Liang Daoming's eyes were fierce. He held a wooden shield inlaid with iron in his left hand and a long scimitar in his right hand. He shouted sternly: "Take back our land and drive away Majapahit! Kill with me!"
"kill!"
The hysterical shouting was filled with anger, hatred and murderous intent.
Among this group of people, there were natives who were good at fighting, warriors who abandoned their homes and wandered away and wanted to break out of the world, and businessmen who lost everything and were taken in by Liang Daoming.
Without exception, they are all warriors, and these warriors are not born.
The wars between Srivijaya and Majapahit are no longer one or two. There are several large and small conflicts every year. In order to avoid destroying the country and destroying the family, Liang Daoming and Shi Jinqing adopted the policy of "all the people are soldiers".
All men over the age of sixteen are soldiers in the Srivijaya army. In their spare time, they form formations and train. This is why Srivijaya has only 100,000 people, but has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers.
It's just that Liang Daoming had problems with defense. He divided his main force into two and deployed it in the southern bay. Although he defended the long coastline and prevented Majapahit from invading from the south, he also consumed nearly 50% of his troops. sergeant.
Other sergeants also needed to protect the old port, the north, the west and the imperial palace. The scattered troops, coupled with the sudden attack on the old port, were a major reason for Liang Daoming's failure and retreat.
Even so, Srivijaya's military strength cannot be underestimated.
Liang Daoming and Shi Jinqing are both outstanding generals. They are not the peaceful "emperors" of the Central Plains. They have the power to deprive others of their rights. Their rights were given by the people of Sanfoqi, and their mission is to protect the Three Buddhas. together.
Even in high positions, they have never forgotten their original aspirations and have always maintained their fighting ability. Although Liang Daoming is old, he is still on the front line.
This is not because Liang Daoming wants to steal the limelight, but because he knows very well that the best way to boost morale is to take the lead and fight on the front line.
There wasn't much strategy at the beginning of this battle, or the strategy was just to pull out the antlers deployed by Majapahit's army and defeat all the enemies in sight.
Shi Jinqing was tall and mighty. He used his spear to pick apart the antlers of the deer, jumped over the trench first, killed several people, and opened up a forward position. Then Liang Daoming led his army to kill. More than 5,000 people versus more than 5,000 people. They should have been evenly matched. , you came and I fought fiercely, but as soon as the war started, Majapahit's army completely collapsed.
In the darkness, the Majapayi generals did not know how many troops Liang Daoming and Shi Jinqing had. At first glance, they heard the sound of killing all over the sky. How could they not panic?
Originally, he wanted to mobilize the army and command everyone to fight back, but an arrow flew from nowhere and sent him back to Majapahit's homeland...
If the leading general dies, the army will be unable to support itself.
A man cannot walk without a head, a bird cannot fly without a head, there is no commander, and the deputy commander is afraid of death and runs away with only one foot, so how can we fight?
Poor, just soldiers.
Without wasting much effort, Liang Daoming and Shi Jinqing killed more than 800 enemies and captured more than 1,000 people. The other 3,000 people had already dispersed. Regarding the surrender of prisoners, Liang Daoming did not kill them all, but persuaded 300 people to join Srivijaya through words, and the other 700 people were allowed to stay where they were.
As for whether they chose to stay or leave, Liang Daoming didn't care and had no time to care about them.
At this time, the sky has
Shine brightly.
Liang Daoming summoned the soldiers of Sanfoqi and ordered: "Shi Jinqing will lead 1,500 people from here to the southeast and attack the north of the old port. Zheng Junli will lead 1,500 people and attack the south of the old port. The others will follow me. Retake the palace, attack the old port, and at this time tomorrow, we must drive the Majapahit army out of Sriwijaya!"
"As you command!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Liang Daoming did not delay. After arranging the military strategy, he immediately ordered the attack.
Time waits for me.
Liang Daoming knew clearly that after many days of pressure and containment by the Ming Dynasty Navy, the Majapahit army was very tired. The reason why it was chosen during the day was because Majapahit's main force in the old port was even more awake at night. Being on guard gives them more fighting power, and daytime is their period of fatigue after a night of vigilance and vigilance.
This is the best time to attack.
Although there were only less than 6,000 men, Liang Daoming still divided his army into three and moved towards the southeast Old Port with an unstoppable momentum.
Originally, the entire Srivijaya territory was not large, with less than 500 miles from east to west. Later, it was eroded by Majapahit and Manlajia and other countries, and the distance from east to west was less than 300 miles. After fighting out of the forest, Liang Daoming is only more than a hundred miles away from the old port and the bay.
Liang Daoming's intention is obvious, that is to recapture the old port and the entire Srivijaya within twelve hours!
This is a very ambitious decision that also tests the sergeant's abilities.
Twelve hours, not counting the time to kill the enemy, just a forced march of a hundred miles is enough to shock people.
You must know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the standard for the selection of special forces of the Wei State as "martial soldiers" was only half a day's travel of "one hundred miles", but the hundred miles here is only equivalent to sixty miles in later generations.
