There is no suspense at all in such a battle.

One of the two Chola warships simply played the white flag, but the other was unfortunate that the white flag was shattered by shells on the side before it was played, and the breach was still under the waterline. After the blockade failed, the sailors on the ship jumped into the sea with wooden planks, wooden boxes, barrels and other floating objects.

Naturally, these people could only become prisoners, and the Qi army put down the dinghy and carried them up one by one like fishing, without any nonsense, and all of them were strictly guarded.

These people will be the free labor of Lu Qijun from now on. Every extra one you catch is a fortune. You must know that the ultimate goal of the Qi army is never to sweep around the South Tianzhu Continent, and then they will go home, they are going to be nailed to Gidenburham.

Compared to the task of this fleet, the battle in front of them was only a small episode, and the ultimate goal of the Qi army was to establish a strong support point at Gidenboram, which would later become one of the bridgeheads for their landing on South Tianzhu. Ceylon's role will slowly change to its home base.

Of course, for Emperor Lu's entire Tianzhu strategy, Ceylon can be regarded as a base camp, it is just a rocker.

It's just that at this time, the Tianzhu people would never have imagined Lu Qi's ambition.

The city of Gidenburam is still more than 20 miles from the mouth of the Cauwelly River, and it has the same problem as Shanghai and Hong Kong, the coastline at the mouth of the sea has not yet stabilized, and the sea water pours into the shore from time to time, and there are continuous swampy puddles on both sides of the estuary.

The Tianzhu people could not defend the entrance to the sea at all, and the Qi army naturally could not land here. The fleet traveled upriver along the river, and it was not until they had traveled more than ten miles that they saw patches of greenery and a camp of the Chola army.

The commander of the flotilla waved his hand. Two 5,000-stone fortune boats rushed straight towards the shore, and ran aground when they were still more than 100 meters away from the shore, and the two fortune boats lowered their sails, and then swaggered down a large number of small boats on board. The dinghy, laden with soldiers, rowed ashore.

This time, it was not the allied forces of the South Seas that acted as the vanguard, but the marines of the Western Fleet, who only took two quarters of an hour to reach the shore under the leadership of Yingzheng.

The infantry cavalry of the Chola army was always hovering a mile away, and they did not dare to brave the bombardment of artillery to attack the marines who landed on the shore, but they were even more reluctant to retreat. I could only watch as a battalion of marines landed smoothly. And after landing with this battalion of marines, aren't the soldiers and horses even more unscrupulous?

When the Zhu Luo army could no longer bear to attack the Lu Qi army, the second battalion of the Marine Division had already gone ashore. And their attacks only proved the power of the guns even more.

"Charge, charge......" shouted a Chola officer with a ruby on his hat.

The infantry cavalry under his command roared with all their might, resisting fear, and rushed towards the landing party. In front was a group of infantry with bows and arrows and short swords, followed by hundreds of Chola cavalry.

In Chola, cavalry was far more important than the infantry army.

Thousands of infantry rushed over in black pressure. At the front were the crossbowmen, and later were the swordsmen, all howling hysterically to ease the fear in their hearts.

But when these efforts came to them one by one, the tragic scenes immediately made all their efforts come to naught.

In the whistling sound, a five-pound solid bullet hit the chest of a Chola infantry officer, and in a crackling sound of fractures, the blood mist shot out like an explosion, and the iron ball smashed the officer, penetrating the body, and then sweeping off the arms, legs and feet of several people. Heart-rending cries rang out, and the wounded soldiers lay on the ground rolling and howling. The other sergeants beside him were all faceless.

The sound of cannons was like thunder, and dozens of cannonballs of all sizes came from their heads and faces.

In the array, the howls of crying fathers and mothers were endless. The blood and flesh of the Chola soldiers hit by iron balls flew everywhere.

The Chola infantry in the charge was densely lined up, because they were in the charge, and the unconscious people were crowded together, and in this dense military formation, an iron ball rushed into the formation, that is, a flesh alley was rolled away.

"Ahh......h

After two rounds of shelling, the momentum of the Chola army's charge had stopped.

There was blood on the stumps everywhere, and I don't know how many Chola soldiers who had been injured and disabled by shells rolled to the ground and wept. was beaten so blindly, and the scene was so tragic that the Zhu Luo army immediately showed signs of collapse.

