Chapter 462: Peninsula Crimson Moon Three
Just a few days after the remnants of the Gyasgar Kingdom elected a new king, and the walled city destroyed by the Tang army had not yet been repaired, Yang Shihong, who had returned to the north, led 3,000 elite soldiers of Honghuwei to pounce again.
Only a few days after the restoration of the country, the state of Žasjia was once again destroyed under the blow of the Tang army, beheading more than 3,000 people, capturing more than 4,000 people, and the new king was directly cut off and hung on the war horse of the Tang army.
"Governor, these barbarians have surrendered and rebelled, and our army is exhausted, why don't you kill them all and solve the problem of barbarians once and for all?"
Some generals immediately made suggestions to Yang Shihong, and other generals also agreed, encouraging Yang Shihong to order the slaughter of the natives.
"Governor, our army is limited in strength and cannot garrison and occupy the six countries that have been destroyed, which will lead to the withdrawal of our army, and the people of the destroyed countries will once again establish their countries as enemies with us. As Captain Lin said, if we do not kill all the people of the indigenous kingdom, our army will fall into a state of exhaustion, constantly losing soldiers, and it will be difficult to effectively occupy the vast land on the peninsula. ”
"The benefits of killing the natives are obvious, even if we don't have enough troops to occupy the Duzhou Governor's Mansion and the people to move to reclaim, we don't have to worry about the land not being owned by my Datang."
Yang Shihong was born in Hongnong Yang, the grandson of Yang Gongren, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, the great-grandson of Yang Xiong, the king of the Sui Dynasty, and the brother of Yang Shiyan, the commander of the right guard of Xiuyi around Li Yu.
Born in a family and learning Confucian classics since childhood, although he was not a powerless rotten Confucian in the Song and Ming dynasties, he was somewhat resistant to the massacre of civilians because of the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and righteousness in his heart. This is also why he destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but he did not massacre the indigenous people like Li Rong, Wei Chi Xunyu and others in order to avoid future troubles.
Under the repeated suggestions of the generals, they analyzed the stakes and interests, and since they did not do enough to massacre the natives at this moment, it would inevitably affect the resettlement of the Duzhou Governor in the future to receive more immigrants on the peninsula, especially the personal safety of the immigrants. Once the natives caused a large number of deaths and injuries to the immigrants, it will definitely cause the anger of the Yan King and condemn them.
However, in his work instructions to the governors and generals of the overseas capitals, King Yan clearly required them to eliminate the natives of the conquered lands in order to ensure a safe environment for resettlement and settlement after the arrival of immigrants.
Yang Shihong finally agreed, and ordered that all the captured people in the country of Gyasjia be killed, and ordered the troops to capture and kill any non-Chinese in their territory.
The Honghuwei quickly dispersed, with regiments as a unit (200 people per regiment, with a captain) in the country of Rangasgar to search and kill the natives, which lasted more than ten days, except for the deep mountains in the middle of the peninsula did not enter, the country was almost turned over, and the killing was all over before regrouping and attacking the kingdoms of Shanmaling, Luokun, and Swijaya to the north.
In the search and killing of more than ten days in the country of Xuanjia, Yang Shihong's heart became more and more ruthless because of the blood, and when he went north to conquer the Three Kingdoms again, he left the Confucian dogma of benevolence and righteousness behind, and passed all the way, and there were corpses everywhere.
The remnants of the Three Kingdoms fled into the mountains in terror, and the Tang army followed to the foot of the mountain before stopping.
Li Yu ordered the governors of Nanyang that the deep mountains covered with rainforests should not be entered until they were in danger, and it was the best policy to set fire to them during the dry season.
Just when Yang Shihong was going north to conquer the Three Kingdoms again, the three kingdoms of Chitu, Dandan, and Folong, who had just agreed to seek peace and apology, looked at the six countries repeatedly, and Yang Shihong's elite soldiers were pinned down in the territory of the three kingdoms of Danma Ling, Luo Kun, and Swayaya, and they were unable to move, and they started to think crookedly.
The Three Kingdoms were combined, and Yang Shihong led the elite troops to the north again, but it was not as fast as when the Three Kingdoms were destroyed before, but it was trapped in the north and it was difficult to withdraw for a while. Isn't that the perfect time for them to turn defeat into victory?
Isn't Zizhi City in the midst of a lack of troops?
"Then what are you waiting for, sneak attack Zizhi City, slaughter the Chinese in the city after breaking the city, cut off Yang Shihong's way back, and then raise the soldiers of the Eight Kingdoms to destroy him."
The king of terracotta shouted majestically, and the two kings Dandan and Folong slapped the table and applauded loudly.
After some secret deliberation, the three kings made the decision to send troops to attack Zizhi City, and at the same time contacted the Kada, Kedah and Malay tribes who had just returned to the country to jointly send troops.
In order to succeed in this battle in one fell swoop, the generals of the three kingdoms of Chitu, Dandan, and Folong were over thirteen years old, and all men who could afford swords and guns were recruited, and finally organized an army of 6,000 people to go to Zizhi City.
