Watching the dim sunset staggering and finally disappearing between the blue heaven and earth, Zhu Zhantan saw that the last ray of sunlight was like a broken and broken treasure knife, emitting the last bit of light in the muddy black curtain.

"Your Majesty," Zhu Zhantan, who was obsessively looking at the distance, suddenly heard a soft call in his ears, and couldn't help but turn his head, just as he saw Fan Buddha leaning in front of him.

"Oh, His Highness Fan Fo." Zhu Zhantan looked a little absent-minded, but just responded lightly.

"Fan has affected His Majesty and Funanguo, he really deserves death." Fan Buddha suddenly knelt down in front of Zhu Zhantan and kowtowed repeatedly.

In a sense, it was indeed the Linyi State that dragged Funan into the war with the Huaxia, and after the defeat of Anu Mountain, the noble generals of Funan and other subject countries pointed the finger at the "disaster star" Fan Fo, because they did not dare to accuse Zhu Zhantan, so they had to move their anger away. The king of Chenla, who had always supported and supported Van Buddha, was also not quiet, because in the Battle of Anu Mountain, the Chenla army also suffered heavy losses, and Sarivaman had to take care of the resentment of his nobles and generals.

When a ragged left-behind nobleman from Funan rushed into the camp to report to Zhu Zhantan that the city of Viyata Buluo had been captured by the Chinese, the camp was suddenly blown up, and many nobles and generals even demanded that the heads of Fan Fo and his son be exchanged for the understanding of the Chinese. Fortunately, Zhu Zhantan did not take this suggestion after coming back to his senses, but withdrew from the camp without saying a word, which made Fan Fo and his son hacked to death on the spot.

"It's none of your business." Zhu Zhantan waved his hand and said, "The Chinese people are going south to occupy the South China Sea, and the first one is, of course, you Champa, because the Cham guards the sea lane." It also has a water division. However, Funan is a strong country in the South China Sea, and the Chinese people are dyed in the sea, so they will naturally regard you and me as the biggest thorn in their eyes, and they will definitely get rid of them first and then quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhantan came over and helped Fan Buddha up. I saw that Fan Fo, who raised his head, had a face full of mud. And it was washed into traces by tears.

After a long pause, Zhu Zhantan said slowly: "The South China Sea is rich and vast, and it is our home, but the Chinese people are a land full of gold, and a delicious food full of aroma. ”

"Greedy, brutal, cunning. Able to fight well. Robbers should have the quality of the Chinese people, are they really the people of the previous Celestial Empire? Zhu Zhantan looked at Fan Fo, who had already stood up, and asked.

Fan Buddha shook his head, although he is a devout Brahmin, but his father was transformed from a slave to a Cham king by spreading the culture of the Celestial Empire, and Cham is located in the transit route connecting the South China Sea and China, so Fan Buddha is not only familiar with Sanskrit, but also proficient in Chinese, and has a certain understanding of this large country in the north. In his mind, the people of the Celestial Empire are a group of people who value fame over fortune. As long as these "extreme vanity" seekers feel very good-looking, you can exchange a little "tribute" for a boatload of fine porcelain, silk and tea. But you can't find a trace of anything similar in the group of Chinese people in front of you, they are frantically waging war with the Champa country, just for the purpose of plundering the wealth of the Cham and occupying the land of the Cham country. They still have a little bit of the temperament of the Celestial Empire.

Just as Fan Buddha thought. Zhu Zhantan took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, and Fan Buddha took it and looked at it suspiciously. I saw a line of big characters written on it: "Jingluo Nanhai 檄", and the bottom is densely packed with words. Fan Buddha read it carefully, there are things he is very familiar with in this text, the structure is magnificent, the momentum is magnificent, the vocabulary is gorgeous, and the charm of these great fu once made Fan Buddha very obsessed, because compared with these Han Fu, Brahmin poetry is more like a children's rhyme.

In this essay of more than 1,000 words, Huaxia recounts the heinous crimes of Fan Fodi's father, Fan Wen, invading the Nine Truths, slaughtering the city and plundering the territory, and the real "common anger of people and gods". And now it is time for reckoning, and the Cham must atone for their sins with interest, so it is a matter of course that the Cham kingdom will be destroyed; The crime of Funandi is to support the Champa invasion of Jiuzhen Jiaozhou, and in the text of the Chinese people, the Funan people are the instigators behind the "invasion" and "massacre" of Jiaozhou several times, and they are involved in it anyway. In the inscription, the Huaxia also put another big hat on the Funan people - the largest pirate country.

