fast horse and rushed out to the city gate on the other side.
The idea of the head of the hundred households is very simple, there is an army of 100,000 led by General Hun Sen in the city of Kratie three hundred miles behind him, as long as the news is sent there, he will be a great achievement.
It's still the same sentence, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Just as the head of the hundred households had just ridden out of the city, he was feeling the sound of the wind constantly whistling and flying towards his ears, when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then the whole person fell to the ground with a thud.
By inertia, the centurion flew out, and by the time he landed on the ground, he was already out of breath, and he had been shot in the chest just before that.
Even if it appeared suddenly, and he had been preparing for so long, how could Yang Chendong let the news get out? As early as when the attack was ordered, the entire Shangding City was covered with mercenaries outside the four gates, and before the battle began, this was already a dead city.
The north gate is the main attack, and the other three city gates are the main defense. But all the people who rushed out of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, whether they were powerful people, soldiers, or ordinary people, they ushered in bullets that were whistling one after another.
With a spear in hand, who in the world can be defeated!
With a strong fighting spirit and self-confidence, the mercenaries rushed into Shangding City from the north gate without encountering any decent resistance, followed by bursts of dense gunfire, and the slaughter began!
But all the people of the Phnom Penh Dynasty who are still running around on the street, no matter what their status, are suffering the wrath of the mercenaries. The gunshots rang out one after another, and after only half an hour, the pungent smell of blood wafted through the air, and it could not be dissipated for a long time.
The streets were already strewn with corpses and rivers of blood, but the mercenaries still had no intention of stopping. Unless you stay in your own home and don't go out, as long as you come to the street, you will face merciless slaughter. Such a move had not been done by mercenaries before, but this time with the slaughter of the Solangon family on the Mekong River, they launched a bloody revenge.
The mercenaries have to tell the world the truth and warn everyone what a terrible thing it is to be an enemy of them, and how wrong it is.
The massacre lasted for two hours, and there was not a single person from the Phnom Penh dynasty in sight on the street, so they stopped what they were doing, took a breath, and the next work was carried out by 20,000 Lao mercenaries, who began to push the door door from house to house, they were not killing, but just called out the surviving people, let them see the scene of this mountain of corpses and blood while cleaning the battlefield together.
Almost all of the Phnom Penh people who were driven from their homes turned pale and then vomited. They promise that this scene will be imprinted in their minds and will never be forgotten.
"Clean up the battlefield, gather valuable things, and arrange for a thousand-strong team to drive the wagon back to Laos Province. Then blast all the people out of Shangding City, take the Jingguan, and the others rest for one night, and set off for Kratie City early tomorrow morning. Yang Chendong issued several orders one after another. He did not kill all the Phnom Penh people, but to deliberately let go of a group of people, he believed that these people will become the best mouthpiece, he believes that it will not be long before this bloody scene will spread throughout the Phnom Penh Dynasty, he wants to completely deter the opponent when the war has not started, so that their morale will drop at the same time, but also from the bottom of their bones. In this way, when the two armies meet, it will be easier for them to win the war.
Kratie Castle.
One of the big cities at the north gate of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, it is another major gateway outside the city of Shangding.
At this moment, there are soldiers standing bravely in this city, not only in the city, but also outside the city and the military camps are connected, one by one, and it seems that there is no end from a distance.
Hun Sen's 100,000-strong army is stationed here.
According to the customized plan, Hun Sen, as the vanguard, was to rush to the city of Shangding as soon as possible, and then go north along the Mekong River to directly capture the city of Ban Sai in Lao Province. However, the sudden news from within Laos Province made Hun Sen hesitate.
He hadn't forgotten what King Poramo had told him when he came, and this was the time to show his muscles, and it would be best if he could avoid going to war with the mercenaries. After all, in the face of powerful mercenaries, they have no advantage other than the number of troops.
And now there is an accident, Laos Province seems to act as if what happened before, in such a situation, if they still take the initiative to attack the territory of the other side, it is not to defend the country, but to take the initiative to provoke. This is tantamount to forcing the mercenaries to fight them.
Thinking that this must not be what the king wanted to see, Hun Sen camped his army in Kratie City without asking for instructions. But he sent people back to Phnom Penh to ask for the king's command.
originally thought that this time as a pioneer, he would first fight to the death with the mercenaries, or even fill the war with human lives. But I didn't think that the mercenaries were instigated, which suddenly made the 100,000 army elated, during the stationing, all the soldiers drank alcohol every day and ate meat, anyway, this time the military expenditure was more sufficient, most of them were provided by the magnates, so don't eat for nothing, don't drink for nothing.
It's like a picture of a victory in celebration, that is, Hun Sen didn't say anything after he knew, he was under so much pressure before, and now that the pressure is gone, it is time for the soldiers to relax.
For this reason, Hun Sen was supported by most of the soldiers, and his popularity skyrocketed in a short period of time, and he was about to be compared with the first general, Dahn.
While he was still wandering through this vanity, Hun Sen did not know that danger was approaching. The main force of the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the 1st Leng Feng Division had already arrived outside the city of Kratie, ready for all preparations before launching a fierce attack.
After two days of marching, 300 miles were walked at your feet. Then, after another afternoon's rest, when it was dark, the regiments, battalions, and companies began to slowly surround the 100,000-strong vanguard army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty according to the military orders they had received.
It was already dark, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty military camp at this moment was indeed like day. Countless bonfires were erected, and mutton hung on each wooden shelf, crackling under the scorching fire, and the fragrance spread far away.
Hun Sen, as a pioneer general, sat on a makeshift wooden mat, with wine in front of him and beautiful women around him, laughing heartily with a glass of left and a glass of right. Really make life proud, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon perfect performance.
Beside Hun Sen, there were some captains and some powerful commanders, who formed a large circle with wooden mats, and in the circle, two soldiers with good skills were practicing against each other.
In a strong army, there are also occasionally one or two weak warriors who are afraid of death. In the same way, there are good fighters in a weak brigade. The two soldiers who were engaged in a head-to-head competition were the best of the Phnom Penh army, and they each showed what they had learned, and their wonderful performances attracted bursts of applause from the other soldiers.
"Haha, good, worthy of being an excellent son in my vanguard army, come here, reward!" Seeing the two soldiers fighting so fiercely, Hun Sen was infected by it and shouted loudly. Then the soldiers beside him walked up with the silver and gave it to the two warriors who were performing.
The two warriors who had won the money quickly withdrew and were replaced by others. There are benefits that should be shared by everyone. And the wonderful fights here also attracted more onlookers and spontaneous applause from the soldiers.
The smell of meat and the lively performance in front of the Chinese army's big tent not only attracted the attention of most of the soldiers, but also many of the soldiers who were in charge of the perimeter guard also sneaked over. They didn't think that this was a violation of military discipline, because they had all heard that Laos Province was instigated, and they seemed to be afraid of the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and they were deep in the heart of the country, how could there be enemies here?
Almost every soldier has the same idea, the barracks are chaotic, the military discipline is like a fictitious, and it is the current 100,000 barracks.
The evening breeze was still blowing, and a danger that could determine their life and death was slowly approaching, but not one of the 100,000 people was alert, and they were still drinking, eating, chatting, and talking about things of interest to them.
