Zhang Youde made all the preparations, and the supplies on the ship were all moved, seven or eight British warships flying the rice flag arrived here recklessly, the sudden arrival of the British made the fleet of the Nanyang Naval Division on alert at once, the whole Ceylon Island is divided into two parts, the east is the Ming occupation zone, the west is the British occupation zone, the British have always regarded this first colony connecting the Far East as a treasure, and West Ceylon Island obviously did not disappoint the British, hesitate to be very close to the Ming Dynasty, The British obtained many benefits that European countries did not have in their trade with the Ming Dynasty, and the warships ordered by the British from the Ming Dynasty could also be traded through this island, and even this was the main battlefield far from Europe, and the British even planned to train a new army here, prepare for a rainy day, and be ready to pull the new army to Europe when the war was lost, so as to turn things around.

Of course, this idea is not very practical, but it is not a way, the British Governor of Ceylon, Johnson, came with a fleet at this time, the first is naturally to maintain the traditional friendship with the Ming, plus the Ming army sent such a large fleet without warning and the army participated in this operation against the Indians, which also made Johnson feel that the goddess who held the wealth was waving at him, this was an excellent opportunity, and without delay, Johnson immediately moved the order of the coordinated battle, The poor British fleet rushed to the scene, and on the other hand, they hurriedly sent a note to Li Dingguo, agreeing to participate in this military operation.

Li Dingguo did not object to this ally who came in a hurry, after all, when you want to start a war against a big country, a stunned man suddenly ran out to give you a hand, Li Dingguo naturally will not object, although he is not optimistic about the strength of the British, but people even brought dry food, there will be no drag on the Ming army, so what else is there to say?

Johansen turned into the commander of the British regiment of the expeditionary force, and thousands of British soldiers arrived here, and after making contact with Liu Er, the commander of the Nanyang naval division, and showing the order of the chief of the general staff of Li Dingguo, they immediately began to land.

"Your Excellency, General, I heard that your country won a victory here not long ago." After landing on the shore, Han Sen immediately made an appointment with Zhang Youde, I have to say that Han Sen's Chinese is now very fluent, after all, his main job is to contact with the Ming Dynasty, Chinese is a necessary language, in the past two years he has often dealt with Han officials, and usually studied hard, although now although it is not possible, there is no problem with ordinary dialogue and exchange.

Zhang Youde has always been a person who doesn't hit a smiling face, and when he met the other party, he took the initiative to talk to him and was introduced by Chief of Staff Li, so he didn't show his face to the other party: "You came just in time for the army to come out immediately, is the general dividing his troops to fight separately or acting together?" ”

Johansen is not an idiot, there are only 3,000 people under him, and the weapons and equipment are one grade behind the Ming army, he originally came to see if there was any oil to rub, naturally safety first, and hurriedly said: "We are willing to act with the general." ”

Zhang Youde nodded, but he felt that these golden-eyed foreigners were purely dragging oil bottles, but since they were dead and wanted to fight together, Zhang Youde naturally had nothing to say, after all, the princess of the family was also the princess of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not good to tear her face.

Zhang Youde put the British army behind; , let them protect the artillery battalion of the Ming army, and then began to pull out the camp, at this time, a scout hurriedly flew over, panting for breath, and said: "Lord Governor, there are barbarians who have killed them, and there are people everywhere in the mountains. ”

Zhang De's spirits were lifted, he couldn't imagine that these Indian barbarians still had the courage to kill, and immediately asked: "How many people are on the other side?" ”

"All over the mountains. There is no end in sight. The small number of people does not come. At least 100,000 or more. ”

Zhang De's expression was solemn: "Order." Form a defensive formation. Be ready for battle.

”

Rama Sejam sat comfortably on a giant elephant with a canopy on top. The giant elephant hissed and slowly stepped forward. Around the land of the princes. Armor flows. With the pace of the giant elephant surging forward. Rama Sejam was naturally very proud at this time. To know. Just yesterday. The giant elephant under the seat is still the elder brother's mount. But now. Everything belongs to him.

"Forward." Rama Sejam's cheerful voice urged his men forward. What is the Ming army? I've heard that it's only 30,000 people. Pandit's stupid ground fight, I really don't know how to fight the ground. Maybe it's Lord Shiva who favors him. Is it destined to give me this opportunity? Gain the trust of the father. Take the throne?

