Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The capital wall of the Zhunian Kingdom was only seven feet high, which was not as high as the Yang family's courtyard wall. Yang Yi almost couldn't believe it when he saw it. This was the capital of the Zhunian Kingdom that unified the entire South India.

    Perhaps people spent all their financial resources on expanding the army. Prolari raised 40,000 to 50,000 war elephants. Each war elephant was seven or eight feet tall and carried a hut on its back. The soldiers used bows and arrows to fight at a distance, and at close range, they used spears to kill.  , such combat power is second to none in India.

    ?Perhaps it is because of the self-reliance that it is the most powerful country on the Indian continent that the kings of Zhunian Kingdom have disdained to build high walls. If the kings of Zhunian Kingdom really adhere to this idea, it may not be wrong.  If the military is strong, is it necessary to build high walls?  If the battle is defeated, like now, what's the use of a taller city wall?

    "But I heard that the city is divided into seven levels. This seven-level city is definitely the only one seen in other countries.  The first and second cities are residential buildings and are isolated by water surrounding the city.  The third and fourth cities are government offices.  The fifth and sixth cities are the royal palaces.  The seventh level is the palace.

    After King Prolari I learned that both land and water armies were defeated, he did not immediately abandon the capital city. This was the location of his ancestral kingdom and the lifeblood of the Zhunian Kingdom. If he gave up in a hurry, he would be throwing away the lifeblood of the Zhunian Kingdom.

    He immediately sent messengers to the garrison in various places, and ordered the officers and generals from various places to lead their troops to serve the king. He also wore all his clothes and went to the city in person to supervise the battle. There were more than ten thousand garrison in the city, and it seemed very weak to defend the four cities separately;

    Prolari I immediately recruited the young men in the city. Anyone over the age of sixteen and under fifty came to the city to help defend the city. Tens of thousands more people were recruited. Although most of these people did not even have weapons, they were still able to stand on the city.  The momentum is great.

    With the king personally supervising the battle, the morale of the army, which was frightened by the defeat on land and water, became much more stable.

    Regarding what Prolari I did, Yang Yi can only say that it is courageous.

    Yang Yi asked gunboats to block the north gate, and then used 10,000 Sinhala troops to guard the west gate and the south gate. The intention of catching turtles in the urn was obvious.  Everything was arranged and they were preparing to attack the city, but Prolari I sent an envoy to ask for negotiations.

    The envoy's name was Jia Jiachun. When they met, he asked: "I have no grievances with you in the distant past and no enmity in the near future. You come to attack our country."

    "Wrong!" Yang Yi pinched his chin and interrupted Jia Jiachun with a smile, "When Rajendra I of the Zhunian Kingdom was in power, he sent tens of thousands of troops to invade Srivijaya, burning, killing, and looting wherever he went.  , committed all kinds of evil, and brought heavy disasters to the people of Srivijaya. Now, under the order of King Srivijaya Puluo, I will go on an expedition to the country of Zhunan to punish the murderers. I uphold justice and have a reputation as a teacher."

    "It was Srivijaya who first invaded our Zhunian Kingdom. It was the first king of our country who sent troops to attack Srivijaya."

    "That's because you attacked Srivijaya's vassal state Sinhalese first. The country of Zhunian relies on its strength to bully the weak. More than that, the surrounding countries have all been invaded by the country of Zhunian. This is an indisputable fact. King Prollari I sent you here  , just want to delay time. Do you think this captain is easy to fool? Stop talking nonsense and go back immediately and tell King Prolari I that I will give him a cup of tea and ask him to leave the city and surrender immediately. I will spare his life and treat the people in the city well.  People, if you are determined to resist, when the city is destroyed, anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

    "you"

    "Farewell to you, it's only time for a cup of tea, go back quickly and let King Prolari make preparations early."

    After Yan Jiachun hurriedly returned to the city, Meng Yunshan asked with a smile: "Does the Captain think Prolari I will surrender?"

    "Stop talking nonsense and prepare to attack the city."

    "Here!"

    It is already evening, and there are still at most three hours before dark. It is not fun to enter the city at dark. If we wait until tomorrow to attack the city, we will be afraid of long nights and dreams, so it is better to enter the royal city earlier to rest and be more stable.

    A cup of tea is quick.

    In fact, Yang Yi did not expect that Prollali I would really surrender. After a cup of tea, the gunboats at the north gate launched an attack first. The city wall of Thanjavur was only one mile away from the Cauvery River, and the gunboats' shotgun shells could cover the city.  In an area of ??more than a mile, twelve cannons on the side roared at the same time, and countless iron beads roared towards the city with a death whistle.

    At the same time, a fierce attack was launched outside the east gate. Under the cover of 500 flintlock guns, Ozawa Saburo's servants held up shields, carried long bamboo rafts, and held explosive bags. The bamboo rafts passed by one after another.  Cheng Hao shouted and rushed towards the city gate shouting Amaterasu.

    This time following Yang Yi, these servants not only showed their prestige, but also made a fortune. In the past, they had few opportunities to show off in front of their masters, but now they finally had the opportunity to show off, and they all rushed very fast.

    The chirping bullets hit the top of the city, making the soldiers of the Zinian Kingdom who were defending the city unable to raise their heads. Rolling stones and wooden objects used to defend the city could only be thrown down blindly, trying to stop the Japanese servant army. Ozawa Saburo only paid  Twenty casualtiesAt the cost of one person, the explosive package was successfully delivered to the city gate.

    Soon there was a loud bang outside the city gate, boom!  A ball of fire shot into the sky, and at the same time the entire east gate was blown to pieces. The billowing dust mixed with gunpowder smoke shot straight into the sky twenty or thirty feet high, forming a strange mushroom cloud.

