The first battle of the chariot
"Woo"
After a long whistle, the soldiers on the Nanyang Fleet took action in an orderly manner, entering their respective posts and getting ready for battle as quickly as possible. []
At this time, the fleet of the Zunian Kingdom on the opposite side also launched three giant steel ships.
On the flagship, a dark, muscular man in his thirties saluted a middle-aged man, "Sir." The giant steel ship ahead looked like it should be the Song Dynasty fleet. "
This middle-aged man is none other than the middle-aged minister who previously gave advice to King Zhunian. He was overjoyed after hearing the report, thinking that he was worried about contacting the Song Dynasty fleet. They just showed up, and they were really lucky.¡±
"Send a ship with a white flag close to the Song Dynasty fleet to show them that we are willing to negotiate." The middle-aged minister was overjoyed and ordered hurriedly.
Not long after, a small boat from the Zunian fleet flew towards the Nanyang Fleet with a white flag.
Zhao Hu smiled when he saw this, "Commissioner, it seems they are afraid of us and want to negotiate with us."
"Your analysis is reasonable"
"However, we have already promised Srivijaya to attack the Zhunian Kingdom. Therefore, it is better not to see him." Zhao Hu smiled coldly.
"Boom" The howitzer on the giant ship opened fire.
The boat was in such a miserable condition that it was blown to pieces with one cannonball.
When the middle-aged minister saw this, he felt cold all over, his eyes went straight, and he murmured: It's over, it's over, the Song Dynasty is determined to bet on the Nian Kingdom. "
The general on the side took a long time to react from the shock and hurriedly said, Sir, the weapons used by us Song people are so powerful. How should we respond? "
"Withdraw" the middle-aged minister gritted his teeth and uttered one word.
"Sir, we have more than two hundred warships, and they only have three. Although they have powerful weapons, they can't sink us all at once. As long as we get close to them and use ropes to climb onto their ships, we will definitely be able to We can capture them in one fell swoop." One of the generals felt that with so many ships, it was a bit hard to retreat without a fight.
"You?" The middle-aged minister glared at him, "You think that broken boats like us can catch up with others, you are really overestimating your capabilities."
It was at this moment that a group of grenades hit the fleet. In a burst of explosions, more than a dozen warships were hit, and seven or eight of them were directly penetrated. General Zhu Chaan took a look and said hurriedly: Your Excellency has the foresight, we should retreat quickly. It's too late and we will all be fed to the fish. "
When the order to retreat was given, all the warships fled in all directions.
There are only three ships in the Nanyang Fleet. Faced with the fleeing warships, it is really better not to pursue that one. In the end, Zhao Hu simply did not chase him, but fired a few rounds of demonstrative rounds.
Not long after, the Srivijaya and Ceylon fleets caught up. They were shocked when they saw the sea full of debris and blood. They all wanted to get the Song Dynasty fleet, which had just fought with the Chariot Fleet. It seems that the chariot fleet suffered heavy losses. "
In order to find out the real situation, Leatherstocking and the Tamil King took a small boat and boarded a large steel-hulled ship. Of course Zhao Hu thought, and before they asked, he briefly explained the situation just now.
"General Zhao, this howitzer is a firearm, so powerful?" Leather Socks' eyes were shining, and his heart was itching.
"Of course it's a giant firearm. But you definitely can't afford it, so don't think too much about it. The front is not far away. We will land there." Zhao Hu definitely doesn't sell howitzers, so he doesn't bother to talk about it.
¡¡
"General Zhao, a few miles ahead is Nagapattinam, an important port of the Zhunan Kingdom, but you Song people call it Tuta. It is the east gate of Thanjavur, the capital of the Zhunan Kingdom. As long as we capture it, we will That's half the battle." The Tamil king had obviously done some research and was quite familiar with the basic situation of the country.
Leather Stocking took a telescope and scanned it, "Well, it's not Tuta City. But there is not a single boat on the dock. It seems that they were scared and hid the boats, or went to other places."
"I think so. After seeing the power of our Song Dynasty howitzers, if you dare to appear here, you will be damned." Zhao Hu said lightly with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"What General Zhao said is absolutely true. Their little wooden boats are no match for the giant steel ships of the Song Dynasty." Leather Socks showed Zhao Hu a smile that he thought was good-looking, "However, it seems that there are still some soldiers from the Zunian Kingdom in the city. Be careful when you log in."
"The pier here is too small to dock the Nanyang Fleet. You should land first. We will provide you with artillery support from behind." Zhao Hu looked at the crowds in the castle and felt that it would be more appropriate to leave the lead to Srivijaya and the others.
 "Well, today is the day for us to avenge the shame of Srivijaya." Le Sock looked extremely excited.
Not long after, more than 200 Srivijaya boats poured into the dock like a tide, and the soldiers on board disembarked and lined up ashore, waiting for the order to attack. At this time, hundreds of howitzers of the Nanyang Fleet also began bombarding.
