It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages
Chapter 135 The Emperor Nanshou, the Emperor's End, Survival in Desperate Situation!
Chapter 135 The Emperor Nanshou, the Emperor's End, Survival in Desperate Situation!
The Han army is about to go deep into Changshan to pursue the rioting South Vietnamese aborigines.
But the camp was not in a hurry to dismantle it, and some troops were left to guard it.
After all, it is not known how long it will take to go deep into Changshan. With such a stronghold, it is extremely convenient for both supplies and rest.
Of the 1000 South Vietnamese natives who attended the banquet with the leaders, [-] of them were persuaded to surrender, and the remaining [-] returned to the glory of Tianzhu God.
Now Liu Ke has only a little over 2 soldiers in his hands.
Among them, there were originally [-] South Vietnamese aborigines, including the newly added [-], only [-] of them could walk on the ground in the mountains and forests.
In the hands of Ba Mudan, there are at least 2 young and strong clansmen who can fight, and it is not difficult to make up 3 people.
After all, the natives of South Vietnam are a nation where all the people are soldiers.
"Bones are hard, so bite hard"
The bones of the South Vietnamese aborigines are indeed hard, and Li Sun has personally confirmed this.
Liu Ke murmured and ordered to march.
It rained heavily last night, making it even more muddy and difficult to walk in the forest.
The soldiers of the three armies went straight into Changshan without saying a word.
Clouds and mist linger in the mountains, and the mountains and rivers are shimmering, and the fish are swimming in the water.
The sun shines through the clouds, casting a little bit of golden light, shining on this beautiful landscape, warm and comfortable.
The whole scene is like being in a quiet dream.
In the distance, a soldier and horse with the national flag of Cochin approached Changshan leisurely.
No one is willing to go deep into the mountains if they can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the mountains.
The woods are wet and muddy, so be careful when marching to avoid slipping into the mud or accidentally slipping.
Many damp dead branches were rotting on the ground, giving off an unpleasant rotten smell.
In addition, in the mountains and forests, various snakes and insects live together.
Walking among the branches and bushes, sometimes you can even meet the eyes of poisonous snakes, watching them entangle the treetops and spit out letters.
The generals and soldiers of the Han army, after going deep into the mountains and forests, seemed to be forgotten, and their mood was a bit dull.
What can make people feel a little better is perhaps the crystal dew on the leaf tips of those trees.
The soldiers gently pushed aside the branches, and a string of water droplets would shake off the treetops.
The scout who opened the way first, holding a long knife in his hand, cut a path from the messy branches and leaves in front, and walked lightly.
quack-
During the silent and difficult march, there was a sudden bird cry.
The sound made me a little nervous.
All the soldiers subconsciously looked for their prestige, and immediately someone cursed inwardly:
"brute!"
I don't know if he is scolding the natives of South Vietnam who hid in the forest, or this bird who doesn't know the current affairs.
After all, in this deep mountain and dense forest, what hinders the march the most is not the harsh environment.
It's the fear of those South Vietnamese natives who may emerge at any time.
In order to reassure the soldiers, Liu Ke, Li Jingji, Hua Chengyu and others who commanded the army did not dare to speak too much.
There are only the simplest and rude orders, and the occasional cough.
"Your Majesty, there is a high slope over there with a good view, why not lead the army to take a rest first."
When Chen Fujia came to report, even though he was from a famous family like him and cared about his image, the clothes under his armor had a few strands of silk drawn out by the branches.
"Well, first send scouts to check out, and then take a short rest."
Going deep into the mountains and searching for the natives of South Vietnam was more difficult than Liu Ke imagined.
Now only those South Vietnamese natives recruited by him can maintain their combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of other Han soldiers has dropped a lot.
On the high slope, the view is wide.
Li Jingji even climbed up to see where he was currently.
Across the sparse treetops, you can see the river at the foot of the mountain, and even hear the faint sound of water flowing.
By chance, he saw a stream in the forest again.
Li Jingji was overjoyed, and hurried to the donkey cart to meet:
"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war: the mountain is near the valley, and the place of life is high. There is no climb in the battle, and the army on the mountain is also here."
"Although the natives of South Vietnam sneaked into the mountains and hid, they were not easy to be found."
"But we must survive on weekdays, especially this water source, which is indispensable."
"As long as our army searches along the stream, we will definitely find traces!"
It makes sense, but this is what Li Jingji said.
Liu Ke pondered for a moment, anyway, it is good to have a direction.
If this goes on like this, there is still no one to be found, and the morale of the army may be even more depressed.
Seeing Li Jingji's eagerness to try again, Liu Ke said:
"You lead the vanguard by three thousand, take the first step, deploy scouts along the way, and check the surrounding environment at any time."
It doesn't matter if you can't find someone, you can trick someone out!
"Yes!"
Li Jingji took the lead, and this time he had to take down the natives of South Vietnam.
Fight against the regular army of the Cochin Kingdom, if you lose, forget it.
Fighting the natives, still want to lose? ?
The vanguard soldiers and horses were marching, and several scouts were exploring the way ahead.
Suddenly, a strange voice broke the silence of the march.
Everyone was shocked.
They hurriedly looked around, and before they could find the place where the sound came out, they saw a scout with a stag antler spear stuck across his body, flying from nowhere.
The standard weapons of the natives of South Vietnam, but no one saw them, where is the enemy.
Just when everyone was terrified, the scout who had been pierced by the antler spear fell straight to the ground.
Dang-
The long knife in his hand knocked against the stone, making a crisp and piercing sound.
Then came the big beach, the dazzling scarlet blood.
"There is an ambush, be careful!"
A quick-response scout yelled quickly.
This sound made all the scouts tremble with fear.
Regardless of the mud on the ground, they rolled and crawled one after another, looking for shelter.
One of the scouts, with mud on his hand, wiped it in a panic, and hurriedly took out the arrow from the quiver.
He nervously grasped the bow and drew the string, and was about to send out a loud arrow to notify the soldiers behind.
But at the same time, another antler spear flew over.
What followed was only the painful cry of the scout.
Then, in the dense forest, there was another sound of bowstrings.
The figures in the woods were constantly changing, the branches were swaying everywhere, there was a crackling sound, and countless arrows skipped the leaves.
The scouts looked solemn, and now they knew where the South Vietnamese natives were.
But this amount is completely beyond imagination.
"For the glory of Tianzhu God!"
The natives of Nanyue shouted the dialect of Nanyue one after another, with fanatic expressions on their faces, besides buckskin clothes, they also had tree branches stuck on their bodies.
With this outfit, hiding in the dense forest, it is difficult to see people at all.
"When the arrow is fired, the army must be notified!"
A few scouts were in the mountains and forests, and they couldn't outrun the familiar South Vietnamese natives.
After running desperately for a while, he simply gave up.
They took out loud arrows one after another and shot towards the sky.
The scouts sent letters desperately, and finally received results.
Seeing this, Li Jingji, who was leading the army along the stream, stopped the march immediately.
The random sounding arrows can only explain one thing.
The scouts who opened the way to explore in the mountains and forests encountered a large number of South Vietnamese natives, and they were no match at all!
"Turn around, retreat!"
Li Jingji retreated quite skillfully.
Even though the path along the stream was relatively narrow, the soldiers retreated in a very orderly manner.
The soldiers in the rear were ready to fight, and they did not lose their footing because of the withdrawal.
The soldiers in front, while retreating quickly, cleared the road and left an easy path for the people behind.
But at this time, due to the delay in retreating for a while, many South Vietnamese natives had already sprung out of the forest.
"Spears, Bows and Arrows"
Li Jingji gritted his teeth, there were actually quite a few South Vietnamese natives among them, and they were holding weapons bought from the Han army market.
That is to say, it is fortunate that the Han army did not sell armor, otherwise this group of natives would be even more difficult to deal with.
"Suppress with arrows, continue to retreat, join forces with the army led by His Majesty, and then inform the South Vietnamese soldiers of Hua Chengyu's troops, and invite them to go deep into the mountains and forests to fight!"
Li Jingji had a good idea, but he just never fought.
The Han army faced a rain of arrows, although they shot many South Vietnamese natives who rushed out of the mountains.
But something more dangerous came along.
The natives of South Vietnam who were on a high place directly looked down on them and threw many antler spears and rolling stones.
The soldiers of the Han army below were suddenly stabbed by antler spears, killing and injuring several people.
Although the rolling stone was not easy to hit, but the Han army shrank in the trail, and it was difficult to avoid it for a while.
"It happened."
Li Jingji was anxious, and attacking was the next strategy, he was determined not to turn around and attack again, so he had to bite the bullet and retreat.
Despite some injuries, Li Jingji finally joined forces with the army under the pursuit of the South Vietnamese natives.
But he glanced at the surrounding environment, the trees were denser than before, and his heart immediately felt cold.
Isn't this giving the cochin natives a chance?
Why is His Majesty here, fighting with the Cochin natives?
Liu Ke didn't hesitate much, and directly ordered to fight:
"Fight the enemy, line up!"
Li Jingji performed very well. The most difficult thing to deal with the Cochin natives is sneaking into the mountains and fighting against the Han army.
