Come to Daming with military supplies

"General, my father is not in good health..."

A personal soldier said to Hamo as if leaving a last word. Then, when he was one mile away from the city gate, dozens of horsemen stopped, turned their horses, and prepared to fight to the death. Create time to enter the city.

Ha Mo nodded one by one. He was not inaccurate in any request made by the soldiers, but only he himself knew if he would not really do it.After the soldiers stayed behind, he rode up to the north gate of Suweng City, and shouted loudly to the top of the tower, "I am General Hamo. I have important military information to report. Open the gate immediately and let me in." .”

"General, there are enemies behind you. It is too dangerous to open the city gate now." A centurion guarding the city said while looking at the unidentified cavalrymen who were only a mile away from the city gate. .

"Open the door, if my important information cannot be reported to the king, then you will all die, all of you will die, now I order you to open the city gate, hurry up!" How could Hamo ignore so much?He fled all night and half a day, sacrificed all his soldiers, just to survive.And for this purpose, he kept roaring and threatening.

Ha Mo's rank in the army is very high, and now he has issued an order. With no general guarding the city of Suweng, the head of a hundred households was under pressure and finally ordered someone to open the city gate.

The city gate was opened little by little, and Hamo was excited, thinking that he could finally live a life, so he turned around to look overjoyed, and when he turned around, his soul was out of his body, and two of the three souls were missing.

At some point, the dozens of soldiers he left behind had already turned into corpses and lay on the ground.The enemy cavalry behind him were within a stone's throw away from him.

"Ah! Open the door quickly, open the door quickly." The longing for life made Hamo shout loudly.But at this time, it seemed that the heavens had heard his prayer, and the city gate was finally ajar, allowing Yiqi to enter smoothly.

9 Chapter Twenty

"Haha, hahaha... Ah!" Hamo, who was laughing to himself, was about to start riding a horse, when suddenly his back hurt, and when he looked down, a sharp arrow pointed from his left chest. The expression on his face froze quickly, and with a plop, Harmo fell under the horse without the strength.

This arrow was shot by Kuboer.Hamo was seriously injured by an arrow. He came on horseback. He was the first to charge in front of the city gate. With a wave of his saber, a Phnom Penh soldier who was about to close the city gate was chopped down on the ground.

The city gate was ajar, giving the rest of the cavalry a way in. They took the opportunity to enter like great white sharks that smelled blood.

"Come here, tie this person up." Thinking that he could be regarded as a general who captured the enemy alive, Hupoer ordered someone to take him down, and then pushed open the half-open city gate together with the others.At this moment, Master Tian Hu arrived with the first regiment and the second regiment, and the army entered the city smoothly.

The bravery of the cavalry cannot be stopped by the soldiers in Phnom Penh. With the speed of the horses, the city gate will soon be full of corpses.The mercenaries had entered the city. As soon as the news came out, the soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty at the other city gates flocked and fled. At this moment, they only hated their parents for losing two legs.

The officials of the Phnom Penh Dynasty who were originally in charge of the city defense of Suweng City, after hearing that the mercenaries had suddenly entered the city, fled one by one, and some even left their family members behind, just hoping to escape.

No one thought that a strategically important place like Suweng City, the gateway to the capital of the Phnom Penh dynasty, would be let out in this way, without even a decent resistance.Facts have proved that the attack speed of the First World Cavalry Division has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Tian Hu entered the city, and quickly occupied the four city gates one by one, as well as the granaries and warehouses in the city, and then they did not move rashly.There are tens of thousands of troops in the city, and hundreds of thousands of people. They are only 6000 people. Once something unexpected happens, the problem of their weak force will be revealed, and it may even attract a strong counterattack. "Keep guarding the four gates and important places, don't worry about other places, just let them toss."

The division commander issued an order, and the cavalry below naturally followed suit.In this way, it is the people in Phnom Penh in the city who are suffering.When those Phnom Penh troops who had just fled to various parts of the city in fear of death found that the mercenaries had not carried out a large-scale search and massacre, what they thought was not how to rush out of the city, but how to burn them during this uncontrolled time. Kill and loot.

People have selfish desires, and they also have a dark side of psychology.In normal times, because of strict management, self-discipline is also necessary, and most people dare not show it.But it's different now, the laws that were over their heads disappeared, and even a person in charge has never seen them. They have become completely free people, and they can do whatever they really want.

As a result, the army looting happened inevitably. The army robbed the people, and the gangsters on the street robbed the people. Even the younger and stronger men formed a group to rob the people together. Those who didn't have time to escape Not to mention the wealthy households in the cities who went there will inevitably become the first targets to be hit.

