Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 682

"All the units of the First Corps to Conquer the South, board the ship as soon as possible, and if they miss the time and cause delays in the trip, they will be dealt with by military law!"

Looking down from the air at the pier of Hoi An Port, groups of soldiers poured into the troop carrier in neat formations like ants, and horses pulled smoothbore guns, Gatling machine guns, and food on the troop carrier Up and down.

This large-scale battle is a big test for the Kyushu Army, using the most advanced weapons of the Kyushu Army, and fighting across several Nanyang countries.

The head of the First Corps of Zhengnan was Changyi, and in order to check and balance, Huang Degong, who was originally a subordinate of Changyi, became the commander of the Second Corps of Zhengnan.This time, the commanders of the three corps of the Confederate Army are at the same level, and it is rare for them to cooperate with each other to achieve the battle of destroying the country.The First Corps to Conquer the South will be the first to go to the Gulf of Siam, and the Second Corps will advance later.The reason for landing in batches is mainly due to insufficient transportation capacity.Regardless of the fact that a corps of the Kyushu Army only has about 1 combat troops, but the use of muskets, artillery, and machine guns requires a large amount of firearms and gunpowder. In this era, only a few combat troops can transport [-] troops by sea at one time. A country can do it.

"General, I wish you a successful start!" Huang Degong sent Changyi off at the pier.

"You don't need to call me so politely anymore. Now we have similar positions. Your talent is enough to command an army, but you are not familiar with the new tactics of our Kyushu Army. Now after the martial arts demonstration in Guilin and the war to conquer An Nan, The military department already trusts you very much." Changyi sighed with emotion, originally he was the first batch of generals of the Kyushu Army who came from Chu Yun, but after a group of Ming army generals surrendered, they became the second batch of generals.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of good generals, but the whole situation was collapsed by the rulers. With enough troops and firepower provided by the Kyushu Army, they would soon be able to grow up.

Now the commanders of the three major corps of the Confederate Army, Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao were all generals of the Ming Army before, accounting for the second of the three.

"The general has the kindness to guide and support, and I will never forget it." Huang Degong said.

"See you in Siam. After pushing Siam and then Toungoo, we will be included in the history books." After Changyi finished speaking, he took a few soldiers on board the troop carrier.

This time the Kyushu Army used more than [-] troop carriers, and used a large number of merchant ships as well as ships obtained from the Zheng family and Ruan family navy divisions. The Nanyang Fleet served as a guard in front of the troop carriers.This huge fleet sailed south along the coastline of the Indochina Peninsula, then bypassed Priango Port, and entered the Gulf of Siam.

In Siam, the wide Chao Phraya River flows into the Gulf of Siam in Samut Prakan.Most of Samut Prakan is a low-lying area, and the local people mainly rely on fishing for their livelihood.On both sides of the Chao Phraya River in Samut Prakan Province, there are several blockhouses with coastal defense cannons on them, and Siamese soldiers patrolling the blockhouses.These bunkers were built by the previous King of Siam to resist the invasion of Westerners along the Chao Phraya River. In fact, Westerners have been trying to infiltrate into the Nanyang countries over the years, and some Nanyang countries also have mercenaries from Francais.

The Chao Phraya River is too important to Siam. As long as the Chao Phraya River is opened, the fleet of Westerners can drive straight along the Chao Phraya River, and the capital of Siam is on the banks of the Chao Phraya River!

This is why the Nanyang Fleet chose to attack Samut Prakan, and traveled a hundred miles along the Mekong River to attack Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam.

"Look, what is that!"

The Siamese soldiers who were patrolling the bunker screamed because they didn't know who they were, and they all climbed to the top of the bunker to look at the sea level.

On the sea level, first sails appeared, and then a huge hull emerged from the sea!Huge sailing battleships and frigates appeared one by one, and behind these sailing battleships, there were two hundred large and small troop carriers and supply ships!There are so many ships, covering the sky and covering the sky, like black clouds suddenly appearing on the sea, the blackness makes people feel scalp numb, more than all the western ships these Siamese soldiers have seen combined!
"Enemy, is it an enemy?!"

The late Siamese officer hurriedly climbed up the wall. When he saw the huge fleet that had appeared at the mouth of the sea, his face turned pale and his mind went blank.This fleet has covered the sea as far as he can see!

"General...General, they...hundreds of ships, at least tens of thousands of people came..." A Siamese soldier stammered to his officer.

"Who are they and why are they here!" the Siamese officer shouted hysterically.

He has been stationed in the bunker for several years without any battles. Just now when he woke up, a powerful fleet suddenly came, it was like hell.

"I don't know, General, but they must have come with bad intentions. Shall we resist?" Another Siamese soldier who was slightly calmer asked for instructions, his tone full of unconfidence.

"Resistance? We have a few copper cannons here, but are they useful?" The Siamese officer's mind was still buzzing. After all, the impact brought by the Nanyang Fleet was too great for him to wake up from the shock.

"Could it be that they are ships of the Westerners? It looks like the hull of the Westerners. It seems that the Westerners are going to attack us. Damn it, didn't we just send envoys to attend their Batavia meeting? Why did they betray us all of a sudden!" Another Siamese lieutenant who had come up a step earlier hammered the city wall angrily.

Seeing that the sailing battleships of the Nanyang Fleet were similar to those of the Westerners, he thought they were Westerners, so he scolded the Dutchmen.

Not only the Siamese defenders on this bunker, but also the Siamese defenders on the other side of the bunker were in a panic. They also used semaphore to ask the Siamese defenders here how to deal with the sudden terrorist fleet and whether they should fight or surrender.

"I don't know what to do!" The Siamese officer was completely desperate when he saw the friendly army on the opposite side asking himself for instructions.

Deng Qianlong, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, stood on the bow of the sailing battleship Daqin, using binoculars to observe the bunkers of the Siamese Army at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.Not long ago, spies from the Military Intelligence Department disguised themselves as businessmen and went deep into the Chao Phraya River, and basically figured out the defense situation along the river, so this time the Nanyang Fleet operated with sufficient intelligence.

"Commander, should we send someone to persuade them to surrender?" the deputy asked Deng Qianlong for instructions.

"There is no need to persuade them to surrender. Destroy them with artillery first. The defenders inside will naturally surrender if they are sensible. It is impossible to completely surrender these barbarians without showing our force." Deng Qianlong said.
