Chapter 782: Take Sinhala

@@@

A large group of enemy troops rushed out from the direction of the Sinhalese palace, fearing that there would be no more than one or two thousand men, and under the orders of the generals, they shouted and rushed towards the lost city gate, and all the elephants rushed to the front, and the whole street was full of running elephants, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake.

South Asian countries, including India, have a large number of elephant soldiers, who play an important role in the wars of various countries and are often regarded as a country's trump card troops.

In cold weapon combat, once the elephant soldiers rush into the battle, no matter how oxen the heavy infantry will definitely collapse, the more fierce the elephant is slashed with knives and guns, the more the elephant will launch a mad attack will only make you die worse;

Even the cavalry, in front of the elephant soldiers, is difficult to please, and is often rushed to pieces, becoming the target of the enemy's infantry.

Elephant soldiers are also very useful for siege cities, the walls of South Asian countries are usually not high, standing on the back of elephants can basically be equal to the head of the city, and the defenders will lose their geographical advantage and be easily breached.

And elephants can not only be used for combat, but also for logistics transportation, elephants have excellent load-bearing capacity, dangerous roads in mountains and forests, swamps and mud, all like walking on flat ground;

At the same time, elephants are very easy to raise, and South Asian countries are full of forests, and cavalry is not only not applicable, but also cannot be raised. The elephant burrows into the woods, and it is full of itself. There are so many benefits that South Asian countries are vying to domesticate elephants for warfare.

But what would be the result of such an ace army meeting the Yang family army with flintlock pistols and grenades?

The cavalry is a little scary because of its super mobility, but what about the elephant soldiers?

"Brothers, such a big target, who the fuck can't shoot it. I'll rip off your pants and let you shoot with your own birds! Shoot fast! Shoot Shoot! ”

The sound of elephant soldiers rushing from the opposite side shook the heavens and the earth. The dust was flying, and the tiles along the street were shaken. Yang Yi didn't see it, and gave his subordinates a few words of meat.

"My lord, what do you shoot with?" A soldier named Lu Liu beside him had been with Yang Yi for a long time, his mouth was smeared with oil, and his skin was thicker.

"Fuck it, believe it or not I let you breed elephants?"

"Hahaha"

The street is not wide, and there can be more than twenty people standing in a row, and those who are a little further back can't take their turn to shoot, and listened to the conversation between Yang Yi and Lu Liu. I couldn't help but laugh.

The soldiers in front of them lined up in a three-section firing formation did not smile, and as soon as the enemy elephant soldiers rushed into the effective firing range, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the dense gunfire kept ranging, Yang Yi choked on the gunsmoke on his face, and couldn't help but curse, those guys from the Yang Family Academy of Sciences now have five or six hundred people, and it has taken almost two years to make a steam engine. With so much information provided by themselves, if they hadn't gotten the yellow gunpowder out of their backs, they would have to run around the Second Ring Road of Tokyo in a group.

On the opposite side of Mount Tai's overwhelming elephant soldiers, Yang Yi not only did not retreat. Instead, he pressed it step by step, spraying bullets and grenades thrown hard. Fierce explosions, thunderous roars. The frightened elephants began to disobey the elephant soldiers' control and turned around and fled. Like heavy tanks, the houses on the street collapsed.

The Sinhalese soldiers who rushed after the elephant soldiers had just been thinking about the enemy being run over by the elephant, but in an instant, they were facing the pillar-like feet of the elephant.

Is that foot girl a human being can stand The captain from the civilized world couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene of the street, and began to chant the Buddha's name constantly.

"Amitabha! Sin, sin, didn't Captain Ben tell you that war is risky, and you must be cautious when playing with elephants? Why don't you listen? Amitabha, sin, sin. ”

One or two thousand Sinhalese soldiers came in a hurry, went in a hurry, came with a high spirit, cried when they went to cry their father and call their mother, of course, they can cry their father and call their mother, that is definitely the lucky one who is favored by God.

The streets are not wide, hundreds of elephants trampled on the past, the consequences can be imagined, Yang Yi and they stepped on the flesh and blood of the land, and easily occupied the Sinhalese palace.

When Yanel was carried upside down by Mengyun Mountain and carried in front of Yang Yi, her face was more shocked than afraid, and she didn't seem to believe that Yang Yi could easily break through the encirclement of Xilan Mountain Temple and rush into the palace so quickly, which he really never dreamed of.

"Didn't you have an urgent need to urinate in the morning?" Meng Yunshan threw Yanel to the ground and suddenly snorted.

"Can this be changed to a princess or something, damn it, this guy looks like Sister Feng, I'm afraid I can't pee out if I suffocate to death."

"But is there anything nice about the night pot?"

"Well, there's some truth"

"Report!" Yang Yi wanted to say a few more words, but a herald ran in with a shout, "Captain, General Le Tao has already routed the 30,000 enemy troops in the port, and General Shi Ran is leading a thousand men and horses to support Gaolangbu City." ”

"Pass my order to keep Letao on guard and guard the port. But don't embarrass the merchants of all countries, and go and stay for yourself. In addition, Shi Ran was ordered not to burn, kill and loot when leading the army into the city, and the violators were beheaded! ”

"Whoa!"

After the herald 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 Sinhala according to the old practice of the Three Buddhas?" ”

"What do you think?"

"My lord, the last general thinks that at least for now, it is better to deal with it according to the old practice of the Three Buddhas, first raise a puppet to manage Sinhala, we only need the right to mine minerals and the right to expropriate Guan Rui, only in this way can we concentrate on attacking the Zhulin country, and even let the Sinhala send troops to help us take the lead, so that we will be much easier."

