Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Feng Yu pondered: "Chengdu has a population of 3, and the Qiang people will not be able to move quickly if they take these people captive. Moreover, the main force of the Qiang people will not be dragged down by these captives, and will only escort them with a small force to follow the main force slowly. "

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Send my king's order to dispatch a team of scouts, and two battalions of Qingqi Feiyu to chase after them! After discovering my Han people who were captured by the Qiang soldiers, play by ear and try our best to rescue them."

Following his order, the orders of the generals immediately sounded in the brigade behind Feng Yu.People shouted and neighed, thousands of war cavalry galloped out of the team, gathered together and chased to the west...

Feng Yu rode his horse into Chengdu City, only to see that the whole Chengdu was ruined and the population was small.When they arrived at the Shu Palace, there was only a piece of ashes left.Liu Zhang has no children, only two young daughters.In the letter, he entrusted Feng Yu with the entire Yizhou of Shu.

……

On a road to the west of Chengdu City, the dust is flying.Tens of thousands of people gathered here, and the Qiang soldiers and cavalry on both sides galloped back and forth, and the sound of whipping and scolding sounded from time to time.

On the side of the road, an old woman in ragged clothes and sweating profusely walked a little slower.He was rushed up by a Qiang rider and whipped him.

When the Qiang rider was about to whip the second whip, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if his entire chest had been emptied.Looking down, an arrow shot out of his chest.He vomited blood and fell off his horse.

Almost at the same time, arrows flew one after another, and the Qiang cavalry escorting these captives kept getting shot and fell off their horses.Only then did they discover the clue, and shouted loudly one after another: "Han people, the Han army is coming. Enemy attack! Be alert!"

A leader of the Qiang soldiers was shouting orders, trying to gather the army.He suddenly heard a strange noise in the air, he looked up, and saw a golden eagle flying down, directly hitting the face of the Qiang soldier leader.

When the golden eagle soared into the sky again, the leader of the Qiang soldiers was already a bloody mess, and two eyeballs had been snapped out by the golden eagle's sharp claws.Covering his face with his hands, he screamed and fell off the horse.Those Han people who were taken into captivity swarmed up and smashed the man into meat paste with stone poles in an instant.

With the rapid sound of horseshoes, Liang Jun's iron cavalry holding a steel knife with the head of the brigade had already rushed to the front.They quickly passed by both sides of the team, raised their knives and slashed down, beheading a famous Qiang soldier to the ground.Caught off guard, the Qiang soldiers fought on their own, trying their best to intercept each other.

A Liang Jun scout had just cut off the head of a Qiang soldier on the right with a steel knife, and another Qiang cavalry had already killed him from the left, and it was too late for the scout to block the lance in his hand.

When the latter was only three feet away from the scout with his spear, the cheetah squatting behind the scout had already jumped to the ground. At this moment, it jumped up, and its white fangs bit the Qiang soldier's neck.

Faced with the fierce attack of Liang Jun's cavalry and the resistance of the captive Han people.The morale of the white wolf and Qiang cavalry escorting these captives collapsed and they fled in despair.

When these Han people knew that it was Liang Wang Feng Yu's troops who came to rescue them, they knelt down on the avenue, weeping uncontrollably.Some ministers and bureaucrats of the Shu Kingdom were also among these people, and they had mixed feelings.

……

In Nan'an, veteran Yan Yan stood motionless on the top of the city wall.The big gun was stuck on the ground, and the whole person was like a sculpture.One mile outside the city is Zhu Luo's camp. There are tents everywhere in the camp, giving a sense of boundlessness.

Zhu Luo's soldiers have been at the city for more than two months.At first, except for several tentative attacks, they did not attack Nan'an on a large scale, but gradually increased their troops outside Nan'an city.I don't know what to do.It wasn't until recently that Fanbing stepped up their offensive, and each attack became more violent.

There were originally three fortresses outside Nan'an that supported Nan'an, but now two of them have been breached by Zhu Luo's soldiers.As the strength of Zhu Luo's army increased day by day, the remaining camp was also besieged together with Nan'an City, but the encirclement was not tight.

