Next, the Tang army launched a devastating battle in various archipelagos in central Philippines.

Under the joint pressure of artillery and steel knives, one island after another was cleared and one village after another was conquered. In just over three months, all the islands in central Philippines were conquered by the powerful and elite Tang army.

Because these native villages had little contact with the civilized world, there were many tribes in the village that men, women, young and old all resisted together, which made the Tang army become fierce and massacres. According to statistics from officials from the Supervisory Office, there were nearly 100,000 natives in the central Philippines massacres by the Tang army, which was two-thirds of the natives in the central Philippines.

Because of the tragic killing, many years later, Luo Zheng, Tang Jun, still had such legends among these remaining natives.

That is, because the natives do not respect the gods, God sent Luo Zheng, the devil's messenger, to massacre all the natives who disrespect the gods. Although in the later years, most of the natives converted to Buddhism and believed in Catholicism in a very small number, the legend that Luo Zheng, the commander of the Tang army, was passed down.

After conquering the islands in central Philippines, Luo left garrison troops on each island, and led the main force of Bang B of Pingnan Town and all the artillery troops to return successfully in naval ships.

Li Xiao personally went out of the city to welcome the triumphant soldiers, set up a banquet, and gave great rewards to comfort the soldiers of the entire army.

The reason why Li Xiao was so happy was because he knew that the total area of ​​these islands in central Philippines was nearly twice that of Taiwan. Most of the islands were fertile and rich in resources. Even if they were not small islands, they would be more than enough to accommodate one or two million Han immigrants on the large islands.

As the most precious non-renewable resource on the earth, land is far more precious than all gold, silver and treasures in Li Xiao's eyes.

Afterwards, Li Xiao asked Luo Zheng's troops to replace Bing Camp in Pingnan Town to guard Luzon, and then issued a combat plan to attack the Sulu Sultanate Kingdom for Cao Bianjiao, the battalion commander of Bing Camp in Pingnan Town.

The Sulu Sultanate was a country established in 1380. Its area continued to expand. In addition to the southern Galodan Island of the country, it also included a series of islands such as Basilan Island, Tawitaway Island, Palawan Island, and the northeastern Borneo. When the country was at its peak, it invaded Mindanao and competed with the local Makingdanu Kingdom.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, King Sulu came to the Ming Dynasty in person and met Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Later, he died of illness in Dezhou, Shandong. Except for the eldest son returning to the country to inherit the throne, the rest of his sons were all left in Shandong, and his descendants became one of the sources of local Hui people in Shandong.

However, since the beginning of this era of navigation, the Sulu Sultanate has been deteriorating. First, it was defeated by the Dutch and completely lost its territory in Borneo. Then it was defeated by the Spaniards. Lands such as Basilan Island and Tawitaway Island were all taken away by Spain. In the end, the entire Sulu Sultanate has only part of the land in Nankalu, which can be said to be a candle in the wind and is still alive.

If Li Xiao had not traveled to this time and space, the Sulu Kingdom would have barely struggled until the beginning of the next century, and eventually died at the hands of the Spanish and eventually became part of the modern Philippines.

"The Sulu Kingdom was once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. He yearned for China and even paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. With this vassal love, our army was not too cruel. If possible, we should try our best to persuade surrender. If it is necessary, we should order Cao Bianjiao without any need." Li Xiao pointed to the map and issued an order to Cao Bianjiao: "If he is willing to surrender, all the royal staff of the Sulu Kingdom and the royal property of the royal family, our army can protect it, and all the royal staff can be moved to Taiwan to settle down to ensure that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and their descendants will be eternal."

Cao Bianjiao nodded: "What the Lord said is very true. I will definitely follow Lord Li's plan. But what if Sulu Kingdom resists stubbornly and swears not to surrender?"

"If this is the case, it will be like the story of the natives in the land of Luzon. The whole country slaughtered men and kept women as punishment." Li Xiao said coldly: "If they dare to fight our army to the end, then I don't mind destroying their clan and showing the power of our Tang army."

Cao Bianjiao bowed his hands and fists: "Okay, I'll write it down next."

Three days later, Li Xiao arranged for the soldiers and horses of Bing Camp in Pingnan Town, 2,000 musketeers, all artillery troops, 1,000 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, 1,000 flying kite light cavalry, and 1,000 rampant sentry soldiers to form the expeditionary army of the Sulu Sultanate.

This unit was led by Cao Bianjiao, the battalion commander of Bing Battalion in Pingnan Town, and Li Wanqing, the deputy battalion commander of Bing Battalion in Pingnan Town, as the deputy general. He rode more than 300 naval ships and headed straight to the southwest.

