(I confirmed the map again, it was a bit awkward. Tanjoer and Madurai are not near the sea, but are located in the lower reaches of the two rivers, and there is still one section of road from the estuary of the sea.

The data map used by Cheng Lao Wang made an error. Forgot to compare with the modern map and just look at it.) Ren 8

There is something in the world called "Indian Time". It is magical, mysterious, unpredictable, and elusive. Ren 5]

With the connection between the Dutch, the forces of all parties made an appointment and immediately sent troops after the rainy season.

But after the rainy season, the King of Madurai began to gather troops. The orders were passed to the cities and villages. Military nobles were slowly doing their business, and officers and soldiers gathered slowly.

It’s time to harvest summer rice, so you will definitely harvest food first.

2]

At this speed, I am afraid I have to wait until late autumn to complete the assembly.

The fastest move is the princes and princes in Kanmei City. These guys nominally surrendered to Zhao Kuangbiao, with interest, so they are very motivated and are busy killing the coalition forces.

Chinese people.

Whether it was Sun Kewang, the elderly thief or Weng Yingqi, the generals of the Datong Army, they had fought for half their lives, and now they came to India to miscalculate all!

The imagined situation has not come at all.

In this case, it is most reasonable to deal with the princes and princes in Kanmei City according to the civil servants' wishes.1]

Who got the information?

As the saying goes, soldiers are the most important.

In order to gain more time, the infantry, cavalry and naval commanders under Zhao Kuangbiao prepared for the rainy season. The farmers in the village were beaten to the rain.

Wucheng gathered, and even more than 20 people died of colds, fever and illness.

When Weng Yingqi took infantry and civilians to land on a sea boat, then turned to an inland boat and came outside Madurai, the sultan here was so scared that he was scattered.

"Why did the Chinese kill him in less than half a month?" Sultan Udagi was completely at a loss. Ren 11

This guy is young and energetic, and at least he is a little responsible. He personally led the guards to guard the city and mobilized the citizens to stand together.

As for Sun Kewang, all the cavalry under his command were light armored and only brought dry food to the border. He killed people and robbed grain when he saw the village community. He plundered several village communities in a row, but he could not see the enemy at all.

The shadow of the army.

In advance, the three generals, Weng Yingqi, Sun Kewang and Lin Chengzong, repeatedly discussed and formulated detailed plans.

But their military plan, when they arrived at the Indian battlefield, was like a joke, all the precautions - all the failures 8

Sun Kewang didn't care about that much. Anyway, he plundered the villages and communities all the way, and killed those who were dressed and lived in a good house. The more Brahmins he killed, the more Kshatriya, the more Madurai's country he killed.

The more chaotic the strait rule is, and you won’t even think about sending troops to attack Jin in the next few years-

The road killed and robbed people. Sun Kewang and his cavalry all ran to meet with Weng Yingqi's infantry. The army of the king-supporting army in Madurai had not yet appeared. Ren1]

"Fuck him, what kind of trash is this fighting?" Sun Kewang couldn't help but curse.

3]

Weng Yingqi was also speechless and pointed to the city and said, "It was planned that if the enemy did not send troops, we would siege the city and attack reinforcements. But the enemy's reinforcements were not delayed, so we were here."

It's been spent? The time has been delayed for too long. What should I do if the Emperor of Taiwu City is surrounded?" Seven-4

"How do I know?" Sun Kewang's face was depressed.

At this moment, an officer came to report: "Two generals, the enemy is going to go out of the city to fight!

Weng Yingqi and Sun Kewang looked at each other, and were confused at first, then were overjoyed.

Several city gates opened wide, and teams of enemy troops left the city.

There are even more than a dozen war elephants that are actually kept in the city.

Sultan Udagi also led the army in person. The king was full of confidence and felt that he would win this battle.

He had more than 600 musketeers, nearly a thousand elite infantrymen using cold weapons.

There are also hundreds of cavalrymen, more than ten battle elephants. Kshatriya, Vaisya and Shudra in the city,

Some were also temporarily recruited and trained into an army of tens of thousands of people. In addition, there were also naval troops in the lake, dispatching hundreds of inland ships. Ren 5

On the Chinese side, only 600 infantrymen left the city. The remaining 400 infantrymen left 300 to defend the city and 100 were spread out to manage the villages and communities.

There are another 300 cavalry units and 100 naval soldiers.

There are only one thousand real warriors!

The rest were all Shudra civilians, who recruited more than 2,000 people, and their mission was to transport supplies, assist in the construction of camps, help soldiers wash clothes, etc.

"I really dare to come out." Sun Kewang smiled on his face.

