A.D. 1073, Huang Yuan 3790, Xining 6th year, 1st day of November. Ten thousand ships have gathered in Lingya Port, and the 460,000 troops have been loaded and are waiting to go on the expedition.

Among them, the Great Song Dynasty had 300,000 border guards, 100,000 sea guards, and the Japanese Emperor Shirakawa also brought 30,000 sailors. This time, it was not the Great Song Dynasty that helped the Great Song Dynasty resist the invasion of the Chola Kingdom, but the Three Buddhas who helped the Great Song Dynasty invade the Chola Kingdom.

To Zhao's surprise, Japan actually sent 30,000 sailors to help in the war in accordance with the imperial covenant, and it was the emperor himself. Zhao didn't know if this was Japan's belligerent nature or if Japan was very trustworthy.

"Big brother, don't underestimate the Japanese sailors, all the warships have been changed, they are all ordered by the Yangjia shipyard in Beijing, although they are not as good as the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, but they are always a little stronger than the sailors of the third brother." Emperor Shirakawa said as if he was a little angry.

"Second brother, is this showing off Japan's wealth?" Sriwijaya King Zhanbei squinted and said.

"Alright. All right. What is the situation in Japan? There won't be another daimyo rebellion, right? Zhao Ji asked.

"Big brother, you can rest assured. It's all arranged. You see, this doesn't bring 100,000 stone of grain. Emperor Shirakawa patted his chest and said.

Zhao Ji, Bai He, Zhanbei and others once became brothers of the opposite sex after the alliance of various countries. At the beginning, the Pope of the Chinese Empire, Master Mingjue, proposed that the monarchs of the nine member states of the Chinese Empire become brothers of the opposite sex, symbolizing that the member states are brotherly countries. However, Yelu Hongji did not agree, because Song Liao had long been married to a brotherly state, and according to his generation, he was Zhao Xu's uncle. If they become brothers again, won't they mess up the generations?

And Duan Lianyi, the king of Dali, because he was much older than Zhao Ji, did not dare to be the eldest brother of the Great Song Emperor, so he supported Yelu Hongji. It is claimed that the countries are fraternal states, but the worship of the monarchs of each country should be a private matter for the monarchs of each country.

In the end, the monarchs of the nine countries, only the monarchs of the seven countries bowed. Zhao Ji is the eldest, followed by Baihe, Zhanbei, Sudali, Wang Yun, Li Bingchang, and Li Qiande.

"That's good. Walk. It's time to raise the account. Zhao Ji took the hands of the two and entered the Chinese army camp.

After the three of them stood in the tent, they stood on the left hand side of the tent. Subsequently, the generals of the three kingdoms entered the camp separately, and Zhang Ji stood on the top of the big tent, glanced at it solemnly, and said: "The generals will listen to the order." ”

"Yes." The generals said in unison.

Zhang Ji took out an arrow, walked off the platform, and handed it to Zhao Jidao: "Shengshang, Emperor Baihe, King Zhanbei, the three of you led a total of 100,000 sailors as the vanguard, annihilated the Chola sailors, and pointed directly at Kanchi, the capital of Chola (Chennai, India in later generations), and in ten days, you must take the port to ensure the smooth landing of the army." ”

"Shousuke rest assured, I will live up to my mission." Zhao Ji took the arrow and said.

Zhang Ji looked helpless, in fact, he was 10,000 unwilling to let Zhao Ji be a pioneer. However, the three monarchs were in the vanguard, which was very morale-boosting.

Zhang Qi nodded, walked back to the first general's platform, and continued to order: "Xiao Yiyuan and Hu Zhihai listened to the order and ordered you to lead 30,000 sea guards and 100,000 border guards to attack Padbara, the northern city of Chola. Give you a month to sweep away all the northern parts of Chola. ”

"The last general commands." Xiao Yiyuan took the arrow and said loudly.

