Ma Yi's king, Ma Lisabang, was a very ambitious county lord, he was the first to learn the political system of the Central Plains Dynasty in Middle-earth, and strengthened his centralized power through continuous feudal power and land division, he was very good at learning various foreign techniques, and was also one of the first countries to learn iron-making technology from the Great Song Dynasty.

Not only did he have a powerful army, but he also had a sea power that no one else could match, and his approach was to organize the entire Luzon island of Barangei, and from the seventh century, people from the Malay Peninsula continued to cross the sea to the island of Luzon, and they took the ship Barangei.

After settling on the land, their form of social organization was dominated by the barangei, which was equivalent to a village and a village, with each barangai ranging from ten to twenty-five households, and he was the most basic social form of the entire Luzon people.

In wartime, each barangei had to produce ten to fifteen young warriors, bringing their own weapons and food, to fight for the king, and the families of the warriors would be exempted from conscription and taxation for one to two years in the days to come.

The same is true of his maritime army, for the whole of Luzon is still a relatively large population that lives by fishing, and in time of war every Barangai must send a ship capable of carrying twenty to thirty warriors to fight for the king, and they will also be exempt from conscription and taxes.

It was this kind of military organization that enabled the entire Ma Yi to force the originally dominant Luzon Kingdom to the northernmost corner, almost unifying the entire Luzon Island, and now the Luzon Kingdom is also a vassal to him, paying tribute to him every year, and he will free up his hands to deal with the Sulu King and the Sulimantan Kingdom in the south.

When the entire Sulu country officially fell to Xiao Ming, Suleiman Island fell immediately, and at this time the king of the Ma Yi Kingdom adopted a strategy of striking first, Ma Lisa is not a brainless person, during this time, Xiao Ming's fleet has destroyed countless countries, never suffered defeat, the strong force can be seen, he is not crazy enough to hit the stone with an egg.

He just wants to take the initiative to attack, so that Xiao Ming can see his force, and then it is better than Xiao Ming to make peace, so that he can at least occupy a little advantageous position, because he does not want to be destroyed or become a puppet of the Song Dynasty, and his force comes from his sea power.

And his sea power is his hundreds of paddle sailing ships learned from the Arabs, such paddle boats can carry at least a hundred or more prize men per ship, and these prize men are also warriors, and in naval warfare, such paddle ships adopt a mode of broadside warfare, through the way of broadside landing on other people's ships for white-knuckle warfare!

Due to the relatively small number of combatants that can be carried on the general warship, most of them are sailors and operators, once they are shipped, the slurry ship can transport a large number of fighters on board at one time, and form a many-to-few attack on the target ship in a very short time, so in naval battles, they can often win.

This mode of warfare was soon borrowed from the past by the pirate gangs, so the robbery of merchant ships often appeared in such small and large slurry ships, and most of the pirates were cruel and murderous gangsters. robbers and thieves and the like, so hijacked merchant ships often have their crews and sailors killed.

In view of the greedy nature of pirates, after they grabbed ships and goods, they did not completely burn the robbed ships, but were reluctant to burn some large ships, but bought and sold them through the country of Mayi, so that the ships circulated, and finally let others know about the piracy, so that it caused public outrage.

In recent years, because of the vigorous development of overseas trade in the Great Song Dynasty, the pirates have also set their sights directly on these ships of the Great Song Dynasty, and the more serious losses are the porcelain trading ships in Quanzhou Port, and the porcelain trade is the most important part of Xiao Ming's overseas trade.

This incident is undoubtedly the fuse of Xiao Ming's expedition to Nanyang, and now Ma Lisa Bang not only reflects on this matter, but also takes the initiative to attack Xiao Ming, which is undoubtedly the most stupid act that touched Xiao Ming's anger.

But the king of Ma Lisa Bang didn't think so, anyway, they all thought about their own things, since things always inevitably happened, no matter what, they couldn't hide, so Ma Lisa Bang gathered at least ** hundred ships of all kinds, and the main force was still dominated by two hundred pulp boats, and launched an attack on Xiao Ming's fleet.

The battle began with their first attack on Xiao Ming's transport and supply ship, a large sea ship specializing in transporting coal of 500 materials was robbed, and Ma Lisa Bang found that this ship was completely transporting this ship of black stones, and later knew that it was coal, and also knew that Xiao Ming might not have enough fuel, so he became even more rampant.

After Xiao Ming got the news, he ordered forty-seven warships, evenly distributed coal and fuel to the thirty-five warships of the main force, and then all set off, he first used two sail merchant ships carrying supplies as bait, and traveled between the entire Xisha Islands and Sulu on the route, waiting for Ma Yi's sailors to take the bait.

The ant water army really took the bait, they dispatched fifty pulp boats and more than 2,000 people began to surround the two merchant ships, Xiao Ming after receiving the report of the hot air balloon, ordered the attack, due to the speed of Xiao Ming's warship, first of all, several light clippers rushed to the battlefield, and in the two merchant ships as bait, Xiao Ming ambushed five hundred tiger guard sailors.

Dozens of slurry boats rowed hard around the merchant ship, but saw countless heads suddenly emerge from the merchant ship, with an order, dense gunshots rang out, and the Ma Yi Navy only saw bursts of white smoke suddenly rising on the side of the other ship, and then the people around them fell into the water ordinarily, and many people were opened with several blood holes!

