"Haha, hahaha... Yes! Hamo, who was laughing to himself, just wanted to ride a horse, when suddenly there was a pain in his back, and when he looked down, a sharp arrow was shining through his left chest, and his face quickly froze, and he fell under the horse with no strength.

This arrow was shot by Ku Po'er. Seriously wounded by an arrow, he came on horseback, and was the first to rush into the city gate, and with a wave of his sword, a Phnom Penh soldier who was about to close the city gate was cut to the ground.

The gates were ajar, giving the rest of the cavalry an opening to enter, and they took the opportunity to enter like great white sharks smelling blood.

"Someone, tie this person up." Thinking that he could be regarded as a war general who captured the enemy alive, Ku Xiao'er ordered someone to take it down, and then pushed the half-open city gate completely open with the others. At this moment, Division Commander Tian Hu arrived with the first and second regiments, and the army entered the city smoothly.

The bravery of the cavalry was not stoppable by the Phnom Penh soldiers, and with the speed of the war horses, there were soon corpses all over the city gates. The mercenaries entered the city, and as soon as the news came out, the soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty at the other city gates fled in frenzy, and at the moment they only hated their parents for missing two legs.

The Phnom Penh Dynasty officials, who were originally in charge of the city defense of Su Weng City, after hearing that the mercenaries suddenly entered the city, fled one by one, and some even left their families behind, just hoping to escape a way to live.

No one thought that such a strategic place as Su Weng City, the gateway to the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, would be given up in this way, and there was not even a decent resistance. It turned out that the speed of the attack of the 1st Division of the Cavalry of the World exceeded everyone's expectations.

Tian Hu entered the city, and soon occupied the four city gates one by one, as well as the granaries and warehouses in the city, and then they did not act rashly. There were 10,000 troops in the city, hundreds of thousands of civilians, and they were only a mere 6,000 people, and if something unexpected happened, the weakness of their forces would be revealed, and it might even lead to a strong counterattack. "Guard the four gates and important places, leave the rest of the place alone, and let them toss it."

The division commander gave the order, and the cavalry below naturally complied. In this way, it is the people of Phnom Penh who suffer in the city. When the Phnom Penh army, who had fled to various parts of the city for fear of death, found that the mercenaries had not carried out a large-scale manhunt and massacre, they did not think about how to rush out of the city, but how to burn and loot during this unsupervised time.

People have selfish desires, and they also have a dark side of psychology. In normal times, because of strict management, self-discipline is also necessary, and most people dare not show it. But now it is different, the law that pressed on their heads is gone, and not even a single person in charge has seen it, and they have become completely free men, and they can do whatever they want.

As a result, the army looted inevitably, the army robbed the people, the gangsters on the street robbed the people, and even the younger and stronger men formed a group of three or five to rob the people together, and those rich families in the city who did not have time to escape were not the first to be the first target.

There was chaos in the city, and there were shouts and shouts of killing everywhere, and many people were unjustly affected, and the only wealth in their families was found out, and the young women in the family, or the women with a little beauty, also became the targets of robbery.

The sound of crying and crying for mercy and complaining for mercy was endless, and on the streets, it was common to see groups of looters running back and forth, and sometimes they would have civil wars because of the uneven distribution of dirt, and the sound of swords clash was also continuous.

Standing on top of the tower of the four cities, you can see what happened in the center of the city as a rough idea, Tian Hu called the three regiment commanders to ask about the arming situation. But when it comes to civil strife in the city, no one mentions it.

This kind of civil strife is beneficial to the mercenaries, and the important thing is that after this civil strife, the people here hate these thieves far more than they hate them, and the mercenaries can also be stationed in the name of suppressing bandits, and take the wealth that was originally the common people from the hands of the bandits in a bright and bright way, without worrying about being blamed by others and the pressure of public opinion.

Half a day later, Leng Feng's 4th Division entered the city of Suweng; A day later, the first four battalions of auxiliaries entered the city; Two days later, Yang Chendong arrived at Suweng City under the protection of 1,000 guards, accompanied by 10 battalions of auxiliaries and 5,000 Lao troops of nearly 10,000 people.

The strength is constantly growing, after four days of burns and looting, Su Weng City is already in chaos, and on the streets, you can see the killed women, the elderly, and the bandit men under the cannibalism at any time. Some people's homes were even opened to show that they had experienced an inhuman robbery and that their homes were defenseless.

