One by one, the Kyushu infantrymen holding rifles annihilated the resistance of Siamese soldiers in the outer city of the Great City.

Occasionally, a few gunshots rang out, and the Siamese soldiers hiding in the wooden house fell in a pool of blood, while several Siamese civilians were huddled in the corner of the wooden house in horror.

With a bang, the wooden door was kicked open, and the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army holding a rifle broke into the wooden house.

"Just now, he shot one of our brothers with a crossbow." A soldier from Kyushu pointed a rifle at the Siamese soldier who was lying on the ground, and a hunting crossbow was scattered beside him.

"The fighting spirit of these soldiers is really tenacious. We have broken through the outer city and are still resisting. Although they are our enemies, they are also worthy of admiration." said a lower-level officer.

"What should we do with these civilians?" A soldier from Kyushu pointed a rifle at the Siamese civilians curled up in the corner.

"They are just civilians, but it is not safe here. Some of the remaining Siamese soldiers are still fighting beasts in the alleys of the outer city, sending them to the shelter outside the city." said the lower-level officer.

"As for orders." Two soldiers from Kyushu Army signaled to these Siamese civilians to let them go out.

Several Siamese civilians looked very nervous. They didn't know if the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army handed them over and would slaughter them. They kept shaking their heads in horror. The elders among them protected the Siamese girl behind them and knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army.

Several soldiers from Jiuzhou Army looked at each other, and one of them said, "They seem to have misunderstood what we mean. What should we do?"

Lower-level officers are also extremely troubled, and communication is the biggest problem encountered in foreign wars. It is natural to attack the other party’s soldiers in the war, but they cannot harm these unarmed civilians. How can everyone on the other party know their intentions? This is very difficult.

Just when this Jiuzhou Army team was helpless, a man in Siamese costume walked in: "Dear soldiers, I am an overseas Chinese living in Siam. Your corps commander will summon us to help evacuate the civilians here, so I will leave it to me."

The lower-level officer was a little surprised: "It's great to have you deal with such a thing. We don't say what they say about Siam, and when we communicate with them, we will be blinded."

After the arrival of this Siam overseas Chinese, under his persuasion, several Siam civilians in the wooden house left under the escort of two Kyushu soldiers.

The lower-level officer walked out of the wooden house and looked at the inner city wall filled with black smoke. When the Jiuzhou army dispersed the civilians in the outer city, the Nanyang Fleet had already shelled the western wall of the inner city from the water.

"Only the inner city is left, unless a miracle reappears, it will be a matter of time to break the city." Even though he was just a subordinate officer and did not know the specific strategic deployment of his superiors, he had realized through his intuition that it would be a matter of time to capture the royal city.

Changyi, the commander of the 1st Corps of the South Conquest, welcomed Huang Degong of the 2nd Corps of the South Conquest, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

After the First Corps and the Nanyang Fleet razed the outer city to the ground, the transport ship transported the Second Corps from Hoi An Port to Ayutthaya and joined the First Corps.

Now the Kyushu Army has 20,000 troops on the shore of Ayutthaya, Siam.

"Captain of the Corps, we have dismissed tens of thousands of families in Ayutthaya and temporarily placed them in nearby villages or towns. However, many of them are resentful and clashed with our soldiers during the dismissal, so many people died." A statistics officer said to Chang Yi, with some concerns in his tone.

"This is also impossible... Some soldiers who resisted are still hiding in the outer city and need to be cleaned up. Ayutthaya Mansion will become a big battlefield, and I cannot tell when the war will end. Once the inner city is broken, it is very likely that this place will become a battlefield for fighting with the king-team troops in various places, and the farmland within a hundred miles will be destroyed. If they stay here and after a few more wars, the end will be very miserable. At that time, ten people may not be able to survive two or three." Chang Yi sighed.

It is very difficult to relocate tens of thousands of families, and it also wastes a lot of manpower and material resources. In fact, the Jiuzhou Army can ignore them and let them die in the outer city of the big city.

"Have you thought about how to resettle them?" Huang Degong first arrived at the battlefield in Siam and asked Changyi curiously.

"The military headquarters has made arrangements. Ayutthaya has been destroyed by the war and it will be difficult to recover in a short time. Moreover, this is a place where the Siam nobles are deeply rooted and it is no longer suitable to serve as a capital of the Siam State. Therefore, the military headquarters intends to move the residents inside to a place closer to the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, and is named by the military leader as a fishing village in Bangkok." Chang Yi said.

"Bangkok? Fishing Village? Why should a fishing village be used as the new capital of Siam?" Huang Degong was a little surprised.

"I guess there should be several reasons. Bangkok is near the estuary of the sea. If there is a rebellion, our fleet can arrive as soon as possible to quell the rebellion. Secondly, there will definitely be many refugees after the war. We cannot waste our food and disaster relief in vain, so we can just let them go to build a new city. It is also worth considering if we break away from the influence of the original Siamese nobles and establish our power. Finally, of course, this is the idea of ​​the military leader, and there should be no mistakes." Chang Yi said.

"I understand a little bit, the military headquarters has considered too much." Huang Degong said, "The main force in the attack on the inner city this time is your First Corps, and our Second Corps in the South is responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the King's Army on the periphery."

"Well, the Third Corps should have captured Bazhen's Mansion and is coming from the east. I believe that it will soon be able to pacify several mansions in the southeast. At that time, after our three corps have captured Ayutthaya, they will fight to the death with the royal army coming from the north."

Changyi opened the map of Siam and said to Huang Degong: "Look here, Siam can be divided into two parts: north and south. The land in the north is vast, but the south is a rich plain area near the sea, so the south is prosperous and has a larger population than the north. Many of us Chinese chose to live in the south when we moved to Siam. We can take strong control of this place. The north is close to the Dongshuo Kingdom, and wars often break out. The local people are strong and the local forces are strong. Even if we conquer Ayutthaya, it is very likely that Siam will not be able to surrender."
