readx; Li Fei Yuanli's voice was fierce and vicious, scared Lin You's legs trembling, he realized that he had fallen into a big disaster, this army is not a division of elegance and etiquette, but a division of tigers and wolves, he trembled and told Prince Dando about the threat of Li Fei Yuanli, Prince Dando stood for a long time before saying: "Please wait a while, general, I will go back to discuss, and then give the general an answer!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he went back with his entourage dejectedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Looking at the prince walking away, Li Fei Yuanli waved his hand slightly, and several soldiers ran to the south seventy paces away, nailed a wooden stake into the beach, and fixed an Arab leather armor and a shield on the stake, this is a soldier bought armor in a shop in the city, and it is also the standard equipment of the Buddha's [***] team, this country does not have the technology to build armor, and the shrewd Arab merchants sold them this leather armor, which is the equipment left by the white-clothed Great Food, and there is a large backlog in the Great Food warehouse, which is made of cowhide and tied behind the back with a belt, It is the oldest single-layer leather armor of the Arabs.

The Great Eclipse who fought against the Anxi Army had been replaced with more advanced three-layer leather armor, and the shields were also covered with iron sheets, which was a technological progress forced out by the powerful crossbow arrows of the Tang Army, and the equipment they eliminated was bought by merchants and sold to the armies in more backward areas.

The Buddha bought 30,000 sets of these old-fashioned leather armors and wooden shields from Arab merchants.

This kind of old-fashioned leather armor and shield Tang army is very familiar with, in the battle of Talas, the big food army is equipped with this kind of leather armor and wooden shield, the Tang army has conducted in-depth research, they know that the most advanced Arab leather armor to the Tang army's crossbow arrow defense is seventy steps, within seventy steps, the leather armor will lose its defensive effect, if they add the iron and wooden shield they use, then forty steps of defense, that is to say, the most powerful crossbow of the Tang army within forty steps, can continuously penetrate the most advanced three layers of leather armor and shield of the Arabs.

And what they were facing today was the wooden escape of the old-fashioned leather armor, so the distance of this continuous piercing should be sixty steps.

Li Fei Yuanli was about to demonstrate in front of the soldiers, the leather armor and shield had been hung, and the two crossbowmen with the divine arm riding crossbows retreated to sixty paces away, knelt down on one knee, raised the crossbow arrows and aimed at the target sixty paces away, the shields and leather armor were stacked, that is, they were going to pierce them with an arrow.

'Click! Click! With the sound of two crossbow machines, I saw two powerful crossbow arrows whistling past in front of the Tang army, hitting the target one after another, only to hear two muffled sounds, both arrows successively pierced through the wooden shield and leather armor, and the arrows continued to fly out more than 20 steps before stopping.

Needless to say, all the soldiers saw it, in fact, the lethality was more than sixty steps, it should be seventy steps away, and the crossbow arrows of the Tang army would have a lethal effect.

With a wave of his hand, he said loudly to the soldiers: "Everyone has seen that I, Lifei Yuanli, will never fight an uncertain battle, and in today's battle, we will win the victory with the smallest casualties in the history of the Anxi army." ”

"General Lifei!"

Wei Qingping's shout came from afar, and he saw two of his subordinates running towards him with him, Li Fei Yuanli had a headache, he didn't worry about anything else, but this civil official was too mother-in-law.

Wei Qingping ran over, he saw that the Tang soldiers were fully armed, and it seemed that they were preparing for battle, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly walked up to Li Fei Yuanli and asked, "General, what are you going to do here?" ”

"I want justice and an account for the wounded brother!" Li Fei Yuanli said coldly.

Wei Qingping sighed, "General, why bother? The dignified state of the Celestial Empire is generally concerned with a Nanyang island country, is this a bit of a ** share. ”

"Identity?"

Li Fei Yuanli sneered, "I'm not the kind of person who wants to save face, I don't care if the other party is a small country or a big country, since I killed and injured my people, then I have revenge and kindness, I'm sorry Mr. Wei, your kind of Shangbang theory has no effect on me." ”

"You ......" Wei Qingping pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't say a word, he said with a blushing face: "If you dare to massacre civilians and kill innocents indiscriminately, I will impeach you to the general." ”

"Mr. Wei, you think too much, did I say that I was going to massacre civilians? I'm just going to teach these clowns a lesson, and let them know what the might of the Celestial Empire is! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a drumming drum in the city of Foley, the drum was getting more and more urgent, this is the sound of war drums, the army of Sri Buddha is going to fight with the Tang army, this drum makes the spirit of the Tang army lift, Li Fei Yuanli is even more excited and laughs, is worried that they will not come! And they came to the door.

