Chapter 915: Unilateral Massacre
can become the commander of the first cavalry division in the world, but it is not just martial arts. chose him among the crowd at the beginning, Yang Chendong also took a fancy to Tian Hu, who had studied in the academy, and he also knew a lot about the way of using soldiers. Now it seems that this person does have a set of ways to lead troops to fight.
The four of them quickly reached a consensus, and when it was dark, they entered the city by moonlight.
At this moment, Shangding City has long been under martial law, and it is curfew at night. It has long been stipulated that after dark, no one is allowed to go out, otherwise he will be punished for collaborating with the enemy. Therefore, even the people living in Shangding City only heard the sound of horses stepping on the ground, but they did not know how many troops were coming outside. Several Phnom Penh Dynasty spies sensed that something was wrong and sneaked out of the house to spread the news.
But people just went out on the street, and they were arrested by the security bureau that had been waiting for a long time, and they were arrested alive one by one.
The news that the army had gathered and was about to attack was tightly contained. In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Chendong met the officers of the First Division of the Tianxia Cavalry who came from the grassland. As soon as they appeared in the hall, a murderous aura unconsciously made up for it, causing Ling Daqiang, the commander of Leng Feng's Fourth Division, and his commanders to be shocked by their spirits, and blurted out unconsciously, "What a strong murderous aura." ”
"This must be an army that has been tested countless times on the battlefield."
"Our opponents are very good, we are under pressure."
"Hehe, don't be afraid, the more pressure we have, the more motivated we will be."
Although all the officers said it in private, their performance was still in Yang Chendong's eyes, and he coughed lightly, "I called you over today to let you meet each other and know each other, you must unite when you should be united on the battlefield, but you must also compete when you should compete." Remember, fighting a war is not about inviting guests to dinner, it is about showing real skills, and I am waiting to see your performance and ask you for credit. ”
"Yes." Everyone nodded to Yang Chendong in unison.
"Well, there is one thing I want to explain to you in advance, I have promised Luan Xiaochen, the governor of Laos Province, that if you want to win the Phnom Penh Dynasty in one to two months, you have to work hard, don't let me lose my word." With a chuckle, Yang Chendong set a date for the war.
None of the officers showed any doubt on their faces, as if this was a very reasonable request. However, General He Guang, who was fortunate enough to participate, was already shocked.
From the moment Tian Hu walked into the hall with the three officers just now, he felt an inexplicable nervousness, maybe it was because the murderous aura on these people was too heavy, and he couldn't figure out where the sixth young master got these killing machines, which gave him the feeling that it was like a sharp sheath that could be drawn out at any time, which actually made him feel like he was about to suffocate.
But that pressure was far less than the pressure brought to him by Yang Chendong's words. In one to two months, the Phnom Penh dynasty will be destroyed, which... How is this possible?
It's no wonder He Guang has such an idea, just like this task is in the hands of their Lao army, even if the military strength is full, I am afraid that it will be impossible to end the battle in two or three years, the Phnom Penh Dynasty is a country with 250,000 troops and 50,000 navy, with more than 10,000 people who want to do it in such a short period of time, how can it be done?
No matter how many questions He Guang had in his mind, the meeting still went on as usual. "All the food, grass, weapons and other materials you need are in the warehouse in the city, and you can send troops to get them in a while, and take as much as you can, because once the war starts, our logistics supply will not be as fast as the pace of your attack, and at that time, all your needs will have to be taken from the enemy."
Hearing this, the officers of the Fourth Division of Leng Feng and the First Division of the First Cavalry Division of the World all showed extremely excited expressions on their faces. If they could fight and seize the military supplies they wanted in the occupied territory at will, then their last doubts would be gone.
Feeling the excitement of these officers, Yang Chendong just smiled and said nothing. He didn't even ask the people not to hurt by mistake. Although the Phnom Penh Dynasty is inseparable from the Han nationality from the perspective of historical origins. However, in recent years, Hermes-Epitek has been regarded as a slave by them, a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. Just this blockade has already reported from the Security Bureau that an unknown number of Han people have died under their butcher's knives.
In the face of a different nation, Yang Chendong will naturally not be polite. He never thought he had a big heart, nor did he think it was the right thing to repay grievances with virtue. If this is the case, how should a virtuous person be rewarded? Do you repay virtue with resentment?
As for whether or not any Hermes-Epitek would suffer losses in this battle, this was inevitable. But as long as the Han people are smart enough to shout the slogan that they are Han people, then whether it is Leng Feng, mercenaries under his rule, or local armies like the Lao Army led by He Guang, they will never dare to kill them privately, otherwise once the investigation is confirmed, the severity of the punishment will directly interrupt their future, and even their lives.
