After aiming the look of the Shenji Crossbow with the sight of the star and aiming at the chest of the indigenous general who was slashing on the platform opposite, crossbowman Tan Sangou showed a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

With a slight sound of the crossbow machine, three poisonous crossbow arrows shot out from the hole beside the stone.

A crossbow arrow passed by the indigenous general and shot an indigenous person who could not dodge his head.

A crossbow arrow shot a beast bone ring on the arm of the native general, and bounced away with a snatch.

Another crossbow arrow hit the chest of the native general with a very accurate shot. The crossbow arrow whistled out of his chest and shot out from his back.

A large mass of blood mist spurted out from his chest. The indigenous general screamed and fell to the ground on his back, twitching and dying.

Seeing this indigenous general, he was sniped in front of him, so the indigenous people who fled into the village suddenly fell into chaos.

All Tang army, including Tan Sangou, did not know that this indigenous general was actually the eldest son of Kubutun V, King Majingdanu, and the first successor to the throne, Prince Palena.

Tan Sangou's smile on his face was almost as bright as the sunshine after the rain.

He turned around and made gestures to the Tang army in the distance, telling them to take advantage of this time the indigenous general was shot and killed, and immediately seize the opportunity to attack the village.

When Tang Jun outside the village saw Tan Sangou's gesture, he heard a chaotic shouting in the village, which made him feel very excited.

With a whisper, Li Haoran drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the enemy general is dead, and his formation is in chaos. Our army quickly attacks and captures Chinmao Village!"

All Tang soldiers shouted in unison and rushed towards the village.

When they saw those natives running around in the village like headless flies, the Tang army immediately fired crossbow arrows without hesitation.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..."

Crossbow arrows shot away, and countless natives fell to the ground screaming. Then, the natives who were in a state of collapse fled everywhere, while the Tang army rushed to pursue them quickly behind.

The Tang army ran and chased after more than a mile, and only retreated back to Bamao Village after all the natives escaped into the dense rain forest.

At this point, the entire Bamao Village was finally successfully captured.

In addition to the indigenous people who had just been eliminated outside the village, the Tang army wiped out more than 3,000 indigenous people inside and outside the Bamao village, and completely won the battle.

Tan Sangou, who helped the Tang army capture Bamao Village and made great contributions, was immediately promoted to Chief of Armor and awarded the Tiger Roar Medal.

With this Tiger Roar Medal, Tan Sangou can receive 50 yuan as a reward, and he can also grant 20 acres of land. Whether these lands are in Taiwan, Luzon, the central islands, and even the conquered Mindanao, he will choose.

Tan Sangou, who was originally just an ordinary soldier, saw that he was promoted so vigorously and awarded the Tiger Roar Medal, which was both a rare honor and a great material harvest, was so excited that he burst into tears.

My life goals have finally been achieved.

After the rewards of merits were completed, Li Haoran immediately arranged to cremate all the natives and Tang soldiers who died in battle to avoid the rapid corruption of the corpses in this stuffy and humid environment.

The ashes of the natives were swept into the rainforest on the spot, while the ashes of the Tang army were placed in the urns and labeled separately. They were prepared to be buried in a unified manner after being transported back to Sanbaoyan.

After arranging the army to garrison in important places in the village, these Tang soldiers who fought hard all the way finally had a good night's sleep.

However, they all lie in their arms and put their weapons beside them so that they can be ready to deal with the indigenous attacks at any time.

Even so, these extremely tired Tang Jun still slept very sweetly, and snoring sounds one after another.

Of course, Li Haoran knew that the indigenous general had been killed by himself and the indigenous people were already without a leader, so in a short period of time, he should be unable to attack again.

However, as the general of the army, Li Haoran was not sleepy on this quiet night.

He was thinking about a lot of things.

That is, the enemy is so fierce and tenacious and fearless, and it is not easy for the Tang army to completely conquer this barbaric and religious nation.

It is actually far from enough to rely on one's own general.

If we really want to completely eliminate the Majingdanu country and truly occupy the entire Mindanao Island, the Tang army must invest more and more troops.

Because these indigenous people who are still in their original state, the so-called capital Sultan Kudala, may be just a larger village. If the living forces of these indigenous people cannot be eliminated, even if they capture their capital Sultan Kudala, it will be useless.

Only by taking advantage of the navy's advantages from different regions and collectively attacking the capital of Majingdanu from different regions can those rampant indigenous people lose sight of one thing and eventually eliminate them.

So, Li Haoran flipped out of the floor and immediately wrote his thoughts into letters, preparing to take them back to Cao Bianjiao by the guards tomorrow.

