Zhang Youde made all preparations, and the supplies on the ship were all moved. Seven or eight British warships with the meter-shaped flag arrived here rashly. The sudden arrival of the British made the Nanyang Navy's fleet alert. The entire Ceylon Island was divided into two parts. The east was the Ming Dynasty occupied area and the west was the British occupied area. The British always regarded this first colony connecting the Far East as a treasure. West Ceylon Island obviously did not disappoint the British. He was very close to the Ming Dynasty. The British obtained benefits that many European countries did not have in the trade between the British and the Ming Dynasty. The warships ordered by the British from the Ming Dynasty could also be traded through this island. This was even the main battlefield away from Europe. The British even planned to train a new army here and make plans to prepare for the future. They were ready to pull the new army to Europe when the war failed to fail to turn the world.

Of course, this idea is not very realistic, but it is not a solution. At this time, Johnson, the governor of Ceylon, came Baba with a fleet. The first is naturally to maintain the traditional friendship with the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Ming army sent such a large fleet and the army to participate in this action against the Indians without warning. Johnson felt that the goddess who held wealth was waving to him. This was an excellent opportunity. In a hurry, Johnson immediately launched an order to cooperate in action and led the poor British fleet to come excitedly. On the other hand, he hurriedly sent a note to Li Dingguo, agreeing to participate in the military operation.

Li Dingguo did not object to this ally who was rushing to come. After all, when you were going to start a war against a big country, a fool suddenly ran out to help you. Naturally, Li Dingguo would not object. Although he was not optimistic about the strength of the British, he even brought dry food and would not be a slight drag on the Ming army. So what else can I say?

Johnson transformed into a commander of the British Legion of the Expeditionary Force, and arrived here. After contacting the Nanyang Navy Liu Er, he presented the order from the Chief of Staff of Li Dingguo, and immediately began to land.

"God of General, I have heard that your country won a victory here not long ago." After landing, Hansen immediately made an appointment with Zhang Youde. What I have to say is that Hansen's Chinese is now very fluent. After all, his main job is to contact the Ming Dynasty. Chinese is a necessary language. In the past two years, he has often dealt with Han officials and studied hard. Now, although he cannot do so, he still has no problem with ordinary dialogue and communication.

Zhang Youde has always been a man who doesn't beat people with a smile. When he met the other party's initiative to strike up a conversation and there was also a introduction from Chief Li, he did not show his face to the other party: "You are coming, the army is about to set off immediately. Is the general divided his troops and fought together?"

Johnson is not an idiot. He only has three thousand people under him, and his weapons and equipment are one level short of Mingjun. He came to see if there is any oil to take advantage of, so he was naturally the first priority in safety. He hurriedly said: "We are willing to act with the general."

Zhang Youde nodded, but felt that these blonde and blue-eyed foreigners were just a slap in their arms. However, since they were in a desperate manner, Zhang Youde naturally had nothing to say. After all, the princess was also the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not good to tear her face.

Zhang Youde arranged the British army behind him, and asked them to protect the artillery battalion of the Ming army, and then began to pull out the camp. At this time, a scout came hurriedly, gasping for breath, and reported: "Governor General, some barbarians have come here, and people are everywhere in the mountains and fields."

Zhang De was excited. He didn't expect that these Indian barbarians would have the courage to come and immediately asked: "How many people are there?"

"The mountains and fields are everywhere. There is no end to see. There is no small number of people. There is at least more than 100,000."

Zhang De looked solemn: "Transfer the order. Form a defensive formation and prepare for combat.

”

Ramashjam sat freely on the giant elephant facing the canopy. The giant elephant was roaring and slowly stepped forward step by step. Around the prince's land, the soldiers and armor surged forward with the pace of the giant elephant. Ramashjam was naturally very proud at this time. You know, just yesterday, the giant elephant under his seat was still a mount on his brother's land. But now everything belongs to him.

"Forward." Ramashjam's cheerful voice urged his troops to advance. What is the Ming army? I heard that there were only 30,000 people. I really don't know how Pandit's idiot fights. Maybe it was the great god Shiva favored him. Are you destined to give this opportunity to me, gain the trust of the father and obtain the throne?

