Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Hua Xiong immediately replied: "Hey, although they belong to the same family as the rest of the Chen Han tribe, they are actually divided into two clans. The ancestors of Qin Han came from the Great Wall of Liaodong hundreds of years ago to escape the hard labor of the Tyrant Qin. The construction site escaped here. After years of fighting with the Mahan ancestors who were entrenched here, no one could eat the other, so the two sides reached a peace agreement. At that time, the lord of Mahan gave them the high mountains in the east. As a result, they It took root in the east, but there are still many savages who are also Koreans living in the vast mountainous area of ​​the east..."

Xu Rong, who sat between Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao without words for a long time, interrupted Hua Xiong, "What is a savage?"

Hua Xiong rubbed his head and muttered: "I don't understand this, it's what the tribal leaders of Qin Han said."

Zhang Liao explained with a slight smile: "The meaning of the word savage comes from the Qin, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in our Central Plains. The savage refers to the people of the Fang Kingdom who do not live in the city or nearby. The people in or near the city. However, in the meaning of these Koreans, the savages not only mean that they do not live in the city or near the city, but more importantly, they are not ruled by the king of Fangguo, but live in groups of dozens or hundreds of people, scattered Among the mountains."

Hua Xiong continued, "That's right, that's what it means. Although these Han Yi savages lived and worked in the same area as these Qin remnants were divided by Ma and Han, they were two races with different languages. Naturally. They are divided into two factions, and they have fought openly and secretly with each other for more than [-] years. But in recent decades, this indigenous Korean family has been assisted by Ma Han, and when it is strong, it has trampled Qin Han underfoot. Although the various tribes of Qin and Han are dissatisfied , but there is nothing we can do about it. Recently, when my imperial army marched southward to the land of Sanhan, the ministries of Qin and Han felt that the opportunity had come, so they took the initiative to get in touch with XX. But..."

When Hua Xiong said this, he paused, and the expression on his face became awkward, and then continued: "However, they also made some demands. The rest of the demands are easy to handle, but one of them is that they want the court to continue to maintain Their Fangguo, I hope that these Fangguo of theirs will be officially entrusted by the emperor as in the pre-Qin Zhou Dynasty, and not the kind of feudal princes under the Han system who only enjoy food, but all the power is in the hands of the prime minister. A certain knew that His Majesty wanted to incorporate all Haidong into the county system, but the situation was urgent at that time, so a certain could only perfunctory them, pretending that the Holy Majesty would never object to this matter, and let them just rest assured. Wait until the overall situation is determined in the future , let’s say that the Holy Majesty did not agree in the end, and then sealed some of their counties and townships to shirk the matter.”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Since Brother Hua Xiong said so, we still have to keep our promise, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster."

Xu Rong frowned at the side, and said: "But at the moment, not counting the overseas foreign states who professed their vassals to Daliang and the king of Wei who was conferred overseas, in the area under the jurisdiction of our Daliang County, even a Hou Guodu No. Even Township Hou Tinghou only enjoys the enshrining of the local county government. However, the Holy Majesty clearly stated that the entire Haidong Peninsula would be brought under the jurisdiction of counties and counties in East Qingzhou, so how could it be possible to allow several independent princely states ?”

Zhang Liao asked Xu Rong with a slight smile: "They only proposed to keep their Fangguo, but they didn't mention where their Fangguo must be?"

Hua Xiong thought for a while, and said affirmatively: "They didn't make this request. Moreover, although the Qin and Han people also settled down for a living, they didn't have their children and grandchildren fixed in one place. Move to the city several times."

Zhang Liao asked again: "Then how many countries do they have? How much land does each side need?"

Hua Xiong was confused about this question again, rubbing the back of his head and said, "There are twelve kingdoms in Chenhan, and the Qinhan tribe occupies five of them. As for how much land they need, they have to ask themselves, but these Chenhan Fangguo often has 20 to [-] mu of land for cultivation in each Fangguo. These lands must be flat land, so don’t look at these Chenhan Fangguo’s vast lands on the map, but most of them are barren mountains that are not suitable for farming. This struggle for land is why they are constantly at war with the rest of the world."

