The weather in Siam was not very good, the sun was scorching for the first few days, and on the eighth day, it was pouring rain.

Fortunately, all the gunpowder was sealed with oiled paper, with three layers inside and three layers outside, which would never be soaked, and even the rucksacks of the marching army were also covered with a layer of oiled paper, and the entire Lang Son army did not stop, but continued to advance.

The heavy rain on the officers and soldiers was still able to withstand these indomitable soldiers, but the road under their feet became muddy and difficult to walk, their boots became extremely heavy when they entered the water, and their feet were covered with mud.

This situation made the doctors in the army very worried, and after walking some way, they instructed them to stop and find a sheltered place to boil hot water, put ginger, and then distribute it, just in case.

This made Hao Fenglou feel that he was so shameless 'lazy' a little unreasonable, and he said that he would share the hardships, so that people couldn't pull off his face after all, so this Lord Hao didn't even wear a robe, and walked in the team soaking wet, laughing loudly with a few military attachés.

His affection, I don't know if it inspired others, but at least, it made Hao Fenglou feel a little more at ease.

After eating ginger water and having a heat in his body, Hao Fenglou stopped at a hill, asked someone to take a map of sheepskin, and found a guide to point and paint, and now here, it is not far from the big city.

The guide is Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, who came from other places, he is very familiar with the path here, and has walked through it dozens of times, so Hao Fenglou is very relieved of him.

And the question that Hao Fenglou has to worry about is whether the troops will have a short rest. In this regard, He Jian, the commander of the Shenji Guard, and Zeng Guodong, the commander of Lang Shanwei, had different opinions.

He Jian believes that it should be done in one go. Directly taking the big city, delaying for a moment, gave the Siamese more time to prepare, but Zeng Guodong thought that he should take a break and seize the big city again.

The two of them fought in the rain for a long time with their red necks, and Hao Fenglou was dripping with water from his eyebrows. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It seems that the rainy season here has arrived, since this is the case." There is no difference between a few more days of delay and no delay, the guide has already said. When the rainy season arrives. Many rivers in the vicinity are going to flood, if the road is blocked because of this, but it will delay time, we are a guest army, time is not on our side, in this case, there is only one blow, everyone. Convey the order and tell everyone. We have traveled thousands of miles to come here, over the mountains and wading through the rivers for two months, right now, the enemy's capital is in front of us, take the big city, then it will be a great success, on the throne of the emperor's order, under their own diligent practice, Siamese deceive people too much, then let them see our strength, within three days, the official will take them into the Siam palace, this is the official's own selfish thoughts, but I hope you can accompany me. ”

Hao Fenglou paused here, looking at the north, he sighed, in fact, many times, the so-called meritorious service, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles before, and that glory, is only a moment, for the glory of this moment, he took a two-month sea boat from Langshan, over countless mountains, under the scorching sun, under the majestic rain came here, now, this moment of time, arrived.

Hao Fenglou finally said a few words: "Flat Siam!" ”

Ayutthaya.

As early as a few days ago, news came from Kuaima that the Ming army had landed in Rayong and that Litai had been martyred. When the news came, the Siamese government and the opposition were shaken.

The purpose of the Ming army is obviously a big city, this is obvious, the king of Siam is not a fool, of course he knows that the other party is by no means as simple as coastal harassment, he has calculated a lot, and he has not calculated that the real enemy is not from the land, but from the sea.

But now, it's too late to curse.

Recall 100,000 soldiers and horses from Zhenla, it is obviously too late, far water can't save the near fire, and Zhenla's Siamese army moves, and the Ming army that confronts them will definitely pursue, and the entire Zhenla line is very likely to collapse instantly.

There were not many soldiers and horses in Ayutthaya, only more than 7,000 people, and the rest of the military horses were scattered in the Siamese provinces, and now the order of King Qin was obviously a bit hasty.

For now, though, that's the only way to do it.

This is a race of time, must be in time before the arrival of the Ming army, organize an effective defense, in the royal court, everyone believes that the Ming army to arrive here, it will take at least a month to two months, and these times, for the Siamese who are in a hurry at the moment, there are still some shortcomings, it is good to be able to transfer some soldiers and horses near Gyeonggi, roughly, it should be about 30,000 people,

30,000 ...... It's not very safe, because according to intelligence, the other party used artillery, and in an instant, they took Rayong City, which means that the strength of this Ming army should not be underestimated, let alone take it lightly.