Yan Yan's ears moved, and his lowered eyelids lifted.In the distance, the sound of long horns and wooden clapper-like drums sounded again.Yan Yan paused the big gun on the ground, spit out two words: "Prepare for battle!" Then added: "Pay attention to saving arrows! Don't shoot arrows at will if the enemy doesn't get close!"

The siege formation composed of three or four thousand Zhu Luo troops slowly moved towards the city of Nan'an. In the large formation, the soldiers of the Zhu Luo army surrounded several huge and heavy siege machines.These instruments were pulled by dozens of elephants and slowly approached the city wall.

They are siege vehicles.There are still many war elephants on the two wings to prevent the opponent's cavalry from suddenly rushing out of the city to attack.When they got close to the city wall for less than thirty battles, the Shu army's crossbowmen on the city wall just fired their arrows, and the arrows shot towards the Zhu Luo army's formation like a shower, many of which were rockets.

An hour ago, Nan'an City was baptized by a summer thunderstorm.The whole world was wet, and the rocket went out after it fell, and it had almost no effect.This is why Zhu Luojun chose this moment to attack.

Zhu Luo's crossbowmen also shot back with arrows. Their arrows were more dense than those of the Shu army, so that the Shu army at the top of the city could hardly raise their heads, and crouched behind the battlements one after another.But Yan Yan still observed the enemy's situation as usual, but there was an extra shield in his left hand.There are more than a dozen arrow feathers inserted into his shield and armor.

When Zhu Luojun's siege equipment was attached to the Nan'an city wall, following the loud orders of the generals of the Shu army, the soldiers braved the enemy's dense arrows, flashed out from behind the battlements, and threw rolling wood and stones at the Fanbing soldiers below the city.Some logs were still wrapped in sackcloth and straw, and were thrown into the city after being lit.

The siege equipment was a huge ramp car, and the springboard protruding from the front directly crossed the moat.After these ramp cars approached the moat, the springboard of the suspension bridge fell and was placed on the battlements.

Zhu Luofan's soldiers rushed towards the top of the city along the ramp, screaming and shouting.

A leader rushing to the forefront, seeing that he was about to rush to the top of the city wall, suddenly found a huge spear blade rushing towards him.It was too late for him to dodge, he was pierced into the head by the opponent, and died on the spot.That was Yan Yan's big gun.

Chapter 205 General Kshatriya's Ambition

Yan Yan withdrew his big gun and stabbed at another Zhu Luofan soldier again.Hundreds of Shu soldiers behind him followed him with spears and spears, slashing and killing the Fan soldiers who rushed up.Soldiers on both sides were constantly shot down by arrows or pierced by spears.Corpses kept rolling down the ramp.

The fierce fighting at the head of Nan'an City lasted for half an hour, and they were still in a stalemate.Yan Yan's battle robe was already blood-stained, and the number of Shu soldiers around him became less and less as the battle progressed.

A fan soldier pierced a Shu army soldier's stomach with a spear, and the latter rushed forward a few steps along the barrel of the gun with a steel knife in his hand, and the barrel was stained red with blood.With the last of his strength, he stabbed the blade into the opponent's neck.

At the other end of the ramp down the city, a black group of Zhu Luofan soldiers gathered, pouring towards the city head in a steady stream.More slope cars rode up to Nan'an City one after another...

There was a look of despair in Yan Yan's eyes.He knew very well in his heart that if things went on like this, within an hour, Nan'an would definitely fall.

At this time, the sound of drums and trumpets suddenly sounded from behind Zhu Luo's army, but this time the rhythm was completely different from before.The Zhu Luo army who was besieging the city heard this voice.They gradually withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner, and seven or eight giant ramp vehicles were slowly pulled away by the elephants.

Yan Yan wondered in her heart: 【The other party is about to win, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops? 】.While he was wondering, dust suddenly rose from the northwest direction, and the sound of horses galloping like thunder in summer was coming leisurely.

