Chapter 666: Raid

The Lang Son army would not stay in Rayong City for too long, but two days were enough.

In addition to the Chinese merchants in Rayong City, there are also many poor people, which is not surprising, not everyone can get rich here, and these people are obviously more thorough than those Chinese merchants, even if they plunder, when the Chinese merchants still think about the snakes and rats, these people are angry in their chests, and they raise their fists one by one to enlist in the army and avenge their families.

More than 2,000 young men were trained in this way, most of them were local porters, or nearby lumberjacks and miners, and because of the needs of Lang Son, mining began to arise in all parts of the West, and this is no exception.

As for their salary, it is also easy, Hao Fenglou does not play the set of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, he is facing, but a group of people who want to be slaves to the Siamese people but can't get it, these people have money, food, cars and horses in and out, and they are wearing silk and satin, if you give him three colors, he may not be able to please him, but if you give him a little face, he will be full of thoughts about you.

Zhao Xiong, the quartermaster of the Lang Son Army, has been very busy recently, he is the earliest veteran of the fire team, but later because of lameness, this is transferred to the logistics system, his task is to collect money and food, convey the meaning separately, and then, in the past two days, people have taken turns to feast every day.

The Chinese merchants invited guests, not to ask for mercy, nor to save money, they were not short of money, in fact, they could get as much money and food as they wanted, and what they were worried about was that now they were watching the prince of Ritana being killed, watching the Siamese people being killed, this account. People may not be able to count these Langshan Army, Langshan Army and Lord Nahao are not easy to provoke after all. To put it mildly, even if Hao Fenglou is defeated, what can the Siamese people do, do they really dare to kill, it is not obediently to take this person as a threat, and negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, but people can't sprinkle this fire towards the surname Hao. Naturally, it is indispensable to count on them.

Now, they want both snakes and rats. It seems that it will not be done, since this is the case, then we can only pray that this Langshan army can directly smash the Yellow Dragon. He destroyed other people's kingdoms. destroyed other people's temples, so that everyone can eat and sleep with peace of mind.

Inviting Lord Zhao to come is nothing more than to inquire about the news, what is the purpose of the Lang Son army, whether it is to harass or has a bigger plan, and what is the position of the Ming Dynasty on Siam in the future. It was a lesson, and then they were restored. Or support other princes, or even follow the example of Jiaozhi, in short, they have to plan the way back, and they have to think about their future.

What Zhao Xiong wants to do is one, three bowls of rice wine in his stomach, and then he began to brag, what braggarts, what Langshan army is here, it is to fight with Zhenla's 100,000 Ming army on both sides to eliminate Siam Yunyun.

These Chinese businessmen were relieved, so they enthusiastically took out money and food.

Two thousand young men changed to an engineer battalion, the so-called engineers, in fact, is a miscellaneous, but the miscellaneous soldiers have always been undertaken by the township brave, within the Ming army, there are many recruited people who are responsible for miscellaneous affairs, and specially organized as a battalion, but it is rare. The weapons are ready-made, they are all pulled from those Siamese soldiers, each with a sword, and this can only be the case at the moment, and the Lang Son army has specially transferred more than 100 people to supplement it, as the backbone, and the role of the backbone is nothing more than to be responsible for drills.

This engineer battalion naturally stayed here for the time being, as a support, and then Hao Fenglou set off with his military horses.

Target...... Ayutthaya.

This is a surprise attack, and the surprise attack does not mean that you have to take the enemy by surprise, and most importantly, when the opponent is not fully prepared, you will have a decisive battle with the enemy and do not give the enemy any time to organize.

Many people do not fully understand the so-called surprise attack, and always think that the Lang Son army should be a heavenly soldier who wants to fall from the sky, and the other party's city gate is open, and in a completely helpless situation, all of them are slaughtered.

And the real raid is not according to common sense, such as the Franco-Prussian War, the two sides declared war, and then mobilized, and then began to gather troops and horses on the border, the French were a little slower, while the Prussians had strong logistics and timely scheduling, and immediately gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, without saying a word, directly attacked.

This is the raid.

From the time the Lang Son army landed, it was impossible to achieve absolute secrecy, and it was impossible to take Rayong without a single fish that slipped through the net, so at this time, the most important thing was to be prepared for war and not give the other side time to dispatch and organize.

