Three Kingdoms Eschatology

At first, Tai Shici's army won consecutive battles.The counties and counties that Liang Guo had originally set up as strongholds in Ailao State were all abolished.But when Wu Jun crossed a Honghe wharf called Manshao Port and entered the plateau, the situation changed.

At this time, the drop of the Pushui River became extremely large, and rapids and waterfalls formed in many places, and there were countless rocks in the water.Even small warships with a draft of only four or five feet can no longer navigate in such waterways.Tai Shici's nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses could only meander along the five-foot mountain road among the high mountains on the laterite plateau.And Manchao Port became the rear grain and grass transshipment base for Taishici's westward expedition army.

On the next journey, although Wu's army was not intercepted by the large Liang army, it was constantly harassed by the small Liang army's mountain scouts and the local barbarians who belonged to Liang.

When Wu Jun passed a certain steep cliff or a narrow mountain path under a hillside, he would roll boulders down the cliff, crushing one or two Wu soldiers who were slow to react to death.When they traveled through the forest, they sometimes encountered sudden cold arrows, and the cold arrow clusters were often smeared with poison.Even when Wu Jun was walking on a road that looked good, he would suddenly fall into a trap full of bamboo sticks.

Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of southwestern affairs in Liang State, divided more than a thousand mountain scouts into ten divisions, and each division assigned areas to monitor and harass the advancing Wu army.Each of these scouts is often divided into several groups to act separately.Such a small group of troops is basically impossible to be found in the mountains and primitive forests.

But such a force is not something that anyone can take on. They operate alone in the wild, and it is impossible to obtain logistical supplies.It is also very easy to get lost in the mountains and dense forests. In addition, it is necessary to walk through dangerous mountains and wild forests with no paths at all.This requires a strong ability to survive in the wild and the ability to climb mountains and mountains.Except for the mountain scouts in Liang Junzhong, there are almost no people in this world who can meet this condition.

Even those who were born bandits, such as the Black Mountain Army, were different from Liang Jun's mountain scouts. They only relied on their camps built in the mountains and their familiarity with the local geography to gain an advantage.If it is purely wild survival, and changing to an environment they are not familiar with, bandits will also be dumbfounded.

Therefore, this kind of mountain tactics is unique to Liang State and cannot be copied.

Chapter 503 The Real Liang Jun

Although Liang Jun's harassment would not seriously hurt Wu Jun's vitality, it was enough to give Tai Shici a headache.Because this hit Wu Jun's morale and marching speed too much.

Tai Shici also tried many ways to solve this problem.Including well-organized scout troops, scouting on the marching route in advance, and setting up secret sentinels and hidden cards.It also includes in some valley areas where it is easy to set up an ambush, deliberately use a small group of more than a thousand people to stretch the line slowly in the valley, lure the opponent to come and attack, and then use the prepared large troops to exit the valley. Block it, and finally search for encirclement and annihilation.But none of these worked.

The scouts Wu Jun sent at the beginning didn't work, they didn't even see each other's shadow.Later, these Wu army scouts finally ran into Liang Jun mountain scouts. As a result of the confrontation, except for two or three escaped survivors, the rest were killed in the wilderness forest.

As for the strategy of encircling and annihilating the enemy, after Wu Jun tried several times, he actually lured Liang Jun's scouts into a valley once.But when Wu Jun surrounded and blocked the valley that had been explored several times, he still watched the opponent escape.For these mountain scouts, the mountains are no different from the plains.They escaped from the valley by climbing an impossible cliff face.

Tai Shici stopped and stopped like this, and finally arrived at Nongdong County in Yunnan County.It is only a hundred miles away from Yunnan County, the county seat of Yunnan.

Before Tai Shici waited for his army to set up their camp, he waved his hands and ordered the whole army to attack the city.The experience of these days gave Tai Shici a fixed mindset.

He thought that this building was the same as the Liang Kingdom cities he passed by in the past. He only needed to wait for his soldiers to set up ladders around the city walls, and then the queen ants would attach to them. It would not be long before hundreds or thousands of Liang Kingdom soldiers in the city would be wiped out. Eliminate or raise the white flag to surrender.

After a few charging horns, Wu Jun rushed towards Nongdong City like a tide. Some of them carried bundles of firewood, and some carried sacks of sand, with the goal of filling the trenches outside the city.

