The fire in the bay burned for two days before it gradually extinguished, but the Song army secretly landed in another small bay about thirty miles from the city of Morayu the night after the attack on the bay.

Under the cover of night, 20,000 troops quickly marched eastward and routed in one fell swoop the 5,000 soldiers guarding the harbor.

The 5,000 Saffwija soldiers never dreamed that the Song army would come from the west, and after leaving behind more than 2,000 corpses, they fled in panic to the capital several miles away.

The Song army was also reluctant to fight in the tropics, which meant that they had to dispose of the corpses immediately to prevent an epidemic.

They immediately burned the bodies and buried them deeply.

The city is about seven or eight miles away from the harbor, between the harbor and the capital is farmland, mainly cultivated rice, the population of the Srivijaya country is millions, just picking can not feed so many people, rice from the north has been cultivated here for thousands of years.

The rice had just been harvested, and the second season had not yet been planted, and the ground was relatively dry, barely able to carry out large-scale ground warfare.

Isn't the Srivijaya Kingdom known as an army of 200,000? The Song army only has 20,000 people, one out of ten, can they have the courage?

Of course, the Sriwijaya country did not have an army of 200,000, but they had an army of 80,000, of which 20,000 were sailors, and the other 10,000 were stationed on the island of Java, and nearly half of the navy had drowned, leaving only 60,000 troops in the capital.

But even if it is 60,000 troops, it is far greater than the 20,000 people of the Song army.

At the head of the city, King Zhanbei looked at the Song army seven miles away, and he found that the Song army was not as large as he imagined, and he was slightly relieved.

But when he thought of Fanning's harsh demands, he was indignant in his heart, and he compensated one million taels of gold, handed over all the pirates, ceded the peninsula, gave up the navy, and proton Tokyo, he couldn't do any of them.

Maybe bargaining, the first one he can pay 500,000 taels of gold, but 1 million taels of gold definitely can't.

Let a son go to the capital, maybe it is okay, he should go to the Song Dynasty to study.

As for the other three, he couldn't do it.

"General, are we going to attack?" He summoned the Lord General Tanjara and asked.

Tangara bowed, "Your Majesty, it is necessary to go to war, otherwise even if the Song army blockades our harbor, we will not be able to bear it, we must take advantage of them on land and defeat them in a battle, but we need to wait for the opportunity." ”

"What time does the general think is the most appropriate?"

Tagara looked at the sky and smiled: "Soon the sun will come out, it will be hot, they will not adapt to the heat here, and when they are too hot to have the strength after noon, we will definitely defeat them if we attack again." ”

Zhanbei nodded, he was still a veteran, and he knew how to make full use of the characteristics of the climate to torment these soldiers from cold places.

He immediately agreed: "It is under the full command of the general and decides!" ”

..........

The days in the tropics are indeed more tormenting, especially in the sun, soon, the Song soldiers were unbearably hot, sweating like water, and began to faint from heat stroke, dehydration, although there were soldiers transporting a large amount of light salt water and coconuts, but it was still to no avail, and the general Zhong Hui had to order the soldiers to temporarily take off their armor.

At this time, Fanning ordered a large number of plantain leaves, and used them as umbrellas to shield from the blazing sun, and finally barely managed to hold on.

By noon, the 20,000 soldiers of the Song army were dying of heat, suffering so much that they had no strength.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the Tagara at the head of the city immediately ordered the opening of the city, and he led 50,000 soldiers to kill it.

'Woo-' The horn of the Song army suddenly sounded, and the Song army lying on the ground fought their spirits, got up and put on their armor, and prepared to meet the battle.

Compared with the Luzon army, the army of Sriwijaya is indeed a lot stronger, at least much better equipped, most of their armor is imported from Persia and Dashi, mainly leather armor, weapons are spears and scimitars, but due to racial restrictions, the army of Sriwijaya is still the same as the army of Luzon, generally short.

Most of them had no shoes on, and they rushed madly towards the 20,000 Song troops with shouts.

The commander of the Song army was General Zuo Xiaowei and Zhong Hui, the commander of the naval army, who was promoted by Di Qing, who fought against the Western Xia army and then moved to the naval army, and was very good at both land and water combat.

Zhong Hui was not panicked, he shouted sharply: "The shield spear army is in formation, and the crossbow army is ready to shoot!" ”

The 5,000 Shield Spear Army immediately formed a long human wall, and then the 6,000 Crossbow Army stood behind the Shield Spear Army, ready to fire crossbow arrows at an oblique angle.

