This is an update to make up for September 24th, and there is one more chapter in the evening!

At the beginning of November, it is the most pleasant period of weather in the whole South Seas, the South Sea Islands, which are deeply affected by the tropical monsoon climate, the rainy season has long passed, and the sun is shining, which is not only suitable for outdoor activities, but also suitable for large army operations.

During the construction of the Coral Island base, many other baggage were transported from the East China Sea, but now more people from other places are being transported in large numbers of Xia people recruited from other places

Now that Luhan County has relocated the first batch of people to settle here, and more people will be mobilized here in the future, only the land in the hands of the Han people can ensure the Xia Kingdom's control of this land.

Mi Ke, who was in charge of naval operations, was the first to be dispatched, and he was responsible for clearing all the ships of the Kingdom of Charentra in the waters east of Java.

At the same time as the navy was dispatched, a large number of Xia merchant ships also coordinated all the way, these merchant ships were not professional warships after all, but because of the advanced shipbuilding industry of Xia State, although these merchant ships were somewhat difficult to deal with enemy warships, it was quite good to clean up those small fishing boats.

In the hope of war exploits, the merchants of the Xia Kingdom were extremely brave, and in just a few days, they swept away at least thousands of small ships, and even some small groups of the Chalentra Kingdom naval army were defeated by a group of gathered Xia merchant ships, and many warships were captured.

At the same time as the Xia navy was fighting, Fang Lei led the infantry army to attack from Coral Island (Bali) to Java Island not far away.

Coral Island is so close to Java Island!

The distance of only more than 3,000 meters makes this island almost connected to the big island, which is why the Xia army finally chose this place as the forward base, from here the Xia army can easily attack the big island.

"What a great place!" Standing on the edge of a silver beach, Fang Lei looked at the beautiful scenery around him in fascination, "If you return to the field in the future, this is a good place to retire, and it would be better to build a manor!" ”

Behind Fang Lei, tens of thousands of soldiers had already prepared, and the deputy general Kuai Yue followed closely behind Fang Lei, hearing Fang Lei's emotion, Kuai Yue smiled and said: "Such a good place should be in our own hands!" The soldiers are ready, please give the general an order! ”

"Let's get on board!"

With Fang Lei's order, the 5,000 people of the front army of the front guard army, under the leadership of the deputy general Kuai Yue, took the lead in boarding more than 400 assault boats and attacked the opposite beach.

These assault boats boarded by Kuai Yue are specially built ships of the Xia Kingdom for beach rush operations, some are similar to sand boats, but the draft is shallower, and with the support of artificial power behind, they can rush up to the shallows with a water depth of less than two feet, so that the Xia army can easily wash up on the beach.

It stands to reason that the defenders on the opposite side should have known the news of the Xia army's entry a long time ago because the newly conquered indigenous tribes in the east of the island did not cooperate, and the army of the Charentra Kingdom still knew about it a little late.

Although they sent the news to the capital as soon as they got the news, the poor traffic situation on the island made it difficult for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible, and they could only hold on to the city in an attempt to delay time and wait for reinforcements, so there were no defenders on the beach facing Coral Island.

As the first kingdom to unify the island of Java, the Kingdom of Charentra also created a very brilliant culture in the original history, but now they do not have so much time to develop, and the Kingdom of Charentra has only been established for more than 20 years.

At present, the center of gravity of the Charentra Kingdom exists in the west of the island, and the eastern part of the island has only been conquered for five or six years, and the military strength of the Charendela Kingdom only exists in a few newly established cities, which can be regarded as the weakest place in the ruling power of the Charentra Kingdom on the island.

The general Charentra who guarded the city of Surabaya was a descendant of the minister who fled to Java with the prince of Funan, even though the original Funan Kingdom had been destroyed by the king of Chenla, Bavabanan, but the mentality of the subjects of the Nanyang overlord still existed.

Over the years, Xia Guo has continued to expand its territory in Nanyang, and of course he knows what the strength of Xia Guo is in Nanyang, although he is unwilling in his heart, he also knows that the combat effectiveness of the more than 20,000 Xia troops led by Fang Lei is definitely above the 30,000 soldiers under his command.

Therefore, he did his best to concentrate the soldiers of several eastern cities in the city of Surabaya as much as possible, in addition to the city of Surabaya and the more than 30,000 soldiers gathered, the other two cities still kept 10,000 soldiers each.

After making these preparations, Horns finally had some sense of security, even if these soldiers could not repel the Xia army, but it was still possible to hold on and wait for reinforcements! Free Chinese

This is the reason why the Xia army rarely launched siege warfare in Nanyang, if he had seen the situation when the Xia army attacked many cities in Goguryeo during the war against Goguryeo, he would not have such an idea.

"Fortunately, these indigenous armies did not scatter into the surrounding jungles to fight guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare, but tried to rely on the city to resist our army!" Fang Lei was really overjoyed when he learned the news that the defenders of Charentra were holding on to help.

