Outside the big city is a wilderness, and not far away is a river. The river water has soared due to the heavy rain recently.

This river becomes the border between the two armies.

The Siamese had thought of demolishing the stone bridge on the river, but it was too late because it was close to the royal capital, and the stone bridge was extremely strong. Even if it was demolished, it would not be possible in one or two days.

Therefore, Zhaolu Qunying dispatched a battalion of troops to wait here, and originally wanted to intercept the Ming army here, but then he thought about it, the battalion of troops retreated again.

The reason is that this King Zhaolu Qunying is also a proficient in military tactics. The two armies confront each other along the river, and the other party's artillery is sharp. If the cannon is bombarded on the other side of the river, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Siam army.

So he deliberately ordered people to retreat two miles and stare at them, just to wait for the Ming army to cross the river.

If the Ming army crossed the river, they would immediately rushed up and intercept them halfway through the river, so that they could not look after each other and defeated them in one fell swoop.

This tactic is quite popular and is indeed effective.

Therefore, more than 10,000 troops in Siam were distributed around the stone bridge, preparing for the last attack.

Zhaolu Qunying had calmed down. No matter whether this calmness was for people to see or not, even if he was extremely nervous or even fearful, he still had a certain leadership temperament. He wore golden armor and rode on the battle elephant himself, leading two hundred elephant soldiers to wait patiently. This elephant soldier was his ultimate weapon.

The Ming army opposite was almost every move in Zhaolu Qunying's eyes. Their number was not large, and they were all calculated. There were only about five thousand, so of course Zhaolu Qunying did not dare to underestimate it. In fact, he still doesn't understand why the 5,000-strong army marched for more than 300 miles within ten days, which obviously contrary to his cognition and the cognition of the military and civilians of the city.

When the Ming army landed in Luo Yong, Zhaolu Qunying had ordered the news to be blocked. The reason for blocking the news was nothing more than to calm people's hearts. He thought that he had enough time to prepare to drive this lonely army into the sea. As a result... this made people shaken. For ordinary soldiers and civilians, a Ming army came in a confused manner and immediately came to Dacheng City. Although the government has repeatedly promoted it, this was a lonely army from the sea. However, not many people believed it. No one is a fool. Can there be so many military horses at sea? It is said that it will be ten days to arrive at Dacheng City. Even ordinary people who do not need supplies at all, let alone an army.

But many people were convinced that this army came from Zhenla. If it were from Zhenla, there were 100,000 elite soldiers in Siam, how could the Ming army come from? So rumors spread everywhere. It is said that in Zhenla, the 100,000 elite soldiers in Siam were wiped out, and the Ming army was already unstoppable and the soldiers arrived in the city.

Such rumors are the most terrifying. Even Zhaolu Qunying was anxious and angry, because both the military and civilians in the city and outside the city believed it. Then 100,000 Siam elite soldiers were no match for the Ming army. So, would the more than 10,000 old and weak in this capital be the opponent of the Ming army?

What's even more terrifying is that many of the Zhenla military horses were relatives in the city, so the whole city was filled with sorrow. Many people had prepared their sons and brothers to die in battle. Although many people hated the Ming army, to some extent, they were also very dissatisfied with Zhaolu Qunying.

Yes, if you hadn't been determined and had to go against the Ming Dynasty, how could you let the Ming army go to war against Siam? If it weren't for you, how could they die?

This dissatisfaction comes from the military and civilians, and there are also a considerable number of nobles.

On the one hand, these people were planning for their own wealth and life. The strength of the Ming Dynasty was once again confirmed that once Siam was defeated, it would be time to settle the matter. Moreover, now, the king's people's hearts were all lost. Even if he barely saved the city, it would be unpredictable. Many ambitious people, and even some aristocratic forces that were suppressed by Zhaolu Qunying, took advantage of the emptiness of the city and were already a little sharpened.

Zhaolu Qunying can certainly understand all this, which is also the reason why he is eager to fight decisively. The Ming army is alone and naturally hopes to win quickly. Now he is eager to fight quickly, in order to solve this external trouble immediately and return to the capital as quickly as possible to suppress those ambitious rebels.

