Under the constant urging of the eunuchs, Kema, as the commander-in-chief of this city defense battle, quickly came to Wu Lunshi.
"Long live my king, long live, long live..."
"General Kema, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly!" Looking at Kema approaching with great force, Wu Lunshi immediately cheered up and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty feeling better?" Kema asked after getting up and looking at Wu Lunshi for a moment.
"It's okay. The imperial doctor has come to diagnose it. It's just a minor problem. It's been much better after taking acupuncture and medicine. Is the current city defense work going smoothly?" Wu Lunshi answered naturally.
"Back to the king, everything went well. The reinforcement of the city defense has been completed, and all kinds of defensive equipment and materials have been prepared. The defense force in the city is sufficient, with a main force of more than 50,000 people, plus the common people recruited from the army. There are more than 120,000 people. In addition, I have also deployed 3,000 troops outside the city to contain the enemy troops and wait for opportunities." Ke Ma answered confidently with a smile on his face.
"Our big city is now impregnable. No matter how powerful the enemy forces outside are, we will have no problem resisting them for a year and a half."
"Okay, Kema, I'll feel relieved if I leave this city defense to you." Wu Lunshi was very happy when he heard that, and he praised Kema again.
At this time, the eunuch beside him came over and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Maro Guo is already outside."
"Let him come in!" Wu Lunshi, who had been smiling comfortably just now, suddenly turned cold.
After Maro Guo was defeated and returned to the city, Wu Lunshi ordered to remove him from all positions. Unless a powerful enemy is present, it is not advisable to act rashly. Wu Lunshi must punish him for being invincible. But even if Maroguo escaped the death penalty, he is now under house arrest and cannot go out.
"The sinner, Ma Luoguo, kowtows to my king, long live, long live, long live..." After entering the house, Ma Luoguo came to the front of Wulunshi and kowtowed.
"Get up!" Although Wu Lunshi looked at Maloguo with a bad expression, he still asked him to stand up. After all, his loyalty to him was unquestionable.
"The sinner thanked the king." Ma Luoguo got up with tears in his eyes.
Just when everyone was wondering why Wu Lunshi called Maroguo over, they only heard Wu Lunshi say: "I'm not calling you here today to forgive your sins, but you are the only one among us who has actually fought with the enemy. People, I want to hear your views on this city defense battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Maroguo replied with great joy in his heart.
"I wonder what the situation is outside the city now?"
"Kema, tell Maroguo!" Wu Lunshi looked at Kema and ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The enemy troops besieging us outside the city now claim to have one million people. But based on my experience, the maximum number of troops they can use is only one hundred thousand. And these one hundred thousand people are divided into several groups. The country consists of the Yi Dynasty army as the core, the Annan army as the main force, the accompanying Cambodian army and the Champa army, as well as the rebel Champasak and Vientiane... And, and there is..." Ke Ma looked at Wu Lun The scholar was about to speak but stopped.
"Say it, he can do such a thing, I don't think I have this son anymore." Wu Lunshi naturally understood what Kema was going to say, and said nonchalantly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kema said without any scruples: "There are also the troops led by Wen Lin."
"According to our reliable intelligence, among the enemy forces outside the city, the core Yichao army only has about 10,000 troops, followed by Annan's army. As the main force, they have about 50,000 people. As for the others , are no longer afraid.”
"So as long as we can block the attacks of the Yi Dynasty's army and the Annan army, the city will be safe in three months at most."
Listening to Kema's analysis, Maroguo couldn't help but nodded.
The stronger the enemy troops outside the city, the greater their consumption of food and logistics. Ayutthaya is the center of Siam, far away from enemy territory, so it is not an easy task for them to provide long-distance logistics.
Especially since Siam has now carried out Qingjianbiye, it is difficult for the enemy to obtain food around the city. Therefore, huge logistics consumption is Siam's most powerful weapon against the enemy.
However, this does not mean that the city can now rest easy.
One of the variables is that he is the third prince Wenlin.
If the surrender soldiers following Wen Lin can obtain food from the cities around the city with Wen Lin's warrant, then the enemy troops who receive local food supply will be able to extend their siege time.
The second is that they don't know how many cannons the Yi Dynasty has, or what other powerful weapons are hidden that will allow them to break through the walls of the big city in one go.
Of course, Maroguo wasn't too worried about the second variable. He was more concerned about the enemy's food and fodder than this. As long as the enemy's food and fodder are insufficient, the crisis in the city and even Siam will be resolved.
Maroguo, who was constantly thinking about how to cut off the enemy's logistics, suddenly seemed to remember something again, and asked Kema: "General Kema, is the military post (Bangkok) secure?"
At this time, Maroguo remembered a piece of information he had received before, which was that the Yi Dynasty had reached an agreement with the Champa people. The Yi Dynasty would help the Champa people regain their country, and the Champa people would help the Yi Dynasty obtain the entire Strait of Malacca.
"The military post once sent out a distress signal, saying that a large number of Yi Dynasty fleets appeared on the seaside. However, the city was already facing a formidable enemy at that time, and I did not dare to send troops to support them. Now that the city is under siege, I cannot contain it. As for the latest news about them, I really don’t know what their current situation is." Kema replied in retrospect.
"This is something serious." Maroguo said worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Wu Lunshi couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, Juntie is very close to my big city, and Juntie has a port. I once heard from the prisoners who captured the city that in addition to the strong army of the Yi Dynasty, their navy is also very strong. I heard that Annan's The navy is not worth mentioning in front of them." Maroguo analyzed what he was thinking one by one.
"The reason why Nguyen Hue of Annam was defeated so quickly by the Yi Dynasty's army was because the navy of the Yi Dynasty blocked the sea route to Annam very early, so Nguyen Hue had to divide a large number of troops to defend the coastline to prevent the Yi Dynasty's army from entering by boat. Carry out killing and destruction in the hinterland of Xishan Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, think about it. If the Yi Dynasty has already broken through Juntie, and then ships grain from Cambodia to Juntie, and then transports grain and grass from Juntie to Dacheng, then our Dacheng will be in danger... The danger is already …”
"What should we do? Can we only agree to Yi Chao's conditions?" Wu Lunshi couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart.
