Chapter 140 “God” soldiers descend from the sky

Chenla, Baima City.

Condon, the governor of Baima, also heard about the atrocities committed by the Vietnamese army. Now the Vietnamese are actually rushing to Baima City, and just now he actually drove away his savior.

"Quick! Go and invite the Zhenla Heavenly Army back!"

Jin Pan, an official outside Baima City, was still thinking about how to escape, but after learning that the Baima prefect invited him to the city, he made up his mind. If the Vietnamese retreated in the face of difficulties, he would seize Baima City. If Baima City could not be defended,

If you want to live there, offer the city and surrender.

On the other hand, Kampong Som had received intelligence from the believers about a Vietnamese army rampaging in Kampot Province.

To be honest, the growth rate of the Vietnamese army is a bit scary. In a few days, the number of soldiers doubled.

However, according to the interpretation of the holy scriptures, the Vietnamese army only supplemented some strong men and masters. These people will need to go through at least several battles to become combat effective. At present, only two places in Kampot Province, namely Baima City and Kien County, are relatively prosperous.

But as you can tell from the name, the latter is by no means an easy place to attack.

According to the instructions of the Holy Scriptures, the priests required to launch an attack on the new Vietnamese army to eliminate the opponent's effective forces before they could form combat effectiveness. Ambrosius also supported this approach. After all, Kampong Som was short of manpower. Compared with passive defense, active defense was more important.

It is easier to concentrate forces during an attack and take advantage of Austria's advanced weapons and tactics.

But if Franz is here, he will definitely stop their crazy behavior. Kung Fu originally only had more than a thousand troops, plus the temporarily trained 3,000 militiamen, the total number is only 4,000, and some people have to be left behind.

I'm afraid not many people can be mobilized to defend the city.

The intelligence shows that the Vietnamese army plundered at least 100,000 people. This is of course an exaggeration by the local believers, but even if it is folded in half, this number is quite scary. Coupled with the Zhenla people who may rebel at any time, it is impossible to

Lanz really doesn't know how to win.

The reality is that Europeans in this era have no idea what defeat is. Ever since the Spanish defeated the Inca Empire's 80,000 troops with 169 people, countless legends and rumors have dominated the mainstream of public opinion.

The church's brainwashing work has also been very successful. These temporary armies of parishioners don't even ask how many enemies there are. They just want to know where the enemies are?

The church's mobilization ability also far exceeded Franz's estimate. Of the more than 600 Europeans in Kampong, 590 were ready to participate in the battle. In addition to the 800 skitarii and 3,000 temporarily organized militia, another five were mobilized.

Thousands of religious people came to deliver supplies, and this time it can be said that Kung Fu was mobilized in full force.

Outside Baima City, the dark Vietnamese army began to set up camp, cutting down trees to build ladders, and even pushed several cannons weighing a thousand kilograms from nowhere.

Despite the heavy weight of these artillery pieces, the caliber is actually not large, it's just that the workmanship is lagging behind.

These Vietnamese cannons are more of a deterrent, otherwise there would be no need to cut down trees to build ladders.

The gates of Baima City were closed tightly, and an envoy was sent to Fan Chu's barracks with gold, silver and food, hoping to make the Vietnamese retreat.

However, Fan Zhu directly chopped down the envoy of Baima City and asked his men to tell the Baima Governor that if the city gate was not opened, the entire Baima City would be massacred when the Vietnamese heavenly troops broke through the city.

The city of Baima was filled with an atmosphere of fear and depression. In order to appease the emotions of the civilians in the city, Kangdon, the governor of Baima, told the people that 8,000 Chenla troops had entered the city and there was no need to fear the Vietnamese outside the city.

However, this was exploited by Vietnamese spies who had sneaked into Baima City. They claimed that the Vietnamese were only here to suppress the bandits and not to massacre the city. It was the collusion between the Baima prefect and the rebels that offended the great Vietnamese nation. As long as the city gates were opened, the magnified

When the Vietnamese army enters the city, the superior officers of the Greater Vietnam Kingdom will definitely let them go.

As a result, there was chaos in Baima City, and the North City Gate was actually captured by civilians. Naturally, the Vietnamese would not miss this opportunity, so they stormed the North City Gate. After a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered losses, but the morale in Baima City was

It has reached its lowest point.

At this time, Guan Jinpan was regretting why he did not choose to stay in Kampong Som, but instead chose to come to Kampot to grab territory.

Guan Jinpan's troops suffered heavy losses. Everyone looked at the city wall with horrified eyes, as if monsters would rush in at any time outside the city. The defenders of Baima City didn't even know why they had to suffer such a disaster.

They all looked downcast.

At night, there are still occasional battles in the city, and the Vietnamese outside are not idle either. They use the old-fashioned artillery collected from everywhere to fire a few shots occasionally, which can scare the city defenders into fear.

In the daytime battle, the Vietnamese army only lost some temporarily captured strong men. They were not Vietnamese at all, but Chenla people.

It can be said that these strong men really fought hard to survive. There were only more than 3,000 people, but they rushed into the Baima City with 10,000 defenders. Although more than 2,000 people were killed, the Zhenla people who were hacked to death were not

I know how many times it is.

Fan Zhu treated these surviving strong men favorably, and they will become the backbone of the Vietnamese army in the future. In today's attack, Fan Zhu just wanted to test the defensive strength of Baima City, but he obviously overestimated his opponent. If he attacked the North with all his strength today,

City Gate, I am afraid that the Vietnamese have already captured Baima City at this time.

But if today's commotion at the North City Gate is just a trap by the Chenla people, then he will have to pay a huge price for it.

Fan Zhu planned to use the strong men for three days first. After all, most of the defenders in Baima City were just civilians and the so-called Zhenla rebels. They could not adapt to the high-pressure environment of the battlefield. Three days of continuous harassment would break their spirit.

Disperse, and then send the main Vietnamese force to wipe out all the rebels in the city.

Obviously, Fan Zhu regarded the remnant Zhenla army in front of Baima City as the team that destroyed Renyu and Luo Jian. He thought that as long as Baima City was conquered, Zhenla's resistance forces could be completely wiped out.

Three days of fighting have exhausted the strength of the Zhenla people in Baima City. Many of the officers and soldiers defending the city have become nervous due to poor sleep, coupled with the continuous fighting and non-stop riots.

The main force of the Vietnamese army, which had rested for three days, was waiting for the cannon fodder at the North City Gate to launch the fourth attack.

While the cannon fodder launches the fourth attack, the main force of the Vietnamese army will attack the South City Gate. News has been sent to the internal intelligence in the city. As soon as the main force of the Vietnamese army arrives, the South City Gate will be opened.

At that time, the Vietnamese army will be able to march straight in and annihilate the Chenla army in the city in one fell swoop.

The battle at the North City Gate was bloody and cruel. The strong men were driven by the supervising team and rushed towards the city with roars.

The officers in the city whipped the coolies hard and asked them to carry ammunition and stones to the top of the city.

The old-fashioned artillery let out a dull roar and shattered a piece of the battlement. The rubble flew and the defenders on the city let out a scream.

Some cannonballs fell among the strong men below the city, leaving an alley of flesh and blood.

At the same time, the South Gate was quickly captured by the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese soldiers who swarmed in killed everyone they saw and had no intention of fulfilling their promise.

Everything was as Fan Zhu expected, but at the same time that the Vietnamese army invaded Kep City, an army from Kampong Som appeared behind them.

There should be another chapter tonight, which will end the story of Zhen La as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
