Chapter 182: Another King Descended
King Tony Ruyang Lin expected to covet the territory of the King of Hongdu, and the King of Hongdu, who was still in a panic, faced the dilemma of being attacked on both sides, one side was the arm, the other side was the thigh, the curly-haired and blue-eyed Tubo had long lost patience with him, they were men who grew up on horseback, and only on the battlefield could they exert their combat power, from the beginning they felt that the value of Hongdu, the king of the water, was not high, and now the King of Hongdu buried all his family in a war, and he no longer had the qualifications to enjoy the current wealth and status.
King Tony's army began to advance to the territory of King Hongdu, there are Tubo people behind him to support him, so that he is now fearless, in fact, King Tony is not a pawn of Tubo, he really thought that he annexed King Hongdu will be able to become bigger, the Tubo people have a wise prime minister, called Lu Dongzan, he now orders King Tony to attack King Hongdu, in fact, he wants to push King Tony out to try the blade of the Tang army, the army of the Tubo people has taken over the city defense of King Tony, King Tony, this son can only play a role in weakening the Tang army at mostAt that time, the Tubo people who actually control the city of King Tony will no longer recognize the dominance of the defeated King Tony in his territory, and will justifiably assign the name of King Tony's territory to Tibet.
The land of Jiaozhi is not only important to the Tang Dynasty, it is as important as the Tubo, it is not only the Tang Dynasty that lacks food, the rich grain here has become a piece of fat, causing the competition between the two hungry countries, the marching speed of the Yanglin is not fast, the five hundred war elephants are divided into two groups, all the way to break the big trees in the forest, to the army to flow a wide road out, all the way to drag two hundred Shenwei cannons in the rear slowly hurry, the mountain here is not steep, but there are more trees, the task of the marines is to follow the war elephants to move the trees away, Fill in some potholes and pave the way for the big cars behind.
"I've been grinding on the road for more than ten days, King Tony and King Hongdu should be fighting!" Yang Lin sat on the back of a war elephant with a large saddle. The saddle is square and has a roof on it, and Chachai keeps fanning him with a fan made of banana leaves, so that it is not a problem for two people to sit on the saddle the size of a square table, and there are some coconut mesh bags woven with ropes hanging on the side of the elephant saddle for Yanglin to drink at any time.
Thin black female soldiers straddle the two tusks of the war elephant and direct the elephant forward, the scenery at the root of the thigh can always cause some male soldiers not to be calm, it is a very bad thing to hold up the tent and hurry, no way, in this damn place, the hot women are too lazy to get dressed. So I thought that the welfare was coming, and I was addicted to playing and decisively walked a few miles before returning to the fleet, although the same heat at sea was better than the little brother in the crotch of his pants being worn out by his clothes.
"The fight started, but it soon ended again, the Tang army made King Tony too jealous, and they set up a formation on a plain thirty miles away from the Hongdu King City, which is said to be there to compete with my Tang army." The scorpion followed the war elephant and hurried briskly, and the jungle was full of poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and only the scorpion came forward to communicate with the spies who had lurked in advance.
"Plains? The land of Cochin comes from the plains. I'm afraid that this King Tony has destroyed a lot of people's rice fields, and you can see the cavalry of the Tubo people? Yang Lin sucked a sip of coconut water through a straw tube and continued to ask.
"No, except for King Tony's and a few generals riding war horses, there is no sign of cavalry movement nearby. This is an area that our people have focused on, so you can rest assured. The scorpion followed the elephant for a while, and found that he was looking for sin, not only eating the dust that the elephant brought up when he walked. He was also squeezed by the huge guys to the bumpy place on the side of the road, and as he answered, he had already spotted an empty baby elephant behind him. With a leap of his body, he rode onto the back of the baby elephant.
The baby elephant grew so big and was ridden by someone, always curious to take the nose to hook the person on the back, the scorpion had to find a banana to feed into its mouth to let the baby elephant settle down, in fact, the elephant loves to eat sweet sugar cane, with sugar cane to feed them, it will be much simpler when training, don't look at these guys are bulky, wisdom is actually not low, Yang Lin remembers that in the zoo of later generations, many elephants will play football and dance performances, in the large size of the animal, the wisdom of the elephant can be regarded as the highest.
"The Tubo people want to learn from us, and rightfully occupy a piece of Jiaozhi land, but their trick of killing people with a knife is not high, I haven't heard that the Tubo people will farm land, especially rice, and so on The natives of Jiaozhi are collected, and the land of Jiaozhi will naturally become ours."
