Three Kingdoms Eschatology

With a loud bang, the underwater ram of the Chula warship rammed a Viking ship to pieces.A large amount of river water immediately poured into the open cabin of the Viking ship, and several Viking soldiers also rolled into the water.

However, another Viking warship approached the opposite side of the other side of the ship. The sailors in the Cholo battleship stretched out their long oars to hit and stab the Viking warship, trying to push the Viking ship away.

But the sailors on the Viking ship have already climbed onto the deck of the Chula battleship with agility.

More than a dozen Zhuro warriors just got out from the lower deck, and faced the Viking sailor warriors who rushed up.The Chula battleship was originally a sea-going ship, and in order to avoid being grounded, its crew was reduced as much as possible.Therefore, there are not many soldiers deployed, and the combat power of individual soldiers is far inferior to that of Viking sailors.It was soon wiped out by Viking sailors.

In the lower cabin of the Chuluo battleship, under the command of the general who shouted the chant, the sailors rowed the oars in unison.There was a sudden noise on the stairway, and a large group of Viking sailors rushed down.

The light of the knife flashed, and the head of the officer in charge of commanding the oarsmen fell to the deck in an instant.The sailors got up in a hurry, but the small space made them huddle together.More than a dozen Viking sailors rushed up, using big swords, iron axes, and spears, slashing and stabbing.In a few minutes, they were all beheaded.

Chapter 257 Fire Sea

On the Dulong River, a large number of Viking ships came.Several Chula battleships that were still trying to ram the Viking ship retreated in a panic.The Viking ships captured two Chulas at the cost of sinking three ships.

In a mansion in Mande City, Galawa looked at the generals under his command with a livid face.They are discussing the defense against Liang Jun.

This water conflict made Galava understand that it was impossible to use naval warships to restrain Viking warships on inland rivers.His attempt to block the Dulong River waterway also failed.

Galava said in a cold voice: "Everyone, the plan you proposed last time is not feasible. After this battle, we know that it is impossible for us to block the Inowady River by relying on the navy. Think again."

Everyone in the hall stared at each other, completely silent, and no one said a word for a long time.Galava slapped the table angrily and said: "You are all dumb, don't you all pretend to be generals? At the critical moment, you can't come up with a feasible idea? You all say it one by one, no matter whether it is a good idea or a bad idea. Tell me all about it, and if you don’t come up with any ideas, you’ll be whipped thirty times! If you come up with bad ideas, you’ll be whipped three times!”

When everyone heard this, their bodies shook.Galava pointed to the nearest person and said, "Gandar, it starts with you. Tell me!"

The man named Gandar blushed. After thinking for a long time, he stammered and said: "The Liang army is coming fiercely. Why don't we retreat our troops to Sawadi Port, where we can get immediate support from the local area, and we can also send the troops back to the port?" The enemy's supply line has been doubled, and the superior force can be gathered to fight against it, and the enemy will surely be defeated..."

Galawa waved his hand and said: "Bad idea. How many years have we worked hard to manage this Mande City from Lahal? There are 4 to [-] people here. Does it mean that you can leave if you go? Drag it on, hit three whip!"

"Grand Duke, please be merciful!... be merciful!" Several guards couldn't help but dragged Gandar down.

"Go ahead!"

"Grand Duke, then we can only concentrate our forces in Mande City to fight the Liang army to the death. I think all the garrisons on the Windsor River should be transferred here..."

Galava sneered and said: "You are talking nonsense. If you talk about it, you don't talk about it. I have already transferred the troops from the Windsor River so easily. What do you say now? How about the Windsor River Basin to Yinova? Dijiang, separated by hundreds of miles from the uninhabited land of mountains and forests, how to transfer them here? If they are asked to retreat to the seaside first, and then come here from the port of Sawady, it will take several months, how can there be time? Drag it on , ten lashes!"

"Grand Duke, hold your hand high, hold your hand high, even if my idea is bad, I should only give you three whips..."

Galava ignored him, and then asked downwards: "Next, come on!"...

All of a sudden, there was a crackling sound of the whip whipping the skin and flesh. After the beating was over, Galava refused to let them go, and continued to hold the meeting lying on the original seat.The whole room was full of moaning and moaning in pain.

"Grand Duke, in my opinion, we need to eat up the thousands of Liang troops in the northwest of the city before the main force of the Liang army reaches Mande City, so as to weaken the total strength of the enemy army in the decisive battle in the future. The second is to make the Windsor River Our army marched towards the Buwei City of Yongchang in the Han Dynasty, threatening the base camp of the Liang army, preventing them from concentrating on fighting on the front line. Forcing the opponent to stay behind with a large number of troops, it may even cut off their food supply."