If you fight like this, you really can't fight.
But now that Li Jingji has lured the Jiaozhi natives out, even if the current humidity is not suitable for setting fire to it, there are plenty of other ways to defend against the enemy.
boom -
Just as the Han army was in formation, a huge boulder rolled down the hillside.
Li Jingji felt his scalp tingle.
He was almost hit by this kind of boulder just now, if he let the boulder run over the army, it would be over!
The soldiers of the Han army also felt tense, but the next moment, the huge boulder rolled into several nearby hardwoods and got stuck abruptly.
The boulder shook for a bit, as if it might roll down at any moment.
But in the end, it was still nailed between the two hardwoods, and there was only a sporadic burst of gravel and soil rolling down.
Li Jingji was overjoyed, it turns out that the denser forests have such a magical effect? !
Just intercept it, the giant rolling stone that is the most lethal to the army? !
The South Vietnamese natives in the forest saw that the boulder was stuck, and the remaining bows, arrows and antler spears could not cause much damage to the large-scale Han army.
Then at Ba Mudan's order, he was killed.
Liu Ke commanded the soldiers of the Han army and formed the most basic battle formation.
After one pass of leveling, his lead is also 66.
Like Yue Shaoqian, it is still impossible to command the army like arms and fingers, but it is still no problem to list the most basic battle formation.
The front shield, the middle spear, and the back bow have a clear division of labor.
The advantage of the Han army is the battle formation.
The South Vietnamese natives who still had branches planted on their bodies for concealment rushed down, shouting the glory of the God of Tianzhu loudly.
It's all about being taught by the battle array to be a man.
There is no armor, why are you rushing so fast?
There were far fewer South Vietnamese aborigines who charged and killed directly. Only the aborigines who threw antler spears and stones were still attacking violently.
But these things, under the front shield formation, seem like a drop in the bucket.
There are just a few unlucky guys who can't hold the shield with slippery hands, and are occasionally injured.
However, Bamdan did not rush to withdraw his troops.
Although the Han army didn't seem to be injured much, they were still on the defensive.
And the most lethal boulder, although it is clamped by hardwood, can't be clamped for long.
Sooner or later, the boulder will roll down, and the shield array of the Han army will be gone.
Even if the Han army dodged in time, it was useless.
Once dodging, unable to form a formation, they must be killed indiscriminately.
Suddenly, the forest was full of shouts and killings.
The Nanyue soldiers in the Han army were killed from the mountains!
Their appearance is almost the same as that of the natives of South Vietnam. Most of them also hold antler spears and wear deerskin clothes with branches for concealment.
The difference is that because they belong to the regular army of the Han army, they wear helmets on their heads, which can distinguish them from the indigenous people and resist scattered arrows.
Hua Chengyu and a group of South Vietnamese leaders who surrendered to the Han Dynasty led the soldiers and horses to show off their might.
They can also be ruthless when they fight against each other.
After all, the 1 horses are mainly composed of South Vietnamese aborigines who moved into the county.
These South Vietnamese natives who admired the life of the Han people had no feelings for the South Vietnamese natives in the long mountains.
And I prefer Han utensils.
To put it bluntly, they prefer to enjoy material abundance.
The Han army pays attention to military merits, which can be exchanged for rewards!
After this battle, add a few small copper tripods to the tomb!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing suddenly rose!
The Han army, which was still on the defensive and very passive, suddenly became a counterattack fighter.
The soldiers of the Han army faced the natives of South Vietnam and charged up against the wind. The drums and gongs of the Chinese army beat together, and Chen Fujia personally beat the drums.
Liu Ke's donkey cart is like an arrow, leading the Han army forward!
Chang Shan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly boiled.
The natives of South Vietnam who failed to break through the shield formation for a long time, directly let themselves be merman fish.
Countless arrows in the bow formation skipped over the forest, and the nearby South Vietnamese natives fell down.
There were even quite a few people who were so frightened by this scene that their soles scrambled, fell to the ground, and got stuck in the mud.
Immediately, there were mixed screams and shouts of killing.
If you can't tell the difference between Chinese and local dialects, it's like howling ghosts and gods.
Liu Ke was on the donkey cart, and You Dianchu was protecting each other with a few human shields, and didn't think much about defense at all.
And with [self-driving travel] destiny, it is guaranteed that when he drives the donkey cart himself, he can also race in the muddy mountains, and he has no scruples.
A donkey takes the lead, and there is no match on the chessboard.
The chessboard makes a great contribution!
Liu Ke is like a god of war, wherever the donkey cart goes, there are no survivors at all.
To say that this blunt weapon fights is indeed extremely advantageous.
There is no need to worry about the weapon getting stuck on the enemy's joints or tree trunks and being killed back.
One swipe and you're done.
No wonder Dian Chu doesn't use the halberd, and likes to play around with the enemy's corpses!
"This [killing pig] Destiny is really easy to use."
Liu Ke is even more complacent.
Chessboard Spear was invincible in the first battle, not to mention that [killing a pig] brought something far more than just personal force.
At this time, the natives of South Vietnam had retreated steadily, and could only hide in the mountains and run away.
Ba Mudan was extremely brave when he broke the back himself, which made Liu Ke dare not chase after him casually.
Li Jingji was gearing up to fight. Although his vanguard was defeated, it was considered a success in luring the enemy.
If the South Vietnamese natives didn't show up, they would chase after this hardwood-intensive terrain.
The Han army may not be able to defend against the offensive with a shield formation.
But if they can't stop the offensive of the South Vietnamese natives, if they can't drag them into the war, it will be difficult to create opportunities for the South Vietnamese soldiers on their side to get close.
Seeing the reversal of the situation, Li Jingji was about to fight fiercely, but he listened to the order to retreat all of a sudden.
"Your Majesty, it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it!!!"
"Quickly order, the poor will not chase after you!"
When Liu Ke saw Li Jingji begging, he was shocked and quickly stopped the soldiers.
All the soldiers felt a little pity, but they stopped when the emperor gave the order, shouting one after another:
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Han army Wansheng!"
Liu Ke looked around at the corpses, but there was not much joy on his face:
"The battle is not over yet, so please be patient."
"If the thieves fought head-on with us, they would indeed be able to catch them, but after this defeat, they would definitely not fight easily again."
"Soldiers, you need to be more vigilant."
When everyone heard this, their expressions tightened.
This time it really took advantage of the South Vietnamese natives who underestimated the enemy's aggressive advance.
Thanks to Li Jingji's first defeat, he led the enemy to fight head-on.
If the South Vietnamese natives, like they did when they dealt with Li Jingji, hid in secret, came out of the mountains and forests to beat them up, and then ran away.
Most of their results were the same as Li Jingji's, they could only grit their teeth and swallow a defeat.
This is also what Liu Ke is most afraid of.
If Ba Mudan took his tribe and played jungle guerrilla, the situation of the Han army would be very difficult.
Even if there are [-] South Vietnamese soldiers in the army, it is difficult to change the situation of the battle.
Chen Fujia thought for a while and suggested:
"Your Majesty, since General Li encountered the natives of South Vietnam by the stream, even though he lost a match, it can also show that General Li's deduction is correct."
"The natives of South Vietnam really walk by water for the convenience of drinking water."
Liu Ke nodded. Although Li Jingji was defeated in every battle, his thinking may not necessarily be wrong.
Sometimes the idea may be right, but the ability is poor, which leads to the defeat of the army.
Chen Fujia looked at the top of the mountain, and continued:
"Although the natives of South Vietnam can cross mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, and they can move freely in dense forests, they are mortal bodies after all."
"No matter how I adapt to life in the mountains and forests, I will still be bitten by mosquitoes."
"Then when they are resting, they will definitely choose a place where they can avoid mosquitoes, rats and ants."
Liu Ke also glanced at the top of the mountain:
"Chen Qing means"
Chen Fujia pointed to the top of the mountain and said:
"This stream passes through the top of the mountain."
Liu Ke said:
"The top of Changshan is the place where the natives of South Vietnam worship the God of Tianzhu, and it is also the so-called holy place of Changshan."
"The terrain is high enough to avoid mosquito bites, and the statue of Tianzhu God can also stabilize Bamdan's people's minds."
"So, most of the South Vietnamese natives will use the Changshan Holy Land as their base camp."
"Exactly."
Chen Fujia nodded, cupped his hands and said again:
"The top of the mountain can be defended even if it is dangerous. If you use the high ground to attack the low ground, you will have an advantage."
"If our army can take down the Changshan Holy Land, we can hit the enemy's morale, and let the surrendered leaders continue to spread the news, and then we can slowly subdue the South Vietnamese natives in the mountains."
Liu Ke waved his hand and said:
"If you act according to Chen Qing's plan, you will definitely win the Changshan Holy Land."
Then he exhorted:
"Estimated the time, Zhang Yiping has probably brought troops here, remember to follow my earlier plan and strictly implement it."
"Yes."
Chen Fujia was about to go down, but Liu Ke stopped him again, and repeatedly told him:
"The army under Zhang Yiping is the most important thing. We must act according to my previous arrangement."
