Chapter 1024

Relatively speaking, Phnom Penh, which was originally the target, is very calm because suon city has not been won for a long time. Especially after the 5000 Siamese vanguard army was destroyed by the black cavalry led by Yang Chendong, tongqi, the second-class Military General of Siam, did not send anyone to attack.

The other side stopped attacking, and Yang Chendong was going to prepare for a counterattack. The reason why he made this decision was that some reinforcements had arrived. The fifth division of the first army of the land entered Cambodia province by boat from chixian city in Bachi port and arrived at the foot of Phnom Penh City at noon today.

For the arrival of the fifth Lu Division, Yang Chendong personally went out of the city to meet him, along with Cambodian governor sun Xiaoguang, Cambodian general Dann and chamber of Commerce President Dunn.

Dunn is here. He's from the labor force. Leading a group of merchants in Phnom Penh, they brought a lot of meat and hot rice; General Dane came here to prepare to join the army. After discussing with governor sun Xiaoguang, Yang Chendong has made a decision to counter attack the Siamese army and solve the siege of suweng city.

Yang Chendong doesn't know what happened in the city. He can persist until now. But his intuition told him that without soldiers and food, he was afraid that they would not last long. If they did not provide support, once they were broken, the situation would change greatly.

When the fifth land division arrived, general Dann was also ready to take 3000 Cambodian soldiers to cooperate with him. With a thousand black cavalry, the number of troops had exceeded 10000. It should be able to achieve good results when they suddenly entered the battlefield.

The governor sun Xiaoguang left 2000 Cambodian soldiers and told them that two cavalry divisions on the grassland were coming here. No matter what happened, Yang Chendong ran north with more than 10000 troops without reinforcements.

Suon city. As Yang Chendong expected, it was really difficult to defend. After all, it is a group of untrained people guarding the city, all with the strength of martial courage, but after defending for so long, the number of casualties has been very large, especially after the 1000 Cambodian soldiers who originally defended the city were basically killed in battle, and there are no trained veterans on the city tower, the situation may collapse at any time.

Ding Dingwei has boarded the City Tower many times to cheer everyone up. The square in the city is full of corpses. Rough calculation shows that there are more than 20000 dead and more than 30000 injured. In general, it is estimated that the Siamese soldiers attacked the city and killed nearly 10000 people, which is the difference between untrained people and soldiers on the battlefield.

I don't know how many nights I haven't closed my eyes. When I'm too sleepy, I hit a place at random and narrowed for a while. Ding Dingwei feels that his spirit seems to break down. Anyone who finds him and wants to talk to him must roar loudly, otherwise, he can't hear any language in his ears.

In such an atmosphere, Ding Dingwei still sticks to it. He can't fall down, because he is the heaven of all the suweng people. If something happens to him, the people's hearts that have finally gathered will soon disperse. When facing the siege of the Siamese army, I'm afraid he has no resistance at all.

A difficult day's defense passed again. When he saw that the Siam war drum outside the city tower stopped singing and the soldiers retreated like a tide, Ding Dingwei finally couldn't help shaking his body and closed his eyes to one side. A soldier who had followed him for many years was quick in his eyes and quick in his hands. At the same time, his eyes were filled with tears. After twenty days, his master didn't have a good sleep. I really can't imagine how he survived.

Taking advantage of no one's attention around, he used his own body as a bed and let Ding Dingwei fall asleep. Although the private soldier was also very tired, he insisted. If possible, he wanted to stand until dawn just to let the master have a good sleep and replenish his spirit.

Reality did not allow him to do so. Suddenly, something came under the tower in the dark night. First, there was a burst of gunfire and shouting in the Siamese barracks, which became a mess. Then soon, a cavalry came to the south gate, where someone shouted loudly.

The war situation changed suddenly. It was no longer a small soldier who could deal with it. Ding Dingwei, who was sleeping against him, was awakened by the cry. He suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "what's the matter? Where am I? What's the matter? The enemy will attack the city again?"

"Master, the Siamese military camp was suddenly in chaos for a while, and then someone shouted downstairs in Nancheng. Everyone didn't know what had happened." the soldier wanted Ding Dingwei to sleep for a while, but he knew that if something happened, it was up to the master to solve it.

"Go and have a look." although Ding Dingwei was still very sleepy, he narrowed for more than an hour and recovered some spirit. In line with his duty, he moved up the Nancheng gate.

