Chapter 537: Xia Jun who appeared unexpectedly
(Didn't anyone ask for flowers?) There are still fifty or sixty flowers, everyone hurry up! )
Originally, Prince Zidosna was going to lead tens of thousands of other troops to press up and defeat the opponent with his own military superiority after the elephant army disrupted the Xia army's formation.
However, he never expected that the other party would use such a powerful weapon, and the thousands of war elephants that he thought were killer weapons were defeated by the other party in just one stick of incense, and the tens of thousands of infantry troops who followed closely behind the elephant army were suddenly killed and wounded.
Seeing this situation, in order not to be accidentally injured by the elephant army, Prince Zhidosina had to organize the rest of the 50,000 troops to retreat slowly, but his retreat The army of Zhenla Kingdom suddenly became a mess, and if it were not for the help of many generals to maintain order, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.
That is, because the Xia army on the opposite side was mainly composed of young and strong recruits from Rinan County, and they did not pursue in time, if it was those battle-hardened veterans of the Xia Kingdom in Liaodong and Mobei, they would not be able to retreat safely with the command level of Prince Zhidosna.
This retreat has been retreating for twenty miles before it can be regarded as finding a hillside to settle down again, although the loss of the Zhenla National Infantry Army is not large, but today the Xia army gave him a head blow made him feel a lot more depressed, and he could only urge the army to quickly establish a camp.
There is not much else here in Nanyang, that is, there are many trees, and after a lot of felling, the soldiers of Zhenla quickly built a very strong camp for the sake of their own lives, and the prince and soldiers of Jindosna are much more at ease.
However, the nightmare of Prince Zidosna did not end there, and as night fell, a large number of ragged soldiers suddenly appeared from the west, and these soldiers were actually the 30,000 troops he had sent back to the capital.
The 30,000-strong army, led by the general of the Chenla Kingdom, headed westward, and while crossing the Mekong River, they were attacked by a naval army.
At that time, the 30,000 army had just passed 15,000 people to the west bank, about 10,000 people on the east bank, and the other 5,000 people were on the water.
At the same time as the appearance of this naval army, an army of 30,000 men suddenly appeared on the west bank of the Mekong River, and they took advantage of the panic of the army on the west bank of the country of Chenla to storm out, so that in addition to the thousands of soldiers on the east bank who escaped, the other more than 20,000 people who crossed the west bank and the river were all killed.
At this time, the prince of Zhidosna realized that the information he had received before said that the Xia army was trying to attack the capital of Zhenla Kingdom, Yishana Buluo City, was actually luring himself to divide his troops in order to weaken his own strength.
However, Prince Zhidosna also understands that it is okay to deal with the army behind him, but tomorrow he must destroy the army on the opposite side and then return to help, only the blood of these Xia troops can wash away the shame of the Zhenla Kingdom.
Prince Zidosna was bent on killing the Xia army on the opposite side first, and then attacking the army that attacked his own country, but he forgot that he did not attack others, but others could attack himself.
The general who led the mysterious army was Wei Sheng, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Nanyang Garrison, after the Blue Wolf Army, the Avant-garde Army, and the First Fleet went west, Zhou Qiang thought of many ways to deal with the Zhenla Kingdom, and finally adopted Wei Sheng's idea.
At Wei Sheng's suggestion, Zhou Qiang ordered him to lead the third and fourth divisions to attack Zhenla from the east, and even the commander of the third division had to obey his command, after all, compared to the ability to command operations, the second stunned man who has always liked to fight hard is far worse than Wei Sheng.
Because of the fear of the Zhenla Kingdom after the destruction of the other two countries in the South Seas, a large number of troops were deployed at the junction with the Xia Kingdom and on the coastal seashore facing the Xia Kingdom, Wei Sheng knew that it was difficult for his army to attack from the front, after all, if you want to attack the Zhenla Kingdom, you must have your own landing point.
At this time, the news came that Prince Zodosna was leading an army to attack Ninam-gun, so he suddenly thought of a good idea, he did not need to attack by sea at all, but only need to follow the Mekong River upstream, and then enter the Tonle Sap Lake, so that he would not be far from the city of Ichana Pura, the capital of Chenla.
However, Prince Zhidosna not only had to attack Rinan County, but also united the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom of Gujiluo, with the 50,000 army that had just been formed in Ninan County, he could not deal with the 100,000 army of Prince Zhidosna, so Wei Sheng had to destroy this Zhenla army with the Xia army of Ninan County first.
In this way, it is also good to weaken the comprehensive strength of the Zhenla Kingdom.
Just when Prince Zhidosina was thinking about how to attack Zhao Xiuzhi and the others on the opposite side, Wei Sheng, who had already contacted Zhao Xiuzhi and other generals of the Xia army of Ninan County, gave an order, and more than 80,000 Xia troops on both sides launched a fierce attack on the 80,000 Zhenla and Linyi coalition forces in the camp at the same time.

At this time, they didn't even care about forest fire prevention, and countless rockets were fired into the camp of the Zhenla country, and the camp of the Zhenla army, which was not very quiet, suddenly became a mess and actually bombed the camp.