Zhang Liao pinched his fingers and said: "Even if we need at least 20 mu of flat land for each party, the total of the five parties is one million mu of land. This is easy to handle. When I was in Bumi City, General Wei Wen talked to me about it." Before his fleet went to sea, His Majesty drew a circle in the ocean two to three hundred miles away from the southwest corner of the Haidong Peninsula map, and marked it as Jeju Island. Ask him to inquire when he has the opportunity. Now, this Jeju Island has been defended The people sent by the Wen Fleet to find out. The island has a radius of 400 miles, an area of ​​[-] million mu, and [-]% of it is plain, so this land is enough to be distributed to the five Qin and Han countries who have taken refuge in us. The coastline of the Eastern Peninsula is far away, and it is not a strategically important place, so if you want to come to the Holy One, you will not refuse."

Chapter 766

A large hut in the middle of Gouxie City.Wu Xiexing's legs were crossed on the floor, he lowered his head to one side, and more than a dozen city lords from the northern part of Mahan stood side by side.Sitting cross-legged on the other side were the five Chen Han Lords who had come to form an alliance with him.There should have been seven of them, but two of them have died under Liang Jun's swords and guns.At this time, they were debating whether to give priority to attacking the Zhangliao Army on the western front or the Huaxiong Army on the eastern front.

A Ma Hanzhu said: "Of course we should concentrate our forces to attack the Liang army on the western front. Their food roads have been stretched very long. Such a long food road will allow us to attack with ease and ease. We should first re- Capture the city of Duoluo, behead the traitor Huma Guli, and pay homage to King Duli of the Su clan."

However, some of the Chenhan city lords retorted: "If the Liang army on the western front is so easy to fight, you won't be defeated one after another, losing cities and lands one after another. And now I heard that Zhang Liao, the commander of the Liang army on the western front, has already defeated the Soviet Union. Fuduli, you have 10,000+ Ma and Han soldiers and civilians in the south and surrendered the beam together. The main force of Zhang Liao may have returned to the north, how can we still hit the stone with an egg."

After hearing this, the people from Ma Hanfang asked in a sullen tone: "Then what do you want to do? Don't forget, it was you, Chen Han, who came to beg us to fight against Liang with us, and we were not the ones looking for it." you…"

Seeing that the debate between the two parties became more and more intense, Wu Xiexing, who had been silent for a long time at the top, immediately interrupted in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense! We are all Korean brothers of the same ancestor, and now we are all Korean brothers." When you unite to fight against Liang, your words will hurt your Qi." Then, he said slowly to Chen Han's side: "Then what do you think?"

The Lord of Chen Han also eased his tone, and cupped his hands at Wu Xiexing, saying: "King Gou Xie, Xiao Wang thinks that we should first concentrate our forces to restore our Chen Han city-state occupied by the Liang army in the mountainous area to the east. The Liang army will gather troops to rescue. Then we set up an ambush in the mountains and beat them hard, and finally made them retreat in the face of difficulties and withdraw from our land of three Koreas."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone on Ma Han's side sneered and said: "This is a good plan. Even if we can beat Liang Jun in the eastern mountainous area, we may not be able to drive him out of Ma Han's territory, but they are sure I won't easily enter your Chen Han's territory again."

When Chen Han heard the teasing words, he was about to get angry again, but some soldiers came to report: "Report to the king, the scouts in front are here to report, a large army of Liang troops is coming from the south, and another army of Liang troops is coming from the east. When they came here, they all entered Doro City. Afterwards, our scouts arranged to conduct multiple investigations in Doro City, and only then did we know that the enemy generals Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong were among them."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and someone said: "The two armies of Liang armies joined forces in Duoluo, and it seems that they are going to attack the few remaining Mahan states like us first."

Wu Xiexing nodded and said: "That's right, and this king also expected that they will attack my Gou Xie country first." As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers came to report: "To my lord, there are four or five shares. Thousands of Liang troops are marching towards the Gou Xie Kingdom!"

The faces of all the people present changed after hearing this.But Wu Xiexing seemed to have a plan, and said with a sneer, "If they want to attack the city of my Gou Xie Kingdom, then give it to them."

Then, Wu Xiexing turned his head and said to those Chenhan people: "This king will accept your opinions, and follow your strategy to solve the problem in the east first."