Wei Qingping was also stunned, what is going on? Do they really want to fight against the Tang Army beyond their means?

Li Fei Yuanli smiled, "Mr. Wei, please go back first, there are no eyes on the battlefield with swords and arrows, someone is coming!" Send Mr. Wei back to the ship! ”

The two soldiers sent Wei Qingping back to the big ship, Wei Qingping was worried, they were going to Xinde, why did they start a war with the island country in the South Seas?

Li Fei Yuanli turned around and shouted: "Brothers, have you heard, this is a desert island barbarian challenging my Tang Empire, then let them understand the heavenly power of my Tang Empire!" Brothers, pick up your swords and arrows and raise the might of our Anxi army! ”

The short and powerful words made the soldiers' blood boil, the sense of honor of fighting for the Tang Empire in a foreign country was born in their hearts, and the pride of being a soldier of the Tang Empire made them can't help waving their hands and shouting, "Fight for the honor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Fight for the might of the Anxi army!"

Li Fei Yuanli raised the horn and blew it vigorously, "Woo-" The low sound of the horn was drifting on the island with the sea breeze, and the twenty trumpeters also blew the horn together, and the horn sounded throughout the island.

With a wave of his hand, the two hundred cavalry quickly hid in the coconut grove next to the beach.

At this time, the gate of the city of Forlì was opened, and a group of soldiers of the Buddha who died in Arabic leather armor went out of the city, they held spears and shields, black and black, dense, there were as many as 10,000 people, there were 20,000 troops in the Buddha country, including 10,000 people stationed in the capital, it was led by the emperor's uncle Sultan, and the toughness of the Tang army gave the Sultan the upper hand to the main battle faction, and they were impatient to fight.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, but a full moon shines on the sea and land, the heaven and earth shine as day, before the introduction of Buddhism, the Buddha passed away like the primitive witchcraft, his king called himself the dragon spirit, like to absorb the essence of the moon on a moonlit night, this belief in the moon makes them think that the moon will give them strength, although Buddhism has been introduced, but they still have a superstition about the moon in their bones, and at the same time their army tries to avoid the heat of the day and choose to train at night, which makes them have the tradition of night fighting, They thought it would be better to fight at night to their advantage.

In fact, there is only one advantage of the Buddha's death, that is, there are more people, five times that of the Tang army, in terms of armor, they do not have the Mingguang armor of the Tang army, only the leather armor sold to them by the Arabs, in terms of equipment, they only have ordinary spears, as well as wooden shields, and the rudimentary primitive bows and arrows are also discarded, they do not have the powerful composite bows of the Tang army, let alone crossbow arrows, no horizontal swords, no cavalry of the Tang army, on combat power, they fought with the wolf cultivators when they occupied Bangka Island and expanded northward, and their opponents today, The two thousand troops under Li Fei Yuanli are out-and-out Anxi troops, who have been through a hundred battles and were born in blood, and their height is generally a head taller than that of the Buddha.

The Buddha died only in large numbers, and for many years he had a sense of superiority in the Nanyang states, and when they encountered the more powerful Tang Dynasty, they gave birth to a complex island mentality of inferiority, jealousy, and hatred, which lasted for thousands of years, until their children and grandchildren.

When the Tang army offended his beloved concubine slightly, he immediately ordered the Tang soldiers to be cut down, and from that moment on, he was determined to teach the Tang army a good lesson and annihilate this uninvited Tang army.

The wide beach outside the city has become a battlefield, and the 10,000 Buddha [***] teams have been lined up neatly, they train every day, and they are arranged quite neatly on the beach, and the 10,000 people who are black and oppressed form a long phalanx, and the spears are as dense as a forest, and under the moonlight, they also look quite murderous.

This made the king who was watching the battle in the city also breathe a sigh of relief, maybe they could defeat this Tang army, he couldn't help sighing, I hope this battle will not become the beginning of the misfortune of the Buddha's country.

