Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- A large group of enemy troops rushed out from the direction of the Sinhala Palace. There were probably no more than a thousand or two thousand enemy troops. Under the general's orders, they rushed towards the lost city gate with shouts. Those at the front were all elephant soldiers, and the whole street was full of elephant soldiers. The running elephant caused a sound like the earth was shaking.
Countries in South Asia, including India, maintain many elephant soldiers. In the wars of various countries, elephant soldiers play an important role and are often regarded as a country's trump card force.
When fighting with cold weapons, once the elephant soldiers rush into the formation, no matter how awesome the heavy infantry is, it will definitely fall apart. The harder you attack the elephant with swords and guns, the more miserable the elephant will make your death if it goes crazy;
Even for cavalry, it is difficult to gain favor in front of the elephant soldiers. They are often beaten to pieces and become the targets of enemy infantry.
Elephant soldiers are also very effective in attacking cities. The city walls in South Asian countries are usually not high. Standing on the back of an elephant can basically be at the same level as the city head. The defenders will lose their geographical advantage and be easily breached.
And elephants can not only be used for combat, but also for logistics and transportation. Elephants have excellent load-bearing capacity and can walk on dangerous mountain roads, swamps and muddy roads as if they were on flat ground;
At the same time, elephants are easy to raise. South Asian countries are full of forests. Cavalry is not only inappropriate, but also impossible to raise. The elephant goes into the woods to take care of itself. There are so many benefits, so countries in South Asia are rushing to tame elephants for war.
But what will be the result when such an ace unit encounters the Yang family army armed with flintlock guns and grenades?
Because of their super mobility, the cavalry were a bit scary when they encountered them, but what about the elephant soldiers?
"Brothers, if you can't hit such a big target, I will take off your pants and let you use your own birds to shoot! Shoot quickly! Shoot, shoot!"
The sound of the elephant soldiers rushing from the opposite side moved the heaven and earth. The dust was flying, and the tiles along the street were shaken off. Yang Yi acted as if he hadn't seen him before, and even gave his men a few naughty words.
"Sir, what should you shoot with?" A soldier named Lu Liu had been with Yang Yi for a long time. His mouth was oiled and his skin was thickened.
"Damn it, do you believe I asked you to breed elephants?"
"Hahaha"
The street is not very wide, and only about twenty people can stand in a row. Those further back cannot have their turn to shoot. I listened to the conversation between Yang Yi and Lu Liu. They couldn't help but laugh.
The soldiers in the three-section shooting formation in front were serious about their words. As soon as the enemy's elephant soldiers rushed into the effective shooting range, intensive gunfire suddenly sounded.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom! Boom!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom! Boom!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom! Boom!
As the intensive gunshots continued, Yang Yi choked on the smoke and couldn't help but curse. Those guys in the Yang Academy of Sciences now number five or six hundred people. It took almost two years and they still haven't come up with anything. Just a steam engine. With so much information provided by me, if they haven't found out the yellow gunpowder when they get back, they will have to run naked around Tokyo's Second Ring Road.
Faced with the overwhelming elephant soldiers on the opposite side, Yang Yi and the others not only did not retreat. Instead, they pressed forward step by step, spraying out bullets and throwing grenades fiercely. The explosion of jili¨¨, the thunderous roar. The frightened elephants began to disobey the elephant soldiers and ran away. Like heavy tanks, the houses on the street collapsed.
Those Sinhala soldiers who rushed behind the elephant soldiers were just thinking about the misery of the enemy being run over by the elephant, but in the blink of an eye, they had to face the elephant's pillar-like feet.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The captain from the civilized world couldn't bear to see the bloody scene on the street, so he started chanting Buddha's name continuously.
"Amitabha! It's a sin, it's a sin. Didn't the captain tell you that war is risky and you have to be careful when playing with elephants? Why didn't you listen? Amitabha, it's a sin, it's a sin."
"One or two thousand Sinhala soldiers came and went in a hurry. They were high-spirited when they came and cried for their father and mother when they left. Of course, those who can still cry for their father and mother are definitely the lucky ones who are favored by God.