Due to heavy rain on the road, the Expeditionary Force delayed the road for two days, and took six days to reach Nankaludan Island, a four-day journey.

When they heard the news that the Tang army fleet was coming, Sulu Royal Court located in the capital and Lecheng was very surprised.

"You, have you seen it clearly?" King Sulu Wunulula asked the military soldiers who reported the news with a shocked look.

"Report to the king, I can see clearly below. The dense Tang warships, which were as dense as hundreds of Tang warships, were all floating high with a red-black Tang army flag, and rushed towards the coast of Lecheng and me."

King Sulu Wunulula was convinced and his face was filled with hesitation.

What's going on? Why did Tang Jun come here?

Wen Hala, the prime minister on the side, also frowned. He pondered for a while, and immediately reported to King Sulu Unulula: "His Majesty the King, the Tang army is so strange that it is important to send someone to investigate quickly."

Unulula nodded and said, "You are saying that the Tang army is a military force in the Celestial Kingdom. Since we have come to our country from afar, there must be something important. You can send people quickly to the coast to welcome you."

Prime Minister Wen Hala nodded and was about to go down to handle the matter, but suddenly a shout came from outside the palace: "Father, since the Tang army dares to attack me from afar, why not quickly raise troops to meet the enemy and destroy the enemy when they get ashore?"

Hearing this shout, King Sulu Wunulu frowned.

The Prime Minister Wen Gula next to him also looked embarrassed.

The person who shouted this sentence was his eldest son, the heir to the throne of the Sulu Sultanate Kingdom, Guma.

This great prince, Gu Mamo, has a strong and powerful figure, and has a strong and fierce personality. He has collected a group of people who are serving the death. He is very powerful in Sulu Kingdom. He also relies on his father's favor and even dares to dispatch troops privately.

Today, Gu Mamo also heard the news of the arrival of Tang Jun. He was shocked and rushed to the palace to ask for his father.

Soon, Gumamo rushed into the palace, and with a thump, he knelt down in front of Unulura.

"Father, the Tang army came from afar to invade our borders. Before we could reach the coast, our army should be ready to fight immediately!" Guma also reported with a hurried look on his face.

But Unulula coughed lightly and replied, "Child, the Tang army is a soldier of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom. This time, there must be an explanation. How can our remote vassal states resist the heavenly soldiers of the Supreme Kingdom?"

"Father! The Tang army came to invade our border quietly. Isn't it an act of the superior country? Good, you, don't punish such people who invade our border immediately, but treat them with courtesy. Wouldn't it be too weak?" He looked anxious.

"Stop talking, national affairs, how can you let nonsense here be here?" Unulula shouted: "How to explain to the Tang army, my father has his own opinions. Why do you need to say too much? You can't retreat quickly!"

He Gu Mamo stood up resentfully, looked at Unulula with resentment in his eyes, then stomped his feet hard, turned around and rushed out of the palace.

Looking at the back of the eldest prince leaving furiously, Unurula sighed with a disappointed look on his face.

However, he still ordered the Prime Minister Wengula who stood up embarrassedly, "Wengula, don't worry about him. You can quickly arrange personnel and prepare to welcome the Tang army."

Wengula responded, but when he had just finished selecting the messenger to greet him, he heard a terrible news.

That is, when the prince Wengula, who left the palace, was angry after being shouted back by the king, he actually unified an elite army of about 2,000 people and went to the coast of Hele City to prepare to fight against the Tang army that was on the ashore.

Wengula was almost so scared that she collapsed on the ground.

After waking up, he immediately returned to the palace and reported to Sulu King Wunulura.

When he heard that the eldest prince Gumamo led two thousand elite troops of Sulu Kingdom to fight the Tang army that had arrived ashore, Sulu King Wunulula was so scared that his face was almost as bright as a ground.

"Diet! Death! He Gumamo was so bold that he violated our emperor's order and led his troops to fight against the heavenly soldiers of the country. Zhenzhen was the way to die! He quickly sent someone to recall them and asked the forgiveness of the chief general of the Tang army. "Unulula hurriedly conveyed the order to Wengula.

Wen Gula repeatedly agreed and rushed out of the palace like a rabbit.

However, with the king's order, before leaving the city, the eldest prince Gu Mamo had already led his army to confront the Tang army that was on the ashore.

He saw coldly that the Tang army had just arrived ashore, and it was a mess of people and goods. When the military formation was in chaos, he suddenly thought to himself, Humph, you who dare to offend me so bravely, I am now taking advantage of this opportunity, so I must give you some color.