The king of Siam is also considered to have been in battle for a long time, of course, he knows the truth that soldiers are not expensive, so he immediately issued a royal order, ordered the recruitment of people, the organization of militia, and at the same time the military horses of the Janissary Guard were assembled, ready to counterattack at any time, his eyes were originally intended to be placed in Russell City, this Russell City is the gateway to the big city, and there are many military facilities, King Qin's soldiers and horses can be gathered there, and use Russell City to delay time and wait for more military horses to gather.

Even the crown prince was ordered to go to Russell to supervise the war, and the king of Siam, on the one hand, consulted with the ministers, and on the other hand, personally inspected the horses of the Janissaries.

Unfortunately, on the seventh day of the news, the bad news came.

Ming Army...... It turned out to be the Ming army, the Ming army appeared under the city of Russell last night, and then began to attack, more than 3,000 people in the city, only two cups of tea kung fu, was broken into the city by the Ming army.

Zhaolu Qunying was really frightened this time, originally thought that the Ming army would take at least a month, but it was only ten days later, and they had already come, they ...... Could it be that the heavenly soldiers will not succeed? And...... Breaking the city in a moment is too magical.

It is indeed too magical, although Russell was not prepared, the soldiers and horses of King Qin, who had already been dispatched, did not enter Russell one after another, because they obviously did not have the kung fu that fell from the sky like the Ming army, even the reinforcements from fifty miles away are still grinding and grinding, let alone other military horses. But after all, there are fortifications, there is enough food and grass, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses, but now, this is the end of the hurry.

What's more, the crown prince has no news so far, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Zhaolu was dumbfounded, the generals immediately gathered, and finally everyone discussed, although I don't know how the Ming army worked hard in ten days, and the troops came to the city, but at least, one thing can be confirmed, the other party is very good at attacking the city, and the siege of the city is simply a pediatric matter for them, and for the officers and soldiers defending the city, once the city is broken, the psychological defense line is very easy to collapse, and it is the day of defeat, so ...... The so-called towering city walls of this big city, as well as the complete urn city and city towers, are obviously in the eyes of the Ming army, and there is no obstacle to fear.

This is the most terrible thing, this city cannot be defended.

"The king, it should be a decisive battle out of the city, the advantage of the Ming army lies in the artillery and firearms, if you retreat into the city, you will only be beaten passively, rather than so, it is better to fight a decisive battle outside the city!"

"Among the Praetorian Guards, there are two hundred war elephants, which is enough to deter the Ming army."

"Shrinking into the city is a dead end."

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

These generals are also real, since the city cannot be defended, then face the battle! The generals of Siam, after all, had followed Zhaolu Qunying to fight in the south and the north, and conquered Zhenla, and they were all brilliant, but at this moment, they all had a bit of courage.

However, some Wenchen had their worries: "Why don't you surrender, after all, Siam was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty in the past, if you are willing to surrender, there may be a glimmer of life." ”

"The other party has traveled a long distance, and there may not be enough food and straw, so they will defend the city, as long as they delay for some time, the walls will be cleared and ......."

"How to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, there is a large amount of military rations in Russell City, and now all of them have fallen into the hands of the Ming army......"

After some arguments, Zhao Luqun's eyes were full of bloodshots, he regretted it a little, but what was the use of regretting, his nephew Litai was gone, and the crown prince was nowhere to be found.

He clenched his fists, his eyes widened, his mouth trembled, and he said viciously: "Facing the battle, this king will personally go out of the city to meet the battle, and we can still gather 15,000 elite soldiers, then let them see our strength." ”

When he said this, all the controversy stopped.

Of course, just superficially stopped.

A lot of gossip went crazy in the big city, and many rich and wealthy families began to make a way out for themselves.

And the army began to assemble, the king also first sacrificed the temple, and when the news came, when the Ming army appeared ten miles away, Zhaolu Qunying personally rode a war elephant, with the guards, together with all the soldiers and horses, out of the city.

A big war quietly kicked off.

Both sides were silent, and quietly began to set up.

Zhaolu Qunying sat on the war elephant, like a Buddha, sitting cross-legged, not moving, on the left and right, there were two gold-armored warriors, they held the wooden fence on the back of the war elephant, each carrying a spear, raised high, countless Siamese officers and soldiers saw the encouragement sent by the king's personal guards, and immediately became noisy.

This is to protect the family and defend the country, at this time, Zhaolu Qunying personally went into battle, and suddenly everyone was like a rainbow! (To be continued......)