Those Chen Han masters showed joy, but Wu Xiexing changed the subject: "However, we need to slightly modify the plan you said. We will not recover the cities occupied by Liang Jun, but attack those cities first. Qin and Han city-states, deal with those ungrateful traitors. There are two advantages to doing this. If you destroy them, you will destroy Liang Jun's minions. Without them, Liang Jun will become blind and deaf in the mountains, and we will be in the mountains with us. There is no advantage in fighting anymore. Second, if we besiege one of the cities, they will definitely ask the Liang army for help. And we ambush in advance on the mountain road that the Liang army must pass, and give the Liang army a severe blow."

Those Chen Han people immediately kowtowed to Wu Xiexing and said: "King Gou Xie's plan is very clever, we will follow the king's plan, and kill the tiger first to cut off its claws and teeth."

……

In the misty autumn rain, on the mountain road in front of Gouxie City, there is an army with no end in sight.It was Liang Jun led by Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong himself.They lined up a neat army formation, advancing cautiously on the mountain path at a very slow speed, defending against possible attacks from the dense forests on both sides of the mountain path at any time.From time to time, there were rustling sounds and dogs barking in the forest. It was Liang Jun's mountain scouts searching in the dense forest.

Finally, the former army arrived at the city of Gouxie.Hua Xiong, who was in charge of the front army, stood on his horse, looked up at the closed gate of Gouxie City, and found that apart from a few flags fluttering in the wind and rain, there was no sign of a guarding soldier on the top of the city.He cursed secretly: "Damn, I must have heard the wind again and ran away early."

But even if he made such a conclusion, he still followed Liang Jun's basic code of conduct, sending scouts to climb the city wall and enter the city to open the city gate. The team rushed into the city.As expected, Gou Xie City was completely abandoned by Wu Xie Xing.Soon, Zhang Liao, who was in the middle army, also entered Gouxie City. He sighed to Hua Xiong: "Now Han Yi doesn't want to fight our army head-on. Walking among these high mountains is also quite a headache. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry, so I will continue to play with them. For a while, we will use this dog evil city as the center to conquer the remaining Mahan city-states and wipe out the remaining Mahan army in the surrounding mountains. Then we go west, and now we don’t know whether the cities we occupy in the valleys of Chenhan can be defended only by the Haidong Army.”

Hua Xiong patted his chest when he heard this, and said, "Brother Wen Yuan, don't worry, these Haidong troops are new troops who have just been trained, but even if these Han and barbarians gather the whole army to besiege, they will rely on the fortified city to defend for ten and a half months. It's still fine."

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, during which time Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong attacked everywhere and captured the remaining cities of Ma Han around Gouxie City.As expected by Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, most of these cities were abandoned by the Ma Han army, and a small number of them made a little resistance and then hurriedly withdrew.

However, Liang Jun still failed to discover the main force of Ma Han and Chen Han's army.Zhang Liaohuaxiong had to wait for the garrisoned Haidong Army to arrive before advancing further east into the mountains.On this day, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong were having lunch when they heard someone shouting outside. Zhang Liao heard that although the words were in Chinese that he could understand, the accent was very strange.

Chapter 767 The Expected Ambush

Zhang Liaohuaxiong heard someone shouting outside the door, and just about to ask something, the soldiers had already entered the room and reported: "I want to report to you two generals, this is the person sent by Pu Heju, the leader of Qin Han Silu, and it is said that he is Si The country of Lu is being besieged by the Ma Hanchen and Han coalition forces commanded by Wu Xiexing, so we ask our army to rush to support."

Zhang Liao just muttered, "Silu Country?" Hua Xiong immediately explained, "This Silu Country is one of the five Qin and Han tribes that surrendered to Daliang. Their leader's surname is Pu and his name is Heju. And Silu Country is the most powerful country among the five countries, and it was Park Hyuk-ju who led the five countries to lower our leaders."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said leisurely: "In this way, we must be rescued. If we don't save them, the other four countries will be chilled by the court, and it is possible to rebel when Wu Xiexing's army descends. In addition, if we don't With the help of these Qin and Han Fangguo. In such a vast mountain range, it will take us quite a long time to completely wipe out the Han and Yi who continue to be enemies of the imperial court."

Hua Xiong nodded, but said hesitantly: "But there are hundreds of miles of mountain roads from Gouxie to Silu, and we have to pass through many dangerous places with high mountains and dense forests. I am worried that we will be ambushed by Han Yi. Ah. If we send more scouts to investigate and march cautiously, before we arrive, Silu Kingdom will be defeated and Pu Heju will be captured and killed."