Yanglin is still talking about strategy, Peng Jian has received Yanglin's death order, blockade the territory and coast of the Hongdu King, and do not allow the defeated Hongdu King to escape from the sea, this is his chance to atone for his crimes, and he personally led the army to advance, that is, to take over the territory and population of the Hongdu King, the population of the Tang Dynasty itself is very insufficient, it is impossible to send many people to Jiaozhi to engage in development and construction, the application of locals, and collecting their people's hearts is the only way that Yanglin can think of to quickly digest Jiaozhi, so he is trying to avoid killing, Even if it was King Tony, if it wasn't necessary, Yang Lin thought he could let him go.
It doesn't take a few days to walk hundreds of miles on the water, but it takes a full month on land, and it is already May when it enters the sphere of influence of King Hongdu, and it is the hottest time of the year, and the two cities under the name of King Hongdu are captured without any resistance along the road, the main battle army was destroyed, and the remnants of the army are cowering in Dawang City, how can those who only have a small number of city defense troops be the opponent of the Tang army, and the two cities of Yanglin are used in a row. Threats and intimidation 'forced the city gates to open, there was no loss, and the army was also forbidden to seize the people's property, a policy, comparable to Yingji City, and when the army reached the third city, there was no need to shout in the Yang Forest formation, and the general who defended the city surrendered from afar.
Grandpa Mao's strategic policy is the most correct, if you don't take a stitch from the masses, the army will only be welcomed by the masses, and activities such as singing and dancing performances and free clinics and medicine delivery will directly make the people forget that they are being invaded.
Dare to ask the Tang army ruled here, how much tax is a year? If you want to eat something delicious and buy something useful, take the grain you grow to the merchants to exchange, or you can directly exchange the grain for gold, silver and copper coins that are not afraid of rotting, so that even if you grow three seasons of rice a year, you will not worry about running out of food, and you can exchange it for a lot of exquisite goods and copper coins.
The Tang Army was able to progress so smoothly in the land of Jiaozhi, mainly because they did not conflict with the interests of the people, not only that, but they also overthrew the kings who exploited them originally, playing the role of heroes who rescued the poor and maintained world peace. Such an army can only be a heavenly soldier sent by heaven to end the chaos in Jiaozhi.
The Hongdu King City appeared on the horizon, the reason why he was stronger than King Yingji was because he occupied more plains and ruled more people, and when hundreds of armored war elephants appeared under the Hongdu King's city, the King of Hongdu knew how ridiculous he was, and he also wanted to run out to pick up the bargain after the battle between the Tang Army and King Tony's army with less than 10,000 defenders in the city, but after seeing the tens of thousands of troops in Yanglin after more than three months of reorganization, he was completely desperate, It is impossible for King Tony to defeat the Tang army, he is just a greedy wolf, not even a wolf, and the Tang army is a strong tiger, and he can easily slap King Tony to death with a wave of his grab.
"Chachai, come forward and shout, Kaicheng surrenders within an hour, the Tang army can forgive them for their previous disrespect, if they are obsessed, the Tang army will use another hour to raze this place to the ground." Yang Lin greeted Chachai and continued to drink his coconut water, sweating too fast, especially when practicing qigong in the morning, he had to replenish a lot of water to make his body more comfortable.
"Well, when the king of Hongdu heard it, he quickly opened the city and surrendered, and the commander-in-chief of my family said that he could forgive you for your previous disrespect, and if you were persistent, your city would be razed to the ground in an hour." Chachai spoke with a Sichuan accent in later generations, held the loudspeaker of the art troupe, and hurried alone with a war elephant to the foot of the city wall of Hongdu Wangcheng and shouted, but he didn't know that he had forgotten the time limit that Yang Lin said.
The sergeants at the head of the city saw the neatly lined Tang army, their heels were actually soft, and the war elephants pulling the carts did not block the Shenwei cannon behind them, this thing was something that instantly defeated the more than 20,000 sailors of the King of Hongdu, I heard that the coast had long been blocked by the huge warships of the Tang Dynasty, even if they wanted to, it would be impossible for them to escape, and they looked at the pale King of Hongdu with desolate eyes one by one.
"Get out of the city, I'm going to open the city and surrender"
The king of Hongdu shouted while rushing to the city, and the soldiers of the king of Hongdu who heard the words were all happy, and they didn't know who took the lead, and the whole city wall resounded with cheers.
When the man King Hongdu knelt down under Yang Lin's mount, Yang Lin, who had drunk his stomach, got up lazily and said, "Take him, let's go and catch King Tony and let him be convinced." ”
In a daze, he was dragged onto an elephant, and when all the defenders of Hongdu Wangcheng were stunned, the Tang army rushed straight to King Tony's army thirty miles away. (To be continued......)
