But all this changed with the arrival of a message the next day, and at dusk the next day, a news suddenly came that no one in Phnom Penh had expected, just this morning, the mercenary ships suddenly opened fire on the southern port of Kampot of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and under the shelling, all the defenses on the port were destroyed. Half an hour later, the mercenaries began to land, and an hour later they had captured the entire port, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty Admiral Bang Bu was killed in battle, and now the army was stretching south to the Weren district of the Kep region.

In other words, after the city of Suon in the north, the war in the south has also begun, and it is sweeping at a very fast speed. From the first message for help was received at dusk, there would be a message for help every half hour, and the south was in danger.

At this point, they finally understood the reason for the two-day deadline. It's just that I didn't say hello to the lark before, and the other party also gave an answer?

Prime Minister Ding Dingwei was urgently summoned to the palace, looked at King Borama, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Your Majesty, at that time you sent someone to tell the lark how he answered." ”

He replied that he understood, and that didn't mean that he had acquiesced to this fact? Poramo looked puzzled.

"Ahh Your Majesty, we have fallen for them. He only said that he knew, and did not say that they would stop attacking Your Majesty. Ding Dingwei's face changed after a moment's thought.

"What? He dared to lie to me, didn't he want to live? Gritting his teeth, Polamo's face was angry, and his fists were clenched extremely tightly, but he still didn't make up his mind to kill the lark. There is no way, the current situation is that the mercenaries have the upper hand, and he can't act rashly.

"Your Majesty, the only way to blame is not to blame anyone, but the war in the south may soon reach the royal capital, and we must find a way to stop them. It's better to open the treasury immediately and recruit new soldiers. Once again, Dindingway stirred up the Treasury.

Borama wanted to nod his head and agree at this moment, but thinking that it was not impossible to do it now, he shook his head again and said: "The new army must be formed, but I'm afraid it's too late, in this way, isn't there still 150,000 troops in the royal capital who have not rushed to the northern front?" Why don't we mobilize 100,000 to reinforce the southern front first, and then we are waiting for new troops? ”

At this time, Bolomo still didn't want to move his old book, and Ding Dingwei wanted to persuade him again, but considering the urgency of the military situation, he had to nod and say, "Yes, then do what Your Majesty wants." ”

Originally, the troops on the northern front were not very sufficient, and the situation forced them to send another 100,000 troops to the southern front, and there were no reinforcements on the northern front in a short time. But this news, General Hun Sen, who was heading to Suon City with an army of 50,000, did not know, and at this time he still fantasized about whether he could make the first contribution.

It has already been reported that the main elite of the mercenaries this time is only about 15,000 people. The moment he first got the news, Hun Sen was even thinking about whether the news was true, because according to the previous record, they had lost 100,000 soldiers. If this is the case, are the 100,000 people eating dry food? was beaten by more than 10,000 people and had no power to fight back?

"In any case, this time we are going to turn defeat into victory, and we are going to make the first contribution. In this case, order the army to speed up, and do not let the mercenaries break through the 50,000 troops that came before us one by one, in which case we will have no superiority in strength. Hun Sen looked at the map in his hand, looking at the speed of the troops, and his face was anxious. It's just a distance of three hundred miles, and the army has been walking for more than two days, and he hasn't even reached half of the distance, although he is saying that he is bringing infantry, but this speed is really too slow.

The general's order was given, and the 50,000-strong army sped up and rushed straight to the city of Suweng. At this time, after seven days of chaos in Suweng City, everything finally calmed down.

This is still Yang Chendong's countermeasure, with the people against the people, this is something that no one else has used, and no one has thought about it, but it has succeeded in his hands.

When the people of Shangdingcheng, Zhiba City, Jujing City, and Chuanlong City helped the mercenary army to carry out transportation and came to Suweng City, Yang Chendong gave an order to the more than 100,000 people who followed, that is, let them persuade the people in the inner city center of Suweng City, telling them that as long as they surrender, there would be no more danger to their lives, not only that, but if they were willing to do things for the mercenaries, such as transporting booty and supplies, carrying the wounded, persuading people to surrender, cleaning the battlefield, burying the remains of dead soldiers, etc. and all shall have money.

No one is going to be unhappy with money. Especially the people who followed the mercenaries at the earliest, they found that as long as they were obedient, the other party would never scold them, and even nodded when they met to show friendship, which is the treatment and respect that the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty would not give them. But now, the mercenaries gave it to them.