King Xunke is really good to this young son. This time, not only did the only remaining elephant cavalry be allocated to him, but even 20,000 Marati cavalry were paid in his hands. In addition, there were 100,000 temporary recruitment.

The troops who were able to save the land were almost all the family of King Xunke. Ramashi knew nothing about military affairs and only had the comparison of numbers for war. Will the army of nearly 150,000 still be able to destroy 30,000 Han people? Ramashijam thought with confidence, but he had some trouble.

The initiator of the trouble was the commander of the ten thousand men of the cavalry. After the Afghan rulers were defeated by foreign Mongols, most of the entire India became the territory of the Mughal dynasty. The Mughal Emperor combined administrative, military, judicial and religious powers. He was the supreme leader of the empire, the supreme commander, the supreme judge and the supreme minister of Islam. The central government has departments such as finance, military, judicial, religious and supervision, and ministers from various departments are directly responsible to the emperor. The country is divided into twenty-one provinces and governors are sent to rule. Civil and military officials implement a unified military rank system and hierarchy system, with a total of ranks, with the highest being ten thousand men and the lowest being ten thousand men.

Although due to religious contradictions and the decline of the Mughal dynasty, the local kings were independent and confronted the central dynasty, the local kings still retained the military system of the Mughal dynasty, and the ten thousand men of the elephant cavalry were the highest officer of the elephant cavalry.

Lord Wanfu has participated in the battle between the eldest prince Pandit and the Han army. The rain-like artillery fire has made him lose the courage to face the Han people: "Your Highness, I think you should not be so rash. The Ming army's artillery is very powerful and has a very high range. If we attack them on the beach, they can get the support of gunboats from the sea, which is worse than..."

Before the Captain Wan had finished his words, Ramashijam was already furious and dared to call himself rash in person. This guy was obviously from Pandit and his gang. Yes, Pandit has always led the elephant cavalry, and this Captain Wan was obviously supporting the eldest prince. Ramashijam pulled his face and sneered: "What? My Captain Wan, are you scared by the Han people like my brother? Well, since you are afraid of sacrifice, there will be someone to take over your position. You can leave here at any time without having to participate in this battle. Shiva will only bless the fearless warrior, not a timid coward."

The face of the ten thousand men was one. The title of ten thousand men was not just an official title, but also a hereditary title. The little prince said that the removal of his position also meant to remove him. You should know that the removal of his position is nothing, but if he removes the title, he loses his fief and becomes a civilian from then on. The whole family will follow him and drink the northwest wind: "Your Highness, Prince, I am willing to protect you with my life."

The head of the ten thousand men bowed a chest tribute and didn't dare to do anything, looking obedient and obedient.

Ramashijam smiled and forgave the ten thousand men's commander with great magnitude. Then he passed the order and the entire army accelerated its advance.

Every evening, thick clouds and mists in southern India entrenched in the sky. The setting sun could only take a little gap and burst into crimson clouds, just like fish swimming in the deep sea, occasionally rolling with golden scales. At this moment, the Ming soldiers had dug trenches and set up simple antlers, waiting for the enemy to appear on this beach.

One scout after another sent back the news, the Indians were coming quickly, with the intention of seeking a battle of the Ming army to the death. Zhang Youde narrowed his eyes. He was really puzzled. Yesterday, he defeated the barbarian's elephant cavalry at one time. He really couldn't figure out that at this time the barbarians had the courage to fight to the decisive battle. He kept guessing in his heart, and he couldn't think of any conspiracy that the Indians would have.

Since that's the case, there is no way. If you come to block the water and cover the soil, Zhang Youde ordered people to quickly build simple fortifications and strive to build some support for the Haidu Legion before the Indians arrived. The trenches were very easy to dig. This was a beach, and the underground was filled with quicksand. In a moment, a trench that was several miles long was dug. All the Ming army hid in a simple bunker, loaded gunpowder, and leaned against the sand pit with a musket.

Finally, the Indian vanguard troops arrived first. They stopped a few miles away and then began to assemble. Zhang Youde stood in the trench and kept looking at the other party's movements with a monocular telescope. After watching half of the incense stick, he put down the lens tube with relief. According to his experience, these barbarians came quickly, which also means that they could not have enough time to perform any conspiracy. If it were just a strong attack, Zhang Youde would naturally not be afraid of these barbarians.