Although it is still unclear what the name of the banner they played is, but one thing is certain, it is a Chinese-style banner, and there are Chinese characters on the flag.Yan Yan was even more familiar with their armor and equipment, it was Liang Guo's heavy cavalry equipment.

Yan Yan was overjoyed, it turned out that Liang Guo's reinforcements had arrived, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to prepare to open the city gate to welcome the reinforcements into the city.

According to Feng Yu's instructions, Xu Rong personally led two heavy cavalry battalions to support Nan'an.At this time, the Zhu Luofan army under Nan'an City had just assembled [-] troops, and had not yet built tight fortifications, so they could not completely encircle the entire Nan'an City and the camps outside the city.Therefore, Xu Rong easily rushed into Nan'an City after breaking through the blocking of several Zhu Luofan troops.

"Your Excellency, is Yan Yan, the general of Shu?" Xu Rong asked after seeing Yan Yan.

Yan Yan didn't know Xu Ronghou, nor did she know what happened in Chengdu.He replied, "This old man is Yan Yan. Dare I ask the general's name? The general came from Chengdu? Did the king of Shu send you a message from the military order?"

"A certain is General Yingyang of Liang State, and Xu Rong, the commander of the First Army. He came to support Nan'an under the order of the King of Liang. Chengdu...Chengdu has been captured by the White Wolf Qiang, and Liu Zhang, the King of Shu, died for the country!"

After Yan Yan heard this, she was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.In the end, he still couldn't believe it and asked: "Is this really true?"

Xu Rong smiled wryly, and said, "How can someone joke about such a thing. Before the king of Shu died, he entrusted the king of Shu and the entire territory of the kingdom of Shu to King Liang..."

When Yan Yan heard this, she burst into tears and burst into tears.Then he patted his thigh and said, "It's all my fault. If it wasn't for a certain person who persuaded the king of Shu to drive the Liangzhou army out of the Shu territory. It was Liang and Shu who worked together to prevent the invasion of the Fan army as soon as possible. Why would there be such a disaster today?"

After a long time, Yan Yan's mood stabilized.Xu Rong just persuaded: "Old General Yan, it's useless to regret these things now. Let's think more about how to deal with it in the future. The King of Liang sent me here this time. In addition to supporting you, he also informed you of the King of Liang's resistance. Fan Zhizhi..."

……

Zhu Luojun's big camp, the general's big tent.After a young general entered the account, he threw his helmet on the ground fiercely, and said sullenly, "Brother, I'm about to capture this city, why did you suddenly order the troops to withdraw?"

A few days after the first case, there stood a burly man with cheeks all over his face.This person is Rahal Sharma, the general of the largest army of the Chula Empire.The young man across from him was his younger brother Dekal Sharma.

The surname Sharma belongs to the Kshatriya caste in the Brahman caste system.Kshatriya belonged to the class of warrior kings, second only to the priest class of Brahmins.

It can also be seen from the appearance of their skin that they are obviously different from ordinary Cholas.Relatively speaking, the skin color is much lighter than that of ordinary Choro people.The facial features and facial features are also obviously different from those of ordinary Chola people.

The common Chola is mainly composed of the Dravidian race.Generally speaking, Brahmins and Kshatriyas are descendants of the Aryans who invaded the subcontinent thousands of years ago.

Not limited to the Chola Dynasty.Almost all ethnic groups in the Shendu area accept Brahmanism, and even the Brahman Kingdom in Southeast Asia.Among them, the Brahmin and Kshatriya castes are all descendants of this Aryan.The difference is limited to proportional size in the population.

In the ancient northern country, the proportion of the population of these two castes is larger.The proportion becomes smaller as you go south. In some Brahmin kingdoms in Southeast Asia, only the royal family has a little Brahmin blood.And it is likely to be impersonated by low-caste poisonous colonists.

The Aryans as conquerors did not survive as a whole nation.Instead, they were scattered among the conquered poisoned nations.But in the peculiar way of the caste system, it has solidified into the ruling class of each nation.