Less than an hour before midnight, a quarter of the storehouses in the city were gone. Yang Er has the experience of being in charge of logistics, and this time he was also helping to check the matter, when he saw that there were still so many combat readiness necessities thrown in the warehouse and no one took them, he made a report to Chendong, "Young master, the Fourth Division of Leng Feng and the Cavalry Division only took five days' rations, and most of the military materials for some heavy equipment were also piled up in the warehouse." ”
"Hmmm! It seems that they are going to fight for war. After hearing this, Yang Chendong analyzed the thoughts of these officers. It's okay to carry less heavy objects with them, which can make their speed play to the extreme, which also makes Yang Chendong have great curiosity, and he is looking forward to seeing the excellent performance of these two elites.
The supplies were distributed to the soldiers one by one, and then everyone began to check the weapons and equipment half an hour before the battle to make final preparations.
The guns were wiped and wiped, and the horses were fed to a half-full, which would be more conducive to the horses to exert their speed. It was fast approaching midnight.
"Let's go." An order was given, and the east and west gates of Shangding City were immediately opened, and then an army of 8,400 men rode out of the city, and an army of 6,000 people rode out of the city quietly.
They avoided the southern gate, which was closest to the enemy, and when they had all passed from the east and west cities to Dingcheng, the sound of iron horses trampling on the ground rumbled. One man and two horses, a total of 12,000 war horses, went straight to the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty in front of them like a dragon entering the sea.
"They're moving so fast, everybody is speeding up." Feeling the trembling sensation coming from the earth, Ling Daqiang, the commander of the Fourth Division, also shouted, and then the army of more than 8,000 bicycles took advantage of the moonlight to quickly kill the first blockade line ten miles away from Shangding City.
Speaking of short marches, it is a plain, and no one will be a match for cavalry. What's more, the first division of the cavalry in the world, which soldier is not a master of equestrianism? They leaned lightly on their horses to relieve the wind resistance, and quickly and quickly approached the first line of blockade of the Phnom Penh army.
This blockade has been around for almost half a year. At the beginning, I was still nervous for a while, for fear that the mercenaries would suddenly kill, but when the time passed day by day and there was no, everyone unconsciously relaxed their vigilance.
Like tonight, most of the Phnom Penh Dynasty soldiers are still asleep? Suddenly, I felt the earth tremble, and the sleepy eyes of the alert people were relaxed, and they got up from the beds in the barracks, but most of the soldiers were still lying in the bed, and it was still late winter and early spring, and the temperature outside the bed was still very cold.
"One regiment on the left, two regiments on the right, three regiments in the back, impact!" Division Commander Tian Hu took the lead, and when he saw that the enemy barracks with torches were already less than two miles away, he issued a slogan to charge and kill the enemy.
When the order was issued, the 1st Division of the 1st Cavalry Division of the World quickly changed its formation, and the cavalry soldiers of the 1st and 2nd regiments also held swords in one hand and shields in the other to prevent the enemy from counterattacking with bows and arrows from a long distance.
The distance of two miles passed by in a daze, when the distance was 100 meters away from the enemy, the opponent's bow and arrow really shot, but it was only a sporadic bow and crossbow, which was used to the cavalry warriors of the Mongolian strong bow, such a bow and arrow attack was no different from tickling, or blocking with a shield, or slashing with a sword, and soon let them rush to the top of the formation, followed by the galloping of war horses, the war horses chopping, and one after another Phnom Penh soldiers who had no time to react were cut down to the ground.
Nearly 500 Phnom Penh troops who were on duty at night were killed in just one shot. When the cavalry soldiers rushed to the enemy camp and found that most of the enemy tents were still not moving, the commander of the first regiment and the commander of the second regiment calmly gave the order to throw the long hook and pull the tent.
The so-called throwing long hooks, pulling the military tent refers to the cavalry throwing out a long hook and hanging it on the four corners of the military tent, and then four groups of war horses galloped in different directions, forcibly tearing the military tent apart at the fastest speed, and exposing the enemy in the military tent in front of him without reservation.
The cavalrymen, who had long been trained and drilled for a long time, formed a group of four, and soon one by one the military tents were forcibly pulled up, and countless Phnom Penh soldiers were exposed to the moonlight, and most of them were not even dressed neatly, let alone what weapons they would hold in their hands.
It was a one-sided slaughter, an unprepared, passive battle. The 5,000 soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty on the first blockade line were all killed in less than half an hour, and not even a single one was left alive.