Zhang Liao stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said, "Even so, we have to take this risk. We can divide the soldiers and horses into two parts. If any of them is ambushed by Han and Yi, we can only stick to their original positions and wait until they are attacked." Another one came to support."

Hua Xiong asked with a concentrating face: "What if the two parts of the front and back fall together at the same time?"

Zhang Liao didn't answer his question directly, but instead asked, "Brother Hua Xiong, when you conquered Chenhan, can you draw a detailed map of mountains and rivers that echoes the military drills of the Liang army?"

Hua Xiong replied: "Of course it is, and there is one person in our army with us. He was sent by Silu Kingdom after Qin Han surrendered to the court. He can be called a living map."

Soon Hua Xiong ordered people to bring the map and the Qin and Han people up.After Zhang Liao questioned the map for nearly two hours, he let the "living map" retreat.Hua Xiong noticed that Zhang Liao was stroking his beard and laughing, and asked strangely, "Brother Wen Yuan, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Liao replied: "I have a plan to prevent possible ambushes by the Korean army. You see, from here to Nasilu, although the mountains are high and the water is dangerous, there are many dangerous places where you can set up an ambush, but any two are suitable for ambushes." Therefore, as long as the distance between our two soldiers and horses is less than fifteen miles, it is impossible for us to be attacked at the same time. Of course, if we are too close, we may lose the effect of mutual support and late strike."

Hua Xiong immediately responded: "Then our two departments are about ten miles apart. This distance can be transmitted by two relays of sounding arrows, or the news of the attack can be transmitted by the scout's falcon."

Zhang Liao nodded, and then said meaningfully: "Even if we are prepared, after all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so this will be an extremely difficult battle. Prepare."

At dawn on the second day, Liang Jun soldiers and horses who had been preparing all night drove out of Gouxie City one after another.Because it is completely mountain marching and fighting, so there is no ranger and chariot at all.Even with heavy cavalry, only one battalion of [-] cavalry was brought out of the [-] soldiers and horses.Even if the baggage carried by the heavy soldiers are all ballistas, light siege equipment and explosive bombs used by ballistas.But the two groups of Liang Jun, who were so lightly dressed, brought two hot air balloons into the sky.

Liang Jun was divided into two groups of 4000 and [-], advancing rapidly on the rugged Wuchi mountain road one after the other.There are even no roads in some areas, and the heavy soldiers need to cut logs immediately to clear the roads, build bridges and pave the roads.

By noon of the second day, the former army led by Hua Xiong had reached a place less than sixty miles away from Silu.Hua Xiong, who had been on tenterhooks, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and said to himself with a haha: "Perhaps this Han Yi is too clever in his thinking, and it is unlikely that they, barbarians, would think of a way to gather around for help."

At this time, the Liang army led by Hua Xiong was passing through a dangerous place.Although the mountain road here is much flatter than other places, there is a steep cliff on the left side of the road, and a very steep hillside on the right side.

Although the mountain forest on the hillside is not a towering giant tree, the shrubs and grasses in the middle of the mountain are luxuriant and lush, and the top is close to the ridge, but there are strange rocks.When Hua Xiong was walking halfway, he heard a rumbling sound, and then heard exclamations coming from the front, back, left, and right.He raised his eyes and found that the grass and trees on the hillside rolled like waves in some places.A huge rolling stone emerged from the vegetation and crashed into the queue ahead.Those soldiers of the Liang army were crushed to a pulp before they even had time to say a word.The boulder also rolled into the bottom of the cliff, making a huge echo.

Amidst the roar of boulders, the sound of enemy attacks and warnings came and went, and at the same time, the horns of the Han army sounded among the grass plants on the hillside.The crossbowmen of the Han army emerged from the bushes, drew their bows and released their arrows, and all shot down the mountain.Liang Jun kept falling to the ground amidst the sound of arrows piercing the air.Hua Xiong had already jumped off his horse, shouting loudly like other generals. He first ordered the soldiers to quickly release the arrows, and then directly commanded the nearby Liang soldiers: "Formation, formation!"

Fortunately, Liang Jun was already psychologically prepared, and the marching ranks were arranged according to the counter-ambush.The spear and shield soldiers on one side of the queue quickly formed a shield wall with the large shields in their hands.The longbowman on the other side crouched behind the shield wall, stood up from time to time and shot arrows at the Han army on the hillside.

