Chapter 721: The Attack and Defense of Gandhori Harbor (Part II)

More and more natives landed, and Zhou Liang's soldiers also retreated again and again, and soon completely abandoned the dock, and the Buddha deceased also organized a large-scale army, chasing after the port guards step by step.

Dong Qing watched the guards of the port retreat all the time, and the whole person turned pale with fright, for fear that Zhou Liang would not be able to hold the port, especially now that the Buddha had occupied the port, although the place where he stopped the ship was still under control, but if it continued like this, they would probably encounter great obstacles if they wanted to retreat.

However, Zhou Liang was very calm at this time, only to see that he gave orders one after another, and the army on the front line was also orderly when retreating, and at the same time kept a distance from the natives' army, just using bows and arrows to fight back at each other.

Soon, Zhou Liang commanded his subordinates to retreat to a defensive line, which seemed to be a temporary defense line built with earth and stones, and in front of it was an open space, and after retreating to the defensive line, the army no longer retreated, but used the defense line to suppress the natives in front with bows and arrows, so that the other party could not advance an inch in the open space.

Zhou Liang saw that the army of natives in front of the defense line was gathering more and more, and the pressure on the defenders behind the defense line was also increasing, but at this time, he suddenly showed a cold smile and said, "It's time!" Ignition! ”

As Zhou Liang's order to "ignite" was conveyed, a group of soldiers behind the defense line also immediately used torches to occupy a lead on the ground, which was extended from a bamboo tube buried in the ground, and after ignition, the lead was also retracted into the bamboo tube at a rapid speed, and at the same time, the soldiers behind the defense line also received an order to erect a face shield.

"Boom~" With a loud noise, I saw that the feet of the natives who had gathered together suddenly rose up pieces of dust, and countless mines buried under their feet were finally detonated, and stumps and blood flew in the air.

There were dead bodies everywhere, blood everywhere, and even the natives who survived were all stunned at this time, and countless injured natives were howling and moaning, while many more were staring blankly with their eyes wide open and their minds blank, they were completely stupefied by this situation beyond their imagination.

In fact, I don't blame these natives, when gunpowder was first used on the Dangxiang people, the performance of the Dangxiang people was not much better than these natives, you must know that the Dangxiang people at that time were often in contact with the Han people, and the civilization was several grades higher than the Nanyang natives, and even they couldn't understand gunpowder, let alone these natives.

"Kill!" Of course, Zhou Liang would not put such a good opportunity for counterattack, and immediately gave an order, and the soldiers behind the defense line immediately pounced, and most of the natives on the battlefield were killed and injured by gunpowder, and the rest were all frightened and stupid, at this time, they did not dare to resist, and in the blink of an eye, the remaining natives were also swept away by them, only some of the natives who were far away escaped back to the ship by luck, and then fled to the sea in a small boat, never daring to land again.

The Buddha on the shore also saw the power of gunpowder, and when the remnants of the natives fled back, he reacted, but at this time, the Buddha died was completely frightened by the power of gunpowder, and even if he gave another order, no one dared to land, not to mention that the army in his hands had lost nearly half, and he no longer had an advantage in terms of troops, so even if he wanted to attack, he was not sure.

In addition, the Lord General of the Buddha was also frightened by the gunpowder, he had no idea what weapons the Song people on the shore used, which could make thousands of people lose their combat effectiveness in such a short period of time, could it be said that this was the weapon of the legendary gods?

The civilization of the Buddha Kingdom is still very low-level, they also mainly believe in some primitive religions, and the divine right occupies a great position in the kingdom, so when they see the unexplained phenomenon of gunpowder explosion, they naturally attribute it to the ability of the gods, and as mortals, they naturally cannot fight against the gods, which makes them lose the courage to attack.

Of course, the most important thing is that the loss of the Buddha is too great, and the stumps and blood on the battlefield are also reminding them that if they attack again, these may be their ends, so even if the main general wants to attack, the natives below will not obey the order, after all, they are not some elite soldiers who are forbidden by order, but a group of temporarily conscripted troops, the Buddha Death Kingdom can't afford to raise too many troops at all, and only in wartime will the army be temporarily conscripted, and it's okay to fight a dozen tailwind battles, encountering such big casualties, It's pretty good that they didn't collapse right away.

However, Zhou Liang did not intend to let go of these natives, but asked Dong Qing to prepare a boat, ready to catch up and completely kill these natives, but as soon as their ship appeared at the dock, the Buddha deceased Lord immediately ordered a retreat, after all, the casualties were so large, and the soldiers did not have the courage to attack again, if the other party chased after them, maybe his remaining people would also stay here.

With the retreat of the Buddha deceased, it also marked the failure of the Buddha Kingdom's counterattack on the port of Gandali, although Dong Qing sent a ship to pursue for a while, but the small boat of the Buddha and the deceased fled quickly, so they quickly gave up the pursuit.

Gantuoli Harbor was defended, which made Dong Qing almost jump up with joy, because he knew that after the failure of the Buddha's death this time, he might not be able to come again in a short time, so that he would have time to develop Gantuoli Harbor and attract more merchants to come, and at the same time, he could also recruit more people from the Great Song Dynasty to strengthen the guards here.

Of course, the most important thing is that Dong Qing can use this incident to show Li Zhang their ability, and Li Zhang will definitely give them more support at that time, and Li Zhang's support is actually the support of the Great Song Dynasty.

A few months later, the battle report of the offensive and defensive battle of Gantuoli Port was also sent to Li Zhang, seeing Dong Qing and Zhou Liang performing so well, Li Zhang couldn't help but show an approving expression, and then immediately entered the palace with the battle report and told Zhao Zhen the good news.

Now the port of Gantuoli is completely in their hands, so that the Great Song Dynasty also has a solid foothold in the South Seas, and more importantly, it is still a big port, which is of great significance to the future maritime trade of the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that it is inconvenient for the Great Song Dynasty to come forward now, and even a few days later, the Buddha Kingdom has sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to complain, but it was prevaricated by Zhao Zhen, and then Li Zhang has already implemented a plan on how to use Gantuoli Port to develop Nanyang, and the effect will be seen immediately.
