Three Kingdoms Eschatology

But on the day you mentioned, they invaded Bashu and moved millions of people.Even if you hide in the mountains, you will not be able to avoid this disaster of extermination.At that time, the best thing you can do is to be like the people of Carabola! "

Meng Huo's face turned pale when he heard this.Seeing this, Fazheng took the heat to strike the iron and said, "The Zhuluofan army has invaded Yizhou of our Great Han Dynasty for so long. I think you know a lot about their cultural and educational history. Let's see how many places they conquered. Which place allows alien races to cede land and become kings? In fact, it is considered a favor for them to turn these alien races into low-caste slaves. In addition, this south centrally isolates Bashu from the Hongshawadi they have occupied. How can they let You cut off their borders?"

"Uh...that's not what you said...this..." Faced with Fazheng's interlocking questions, Meng Huo was speechless for a while, unable to answer.

At this time, a person flashed out from behind a bamboo screen. It was a young and beautiful barbarian woman.Before Fazheng saluted and asked, the woman introduced herself:

"The little girl is Zhu Rong, the wife of Manshuai Meng Huo. I have met Mr. Fa here." She spoke and said a blessing to Fa Zheng according to the Han etiquette.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Zhu Rong, who has been admiring me for a long time." Fazheng quickly returned the courtesy.At this time, Zhu Rong had come to Meng Huo's side and whispered something to him.

Meng Huo nodded and asked Fazheng, "Then what does King Liang need?"

Fazheng smiled and said, "My king's request is very simple. I ask the general to cooperate with our army, cut off the Zhu Luo army's Nanzhong food road, and snipe and ambush them in the mountains when they flee."

"Well, this request is not high, so what conditions can King Liang offer?" Meng Huo continued to ask.

"In the area designated by Nanzhong, the commander-in-chief Wuman is allowed to lead himself to one side, and the name can be the chieftain. At the same time, he will also take the official position of our country Liang. If the commander-in-chief is willing in the future, he can lead the Wuman army to expeditions to foreign territories. If he can After making meritorious deeds, the king can go to the imperial court and grant the commander in chief the territory and the title of king. However, there is one rule. After the commander in chief draws up the territory and takes over himself, although he can make his own laws, he is not allowed to rob the people outside the territory as slaves. Otherwise, it will be regarded as for rebellion."

After hearing Fazheng's words, Meng Huo frowned slightly, and muttered, "But Rahal made me the king of Nanzhong, and besides..." Zhu Rong who was next to him stabbed him, and he agreed He said: "Mr. Fa, this matter is settled. Tomorrow we will call together the leaders of the Nanman ministries to discuss the strategy of expelling them."

Fazheng replied, "Then Mrs. Zhurong, but..."

"Sir, just speak up if you have something to say."

Fazheng immediately took out a letter from his pocket and said: "This is a handwritten letter from my king to the commander-in-chief as a token of the alliance. Could you please ask the commander-in-chief or his wife to write a letter for someone? As a token."

Meng Huo immediately said: "No problem, so I will write back a letter and attach something else." After that, he ordered to the left and right: "Come here, kill the envoy Zhu Luo, and hand over the head to the Fa. Sir, let him take it back and hand it over to King Liang. To prove that a certain is determined to be an alliance with King Liang!"

……

Three days later, Fazheng returned safely to Liang Jun's camp with the head and Meng Huo's letter, as well as three Nanman guides and seven scouts.After listening to Fazheng's narration, Feng Yu said with great joy: "This is a great achievement of filial piety. Lahal's Zhu Luo army is about to fall."

On the second day, Feng Yu gathered the five teams of mountain scouts he had already transferred, as well as the independent camp, under the command of Shen Dan and Liao Hua, who were familiar with mountain warfare.They brought enough rations with them, and under the leadership of the guide, they took a trail and entered the Nanzhong Mountains.

Chapter 228 Bodao decisive battle

Bodao City, the residence of General Zhu Luojun.Rahal had just finished his breakfast when soldiers rushed in to report: "Our envoy who visited Meng Huo a few days ago has lost contact. I'm afraid it's bad luck."

The corner of Rahal's mouth twitched, and he was silent for a long time before uttering a few words: "Send more people, check again!".

