Chapter 526: The Battle of the South Seas (6)

(The name of the previous chapter was misspelled, and it can't be changed, that's all!) )

"Ulla!"

The city of Shaluntra, the capital of the Chalientra Kingdom, is surrounded by countless armies!

A large number of soldiers wielded weapons and bravely attacked this large city, but if you look closely, you can see that these soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice are not the army of the Xia Kingdom, but the army composed of soldiers of the indigenous tribes of East Java.

In order to reduce the losses of the Han soldiers under their command, Cao An and Fang Lei, who had joined forces, made a promise to all the indigenous servant armies that any tribal army that was the first to conquer the city of Shaluntara could occupy the city and establish their own country in this rich and distant land.

At this time, the most prosperous and rich land on the island of Java was a large area of land centered on the city of Shaluntara, and although the construction of the famous Bharata Stupa had not yet begun, and the kingdom of Charentra had not yet entered into his most prosperous affairs, it was still enough to stimulate all the indigenous chiefs.

Because when the Xia Kingdom led them to attack various cities in the Charentra Kingdom before, they distributed the spoils fairly and justly according to their military merits, so these indigenous tribal leaders believed in the promises of the Xia people, so they attacked very hard.

"General, don't we still have a lot of gunpowder weapons? Why not just blow up the city? A young lieutenant of the avant-garde army looked at the indigenous servants who had suffered heavy casualties in the siege, and said in his heart, "In this way, it is better to report to Your Majesty as soon as possible!" ”

"Fool!" Fang Lei saw that it was actually the captain under his command who was asking such a simple question, and immediately said dissatisfied, "If it is not my race, its heart must be different, have you forgotten this sentence?" It's always good to be able to consume some more indigenous armies, and besides, if they kill more and hate each other, they won't be able to unite in the future, and they will be weak! ”

"In that case, why did we promise to give this rich land to these indigenous tribes, General?" The fertility of the land around Shaluntara City can be seen by all the generals of the Xia army, even in the territory of the Xia Kingdom, this land can be called first-class.

Therefore, some Xia generals began to regret that if these lands were distributed to everyone, whether they were planting rice or other cash crops in the future, they would be able to obtain excellent harvests, not to mention that this land was full of heat all year round, enough to grow three crops a year.

"At that time, Sima mistakenly entered the king of Qin, and used the dogs to grab the bones to metaphorize the princes of the Kwantung region. This Shaluntara city and the vast land around it are the flesh and bones that we have thrown! ”

Cao An saw that there were many generals under his command who were very reluctant to give up this land, so he explained, "If we want these hundreds of thousands of indigenous troops to obey our orders wholeheartedly and work for us, we must give up this piece of land, only this fertile land can make them fight to the death!" ”

"The general is really clever, just such a large piece of land was given to these natives, I am really reluctant to give up!" When the generals heard Cao An and Fang Lei's explanations, they immediately expressed their admiration, but they still felt a little pity for this strategy.

"Don't be reluctant!" Fang Lei smiled at the generals, "This Shaluntara City is located inland, hundreds of miles away from the sea, even if we develop it ourselves, it will be very troublesome, and there are many natives on this island, we need a large number of troops to occupy here!" ”

"Therefore, we will not get the corresponding benefits by occupying here, but there are many disadvantages, so it is better to occupy a few large pieces of land by the sea, and then let these natives only see each other not under each other, hoe the strong and help the weak, and slowly try to do it in the next few decades, this is the best plan!"

Hearing Fang Lei's explanation, the generals were all making small calculations in their hearts, there are many volcanoes on Java Island, although the land around Shaluntara City is very rich, but the land in other coastal areas around it is not rich, but because it has not been developed, it is not noticeable.

Once the Xia State decided to establish a stronghold on the island of Java, then there was still a large amount of fertile land in the coastal areas waiting for the Xia people to reclaim, and the generals of the Xia State were now basically large landowners who owned tens of thousands of acres of land, and they could use the Kunlun slaves purchased from Kunlun Zhou to cultivate after they bought property in Nanyang.

When they thought of this, all the generals smiled, and then looked at the crumbling Shalun Tara City in the distance.

At this time, many places on the city of Shaluntra have been attacked by the indigenous army, and the defenders of the Charentra Kingdom in the city are desperately counterattacking, they know that as long as they fail, then their families, wives and daughters will not be saved, and the casualties of the indigenous army make the defenders in the city afraid of slaughtering the city and fight desperately.

In the attack of the Xia army for more than ten consecutive days, the defenders in the city of Shaluntra suffered heavy casualties, not only a large number of young people took up arms and began to defend the city, and even some women could be seen from time to time, Cao An and others did not know that even the prince of the Charentra kingdom, Balaputra, also led the palace guards to start fighting on the city wall.

As the crown prince, Prince Balaputra is said to cherish himself, but after the Chalientra Kingdom was expelled to the island of Java by Bavabanan for more than 20 years, he still has a certain martial style, and Prince Balaputra has also learned a good martial arts.

