Chapter 130: All-out counteroffensive

According to Zhao Ji's orders, Xiao Yiyuan escorted the king of Java and his civil and military ministers and chiefs to Tianjing and handed them over to the imperial pope for disposal. Of the 200,000 Javanese army, except for the 60,000 sailors who died in battle, the remaining 140,000 people were handed over to Sriwijaya and disposed of by Sriwijaya. Sriwijaya sent all 140,000 people to various estates in Sriwijaya to be serfs.

Some skilled craftsmen in Java were selected by Xiao Yiyuan to form an engineering regiment as a soldier slave to conquer India. The treasury of Java was confiscated into the Great Song Dynasty, and the grain and grass were divided equally with the Three Buddhas as the common military rations of the Chinese Imperial Army. The population belongs to the Three Buddhas, and the wealth belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, which has been discussed a long time ago.

After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, all countries received the great benefits given by the Great Song Dynasty to a certain extent, and the Great Song Dynasty also received the two great benefits of no war in the surrounding areas and allies. If the Great Song Dynasty administers the state of Java, according to the county system of the Great Song Dynasty, it is obviously impossible, after all, the degree of economic development is different. And if it is only to submit to the tribute, it is very likely to rebel. It is most appropriate for such a small country to be annexed by the Three Buddhas, both of whom have a system of feudal fiefdoms.

After the end of the Battle of Java, the Bo Ni Kingdom sent a special envoy to Lingya to hand over the surrender table. According to the covenant at the time of the alliance, the Boni Kingdom was incorporated into Srivijaya and became one of the subordinate states of Srivijaya. After the surrender of the Bo Ni Kingdom, Sriwijaya took over all the armies of the Bo Ni Kingdom and recruited the Bo Ni soldiers to weaken the strength of the Bo Ni Kingdom. At the same time, it was ordered to demolish all the chapels of the Celestial Sect and rebuild them into Buddhist temples.

The country of Bo Ni, that is, Malaysia in later generations. At this time, the country's population was less than one million and depended on the maritime spice trade for survival. The demise of the state of Java made the king of the state of Bo Ni see the tragic fate of being destroyed. As a last resort, you can only surrender. But fortunately, he was not escorted to Tianjing and was not ousted from the throne. According to the mining system of the Three Buddhas, the Bo Ni Kingdom became a subject state of the Three Buddhas, with internal autonomy, but it made regular offerings to the Three Buddhas every year, and waited for the military orders of the Three Buddhas.

In return for the Great Song Dynasty, both Sriwijaya and Bo Ni pledged to crack down on water thieves in the Spice Islands and ensure the smooth passage of the sea route from Lingya to Jinzhou. The nine major member states of the Chinese Empire were united by the supportive diplomacy of the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, for Zhao Ji, the time has not yet come to rule countries through military force and then realize the unification of China. The prelude to great unification is the mutual integration of cultures, the great integration of nationalities, and the mutual exchange of economies. Under the role of the Chinese Empire, an allied empire, economic and cultural, ethnic integration, will be accelerated, which is much more effective than direct military conquest.

With the arrival of Zhao Ji, with the arrival of the processed food in Lingya. The morale of the expeditionary force was greatly boosted, and then a counteroffensive was launched against the Chola state. Although three vassal states in the Katoha region were seized by the Chola State, with the surrender of the Java State to the Bo Ni State, in addition to becoming the subject states of the Three Buddhas, Java and Bo Ni States also directly became the subject states of the Three Buddhas, and the number of subordinate states of the Three Buddhas increased from fifteen to twenty-three.

As a result, the Three Buddhas, who had been on the verge of extinction, with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, reinvigorated their national strength. History repeats itself, and the Three Buddhas gathered 200,000 troops, 10,000 canoe warships, and the 400,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty gathered in Lingya Prefecture.

