Chapter 917

It was daybreak, and the news of the defeat in the front had not come. Zhiba city hit four doors as usual. Some listless Phnom Penh soldiers also walked towards the gate, preparing for a day's duty.

"Boom."

The earth trembled suddenly, which puzzled the Phnom Penh soldiers who still didn't sleep enough.

Look up at the sky. It's still sunny. It doesn't mean it's going to rain. Where does the thunder come from? Until a soldier inadvertently looked ahead and saw countless black spots approaching rapidly in the distance, he finally couldn't help shouting, "look! What's that?"

After a long silence, a hundred Phnom Penh soldiers first woke up and shouted, "it's the enemy, it's the cavalry, come on! Close the gate and everyone will withdraw to the city."

It was only at this time that I thought of retreating. It was too late. As a pioneer, Temur, the first regiment of cavalry in the world, has brought a group of brothers to the city. First, there was a long-range attack of bows and arrows. More than ten soldiers guarding the north gate were killed by arrows. The cavalry rushed into Zhiba like a torrent.

"The second regiment follows up and the third regiment is the last. Remember, after entering the city, close the four doors and prohibit anyone from going in and out, and never let one person go and release the news." division commander Tian Hu galloped on his horse and gave a military order.

The later the footprints of the first cavalry division are known by the enemy, the better it will be for them. Tian Hu knows that their advantage is that they are fast enough and charge hard enough. For example, Musketeers also need to stop and aim at the target when charging. They don't need to. They just need constant impact and kill the enemy on the way of charging. But they also have their own disadvantages, that is, once they are involved in the siege, their strength will be greatly restrained, and how to take advantage of their unprepared to enter the enemy city has become something he needs to plan and consider.

When the cavalry entered the city, all those who blocked the way were cut in half by the saber. Ignoring the impact of human life, the roads in the city were soon empty, so as to ensure that the cavalry could run quickly in the city without restriction.

It was precisely because the speed was fast enough that the two thousand defenders in Zhiba city did not understand what had happened. Even the soldiers who asked for help did not have time to go out of the city, they were surrounded by a strong body, and the rebels were killed. Occasionally, some people who had left the city were caught up by the cavalry who went out of the city. If they refused to return to the city, they would only die.

Two hours later, just before noon, the situation in Zhiba city was under control. The people lived at home, the surrendered soldiers were locked up in the barracks, and the management of the whole city fell into the hands of division commander Tian Hu.

"Tell everyone to eat and have a rest as soon as possible, and then continue on the way." Tian Hu ordered the messenger beside him while eating the hot food prepared by the cook here in the city master's house.

After noon, the vast army of bicycles finally arrived. As soon as Lengfeng's fourth division appeared outside the city, the north gate of Zhiba city was opened from the inside, and a column of cavalry poured out, making a gesture of welcome to the city.

"The first Cavalry Division in the world is really fast enough." with a sigh, Daqiang led the army into the city. Only half an hour later, the first division of the world cavalry, who had got a proper rest, went out of the city again. They only handed over the management of Zhiba city to the fourth division of Lengfeng.

In this regard, some officers of Lengfeng fourth division naturally looked unhappy. They are the main force. Now they are just like the logistics army receiving goods. But they had no way. They rushed all the way, that is, their legs on the bicycle were sore. Now they had no strength to continue fighting out of the city. The name of this pioneer can only continue to be placed on the first Cavalry Division in the world.

Compared with Leng Feng's fourth division, which was only a few hours late, 8000 auxiliary soldiers and 8000 Lao troops rushed to Zhiba city early the next morning. Then the management of the city was suitable again. Lengfeng's fourth division went straight to Kratie City, another important place of the Phnom Penh Dynasty in the south.

Kratie City, the main city in the north of Phnom Penh Dynasty. The population is nearly 300000, and there are about 5000 troops stationed at ordinary times. According to the rank, Zhao en, the general guarding the city, belongs to the three rank generals of the Phnom Penh Dynasty and has no small power.

The five blockades and the capture of Zhiba city did not return, and the protection of Kratie city was as usual without any strengthening. General Zhao en didn't know that a great disaster was coming. He was still listening to music, eating and drinking in the general's house in the city, as usual.

After a long night's gallop, the first cavalry division finally arrived ten miles outside Kratie city before dawn. The reconnaissance cavalry in front has sent back the news that there is no place to hide the army outside the north city. Division commander Tian Hu ordered everyone to rest in place ten miles away to maintain their spirit and rush into the city.

