Chapter 62: The Future of Cochin

Besides, Li Changjie's side has been harassing since he arrived at the place, and he is bent on ending this war as soon as possible, so he has repeatedly sent troops to attack and harass to challenge the bottom line of the Zhenla people.

As soon as the Zhenla people couldn't help but start marching, Li Changjie immediately retreated, spread his legs and fled far away, and then harassed him in turn.

That's right, that's Downing's favorite tactic. Provoke the opponent with non-stop feints, and when the opponent advances, he immediately retreats. If you go back and forth three or four times, the other party will fall into the encirclement and will not be able to escape.

Of course, many times Downing did not have the opportunity to cast an encirclement. The power of gunpowder harassment is a bit too huge, most of the time a few harassments can make the opposing army disheartened, and then as soon as the main force presses forward, the opponent will be self-defeating.

Li Changjie is a person who is good at learning, and he thinks that Tang Ning's tactic is very good, so he uses it. Sure enough, it worked in the face of these reckless real people.

But the other party is still very cautious, and every time he attacks, he only sends about 10,000 people.

This number of people really makes Li Changjie feel like a fly in his mouth, and it is not so easy for these 10,000 people to eat him. What's more, there are 70,000 people looking at him in the back, and when he eats those 10,000 people, his ass will definitely be opened by others.

Don't eat it, these people are marching inward step by step, and they are about to break through the encirclement in the blink of an eye.

It's really an uncomfortable feeling that I can't spit it out and swallow it.

Li Changjie thought for a long time why he was in such an embarrassment, and finally he woke up. The Song army had something as powerful as gunpowder, and even if it was a flat push tactic, as long as it was properly detected, it could still win.

Although the general of the Song State surnamed Tang liked this set of tactics, all he used to harass was gunpowder. A fried is a piece, what about yourself? They are all two-legged infantry and archers, and you may not be able to suffer much battle damage if you fight to the death.

Thinking of this, Li Changjie irritably summoned the generals and changed the combat strategy.

He was ready to take his 50,000 soldiers to fight steadily and steadily, gradually eating away at Zhenla's army.

A week later, Fan Richeng recovered from his illness and was immediately sent to the south by Li Deqian's son, Li Jingkun, the king of Annam, who was officially canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, to lead his troops to fight against the Champa state.

After Fan Il Sung arrived, he first synthesized his previous achievements and promoted the previous generals of the unified army. After that, Fan Il Sung went against the norm and began to take the initiative to attack.

He sent a force to attack the camp of the Occupy army at night, and the unsuspecting Occupy army suffered heavy losses immediately.

The war elephants in the camp were frightened and fled in all directions, trampling and kicking many Champa soldiers to death along the way.

The general of Champa is stupid, Fan Richeng has been a general in Jiaozhi for half his life, and he has fought a lot of battles in this half of his life, and all the information collected shows that this person will never rush forward, and what he is best at is defense.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this man came, he launched the first night attack in decades. It's like a seventy-year-old virgin who finally broke his boy body one day, can you think of it?

No one would have thought of it, and no one would have thought of it.

So Zhanchengguo suddenly suffered a big one, and the whole person is still stunned by this old virgin, how can there be a woman who takes a fancy to him?

However, Pham Il Sung's performance was far from over, and in the three days that followed, Pham Il Sung sent three feints and two official attacks.

Feints and formal attacks were mixed with each other, and the Occupy people were physically and mentally exhausted and retreated.

Originally, the two sides were dizzy under Mali City, but now before they knew it, they were already more than 100 miles away from Mali City. In the retreat, you will go to Maring, which is not a good phenomenon.

General Champa finally understood one thing, that is, Fan Richeng had changed. He has changed from a turtle-type commander at the beginning to a hedgehog-type commander, and whoever touches him will be very uncomfortable.

An old man in his fifties, it is not easy to change. But this time Li Deqian was captured under his nose, which undoubtedly touched his most sensitive nerves and caused him to have drastic changes.

After General Champa figured this out, he felt in his heart that he couldn't let Fan Richeng continue to be so arrogant, and he had to treat him.