Arrows from both sides were flying all over the sky, but most of Han Bing's arrows hit the shield wall with a ding ding dong dong, and it was difficult for Liang Jun's long bow and heavy arrows to directly hit the Han Army crossbowmen who were rising and falling in the grass.

Liang Jun's infantry had begun to set up ballistas behind the shield wall, but at this moment, the sound of rolling stones came from the hillside again.Hundreds of rolling stones that had been prepared by Han Bing rolled down the hillside again.Liang Jun could feel that the whole mountain under his feet seemed to tremble slightly.

"Quick! Get out of the way, a rolling stone is falling!" Some Liang Jun began to shout one after another, but many Liang Jun still had no time to dodge.The huge rolling stone directly smashed gaps in the shield wall, crushing the large shield and the beam soldiers behind it together.The cliff was filled with the sound of howling and howling in pain.More than a dozen trucks loaded with ballista accessories and explosive bombs were also pushed down the cliff by rolling stones.

Chapter 768 Bloody Battle

On the mountain road, Liang Jun's soldiers finally assembled their portable ballista against the rain of arrows.Bang bang bang, with the sound of a series of ballista arms colliding, hundreds of fireballs rose into the air and fell towards the hillside.

Puffs of flames and smoke rose from the valley, and the screams and wailing of Han soldiers whose clothes were burned could be heard from time to time.But it is spring now, the vegetation is just green, and there is enough water, which will not fuel the fire.The Han soldiers suddenly shouted in unison and rushed down the mountain.When they rushed to the scattered shield wall away from Liang Jun, the Liang Jun soldiers who seemed to be in a group still threw flying spears and javelins in unison.

The dense javelins pierced through the bodies of Han soldiers one after another like a shower.Several Korean soldiers rushed from the gap in the shield wall to the wide mountain road, only to find that there were immediately Korean soldiers surrounding them.A Han soldier in the lead brandished a weapon and rushed towards Liang Jun screaming. Unexpectedly, there were a few more Liang Jun's spears in his sight in the blink of an eye.Amidst the sound of puffing the sword into the flesh, several spear blades pierced his body almost simultaneously, and his steel knife also slashed on the shoulder of a Liang soldier, and the blade cut over the opponent's ring armor It was rolled, and it stopped until it reached the top of the shoulder armor.

Three Liang soldiers were firing explosive bombs, but they didn't notice that the spear and shield soldiers in front of them had already stopped the Han soldiers rushing down the hillside.On the hillside directly opposite them, another group of Han soldiers rushed down suddenly.A soldier of the Liang Army had just placed the explosive bomb in the magazine slot when he was pierced through the back of the chest by a spear gun and fell into a pool of blood.

Another Liang Bing had quick eyesight and quick hands, picked up the small bamboo basket full of hot bombs and threw it at the dozen or so Han soldiers.With a crackling sound, dozens of small explosive bombs in the basket were all shattered, and naphtha flowed all over the ground in an instant.Almost at the same time, the spear blade of a Han soldier pierced into his face.

The last Liang soldier who was in charge of firing the ballista raised the ballista with the ignition source and threw it at the Korean soldiers.Han Bing, who rushed to the front, dodged sideways and avoided the blow.The fire source fell on the naphtha, and the flames suddenly rose into the air, burning into a sea of ​​flames.More than a dozen Han soldiers were instantly burned into burning men. Some of them ran around and some rolled on the spot amidst howling and howling.Four or five soldiers of the Liang army came from behind and shot them one by one, killing them all on the spot.

The individual combat power of the Han soldiers who launched the first wave of attack was obviously not as good as that of the Liang army, and the Liang army still cooperated with each other to form a simple army formation to attack and kill the enemy soldiers.Therefore, after a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, these Korean soldiers who rushed down the hill suffered huge casualties, but they never rushed into the Liang army's formation.They had to yell and retreat up the slope again.

Just when Hua Xiong thought he could take a breather, he heard a loud bang from nearby. He saw a soldier of the Liang army fly backwards with his shield on, and slid directly to the bottom of the cliff. .

It turned out that these Han soldiers began to throw boulders at the Liang army down the hillside one after another.Unlike the previous rolling stones, this time it was the stones thrown by Han Bing with earthen catapults.Although their catapults are crudely made and the distance for throwing stones is very limited, but because they are condescending, the stones can be thrown quite far, and they are quite powerful.