He said excitedly to Kuai Yue: "Your Majesty once said that the dense forests of the South Seas are full of miasma and poisonous insects, and the biggest enemy of our army here is not how strong the enemy is, but the environment here is really not too suitable for us and other northerners!" Now these natives think that they are strong and want to hold on to the city, but they don't know how many times weaker than the original Goguryeo. ”

Kuai Yue looked at the small city with only a half-zhang high city wall in front of him, as well as the dense jungle more than ten miles away, and frowned: "General, there is a dense forest not far from the city, and you need to be careful that the enemy army sets up an ambush, and if you don't get it right, it will be a plan to lure the enemy!" ”

"Don't worry," Fang Lei rubbed his hands excitedly, "Even if there is an enemy outside the city, don't be afraid for a while, first annihilate these 30,000 troops and destroy the other party's living force is the right thing!" ”

Although the Xia State has only been established for more than 30 years, from before its establishment to after its establishment, the Xia Army has been engaged in battles of varying scale almost every year, including naval battles, infantry battles, cavalry battles, water battles, special operations, and large corps operations, and I don't know how many wars it has experienced.

With so many examples, under Wang Ze's suggestion, after summarizing and summarizing over the years, the major military academies in the Xia Kingdom have long sorted out a set of marching rules for various combat modes.

For the Surabaya City in front of him, Fang Lei had at least twelve ways to easily take it down, but he disliked these methods as much as delaying time, he now not only had to take Surabaya City as soon as possible, but also as much as possible to deter the surrounding indigenous scouts who had disappeared from time to time.

In just one day, hundreds of trebuchets had been built, so under the multi-layered attack of rockets and trebuchets, the city wall, which was only one and a half feet high, soon collapsed in many places, and the whole process did not even reach a quarter of an hour.

Although he had also experienced many battles with the kingdom of Sri Buddha and the kingdom of Chenla, even in the face of the invincible elephant armies of the two countries, he did not need to frown, but this time the battle was really the first time he had seen it, and such a high-intensity offensive had never appeared in Nanyang.

Although he had also heard that this was the scene when Bolin Bang was attacked by the Xia army, he always thought that it was an excuse for the people of Sri Buddha to cover up their defeat, but he didn't want the people of Sri Buddha to lie and the Xia army was too strong.

After all, he was a relatively valued general in the Charentra Kingdom, although he was born in the lineage, but after all, he had good military talents, even if the walls of Surabaya had collapsed, the indigenous soldiers in the city still held their positions under his organization, and there was no rout.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Xia army's vanguard army attacked under the cover of rockets, trebuchets and crossbow arrows, and in order to prevent these soldiers from fainting from heat stroke when charging in armor, Fang Lei also gave each of them a lot of iced sour plum soup.

With a belly of ice water as a base, the Xia soldiers were more energetic in charging, and the fine armor on their bodies had improved the safety and security of I don't know how many times, and there were whistling rockets on their heads, and the rumbling explosions made them seem to have found the feeling of the original battlefield again.

Although the attack of rockets and trebuchets greatly shocked the Tu Baozi of the Charentra Kingdom, under the organization of the horns, the Charentra defenders still bravely met it, at least the Charentra Kingdom, which had not been established for a long time, still had a strong martial spirit.

It's a pity that in front of these professional butchers of Xia Jun, these defenders of the Charentra Kingdom are only amateurs among amateurs, not only are they small and thin, but even the weapons in their hands are mostly inferior bronze, and often Xia Jun can cut off people with weapons with a single sword.

In the space of an hour, the defenders of Charentra had lost thousands of men, and with the heavy blows of rockets and trebuchets, it was impossible for these indigenous soldiers, no matter how brave they were, to hold out, and no matter how much he promised to keep his own soldiers in formation, there was no other soldier who obeyed orders.

Fang Lei was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered a general attack, and a large number of Xia troops continued to pour into the city from the break in the city wall.

Several Xia soldiers rushed to the city wall with crossbow arrows and occupied the commanding heights, and when they saw an enemy general dressed in a gorgeous costume, they immediately sent the highest governor of the Charentra kingdom in the eastern part of Java to their Buddha.

With the death of Horns, the last resistance of the Charentra defenders quickly collapsed, and then the Xia army only needed to capture the prisoners and collect money, which the Xia army did more professionally than fighting.

After all, the city of Surabaya was still built for a short time, Kuai Yue led thousands of soldiers to soon search the small Surabaya City, although there are not many people here, but the gold and silver are not a small number, so that Kuai Yue's mouth has been happy to close.

But when he was about to report the situation to Fang Lei, he was surprised to find that the Xia army was expelling all the prisoners of war to a wasteland outside the city, and seven or eight big pits had been dug to kill the prisoners!
