Chapter 1038 Siam Surrenders
"Yes, general." Povi encouraged the general to cheer up.
He returned to the army and spread Povi's words.
Suddenly, the soldiers under Powe's command attacked the city more and more fiercely. At one point, some soldiers even climbed up the city wall and tore a hole in it.
While the two sides were still attacking and defending, the Qinglong Army quickly surrounded Powei's army.
Seeing that Powei's army was indifferent and seemed to be dismissive of them, Guo Yong, Mu An and others felt a little confused, thinking that Powei had an ambush nearby.
For this reason, they specially sent out scouts to search, but found nothing.
"I thought he was a strategist, but he turned out to be a heartless person." Guo Yong spat and told the artilleryman, "Hit me hard."
The order was passed, and the howitzers opened fire one after another. The shells fell into Povey's army in a perfect curve.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The artillery shells exploded, and huge flames shot up into the sky at the Powe army. The soldiers at the center of the explosion were directly blown away by the shock wave. Bloody and mutilated limbs were scattered on the ground. Shrapnel flew and scratched many soldiers.
The sudden shelling scared the Povey soldiers who were attacking the city so much that they urinated and crawled on the ground.
The most powerful artillery they had ever seen was the smoothbore cannon sold to them by the Western Turks, and the shells were also solid. They had never experienced the use of yellow gunpowder in Dasong's explosive shells.
So when they were exploded by such a powerful shell, they were naturally frightened out of their wits.
Some Povey soldiers even ran away with their wet pants and feces in their hands.
Povey was also stunned. When the first shell exploded, his legs were a little weak and he could hardly stand.
As the shells exploded in the army, causing hundreds of casualties, he felt a chill in his heart. He regretted that he did not evacuate, but stayed and continued to attack the city.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Four Nations were defeated so quickly and why his troops on the border were so vulnerable.
However, it was too late.
After the first round of shelling, the second and third rounds of shelling followed, and shells rained down.
In a short period of time, the number of casualties among soldiers increased to thousands.
At this time, the soldiers under his command no longer cared about attacking the city, but hid on the battlefield, fearing that they would be the next to be killed.
"It's the Dasong army that's coming!"
Compared with the panic of Powe's army, at the top of the Siam Imperial City, the generals under Sompa were excited and showed cheerful smiles.
Standing on the city wall, they could see the dark green guards in the distance and the large song army moving forward.
In the telescope, their figures were exactly the same as the Great Song envoys who came last time.
At the same time, they immediately sent the news to the palace.
At this moment, Songpa and the ministers who supported him were gathering in the main hall with frowning faces.
Because Povey's army received the support of the Western Turks, it was much stronger than his army in terms of muskets and artillery.
This is why it is so difficult for them to defend the city.
Seeing that the palace might be breached today, he and the ministers were very anxious.
Some ministers even proposed to make peace with Bo Wei, asking him to change his attitude towards Da Song and follow the Western Turks wholeheartedly.
But he knew that no matter what he did now, the final outcome would be the same.
Povey, an ambitious man, would not let himself end well.
As he said, this was a gamble, and since he was going to lose, he was willing to admit defeat.
Therefore, when he suddenly received the news of the arrival of Dasong's army, you can see how excited he was.
"Hahaha... Powe, I won in the end." Songpa looked at the soldier who delivered the message, "Take me to the city immediately. I want to personally wave the flag for the Dasong army."
The ministers also stood up, all of them looking happy. The minister who had just offered to surrender to Povey looked ashamed.
When Sompa arrived at the south gate, the bombardment had ceased.
Because the soldiers of the Qinglong Army have arrived near the city gate.
They deployed their machine guns and were firing wildly at the disintegrating Povey army, leaving corpses all over the ground.
When the attack was launched at the south gate, the other four walls also launched an offensive.
During the siege of the city on May 6th, the 60,000-strong Powe army lost more than 20,000 people, leaving only 40,000 people.
At present, nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured in shelling from all sides.
The remaining 30,000 people were no match for the Qinglong Army soldiers.
The battle lasted from noon to evening, and the Povey army was completely annihilated.
Powei broke out to the west, but was thwarted by Shangyi's generals and captured the men.
"General, the Powei rebels have been completely wiped out. This person is Powei. General, please come down." The fighting stopped, and Shangyi escorted Powei to Qinshan.
While they were fighting, Qin Shan arrived nearby.
But he only watched the battle and did not interfere with the three people's command.
For him, this small battle is enough for three people, and it can also train them.
"Since he is a traitor to Siam, let him be dealt with by the Emperor of Siam." Qin Shan looked towards the south gate.
A figure who looked like an emperor was coming out of the south gate and walking towards him.
Apparently, he was Sompha, the Emperor of Siam.
"Thank you for your help, allowing Siam to survive this crisis." When he came to Qinshan, Songpa clasped his hands in thanks.
Qin Shan gave a slight salute, "This is what we should do. Our Dasong will not let go of an enemy, nor will we let down any friend who is willing to make good friends with Dasong."
When Songpa heard this, his heart warmed up, and he became even more grateful for his decision.
He continued, "We in Siam are willing to be protected by Dasung like the other four countries, and from now on we will be free from the harassment of the Westerners."
At the top of the city, he witnessed the entire battle.
The Powe army, which had left his army helpless, was as weak as a newborn puppy in front of Dasong's army.
With such a powerful military force, it would be easy for Siam to destroy them.
If he can't see the situation clearly now, then he is really like Bo Wei and deserves to be stupid.
"You made a wise choice." Qin Shan smiled, "I have sent people to inform His Highness King Yan that in three to five days, His Highness King Yan will arrive here and he will accept your credentials."
Hearing this, Songpa nodded again.
Then, he looked at Bo Wei who was trembling all over and showed a sneer.
He didn't want to say anything unnecessary to Povey, but said to the guards around him, "Push this traitor out and kill him."
The guard received the order and dragged Povi to the south gate. He raised the knife and dropped it, and a man's head rolled to the ground.
That night, the Blue Dragon Army entered the Siam Imperial City and rested in the city.
Three days later, Guan Tong arrived with the Suzaku Army.
Seeing that there was nothing going on in the war without the Suzaku Army, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Only some soldiers were sent to help Sompa clear out the remaining forces of Povi.
Two days later, Zhao Xu arrived at the Siam Imperial City and accepted Sompa's credentials at the Siam Palace.
From now on, Songpa's title was changed to King of Siam.
Like the Four Kingdoms, Siam will establish a suzerain-vassal relationship with Daisong.
