Chapter 1036 Help in the Battle!
"Your Majesty is waiting for you to come back." The attendant looked back with a nervous expression, "You hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." "
The current domestic situation in Siam is very complicated, and Emperor Sompa is very afraid of General Powi.
In recent years, due to the support of the Western Turks, the power of General Powe in Siam has continued to expand, and even has the potential to overwhelm Emperor Sompha.
If it continues to develop, there is no guarantee that he will not sideline Sompa and secretly control Siam.
This time, Emperor Songpa chose Dasong. As he said himself, it was a gamble.
If he wins the bet, he can at least keep his position and authority. If he loses, it will only trigger Povey's rebellion in advance.
"We'll be back."
Shangyi nodded and led the Qinglong Army soldiers to turn around and leave.
Not long after Shangyi left, Zong La appeared.
Seeing that the envoy of Dasong disappeared, his face darkened.
Then he came to Madol, who was full of doubts, "Colonel Madol, General Powe has made up his mind that Siam can no longer be ruled by the cowardly Sompa, and he has decided to raise his troops to rebel."
When Madol heard this, he perked up and said, "This is really a gratifying choice. Your choice will not be wrong."
Just now he was wondering why the Dashong delegation suddenly left, but now he understands.
The person who came just now must be someone from Songpa. He revealed the news to the Dasong envoy.
Thinking of this, he felt a pity.
His face was still hurting. If they had not run away, he would have personally killed the envoy and the Dasong soldiers he led.
"Of course, General Povey and I both firmly believe that your Western Territory will eventually win." Zong La smiled.
After a pause, he showed a pleading look, "But you also know that now the Dasong army is on the east and west sides of Siam. If the Dasong envoys have escaped, the war between Siam and Dasong will be inevitable. So, I hope you can Fight alongside our General Powi and send troops to Siam."
Although Powe's power is huge, it doesn't mean that Songpa doesn't have the power to fight back.
Therefore, Powe not only wanted to follow the Western Turks to defeat the Dashong people, but also wanted to defeat Songpa and officially overthrow Songpa's rule.
"This..." Madol immediately showed a troubled expression.
Naturally, he does not have this authority, and the matter needs to be reported to Admiral Wesley.
But he guessed that Admiral Wesley would most likely not agree to this.
Because it is nearly three thousand miles from Singapore in Malacca to the Imperial City of Siam.
Crossing such a distance to reach Siam and directly engage the Tasung army, unless they were crazy.
By sea, their steamships could deliver their troops to Siam in just three days.
However, since the combined fleet has too few steamships, it will not be able to deliver many troops, which is a drop in the bucket.
But he couldn't say this to Zong La face to face, otherwise Bo Wei would probably think that he had been abandoned by Xi Tu, and would no longer support them.
Now, he must stabilize Bovi and make him work for the Western Turks.
As for whether he will send troops, that will have to wait until he returns.
So, he said: "Of course, we will definitely send troops to help you. You can act boldly and wait for the arrival of our troops."
Zong La listened with a smile on his face.
With Madol's promise, he felt at ease.
Now, he can go back and report back to Powi, and from now on he will officially raise his troops to rebel and control the Siamese Imperial City.
While the two were talking, Shangyi had already left the city and headed east.
At this moment, the Blue Dragon Army is stationed in Poipet City, Funan Kingdom, 200 kilometers away.
Due to the emergency, the group marched day and night and returned to Poipet City at noon on the third day.
At this time, Shangyi and the soldiers were almost exhausted.
When he saw Qin Shan, he immediately told the situation in Siam.
"This is not surprising. After all, the Westerners have been running Siam for decades." Qin Shan said.
Immediately, he looked towards the direction of the Imperial City of Siam and said, "Without further delay, Mu An and Guo Yong, you two will immediately lead the troops with me and set off to the Imperial City of Siam to help Songpa wipe out Powe and other pro-Western forces. Shang Yi, you can rest. Rest and start again later.”