The streets were not wide, and hundreds of elephants trampled them. The consequences could be imagined. Yang Yi and the others trampled on the flesh and blood on the ground and easily occupied the Sinhala Palace.
When Yanai was carried upside down by Meng Yunshan in front of Yang Yi, her face was more shocked than frightened. It seemed that she still couldn't believe that Yang Yi could easily break through the siege of Xilanshan Temple and rush into the palace so quickly. This was really him Never dreamed of it.
¡°Didn¡¯t you have an urgent need to urinate early in the morning?¡± Meng Yunshan threw Yanai¡¯er to the ground and suddenly said something.
"Can I change this to a princess or something? Damn it, this guy looks like Sister Feng. I'm afraid I won't be able to urinate even if I'm suffocated to death."
"But are there any good-looking chamber pots?"
"Well, that makes some sense"
"Report!" Yang Yi wanted to say a few more words, but a messenger ran in with a loud shout, "Sir Captain, General Le Tao has defeated 30,000 enemy troops in the port, and General Shi Ran is coming with a thousand troops. Support Gaolangbu City."
"Pass my order to Le Tao to remain vigilant and guard the port. But you must not embarrass merchants from all over the world. You can stay or go as you please. In addition, Shi Ran has been given an order. When leading the army into the city, they are not allowed to burn, kill or loot. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!"
"Here!"
After the messengers went out, Meng Yunshan glanced at Yanair, who was lying on the ground with a pale face, and asked: "Do you plan to deal with the Sinhala people according to the old rules of Sri Lanka?"
"What's your opinion?"
"Sir, I think it is better to follow the old rules of Srivijaya at least for the time being. First, let a puppet manage Sinhala. We only need the mineral mining rights and the right to expropriate Guanrui. Only in this way can we concentrate on attacking Zhejiang. Nian State can even ask the Sinhalese to send troops to help us take the lead, so that we will be much more relaxed."
The Zhunian Kingdom is relatively large, so it is not a problem to defeat it, but after defeating it, troops are needed to maintain order. The Sinhala army is vulnerable to firearms, but when it encounters the soldiers of the Zhunian Kingdom who are also equipped with cold weapons, they still have a fight. power, otherwise Sinhalese would have been destroyed by the Zhuxiang Kingdom long ago.
Letting Sinhalese soldiers assist in managing Zhunian is a good idea when one's own troops are insufficient.
"Well. You go and find a suitable candidate to replace Yanair."
The first step for Yang Yi to do next is to evacuate Yanair's palace. We have consumed so much ammunition, there must be some compensation.
It is indeed a country of gems. Don't mention all kinds of sapphires, rubies, cat's eyes, pearls and agates in the palace. In line with the principle of not revealing wealth, we can't tell you how many treasures there are.
Anyway, Captain Jack almost couldn't stand the temptation and wanted to lead his troops to fight all the way and move every small country back.
But he also knew that this was tantamount to killing the goose to retrieve the eggs, and a large number of these treasures flowed back to the Song Dynasty. It may not be good for the Song Dynasty.
Just like Spain in later generations, it was accustomed to plundering directly by force. Without domestic production, it could buy countless good things from foreign countries and live a luxurious life. The final result was that domestic productivity stagnated and various technologies Lost the motivation to innovate. Eventually it was replaced by other countries.
In view of this, Yang Yi does not want to encourage such simple and crude plunder by force, only tongguo product dumping. A relatively mild method of economic plunder allowed the Song Dynasty to accumulate a large amount of capital, while productivity and various technologies also flourished. This was a long-term solution.
The means for Sinhala are also necessary. This can not only make India more powerful and deter other countries from stroking the tiger's beard in the future, but also turn Sinhala into an overseas logistics base. Then step by step control various countries on the Indian plate.
The second step Yang Yi needs to do is to invite Zen Master Moro from Xilanshan Temple. Both soft and hard tactics were used to force him to come out and clarify the causes and consequences of this incident. Zen Master Mora has a high status in the Sinhala Kingdom, and his words are very effective.