    The defenders of the Zhunian Kingdom on the city were bombed to death and wounded everywhere, their bodies were charred black, and those a little further away were also deafened, dizzy and dizzy.

    Prolari I asked the young men in the city to go to the city. This was right. Although these young men had not received military training, if they fought with traditional cold forces, they would definitely play a big role if they had a numerical advantage.  But at this moment, these young men have become the boosters of Prolari's tragic defeat.

    Under the violent explosion, the young and strong defenders of the city had never seen such a terrifying firearm. They were frightened and they were the first to flee, and it soon turned into an avalanche. Even the regular troops on the city also fled in panic.  .

    In order to show his loyalty, Saburo Ozawa led his army of servants to rush into the city first, slashing at anyone they saw, showing their teeth and claws. The ferocity of these Japanese warriors was vividly displayed in front of the weak, and the sharp samurai swords chopped off the heads of each one.  The ground rolled wildly, and the defeated soldiers who were running around in fright were stunned.

    Yang Yi also immediately led his army into the city. His 1,500 troops were not like Saburo Ozawa's men who rushed and killed indiscriminately. Instead, they were organized in platoons and killed wherever there were more troops.  To cooperate with each other.  The whole battalion of fusiliers rushed in and attacked the palace.

    This evening, the whole city was filled with shouts of killing. Even though the frightened soldiers of the Zunian Kingdom had completely lost the courage to resist, Yang Yi and the others still spent two full hours until the second watch to truly clear the city.  complete;

    Prolari I was also captured by Saburo Ozawa from the cowshed of a farmer's house, and he was proudly escorted to Yang Yi to ask for merit. Yang Yi immediately rewarded him with one of Prolari I's concubines, and  He promised that there would be rewards afterward. Saburo Ozawa was so happy that he kowtowed repeatedly and took the concubine away.

    Prolari I was nearly fifty years old, with an ordinary figure and ordinary appearance. He was the kind that would not be found in a crowd. He had already changed out of the king's clothes before hiding in the cowshed. If it hadn't been for the concubines to secretly  After confirming it, Yang Yizhen couldn't believe that such an ordinary little old man was the king of Zhunian Kingdom.

    Yang Yi didn't insult him too much. Yang Yi had no hatred towards him, and Zhunian Kingdom had never offended the Song Dynasty. This time it was just his bad luck.  India's springboard.

    Of course, we can¡¯t say that. We were ordered by King Puluo of Srivijaya to avenge Nian¡¯s invasion of Srivijaya.

    That night Yang Yi stayed in the palace and said nothing all night. Early the next morning, troops of King Guoqin arrived outside the city one after another. Yang Yi asked an official in the city to carry out the order of King Prolari I and leave the city.  Qianxian arrived and King Qin's army laid down their weapons and surrendered, or returned to their original base and waited for the next order.

    The general who led the army refused to listen. Yang Yi was furious and personally led 500 fusiliers out of the city and defeated these thousands of troops.  The army of King Qin who arrived later learned that the capital had fallen, and the army of King Qin that arrived first was defeated, so they all stopped at Liude Town, fifty miles away, and did not dare to approach the capital again.

    Yang Yi was not in a hurry to go on a conquest. Instead, he asked the Sinhala general Hu Nuer to send envoys to contact various countries in India, especially those that had been invaded by Zunian, and asked them to send envoys to Thanjav as soon as possible.  You will make an alliance.

    After finishing this, Yang Yicai sent Shi Ran with 6,000 troops, 2,000 Yang family troops, and 4,000 Sinhala troops to suppress Liu De Xiao. At the same time, he took the second son of Prolari I, Wei Gaya, to recruit him.

    Now it has been found out that there are more than 50,000 Qinwang troops gathered in Liude Town, and the person in charge of it is Jaffna who jumped back from the Palk Strait.  Jaffna had tasted the advantages and disadvantages of the Yang family's firearms and knew that even with ten times the strength, he had no chance of winning if he attacked the capital, so he kept his troops stationary.

    Shi Ran¡¯s six thousand soldiers and horses stopped ten miles away from Liu De Town, and sent Wei Gaya to surrender.  Wei Gaya was escorted outside Jaffa's camp. The flags in the camp were fluttering, and it seemed to be strict, but the confusion and uneasiness in the soldiers' demeanor could not be concealed.

    Weijaya followed Yang Yi's instructions and shouted to the Jaffna camp: "General Jaffna, follow my father's will and give up resistance. The capital has fallen. Captain Jack promises that as long as you give up resistance, he will treat you well."  , in the future, as long as some agreements are signed, we will resume our rule. If you continue to resist, it will not benefit the country or the people at all. Captain Jack has sent envoys to contact the four countries. If you continue to resist, it is likely to attract the four countries to join forces.  If we send troops to attack, then our country will be divided up by all the countries."

      Wegaya¡¯s words left Jaffna speechless for a long time. The fight continued, and there was no guarantee of victory. The surrounding countries had been invaded by Zunian before. Even if Captain Jack didn¡¯t send envoys to contact them, the countries would surely  He will take advantage of the situation and attack from both inside and outside. Which end can he take care of?

    The king and ministers were captured, and the capital was occupied. The morale of tens of thousands of King Qin's troops was low, and they had no intention of fighting. How could they fight?

    Wegaya continued to shout: "General Jaffna, your family is okay, Captain Jack did not make things difficult for them, but if you continue"

    Jaffna almost didn¡¯t listen to what Vejaya said later. He only felt dizzy in his mind.  (To be continued)