"He Qiushui, Koizumi Taiichiro, you two each lead 10,000 sea guards to blockade the ports on the eastern coast of the Chola Kingdom." Zhang Qi continued to order.

"The last general commands." He Qiushui and Koizumi Taiichiro received the order.

"Zhou Tong and Gao Fei listen to the order, you two, after taking the port in Shengshang, lead 200,000 main border guards to take Kanchi for me. Destroy the Chola Kingdom. Zhang Qi continued to order.

"The last general commands." The two of them commanded.

"The rest of the people, get ready, follow this Shousuke, and attack the island of Shilan. The military aircraft cabinet moved to Shiran Island. The island of Shiran was changed to Baoju, and six prefectures were established. 50,000 Baojia troops and their 350,000 family members all moved to Baozhou. After Baozhou was captured, it was immediately divided into households and tuntian. The local people of Xilan Island were loaded and transported to Jinzhou, and those who did not listen to the arrangement were killed. Zhang Qi mobilized.

Five days later, in the morning, at the rough sea, countless sail shadows gradually appeared in the fog, Zhao Ji stood side by side with Bai He and Zhanbei on the deck, and a sailor was shirtless and wearing breeches, and hurried to report: "Tell the saint." It's all been explored, and the vicinity is indeed full of deep water. ”

"The sailors of the Zhu Luo Kingdom are probably all staying in the harbor, with such a big fog, they don't have the courage to go to sea to face the battle." Zhao Ji said with a grin.

"Big brother, they don't have the ability, they also deserve to be called sailors, but they are just a group of fishing boats. Hahaha. Emperor Shirakawa laughed.

"Keep going. Yang Yingrong led the left flank and blocked their harbor for me. Pan Jie, leading the right flank, rushed to land from here. Zhao Ji ordered.

"Yes." The two arched their hands. After saying that, he went down to make arrangements.

Pan Jie's orders were transmitted one by one through the searchlight hand to all ships, nearly 5,000 large and small warships, and 16,000 large and small troop transport ships continued to sail forward. At this time, the soldiers of the Chola Kingdom garrison on the shore apparently discovered them and hurried to report them.

"So many ships!" The soldiers of the Chola State on the defense smacked their tongues.

Soon, a loud roar rang out from the tent of the king of Chola, Rozetula: "Gather my elephant soldiers, the enemy must have landed from the deep water bay of Nellore." This time I'm going to give them a head-on blow. ”

"Yes, King." An officer with a nose ring hurried out. Subsequently, the figure of Rozetura chased out again: "Wait a minute. ”

"What else do you command, my lord?" The official saluted Rozetula.

Rozetura paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then asked, "How many soldiers can a fleet of ships with dark clouds carry?" ”

"The warships of the Chinese Empire are very large, and the fog is so big that it is not clear to see, and the whole sea seems to be full of warships. At least four hundred thousand. The official made a random estimate and replied respectfully.

"It feels like today is a good sign, huh. May Shiva bless their children and grandchildren with victory. Rozetula's gloomy mood was swept away, and he rejoiced: "Let them pay for their arrogance!" Tell Drat that this time he has full command and let the king see his prowess. ”

"Yes." After the officer kowtowed, he received the order and went away.

········“ Second brother, why did you change the route? Don't go to Padbara? In the sea breeze, Xiao Yiyuan looked into the distance, and Hu Zhihai asked on the side.

"Go to Nellore." Xiao Yiyuan replied briefly.

"Second brother, I lost a battle last time, and the military cabinet is going to remove the second brother from the position of Qunfu. Fortunately, there was pressure from the officials, and the military cabinet did not move. Most of the military cabinet are Wang Anshi's people. The two major consuls of the DPRK and China have nothing in front of the officials, but they are fighting fiercely in secret. The second brother is Sima's ruling person, and Zhang Ji is Wang Anshi's person. If you don't listen to the military order this time, those literati will probably shoot you. Hu Zhihai said anxiously.

