Chapter 265: King Linyi's Little Abacus
"Woo~~~~" "Woo~~~~" "Woo~~~~"
Urged by the muffled horn cornet, a group of tattered soldiers of the Linyi tribe were reluctantly driven onto the battlefield and attacked the city of Inbora not far in front of them.
Behind them, a group of elite soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom in armor and armed with sharp blades stared at them, these soldiers were the overseers sent by King Gao Shi Tengkai, they were unwilling to continue the attack, but they were forcing themselves to die, which made the ordinary soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom very angry.
But no matter how angry they were, all the tribal soldiers who were unwilling to advance would be shot mercilessly by these elite soldiers behind, so that Cheng Hu, who saw this scene on the city wall, thought that these tribal soldiers were not from Linyi, but prisoners of war from Linyi.
"Is this King of Linyi in the water?" Cheng Hu was very puzzled, "He still has so many elite soldiers, even if we wiped out nearly 10,000 people a few days ago, but there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 people, why are these beggar soldiers who are not even very good at weapons forced to fight us now?" ”
Zhu Bofu knocked Cheng Hu's head, and then said in an old-fashioned manner: "This is not simple, he feels that several other chiefs are not of the same mind as him, he doesn't feel that he has lost so many soldiers, and it is likely that he will not be able to suppress these chiefs, so he forces these tribes to fight with us, let them know the strength of our army, and also take the opportunity to weaken these tribes!" ”
Cheng Hu nodded suddenly, he couldn't imagine that there were still such Taoists in this, thinking back to his work under Wang Ze, this would never happen.
All the armies of the Xia Kingdom in the East China Sea are organized and trained by the militia training department, and then those who pass the examination will enter the army and become a glorious regular army.
After entering the army, most of the soldiers in these armies are not absolute professional soldiers, but compulsory soldiers during the military service, but the allowance during the service period is still very high, generally only as long as they are in the army for three years can complete the service period, and the separation of soldiers and generals is truly realized, and generals cannot rely on such soldiers to rebel.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hu became happy again, because in this way the relationship between himself and Wang Ze would continue to be maintained, and there would be no such thing as brothers turning against each other, Cheng Hu was actually not stupid, he was just too lazy to think about it.
Outside the city of Inbhara, the king of Linyi, Gao Shi Tengkai, watched with a gloomy face as the chiefs of the four tribes of Amarabo, Vijaya, Bintonglong, and Gujira each sent their own troops to attack the walls of one of the cities.
At this time, there were not many cities in the entire Nanyang, so siege battles rarely occurred, and even the elite army under Gao Shi Tengkai did not have much experience in siege cities, let alone the tribal army that was only responsible for the security of the four borders in peacetime.
Seeing a famous tribal soldier being shot to the ground by the Han soldiers in the city so easily, Gao Shi Tengkai didn't even blink his eyes, this is an era when human life is as cheap as a dog, and he just wants to use these non-descendant human lives to consume the bows and arrows of the Han people in the city.
These Han people went on an expedition, attacked their palace, and captured all the wives, children, and ministers in the city, if they couldn't capture these Han people well, how could they get out of this breath, and he also wanted to use these Han people in the city to exchange for those who were captured.
Because the soldiers in the city of Bharata were not all the soldiers of the coalition army, because there was also a port by the sea and the city of Singha Bura needed to be garrisoned, and thousands of soldiers of the Chen army and Wang Ze's sailors were stationed there, so there were only more than 20,000 soldiers under the command of Zhou Wenhua, Ah Niu and Wang Ze.
If Wang Ze hadn't taken the initiative to defend the city with the two of them this time, I'm afraid the two wouldn't have dared to go crazy together, and if they didn't make it, they would have been played to death by Wang Ze.
On the first day of Gao Shi Tengkai's arrival, Wang Ze and others gave him a dismount, and immediately put on an empty city plan, Gao Shi Tengkai didn't care about those who immediately sent nearly 10,000 people into the city, but after Wang Ze blocked the gate, he burned most of them to death with firewood, grass, fire oil and other materials that had been prepared long ago, and the rest of the soldiers of Linyi were all killed.
After killing nearly one-fifth of Gao Tengkai's elite troops, Wang Ze was ready to retreat, he was not ready to fight Lin Yi here, after all, this is the territory of Lin Yi State, even if Lin Yi State lost a large number of troops, it was better to collect it on the spot.
And Wang Ze and their tripartite alliance army only had about 20,000 people, which could not withstand the consumption, so under Wang Ze's arrangement, Zhou Wenhua and A Niu also went to prepare for the retreat.
Because the city of Borabura is only twenty or thirty miles away from the Singha city by the sea, if people walk normally, that is, they can walk without two hours, they can take advantage of the second half of the night when the sky is still dawn to quietly withdraw, but Zhou Wenhua and Ah Niu reported that many unused materials of the coalition army could not be taken away.
After all, so many people want to leave quietly, and they don't want to alarm the people of Linyi, so they have to travel lightly, so that even if they have to fight in unexpected situations, they can also retain the physical strength of the soldiers to fight.