"Even if I'm the only one left, don't disrupt the plan."
Chen Fujia looked hesitant:
"But those South Vietnamese natives are also powerful enemies. We should first take the holy land of Changshan and surrender before we can consider Zhang Yiping's army."
Liu Ke flatly refused, looked at the sky, and resolutely said:
"There is only one way to defeat Zhang Yiping's army."
"It's really not possible, and I may not have a way."
Seeing what Chen Fujia wanted to say, Liu Ke said:
"Military orders are like mountains."
"Yes."
Chen Fujia withdrew, and the Han army began to take a rest.
The natives of South Vietnam basically have no military discipline at all. Once they are defeated, it will take some time to regroup and form a considerable combat effectiveness.
But with Li Sun in front, no one dared to underestimate the impact of Tianzhu God on the natives of South Vietnam.
Ba Mudan used the excuse of Tianzhu God and the holy place of Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain to shorten the time for reuniting the army to the shortest possible time.
Therefore, even if the Han army wins a small game, they have to take more precautions.
Seeing this, Ba Mudan who retreated decided to ambush him.
It's a pity that the rainy day is muddy. If the Han army really came to chase rashly, he would never return.
-
Soon, the battle in the deep mountains had lasted for five days.
During the five days, the two sides won and lost each other, but none of them could affect the overall situation.
Although the Han army set the Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain as their target, it was a pity that they never got close.
Because it has been raining for the past five days.
Today, it is a rare thunderstorm.
The sky in the early morning became extremely heavy, and the black and dark clouds gathered in a hurry, like a big stone that made people unable to breathe.
It is even more oppressive than the invisible and intangible South Vietnamese natives in the mountains.
It is almost difficult to see through the violent rain, and the sky looks dark and gloomy.
The soldiers seemed to be trapped in the deep sea, and everything around them became blurred.
At noon, the Han army simply stopped searching and walked down the mountain.
Go to the previous big camp first, avoid it, and replenish it.
However, during the heavy rain, the Han army and the South Vietnamese natives reunited happily.
Meeting is fate, and the two sides directly fought.
For the natives of South Vietnam, this encounter is extremely beneficial.
They are already more flexible in the mountains and forests, and the buckskin clothes on their bodies are lighter even if they are wet in the rain.
On the other hand, the Han army was in a hurry and could not form an formation.
Although the armor was strong and durable, it became heavier after being filled with rain, and the soldiers were clumsy and difficult to fight.
But even so, the South Vietnamese natives can only say that they fought back and forth with the Han army.
After all, this is still a frontal battle. Even if the armor is wet and heavy, it is difficult for you to break through the defense!
However, Ba Mudan still didn't have any intention of retreating, and kept shouting the glory of Tianzhu God, like a leader of the oblique sect.
However, the natives of South Vietnam really do this.
All of them fought so bravely, and even some South Vietnamese soldiers in the Han army were a little timid.
They are not afraid of killing their own race, but they still have some respect for Tianzhu God.
Seeing that Ba Mudan was so persistent, Liu Ke immediately realized his purpose.
I'm afraid that Zhang Yiping has already arrived at Changshan and is leading his army to attack the Han army camp at the foot of the mountain.
In this way, the supply of the Han army can be completely cut off.
As long as the Han army is trapped in the long mountain, and the South Vietnamese natives in the mountain are besieged, the main force of the Han army can be wiped out.
This is the same situation that the Han army was most afraid of before.
It's just that they were afraid that when they entered Jiuzhen County, the South Vietnamese natives would cut off their retreat.
Now they are marching into Changshan, Zhang Yiping made a big detour, and the Jiaozhi soldiers came to cut off their retreat.
"The situation is not good, please Your Majesty to break through as soon as possible!"
"Don't want to kill the enemy, just rush to the big camp at the foot of the mountain, and attack Zhang Yiping back and forth with the soldiers in the camp, this situation can be broken!"
Chen Fujia was drenched all over, with his hair sticking to his cheeks, and braved the heavy rain to find a donkey cart to persuade him.
His force value is 78. Although there are no relevant characteristics, if Hua Chengyu hadn't acquired the [Resistance to Beating] characteristic in the Yizhou Prison, he would definitely not be Chen Fujia's opponent.
Therefore, Chen Fujia followed the army and picked up many heads.
It's a pity that now is obviously not the time to show that the civil servants of the Han Dynasty are able to resist and fight. His 92 intellect can see the disadvantages of the Han army at a glance.
Liu Ke also knew that the situation was not good.
With a sinking of the chessboard spear in his hand, he smashed to death a South Vietnamese native, wiped away the rain that almost blurred his vision, and hissed:
"Follow the plan."
Chen Fujia saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so he had to retreat.
In the battlefield, the sky and the earth seemed to be all mixed together because of the heavy rain.
Everything in front of him looked extremely blurry.
The rain was like a sudden wave, washing the air endlessly, but it couldn't wash away, the smell of blood.
The mountain road was muddy, slippery and wet, and the soldiers' steps kept slipping.
When fighting, not only must guard against the enemy, but every movement needs to be extra cautious.
If you are not careful, you may fall into the mud, and then you will be disturbed by the antler spear.
The flag is not displayed, morale is low, and the battle can only rely on will.
Do your best to get an inch in.
And the whole process of the battle seemed to be intimidated by the abundance of the torrential rain, becoming more intense and cruel.
The blood surged together with the rain, accompanied by angry shouts of killing, and tragic screams, entangled with each other.
In this scorching battle, not only force, but also a little luck is needed to have a chance of survival.
All the generals of the Han army gritted their teeth as they glanced at the donkey carts leading the way.
Fight luck and fight luck!
The emperor was not afraid of the wheels getting stuck in the mud when he was driving a donkey cart. Instead, he took the lead and killed people like hemp.
Are they still worried about bad luck and getting stuck in a mud pit?
But Lu Xun said that if a person is unlucky, he will hit his heel if he farts.
"The reinforcements sent by Tianzhu God are here!"
Ba Mudan was hit by an arrow in his arm, and he was still in a bloody battle, at this moment he suddenly shouted excitedly.
The South Vietnamese natives also looked down the mountain one after another.
I saw a lot of soldiers in armor and ready to go up the mountain in the form of a hundred people.
The leader is Zhang Yiping.
Seeing this, the natives of South Vietnam let out a whimper.
At that time, there was a howling sound in the mountain forest, which was extremely terrifying.
"The camp at the foot of the mountain is broken?!"
Li Jingji, who was behind the army, was shocked.
But since His Majesty put him in the rear army, it means that he also expected this.
Li Jingji cheered up immediately, with the spear in hand, he was unstoppable:
"Your Majesty, don't disturb, there is no need to panic if there is a general who will stop the enemy from coming down the mountain!"
Then he lost.
Good armor, a sharp sword, a month of energy storage, and familiarity with the local terrain.
All these are the advantages of Zhang Yiping's hand in hand.
Even if the fighting power of the Han army was brought to the extreme, it was still facing the enemy, and the situation was not optimistic.
Even the organizational strength and superiority of the military formation that the Han army is most proud of were affected by the heavy rain and could not be commanded properly at all.
It can be said that the quality of the Han army is already high if it is not in chaos.
For a while, the Han army could not be organized into an effective army formation at all, and could only fight bluntly.
Ever since, in the long mountain, in addition to the sound of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, there is also the sound of gold and iron interlacing, the sound of wailing and crying,
In the chaos, they kept killing for a whole afternoon.
The strong wind blows, the rain is pouring, the flesh and blood are splashed, and the layers of withered and yellow dry leaves float together with the rain and blood.
The accumulation of corpses and remnants of broken wood also made the entire battlefield more tragic, making people feel sad.
As evening approaches, the sky gradually darkens.
The rain was not light, but the offensive slowed down a lot.
After all, it was still raining at night, so even if you had the advantage, you couldn't fight.
Ba Mudan and his tribe sneaked into the mountain, Zhang Yiping also let the soldiers retreat to rest and guard the main roads in the long mountain.
The Han army found a high slope and barely had a chance to breathe, but it was only a breath.
The rainstorm night where you can't see your fingers, coupled with the exhaustion of the whole afternoon of fighting, you are too tired to raise your arms.
No one knew how many soldiers were left in the army after the scuffle in the torrential rain.
"Turn into rain, you go and count the battle damage."
Seeing that there was Hua Chengyu beside him, Liu Ke asked him to check the battlefield.
He didn't take off his armor, but looked up at the sky, waiting quietly.
The next news may not be optimistic.
"His Majesty."
Hua Chengyu was shot by an arrow in the waist, but he just dealt with it hastily, wrapped the bag with a cloth, and now it is still oozing blood.
And the big knife in his hand was even missing a corner due to a hard fight.
At this time, this middle-aged handsome guy didn't have much appearance, his hair was messily pasted on his forehead, and the blood color on his face had changed from anger to ferocity.
He gritted his teeth, and the armor on his body also looked tattered.
Liu Ke inserted the chessboard spear into the ground.
The land of Cochin Kingdom is red clay and clay, which is very soft and has experienced heavy rains. With this insertion, several inches were inserted.