Arrows have already started to shoot down from the top of the city, and a running Wu soldier with firewood on his back is not panicked.In some of the cities that the Wu army conquered before, the arrows of the defenders at the top of the city were neither dense nor accurate, and it was entirely by luck that the Wu soldiers could shoot them down.

When he was still more than ten battles away from the moat, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, as if his entire heart had been hollowed out.Then came the severe pain.He looked down and saw that an arrow had been shot into his chest. The shaft of this arrow was surprisingly thick, and then he fell to the ground and became a corpse.

Tai Shici, who was watching the battle solemnly from the back of the formation, just started to see Liang Jun shooting arrows, but he didn't care. The arrows were not dense, so there were not many defenders in the lane.But when his soldiers fell one after another, he realized that something was wrong.He raised his head and squinted his eyes to observe the city, only to realize that some Liang soldiers in the city were different from what he had seen before.

Just looking at the obvious metal armor helmets of these Liang Jun soldiers is different from the Liang Jun who wore ordinary armor in the past.The longbows held by those beam crossbowmen are seven feet long and taller than adults.Only then did he realize that it was Liang Jun's regular army that had arrived.

In the past, the soldiers of the Liang army he encountered were all local guards of Liang State.According to the Liang system, the garrison soldiers may be half-cultivating and half-army reclamation soldiers of Liang State, or they may be local free farmers who need to serve two months of military service every year.Of course, this alley was originally a place of barbarians.There are almost no Han peasants, so the guards in Nongdong are all reclamation soldiers.

Although the reclamation soldiers also belonged to Liang Guo's military establishment, they were only used for military training in the two months of slack farming every year, and the rest of the time was busy with farming.Therefore, in terms of military skills and combat power, it cannot be compared with Liang Guo's standing army.Now Liang Guo is gradually converting more reclamation soldiers into standing legions because of the abundant commercial and tax revenue. However, this requires a process, and it does not happen overnight.

Although Tai Shici's Wu soldiers suffered heavy casualties, they still filled in several sections of the moat of the Nongdong as planned.The Wu soldiers began to carry the siege ladders, roaring and rushing towards the city wall of Nongdong City, and leaned the ladders against the city wall.The soldiers of the Wu army climbed up the ladder with their shields and knives in their hands.

But this time they encountered difficulties. At the beginning, the soldiers of the Liang Army at the head of the city greeted them with rolling wood and beating stones.The Wu soldiers who rushed forward turned into cold corpses amidst the sound of fighting and the rain of blood, and fell from the top of the city.Wu Bing finally met the real Liang Jun.

These Liang army guards are part of the soldiers from the Gan Ning Army, and Gan Ning has been transferred from Myanmar to Yunnan County by Zhuge Liang.It's just that Gan Ning is not in Nongdong City at the moment, and he has other plans of his own.

In addition to Gan Ning, Feng Yu also directly dispatched the Dianwei Army and Xu Rong Army.They are on their way.In other words, not counting Yan Yan, the new first-class legion, three of the nine first-class legions of Liang Guo gathered on the front line of Yongchang, Yunnan.It can be seen that Feng Yu attaches great importance to this battle.Moreover, Feng Yu will continue to invest more B- and C-level legions in the southwest direction.

Of course, this is not just to repel Wu's attack.After crushing Wu's attack, he planned to recover the nine Lingnan counties, which basically corresponded to most of the territory of the Nanyue Shijia.

This is actually based on Feng Yu's previously established strategy - first to consolidate the security of business, and then to capture those lands that are easy for Liang Guo to attack and easy to defend after capture, such as those that can go down the river and attack from three sides. Jiang Guo.Finally, when the population and military strength reach a certain base, they will sweep Wu Wei and rule the world.

This strategy can be summed up in a few words, but it may take several years or even ten years to actually complete it.It will take two or three years to convert all the violent soldiers—the reclamation soldiers into regular legions, and add more standing legions.

Tai Shici saw the continuous casualties of his own soldiers, but the battle situation did not make any progress.Distraught, he had no choice but to order the gong to withdraw the troops.With the sound of the gong, Wu Bing retreated in desperation.

Because Wu Jun had full confidence in the ability to attack Nongdong City before, they did not set up camp, and now they can only sleep in the wild overnight.Fortunately, it is the middle of winter and there are few mosquitoes, otherwise they would suffer.

The morale of the soldiers of the Wu army was low, and they staggered around piles of bonfires exhaustedly, gnawing hard-to-swallow dry food with the hot water boiled in their helmets.

