The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The territory of Funan Kingdom is not large. In fact, at best, it is just the geographic location of a state in the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Funan Kingdom has not been established for a long time. Compared with the Han Dynasty, Funan Kingdom is really young.

Unlike the Han Dynasty, the Funan Kingdom was still a matriarchal society a hundred years ago. Later, a person named Hun Du ruled here. After marrying the Liuye Queen here, it gradually transformed into a male-dominated kingdom.

It has been passed down to the present, and it is already the third generation, and the king of the third generation is called Huanpanpan.

The entire Funan Kingdom is very large in Southeast Asia, occupying many surrounding tribes, and all of them have a large population. The entire kingdom can gather 10,000+ troops, but they are still a relatively backward society after all. Even if they have enough troops, their combat power is not enough. Not high, because social development has not yet reached a sufficient level.

The manufacture of weapons is very backward. Although there are people, they don't have enough weapons, which is very embarrassing. But obviously, they don't know the power of the Han Dynasty. Yelang blindly thinks that he can defeat the Han Dynasty with the advantage of a large number of people. .

When Pan Shuai came to the military camp of Funan Kingdom, he had sent someone to hand over the greeting cards. Obviously, these people from Funan Kingdom could not understand Chinese characters, but fortunately, many of these people were remnants of the former Linyi Kingdom, and these remnants could still understandable.

So with them as intermediaries, Pan Shuai brought Zhou Yu and Sun Ce into the camp and met the so-called General Fan Man.

A man who looked to be in his thirties, his skin was a bit dark, probably because of the region, his clothes were not as elegant as the big man's, and he looked a bit barbaric.

However, the few people standing next to him were dressed similarly to the big man's side. Presumably, these people were the remnants of Lin Yiguo's former party.

Chapter 643 General Fan Man

"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see our General Fan Man?"

General Fan Man was sitting in the main seat. He was a bit burly, but he didn't look like a Han Chinese. He didn't speak all the time. The person who spoke was a man in Han Chinese clothes standing beside Fan Man.

When Pan Shuai heard the other party's words, he didn't care at all, and smiled coldly.

"I am an official of the Han Dynasty. I kneel to the sky and kneel to my parents. How can you barbarians make me kneel?"

"Bold! My general is a general of the Funan Kingdom, isn't he more noble than a little county magistrate like you?"

Pan Shuai, like Liu Zheng and others, has no affection for these wild and alien people. Although he is on an envoy to negotiate, Pan Shuai is not far from weakening the momentum of the big man, so he will not kneel at all, but stand Continue speaking in front of everyone.

"I kneel to you, kneel to my boss, but you are not my boss, so naturally I don't need to kneel. I am negotiating on behalf of my family, and I am not here to kneel. If you are not sincere in negotiating, then I will leave."

After Pan Shuai finished speaking, he turned his head and planned to leave without giving the other party a chance to react.

Standing behind Pan Shuai, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce didn't have any feelings for Pan Shuai at first, but seeing that Pan Shuai was so tough, it was quite in line with their tastes, and they both gave Pan Shuaigao a few glances.

Seeing that Pan Shuai was about to leave from here, General Fan Man spoke up.

"If you don't kneel, don't kneel. Why are you here in my camp?"

General Fan Man spoke fluent official language of the big Han, which surprised Pan Shuai.

But thinking of the other party's surname Fan, it can already be explained that the other party should be a Han, but for some reason, he ran to Funan Kingdom and got a position as a general.

"My lord, on behalf of my lord Liu Zheng, I came here to ask what your lord's plan is for suddenly leading troops to my border?"

"Are you going to fight?"

Pan Shuai was confident and confident, and he did not lose his momentum at all, and asked Fan Man aggressively.

Fan Man was already a little displeased when he heard that the little envoy was so stubborn, but he still responded calmly.

"Your border? It's a joke. It used to be Linyi Kingdom's territory. You invaded Linyi Kingdom's territory, but now you call it your own territory. I help the army of the South Kingdom. I was invited by Linyi Kingdom's former prince Fan Yi to help him restore the country. You have sent people here, so I will give you an explanation and immediately return to the border of your big man, otherwise my army of Funan Kingdom will personally send you back."

Fan Man seemed to know more about Lin Yiguo's affairs, so he told Liu Zheng and others about the territories that Lin Yiguo occupied before.