He Gu Mamo immediately ordered the entire army to launch an attack on the Tang army, striving to defeat these Tang army who came ashore in one fell swoop.

Standing at the side of the ship, he saw from the thousand-mile mirror that a large number of Sulu soldiers wearing bamboo and wood armor and holding scimitar shields were roaring at their own troops, Cao Bianjiao, the head of the Tang Expeditionary Army, flashed a cold smile on his face.

"Damn it, these southern barbarians are really hateful. They want to take advantage of our army's foothold and make a sudden attack. Don't think about it, just your little tricks, how can we be our army's opponents! It's still the foresight of the Captain Cao that came ashore in advance, but this rampant infantry that went ashore in advance was enough for them to drink a pot." Li Wanqing, the deputy general on the side, wiped a thick beard on his face and said with a sneer.

Cao Bianjiao also had a faint sneer on his face. He thought to himself, as expected, Sulu Kingdom really attacked his troops when he had just arrived. However, he did not expect that the first batch of troops to go ashore were the most powerful and rampant general soldiers in the Tang army, which was just a headache for these sneak attackers.

However, if we only defeated this Sulu army, it would be too cheap for them.

‘I passed this general order, and ordered the general army to rampant on the shore to immediately fight against Sulu’s country and attack the troops. At the same time, all the flying cavalry were sent to surround and eliminate these troops and horses of Sulu.”

"Get orders!"

The war was rumbling, and the rampant generals on the coast quickly fought with the Sulu army rushing towards him.

The Sulu Army, wearing bamboo and wood armor, holding a scimitar and bamboo and wood shield, saw clearly that the Tang army was rampant in front of them, and everyone was not aware of their eyes widening.

They were frightened to see that these rampant general soldiers, the most elite heavy-armored infantry in the Tang army, were all wearing three layers of armor, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and everyone was holding tiger guns, tiger swords, long-handled knives, heavy military sickles and other weapons. These heavy infantry like mecha monsters are simply the difference between tigers and monkeys compared with the poorly equipped Sulu Army.

When the two armies met, the general army was like crazy tigers. They jumped into the Sulu army's formation and slashed and killed. Wherever the swords and guns went, blood burst out and the remaining limbs flew. The Sulu army screamed and quickly fell at a disadvantage.

Seeing that his subordinates were twice the number of Tang troops on the opposite side, and he still took advantage of the chaos to attack, but he was quickly defeated by the Tang army. The eldest prince, Gu Mamo, was almost furious.

"Don't be shocked, kill me!"

The eldest prince shouted loudly and encouraged him. He led the way and fought hard with the Tang army's rampant general army.

However, just as the Sulu army was struggling, he had already heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from both sides of the army formation.

His face quickly turned pale.

It's over, the Tang army's cavalry teamed up and were about to be wiped out!

Gu Mama did not hesitate anymore, and a ruthless look flashed across his face. He immediately shouted to the guards and cavalrymen below, asking them to immediately abandon the Sulu army infantry who was struggling to flee back to Helecheng.

He Gu Mamo, with more than fifty cavalry guards, rushed into Helecheng City Gate like a group of wild dogs fleeing wildly.

When they had just escaped, the Flying Harrier Cavalry, divided into two parts, was already coming from the back of the Sulu Army with a sharp roar, like two sharp steel knives, and at the same time, fierce back rushing.

The Sulu army, who lost the main general and were attacked by the forward attack, finally collapsed under the fierce impact of the Tang cavalry.

They cried and threw away the scimitars and shields. Some people fled around like crazy, and some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, knocking their heads on the ground with a thumping sound.

When he was, all these actions were useless to the Tang Jun who was red-eyed. Amid the screams, Tang Jun raised his sword and killed his head.

Soon, nearly two thousand Sulu soldiers were killed by the Tang army, leaving no one left behind.

The originally white beach was quickly stained with blood, and the messy corpse was shocking at first glance.

After the short and fierce battle, Wengula, the Prime Minister of Sulu Kingdom, took several officials, and happened to walk around here from another city gate. Seeing such a tragic situation, he couldn't help but take a breath.

When Tang Jun saw Wen Gula and the others coming out, he rushed over with a cry of red eyes, intending to kill them all.

Seeing Tang Jun coming fiercely, Wengula was almost so scared that she peed her pants.

"Shangbang Tianshang! Don't kill me, I am Wengula, the Prime Minister of Sulu Kingdom. The battle just now was a misunderstanding!"
Chapter completed!
