Chapter 70: Cambodia's Final Song



Lin Hai raised the telescope and never put it down.

In his sight, the Khmer people, like a tide, formed an endless flood peak, washing away the defense line of Qinghe River.

The Qinghe defense line, which seemed impregnable on ordinary days, has become shaky under the fearless attack of the Khmer people.

The barbed wire had been completely trampled into the black and red soil by the messy footsteps.

The trenches were filled with twisted corpses and body parts.

The hands of many Qinghe soldiers who fired crossbows began to tremble, and the frequency of firing dropped significantly.

Despite Qinghebo's military order, many low-ranking officers had already arbitrarily ordered several gaps to be opened.

In order to achieve this, Lin Hai saw very clearly that the old and weak civilians who served as the vanguard of the Khmer charge had been almost wiped out, and behind them was a large number of young and middle-aged people mixed with the charging team of Khmer soldiers.

These disorganized troops roared and shouted, waving weapons that were much more sophisticated than those in the previous ones, and then like a mad elephant, they crashed straight into Qinghe's defense line.

If the four gates of Taijing had the same scale of attack, then the number of civilian assault teams today would be at least over 200,000, which is already half of the population of Taijing City.

Thinking of this, Lin Hai could not help but tightly grip the telescope in his hand. After a long moment, he sighed and gave the order:

"Tell them to let the civilians go. Focus on intercepting the main garrison at the rear. As for the Khmer soldiers among the civilians, let them go as well. They're lucky."

When Wang Zuo stood up to replace the messenger to deliver the message, Lin Hai stopped him again: "We will be able to enter the city in a while. Intelligence Department, hurry up and get Yang Yizhen and Wei Shuma to me alive."

Wang Zuo understood that this was actually Lin Hai's extremely angry state.

After all, he had heard of the imperial emperor's decree to Lin Hai to eliminate the Khmer population. Lin Hai disobeyed the order in order to give the southwest and Khmer areas some breathing space. Now, no matter how you look at it, the casualties among the people today are definitely over 100,000.

Qinghe has gone through a lot of reconstruction.

Qinghe has also experienced a decline in population.

Whether it is Lin Hai, Wang Zuo, or anyone else, they all know the importance of population.

Anyone who sees this scene will feel heartbroken.

Damn it, when we were recruiting refugees, we could be happy for several days if we had a hundred or eighty people. Now you are using two hundred thousand civilians to charge into the army. You are really just relying on paper.

Wang Zuo nodded, and the matter was left to the Intelligence Department.

If he could enter the city now, Wang Zuo would even want to skin Yang Yizhen with his own hands.

As military orders were conveyed, the Qinghe army once again stabilized its position.

"Qinghe Bo has ordered that the Khmer people be allowed to leave the city."

"Qinghe Bo has ordered that the middle path be cleared, both sides be on guard, and crossbowmen be ready to close the gap at any time."

"Qinghe Bo has issued an order to raise the flag. Those who surrender will be spared death."

"Qinghe Bo has ordered that the heavy armored troops prepare to intercept the main force of the garrison in the rear."

"Qinghe Bo has ordered the light cavalry to move out and strangle the Khmer troops that broke through from both wings."

......

In short, in order to better stabilize the minds of low-ranking officers and soldiers, all military orders transmitted from the command center were prefixed with "Qinghe Bo has ordered."

It has to be said that not many people know that Lin Hai lacks tactical command ability.

Lin Hai, who created the new Qinghe, has a particularly tall image among grassroots soldiers, even to the point of being omnipotent.

So when a large number of "Qinghe Bo's orders" were passed down, the soldiers were more dazzled by the dazzling orders, and then they could only start to mechanically execute the orders under the command of the officers based on their trust in Lin Hai.

All in all not too bad.

When the main force of the garrison corps began to break out, the destroyers showed their power.

This was also the first time Wei Shuma saw the power of explosives.

To be honest, when he heard that there was something that could blow the city walls into the sky, he totally didn't believe it.

But everyone who escaped said so.

The scouts sent out also described in detail the huge pits in the walls of Jingdong and Daqima and the wreckage of the walls that had flown away from their original positions. Only then could he believe that there were such powerful weapons in the world.

As a military commander, he instinctively hated such weapons.

First, because Cambodia doesn’t have it.

Secondly, if everyone has such weapons, what is the need for generals?

All bravery and strategy pale in comparison to this divinely powerful weapon.

There is no need to plan anything. Just rush forward and throw this weapon. Who can stop you?

Yes, no one can stop it.

This is Wei Shuma’s true inner thoughts now.

He saw with his own eyes a small bag two feet square falling from the sky and landing among his most elite armored infantry.

Then there was a loud "boom".

The flying mud was ten feet high.

The smoke and dust obscured the entire squad of soldiers.

Then there were endless screams.

Wei Shuma raised the iron shield in his hand to protect his vital parts, then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the squad of soldiers.

As the commander, he must see the attack effect of this weapon with his own eyes.

He couldn't even guarantee that the weapon wouldn't explode a second time after hitting the ground, but this was his only chance to observe it up close, so he couldn't miss it.

The good news is that this weapon will only explode once upon landing.

The bad news is that their armor is no match for this weapon.
