It's September, and the autumn harvest is coming, but the weather in Cochin is still very hot.

The army of the Champa state is now stationed near the city of Buzheng, and the people here are not particularly welcoming to the Champa people, but they are not particularly resistant.

Fortunately, after Zhang Jingming captured Buzheng, he ordered the whole army not to burn, kill, plunder, etc., otherwise, the people in Buzheng City would be desperate to fight to the death with the army of the city of Zhancheng.

Of course, the greater probability is that they die, and the army lives.

The soldiers of the Zhancheng State did not understand Zhang Jingming's military orders so much, which made Zhang Jingming feel very troubled. Or that the people here are all uncivilized people, and this place used to be your own family.

The people in Buzheng City, if not ten, at least fifty percent are people from the same ancestors as you. Wouldn't it be a foolish thing to slaughter the city after it had been conquered?

But the soldiers of the Champa did not understand that, in the final analysis, they did not have the concept of clan in their minds at all.

The next thing to attack was Dili, which was also the land of the Champa state.

The three states of Dili, Maling, and Buzheng are in a triangle. At the beginning, Dili was at the forefront of the defense of the Champa people, and a lot of effort was put into the defense of the city and the transformation of the nearby terrain.

But in the end, it was taken away by the Jiaozhi people, which was originally a very humiliating thing, but for some reason, as time slowly passed, the people of Champa almost forgot about it.

Now that Zhang Jingming led a large army to the city, the people of Zhancheng remembered that a long, long time ago, they were still proud of this city.

Having said that, Zhang Jingming found something unusual. When he first came into contact with the Cochin army, the Cochin army at that time was very unrestrained.

Scouts tend not to be so far ahead, and armies are always out in one go, as if they can drown themselves with outnumbered men.

As the war continued, the Jiaozhi people kept suffering, and they realized that they couldn't defeat the Cham people with this tactic.

The opponents they despised grew up unconsciously, and moreover, they grew to the point where it was difficult for them to compete.

As a result, the tactics of the Cochin people began to change constantly, from the unrestrained type at the beginning to the slightly restrained type, and then to the embattled type, no matter which one they are, they are sad to find that they are not the opponents of the Champa people at all.

What's the problem? They don't know either.

However, Zhang Jingming was keenly aware that although the current Jiaozhi army was still in the form of shrinking defense, their scouts would appear in all directions.

This may not be a big deal in the eyes of a layman, but in the eyes of an insider, such as Zhang Jingming's eyes, it is like a scallop suddenly turned into an octopus, which is a very obvious change, obvious even

It's a bit glaring.

The commander of the other party must have been replaced, and Zhang Jingming made this judgment at the first time.

This makes him a little excited, and it always feels that way when a skilled chess player meets another skilled chess player.

However, the chess pieces under Zhang Jingming's hands are not good chess pieces, the quality of the army of the city country is not high, how good can an army that even scouts will be caught by the enemy every once in a while?

Simply, Zhang Jingming simply didn't need to scout.

Two elephants of ten elephants were sent to defend the flanks of the army, and the other fifty elephants were at the front of the infantry charge, all the way to the bottom of the city.

The Cochin army changed commanders, that's for sure. Chen Gu's level is not good, and he has been removed. He was replaced by none other than Li Changjie.

That day in Shenglong Mansion, Li Changjie was extremely entangled, and finally he gave the choice to his emperor, Li Deqian.

After Li Deqian's careful consideration, he still decided to send Li Changjie to the south. I have to say that what the two ministers said made Li Deqian's heart moved.

The offensive of the Song people was not the most urgent threat, but the offensive of the Zhancheng State was the urgent need.

So, Li Changjie was transferred here again.

After coming here, Li Changjie decided to sprinkle the anger in his heart on the people of Zhancheng.

I couldn't beat the Song people, so I admitted it. They had gunpowder, and the Song people who used gunpowder superbly. But there can't be any Champs, right? At best, they just have a commander who is stronger than Chen Gu.