He re-wrapped Hua Chengyu in silence, and asked softly:
"What is the current situation of our army?"
Hua Chengyu cried a little more, he resisted the beating, the wound didn't hurt, but his heart ached:
"The big camp at the foot of the mountain has been breached by Zhang Yiping."
"Lord Chen, General Dian, and General Li were all lost in the chaos!"
"So far, no trace has been found."
"There are only five thousand soldiers in our army who can fight!"
In fact, it can almost be regarded as annihilation of the entire army, and it is no wonder that it turned into rain, so sad.
He is 38 this year and has been in the army for 20 years.
Such failures are not uncommon.
When the late emperor was still there, he was used to being defeated.
But this is the first time since the current emperor ascended the throne.
Even defeat, is the first time.
And it's not just an ordinary defeat, the subsequent negative impact is even worse.
Among the 5000 people, there are mainly [-] imperial guards, and there are less than [-] Han soldiers.
The rest are South Vietnamese soldiers who are familiar with fighting in the mountains and have little influence in rainy weather.
If this group of people did not have the checks and balances of the Han soldiers, and seeing the defeat of the Han army, it is hard to guarantee that they would not run away or even mutiny.
If the news spread to the rear, Qiongzhou might become unstable and cause turmoil.
After all, this expedition was to raise food and grass for the people, and also used stocks.
The Han army cannot be defeated. Once defeated, the people's hearts that the big Han relied on to regain their homeland will be gone.
The credibility of the imperial court will also fall to the bottom.
Not only Donghu may have begun to unanimously external from this point, but the Han Dynasty must also be in crisis.
However, the most dangerous thing is the current battle situation.
In the mountain forest, there are South Vietnamese natives headed by Ba Mudan lurking, and at the foot of the mountain, an army led by Zhang Yiping cuts off the retreat.
A wolf before a tiger.
Not to mention turning defeat into victory, even escaping from death would be extremely difficult.
Hua Chengyu hesitated for a while, even finding it difficult to speak: "Your Majesty."
Liu Ke supported himself with a chessboard spear.
There is a chessboard spear, although gods can block and kill gods, and Buddhas can block and kill Buddhas, but human physical strength is limited, and it is not enough to sustain him for an entire afternoon.
"Speak straight."
Hua Chengyu gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, it is better for the last general to lead the troops and rush down the mountain to break through."
Liu Ke couldn't help laughing:
"Zhang Yiping came prepared, how can you lead the army to easily break through?"
Hua Chengyu said unwillingly:
"The last general will lead the troops, just lead the soldiers and horses away. Your Majesty can take the donkey cart and take the opportunity to leave."
This move does work.
Needless to say, the emperor's technique of driving a donkey cart with the remaining soldiers and horses to attract the defenders.
Even on this muddy mountain road, there is no wheel sinkhole, and no one can catch up with others.
It can be said that as long as you have this donkey cart technology, if you can't beat it, you can definitely run it.
In the rain, Liu Ke took a step forward, glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and said slowly:
"Big man, has been running for 20 years."
"In the past 20 years, how many soldiers and people have been left behind!"
"When you get to my place, you can't run anymore!"
Hua Chengyu's face was ferocious, showing a bit of ruthlessness, but the lack of teeth in his mouth made him look a bit funny:
"If Your Majesty insists on doing this, then don't blame the general for being rude!"
As long as the emperor is still there, the big man will still have a turning point.
When the emperor is gone, the big man is gone.
Even if it is replaced by another person, it will not work.
"how?"
Liu Ke chuckled lightly and said, "Do you want to knock me out and find someone to send me out?"
"Uh"
Hua Chengyu was at a loss for words, yes, how could he have the idea of knocking out a mighty emperor and taking him away?
"Can"
"I know the situation is critical."
Liu Ke's expression was as usual: "But why do you want to go down?"
He pointed to the top of the mountain with one hand:
"Is there any opportunity to take down the Changshan Holy Land of the South Vietnamese natives on the top of the mountain?"
"Your Majesty means..."
Hua Chengyu opened his eyes wide: "This is also a way."
"But our army has not gathered the defeated army yet, and there are not enough soldiers and horses. Even if we can deal with the South Vietnamese natives in the mountains and forests, if one is not good, we will be discovered by Zhang Yiping..."
"I know that too."
Liu Ke's expression remained unchanged.
"But if the Changshan Holy Land is captured, the South Vietnamese soldiers in the army can return to their hearts, and our army will also have a stronghold to gather the scattered troops scattered in the mountains and forests, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty, this move is too risky!"
Hua Chengyu gritted his teeth and said again:
"The rain hasn't stopped, it's getting bigger and bigger, and there is no cover on the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to walk."
"One heavy rain has already made our army miserable, if it is a little bigger..."
"How can I not know?"
Liu Ke pulled out the chessboard spear, held it in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, his voice getting louder and louder.
It was originally a secret discussion between the two, but it attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers for a while.
"For me, the soldiers have braved the rain and fought fiercely so far."
"Dead die, scattered scattered."
"Now there are only 5000 people left in the army, but I dare to say that none of the soldiers who are not in the army will abandon me."
"The soldiers did not abandon me."
"How can I abandon my soldiers and escape alone?"
All the officers and men were stunned when they heard about it.
The Han soldiers are okay, they have been limped a long time ago.
But those South Vietnamese soldiers who don't understand twists and turns and are relatively simple are all moved.
But Liu Ke didn't hide, facing the remaining soldiers, he said loudly:
"It's raining tonight, the rain is heavier than at noon, and the vision is more blurred, but it may not be an opportunity for our army!"
"It's all of you who dare not take the risk of climbing the mountain and forcibly take the Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain."
"The Bamutan in the forest and Zhang Yiping at the foot of the mountain are even more unimaginable."
"The enemy can't think of what we do, so we have to do it."
"Climbing to the top of the mountain is certainly a moment of crisis, but if we win the holy land of Changshan, it can turn defeat into victory in the overall situation!"
All the soldiers were startled.
I didn't understand it, and I didn't know how to turn defeat into victory.
However, among them, most of them are the natives of South Vietnam, and they have a sense of belonging to the Changshan Holy Land, so they reluctantly agree with this sentence.
It's just that they are still not very optimistic, and everyone has hesitation on their faces.
Isn't it more dangerous to take the risk of climbing a mountain to take land in the rainstorm?
"I know what you're thinking."
The rain dripped from the edge of the armor, and the clothes inside were already soaked, and when I stretched out my hands, I felt uncomfortable all over.
Liu Ke still held the chessboard spear high, looked around, and said:
"Mountain climbing on a rainy night is difficult."
"It is difficult to take down the Changshan Holy Land after climbing the mountain."
"After taking down the Changshan Holy Land, it is difficult to gather soldiers."
"Even if everything is successful, we still have to face Zhang Yiping's army."
"It's even harder."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, don't you want to start this way?!"
"Even if you can go to the foot of the mountain and successfully break through, what is it like to face the people?"
"The people of Jiuzhen County and Jiaozhi County are still waiting for me to divide the land."
"How can I disappoint their hopes?!"
The soldiers did not know what the expectations of the people had to do with them.
But they were kidnapped by the emperor's morality, and they felt that it made some sense.
Before the soldiers could think about it further, and untied themselves, Liu Ke directly swept across with the chessboard spear, and said coldly to the surrounding soldiers:
"Don't talk about breaking out again, the soldiers have not abandoned me, and I will not abandon the soldiers."
"Take advantage of this rainy night to take down the Changshan Holy Land!"
After all, it was a bloody battle all afternoon.
And the brave appearance of the emperor is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that the emperor took the lead and was kidnapped by morality again, the soldiers didn't say much, they just bowed their heads and took orders.
There is no other way for Hua Chengyu, and he doesn't have the ability to stun the emperor, so he can only follow the crowd and start to organize the army.
Liu Ke knew it would be like this.
After all, there is the destiny of [Flicker] and [Prince and General Xiang Ning has a kindness], if Flicker is lame and calls again, it will definitely drain the last breath of strength from the soldiers.
As for the Han army, the Han army will not only have 5000 people left.
Liu Ke cares more about the soldiers than anyone else.
That was a little family property that he had managed to save, how could he just lose it like this?
If it is really such a big defeat, even if it can win, how can there be spare energy for the Northern Expedition?
The real Han army is naturally not here, and it will not be gathered.
These unidentified South Vietnamese soldiers were left behind on purpose by him.
The current situation is very good.
Anyone who reads it will see that the Han army has suffered a disastrous defeat, and they will have the thought of beating the dog in the water.
In this way, someone will attack.
Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Ke mentioned that he had rested for a while, and with the strength he had accumulated, he drove a donkey cart to the front of the soldiers.
In the darkness, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and his voice was not very clear in the rainstorm.
But it can penetrate people's hearts.
"The prosperity of the emperor has its own destiny. I retreated to Donghu with tens of thousands of people. Now I meet this small bandit in the mountains and forests and avoid it. What face does it have to return to Chang'an to defend the four poles?!"