But Tai Shici was in the only tent thinking hard about a strategy to defeat the enemy.But he thought about it and didn't come up with any good ideas, but his head became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell asleep...

Chapter 504

When Tai Shici, who was sleeping soundly, woke up again, he was awakened by the noisy sounds around him.When he fully woke up, he realized that the sound was the sound of fighting shouts and weapons clashing. A soldier ran up in a panic and said, "General, it's not good. There are enemy troops coming to steal the camp!"

Tai Shici was not surprised but smiled and said: "Hahaha, Liang Jun is hiding in the city, but I can't do anything with them. Now I am going out of the city to sneak attack on my camp, and I am in my arms. Get my weapons and horses quickly!"

The soldier said anxiously again: "General! The enemy army who came to steal the camp did not come out of the city, but... ah!".Before he could finish speaking, he let out a scream.It turned out to be a tall, fully armored war cavalry passing by him. The knight on the horse was holding a five-foot-long mace in his hand, and the big club was hitting the soldier on the back of the head.

Tai Shici was startled, and quickly retreated a few steps. At this time, two more soldiers rushed to his side, one of them led him a horse, and the other handed him his usual weapon - a long spear.

Without further ado, Tai Shici flew onto his horse.Only then did he realize that the scene was in chaos.The enemy and the enemy are completely mixed together.Thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wu army were divided into groups and walked in the wilderness outside the city of Nongdong.Although there were not many enemy troops in the Liang Kingdom, they were all armored and heavy cavalry with both men and horses.

While riding his horse around in circles, he kept yelling on the horse: "The army is ready for war! Repel the enemy soldiers." He tried to stabilize the morale of the army.Some generals and schools also gathered around him.

In less than half a moment, two more cavalry of the Liang army, one with a lance and the other with a mace, rushed towards them.The soldiers of the Wu army who were running around in front of their horses were bumped and staggered.In an instant, they arrived near Tai Shici.

The three generals of the Wu army beside Tai Shici rushed up with their guns. A small Wu army officer who rushed to the front had just passed the opponent on the wrong horse, and his body fell from the saddle with a close-armed spear.The remaining two generals of the Wu army fired their guns at the same time, stabbing the man and the horse respectively.

The cavalry of the Liang army just took off their guns, and in the future, they took off their maces, and the opponent's spears had already arrived.He had no choice but to twist his body to avoid the shot abruptly, and the spear blade brushed past his helmet.

But his horse was stabbed by another lance.Although this giant Shire horse is wearing iron armor as thick as two centimeters.However, the speed at which the two horses collided gave the lance great power, and the spear blade still pierced through the iron armor and pierced into the chest of the horse.The giant Shire horse neighed, then knelt down on its front legs, and the soldiers of the Liang Army on the saddle rolled off the horse. Just as they were about to get up, they were kicked on the front door by another horse's iron hoof.

The general Wu Jun who succeeded was also knocked off the saddle by the huge counter force, but one of his feet was still hanging on the stirrup.Another cavalry of the Liang army had already struck his horse's butt with a stick, and the horse screamed in pain, dragging the fallen Wu army general to the distance.

The last Wu Qi stabbed Liang Jun's iron cavalry with all his strength with his lance, but was swung away by the opponent with a mace, and then took advantage of the opportunity to smash the stick on the Tianling Gai.

In an instant, all three generals of the Wu army were killed, but they only killed one of the other.At this time, Tai Shici had arrived on his horse, and stabbed at this Liang Jun cavalry extremely swiftly and fiercely.The opponent swung the mace in his hand horizontally, set up Tai Shici's lance, stabbed the opponent's head with the spear.But Tai Shici neither retracted his gun nor slowed down his horse, but took off his gun with both hands and continued to charge forward.

At the moment when Tai Shici took off his gun and both of his horses were on the wrong side, he drew out the saber from his waist.The light of the knife flashed, and the head of Liang Jun's iron cavalry rider and the hard leather basin collar on the armor flew into the air in the blood rain.In the end, Tai Shici reached out and caught the lance that passed over the opponent's head.The whole action is done in one go.

Although Tai Shici was brave, he still couldn't save Wu Jun's defeat.All the heavy armored cavalry of the Gan Ning Army came, a whole three battalions.And the Wu army, not to mention the heavy cavalry, doesn't even have many horses. It is basically composed of infantry. Only the generals and soldiers are equipped with horses.