"It's not necessary." Shangyi said, "The general can just ride on horseback. This time the battle south was fought by the First Army and the Second Army. This time it is our Third Army's turn to fight."
Qin Shan smiled and said, "Okay, then you will be the vanguard this time."
Mu An and Guo Yong did not argue with Shang Yi, after all, what he said was the truth.
Upon hearing this, Shangyi suddenly felt the fatigue in his body disappear, and immediately rushed out of the room and returned to the camp to order troops.
Mu An and Guo Yong also went back separately.
At this time, Qinshan asked people to send envoys to Zhao Xu and Guan Tong respectively.
After an afternoon of preparation, the Qinglong Army crossed the border between Funan and Siam and entered the Kingdom of Siam the next day.
In order to guard against them, Siam deployed 80,000 troops opposite Poipet.
Only more than 3,000 of the 80,000 Siamese soldiers were equipped with rifled guns, half of the remaining soldiers were equipped with matchlocks, and the rest still held swords.
Because Songpa was not very interested in going north to conquer Dasong.
The Western Turks did not treat Jiaozhi and Piaoman like they did, and gave them a large number of muskets and artillery.
Even this only rifled gun was specially given by Wesley to Povey's direct troops.
In addition to the three thousand rifle soldiers at the border, there are also three thousand rifle soldiers deployed in Prachinburi controlled by Powai.
After the encounter between the two armies, Shangyi was preparing to launch an attack.
At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of the Siamese army, and they seemed to be fighting on their own.
Shangyi immediately realized that there must be a conflict between the army controlled by Songpa and the army controlled by Bowei.
So he immediately asked the scouts to conduct reconnaissance.
Get in touch with the army controlled by Songpa.
About half an hour later, the scouts returned and brought the news, "General, the 20,000 troops controlled by Bowei have defeated Songpa's 60,000 troops and are about to collapse. The muskets and artillery of Bowei's army are much better than those of Songpa's army."
After a pause, he continued: "Now, Bowei's army is in the southwest, and Songpa's army is in the northwest."
Shangyi nodded and immediately shouted: "The Third Army, attack to the southwest and annihilate these grandsons from the flank."
His order came down, and the generals of the Third Army led the soldiers into the battlefield.
The scattered soldiers holding Qin-style rifles in front opened the way, and the machine gun team followed behind.
After walking about ten miles, they arrived at the battlefield.
At this moment, the soldiers with rifles in the Povi army were lined up in a horizontal formation to shoot at the Songpa army with flintlocks on the opposite side.
Under the rifles of the Povi army, Songpa's army was vulnerable, and a large number of soldiers continued to die.
Seeing this, the Qinglong soldiers immediately aimed at the rifled soldiers of Povi, and the machine gun team was also ready and aimed their guns.
Everything was in place, and with an order, the Qin rifles and machine guns spewed out flames at the same time.
The dense rain of bullets instantly covered the riflemen of the Povi army.
These riflemen fell one by one before they could react.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 3,000 rifled soldiers were killed or injured.
While the machine gunners and some soldiers were targeting the rifled soldiers, other Qinglong soldiers were also shooting the flintlock soldiers of the Povi army.
In the same period, the flintlock soldiers also suffered heavy casualties.
Faced with the sudden attack of the Qinglong Army and its own heavy casualties, Bowie's army collapsed and the remaining soldiers immediately dispersed.
At this time, Shangyi led his troops to join Songpa's army.
Sure enough, the generals who led the troops told Shangyi that it was because they received orders from Bowie and Songpa respectively that they fought each other.
After confirming this, Shangyi immediately marched towards the Royal City of Siam with Songpa's generals.
Obviously, Bowie and Songpa had officially broken up.
They needed to help Songpa defeat Bowie in the civil war.
In this way, they could successfully control Siam and pull out the last nail of the Westerners in the southeast.