But it took a long time to say this, and it would not be clear in a while, and Pan Shuai knew it well, and he was not afraid of Fan Man's words at all, but replied immediately.

"General, you are wrong. Let's not say that the territory occupied by Lin Yiguo was originally the territory of my great Han Rinan County. They committed suicide without authorization. It was destroyed, but it was because they attacked us first, it was they who first harmed my big man, which caused this calamity."

Pan Shuai was originally the county magistrate of Rinan County, and he knew a lot about what happened before Lin Yiguo and Liu Zheng, so when Fan Man asked, Pan Shuai quickly answered and refuted General Fan Man one by one. if.

Fan Man was taken aback by Pan Shuai's words. Although he heard some things about Lin Yiguo from Fan Yi, he didn't know the specific things.

This Fan Man and Fan Yi are just distant relatives. After Fan Yi was driven away from Lin Yiguo's territory by Liu Zheng and others a few years ago, he has been fleeing around here.

Later, he finally got in touch with the people in Funan Kingdom, connected to General Fan Man's line, and wanted to use the power of Funan Kingdom to help him restore the country.

This Fan Man is a distant relative of Fan Yi, who has been helping the Funan Kingdom to conquer the people who mess with the dynasty. Now that Fan Yi has come to him, Fan Man refused at the beginning, because Linyi Kingdom destroyed the country, and for Funan Kingdom It is also beneficial.

At least Funan Kingdom can occupy some territory that originally belonged to Linyi Kingdom.

But later, Fan Yi encouraged Fan Man to kill the Hun family and establish himself as king. When a new dynasty was established, Fan Man's ambition was gradually drawn out by Fan Yi.

In this way, Fan Man wanted to help Linyi Kingdom restore the country first, and then use Linyi Kingdom's soldiers and horses to directly replace Funan Kingdom.

However, what Fan Man did not expect was how strong Liu Zheng was.

He didn't know Liu Zheng well. The only thing he knew was from Fan Yi. Although Fan Yi knew Liu Zheng a little bit, it was Liu Zheng three years ago.

Liu Zheng three years ago was indeed not very strong, and it would be a problem to have 20 soldiers. However, after three years of training, Liu Zheng is no longer the original Liu Zheng, let alone [-]. An army of [-] is not difficult for Liu Zheng.

"Don't use your words in front of me. After all, Linyi Kingdom was destroyed by you. Now I want to restore the country for them. I think you are from the Han Dynasty. To sell the Han Dynasty's face, I will give you three days to withdraw from Linyi Kingdom. .”

"Otherwise, I will have to keep you all in person!"

As soon as Fan Man spoke, the majesty of that strong man was fully displayed, but obviously, Pan Shuai was not intimidated.

Pan Shuai still looked indifferent.

"Okay, the general's meaning, I will pass it on to our prefect."

During the conversation between Pan Shuai and Fan Man, although they didn't talk much, they already knew from Fan Man's mouth that the other party would not retreat easily, and they were coming for Linyi County, so a fierce battle would definitely be inevitable.

Anyway, he came here to inquire about information. Through the attitude of the other party, Pan Shuai knew that the other party was confident. In addition, Sun Jian had a fight with the other party before, and he also had some understanding of the other party's strength. After the intelligence, the next battle is also clearer.

"Farewell."

Pan Shuai frowned and said something, and then led Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to leave from here.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't say a word the whole time, but they were not afraid at all, and they had a lot of experience.

It didn't take long for Pan Shuai and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to return to their territory.

As soon as Liu Zheng saw Pan Shuai return, he immediately summoned Pan Shuai.I want to ask clearly, what are the plans of these enemy troops.

"Zicong, have you checked out the situation? What do those barbarians mean?"

Chapter 644

When Liu Zheng asked, Pan Shuai naturally didn't dare to hide anything, so he replied to Liu Zheng immediately.

"My lord, I have already communicated with these people. There is no possibility of peace talks with these southern barbarians. They want to help the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom restore the country and give us three days to evacuate here. I'm going to attack."

Naturally, Pan Shuai didn't have a good impression of these people from Funan, so in the conversation with Liu Zheng, he didn't give the people of Funan any favors at all, and he didn't have any good words at all.