"Father, I don't think it's good!" Prince Dando looked very nervous, he was looking at the Tang army, he found that the formation of the Tang army was a little strange, it turned out to be a crescent moon, the Tang army was much smaller in number, and after arranging in a crescent shape, it seemed that they only had a small group, as if they could be surrounded and annihilated in one fell swoop, but it was just like this, he felt that the Tang army was weird and mysterious, which made him a little scared.

"What's wrong?"

King Superior was a little dissatisfied with his son's fuss, "I think our advantage is obvious, our army is obviously much more than the Tang army, don't you see?" As long as we form an encirclement of the Tang army, with our dense spear formation, we can completely annihilate the Tang army, now you should think about how we should explain this incident to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Dando sighed, "Let's talk about it after the battle!" ”

The stubbornness of his father and uncle made the young prince feel hopeless, and they were not facing the local army of the Tang army, but the battle-hardened army of the Tang army, which he felt when he first saw Li Fei Yuanli.

On the wide beach, 1,800 Tang troops lined up into a glaive array, which is a crossbow formation in which the Tang army exerts the advantage of strong crossbows, with three shots in the middle of the dense number, two shots on both wings, and ordinary shots on both sides.

Not only did he use a strong crossbow, but Lychee Yuanli also buried 200 cavalry as ambush soldiers, and he found that the dense coconut grove in the south was simply a natural ambush ground.

The battlefield is a beach one mile wide and more than ten miles long, the two armies are four hundred steps apart, under the moonlight, they lined up in formation, the Tang army did not move, they waited for the other party's morale to subside, and waited for the other party to take the initiative to attack after they couldn't stand it, which was actually the same as the wolf pack tactics adopted by Li Baozhen in Yangang, this is a kind of willpower contest, it depends on who can hold out to the end.

However, the Buddha [***] team obviously had no intention of fighting with the Tang army, and they did not have crossbowmen waiting for the Tang army to charge forward, their tactic was to use high morale and absolute superiority in numbers to break the opponent's formation in one fell swoop, and then surround the opponent and quickly annihilate the opponent.

This is also the consistent way of fighting of the island countries in the South Seas, their endurance is far less long than that of the soldiers in the northern alpine region, and their physical strength is not exhausted, but their explosive power is good, so they are not used to long-term fierce battles, and they all advocate ending the war in the shortest time and relying on impact to destroy the other side.

Today is no exception.

'Knock-knock-knock! The sound of the war drums sounded again, this is a kind of wooden drum, the drum sound is urgent, it makes people nervous, it makes people impulsive, accompanied by a shout of killing, 10,000 soldiers rushed towards the camp of the Tang army, the speed is very fast, the explosive power is indeed very strong, at the head of the city, King Supili can not help but be impressed by the powerful power of his own soldiers.

Their domination of the islands of the South Seas relied on their strong military strength, their soldiers trained every day, and the strength they burst out when they attacked was enough to make any opponent fearful, and he was very satisfied, and today seemed to be better than usual.

He sighed softly, "Lack of greed, this is the reason for the failure of the Tang Army, why don't you accept my sincerity?" ”

Prince Danli's eyes were still very nervous, he heard the translator Lin You say that the bow and arrow of the Tang Army are very powerful, but to what extent? No one knows, obviously, the Tang army is going to use bows and arrows, can their leather armor and shields block it?

Four hundred paces, that is, more than a mile, ten thousand Buddhas [***] rushed like a tidal wave, the spears were dense like a forest, they were like the tides of the moon's gravity, rushing and rolling in the moonlight, especially magnificent, the sultan was in the middle of the team, he was on a horse, ten thousand troops, he was the only one on horseback, he held up his sword and shouted, "Kill!" ”

His white hair fluttered in the moonlight, and he was extremely emotional, "Kill a Tang army, and reward ten taels of gold!" ”

Inspired by the heavy reward, the 10,000 troops became even more frenzied, and in an instant they rushed a hundred paces away, and in the moonlight, they could already see their swarthy faces and the hideous smiles on their faces.

The formation of the Tang army is still as dignified as Mount Tai, 1,800 crossbow arrows are aimed at the enemy army rushing like a frenzy, seventy steps, this has entered the killing range, but there is no military order, no one dares to launch, sixty steps, the Tang army is still motionless, the sharp eyes of the Tang soldiers are staring at the throat and chest of the enemy, fifty steps, they can already clearly hear the sound of running and shouting, but Li Fei Yuanli's military order is still not given.

