Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Chapter 247 Annihilation

After the soldiers of the Liang Army finished shooting two rounds of flying spears, the remaining Zhu Luo elite soldiers still rushed forward fearlessly.Hearing Liang Jun's team leader shouting orders, such as forest spears stretched out from behind the shield wall full of arrows.

A Zhu Luo soldier turned over the rejecting horse, screaming loudly, forced the spear in front of him with the small shield in his hand, and squeezed towards the shield wall, the steel knife in his hand was raised high.Suddenly, a spear from the second row pierced his eye socket, and the spear blade pierced his skull.

Just as his body was limp on the ground, a Zhu Luo soldier behind stepped on his body and rushed up.With two puffs, two spears from the first row pierced his chest and lower abdomen respectively.

No.3 Zhu Luobing pushed the body pierced by the spear, used it as a cover, and threw himself in front of the shield wall, slashing at Liang Bing behind the shield wall with the steel knife in his hand.

The sharp blade slashed on the opponent's shoulder armor, and the ring armor was cut and turned over. The blade stopped when it cut to the shoulder blade.If there is no armor to block this knife, the whole arm may be cut off.When this Zhu Luo soldier was about to make a second cut, Liang Jun's second row of spears attacked and directly stabbed him in the chest.

As more and more Zhu Luo's elite soldiers squeezed in front of the shield wall, the spears of Liang Jun soldiers in the first row lost their effect.The Zhu Luo soldiers behind moved the horses away and placed them vertically to clear the way for the follow-up soldiers.

Soldiers on both sides stabbed and slashed at each other across the shield wall. It often happened that Liang Jun's soldiers stabbed the first knife into the opponent's chest, and the opponent simultaneously chopped the steel knife into Liang Jun's head, neck and shoulder blades.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the follow-up troops of Zhu Luo's army came rolling in, rushing down the mountain like a torrent.Liang Jun's team leader also showed panic and anxiety on his face.If the reinforcements still don't arrive at this time, they won't be able to stop such a torrent of people.

At this critical moment, dense heavy arrows roared through the air.A sharp arrow pierced Zhu Luojun's body mercilessly.It turned out that two teams of archers of Liang Jun came to support.

Immediately afterwards, two hundred heavy cavalry galloped forward, forming ten or twenty rows of cavalry, roaring past between the line of defense and the foot of the mountain.Wherever they passed, those Zhu Luo soldiers who were rushing towards the shield wall were staggered, bloody and bloody.

On the hillside, Gan Moluo built a pergola with his hands and observed the enemy's situation around him.He found that not far from the battle, there was another cavalry of Liang Jun with more than a thousand riders and a hundred war elephants, rushing here.

Gan Moluo knew that if he insisted on breaking out of the siege at this time, his entire army might be wiped out.Even if he let some of his thousands of infantry break through at the cost of casualties, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the opponent's cavalry and war elephants.

The cymbals of Zhu Luo's army's withdrawal still sounded, and the Zhu Luo soldiers who failed to break through the opponent's line of defense retreated to Bawang Ridge one after another.Nearly [-] corpses were dumped at the foot of the mountain.

Unable to break through the siege, Gan Moluo had no choice but to order the soldiers to make bamboo rafts, and pin their last hope on the cave that has not been completely sealed.

On the second day, Zhu Luo's soldiers almost cut down the bamboo forest on the mountain, and set up hundreds of small bamboo rafts.Led by the two scouts who tried to walk through this "waterway" before, the Zhu Luo soldiers first went down to the depths of the cave, and then threw the bamboo rafts into the water one by one.

Each raft carries five or six Zhuluo soldiers, trembling and leisurely drifting down the "waterway" to the "downstream".When they walked to the water pool, they found that the water level here had almost risen to the top of the cave.They had to bow their bodies and carefully let the small bamboo raft pass between the stalactites.

Some rafts capsized accidentally, and Zhu Luobing who fell into the water desperately called for help.But such a narrow space is difficult to rescue, not to mention that the bamboo raft is "overloaded" and unstable at all, and may capsize at any time.

In the beginning, some people ventured to rescue them, but they capsized their own rafts.In the end, no one dared to save, and the drowning person could only save himself.

In the faint light of the torches, people floating on the water and hugging the bamboo raft could be seen from time to time.They tried to re-board the bamboo raft, but it was often after repeated failures that several people were able to sit firmly on the bamboo raft again.

Zhu Luofan's army moved in the dark for five hours, and the bamboo raft in front finally approached the exit of the cave.They could already hear the murmur of running water in the open space.

When they just emerged from a hole that was only seven feet wide and five feet high.In the darkness, I heard the sound of arrows piercing through the sky.