But as early as dawn, the Song army laid down the mechanism, and at this time, Zhong Hui saw that the army of the Three Buddhas had rushed to two hundred steps away, and he immediately ordered: "Ignite!" ”

Immediately, a soldier ignited the pre-planted oil oil, and the four lines of fire quickly burned towards the enemy, and in a moment they rushed into the enemy group, and the Sriwijaya soldiers scattered in fright.

At the same time, the Srivijaya army had also rushed into the range of the Song army's crossbow arrows, and a burst of bangs suddenly sounded, and the six thousand crossbow troops were launched at the same time, and a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky, shooting towards the Srivijaya soldiers like a storm.

The thousands of soldiers who rushed to the front couldn't dodge, and they fell to the ground with arrows, screaming, and this round of arrow rain killed and injured thousands of people, but this loss was still not worth mentioning for the 50,000 army, and the Srivijaya soldiers continued to rush towards the Song army.

The Sriwijaya soldiers at the front were only a hundred paces away from the Song army.

At this moment, there was a sudden fire in the crowd, and the fire oil field three hundred steps away from the Song army was finally ignited, and a wall of fire appeared one zhang wide and seven feet high, but the fire wall did not affect the Sriwijaya soldiers, as long as they ran fast, they basically couldn't burn the soldiers.

But the soldiers of the Song army squatted down one after another, covered their ears, and suddenly, fifty iron fire mines buried under the shallow soil were detonated one after another, earth-shattering explosions came and went, flames soared into the air, sand and soil flew, countless soldiers were blown up into the sky, and thick black smoke shrouded the battlefield,

The soldiers of the Song army had been trained, and they covered their ears and lay on the ground, but the sand and minced meat that flew from 300 paces away still fell.

Tens of thousands of Srivijaya soldiers knelt on the ground and screamed and screamed, frightened to the core, and in a moment, the explosion finally stopped, and the battlefield simply became a hell on earth, full of stumps and severed arms and blown heads, blood flowed into small rivers, tens of thousands of people were killed or shocked to death by shock waves, tens of thousands of people were deaf in both ears, and the soldiers who survived were almost frightened crazy, turned around and fled frantically in the direction of the capital, trampling on each other, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

This is the first time that the Song army's firearms were used in the South Seas to fight, two days ago a main ship was blown up, and today, fifty iron fire and thunder exploded at the same time, the huge lethality is still secondary, it brought a terrible psychological impact to the whole country of the Three Buddhas, the city head, including the king, ministers, merchants, monks, everyone knelt down, they thought that this was the Song army used the artifact, only the heavenly realm has a magic weapon.

The Song army did not pursue, their morale was greatly boosted, and after half an hour, 20,000 soldiers came to the city, and Fanning also arrived in person.

A letter was shot at the head of the city, and Fanning ordered them to surrender immediately, unconditionally accept the five demands made by the Song army, and at the same time increase the amount of gold to two million taels, otherwise the Song army would enter the city without leaving any chickens and dogs.

The whole country of Srivijaya was frightened, the city gate was opened, and a group of officials and merchants went out of the city, and this was the king of Srivijaya who went out of the city and surrendered.

They could not resist the terrible firearms of the Song army, let alone bear the consequences of destroying the country, so they could only surrender and unconditionally accept the five demands put forward by the Song army.

The Song army cleared the weapons of the Srivijaya army, disbanded the army, confiscated the treasury and the treasury of the richest man of merchants, and obtained a large amount of gold treasures.

Two days later, the Srivijaya and the Song army signed a land transfer agreement, ceding the peninsula across the strait to the Song dynasty, promising to abandon the navy and abolish all regulations that discriminated against the Song merchants.

King Zhanbei agreed to send his young son to study in Tokyo.

As for war reparations, the Song army confiscated 2.4 million taels of gold from the state treasury and the treasury of the big merchant Pu, as well as countless treasures such as pearls, precious stones, and corals.

In order to make up for the loss of the treasury, he ordered the confiscation of the mansion of Pu Wenda, the chief general of the navy, and the mansion of thirteen great merchants, and obtained nearly one million taels of gold, barely maintaining the foundation of the kingdom.

But this war has greatly weakened the vitality of the Sriwijaya country, cut off the opportunity for the Sriwijaya merchants to obtain huge profits, resulting in its national strength collapsed, seventy years later, the Sriwijaya Kingdom broke out of the civil war, divided into several countries, but finally by the Great Song Dynasty Nanyang Commander Fan Wenmao eliminated one by one, the establishment of Nanping Mansion, at this time the Nanyang provinces of the Song people have reached three million people.