As a result, the Wu army began to be defeated in just half an hour after the unstoppable charge back and forth of [-] cavalrymen.The broken soldiers fled downstream along the servant water.Tai Shici, who was drenched in blood, saw that his defeat was doomed, so he also rode his horse and fled.

So Xin, the geographical terrain of Yunnan County is not suitable for cavalry marching. After leaving the open space near Nongdong City, there are vast mountains and Wuchi Mountain Road.Otherwise, I'm afraid that Tai Shici's soldiers and horses will be depleted.

Surrounded by his own soldiers and generals, Gan Ning rode his horse to the edge of the clearing and the forest, and stopped.The general next to him looked at the five-foot mountain road that disappeared into the vast forest, and sighed: "It's a pity that Tai Shici escaped." Gan Ning smiled slightly: "He can't escape."

Once Tai Shici retreated, he retreated to Manchao Port in one breath, and it was only here that he regained his foothold.Counting the soldiers and horses, the nearly 6000 troops lost more than [-]%, leaving only more than [-] horses.But Liang Jun didn't give Tai Shici time to breathe. A few days later, Dianwei's army launched an attack on Manchao Port, and it was in a way that Tai Shici didn't expect.

Liang Guo's first-class legion, each legion has its own characteristics.The characteristic of the Dianwei Legion is that it has specialized Viking sailors, who are very good at using dangerous shoals and rivers for amphibious assault operations.

Tai Shici made a strict defensive arrangement around Manhua Port, but did not deploy defenses for the river upstream of Manchao Port.Because in the eyes of the world, the river course is just a torrent and a dangerous shoal, an insurmountable natural danger, not a thoroughfare.

In the early morning of this day, the weather was clear, but the whole Manhua Harbor was shrouded in mist.Especially the waterway of the servant water is even more foggy.

At present, the entire Manshao Port has been built as a large camp, and the open space on the shore is full of granaries.From time to time, you can see the Wu army patrol team shuttling through it.But they all seem to be very relaxed.There are many clear cards and dark sentries on the periphery of Manchao Port, and a multi-layer defense line has been set up. Basically, there is no need to worry about someone sneaking into the camp.

At the place where the servant water flows into the camp, there are watchtowers on both sides of the bank.But this is not to prevent the enemy's large-scale invasion from the river, but only to prevent enemy scouts from wading on the shore and sneaking into the camp.

A Wu Bing stood on the watchtower, yawning and looking out. He wanted to see how high the sun was rising, so as to estimate how long it would take for someone to take over.Suddenly, he saw a huge rectangular object looming in the mist.He rubbed his eyes only to realize that it wasn't the only one, but the latter ones appeared one after another from a distance.He immediately yelled, and Wu soldiers from nearby barracks climbed up to the watchtower one after another. After a few breaths, everyone shouted:

"That's a sail, it's a sail, an unknown ship is coming from upstream."

"Quick! Go and inform the general! It should be Liang Jun, Liang Jun is here!"

Chapter 505

In the camp of Manchao Port, the sound of warning clappers suddenly sounded.But it was too late for the Wu army to keep the enemy soldiers out of the camp.Those ships with strange styles quickly sailed to a place less than twenty battles away from the watchtower, and the arrows shot with the sound of piercing through the air.The sound of the clapper stopped suddenly, because Wu Bing, who was knocking on the clapper, was shot in the head by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Two Viking warships rushed out of the mist one after another.The spinning battle ax flew towards Wu Bing in the watchtower with a whirring sound.Many Viking soldiers wearing chain mail, bare arms, legs and feet, and wearing leather hollow boots are wading towards the shore.

As the blood sprayed, the bodies of the three Wu soldiers in the watchtower had been cut open by the flying ax and fell into a pool of blood, but there was still one person squatting behind the baffle of the watchtower, vigorously knocking on his clapper.Unexpectedly, a bright straight-edged long knife came out from behind the baffle, and directly pierced the Wu Bing's back.

Wu Bing didn't even have time to scream, and he turned into a corpse.The dead fish eyes of the corpse were staring blankly at a face covered in chain armor through the gaps in the planks. The eyes on that face were the same as its height, which seemed not what a human should have.

When the giant ape warriors pulled out the long knife that had been pierced into the watchtower, a large number of Viking sailor warriors and giant ape warriors boarded the river bank.Behind them, a large number of Viking ships continued to sail towards the camp in Manhua Port...

