(I checked the map again, it¡¯s a bit embarrassing, the cities of Tanjore and Madurai are not close to the sea, but they are located in the lower reaches of the two rivers, and there is still a distance from the mouth of the sea
Procedure. The data map Lao Wang used was wrong, and he forgot to compare it with the modern map, so let's just look at it. ) Jen 8
In the world, there is something called "India time". It is magical, mysterious and mysterious, unpredictable and elusive. Jen 5]
Under the tandem of the Dutch, the various forces made an appointment to send troops immediately after the rainy season.
But after the rainy season, King Madurai began to gather troops. Orders spread to cities and villages, military nobles went about their affairs slowly, officers and soldiers slowly assembled. drag on
It's almost time to harvest the summer rice, so I will definitely harvest the grain first.
2]
At this rate, I am afraid that we will have to wait until late autumn to complete the assembly.
The fastest mover was the prince of Canmei City. These guys are nominally subordinate to Zhao Kuangbiao, and their interests are at stake, so they are very motivated, and they are busy working with the coalition forces to kill the Chinese army.
Chinese.
Whether it is Sun Kewang, an old thief, or Weng Yingqi, a general of the Datong Army, they have fought for half their lives, and now they are all wrong when they come to India!
The imagined situation did not come at all.
In this case, according to the wishes of the civil officials, it is most reasonable to clean up the princes of Canmei City first. 1]
Who would have expected it?
As the saying goes, speed is the most valuable weapon.
Zhao Kuangbiao's infantry, cavalry, and naval commanders, in order to gain more time, prepared one by one during the rainy season. The peasants in the village were whipped and faced the sun in the rain
Wucheng gathered, and even more than 20 people died of cold and fever.
When Weng Yingqi led the infantry and civilians, landed on a sea boat, and then transferred to an inland river boat to arrive outside the city of Madurai, the sultans here were scared out of their wits.
"After less than half a month's attention, why did the Chinese come here?" Sultan Udaji was completely at a loss. Jen 11
This guy is young and energetic, and somehow he still has some responsibility. He personally leads the guards to defend the city, and even mobilizes the citizens to stand up together.
As for Sun Kewang, all the cavalry under his command were lightly armored and rushed to the border with only dry food. When they saw villages, they killed people and robbed them of food. They looted several villages in a row, but they couldn't 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 comes to the Indian battlefield, is completely like a joke, all predictions¡ª¡ª all invalidated.
Sun Kewang didn't care so much, anyway, he robbed villages all the way, and killed anyone who was dressed and lived in a good house. The more Brahmins and Kshatriyas he kills, the more the base of Madurai
The more chaotic the stratum's rule, the next few years don't even think about sending troops to fight against Jin¡ª¡ª
Killing and looting all the way, Sun Kewang led the cavalry and ran to join Weng Yingqi's infantry. The King Qin's army of Madurai had not yet appeared. Jen 1]
"Between his mother, what the hell are you fighting?" Sun Kewang couldn't help scolding his mother.
3]
Weng Yingqi was also a little speechless, pointing to the city and said: "It is planned, if the enemy does not send troops, we will besiege the city and fight for reinforcements. But the enemy's reinforcements are delayed, so we are here
Wasting time? Time has dragged on for too long, what should His Royal Highness besieged in Taiwu City?" Seven 4
"How do I know?" Sun Kewang looked depressed.
At this moment, an officer came to report: "Two generals, the enemy is going out of the city to fight!
Weng Yingqi and Sun Kewang looked at each other in blank dismay, first bewildered, then overjoyed.
Several city gates opened wide, and one team after another of the enemy troops left the city.
There are even more than a dozen war elephants that are kept in the city.
Sultan Udaji also marched in person. The king was full of ambition and felt that he would win this battle.
He has more than 600 musketeers and nearly a thousand elite infantry using cold weapons.
In addition, there are hundreds of cavalry and more than ten war elephants. Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra in the city,
Some were also temporarily recruited and trained into an army of tens of thousands. In addition, there is also a navy in the lake, dispatching hundreds of inland river boats. Jen 5
On the Chinese side, only 600 infantry left the city. Of the remaining 400 infantry, 300 were left to defend the city, and 100 were scattered to manage the village.
Another 300 cavalry units and 100 naval soldiers.
Only these thousand soldiers are the real soldiers!
The rest are all Sudra civilian husbands, and more than 2,000 people have been recruited. The tasks are to transport luggage, help build camps, help soldiers wash clothes, and so on.
"Dare to come out; The difference in military organization between the two sides is too great.
