Drive the people to bear the soil, fill the trenches and siege the city!

This is the method used by the Mongolians, and now it is used by Chen Huaiqing, who worships Confucianism and believes in Buddhism, without hesitation.

In fact, the Ming army was not without other ways to attack the city, such as bombarding it with artillery...... However, there are not many cannons in Chen Huaiqing's Fu Wang army, and there are only six artillery companies and 36 3-inch cannons, all of which were bought by the old man with loans, which are precious! This cannon has a useful life, and the price of H medicine is expensive, so you have to save some use. If you can fill it with human life (Javanese life), don't use cannons.

Moreover, there is another advantage of filling with human life, which is deterrence! Although Chen Huaiqing never said that he wanted to kill anyone and kill whom, he really acted much more ruthlessly than his son!

On the island of Java, if the army does not surrender after attacking the city for three days, after the city is broken, the army will wash the city.

More than a dozen Han Chinese, who were doing business in Nanfan, loudly issued an order to the captured natives: "Everyone has a bag of soil and goes to fill the moat!" Throw three bags of soil, and I will surround your life and let you go home! After three breaths, the army will slay those who cannot enter! ”

After the Han Chinese gave the order, they all pointed to the front, where there were many plantain leaves piled up - the Javanese indigenous men were shirtless, and the women did not have much clothes on them, so there was not enough to carry the soil, but fortunately there were plantain trees everywhere.

At the same time as the messenger gave the order, a steel-armored soldier with a knife stepped forward and cut the ropes tied to the natives' bodies - each native's neck was tied with straw ropes, and dozens of people tied them in a string.

Then the generalists raised their arms and stretched out their hands, holding up three fingers. But in the blink of an eye. The three fingers are bent down one after the other.

Splash Lee had already dragged his tired body and lowered the spear flat. and dozens of comrades lined up behind these natives. When the generalists had counted three times, the spears began to stab forward indiscriminately.

Bloodsplatter. The cries of the natives rang out earth-shatteringly. Driven by the desire to survive, these natives, who walked on a rope for two or three days without eating anything, tried their last strength to crawl forward with the banana leaves in front of them. Everyone grabbed a leaf and wrapped the dirt on the ground desperately. I don't know how many people dug their hands bloody under this huge fear, for fear that if they move slowly, they will be stabbed to death from behind by those unreasonable iron soldiers!

Then the men wept and poured into the walls. Hoarse shouts joined in one. Splashy Li couldn't understand what they were howling, so he thought he was begging for mercy from the people on the city wall, right? But how could the defenders of the city pay attention? As soon as the natives approached, the arrows rained down......

……

The native Javanese filled the moats with earth, crying and forming a wave of people, rushing towards the walls of the tall city of Majapahit.

On each side of them was a phalanx of sword and shield soldiers, sandwiching the natives in the middle, advancing together. The soldiers who formed the phalanx were all steel-armored soldiers, and Lai Toad was among them. He used to be a pikeman, but now the natives of Java have no cavalry, and their infantry have no long-handled weapons, mostly shields and Paran machetes. So there is not much room for pikemen to play. The toad received a square rattan shield and became a sword and shield soldier (he originally had a large horizontal knife, which was standard).

But it's not an easy job to be a sword and shield soldier - is it easy to be a conqueror? Dream on! Conqueror. It's a tiring and dangerous job.

The tinkling sound rang in the ears of the toad, the sound of Javanese arrows hitting steel armor. The toad knew the upper part of his helmet and cuirass at this moment. There must have been sparks. However, there will be no substantial harm, the Javanese bow is too soft. It is inferior to the hunting bow used by the people in the Ming Dynasty, which can only kill and injure unarmored targets, and does not pose any threat to steel armor.

"It's good they don't have a three-bow bed crossbow!" The toad muttered, and hurriedly raised his shield to protect his black face, and the steps under his feet did not stop, and with the rhythm of the drum, he covered his head and panted forward.

He was a little tired, but he was better than Pi Li, and he had only been out of battle six times during the day in the past few days, and then he could go back to the camp to take a hot bath and lie down to rest - because he was fighting in a plagued land, King Fu's army was strictly enforcing the Ming army's "Epidemic Prevention Regulations", taking hot baths, boiling them in hot water, not drinking raw water, and not eating raw food. Violators will be whipped, and Lai Toad and Splash Li have both been beaten for drinking raw water and eating raw food, which is really aggrieved. But now it's wartime, and any bitterness and grievances are swallowed in the belly.

The officers above all said: If you want to be a master, you have to endure hardships first, and when you win Tianzhu, everyone will be a master!

The sound of screams, wails, or curses and curses rang in the ears of the future lord, the Brahmin Lai Toad. The clusters of arrows shot from the city walls did not spare these natives either. Arrows rained down, and countless natives, shirtless or ragged, with fearful faces splashed with countless blood splashes. Then he fell hard under the walls. But the natives behind were still numb and rolling forward, falling and getting up, wailing, crying, struggling forward, desperately facing this round after round of arrows - it was not easy to survive these three deaths!

