(I checked the map again, and it was a bit embarrassing, because the cities of Tangor and Madurai are not near the sea, but they are located in the lower reaches of the two rivers, and they are still a little way from the mouth of the sea.)

Journey. The data map used by Lao Wang was wrong, and he forgot to compare it with the modern map, so he will just look at it. Jen 8

In the world, there is something called "Indian time". It is mysterious, mysterious, unpredictable, and elusive. Jen 5]

Under the tandem of the Dutch, the forces of all parties agreed to send troops immediately after the rainy season.

But after the rainy season, King Madurai began to gather troops. Orders were passed to the cities and villages, the military aristocracy was slow to do things, and the officers and soldiers were slowly assembled. Drag and drag

The summer rice is about to be harvested, and the grain will definitely be harvested first.

2]

At this rate, I'm afraid we will have to wait until late autumn to complete the assembly.

The one who moved the fastest was the prince of Kanmei City. These guys are nominally subordinate to Zhao Kuangbiao and have a stake in them, so they are very motivated and busy with the coalition forces

People.

Whether it is Sun Kewang, an old thief, or Weng Yingqi, the general of the Datong Army, they have fought for half their lives, and now they all miscalculated when they come to India!

The imaginary situation did not come at all.

In this case, according to the will of the civil officials, it is most reasonable to clean up the prince of Kanmei City first. 1]

Who would have thought that?

As the saying goes, a soldier is fast.

The infantry, cavalry, and naval commanders under Zhao Kuangbiao, in order to gain more time, prepared one by one in the rainy season. The peasants in the village community were whipped and braved the rain to go to the court

Wucheng gathered, and even more than 20 people died of a cold and fever because of this.

When Weng Yingshi landed in a sea boat with his infantry and people, and then transferred to a river boat, and came to the outside of Madurai, the sultan here was terrified.

"In less than half a month, how did the Chinese kill it?" Sultan Udaji was completely at a loss. Jen 11

This product is young and vigorous, and he still has some responsibility, personally leading the guards to guard the imperial city, and mobilizing the citizens to defend it together.

As for Sun Kewang, all the cavalry under his command were lightly armoured, and they only took dry food to the border. When they saw the villages, they killed people and robbed food, and even plundered several villages, but they did not see the enemy at all

The shadow of the army.

Beforehand, the three generals Weng Yingqi, Sun Kewang, and Lin Chengzong repeatedly discussed and formulated a detailed plan.

But their military plan, when it came to the battlefield in India, was completely like a joke, and all the pre-- all failed Ren 8

Sun Kewang didn't care so much, anyway, he robbed the village community all the way, and killed those who wore good clothes and lived in good houses. The more Brahmins he killed, the more Kshatriyates he killed, and the more Madurai kingdoms he had

The more chaotic the layer rule becomes, don't think of sending troops to fight the Jin Kingdom in the next few years-

The road was murdered and plundered, Sun Kewang took the cavalry, and they all ran to join Weng Yingji's infantry, and the army of King Qin of Madurai had not yet appeared. Jen 1]

"it, what the hell is this fighting?" Sun Kewang couldn't help but scold his mother.

3]

Weng Yingzhi was also a little speechless, pointed to the city and said: "Predetermined, if the enemy does not send troops, we will besiege the city and send reinforcements." But the enemy's reinforcements have been delayed, and we are here

Dry? If the time drags on for too long, what should I do if His Highness is besieged in Taiwu City?" VII 4

"How do I know?" Sun Kewang's face was depressed.

At this moment, an officer came running and reported: "Two generals, the enemy is going out of the city to fight!"

Weng Yingqi and Sun Kewang looked at each other, first stunned, and then overjoyed.

Several gates were opened, and one group after another of enemy troops left the city.

There are even more than a dozen war elephants, which are actually kept in the city.

Sultan Udaji also took the expedition himself, and the king was full of ambition and felt that he would win the battle.

He had more than 600 musketeers, nearly 1,000 elite infantry using cold weapons, hundreds of cavalry, and more than a dozen war elephants. Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras in the city,

Some were also temporarily recruited and trained into an army of tens of thousands of people. In addition, there are also sailors in the lake, and hundreds of inland river boats have been dispatched. Jen 5

And on the Chinese side, only 600 infantry went out of the city. Of the remaining 400 infantry, 300 men were left to defend the city, and 100 men were scattered to manage the village community.

Another 300 cavalry units, 100 naval fighters.

The real soldiers, just this thousand people!

The rest were all Shudra people, who recruited more than 2,000 people, and were tasked with transporting baggage, assisting in the construction of camps, and helping soldiers wash their clothes.

"How dare you come out." Sun Kewang smiled on his face.