The next morning, after the Tang army finished breakfast, Li Hao immediately ordered the troops composed of a thousand crossbow soldiers and 500 shield soldiers to take the urns of the fallen Tang army, and urgently withdraw Sanbaoyan, and then report the situation here to Cao Bianjiao.

These retreating soldiers returned to Sanbaoyan very smoothly. After returning the urns of the fallen Tang army to Cao Bianjiao, they handed him the letter from Li Haoran.

After reading Li Haoran's letter, Cao Bianjiao fell into deep thought.

He must admit that Li Haoran’s words made sense. If the Majingdanu country did not destroy their living power, it would be useless to capture many villages and towns, even if they captured their capital.

If we want to completely eliminate this barbaric nation with a total population of up to 150,000 or 60,000, it will only allow more Tang troops to come to Mindanao Island to participate in the suppression. Otherwise, the strength of this general B in Camp C would be far from enough.

Cao Bianjiao agreed with Li Haoran's opinion. After letting these retreating General Yi soldiers rest for a day, he asked them to bring more supplies, as well as some flying cavalry and spearmen, to return to Bamao Village with them.

Cao Bianjiao asked Li Haoran to temporarily stop the attack and defend himself on the spot. After more reinforcements arrived, he would arrange the battle uniformly.

Afterwards, Cao Bianjiao wrote a letter to Li Yu, hoping that he could send more teams to come as soon as possible so that the battle on Mindanao could proceed faster and smoothly.

After receiving Cao Bianjiao's letter, Li Xiao also agreed with Li Haoran's proposal.

This battle to destroy the country was so brave and desperate, and under the premise that the barbarians did not have enough troops to come to villages to wipe out it. It would be absolutely impossible to destroy the Majingdanu country.

To deal with such a nation and under such harsh geographical conditions, it is an unrealistic fantasy to try to win by taking advantage of opportunities.

Li Xiao remembered many time travel novels in his previous life. Many time travelers could easily wipe out the Majingdanu country without any effort, as if they were playing a completely asymmetric game.

This is really whimsical.

They did not consider that in this wet and rainy, roads are difficult to move, and there are primitive tropical rainforests everywhere, when muskets and artillery are almost difficult to play, these Majingdanu natives, who are fearless and have the conditions of taking advantage of the situation, and have the conditions of taking advantage of the situation, the right time, place, and people, and how could they easily surrender and submit to the situation.

If they were really so easily eliminated, why could the Makindanu country tenaciously resist Spain for centuries, and until the end of the nineteenth century, it was barely conquered by the modern US military on a high degree of autonomy?

It can be seen from the strength of this nation, they can be said to be one of the most difficult nations to conquer in the entire Southeast Asia region.

It is simply impossible for those time travel novels to destroy them so easily because of the muskets and cannons.

So Li Xiao immediately ordered that in the next two months, he would make every effort to build enough magic crossbows to equip all the crossbow soldiers of the third battalion of A, B and C in Pingnan Town, and then sent all the crossbow soldiers of the two battalions of A, B and B to Sanbaoyan, and be commanded by Cao Bianjiao.

At the same time, the Tang army navy temporarily followed Cao Bianjiao's arrangements and sent these troops to various landing sites according to his orders.

In late August of the 13th year of Chongzhen, the two battalions A and B, and the C battalions of the C battalions of the C battalions of the total five battalions were all trained and distributed the Shenji crossbow. After bringing a large number of baggage, they were immediately transported to Sanbaoyan by the Tang army navy.

More than ten days later, when Cao Bianjiao saw the rolling soldiers transported from the fleet, he was so happy that he could not describe it in words.

After all the soldiers rested in Sanbaoyan for three days, Cao Bianjiao immediately ordered the Tang army naval division to operate the generals of the Tang army to each landing point to launch an attack.

Among them, the two generals of the A camp in Pingnan Town, led by Zukuan, the deputy battalion commander of the A camp, went to Kotabato town in southern Mindanao, and attacked from south to north to Sultan Kudala, the capital of the Majingdanu country.

The two generals of Bandit B, led by E Bilun, deputy battalion leader of Bandit B, headed to Wuduan in the northern part of Mindanao Island, and attacked from north to south toward the capital of Majingdanu.

Cao Bianjiao himself led the two generals of General Yi and General B of the B camp to set out from Bamao Village, from west to east, and attack Sultan Kudala.

From then on, the Tang army targeted the first city of Sultan Kudala and attacked together.

On Medan Island, a devastating attack was carried out on Majingdanu villages and towns everywhere, and all villages were slaughtered. On these distant and wild lands, the Tang army completely turned into a crazy and cruel beast.

