After finally containing the defeated troops, another round of artillery bombardment began.

This time I couldn't hold it anymore. In fact, there were not many casualties. The main reason was that it was difficult to overcome the fear in my heart.

The soldiers standing on the roof of the port raised their telescopes and shouted: "The enemy is showing signs of collapse!"

"Get on the horse!" Xia Yuqing shouted.

These five hundred Salmon Island soldiers learned riding skills in Iwami Castle.

However, the Japanese horses were too short. They could still ride them in civilian clothes, but they couldn't ride them once they were wearing armor. Later, some horses from the southwest were brought over, and they were finally able to ride horses and fight.

At this moment, they are all riding good products!

There are Arabian horses sold by the Bedouins, Persian horses and sweat-blooded horses sold by the Seljuks, and Rajput horses (Indian Marwari horses, which are sold by the Solanki people).

It is a cross between Arabian horses. Marwari horses have appeared at this time, but the number is not large and they are not for sale for the time being).

Excellent horses from all over the world often get sick while wandering at sea. This time is a good time to get them to the shore to recuperate and recover.

All the horses that are not sick are now being ridden into battle.

Xia Yuqing, a former Song Dynasty prisoner with a poor scholar background, was wearing medium-sized armor and leading the way with a spear in his hand.

However, those Ceylon soldiers only had a small number of war horses, all of which were ridden by mid- to high-level generals.

After two consecutive rounds of shelling, the Ceylon soldiers' retreat became more serious.

Not long after Parakarama unified the entire island, most of his main force was defending the city. At this moment, many of the troops around him came from local nobles.

Seeing the Ming army charging towards them on horseback, the nobles fled with their troops.

Parakarama was so angry that he could only lead his troops to fight.

The noble can escape, but he cannot.

Because he could ride away on horseback, but his soldiers had no horses to ride on. Once they escaped, their entire army would be wiped out.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly. There must be enemies in the mountains and forests behind you. If you don't leave, you will be attacked from both sides!" the soldier begged bitterly.

"Your Majesty, run away for your life. If Your Majesty dies in battle, the Victory King's City will definitely be taken away."

Parakarama turned his head and saw that the fire in the forest where he hid his troops was getting bigger and bigger, with thick smoke rising from a large area.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were getting closer and closer, and more and more Ceylon soldiers were fleeing.

Even some of Parakarama's elite troops were led away by the defeated troops. It was difficult for the king to lead his troops to fight.

"Walk!"

Parakarama turned his horse's head, waved his whip and finally escaped.

The king fled for his life and the whole army collapsed.

Xia Yuqing led his troops in pursuit, killing the defeated troops along the way. There were corpses everywhere in the mountains and fields, and many were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

On the north and south sides, there were also armies of local nobles.

When the troops from the north saw the fire behind them, they were so frightened that they ran away without even approaching the battlefield.

The troops in the south were more courageous and continued to charge forward. They were fired upon by muskets and crossbows from the sailors ashore.

Parakarama rode all the way back to the city of Victory, but met soldiers who came to report the news halfway.

"Your Majesty, the Victory City is gone!"

"Why not?"

"There was magic that could bring down thunder on the opposite side, and I used iron thunder against the city wall for two days. The false prince shouted outside the city again, saying that except for His Majesty's family, he would not pursue anyone's sins. He also said that after he succeeded to the throne,

He will promote Buddhism, repair Buddhist temples, and invite many eminent monks and scriptures from the Ming Dynasty. And... he also promised to make eminent monks officials! The monks in the city were tempted and secretly instigated the rebellion of the two generals. There were thunderstorms outside the city, and inside the city

The generals and monks rebelled again, and the false prince led his troops into the city!"

Parakarama stood still on his horse for a long time, then turned around and ran towards his place of dragon prosperity.