Liang Jun, who had been waiting here for a long time, killed them with his longbow effortlessly.The people on the bamboo raft screamed and fell into the water.The people behind knew it was not good when they heard it, and Gan Moluo's heart was like sinking into an ice cave.

It's too late for Gan Moluo to regret it now, if he turns around and returns now.Don't even think about the exit at the other end, you know that Liang Jun has already blocked it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Rush out, I will rush out even if I die!" But it is easy to say, how can it be realized.Such a small exit, but hundreds of Liang troops in the cave outside sealed it firmly.

Zhu Luo's soldiers jumped off the bamboo raft and tried to rush out through the water, but the random arrows immediately made them lie dead on the spot.Even if there are occasional ones who can rush out of the hole, they will be immediately stabbed into a honeycomb by the spearmen surrounding the hole.The screams and wailing kept echoing in the cave.

Gan Moluo shouted loudly again, "If we don't rush out, we will all die in this cave. It's dead anyway, come with me!"

After finishing speaking, Gan Moluo also jumped into the water, and personally led the soldiers to remove the bamboo raft and stand aside.A large group of people assembled first, and then rushed out of the cave, trying to break through Liang Jun's blockade with a sea of ​​people.

This trick really had some effect. Liang Jun's arrows shot down a layer of Zhu Luo soldiers, and the rear layer of Zhu Luo soldiers rushed up stepping on the corpses of the soldiers in front.Almost every spear of Liang Jun's gun and shield soldiers stuck a corpse, and some even penetrated two corpses.They had no choice but to give up their spears and guns and switch to fighting with knives.

Facing the last stand, like the surging crowd of Zhu Luo, the Liang Jun army formation that had blocked the entrance of the cave also loosened.Suddenly, there was a loud shout: "Get out of the way!", and a gap was opened in Liang Junjun's formation.

A fire dragon spewed into the cave immediately, and the fire quickly blocked the entire cave.This is Liang Jun's new weapon - fierce fire cabinet.In fact, the container filled with naphtha is equipped with a blower-like device.

The Zhu Luo soldiers shrouded in the flames immediately turned into fire men, and they fell into the water without even wailing.The fire lasted for more than ten breaths.It even steamed the water.

The scalding steam surged outward, and even the soldiers of the Liang Army in the front were slightly scalded.Kamala was also among those burned...

Chapter 248

Deep in the Daheishan Karst Cave.Inside the cave, Zhu Luobing yelled loudly with a crying voice, and he didn't know what they were talking to Liang Bing outside.

"Maybe he wants to surrender to us." Liang Bing, who was guarding outside, guessed.As soon as a general of the Liang army called the interpreter for the army, a Zhu Luo soldier in upper body was holding a white flag, wading through the water, and came out of the cave tremblingly.

Because he was the only one, the Liang soldiers gathered at the exit of the cave didn't make a move.

General Liang Jun gave instructions to the barbarian interpreter, "Tell them to return to Bawangling and surrender to our army there. We will not surrender here."

Liang Jun asked these Zhuluo soldiers to return to Bawangling and surrender because Dianwei's main force was ambushing "struggle aid" near the pontoon bridge, and there were no extra troops to surrender to them.

A few hours later, in the karst cave of Bawangling, the Zhu Luo soldiers who had thrown away their weapons filed out with their hands raised, and were escorted down the mountain by Liang Jun.They will be sent to Gufu prisoner-of-war camp for intensive care.

Gao Shun and Meng Huo continued to march towards Dahei Mountain, sweeping away the three isolated peaks where Zhu Luo's army was stationed along the way.These Zhu Luo soldiers had already fled before Liang Jun arrived.

Until the two armies of Gaoshun and Menghuo arrived at the pontoon bridge beside the Canglan River, Dianwei still did not wait for the Zhuluo reinforcements sent by Jialawa.

In fact, at this time, Galawa was as frightened as a bird after learning that he had turned against the trap of the Zhongliang Army.He didn't have the guts to send reinforcements, and he didn't even think about taking back the exit of the Daheishan karst cave, so as to relieve the siege of the nearly ten thousand Zhuluo army.

Instead, he dispatched troops to urgently transfer troops from Hongshadiwa to Yongchang.

But now Galava doesn't actually have many troops to adjust.The establishment of the Zhuluo Army is 4. In the previous Dashekou and Qianzhuyuan Bawangling battles, Galawa lost more than 1 troops.

Now, there are more than [-] troops guarding Buwei City and its surrounding areas.There are only about [-] garrison troops left in Hongshawadi.Most of the previous Zhurominfu and Kalabola barbarians were taken away by Rahal.