"This is the information sent by the Security Bureau. This is the location of the city master's house, the general's house, the granary and the warehouse in the city..." after quickly naming seven or eight very important positions, Tian Hu gave orders to the three leaders to arrange where each regiment needs to occupy and control once they rushed into the city.

It was bright, the gate of Kratie city was wide open, and the first division of the world cavalry ten miles away launched an assault. Just like in Zhiba City, the appearance of cavalry caught the defenders in the city unprepared. The same thing is that the city gate was not closed in time. The cavalry killed, dozens of bows and arrows broke through the air and took people's lives. At the same time, the cavalry rushed into the city, and Kratie city fell.

The general summoned grace to resist and was killed. The city Lord and a group of city officials were captured alive. The only regret is that the beacon fire in the city was lit, and the war here was spread.

"Just spread it out. We can't kill all the way to the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. In this way, we wait for the cold front fourth division to arrive and the army to rest in place." Tian Hu's face didn't show an angry look. Even if it was a sneak attack, he had to be prepared to be found. He occupied two cities in two days, and one of them was an important town. It was their cavalry team that was the least good at attacking the city. He was very satisfied with the result.

In the evening, Leng Feng's fourth division was ready to appear. At one time, the two armies converged in Kratie city. At this moment, when the teachers and regiments of both sides were present, they had long lost the contempt in their eyes, but only admired them.

Tian Hu and others admire the tenacity of Leng Feng's fourth division. They just pedal their bicycles with their legs and follow them all the way. They haven't been pulled down for six hours, that is, half a day. This tenacity alone is enough to be respected.

What makes Daqiang and others admire is the momentum of the first Cavalry Division in the world. They come all the way, and everywhere they go is like entering a no man's land. Such an army and such powerful combat power make them respect from the bottom of their hearts.

"Mr. Ling, the news has been exposed. We want to appear in the form of sneak attack. I'm afraid it's impossible. Please give you the next thing to attack Chuanlong city." Tian Hu talked about the war in front of him, that is, attacking the city. Of course, it's mainly a cold front with all firearms.

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Mr. Tian is tired all the way, and his horses need to replenish forage. This battle depends on the performance of the fourth division." Ling Daqiang was polite. In my heart, I had a feeling of elation. I was always ahead of the first cavalry division all the way. This time, I can finally show it well.

"OK." Tian Hu still answered with a calm face. Maybe he saw what Ling Daqiang meant, maybe he didn't. But they are all part of the mercenary army, and some jobs need to cooperate with each other.

Making Daqiang laugh and leave, Tian Hu said to the messenger around him: "inform the three commanders and let them and the soldiers have a good rest. There will be another big battle soon."

Leng Feng's fourth division moved quickly, perhaps eager to show itself. As soon as the four auxiliary vanguard battalions responsible for receiving captured materials arrived at noon the next day, they handed over the task of guarding Kratie city. Then the army went out of the city and rushed to Chuanlong city 120 miles ahead.

Standing on the tower of Kratie City, Temur watched the fourth division of Lengfeng leave the city. Some couldn't help saying, "did we hand over the task of pioneer?"

"Of course not. But now, rest is the main thing." Tian Hu shook his head and then said to his three leaders in an ordered tone.

Leng Feng's fourth division left Kratie city and spent the afternoon cycling to the outside of Chuanlong city. Facing the closed city gate, the division commander ordered Daqiang to give an order, and the mortar roared. When it hit the North City, a huge gap appeared. The charge horn sounded in the regiment already prepared, and 2000 soldiers rushed into the outside of Chuanlong city.

The siege was so unexpectedly smooth that the commander of the Chinese army, Ling Daqiang, put down his telescope and shook his head. "It seems that the enemy has retreated. This is a city that no one will stick to. It is likely to be a trap."

"Trap? The teacher means that the Phnom Penh Dynasty wants to lead us in, and then catch us in a urn..." he immediately felt that his metaphor was inappropriate, and he Wen, the second regimental commander, hurriedly stopped his mouth.

"It's not pleasant to hear, but that's what it should mean." teacher Ling Daqiang said dismissively.

"Even so, let's just stay outside the city and find a wide area to see what tricks they can play." Lu zhengleng, the third regimental commander, snorted. Obviously, he looked down on this little trick played by three-year-old children.
