Chapter 435: Vine armor is waterproof and arrow-proof
After returning from another day of siege, Zhang Jia summoned the deputy general who was guarding the camp and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't General Yan back yet?"
The deputy general shook his head helplessly. According to the agreement between the two generals, Yan Yan should have come back by this time, but there has been no news yet. Yan Yan has not returned yet, her jaw is open and her brows are furrowed, wondering what happened.
"General, the fake fort on the Waishui River has been completed, are you following the plan?" He stood in deep thought with his jaw open, and there was no movement for a long time. The deputy general could only ask: "All the equipment is ready, and there are soldiers on the upper reaches of the Waishui River to cut off the river."
After being reminded by the deputy general, Zhang Jia suddenly said: "The plan remains unchanged. According to the general's instructions yesterday, we will send troops and horses out of the camp."
"Promise." The deputy general clasped his fists and received the order, and immediately began to dispatch soldiers.
"Zhang Jia, however, is still worried about Yan Yan's affairs. He has no contact and can't see anyone. Could it be that this trip has exposed the truth.
It was not until late at night that Zhang Jia fell asleep due to exhaustion. At this time, Yan Yan, who lived in Wu Tu Gu Dazhai, was not sleepy at all. Through the wooden window, he could see the southern barbarian soldiers dancing and shouting lively, and the barbarian general was tearing meat.
"Tomorrow is the day to send out troops. I don't know if Jun Yi Na's plan will change." Yan Yan lay on his side on the stone bed, with the same thoughts flying in his mind. If he wanted to successfully resolve this rebellion in central Shu, the Nanman soldiers were the most important at the moment. One ring.
Yan Yan didn¡¯t sleep well until half past midnight in the morning. When his soldiers walked into the room and said that Wu Tu Gu had begun arranging their troops to leave the mountain, he reluctantly wiped the corners of his eyes and got up.
"General Yan, why didn't you sleep soundly last night?" Although Wu Tu Gu went to bed late, he was very energetic when he woke up early in the morning. Seeing Yan Yan's sleepy expression, he immediately asked with a laugh.
This is not the first time he has stood in front of Wu Tu Gu, but Yan Yan can still feel the pressure coming from the other side. This is the barbaric aura from fighting with evil beasts for many years.
Yan Yan took some water from a bucket on the side, poured it on her face, and then wiped it with her sleeve. Yan Yan felt much better. Hearing Wu Tu Gu's question, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to have a fierce battle with that jaw today. How can I sleep peacefully?"
Yan Yan's words were tantamount to losing his morale, but Wu Tu Gu smiled instead of getting angry: "You Han people only know how to play tricks. If you want to fight head-on, how can you be my opponent? Haha." Haha~~¡±
"Yes, yes, yes." Yan Yan deliberately showed weakness and immediately bent over and responded with a grimace.
After laughing for a long time, Wu Tu Gu finally said: "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain now." After saying that, without waiting for Yan Yan, he strode towards the entrance of the village with a group of barbarian soldiers behind him.
Although there are many people going down the mountain, the speed is not slow at all. This is also because the barbarian soldiers are accustomed to life in the mountains and forests. When walking here, their traveling speed is slightly faster than in peace.
But even so, when Yan Yan and Wu Tu Gu left Emei with the barbarians and approached the outer water, it was already noon, and it was only about half a day's walk from the fake stronghold where Zhang Jaw had set up.
"Look, Barbarian King, the camp on the other side of the river is Zhang Jia's camp." That night, Yan Yan finally arrived at the destination with Wu Tu Gu, pointing to the opposite camp with his right hand, and whispered.
"My sons, follow me across the river to kill the enemy!" Now that they have reached the end of the field, Wu Tu Gu immediately shouted.
"No, no. Although the outer water is not as deep as the Yangtze River, it is still a foot deep. How can we cross it?" Seeing Wu Tu Gu shouting like this, Yan Yan quickly grabbed him and whispered: "We might as well go downstream." , built more than a hundred bamboo rafts, crossed the river and attacked the enemy camp again."
"No need, I will open your eyes today!" Wu Tu Gu shook his head in disdain, patted the rattan armor he was wearing, and said: "With this precious armor, we will be as smooth as the ground when encountering water. Come, give it to Yan One for the general, let him put it on so he can keep up with me."
"This is it?" Soon a barbarian soldier took out a piece of rattan armor. After Yan Yan put it on, he didn't feel any difference, but the next moment, what he saw in front of him made his expression suddenly change.
"Just when he was changing his armor, hundreds of barbarians had already entered the water. They were floating on the water. They didn't need to swim at all. They just used their hands as paddles and moved forward.
"Let's go, don't move now, when are we waiting?" Wu Tu Gu patted Yan Yan and stepped into the water himself. With his size, he could completely ignore the river as long as he didn't go to the deepest part in the center.
At this time, Yan Yan had no choice. He couldn't swim, so he could only step into the river. However, he soon discovered the magical effect of this rattan armor. It was not afraid of water and could make people float on the water. sinking.
With this precious armor on her body, Yan Yan¡¯s face does not look good, for no other reason.He and Zhang Jia's plan was to lead these barbarian soldiers into the fake stronghold and attack it with water. And now that all the barbarians have one of this waterproof rattan armor, what effect can water attacks have? Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Yan Yan's forehead.
Fortunately, it was night now, and Yan Yan¡¯s face could not be seen clearly even with the protruding bones beside him. In this way, Yan Yan followed Wu Tu Gu with a heavy heart and swam across the outer water to the other side.
