Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In five days, the imperial army penetrated more than [-] kilometers into the Toungoo Kingdom and fought two battles.

This speed is nothing short of unpleasant.

At this time, the reinforcements from the John Empire and Toungoo Kingdom on the border were still blocked in Lashio by the Longxiang Army, and the reinforcements sent from Yangon were still in Naypyitaw.

Now there are only two choices before the Governor of Tianzhu, either to continue to hold on and let the Dongchuan Army continue to weave in and out, and then let the Longxiang Army destroy the coalition forces on the border, and finally lose the entire Southeast Asia and Tianzhu.

The second is to abandon the coalition soldiers in the Luang Namtha area and withdraw the soldiers from the border and Yangon to Tianzhu for defense.

In this case, although the entire Southeast Asia will still be lost, there is a high possibility of saving Tianzhu.

As for the Khmer and Annan Gallic armies, until now, the John Empire did not know that they had begun negotiations with Bactria.

What they wanted to do was to let the coalition soldiers from the Gallic Empire and Langnan Tower continue to attract the attention of the Great Xia Empire for them, so that their main force could withdraw to Tianzhu.

Between the two choices, the Governor of Tianzhu didn't need to think too much at all, he knew what to choose.

Isn't the purpose of the existence of the Taungu Kingdom to protect Tianzhu from the sword? Now that the Daxia people's knives are about to hit him, he should let the Toungu Kingdom come out to block it for him.

Of course, the John Empire is prepared to take away the royal family members of Toungoo Kingdom.

Only in this way can the John Empire continue to control the Toungu Kingdom to resist in Tianzhu. Otherwise, it is very likely that as soon as they leave, the Toungu Kingdom will directly change its flag and declare its surrender to Daxia.

Thinking of this, the Governor of Tianzhu called the Yangon headquarters and asked them to retreat to Tianzhu in an orderly manner.

The Yangon headquarters is lamenting the lack of troops on hand, and wants to contact the Taungoo royal family to issue a conscription order to forcibly recruit men of appropriate age to join the army to resist Daxia.

As a result, Major General Vertin, the commander of the John Empire in Rangoon, received an order from the governor, asking him to retreat.

Major General Vertin received the order and breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the Daxia people's offensive is very fierce now, and the entire Toungoo war zone is in panic everywhere.

There is no way. The John Empire soldiers stationed in Tianzhu and Southeast Asia only have a total of 10 soldiers. Counting the colonial troops, they only number [-] to [-].

It seems that the number of people is about the same as that of the Longxiang Army of the Great Xia Army, but the combat effectiveness of the two can be said to be worlds apart.

Now the governor asked him to shrink his troops back to Tianzhu. This was the best choice for the John Empire.

So, Vertin, who had just come out of Toungoo Palace, returned to the palace again and asked King Xipao of Toungoo to immediately order the entire royal family to move to Tianzhu.

Wilding only had 48 hours left for Xipao.

When the time comes, soldiers will escort the tin robe away.

(In original history, in 1885, the British army launched the third Anglo-Burmese War and captured the last monarch of Myanmar, Xipao, and Myanmar was destroyed. Changes were made here, and Xipao became a puppet of the John Empire)

As a puppet, Xipao had no right to refuse. After receiving Vertin's request, he could only let his family start packing simple luggage.

For 48 hours, it was obvious that he couldn't take away much.

The dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years is about to come to an end.

In the early morning of the third day, the Taungoo Palace was broken into by Vertin. He first asked the soldiers to leave with their family members in tin robes, while he himself took the tin robes and headed towards the radio station in the city.

Vertin wanted to carry out the last order of the Governor of Tianzhu. Before leaving the Toungu Kingdom, he needed Xipao to go to the radio station to make a broadcast. He wanted the people of the Toungu Kingdom to continue to resist Daxia and delay the Daxia people's advance as much as possible. speed.

After all, the Daxia people were advancing too fast. If they are not restricted, the Daxia army will catch up with them before long.

When Xi Pao came to the radio station, John had already prepared a speech, he just had to read it according to it.

At this time, Xipao was like a puppet. He could only do whatever Vertin wanted him to do, without any ideas of his own.

I have to say that this speech is still very well written.

In this speech, the Daxia Empire was described as an invader and a devil that invaded the Toungoo Kingdom. They burned, killed and looted.

The neighboring Siamese kings had fallen, and the entire city of Bangkok had been plundered by the Daxia people.

They also cruelly gathered all the people in Bangkok who had the courage to resist and burned them to death.

Therefore, Xipao called on the people of the Toungoo Kingdom to unite and resist the invasion of the Daxia Empire. Under the leadership of the ally John Empire, the Daxia people were expelled from the land of the Toungoo Kingdom.

Finally, Xipao told the people of Toungoo Kingdom that victory must belong to the John Empire and the Toungoo Kingdom.

Broadcasts are sent out in clear text to ensure that as many people as possible can hear the broadcast.

The result of this was that not only the people of Taungoo heard it, but Fan Shaozeng and others also heard it.

And through this news, Fan Shaozeng keenly judged that the John people wanted to run away.

Thinking of this, Fan Shaozeng began to calculate in his mind what kind of situation he would face if the Toungoo royal family and the John people wanted to run away.

According to the content of the broadcast just now, Fan Shaozeng felt that if he allowed the Toungoo royal family to run away, he would most likely face uninterrupted sneak attacks by the people of Toungoo.

If this is the case, your situation will be more difficult.

Facing the people of Toungoo who are both civilians and soldiers, the empire cannot resist, and it cannot do without resistance.

If you resist, it will cause casualties to ordinary people, and then these casualties will definitely be used by those who are interested to increase publicity and incite more people to resist.

But if you don't resist, your own people will die.

After much thought, Fan Shaozeng finally decided to start a war with the Johns for the tin robe.

If I can control Xipao in my own hands, then I can ask Xipao to make another broadcast to make those Taungoo people put down their weapons.

In this way, the pressure on the Dongchuan Army will be reduced a lot.

Thinking of this, Fan Shaozeng glanced at the map. It was discovered that the Second Division of the Dongchuan Army had arrived in Bago at this time, which was only more than 140 kilometers away from Yangon.

If the John people want to escape from Yangon back to Tianzhu, they can only take the Dangji, Yinggawu route.

It is more than 120 kilometers from Bago to Dangji, which is slightly closer than going to Yangon. It is more than 160 kilometers to Yinggawu.

If you move quickly and don't conflict with John's army along the way, then use the speed of the second division. It is completely possible to stop the John Empire from arriving before.

Thinking of this, Fan Shaozeng had to lament Lin Yi's foresight and equip them with a large number of bicycles. Otherwise, his Dongchuan Army might not be able to arrive before John's people.

Thinking of this, Fan Shaozeng did not waste any time. He went directly to call Cheng Baitao of the Dongchuan Army's Second Division, asking him to arrive at Dangji or Yinggawu before the John people and intercept the Toungoo royal family.

Moreover, Fan Shaozeng told Cheng Baitao that this battle was related to the empire's situation in the Toungoo Kingdom. He was not required to kill many John's troops. He was only asked to stop the Toungoo royal family, especially Xipao!