After thinking about it, Wang Ze ordered all the belongings to be thrown away, and set off with only food that could be eaten for two days, although it was only a morning's work from the Singha Bura City, but Wang Ze still asked the soldiers to prepare more food just in case. Wonderful Pen Court
Zhou Wenhua asked: "Xiahou, now that we have seized a large amount of grain, cattle and sheep and thousands of elephants, these things must not be taken away, what should we do?" ”
Wang Ze thought for a while and said in his heart: "In this case, leave me a hundred elephants, and then kill all the elephants, cattle and sheep and put them into all the rivers and wells in the city of Inbora, and then set fire to all the grain after we leave, and don't leave any food for them!" ”
Hearing that Wang Ze actually asked for a hundred elephants, Ah Niu on the side immediately said strangely: "Xiahou, I remember that the East China Sea is not very suitable for elephant life, why do you still have to keep a hundred elephants?" ”
Wang Ze glanced at Ah Niu, who was full of gossip on his face, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, this elephant is prepared for the people of Yizhou County and Ryukyu County, although there is no humid heat in the South Seas, but there is no winter, and the elephant can also play a good role there." ”
Everyone knows the news of Wang Ze's occupation and development of Yizhou, but there are not many people there so far, so everyone including Zhou Wenhua doesn't care much, since Wang Ze is willing to set off with these hundred elephants, then take it, and help with the luggage.
Some people are afraid that the elephant will scream when it leaves in the middle of the night, but Wang Ze has a way to feed the elephant some peppercorns, and when the elephant's tongue is numb, he can't make a sound, which is simply amazing.
Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu, the two honest children, really thought that Wang Ze was an elephant prepared for Yizhou County, and shouted that if they could, they would also take a few to Tanegashima, so that everyone could see the elephant in the East China Sea.
In fact, everyone didn't know that the elephants prepared by Wang Ze were actually prepared for various bases in the South Seas, where the climate was the same as that of Linyi Country, but because it was located on the island, there were no elephants.
Even if there is a certain species of elephant on some islands, it is just a jungle mini elephant that is too small, and such an elephant is not much bigger than a cow, let alone helping the Han people there, Wang Ze is not raising these guys in vain.
In fact, Wang Ze originally wanted Du Sheng's department of the Nanyang Fleet to come, not only to help him move these last belongings, but also to assist him in the battle, but because Wang Ze didn't want Nan Chen to know about the base he set up in Nanyang so quickly, he didn't let them come.
In addition, now that the Nanyang Coalition Army and Nanchen are in a scuffle, Tianzhu Maritime Merchants take the opportunity to participate in it, Wang Ze is ready to temporarily appear as an independent force in the Nanyang base, and wait until a few years later when his strength is further strengthened before making the real news public.
At that time, not to mention the further strengthening of the East China Sea, grain production and iron tools will also be greatly developed, and there will be no need to be subject to Nanchen and other Central Plains countries, and there will be no need to be afraid of Nanchen's opposition at all.
Wang Ze thought very well, but before Wang Ze and the others left Inbora City, a Nanchen soldier stationed in Sangha Buluo City sneaked into the city at night and sent a letter written by Ouyang Kui, in which Ouyang Cheng actually begged everyone to hold on for a few more days.
Now Ouyang Wei has defeated the coalition army of the Nanyang natives, is leading the army to sweep Jiaozhou, and is preparing to take the army all the way to Linyi State, so that not only everyone can quell the rebellion in Jiaozhou, but also recover the Linyi State that has been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and re-set Rinan County.
What a great thing is this?
So Zhou Wenhua was not calm all of a sudden, Ah Niu and Wang Ze also received letters written by Mrs. Xian respectively, and the letter did not say much, but let the two decide for themselves, if the situation is not possible, don't be reluctant, try to take care of your own safety.
After Ah Niu and Wang Ze glanced at each other, they both nodded suddenly, originally it was just himself and the others, but if there were more than 60,000 troops of Ouyang Yi and Mrs. Xian, then Lin Yiguo would have a little bit of preferability, and the opportunity was rare, so it was better to start now.
Zhou Wenhua, Ah Niu, and Wang Ze began to rearrange the battle plan in order to welcome Ouyang Yi's army, and Gao Tengkai outside the city also received a piece of information from the Tianzhu merchant at this time, and the news of the failure of the Nanyang indigenous alliance on it immediately made him panic.
Originally, he sat like a mountain and fought against the Han people in the city, and the attention was to have the natives of Funan and Jiaozhou to resist the Nanchen army, so that he could steadily consume the power of some of the indigenous chiefs below, and then annihilate the Han people in the city.
In this way, not only can you increase your prestige, but you can also take the opportunity to further reinstate the power of the state, and then you can hold all the power of the country in the palm of your own hands like the emperor of the Central Plains.
But now that the coalition army of the Nanyang natives has completely failed, and tens of thousands of Chen troops are going south soon, if they have not been able to solve these Han people in the city by then, they will face internal and external attacks, and the loss of not only some troops will be lost, but even the disaster of the country will be in front of them.