Li Fei Yuanli made a bet, and he found that these soldiers did not block their bodies at all when they held shields, nor did they subconsciously cover their companions, indicating that they had no experience in fighting with strong bows and crossbows.

Soon, the shield gradually became a burden to them, the army between the island countries fighting, the bow and arrow were not used much, their training and actual combat were two-handed spears, and now they can only hold spears with one hand, which seriously affects the impact effect of their two-handed spears, and does not conform to their combat habits.

At sixty paces, many soldiers had already thrown away their shields and instead charged at the Tang army with spears in both hands.

This made Li Fei Yuanli feel incredible, did they think that the leather armor on their bodies could block the powerful crossbow arrows of the Tang Army?

In fact, more and more soldiers threw away their shields and held spears with both hands, forty steps, nearly half of the soldiers had already thrown away their shields, thirty steps, eighty percent of the soldiers lost their shields, the time had come, Li Fei Yuanli waved his hand violently.

"Shoot!"

'Click! A crisp sound of crossbow machine sounded, the first round of a thousand arrows whistled away, the distance was so close, the force was so strong, in the blink of an eye, only twenty-five or six paces away a scream, hundreds of people fell to the ground, and then the second round of eight hundred arrows were shot, and a large number of soldiers fell from the arrows, and the distance between the two armies retreated to thirty-five paces, at this time the first round of soldiers loaded with crossbow arrows, without the order to raise the crossbow to shoot, loaded arrows, pulled strings, raised crossbows, shot, in one go, the arrows were like flying locusts, urgent as dense rain......

In the time of running ten paces, the Tang army has shot more than 3,500 arrows in two rounds, and nearly 2,000 people have fallen by arrows in the enemy army, and the running tide is like being buried by a toppled mountain, and the distance between them and the Tang army has been extended to fifty paces, the speed has slowed down, and the impact of the Buddha's death [***] has begun to weaken significantly.

The soldiers in front were so frightened that they stopped one after another, while the soldiers behind did not know the situation and were still ignorant of the charge.

But the Tang army was still shooting mercilessly, the sound of crossbow machines rang out one after another, the overwhelming arrows flew in the air, which had already covered the moonlight, and the pungent bloody gas filled the beach, and everywhere was the desperate groans of the undead who were hit by the arrows.

'When! While! The hasty withdrawal order sounded, but the Buddha died [***] too far forward, it was not easy to withdraw the army, the arrows were still shooting a large number of enemy troops, the Tang army ran in pursuit, shot in the back with buttocks, the Arab leather armor was tied behind them with straps, and when they turned and fled, their backs became empty.

The Tang army has fired nearly 10,000 arrows in six rounds, and the casualties of the Buddha [***] team have exceeded 5,000, which means that almost everyone has someone next to him who has fallen from an arrow.

The powerful crossbow arrows of the Tang army had destroyed the morale of the Buddha's [***] team, the army had completely collapsed, and every soldier was frightened, they dropped their spears, shouted in terror, and ran back for their lives, and the beach was full of small black dots running densely, each running faster than the other.

On the city wall, Prince Dando squatted down with his head in pain, he knew that this would be the result, their soldiers couldn't even beat the Arab merchants, how could they confront the Tang army? Isn't this self-defeating?

King Superior was stunned, his mind went blank, and he felt that his kingdom was about to end.

At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the coconut grove, wielding a horizontal knife, like a storm swept in, they cut off the retreat of the Buddha [***], the cavalry team rushed into the crowd and wantonly slashed, like a tiger into the flock, set off a bloody storm in the moonlight, Uncle Wang Sultan Li rode on a horse, very eye-catching, he became the first object of the Tang cavalry hunting, more than a hundred arrows were shot, Sultanli was shot like a hedgehog, and the body was planted from the horse.

The cavalry of the Don army galloped and intercepted the deserters, and every deserter who tried to break out of their blockade line was killed without hesitation.

The cavalry of the Don Army shouted in the newly learned native language: "Surrender!" Surrender! ”

There are interceptions in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, the soldiers are cornered, they are frightened, they have knelt on the ground, raised their hands to surrender, knelt down and surrendered, the Tang army will no longer kill, this demonstration effect has expanded rapidly, kneeling, more and more soldiers kneeling, raising their hands to surrender, and finally all kneeling to surrender, a total of more than 4,000 people were captured.