Since Zen Master Moro did not clarify, most Sinhalese officials also knew that it was King Yanai who first spied on the wealth and ships of the Song caravan, which triggered the war. Yanai was morally wrong. , and after Zen Master Moro came forward to testify, the Sinhala people basically believed it.
Another point is that although the Song army captured the palace and captured Yanair alive, they did not commit any crime against the people, which also weakened the resistance of the people.
The third step to do next is to raise a puppet to take over the throne of Yanair. Yang Yi also put some thought into this process. He privately provided three candidates for the throne to Zen Master Moro and asked Zen Master Moro to come. Decide who will succeed the throne first. Even though this approach is superfluous, it is an excellent way to win the hearts and minds of the Sinhala people.
It took Yang Yi half a month to finish all this. In this half month, Yang Yi, a Persian businessman from Tongguo, got a lot of news about Persia.
Sanjar, the governor of Khorasan in the Seljuk Empire, competed with his two brothers for the throne. Using Khorasan as his base, he continued to advance westward, and finally defeated his two brothers. He also defeated Damascus, Konya, There are many small countries that broke away from the original Seljuk dynasty, centered on cities such as Mosul and Diyarbak?r.
After Sanjar was crowned as the new generation of Sultan in Baghdad, he immediately sent troops to fight the Crusaders in the Eastern Expedition.
The Crusades started five years ago, and Christians have no good impressions of Muslims. A few years ago, after the death of Malik Shah, the previous sultan of the Seljuk Empire that ruled the Middle East, the once powerful Seljuk Empire fell into division. The princes of the royal family are vying for the throne, and the armies of various places are fighting.?The feudal lords separated themselves and ruled the roost;
The Christian world thought it had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Under the call of Pope Upon, Christian soldiers formed a crusade in an attempt to take back Pakistan from the Muslims.
In a few years, the Crusaders successively captured Antioch, Jerusalem and other cities. However, the Crusaders were too brutal. After their victory, they often massacred local people regardless of age, belief or gender. Their reputation was very bad and they were enthusiastically criticized by the local people. Resist. After Sanjar sent out troops, he won successively.
At this time, Digullie's 100,000-strong army suddenly killed Yaoshashui, and after capturing Samarkand, the capital of the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate, they did not stop and attacked Longxing in Sanjar as fast as lightning. The land of Khorasan.
Sanjar fought on both sides, focusing on one and losing the other. Before he could mobilize his troops to defend, Khorasan was already in smoke, and cities such as Mulu City, Nishapur, Girishk, Kerman, and Rey fell quickly.
Less than a year after Ser lived in the eastern half of the territory, all of it fell to the enemy.
Not long after Digulie captured the city of Yire, he encountered the main force of Sanjar. The two sides, with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, fought in Mount Ati, 300 miles west of Rey City. Sanjar was defeated, and Digulie also lost three soldiers. Ten thousand troops.
Coupled with the exhaustion of firearms and the strong resistance from Muslims in the occupied areas because they were unwilling to convert to Buddhism, Digureh had to give up the idea of ????taking Baghdad in one fell swoop.
While he stationed troops in Atishan to confront Sanjar, he suppressed the rebellion in the occupied areas. He also returned to the south and attacked Ghaznavids and other countries. After a year, he destroyed Ghaznavids and expanded his power to Along the Indus River to the Persian Gulf. This was also the strategy that Yang Yi and he had originally planned.
When Yang Yigang arrived in Sinhala, he had already sent someone to contact Digurel. However, the distance from Sinhala to the Persian Gulf was about the same as that from Malacca to Sinhala, and it would take at least thirty-four days before there was a response.
Yang Yi hopes that the enemy will stop at the Indus River and cannot go south. Ah San should be left to me.
For the present, Digurie has always abided by the agreement he made when he became a sworn sworn servant. For example, he did a good job in forcing the people at that time to convert to Buddhism. Under the bloody butcher's knife, he had to change even if he did not change. Therefore, Digurie Encountering strong resistance from the local people, I guess he must be in urgent need of his support now.
