Chapter 137 "The Collision of Brutal Force and Wisdom"
In fact, Wututie also knew that inviting soldiers from Burma to come in now would completely lead the wolf into the house. Even if he wins in the future and drives away Xu Shu's army, his life will not be any easier. The ambitious Myanmar King will definitely use this as a threat to force himself to submit: either merge the Ugo Kingdom into the Myanmar Kingdom or allocate most of the territory to them. []
But now that the situation is so urgent, there is no room for Wutu Tie to have other ideas. Anyway, that is a matter for the future. Let¡¯s drive away Xu Shu¡¯s army who want his life first.
Therefore, on the third day after Xu Shu's army broke through the barrier, Wututie sent someone to send a letter of distress to King Mianlan.
When the 56,000 men and horses led by Xu Shu - supplemented by several thousand local soldiers, so Xu Shu's army increased by nearly a thousand men in numerical terms - reached less than six days away from the capital of Ugo, they received The king of Myanmar, who was overjoyed at Wututie's invitation, also personally led an army of 100,000 people and set off. It can be said that this is the largest force he can send. Except for leaving 10,000 troops in his capital and 4,000 or 5,000 troops in one or two important places in case of unexpected events, there are only less than 2,000 troops in other cities. On guard.
The country of Myanmar is located further south of the country of Ugo, with a vast area, bordering the country of Ugo to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south. Now their technology and production levels are very low. It can be said that they are still in a primitive tribal state, and the people make a living by hunting and fishing. There is no essential difference between the common people and soldiers in this country. Like the Ugo country, they are recruited as soldiers and dispersed as hunters or fishermen.
Although the land area of ??Myanmar is very huge, more than ten times that of Ugo, its population is very sparse and its military strength is only about twice that of Ugo.
Precisely because Ugo State has a higher density of "troops" compared to Burmese State, and Ugo State has rattan armored soldiers to rely on. Therefore, although the ambitious King of Myanmar had long wanted to annex the country, he only looked at the country of Ugo and sighed, but could not make up his mind to attack the country of Ugo. He was worried that when he was exhausted from fighting with the Ugo Kingdom, the Central Plains would send troops to gain advantage, and that he would lose a handful of rice instead of stealing a chicken.
Even when Wutugu and his 30,000 troops were captured by Liu Jia, the King of Myanmar at that time did not act rashly. He only increased his troops near the border between the two countries, waiting for civil strife in the Ugo Kingdom, and wanted to easily break in at that time. .
After waiting for so many years, I didn¡¯t expect to have an opportunity given by God. As soon as Xu Shu's army arrived at Wututie, he took the initiative to invite his army in.
In fact, Xu Shu's army was still on its way to the Ugo Kingdom. The King of Myanmar got relevant information. He also analyzed the current situation. He also believed that Wutu Iron was bound to lose: Although Wutu Iron had a city to rely on, They were waiting for work in the country of Ugo. The number of soldiers including the rebels was as many as 60,000, which was more than Xu Shu's army on the expedition. However, Wututie was at a disadvantage in all aspects that determine the outcome of the war, such as popular support, military morale, and strength. Downwind¡.
Therefore, King Myanmar concluded that it was impossible for Wu Tu Tie to defeat Xu Shu. But he didn't expect that level to be broken so quickly.
King Myanmar confidently believed that if he sent an army of 100,000 to the Ugo Kingdom, he would not only be able to block the siege of Xu Shu's army without any effort, but he would also have enough strength to destroy Xu Shu's more than 50,000 troops. This is not only because his army of 100,000 people are loyal to him and obey his orders, but more importantly, he has an army of 10,000 elephant soldiers, including more than 100 elephants. This elephant soldier unit took a lot of effort from him, especially those male elephants covered in armor that were almost made of money. But anyone who has seen the powerful attack power of elephant soldiers will say that it is worth the money. It can be said that the elephant soldiers have been invincible since the day they formed an army. Except for being unable to attack the city directly, he is the unstoppable king in any other battlefield.
In the Ugo Kingdom, except for the capital, which can barely be called a city, there is no other city for Xu Shu's army to rely on. As long as they start to withstand Xu Shu's siege and let their morale decline, ten thousand elephant soldiers and other elite soldiers can Harvest the lives of Xu Shu's army at will. According to King Myanmar's real thought, he could have directly fought a decisive battle with Xu Shu's 50,000-strong army. However, considering the excessive casualties and the need to deal with Wutu Tie's troops in the future, he "suffered" like this.
First, he must defend the capital with Wututie's troops. After Xu Shu's army is defeated, he can go out of the city to eliminate them in Ugo or drive them back to Yizhou.
Xu Shu was eliminated or driven away. That Wutu Iron is not meat in one's hands. Eat it how you want to eat it? After seizing the Ugo Kingdom and recharging our strength for a few years, we might be able to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and occupy several states of the Han Dynasty. That day would be even more beautiful.
The more the King of Myanmar thought about it, the more proud he became, and the more proud he became, the more he thought about it!
After Xu Shu¡¯s army heard that the King of Burma personally led the army, they simply slowed down their pace, and it took three or even four days to complete a one-day journey. On the other hand, he asked Peng Yi and Meng Da who were staying in the rear to quickly transport relevant materials, including grain and grass.?Army camp.
It was not until the large army led by the King of Myanmar was welcomed into the capital of Ugo by the Wutu Iron that Xu Shu ordered the army to continue to advance at a normal speed.
Seeing that Xu Shu¡¯s army finally advanced, the King of Myanmar, who had entered the city, let his troops rest while waiting for Xu Shu¡¯s army to attack the city.