3]
The Han army can quickly form a five-member team with just a few orders. As for Madurai's temporary army, the entire team will have to work hard for a long time, and once it becomes chaotic, it will be impossible to command.
"Bang bang bang bang!
More than 30 five-member teams approached and shot freely, then inserted bayonets and rushed forward.
The 4,000 enemy troops who had crossed the river were all disintegrated within a few minutes. They didn't dare to fight with the Han people, but they snatched boats from themselves fiercely.
Trampled to death a lot.
Seeing this situation, Sultan Udaji's lungs were about to explode.
He himself rushed to the river on horseback and yelled: "All come back and reorganize to cross the river! Don't just pass here, go to the downstream to cross the river first, and then go to attack after forming a formation
Enemy camp!
Sudan's personal guards hurriedly followed, and more than a dozen elephant soldiers stood by.
The river surface has long been a mess, and thousands of small boats are at a loss, and finally rowed to their own positions in a mess.
"Da da da da!"
In the midst of this chaos, Sun Kewang came to kill with three hundred cavalry. They took off all their armor, and only wore single clothes to carry their horses across the river, and then went upstream regardless of life and death
Charge.
By the river, nearly ten thousand enemy troops were in a mess, and even soldiers hadn't returned from the boat.
These guys had been frightened for a long time. When they heard the sound of horseshoes, they turned and fled subconsciously. Sun Kewang's cavalry was still two miles away from them.
"Array, array!"
The commander-in-chief of the Madurai Army is a veteran who fought in the Nayak Civil War.
Seeing that the temporarily recruited army was unable to command, he immediately rushed to Udaji: "Your Majesty, let the Sudanese Guards and the militia keep a distance, and don't be swept away by the rout.
Udaji said in a panic: "You come to take full command!
This veteran can still fight, leading the cavalry to kill the routs along the way, and escorting the king and the Sudanese guards from the battlefield.
Seeing that the Sudanese guards were still in disorder, Sun Ke simply ignored them and went straight to kill nearly ten thousand defeated soldiers. Three hundred Han cavalry, nearly 10,000 routs smashed through, and some routs moved towards the city
Running in the direction, some defeated soldiers jumped into the river in fright. Jen 2]
On Weng Yingqi's side, more than 400 infantrymen were already crossing the river in small boats.
"Your Majesty, go back to the city and stop fighting!" said the veteran. mouth
But Udaji was not reconciled: "My Sudanese guard has more than a thousand people, hundreds of musketeers, and elephant soldiers who have not been dispatched. Even if the militia collapses, we will still outnumber the enemy.
Excellent!" 5
The veteran said: "Your Majesty, your Sudanese Guards have been frightened!" Ren 1
Udaji turned around and saw his guard soldiers, all of them turned pale with fright.
These Sudanese guards are all Kshatriyas.
It is still possible to bully ordinary people, but they basically don't train much, and they have never really fought. Seeing that the battlefield is full of routs, even if they have the upper hand, they dare not go to the battlefield at all.
The king ran fast with his guards, and Sun Kewang's cavalry was separated by the rout, and they couldn't chase after him for a while. He simply chased his car back to the city, but saw that the city gate was closed
, Even the defeated soldiers were blocked outside the city.
Go around and hunt down the Sultan. The Sultan has returned to the city with his guards, leaving only a dozen war elephants wandering around the battlefield. Jen 3]
The entire army on the main battlefield collapsed, and the Madurai navy also retreated.
After about an hour, the Sultan sent an envoy to ask for peace.
Weng Yingqi presided over the negotiations, signed an alliance under the city, and the two sides bargained. Madurai would rather pay more money and food than be a vassal state of Jin. Jen 1]
The content of the treaty is as follows:
First, within ten years, the two countries will maintain peace.
Second, Sudan's younger sister, married Jin Wang Zhao Kuangbiao as his concubine.
Third, the Jin State dispatched troops this time, and the Madurai State will bear all the military expenses.
Fourth, Madurai will compensate Jin with five thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver. 1]
Sultan Udaji searched the whole city for gold and silver, and finally sent the Jin army away. He stood on the city wall at a loss, and he didn't even understand how he was defeated.
By the way, Sudan's sister was directly taken away by the Han army.
It was not until several days later that the King Qin's army from Madurai arrived one after another. The local nobles, all of whom were extremely loyal and brave, clamored to kill them to restore the sultan.
Enmity. [4]
Sudan looked at these guys and wished he could chop them all off with a knife.
After thinking about it, I felt dull again. Jen 1
The young sultan returned to the palace and began to indulge in pleasures. It seemed that he was going to lie down for the rest of his life. Jen 2]He was at a loss on the city wall, and he didn't even understand how he was defeated.