In this battle, the 10,000 troops of the Buddha Lost Kingdom were annihilated by the powerful crossbow array of the Tang Army, while the Anxi Army created a brilliant record of not killing a single person and not wounding a single person, but this battle was finally concealed by Li Fei Yuanli begging Li Qing'an, for only one reason, to bully the weak with the strong and win without force.

When the Tang army approached the city, Su Pili and Prince Dando led nearly 100 officials to kneel at the gate of the city, each of them naked, at this time, they were fish on the chopping board, and they were slaughtered by the Tang army.

Li Fei Yuanli took five or six officers to urge the horse to Su Pilley, and looked at the fat king coldly, Su Pilli was so frightened that he raised the golden key of the treasury high and shouted in his not very proficient Chinese: "My country, let the Tang army take it, and General Wanwang will keep the surname of a untouchable person in a country." ”

Li Fei Yuanli turned around and smiled with a few generals, he is not a benevolent and righteous army, how can he not want this kind of pie in the world? It is said that gold and precious stones are abundant here, which he could not ask for, but Li Fei Yuanli also knew that most of his wealth had to be dedicated to the imperial court.

"I want one thing but the wealth in the treasury."

Su Pili had spent several years in Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty and knew a little Chinese, he understood the meaning of the Tang army's commander-in-chief, and hurriedly said: "As long as our country is owned, the general can take it!" “

"Good! I want the Buddha to build a supply military city for the Tang Dynasty at the entrance and exit of the Malacca Strait, you must provide food in all seasons, and the military city is within 100 miles of the Tang Dynasty. ”

This condition was not thought of by Li Fei Yuanli himself, but was instigated by the Sogdian merchants, who had served as the governor of Hezhong and had excellent relations with the Sogdians.

These Sogdian merchants are very shrewd, the route from the Tang Dynasty to Sindh is too long, there is no transit station after passing through the Lion Kingdom (Sri Lanka), they often suffer for no supplies, and there are pirates in the Strait of Malacca, if the Tang army can garrison troops in the Strait of Malacca, it will be a great blessing for them, so when the Tang army defeated the Buddha and died in the country, they immediately found Li Fei Yuanli, instigated him to put forward this condition, and poured him a puzzle soup, what opened up territory for the Tang Dynasty, the merit is in the future.

In fact, Li Fei Yuanli only wanted the treasury of the Buddha's death country and the concubine of the prince's uncle, it is said that she was the first beauty of the Buddha's death country, but Li Fei Yuanli also suffered from the bumps on the sea, when the Sogdian merchants made this request, and they poured a puzzle soup, he readily agreed, and established two supply military cities in the Strait of Malacca, leaving 250 soldiers to garrison each.

The merchants were overjoyed and impatiently drew him a sketch of where it would be most advantageous to build a supply military city, and these merchants considered the problem most realistically and very shrewdly, and they chose two places, which are the two famous ports today, one is the location of the port of Medan on the west side of the strait, and the other is the location of the port of Singapore on the east side of the strait.

Taking the advice of the merchants, he handed the map to Superior, "The two places marked are where I want to build the city." ”

Su Pili trembled and took a look, but he was a little stunned, the land to the west is his territory, basically not used, it can be assigned to the Tang Dynasty to build a military city, but the other place is not his land, but the land of the wolf cultivation country, he suddenly had a thought in his heart, why not take the opportunity to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to weaken the wolf cultivation country?

He immediately agreed, "I will immediately organize manpower to repair the city for Datang, and I will never dare to delay!" ”

Li Fei Yuanli was quite satisfied with his attitude, and he smiled, "In addition, I personally have a small request. ”

．．．．．．．．

Five days later, the Tang fleet left Forlì Harbor and continued to sail westward, Li Fei Yuanli left Lang General Zhou Pijiang and 500 soldiers stationed in Nanyang, and Sri Buddha organized 10,000 people to build a city for the Tang army at the eastern end of the Strait of Malacca, five months later, the first military city of the Tang Army in the Strait of Malacca, Qing'an City, was completed, and a year later, the second military city located at the western end of the strait, Nan'an City, was also completed.

Later, with the increasing number of domestic immigrants, twenty years later, Qing'an City was officially upgraded to Qing'an County, in order to distinguish it from Qing'an County of broken leaves, the Tang people called it South Qing'an County, and five years later, Nan'an City was also upgraded to a county and renamed Yuanli County.
