Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 554 Landing Battle
The fire in the bay burned for two days before it gradually extinguished, but the Song army secretly landed in another small bay about [-] miles away from the city of Moluoyu on the night after attacking the bay.

Under the cover of night, the [-] troops quickly marched eastward, defeating the [-] soldiers guarding the harbor in one fell swoop.

Five thousand Sanfoqi soldiers never dreamed that the Song army would attack from the west, and they would collapse at the first touch. After leaving more than 2000 corpses, they fled in panic to the capital several miles away.

The Song army was also unwilling to fight in tropical areas, which meant that they had to dispose of the corpses immediately to prevent epidemics.

They immediately burned the body and buried it deeply.

Maroyu City is about seven or eight miles away from the seaport. Between the seaport and the capital is farmland, which mainly grows rice. There are millions of people in the country of Sanfoqi, and picking alone cannot support so many people. Rice from the north It has been planted here for thousands of years.

The rice has just been harvested, and the second season of planting has not yet been watered. The ground is relatively dry, and it is barely possible to carry out large-scale ground warfare. The Song army lined up at dawn, waiting patiently for the army of the Three Buddhas to challenge.

Isn't the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom known as an army of 20?The Song army has only 2 people, and one out of ten fights. Do they have the courage?

Of course, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom does not have 20 troops, but they have 2 troops, of which 1 are sailors, and the other [-] are stationed on Java Island. Nearly half of the sailors have drowned, and only [-] troops are left in the capital.

But even an army of 2 is far larger than the [-] Song Army.

On the top of the city, King Zhanbei looked at the Song Army seven miles away. He found that the number of Song Army was not as large as he thought, and he was a little relieved.

But when he thought of Fan Ning's harsh request, he was filled with resentment. Compensation of 100 million taels of gold, handing over all the pirates, ceding the peninsula, giving up the navy, and protoning Tokyo, he couldn't do any of them.

Maybe bargaining, the first one he can pay 50 taels of gold, but certainly not 100 million taels of gold.

It may be okay to let a son go to the capital, but he should go to the Song Dynasty to study.

As for the other three, he couldn't do it.

"General, are we going to attack?" He summoned the general Dan Jialuo and asked.

Dan Jialuo bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, it is necessary to go to war, otherwise, even if the Song army blocked our harbor, we would not be able to bear it. We must defeat them in one battle while they are on land, but we need to wait for the opportunity."

"What time does the general think is most suitable?"

Dan Jialuo looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Soon the sun will come out, and it will be hot. They won't adapt to the heat here. After noon, when they are too hot and have no strength, we will attack them again and we will definitely defeat them." .”

Zhanbei nodded, he was still a veteran and knew how to make full use of the characteristics of the climate to torture these soldiers from cold places.

He immediately agreed: "Let the general command and decide with full authority!"

The daytime in the tropics is really tormenting, especially in the sun. Soon, the soldiers of the Song Army became unbearably hot, sweating like water, and the soldiers began to faint from heatstroke and dehydrated. Although some soldiers transported a large amount of light salt water and coconuts, But still to no avail, General Zhong Hui had to order the soldiers to take off their armor temporarily.

At this time, Fan Ning ordered a large number of banana leaves to be sent, and used the banana leaves as an umbrella to block the hot sun, and finally managed to persevere.

By noon, [-] soldiers of the Song Army were dying from the heat, suffering so much that they had no strength.

Dan Jialuo on the top of the city saw that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered to open the city. He led [-] soldiers and killed them.
'Woo——' Song Jun's horn blew suddenly, and the Song Jun lying on the ground cheered up one after another, got up and put on their armor, ready to fight.

Compared with Luzon's army, Srivijaya's army is indeed much stronger, at least much better equipped. Most of their armor is imported from Persia and Dashi, mainly leather armor, and their weapons are spears and bent swords. Sword, but limited by race, Srivijaya's army is still the same as Luzon's army, generally short.

Most of them didn't wear shoes, shouting and rushing towards the [-] Song soldiers.

The Song Army was commanded by General Zuo Xiaowei and Zhong Hui, the commander of the navy. He was the deputy general promoted by Di Qing. He had fought with the Xixia Army and then moved to the Navy.

Zhong Hui didn't panic, he shouted sharply: "The Shield Spear Army is in formation, and the Crossbow Army is ready to shoot!"

Five thousand shield spear troops immediately formed a long human wall, and then six thousand crossbow troops stood behind the shield spear troops, ready to shoot crossbow arrows at an oblique angle.