Liu Zheng didn't go to negotiate in person, but from Pan Shuai's tone, he can roughly understand it.

Since Pan Shuai said that there is no possibility of peace talks with these Funan people, the only option is to fight them.

Anyway, Liu Zheng didn't think about peace talks with these Funan people this time. He came this time with the intention of destroying these small countries in one fell swoop and unifying the entire Southeast Asia.

The reason why he sent someone to negotiate was that he wanted Pan Shuai to investigate the whereabouts of these Funan people and see if the other party was capable of attacking Linyi County.

However, judging from the information obtained now, the other party came prepared, with 5 troops, and they came aggressively. The purpose is obvious, that is to seize Linyi County and help the remnant party of Linyi Kingdom to restore the country.

"These troops from Funan Kingdom are just some barbarians. It's ridiculous that they want to attack our Han Heavenly Army. Half a month is enough for Wentai to guard Linyi County. When Zhou Cang leads the troops, we can go Fight back and kill these barbarians in one fell swoop."

After Liu Zheng and Pan Shuai learned about the situation, they gave Sun Jian a word.

Sun Jian still had [-] soldiers and horses in Linyi City, plus the [-] sailors led by Liu Zheng, and hundreds of his own soldiers.

In Linyi City, there are at least [-] or [-] soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and these people in Funan Kingdom are all barbarians who have not been civilized for a long time. Not much.

After the negotiation was over, Liu Zheng didn't care about it, and the two sides waited here for three days.

Three days later, according to Pan Shuai's words, the army of Funan Kingdom gradually approached Linyi City from the periphery.

The appearance of tens of thousands of troops was overwhelming, and their heads emerged from the forest. However, these people in Funan mainly wore animal skins, and few wore Han cloth clothing. As for those before armor, they were even rarer.

At first glance, it looks like a savage, but how can there be the same standard equipment as the Han people?

When Liu Zheng saw the appearance of these people, he sneered, but he didn't despise these Funan people at all.

Although these people's equipment is not good, it doesn't mean that these people are not good at fighting. They can live in this subtropical place all year round, which has already proved their ability. If it were Liu Zheng, a person from the Central Plains It is also difficult to live in Southeast Asia for a period of time.

After all, the snakes, insects, rats and ants here are not comparable to the poisonous smoke and miasma in the Central Plains. In addition, in this era, it is not the modern times of later generations. Many places are virgin forests that have not been developed. Even if they are marching, it is easy for soldiers to get sick , thus failing.

Only those people from Funan Country who have rich experience in living in this kind of place can come here from Funan Country.

The bullhorn sounded, and some war elephants rushed over from the distant forest.

The sound of thud thud thud came, and Liu Zheng, who was standing on the tower, looked around and finally saw clearly what the people of Funan Kingdom were relying on.

War elephants, elephant soldiers, this is something more terrifying than cavalry.

Cavalry is almost useless in this kind of place.One reason is that there are no horses here, and all the horses are transported from the far north. It is impossible for the horses to adapt to the climate here, and even if they do, it is difficult to adapt to the mountainous terrain here.

The second reason is that there is not a wide enough plain here, and the impact of the cavalry cannot be fully exerted.Even if there were cavalry, they would have no ability to fight back when facing a target soldier.

But war elephants are different. They are human-domesticated elephants. They are huge and can have the charging ability of war horses, even better than war horses. Liu Zheng encountered some of them when he dealt with some troops of Linyi Kingdom. War elephant troops.

At that time, Liu Zheng was very impressed, and now he finally saw these elephant soldiers, which was enough to make Liu Zheng feel a little touched. Although these people in Funan did not have any powerful siege equipment, they had these elephant soldiers , with some shooters, it is enough to disturb the defenders like Liu Zheng on the tower.

Not long after the war elephant appeared, some leaders appeared outside the city, General Fan Man barely wearing armor, former Prince of Linyi Kingdom Fan Yi, and some remnants of the Linyi Kingdom.

At this time, Liu Zheng, under Pan Shuai's identification, had already recognized General Fan Man sitting on the elephant.

Liu Zheng stared at Fan Man, although he felt that this guy was a bit burly, but he was very wild.It doesn't look like these Han people around Liu Zheng.

While Liu Zheng was still looking at the army of Funan Kingdom, Fan Yi, who was standing beside Fan Man, spoke to Liu Zheng first.