In the waters of Gorofusa (Malacca), the pirates of the kingdoms of Dan and Banda (both ancient kingdoms of the Malay Peninsula) were rampant, plundering ships of the Middle Thien (present-day Indus Valley), Piu (most of present-day Burma), Shizi (present-day Sri Lanka), Bori (in present-day Bali, east of Java), and Dunsun (also known as Dian Sun, in present-day Tanah Sarin, Burma). Of course, the wealthy Chinese sea ships could not escape the catastrophe and were looted many times.

As the saying goes, there is a debtor, and all the accounts of the pirates in the Korofusha Sea are counted on the head of Funan, because it is the largest power in the South China Sea and the suzerainty of Dandan and Banda. With this big hat buttoned down, the fate set by the Chinese people for Funan is not much better than that of the Cham country, and it is calculated in this way that other Funan subject countries such as Dandan, Banyue, and Zhenla will inevitably be famous, and they are all the targets of the Chinese people's "South China Sea Economic Strategy" action.

Seeing the end, Fan Fo's hand couldn't help but tremble, what kind of bandit logic is this? Just because Funan is the suzerainty of the South China Sea, so all these things happen in Funan must be held responsible, you must know that those pirates in Gorofusha do not recognize any suzerain, and Funan and Cham have also been ransacked.

Fan Buddha originally felt guilty about Funan suffering a heavy blow from the Chinese people, because in his opinion, it was he and the Cham country that dragged Funan into the disaster of war, and the Funan country was forced to stand on his side for the honor of the suzerainty of the South China Sea, igniting the war with the Chinese people, because the relationship between Funan and the Cham country was not friendly, and even the Cham country relied on its own sailors to be strong, and did not take the southern Funan country in his eyes. But now it seems that I really thought wrong.

"To be a suzerain, to be a suzerain, is to assume the responsibility of a suzerain, and since we are the suzerains of the South China Sea, we must be responsible for what happens in this region." Zhu Zhantan looked at the text in Fan Fo's hand and smiled bitterly. Although Zhu Zhantan is not as proficient in Chinese as Fan Fo, he also knows a few Chinese characters to some extent, and there are already courtiers who are proficient in Chinese who have translated the meaning of the Chinese text.

"Your Majesty!" There was silence for a long time. Fan Fo finally spoke.

"His Highness Fan Fo. Needless to say. Zhu Zhantan shook his head and said, "The Huaxia people are ready to turn the South China Sea into their lake, and you and I can't escape an end." ”

Fan Buddha fell into a deep silence again, yes, this time the Chinese people will definitely not go south in order to make Funan and other countries bow down. The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people and thousands of sea vessels, the tactics and tactics of slowly advancing, and this majestic, beautiful but wordless and murderous inscription all show that the Chinese are ready to include the South China Sea in their territory this time. Under such circumstances, can the royal families and nobles of the South China Sea countries get out of the game?

The next day, when Fan Buddha woke up and visited Zhu Zhantan again. The king of Funan is wearing armor. A elephant skin horn hanging iron armor flashed with silver-white light, highlighting Zhu Zhantan's noble identity. The armor in the South China Sea is mostly leather armor, at most decorated with some gold, silver, copper and iron pieces, because in this kind of weather in the South China Sea, wearing the heavy armor of the infantry army standard of the Chinese army, it will be steamed by heat and sweat before the battle starts.

When Fan Fo in armor walked into the bamboo and wood tent, the neatly draped Zhu Zhantan was wiping two long knives, the black body of the knife showed its heavy weight, and the shining silver white of the stars showed its sharpness. Funan long knife is three fingers wide. The blade is nearly a meter, and the handle is longer than the ordinary handle, and it is made of real wax pig iron.

"I haven't used this knife in a long time." Zhu Zhantan carefully wiped the knife in his hand, no, it should be said that he stroked the knife in his hand affectionately.

