Lin Yi¡¯s rapid development has aroused the envy of the surrounding Funan and Zhenla countries. Both countries are no less powerful than Lin Yi.
Originally, the two countries wanted to take advantage of Lin Yi's demise to occupy the land south of Lin Yi. Fortunately, Huang Mingcong marched quickly and quickly destroyed Lin Yi without giving the opponent any chance. The two countries were also strong during the Sui Dynasty and did not dare to act rashly.
But Huang Mingcong knew very well that although he was backed by the Sui Dynasty, apart from borrowing the Sui Dynasty's reputation, he could not actually get much funding from the Sui Dynasty. It is difficult for Huang Mingyuan to compete with the two countries based solely on his personal investment. When the two countries discover the true strength of Nichinan County, they will lose their fear and will most likely launch an attack on Nichinan County.
Huang Mingcong knows that if he wants to gain a foothold here, he must deter other countries before they can react. Huang Mingcong is planning to attack the most powerful Funan Kingdom to completely frighten the surrounding small countries.
The Kingdom of Funan is powerful and has a long history. It was officially founded in the 1st century AD. It is the first Southeast Asian country to appear in ancient Chinese historical records. The Kingdom of Chenla also appeared at about the same time and was a vassal state of Funan. The current rulers of Chenla are the Jimmi tribe who emerged in the sixth century.
The indigenous people of Funan, Zhenla and even Linyi in this era were different from the Southeast Asians who came later. Chinese history books all recorded that "all the people in the country were ugly and black, with fists and hair"; "In the eyes of the Han people at that time, people from these countries were all dark and ugly, and they didn't wear much clothes. They liked to go barefoot, touch various spices, and all kinds of things. tattooed savage. Maybe a human-like animal.
¡°But it is so rich in products. The food and spices it produces can fascinate the world.
Originally, Funan, Zhenla and Linyi were the three pillars of a confrontation. Among them, Funan is the strongest, and Chenla and Linyi unite with each other to fight against Funan.
However, Funan Kingdom has passed its peak period and is beginning to decline. Domestic class conflicts have intensified, and farmers' resistance struggles have become increasingly fierce. In the officialdom, it is common to form cliques for personal gain, fight against each other, sell one's official position, and bribe one another. In the army, the equipment is outdated, the training is not diligent, the armaments are weak, and the discipline is broken. Financially, the national treasury is increasingly in deficit and cannot make ends meet. Officials at all levels only know how to squeeze the people internally and oppress neighboring countries externally. The country's situation has become extremely dangerous.
Such a country may seem powerful, but in reality its capabilities are limited, and it is best suited to kill monkeys and scare chickens.
In January of the fourth year of Daye, Huang Mingcong secretly sent an envoy to Zhenla to discuss forming an alliance with Zhenla and jointly deal with Funan.
Because the Zhenla Kingdom had lost Lin Yi as an ally, it was already uneasy. It was worried that the Sui Dynasty in the east would invade its territory, and it was also worried that without Lin Yi's restraint, Funan would launch a massive attack. This time, the Sui army took the initiative to form an alliance. For the Zhenla Kingdom, it was almost a timely help. The Zhenla Kingdom was overjoyed and naturally agreed to it.
In April, Huang Mingcong made an appointment with the Zhenla Kingdom and sent troops to attack the Funan Kingdom. He asked the Funan Kingdom to stop oppressing the surrounding countries and return the lost territory to the countries it had previously occupied.
Among them, the Sui army sent 13,000 troops, commanded by Huang Mingcong himself, while the Zhenla Kingdom sent 60,000 troops, commanded by the general Posemi.
Afterwards, small countries such as Panpan Kingdom, Taiban Kingdom, Baotou Kingdom, and Queen Kingdom that Huang Mingcong contacted also sent troops. For these small countries, it is a dream to follow the Sui Dynasty and take advantage of the situation. In the eyes of other countries, the Sui Dynasty was a great kingdom in the heavens, stretching thousands of miles across, and there was no problem in defeating the Funan Kingdom.