After hearing this, Jialawa's eyes lit up, and he sighed: "Finally, I heard a feasible solution. Come here, let's enjoy a jar of fine wine and a dancer."

……

The night was deep, and there were rustling sounds in the forest not far from Liang Jun's camp.Then several figures sprang out from the forest and crawled quietly towards the camp.The reason why they used the climbing position was because the grass and vegetation around Liang Jun's camp had been completely cleared away.

All of a sudden, there was only the sound of chirping, and a person called out in a low voice: "Help...help me...".It turned out that a person accidentally climbed onto the black mud pit. He thought it was just an ordinary puddle, but when he felt that his whole body could not stop sinking down slowly, he realized something was wrong.

"Don't shout so loudly! You're going to kill us." A nearby leader crawled over, yelling in a low voice while grabbing his hand.The boss pulled it a few times but failed to pull it out, so he touched his waist with his right hand.

"Hey, relax, don't be nervous, I can pull you out..." There was a slight pop sound, the leader had already stabbed the dagger into the temple of the man in the quagmire, and the latter died without a word, and slowly sank into the quagmire among.

The rest of the people glanced at each other and continued to crawl towards Liang Jun's camp.As they approached, they smelled the aroma of wine, which was the wine that Liang Jun held to celebrate his victory in the Dulong River Battle.They dispersed again to make sure that there were no secret sentries of Liang Jun near the camp.The leader imitated a bird call, and blew twice into the dense forest.

After a while, layers upon layers of black shadows emerged from the forest, without lighting a torch, they rushed towards the camp.Unsurprisingly, several more people fell into the mud pit.

When they rushed to less than ten battles away from the camp, there was still no movement in the camp.They shouted in unison, the torches were lit, and they rushed towards Liang Jun's camp with a loud noise.

When they rushed into the camp, the leading general realized something was wrong.Liang Jun's lax defense was expected by them, but it was too lax, not even a sentinel at the gate of the camp!

"Stop, there must be something wrong here!" He yelled anxiously, hurriedly ordered the Zhu Luo soldiers to stop, and retreated outside the camp first.

But with so many soldiers, it will take some time for the order to be conveyed.At this moment, a large number of Zhu Luo soldiers had poured into the camp from the gates of several camps, and launched an attack on each camp.But when they opened the curtains, they found that the tent was empty.At the same time they smelled a strange smell.

At this time, dozens of large fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the dark night sky brightly.Accompanied by the fireball are rockets like flying fireflies.

Flames suddenly rose one after another in the camp.The big camp had long been filled with fire starters, and naphtha was sprinkled all over the place.It was the time of the flash, and the entire camp was suddenly engulfed in flames.

The nearly two thousand Zhuluo soldiers who entered the camp instantly turned into burning men, screaming miserably and running around before falling to the ground.

The thousand or so Zhu Luo soldiers outside the camp were stunned, their legs trembling.Surrounded by shouts like waves, thousands of Liang army infantry rushed out, throwing spears in their hands like torrential rain towards the thousand Zhu Luo soldiers.

In a short period of time, amidst the blood mist and screams and howls, more than half of Zhu Luo's army fell down in disorder.There is a very narrow strip of land between the dense forest and the waterway.

The remaining Zhu Luo soldiers fled southward like crazy along this passage.Unexpectedly, dozens of Viking ships were waiting for them on the water, and heavy arrows attacked them densely, beheading most of them...

Chapter 258 Waiting for the Rainy Season

Zhang Ren looked at the camp that had been burnt to ashes, and said cheerfully, "The military division is really accurate, knowing that the enemy army will come and attack the camp one day and one night."

It turned out that Zhuge Liang had warned Zhang Ren a long time ago, saying that sooner or later the Zhu Luo army in Mande City would sneak attack on the former army camp.Therefore, Zhang Ren's security around the camp was very strict, and he sent secret sentries to ambush outside Mande City to monitor the movements of Zhu Luo's army at all times.

Therefore, when Zhu Luojun lurked towards Liang Jun's camp, their whereabouts had long been discovered by Liang Jun's scouts in the dense forest.Zhang Ren followed his plan and set up an ambush to wait for the enemy, and in the end he hit the enemy with one blow.

A lieutenant next to him said regretfully: "It's a pity that the camp is so big. It took us a long time to build it."

Zhang Ren laughed and said: "It's worth changing two or three thousand soldiers in this camp! Pass my military order, the whole army boards the boat, brings enough boiling water, and spends the night on the boat!"

