The main force of the Sulu army was destroyed, and the Tang army quickly entered the city and firmly occupied the entire Hele City. www.biquge.info When he saw the king Unulula, who was in a different place from the bedroom of the palace, Cao Bianjiao immediately understood what happened in this and Lecheng.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Sulu royal family, when the country was destroyed, still had such internal fighting, it was really lamentable.

What is even more lamentable, under the condition that the Tang army has an absolute advantage, and when the Tang army promised to save the lives of the royal family personnel and keep the royal property, the rulers of these Sulu countries still can't see the situation clearly, and they have dreams of stubborn resistance and struggle, and finally they are completely finished and all of them are buried, which is also extremely lamentable.

Soon, the statistical report of the Department of Supervision and Correction also came out.

According to the inventory, there are more than 10,000 taels of gold, 180,000 taels of silver, more than 800,000 stones of grain, and a lot of various warehousing goods.

The residents of the city are more than 20,000 indigenous people, more than 1,000 Chinese, and nearly 1,000 people from other Southeast Asian countries.

Cao Bianjiao was very happy to see that the seizure was so rich, but before he gave the order to load it on the ship, he gave a cruel order.

"The barbarians disobeyed the king's orders, turned their backs on the Celestial Empire, and rebelled against the heavenly soldiers, which is a real crime that is unforgivable. The general ordered that all the indigenous men in the city, except for the Chinese, be slaughtered, and no one would be left. ”

"Order."

In the midst of a miserable cry, more than 10,000 indigenous men were dragged out of the crowd by the Tang army, and all of them were beheaded on the street, killing people's heads, and the entire streets near the center of Hele City were piled with corpses like mountains, and blood was overflowing everywhere.

The steel knife flew, the head fell to the ground, and the continuous sound of severing the neck bone made people feel sore and palpitated.

Due to the continuous slashing, the hundreds of steel knives in the hands of the executioners of the Tang Army were all curled.

At this point, the whole Hele City has become a terrible hell, and the streets in the center of the city are already rivers of blood, winding and crawling in all directions, making terrible roaring and flowing sounds, until they disappear into the sewer of the street.

Cao Bianjiao also ordered the Chinese people in the city to help clean up the corpse and bury it quickly, so as to prevent the corpse from rotting and stinking and causing a plague.

Next, the Tang army divided into several groups and attacked several remnant towns on the island.

These cities became more and more shabby, and the defenders were even more scarce, and they were overcome by the Tang army.

The various units of the Tang Army, quickly carried out Cao Bianjiao's orders in these cities, and all towns slaughtered men and women, killing people to the core.

After destroying the Sulu country and capturing the entire South Tagalu Island, Cao Bianjiao, the general of the Tang Army, still had a feeling of unfinished business.

After loading all the wounded soldiers and the goods captured from Sulu back to Manila, Cao Bianjiao left the main force of the expedition to Sulu.

At the same time, he asked the returning fleet to bring back a letter to Li Xiao.

In the letter, Cao Bianjiao mentioned to Li Xiao that now that the state of Sulu had been completely captured by himself, and the losses of the Tang army were very small, he planned to lead the Tang army to continue the attack south and destroy the Maguindanu on the island of Mindanao.

Because South Tagalu is very close to Mindanao, and it can sail directly to Zamboanga, the landing port of Mindanao, from the port outside Horaku, he decided to leave all the main forces of the Tang army's expedition in Horaku for the time being, so as to make a direct attack on Mindanao next time, so as to reduce the physical wear and tear of the Tang army on the journey.

Five days later, the returning fleet returned to Manila and, after returning a large amount of captured treasure, reported to him the destruction of the Sulu kingdom and the slaughter of all men.

Li Xiao, who heard the news, was very emotional.

When it is interrupted, when it is not retreated, let this Sulu royal family be so completely extinct.

It's just that after hearing the news that Cao Bianjiao had finished all the dirty work of slaughtering men, Li Xiao was still very happy.

There is a reason why he is so cruel to the country of Sulu.

Unlike the inhabitants of Luzon and the central islands of the Philippines who believe in primitive religions or Catholicism, the whole people of Sulu believe in a certain religion, and this kind of sect is bloody and violent, closed and self-contained, and basically has no possibility of indoctrination.

Since it cannot be assimilated, it is most appropriate to eradicate them all as soon as possible rather than keep these time bombs.