"Yoboom"
The shells made a harsh sound and hit Tuta City. The huge explosion blew up the soldiers hiding in the city. City walls made of earth and stone collapsed in pieces.
"Gulu" Leather Socks, who was standing behind the team, looked at this scene and felt his mouth was dry, so he swallowed his saliva unconsciously. At the same time, my heart and liver were trembling, thinking to myself that this was a howitzer, it was so so terrifying. Fortunately, I was standing in the Song Dynasty, otherwise I wouldn't have found a place to cry. "
After the shelling ended, Leatherstocking shouted loudly, "Come on!"
At this time, Tutacheng is like a naked girl, and any man can have sex with her. The Srivijaya soldiers are not fools. They can easily capture them with just one charge without any losses. As a result, the soldiers did not care about their image and rushed towards Tuta City in a swarm.
The scarred Tuta City may have been reached. In less than an hour, Srivijaya soldiers completely occupied the city. The captured chariot soldiers were driven to an open space and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, their faces looking ashen.
Not long after, Wen Shen, Zhao Hu and the Ceylon army came ashore and came to the city.
"This battle was so exciting." Leather Socks came to the crowd excitedly and laughed loudly, "None of us died. These chariot men were all frightened by your howitzers, General Zhao. Everyone is at ease."
"Well, what was the result of the battle?" Zhao Hu asked with a slight smile.
"More than a thousand people were captured and more than 600 people were killed."
"Um" Zhao Hu glanced at the city. The city was about three hundred acres in size and could be stationed with tens of thousands of people. He frowned and said, "This city is the east gate of the capital of Zhunian Kingdom. Why are there so few people? Do you have Didn¡¯t you interrogate the prisoners of war?¡±
"Asked, there were originally more than 10,000 people and hundreds of warships here. But before, all the officials of the Yizu Nian Kingdom were taken away, leaving only this few people. They also said that if they fight, they will fight, and they will fight. Just run away." Leather Socks wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.
"It seems that there are capable people in the Zhunian Kingdom who say what should be done and what shouldn't be done. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight." Zhao Hu looked a little worried.
"Don't worry, General Zhao. We have such powerful firearms. Even their capital city can be blown to pieces." Leather Socks seemed confident.
"Although it is very simple for us to attack the city, our numbers are too small and there may be some problems in pursuit. If they abandon the city and flee and do not fight with us at the main entrance, it will be difficult for us to attack their effective strength."
"General Zhao is right!" Lehsou suddenly remembered the scene of Srivijaya. At that time, the Zhunian Kingdom occupied the capital of Srivijaya for many years. Later, they engaged in guerrilla warfare and finally recovered the capital. "But our goal is not to occupy the territory, but to rob it to the greatest extent."
Zhao Hu nodded, "You said no. Well, we'd better head to the capital as soon as possible to prevent them from moving everything away."
"Okay, let's go as soon as we come"
At this time, Leodou could not wait to fly to the capital of Zhunian Kingdom and snatch all their gold and silver treasures into his arms.
¡¡
It is only a hundred miles away from Tuta City to Thanjavur, the capital of Zhunian Kingdom. If you march quickly, you can reach it in one day. But at three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Hu decided to take another night's rest.
In the early morning of the next day, three thousand people were left to guard the prisoners of war and garrisoned Tuta City. Everyone else headed west. Originally, the Nanyang Fleet had a total of 1,500 soldiers and 600 sailors. Zhao Hu decided to lead 800 soldiers, six howitzers, 30 mortars, and ten heavy machine guns to accompany them.
After the howitzers and heavy machine guns were separated, they were carried forward by Srivijaya and Ceylonese. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty walked behind calmly.
As the team marched to noon, a dark area appeared in front of them.
"Oh, it's not good to note the elephant army of the Nian Kingdom." After seeing it clearly with a telescope, Leather Socks couldn't help shouting loudly, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.
Zhao Hu hurriedly picked up the telescope and took a look. He saw tens of thousands of war elephants a few miles across the way, moving forward slowly. The war elephant is seven or eight feet tall and carries a hut on its back. In the hut sit dark-skinned soldiers holding bows, arrows and spears, capable of both long-range and close combat.
At this time, the war elephant troops of the Zunian Kingdom also defeated the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. After some adjustments, the war elephant troops suddenly sped up. At this time, Zhao Hu also hurriedly set up the machine gun, and the howitzer was also undergoing intensive debugging.
Five minutes later, the troops quickly prepared for battle. There are ten people in the front rowHeavy machine guns, 1,000 Srivijaya firearms, two hundred Song soldiers on each side, and in the middle are more than 5,000 Srivijaya soldiers holding bows, arrows, knives and guns. In addition, there were 1,000 Srivijaya soldiers who served as laborers to carry ammunition. Ceylonese troops guarded the rear.
One hundred howitzer soldiers quickly loaded their bombs and prepared for bombardment, while another hundred mortar soldiers also adjusted their angles and waited for the battle order.
At this time, the war elephant troops of the Zunian Kingdom had rushed to more than a thousand meters, and the war was about to break out.