……

At dawn the next day, Zhang Ren opened his sleepy eyes and felt his bed shaking slightly.He woke up in shock, only then remembered that he was lying on the boat instead of the bed.

The sound of horns suddenly sounded next to his ears, and he sat up suddenly from the board of the boat, squinting his eyes and looking at the misty river in the distance.In the mist, there are layers of sails with red stripes on a white background, and on both sides of the Dulong River, two long rows of war elephants are marching one after another.

Zhang Ren shouted excitedly: "Get up, get up. Our main force is here!"

It was Zhuge Liang's main force who came, a total of 3000 people.Zhuge Liang met Zhang Ren on the shore, and said: "General Zhang Ren, it seems that you have gained a lot last night."

Zhang Rengong clasped his hands and said: "Thanks to the reminder from the Zhuge military division, Zhu Luofan's army indeed attacked my camp last night, and was ambushed by someone, annihilating about 3000 people. It is a pity that the camp was burned, and the army could not be let go." Rest now."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, we'd rather sweat a little more than bleed too much."

Seven days later, several new Liang army camps rose again on the banks of the Dulong River.

……

After a downpour, Mander City.Galawa stood on the head of the city full of water, looking at the Liang army phalanx that had just arrived below the city.That Liang Jun kept clamoring and shouting.

Even if he couldn't understand, he knew that it was Liang Jun's words of ridicule and insult.But Galava was not moved by it, and watched the enemy with cold eyes.

The four-foot-high arc-shaped square shield forms a tight shield wall, and sharp spears are exposed from the gaps in the shield.The ring armor reflects the sunlight into a bright piece.No one can look directly at it.There are still some elephant soldiers wandering on both sides of the phalanx.

A sharp sound suddenly came, and the guards on both sides in front of Galava raised their shields and quickly blocked Galava.There was a muffled sound of metal piercing into wood, and an arrow shot into the shield of his personal guard.

Galava was startled. He clearly saw that the crossbowmen behind the enemy army were still nearly a hundred battles away from the city wall. They were able to shoot their arrows so far, as high as four battles on the city wall.This range is too exaggerated.In fact, this is an ordinary arrow shot by a longbowman with a longbow, so it naturally has this range.

Jialawa snorted coldly, turned around and retreated into the city, thinking to himself: "In a few days, you will have good fruit to eat."

Jialawa was waiting for the Zhu Luo army along the Windsor River, that is, the Nu River, to invade Yongchang, hoping that they could break the Liang army's back and harass the Liang army's rear.Meanwhile, Jarawa is also waiting for the rainy season to come.At that time, the river surged, and the river became extremely turbulent, and it was difficult for Viking ships to navigate the upper waterway of the Dulong River.It is bound to bring great difficulties to Liang Jun's supply.

Under the city, Liang Jun shouted for a long time, but there was no movement in Mande City.Zhang Ren said to Zhuge Liang: "Military Master, I don't think this Jialawa will go out of the city to fight with our army, why don't we just attack by force."

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan twice, and said resolutely: "No, let's wait. This Mande City is located at the midpoint of the Dulong River, which serves as a link between the past and the future. This strong city and the Fanjun of Longwei Beach Like the castle, it is also what we need. After the occupation, a large number of soldiers and immigrants will need to be stationed again. So I don’t want to destroy it.”

"Does the military division still plan to use the airship to attack the city?"

"Of course not. The Mande City is surrounded by plains, and there are no peaks like the Longwei Beach Castle. And a skill cannot be reused. You see, there are huge crossbows and braziers on the top of the Mande City, which are obviously aimed at me. As soon as our airship comes, they will shoot fire spears with great crossbow power to burn our airship."

Zhang Ren asked suspiciously, "What is the strategy of the military adviser?"

Zhuge Liang heheed twice, and told Zhang Ren the method of siege.Zhang Ren clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to prepare according to the order of the military advisor."

Then he said: "If someone's prediction is not bad, this Galawa is waiting for the rainy season just like us. There will not be too much conflict between the two armies during this period, but we can't let them rest. , try to pull out the stronghold of the Zhu Luo army, and attack their transport team. Cut off the communication inside and outside the city."

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, a soldier came to report: "Qijun, the garrison of Yongchang County, found that the Zhu Luo soldiers in the lower reaches of the Nu River were gathering. They seem to be marching towards Yongchang."

Zhang Ren, who was next to him, was taken aback when he heard this.He looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "This is Zhu Luofan's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao! The entire lower reaches of the Nujiang River has a small half of Zhu Luo's army. At this time, behind our army, Yan Yan led more than a thousand soldiers to garrison at Longwei Beach. Yongchang Now only the reclamation soldiers and Meng Huo's barbarians are left in the county. Even if Zhu Luo can't attack Yongchang, it can cut off our food supply, shall we..."