……

In the general's mansion in Buwei City, Yongchang County.Galava paced back and forth on the bluestone floor of the house.From time to time, he walked to the big table and looked worriedly at the map spread on the table.

When Chola King Karikala ordered him to replace Rahal, he was full of joy and thought it was an opportunity.At that time, he believed that Rahal's fiasco was only caused by his aggressiveness and greed.Otherwise, how could a small kingdom with a population of only a few hundred thousand be defeated.

He believes that as long as he works step by step, based on Hongshawadi in Yongchang County, he will slowly manage and accumulate population.When the strength grows, it will surely sweep the entire Liang Kingdom and even the hinterland of the Han Empire.He didn't even think that Feng Yu would take the initiative to attack Yongchang.

As a result, Feng Yu not only came.Moreover, in the case of his own heavy defense, the strength of more than [-] troops hit the banks of the Nu River in just two or three months.

During this period, Jialawa has learned all kinds of legends about Liang Bing, whether true or false, from the mouths of those Zhuluo remnant soldiers who fled.Including how elite Liang Bing is, how elusive combat is, how sophisticated the equipment is, and so on.It is said that Liang Bing can even have war equipment that flies into the sky.

This surprised Galawa even more.If he could make his own decisions, he would now give up Yongchang and retreat to Hongshawadi.But if he did this, King Chola Karikala would definitely not be able to spare him, and the charge of fearing the enemy and war would not escape him.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.

Buwei City is between the Nu River and the Dulong River.The city is located on a flat plateau, the terrain is flat, and there is almost no danger to defend.Galava convened his generals to discuss repeatedly, and finally worked out a barely feasible defense plan.

At this time, Galava came to the table again, glanced at the map, and was still in a panic...

……

Three days later, Liang Jun's Southern Expedition Army, which had crossed the Canglan River, had already drunk the Nujiang River.At this time, it is the end of the first month of the sixth year of Jian'an.

The south bank of the Nujiang River is a row of small hills, and there is a gap about [-] miles wide facing Buwei City.

Galawa has set up camp here and set up an army formation, trying to prevent Liang Jun from crossing the river.Because once Liang Jun crossed the Nu River from here, on the relatively flat plateau, Liang Jun's iron cavalry is very suitable to play its own advantages.

Liang Jun also camped on the north bank of the Nujiang River and faced him across the river.Gao Shun, Zhuge Liang, and Dian Wei rode their horses to the bank of the Nu River, looking at Zhu Luo's army on the other side.

At present, Liang Jun's battle line has been stretched very long, and it is nearly [-] miles away from Gufu on the Jinsha River.

With such a long front, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the food road and increase the transportation capacity of the food road, the barbarians and most of the war elephants of the Menghuo Department devoted themselves to ensuring the food road and escorting the food.So Meng Huo will not participate in the final battle.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the Taotao Nujiang River and said to the other two: "Although the Nujiang River is not wide, the water is fast flowing. It is impossible for us to strengthen the Nujiang River when the opposite bank is heavily defended."

Dian Wei casually said: "What's the difficulty? We don't want to cross the river here, but find another place to cross the river."

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "No way, the other side of the Nujiang River is mostly steep. Except for this place, to find a place suitable for crossing the river, you have to detour at least a hundred miles. It's a trivial matter to take such a long way. I'm afraid our main force will go around. Zhu Luo's army on the other side can take advantage of the gap and cross the river to attack the convoy behind me."

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement with Gao Shun's point of view, and then said: "However, we can choose a light soldier to cross the river upstream or downstream, and then attack Zhu Luofan soldiers from the side and rear. The main force in the front will take this opportunity to forcefully cross the Nu River .”

After pondering for a while, he continued: "However, this light army goes deep into the enemy's hinterland alone, and there are many dangers. It is difficult for those who are not brave and good at fighting."

Dian Wei immediately followed Zhuge Liang's words and said, "Hey, let someone accept this order and promise to complete this matter."

Gao Shun immediately said: "Then there is brother Lao Dianwei. After you take your army's light and heavy cavalry battalion, after crossing the Nujiang River, you need to hide by day and night to avoid being discovered by the other party's scouts. We agreed that at dawn the day after tomorrow, you will meet with us." The army launched an attack from behind. Our main force took the opportunity to forcefully cross the Nu River."

Dian Wei immediately replied, "It's not a big problem. It's just that how can someone cross the Nu River without a heavy army. There seems to be no boatman in this river."

Gao Shun couldn't remember what to do after hearing Dian Wei's words.The supply battalion was much slower than the cavalry marching. If Dian Wei were to take the supply battalion with him, it would be a waste of time.Moreover, carrying the baggage battalion is also a burden, and it is also very dangerous for the baggage battalion to return alone.He was a little bit tongue-tied and said, "This..."