After a while, Dikal came straight to Rahal, and said in an eager tone: "Brother, the Liang army on the opposite side of the river has moved. At dawn, some Liang troops have sneaked across the Shu River and are on the way east of Bo Road [-] Camp here and there. Are we going to take them by surprise and catch them off guard? Drive them across the river."

Dikar thought that Rahal would hesitate, but Rahal responded immediately: "Yes, immediately mobilize soldiers and horses to drive them back."

"How many soldiers and horses will be dispatched?"

"Except for one infantry regiment and [-] Calabora barbarians stationed on Bodao, the rest of the soldiers and horses are all dispatched!"

Rahal looked at Dikal's puzzled eyes and explained: "Our plan to unite with Meng Huo may have failed, and Meng Huo may have formed an alliance with Feng Yu. If so, they can easily cut off our food roads and In the rear, we can only choose to fight quickly. In addition, in order to buy time for our army's possible retreat in the future, we cannot allow Liang Jun to set up camp in the south of the Shu River."

The sound of drums, cymbals and horns suddenly sounded in Bodao City and the two camps in the north and south.Zhu Luo's army began to assemble, and then three huge streams of people rushed to the plain south of Bodao City.

Two hours later, they finally gathered in an open area, and formed a huge army formation of nearly 3 people, and then pressed towards Liang Jun ten miles away.

After learning of the situation, more than ten thousand Liang troops who had just crossed the Shu River also gathered in formation during these two hours.These more than ten thousand Liang armies are composed of three legions: Zhao Yun, Dianqing, and Dianwei.

Zhao Yun rode his horse back and forth before and after the formation to check for omissions.Looking at the dense darkness, the soldiers who were connected to the sky and the earth, Zhao Yun's heart was also full of excitement.

In a single battle, tens of thousands of troops are invested on one side.Among the many military generals in the world, few people can have such an opportunity.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun met him.Not only Zhao Yun, Dian Wei Dianqing was also very excited.

"Report! General, the king is about to arrive here, and he wants to personally command the battle." A soldier came to report to Zhao Yun.

It turned out that Feng Yu, who was sitting in the camp on the other side of the river, heard that Zhu Luo's army had taken the initiative to attack Liang's army.It occurred to him that this might turn into a decisive battle.So he took the Gaoshun army across the Shu River, firstly to reinforce the crossing Liang army, and secondly, he was determined to personally command the battle.

By noon, the distance between the formations of the two sides was less than three hundred battles.Each other can see every move on the other side's position with the naked eye, and the hustle and bustle of the other side's position can also be heard clearly.

Looking at Liang Jun's army from the perspective of being in it, it is countless soldiers and horses connecting the sky and the earth.But in Feng Yu's system overlooking the scene, Liang Jun's army formation is nothing compared to Zhu Luo's army formation.The width of the latter's frontage exceeds the scope of the scene, at least six miles wide.

A total of nearly [-] soldiers from both sides will maintain their formation in the autumn sun, and each have their lunch.On Liang Jun's side, Feng Yu and a group of generals have not made any progress, and are still busy dispatching soldiers.From time to time, a cavalry commander rode out from the formation, some galloped towards the lower reaches of the Shu River, and some rushed to the temporary pier, boarded a ferry, and went to the other side of the river to report.

In the large formation of Zhu Luo's army, a cavalry ordered his soldiers to gallop under the canopy of Lahar, and reported: "General Qi, our scouts in Nanzhong have just found out that the envoy we sent has been captured by Meng Huo a few days ago. Beheaded. And the day before yesterday, a large number of Liang Guo soldiers entered the Nanzhong Mountains!"

With a livid face, Rahal nodded and said, "As expected." Then he said loudly to the surrounding generals including Dikal: "This battle is our decisive battle with Liang Jun! If we win If we succeed, we will be able to obtain fertile land and supreme glory, if we lose, the First Great Army may not exist."

Zhu Luo's generals all drew out their curved waist sabers, surrounded Rahal, and started yelling loudly.Rahal looked at the Liang army formation in the distance, swung his arms violently, and shouted: "Attack!"

……

Liang Jun's army is here.The generals surrounded Feng Yu and squatted on the sandy ground in the formation, making arrangements for the last meeting.Dian Wei came over with a cloth bag on his shoulders, dumped it on the ground, and poured out a pile of noodles and jerky.Then said:

"People are iron, but rice is steel. Your Majesty, you should eat the rice first."

