There were almost no village houses on the banks of the Zhushui River behind the forest. At this time, thousands of Zhou army soldiers emerged from the forest, and the scene was strange.People rushed towards the camp behind in a mess.
There are mountains on both sides, and only this river beach is relatively wide.In the wilderness, the beaches are even more noisy.There are many camps and towering arrow towers.
After the enemy soldiers and infantry chased out of the mountains and forests, they did not rush to chase them.
But after a while, some giants slowly emerged from the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain!The soldiers in the Zhou army camp were surprised and watched.
Mou... A strange behemoth called out.The Zhou army soldiers in the camp finally recognized it as an elephant!
The elephant was not an ordinary elephant. It was caught from somewhere. It was very big, covered with iron armor, and carried a tower-like thing on its back, and there were people sitting on it.
Although the elephant walked slowly, it was covered with iron and pointed spears, as if it was invulnerable to swords and guns, and it looked very terrifying!
On both sides and behind each elephant, there are infantry holding swords and shields in front, and behind are crossbowmen, who follow the elephant.
Those huge war elephants, like warships in the sea of people... also look like armored army clusters, with infantry forming battle groups centered on war elephants.
Dozens of war elephants surged out of the mountains and forests, and the Southern Han Dynasty infantry and cavalry followed behind, and their men and horses attacked the camps deployed by the Zhou army on the river beach.
The Southern Han army gradually approached with a strange war elephant system, and for a moment, it seemed like a torrent was slowly surging in the open ground!The elephants cries, the voices of people and horses are neighing throughout the mountains, and the wilderness is very lively.
The horizontally unfolded war elephants and infantry holding thick wooden shields gradually attacked within 200 steps!
Neither side fired long-range weapons, but the soldiers of the Southern Han Kingdom on the war elephant had prepared their bows and crossbows; giants came over like moving arrow towers!
Soon, some pennant flags planted on the ground were knocked down by the infantrymen of the Southern Han army who were walking over.
At this moment, the sound of wood rubbing sounded from the Zhou army camp, and the men were pulling the hemp rope on the catapult cart.Bangbangbangbang... Many round stone bumps were thrown out of the catapult cart.
The round stone lump was thrown very accurately!It happened to be the position of the Southern Han army to attack, because the range was marked in advance.
boom!Suddenly there was a loud bang, and a flash of fire in the air, and the smoke suddenly exploded... The round stone actually exploded in the air!
After a moment, the explosions began to explode one after another... and the stone cannons were either in the sky or on the ground, stone pieces flying around and smoke filled the sky.
The army attacking the Southern Han Kingdom immediately felt as if struck by lightning, and panicked and messed up.
The war elephants were so scared that they turned around and ran away, and the drivers above could not control the frightened elephants at all.
The elephant turned around and rushed towards the Southern Han army's infantry and cavalry that followed closely behind... At this time, the army was basically very dense except for the horse team to maintain combat power.
The elephant rushed into the crowd, with huge objects, covered in iron, and pointed spears like hedgehogs; where could the Southern Han army still block the elephant?
They avoided each other and formed a mess.
After the stone cannon exploded, it quickly stopped. Then the real stone was thrown, which could not be exploded... According to the method of the Beiyuan Fireworks Square in Tokyo, people had to dig the inside of the stone, but it was not easy and there were very few shells.
But the Southern Han army has been disrupted by its own war elephant!
At this time, the barrier gate between the camps was dropped with a slam.The neatly-clad infantry inside heard the gongs and drums and the flags were set off, and they ran out in a column.
The front army chased the Southern Han soldiers with spears and swords and shields, and killed them when they saw them.The crossbow soldiers and firearm soldiers behind them turned into three rows of horizontal lines and advanced forward.
On the battlefield, there were people surging, shouting loudly, and people were everywhere.
The land here is wet and the vegetation is very good. Countless people rushed together, but there was no dust; but the sky was filled with smoke from the firecrackers.
Behind the Zhou army, some people actually played chants, with exciting songs and screams of fear. The scene on the battlefield was very strange!
The Zhou army in front fought densely with the Southern Han Dynasty.
The machete spear of the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty was inserted into the plate armor of the Zhou army, and some of them pierced the hard leather armor between the four plate armors, screaming and screaming.
Very few soldiers of the Zhou army died, most of them were injured.
At this moment, the military music stopped, and the men beat the thick bronze instrument, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
The riots retreated from the emptiness in the middle of the horizontal lineup.
At this time, the crossbow soldiers were ready, and crackling sounds were heard everywhere, and the Southern Han army soldiers were killed and injured and fled in a mess.
The Zhou army marched from time to time from time to time, and stopped to shoot volleys from time to time.
The firearms and crossbows of each command were fired alternately, and white smoke filled the air.
The Zhou army's brigade of infantry chased the foot of the mountain. At this time, all the people attacked by the Southern Han army collapsed and ran into the woods.
The messenger with a triangular red flag on his back rode over, and while running, he shouted loudly against the commanders everywhere: The Central Army Order, stop chasing and prohibit entering the forest!
...The army in the camp was cheering everywhere, and it was so lively!