Jen 2]

Weng Yingqi said:

"General Sun, I will lead the infantry to stick to the camp, and you will find an opportunity to go out and create chaos." Jen 2

"I understand." Sun Kewang said with a smile.

The camp of the Jin army was flanked by a small lake to the west and a tributary of the Vaigai River to the south.

Madurai's army either crossed the river, landed on the lake, or circled along the shore.

Sun Kewang directly led the cavalry out of the camp and ran downstream to cross the river, wanting to make a detour back to the rear of the enemy army to raid.

Only 600 army infantry, 100 navy soldiers, and more than 2,000 Shudra men who were completely incapable of fighting were left in the camp.

Madurai's navy was the first to launch an offensive, killing hundreds of boats from the lake.

There were only catapults and bows and arrows on board, and Weng Yingzhi had six guns under his command, and before the enemy ships could enter the range of the trebuchets, the rumbling of artillery rang out.

When the enemy warships heard the sound of artillery, they were so frightened that they hurriedly dispersed their formations and cautiously approached the camp.

Udaji bought a clairvoyant mirror from the Dutch, he carefully observed the situation in the camp, felt that he should not lose, and his own army of tens of thousands crossed the river, and the pile also heaped the Chinese

Die. Without waiting for the sailors to make a meritorious service, the king ordered: "Except for the Sultan's guards, the rest of the troops should cross the river in batches!" VII 5

Madurai soldiers carried countless small sampans and rowed in a mess.

The artillery of the Jin army was firing at the enemy's ships on the lake with all their might, and they could not spare the energy to shell the river-crossing troops.

Soon two groups of enemy troops successfully crossed the river, both of which were improvised urban troops. The officers were from the Kshatriya caste, and the soldiers were the Vaishyas and Shudras of the city, and the officers were quite complete

The sub-armament, but the soldiers' weapons are varied.

mouth

This kind of temporary force, which had not fought a single battle, had only trained for ten days before being taken out of the city by the Sultan to fight.

If there are really tens of thousands of garrisons in the city, Zhao Kuangbiao's brain is in the water, so he will send hundreds of people to besiege the city.

The enemy who successfully crossed the river soon approached nearly 1,000, but Weng Yingji didn't pay attention to it, and even let the enemy army come to fight more. In his eyes, there is no army in front of him, and there is a shortage of soldiers and armor

Not to mention the chaos after going ashore, the Kshatriya officers could not even form a team quickly.

Of course, it was impossible to form a whole team, and when the boats crossed the river, they were in a mess, and after they came ashore, they were all in disarray.

They organized their troops according to the neighborhoods, the Vaishyas junior officers, who managed a bunch of known Shudras. These Vaishyas were then managed by mid- and high-ranking Kshatriya officers. When the whole team basically didn't look at the flag, they shouted to find acquaintances first.

The first 1,000 enemy troops crossed the river, and when the second group of soldiers had landed, they had not yet fully formed their formation.

After crossing the river of more than 3,000 men, Madurai's army finally moved, and the team of more than 1,000 people circled the east side of the camp, as if intending to attack from both sides. Jen 1

At this time, if Sun Kewang's cavalry did not go downstream to cross the river, but directly killed and charged, I am afraid that a single shot could crush the enemy.

Weng Yingzhi said: "One post, two sentry, attack from the east gate of the camp!"

Nearly two hundred musketeers, receiving orders, immediately set off.

They had loaded their ammunition, left the camp, and quickly completed their formation, listening to the whistle and slowly advancing.

The enemy, numbering more than a thousand, was coming around, and the formation was scattered during the march. Seeing the Han army coming, he hurriedly stopped his formation, holding various cold weapons and waiting for the battle.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two sides closed the distance, the first row of 50 flintlock muskets fired, and before the second row could fire bullets, the more than 1,000 Madurai troops were crushed.

Kshatriya officers took the lead in fleeing, not to mention the improvised militia, and even Kshatriya officers had never been on the battlefield. Here, there has been no war for more than 30 years, even a portrait

I can't find any kind of general!

'Get on the bayonet!'

The high-pitched and piercing charge horn sounded, and the Han army, which was less than 200, rushed to the river with more than 1,000 routs.

"Three sentinels, four sentinels, kill from the south gate of the camp!"

By this time, Weng Yingji still had reserves.

The rout, who were chased by the first and second sentinels, had already caused a chain reaction before they approached the riverbank. At this time, more than 1,000 enemy troops were in formation, and hundreds more had just come ashore.

Seeing the friendly forces fleeing, the soldiers who had just landed on the shore immediately took a boat and fled.

Seeing this, the three and four sentinels immediately seized the opportunity, and did not bother to line up, so they formed a group of five nearby, and rushed over with flintlock muskets.

The gap between the military organizations of the two sides is too great.