Whenever Liang Jun's shield wall was hit by these stones, the shield and people were knocked down to the ground, and the shield shattered and people died.Some Liang Jun spear and shield soldiers were even sent flying under the cliff with their shields.

Seeing this going on like this, Hua Xiong was about to collapse his entire army due to heavy losses before Zhang Liao arrived from the rear.He swept up the hillside with his eyes, and after careful observation, he found that Ma Hanbing's catapults were all on the hillside more than ten battles away from the mountain road.He shouted: "Boys, move forward and destroy all the enemy's catapults. Only in this way can we save us until reinforcements arrive!"

The military order was passed down, and the soldiers of the Liang army threw away their spears, pulled out their first knives, and even threw away their big shields and rushed up the mountain.The big shield couldn't resist the boulders thrown by the enemy. Although the ring armor on Liang Jun's body could not completely resist the arrows of the Han army, it could protect Liang Jun soldiers from being killed by a single arrow to the greatest extent.

In order to boost morale, Hua Xiong took the lead in rushing forward.Boulders, arrows flying all over the sky.Some Liang Jun was not happy to be hit by the boulder, and they were instantly smashed to pieces.There are also some soldiers of the Liang Army who were shot like hedgehogs by random arrows. Although they were only injured on the flesh, their battle robes were soaked in blood, and they would die in battle if they lost too much blood.Even so, Liang Jun soldiers continued to rush up the hillside without hesitation.

With two or three arrows stuck in his body, Hua Xiong had already seen a Han army's trebuchet in the grass in front of him, and even saw the panicked expression on Han Bing's face. The speed pierced straight away, piercing through the opponent's chest with a pop.Hua Xiong directly lifted the corpse into the air, and the soldiers behind him also covered and killed him.After a fierce fight, the Korean soldiers next to the catapults were either beheaded or driven to a higher place, and then those catapults were overthrown under the hillside.

The Han army was caught off guard by Hua Xiong's assault, and it took a quarter of an hour to react, and regrouped its troops to attack down the hillside.Liang Jun should not have more enemies with fewer enemies on the hillside, so he withdrew after destroying the opponent's trebuchet.

Zhang Liao, who was walking ten miles away, saw the sounding arrow with a trail of smoke soaring into the sky.His heart tightened, and he immediately ordered the battalion of heavy cavalry to guard the baggage accompanying the army, and the rest of the soldiers and horses advanced at full speed.

When Zhang Liao approached the battlefield, the Han army and the Huaxiong army were still in a stalemate.After the scouts reported the situation to Zhang Liao, he immediately ordered all the mountain scouts and some elite infantry in the army to climb up the ridge, and then follow the ridge to the rear of the Han army.He took the remaining soldiers and horses and continued to fight along the mountain road to the battlefield.

On the mountain path, Hua Xiong's soldiers had suffered too many casualties, and the remaining soldiers and horses could only shrink to a small section of the mountain path for defense.Although the Han army attacked down the mountain for two consecutive rounds and was repelled by the Liang army, the Liang army was already in jeopardy, and the morale of the soldiers was getting lower and lower.

Hua Xiong, who had two skin traumas, felt dizzy due to massive blood loss.Seeing the Han army charging again, he gritted his teeth, supported the gun on the ground, and said with difficulty: "Boys, prepare for the battle. Reinforcements are coming soon."

Even though he said that, he was extremely anxious in his heart, and doubted whether Zhang Liao would arrive in time.But then he was relieved, because there were bursts of shouts of killing from behind the Han army, and at the same time he saw a large number of Zhang Liao's troops rushing over on the mountain road.Liang Jun's morale was immediately boosted. After Zhang Liao's army arrived, they shouted in unison and went to kill the general on the hillside...

Chapter 769

On the lush and verdant mountains, a Korean army archer bent his bow and set an arrow and fired another arrow on the mountain road, and then he heard a burst of noise behind him.At first, he didn't pay much attention, thinking that this was a new round of charge from his pawns.

Then he immediately remembered that there seemed to be no pawn deployment behind him.When he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a chill go straight from his back to his heart, and then he saw a spear blade protruding from his chest.Just as he fell to the ground screaming, the screams of Han soldiers also sounded around him.