Chaos broke out in Suweng City, shouts of beatings and killings were heard everywhere, countless people suffered indiscriminate disasters, the only wealth in their families was searched out, robbed, and there were young women in the family, or some pretty girls The women in the family have also become the target of being robbed.

The sound of crying, begging for mercy and complaining is endless. On the street, groups of looters can often be seen running back and forth, and sometimes they will have civil wars due to the uneven distribution of dirt. , The sound of swords colliding is also continuous.

Standing on the towers of the four cities, you can get an overview of what happened in the center of the city. Tian Hu called the three regiment leaders to inquire about the deployment situation.But when it came to the civil strife in the city, no one mentioned it.

This kind of civil strife is beneficial to the mercenaries. The important thing is that after this civil strife, the people here hate these thieves far more than they hate them, and afterwards the mercenaries can also enter in the name of suppressing bandits Take the wealth from the gangsters in an open and honest manner, without worrying about being accused by others and pressure from public opinion.

Half a day later, Leng Feng's Fourth Division entered Suweng City; a day later, the first batch of four battalions of auxiliary soldiers entered the city; two days later, Yang Chendong arrived in Suweng City under the protection of a thousand guards, and with him came Ten battalions of auxiliary soldiers and [-] Lao troops have nearly [-] people.

The strength is constantly growing. After four days of burning and looting, Su Weng City is already in chaos. On the street, you can see murdered women, old people, and bandit men under cannibalism at any time.The doors of some common people's homes were even opened wide, to mark that they had experienced an inhuman robbery, and their homes had lost everything.

"It's time to end. Pass down the order and close the net. If you encounter any rebels, kill them!" Yang Chendong stood on the south tower, looking at Su Wengcheng, which was surrounded by beacon fires, with a hint of anger in his tone.

There will be this scene, which is not beyond Yang Chendong's expectation, maybe this is a kind of human nature.

Before the war, Yang Chendong also thought about all kinds of possibilities, and even thought that after this battle, the Phnom Penh Dynasty might suffer heavy losses.But this is war, a game where you die or you live.

There is a saying that benevolence to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.Since Yang Chendong already knew the story of the farmer and the snake, he wouldn't let it happen again.If not, in the future or in the near future, it will be the Han people who will die.

The so-called who will go to hell if I don’t go to hell, for the sake of the entire Han nation, for the sake of dignity and the happiness of future generations, some sacrifices are necessary.It's like eating steamed buns alone, not only can you eat meat, but you can also eat noodles.The same is true for wars. If the army of the hostile force is to be wiped out, the people of the hostile force will also suffer from it. This is unavoidable.

"I hope there will be peace in the world in the future." He said silently in his heart. After today's World War I, Yang Chendong did not dare to hope that the world here would be free from wars, but at least he could persist for a few more years and give the people more time for peace. , a good environment, and let them know that life is actually very beautiful.

"Send a telegram to Skylark, asking him to persuade the royal family of Phnom Penh to surrender. If there is no news after two days, we will launch a new round of attack." It was beyond Yang Chendong's expectation.Now is the time to force the opponent to surrender.

......

Phnom Penh City, the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

The mercenaries invaded on a large scale, and the news that the important cities such as Zhiba, Kratie, Chuanlong and Suweng were captured respectively spread throughout the entire Phnom Penh city. For a while, people were panicked, and the social order began to appear chaotic.

More than a year ago, the Phnom Penh Dynasty experienced such a war.But fortunately, the foundation is not bad. Although some aspects of work have not been fully restored after the war, at least the people's lives are still guaranteed.And this time the army's pressure was obviously bigger than the previous one.The experienced merchants in the city immediately started hoarding goods. Rice was expensive in Phnom Penh for a while, and the people at the bottom had no food to eat. Even ordinary people would face the possibility of a break at any time.

The regime of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is still there, so it is naturally impossible for civil strife like in Suweng City to occur, but there is already chaos on the street, so the city defense army dispatched twice to arrest some people.But this is just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. When the common people have no food to eat, even if they know they will be beheaded, they still want to rebel.

In the royal palace, King Boromo was sitting high above, discussing countermeasures with his ministers.

Compared to usual, at this moment Boromo obviously had an anxious expression on his face.This time, the mercenaries fought undeclared war. While violating the regulations, they also caught him by surprise.Judging from the battle reports ahead, the mercenaries dispatched are very elite troops, and it is not like the local troops like Laos that the intelligence said were used.

"What are you eating, what are you eating? Take them out and behead them to show the public." At the beginning of the meeting, Poromo did not hide his anger. As a warning, he became the first high-ranking official to be beheaded.

The cries for help and grievances were still echoing in the hall, and the minister in charge of intelligence had been dragged out, and soon there were no more cries, so it was conceivable that he must be dead.For a while, many courtiers' expressions became very ugly.The king was really angry. At this moment, if he said something wrong, it would probably bring about an unwarranted disaster.