The Javanese who were forced to attack the city died in large numbers, but the toad did not bother to look at them. During his days of fighting on the island of Java, he had seen too many natives die. He has killed a few of them himself, and when he killed for the first time, he was still a little afraid, and he had nightmares at night, but he got used to it after killing more.

His blood is getting colder and colder.

Woowoo......

Suddenly, the trumpets of the early warning sounded, and then the officers shouted hoarsely: "Stop advancing!" Queue up! Prepare for battle! ”

Lai Toad suddenly shook his spirit, and his whole body became energetic, and he poked out half of his head from behind the shield and glanced forward. It turned out that a gate of the city of Majapahit had been opened.

It seems that the Javanese defending the city were enraged by the invaders' behavior of driving the civilians to fill in the trenches, and they wanted to go out of the city to fight, what a fool!

……

Under a banner with the word "Fu", Chen Huaiqing sat on a Hu bed and looked at the Majapahit City in the distance. The old man seems to have suffered a lot these days, he has lost a lot of weight, his skin has tanned, his face is covered with beads of sweat, and he can't stop dripping down his beard. He still has a banana fan in his hand, but he forgot to fan it to drive away some of the heat.

Chen Dexing's father, to be honest, lived for more than 50 years, although his career was not smooth in his early years, he did not suffer any hardships after all...... That is, when I practiced martial arts when I was a child, I was a little harder, but it was bitter at the beginning, and then I became addicted to practice, so I naturally didn't feel bitter. But this expedition to the south really endured a lot of hardship.

First, I fainted all the way to the boat, couldn't eat anything, and vomited several times, almost losing my life at sea. When I went ashore, I thought that as soon as the soldiers arrived, the barbarians would look at the wind and surrender. Who knew that these Javanese barbarians were simply stubborn, and the island was full of fortified cities. Although these fortified cities are not difficult to breach, they are always time-consuming and labor-intensive. Dozens of cities have been defeated, and I really don't know that it will take until the Year of the Monkey to level this hot Java Island!

If there is another epidemic in the army in this process, it will really kill people.

"I don't know what the picture is? The son is the emperor, let go of the good blessings, a handful of old bones and thousands of miles of expedition, if he dies on the battlefield, he will have to let Jia Rudao die in the sky! ”

Chen Huaiqing complained in his heart, and he seemed to regret it now. What kind of blessed king, there is no happiness at all, a lot of age was fooled by his son to go abroad to fight, and the military expenses are still borrowed, and it is almost the same to be replaced by the bitter king! Moreover, we can't complain about it, otherwise no one in those feudal towns in the country will be willing to come out.

What a tooth and blood to swallow!

At this moment, a general beside the "bitter king" Chen Huaiqing suddenly pointed forward and shouted, "King, the barbarian went out of the city to fight with us!" ”

"What!? Do you really want to be a barbarian who is not afraid of death? ”

Chen Huaiqing jumped up from the bed and raised his binoculars to look ahead.

Sure enough, the city gates were wide open, and the Javanese soldiers, who were so poor that they didn't even have clothes, were pouring out in a hurry. It's pitiful to look at, obviously you can't beat it, you can't be a slave honestly, what's the resistance?

"That's not right!" Chen Huaiqing suddenly shouted, "That...... Is that an elephant? The barbarians have elephant soldiers! Order, let the pikemen go up, form a phalanx, and stop the elephants at any cost! Let the artillerymen bring three-bow bed crossbows and heavenly thunder arrows! ”

"Pikemen, formation!"

"Pikemen, company phalanx!"

Before Chen Huaiqing's order was delivered, the officers of the Fuwang Army, who were supervising the battle on the front line, had already ordered the pikemen to go up and carry the elephants.

"It's really hard!" Seeing dozens of elephants rushing out of the city, Popi Li was about to stand unsteadily, and his heart was even more bitter. Such a big elephant can be stabbed to death with a spear in his hand? Alas, I should have known that I shouldn't have signed up for the Blessing Army with Lai Toad!

No, you shouldn't have joined the army at all!

"Li Sanfa! Not in place yet? Stupid? ”

The company commander's shouting and scolding rang out, and Li was trembling, and the whole person was in good spirits. His company commander was an old soldier of the Ming army, who was so fierce that he beat people at every turn. Even the little soldiers in it were not beaten, and he was hung up and beaten by splashing his skin!

Compared to elephants, this one is much more terrifying!

Poppy Lee, along with a hundred or so other pikemen who were afraid that the company would outnumber the elephants, had no choice but to form a six-column phalanx on the battlefield. Splash Lee was unfortunate enough to stand in the first row (each shift took turns to stand in the front row, and this time it was Splash Lee's turn and the other class were unlucky). Splash Lee had just stood up and leveled the spear in his hand, when his frightened roar rang out again.

"Tenth Spear Company, forward! Target, elephant on the right! Kill! (To be continued......)