Rahal Sharma glanced at his aggrieved younger brother, and said unhurriedly: "Han has reinforcements coming, and they are all heavy cavalry. I don't want my soldiers to cause unnecessary casualties."

After a pause, there was a strange look in his eyes, and he said, "Descartes, there is one more thing to tell you. The king sent another large army to help in the battle. It is the army that just conquered Magadha. They are coming from Shu Shen Poison Dao came, do you know what this means?

Things depend on the long term.The climate here is so rich and pleasant. After we conquer this place, the king will definitely not let it go, but this place is too far away from our homeland.Therefore, the king will definitely establish one or even several new kingdoms here.When…"

Descartes nodded: "I understand what my brother means, for our Sharma family. We need to preserve some strength. But are we going to spend it with the Orientals in Nan'an like this?"

Rahal spread his hands and said: "Of course not. The king has recruited tens of thousands of Kalabola untouchables as conscripts. They are being transported by sea to the port of Sawady. When they come north, they can Let them be cannon fodder to attack Nan'an City."

Descartes asked another question that he had been puzzled for a long time: "Brother, our large army has a strength of [-] soldiers including the civilian auxiliary soldiers. Not counting the auxiliary soldiers, there are more than a dozen regiments with nearly [-] soldiers. With so many troops, we can definitely Separate part of the division and attack the hinterland of the Han country. Why are you entangled with the Han army under several cities?"

Rahal raised his eyebrows, and said to Descartes in a reprimanding tone: "Because our logistics is a problem! To transport grain from Sawady to here, we have to cross thousands of miles of mountains, and there are hidden in these mountains similar to Karabo. A barbarian like that. You come from the Kshatriya caste family, not just bravery is enough. You also need resourcefulness, military resourcefulness, understand?"

Chapter 206 Trap

In the early summer of the fifth year of Jian'an.In the northern part of the Central Shu Plain and the river valley in the northern part of Jiangzhou, you can see surging crowds staggering forward in the scorching sun and heavy rain from time to time.

Feng Yu, who took over the territory of Shu, issued an emergency evacuation order, gathered in Shu County, and the common people of nearly twenty cities in Bazhong County, helped the old and the young, and began to move to the mountainous areas of Brazil County and Badong County in the north.There, part of the population will be temporarily arranged to resettle in Hanzhong.

The fact that Zhu Luoguo aggressively invaded the Han territory was finally accepted by the Han court in Wandu, Nanyang.The imperial court notified the princes of all parties of the news in the form of a mansion report, and Liu Xie also ordered all parties to provide support for Liang and Yue.

The princes quickly responded.Cao Cao allocated 20 Dendrobium grain and grass to Feng Yu, but he did not send a single soldier because he still needed to fight against Xianbei Wuhuan.

Ma Teng sent Ma Chao to take two thousand cavalry from Xiliang into Hanzhong to help them along the Jinniu Road.Lü Bu sent Cheng Lian to ride two thousand paces through Nanyang and enter the state of Liang to help.

Sun Ce offered [-] hu of grain and grass to Shi Xie of Yue State, but Shi Xie also declined Wu State's reinforcements.Because the main attack direction of Zhuluo Fanbing was to the north, compared with Yizhou, Shixie's Jiaozhou encountered very little pressure from Fanbing.

Part of Liu Biao's Linjiang Kingdom's border in Zangke County is also adjacent to the area occupied by the Jura Army, and it also needs to fight against Fanbing, so it did not support Yue Kingdom and Liang Kingdom.

……

In midsummer, it is still cool on the Xiling Snowfield in the west of the Central Shu Plain.On a large green hillside, there are dots of tents.

This is the camp of the White Wolf Qiang. After Wu Bodeng plundered Chengdu, he did not disband the assembled White Wolf Qiang tribes.Instead, continue to stay here, waiting for the opportunity.

In front of a large tent, a bonfire was burning, roasting cattle and sheep.Several Qiang women are singing and dancing.More than a dozen Qiang leaders surrounded U Bo Deng, drinking and eating meat.