"Say no more. No matter who it is, it is a member of the official family. The official family is here, and they dare not move. Xiao Yiyuan explained.

"Second brother is saying." Hu Zhihai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yiyuan. "Let's go. When the time comes, you'll understand. Big brother may be able to transfer it back. Xiao Yiyuan patted Hu Zhihai on the shoulder and said.

········· The 1.3 million Chola army was distributed around Kanchi, the capital of the Chola State, of which more than 800,000 were ambushed in the great jungle of Nellore, including 100,000 elephant soldiers. The Chola Kingdom had already calculated that the imperial army would land from here.

Boom Boom Boom ····· The sound of thunderbolt explosions disturbed the tranquility of the coast, and countless thunderbolts fell on the coast, like rain, and the whole coast was blown into the sand. The Chola soldiers immediately realized the danger and quickly withdrew from the range of the guns, running for miles before daring to stop.

The thunderbolts were all delivered with thirteen bubbles, and the range was seven miles. In order to prepare for this battle, when the empire went south to attack Java, not a single thirteen-point gunboat was dispatched. This time the empire sent almost half of its gunboats, more than eight hundred, to project wildly near the coast.

In parallel with the gunboats, small boats such as loaches, centipedes, and dragon boats for landing were specially used for landing. The boat was full of soldiers of the Coast Guard. The entire sea area is covered by small boats for landing, and it is not known how many. The first of the top ten generals, Luo Hao, a general who had a holiday with Zhou Dong, stood on a landing dragon boat and watched the movement along the coast with a monocular. Finally, he raised his hand and shouted in high spirits: "Soldiers, row quickly, and earn meritorious service after going ashore!" ”

"Hooray." Many of them yelled with a hippie smile and then sped up their rowing.

Immediately after the first landing ship began to approach the beach, it was only then that the gunboats behind them stopped firing thunderbolts. The enemy had already been driven miles away by artillery fire, and by the time they came to intercept it again, the army had landed successfully.

A total of 80,000 coast guards landed on the right flank, covering the mountains and fields. "The whole team is coming over here." The officers who landed first immediately raised their flags, attracting a large number of landing soldiers to move closer to that side, and prepared to march inland in whole formations.

The dense landing ships crashed into the beach, and then countless soldiers carried all kinds of ordnance, jumped onto the beach, carried them ashore, and assembled them.

And the Chola soldiers on the other side also appeared, but they were too far away, and there were already enough coast guards on this side to land on the beach. They were just a small force guarding the early warning along the coast, and there was no way to prevent the Imperial army from landing, so they could only watch as more and more of the Coast Guards landed on the shore. On the other hand, it is also waiting for a large force to come and intercept it.

Pan Jie led the generals, the landing has been completed, and the rocket artillery vehicle has also been installed. The generals began to set up the formation and move forward with an excited face.

At this time, the ground suddenly trembled faintly, and the soldiers of the Chola Kingdom who were warning in the distance also cheered with joy.

Appearing in front of the Coast Guard were huge elephants with huge bodies, gradually approaching three or four miles away, and the Indian elephants were in groups of six and sixty in a team according to the old-fashioned military establishment. The six elephants did not advance in a neat phalanx, because the battle was not a military parade, so they did not pay attention to beauty and neatness. Instead, it occupies six directions in the shape of a plum blossom, leaving enough space for the elephant to sprint and sprint.

A war elephant is equipped with a javelin-bearer and an archer, and the archer is responsible for controlling the war elephant, because the archers have the best eyes and a good sense of direction. Then, there is an axe soldier and a sword and shield soldier, ready to fight at any time.

The elephant is huge, with a long trunk, and the most penetrating thing is that there are two long tusks on the side of the mouth. Some of the soldiers had seen the animal at the Battle of Katoha and had defeated it, but when they saw thousands of giant elephants approaching them, some of them had begun to show fear on their faces