The military cabinet immediately issued a military order for a counteroffensive. The 200,000 Three Buddha Qi Sailors and the 100,000 Great Song Sailors marched westward, and the Chola Navy's Sailors only had 200,000, so in terms of troops, the Chinese Empire had a much greater advantage. Originally, Bagan promised the Chola Kingdom to lead troops into the war to resist the expansion of the Chinese Empire, however, Duan Lianyi brought 30,000 troops from the Great Song Dynasty, and soon integrated the national strength and led 200,000 troops to attack Bagan in the south, which had the potential to destroy Bagan in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the Chinese Imperial Army was much stronger than the naval division of the Chola State in terms of strength and equipment, the naval division of the Chola State immediately retreated to the naked country (Andaman Islands), hoping to take advantage of the geographical advantage to resist the attack of the imperial army. The Naked Kingdom is one of the vassal states of the Chola Kingdom, and a large amount of grain and grass has been hoarded on the island, and with the support of these grains and grasses, the sailors of the Chola Kingdom can wait for work and confront the imperial sailors for a long time in the vast Xilan Sea.

The supply line of the Imperial Sailors was stretched, and if it was supplied from Lingya Prefecture or Zhanbei City, it would obviously not work. However, the Chola State ignored the empire's determination to conquer India in the west, ignored the powerful national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and ignored the advanced technology of the Great Song Dynasty in land reclamation. With the Chola Navy Division being driven out of the Lingya Strait, with the support of the people of Sriwijaya and the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, a large number of personnel and materials were transported all the way west along the Lingya Strait, and in just ten days, the tropical jungle was cut down in the wild area in the northwest corner of the Three Buddhas, a city was built, and a large port was opened up as a supply point for the sailors.

The Naked Country (Andaman Islands) is a long and narrow island that almost blocks the Lynga Strait. As long as this archipelago is captured, the imperial sailors will be able to attack the island of Xilan and the kingdom of Chola. However, the topography of the archipelago made it impossible for the Great Song Naval Division to exert its combat strength, and with this archipelago, the Chola Naval Division defeated the Imperial Naval Division three times in a row. The Battle of Shiran turned into a tug-of-war.

This situation was quickly reported to the military cabinet, and after discussion, the cabinet found that the real constraint on the imperial sailors was a 20,000-strong Chola navy division on the west coast of Katoha. The 20,000 sailors in the Katoha region and the 100,000 sailors in the Nude Nation Islands formed a horn. No matter which part of the Imperial Naval Division is attacked, it will be attacked from behind, and once the Imperial Naval Division divides its troops, as the attacking side, the strength will be insufficient. Moreover, in addition to being attacked from behind, the sailors attacking the west coast of Katoha will also lose supplies from the rear, and it is easy to cut off the sea route.

"Withdraw." Xiao Yiyuan, the commander of the 300,000 Imperial Water Division, ordered.

"Damn, these barbarians, there is still this method of warfare." The commander of the sailor said with a curse, and then ordered: "Start the water wheel and withdraw the troops quickly." ”

Countless sailors of the Chola Kingdom climbed onto the Great Song Dynasty warship with their bare hands and engaged the Great Song sailors on the warship. The Imperial Naval Division was inexplicably ambushed and quickly withdrew.

In this battle, the sailors of the Sriwijaya who rode in the canoe warship were severely damaged, and their canoes were short, and the sailors of the Chola Kingdom could get into the Sriwijaya warship from the water.

After losing more than 30,000 men, the Imperial Marines withdrew from the waters off the naked islands. No one thought that the sailors of the Chola Kingdom were so good at diving and so good at climbing! The Chola Kingdom actually ambushed 100,000 sailors at the inevitable stop of the Imperial Naval Division in the open sea, and when the Imperial Naval Division was preparing to carry out a landing battle and storm the Nuren Islands, he climbed onto the deck of the Great Song Warship from the bare belly of the ship with his bare hands.

After the defeat of the Imperial Naval Division, the Military Cabinet abandoned the plan to defeat the Chola Naval Division first, and instead wiped out the 100,000 Chola Army in the Katoha region first, since it marched by land to defeat the 20,000 Chola Naval Division on the west coast of the Chola Kingdom.

300,000 border guards, under the leadership of Zhou Dong, marched towards the city of Jiatuohe. The Jiatoha region was originally the land of the Three Buddhas, so the people were all interested in the Great Song army. In the eyes of the people of the Three Buddhas, the Great Song Army and the Three Buddhas Army were both imperial armies and the Buddha's army, so the war in the Jiatoha region actually became the Great Song Dynasty's local war.

With the support of the people, the Great Song Dynasty border guards, which had the advantage in terms of troops, won one victory after another. Faced with the absolute superiority of the imperial army in terms of strength, the Chola State was forced to switch from offensive to defensive.