Fan Buddha couldn't help but be stunned. Then he continued: "Your Majesty's bravery and Kui Jialuo's sharpness will surprise the Chinese people. "Kui Jia Luo is the name of the knife in Zhu Zhantan's hand. Sanskrit means tiger's teeth. And Zhu Zhantan can let the Funan Kingdom continue to maintain the status of the suzerainty of dozens of South China Sea countries, which shows that he is not in vain, and the land in his hands Kui Jia Luo has made many people tremble.

"Please let Fan Fo follow His Majesty." Fan Foo finally said.

Zhu Zhantan smiled after listening to it and didn't make a sound. Just nodded with tears in his eyes. After a while, when the tears on Zhu Zhantan's face had dried up, the ground in his hand was also shiny. Zhu Zhantan then put on the disc iron helmet in his hand, turned his head to Fan Buddha and said, "Let's go." ”

The war elephant slowly advanced, and although it was a little bumpy to sit on it, it was acceptable, and Fan Buddha had a solemn expression on his face, as if he went to the temple of Brahma every year. His son, Fan Hu, sat grimly on the war elephant behind him, and before leaving, he quietly asked his father if he should flee southwest if he was defeated. Who knows, but got a cold sentence: "Do you think we can still escape?" ”

Fan Hu's face had no other expression except coldness, but Fan Buddha didn't pay attention to it at all, his gaze was fixed on the distance. In the distance, a majestic and mighty war elephant slowly marched forward in front of the hug, its blanket and gold decoration indicating the identity of its owner, and around it stood more than 300 Kunga guards, Sanskrit means weevil warriors, these bald-headed, bare-armed, carrying long swords of the samurai are the most courageous warriors in Funan, their task is to protect the war elephants, they are the most reliable armor of the war elephants.

Both sides already understood what the other side meant, so they didn't have much to say, and the 50,000 Huaxia Army and the 30,000 Funan Coalition Army quickly fought together. Although Zhu Zhantan and others have the heart to die, it does not mean that all the soldiers of the Funan Coalition Army have this idea. Not long after the battle began, the kings and nobles of the Jin neighbors on the left raised the white flags that had been prepared long ago, because they were no longer willing to fight for the "brutal" Funan king Zhu Zhantan, and thousands of Jin neighbor soldiers surrendered and began to attack the nearby Funan coalition forces. The surrender of the Jin neighbors opened the prelude to the end of the entire war, and the main force of the left flank, the Zhenla army, was the first to be affected. Seeing that the Jin neighbors, who had just been comrades-in-arms, suddenly became enemies, and more Huaxia troops began to surround themselves from this gap, the Zhenla army, which had been heavily damaged in the last battle, began to rout.

The commander of the left wing of the coalition army, King Khalivaman commanded the guards to desperately suppress the Chenla army that was beginning to rout, but his majesty was not as effective as the impact of the Sendai soldiers of the Huaxia army, so Khalivaman began to order the slashing of the defeated generals and soldiers, but the swords of him and his guards were not as sharp as the Sendai soldiers, and the panicked Chenla army converged into a torrent in the rout. Soon the lonely Khalivarman was overwhelmed.

Along the rout of the left flank. The Sendai soldiers, the right vanguard of the Huaxia Army, rushed into the central army of the Funan Coalition Army, and they saw the military flag of Zhu Zhantan, and also saw the golden war elephant under his seat. Although the temptation of victory made the eyes of these Sendai soldiers red, the strict training and discipline kept them from confusion, and they still lined up in dense battle formations. Rush towards the coalition forces. Wielding steel swords, they formed teams of three or five, coordinated with each other, formed thousands of battle groups, and slaughtered the coalition forces like a rain of arrows.

The Chinese army is the elite army of Funan, and they wield long knives and grit their teeth to meet the Sendai soldiers. It can become the suzerainty of the South China Sea. It is because Funan has a fierce army. They used to make dozens of disobedient subjects very honest. When they encountered the equally fierce Sendai soldiers, a fierce battle was inevitable.

The Funan Army and the Sendai Army were not tall, and they were both considered thin, especially the Funan Army, the long blades in their hands may be wider and longer than their arms, so they appear even thinner. But no one knows how much courage and ferocity is hidden in their thin bodies. The blood and pain only made them more excited, and they smelled the thick smell of blood, and stepped on the creaking bloody mud, and let out a burst of unknown screams. Pounce on their enemies.

