When the two armies on the north shore of Phuket were fighting, more than 300 warships from Sumatra and Mulu landed on the beach south of Phuket City.

The defenders of Phuket City, who discovered the situation, sent someone to inform the governor Li Rong because there were only 1,000 soldiers in the city who could fight, so they had to defend the city in case they had to defend the city.

The 20,000 combined forces of the Sumatra and Mulu kingdoms quickly rushed to Phuket City and surrounded the city of Phuket, which was no more than nine miles in circumference.

In the face of Phuket City, which is built with rammed earth to build a city three feet high, the allied forces of the two countries, which have never fought a decent siege battle, are suddenly helpless, looking at the city and sighing.

Most of the Nanyang countries did not build cities, and some were only fenced with fences and mounds of earth, like the tall and solid rammed earth cities that were popular in the land of China, which were impossible to build in Nanyang.

The wars between the countries of the South Seas are all decisive battles in the field, and there is no such thing as defending and attacking the city, even the Wa kingdom at this moment.

At this moment, the white sand beaches of Phuket's north coast, which attracts tourists from all over the world more than a thousand years later, are stained red with blood.

Li Rong and his 4,000 soldiers were red-eyed, and like slaughtering livestock, they retreated the coalition forces that only had the strength to parry into the sea, so that the sea turned red. The gore attracted miles of saltwater crocodiles and sharks to scramble for the dead bodies floating in the sea.

Seeing this scene, more than 2,000 allied troops who had not yet reached the south bank immediately rowed back to the north shore, and the army of the Kingdom of Swijaya fled even more simply. The remaining more than 1,000 coalition troops took a look, most of them were trapped on the south bank and slaughtered by the Tang army, and the more than 1,000 troops of the Swayjaya Kingdom ran away, so why stay here? Waiting to die? Immediately ran into the rainforest and disappeared.

This caused the South Shore to wail in pain, begging the North Shore coalition forces to row a boat to relieve their coalition forces dumbfounded.

Now it is impossible to advance or retreat, and it is put to death.

The king took the lead in leading his army to kneel and surrender, and the remnants of the terracotta, Kada, Kedah, and Gazskar saw it and laid down their arms and surrendered.

In less than half an hour, the more than 8,000 allied troops who landed surrendered more than 5,000 people, collected their weapons, and knelt on the beach.

This made it difficult for Li Rong, who received Phuket City to be besieged by 20,000 soldiers and horses of Sumatra and Mulu.

There are more prisoners than your own soldiers and horses, and it is not a good thing that the nest is surrounded by enemy troops.

Li Rong asked the generals to discuss how to deal with the prisoners, and the commander of the first brigade proposed: "Governor, just kill them all." ”

This man's proposal was supported by the vast majority of the general schools.

The reason is simple, there are 20,000 enemy troops outside Phuket City, which is not a good situation for the Tang army, and it is difficult to keep prisoners and suddenly rebel when the war is most urgent.

Then they're done with the Phuket Governor's House.

Li Rongyi moved, although he was a little reluctant to give up more than 5,000 slaves, but the military situation was urgent, so what could he do?

"Kill it."

On that day, before the captives could recover from the horror they had just had, they were slaughtered on the beach by the murderous Tang army, and the blood turned into a trickle and flowed into the sea.

After a day's rest, Li Rong led his army south.

Knowing that the main force of the Tang Army was blocking the Nine-Nation Coalition Army in the north of the island, the Sumatra State and the Mulu State Coalition Army, which had no choice but to take Phuket City, divided 10,000 troops to the north, in an attempt to flank the Tang Army from the north and south with the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Li Rong marched forty miles in a hurry, and encountered the allied forces of the two countries going north fifteen miles north of Phuket City, and a major battle broke out in an instant.

Given the strength of the enemy, the coalition forces, dominated by the Sumatran army, were not comparable to the weaker forces of the smaller countries on the polar peninsula.

At the most anxious moment of the war, Li Rong suddenly led 200 cavalry in the exterminating army to kill, and inserted himself into the enemy formation from the left flank of the two armies.

None of the Sumatra troops who came to stop them could stop them, so Li Rong's two hundred elite cavalry forced a way out of his army formation and approached his army commander.

"Stop him......"

The Sumatra boss shouted at the approaching Li Rong, and ordered him to step forward to block it as quickly as possible, while he quickly retreated.

