Thirty-five thousand troops assembled outside the royal city.

The army of Srivijaya did not wear armor.

Having a knife is already a blessing; smelting iron is no easy task.

If the army of Srivijaya is like this, what about other countries?

Seeing the army stretching for hundreds of meters, Xia Chi felt very safe.

Around dusk, Xia Chi led his army out.

A scout reported that the King of Srivijaya had personally led an army of 35,000 to the capital, and Li Bao was immediately overjoyed.

He originally thought that they would have to attack the city again, because it was a battle across the sea, the number of Song soldiers was limited, and Li Bao had limited siege equipment.

If it weren't for sieges, but open field battles, Li Bao was fully confident.

It should be noted that the original core of Li Bao's army was drawn from Yue Fei's Divine Martial Army.

After defeating the Jiaozhi army by naval warfare, he was recommended by Yue Fei for his merits. Yue Fei valued his talent and gave him a battalion of the Shenwu Army.

Therefore, Li Bao's army was carved from the Shenwu Army.

The training and atmosphere thereafter all bore the imprint of Yue Fei.

The infantry regiments of the Divine Martial Army were the strongest field infantry regiments in the Song Dynasty.

Now Xia Chi is actually going to confront the Song Dynasty's strongest field infantry regiment head-on?

Even the Jin army might not dare to do such a thing.

Moreover, the Song army is now fully equipped with muskets and crossbows.

Furthermore, the swords are now more refined and sharper than before.

The imperial court left no room for compromise in maintaining and reforming military equipment.

About two days later, scouts reported that the Srivijaya army had reached a distance of sixty miles.

Srivijaya had only two types of troops: infantry and elephant cavalry.
