Chapter 539: The Kingdom of Zhenla is destroyed

King Bavabanan is dead!

Prince Zodosna is also dead!

After the relatively strong walls of the city of Ishanabula were destroyed, the king of Bavabanan immediately organized the soldiers and civilians in the city to carry out a tragic counterattack, but under the fierce offensive of the Xia army, how could these weak defenders resist.

In order to successfully attack the city, Wei Sheng gave full play to the Xia army's multi-level attack tactics against thunderbolts, crossbow arrows, and rockets.

The thousands of Zhenla soldiers organized by Bavabanan were killed at the first time because they were too close together, and then hundreds of people were slashed and killed by the Xia army who rushed into the city, and the rest of the Zhenla soldiers were immediately frightened and fled.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the helpless King Bavabanan had no choice but to take his son, Prince Zhidosna, to lead the only nearly 1,000 Praetorian Guards around him to fight and retreat, and fled into the palace in the city to guard, which was also the last line of defense they could rely on.

At this time, the city of Izana Bura was not as prosperous as it was when Angkor was destroyed in later generations, and the area of the royal city was not large, so there were only more than 1,000 defenders in the royal city at most, and the defense force was very weak.

Soon, the thousands of Xia troops who rushed into the city of Yishu Nabula surrounded the royal city, and under the command of a commander and military Sima, thousands of Xia soldiers used their strong crossbows to suppress the defenders on the royal city so that they could not raise their heads at all, and took advantage of this opportunity to successfully attack through the ladder with hundreds of soldiers.

Seeing that so many soldiers had entered the royal city, Wei Sheng and Erzi, who had just arrived with a large army, couldn't help but clench their fists, and the two of them could see the excitement in each other's eyes at a glance, and now they were going to get rich.

In their opinion, the fact that so many of their own soldiers entered the royal city meant that they had definitely occupied this royal city, and the defenders in it were at most a thousand people, and these dark-skinned and short-sized Zhenla soldiers were no match for the tall and strong Xia army soldiers.

As expected, after a fierce battle sounded inside, the gate of the royal city was soon opened, and even the corpses of Zhenla soldiers could be seen all over the city from outside the gate, and this royal palace full of treasures was displayed in front of the two of them.

Just when the two of them were about to lead the army to rush in together, several halls in the palace suddenly burst into flames, and the boiling heat not only stopped the Xia army outside the royal city, but even the nearly 1,000 Xia soldiers who had rushed in hurriedly escaped.

It turned out that the king of Bahavabanan saw that the destruction of the kingdom of Zhenla was a foregone conclusion, and he did not want to be humiliated, so he entered the palace as soon as possible and killed all his family, and went to his Buddha, and then he raised fire and completely burned the entire palace, preferring to destroy these things rather than leave them to the enemy.

Although many of the buildings in the palace were made of masonry, there were also many buildings made of wood, and the furniture made of fine wood in the palace added fuel to the fire, and these precious furniture made of fine mahogany were burned.

"What a martyr!" Seeing the destruction of the palace, Wei Sheng sighed at the same time as pity.

The raging fire in front of him was even fifty paces away, Wei Sheng's hair was burnt yellow, and around the fire, a large number of Xia soldiers were skillfully and quickly forking off the surrounding houses to prevent the fire from spreading along the surrounding buildings.

Now the royal city with the most good things cannot be saved, but there are a large number of other nobles, ministers and generals in the city who can harvest their homes and a large amount of property, and some gold and silver in the palace can still continue to be searched after the fire is extinguished, so in addition to these soldiers who demolished the courtyard, a large number of soldiers are scattered in battalions.

The soldiers of the Xia army were accustomed to frugality, or robbery, and the houses around the palace were all courtyards where the princes and ministers lived, and not only the wood used was good wood, but also a large number of gold, silver, and jewelry inlays.

While the soldiers demolished these houses, they did not forget to remove all the valuable things on them, Wei Sheng was very satisfied with the carefulness of these soldiers after seeing them, and he said loudly: "Mount Tai can become big without giving up an inch of land!" Everything that can be removed must be removed, and we must remove everything that can be removed! ”

If some old masters who advocate Confucianism in the Great Sui hear Wei Sheng's words, they can be angry to death, and when can this sentence be used as a robbery to encourage everyone to do a good job?

In addition to Wei Sheng encouraging the soldiers here, the second stunned man just took a battalion of soldiers to loot around, anyway, he was stupid and didn't know what to say, as long as he took the lead, other soldiers would naturally follow suit, this is also the leading skill that the second stunned man has pondered over the years, since he can't say it, then express it with practical actions.

Although Zhenla has only become the overlord of Nanyang for more than 20 years, he has replaced the old power of Funan after all.

It's just that these treasures have fallen into the hands of the Xia people. Kanshu.com

During the period of the Xia army's wanton looting, that is, some Zhenla nobles rebelled with private soldiers and brought some trouble, but in front of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Xia Kingdom, the resistance of these Zhenla nobles could only be used as a mantis arm to brush experience points for others.