Only then did everyone feel hungry, they grabbed the noodles, bread and jerky and filled their stomachs with cold water.

Before they had eaten for a quarter of an hour, they heard Zhu Luojun's drums and horns beating in unison.Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards Liang Jun with exaggerated steps.The sound of deliberately stomping on the ground resonated, shaking heaven and earth.

Feng Yuling said: "Get ready for battle!" All the generals threw away the bread and jerky in their hands one after another, and returned to their headquarters to prepare for the command to meet the enemy.

When Zhu Luo's army pressed close to Liang Jun's distance of nearly a hundred battles, he only heard a few shouts from behind Liang Jun.More than a thousand longbowmen lined up behind the formation bowed their waists and bent their arms, and drew their big bows that were as tall as a man.Heavy arrows roared and shot towards Zhu Luo's army formation.

Seeing this, several Lahal's personal soldiers immediately formed a circle in front of Lahal with their big shields upright, and only heard a bang, and a heavy arrow shot into one of the big shields, and the arrow clusters shot out from behind the shield. It popped out and shot into the shield soldier's arm, causing him to scream in pain.Another soldier stepped forward quickly.

There was another pop.Rahal saw with his own eyes that three battles away from him, a legion general was shot into the head from the eye socket by a heavy arrow and fell off his horse.

Under Liang Jun's long bow and heavy arrows, Zhu Luo's soldiers continued to be injured by arrows.However, this did not hinder the progress of Zhu Luo's army in the slightest.

Rahal scanned Liang Jun with his deep eyes, and suddenly he found a scarlet canopy. According to his common sense, there should be at least a duke under that canopy.In Liang Guo, only Feng Yu is above the Duke, which means that Feng Yu personally came to command the battle.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Rahal's mouth.He ordered in a cold voice: "Send the order, the whole army speeds up!"

The rhythm of the drums in Zhu Luo's army suddenly became faster, and Zhu Luo's soldiers also accelerated their pace, and the movement speed of Ruo Da's army suddenly increased a lot.

When Zhu Luo's army was still [-] battles away from Liang's army, the cavalry on both wings of Liang's army had spread out to both sides.To meet them will be the war elephant troops on the two wings of Zhu Luo's army.

Chapter 229 Barbed Tribulus

Rahal knew how powerful the opponent's "firearms" were.Drawing on previous experience and lessons, he only deployed more than 2000 war elephants at both ends and behind the formation, instead of placing the war elephants at the forefront for charging as in the past.

Otherwise, once the war elephants are frightened by the fire attack and turn around to attack their own army, it will cause huge losses and chaos.

Zhu Luo's formation was much wider than that of Liang's, so the war elephants at both ends were unlikely to be attacked by the opponent's "firearms".And it is also possible to detour to the side of the opponent's army and launch a fatal blow.

At this time, Liang Jun's iron cavalry had already rushed towards these war elephants.The war elephant regiments at both ends of Zhu Luo's army were Lahar's elite troops, and they were not afraid of the Liang army's iron cavalry. Groups of war elephants had already started running to confront the Liang army.

These battle elephants are arranged very densely.Liang Jun's cavalry cannot rely on their flexibility to pass through their gaps.Rahal seems to have seen the hope of victory.As long as the two-winged war elephants defeat the opponent's cavalry, the center formation can rely on its superiority in strength to overwhelm the opponent.

At both ends, the crossbowmen on the war elephants and Qingqi Feiyu had already opened their bows and shot at each other. The arrows crackled and shot on the bamboo armor of the war elephants, turning many war elephants into hedgehogs.But no war elephants were killed or injured.Because Liang Jun's Qingqi was mixed among the heavy cavalry, there were not many casualties from the arrows, less than a hundred people.

When the two sides approached thirty battles, these Liang army cavalry suddenly changed direction and galloped horizontally to both sides.They were throwing something to one side as they were running.

It was a special kind of caltrop --- a caltrop specially used against war elephants.The stubby iron thorns cannot penetrate the cuticle of the horseshoe, but can easily pierce the elephant's palm.Although the wound was not deep, it would drive the elephant mad with excruciating pain.

