There are people at the top who are panicking, some who choose to contact the envoy directly to prepare to surrender, some who are hesitant to take a look, and some who are staunch supporters. For example, it is like Longzi, Ta Nong Si and others.

As the governor of Laos Province, Luan Xiaochen saw all this in his eyes, and in addition to constantly sending people to capture the spies of Siam, he also made preparations for the defense of the city. Now he has a cold front company, two auxiliary battalions and 10,000 Lao mercenaries in his hands, if he uses it well, it is not impossible to hold the city.

Luan Xiaochen had no intention of asking Yang Chendong for help. The Solangon family's affairs were originally something he agreed to make a big deal about. What's the matter, now you can't hold down the field, do you want to find the adult behind you? The proud Luan Xiaochen couldn't do such a thing. He is actively preparing for war, and is also considering whether he can get the 7,000 people who signed up to join the army before to go to the city tower, these people have gone through a seven-day military training, although they are still recruits, but they are not without any foundation, at least they know what military orders are and what orders are forbidden.

The situation in Vientiane City became tense, but most of the staff and officials of the provincial government were not afraid, they did not believe in Governor Luan, but in the Sixth Young Master. Even if this battle was commanded by the Sixth Young Master, then he would not fail to consider the fact that Siam might send troops, and now that the news from here has spread, it won't be long before the mercenary reinforcements will arrive.

Everyone seemed to believe that Yang Chendong would draw troops from the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but there was no news coming from left to right, and the time was getting longer and longer, and people's hearts began to float.

Under Chuanlong City, the main force of the mercenary army, which was originally held by everyone's hope, is gathering here at this moment. Yang Chendong was also standing in front of the sand table of the temporary headquarters, with a relaxed expression on his face, without showing the slightest worry because the offensive and defensive battle of Vientiane City was about to start.

"Are all battalions and companies ready for pre-war mobilization and preparation?" Yang Chendong withdrew his gaze from the sand table, turned around lightly, and looked at Luo Po, the second head of the Leng Feng, Wu Sheng, the head of the third group, and Lu Zhuo, the head of the auxiliary corps, who were standing behind him.

"It's all ready to take the city at any time." Luo Po said with great interest on behalf of the officers. And after he finished speaking, his face showed a struggle and hesitation, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What's wrong? Just say anything, swallow and spit out, where is it like a regimental officer. Noticing the changes in Luo Po's face, Yang Chendong looked directly at it, and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Yes." Luo Po straightened his body, "Sixth Young Master, there is news that Siam has sent troops, and they want to attack Vientiane City, is it true?" ”

"It's not something you have to worry about, you just need to fight the battle in front of you." Although Yang Chendong knew that this was the officers who were concerned about the overall situation, Yang Chendong still refused without hesitation. Do things with one heart, on the battlefield, a small negligence can lead to extremely serious consequences, even so, to think about what to do with those things that are beyond the reach of the whip.

"Yes." Luo Po, who was criticized by Yang Chendong, replied with a straight face. He just wanted to remind the Sixth Young Master, and he also knew that the most important thing now was how to defeat the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. Luo Po was criticized, but Yang Chendong knew that this was not his meaning alone, but all the officers were afraid that they would have such thoughts, it seemed that if he didn't say the last two words, he was afraid that these people would inevitably be distracted and it would be difficult to concentrate. "Hey, okay, over there in Vientiane City, Young Master Ben has already made arrangements, so don't worry. If you are really worried, it is better to think about how to defeat the Phnom Penh army faster, as long as the war here is resolved, we can naturally slap Siamese in the face in the face, so that they can know what will happen if they take the initiative to provoke us. ”

"Yes, defeat Phnom Penh and fight back against Siam." These regimental officers in the command headquarters all spoke without hesitation.

"Alright, now that everyone is ready, now face the table, and launch a general attack in an hour." Yang Chendong raised his right arm, revealing the delicate military watch on his wrist. At the same time, several regimental-level officers also looked at the military table on their wrists.

Chuanlong City.

It is not a big city in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but because of its unique geographical location, it is next to the Mekong River, and after the Kratie Metropolis, it has become a strategic location, and it has also become one of the front gateways to Phnom Penh, the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

At this time, the 150,000 troops led by General Dahn were guarding here, and General Hun Sen, who had retreated here, had been kidnapped and sent back to Phnom Penh by him. 100,000 defeated soldiers, this crime is afraid that this general will suffer.

Once Hun Sen is convicted, Dahn's influence and strength in the army will rise to a new level, after all, there is no one to compete with him, and he deserves to be the boss.