The Liang army appearing from the ridge caught the soldiers of the Han army halfway up the mountain off guard. First they were massacred, and then they made a mess.They fled down the mountain in one go.At the foot of the hillside, the soldiers of the Han army who had launched a new round of charges also withdrew to the mountain under the counterattack of the Liang army supported by Zhang Liao.Two groups of Korean soldiers collided and merged into one place more than ten battles away from the mountain road.

On the mountain road, the remaining Liang Jun portable ballistas took the opportunity to reorganize their firing positions, and continued to fire explosive and stone bombs methodically at the gathering place where the Korean soldiers gathered.The longbowman was also able to make precise shots towards the hillside.

The rising flames, the sky full of stone bullets and arrows caused heavy casualties to the Han soldiers.Seeing that he couldn't stand it, the general of the Han soldiers hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! The whole army retreats!" After that, he retreated eastward along a hidden path on the mountainside under the escort of his own soldiers.

The soldiers of the Han army were still in chaos, and it was impossible for most of them to get the military order to retreat from the general.But even if there is no military order, each of them is trying to escape at the moment.It's just that the Liang army on the mountain and the foot of the mountain are already very close. Except for some soldiers on the easternmost side, the rest of the Han soldiers basically have no way to escape.They could only gather more and more densely on the hillside, which made the killing effect of Liang Jun's portable ballista more significant.

When half of the surviving Korean soldiers were killed or injured, they couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground to beg for surrender.At this time, Zhang Liao, whose shirt was soaked in the blood of the enemy, stood on a higher ground, and after hastily scanning the entire battlefield with his eyes, he immediately gave an order: "A certain military order, send two teams of mountain scouts to continue chasing and killing the few escaped Korean troops. Pawn."

Next to him, Hua Xiong, who was being treated and bandaged by a doctor in the army, heard this, and asked in surprise, "Brother Wen Yuan, there is no need for this. Why do we need to spend so much energy on a mere fish that slipped through the net?"

Zhang Liao responded: "The pursuit of these escaped fish was not because the general insisted on taking their lives, but for our army's next move. An enemy army who was about to raid Silu dealt a fatal blow to Han Yi. In this way, In order to prevent them from rushing into the deep mountains again. In order to achieve the effect of surprise, we must double the marching speed, and in addition, we must go all out to pursue those fleeing enemies. Try to prevent them from advancing in advance for the enemies who are besieging Slu Military report."

Hua Xiong suddenly realized and nodded, and then stared: "Our army's marching speed is already at the limit speed, can we double it?"

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "We can only recruit elite cavalry, carry dry food for three days, travel lightly, and travel day and night to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, let them carry all the luggage and escort these The captives are slowly catching up behind them."

Hua Xiong was still doubtful and said: "But our casualties are already very high. According to the results reported by the soldiers, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed and more than a thousand were injured by a certain general. If we draw out elite cavalry, Mao estimates that there will be at most Can take less than 2000 steps to ride out. I don’t know how many Han and Yi soldiers and horses are besieging Silu. Can we annihilate the Han army of Silu with less than [-] troops? In addition, how to ensure that Han and Yi will not come again Continue to ambush us for the rest of the way?"

Zhang Liao said with a calm smile: "Although our army suffered heavy casualties, the enemy's casualties were even greater. This time we killed at least 5000 Han and Yi troops. It is impossible for them to have many troops in Silu country. We With the unexpected surprise attack and the support of Park Hyukju in the city, it should not be a problem to wipe out Han Yi in one fell swoop. As for whether Han Yi will ambush us, of course there is still a possibility. But it is unlikely that there are so many Han Yi There are enough troops to set up an ambush again, and there are only tens of miles away from Silu. So this possibility is very small, and it is worthwhile for us to take this risk."

Hua Xiong nodded in conviction when he heard this. At the same time, there was a sound of barking dogs in the distance, and a soaring falcon appeared in the sky.Nearly [-] mountain scouts led dogs and hawks, drilled into the forest and vegetation, and chased the enemy soldiers who slipped through the net and escaped.

Amidst the humming of the horn, Liang Jun quickly selected [-] elite soldiers, including [-] heavy cavalry and dozens of giant ape warriors who failed to catch up with the previous battle.They only carried the dry food they needed for three days. Except for the [-] portable ballistas and [-] explosive bombs carried by more than [-] pack horses, they did not bring all the other luggage.