But as early as before dawn, the Song army deployed the mechanism. At this time, Zhong Hui saw that the Sanfo Qi army had rushed two hundred steps away, and he immediately ordered: "Light it up!"

Immediately, some soldiers lit the pre-buried kerosene, and the four lines of fire quickly burned towards the enemy, and rushed into the enemy group in a short while, and the Srivijaya soldiers scattered in fright.

At the same time, the Sanfoqi army had also rushed into the range of the Song army's crossbow arrows. There was a sudden sound of clappers. go.

Thousands of soldiers rushing to the front were unable to dodge in time, and fell to the ground with arrows, screaming. This round of arrow rain caused thousands of casualties, but this loss is still not worth mentioning to the [-] army. Foqi soldiers continued to rush towards the Song army.

The Sanfoqi soldiers running at the front were only a hundred steps away from the Song army.

At this moment, flames suddenly lit up in the crowd, and the fire oil field [-] steps away from the Song army was finally ignited, and a wall of fire appeared one foot wide and seven feet high, but the wall of fire did not affect the Sanfoqi soldiers, as long as the running speed Quick, basically the soldiers can't be burned.

But the soldiers of the Song Army squatted down one after another and covered their ears. Suddenly, fifty iron fire mines buried under the shallow soil were detonated one after another. There were earth-shattering explosions one after another, flames flew into the air, sand flew up, and countless soldiers were blown up. Flying into the sky, thick black smoke enveloped the battlefield,

The soldiers of the Song Army had been trained, and they covered their ears and lay down on the ground, but the sand and minced meat that flew three hundred steps away still fell down.

Tens of thousands of Sanfoqi soldiers knelt on the ground screaming and screaming, scared out of their wits. After a while, the explosion finally stopped, and the battlefield became a hell on earth. There were stumps, broken arms and blown heads everywhere, and blood flowed into streams. Tens of thousands of people were killed or killed by the shock wave, and tens of thousands were even deaf. The soldiers who survived were almost frightened, turned around and fled in the direction of the capital, trampling each other, and the soldiers were defeated.

This is the first time that Song army firearms were used in Nanyang combat. Two days ago, a main ship was blown up. Today, fifty iron fire mines exploded at the same time. The huge lethality is second. It brought a terrible psychological shock, and everyone on the top of the city, including the king, ministers, merchants, and monks, knelt down. They thought that the Song army had used an artifact, a magic weapon only available in heaven.

The Song army did not pursue them, their morale was greatly boosted, and after half an hour, [-] troops approached the city, and Fan Ning also arrived in person.

A letter was shot at the top of the city, and Fan Ning ordered them to surrender immediately, unconditionally accept the five demands from the Song army, and at the same time increase the amount of gold to 200 million taels, otherwise the Song army would enter the city and leave no one behind.

The entire Sanfoqi Kingdom was terrified, the city gate was opened, and a group of officials and businessmen left the city. It was the king of the Sanfoqi Kingdom who had left the city and surrendered.

They couldn't resist the terrible firearms of the Song Army, let alone the consequences of destroying the country. They had to surrender and unconditionally accept the five demands made by the Song Army.

The Song army confiscated the weapons of the army of the Three Buddhas and Qi State, disbanded the army, confiscated the treasury and the warehouse of the richest businessman Pu Cai, and obtained a large amount of gold treasures.

Two days later, the Three Buddhas and the Song Army signed a land transfer agreement, ceding the peninsula across the strait to the Song Dynasty, and promised to abandon the navy and abolish all regulations that discriminated against Song merchants.

King Zhanbei agreed to send his youngest son to Tokyo to study.

As for war compensation, the Song Army confiscated 240 million taels of gold from the state treasury and the warehouse of the big businessman Puqi, and there were countless treasures such as pearls, gemstones, and corals. The Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom.

King Zhanbei sent the Song army away. In order to make up for the loss of the treasury, he ordered the residence of Pu Wenda, the general of the navy, to be confiscated, as well as the residences of [-] big merchants, and obtained nearly one million taels of gold, barely maintaining the foundation of the kingdom.

However, this war greatly weakened the vitality of the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom, cut off the opportunities for the Three Buddha Qi merchants to obtain huge profits, and caused its national strength to collapse. Seventy years later, the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom broke out in civil war and split into several countries. But in the end, they were wiped out one by one by Fan Wenmao, the commander of the Nanyang Capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and Nanping Mansion was established. At this time, the number of Song people in Nanyang Mansions had reached 70 million.