The front-runners, in particular, screamed and spun around like headless flies, and some cried and fled to the rear.

The power of cannons and muskets is not something that the flesh and blood of the Tianzhu people can resist. The bravery of the Tamils was only accompanied by an even more painful defeat.

After a large number of Nanyang coalition troops landed on the shore, the remaining Chola army could not even care about the camp and fled westward.

The fight is very easy. The camp of the Zhu Luo army was not damaged at all, and it was basically preserved intact, and a large amount of forage, grain and other materials stored in it were all returned to the Lu Qi army.

On that day, the army and navy of Lu Qi did not continue to march towards the city of Gidenboram, and the Qi army, which was camped on the spot, roughly ascertained the strength of the enemy through the interrogation of prisoners of war. The number of people is much more than them, and there are even two hundred elephant soldiers, but this strength is not taken into account by the Qi army who came at all.

Maybe with a real fight with a real knife and a real gun, the Nanyang Coalition Army can easily beat A Sange, but there is a lot of risk in this matter, after all, Zhu Luo is a big country with a population of more than 10 million, how could Emperor Lu not think about it?

The large-scale use of guns and artillery to maximize the strength of the two armies and compress the entire risk is the greatest guarantee of Lu Qian's "Tianzhu Conquest Plan".

Whether it is South Tianzhu or North Tianzhu, it is too far away from China. Although Lu Qian can bear failure, he doesn't want to see failure, and he doesn't like the bitter taste of failure.

All he needed was colonization of this land, not a complete transformation of it into Han land.

Because the former can achieve the goal very easily, the latter will be 100,000 points difficult.

In the city of Gidenboram, the nobles of the Chola Kingdom naturally received the news of defeat, but to be honest, they have not come up with a way to deal with firearms until now.

Elephants only show great destructive power when they are confronted with flesh and blood. And in the face of shells and bullets, it is difficult to say how much of a difference a hundred war elephants can make.

When the Chinese conquered Bagan, the Queen's Kingdom and other places, the performance of war elephants in the face of firearms can definitely be described as clumsy and incompetent.

The Chola nobles quarreled endlessly in the city, and some advocated taking the initiative to launch a sea offensive; Some people think that defending the city is the right thing to do, the city will bring them a powerful help and protection, and they can also put the cavalry outside the city to form a certain threat to the army.

Just when they were arguing endlessly and couldn't make a decision, Lu Qi's army was already approaching Gidenburham. And relying on the cannon, he easily blasted open the door of Gidenburham.

In a short period of time, five port cities fell, and the Chinese warships had even penetrated hundreds of miles into the heart of the Chola along the Cauverry River, and they were about to enter the capital of the Chola kingdom, Thanjavul.

The tens of thousands of Chola troops he deployed in Gidenboram, in Mayulem, and in Gonbergonam seemed to have vanished in an instant.

And the offensive of the Qi army is not only going smoothly on this side of Gidenburham's offensive, but also on the other four roads. In the face of artillery and muskets, the army of Chola was as overwhelmed as their naval army.

This is a completely different mode of warfare. And it has not gone through hundreds of years of evolution and evolution, and the guns that can already be called "mature" instantly crossed the barrier of time and space and landed in front of them, not to mention that Ah Sange has never been, even the Khitans and the Japanese, in front of the Qi army equipped with a large number of firearms, they are also vulnerable.

Na Yelu Dashi is not a coward, looking at his achievements in history, you can know that this is a man with a firm mind as iron. If you are really desperate enough to see a glimmer of light, why bother to surrender to Lu Qi, and even fight for Emperor Lu in the years that followed, before and after the saddle horse?

The result of the collision between two completely unequal armies, the collision of cold weapons and relatively mature hot weapons, although primitive, is self-evident. It is no wonder that historians hundreds of years later will sigh that China's conquest of Tianzhu is the easiest of the countless 'conquests' recorded in the world history books.

Tianzhu society is a 'deformed child', and its own development is congenitally unsound. Some of the "defects" that existed in advance due to history were infinitely magnified in this war, and passively became China's best helper in the process of conquering and ruling Tianzhu.

It's just the beginning, though!

……

Time entered June, and a good news flew over thousands of rivers and mountains and was sent directly to Emperor Lu!