Under Zhang Liao's personal leadership, the [-] soldiers hurried on the road.At this time, the sun had sunk below the ridge, and the soldiers of the Liang army could only light torches, and under the guidance of the "living map" of Qin and Han, they continued to march towards Silu country in the dark.

……

Silu is the same as most Chenhan city-states. Their city is surrounded by high mountains and the area is less than twenty miles in radius, but it is a fairly flat plain.

At present, the surroundings of Silu City are full of tents set up by Han Yi with tree branches, animal skins and straw mats, and around Silu City, there is a circle of Juma antlers that are half a person tall, surrounding Silu City to death.Wu Xiexing's 5000-strong army has surrounded Silu City for more than ten days, but it has not launched a decent attack for a long time.Because their real main target is not Park Hyuk Ju.

In the center of these thatched tents was a decent thatched hut, which was Wu Xiexing's tent for the Chinese army.Wu Xiexing had just woken up from his sleep at this time. He stretched himself to look at the morning light shining into the room from the window, and muttered in his mouth: "Time counts, and the troops who ambushed Liang Jun should have results. Well, wait The king has had his breakfast, so the good news must have come."

Just when Wu Xiexing was having breakfast, two generals under his command were already waiting by the side.One of them reported: "My lord, we are fully prepared to attack the city. May I ask your lord when we will start the attack."

Wu Xiexing said vaguely while eating: "When I finish eating, I will attack immediately."

Another person responded: "But the troops who ambushed the Liang army have not sent back the results of the battle. If we break through Silu City, then Liang Jun will turn around when he gets the news. Wouldn't it be a waste of our efforts."

Chapter 770

Wu Xiexing threw his chopsticks on the table and said with a sneer: "According to the time, when we captured Silu City, they should have been ambushed by us long ago. Otherwise, they would never have come to rescue these traitors Han. Rape. So today we don’t have to wait any longer, and we will take Silu City. This king will personally skin the thief, Pu Hyukju!”

In the sound of the horn, the Korean soldiers who had already gathered outside Silu City launched an attack.Thousands of archers and crossbowmen fired their arrows at the same time, shooting towards the city like a gust of wind and rain.The arm levers of hundreds of manpower trebuchets kept shaking up and down, throwing out rocks weighing tens of catties.

At the top of the city, the Qin and Han soldiers who were still exposing their chests and heads outside the battlements disappeared without a trace, and they all crouched behind the battlements.Boulders continuously bombarded the adobe city walls, leaving pitted "bullet marks" on the walls, and tiny cracks appeared on the walls, and the cracks became bigger and bigger as they were repeatedly bombarded.

After the bombardment lasted for an hour, five or six stacked walls collapsed, and the Qin and Han soldiers behind were forced to move to other places to hide. city ​​head.

With the rumble of Han Yi's unique solid wooden war drums, rows of Han army infantry holding large shields and blades quickly approached the city wall from four directions at the same time.Some of them still carry the city ladder on their shoulders.

At the top of the city, Pu Heju, who was fully armored, personally supervised the battle. Seeing the enemy attacking, he drew out his sword and shouted: "The crossbowmen are ready to shoot."

Not long afterward, nearly a hundred crossbowmen stood up behind the battlements of the city wall where he was, bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot randomly at the advancing Wuxie Xing army.But after all, they were few in number, and they were quickly suppressed by the volleys of the opponent's crossbowmen, and some of them were shot into honeycombs by random arrows before they had released two arrows.

Park Hyuk-ju's crossbowmen had to change to sporadic projectiles that rose and fell from time to time. The hit rate of such bows was greatly reduced, but it greatly reduced their own casualties.

A crossbowman of Pak Hyeok squatted behind the pile of walls, loaded another arrow, then suddenly got up and shot an arrow at the bottom of the city, then quickly squatted down, and then his lookout on the pile of walls buckled to Looking around, he found that the arrow was only a few feet away from hitting a soldier of Wu Xiexing.

This made him very annoyed, he immediately opened the crossbow string and fired another arrow, and then stood up again.This time he took a few more breaths to aim, and when his finger was about to pull the trigger, he heard the sound of arrows piercing the air in his ears, and then his chest felt cold, and several arrows passed through his body, and the whole body People are still crooked on the top of the city.

As the arrows of the two sides shuttled back and forth, Wu Xiexing's soldiers erected the ladders densely on the city wall, and then climbed towards the top of the city like ants.