Rahal saw this in his eyes and immediately understood what the other party was going to do.But he has no time to recover.He could only continue to urge the infantry in the center formation to speed up their advance despite the opponent's long bow and arrow rain.

The generals of the war elephant regiment also understood and yelled loudly on the back of the elephants, trying to make all the war elephants stop immediately or turn around.But in such a short period of time, how could the military order be passed on immediately.

Except for a few war elephant soldiers who received military orders, or those who realized the danger stopped in time, the rest of the war elephants rushed into the barbed wire field that was as wide as ten battles.The caltrops immediately dug into their elephant hooves.

The war elephants screamed and began to run around. In the end, they all chose to run backwards, after all, they could be sure that there was no barbed wire on their way.The Zhu Luo soldiers on the back of the elephants could no longer control the crazy war elephants. Many people were thrown out of the saddle building and trampled into meatloaf by the crazy war elephants.

After running for a while, these frenzied war elephants rolled to the ground to reduce the pain on their paws.Zhu Luobing on the elephant's back was naturally thrown into a coma...

At this time, the Chinese infantry formations of the two sides were only fifty battles apart.With the sound of orders, Liang Jun's army suddenly changed its formation at an extremely fast speed.Evolved from the previous horizontal array to a hollow square array.Thousands of spear and shield soldiers shouted in unison, and the large shields in their hands were still spliced ​​into several shield walls.

While Liang Jun changed his formation, more than 50 fireballs flew out of the formation.They accurately landed in Zhu Luo's army's spear and shield formation.The reason why it is so accurate is because the landing point and distance have been calculated long ago.

After the naphtha bomb fell to the ground, the soaring fire rose up and turned more than a dozen Zhuluo soldiers into burning men.There were still many people running around in a panic to avoid the flames, and the Zhu Luo army's infantry suddenly became confused.

The Carabola light infantry gathered on the two wings of the Zhuluo army began to run.Sprinted to both sides of Liang Jun's hollow phalanx.The longbowmen in Liang Jun's phalanx began to shoot freely in all directions.The large and small ballistas also worked hard to continuously release stone bombs and incendiary bombs.

Zhu Luo's crossbowmen finally let the opponent come into their range, and they have been holding back their strength, and they poured arrows into the opponent's army like a torrential rain.With the sound of crackling arrows piercing the wood, Liang Jun's shield wall was filled with arrows.

Except for the gun shield soldiers in the front row, the gun shield soldiers and the supply soldiers in the rear all raised their shields above their heads.The longbowmen and crossbowmen in the center of the hollow phalanx also stopped shooting, crouching behind these pawns one after another, avoiding the arrows.

Even so, there were still people who were shot by arrows, but fortunately, most of the Liang soldiers were wearing ring armor, so the real casualties of the arrows accounted for only [-]% of the people who were shot.

The legion in front of the hollow phalanx is the Dianwei Legion.Hearing Dian Wei's loud shout, the flying halberd was thrown out of his hand, and he slashed at Zhu Luo's pawns who were nine battles away.Fifteen hundred spear-throwing shieldmen followed him and threw flying spears and javelins.

The flying spears that covered the sky and the sun "smashed" into Zhu Luo's army formation.Some flying spears splashed the debris from the opponent's wooden shield, and could not be shaken off after piercing through the shield.Some directly jumped over the shield, splashed a rain of blood, and sank into Zhu Luobing's body.After two rounds of javelin throwing, Zhu Luojun was killed and wounded.

But after they paid a lot of casualties, the military formation has also been put up, and the two sides are fighting shield to shield, spear to spear.

On the other three sides, Carabola light infantry and Zhuluo infantry had already posted up, fighting with Liang army soldiers across the shield wall.The crossbowmen behind them also shot cold arrows from the gap from time to time.

After a spear and shield soldier from the Liang Army stabbed down one of his opponents, he found that the enemy on the other side of the shield was too close. He was shot straight into the face by a sharp arrow.

When he fell down, Zhu Luobing on the opposite side took the opportunity to rush into Liang Jun's formation through this gap, but was immediately pierced through his body by the heavy arrow of Liang Jun's archer.