This is more than 300 miles to the big city, in fact, it is not far, but for a military horse, it is enough for a month, after all, it is the soldiers and horses who have not moved the grain and grass first, and the ordinary officers and soldiers walk fast, but the people who carry the burden may not be able to catch up, but this time, Hao Fenglou intends to take risks.

Completely abandon the grain, grass and baggage, and each person bring enough gunpowder and baggage, and ten days' rations, and set out at full speed to take the great city.

This means that every officer and soldier of Lang Son must carry more than 50 catties of weight, and consume a large amount of body every day for a rapid march, 30 miles a day.

This is a staggering test for any army in the world, because no one has ever been able to do it, even if it is ten miles, it is enough to choke, and this test is not only the organizational ability, but also the individual soldier's quality. You know, this road in the past, but not necessarily all official roads, if the official road is good, but this Siam is a lot of barren land, there are many rugged paths, if you are unlucky, in the event of a thunderstorm, it will be even more enough.

But when Hao Fenglou said his thoughts, the military attachés of Shenji and Langshan Erwei did not object, but patted their chests one by one and promised that no one would be left behind.

Their confidence comes from the drills that have not been interrupted for more than two years, and the soldiers' bodies are absolutely no problem, because in peacetime, they are marching with heavy loads, ten or twenty miles a day, as for endurance, not to mention, the usual standing drills, a person standing under the rain, snow or scorching sun, standing for two hours, that is commonplace, so people who have been tempered, are still afraid of lack of endurance?

The military attaches usually follow the drills, so they know their subordinates well, especially the low-level military attachés, who almost eat and sleep together, and in this process, once someone encounters a special situation, they can ensure that they help each other, so there is no problem with more than one qiē.

However, some people raised the risk of this plan, because everyone was only carrying a dozen days' rations, and if they arrived in Ayutthaya, they could not completely conquer Ayutthaya within three days, and things could be very bad.

However, many people are quite optimistic, believing that three days is enough, and this optimism, of course, is not blind, because the military attachés have learned all kinds of tactics, and at the same time, they can also read and write, and they are familiar with military affairs, and they have all kinds of Siamese intelligence analysis sent by the Jinyi guards, so they believe that the officers and soldiers of Siam have low combat effectiveness, and their city defense is vulnerable to the artillery fire of the Lang Son army, and besides, this is a surprise attack, and the Siamese people cannot organize an effective defense at all for a while, and so on.

The plan has been decided, and then the whole army will be deployed.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The sun is scorching.

Between the paths, a procession of people snaking forward, like a long snake.

These people are quite ridiculous, they are like snails, carrying huge packages, under the scorching sun, but they are all silent, struggling to move forward.

Among them, the most ridiculous is Hao Fenglou.

Although the officers below were full of confidence in the march, and after seven or eight days, they did it, except for a few sick wounded who fell behind, and specially sent a few strong soldiers and a doctor to treat them on the spot, the rest of the people, none of them complained, even if they were exhausted, they still persevered with tenacity.

This is a group of people who look faltering, but they are full of power.

And Hao Fenglou's treatment is naturally much better, because he rides a high-headed horse, sometimes although the mountain road is difficult, he has to fall off the horse and walk, and Hao Fenglou does not have any burden, but this Hou Ye is really a little unbearable.

Usually pampered, but now it is a long journey, this is okay, even if he sits on a horse, after a long time, he is soaked with sweat, his crotch has been worn out, the skin of his lower body is worn out, soaked in sweat, Hao Fenglou feels that if he continues like this, he must die for the country.

Hou Ye persisted for a few days, feeling that he had extraordinary perseverance, and in the end he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Well, there's one thing, the officer suddenly remembered, it's the best place to transport the wounded......"

Hao Fenglou came to Zhao Xiong, the quartermaster, and began to drum up his invention again.

"Chop two bamboos, ...... in the middle"

"Yes, that's roughly the case, you call a few people to try it, and when it's done, send it to the official, and the official will experience it and see if it works."

So, Hou Ye got on the stretcher, just lying flat is not a dazzling eye, so he took off his coat again, wrapped his head, and wrapped his head has two advantages, one is to shelter the wind and the sun, and the other benefit is to lie down and be stared at by those curious babies, even if the old face is a little thick, and Hou Ye can tell everyone with confidence, this is Ben Hou inventing and creating zào, but even if this reason can convince others, it still can't convince himself, so Hao Fenglou resolutely chose a fig leaf.
