Six hundred and ninetieth chapters machine gun sweeper
Ten hand-cranked Gatling machine guns lined up, and the machine gunner shook the machine crazily, and metal bullets shot out, landing in the group of elephant soldiers opposite.
The thick-skinned and thick-skinned war elephants were as fragile as tofu in front of metal bullets. The bullets easily penetrated into their bodies, causing the war elephants to make a whine sound. The heavy war elephants fell heavily to the ground and threw the Siamese soldiers riding on it out of the wooden frame, making them covered in blood.
Some sub-guns mounted on the war elephant also fell off because the war elephant fell down, and the big sword, spear, bow, arrow, and armor fell all over the ground.
With a chirping sound, several shrunk shells landed above the battle elephant herd, and the detonation tube burned out and exploded! Dozens of iron projectiles inside flew scattered, killing the Siamese soldiers riding on the battle elephant on the spot!
The domesticated wild elephants behind were panicked by the loud noise of machine guns and artillery, and they did not obey the command and trampled on each other. Some war elephants turned around and trampled on their infantry formation, wanting to escape from this battlefield.
The Siamese soldiers in the infantry phalanx instinctively made a way out, while some farmers who had not had time to avoid were trampled into meat paste by the out-of-control war elephants.
"Don't mess up the formation!" The Siamese general was tearing his voice and running back and forth in the square formation on his war horse, trying his best to stabilize the formation of the Siamese army.
In the plains of the Siam Bazhen Mansion, nearly 10,000 local troops of the Siam Kingdom set up their formation here and fought a decisive battle with the Third Corps of the South that invaded from the Angkor Kiln.
One hundred war elephants were placed in the middle of the military formation as the main force of the attack. These war elephants had wooden frames for fixing soldiers. Some of the soldiers on them held bows and arrows and muskets to shoot from a long distance, and some held spears to fight in close combat. In the vision of the Siamese generals, the plains of Bazhen Mansion were very suitable for large-scale elephant soldiers to fight. As long as the elephant soldiers penetrated the opponent's formation and the soldiers behind them covered and killed them, they could defeat the evil Jiuzhou Army.
However, when the elephant soldiers began to charge, the artillery and machine guns of the Jiuzhou Army began to bombard the elephant soldiers' formation at a distance of hundreds of meters, killing the proud elephant soldiers of Siam to the point of falling.
"The artillery battalion adjusted its attack target, and the target was the opponent's infantry position!"
"Each infantry battalion is ready to attack!"
Cao Bianjiao issued orders repeatedly.
The artillery has destroyed the fighting spirit of the opponent's elephant soldiers. Their elephant soldiers can no longer control the battle elephant. The next step is to destroy the opponent's infantry.
After several rounds of artillery, the local infantry in Siam collapsed quickly like soldiers. Or they were already nervous when their killer elephant soldiers collapsed, and under the offensive of the Jiuzhou Army artillery, they collapsed.
"Charge!" The battalion officers of various infantry battalions drew out their sharp command knives, and soldiers lined up around them held Dresser rifles and launched a crushing battle to harvest people's heads.
They rushed forward while filling and firing. The dense bullets killed the Siamese soldiers in the front with a better range. After getting closer, the soldiers of the Kyushu Army took out the bayonet and put them on the rifle, and began a bloodier hand-to-hand combat. In order to avoid accidental injury, the artillery in the rear had been turned off, and the gunners in the artillery position stayed there to see how the infantry harvested the battlefield.
Compared with the shooting of bullets, the bayonet formation composed of the Jiuzhou Army, which has stricter military discipline, is actually more effective in killing. Any Siamese soldiers who block their way forward will become dead souls under the sword!
A Siamese soldier holding a big sword shield and saw a wall of swords pressing towards him. He was so scared that he took a few steps back and tripped by the corpse behind him, watching the wall of bayonets submerge him.
Originally, there was a three-meter-long spear phalanx in front of the Siamese army, which might be able to block the bayonet charge of the Jiuzhou Army infantry in hand-to-hand combat. However, the spear phalanx had collapsed in the shooting of the Jiuzhou Army artillery and muskets. The melee infantry and some farmers who made up the numbers were exposed, without any resistance.
"General, where is the general?!" Siamese deputy general, covered in dust, searched back and forth in the chaotic military formation to find the general who was still commanding the battle not long ago.
"He has already run away with his personal soldiers!" A low-level officer removed his armor, pulled out his clothes from a dead soldier, and then changed to himself. "We should escape, and we can't be the opponent of these Chinese people!"
"Damn it, don't take me if you run away!" The deputy general was so angry that he threw his iron helmet to the ground, and then squatted down and took off his clothes.
After about two hours, the Third Corps of the South End ended the mobilization of the local troops of Bazhen Mansion, and then buried the bodies to avoid causing plague here.
The Conquest Corps did not have many war horses and did not have enough energy to intercept all the Siamese troops participating in the war, so some Siamese soldiers fled. However, Cao Bianjiao did not intend to destroy the local Siamese army at one time. Now his mission is to try his best to defeat the royal army gathered in various places and gain time for the main forces attacking the royal city.
"This time we killed more than a thousand people, captured more than two thousand people, and a considerable number of Siamese soldiers fled." An officer reported the results of this battle to Cao Bianjiao, "We only suffered dozens of casualties."
"Try to maintain this state, march towards the capital of Bazhen Mansion, and let this mansion surrender to us." Cao Bianjiao led the army to continue advancing.
There were more than a dozen important prefectures in the Siam State, each of which had local generals, and the local forces were very strong. After Ayutthaya was besieged by the main force of the Jiuzhou Army, generals from various places rose up one after another, with their own ulterior motives. Among them, there were generals who were loyal to Ayutthaya, who were organizing troops to support Ayutthaya.
Cao Bianjiao, a partial division that attacked Siam from land, disrupted the plans of the local generals of Siam. They had to consider whether to rescue Ayutthaya or block this partial division that appeared.
Siam was a pot of porridge, especially the Ayutthaya of Siam. The outer walls of the Kyushu army had been destroyed by artillery of the Kyushu army, and some blasting hands were also present, almost destroying the outer city of the Ayutthaya.
The 20,000 royal divisions in Ayutthaya retreated to the inner city and made their final resistance with the crumbling inner city. Looking from the inner city to the outer city, you can see beacons everywhere, wooden houses on fire in the outer city, and black smoke was still emitting black smoke. There were also sporadic sounds of artillery and muskets. It was the Jiuzhou Army who was cleaning up the remaining enemy troops in the outer city.
A group of Siamese generals knelt in front of the Siamese king: "King, it's a matter of time before the fall of the inner city is about to happen. Please and you and the princes escape from the city in time. As long as you are still here, we can make a comeback."