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "No, if we divide our troops and go back to the defense, we will fall into Galava's plan. He will definitely attack with the tail, and our army's repeated tossing for thousands of miles will also make our army Soldiers are exhausted."

"But…"

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan, Shi Shiran interrupted Zhang Ren:

"General Zhang Ren, don't worry, someone has already expected this and arranged accordingly. Longwei Beach has stockpiled a large amount of food and supplies. There is no need to transport them from the rear for a period of time, and it is enough for our front line. That Longwei Beach is It was a strong fortress with more than a thousand elite soldiers from Yan Yan, and it was impossible for the Zhuluo people to attack it.

As for Buwei City, I believe that the reclamation soldiers and barbarians there can also defend against Zhu Luo's attack.More importantly, the news should have reached Yibin at the same time, and the king will not sit idly by. "

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was so confident, Zhang Ren felt relieved, bid farewell to Zhuge Liang, and went to arrange the soldiers to prepare according to plan.

……

At this time, in the southeast of Buwei City, in the area about [-] miles wide between the Nujiang River and the Dulong River, a large number of Zhu Luofan's troops appeared.War elephants, infantry, and flags all over the place, meandering for several miles, gradually approached the city of Buwei.

Chapter 259 The Enemy of the Nu River

Zhu Luojun attacked Yongchang again along the Nujiang River, and Zhang Biao, the prefect of Liang State in Buwei City, had already received the scout letter.

At this time, Buwei closed the city gates day and night, and at the same time, according to Zhuge Liang's previous instructions, also interrupted the logistics transportation to Longwei Beach.However, the materials and food hoarded in Longwei Beach Castle are enough to cover all the Liang troops along the Dulong River for four months.

The Zhu Luo army who came had [-] infantry and [-] war elephants.They also set up a big camp on the banks of the Nujiang River.Use the Nu River waterway as the food channel, and get supplies from the rear.

On this day, outside the city of Buwei, the drums and trumpets rang out, and a large number of Zhu Luo troops formed an attack formation outside the city of Buwei. Following the order of the general Su Moda, hundreds of manpower trebuchets lined up began to attack Buwei. Weicheng continued to throw stones from the top of the city.

The bombardment lasted for a whole morning, only the skin of the city wall was cracked, stones and bricks were cracked, and earth and wood were splashed.A row of battlement walls were smashed to pieces.It is impossible for this trebuchet to destroy the city walls, but the purpose of Su Moda was to destroy these walls, because they can provide cover for the defenders.

There was another rush of drums, and Zhu Luo's army slowly advanced forward. When approaching the city wall, the shield wall stood up, and the arrows behind the formation shot towards the city like locusts.

At this time, the Liang Jun reclamation infantry had nowhere to hide.He had no choice but to retreat to the back edge of the city wall, crouch down as hard as he could, and hold up his shield to avoid the arrows.

Outside the city wall, Zhu Luojun's specially made lightweight flying ladders were erected like a forest, directly across the moat and onto the city edge.Zhu Luo soldiers rushed in like a torrent, and then quickly climbed to the top of the city along dozens of flying ladders.

At the same time, Zhu Luo's crossbowmen showed no sign of stopping, and the dense arrows continued to shoot towards the city.If Liang Jun's infantry is not careful, they are in danger of being shot by arrows.

Several Zhu Luo soldiers who rushed to the front climbed up to the top of the city. When they protruded half of their bodies from the top of the city, the bow shooting under the city stopped.At the same time, Liang Jun's spearmen hiding behind the shields of their companions stabbed their spears at each other.Three of the Zhu Luo soldiers were immediately stabbed seven or eight times.

The others exhausted all their strength and jumped onto the top of the wall in one leap.One of them saw the long spear stabbing him, and grabbed the opponent's gun with his hand.Then he pushed the gun barrel aside, but didn't let go, and slid along the gun barrel in front of the opponent, stabbing into the opponent's abdominal cavity with a sharp knife.

But he immediately felt a sharp pain in his right chest, and it was another Liang Army reclamation soldier who stabbed his right rib with a dagger.Immediately afterwards, the reclamation soldier was knocked down to the city by another Zhu Luo soldier and fell to his death on the spot.

All of a sudden, the sound of fighting on the top of the city was loud, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.In the end, Zhu Luojun occupied a section of the city at the cost of considerable casualties.