King Sunk was indeed kind to this young son, and this time, not only did he have all the remaining elephant cavalry, but also 20,000 horsemen and 20,000 horsemen, and 100,000 were temporarily conscripted

Du Tu soldiers, this is almost all the family background of the entire King of Sunke, Rama Shi knows nothing about military affairs, and only stays at the comparison of numbers for war, the entire army of nearly 150,000, will it not be able to destroy 30,000 Han people? Ramasi Jam thought with great ambition, but there was a little trouble.

The cause of the troubles was the Elephant Cavalry Commander, who had administrative, military, judicial, and religious powers over most of India after the defeat of Afghan rule by the Mongols from outside. He is the supreme brain, supreme commander, supreme judge, and supreme imam of Islam. The central government had departments of finance, military, justice, religion, and supervision, and the ministers of each department were directly accountable to the emperor. The country was divided into twenty-one provinces, which were ruled by governors. The civil and military officials implemented a unified military rank system and rank system, with a total of grades, with the highest being 10,000 commanders and the lowest being 10 commanders.

Although due to religious conflicts and the decline of the Mughal dynasty, the princes became independent and opposed the central dynasty, but the princes still retained the military system of the Mughal dynasty, and the commander of the elephant cavalry was the highest officer of the elephant cavalry.

Elder Wanfu had participated in the battle between the eldest prince Pandit and the Han army, and the rain of artillery fire had made him lose the courage to face the Han people: "Your Royal Highness, I don't think you should be so reckless, the artillery of the Ming army is very powerful, the range is very high, if we go to attack them on the beach, they can get the support of gunboats at sea, it is better to ......"

Before the captain's words were finished, Rama Sejam was already angry, and he dared to call himself reckless to his face, this guy was obviously Pandit's gang, that's right, Pandit had been leading the elephant cavalry, and this captain was obviously supporting the eldest prince, Rama Sejam pulled down his face and giggled: "What? My captain, are you as frightened by the Han Chinese as my brother? Well, since you are afraid of sacrifice, someone will take your place, you can leave here at any time and do not have to participate in this battle, Shiva will only bless the fearless warrior, not a cowardly coward. ”

The little prince said that he was relieved of his position, and it also meant that he was stripped of his title, you know, it was nothing to remove his position, but if he removed the title, he lost his food and became a commoner, and the whole family had to drink the northwest wind: "Your Royal Highness, I am willing to protect you with my life." ”

The captain bowed his chest, didn't dare to do anything, and looked obedient.

Rama Sejam smiled, forgave the captain very much, and then gave the order, and the whole army accelerated forward.

Near dusk, the southern Indian region has thick clouds and mist entrenched in the sky, and the sunset can only take a little gap, bursting with crimson colors, like swimming fish in the sinking sea, occasionally rolling golden scales. At this moment, the Ming soldiers had dug trenches, set up simple antlers, and waited for the appearance of the enemy on this beach.

One scout after another sent back the news, the Indians were coming quickly, the intention was to seek the Ming army to fight to the death, Zhang Youde squinted, he was really puzzled, yesterday the barbarian elephant cavalry was defeated at one time, I really can't figure out that the barbarians still have the courage to fight a decisive battle at this time, he kept guessing in his heart, and he couldn't think of any conspiracy and tricks the Indians would have.

Since this is the case, there is no way, to block, water to cover, Zhang Youde ordered people to quickly build simple fortifications, and strive to build some support for the Haidu army before the Indians arrived. The trench is very easy to dig, this is the beach, the ground is full of quicksand, a few miles of trenches will be dug in a few moments, all the Ming troops hid in improvised bunkers, filled with gunpowder, and rested against the sand pit with firearms.

Eventually, the vanguard of India arrived, stopped several miles away, and then began to assemble. Zhang Youde stood in the trench, constantly looking at the other party's movements with a monocular, and kept looking at the half pillar of incense for a long time, he put down the mirror tube with relief, according to his experience, these barbarians came quickly, which also means that they can't have enough time to perform any conspiracy, if it's just a strong attack, Zhang Youde is naturally not afraid of these barbarians.

Accept the opinion of a book friend, the first surname can be a subject of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what nationality it is. The second caste can be the Mongols, Aryans, and Sikhs, three peoples who have always had a feud on the continent of India, and they cannot be united.