After killing someone, Boromo's mood didn't loosen because of it. He looked at the ministers with flickering eyes, and said in a tearful voice, "The nearly [-] troops will be completely wiped out in just a few days. They were defeated, most of them were killed and captured, and the cities were lost one by one. Who will answer me, why? And what is the impregnable city defense that you usually say? Who will explain it?"

Facing the king's anger, many ministers lowered their heads.Everyone knows the strength of the Phnom Penh army. It is no problem to frighten ordinary people, but it is not a class to fight against the elite mercenaries.Not to mention, they are still making a surprise attack, they are not prepared at all, and it is really normal for such a result to happen.What they are thinking about now is what exactly do the mercenaries want this time?Does deterrence like last time have some benefits?Or do you really want to annex the entire Phnom Penh Dynasty, just like the kingdoms of Jiaozhi and Lancang before, and want to re-transform the country into a province?

Chapter 921 The Skylark's Calmness

How big is the appetite of the mercenaries and how strong are the strengths? All the ministers realized that they still knew too little at this moment, so that they couldn't make a correct judgment at this time, and naturally they didn't know what to say now alright.

The ministers were all silent, and a needle drop could be heard in the palace hall for a while, and King Boromo was even more angry, shouting loudly: "What? Are you all dumb? When fighting for power and profit, everyone is not Are you able to talk? Why don’t you speak now? Tell me, tell me, otherwise, I’ll send you all to jail, tell me!”

When Poromo got angry, the ministers couldn't help but have an attitude.The right minister, Du En, stood at the head of the crowd. He felt that the time was almost up, so he was the first to stand up. "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Right Prime Minister, tell me." Seeing Du En stand up, Boromo felt his eyes light up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Skylark, the representative of the mercenary army, has arrived in Phnom Penh City and is now in my residence. He has brought the latest news about the loyal and courageous Lord Ming. He asked to meet with His Majesty." Du En looked up at Boromo talking.And after saying this, he lowered his head, looking at his nose and heart with a calm monk-like appearance.

He knew what consequences would follow after he said this sentence.But he knew better that he would be fine.Because he represented the peace talks, although this was not the king's first choice, it was also a way of retreat. Unless the mercenaries were defeated, no one would give up this way of retreat easily. This was his way of survival.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Du En was immediately attacked by various kinds.All traitors, internal thieves, and spies were labeled.The ministers were very angry this time, it seemed that whoever didn't swear a few words now might be Du En's accomplice.

Among them, Ding Dingwei, the left prime minister, was the most scolded.The last time the mercenaries came, he suffered a lot because he misjudged the situation. Thanks to his old qualifications and the trust of the king, he finally kept his position.But since then, he was obviously at a disadvantage when fighting with the right minister.

Perhaps becoming the left prime minister of a country, Ding Dingwei's wisdom goes without saying, he quickly hibernates, and then waits for the opportunity to fight back.Now that the opportunity has arisen, he will never let it go. He began to scold Du En. After feeling that he was tired of cursing, he clasped his fists and saluted Boromo and said, "Your Majesty, Du En's heart is already broken." He is no longer here in our Phnom Penh Dynasty, he is clearly a spy of the mercenary, an undercover agent. I ask His Majesty to order him to be killed, and then surround the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, take down the representative of the mercenary, Skylark, and behead him for public display."

"Your Majesty, please order to kill Du En and the representative of the mercenary army." All the courtiers said in unison, each with a serious expression, as if they had some kind of life-and-death enmity with Du En and that skylark.

The officials below were so united, Boromo didn't look happy at all.He knew that it was just that the courtiers were worried that he would take them under the knife, and now they had another outlet, wanting to shift the conflict.

To say that what Du En did really annoyed him, secretly interacting with mercenaries without a will, how could this be done by a loyal minister?For this reason, it is not too much to deal with him, but the murder should be avoided. The battle report ahead, the mercenaries have occupied Suweng City for several days now, and they have no intention of launching an attack. He just took this opportunity to mobilize He dispatched soldiers, and if he killed the envoy at this time, he would force the mercenary to deal ruthlessly, which was equivalent to slapping himself, and he would not do such a thing.

It was because of Du En's mastery of the king's mentality that he said these things with confidence.Now that the ministers have shouted out their requests, they are only waiting for Boromo's answer. At this moment, Du En also raised his head and looked at their aloof king.

"Well, why don't you kill the envoy when the two countries are at war? If you let me kill the envoy, don't you want to trap the king in an injustice? Ah! Come on, go to the right minister's mansion and bring the envoy of the mercenary army Come here." Boromo finally made a decision, and then pretended to reprimand the ministers.