Gao Shun turned his eyes to Zhuge Liang for help.

Chapter 249 Restoration of Han soil

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "We still have the hundred war elephants left by Meng Huo here to build a pontoon bridge. Let them go with General Dianwei. After Dianwei has crossed the Nu River, they will just go back the same way. "

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Gao Shunwei wondered: "Then if these war elephant soldiers can't come back, what about the pontoon bridge for the main force to cross the river? If we use the traditional method of building a pontoon bridge with heavy soldiers, it may be too late. After all, the harassment of the Dianwei brothers is only Can hold them back for a while."

It's not surprising that Gao Shun had such doubts. The purpose of keeping these war elephants was to quickly build bridges.

Zhuge Liang Shi Ran said: "General Gao Shun, I have other methods for the main force to cross the river, which is more convenient than the elephant pontoon bridge."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Gao Shun nodded reassuringly. The impetuous Dian Wei had already left on his horse and went to gather troops and horses to make preparations.

……

At a place called Laohudu on the upper reaches of the Nujiang River, a column of soldiers and horses still appeared in the wasteland.This troop has war cavalry with shiny fur, horses and horses with armor, giant heavy cavalry that is as tall as close combat, and war elephants that are taller than battle.

This is naturally Dian Wei's partial division to attack Fanjun.Dian Wei looked at the opposite river beach and shouted, "Finally found a place where we can cross the river."

After a while, more than a hundred war elephants lined up and went down into the water one after another, lined up head to head in two rows.The elephant soldiers also covered the back of the elephant with large pieces of bamboo strips carried by the elephant to form a bridge deck.

In this way, a "bridge" appeared over the Nu River.Dian Wei's cavalry immediately filed past and crossed the Nu River.Then the war elephants headed back to the north bank of the Nujiang River again, and returned to the starting point.

……

At dawn three days later, the darkest hour in the sky.On the south bank of the Nu River, some soldiers walked and patrolled along the river bank in groups of several.Suddenly they heard the sound of plopping in the river, and they quickly threw torches towards the river. In the fleeting light of the fire, they saw black shadows in the river.

It was Liang Jun laying a new type of pontoon bridge in the Nu River.This is what Zhuge Liang ordered the craftsmen to rush out in the past few days.The entire pontoon bridge is like a rolling curtain. The "curtain" is made up of bamboo tubes about a battle long, and on both sides of the "curtain" are wooden barrels with both ends sealed.

I saw that a group of soldiers from the Liang Army quickly unfolded the curtains on the water, and every time they opened a certain distance, they dropped an anchor to fix them.Ten pontoon bridges are launched on the river at the same time.

On the south bank, the warning drums of the Zhu Luo army's sentries suddenly sounded.Zhu Luo soldiers poured out from the barracks one after another, gathering more and more.All kinds of arms were mixed together in a mess, and the army formation was arranged amidst the general's orders and the sound of drums.Only the elephant soldiers in the big camp hadn't left the camp yet, they were in a hurry to put on bamboo armor for the elephants.

"The crossbowmen go forward first and shoot the enemy soldiers," Galava, who was personally commanding in the formation, ordered.After a while, a large group of crossbowmen rushed to the bank of the river and shot at Liang Jun who was laying the pontoon bridge.

At this moment, a sound like thunder in summer came from the northwest.The generals of Zhu Luo's army knew it was a large cavalry attack as soon as they heard it, their faces were all pale, and their orders were even more urgent.

The general of the cavalry first led their war cavalry away from the crowd, and greeted them northwest.Before they could take two steps, Liang Jun Qingqi Feiyu's random arrows came like a shower.Zhu Luo's army, which was still in formation, became confused again, and people continued to be shot and fell to the ground.

At this time, the rising sun in the east has risen, and the sky is bright.Qingqi Feiyu shot sharp arrows at the opponent one after another with precision.When the Zhu Luo army cavalry approached them, they immediately rode their horses and ran back for a certain distance, shooting back while running.

Like jujube trees hit by bamboo poles in autumn, Zhuluo cavalrymen were shot off their horses by sharp arrows.Finally, the heavy cavalry went up to meet them.Zhu Luojun's cavalry regiment has been severely damaged by Liang Jun's cavalry and shooting.After a round of confrontation, they were completely defeated.The heavy cavalry continued to rush towards Zhu Luo's army formation that had not yet been lined up.

On the bank of the river, there were densely packed Zhuluo soldiers, shooting at the river with concentration.Many Liang Jun soldiers who were laying the pontoon bridge were shot by arrows and fell into the water.