After all, while slaughtering these male natives, their various religious temples were also washed away by the Tang army and destroyed into ruins.

What you can do in your own hands, don't push it to future generations, this is Li Xiao's consistent view.

Subsequently, Joseph, the leader of the sailors, also handed over Cao Bianjiao's letter to Li Xiao.

Seeing this letter, Li Xiao fell into deep thought.

He knew that Cao Bianjiao's purpose in writing this letter was definitely to make another meritorious contribution with minimal loss, and he could fully trust him.

It's just that this Maguindanu country is the most wild country so far, his country is located on Mindanao, the southernmost island of the Philippines, this island is still basically a wild state, and the capital of this Maguindanu country, Sultan Kudara, is located in the center of Mindanao, surrounded by rainforests and valleys, no matter which direction the Tang army attacks, it is not an easy task.

According to historical records, before the Tang army was preparing to attack the Maguindanu country, the Dutch and the Spaniards also tried to attack the Maguindanu country, and as a result, these Western invading troops equipped with muskets and cannons were led by the king of Maguindannu, Sultan Ampathur V, to attack and harass the invaders in various valleys, causing the Dutch and the Spaniards to suffer heavy losses, and finally had to withdraw from the island in embarrassment.

Li Xiao naturally did not want his army to suffer the same fate as the Dutch or the Spaniards.

Therefore, he wrote a letter to Cao Bianjiao, telling him that his request to lead an army to attack the kingdom of Maguindanu had been approved, but he must be careful, not to despise the enemy, and to advance steadily, and to attack Sultan Kudara in Maguindannu's royal city with a steady and steady momentum.

After another five days, Li Xiao sent new officials, 30,000 people, and a large number of auxiliary troops to make this southern Tagalu island an inherent territory of China with the Chinese as the body.

After receiving Li Xiao's letter, Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed to see that Li Xiao had agreed to his request for attack, and he didn't have time to read Li Xiao's letter more closely, so he immediately ordered his troops and horses, boarded the naval fleet, and slaughtered Zamboanga at the southwest tip of Mindanao.

Three days later, the sailors who met Cao Bianjiao's troops and horses successfully reached Zamboanga.

Cao Bianjiao originally thought that this Zamboanga might be a prosperous town, but when he arrived there, he found that it was just a very simple fishing village.

Since there were almost no Maguindanu soldiers stationed there, and the residents of the village had already fled completely, Cao Bianjiao's troops successfully captured this small fishing village and settled in Mindanao.

Everything went well during the day, and before you knew it, night fell.

Since the whole army was almost defenseless, Cao Bianjiao, the general of the unified army, arranged more than a dozen sentry posts to guard in the distance.

It seems that everything is fine, everything is fine.

In the middle of the night, in the coconut groves deep on the coast, a group of people with short and black faces and strange paints appeared.

These people are the sneak attackers of Maguindannu.

They knew that launching an attack at this time when the Tang army was most tired was the most effective method of attack.

These Maguindanu sneak attackers, each armed with bows and arrows and pikes, bent over, and tiptoed towards the Tang army outpost by the faint moonlight that resembled the sea mist.

"Whoosh ......"

There was a dense sound of bows and arrows, and the two Tang soldiers who were in a half-napping state on the watchtower were accurately shot in the throat by these sneak attackers, and fell silently from the watchtower.

Because these bows and arrows were coated with poison, in fact, as long as they shot into the exposed parts of the Tang army's body, the Tang army would definitely die.

The sneak attackers immediately jumped forward, quickly stripped the two Tang soldiers of all their armor and clothing, and then cut off their heads with a single sword.

Soon, the second watchtower was also captured by these sneak attackers, and two more Don soldiers turned into headless corpses.

When these Maguindanu people sneak into the third watchtower, an accident finally happens.

After they shot one Don soldier, another Tang soldier was shot off his helmet.

When he saw his dead companion twitching in front of him, he turned pale with fright, and immediately blew the conch horn loudly.

The terrible conch horn rang for only a few seconds before it came to an abrupt end.

This Tang soldier was also shot alive by these sneak attackers.

It's just that the sound of his conch horn was enough to convey the information that the enemy was coming, and the entire Tang army camp immediately became agitated.

Dozens of Tang Army flying harrier cavalry galloped towards the place where the trumpet was blowing.