"It's time to wrap up. Pass the order down and close the net. Anyone who resists, kill! Yang Chendong stood on the tower of the southern city, looking at Su Weng City with beacon fires everywhere, with a hint of anger in his tone.

There will be this scene now, which is not unexpected by Yang Chendong, this may be a kind of human nature.

Before the war, Yang Chendong also thought about all kinds of possibilities, and even thought that under this battle, I was afraid that the Phnom Penh Dynasty would suffer heavy losses. But this is war, a game where you die or I live.

There is a saying that to be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. The story of the farmer and the snake was already known to Yang Chendong, so he would not let it happen. Otherwise, in the future or in the near future, it will be the Han people who will die.

The so-called I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, for the sake of the entire Han nation, for the dignity of the future, for the happiness of future generations, some sacrifices are necessary. It's like eating steamed buns alone, not only to eat meat, but also to eat noodles. It is the same with war, where the armies of the hostile forces will be wiped out, and the people of the hostile forces will also be affected, and this will inevitably happen.

"I hope the world can be peaceful in the future." Silently thinking in his heart, after today's war, Yang Chendong didn't dare to hope that the world here would be war-free in the future, but at least he could hold on for a few more years, and he could give the people more peaceful time and a good environment, and let them know that life was actually very good.

"Send a telegram to the lark and ask him to persuade the royal family of Phnom Penh to surrender, and after two days there is no news, we will launch a new round of attacks." The offensive situation was so smooth, especially the performance of the First Division of the Cavalry in the World was so good, it was a bit unexpected for Yang Chendong. Now it's time to force the other side to surrender.

......

Phnom Penh Dynasty, the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

The news that the mercenaries were attacking in a big way, and the news of conquering the important cities of Chiba, Kratie, Chuanlong, and Suong also spread throughout Phnom Penh, and for a time the people were panicked, and the social order began to be chaotic.

More than a year ago, the Phnom Penh dynasty experienced such a war. Fortunately, although some aspects of work have not been fully restored after the war, at least the people's lives are still guaranteed. And this time the army is obviously even larger than the last time. The experienced merchants in the city immediately began to hoard goods, and for a time the rice in Phnom Penh was expensive, which had left the people at the bottom with no food to eat, and even ordinary people would face the possibility of interruption at any time.

The power of the Phnom Penh Dynasty was still there, so it was naturally impossible to have a civil strife like in the city of Su Weng, but there was already chaos on the streets, so the city defense army also dispatched twice to arrest some people. But this is just a symptom but not a cure, when the people have no food to eat, even if they know that they will be killed, they will also rebel.

In the palace, King Parama sat on a high throne and was discussing countermeasures with his courtiers.

Compared to usual, Poramo at this moment had a clear look of anxiety on his face. This time, the mercenary was tantamount to an undeclared war, and while there were violations, they also caught him off guard. Judging from the battle reports from the front, the mercenaries sent very elite troops, not at all like the intelligence said that they used local armies like Laos.

"What are you doing to eat, what are you eating, pull them out and behead them to show the public." At the beginning of the meeting, Poramo did not hide his anger, and the first person to be stabbed was the official in charge of the intelligence system, because he did not give timely warnings, he became the first high-ranking official to be beheaded.

The cries for help and shouts of injustice still echoed in the hall, and the minister in charge of intelligence had been dragged out, and soon there were no shouts, and it was conceivable that he must be dead. For a while, the faces of many courtiers became very ugly. The king was really angry, and at this moment, if he said something wrong, he was likely to invite unwarranted disaster.

Killing people, Polamo's mood was not loosened because of this, he looked at the ministers with a glittering gaze, and said with some exhaustion, "Nearly 100,000 troops, in just a few days, completely defeated, most of them were killed and captured, and the cities were lost one by one, which of you will answer me, why is this?" And what do you usually say about the impregnable city defense? Who will explain? ”

In the face of the king's anger, many ministers bowed their heads. Everyone knows the strength of the Phnom Penh army, and it is no problem to scare ordinary people, but it is not a grade to fight with the elite of mercenaries. Not to mention, people are still raiding, they are not prepared at all, it is really normal for such a result to happen. What they were thinking about now was what the mercenaries wanted this time? Is it a deterrent like the last one? Or do you really want to annex the entire Phnom Penh Dynasty, just like the previous annexation of the Cochin and Lancang Kingdoms, and want to re-transform the country into a province?