The sound of clappers sounded one after another in the camp of Manhuagang, Tai Shici rushed out of his tent and asked, "But the Liang army is coming to attack the camp?" Soldiers have reported that Liang Jun's generals have appeared in the camp.Tai Shici was shocked and said: "How is this possible! We have spent a long time building the camp, and it can be said that it is as strong as gold. No matter how fierce Liang Jun is, it is impossible to break through ours in the blink of an eye..."

Before he finished speaking, he himself stopped talking, because he had already seen the shadows of heavy sails in the mist on the river in the distance, and a large number of Viking ships had already come ashore.It is incredible that Liang Jun can come from the Pushui channel upstream of Manchao Harbor!

Tai Shici didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately put on his horse and went into battle to deal with Liang Jun's surprise attack.At this time, another batch of Viking warships came ashore, and a large number of Liang troops rushed to the river bank, most of them were spear and shield soldiers, and the rest were Viking sailor soldiers, with a small number of great ape soldiers.

Several groups of Wu soldiers rushed towards them under the command of Tai Shici and other generals.These Liang Jun spear and shield soldiers immediately organized a circular defensive formation by the river bank.The spears in their hands were thrown at the approaching Wu soldiers one after another.Wu Bing suffered a lot of damage from these flying spears in dozens of battles.

They were suppressed for several seconds, and they didn't approach Liang Jun until Liang Jun finished throwing all the spears he could use.Across the shield wall, the two sides slashed and killed each other.In Liang Jun's army formation, flying axes flew out from time to time, and rows of spear blades continuously stabbed out from behind the shield wall.

More and more soldiers of Liang Jun boarded the river bank, and more and more soldiers of Wu Jun gathered here.The two sides fought fiercely together around the circle.

At the gap where the servant water flowed into the camp, the Viking sailor soldiers and giant ape soldiers who landed earlier continued to attack and kill the nearby Wu soldiers, tearing the gap wider and wider.The five giant ape warriors threw out their claws, and with their own strength, they pulled down a section of the camp wall.Now start to pull another section of the wall.

Tai Shici saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He knew that if he didn't drive Liang Jun out in time.Manhuai Port will surely be captured.He clamped his legs and urged his horse to charge towards Liang Jun's circular formation.He stabbed hard with his lance, pierced into the shield of a Liang Jun, and then lifted the shield into the air.

Before Liang Jun's spear and shield soldiers could make up for it, Tai Shici's black horse galloped forward, trying to open a gap in Liang Jun's circle.

But Tai Shici felt as if he was blocked by something forcibly, and his whole body had already flown into the air.He saw a tall monster below him stabbing his horse with a long knife, entering from the chest, and coming out from the horse's buttocks.The entire mount is worn on the knife shaft.

Tai Shici was about to fall into Liang Jun's formation, either he was captured or he was cut to pieces.But he still had the spear in his hand. At this extremely critical moment, he pushed the spear down, and the barrel of the spear was bent into a bow.Using the spear as a fulcrum, he bounced into the air again, and landed with a backward roll, just landing at the forefront of the army's formation.

Tai Shici stepped back a few steps.It was only then that Wu Jun soldiers guarded him, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.All of a sudden, the Wu army gathered in a group stirred up from behind, several figures of Wu soldiers flew into the air, and Tai Shici saw that the familiar iron-clad giant horse was charging in again.

The Viking warships used by the Dianwei Legion for raids were all the lightest ships.In addition to the necessary sailors, each ship can only carry a dozen soldiers.This gigantic Shire horse weighs more than a dozen people, so it is naturally impossible for these small boats to transport it into the camp.These heavy armored cavalry rushed in directly from outside the camp.

The Wu army kept gathering here, and when they wanted to drive the Liang army down the river, they were also adding troops to the gap where Pushui entered the camp.Try to fill that gap as well.

However, because a large number of Wu troops were attracted here, only a small part of the Wu troops went to the gap.In addition, Liang Jun there had more than twenty giant ape soldiers to help out.Fighting hard with the Viking sailors and soldiers, they finally tore a hole from the inside of the camp and opened a road in the trenches that refused to horse.Hundreds of heavily armored cavalry who had been waiting outside the camp for a long time rushed in.