At this time, even the Xia army didn't have to charge again, just watched this army gradually decrease in the fighting, and saw that it was not far from dawn, Wei Sheng took the lead in leading the army to rush towards the camp, and those who did not die were given a knife.
After some searching, the Zhenla army in the camp actually killed forty or fifty thousand people at once, and at most one or two hundred thousand people ran away, although he did not capture the prince of Zhidosi, but he was happy enough to be able to destroy so many Zhenla troops at one time.
What made Zhao Xiuzhi and others even happier was that this time they also wiped out the remnants of Gu Jiluo's Linyi Kingdom, these Zhanren, who were originally going to fight to the death with the Xia army, not only failed to get the shadow of the Xia soldiers, but they died so aggrieved, which was also a very happy thing for them.
They now chose to send only a part of the armed militia to attack Gumara, and they could occupy this fertile land, which was once full of dense forests and swamps, and which had become much more habitable after ten years of cultivation by tens of thousands of people.
It's just that they don't have so much energy to manage the last land of the Linyi Kingdom, Gu Jiluo, under the leadership of Zhao Xiuzhi and others, the 50,000 troops of Rinan County will soon go to the north of Rinan County, where there are still 100,000 Sui troops waiting for them to deal with.
And Wei Sheng went west with the second stunned man, this time the army of Zhenla Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, it was a good opportunity to fall into the ground, Zhou Qiang in Nanyang was continuing a new round of mobilization, preparing to launch an active offensive against Zhenla Country again, even if he could not kill Zhenla Country this time, he would lose his strength.
After Prince Zhidosina led thousands of remnants to flee back to the capital of Zhenla Kingdom, not only the king of Bavabanan was surprised, but even the ministers of the country were terrified.
The ministers were afraid of this, but the king of Bavabanan was afraid that the combat effectiveness of the Xia army was stronger, he learned from his son about the weapons used by the Xia army, it seems that these Han people have strengthened their weapons a lot, and they used the elephant army at the beginning, and their son still uses the elephant army, and it is no wonder that there is no progress for decades.
Thinking of this, the king of Varbabanan seemed a little depressed, since this is the case, then defeating the Xia State can only be an illusory good wish, it seems that after he captures the Xia army that broke into his country, he needs to use them to negotiate peace with the Xia State.
I really had to bow my head and admit my mistake, after the collapse of the kingdom of Charentra and the death of Sri Buddha, the king of Chenla Bavabanan was horrified to find that the entire Nanyang country was left with only one independent country in the eastern region except for the country of Pyu and the country of Zhitong in the southern region of Myanmar in later generations.
The Han people, who were weak in Nanyang at the beginning, have already had one or two million people after twenty or thirty years of development, and they only need to mobilize well to have an army of more than 100,000, not to mention that they still have tens of millions of people in the north.
Tens of millions, what a terrible number, Ba Vabanan didn't know that this actual data was much more terrifying than he knew, and after being threatened by the Xia army of Ninan County before, he knew that there was such a dangerous thing around him, and he had to strangle anything.
He was threatened by the army of the Xia Kingdom of Rinan County, and failed to rescue the kingdom of Sri Buddha and the Kingdom of Charentra in time, and later he learned that the so-called Great Sui army that threatened his safety was actually only the Han militia of Rinan County, and it was the back hand of the Xia people.
So he was so angry that he immediately decided to send troops, and at the same time sent a large amount of assistance to the remnants of the Linyi forces in the Gujiluo area in the south of Rinan County, so that they could counterattack Rinan County, and the king of Bavabanan also sent envoys to the Sui Empire to question the matter.
However, the king of Bavabanan never thought that the consequences of the 100,000-strong army attacking Rinan County would be like this, and the Xia army did not even attack, and the army of Zhenla Kingdom took care of itself.
Thinking that he had an army of more than 300,000 at the beginning, even in the first year of the war with the Xia Kingdom, he only lost 50,000 or 60,000 people, but he didn't expect that he had lost more than 80,000 troops in one go, including his own powerful elephant army.
There is no pity for the elephant army of the king of Bavabanan, anyway, the elephant army of Zhenla country has 50,000 or 60,000 war elephants, although it is a pity to lose a few thousand, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but the 100,000 or so troops lost before are not easy to replenish.
Today, the total army of the Jinla Kingdom is less than 200,000 men, some of which are deployed on the peninsula bordering the Xia Kingdom, and most of the other troops are deployed on the coast and near the Mekong River to prevent the Xia army from attacking their hinterland.
However, he was afraid of something, and just when Bavabanan was extremely worried about the defeat of Prince Zhidosna, a scout suddenly discovered that the Xia army of 30,000 men who had attacked the city of Chenla had actually appeared twenty miles from the city of Ishana Buluo.
"What? Only twenty miles!? Baba Banan was taken aback, at this time, there were only more than 10,000 city guards in the city of Yishana Buluo, and all the other troops were sent by him to the border to resist the Xia army.