As a result, when he returned the fire, Fan Richeng took out his famous stunt again, which was to shrink the defense.

This made the general of Champa want to cry without tears, and in the face of Fan Richeng's shrinking defense plus feints and night attacks, the soldiers of Champa were already rumors, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Just when their vigilance was full, Fan Richeng no longer marched, but retreated twenty miles back and set up camp.

If this action had been placed before, everyone would have thought that Fan Richeng had begun to deploy his turtle formation again.

But today, it's hard not to think about what kind of conspiracy this guy is brewing.

A week passed, and Fan Richeng did not move. On the contrary, the soldiers of Champa were physically and mentally exhausted by the high-intensity vigilance of this week.

Two weeks have passed, and Fan Il Sung still hasn't moved. The general of Champa thought about withdrawing his troops, but on this night, Fan Richeng launched another night attack.

Because there have been lessons before, there will still be some vigilance.

But they were on guard for two weeks, and the soldiers of the city slackened off.

So that night, the Champa army suffered heavy losses again, abandoned Maling Prefecture, and fled back to Buzheng Prefecture in a hurry.

Indra II wrote a long letter in which he scolded his generals for their incompetence.

At the subsequent daily court meeting, Indra II's repertoire was to scold the ministers who were trying to replace Zhang Jingming at the beginning, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Depression spread within the Champa state, and although I don't want to admit it, that's what happened. The Cham army, which lacks a good commander, is simply vulnerable.

There was no way, Indra II had to write a letter asking for Song State's assistance, hoping that Song State could come forward to mediate, they didn't want to fight, they wanted to sue for peace.

Zhao Xu also gave face very much, and sent an envoy to Lie Annan to ask Li Jingkun if he was willing to give face to the truce.

Although Li Jingkun is young, he has a lot of courage. He said that I will not give anyone face, and only after recapturing Buzheng Prefecture and Hengshan Pass, will I cease war with the Zhancheng State, or the Zhancheng State will take the initiative to surrender Buzheng Prefecture and Hengshan Pass, otherwise there is no need to talk.

Indra II felt this in his heart, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that all his previous efforts have been in vain? He certainly didn't want to.

The envoys of the Song State also tried their best to mediate in combination with the opinions of both sides, after all, when they asked for help from the Champa State, the Song State promised that the places taken by the Champa State would be recognized as legal.

As a result, under the constant exchange of envoys from the three countries, the Annan Kingdom and the Champa State finally reached a contract.

The condition is that the Champa State should pay a gift of 100,000 taels to the Annan State every year, and those who are insufficient can be replaced by other materials at the same price. At the same time, the Champong state was returned to Maling Prefecture and Buzheng Prefecture.

On this condition, Annam donated Hengshan Pass to the Champa Kingdom to show the friendship between the two countries.

Either way, that's the best that can be achieved so far. Indra III signed a peace treaty with the left minister sent by Li Jingkun at Hengshan Pass, and thus the war between Annam and Champa came to an end.

Although the turmoil caused by the Zhenla people has not subsided, Li Changjie has won repeatedly, and it is only a matter of time before he defeats the Zhenla people.

From May last year to March this year, the Jiaozhi people have been at war for most of the year and have never been at peace. At least 500,000 soldiers and civilians were lost in this battle, and the richest city of Thang Long was burned to the ground by the rebels.

The treasures of the palace treasury were plundered, and millions of silver were lost in the war. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cochin is now only an empty shell.

The question of what should the Emperor do in the future after the emperor was captured and suffered great humiliation was a test of the leader's level.

As the saying goes, the house leak coincides with overnight rain, and Southeast Asia is not the only one in these three countries.

The ten-month-long war attracted the attention of other countries, and like beasts that smelled meat, they also appeared one by one, and their fierce eyes were already fixed on the weakened states of Champa and Annam, as well as the empty Jinla inside.

The next Southeast Asia will definitely experience a very exciting period of regime change.

The Kingdom of Srivijaya and the Kingdom of Bagan have just begun to show their fangs from the dense jungle.

But clearly, this is not one of our stories.
