King Baseton was furious and declared a decisive battle with the Far East. But Zheng Tong and Feng Tu were frightened, but they saw the powerful fleet in the Far East, the behemoths outside the port of Bangkok, and they still remembered it, and they still had palpitations.

King Bassetton usually valued them, and their family has lived in Siam for generations, although they are of Chinese descent, they have long regarded Siam as their own country, so they cannot watch the Ayutthaya dynasty perish.

In their judgment, the Far East has no plans to start a war with the Ayutthaya Dynasty at present, even if they throw out this treaty that will make the Ayutthaya Dynasty lose its power and humiliate the country, can they negotiate with the Far East slowly?

But at this time, King Basetong had already fallen into a crazy situation, and the other civil and military ministers also had an attitude of fighting to the death, Zheng Tong and Feng Tu's persuasion was of no avail, they tried their best to describe the strength of the Far East Fleet, as well as those few steel ships, and the Shenzhou floating in the air.

But King Basetun and the ministers of the Ayuthaya dynasty did not listen to the dissuasion at all, and what they said, with their knowledge, could not be imagined at all. King Basethong and his ministers always believed that even the most powerful fleet could not reach the land, and the tens of thousands of elites, more than 1,000 war elephants, and a lot of Western artillery and arquebuses of the Ayutthaya Dynasty could not block the attack of the Far East.

Even if it is to negotiate peace with the Far East in the future, it is necessary to fight with them, let the Far East retreat from the difficulties, abandon the treaty that made Siam lose its power and humiliate the country, and the two sides will sign another treaty that is beneficial to Siam.

For this, King Baseton also scolded the two and drove them out of the palace, and the others also sneered at them. Zheng Tong and Feng Tu had no choice but to give up.

Tens of thousands of the elite of the Ayutthaya dynasty have been assembled, including Siam's most powerful ground assault force, a war elephant force composed of 1,000 taels of white-headed elephants.

Elephants have many military uses. In battles, war elephants are usually placed in the center of the formation. Being centrally positioned allows the War Elephant to effectively thwart enemy charges. War Elephants can reach speeds of up to 30 km/h when charging. The charge of the war elephants cannot simply be defused by the infantry phalanx armed with spears, which break down the enemy's formation. Trample on enemy soldiers, wield fangs to destroy and kill.

The part of the enemy army that is not crushed will at least be driven aside by the charge of the war elephants, or will be pressed back by them. In addition, war elephants do not need to be in contact with the enemy to cause panic, and the enemy will be overwhelmed by fear when they charge.

Due to the thick skin of the elephants. This makes it extremely difficult to kill or defeat war elephants on the battlefield. The great advantage in height and weight of the war elephants provided considerable protection for their riders. In addition to carrying out the mission of storming enemy positions, war elephants are stable firing positions for projecting weapons. The War Elephants are placed in the center of the battle line, where projectile weapons can be used to find and attack more targets.

The Elephant Rider and the warrior in the middle of the elephant are armed with bows and crossbows to attack the enemy, and spears are used to defend themselves when the enemy is close to them. The projection weapons carried by war elephants are becoming more and more developed.

In this era, the elephant soldiers can be said to be the most powerful type of troops in land warfare. The selection of target soldiers is also extremely strict, and the law stipulates that those who have experienced ten battles in infantry can be promoted to the horse army, and those who have experienced ten battles in the horse army can be promoted to the elephant army. The Elephant Army's salary was very generous, and the monthly salary of the Elephant Army was 50 baskets of millet (about 22 kilograms per basket).

These 1,200 war elephants are also where King Baseton's confidence lies. No matter how strong the Far East Fleet is, it will not have too many troops in land warfare, and although they are invincible at sea, once they land, they will inevitably face a fierce attack from the Siamese war elephant troops.

With the order of King Bassettong, tens of thousands of elite troops of the Ayutthaya Dynasty advanced towards Bangkok. Along the way, they were welcomed by the Siamese people, and the morale of King Basethong and his men was high, and they all vowed to fight to the death in the Far East.

King Baseton is also in high spirits. This battle with the Far East is crucial, and only for the Far East to realize the strength of the Ayutthaya dynasty. and the determination to resist to the death will allow the Far East to change its hard-line policy towards Siam and abandon the original treaty in favor of a treaty that will benefit both sides.

He also did not want to fight to the death with the Far East, after all, Burma in the west had always been eyeing Siam, once the Ayutthaya dynasty was mired in war with the Far East. Myanmar is bound to take advantage of the fire. The Far East may just want to take advantage, while Burma is aiming to destroy Siam.

The army advanced by water, and the advance of the troops soon reached Bangkok. King Baseton was sitting on the back of a war elephant and showing off his might, and a fast horse sentinel sent by the forward troops galloped to the war elephant on which King Baseton was riding. He jumped off his horse and ran over a few steps.

The cavalryman knelt at the feet of the war elephant in a panic and said with a frightened face: "Great King, Far East...... The fleet of the Far East...... Too much, too big......"

King Baseton frowned when he heard this, and he scolded with anger on his face: "What do you want to say about useless things? ”

When the cavalryman saw that the king was angry, he became even more incoherent when he was already panicked. King Bassethong listened for a long time and did not understand, and he was not far from Bangkok anyway, so he waved his hand to drive him away, and ordered his troops to speed up the march.

When King Basetun led the main elite troops to the dock in Bangkok, he found that his soldiers were all looking lost and depressed, which made him furious and came to the pier on a war elephant.

But when he saw the overwhelming sails on the sea in the distance, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him. Especially the six behemoths, as well as the dozen or so huge divine boats floating in the air, all made him feel like the sky was about to fall.

Based on other people's descriptions, they can't really understand the horror of the Far Eastern Fleet at all, and only by standing on the pier in Bangkok can they feel the sense of oppression spreading in the distance.

It was only now that King Baseton finally knew why the cavalry in the forward force was incoherent. I finally knew why Zheng Tong and Feng Tu tried their best to dissuade him from thinking twice, in the face of such a large fleet and such a terrifying behemoth ship, how could the Ayutoya Dynasty fight with others in the Far East.

Not only him, but the tens of thousands of elites of the Ayutoya Dynasty were also sluggish at this time. The dense sails on the sea almost covered the sea, and the huge steel giant ship and the magical aerial Shenzhou all made them tremble.

The tens of thousands of elites of the Ayutoya Dynasty, whose morale was originally high, also fell to the bottom in an instant, and the morale of the army became unstable. This confrontation is not a hierarchy at all. Even in modern society, such a large fleet will make people feel shocked, let alone the turtles of this era. (To be continued......)