"In today's battle, the one who wins the mountain wins. The thieves have already occupied the mountain. I and you will take it together!"
(End of this chapter)
The Han army is about to go deep into Changshan to pursue the rioting South Vietnamese aborigines.
But the camp was not in a hurry to dismantle it, and some troops were left to guard it.
After all, it is not known how long it will take to go deep into Changshan. With such a stronghold, it is extremely convenient for both supplies and rest.
Of the 1000 South Vietnamese natives who attended the banquet with the leaders, [-] of them were persuaded to surrender, and the remaining [-] returned to the glory of Tianzhu God.
Now Liu Ke has only a little over 2 soldiers in his hands.
Among them, there were originally [-] South Vietnamese aborigines, including the newly added [-], only [-] of them could walk on the ground in the mountains and forests.
In the hands of Ba Mudan, there are at least 2 young and strong clansmen who can fight, and it is not difficult to make up 3 people.
After all, the natives of South Vietnam are a nation where all the people are soldiers.
"Bones are hard, so bite hard"
The bones of the South Vietnamese aborigines are indeed hard, and Li Sun has personally confirmed this.
Liu Ke murmured and ordered to march.
It rained heavily last night, making it even more muddy and difficult to walk in the forest.
The soldiers of the three armies went straight into Changshan without saying a word.
Clouds and mist linger in the mountains, and the mountains and rivers are shimmering, and the fish are swimming in the water.
The sun shines through the clouds, casting a little bit of golden light, shining on this beautiful landscape, warm and comfortable.
The whole scene is like being in a quiet dream.
In the distance, a soldier and horse with the national flag of Cochin approached Changshan leisurely.
No one is willing to go deep into the mountains if they can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the mountains.
The woods are wet and muddy, so be careful when marching to avoid slipping into the mud or accidentally slipping.
Many damp dead branches were rotting on the ground, giving off an unpleasant rotten smell.
In addition, in the mountains and forests, various snakes and insects live together.
Walking among the branches and bushes, sometimes you can even meet the eyes of poisonous snakes, watching them entangle the treetops and spit out letters.
The generals and soldiers of the Han army, after going deep into the mountains and forests, seemed to be forgotten, and their mood was a bit dull.
What can make people feel a little better is perhaps the crystal dew on the leaf tips of those trees.
The soldiers gently pushed aside the branches, and a string of water droplets would shake off the treetops.
The scout who opened the way first, holding a long knife in his hand, cut a path from the messy branches and leaves in front, and walked lightly.
quack-
During the silent and difficult march, there was a sudden bird cry.
The sound made me a little nervous.
All the soldiers subconsciously looked for their prestige, and immediately someone cursed inwardly:
"brute!"
I don't know if he is scolding the natives of South Vietnam who hid in the forest, or this bird who doesn't know the current affairs.
After all, in this deep mountain and dense forest, what hinders the march the most is not the harsh environment.
It's the fear of those South Vietnamese natives who may emerge at any time.
In order to reassure the soldiers, Liu Ke, Li Jingji, Hua Chengyu and others who commanded the army did not dare to speak too much.
There are only the simplest and rude orders, and the occasional cough.
"Your Majesty, there is a high slope over there with a good view, why not lead the army to take a rest first."
When Chen Fujia came to report, even though he was from a famous family like him and cared about his image, the clothes under his armor had a few strands of silk drawn out by the branches.
"Well, first send scouts to check out, and then take a short rest."
Going deep into the mountains and searching for the natives of South Vietnam was more difficult than Liu Ke imagined.
Now only those South Vietnamese natives recruited by him can maintain their combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of other Han soldiers has dropped a lot.
On the high slope, the view is wide.
Li Jingji even climbed up to see where he was currently.
Across the sparse treetops, you can see the river at the foot of the mountain, and even hear the faint sound of water flowing.
By chance, he saw a stream in the forest again.
Li Jingji was overjoyed, and hurried to the donkey cart to meet:
"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war: the mountain is near the valley, and the place of life is high. There is no climb in the battle, and the army on the mountain is also here."
"Although the natives of South Vietnam sneaked into the mountains and hid, they were not easy to be found."
"But we must survive on weekdays, especially this water source, which is indispensable."
"As long as our army searches along the stream, we will definitely find traces!"
It makes sense, but this is what Li Jingji said.
Liu Ke pondered for a moment, anyway, it is good to have a direction.
If this goes on like this, there is still no one to be found, and the morale of the army may be even more depressed.
Seeing Li Jingji's eagerness to try again, Liu Ke said:
"You lead the vanguard by three thousand, take the first step, deploy scouts along the way, and check the surrounding environment at any time."
It doesn't matter if you can't find someone, you can trick someone out!
"Yes!"
Li Jingji took the lead, and this time he had to take down the natives of South Vietnam.
Fight against the regular army of the Cochin Kingdom, if you lose, forget it.
Fighting the natives, still want to lose? ?
The vanguard soldiers and horses were marching, and several scouts were exploring the way ahead.
Suddenly, a strange voice broke the silence of the march.
Everyone was shocked.
They hurriedly looked around, and before they could find the place where the sound came out, they saw a scout with a stag antler spear stuck across his body, flying from nowhere.
The standard weapons of the natives of South Vietnam, but no one saw them, where is the enemy.
Just when everyone was terrified, the scout who had been pierced by the antler spear fell straight to the ground.
Dang-
The long knife in his hand knocked against the stone, making a crisp and piercing sound.
Then came the big beach, the dazzling scarlet blood.
"There is an ambush, be careful!"
A quick-response scout yelled quickly.
This sound made all the scouts tremble with fear.
Regardless of the mud on the ground, they rolled and crawled one after another, looking for shelter.
One of the scouts, with mud on his hand, wiped it in a panic, and hurriedly took out the arrow from the quiver.
He nervously grasped the bow and drew the string, and was about to send out a loud arrow to notify the soldiers behind.
But at the same time, another antler spear flew over.
What followed was only the painful cry of the scout.
Then, in the dense forest, there was another sound of bowstrings.
The figures in the woods were constantly changing, the branches were swaying everywhere, there was a crackling sound, and countless arrows skipped the leaves.
The scouts looked solemn, and now they knew where the South Vietnamese natives were.
But this amount is completely beyond imagination.
"For the glory of Tianzhu God!"
The natives of Nanyue shouted the dialect of Nanyue one after another, with fanatic expressions on their faces, besides buckskin clothes, they also had tree branches stuck on their bodies.
With this outfit, hiding in the dense forest, it is difficult to see people at all.
"When the arrow is fired, the army must be notified!"
A few scouts were in the mountains and forests, and they couldn't outrun the familiar South Vietnamese natives.
After running desperately for a while, he simply gave up.
They took out loud arrows one after another and shot towards the sky.
The scouts sent letters desperately, and finally received results.
Seeing this, Li Jingji, who was leading the army along the stream, stopped the march immediately.
The random sounding arrows can only explain one thing.
The scouts who opened the way to explore in the mountains and forests encountered a large number of South Vietnamese natives, and they were no match at all!
"Turn around, retreat!"
Li Jingji retreated quite skillfully.
Even though the path along the stream was relatively narrow, the soldiers retreated in a very orderly manner.
The soldiers in the rear were ready to fight, and they did not lose their footing because of the withdrawal.
The soldiers in front, while retreating quickly, cleared the road and left an easy path for the people behind.
But at this time, due to the delay in retreating for a while, many South Vietnamese natives had already sprung out of the forest.
"Spears, Bows and Arrows"
Li Jingji gritted his teeth, there were actually quite a few South Vietnamese natives among them, and they were holding weapons bought from the Han army market.
That is to say, it is fortunate that the Han army did not sell armor, otherwise this group of natives would be even more difficult to deal with.
"Suppress with arrows, continue to retreat, join forces with the army led by His Majesty, and then inform the South Vietnamese soldiers of Hua Chengyu's troops, and invite them to go deep into the mountains and forests to fight!"
Li Jingji had a good idea, but he just never fought.
The Han army faced a rain of arrows, although they shot many South Vietnamese natives who rushed out of the mountains.
But something more dangerous came along.
The natives of South Vietnam who were on a high place directly looked down on them and threw many antler spears and rolling stones.
The soldiers of the Han army below were suddenly stabbed by antler spears, killing and injuring several people.
Although the rolling stone was not easy to hit, but the Han army shrank in the trail, and it was difficult to avoid it for a while.
"It happened."
Li Jingji was anxious, and attacking was the next strategy, he was determined not to turn around and attack again, so he had to bite the bullet and retreat.
Despite some injuries, Li Jingji finally joined forces with the army under the pursuit of the South Vietnamese natives.
But he glanced at the surrounding environment, the trees were denser than before, and his heart immediately felt cold.
Isn't this giving the cochin natives a chance?
Why is His Majesty here, fighting with the Cochin natives?
Liu Ke didn't hesitate much, and directly ordered to fight:
"Fight the enemy, line up!"
Li Jingji performed very well. The most difficult thing to deal with the Cochin natives is sneaking into the mountains and fighting against the Han army.
If you fight like this, you really can't fight.