Just because this article can be respected, regarded as a person, and there is a considerable amount of silver, everyone's hearts begin to favor mercenaries.

The people are simple in their own right, and they are the ones who know the good and the bad best. As long as whoever is good to them, they will be good to whoever they are, and on the contrary, even if they are of the same clan, if they are very oppressed, they will also stand up and resist.

More than 100,000 people benefited from the mercenaries, and after they entered the city of Suong, their role was fully played. The same people have more common language, and under their word of mouth, many people have been moved, some troublemakers have been arrested, and the law and order in the city is very good. The auxiliary soldiers also solved the problem of eating for the people by opening warehouses and releasing grain, and both public security and order in Suweng City were restored to the right track.

And from the entry of the people, the city went from chaos to order, and it took only two days to do it, looking at this result, many people admired Yang Chendong who came up with this idea, and Yang Er patted his ass in front of him more than once. "Young master, if you want to say that I will serve you in the war, but if you want to say that Yang Er will obey you even more when you govern a place. It seems that there is nothing in the world that can stump you, you are really the reincarnation of a god, you are..."

"Alright, alright." Sycophants will vomit if they hear too much. Although Yang Er said from the bottom of his heart, Yang Chendong still interrupted him and asked, "The First Division of the Cavalry of the World and the Fourth Division of Leng Feng are almost rested." ”

"It's been a long time since I rested. These days, the things in the city didn't let them do anything and worry about it, they were just resting. Hehe, young master, Master Tian and Master Ling have come to you several times, and they have all asked to fight. Yang Er smiled.

"Then, the young master will give them a chance now, tell them that there are 50,000 enemies outside the city, and how to clean them up will be solved by the two division commanders themselves, and this young master will not participate." Yang Chendong nodded. Before, he counted several cities and defeated more than 100,000 enemies in a row. It's easy to say, but it's actually just a matter of fighting fast and slow, so many soldiers don't get a good rest. Taking advantage of the chaos in Su Weng City, he gave the two divisions enough time to rest, and now that the blades are almost sharpened, it is time to unsheath.

Yang Chendong ordered, and the 4th Division of Leng Feng and the 1st Cavalry Division went out of the city after dinner, and it could be seen that they were going to carry out a night attack again.

In ancient times, armies usually suffered from night blindness due to nutritional reasons, which made them have too many disadvantages whether they marched at night or fought at war. But mercenaries are different, nutrition is always matched, with the base of Chiji City, they are not short of money when they open up business, not only will night blindness not appear in them, but also because of frequent night training, they are very good at night combat.

In this way, on the same night, two divisions, which together amounted to less than 15,000 men, launched a fierce counterattack against the Phnom Penh army stationed ten miles in front of Suweng City.

When the sound of guns and cannons rang out, when the iron cavalry came on the ground, the 50,000 unprepared Phnom Penh army was severely damaged. Although they all sent troops on duty at night, they were simply vulnerable in front of the two elite main divisions that attacked fiercely. The 50,000 troops were broken apart, and by the next day, their corpses were all lying on the ground, as well as all kinds of weapons and equipment and rations thrown everywhere.

It's time to use the people again, plus the nearly 300,000 people in Suweng City, more than 400,000 people poured out, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and the slow-handed people even went out of the city empty-handed, returning empty-handed, and didn't catch anything.

This is the power of the people, as long as they recognize the truth and are willing to work hard, there is nothing they cannot do.

The 50,000 enemies were killed or captured in one room, and only about 5,000 actually escaped. Ninety percent of these were constantly pursued and killed by the two main divisions in the early morning, and in the end, less than 500 people actually escaped.

It was this less than 500 people who fled that collided with the army of General Hun Sen, who was rushing towards the city of Suweng, and then the news of the defeat of the troops in front came out. The morale of the Phnom Penh reinforcements, who originally looked majestic and high, was suddenly hit hard.

The army had to stop a hundred miles outside the city of Su Weng, and in the main tent, Hun Sen was interrogating the deserters, and then his shout came from the big tent, "What? You say that the army of 50,000 was wiped out in one night? And they're chasing you all the way without the slightest intention of stopping? But the news said that there were only about 15,000 people on the other side, how did they do it? And don't they need to clean the battlefield? Now that the weather has warmed up, so many corpses thrown outside without being disposed of will cause a plague. ”