The civil servants and generals around Cao Bin were congratulating, and Prime Minister Li Gu said with a smile: General Cao deserves to be the commander of His Majesty!A group of new soldiers, who were still hoes a few months ago, can defeat the main reinforcements of the Southern Han Dynasty by picking up weapons today. I admire them very much!
Cao Bin bowed politely: This is because Your Majesty gave you excellent equipment and Mr. Li transferred sufficient food and military supplies. I dare not take credit.This general joined the army during the Han Dynasty (later) Han Dynasty. If these armored weapons were not necessarily equipped with such equipment in the past.
The staff said: General Cao sent people into the forest in advance, and it turned out to be a trick to lure the enemy!
Cao Bin did not comment.
At this moment, a group of generals in front entered the tent and started arguing. Someone patted his chest and said loudly: If the central army does not ask us to retreat, we must take advantage of the victory to fight to Shaozhou!
Someone said: Not to mention fighting to Shaozhou, breaking through this mountain, and setting up camp behind the mountain to approach Shaozhou, there is no mistake...
Cao Bin is in his thirties, with a white face and very elegant every thing. He is often praised as a Confucian general. He is not angry at the complaints from his generals, but just said seriously: It is reported that the Southern Han army has sent more reinforcements in Shaozhou. The mountains ahead are high and dense forests. The central army has not yet controlled the situation. It is a taboo for underestimating the enemy and advancing the military!
The staff immediately agreed: Cao Gong’s words are reasonable.There are no elephants produced in Shaozhou. The elephant soldiers of the Southern Han Kingdom were obtained from Dali and Annan (Wu Dynasty). They were only available in the imperial guards in the capital. They appeared in Shaozhou today. As Cao Gong expected, the Southern Han Kingdom sent the main reinforcements!
The generals were making a noise and were stunned by the talk.
Li Gu said: This battle is a great victory, Cao Gong can write a letter to report the victory and ask for me.
Cao Bin's eyes swept over the civil servants behind the commander and said: I must report it in fact, but this victory has not been made substantial progress.First, because the Southern Han Dynasty added reinforcements, and second, there was miasma in the south, and many people were sick in the army, which greatly reduced our troops.
Li Gu frowned and worried: Miasma is really difficult to deal with. I have brought a lot of medicinal herbs to take to the healing camp, but it didn't get better.
...The people in the Central Plains are indeed very afraid of the miasma in the south.
In the Han and Tang dynasties, the south was under the jurisdiction of the court, but the officials least wanted to go to was to become officials in the Southern Han Dynasty, and were regarded as being exiled... because many people came to be officials and died of miasma!
There was an imperial doctor sent by Taichang Temple in the army, who thought the miasma was very terrible, which made Cao Bin and other people in the camp very worried.
Under the arrangement of the imperial doctor and the military doctor, everyone set up camps to stay for treatment.
In addition to copying medical books, the treatment method based on was also found in the local local doctor and used herbs to treat it. Some of them could be cured, while some of them were in the lower grade.
After Yu Liang escaped from the forest, he fell ill.
That night, he was slapped and sweated all over, and was immediately sent to the wounded barracks to live.
Kaifeng commander was in the worst condition. He was defeated in the woods and injured hundreds of people, and some people fell ill one after another. The entire commander basically lost his combat effectiveness.
Yu Liang was lying in a temporary straw shed, surrounded by the smell of realgar, smoky and vomiting and moaning. He was in a very bad mood.
He didn't expect that this was the case in the war... It was completely different from what was written in the poem: "Loulan will never return until it is destroyed, why not bring Wu Gou, etc., and it was not so poetic at all!
What happened to Yu Liang after his expedition: he walked, walked all the time, and walked thousands of miles!
Then he heard that Xiongzhou was captured, so he came over again, and then he led people to dig trenches and repair walls in the wilderness... As soon as he lined up, he didn't even see the appearance of the enemy soldiers clearly, so he ran back in a panic.
Then he fell ill and was sent to this broken place to lie down.
Zhou Jun was sick many people, and the reason why he did not retreat was that people were constantly cured under the treatment of imperial doctors and local local doctors.It is said that it is miasma, but it can still be cured anyway.
But Yu Liang has not improved.
He lay on the broken bed every day, and no one came to see him... The soldiers who were familiar with were forbidden to enter the healing camp.
Yu Liang felt that his health was getting worse and worse, and he was weak all over. He felt a little tired of getting up. He had to think about whether he would die of illness in this broken place?
After all, he is a scholar. Yu Liang is a little questioning now whether he has entered the wrong career and is not suitable for martial arts at all... but he cannot pass the Jinshi even if he learns literature.It’s really a matter of being a martial artist!
Now he could only wait to die in depression, and his despair deepened little by little.
The Zhou army was progressing slowly and almost stopped attacking. After the last war, I didn't hear anything about the Southern Han army.
After a few days, Yu Liang had not seen any good news. He was pulled out of the camp with a ox cart and sent it to Xiongzhou. There were many people who were sent away by Minzhuang with him.
There are mountains on both sides, and only this river beach is relatively wide.In the wilderness, the beaches are even more noisy.There are many camps and towering arrow towers.
After the enemy soldiers and infantry chased out of the mountains and forests, they did not rush to chase them.