But now that Li Jingji has lured the Jiaozhi natives out, even if the current humidity is not suitable for setting fire to it, there are plenty of other ways to defend against the enemy.
boom -
Just as the Han army was in formation, a huge boulder rolled down the hillside.
Li Jingji felt his scalp tingle.
He was almost hit by this kind of boulder just now, if he let the boulder run over the army, it would be over!
The soldiers of the Han army also felt tense, but the next moment, the huge boulder rolled into several nearby hardwoods and got stuck abruptly.
The boulder shook for a bit, as if it might roll down at any moment.
But in the end, it was still nailed between the two hardwoods, and there was only a sporadic burst of gravel and soil rolling down.
Li Jingji was overjoyed, it turns out that the denser forests have such a magical effect? !
Just intercept it, the giant rolling stone that is the most lethal to the army? !
The South Vietnamese natives in the forest saw that the boulder was stuck, and the remaining bows, arrows and antler spears could not cause much damage to the large-scale Han army.
Then at Ba Mudan's order, he was killed.
Liu Ke commanded the soldiers of the Han army and formed the most basic battle formation.
After one pass of leveling, his lead is also 66.
Like Yue Shaoqian, it is still impossible to command the army like arms and fingers, but it is still no problem to list the most basic battle formation.
The front shield, the middle spear, and the back bow have a clear division of labor.
The advantage of the Han army is the battle formation.
The South Vietnamese natives who still had branches planted on their bodies for concealment rushed down, shouting the glory of the God of Tianzhu loudly.
It's all about being taught by the battle array to be a man.
There is no armor, why are you rushing so fast?
There were far fewer South Vietnamese aborigines who charged and killed directly. Only the aborigines who threw antler spears and stones were still attacking violently.
But these things, under the front shield formation, seem like a drop in the bucket.
There are just a few unlucky guys who can't hold the shield with slippery hands, and are occasionally injured.
However, Bamdan did not rush to withdraw his troops.
Although the Han army didn't seem to be injured much, they were still on the defensive.
And the most lethal boulder, although it is clamped by hardwood, can't be clamped for long.
Sooner or later, the boulder will roll down, and the shield array of the Han army will be gone.
Even if the Han army dodged in time, it was useless.
Once dodging, unable to form a formation, they must be killed indiscriminately.
Suddenly, the forest was full of shouts and killings.
The Nanyue soldiers in the Han army were killed from the mountains!
Their appearance is almost the same as that of the natives of South Vietnam. Most of them also hold antler spears and wear deerskin clothes with branches for concealment.
The difference is that because they belong to the regular army of the Han army, they wear helmets on their heads, which can distinguish them from the indigenous people and resist scattered arrows.
Hua Chengyu and a group of South Vietnamese leaders who surrendered to the Han Dynasty led the soldiers and horses to show off their might.
They can also be ruthless when they fight against each other.
After all, the 1 horses are mainly composed of South Vietnamese aborigines who moved into the county.
These South Vietnamese natives who admired the life of the Han people had no feelings for the South Vietnamese natives in the long mountains.
And I prefer Han utensils.
To put it bluntly, they prefer to enjoy material abundance.
The Han army pays attention to military merits, which can be exchanged for rewards!
After this battle, add a few small copper tripods to the tomb!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing suddenly rose!
The Han army, which was still on the defensive and very passive, suddenly became a counterattack fighter.
The soldiers of the Han army faced the natives of South Vietnam and charged up against the wind. The drums and gongs of the Chinese army beat together, and Chen Fujia personally beat the drums.
Liu Ke's donkey cart is like an arrow, leading the Han army forward!
Chang Shan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly boiled.
The natives of South Vietnam who failed to break through the shield formation for a long time, directly let themselves be merman fish.
Countless arrows in the bow formation skipped over the forest, and the nearby South Vietnamese natives fell down.
There were even quite a few people who were so frightened by this scene that their soles scrambled, fell to the ground, and got stuck in the mud.
Immediately, there were mixed screams and shouts of killing.
If you can't tell the difference between Chinese and local dialects, it's like howling ghosts and gods.
Liu Ke was on the donkey cart, and You Dianchu was protecting each other with a few human shields, and didn't think much about defense at all.
And with [self-driving travel] destiny, it is guaranteed that when he drives the donkey cart himself, he can also race in the muddy mountains, and he has no scruples.
A donkey takes the lead, and there is no match on the chessboard.
The chessboard makes a great contribution!
Liu Ke is like a god of war, wherever the donkey cart goes, there are no survivors at all.
To say that this blunt weapon fights is indeed extremely advantageous.
There is no need to worry about the weapon getting stuck on the enemy's joints or tree trunks and being killed back.
One swipe and you're done.
No wonder Dian Chu doesn't use the halberd, and likes to play around with the enemy's corpses!
"This [killing pig] Destiny is really easy to use."
Liu Ke is even more complacent.
Chessboard Spear was invincible in the first battle, not to mention that [killing a pig] brought something far more than just personal force.
At this time, the natives of South Vietnam had retreated steadily, and could only hide in the mountains and run away.
Ba Mudan was extremely brave when he broke the back himself, which made Liu Ke dare not chase after him casually.
Li Jingji was gearing up to fight. Although his vanguard was defeated, it was considered a success in luring the enemy.
If the South Vietnamese natives didn't show up, they would chase after this hardwood-intensive terrain.
The Han army may not be able to defend against the offensive with a shield formation.
But if they can't stop the offensive of the South Vietnamese natives, if they can't drag them into the war, it will be difficult to create opportunities for the South Vietnamese soldiers on their side to get close.
Seeing the reversal of the situation, Li Jingji was about to fight fiercely, but he listened to the order to retreat all of a sudden.
"Your Majesty, it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it!!!"
"Quickly order, the poor will not chase after you!"
When Liu Ke saw Li Jingji begging, he was shocked and quickly stopped the soldiers.
All the soldiers felt a little pity, but they stopped when the emperor gave the order, shouting one after another:
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Han army Wansheng!"
Liu Ke looked around at the corpses, but there was not much joy on his face:
"The battle is not over yet, so please be patient."
"If the thieves fought head-on with us, they would indeed be able to catch them, but after this defeat, they would definitely not fight easily again."
"Soldiers, you need to be more vigilant."
When everyone heard this, their expressions tightened.
This time it really took advantage of the South Vietnamese natives who underestimated the enemy's aggressive advance.
Thanks to Li Jingji's first defeat, he led the enemy to fight head-on.
If the South Vietnamese natives, like they did when they dealt with Li Jingji, hid in secret, came out of the mountains and forests to beat them up, and then ran away.
Most of their results were the same as Li Jingji's, they could only grit their teeth and swallow a defeat.
This is also what Liu Ke is most afraid of.
If Ba Mudan took his tribe and played jungle guerrilla, the situation of the Han army would be very difficult.
Even if there are [-] South Vietnamese soldiers in the army, it is difficult to change the situation of the battle.
Chen Fujia thought for a while and suggested:
"Your Majesty, since General Li encountered the natives of South Vietnam by the stream, even though he lost a match, it can also show that General Li's deduction is correct."
"The natives of South Vietnam really walk by water for the convenience of drinking water."
Liu Ke nodded. Although Li Jingji was defeated in every battle, his thinking may not necessarily be wrong.
Sometimes the idea may be right, but the ability is poor, which leads to the defeat of the army.
Chen Fujia looked at the top of the mountain, and continued:
"Although the natives of South Vietnam can cross mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, and they can move freely in dense forests, they are mortal bodies after all."
"No matter how I adapt to life in the mountains and forests, I will still be bitten by mosquitoes."
"Then when they are resting, they will definitely choose a place where they can avoid mosquitoes, rats and ants."
Liu Ke also glanced at the top of the mountain:
"Chen Qing means"
Chen Fujia pointed to the top of the mountain and said:
"This stream passes through the top of the mountain."
Liu Ke said:
"The top of Changshan is the place where the natives of South Vietnam worship the God of Tianzhu, and it is also the so-called holy place of Changshan."
"The terrain is high enough to avoid mosquito bites, and the statue of Tianzhu God can also stabilize Bamdan's people's minds."
"So, most of the South Vietnamese natives will use the Changshan Holy Land as their base camp."
"Exactly."
Chen Fujia nodded, cupped his hands and said again:
"The top of the mountain can be defended even if it is dangerous. If you use the high ground to attack the low ground, you will have an advantage."
"If our army can take down the Changshan Holy Land, we can hit the enemy's morale, and let the surrendered leaders continue to spread the news, and then we can slowly subdue the South Vietnamese natives in the mountains."
Liu Ke waved his hand and said:
"If you act according to Chen Qing's plan, you will definitely win the Changshan Holy Land."
Then he exhorted:
"Estimated the time, Zhang Yiping has probably brought troops here, remember to follow my earlier plan and strictly implement it."
"Yes."
Chen Fujia was about to go down, but Liu Ke stopped him again, and repeatedly told him:
"The army under Zhang Yiping is the most important thing. We must act according to my previous arrangement."
"Even if I'm the only one left, don't disrupt the plan."