"Master of the Cave, this is Chukong Village!" As soon as Wutu Gu came to the east bank, soldiers under his command came to report. At the same time, there were several barbarian soldiers who had come ashore early in the morning and were staring at Yan Yan dissatisfied.
"Empty stronghold?" Wu Tu Gu frowned, but walked directly in. With the faint moonlight, he saw that the entire stronghold was empty, with only a few large tents and broken utensils scattered in the corners, and his expression changed. Looks good.
"What's going on?" He turned to face Yan Yan and asked in a deep voice.
"This, before this was the place where the Zhang Jaw Army was stationed, how could everything be gone?" Yan Yan didn't dare to reveal his secrets at this moment. He looked shocked and spoke in surprise.
Wu Tu Gu snorted coldly, grabbed Yan Yan's lapel, and asked angrily: "Then what should we do now? Where did the open-jawed soldiers and horses come from? Could it be that your lord is bullying me!" As if Yan Yan didn't give him a reasonable explanation, It's like killing people directly.
"Let go of my general." When the two soldiers saw Yan Yan being coerced by Wu Tu Gu, they also forgot about the unequal fighting power between themselves and the other party, and one on the left and the other on the right wanted to force him to let him go.
"You bastard, you dare to yell in front of me." Wu Tu Gu cursed angrily and was about to attack the two pawns, but at this moment, a "boom boom" sound suddenly came out, making him slow down a bit. point.
"What's going on?" He let go of Yan Yan, Wu Tu Gu walked to the gate of Dazhai and shouted, "What's the noise?"
The sound came very suddenly, and there were no bells or drums around, so no one could answer the question of Wu Tu Gu. However, when Yan Yan heard this sound, he immediately had the answer. The water upstream was coming.
"Water, it's water~~" As the flood approached, some barbarian soldiers finally discovered something unusual in the upper reaches. The huge waves coming in were not like those that could appear in ordinary small rivers.
But only then did I realize that it was too late. Half of the barbarians had entered the empty fake stronghold, and the remaining half were soaking in the river. No one could hide and could only watch the river rushing towards them, flooding the river. Over your head.
"Boom~~~" The water waves crashed down, directly destroying the fake village built in the low-lying area specially chosen by Zhang Zha. Everyone, including Wu Tu Gu and Yan Yan, were swept into the water waves.
"You, you are not a general under Yong Kai's tent, you are a man with an open jaw!" Although Wu Tu Gu was tall, he was not stupid at all. There was only one possibility in this situation, and that was that there was an ambush by enemy soldiers.
"So what?" Floating in the water, Yan Yan said coldly: "If you hadn't been wearing rattan armor, all the barbarians would have been dead at this moment."
"I, I'm going to kill you!" When Wu Tu Gu heard the words, veins popped up on his forehead. Just as a soldier under Yan Yan's tent was washed to him by the waves, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the soldier's hand. Just tear it off with your feet.
The beast-like strength and beast-like killing methods add a heavy touch of scarlet to the originally turbid river water around him. The soldier who was caught by Wu Tu Gu didn't even have a chance to call for help, so he was brutally cut into pieces.
"General, take off your armor to escape!" At this time, another soldier quickly protected Yan Yan and said urgently.
"Wutugu, if I don't die, I will take your life!" Yan Yan's eyes were bloodshot, but he also knew that at this time, he was surrounded by the enemy and there was no way to avenge his own soldiers. He immediately pulled off the vine armor with one hand and let the water roll hit him, taking him under the water.
Wu Tu Gu and his barbarian soldiers were wearing rattan armor. Although they were attacked by the river, they were not fatal and were just washed away. Yan Yan was not aware of this variable before, and Zhang Jia was even less aware of it.
When he led his archers to ambush on both sides of the river, he found that eight out of ten barbarians were fine, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Whoosh~~~" The bows and arrows flew, and they opened their jaws, hoping to take advantage of the fact that the barbarians who were in disarray and being washed away by the flood were unable to resist, and harvest their lives. Unexpectedly, when the flying arrow fell, there was only a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound.
"Actually, you are not afraid of bows and arrows? What kind of armor is that?" Zhang Jiao's expression changed. Not seeing Yan Yan made his heart sink. Now that the enemy soldiers were floating on the water, they could not be shot to death, but it made him feel terrified. It's cold.
"Damn Han people, I will definitely kill you all!" Wu Tu Gu was huge, and it goes without saying that the most bows and arrows were shot at him. If he hadn't had the strength to dodge, he would have been shot into a hornet's nest long ago.
¡°My sons, those who still have the strength, follow me and kill them!"With the protection of rattan armor, the barbarians did not suffer much damage, and they often writhe in the mountains and play in the water. Although their combat power is damaged now, they are not without the power to fight back.
After Wu Tu Gu gave an order, many barbarians had already stood up on the river bank.
"Retreat!" Before he could figure out the usefulness of the opponent's armor, Zhang Jia didn't want to engage in a rash battle and immediately led his troops to retreat.
Although Wutu Gu had the intention to chase after him, he was washed away by the flood for half a mile. He was definitely dizzy and exhausted. When he saw that his jaw had receded, he sat down on the ground, his shoulders shaking, and he gasped loudly.
"Cough cough~~ cough cough" At this moment, downstream of the outer water a mile away from the river bank where Wutu Bone was located, Yan Yan turned over and lay on the stone beach on the bank, spitting out the river water that had been poured into his stomach, Yan Yan He forced a wry smile. It was a surprise that he, who could not swim, was able to survive the impact of the river water.
