Hard work will pay off, the same night, the master of one side will sleep heavily, and there are countless deserters under his command; The main general of one side is running on the road of caring for the soldiers, and the soldiers have a good rest, and when the new day comes, they will send out stronger combat power. From this point alone, the winner is decided!

The sky finally dawned, Yang Er, who was following Yang Chendong, had already been replaced to rest, and Hu Mang was busy making a bowl of hot porridge and sending it over, "Sixth Young Master, the rice porridge that has just come out of the pot, try it." ”

"Hmm." Yang Chendong took the rice porridge, took a sip and sighed: "It tastes good, and there are a lot of calories, which is very good." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Although the porridge was not made by himself, seeing that Yang Chendong was satisfied, Hu Mang smiled and grinned.

"By the way, did the rest of the fighters drink?" Yang Chendong just sighed and put his mind on the soldiers.

"They're all in line to drink. By the way, young master, the scouts have sent information that the enemy fled at least half of them last night, and it seems that today's battle should be much easier. When talking about business, Hu Mang also restrained his smile and changed it to a serious look.

"Well, this time the enemy is more stubborn, and the strength is quite reluctant, fighting with such an enemy will greatly help to improve the combat power and will of the warriors. But at the same time, this is also the main force of the Phnom Penh dynasty, and the intelligence of the Security Bureau said that defeating them is equivalent to breaking their backbone, and it will be much easier to conquer them next. When he said this, Yang Chendong raised his head and poured all the bowls of porridge into his mouth, and at this time he had a heroic and heroic look on his face, "Pass the order, and launch a general attack in half an hour!" ”

......

Deep in the city of Chuanlong. Compared with Yang Chendong's heroism and enthusiasm, Dahn had an angry and angry expression.

Who would have thought that after just sleeping and waking up, he realized that there were as many as 50,000 soldiers under his command in one night, and with the soldiers who died on the battlefield yesterday, he now has less than 50,000 available soldiers in his hands.

"What's going on? Didn't General Ben order that the southern gate should not be opened? Where did those people flee from? Could it be that 50,000 people jumped from the tower? Dahn asked, incredulous. If it was just dozens or hundreds of soldiers using ropes and other things to leave from the castle tower, he could still understand it, but how could he accept that 50,000 people ran away in one night.

The pro-soldier who was asked looked bitter. Knowing that the general was angry, he couldn't leave, and he could only be responsible for explaining here, so he replied cautiously at the moment, "General, it was the captain who guarded the southern city tower who took the lead in opening the city gate and fled, so..."

"Bastard!" Hearing this, Dahn raised his foot and kicked it in anger, and the half-kneeling soldier was unlucky, and he was kicked and kicked, and fell to the ground and wailed.

Regardless of the pain of his own soldiers, Dahn pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted, "What if 50,000 people escape? General Ben still has 50,000 men in his hands, which is more than the strength of the mercenaries, and I will fight them to the death today! ”

Dahn was arrogant when he said it, but the dozen or so soldiers who followed him all fell to their knees and said pleadingly, "General, no." Now the morale of the army is weakened, and the soldiers are tired, and they will not fight again. ”

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, and ask the general to take a step back first, wait for the heavy drums, he will fight again in the future, and he will definitely achieve a big victory."

"The forces of the enemy and us are out of balance, don't force yourself, General."

"Think twice..."

The pro-soldiers made all kinds of voices, and the purpose was the same, that is, to persuade Dahn to retreat, the army had no morale, and if they went up to fight now, they could only be hit hard. Yesterday, the 150,000 army in hand did not make the slightest advantage, and tens of thousands of people were lost and tens of thousands of people were injured, and they did not think that they could defeat the mercenaries with 50,000 people now.

The soldiers were not afraid of death, but thought that it was not worth dying in such a bloody battle. It would be better to take a step back and fight again after the army has been reorganized, and then the chances of victory will be much greater.

"You... You guys? Originally, he still looked at death as if he was at home, but the soldiers seemed to be in the same tone, constantly admonishing, but Dahn's momentum couldn't help stagnating, and then the whole person was like a puppet without spirit, and his head drooped.

How could Dahn not know that in such a situation, if he fought with mercenaries, it would be the courage of the horseman? But he was really unwilling in his heart. The 150,000 men under his command are the most elite forces of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, with more than three times the advantage of troops, and the defense of the city walls, plus they are more familiar with the terrain, this has not defeated the mercenaries, so he really doesn't know under what conditions he can win.

He had a feeling that if he gave up on this place, it seemed that there was little hope of winning another victory over the mercenaries. But if the war continues, how can we win if the troops are insufficient and morale is low?