After learning of the large number of casualties in the army, he took the initiative to lead the Praetorian Guard to fight in the city. 53 Chinese Net

However, the Praetorian Guard only had two or three thousand men, and only a thousand of them could lead him to defend the city, and these Praetorian Guards were not brave in battle, and in the past, only the most powerful weevil-armored warriors in the South Seas could compare with them.

However, the tiger could not withstand the wolves, facing the hundreds of thousands of indigenous troops of East Java, a thousand Janissaries soon suffered heavy losses in the successive attacks of the indigenous army, and after more than ten days of fighting, there were only more than 300 Praetorian Guard warriors left around Prince Balaputra.

After struggling to slash an indigenous warrior, Prince Balaputra looked desperately at the surging crowd outside the city, even though the defenders had killed at least 20,000 native warriors in the past ten days, they still maintained a vigorous offensive with their strong manpower.

"Don't these tribes know about the viciousness and sinister nature of the Xia people?" Balaputra said angrily, "The Xia Kingdom has killed so many Nanyang tribes, and now it has set its sights on our Nanyang Three Kingdoms, if we perish, these tribes will be destroyed sooner or later!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Prince," the general of the Praetorian Guard said in a low voice, "the leaders of these tribes have been blessed with the promise of the Xia people!" According to the confessions of the captives we have captured, the Xia Kingdom has at least agreed with dozens of tribes to establish their own countries on our land! ”

"Bastard, bastard!" Prince Balaputra angrily slashed a newly emerging native soldier and knocked him down, "Kill these short-sighted fellows for me!" Let the people of Xia know that we Charentlantras will not give in even if we die, and we will not be like these indigenous tribes! ”

The Charentlantes, who have a strong foundation of civilization, are certainly entitled to look down on these undeveloped indigenous tribes.

"Kill!" A loud shout alarmed Prince Balaputra, and when he looked back, he was shocked that the northern gate of the city had been conquered by soldiers from the indigenous tribes, and a large number of soldiers were pouring into the city from this gate.

The influx of native soldiers continued to occupy the streets of the city and seize the walls, and the thin strength of the defenders of the city was no longer able to stop the surging enemy, and the people of the city scattered in all directions screaming.

Some civilian men with farm tools tried to resist but were slashed and killed, and then a group of indigenous soldiers burst into the room with a sinister smile, and a burst of women's screams could be heard inside.

"No!" Prince Balaputra screamed in despair, "Kill, get these bastards out!" Saying that, they were about to lead the soldiers around them, but the Praetorian Guard, which had been reduced to more than 200 people, was only a drop in the bucket.

At this time, a large group of soldiers of another tribe rushed up the city wall, and when they saw that the prince of Baraputra was dressed in gold, he immediately knew that this was a big fish, and according to his previous experience, if he captured this prisoner of war, he would be able to exchange at least a hundred very good steel knives from the Xia people.

It was the chieftain who had personally led the army to come up and beckoned the soldiers to surround him.

The Praetorian Guards around Prince Balaputra were indeed very brave, but they had been fighting for more than ten days and were already tired, while the new native army numbered more than a thousand men, more than three times their number, so they fought hard.

When the chieftain of the indigenous tribe saw that Prince Balaputra had slashed and killed many warriors of his own tribe one after another, he was furious and stepped forward with his own sword.

Before the prince of Balaputra was able to win, in addition to his outstanding martial arts, with the sharp steel knife in his hand, this is the original Funan period, in the local business of Tianzhu merchants into a kind of treasure knife, is made of Tianzhu a very special iron ore to create very cherished, to the present Charentra Kingdom itself is very few.

However, the steel knife in the hands of the indigenous chieftain was traded from the Xia people, although this kind of steel knife specially sold to the Nanyang natives could not be sold at a price in the Xia country, but it was still very good to fool the Nanyang natives.

In addition, this steel knife is very thick, even if the sword in the hand of Prince Balaputra is very good, but under the brute force of this chief, it can't resist it for a while.

At this moment, Prince Balaputra's heart was full of resentment, if it weren't for these natives to assist the Xia army in attacking his country, the kingdom of Charentra would not have come to this point, and these resentments are now concentrated on the tribal chief in front of him.

By this time, the Praetorian Guard soldiers had died in the dozens, and they had no chance of escaping, and Prince Balaputra stabbed his knife at the chieftain in a flash, but he did not know what to do.

The chief viciously stabbed the prince of Balaputra, who immediately felt a chill in his abdomen, but at the same time he also stabbed his own sword into the chief's throat.

Going to die? When Prince Balaputra fell, he saw in a trance that the palace in the city had been lit with a raging fire, it seemed that his father still had a trace of blood, and he did not want to become a slave of the Xia people, but hoped that he would be a people of Futu again in the next life!