Because there were too many valuable items collected along the way, after transporting the first batch of goods, Wei Sheng simply called more than half of the thousands of sailors under Yu Hao's command in the Tonle Sap Lake, and let these sailors also participate in the raids.

The more this is the case, the more Wei Sheng, Er Dumb and the others feel pity, if the palace is not burned down, then wouldn't there be more good things that Xia Jun can take away?

Wei Sheng and the two were stunned, but the more Yu Hao thought about it, the more angry he became, so the people of Zhenla inside and outside the city of Yixiang Nabuluo were unlucky, not only many people were killed, but even Yu Hao took away a lot of young people to be slaves, among which naturally there were also young and beautiful Zhenla women.

Over the years, it has become a good habit to attack foreign countries, rob young people as slaves, and rob young and beautiful women.

For five consecutive days, Wei Sheng took the city of Isena Buluo as the core, wantonly collecting all the property and people within a radius of thirty miles, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts and detectives to spy on the surrounding environment to prevent the Zhenla reinforcements from attacking him.

In just five days, Wei Sheng estimated that he had looted at least nearly 10,000 catties of gold, as well as more than 20,000 catties of silver, tens of thousands of other young and strong slaves, and more than 20,000 young and beautiful women.

When the tens of thousands of troops stationed on the southern coast of the Zhenla Kingdom rushed back to the city of Ishanabura, Wei Sheng and the others had already boarded a ship from the Tonle Sap Lake with a large amount of property, leaving only the Jinla people with a dilapidated capital and the ruins everywhere.

When entering the Mekong River from the Tonle Sap Lake, the only remaining navy of the Zhenla country actually wanted to sneak attack the Xia army, but he did not expect the ferocity of this Xia army's naval army, and before they could get close, they were all sunk by the Xia army's dense rockets, and all the soldiers of the Zhenla navy who sank into the water were shot and killed except for a very few.

After that, no Zhenla army dared to intercept this loaded Xia army, and with their return, it meant that no country or force in the entire South Seas could confront the Xia country.

After the capture of the city of Ishubra and the killing of the king of Bavabanan and the prince of Zodosna, the Nanyang garrison, which had already launched an attack from the south, also stopped all offensives.

Because the Xia State is currently not only fighting against the Zhenla army in Nanyang, but also facing the invasion of more than 100,000 Sui troops in Rinan County, the battle between Mobei and the Turkic army is still ongoing, and the war with the Pandia Kingdom, the Lion State Ceylon, and the Persian Empire in the West is also almost all over the West.

The long and huge battle line made the Xia State unable to occupy the Zhenla Kingdom militarily at present, and the Xia army only killed the king, prince and other royal members of Zhenla through a sneak attack, and the main army in other parts of Zhenla still had 200,000 people, and the only way to occupy Zhenla was to wait for the future to mobilize a large army to attack.

At present, all the members of the direct royal family of Zhenla have died, and the Zhenla Kingdom without a king has no leader, if the Xia Kingdom still puts on an aggressive posture, it is likely that these generals within the Zhenla Kingdom will compromise with each other, and then resist the invasion of the Xia Kingdom together.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Qiang, who presided over the Nanyang War, had to give up the attack on Zhenla, and on the one hand, he established a defensive line by consolidating the isthmus he occupied, and on the other hand, he organized the armies of the Nanyang counties to prepare to resist the Sui army that was moving south from Jiaozhi County.

But even Zhou Qiang himself didn't know that it was precisely because of the collapse of the Zhenla royal family, after the absence of a unified leader, all the powerful leading generals of the Zhenla country had the ambition to replace them, who didn't want to build a country of their own?

Anyway, at present, the king and the crown prince of Zhenla have all been killed in battle, so many generals in Zhenla have begun to attack each other with troops and self-respect.

Even some members of the royal family who did not have the right to inherit the throne have co-opted some generals, and they have set off a civil war on a large scale in order to obtain the right to inherit the throne.

After the outbreak of this civil war, a large number of soldiers and civilians died, and the strength of Zhenla was further weakened, which is also what Xia is most willing to see.

After learning of the changes within the Zhenla Kingdom, Zhou Qiang was very relieved, and fortunately, it was the internal scuffle of the Zhenla Kingdom, only in this way could the Xia army in Nanyang have the energy to deal with the Great Sui army that was about to go south, which was a matter of primary and secondary relations.

After making sure that there was no need to worry too much about the affairs of the Zhenla Kingdom, Zhou Qiang first praised Wei Sheng's beautiful actions, and then he left a thousand veterans with the newly assembled 10,000 National Guards to continue to garrison the narrowest isthmus defense line on the peninsula to prevent any army of the Zhenla Kingdom from sneaking up on the front of him.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Great Sui army is not comparable to that of the Zhenla army, not to mention that there are 50,000 slang troops led by Mrs. Xian's three grandsons in the Sui army.