The Sinhalese army is vulnerable to firearms, but it still has the strength to fight when it is also equipped with cold weapons, otherwise Sinhala would have been wiped out by the Zhulin country.

It would be a good idea to let the Sinhalese soldiers assist in the management of the country, in the case of insufficient troops themselves.

"Hmm. You go and find the right person to replace Yanel. ”

The first step for Yang Yi to do next is to empty Yanel's palace. We've consumed so much ammunition, and we have to compensate for it.

It's a country of gems. All kinds of sapphires, rubies, cat's eyes, pearls and agate in the palace, not to mention, in line with the principle of wealth not being exposed, we can't tell you how many treasures there are.

Anyway, Captain Jack almost couldn't resist the temptation, and he really wanted to lead his troops all the way through and move every small country back.

However, he also knew that this was tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, and a large number of these treasures flowed back to the Great Song Dynasty. It may not be good for the Great Song Dynasty.

Just like Spain in later generations, it was accustomed to plundering directly by force, and it was not engaged in domestic production, but it could also buy countless good things from foreign countries and live a luxurious life, which eventually led to the stagnation of domestic productive forces and the loss of the impetus for innovation in various technologies. Eventually, it was replaced by another country.

In view of this, Yang Yi did not want to contribute to this simple and crude plundering by force, only through commodity dumping. With a relatively modest form of economic plunder, the Great Song Dynasty could accumulate a large amount of capital, and the productive forces and technologies of various fields could flourish, which was the long-term solution.

The means of Sinhala are also necessary. This can not only make India stand up for prestige so that countries will not dare to brush the tiger's whiskers in the future, but also turn Sinhala into an overseas logistics base. And then step by step to control the various countries on the Indian plate.

The second step Yang Yi had to do was to invite the Moro Zen Master of Xilanshan Temple. A combination of hard and soft forces forced him to come out and clarify the cause and effect of this incident. Zen Master Moro has a high status in the Sinhalese country, and his words are very effective.

Since Zen Master Moro did not clarify, most of the officials in Sinhala also knew that it was King Yanaire who first watched the wealth and ships of the Song caravan to cause this war.

Another point is that although the Song army captured the palace and captured Yanel alive, it did not commit any crime against the people, which also weakened the people's resistance.

The next third step is to raise a puppet and take over the throne of Yanaire, this process Yang Yi also moved some thoughts, he privately provided three candidates for the throne to Zen Master Moro, let Zen Master Moro decide who will succeed to the throne first, don't look at this approach is a bit of a snake, but it is an excellent way to win the hearts of the people of Sinhala.

After doing all this, it took Yang Yi half a month. In this half month, through Persian merchants, Yang Yi got a lot of news about Persia.

The Seljuk Governor of Khorasan Sanjar and his two elder brothers seized the throne, and he continued to advance westward based on Khorasan, eventually defeating his two elder brothers, and at the same time defeating many small states that had split off from the original Seljuk dynasty centered on the cities of Damascus, Konya, Mosul, and Diyarbakir.

Immediately after being crowned a new sultan in Baghdad, Sanjar sent troops to fight the crusaders of the Eastern Crusade.

The Crusades began five years ago, and Christians had little affection for Muslims, and a few years ago, after the death of the last Sultan of the Seljuk Empire, Malikshah, who ruled the Middle East, the once mighty Khaeljuk Empire fell into division, with the royal princes vying for the throne and the military feudal lords in various places.

Christendom saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, and at the call of Pope Ubon formed a crusade of Christian soldiers in an attempt to retake Pakistan from the Muslims.

Over the years, the Crusaders conquered Antioch and Jerusalem, but the Crusaders were brutal and often massacred the local people regardless of age, creed or gender. After Sanjar sent his troops, he won one after another.

At this time, the 100,000-strong army of the enemy Gulie suddenly killed the medicine and killed the water, and after capturing Samarkand, the capital of the Taohuashi Khanate, it did not stop and killed Khorasan in Sanjar's Longxing land as fast as lightning.

Sanjar fought on both sides, taking care of one and losing the other, and before he could transfer his troops back to defense, Khorasan was already billowing with wolf smoke, and the cities of Mulu, Nishapur, Girishk, Kerman, and Rey quickly fell.

In less than a year, half of the territory to the east of Seret fell to the Eguret.

Soon after the enemy Guret captured the city of Ire, he met with the main army of Sanjar, and a total of more than 100,000 troops on both sides fought at Ati Mountain, three hundred miles west of the city of Rei, Sanjar was defeated, and the enemy Guret also lost more than 30,000 troops.

Coupled with the exhaustion of firearms, the Muslims in the occupied areas were reluctant to convert to Buddhism and resisted strongly, so the enemy had to give up the idea of capturing Baghdad in one fell swoop.

On the one hand, he garrisoned Mount Ati to confront Sanjar, suppressed the rebellion in the occupied area, and returned to the south to attack Ghaznavid and other countries, and after a year, he destroyed Ghaznavid and extended his power to the banks of the Indus River and the Persian Gulf. This is also the strategy formulated by Yang Yi and him at the beginning,

When Yang Yi first arrived in Sinhala, he had already sent people to contact the enemy Gulie, but the distance from Sinhala to the Persian Gulf was about the same as that from Malacca to Sinhala, and it would take at least 34 days to hear back.

Yang Yi hopes that Di Gulie will stop at the Indus River and can't go further south, so Ah San will leave it to me.

At present, in order to, Di Gu Lie has always abided by the agreement when he worshipped, such as where he passed, forcing the people to convert to Buddhism at that time, these have done a good job, under the bloody butcher's knife, if you don't change it, you have to change it, Di Gu Lie has encountered strong resistance from the local people, I think he must be in urgent need of his own support now.