Chen Fujia looked hesitant:
"But those South Vietnamese natives are also powerful enemies. We should first take the holy land of Changshan and surrender before we can consider Zhang Yiping's army."
Liu Ke flatly refused, looked at the sky, and resolutely said:
"There is only one way to defeat Zhang Yiping's army."
"It's really not possible, and I may not have a way."
Seeing what Chen Fujia wanted to say, Liu Ke said:
"Military orders are like mountains."
"Yes."
Chen Fujia withdrew, and the Han army began to take a rest.
The natives of South Vietnam basically have no military discipline at all. Once they are defeated, it will take some time to regroup and form a considerable combat effectiveness.
But with Li Sun in front, no one dared to underestimate the impact of Tianzhu God on the natives of South Vietnam.
Ba Mudan used the excuse of Tianzhu God and the holy place of Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain to shorten the time for reuniting the army to the shortest possible time.
Therefore, even if the Han army wins a small game, they have to take more precautions.
Seeing this, Ba Mudan who retreated decided to ambush him.
It's a pity that the rainy day is muddy. If the Han army really came to chase rashly, he would never return.
-
Soon, the battle in the deep mountains had lasted for five days.
During the five days, the two sides won and lost each other, but none of them could affect the overall situation.
Although the Han army set the Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain as their target, it was a pity that they never got close.
Because it has been raining for the past five days.
Today, it is a rare thunderstorm.
The sky in the early morning became extremely heavy, and the black and dark clouds gathered in a hurry, like a big stone that made people unable to breathe.
It is even more oppressive than the invisible and intangible South Vietnamese natives in the mountains.
It is almost difficult to see through the violent rain, and the sky looks dark and gloomy.
The soldiers seemed to be trapped in the deep sea, and everything around them became blurred.
At noon, the Han army simply stopped searching and walked down the mountain.
Go to the previous big camp first, avoid it, and replenish it.
However, during the heavy rain, the Han army and the South Vietnamese natives reunited happily.
Meeting is fate, and the two sides directly fought.
For the natives of South Vietnam, this encounter is extremely beneficial.
They are already more flexible in the mountains and forests, and the buckskin clothes on their bodies are lighter even if they are wet in the rain.
On the other hand, the Han army was in a hurry and could not form an formation.
Although the armor was strong and durable, it became heavier after being filled with rain, and the soldiers were clumsy and difficult to fight.
But even so, the South Vietnamese natives can only say that they fought back and forth with the Han army.
After all, this is still a frontal battle. Even if the armor is wet and heavy, it is difficult for you to break through the defense!
However, Ba Mudan still didn't have any intention of retreating, and kept shouting the glory of Tianzhu God, like a leader of the oblique sect.
However, the natives of South Vietnam really do this.
All of them fought so bravely, and even some South Vietnamese soldiers in the Han army were a little timid.
They are not afraid of killing their own race, but they still have some respect for Tianzhu God.
Seeing that Ba Mudan was so persistent, Liu Ke immediately realized his purpose.
I'm afraid that Zhang Yiping has already arrived at Changshan and is leading his army to attack the Han army camp at the foot of the mountain.
In this way, the supply of the Han army can be completely cut off.
As long as the Han army is trapped in the long mountain, and the South Vietnamese natives in the mountain are besieged, the main force of the Han army can be wiped out.
This is the same situation that the Han army was most afraid of before.
It's just that they were afraid that when they entered Jiuzhen County, the South Vietnamese natives would cut off their retreat.
Now they are marching into Changshan, Zhang Yiping made a big detour, and the Jiaozhi soldiers came to cut off their retreat.
"The situation is not good, please Your Majesty to break through as soon as possible!"
"Don't want to kill the enemy, just rush to the big camp at the foot of the mountain, and attack Zhang Yiping back and forth with the soldiers in the camp, this situation can be broken!"
Chen Fujia was drenched all over, with his hair sticking to his cheeks, and braved the heavy rain to find a donkey cart to persuade him.
His force value is 78. Although there are no relevant characteristics, if Hua Chengyu hadn't acquired the [Resistance to Beating] characteristic in the Yizhou Prison, he would definitely not be Chen Fujia's opponent.
Therefore, Chen Fujia followed the army and picked up many heads.
It's a pity that now is obviously not the time to show that the civil servants of the Han Dynasty are able to resist and fight. His 92 intellect can see the disadvantages of the Han army at a glance.
Liu Ke also knew that the situation was not good.
With a sinking of the chessboard spear in his hand, he smashed to death a South Vietnamese native, wiped away the rain that almost blurred his vision, and hissed:
"Follow the plan."
Chen Fujia saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so he had to retreat.
In the battlefield, the sky and the earth seemed to be all mixed together because of the heavy rain.
Everything in front of him looked extremely blurry.
The rain was like a sudden wave, washing the air endlessly, but it couldn't wash away, the smell of blood.
The mountain road was muddy, slippery and wet, and the soldiers' steps kept slipping.
When fighting, not only must guard against the enemy, but every movement needs to be extra cautious.
If you are not careful, you may fall into the mud, and then you will be disturbed by the antler spear.
The flag is not displayed, morale is low, and the battle can only rely on will.
Do your best to get an inch in.
And the whole process of the battle seemed to be intimidated by the abundance of the torrential rain, becoming more intense and cruel.
The blood surged together with the rain, accompanied by angry shouts of killing, and tragic screams, entangled with each other.
In this scorching battle, not only force, but also a little luck is needed to have a chance of survival.
All the generals of the Han army gritted their teeth as they glanced at the donkey carts leading the way.
Fight luck and fight luck!
The emperor was not afraid of the wheels getting stuck in the mud when he was driving a donkey cart. Instead, he took the lead and killed people like hemp.
Are they still worried about bad luck and getting stuck in a mud pit?
But Lu Xun said that if a person is unlucky, he will hit his heel if he farts.
"The reinforcements sent by Tianzhu God are here!"
Ba Mudan was hit by an arrow in his arm, and he was still in a bloody battle, at this moment he suddenly shouted excitedly.
The South Vietnamese natives also looked down the mountain one after another.
I saw a lot of soldiers in armor and ready to go up the mountain in the form of a hundred people.
The leader is Zhang Yiping.
Seeing this, the natives of South Vietnam let out a whimper.
At that time, there was a howling sound in the mountain forest, which was extremely terrifying.
"The camp at the foot of the mountain is broken?!"
Li Jingji, who was behind the army, was shocked.
But since His Majesty put him in the rear army, it means that he also expected this.
Li Jingji cheered up immediately, with the spear in hand, he was unstoppable:
"Your Majesty, don't disturb, there is no need to panic if there is a general who will stop the enemy from coming down the mountain!"
Then he lost.
Good armor, a sharp sword, a month of energy storage, and familiarity with the local terrain.
All these are the advantages of Zhang Yiping's hand in hand.
Even if the fighting power of the Han army was brought to the extreme, it was still facing the enemy, and the situation was not optimistic.
Even the organizational strength and superiority of the military formation that the Han army is most proud of were affected by the heavy rain and could not be commanded properly at all.
It can be said that the quality of the Han army is already high if it is not in chaos.
For a while, the Han army could not be organized into an effective army formation at all, and could only fight bluntly.
Ever since, in the long mountain, in addition to the sound of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, there is also the sound of gold and iron interlacing, the sound of wailing and crying,
In the chaos, they kept killing for a whole afternoon.
The strong wind blows, the rain is pouring, the flesh and blood are splashed, and the layers of withered and yellow dry leaves float together with the rain and blood.
The accumulation of corpses and remnants of broken wood also made the entire battlefield more tragic, making people feel sad.
As evening approaches, the sky gradually darkens.
The rain was not light, but the offensive slowed down a lot.
After all, it was still raining at night, so even if you had the advantage, you couldn't fight.
Ba Mudan and his tribe sneaked into the mountain, Zhang Yiping also let the soldiers retreat to rest and guard the main roads in the long mountain.
The Han army found a high slope and barely had a chance to breathe, but it was only a breath.
The rainstorm night where you can't see your fingers, coupled with the exhaustion of the whole afternoon of fighting, you are too tired to raise your arms.
No one knew how many soldiers were left in the army after the scuffle in the torrential rain.
"Turn into rain, you go and count the battle damage."
Seeing that there was Hua Chengyu beside him, Liu Ke asked him to check the battlefield.
He didn't take off his armor, but looked up at the sky, waiting quietly.
The next news may not be optimistic.
"His Majesty."
Hua Chengyu was shot by an arrow in the waist, but he just dealt with it hastily, wrapped the bag with a cloth, and now it is still oozing blood.
And the big knife in his hand was even missing a corner due to a hard fight.
At this time, this middle-aged handsome guy didn't have much appearance, his hair was messily pasted on his forehead, and the blood color on his face had changed from anger to ferocity.
He gritted his teeth, and the armor on his body also looked tattered.
Liu Ke inserted the chessboard spear into the ground.
The land of Cochin Kingdom is red clay and clay, which is very soft and has experienced heavy rains. With this insertion, several inches were inserted.