When they were about to attack both sides and the inside of the city along the corridor at the head of the city, the spearmen of the Liang army on the rest of the city wall launched a counterattack.Two gun forests as dense as pine needles came towards Zhu Luo's army along the city wall.

Seeing this, the crossbowmen of the Zhu Luo Army under the city shot at them with all their might, but the arms of the crossbowmen were all sore and numb at this moment, the rate of fire was already very slow, and their strength was also compromised.Therefore, although it caused a lot of casualties to Liang Jun's spearmen, it failed to stop Liang Jun's counterattack.

Two dense forests of long spears stabbed repeatedly at the Zhu Luo soldiers in the middle. Naturally, the Zhu Luo stragglers at the top of the city couldn't resist, and were driven down by the opponent after a while.

At this time, at the head of the city and at the foot of the city, the moat was filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides.The corner of Su Moda's mouth twitched twice, and reluctantly ordered: "Retreat!", and the cymbal sound of Zhu Luo's retreat sounded...

Knowing that Buwei City was unlikely to be conquered, Su Moda followed Galawa's established strategy to monitor Buwei City while using elephant cavalry to cruise between Buwei and Longwei Beach, in an attempt to cut off the Liang army's southern army. Logistical supplies for conscripts.

But for many days in a row, Su Moda did not see any movement in Buwei City, nor did he see Liang Jun escorting luggage coming from other directions.The three waves of scouts who went to Longwei Beach to investigate never returned.

These circumstances made Su Moda terrified and puzzled, and Su Moda decided to personally inquire about the military situation in Longwei Beach.

As a general, it is really absurd to personally investigate the enemy's situation and put it on other people.But it was normal for Su Moda.Su Moda was originally a scout, and was promoted to the general of the small army because of his meritorious service. He often did things to spy on the enemy himself.

This time, Su Moda took thirty of his cronies and headed for Longwei Beach in light clothes.After a day and night of rushing, they came to Longwei Beach.

Dozens of people slept in the woods near the castle for two hours. After a short rest, they went to the Dulong River next to the castle.But none of them knew that although the smell of mosquito repellent grass burned while sleeping drove away mosquitoes, it also attracted the hunting dogs of Liang Jun's scouts.

Su Moda's thirty personal soldiers were divided into three groups, and went to three locations to investigate the situation according to his arrangement.He personally led a small group of people to sneak to the bank of the Dulong River, and lay down on a boulder six or seven feet high.Here you can not only overlook the castle, but also see the situation of the Dulong River.

At this time, when the sun was rising, Su Moda saw with his own eyes on the Dulong River, the unique Viking ships of the Liang Army coming in and out of the castle pier. It was obvious that there were a lot of supplies in the center of Longweitan Castle.

Seeing these scenes, Su Moda suddenly realized, and said to himself: "No wonder Liang Jun directly stopped the transport of luggage."

Suddenly there was an eagle's howl in the sky, and Su Moda looked up into the sky, only to see two black shadows falling vertically from the sky and rushing straight towards him.Then there was a thumping sound and two screams, and the two cronies beside Su Moda covered their faces and wailed endlessly.Blood oozed from their fingers.

"Not good! We have been discovered!" Su Moda reacted immediately, and was about to flee with his bodyguards. Arrows shot at them, and three more of Sumoda's bodyguards fell to the ground.When the other two fled, they panicked and fell under the boulder and fell to their deaths.

When Su Moda ran down the boulder and escaped dozens of battles away, there were only two cronies left by his side.But Liang Jun was still chasing him closely, and Su Moda didn't know how many people were chasing him, but he heard a lot of dogs barking.

Su Moda is known as the Scud in the Zhu Luo army.At that moment, as soon as he raised his breath, his legs flew like hot wheels, leaving his two bodyguards far behind.In this way, he ran for nearly a hundred battles, and the front was where they hid the elephant mounts.

Su Moda climbed onto the elephant three times, five times and two times, and said to the soldiers driving the elephant: "Go!" Immediately, the elephant moved its four legs and ran at the fastest speed.At this time, Su Moda raised the heart in his throat and finally put it back.

But before they had gone dozens of battles away, Su Moda saw three "big cats" chasing him like flying arrows.

"Hurry up, speed up!" Before Su Moda could finish speaking, several cheetahs pounced on the elephant's back, one bit off the neck of the elephant soldier, and the other two attacked Su Moda...

Chapter 260 Extinction

When Yan Yan rode his horse galloping towards him, the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom formed a group and immediately made way for him.Yan Yan took a closer look and saw that there were two people lying on the ground, one of which had been bitten off by a cheetah.Not far away, there is still a captured war elephant.