If you retreat, you will hardly have any hope of victory.

war, the whole army may be wiped out.

This was a dilemma in the first place. But he still had to make a choice, Dahn sighed and fell to the ground with the saber in his hand, "That's it, that's it, even so, let's withdraw, inform the soldiers in the city, withdraw as much as possible, and then prepare to set fire, even if we leave, we can't make the enemy feel good." ”

Dahn finally made the decision to withdraw from the army, much to the delight of the soldiers. This proved that they didn't have to die, and they nodded in agreement one by one. But before they could give the order, suddenly the familiar sound of gunfire rang out, and then it became more and more dense, as if it was not far from them.

"It's not good, it's the mercenaries attacking, general, let's go quickly, otherwise I'm afraid it's too late." When the soldiers heard the gunfire that was getting closer and closer, their faces changed dramatically, and they rushed to Dahn's side, and there was a big picture that if you don't retreat, we will carry you back.

"Withdraw." Dahn wanted to say something harsh, but for some reason, when he heard the gunshots, he was a little scared in the bottom of his heart. This may be the psychological trauma left by yesterday's battle. But now that the enemy has attacked, he is not completely prepared here, and there is no point in fighting it except to die in battle, so it is better to withdraw now, and in any case he can save some strength.

Dahn fled, and when he left, he also gave the order for the whole army to retreat, but because the mercenaries launched an attack too early, and they attacked fiercely with ammunition, there were still many enemies who were glued and chased before they could escape, and in the end only 20,000 of the 50,000 escaped.

After General Dahn fled with his troops, the mercenaries did not pursue them, but began to clear the enemy forces in the city, and the battle was fought from morning to dark, and the situation was basically calmed down. Compared with yesterday, Leng Feng did not have any casualties today, and only three soldiers were slightly injured when they were attacked; Thirteen auxiliaries were killed and 100 wounded; More than 100 Lao mercenaries were killed and 1,000 wounded. Such a price was exchanged for capturing more than 40,000 enemies and killing more than 10,000 enemies.

Coupled with the harvest of yesterday's battle, in the first battle of Chuanlong City, a total of more than 30,000 enemies were killed and 50,000 enemies were captured. The 150,000 Phnom Penh Dynasty army was left behind 80,000 people, more than half of which were lost.

"Hurry up and search for what can be eaten and used in the city, the troops will repair while walking, rest for another night tonight, and advance to Suweng City early tomorrow morning." After Yang Chendong got the final battlefield statistics, he immediately issued a new military order.

Early the next morning, the main force of the mercenaries drove straight into Longchuan City, and only two days later came to the outside of Suweng City.

Su Weng City, one of the big cities in the territory of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, is an important three-pronged crossing into the national capital Phnom Penh City. From here, you can go north out of Kampong Cham City and enter Phnom Penh City, or you can go east to Polo Mian City and enter Phnom Penh City. It can be said that once this place is captured, where to go, the initiative will change hands, and Phnom Penh City will also face the possibility of troops coming to the city at any time.

The news spread like the wind to the south and into the city of Phnom Penh, and King Porama almost fell off the dragon chair in shock. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not behave very well, and some of them were pale, which was frightened; Some of their faces are flushed, which is angry; Others clenched their fists, they had the backbone to go to the front line and fight the mercenaries to the death.

The manifestations were different, but what was the same was that they all felt the presence of the crisis, the feeling that the knife was about to be held around their necks.

"Waste, waste, what is Dahn doing to eat, 150,000 people can't even stop the other party's 40,000 people? Didn't he call himself the number one general in our country? Is that how it behaves? After digesting the results of the defeat at the front, Polamo yelled.

Just vented the dissatisfaction in his heart, and the king's orders for the current situation were read out from his mouth.

First, send a large army forward to join General Dahn, who was arranging the city defenses in Suon. Although the general did not perform very well in the battle of Longchuan City, now is not the time to punish crimes, and he still has to use him to block the mercenary army.

Second, urge the two allies, Siam and Ava, to send troops quickly. If no more troops are dispatched, the Phnom Penh Dynasty will be gone, and this alliance will not exist.

At this moment, outside the southern gate of Vientiane, the capital of Lao Province, the army and flag of Siam can already be seen.

Earlier than King Paramo imagined, Siam had sent 100,000 troops to Vientiane City, and in their rear, in Udon Thani, the largest city in northern Siam, there were still 100,000 troops left, ready to be reinforced.

The leading general is named Godan, a representative of the young Zhuang faction of the Siamese army, who is only thirty-five years old this year, but is already the commander of an army of 200,000 people, and from this point of view, how favored he is, favored by the king.