"Deqin, last time we plundered Chengdu and robbed a lot of property, but unfortunately we didn't get slaves. Compared with slaves, the property is a hen that can lay eggs, while the former can only sit and eat." A tribal leader chewed the barbecue and muttered.

Another leader of the White Wolf Qiang echoed: "Oh, it's Feng Yu's bastard's fault for our good. Otherwise, we would have at least seven or eight Han women serving in our tent now."

Everyone laughed, only Wu Bo Deng said coldly: "Why are you panicking? Follow Deqin and me. Are you afraid that you will have no meat to eat, no wine to drink, no women and slaves?"

At this time, several Qiang cavalry came galloping from a distance.After they stationed in the horse camp, the leader ran to the vicinity of Wu Bo Deng and whispered to him.

Wu Bodeng laughed and said, "As soon as I mentioned this, the opportunity has come. According to the reports from our detectives, a large number of Han people are gathering thirty miles northwest of Chengdu. Feng Yu wants to get them from Jinniu Road to Brazil. And there are many wealthy households among these Han people, carrying carts full of gold and silver treasures. When don’t we take these Han people here now?”

Everyone was overjoyed, only one tribal leader said worriedly: "But it's only [-] miles away from Chengdu City, how can Feng Yujun in the city just sit idly by?"

Wu Bodeng sneered and said, "My scout horses have been monitoring Chengdu City. Most of the troops in Chengdu went to support Nan'an. Han'an went, and there were not many troops left. It's good if they can hold Chengdu. Do you have extra strength to protect those Han civilians?"

At the end, U Bo Deng said in a cold voice: "Pass down our military order, each department will feed the horses enough fodder, drink enough water, and let the soldiers prepare dry food. The whole army will set out at dawn tomorrow!"

Another tribal leader reminded: "Deqin, don't you leave someone to watch the house?"

"No need, how could the Han people come here. Besides, we will go back quickly, and we will be back soon."

……

Two days later in the morning, after a downpour ended, the sun came out again.Thirty miles northwest of Chengdu, on the banks of the Tuoshui River, the tent-shack camp has been left in a mess by the violent wind and rain.Many shacks and tents have collapsed to the ground.

Suddenly, the sound of rolling thunder came from the west again.In an instant, a large group of cavalry appeared on the horizon.Seven or eight thousand warriors of Bailangqiang came rushing in like a flood.

Unable to bear the sweltering heat that is characteristic of the Central Shu Basin, these White Wolf and Qiang cavalry came here with their upper body shirtless, brandishing their spears and sabers.

When they rushed to the vicinity of the camp, they did not rush into the camp, but circled around the camp.Surrounded by his personal guards and tribal leaders, U Bo Deng carefully observed the situation in the camp while galloping his horse.

The camp was in a mess, but strangely, there was no one in the camp.Wu Bodeng was suspicious and thought to himself: "Could it be that the Han people just left these two days?" He immediately ordered several scouts to enter the camp to check.

At this time, several cavalry came galloping towards him and reported to him: "Report to Deqin, more than a dozen corpses of our reconnaissance cavalry scouts have been found nearby."

Because Wu Bodeng was worried that the Han people gathered here would evacuate ahead of time, so he sent some scouts to watch, but unexpectedly, they were all killed.

These reconnaissance scouts are all white wolf Qiang's one-in-a-million, first-class experts. Even if they are discovered, they will not be killed so easily.Unless the other party had premeditated it... Wu Bodeng shuddered when he thought of this.

He quickly followed the guards to check, and saw more than a dozen corpses lined up on the grass.Some of them were wounded by swords, but most of them were bitten by wild animals.

At this time, the reconnaissance cavalry who went to the camp to check the situation reported: "Report to Deqin Borden, there is no one in the Han Chinese camp!"

"Deqin, this Han must have just evacuated, we may have time to chase after him now," said a leader of the White Wolf Qiang beside Wu Boden.

Wu Bodeng resolutely said: "No! Give me the military order to evacuate! Let's go back first and let the scouts find out. I'm afraid it's Feng Yu's..."