He re-wrapped Hua Chengyu in silence, and asked softly:
"What is the current situation of our army?"
Hua Chengyu cried a little more, he resisted the beating, the wound didn't hurt, but his heart ached:
"The big camp at the foot of the mountain has been breached by Zhang Yiping."
"Lord Chen, General Dian, and General Li were all lost in the chaos!"
"So far, no trace has been found."
"There are only five thousand soldiers in our army who can fight!"
In fact, it can almost be regarded as annihilation of the entire army, and it is no wonder that it turned into rain, so sad.
He is 38 this year and has been in the army for 20 years.
Such failures are not uncommon.
When the late emperor was still there, he was used to being defeated.
But this is the first time since the current emperor ascended the throne.
Even defeat, is the first time.
And it's not just an ordinary defeat, the subsequent negative impact is even worse.
Among the 5000 people, there are mainly [-] imperial guards, and there are less than [-] Han soldiers.
The rest are South Vietnamese soldiers who are familiar with fighting in the mountains and have little influence in rainy weather.
If this group of people did not have the checks and balances of the Han soldiers, and seeing the defeat of the Han army, it is hard to guarantee that they would not run away or even mutiny.
If the news spread to the rear, Qiongzhou might become unstable and cause turmoil.
After all, this expedition was to raise food and grass for the people, and also used stocks.
The Han army cannot be defeated. Once defeated, the people's hearts that the big Han relied on to regain their homeland will be gone.
The credibility of the imperial court will also fall to the bottom.
Not only Donghu may have begun to unanimously external from this point, but the Han Dynasty must also be in crisis.
However, the most dangerous thing is the current battle situation.
In the mountain forest, there are South Vietnamese natives headed by Ba Mudan lurking, and at the foot of the mountain, an army led by Zhang Yiping cuts off the retreat.
A wolf before a tiger.
Not to mention turning defeat into victory, even escaping from death would be extremely difficult.
Hua Chengyu hesitated for a while, even finding it difficult to speak: "Your Majesty."
Liu Ke supported himself with a chessboard spear.
There is a chessboard spear, although gods can block and kill gods, and Buddhas can block and kill Buddhas, but human physical strength is limited, and it is not enough to sustain him for an entire afternoon.
"Speak straight."
Hua Chengyu gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, it is better for the last general to lead the troops and rush down the mountain to break through."
Liu Ke couldn't help laughing:
"Zhang Yiping came prepared, how can you lead the army to easily break through?"
Hua Chengyu said unwillingly:
"The last general will lead the troops, just lead the soldiers and horses away. Your Majesty can take the donkey cart and take the opportunity to leave."
This move does work.
Needless to say, the emperor's technique of driving a donkey cart with the remaining soldiers and horses to attract the defenders.
Even on this muddy mountain road, there is no wheel sinkhole, and no one can catch up with others.
It can be said that as long as you have this donkey cart technology, if you can't beat it, you can definitely run it.
In the rain, Liu Ke took a step forward, glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and said slowly:
"Big man, has been running for 20 years."
"In the past 20 years, how many soldiers and people have been left behind!"
"When you get to my place, you can't run anymore!"
Hua Chengyu's face was ferocious, showing a bit of ruthlessness, but the lack of teeth in his mouth made him look a bit funny:
"If Your Majesty insists on doing this, then don't blame the general for being rude!"
As long as the emperor is still there, the big man will still have a turning point.
When the emperor is gone, the big man is gone.
Even if it is replaced by another person, it will not work.
"how?"
Liu Ke chuckled lightly and said, "Do you want to knock me out and find someone to send me out?"
"Uh"
Hua Chengyu was at a loss for words, yes, how could he have the idea of knocking out a mighty emperor and taking him away?
"Can"
"I know the situation is critical."
Liu Ke's expression was as usual: "But why do you want to go down?"
He pointed to the top of the mountain with one hand:
"Is there any opportunity to take down the Changshan Holy Land of the South Vietnamese natives on the top of the mountain?"
"Your Majesty means..."
Hua Chengyu opened his eyes wide: "This is also a way."
"But our army has not gathered the defeated army yet, and there are not enough soldiers and horses. Even if we can deal with the South Vietnamese natives in the mountains and forests, if one is not good, we will be discovered by Zhang Yiping..."
"I know that too."
Liu Ke's expression remained unchanged.
"But if the Changshan Holy Land is captured, the South Vietnamese soldiers in the army can return to their hearts, and our army will also have a stronghold to gather the scattered troops scattered in the mountains and forests, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty, this move is too risky!"
Hua Chengyu gritted his teeth and said again:
"The rain hasn't stopped, it's getting bigger and bigger, and there is no cover on the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to walk."
"One heavy rain has already made our army miserable, if it is a little bigger..."
"How can I not know?"
Liu Ke pulled out the chessboard spear, held it in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, his voice getting louder and louder.
It was originally a secret discussion between the two, but it attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers for a while.
"For me, the soldiers have braved the rain and fought fiercely so far."
"Dead die, scattered scattered."
"Now there are only 5000 people left in the army, but I dare to say that none of the soldiers who are not in the army will abandon me."
"The soldiers did not abandon me."
"How can I abandon my soldiers and escape alone?"
All the officers and men were stunned when they heard about it.
The Han soldiers are okay, they have been limped a long time ago.
But those South Vietnamese soldiers who don't understand twists and turns and are relatively simple are all moved.
But Liu Ke didn't hide, facing the remaining soldiers, he said loudly:
"It's raining tonight, the rain is heavier than at noon, and the vision is more blurred, but it may not be an opportunity for our army!"
"It's all of you who dare not take the risk of climbing the mountain and forcibly take the Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain."
"The Bamutan in the forest and Zhang Yiping at the foot of the mountain are even more unimaginable."
"The enemy can't think of what we do, so we have to do it."
"Climbing to the top of the mountain is certainly a moment of crisis, but if we win the holy land of Changshan, it can turn defeat into victory in the overall situation!"
All the soldiers were startled.
I didn't understand it, and I didn't know how to turn defeat into victory.
However, among them, most of them are the natives of South Vietnam, and they have a sense of belonging to the Changshan Holy Land, so they reluctantly agree with this sentence.
It's just that they are still not very optimistic, and everyone has hesitation on their faces.
Isn't it more dangerous to take the risk of climbing a mountain to take land in the rainstorm?
"I know what you're thinking."
The rain dripped from the edge of the armor, and the clothes inside were already soaked, and when I stretched out my hands, I felt uncomfortable all over.
Liu Ke still held the chessboard spear high, looked around, and said:
"Mountain climbing on a rainy night is difficult."
"It is difficult to take down the Changshan Holy Land after climbing the mountain."
"After taking down the Changshan Holy Land, it is difficult to gather soldiers."
"Even if everything is successful, we still have to face Zhang Yiping's army."
"It's even harder."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, don't you want to start this way?!"
"Even if you can go to the foot of the mountain and successfully break through, what is it like to face the people?"
"The people of Jiuzhen County and Jiaozhi County are still waiting for me to divide the land."
"How can I disappoint their hopes?!"
The soldiers did not know what the expectations of the people had to do with them.
But they were kidnapped by the emperor's morality, and they felt that it made some sense.
Before the soldiers could think about it further, and untied themselves, Liu Ke directly swept across with the chessboard spear, and said coldly to the surrounding soldiers:
"Don't talk about breaking out again, the soldiers have not abandoned me, and I will not abandon the soldiers."
"Take advantage of this rainy night to take down the Changshan Holy Land!"
After all, it was a bloody battle all afternoon.
And the brave appearance of the emperor is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that the emperor took the lead and was kidnapped by morality again, the soldiers didn't say much, they just bowed their heads and took orders.
There is no other way for Hua Chengyu, and he doesn't have the ability to stun the emperor, so he can only follow the crowd and start to organize the army.
Liu Ke knew it would be like this.
After all, there is the destiny of [Flicker] and [Prince and General Xiang Ning has a kindness], if Flicker is lame and calls again, it will definitely drain the last breath of strength from the soldiers.
As for the Han army, the Han army will not only have 5000 people left.
Liu Ke cares more about the soldiers than anyone else.
That was a little family property that he had managed to save, how could he just lose it like this?
If it is really such a big defeat, even if it can win, how can there be spare energy for the Northern Expedition?
The real Han army is naturally not here, and it will not be gathered.
These unidentified South Vietnamese soldiers were left behind on purpose by him.
The current situation is very good.
Anyone who reads it will see that the Han army has suffered a disastrous defeat, and they will have the thought of beating the dog in the water.
In this way, someone will attack.
Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Ke mentioned that he had rested for a while, and with the strength he had accumulated, he drove a donkey cart to the front of the soldiers.
In the darkness, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and his voice was not very clear in the rainstorm.
But it can penetrate people's hearts.
"The prosperity of the emperor has its own destiny. I retreated to Donghu with tens of thousands of people. Now I meet this small bandit in the mountains and forests and avoid it. What face does it have to return to Chang'an to defend the four poles?!"
"In today's battle, the one who wins the mountain wins. The thieves have already occupied the mountain. I and you will take it together!"