For a daily army, even if a regular march is based on five hours a day, it can only cover thirty to fifty miles; for an urgent march, it needs to be carried lightly, and five hours a day can cover a hundred miles, but this is rarely the case. , basically when we got to the place, we didn’t have much energy left to fight.
A non-strong army will never use forced marches easily.
But Liang Daoming chose not to march in a hurry, but to march by force!
The distance of more than a hundred miles is just a distance, and on this road, there is Majapahit's army.
Not only do they have to run over, they also have to fight and win!
In order to realize the strategy of retaking Srivijaya in one day, they had to march rapidly for at least five or six hours, and they also had to maintain fighting physical strength, which required a strong will and a strong belief.
Liang Daoming was lucky. His sergeants had the will and belief to regain their homeland and homeland.
Shi Jinqing was a brave man. After marching more than 20 miles in a hurry, he saw the Majapahit army waiting in formation from a distance. He did not stop at all. Nearly two hundred people changed their longbows while running.
When they were less than fifty steps away from Majapahit's army, they fired three volleys in succession, and then shouldering their long bows, the broadsword team and the spear team rushed over with shouts.
Majapayi's army that stopped Shi Jinqing consisted of 4,000 men and 800 cavalry. However, when faced with the lifeless attack of Shi Jinqing and others, these people also became afraid.
"Kill me, kill them!"
Majapahit's generals shouted loudly and ordered the attack.
The cavalry moved and the ground shook.
Shi Jinqing said sharply: "Prepare the bamboo spear!"
Rows of sergeants behind them took off their bamboo guns one after another.
, said to be a bamboo spear, is just a three-foot-long bamboo joint with one end sharpened.
When the cavalry was galloping, nearly twenty steps away, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, Shi Jinqing shouted loudly: "Throw!"
Bamboo spears flew out in rows, and the simple leather armor of the Majapahit cavalry was unable to block this intensive attack at such a close distance.
As the bamboo spears covered them, Majapahit's leading cavalry suddenly fell on its back and suffered heavy losses.
Shi Jinqing fired his spear and knocked down a cavalryman who was fighting in front of him. He grabbed the reins of the horse and stamped on the ground. He flew onto the horse, turned the horse's head, and looked at the Majapayi cavalry not far away, his eyes full of fighting intent. .
"kill!"
Shi Jinqing dropped his spear and pierced Sergeant Majapahit who was lying on the ground howling, and shouted loudly.
There were bamboo spears, spear teams, sword teams and snatched horses, plus Shi Jinqing took the lead and charged into the Majapahit cavalry camp like a god of war. Majapahit's cavalry team soon felt great pressure.
The Srivijaya sergeant in the back row had opened his long bow and started a new round of volley. This volley was not aimed at the infantry and cavalry that had been intertwined, but at the infantry covering Majapahit's supporting cavalry. .
Cut the path for the Majapahit infantry to support the cavalry, creating opportunities for Shi Jinqing and others to win. General Majapayi shouted wildly, and the sergeants poured down batch after batch, but they were still unable to break through the rain of arrows.
Due to factors such as iron smelting and climate, almost no Majapahit or Srivijaya sergeants had iron armor. The protection on their bodies was mainly leather armor and rattan armor. There were also many sergeants who did not wear any protection.
In this case, the damage of the bow and arrow is amplified.
Shi Jinqing urged his horse to cross the spear, and he lay on the horse's back. As they passed each other, the sharp spear tip tore open the waist of a cavalryman. He stood up suddenly, his spear danced, and with a whining sound, it hit a horse. The cavalryman's chest, knocking him off his horse.
After Shi Jinqing killed seven or eight people one after another, no one around him dared to fight against him. Majapahit's cavalry began to panic, and the cavalry restrained by the Srivijaya infantry were also in trouble.
The javelins stabbed many cavalry to death, causing the subsequent cavalry to fail to charge and unable to keep up, which greatly weakened the impact of the cavalry. After being fought by the infantry, these cavalry could only sit on horseback and wield their swords and guns to attack. Cutting it off does not cause much damage.
The reason is very simple. Although the sergeants of Srivijaya do not have armor, they do have shields. When the cavalry can only circle in place, the shield can be pushed and blocked to provide good protection. When used with spears or swords to attack, the cavalry will become a target. .
In less than a quarter of an hour, Majapahit's 800 cavalry lost more than 150. The other cavalry either fled or fell off their horses to beg for mercy, losing their fighting spirit.
Shi Jinqing, who was furious with the killing, led the 100 "cavalry" temporarily formed by Srivijaya and arrogantly rushed into the army formation of 3,000 people. Such a fierce and fearless posture, as if the god of death was coming, destroyed the Manchurians. Boyi’s military formation,
One hundred breaking three thousand is almost unrealistic, just like this, it drips on the earth in the form of blood.
Three thousand were defeated not only because of Shi Jinqing's one hundred cavalry, but also because of the more than a thousand soldiers behind him, and because of the loss of confidence in being unable to defeat.
People who seek revenge are more aggressive.
Shi Jinqing wiped the blood on his face, raised his hand and raised a bloody human head, and shouted: "Who dares to fight me?"
