Chapter 620: Godan's Fear

Under the city of Vientiane, after the First World War, there was a brief peace.

The power of the mines frightened General Godan, and he was not prepared to launch any attack until the Han people in the rear were brought up. Anyway, he is the besieging party, and he originally held the initiative, and there is a large army of food and grass in the rear of Udon City, so there will be no problem in guarding it here for several months.

There was no need to go to war for the time being, so General Godan summoned the Kabuki who accompanied the army to hold a party in his military tent, and called his generals and General Fan Yuhai to enjoy the happiness between the wars.

Eight young women of splendid figures, dressed in sarcastic robes, twisted their waists in the tent, and the generals such as Godan sat around, laughing from time to time, and their eyes moved closely with the women, enjoying the visual feast brought to them.

Godan, who was the first to sit down, had already set his sights on the goal of warming the bed tonight, thinking that he must fight for three hundred rounds to get rid of the mildew on his body. And when he was in his heart, a pro-soldier quietly entered the account with an ugly look, walked into his ear, and muttered quietly.

"What?" Suddenly, Godan's face turned red, and the wine glass in his hand fell out with a thud, which attracted the attention of the other generals and the exclamations of the eight women.

"Scream, scream, call a fart, get out of here for General Ben." As soon as his hand was raised, there was a strong murderous aura in Godan's eyes at this time, as if anyone who dared to appear in front of him at this time and provoke him to be unhappy, he would kill people.

The eight Kabuki retreated in a panic, leaving only a few generals in the tent. Fan Yuhai's eyebrows raised high and then wrinkled deeply together, he had a feeling that something bad would happen next.

"General, what's going on?" A captain who belonged to Godan's absolute confidant asked with a confused expression.

"Something happened, just last night, the city of Udon was destroyed, my 50,000 troops were defeated and forced to evacuate to the south, and the grain, grass, swords and guns of our army in the city were burned, hateful." First, he said what he had just heard in a calm voice, and then a murderous aura burst out from his eyes, as if he was about to turn into a knife that was essentially a knife, as if he wanted to kill.

At first, there was silence in the camp, and everyone was digesting Godan's words, but soon a general said unbelievingly, "This is impossible, we are here, the four gates of Vientiane City are closed, and it is impossible to send any troops out to go around behind us." ”

"Yes, it is impossible for the Lao army to bypass us, and the armies of other countries are all our allies, and it is impossible for them to secretly attack us."

"Could it be a mercenary? But how did they get behind us, did they fall from the sky? ”

"We only launched the first attack two days ago, and those people took action at night, which is too fast, even mercenaries can't send troops in such a short time to bypass us in attacking."

"There are 50,000 of our troops in the city, even if they are mercenaries, if their forces are too small, it is impossible to occupy the entire Udon City, let alone inflict any heavy damage on our army, will this be the hands of other countries' armies?" The generals below are talking about all the possibilities, and then they are denied one by one.

Gordan kept a calm face and did not speak. The battle report said that the person who came was armed with an advanced repeating musket, and it should be a mercenary. But what does it mean that the battle report does not even state the number of troops of the other side? Did you forget to say it? It's absolutely impossible.

There can only be one answer, and that is that they still haven't figured out how many enemies there are. Nearly half of the 50,000 troops were blasted out of Udon Thani, and they didn't even know the number of enemies, what a terrible thing, doesn't that prove that the number of the opposing army is many, many? But wasn't the main force of the mercenary army taken away by the loyal and courageous princes of the Ming Dynasty and used to attack the Phnom Penh Dynasty? Where did the enemy come from?

Godan is meditating, the generals are also pondering, and even Fan Yuhai is also pondering.

The difference is that without getting accurate information, Fan Yuhai still locked the enemy on the mercenary at the first time. In his eyes, he is very clear about the military strength of the surrounding countries, and only the combat strength of the mercenaries can break the city overnight and defeat the 50,000 Siamese army.

But how did they end up there? You must know that they only appeared under Vientiane City two days ago, and only launched the first attack, why did the mercenaries react so quickly? It's less than five days before and after, and even a flyer can't do it, unless...

When he thought of the only possibility, Fan Yuhai's face changed greatly. Could it be that the mercenaries had already prepared and knew that they would raise troops to attack Vientiane City, so they planted heavy troops behind them early. So, as soon as the Siamese army attacked, they moved and launched an attack on the city of Udon Thani?