In order to be able to break through Zizhi's tall city walls, learn the lesson of the last time they had no siege experience, which led to their inability to take the city walls. The King of Terracotta came up with a clever plan and ordered his army to cut down more than 800 coconut trees two feet long to resist Zizhi City.
The Zizhi city wall is less than two zhang high, and when the city is about to be attacked, isn't it possible to form an inclined wooden ladder by putting hundreds of coconut trees side by side on the city wall? Are you still worried about not being able to storm the city wall?
How simple and practical, the King of Terracotta was complacent that he could think of such a clever plan.
After some careful consideration, the two countries of Kad, Kedah and the Malay tribes decided to respond to the call of the three kingdoms again, and the last man in the country of Pinguang also wanted to defeat Yang Shihong.
The news of Yang Shihong's eradication of grass in the country was spread to the Malay tribes of Kata, Kedah and nearby by the fleeing Kalkaska, who were forced to fight Yang Shihong to the end.
The two countries and the Malay tribes finally put together a force of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to go north to respond to Chitu, Dandan, and Folong.
What they didn't expect was that just two days after their soldiers and horses left the country in the north, 2,000 elite soldiers from the Puluo Governor's Mansion, which occupied the Ganga Kingdom in the south, suddenly crossed the mountains and mountains and marched north, taking the Kada, Kedah, and Zhumalay tribes by surprise.
After three battles, the only soldiers who could fight went north, and in the face of the surprise attack of the elite soldiers of the Puluo Governor's Mansion, the Kedah, and the Malay tribes had no backhand, but they were all defeated in three days. Except for a few who fled to the mountains to take refuge and survived, the two countries and the Malays were all slaughtered by the Tang army.
After Li Wenchang learned that the soldiers and horses who went north to easily exterminate the Katu, Kedah, and Zhumalay tribes, he summoned the generals of the Puluo Governor's Mansion and announced the conquest of the Mora You.
"Dudu, the three kingdoms of Chitu, Dandan, and Folong are still there, and they join forces to invade Zizhi City, should we copy the back roads of the three kingdoms and destroy them first and then attack Moluo You?"
Lieutenant Li Bao suggested.
"Leave the Three Kingdoms to Yang Shihong to solve by himself, and then rob him of the war exploits that should have destroyed the country, and he and the Duzhou Governor's Mansion will have to turn against our Puluo Governor's Mansion."
……
Halfway along the road, there was a sudden news that the kingdom and tribe had been wiped out by the Tang army, and the combined forces of Kata, Kedah, and Zhumalay suddenly cried, and the king of the Kada, as the commander of the coalition army, waved his army south to prepare to retake his country despite the opposition of everyone.
On the way back to China, the coalition army encountered He Kegang, who was leading the army to search for and kill the natives.
After an encounter, the coalition army was defeated by He Kegang's 800 elite soldiers in one fell swoop, beheading more than 2,000 ranks.
When the king was defeated and fled, he was shot by an arrow from He Kegang's elite cavalry, and the remnants of the coalition army escaped from the pursuit of the Tang army when they fled into the mountains.
Outside Zizhi City, the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms besieging the city used coconut trees to build a ramp ladder on the city wall, and failed to conquer the city defended by 2,000 soldiers for two days.
Instead, one bad news after another came.
The Kada, Kedah, and Zhumalay tribes were wiped out by the Tang army of the Puluo Governor's Mansion who suddenly went north, and Yang Shihong, who was leveling the three northern kingdoms, learned that the three kingdoms of terracotta had rebelled again, and was gathering soldiers and horses to return south.
The faces of the three kings of Chitu, Dandan, and Folong were as pale as earth, and the Tang army of the Puluo Governor's Mansion was from the Ganga Kingdom that they had conquered, and the southeast of their three kingdoms was less than 200 miles southeast of the Pahang Kingdom that the Tang army had conquered a few years earlier. There are thousands of people stationed in the Tang army of the Puluo Governor's Mansion, and Nuo Qiqi also went north to sneak attack?
The three kings were shocked, Nuo Zhen was attacked by the Tang army, and the country was destroyed with the usual methods of the Tang army.
The three kings hurriedly withdrew from the siege and returned to the south, and Shi Lu Jingqian, the governor of Duizhou who was guarding Zizhi City, waved his army out of the city to attack the coalition army that had withdrawn in panic, and was defeated thirty miles outside the city.
The kings of Dandan and Folong were beheaded, and the king of red soil fled with only more than a thousand remnants.
After this battle, most of the indigenous kingdoms on the peninsula were destroyed, and there was no longer a threat to the existence of the Tang army.
Lu Jingqian, who had no worries, raised a thousand troops to pursue the king of the terracotta, pursued it until the capital of the country, and broke through the capital in less than half an hour to capture the king of the terracotta, and ordered that no one should be left alive in the terracotta country.
After destroying the terracotta country and slaughtering its people, Lu Jingqian continued to go south and slaughtered Dandan and Fulong successively, before collecting troops and returning to the city.
Yang Shihong, who was walking halfway, suddenly turned around and attacked the last indigenous kingdom at the southern tip of the Polar Peninsula.