The Funan army had as many as 10,000, while the Sendai army had only 3,000. Therefore, due to their tactical coordination, the Sendai soldiers maintained a certain degree of aggressiveness, but they quickly became precarious in front of the Funan Army's frantic counterattack launched by relying on the large number of people. Although they felt tremendous pressure, the Sendai soldiers, who had suffered heavy casualties, gritted their teeth and took over wave after wave of counterattacks by the Funan Army. Because they know. Just take a step back, according to the Chinese military law. They could all be beheaded, their families could be implicated, and years of struggle would come to naught.

Zhu Zhantan was shocked by the tenacity of the Sendai soldiers, so he ordered the entire Chinese army to press on and attack the Sendai soldiers with all their might, in order to defeat the Sendai soldiers, and then follow the rout to attack the Huaxia military position, just like the Sendai soldiers killed just now.

When less than half of the Sendai soldiers were left, and the willpower reached the last moment, a support army finally rushed over. With the cooperation of 4,000 Tosa, the 3,000 Owari soldiers finally made a gap in the army of the territory country and the wolftooth country that were ordered to block the gap in the left flank, and the Tosa soldiers stayed behind to continue to attack the Panpan army and the wolftooth army, but the Owari soldiers attacked all the way to support the Sendai soldiers, because in the combat tactics of the Huaxia army, expanding the breakthrough must be a priority.

With the support of 3,000 fresh troops, the Sendai soldiers immediately thwarted the attack of the Funan army, because in the battle with the Sendai soldiers, the Funan army also lost more than 2,000 men and was exhausted. Zhu Zhantan immediately made a decision, and immediately commanded the Chinese army to stabilize first, and not let the Huaxia army advance again, otherwise he would be killed by the Huaxia army, and the morale of other places would be too great. The Sendai soldiers and the Owari soldiers joined forces, and although they stabilized the breakthrough, they were unable to defeat the Funan Army, which still had as many as 8,000 troops, and the battle situation of the Chinese army suddenly became a stalemate.

At this moment, a sound of neat footsteps came from the right, and Zhu Zhantan turned his head to look and found that rows of Huaxia troops holding spears were slowly moving forward. This army is different from the Sendai soldiers who just killed the Funan coalition army, they are like a moving forest of spears, and this forest of guns will eat people. In the sound of commands, the Huaxia army neatly stabbed the spears in their hands, regardless of whether there was an enemy in front of them, and the stabs were stabbed out one after another, like the waves of the sea, making the enemies in front of them unable to resist the spears from all directions, and finally fell in a pool of blood, what made Zhu Zhantan even more depressed was that from time to time a rain of arrows would fly out from the back of the gun forest, shooting his own soldiers on their backs.

The Sendai soldiers and Owari soldiers couldn't help but burst into cheers, they knew that this was the Qingzhou soldiers on the left flank, the pikemen at the front were the Tiger Spear Battalion, and the arrow rain at the back supported the Marksman Battalion. This kind of skillful formation and coordination of arms has very strict requirements for the quality of individual soldiers, the degree of training, and the observance of discipline, and only prefectures and counties like Qingzhou, which have been trained under the military system of the Zeng clan for more than ten years, can take such government soldiers, while these new attached prefectures and counties in Changzhou rely more on the quality and ferocity of individual soldiers. However, the Sendai soldiers and Owari soldiers also knew that no matter how brave and fierce they were, they would not be able to stop it for long in this surging and unstoppable rain of guns and arrows, and if they met more powerful Guanlongfu soldiers, they would die faster.

Zhu Zhantan looked at it for a while and secretly complained. If the Sendai soldier just now was just a poisonous snake. Fast and vicious, if you are not careful, you will be bitten, this Huaxia army killed from the right is like a dragon breathing fire, it does not move fast, but it spews out flames that can burn all obstacles in front of it.

It didn't take long. The Huaxia Qingzhou government soldiers tore a huge hole in the right flank of the Funan coalition army, and as more and more follow-up troops appeared, this gap became bigger and bigger, and soon affected the Chinese army.