The heavy cavalry poured into the flat camp, and the whole battle situation immediately became one-sided.These heavy cavalry are like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and a single charge forward is a bloody alley.Several riders lined up in a row and pushed forward, and there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Liang Jun's infantry, which formed a circular formation on the bank of Pushui, also took advantage of the momentum to launch a full-scale counterattack.Facing the chaotic Wu soldiers, they simply threw out the last spear in their hands, and finally used the two-foot-long boshou knife to fight Wu soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.In this kind of melee melee, a large shield with a short-handled weapon is undoubtedly the most suitable.

The melee lasted less than half an hour, and Wu Jun collapsed again.The rebellious soldiers rushed down the wall in the southeast, scrambling to escape from the camp.As long as he could escape to the forest outside the camp, he would be able to avoid the demonic pursuit of the iron-clad giant horse cavalry.

Many people panicked and fell into the ditch dug by their own side, and were stabbed to death by bamboo sticks at the bottom of the ditch.Tai Shici also escaped from Manchao Harbor under the desperate protection of his own soldiers and generals.

More than an hour later, Gan Ning's army also arrived at Manchao Port.Dian Wei and Gan Ning met in Manchao Port, which was full of corpses of Wu soldiers.Looking at the granaries all over the floor and the hundreds of warships of the Wu army in the port that hadn't arrived in time to drive away, the two laughed heartily.

Dian Wei sighed and said, "It's a pity that Tai Shici still hasn't been caught." Gan Ning said with a smile: "There are your boats, and the boats we captured, not to mention Tai Shici, but the whole Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan. We are just around the corner.”

Chapter 506 Relentless pursuit

After listening to Gan Ning's words, Dian Wei slapped his head and said, "How can someone forget this? Tai Shici lost all his boats. We can only retreat to Jiaozhi on foot, and the road along the way is roughly along the Pushui. We The boat going down the river is faster than their two legs. So I will order the soldiers to prepare and chase the remnants of the Wu army. Let's take Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan in one go."

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "It's fine to pursue, but we may not have enough troops to take down Jiaozhi and even Jiuzhen and Rinan. Don't forget that Liu Bei's forces entrenched in Xinggu County in the east are now enemies with me in Daliang. So we need Garrison a considerable number of troops in Manhua Port, just in case. Then use the remaining troops to pursue Taishici's remnant soldiers, and it may be enough to take Jiaozhi. But to capture Jiuzhen and Nichinan further south, you have to It is almost impossible for Jiaozhi to prevent the Wu army from Hepu County and the sea from cutting off its retreat."

Dian Wei laughed and said: "Brother Gan Ning, you are from Myanmar, so you don't know the strategy of the Holy Majesty. At this time, the number of troops mobilized to the southwest battlefield is far more than you imagined. I am not the only one who came to reinforce Dianwei is an army. The Xinggu County you mentioned, Xu Rong’s army is marching there with some reclamation troops from Yunnan County, and will eventually capture it. Also, Meng Huo is also leading his Nanman Army from Yongchang County Go east. With these troops, it shouldn't be difficult for us to take down the three counties."

Gan Ning sighed: "It seems that I have worried too much, I thought that the Holy Master had a plan. In this case, Brother Dianwei, you can immediately go down the river and chase the remnants of Tai Shici. I am here waiting for Xu Rong to enter Xinggu Once the news is confirmed, it will follow.”

……

On the rugged mountain road, Tai Shici was dejectedly reviewing the battles of this period of time.He summed up three failure lessons and reasons for himself.One is that Wu Jun believed that the terrain of the southwest battlefield was mostly mountainous and dangerous, so the horses had no effect at first, so they basically did not bring cavalry.However, on some local battlefields with flat terrain, the cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry of Liang Guo, can have an absolute advantage.The second is that he underestimates the enemy too much, which is undoubtedly fatal to troops like Liang Jun who do not follow common sense.The third is that the journey from Jiaozhi to Yunnan is too long.Resupply is very difficult, especially after crossing the port of Manchao, and then going up the water, all the supplies have to be carried on the shoulders.Forcing Wu Jun to make a quick decision.Once the two sides stalemate, Liang Jun will take the initiative.It would be much more convenient if troops could be marched from Xinggu County occupied by Liu Bei.

The more Tai Shici thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he finally comforted himself and said: "In the current situation, as long as we can bring these remnants of defeated generals back to Jiaozhi safely, it will be considered a good result. Wait for someone to settle down in Jiaozhi, and then make plans."

