The first confrontation between the two armies was on February 25th. Majapahit took the lead in attacking. Phetchaburi instantly became a hell on earth. With the war elephants of Khmer and Ayutthaya, Majapahit was held back.

Blocking the south gate.

Since ancient times, mounts have been scarce in Southeast Asia. Most of the time, infantry fights. Even if there are horses, most of them are used by nobles. The main reason is that the price is high and the assembly price is too high. It is not as practical as using infantry. Areas such as Khmer Ayutthaya were created under specific circumstances.

of.

Hamam Vulu tried to attack three times in total. The first time he continued to attack Phetchaburi, and the second time he moved to Mali to attack the defense line. There were nearly 300,000 Ayutthaya troops stationed in Mali. Hamam Vulu discovered that,

Once he attacked Mali, part of the garrison in Phetchaburi would come to support him. The third time he attacked the Phetchaburi defense line, and at the same time sent scouts to observe, and found that the two sides were indeed supporting each other.

On February 28th, Hamam Vulu made his fourth attack. He divided his army into two groups. One group attacked the Mali enemies first. The larger group waited until they were all gone and then broke through the Phetchaburi defense line in one fell swoop.

They were able to drive straight in and reach King Ayutthaya City, but he still miscalculated. Due to the huge size of the war elephants and the slow speed of support, the war elephant troops in Phetchaburi did not go to support them.

"Damn it, why didn't these war elephants come to support?" War elephants are more difficult to break through. Even Haram Wulu will have a headache for a while. He knows that this small force will not last long, so he seizes the time and sends troops to force a breakthrough.

.

The Majapahit soldiers charged forward like crazy, and the war elephants were naturally not afraid and kept charging forward. Soon, the war elephants could not withstand the attacks of these people, and the coalition forces retreated steadily.

Just when Hamam Wulu saw hope of breaking through the defense line, suddenly Mali's reinforcements came back. It turned out that Phetchaburi's army discovered that the Majapahit army had begun, and they went to seek support, while Mali's defenders

Naturally, they also discovered something was wrong. The firepower of this attack was much weaker than the previous attack. After receiving Phetchaburi's request for help, they realized that they were being attacked from the east and west, so they rushed to Phetchaburi for support.

Hamam Wulu screamed up to the sky unwillingly and ordered a retreat. In the past three days, the casualties and losses had basically resulted in the loss of nearly 10,000 troops.

Now that the morale of the entire military camp was low, Harbin Wulu knew that he could not continue like this and had to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible. He gathered the generals from various departments to discuss a solution.

"If you have any ideas, please express them."

"Raja, we can use ships to transport troops to their rear and attack them from both front and rear." This is the captain of the Bahayankara Guards. The Bahayankara Guards are the standing army of the Majapahit rulers. Their main task is to protect the king.

and nobles will also appear on the battlefield,

The Guards soldiers are equipped with huge rattan shields and machetes, and they also wear fine chainmail shirts. There are many soldiers with such characteristics. They also have one of the biggest characteristics, and also the biggest flaw -

-To show their bravery, they don't wear helmets.

Hamam Wulu looked at the captain with admiration. He was indeed the most elite force in their country, and he really thought of a good idea for him.

"Okay, let's adopt this plan and send people back to Malacca immediately to move the ships over." Hamam Wulu ordered.

Hamam Wulu added: "By the way, let the Malacca navy sail over from the western sea."

Although they are not afraid of their naval coalition at all, it is always better to be cautious. The naval power of the western coalition is much weaker, and it is best to transport the attack from the west.

On March 3, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, the first batch of troops successfully landed at Moji. Moji was located to the north of Mali. The first landing landed nearly 3,000 people. These 3,000 people were all the best among the best.

, it is expected that 50,000 people will land in the next three days, and then the attack will be launched.

Champa's domestic arsenal was about to be overwhelmed. They had to produce the artillery and naval guns that Zhu Yuanzhang needed. They were so busy that they were exhausted. On the same day, Champa delivered an order for a thousand naval guns, first from Ayutthaya.

After receiving the first money, Ayutthaya's naval equipment and combat effectiveness increased rapidly, but it was still far from breaking Majapahit's blockade. Majapahit also used naval cannons.

The New Koshari Kingdom in the era of Gerta Nagara was the most powerful country in Southeast Asia at that time, but this Gerta Nagara actually attempted death and insulted the Yuan Dynasty envoy. Then Emperor Kublai Khan sent 20,000 soldiers to an expedition to Java, but

Later admonition

Jayakawang, a descendant of the Yili royal family, rebelled and killed Guernathagara. The Yuan army did not know this and directly chased the rebels to fight. Roden Vejhaye, one of the founders of the Majapahit Kingdom

He decided to fight with the Yuan army against the traitors.

The coalition forces easily defeated the rebels, and then Roden Wecha turned against the enemy and directly defeated the unsuspecting Yuan army, seizing countless advanced materials, one of which was artillery. At the same time, this war made Roden's prestige rise.

Traveling across Southeast Asia, Manchu Boyi also took advantage of this to establish his empire.

In addition, many small kingdoms later gave artillery to Majapahit to pray for protection, which made Majapahit's military strength even higher.

The Majapahits even have a firearms force of about 10,000 people, using a firearm called the Tombak Fire Gate Gun. However, due to accuracy issues and long cooling time, the firearms force is not theirs.

The main force, plus they still prefer close combat.

The Majapahit's main battleship was a rogue ship, with a displacement of up to 2,000 tons. A rogue ship could be equipped with up to 100 Ket breech-loading guns, which was incredibly powerful. Later colonists were also deeply impressed by this kind of ship.

Comment on it: It was so high that our sailors did not dare to climb it and our shots did not damage it

, because it has four layers of planks, and our largest cannon can only penetrate two layers. In order to transport soldiers, the admiral removed all the guns from the ship just to transport more soldiers. In addition, he also used Krulru

The Si boat is a fast rowing boat that can carry ten soldiers at a time, but the victory lies in its speed.

In order to transport soldiers, Majapahit used 500 Krurus ships and 50 roving ships. Most of the roving ships were used to blockade Ayutthaya and the Khmer navy, so the ones that can be used now are not

not much.

On March 6, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, the two armies attacked the Mali defenders at the same time. They were caught off guard by the enemy at the rear. Fortunately, the Phetchaburi army defended in time. On the other hand, a messenger was sent to deliver the news to King Ayutthaya.