The army entered the city and took over the defense line of the entire city, and Dahn also became an uncle-like existence, and after inspecting the defense of the castle tower, he returned to his temporary residence, and then called a group of kobuki to sing a small song, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked very leisurely.

He has figured out the situation of the mercenaries these days, and there are only more than 40,000 people in the full battle, and the number of troops is more than three times that of the other party, and there are strong cities to defend, what is he afraid of? Even if the other party has some advanced muskets and artillery, he is not a vegetarian, and he has already arranged an inspection team of 10,000 people, as long as the soldiers do not flee, with the advantage of numbers, he is not afraid of mercenaries.

Of course, what gave Dahn confidence was because Siam had already sent troops. He only needs to hold back the main force of the mercenaries now, and once the allies succeed, the mercenaries will not be able to retreat.

Now his task is to defend Longchuan City is victory, and the terrain here is very good, the west city gate is against the Mekong River, and it is impossible for the army to be stationed. The south gate is the place leading to the hinterland of the Phnom Penh dynasty, and there will be no enemies, so as long as you hold the north and east gates, and then wait until the day comes, the mercenaries will retreat. As for whether the other party will attack these two city gates, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. With such thick walls and so many soldiers, can the other party still fly up? Besides, even if they relied on the advantage of artillery to enter the city, if the two sides fought together, the power of the artillery would be limited, and it would be time for them to rely on their numerical superiority to counterattack.

Dahn is very comfortable, especially after Hun Sen was also tied up by him and sent back to the royal capital Phnom Penh, there is no one in the army who can compare with him, the feeling of completely letting go, the momentum of saying the same makes him have a sense of fluttering, as if the world is in his hands.

This feeling disappeared until the ground shook under your feet suddenly.

Boom boom... Boom, boom, boom.

Under the attack of artillery, the entire Chuanlong City trembled, and the tiles on some houses fell to the ground like rain, and the people in the streets and alleys were frightened by this huge roar, and ran around like headless flies, as if only by doing so could they reduce the fear in their hearts.

"Report to the general, the mercenaries have begun to attack the city, the north gate... Broken. Dahn was also frightened by the deafening sound, and as soon as he got up and walked out of the courtyard, one of his own soldiers fell to his knees before him, and reported to him a bad news that he had not expected at all.

"What? The North Gate is broken? It was like being hit by a boulder, and Dahn felt his eyes go black and his legs went limp. Fortunately, the pro-soldier saw the opportunity quickly, and stretched out his hand to support him, "General, general..."

"What are you shouting, I'm not dead yet." In the midst of the shaking, Dahn came to his senses again, and then shouted like a loud shout: "Immediately send troops to reinforce the north city gate according to the plan, and take the city gate back no matter what." ”

At this moment, Dahn knew that he still underestimated his opponent. Originally, I thought that the outside world said that the mercenaries were so powerful only because those opponents were too weak, otherwise, why would they make a sneak attack in the face of the 100,000 army led by Hun Sen. If you really have the strength, why not fight a battle in the open?

On the battlefield, to underestimate the opponent is to pay a heavy price, even the price of life.

After shouting this, Dahn looked at the soldier still standing in front of him, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Go and pass on your life, and at the same time order the inspection team to go up for me, but if there is anyone who escapes, kill!" ”

The army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, which was aware of it later, moved. As soon as the general gave the order, tens of thousands of soldiers headed straight for the north gate, trying to regain control there.

At the north city gate, it was the headquarters of the three regiments and three battalions of Changchun Yang who attacked here. Not long after he was qualified for the post of battalion commander, this time he received such an opportunity to take the lead, accompanied by not only four hundred cold front soldiers from three battalions, but also two auxiliary battalions, totaling more than 1,000 people.

Under the precise bombardment of the caliber 100 mm mortar, the north gate was broken like paper paste, and then it was just a fierce charge, and it came to the north city, and the line of sight became wider at this moment.

"Battalion commander, the enemy is about to counterattack, and there are still many miles." The company commander Guo Feng smiled. When they charged just now, they were the vanguard of the vanguard, and they were the first to rush to the north city gate, and they killed the most enemies, but it didn't seem to satisfy him, and from time to time he would come forward with a squad machine gun.

Looking at his capable subordinates, with a murderous expression, Chunyang smiled and asked, "What?" The formation just now didn't scare you, there is a thousand-strong team of the enemy here, and you are not satisfied with killing so many people? ”