"Newspaper. Some people said that the 100,000-strong army of the Chola Kingdom was advancing towards our army, and there were 10,000 war elephant soldiers. A scout who had returned from reconnaissance said.

"It seems that the Chola Kingdom does not want to be trapped in the city of Katoha, this is about to be a decisive battle. The order went down, set up a formation, and prepared to meet the enemy. Luo Hao, the commander of the border guards in the first town and the governor of the 300,000 border guards, said.

"Commander Luo Hao, you have exceeded your authority. I am the appeasement of 300,000 border guards. The order went down, and the army quickly marched out, with the cavalry in front, and quickly seized the Canaan Heights and prepared for a decisive battle. Zhou Dong replied unceremoniously.

Luo Hao's face turned blue and white for a while. When Zhou Dong first arrived at the fire cavalry, he was just a pawn under him. Now he is so faceless. Luo Hao began to complain in his heart: "Now the army of the Great Song Dynasty is either commanded by literati, or with such a ranger. What does this make the soldiers who were born in patriotic schools and have been training hard in the army? ”

However, the military order was issued. Luo Hao had no choice but to consider impeaching Zhou Dong afterwards. At this time, he couldn't help but cooperate with Zhou Dong, without his cooperation, Zhou Dong would have no way to mobilize and command the 300,000 army. The military system of the Great Song Dynasty has regulations, and when the battle is imminent, the supreme commander decides everything on the battlefield, and there is no room for negotiation at all. If he didn't listen to the order, Zhou Dong would have no way to deal with him now, but after the war, he would definitely be beheaded. The military discipline of the Great Song Dynasty is very strict, no matter who it is, all actions are under command.

After getting Luo Hao's cooperation, the military order was quickly issued and acted quickly. Goofy and 10,000 golden fire cavalry had already set out first to seize the Canaan Heights. In addition to the small number of engineer soldiers left behind to guard the camp, the 300,000 troops, except for the necessary weapons and equipment and other ordnance, all the other baggage was left, and the whole army marched towards the Canaan Heights.

Ten thousand war elephants rushed wildly, and the earth seemed to tremble. 10,000 golden fire cavalry rushed to the battlefield and launched an attack on the Zhuluo army, delaying the pace of the Zhuluo army and gaining time for the 300,000 Song border guards to come to the battlefield.

Moro, the general of the Chola Kingdom, sat on top of the elephant with a canopy, and looked at the feathered arrows fired by the golden fire cavalry with a smile on his face. These feathered arrows could not penetrate their heavy rattan armor and massive wooden shields, and the target soldiers were not at all threatening. He had already received the news that except for this one, there were only 30,000 cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest were foot soldiers, and the impact of the war horses could not be compared with the war elephants at all.

He also knew that the Great Song Dynasty had thunderbolts and rockets, and if the Great Song Dynasty still wanted to learn from Wang Xuance, he would definitely be defeated. The wood used to make rattan armor and wooden shields is a very dense seabed sunken wood, which can be fireproof and not easily penetrated. Empiricism is a common mistake that humans make. This is where his confidence lies in giving up jungle warfare and fighting a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty. The reason for the defeat of the sailor, that is, the empiricism, Xiao Yi is far from being a famous general who will go down in history, there is too little ink in his stomach, and he doesn't know anything about the tactics of the Zhu Luo Kingdom, and he doesn't know anything about the national characteristics of the people of the Zhu Luo Kingdom who have been good at climbing since childhood. At the same time, he also lacked the natural ability of the famous generals to adapt to changes, and there was no way to face the tactics of the Chola State, so he could only report to the military cabinet.

An army of 300,000 drove the horses and chariots and soon reached the Canaan Heights. The 10,000-character dragon flag flew, and a decisive battle broke out.

"Quick, assemble the pikeman." Zhou Tong ordered.

With Zhou Dong's order, tall chariots were assembled, and on them were rows of large spears three zhang long. Each chariot has three tiers of ten spears on each deck. In total, there were more than 10,000 of these tall chariots, which were much taller than war elephants.

After the chariot was assembled, the flag bearer waved the command flag, and the golden fire cavalry immediately withdrew from the battlefield. Ten soldiers got into the chariot and pushed it, and because of the terrain, the chariot got faster and faster, and rushed towards the elephants of Chola.