The Sumatra army that swarmed on the left and right were all infantry, and they had no experience in fighting cavalry, and everyone looked horrified in the face of Li Rong and the cavalry riding Qinghai Cheng.

The arrows shot by the soft bow in the hands of the Sumatra army could not penetrate the iron helmets and bright armor worn by Li Rong and the others, and the spears in their hands were not as long as the horse lances held by Li Rong and others.

In just one shot, the Sumatra army of seven or eight hundred who came to block the attack was killed by Li Rong and scattered and fled, and the commander of the fleeing Sumatra army was caught up by Li Rong's spear through his body and picked up on his horse.

The Sumatran army was horrified when it saw that its commander was picked by Li Rong, and the army was in turmoil, and the Tang army took advantage of the momentum to attack, and the Sumatran army was defeated and fled to the south.

Li Rong waved his army to cover the kill, and pursued to the foot of Phuket City.

The combined forces of the Sumatra State and the Mulu State outside Phuket City saw the defeat of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north, and were covered up and killed by the Tang army all the way, losing more than half of them, and had to immediately withdraw from the siege and set up camp in the southwest of Phuket City.

Li Rong entered the city amid the cheers of the people in the city, and announced in public: "The Nine-Nation Alliance on the Polar Peninsula has been defeated by a certain and beheaded more than 8,000. After defeating the more than 10,000 enemy troops south of the city, he will raise his troops to the north and sweep across the northern part of the Polar Peninsula......"

"Governor, after the barbarian countries on the polar peninsula are destroyed, will you give us the land?"

In the expectant eyes of the soldiers and civilians, Li Rong replied affirmatively: "Yes, after sweeping the nine barbarian states and a number of Malay tribes on the polar peninsula, the Governor's Mansion will divide the land for everyone." Those who have made war exploits for the country are all from 300 acres. ”

"Governor, I heard that King Yan will send 30,000 immigrants to our Phuket Governor's Mansion this year, is the land that has been beaten down enough to be divided?"

"Hahaha......"

Li Rong and the civil and military officials and generals of the Governor's Mansion laughed. Changshi smiled: "Don't worry, everyone, the land will always be enough." Don't look at the barbarian countries on the polar peninsula that are not strong, they are small countries with sparse populations, but the territory they occupy is not small. According to conservative estimates, there are tens of millions of acres of reclaimed plains at the northern end of the polar peninsula swept by the Phuket Governorate, and it stretches north from the land east of Phuket. ”

……

When the news came that Li Rong led his army to rest in the city and prepare to come to the city to defeat the combined forces of Sumatra and Mulu in one fell swoop, and that the South China Sea Fleet had defeated the combined fleet of the four countries on the South China Sea on Linga Island, annihilating 30,000 enemies and destroying 1,400 enemy ships, the military and people of the city were overjoyed.

Two days later, Li Rong led the 4,000 Tang troops with high fighting spirit to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack the combined forces of Sumatra and Mulu in the southwest of the city.

The two sides fought fiercely for half a day, the coalition forces were defeated, and the news that the combined fleet of the four countries was defeated by the Tang Navy also came with the merchant ships.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the king of Sumatra immediately ordered the entire army to retreat and board the ship to return home, but the news was not revealed to his ally Mulu.

When the Sumatra army ran away, the dumb army that was still on the battlefield was ignorant and endured all the attacks of the Tang army, and its king and 2,000 dumb army all became the souls of the Tang army.

After annihilating the Mulu army, Li Rong pursued non-stop despite the exhaustion of the whole army's fierce battle, and caught up at the beach where the Sumatran army boarded the ship, and the two sides fought again. The Sumatran army, which was eager to board the ship and return home, was defeated on all fronts before they could even stop a single charge of the Tang army, and became the target of the Tang army.

When the Sumatran ships stopped in the bay saw the Tang army chasing them, they hurriedly fled in their boats, causing the Sumatra soldiers who were defeated and rushed into the sea to look at the ships and cry.

The king of Sumatra, under the desperate protection of his subordinates, snatched a small boat and fled into the sea, looking back on the beach and turning it into a crimson hell.

The soldiers under his command, who fled into the sea and fluttered, became the best target for the soldiers of the Tang Army on the shore to practice archery.