Zhaolu Qunying was eager for the Ming army to attack, and was extremely eager. His eyes were always staring at the south, waiting for the decisive battle.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The battle situation was very clear. After the Ming army had a small rest on the riverside, a scout immediately sent the Siam Army deployed along the river to the temporary Central Army camp.

After Hao Fenglou held his chin and rejected all the possibilities, he immediately began to listen to the suggestions of the staff.

Most of these staff members were veterans or injured military officers. Most of them were missing their arms and legs. Although they no longer practiced, they studied tactics every day and read books. They read everything from the Four Books and Five Classics to many miscellaneous studies, and even many military tactics in ancient times. Culture and their experience in joining the army made them not like those Zhao Kuo, who only knew how to talk about war on paper.

After dozens of staff members carefully discussed the last plan, the last plan was delivered to Hao Fenglou.

The Chief of Staff was a man in his thirties, a one-eyed dragon. His eyes were hit by a stray bullet and he finally saved his life. What was most indignant about this guy was that he had not been attacked by the enemy, but he was killed by a "person". However, no matter what, he was lucky in disguise. After retreating, he was immediately arranged to enter the martial arts lecture hall for further study. Because of his excellent talent, he quickly proposed many tactics that were in line with the Divine Mechanics, and even tried the battle in the Beijing Defense War. Because of his combat tactics, he achieved great results. Therefore, this person was noticed by Hao Fenglou and promoted to the Chief of Staff in one fell swoop.

The Chief of Staff is a new official position, but his power is not small. Although he only manages seventy or eighty staff members, these staff members not only formulate training and combat plans, but more importantly, they have the right to supervise. Those staff members wander around the camp every day and can directly impeach illegal acts from commanders and ordinary soldiers. Officers and soldiers under a hundred households even have the right to directly punish them.

The chief of staff was named Liu Mingxing, and Hao Fenglou complained about it many times because of this name. But now the one-eyed general who he relied on at this time made people laugh and cry.

The enemy's purpose is to cross the river and attack. Since that's the case, then just use the trick and let a battalion of troops cross the river and fight the Siam army at the bridgehead.

Then... it's gone!

Liu Mingxing saw Hao Fenglou's suspicion. In fact, this so-called strategy is no different from having or not. However, Liu Mingxing still speaks loudly: "Sir, our army's strength is far above the Siamese people, but the number of the other side is large. To dismantle them, we will no longer have a protracted battle. What we need is to defeat them directly from the front with an elite force and completely hit their aura. This is a sharp knife, head-on and head-on, and time will be delayed, which is not good for us. Only in this way can we decide."

"And the Jinyiwei has collected a lot of news from the city. Many people in the city are ready to move, but now they are watching. If we take the most direct measures at this time, even if we are at a disadvantage, we can still have a great victory, then the Siamese will definitely have civil strife."

Hao Fenglou looked at the two commanders, but the two commanders had no objection. In fact, what they were concerned about was whether Lang San Guard or Shenmao was drawing troops to make this sharp knife.

The Shenjiwei has made great achievements in combat, so there is no need to say that in their eyes, I am the best in the world, and others will be three points shorter when they see me. Who can I not?

Lang San Wei, as a later saying, said that my big sword was already hungry and thirsty. After so long, I had no record of being able to show off. However, Lang San Wei is actually better at attacking difficulties than the God of Mechanics. They believe that they are not inferior to the God of Mechanics, so they have already held their breath and wanted to achieve some results in this battle.

Hao Fenglou looked at the commander of Lang San Wei, Zeng Guodong. Zeng Guodong immediately understood and fell to the ground without saying a word, swearing: "Sir, Lang San Wei can take on the heavy responsibility of this battle. The guards have already sharpened their swords and waited for a command from the Lord. All the guards, who dare not be free of life, are willing to die generously and serve the Lord."

Hao Fenglou stood up and said, "There is no need to die. If you even have to deal with these Siamese people, what is the use of me to support you? I will defeat the Siamese elites and kill them so much that they don't even know their parents."

So everyone laughed. Zeng Guodong was holding his breath now, waiting to vent, focusing on the key points, and going to settle down.

He Jian couldn't help but complain: "Although Lang San Guard has also passed through the battle formation, he has never been alone, sir, the God of War..."
