Chapter 619: Burning Udon City

Leng Song held a map of Udon City that had been drawn a long time ago and said to all the officers under him. "After familiarizing myself with my destination, someone who doesn't understand will come and ask me immediately, now give us five minutes to prepare and assemble the troops, and then set off."

Long before they came, the officers had imprinted the first and second sets of plans in their minds, and now how could anyone not be familiar with them, so after nodding their heads one by one, they went to gather their troops and told them not to make any movement as much as possible, and to arrive at the designated place as quietly as possible. As for wanting to kill the enemy, they have enough to kill from one point.

Five minutes later, the farthest team from its destination departed, followed by the second, the third... Soon, Leng Song and political commissar Mo Chengyu also disappeared at the south city gate with the team, but in less than ten minutes, everything here was calm, and only the evening breeze blew across the earth.

At this time, the city of Udon Thani was already in darkness and silence. It's already past twelve o'clock, and those who should have gone to bed have gone to bed, and those who should have had fun have found a gold cave and buried their souls there.

Everything looked the same as usual, until the sound of swords clashing in the street broke the silence of the street.

It was a hundred soldiers guarding the south gate, they had to leave early because they had lost all their money in the gambling, and unfortunately they collided head-on with a mercenary army running towards their destination on the street.

The two sides suddenly met on the arranged street. On one side were about 100 gamblers who had lost all their money, and on the other side were 400 auxiliaries. After the two sides only glanced at each other, a brief fight began.

The hundred Siamese soldiers who went out without weapons belonged to the side that was slaughtered, but they still kept screaming and shouting before they died, "Enemy attack, there is an enemy!" ”

In the quiet night, such shouts spread far and wide, and also attracted nearby residents to get up and watch, and the movement became louder and louder.

"Battalion commander, what should I do?" An auxiliary company commander stabbed the last Siamese soldier to the ground with a bayonet, turned to look at the battalion commander and asked.

"Don't worry so much, go to the assembly place with all your might, be fast." The commander of the auxiliary battalion secretly shouted bad luck, but he did not panic, this was just a warm-up before the big battle.

The team of 400 people quickly left, and when the people nearby came out to investigate, they saw the corpses that had fallen to the ground and the smell of blood. "Ahh

I don't know who screamed first, and then such sounds were heard one after another, and the movement spread more and more, and finally the people across the street were also alarmed, and then the Siamese soldiers in the city also got the news.

The hour and minute hand was at 0:50, and there were still ten minutes left before the general attack was launched, and most of the fighters had already arrived at the designated place, except for a few squads that were far from the destination. But at this time, the street has become lively, and more than 100 Siamese soldiers died at once, which is definitely a big case, attracting more people's attention, and there are many Siamese captains, thousands, and centurions who have received the news and are leading people to rush here.

Even at this point, they still didn't think they were in danger, but thought that some outlaw had bumped into their soldiers, and there was an argument and a big fight.

The hour hand kept moving, and finally pointed to the final destination, one o'clock in the morning.

"Signal, hit!" Senior Commander Leng Song's voice also trembled a little, it was excited.

The sound fell, and a shiny red flare rose into the air, lighting up the sky. Immediately a dense burst of gunfire and grenades rang out all over the city, and the offensive on all fronts began!

At this moment, the city of Udon Thani became a city of fire, full of fire, continuous, continuous...

The power of the Ninety-Five and Eighty-One Bars formed an impenetrable web of fire, making all the Siamese soldiers who appeared in front of them a live target, and whenever these people gathered together to form a dense charge pattern, bursts of grenades would end their lives, first throwing their bodies high and then falling hard.

But all Siamese people who walked out into the streets, whether they were generals or soldiers, whether they were armed or ordinary people, but within the sight of the mercenaries, became the target of attack, became the target of activity raging at gunpoint, like food in the eyes of a beast, constantly being bitten and devoured, thus killing or wounding.

There are gunshots everywhere, and enemies everywhere give people a sense that there is no way to hide, nowhere to hide. It seems that there is no safety anywhere in this moment, and there is no paradise in this moment...

"Rush, rush out, report the news here to General Gordan to know, you must rush out." The five commanders of the Siamese army in the city all ripped out their voices and shouted heartbreakingly, as if they did not do so, they would not see any hope at all.

