Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After Cheng Baitao received Fan Shaozeng's order, how could he dare to delay?

He immediately ordered the soldiers of the Second Division to get on his vehicle, change direction, and head towards Dangji due west.

With the help of bicycles, the Second Division can reach a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour without sacrificing physical strength.

It seems that the distance of 120 kilometers can be reached in less than ten hours.

But considering that there is still a mountain road along the way, it will take about 12 hours to reach Dangji.

In order to successfully block the team escorting Xipao, Cheng Baitao came here basically without rest.

Both soldiers and officers are gritting their teeth and persisting. Everyone knows that whether the imperial army can be stable in Taungoo in the future depends entirely on them.

It has to be said that people in Dongchuan area have a lot of perseverance, and everyone is gritting their teeth and persisting for more than ten hours.

When night fell, Cheng Baitao's second division arrived at Dangji.

When Cheng Baitao jumped off his bicycle, he felt that his legs were shaking.

But at this time, he didn't care at all.

He was relieved when he asked the residents of Dangji and found out that Xipao had not passed Dangji yet.

What he was most afraid of when he came all the way was that Xipao had already passed Dangji before they arrived.

If that's the case, then they have to continue riding in pursuit.

"It seems that God still takes good care of me." Cheng Baitao laughed at himself.

Afterwards, Cheng Baitao asked the soldiers to get off the car and rest, waiting for the arrival of Xipao.

While Cheng Baitao was waiting for Xipao, a battle also took place in Siam.

The First Division of the Yizhou Army ran into the troops of King Chulalongkorn of Siam in Pakse, Siam.

It turned out that after Chulalongkorn ran out of Bangkok, he first headed west, preparing to go to Taungoo to seek asylum from the John people.

As a result, they encountered the First Division of the Dongchuan Army on the road.

Seeing the Dongchuan Army getting ready and marching towards the border of Taungoo, Chulalongkorn knew that the next target of the Daxia people was Taungoo.

And Toungoo should be the key target of the Daxia people.

Cherishing his life, Chulalongkorn naturally would not put himself in danger.

Although he actually didn't know how many people from Daxia had come at this time, he understood one thing.

Since the people of Daxia took the initiative to initiate this war, it is certain that the people of Daxia must have made complete preparations.

So no matter how the war situation goes, Daxia will definitely have the advantage in the early stage.

Chulalongkorn did not have such big ambitions. He just wanted to ensure Siam's independence while making his own life better.

Therefore, seeing that the Toungoo Kingdom had become a key target of attack by the empire, Chulalongkorn did not want to go to the Toungoo Kingdom.

So, he ordered the troops to turn around and head towards the Khmer Kingdom.

For Chulalongkorn, since Taungyu cannot go, then he should hug the thighs of the Gauls.

By the time they spent a week arriving at the border of the Khmer Kingdom, Governor Annan was already secretly negotiating with Daxia.

After hearing the report from the Khmer garrison that Chulalongkorn wanted to enter Khmer and seek asylum, Governor Annan immediately refused.

And they asked the local garrison to absolutely not let the other side in.

Governor Annan also knew that Chulalongkorn was wanted by Daxia during this period. If he protected Chulalongkorn at this time, he would definitely be causing trouble for himself.

Do you think Daxia has too few excuses to take action, so you take the initiative to give Daxia people another excuse?

The current Governor Annan just wants to return to Paris as soon as possible instead of fighting with the Daxia people here.

If it weren't for the purpose of causing some discomfort to the Daxia people, he might even have the local garrison arrest Chulalongkorn.

Later, the governor felt that it was in the best interests of Gaul to let Chulalongkorn go and let him continue to cause trouble for the Daxia people in the Siam area. Maybe he would really do this.

After the Gauls sternly rejected Chulalongkorn's request and ordered him to leave within 24 hours, Chulalongkorn knew that the Gauls were not reliable.

At this time, there was only one way before Chulalongkorn, and that was to go to Chenla.

At this time, Chenla was the only region in the four Southeast Asian countries that had not yet broken out into flames of war.

As for the reason, the main reason is that Zhenla is really poor and does not have much oil and water. Both Gaul and the John Empire look down on him.

Therefore, Chenla was just a goods dumping place and was not occupied by the Gaul or John Empire.

This is partly because King Chenla was timid. When faced with the demands of the Gauls and Johns, he basically agreed.

However, precisely because of this, Chenla avoided the fate of being completely reduced to a colony.

Now Chulalongkorn wants to go to Chenla to hide, but he had helped Chenla a lot before. Chulalongkorn felt that Chenla would definitely accept his asylum.

So Chulalongkorn ordered his troops to turn around and head south towards Chenla.

However, this time he did not have the same luck as before and ran directly into Mona Rudao's Yizhou Army's First Division.

Since Toungoo is progressing smoothly, and Khmer and Annan are also negotiating with the empire, then among the four Southeast Asian countries, only Chenla is left under the control of the empire.

With the intention of hunting down rabbits, Fan Shaozeng ordered Mona Ludao to go directly to Chenla after handling the affairs in Bangkok and ask the king of Chenla to surrender to the empire.

Mona Rudao strictly implemented Fan Shaozeng's order and ordered the first division to set off from Bangkok and attack Chenla in the southeast.

As a result, they ran into Chulalongkorn's team near the border of Chenla.

What else is there to say? Mona Ludao was originally dissatisfied that Fan Shaozeng asked him to go to Chenla, leaving him with no battle to fight. As a result, he met Chulalongkorn, who was wanted by the empire, on the way.

What else is there to say? Just hit it!

The soldiers of the First Division of the Yizhou Army, who were ready to settle old and new grudges together, launched an attack against a Guards Division of Chulalongkorn with the help of mortars and grenade launchers.

Previously, Chulalongkorn took away two brigades of troops from Bangkok, and then collected some guerrillas along the way, barely scraping together the size of a division.

Although Chulalongkorn gave this division the title of the First Guards Division of the Kingdom of Siam, this Guards Division is completely different from the Guards Divisions of other empires.

This Guards Division generally lacked training and was poorly equipped. Half of the people did not have firearms.

As for artillery, there is none.

So from the moment Mona Ludo attacked, this battle became one-sided.

Chulalongkorn's First Division could only lie on the ground and endure the rain of shells falling on their heads. Then they fought with the Daxia people.

Mona Ludo looked at the Siamese First Guards Division who was beaten by him and was unable to fight back, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Attack, attack! Charge up and crush them!"

Mona Ludo stood on a slope, holding a telescope in one hand to view the battle situation, and waving his command knife in the other, with a somewhat crazy expression.