On the flank, a Liang Army spear and shield soldier had stabbed three Carabolans in a row, but unexpectedly, three spears and two steel knives attacked him at the same time.Although his ring armor blocked two of the steel knives and weakened the strength of one spear, he was fatally wounded by the other two.Another spear and shield soldier behind him quickly took his place.

When the battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch, only the sound of horns was heard.Liang Jun's hollow phalanx cracked four gaps, and two hundred giant ape warriors split into four groups, rushed out from the gaps, and instantly entered the already chaotic Zhu Luo soldiers.They are all trained soldiers in the Zhuyang Giant Ape Training Institute.

They wielded long knives and battle axes, and slashed and killed with thick heavy armor.Every giant ape warrior was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, clearing away the Zhu Luo soldiers around him in the phantom of the bloody wind and the blades.

In the distance, Liang Jun's iron cavalry, which had retreated to both sides, turned around again and went straight to a war elephant regiment and personal guard infantry regiment guarding Rahal.

At this time, if you look down on the wilderness from the sky.It means that the two sides are divided into two big groups, east and west, to fight together.In the middle of the two groups is the commander-in-chief of both sides.Whoever flees or is killed first is the loser of the battle.

Chapter 230 Withdraw!

Seeing the enemy's iron cavalry rushing in, the two reserve legions that stayed beside Lahal had already started to defend against the enemy.

More than a thousand spear and shield soldiers in the personal guard infantry regiment raised their large shields and built several shield walls around Rahal's car.Between the shield wall and the shield wall, there are thousands of spearmen standing behind the shield wall with a spear more than five feet long.

At the outermost edge, the five-foot short spears of the spear and shield soldiers and the long spears of the spearmen are intertwined, forming an extremely dense forest of spears.Nearly [-] war elephants from the war elephant regiment also spread out in all directions, cruising around the periphery of the phalanx.

Of the nearly [-] cavalry of the Liang army who rushed over, more than half belonged to Zhao Yun's army, and a small half belonged to Dianqing's army.Now it is Zhao Yun and Dian Qing who are personally leading them.

Although Liang Guo already had longbowmen, Dian Qing was still Liang Guo's unique sharpshooter.Not only because his archery skills are the highest, but more importantly - after countless days and nights of exploration and hard training, he has become the only archer who can accurately use a longbow on the saddle.

At this time, Liang Jun's war cavalry was already seventy battles away, Zhao Yun saw that the opponent had formed a tight defensive formation, and the war elephants also spread around.If the cavalry troops rushed in like this rashly, they would definitely not be able to get a bargain.He immediately ordered: "The light cavalry should not approach, the heavy cavalry should defeat the opponent's peripheral war elephants first."

The military orders were conveyed in the form of passwords, and under Dian Qing's leadership, Qingqi slowed down and went out, circling around eighty battles away from the Lahal's personal army.At the same time, the heavy cavalry had rushed into the defensive circle of the war elephant.

Lahal's nearly [-] war elephants are scattered within a radius of [-] battles centered on Lahar's car.Zhao Yun's heavy cavalry were within this range, chasing and confronting these war elephants.

A war elephant was running fast, and its goal was a war horse that was oncoming.In the high saddle with the battle on the elephant's back, the crossbowman bends his bow and draws the string, and shoots the arrow.A few arrows landed on the target, but all were knocked to the ground by heavy armor shells.

The spearmen in the saddle hold their spears tightly in their backhands, ready to stab the approaching enemy cavalry at any time.

When the war elephant was still five battles away from the opponent, the heavy cavalry of Liang Jun had already galloped away to one side.The speed of heavy riding horses is much higher than that of war elephants. Naturally, the latter cannot catch up with the opponent, and the elephant soldiers on the war elephants have to look for the next nearest target.

When the spearmen on the elephant's back swept their sights, they suddenly found the position behind the war elephant, and another Liang Jun heavy cavalry leaned up silently.

"Be careful! There are enemies behind!" He yelled loudly, and hurriedly turned around and stabbed the spear in his hand at the opponent.But it was too late, in this flash of lightning, the opponent's lance had penetrated the bamboo armor of the war elephant with the energy of the horse's galloping, and sank deeply into the elephant's body.