Thinking of this, he asked loudly to the left and right: "Where is this place? How far is it from Jiaozhi?"

A soldier came to Taishi Cima and reported, "General Qi, this place should be in Ailao County. After we left this mountain road, we went back to the bank of Pushui. Then we marched down to Pushui After more than a hundred miles, it is considered to be back in the territory of Jiaozhi."

Tai Shici nodded and said: "I guess the Liang army is still chasing us. Pass on our military order, speed up the march, and strive to return to Longbian City as soon as possible. To avoid long nights and dreams."

Following the shouts one after another, Tai Shici's military orders quickly spread throughout the three or four thousand remnants.The whole loose team suddenly accelerated their pace.

Not long after, they left the forest, and the road returned to the bank of Pushui.But they walked for another half an hour, and a few scouts who were inquiring ahead came back as if flying, and said to Tai Shici out of breath: "General Qi, it's not good. It's the shadow of a strange ship like Liang Jun. It should be... they should be blocking the front."

Tai Shici's heart sank, and he was about to order to stop the advance when he heard a scream in his ear.Then there was the sound of arrows piercing through the air.One of his personal soldiers was shot to the ground by a heavy arrow. Obviously, Liang Jun had an ambush nearby.

"Form a circular formation, prepare to defend!" Tai Shici shouted heart-piercingly.

Under a flurry of arrows, Wu Jun has fallen nearly 200 people, which shows that the opponent has hundreds of crossbowmen alone.Wu Jun has not yet fully lined up the ring formation.Liang Jun's Viking soldiers and spear shield soldiers emerged from the woods and bushes.The soldiers running ahead threw throwing axes and spears one after another.At the same time, the crossbowmen in the Wu army also fired back and forth.

With the noise of bang bang bang bang, Wu Jun's unfinished "shield wall" was continuously hit by throwing axes and spears.Some shields were directly split by throwing axes.Some had so many spears inserted that the shield bearer couldn't lift the shield.Of course, there were also flying axes and spears that directly hit the bodies of Wu soldiers.

There was a gap in Wu Jun's incomplete circular formation.Among the rushing Liang Junbing soldiers, there were also several tall giant ape warriors.All the soldiers of the Wu army trembled with fear.

When a giant ape soldier rushed to less than three battles away from Wu Jun's formation, almost all Wu Jun's arrows shot at him.Amidst the tinkling sound, most of the arrows were bounced to the ground, and the few arrows that barely passed through the thick armor were only stuck on the armor, causing some flesh and blood injuries to the giant ape warrior at most.

Several spearmen of Wu Bing were located in the direction that this giant ape soldier was advancing.However, there are still some sword and shield players ahead of them.It's just that these sword and shield players were either killed by flying spears and axes before, or their shields were destroyed.

One of the sword and shield soldiers' shield was full of spear blades. When he was trying to pull out the spear blades stuck on the shield, he saw the giant ape warrior rushing towards him with strides.He hastily discarded the shield and rushed to the back of the formation, but was beheaded on the spot by a general of the Wu army.The general shouted loudly: "Those who are afraid of the enemy and retreat, kill without mercy, fight on the spot!"

The giant ape soldier's long sword had already been swung, and the light of the sword flashed, and the sword and shield soldiers in front of the spearman fell to the ground one after another.Only one sword and shield hand escaped the blow by chance. He swung the steel knife in his hand and rushed towards the opponent. He rushed to the vicinity of the giant ape warrior, but was knocked down by a spear flying from behind the opponent.

Now those Wu army spearmen can only face this monster-like giant ape soldier by themselves.They bit the bullet and stabbed the spears in their hands at each other.At the same time, the giant ape warrior took a step back, and at the same time swung the long knife towards them.

In a gust of blood and rain, several Wu Jun spearmen were cut open by the sharp and powerful long knife.Only two of them survived, but both were also seriously injured.One had his arms severed, and another had his belly slit open.On the other hand, the giant ape warrior was unscathed.Just because the latter's long knife was nearly two feet longer than the opponent's spear.During the time that the giant ape warrior had been stabbing, a large number of soldiers from the Liang army had rushed into the formation of the Wu army from both sides of him...

Chapter 507

In Wu Jun's circular formation, a gap suddenly opened on the other side of Liang Jun's attacking direction.Tai Shici rode out with a dozen or so generals on horseback.