Of course, the Funan Kingdom would not agree to the Sui army¡¯s unreasonable demands. In the eyes of everyone in the Funan Kingdom, although the Sui army was strong, it was far away. In this central and southern land, the Funan Kingdom was still the leader.
Not to be outdone by the military oppression of the Sui Army and Zhenla, Funan State immediately sent 100,000 troops, commanded by General Balshaman, to counterattack the invasion of the Sui Army and Zhenla.
The main players of both sides met in the class match.
The Bansaido forest is conducive to concealment.
At this time, Funan was a powerful country with many soldiers and horses. There are also elephant soldiers in the army to help them, and they are very powerful. As the most important local military unit, the Zhenla Kingdom did not have many elephant soldiers, and the Sui army had none.
The two sides lined up for more than ten miles and faced each other.
On the coalition side, the Sui Army was on the left wing, while the Chenla Army was on the center and right wing. Although the contact was between the Sui army this time, Chenla sent more troops after all, and Huang Mingcong was happy that the other side would take the lead, so he deliberately gave up the position of the Chinese army to the other side.
On the Funan Army side, the elephant soldiers were concentrated in the central army, preparing to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Facing the Zhenla Army, the Funan Army has always looked down upon it. As for the Sui Army, in their opinion, the number was too small and there was not much threat. Therefore, Balshaman ordered the main force to attack ChenlaIn his opinion, as long as the Zhenla Army is defeated, the Sui Army will retreat.
Although Funan did not border the Great Sui Dynasty before, it also knew that the Great Sui Dynasty was a behemoth and did not dare to offend easily.
The elephant herds from the Funan Kingdom rushed towards the Zhenla Army. The Zhenla Army was already afraid of the Funan Army. Faced with the fierce attack from the other side, the officers and soldiers fled in fear. The coalition's formation immediately became unstable and was in danger of collapse.
At this time, Huang Mingcong followed the Sui army and the Zhenla army to ask for help from the Sui army, but Huang Mingcong suggested that the Zhenla army retreat slightly to avoid the sharp edge of the Funan army before fighting the enemy.
Posumi had no way to deal with it, so he had to order the troops to retreat hundreds of miles.
In Huang Mingcong¡¯s view, Funan is an enemy, but it may not be an ally in the future. Similarly, although Zhenla is an ally, it may not be an enemy in the future. Among the three countries, the Sui army is the weakest at this time. Only when the strength of Funan and Zhenla is greatly exhausted can the Sui army have the opportunity to move here.
The Chenla army retreated, and Balshaman pursued him, and his army was gradually stretched.
At this time, the Sui army also deliberately used horses to drag branches and gallop, pretending to be defeated. The target of the Funan Army was the Zhenla Army. Seeing the Sui Army retreating, they no longer cared about the Sui Army.
At this time, the Zhenla army had retreated nearly a hundred miles and was completely defeated. Funan Kingdom seemed to be enjoying this victory as well, and was so complacent that it was completely unaware of the threats around it.
Seeing that the flanks of the Funan Army were completely exposed at this time, Huang Mingcong, who had stopped retreating, immediately ordered his troops to cover their horses with lion skins, turn over and charge towards the Funan Army.
The Funan Army, which was making a rapid assault, was caught off guard and was directly intercepted by the Sui Army.
The cavalry of the Sui Army charged back and forth among the Funan Army, and the elephant soldiers of the Funan Army were also in chaos when they were caught in the fire, and the Funan Army began to collapse.
"At this time, the Zhenla Army, which had been fleeing in retreat, saw that the Funan Army was defeated and turned around to pursue them.
In this battle, the Funan Army was defeated.
The main force of the Funan Army was defeated by the coalition forces, and the commander-in-chief Balshaman also died in the rebellion. One hundred thousand of the main force were either killed or captured, and were all annihilated by the coalition forces.
The Sui and Zhen coalition forces took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack all the way to the vicinity of Kampong Cham, which was only more than 200 miles away from Funan City, the capital of Funan Kingdom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