Although frightened and hit by the head, these Ma Yi sailors still braved their lives to row forward, but as they gradually got closer to the merchant ships, more and more people died, and the water was densely covered with corpses! The crowd finally couldn't stand it anymore, and many people began to row back and run away, but by this time it was too late!

With the sudden rumbling sound in his ears, a column of water suddenly soared to the sky, and then there was a slurry boat was hit, and the splash of wood chips and blood droplets almost hit the bombed and sunken slurry boat turned around and ran, but how can it be so easy, the long slurry boat, going straight is quite fast, but it is indeed very difficult to turn.

But these people are obviously well-trained, and they immediately turned their bodies and rowed backwards, then the stern of the boat became the bow, so that they did not run slowly, Xiao Ming's original intention was to annihilate the other party, but seeing that there were only dozens of not too big slurry boats, he gave up the plan of total annihilation and ordered his subordinates to follow and pursue.

So all the warships hung the fleeing slurry boats, and slowly followed, whether to put a cannon behind their buttocks, let the explosion and the huge waves drive them away, and the frightened people rowed desperately, their chests were almost out of breath, and they were almost tired and vomited blood, and they still couldn't shake off the pursuers behind them.

These ships circled around the archipelago to the north, always trying to get rid of Xiao Ming's pursuers, and finally they got into the inner side of a narrow peninsula and disappeared, and the direction of the Sulu State that followed the ship said to Xiao Ming: "By the way, that is the largest naval base in Mayi, Pulilu!" It is the largest military base in the state of Maquesa.

Then what is polite, Xiao Ming ordered all of them to be charged, and thirty-five warships rushed up with black smoke, and after turning the corner of the peninsula, from a distance, the large slurry warships of the ant army finally set out, this is more than a dozen row-of-oars warships are two stories high, and the bottom layer is densely covered with paddling huge pulp!

If you look closely, there are all soldiers standing on the second floor, holding swords, spears and bows and arrows, and all of them have expressions of full attention in Xiao Ming's binoculars.

Since it was a decisive battle, there was nothing polite to do, Xiao Ming ordered the formation, and then fired freely! Then he found a chair and sat there watching the battle slowly with a telescope! However, Gu Xiaoliu behind him was a little nervous when he saw such a big battle.

Of course, Xiao Ming has reason to be confident, the giant slurry ship, a famous Arab warship, will have a very tragic fate after encountering the Western Galen warship with strong ships and guns, not to mention the Chinese battleship built by Xiao Ming! , this is almost a technological superiority, and the technological backwardness that is ahead of centuries can only be beaten!

Gunfire! Smoke! Explode! In the 12th century, the Inland Sea Strait of the Philippine Islands was constantly repeated, and the battle was one-sided at the beginning, Xiao Ming had foreseen the consequences, he just stayed to see the scene of the entire naval battle, which was the fiercest naval battle that this fleet had fought since the southern expedition.

……

The whole naval battle was over after a total of one meal, the large slurry ships were basically all sunk, and the medium-sized slurry ships were not spared, and there were countless people who fell into the water, Jiaolong took the lead in sailing over, and the warships that were not sunk by the shells were sunk from the side with a ramming angle, and began to bombard the entire Pulilu port!

Leaving those remnants of small slurry boats to rescue people on the water, Xiao Ming commanded the fleet to continuously fire cannons towards the port, and all the large and medium-sized ships parked there were sunk! The fire directly enveloped the entire Pulilu harbor! The Sulu guide who accompanied the ship was still the minister of the kingdom, and after watching this situation, he was already speechless with shock.

Sulu has suffered the loss of the Ma Yi Navy, because the ships are not as good as others, every time they are beaten very badly, the Ma Yi Navy, can be described as the most powerful navy of this generation! Such a huge fleet of pulp discharge ships was wiped out in front of his eyes! The guide was glad that the Sulu Kingdom did not provoke Xiao Ming, otherwise it would probably be the Sulu Kingdom that would be the first to be unlucky.

There is no such thing as surrendering after such a battle, Xiao Ming almost completely destroyed the entire port, and those who fell into the water had a good water nature, and wanted to climb Xiao Ming's warship, but they were quickly shot dead by the tiger guard, and they had to swim towards their own small row.

As the sun set blood, fire and smoke enveloped the port of Pulilu, the book army of Mali Sabang could be said to be completely wiped out, and Xiao Ming turned around the next day and headed for Mara Harbor, the capital of the kingdom of Mayi, which is later Manila! He wants to see King Ma Yi officially surrender, otherwise he will completely destroy the entire Ma Yi Kingdom.

The scale of Mara Harbor is much smaller than Xiao Ming's, it is already rumors here, Xiao Ming's fleet braved the billowing smoke and approached Mara Harbor, the procedure is still the same as before, first a burst of artillery preparation, and then the rear water division bravely landed, and finally a large number of Tiger Guard Water Division went ashore, unloaded all the artillery equipment in the opening landing field, and then advanced inland.

The tiger guards sent to the palace to capture the king pounced, the king of Macasa Bang actually fled, more than a dozen ministers knelt on the stone platform in front of the palace and surrendered to the tiger guards, these people were arrested first, Xiao Ming commanded the staff to go to the palace first, and then he sent two regiments of troops to attack the capital of Luzon, Apari City, as long as this last city is scooped, Xiao Ming's entire southern expedition task will be completely completed!