3]

With just a few orders, the Han Chinese army could quickly form a group of five. And Madurai's provisional army, the whole team has to be in good shape for a long time, and once it is in chaos, it will not be able to command.

"Bang bang bang!

A group of more than 30 five-man people, as soon as they approached, fired freely, and then rushed forward with bayonets.

The 4,000 enemy troops who had already crossed the river were all dispersed in a matter of minutes. They did not dare to fight with the Han Chinese, but they robbed the boats with themselves, and a large number of small boats were overturned, and the river was trampled

A lot of trampling to death.

When Sultan Udaji saw this, his lungs were about to explode.

He himself rode to the river, shouting, "All back, reorganize the crossing!" Don't just pass through here, go downstream to cross the river first, and then attack in formation

Enemy camps!

The Sultan's personal guards hurriedly followed, and more than a dozen elephant soldiers stood by in place.

The river had long been in chaos, and thousands of small boats were at a loss for what to do, and finally rowed out in a chaotic manner to their own positions.

"Dada-da-da!"

In the midst of this chaos, Sun Kewang came with three hundred cavalry. They took off all their armor and crossed the river with their horses in single clothes, and then went upstream regardless of life and death

Charge.

Nearly 10,000 enemy troops were in chaos along the river, and there were even soldiers who did not return from the boats.

These guys have long been frightened birds, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they subconsciously turned around and fled, and Sun Kewang's cavalry was still two miles away from them.

"Array, array!"

The commander of Madurai's army is a veteran of the Nayak Civil War.

Seeing that the temporarily conscripted army could not be commanded, he immediately rushed to Udaji: "Your Majesty, let the Sultan Guards and the militia distance themselves, and don't be overwhelmed by the rout."

Udaji panicked: "You come to command!"

The veteran still knew how to fight, leading his cavalry to slash and slash the routs along the way, escorting the king and the Sultan's guard from the battlefield.

Seeing that the Sultan's guards were not in chaos, Sun Ke simply ignored them and went straight towards nearly 10,000 defeated soldiers. Three hundred Han cavalry, nearly 10,000 routs were killed, and some of them were heading towards the city

Running in the direction, some of the routs were so frightened that they jumped directly into the river. Jen 2]

On Weng's side, more than 400 infantrymen were already crossing the river in small boats.

"Your Majesty, go back to the city, you can't fight anymore!" The veteran said. mouth

But Udaji was not reconciled: "My Sultan Guard has more than 1,000 men, hundreds of musketeers, and elephant soldiers have not been dispatched. Even if the militia is dispersed, we will outnumber the enemy

Excellent!" 5

The veteran said, "Your Majesty, your Sultan's guards have been frightened!" Jen 1

Udaji turned around and looked, and sure enough, when he saw his guard soldiers, they all turned pale with fright.

These Sultan Guards, all Kshatriyas.

I usually bully the old people, but I basically don't train much, and I haven't really fought. Seeing that the battlefield was full of routs, even if they had the advantage of troops, they did not dare to go up at all

Go to war.

"Back to the city!" Udaji gritted his teeth and said.

The king ran fast with his guards, and Sun Kewang's cavalry was separated by the rout, and he could not pursue them for a while. He simply chased the chariot and routed the army back to the city, but saw that the gate of the city was closed

, even the rout was blocked outside the city.

After rounding to hunt down the Sultan, the Sultan had already returned to the city with his guards, leaving only a dozen war elephants roaming the battlefield. Jen 3]

The main battlefield was completely dispersed, and the Madurai naval army also retreated.

About an hour later, the Sultan sent an emissary to sue for peace.

Weng presided over the negotiations and signed an alliance under the city, and the two sides bargained, and the Madurai state would rather lose more money and grain than be a vassal state of the Jin state. Jen 1]

The treaty reads as follows:

First, within 10 years, the two countries will remain at peace.

Second, the Sultan's younger sister married Zhao Kuangbiao, the king of Jin, as a concubine.

Third, this time the Jin State sent troops, and the Madurai State bore all military expenses.

Fourth, Madurai State compensated the Jin State with 5,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver. 1]

Sultan Udaji looted the whole city for gold and silver, and finally sent the Jin army away, standing on the city wall at a loss, he didn't even understand how he was defeated.

By the way, the Sultan's sister was taken away directly by the Han army.

It wasn't until a few days later that the army of King Qin of Madurai came late. The local nobles, all loyal and brave, clamored to kill the past and avenge the Sultan

Enmity. [4]

The Sultan looked at these fellows and wanted to pick up his knife and cut them all.

After thinking about it, I felt bored again. Jen 1

The young sultan returned to the palace and began to indulge in pleasures, and it seemed that he was ready to lie down for the rest of his life. Jen 2]