Due to the all-out counterattack against the Sendai soldiers just now, the center of gravity of the Chinese army was concentrated on the left flank, so when the Qingzhou soldiers broke through the defense line of the right flank of the Panda and other armies, the Chinese army of the coalition army was exposed to them at once. did not wait for Zhu Zhantan to order. The Funan King's Guard bravely rushed forward. But in two or three rounds, he was pierced into a bloody man. Seeing this scene, hundreds of Kunjia Husha of Funan and Cham shrank their forces and tightly surrounded Zhu Zhantan, Fan Fo, and Fan Hu in the middle.

"Your Highness Fan Fo, we still lost." Zhu Zhantan turned his head and said to Fan Fo.

"Your Majesty, I already knew the result." Fan Buddha replied with an unchanged expression.

"That's good." Zhu Zhantan smiled and nodded, his eyes kept looking behind Fan Fo, and he also saw Fan Hu, whose face would turn white and blue for a while, but Zhu Zhantan didn't make a sound.

The Huaxia Qingzhou soldiers soon surrounded them. Kunga Protector also clenched the long knife in his hand, and even sweated. These kunga guards belonged to the king's guards, who had been passed down from generation to generation and had been rigorously trained since childhood, fighting, fighting, and armouring. It wasn't until he was eighteen years old that he could officially become a Kunga sand protector after a rigorous assessment. They stood beside the king's elephants, using their long knives and flesh to block any attacks that might endanger them. And the Kunjia sand protection in Funan is famous in the South China Sea. In one battle, Zhu Zhantan, who was ambushed, was protected by 200 Kunga guards and attacked by more than 3,000 people unscathed, but instead routed the enemy army.

At this time, many Funan troops also left from the left flank and joined the ranks of protecting His Majesty's land. Huaxia Jun walked very close, and he could almost hear the other party's gasp. Under the vigilance of the Funan Army, a password suddenly came from the Huaxia Army, and with this password, the spearmen of the Huaxia Army squatted on the ground with bloody spears. Zhu Zhantan and the others, who had an open line of sight, suddenly saw a dense crowd of Huaxia sergeants, but they were all holding a black thing in their hands.

"Huaxia military crossbowmen!" Fan Fo, who had been defeated many times in front of the Huaxia army, recognized it and couldn't help but let out an exclamation. This powerful Chinese crossbow was very terrifying, it not only shot far, but also extremely powerful, Fan Fo saw with his own eyes that the iron arrow shot straight out of this crossbow effortlessly penetrated the body of the first person, and then plunged headlong into the body of the second person, and finally even the tail of the arrow was deeply sunk in the flesh and blood.

Before Zhu Zhantan could listen to Fan Fo's explanation, he only heard a loud buzzing sound, and a black cloud flew over. Zhu Zhantan involuntarily raised the Kui Jia Luo in his hand, as if he wanted to use it to block the black iron arrow. But the sharp Kuigalo did not play any role in the rain of arrows, and the three iron arrows pierced into Zhu Zhantan's body effortlessly. Blood flowed out of the blood groove on the shaft of the arrow, and Zhu Zhantan felt that his life had also flowed away. He struggled to hold Quigalo tighter, but Quigalo seemed to grow farther and farther away from him, heavier and colder.

Zhu Zhantan, who felt dizzy, saw that Fan Fo's body was full of arrows, and he seemed to be very difficult to reach out to himself, trying to hold himself, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still trying to hold Kui Jialuo, Zhu Zhantan wanted to reach out and hold Fan Fo, who seemed to be not far away. Behind Fan Fo, Zhu Zhantan saw Fan Hu standing up on the war elephant, waving a white cloth, I don't know if it was his turban or pants, but Fan Hu's actions didn't seem to have any effect at all, but instead attracted more arrow rain, and after a while, he was surrounded by iron arrows with his elephant.

Zhu Zhantan heard the chaotic screams, as well as the name of Kunga Husha shouting loudly, Zhu Zhantan wanted to respond, but felt that his last bit of strength had been far away from him, and the Kuigalo in his hand suddenly let go, and slid along the elephant's back to the ground. Kui Jia Luo has been following Zhu Zhan Tan for more than ten years, he can clearly feel the trajectory of the knife's fall, and when Zhu Zhan Tan swallows his last breath, he can clearly see Kui Jia Luo, this treasure knife that made countless people in the South China Sea tremble straight into the dirt, and then it was covered by panicked footsteps and falling corpses.