Can't beat the Song people, can't you still beat you occupants of the city? Don't underestimate me Li Changjie!

Li Changjie thought so, and in the face of the army occupying the city under the army, he hung up the war-free card.

"Marshal, what is the purpose of this war-free card?" His advisers were a little confused, so they raised their confusion. Li Changjie smiled sinisterly and said: "Now I hang up the war-free card, and I will take it off at night."

In this way, they want to say that we are not authentic, and there is no such thing, right? ”

The strategist was full of admiration and arched his hand: "Dashuai, you are too powerful." You're really a role model for my generation! ”

Li Changjie smiled and said: "This is also thanks to the general of the Song State in the north, he taught me to be so shameless." ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside and said in a panic: "Report~!" Handsome! The Champers ignore the battle waiver card and start attacking the city! ”

"What?!"

Li Changjie was shocked and angry, and said in his heart, how can this Zhancheng man be as shameless as that bastard surnamed Tang in the Song Kingdom? took a sip, and hurriedly put on his cloak and left the Shuaifu to climb the city tower.

Arrows rained down on the city walls, and the screams of oooh oo The Cham army under the city took a ladder and filled it one by one

Climb up with a fierce face.

Even if the rolling wood and stones kept falling on the city wall, they were firmly afraid of the city wall.

Li Changjie was shocked when he saw this, the Cham army should have been a piece of broken paper in his mind, but now how did it become a piece of steel? Is it really the army of the Champa State that he is facing instead of the soldiers of the Song State?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Changjie gritted his teeth and ordered the elephant soldiers in the city to hurry out of the city to meet the enemy.

As soon as the city gate opened, dozens of elephants headed straight for the enemy under the control of the knights. For a while, the figures were flying, and there were people in the sky and on the ground.

The Cochin people had war elephants, and so did the Cham people. The Jiaozhi people sent war elephants to meet the enemy, and Zhang Jingming commanded his own war elephants to contain the opponent's war elephants.

The elephants on both sides were entangled, but it was the infantry at the feet of the elephants who suffered. How many foot soldiers were trampled to pulp by elephants are too many to count.

The Cham people not only had to face the blows of the city defenses overhead, but also had to avoid the accidental injuries of elephants. This led to the collapse of the morale of the soldiers of Champa and fell into disadvantage.

Seeing this, Li Changjie, who was on the city tower, ordered the infantry to attack and hunt down the army of the city state.

Although Zhang Jingming has the advantage in numbers, his morale is not high. Decisively ordered a retreat, and the Champa army under the city retreated back like a tide.

"What's going on? Are we losing? Seeing the soldiers fleeing for their lives, Indra III looked at Zhang Jingming with a blank expression.

For this prince who knows nothing about military affairs, Zhang Jingming doesn't know how to explain. But now in addition to being a prince, he is also his brother. He sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

The other side sent war elephants at the right time, although it took a long time for the war elephants to go out of the city, but our troops were all under the city, and the formation was too dense. As soon as the war elephants came out, they caused a large number of casualties.

If you want to fight to the death, you naturally have to continue to attack. But we were not in a hurry for this moment, so I ordered the whole army to retreat. ”

Zhang Jingming patiently explained, hoping to make Indra III understand some basic military principles.

However, Indra III's heart was obviously not in this regard, and he hooked up with Zhang Jingming and said, "Oh, brother-in-law, what are you polite about!" Just like my sister, just call me big brother.

There is no need for His Royal Highness the Prince or His Royal Highness the Prince, they are all a family, so polite is a little outstanding! ”

"......" Zhang Jingming was speechless, he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only smile wryly and nodded.

After the soldiers withdrew, Zhang Jingming ordered the whole army to retreat two miles back and set up camp.

And Li Changjie, who witnessed all this on the city tower, gradually became solemn.

There are advances and retreats, this is not the quality that those last-class generals in the Champa country can have, it seems that this time, I have met my opponent again......