At this time, on the south gate, there were hundreds of adult men standing there. They held torches and looked at the cavalry calling the city under the city. They were all face to face, but they didn't know what to do. One of them had asked, "did you send someone to invite the vice governor?"

"Yes, yes, I should come right away."

I can't help but say that they are the sixth young master. Let them open the city gate immediately. Then they will help defend the city together.

It should be said that Yang Chendong has many names, from dongshuai who first arrived at the capital, the military God who defended the capital when he defeated the warla army, Zhongdan Gong, the God of war who came later, Tian Khan to the king of Wunan, and so on. It can be said that one name is common everywhere, that is the sixth young master.

The name of the sixth young master is also known to the common people under the rule of the Yang family, but more people only hear his name and don't see him. Now some people say that the sixth young master is under the city, which will inevitably attract more attention. Some people are excited, but some people show a look of disbelief.

At this time, suweng city is so dangerous. The so-called gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall. I'm afraid it's too late to avoid it. How can such a noble person try his life? That's why they don't want to believe it at all.

But whether they believe it or not, isn't there a vice governor Dingwei in the city? A senior official like him should have met the sixth young master. Let him recognize it. Is it true or false at a glance?

"Young master, no, let's use explosives to open the city gate." Yang Er, one of the cavalry troops under the city, watched for a long time, and the city tower still didn't open. He was worried that the Siamese army attacked the camp would react and catch up soon, so he said in a hurry.

"No." Yang Chendong denied, "suweng city can be kept up to now by its high walls. It's not easy to keep it for so long. How can we be blown away by ourselves? We're still waiting."

Although he didn't know what happened in the city, Yang Chendong just saw a rough idea through the torch upstairs. It seemed that all the men were wearing people's clothes. With this, he saw the difficulty of guarding the city here. People have sacrificed their lives here. How could he blow up the city gate just to enter the city earlier?

Yang Chendong refused, and Yang Er on one side had to worry about Dao Xiao, the captain of the second guard team, and said, "send someone to inform Mr. Xiao Yining to block more for a while."

In the twinkling of an eye, half a column of incense passed, and there was a commotion from the city tower. Then a middle-aged man in a distinctive Zhongshan suit appeared next to the torch. Yang Chendong looked up in the light of the fire and recognized that this man was Ding Dingwei, vice governor of Cambodia province.

"Bring a torch." in order to let the other party see himself clearly, Yang Chendong said to Yang er. Immediately a torch was handed over. Yang Chendong personally took it in his hand, first took care of himself, and then shouted to the city tower: "vice governor Ding, I'm Yang Chendong. Open the door."

By the light of the torch, Ding Dingwei looked at Yang Chendong and suddenly shouted, "ah! If it's really the sixth young master, open the gate quickly."

When the Phnom Penh Dynasty surrendered, Yang Chendong went to Phnom Penh City and had a drink and chat with a group of officials there. It was at that time that Dingwei met Yang Chendong for the first time and couldn't forget it. Although it was dark now, he recognized it at a glance by the light of the torch.

Ding Dingwei confirmed his identity, and there was chaos under the city. Half of those who can live in suweng are from outside, and some are original aborigines. But no matter who they are, they don't know how many times they have heard the name of the sixth young master. Now I finally have the opportunity to see real people and even have close contact. Who is not very excited?

Soon the south gate was opened from the inside. Heiqi kept protecting Yang Chendong and walked into suweng. Behind them, 3000 Cambodian soldiers and the Fifth Army division also entered. Soon after the south gate was closed again, everything fell into peace again.

The city is bustling at the moment. A group of people guarding the city, led by Ding Dingwei, came to the front of the horse team. When there was still some distance, Ding Dingwei, who was headed by Ding Dingwei, paid homage, and kept shouting, "my lower officer has seen the sixth young master. Long live the sixth young master."

"Long live the sixth young master."

These are a group of subjects who are used to the feudal dynasty. Yang Chendong has long been surprised. He got off his horse and strode forward. This style made Yang ER and the black riders who followed him very nervous.

"Well, don't follow so closely. These people can defend the city until now without surrender, which shows their loyalty. How can it harm me." Yang Chendong felt that there were black riding dragon guards in front of and behind him, which was not conducive to his action. He frowned.

"Young master, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Yang Er didn't obey the order, but had his own set of rules.