Ren 2]

Weng Yingqi said:

"General Sun, I lead the infantry to stand by the camp. You are looking for an opportunity to go out to create chaos." Ren2

"I understand." Sun Kewang said with a smile.

The camp of the Jin army was a small lake to the west and a tributary of the Waigai River to the south.

The Madurai army either crossed the river, landed on the lakeside, or circled around the lakeshore.

Sun Kewang directly led the cavalry out of the camp and ran downstream to cross the river, trying to detour to the rear of the enemy's army to raid.

Only 600 army infantry, 100 naval soldiers, and more than 2,000 Shudra civilians who were completely ineffective were left in the camp.

The Madurai navy took the lead in launching an offensive, and hundreds of ships of all sizes came from the lake.

There were only stone throwers and bows and arrows on the ship. Weng Yingqi had six artillery under his command. Before the enemy ship could enter the range of stone throwers, the rumbling artillery sounded.

When the enemy warship heard the sound of cannons, they were so scared that they quickly dispersed their formation and moved closer to the camp carefully.

Udaji bought a Qianli Milestone from the Dutch. He carefully observed the situation of the camp and felt that he would not lose. He had tens of thousands of troops crossed the river and piled up the Chinese.

Death. Without waiting for the navy to make a contribution, the king ordered: "Except for the Sultan Guard, the rest of the troops cross the river in batches!" 7 5

Madurai soldiers came over with countless small sampans and rowed over in a mess.

The artillery of the Jin army was firing at the enemy's lake ships with all their might, and they could not spare their energy to shell the crossing forces.

Soon two groups of enemy troops successfully crossed the river, all of which were temporary city troops. The officers came from the Kshatriya caste, the soldiers were Vaishya and Shudra in the city, and the officers were still quite complete.

The soldiers have various weapons.

mouth

Such temporary troops have not fought a single battle. After only ten days of training, they were taken out of the city by the Sudan.

If there were really tens of thousands of troops in the city, Zhao Kuangbiao would have sent hundreds of people to siege the city.

The enemy who successfully crossed the river was almost nearly a thousand, but Weng Yingqi didn't take it seriously and even let the enemy fight more. In his eyes, the army was not included in front of him, and there was no shortage of troops and armor.

Not to mention the chaos after getting ashore, the Kshatriya officers could not even quickly organize the team.

Of course, it was impossible to complete the team. When the ships crossed the river, they floated in a mess, and after they got ashore, the organization was completely messy.

They organized troops based on the neighborhood, a low-level Vaishya officer, managing a bunch of known Shudras. These low-level Vaishya officers were then managed by middle- and senior Kshatriya officers. When the whole team was full, they basically didn't look at the flags, and they first shouted to find acquaintances.

The more than a thousand enemy troops who crossed the river first, and when the second group of soldiers landed, they had not yet completed the entire team.

More than 3,000 people crossed the river, and the Madurai army finally took action. The team of more than 1,000 people circled to the east side of the camp, as if they were planning to attack on both sides. Ren1

At this time, if Sun Kewang's cavalry did not go downstream to cross the river, but instead rushed back and charge, it would probably be possible to destroy the enemy in one encounter.

Weng Yingqi said: "One whistle, two whistle, attack from the east gate of the camp!

Nearly two hundred musketeers, they set out immediately after receiving the order.

They had loaded the ammunition and left the camp, quickly lined up, and slowly advanced as they listened to the whistle.

There were more than a thousand enemies, and they were coming around. The formation was scattered when the marched. Seeing the Han army coming, they hurriedly stopped the formation, holding various cold weapons to wait for the battle.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two sides pulled closer, and the first row of 50 flintlocks fired. Before the second row could fire bullets, the Thousand Madurai army collapsed.

The Kshatriya officer took the lead in running away. Not to mention the temporary militia, even the Kshatriya officers had never been on the battlefield. There has been no war here for more than 30 years, even a person like

Even the generals can't be found!

“Get the bayonet!’

A high and harsh charge sounded, and less than two hundred Han troops rushed to the river with more than a thousand defeated soldiers.

"Three sentries and four sentries, break out from the south gate of the camp!"

At this time, Weng Yingqi still kept the reserve team.

The defeated soldiers chased by one or two sentries had already caused a chain reaction before they even approached the river bank. At this time, more than a thousand enemy troops had completed their entire squad, and hundreds of others had just arrived ashore.

Seeing that friendly troops were fleeing, the soldiers who had just arrived ashore immediately took a boat to escape.

Seeing this, the three and four men immediately seized the opportunity and were too lazy to arrange the array. They formed a five-person group nearby and rushed over with a flintlock rifle.

The gap between the military organization between the two sides is too big.