It is impossible for these soldiers to work on the water wearing leather armor, and the enemy's arrows can easily shoot through their bodies.Whenever a soldier was hit by an arrow and fell into the water, a Liang army soldier on the shore immediately rushed forward to replace him.

In this way, Liang Jun soldiers extended the pontoon bridge to the south bank of the Nu River.

The crossbowmen on the farthest edge suddenly heard the thunderous sound of galloping horses.Turning his head, he was shocked and paled, and hurriedly spread his legs and ran.But before it was too late, with the loud bang bang, these crossbowmen were either knocked to the ground by the mace, or were knocked into the air by the giant horse.

Like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, the thousand cavalry pushed away the Zhu Luo crossbowmen gathered on the south bank of the Nu River.The land by the shore was littered with corpses, and there were broken limbs and arms everywhere.

Many crossbowmen jumped out of their wits and jumped into the Nu River to avoid the heavy cavalry's attack. They were swept away by the rushing water in no time.

On the other side, Qingqi Feiyu was galloping around the Zhu Luo army formation that had not yet been lined up, and kept shooting arrows at a distance of thirty battles.When Zhu Luo's stragglers rushed out of the formation, they ran away like a gust of wind.

Galava was still hoarse, and commanded angrily: "Idiots, they are all idiots, don't run around! Leave them alone, line up and form a shield wall. Line up the anti-cavalry gun array!" But at this time Zhu Luo's army formation is so chaotic, it is not a matter of a moment for nearly ten thousand Zhu Luo soldiers and generals to get his military order.

At this time, the heavy cavalry began to rush towards Zhu Luo's army formation in a conical formation. They cut through the left wing of the army formation in an instant, turned around a hundred battles behind the formation, and rushed towards Zhu Luo's army formation again.

Almost at the same time, Liang Jun's ten pontoon bridges have also been set up.The Liang army soldiers on the north bank were like ten torrents, arranged in a strict formation, and quickly advanced to the south bank along the pontoon bridge.

"Quickly, advance the whole army and stop them!" Galava shouted.However, at this time, the heavy cavalry chiseled into Zhu Luo's army formation from the rear, and the Qing cavalry continued to surround and shoot.The entire military formation was in chaos, how could his military orders be passed on.

Not long after, the Liang army at the forefront had crossed the Nu River, lined up in several rows on the south bank, and attacked Zhu Luo's army with shields and guns.When they were separated by more than a dozen battles, the spears in their hands were thrown towards Zhu Luo's army like a torrential rain.

At this time, Zhu Luo's soldiers had already begun to collapse, and more and more soldiers began to break away from the army formation and run backwards.Just at this time, Galava's war elephant group rushed out of the camp and collided with the retreating soldiers.

A large number of arrows and rockets rushed forward, and these heavy arrows were shot by the archers of Army Commander Liang.These heavy arrows can even pierce the bamboo armor on a war elephant.Many war elephants were frightened and frantic because of the pain and the stimulation of the fire, and rushed wildly.

Many rout soldiers were knocked to the ground by running elephants, and then trampled to death.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Luo's army completely collapsed, and Liang Jun poured into Zhu Luo's camp like a tide.Miaomiao's Zhu Luo army in the city did not make any more resistance, and fled out of the south gate.Liang Jun pursued all the way to the bank of the Dulong River before stopping.

At this moment, in a sense, Liang Jun has completely recovered all the fallen Han lands.

Chapter 250 The Gold Coin of the Destroyed Portrait

In the sixth year of Jian'an, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.The old urban area of ​​Yibin City has been completely renovated, and it is connected with the systematically newly built new urban area, which is quite large-scale.It is comparable to the urban climate of Chang'an, Luoyang.

At this time, Feng Yu had already moved the capital of Liang State here.The ministers and generals of Liang State were very puzzled by this.In their eyes, the most suitable capital in Liang State should be Chang'an, because it used to be the former capital of the Han Dynasty.

Even if the suspicion of overreaching is considered, Chengdu should be the new capital.Chengdu is not to mention the old state of Shu, and it can be regarded as the heart of Liang State geographically.

Now Feng Yu has to move from Chengdu to Yibin again, although Yibin has a lot of basic city construction.But this is a remote place after all, not far to the south is the great mountain of Nanzhong, the smoky forest.It is nearly two thousand miles away from the northern border city of Liang State, and it is also thousands of miles away from Zhuyang, the former capital of Liang State.

Feng Yu naturally understood the confusion of the officials, and explained to them: "Yibin will become the most prosperous city in the entire Han Dynasty in the future. All the property in the world will be traded here."