As soon as he said this, a large group of cavalry appeared in the distance, and thousands of cavalry came out of the forest in the distance, forming a cavalry array with a width of one mile, rolling towards them like thunder.

Wu Borden roared: "Retreat!", and all the Qiang cavalry retreated westward like a tide.But before they ran twenty battles, thousands of arrows came in densely.

These Qiang riders were all shirtless, their bodies were easily pierced by the arrows, and they fell off their horses in pieces.After the opponent's war cavalry got a little closer, they kept parallel with Bai Langqiang's cavalry team, and kept shooting strong arrows.The incoming arrows are more accurate.

These Qiang cavalry riders had no armor, and the arrows either killed them immediately or fell off their horses due to serious injuries.More and more Qiang soldiers fell off their horses, and more and more Qiang war horses lost their masters and escaped.Not long after, the Qiang soldiers lost thousands of cavalry.Feng Yu's two thousand Qingqi Feiyu pursued closely.

Chapter 207 Slaying the Wolf

Wu Borden found that the opponent's horse was much faster than his own, and his stamina must also be higher than that of his own horses that had been running all day and all night.They didn't catch up directly, but deliberately opened a distance in order to take advantage of their riding and shooting.

Some of the White Wolf Qiang Cavalry also carried bows and crossbows to fight back, but they were not as good as the opponent in terms of range or accuracy. What was worse was that Qingqi Feiyu was wearing a kind of sophisticated armor, and the arrows could not completely penetrate it, causing fatal damage to the opponent. harm.

Wu Bo Deng understood that if this continues, it only takes an hour for the opponent to shoot and kill all the Qiang soldiers.He immediately ordered to the left and right: "Separate some people to meet them and kill them!"

Although the Qiang cavalry were fleeing at this time, their formation was not chaotic, nor did they become defeated.Wu Bodeng's military order was quickly conveyed, and after a while amidst the yelling of the leaders, two or three thousand Qiang cavalry separated and galloped towards Qingqi Feiyu who was walking in the same direction as him.

Qingqi Feiyu's arrows immediately concentrated on the two or three thousand Qiang cavalry, and at the same time they slowed down their horses.Arrows whizzed past the Qiang cavalry formation, shooting into naked bodies from time to time, splashing out patches of blood.

When these Qiang cavalry rushed to the opponent's distance of less than [-] battles, more than half of them were shot and killed by the opponent, and every Qiang cavalry rider was terrified in his heart.Those Qingqi Feiyu had put away their bows and arrows, pulled out their special horse-chopping steel knives several feet long, and galloped towards them on horseback.

Although everyone of the Qiang cavalry showed timidity at this time, driven by the inertia of the group, they continued to charge forward.They also raised their lances or sabers, and galloped their horses.

The two sides quickly passed by the wrong horse.In this fleeting moment.A Qiang soldier stabbed a Qingqi Feiyu off his horse with a cavalry spear, but he himself was soon beheaded by another saber.

Another Qiang soldier missed with a shot, sparking a string of sparks on the opponent's black iron armor, and was then slashed on the head by the opponent.

Although another Qiang soldier slashed across the opponent's body with a steel knife in his hand, the blade only cut a big hole in the black iron armor.Under the action of the reaction force, his tiger's mouth became numb, and the steel knife in his hand came out.

The opponent's Saber pierced his chest, and then, the high-speed blade cut open half of his chest.

The two sides only had to hedge against the wrong horse once to decide the winner.Most of the Qiang cavalry were cut off from their horses, and the remaining two or three hundred cavalry did not dare to turn around and fight again, so they fled the scene directly on their horses.Qingqi Feiyu didn't pursue them anymore, but continued to pursue Wu Boden's main force.The Qiang cavalry who slipped through the net may not be able to escape, they may be attacked and killed by the Liang cavalry scouts around them.

……

Wu Borden turned his head to look, and found that the pursuers had been thrown off, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.Although the two or three thousand Qiang cavalry may never return, but how can he keep the main force.As long as the vitality is not hurt, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.