In desperation, his spear also missed its aim, and only knocked off the opponent's helmet.The war elephant let out a muffled groan, ran two steps forward, and then fell down.The three Zhu Luo soldiers in the saddle were all thrown out.A few Liangjun heavy cavalry rushed up quickly, beheading them all in an instant.

In another place, a Liang Jun heavy cavalry was quietly approaching a war elephant from behind.The Zhu Luo soldiers on the elephant had actually discovered the situation, but they remained calm.When the distance between the two sides was less than three battles, the war elephants began to turn around.

The heavy cavalry rider reacted immediately, and also began to turn the direction of the horse.But because the distance was too short, when the horses turned around in circles, the two sides were already close to the battle.The direction of the war elephant is roughly parallel to the direction of the war horse.

The spears on the war elephants rushed towards the heavy cavalry riders.The latter didn't have time to dodge, so he could only swing his lance to block, and swung the opponent's spear away with a bang.

But at this time, the war cavalry was already half the height of the war elephant. The war elephant swung its head, and the trunk swung towards the heavy cavalry. The rider subconsciously bowed his body, but he still couldn't dodge, and he was swept off the horse. , The war horse ran forward on its own.

The elephant soldier on the elephant drove the elephant to turn around, trying to trample the heavy cavalry rider who had fallen off the horse to death, but unexpectedly another heavy cavalry came up from the other side.

The rider had lost his pistol and only had a two-foot dagger in his hand.I saw him put his left hand on the edge of the saddle building, stood up and stood on the back of a two-meter-high giant horse, and was about to fall into the saddle building when he lifted his feet.

The crossbowman on the elephant tried to push him out, and he cut the crossbowman's throat with a short knife in his hand, and then jumped into the saddle.The Spearman quickly dropped his spear and rushed at him with his bare hands, but he stabbed him in the chest again.At the same moment, the elephant driver wrapped his arms around his neck, and he stabbed him in the head with his backhand...

In a short period of time, nearly [-] of Lahal's nearly [-] war elephants were wiped out by the heavy cavalry, and the rest had already fled in despair.Rahal's infantry phalanx could only stare anxiously, but there was nothing they could do.At most, they shoot some arrows from their bows, doing symbolic support.

Just after the battle elephant regiment was defeated, the Qingqi Feiyu led by Dian Qing surrounded Rahal like a pack of wolves, and the arrows shot at his phalanx of personal guards like locusts.

In the phalanx of Lahar's personal guards, arrows have been inserted all over the outer shield wall.Some of the arrows were thrown into the formation, and many spearmen without shields were shot and injured by the arrows.Finally, these spearmen were forced to crouch behind the spear and shield soldiers to avoid arrows.But in this way, the spear points on their spears can only point obliquely in the air.

Zhao Yun rode his horse to Dianqing's side, and whispered a few words in his ear amidst the noise.Dian Qing nodded, drew out a heavy arrow, and aimed at a spot in the square formation.

With the muffled sound of "bang", the heavy arrow pierced through a shield on the shield wall, and the Zhu Luo soldier behind the shield screamed. It turned out that the heavy arrow almost shot through the arm holding the shield.Naturally, the shield could not be held firmly, and a few sharp arrows took the opportunity to kill the Zhu Luo soldier.

A dozen or so heavy cavalry immediately charged into the gap with maces in their hands.The Zhuluo spearmen behind the gap had already been shot dead by dense arrows, and the surrounding spearmen also crouched on the ground to avoid Feiyu.

"Bang bang bang", as the heavy cavalry rushed into the gap with lightning speed, their five-foot-long mace clubs knocked down the shield soldiers on both sides of the gap.

The mace at the front swung away the spear blades pointing obliquely in the air, and then swept towards the Zhu Luo soldiers.The huge armored horse under the crotch knocked down a large number of Zhuluo soldiers.

In just half a moment, Liang Jun's heavy cavalry tore Rahal's personal guard phalanx to pieces at the cost of more than [-] cavalry casualties.The entire phalanx no longer exists, and all the soldiers are fighting on their own with the Liang army.Only Rahal had a hundred guards around him, closely guarding him.

"Brother, we have lost. Hurry up and order the withdrawal!" Dikar said to Rahal with a sad face.The latter's face was ashen, and he uttered a word unwillingly: "Withdraw!"