"Withdraw, retreat outside the south gate." After the gunfire rang out continuously for half an hour, the stunned Siamese army gradually woke up, and after several consecutive charges, I don't know how many people died, they finally understood the horror of their opponents. At this moment, no one is thinking about a long and short encounter with the enemy who has entered the city, and they have only one thought in their minds now, that is, to withdraw, to flee, or to leave this hell on earth.

The gunfire rang out intermittently throughout the night, and when the day finally dawned, the streets were littered with corpses, and from time to time there were piles of people, and there were still alive but wounded people wailing.

Fires broke out in many parts of the city, and the places where food, knives and guns were originally stored were severely damaged, and even when the sky was bright, the fire still did not stop, and it was still burning.

The mercenaries did not know when they had retreated, leaving behind a city of corpses and wounded. According to later statistics, the number of soldiers and civilians killed and wounded in Siam in this battle reached about 60,000, of which at least more than half were killed by fire and trampling on each other, and in fact, more than 10,000 people actually died at the hands of mercenaries.

The storehouse was burned, and not a single one of the 50,000 troops was to be seen, except for the corpses and the wounded who remained in the city and could not be moved. And the most terrifying thing about this battle is that I don't know who did it, and I don't know how many enemies there are, but from the descriptions of the survivors, I know that there should be many, many enemies, it seems to be everywhere, and they all have powerful repeating muskets in their hands, and even they suspect that the other party has artillery, otherwise, how did the explosions sound from time to time come from?

For such a statement, outsiders do not believe it is unknown, but the people living in Udon City do not believe it. Because on that night, at least nearly half of the 100,000 people were affected, and family members and friends were killed or injured.

More than 50,000 Siamese troops were killed and wounded, and the remaining 30,000 were lucky enough to escape, not daring to stay nearby, but heading straight for Khon Kaen to the south of Udon Thani. The army of nearly 30,000 looked like a nomad from a distance, wearing tattered uniforms, with godless eyes and no morale, and most of them didn't even know where their weapons were lost when they fled. They would have been the elite soldiers of Siam?

In a dense forest ten miles south of Udon City, Leng Song and his army were repairing here.

After a night of fighting, they achieved their goal, especially after burning the opponent's military supplies and grain and grass, and the general Godan who was still under Vientiane City had to retreat.

"How? How's the battle damage count? Although Leng Song also felt a little tired, as a commander, he naturally couldn't sleep like an ordinary soldier, and there was still too much work for him to do, and he needed to preside over and take ideas.

"Division commander, Leng Feng has all returned to the team, and there are only two wounded, but the problem is not big, you just need to take a good rest to recover your combat effectiveness. The auxiliaries lost seven dead and 200 wounded, three of whom were seriously wounded, and the others were lightly wounded. Mo Chengyu, the political commissar of the first regiment, looked at the reports that had just been counted by the battalions in his hand, and reported to Leng Song in a upright posture.

"Okay, arrange an auxiliary platoon to send the three seriously wounded away, and the others seize the time to rest, and dig up the ammunition buried in the forest in the afternoon, replenish it, and be ready to fight at any time." Hearing that Leng Feng had no losses, but only a few soldiers had died in the auxiliaries, although Leng Song's heart was also a little heartbroken, but in general, the result was satisfactory to him.

The cold front is the cold front, not only has a strong ability to kill the enemy, but also has a deep secret about how to save yourself on the battlefield. Especially in urban warfare like this in the dark, I don't know how many times the exercise has passed.

The hard training finally paid off, and Leng Song, as a commander, was also honored. "Immediately send a report to the sixth young master, report the results of our battle here, and explain that we are not going to go deep into the Siamese country next, so we will stay here and fight an ambush in Godan."

The battle of Udon City last night was too smooth, his side did not lose anything, and he withdrew safely outside the city, which made Leng Song more confident in completing the battle plan next, even if he was carrying Leng Feng's regiment and eight auxiliary battalions, then they should be the main army, and everywhere they went, they would kill the enemy and lose their armor, and they would not be able to find the north.

The so-called wounding his ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of his fingers, Leng Song decided to give Godan a powerful look, it is best to kill this person, and if he can't kill him, he will be hit hard, so that when he thinks of mercenaries in the future, he will chill without a fight.

The telegram was sent, and soon Yang Chendong, who was in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, received a report, and immediately gave instructions and agreed to Leng Song's combat requirements, but also put forward his own suggestions, that is, if you can fight, you should fight, if you can't fight, don't be strong, or you should maintain your own strength.