"Listen, people in the city, since you don't choose to retreat, prepare to meet our wrath!"

Liu Zheng took a glance from a distance, and recognized Fan Yi, the former prince of Lin Yiguo, at a glance.

"Fan Yi, it's you. I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't intend to pursue you anymore. I didn't expect you to come back. Did you come back to die?"

Liu Zheng glanced at it, and replied to Fan Yi. To Liu Zheng, people like Fan Yi are nothing. Even if they attack the city by force, Liu Zheng is sure that he can defend the city, even if the other party does not hesitate. At all costs, the city was broken, and Liu Zheng also had some confidence that he could fight the opponent.

Fan Yi originally wanted to show off Qian Yaowu in Linyi City. After all, he brought back tens of thousands of troops this time, but he was proud. With the help of these tens of thousands of troops, Fan Yi thought that he would regain Linyi County and re-establish Linyi Kingdom It's a sure thing.

Especially seeing Liu Zheng here now, instead of feeling the slightest bit of fear, Fan Yi became more and more excited, because only Liu Zheng was here, so he could avenge his shame and put away the money he made a few years ago. Let's settle the old accounts.

"Liu Zheng, it's you! Hahaha, I didn't expect you to still be here. Great, great, this time I will definitely kill you and your followers, so you can try it too." The taste of death!"

Chapter 645 Fan Yi's Backhand

Fan Yi's complacency made Liu Zheng sneer.

The corners of Liu Zheng's mouth rose slightly, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Fan Yi, depending on you, you may have stayed in the small country of Nanman for too long, and you forgot that you are Han. Do you know that the supernatural power of the Great Han Heavenly Army, do you think that these Nanman savages alone can defeat you? Am I a big Han Tianjun?"

"Han people? You fart, I am from Linyi country, what Han people, this time I joined forces with General Fan Man of the Funan Kingdom just to wipe out you bastards and let you see who helped me restore the country. The feeling of being killed by others, don't use your words here, I have already found out, in your Linyi City, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses, and we are several times as many as you."

"I don't believe that Liu Zheng, no matter how powerful you are, can beat so many people here."

Fan Yi proudly responded to Liu Zheng, then didn't say anything more to Liu Zheng, and immediately turned his head towards General Fan Man who was sitting on the elephant.

"General Fan Man, right now, let's attack the city. As long as this Linyi City is destroyed, there will be as much money and women as you want!"

Fan Yi encouraged Fan Man by his side. Obviously, using money and women to encourage Fan Man was the most direct and effective.

He didn't regard the people in Linyi City as human beings at all, and he even forgot that a large part of the people in this city were the people of his Linyi Kingdom a few years ago.

"Then let me see what kind of progress you have made in the past few years."

Seeing that Fan Yi didn't seem to have any savings to continue the conversation, Liu Zheng stopped talking to him and prepared to fight directly.

As for General Fan Man, who was riding on the back of an elephant, he didn't have much in mind to chat with people like Liu Zheng at this time, so he waved the huge mace in his hand.

"attack!"

A deep roar came from Fan Man's mouth.

Immediately, the 2 troops that had been lined up separately, under General Fan Man's order, [-] of them began to attack and rushed towards the tower.

As for the defensive battle in the city, Liu Zheng did not intervene too much, and directly let Sun Jian take full responsibility. The soldiers and horses he brought over stayed put and did not move.

Anyway, from Liu Zheng's point of view, Sun Jian's troops are enough to deal with it.

After Sun Jian took over the command of the soldiers and horses of the city tower from Liu Zheng, he began to arrange for his generals to guard a section of the city wall.

Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were around Sun Jian, directing the archers on the tower to shoot outside the city. Thousands of archers raised their bows and fired arrows.

Scattered arrows shot out from the tower, although it looked like a lot, but placed in the army of tens of thousands of troops below the city, it always seemed to be a little bit of nothing, unable to cause too much damage to the enemy.

Although the weapons and equipment of these Funan people are not very good, they still have some weapons on their bodies. A wooden spear is nearly as long as a long one. On the other side of the arm, there is a short wooden shield. The short shield is not very hard. Strong, but blocking an arrow still has a certain effect.

Although it may not be possible to completely block the arrows, it is not a problem to block some of them.