Those Maguindanu sneak attackers, when they heard the rumbling horses' hooves in the distance, everyone showed extremely unwilling expressions on their faces, and they didn't know who it was, so they whistled in a low voice, and the group hurriedly retreated and disappeared into the coconut grove in the distance.

At this time, the Tang Army camp was already brightly lit.

When Cao Bianjiao saw that he had brought back four slick and blood-splattered headless corpses, as well as two Tang Jun corpses whose throats were full of arrows and their entire faces were blackened because of poisoning, his face was instantly extremely distorted by anger.

This has led some hateful Maguindanu people to dare to sneak attack our army, and Lao Tzu will kill all of you ugly people!

Then Cao Bianjiao ordered the whole army to retreat to the place of the sailor near the sea, and at the same time spread out a large light to illuminate the entire camp and its vicinity, and at the same time sent more vigilant soldiers and horses to prevent the Ma Jingdanu army from attacking again.

Tang Jun was in a panicked and uneasy atmosphere, and finally waited for the dawn.

Fortunately, the Maguindanu army, seeing that the Tang army was well prepared, did not dare to attack again, so the Tang army finally spent the night peacefully.

Cao Bianjiao quickly arranged breakfast for the whole army, and then issued a combat order.

"Chen Yiti, the head of the first sentry of the C battalion, will listen to the order!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"I order you to lead all the soldiers and horses of the first general sentry of the C battalion, take 300 musketeers, and 100 flying harrier cavalry, go all the way east, capture Ba Mao Village, and use Ba Mao Village as an important base for our army's next move."

"Obey orders!"

After Chen Yiti, the sentry commander with a strong body and a murderous face, loudly promised Cao Bianjiao, he immediately went down to mobilize troops and horses, and prepared to attack Bamao Village, which was about 20 miles away from here.

In the eyes of almost all Tang troops, Chen Ziti should be sure of nine out of ten in this battle, and there is no doubt that he will win.

In the Tang army, there were 5 teams of shield soldiers, 10 teams of spearmen, with a total strength of 1,530 people, plus 300 musketeers, 100 flying harriers, and nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Chen Yiti quickly gathered his troops and horses, and then went forward proudly.

After Chen Yiti led his troops eastward, the entire battle process was officially collected by Fuwen, the military superintendent, and recorded in detail in the post-war report.

January 10 of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

As a civil and statistical officer of the Department of Supervision and Maintenance, I was sent to attack the village of Ba Mao in the country of Namakingdanu together with Chen Ziti's troops.

Because yesterday the enemy harassed and shot a whole six soldiers of our army, so the whole army has not rested well, and the soldiers who were sent out to fight this time are also tired, but despite this, the soldiers are still in high spirits, singing military songs all the way, and heading east.

The whole army, led by dozens of flying harriers, walked for miles through the dense rainforest along a barely discernible path, and there was no movement, as if the Maguindanus, who had attacked us yesterday, had all disappeared.

However, when we passed a waterhole, two soldiers had an accident, and two huge crocodiles came out of the pool, and dragged the two firecrackers who were unprepared alive into the waterhole.

They screamed and were torn to pieces by the crocodiles in the pool, and the blood stained the entire pool, and dozens of thick crocodiles set off bloody waves in the pool like a meal, and almost instantly, the two firecrackers were torn and devoured.

Everyone wanted to avenge these two musketers, but the main general, Chen Ziti, considered that the capture of Ba Mao Village was more important, so he only ordered the whole army to avoid the waterhole and continue to hurry.

The rest of the trip, until the entrance to the Kabakkara Valley, was a fairly smooth journey for our troops.

There were only two spearmen, who accidentally stepped on a poisonous snake lurking on the road, were bitten on the ankle by the poisonous snake, and died of convulsions after the rescue failed.

And when entering the valley of Kabakara, a sudden heavy rain suddenly fell.

The valley of Kabakara, which was already overgrown with weeds and extremely difficult to walk, suddenly became a swamp that could not be crossed at all.

And just then, we heard a beast-like scream in the rainforest on both sides of the trail, which was frightening in the sound of the heavy rain.

Then, from the depths of the rainforest on the left and right, as if by magic, a large number of Maguindanu soldiers armed with pikes and spears appeared, they were short, their bodies were black, they could not distinguish whether they were men or women, they were exposed on their skin, painted with strange patterns in various colors, and their heads were wearing the bones of wild beasts or men, and they shouted at us in unison in the overwhelming rain.