Yes, it must be so. If all this is true, this Ming loyal and courageous man is too calculating, and his attack is even more ruthless, and the military strength behind this person is far stronger than it appears. It even had the ability to divide its forces to attack the Siam and Phnom Penh dynasties respectively.

No! It should be more than that.

Even if he has arranged a backup hand here in Siam, presumably their other ally, the Kingdom of Ava, must have also arranged the means to prepare. "Shhh gasped, Fan Yuhai at this moment suddenly felt that Yang Chendong was very terrifying, this person is not only calculating, has a more outstanding military vision than ordinary people, but also has powerful firearms and military strength that does not know the depths, how can such an opponent be defeated?

Question marks flashed in his heart, and Fan Yuhai suddenly had an idea at this time, that is, to leave here faster. He challenged the mercenaries several times, challenged Yang Chendong, first led the Lancang Kingdom into the whirlpool of war, and then the Lancang Kingdom was destroyed. Then he started the idea of the Triple Alliance, but now that the Phnom Penh Dynasty and the Siam Kingdom have been hit to varying degrees, how could he not be remembered by Yang Chendong as the initiator?

If the other party really wants to deal with himself, will he be able to ride with those five thousand spirits and be safe and sound? No, such a person is too dangerous, he has to leave here first, at least before he has enough strength, he will not appear in front of Yang Chendong. And when it comes again, he must make all the preparations.

With a decision in his heart, Fan Yuhai didn't speak, and he didn't even mean to help General Godan analyze the situation, so he closed his mouth tightly.

"General, I don't think it's the time to talk about this, even if the grain and grass in Udon City have been burned, we must also be prepared to leave here, otherwise, once the enemy behind us and the enemy in Vientiane City attack us from both sides, how will we face it? Besides, if the army runs out of food and grass, it is bound to be in turmoil, and we must also take advantage of the fact that the soldiers below are not aware of it, quickly withdraw from here, and raise new food and grass for the war again. ”

One of the generals said something like this after analyzing the gains and losses, which also caused the other generals to nod their heads constantly, "Yes, general, we have to withdraw." ”

"Yes, it's to withdraw. We can't let them get caught on both sides. Godan also slapped the table and said, and then his eyes fell on Fan Yuhai's body, "General Fan, what do you think?" ”

Fan Yuhai really wanted to say, if you retreat now, aren't you afraid that the mercenaries will stop you halfway? But when he thought that if he had given a reminder, Gothan would have held out, so who knew what kind of combat methods the mercenaries would adopt, and once he really carried out a two-sided attack, wouldn't it have become very dangerous for him to be with Godan? If this is the case, it is better to let the other party leave, and when the time comes, whether there is a mercenary on the way or not, he will run away halfway, so that at least he is safe.

The world is big, and you are the biggest. Fan Yuhai nodded, "It's time to evacuate, otherwise, I'll take the five thousand cavalry of my department to evacuate last, just in case." Hey, speaking of which, my cavalry didn't play a role in this siege, and I was very ashamed. ”

I wanted to listen to Fan Yuhai's opinion, but I never thought that people would take the initiative to break the queen, which made Godan's eyes light up, and he sighed and said, "General Fan, it will be hard for you to do this, please rest assured, if once the mercenaries chase from behind, you only need to block it for a while, and I will definitely send troops to support you." ”

"Okay, thank you so much." Fan Yuhai got up and clenched his fists, with a sincere face. But he did think coldly in his heart, the devil believes that you will come to my aid when I am attacked.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Godan decided on the spot to withdraw the army now, and hurried overnight, so that they could resist to Udon Thani the day after tomorrow, and then they would strictly defend the city, and then ask His Majesty the King for food and grass to fight for reorganization.

All the generals were there, but they saved the matter of raising the account, and soon the order was given, and the generals went down to prepare.

An hour later, the army had already collected its tents and began to retreat backwards in the direction of Udon City, and then the other armies also marched one after another, forming a long dragon and leaving the city of Vientiane.

On the south floor of Vientiane City, General He Guang was holding the allocated telescope and looking at the scene in front of him.

Because of the landmines, Luan Xiaochen did not stick to the city tower, and there were still too many things in the city that he needed to deal with, so it was completely handed over to He Guang. Because of this, he was also confused when he saw that the enemy had begun to withdraw his troops.