However, there is no way to defeat them. After all, for such a race that is almost human-shaped beast, the only way to defeat them is to be more cruel and cruel than them.

Even so, the battle between the Tang army was not smooth.

Although those natives were repeatedly defeated, they always seized the opportunity to invade and attack the Tang army, causing a lot of damage to the Tang army.

One and a half months later, the Zukuan army, who was closest to Sultan Kudara, finally captured the city of Sultan Kudara.

Zu Kuan saw that the Sultan Kudala City was only more than two miles away, and it was about the same size as the Qianhu Fort of the Ming army, but it only had a simple earth wall and had not even dug a moat.

Zu Kuan suddenly felt secretly happy that such a small city dared to be called the capital, which shows how backward this barbaric nation is.

Surprisingly, Kubutun V, the king of Sultan Kudala, did not escape, but instead led the last elite troops of more than 4,000 people to station at the city of Sultan Kudala.

Kubuthun Five dressed up and stood at the top of the city, as if not fighting, but going to a feast.

Perhaps, he hopes to use his own approach to the front in person to inspire the morale and fighting spirit of the defenders.

Seeing the King Kubutun V of Majingdanu, who was wearing a gorgeous dress standing on the top of the city, after a cruel battle of one and a half months, Zu Kuan, who was thin, dark all over, and injured in many injured soldiers on his body, gritted his teeth hard, and a cruel ferocious look flashed across his face.

"My sons, please listen to me. All the crossbow soldiers approached the attack and shot the defenders on the city. The shield soldiers cut down trees and created siege equipment. Mom was so slap, but I didn't believe it. I couldn't destroy this barbarian king here!" Zu Kuan ordered loudly with resentment.

"Get orders!"

Next, the Tang army of Zukuan's troops began to divide into two units. The shield soldiers rushed to build equipment such as crashes and siege ladders, while the crossbow soldiers surrounded the Sultan Kudala City and kept shooting the indigenous soldiers stationed at the top of the city with their divine crossbows.

Of course, when they were shooting, the native guards on the city wall kept fighting back with bows and arrows. However, the range of the native bows and arrows was too short, and the damage caused to the Tang army crossbow soldiers who were sixty steps away was very limited.

In this way, Zukuan's troops were stalemate with the defenders for a week outside the Sultan Kudara City.

During this week, the crossbow soldiers of Zukuan's army killed at least six or seven hundred Majingdanu soldiers who were stationed at the top of the city.

Often, as soon as the natives showed their heads, several poisonous crossbow arrows roared over, shooting their accidentally exposed heads like watermelons.

A week later, the siege equipment of Zukuan's troops were built. At this time, the Ebilun tribe of Yiying, Pingnan Town, which was attacking from north to south, also arrived outside the city of Sultan Kudala.

So, the two armies merged and immediately began to attack the city of Sultan Kudara.

The two gates of Sultan Kudara City were smashed hard by a huge and sturdy car crash. On the simple city wall, newly prepared siege ladders were mounted. The Tang army in the brigade attacked the city head like an ant on the corner of the baton.

In just one hour, the remaining defenders in the city and the indigenous people in the city were all killed by the Tang army.

While the Tang army was attacking the central palace, the palace of the Majingdanu Kingdom suddenly caught fire.

It turned out that when the situation was hopeless, King Kubuthun V of Makindanu, and his four wives, dressed in the best decorations and clothes, sang and danced in this palace, and died of self-immolation.

Seeing the palace getting angry, Zu Kuan regretted it and stamped his feet.

Because he knew that there were many treasures in this palace, which were extremely rich, but now they were burned all over by fire, so how can it not be regrettable?

In the end, he was able to extinguish the fire quickly, and finally he only obtained more than 100 taels of gold and more than 10,000 taels of silver in the Sultan Kudara Palace. All the other treasures were destroyed, which made Zu Kuan sigh.

The total of all the seizures in the entire capital, Sultan Kudala, was only more than 200 taels of gold, more than 50,000 taels of silver, more than 100,000 stones of food, and some poorly-textured silk fabrics made Zu Kuan, who was eager to capture the royal capital and make a fortune, was disappointed.

Although the Sultan Kudala city was captured, the Majingdannu people from all over the country were still rebelling spontaneously. After nearly two months of attack, the Tang army finally wiped out all the Majingdannu people. The Majingdannu country was finally completely destroyed.

This Mindanao Island, which was covered with blood and sweat, finally fell into the hands of the Tang army in a complete and complete manner.

At this point, the entire Philippines was under the hands of the Tang army, and the Tang army's southern expedition finally completed the most critical and difficult step.
Chapter completed!
