Let's talk about Ling Cao's Marine Division. After separating from Li Yan's regiment, they went to Jiuzhen Pier to take a boat and fight towards Rinan City.

The transport ship and the five-masted warship sailed to Nichinan Pier together.

Ninan Pier, also called Beibu Gulf, is a very good port that can dock various large warships.

The key is that the exit of the pier is narrow, only a few thousand meters, and the port is extremely wide, capable of docking hundreds or thousands of warships.

Once defense measures are established in a narrow area, they can completely withstand warships coming from the sea.

Over the past few years, the navy spent a lot of money on Ninan Pier to build a very large terminal.

There are various facilities on the pier.

There is also strong resistance on land, and it is simply not something that the natives can defeat.

The soldiers and horses of Ninan County attacked several times, but each time they lost their troops and generals. They were beaten to the point of losing their armor and armor. Later, they ignored the dock.

After all, in this era, people's understanding of the ocean is very superficial, and they feel that docks are of little use.

Apart from docking the ship, it does nothing else.

A black line appeared in the distance of the dock, slowly revealing its true identity. More than a dozen warships and transport ships were slowly approaching.

Arrive at the dock in an orderly manner.

Ling Cao commanded the 20,000 Marine Division soldiers to step off the transport ship and enter the dock barracks.

The next day, the Marines were divided into four regiments and slowly pressed forward toward Rinan City.

Eliminate the indigenous tribes along the way.

First, let the natives accompanying the army persuade the natives in the tribe to surrender to the Xiakou Army. If they do not surrender, they will face an attack by the Xiakou Army.

Under threats and inducements, many native tribesmen had no choice but to compromise and agree to surrender to the Xiakou army.

Build roads for the Xiakou Army and open up the passage from the dock to Rinan City.

For the indigenous tribes who refused to surrender and fought to the end, Ling Cao did not hesitate to send troops to kill them all.

The Xiakou Army only wants obedient natives, not those with a rebellious spirit.

The main palace of Ninan City:

"King Zhao, Li Yanda's army is coming from the land, and the target is Rinan City. Ling Cao's army is coming from the sea, and it won't take many days to reach the city. Please prepare your retreat, King Zhao."

Prepare."

A general named Zhao said.

King Zhao was in a very unhappy mood.

Being beaten by the Xiakou army, they lost their armor and even Jiuzhen City. They abandoned Rinan City and had no choice but to flee into the jungle.

How were those days?

"Uncle Zhao, can't we defeat the Xiakou Army? It seems they don't have many troops, only 20,000 people."

Zhao Wangdao.

There are fifty thousand soldiers and horses in Rinan City. Although most of them are indigenous soldiers, there are not many real soldiers and horses from the Central Plains.

"King Zhao, Li Yan's regiment pushed all the way across, subduing the indigenous tribes along the way and becoming the construction army of the Xiakou Army.

As the Xiakou army advanced, more and more indigenous tribes chose to surrender. The 50,000 soldiers and horses in our city,

Nearly 40,000 people are indigenous, and the weapons in their hands cannot be compared with the soldiers of the Xiakou Army. The Xiakou Army is a well-trained and elite division.

Our indigenous soldiers are completely cannon fodder. Once the two armies fight, the indigenous soldiers will collapse immediately.

How to fight! Your Majesty, you should be mentally prepared to escape, otherwise you won't even have a chance to escape."

General Zhao said.

"Uncle Zhao, do you think we were wrong? If our ancestors had not surrendered and continued to be independent kings in this place, the situation would not be as bad as this.

Now people are in panic and have no fighting spirit. If they collapse in one blow, even if they escape, what achievements will they make?"

Zhao Wangdao.

"King Zhao, I am not the general to judge the ancestor's decision. However, I believe that surrendering to the Xiakou Army is a good choice. At least it can save lives, leave a legacy, and prevent the descendants of the Zhao family from disappearing in the long river of history.

"

General Zhao said.

"Uncle Zhao, are you sure that the Xiakou Army will spare my life, and will not kill them all and destroy the Zhao family."

Zhao Wangdao.

"King Zhao, during this period of humble duty, I have carefully studied Xiakou Qin Qi's fighting methods and how to deal with others.

He was a heroic figure. However, since Qin Qi took control of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, he had never seen the Xiakou army kill all the enemies.

As long as those who surrender, whether they are from a large family or the army, they will be admitted to a civilized school for three years at most.

It will be released. It will also be allocated to the fields, and it will not be eradicated. It can be regarded as a relatively benevolent person.

If the king takes the initiative to surrender, he should receive good treatment."

General Zhao said.

Tangled!

King Zhao was very confused.

I cannot be a good king of Yamashiro, and I must be depressed. The key is that I now face the two choices of fleeing and surrendering.

escape!

Where can I escape to?

It is not easy to survive in the tropical jungle. You will be attacked by poisonous snakes, scorpions, ants, and centipedes at any time, and you may die at any time.

"Uncle Zhao, what are we Central Plains soldiers thinking?"

Zhao Wangdao.

"The morale is low and the fighting spirit is completely lost. When they heard that the Xiakou army was coming to kill, the soldiers were extremely anxious and just wanted to survive.

How can such soldiers resist the well-trained veterans of the Xiakou Army?"

General Zhao said.

well!

"Uncle Zhao, it seems that the soldiers don't want to fight. It's my own selfish motives. I must fight with the people from the Central Plains."

Zhao Wangdao.

"Uncle Zhao, send someone to negotiate with the Xiakou Army about surrender, but try your best to get good treatment."

Zhao Wangdao.

"According to the order!"

General Zhao said.

…

The Marines conquered this area and annihilated the unsubmissive indigenous tribes one by one, leaving no further trouble.

The surrendered natives obtained the food, cloth, tools and other materials from the Marine Corps through labor.

For the indigenous people, the Xiakou Army would not provide relief and could only rely on their hands to exchange supplies. The Xiakou Army was not the savior.

Even if the surrendered natives want to obtain the Central Plains household registration, it is not an easy task. They must be able to speak the Central Plains dialect and understand the Central Plains etiquette.

The most important thing is to swear filial piety and loyalty to the Central Plains Dynasty, and must not violate it from generation to generation, otherwise, you will be punished by heaven and earth and be struck by five thunders.

"General Ling, we have killed a tiger and we can eat tiger meat tonight."

The guard smiled.

oh!

"Don't damage the tiger skin. Take it back and give it to the lord."

Ling Cao said.

"As you command!"

Guard Road.

A soldier hurried in.

"Report to General Ling that the King of Zhao in Rinan City has sent an envoy to ask for an audience?"

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

"Please come in!"

Ling Cao said.