At the banquet celebrating the meeting between the two sides, King Myanmar heard the news that Xu Shu's army was quickly heading towards the capital. Although he was a little doubtful about why Xu Shu had stopped and waited for him to enter the city before setting off, he thought: "Maybe Are they worried that we will attack them from behind and form a pincer attack with Wu Tu Tie? However, now that the number of soldiers on both sides of the city has reached 150,000, how can he still dare to advance? The combat effectiveness of his troops is really so strong that he Do you have this confidence?"
But this doubt disappeared in an instant. Such a magnificent scene appeared in King Myanmar's mind: When Xu Shu's army was helpless in attacking the city, his elephant soldiers suddenly opened the city gate and rushed out, sweeping from the east to the west of the city. . Sweeping from the south to the north, piles of enemy soldiers were turned into meat at the feet of the elephants. Countless wounded soldiers were lying on the ground howling miserably. Many undead soldiers looked at the elephants that were making meat back and forth in a daze. The bloody horror has become their eternal nightmare
How refreshing that would be!
Thinking of this, King Myanmar laughed involuntarily: "Haha"
Wu Tu Tie was raising his glass and pouring wine into his mouth when he heard King Myanmar laughing. He was stunned for a moment and put down the wine cup in his hand in confusion. He looked at King Myanmar and said, "Why is King Myanmar laughing for no reason?"
The king of Myanmar continued to smile and replied: "Haha, I remembered that when Xu Shu's army was attacking the city, if I sent my elephant soldiers out while they were in a tense attack, they would not have flowed into rivers of blood and littered the fields with corpses. ? So I laughed with joy."
When Wu Tu Tie heard this, although he didn't necessarily think it was that funny, he also laughed and said: "Yes, if Xu Shu really dares to come to my city. With the army of the Burmese king here, they will never come back. Haha"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but then the laughter became a bit stiff in the end. After all, it's not easy to pretend to laugh. He grabbed the wine cup on the table again and prepared to drink to hide his inner thoughts.
King Myanmar was in a good mood. Seeing Wu Tutie acting like this, he smiled and asked, "Is there anything unusual about your Majesty?"
Wu Tu Tie gently put down the wine cup again, stared at the wine cup on the table, sighed and said, "Isn't that true? I'm really worried. Normally, now that King Burmese is here, I should be able to sit back and relax. But I don't know. Why do you always have some strange thoughts in your mind?"
"Oh, what strange idea? Can you tell me about it?" King Myanmar was still smiling.
Wutu Railway said: "I always feel that if Xu Shu knew that our 150,000 troops were here and continued to march here, then he would not be the Xu Shu who was rumored to be resourceful. Faced with this kind of Xu Shu who is on the knife's edge. I Even if the king only has 50,000 soldiers in the city, he can defend the capital"
"Haha Your Majesty, don't brag about your fifty thousand soldiers. I think your fifty thousand soldiers can withstand a powerful blow from my twenty thousand soldiers. Besides, aren't the morale of your soldiers unstable? ? What's the use of a hundred thousand soldiers with such unstable military morale?" King Myanmar laughed unscrupulously.
Wutu Tie felt a chill in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He just said lightly: "It is precisely because the morale of the army is unstable that I asked the king to come for help. Otherwise, there is no need for the king to come all the way here."
"Haha, our two countries are as close as brothers, and the king's business is my business. It is my duty to come to rescue the king when he is in trouble. But" King Myanmar suddenly stopped laughing when he said this. , asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want my help to help you destroy those armies that are not loyal to your Majesty?"
"No, no," Wututie, who was not stupid, quickly denied, "Even if there are people who are not loyal to me, they are just thinking about it in their hearts. There is no need to make a fuss. As long as we win the battle, all problems will be solved. solved."
"But if they rebel behind our backs at a critical moment, we will be in trouble." King Myanmar continued to encourage.
"No. Absolutely not."
Wututie immediately said: If I want you to help suppress it, why don't you kill all my soldiers?
"Haha, since the king has the heart of a Bodhisattva, then I will be all over the world. King Myanmar warned sternly, "But I have my words first. If anyone wants to do something behind my back, don't blame me for being rude! "
Although Wututie was scolding his mother in his heart, he still said: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. After all, you are guests. Although we Ugo people are merciless to our enemies, we are still sincere to our friends and guests. .Drink, drink"
King Myanmar laughed, raised the wine cup, and said loudly: "Drink, drink!" He thought in his heart: Humph, guest? It¡¯s still unclear who the guest will be then. I¡¯m afraid that when I become the master of this place, you, the usurper of the throne, will become a dead man with missing parts!
A few days later, a shocking news came from Tanma: Those strutting on the road were not the main force of Xu Shu's army. They only had 15,000 troops and some ordinary people, led by Zhang Liao and Wu Tugu, and the remaining 40,000 troops. Suddenly disappeared. Moreover, this army of more than ten thousand people stopped again sixty miles away from the capital, and was choosing favorable terrain to set up camp.
"Ah? Where are the other people?" King Myanmar yelled at Tanma angrily. Ever since Wutu Tie said at the banquet that day that Xu Shu should not come. The suspicion in his heart became more serious, so he was very concerned about the movements of Xu Shu's army. I was very worried that Xu Shu would not come to attack the city and instead attack his own country, which was empty of troops. How could he not be anxious when he heard that 40,000 troops disappeared out of thin air?
"I don't know! But they were together before. As long as we continue to explore, we will definitely be able to find out their whereabouts." Tan Ma said hurriedly.
"Then what are you still doing here? Get out of here!" King Myanmar said loudly.
Not long after Tan Ma went out, another Tan Ma came in and said in a panic: "Report to the king, Xu Shu's army hasalready"
"What's wrong with him? Hurry up and tell him!" Seeing Tanma, the king of Myanmar gasped and was speechless. In a hurry, he walked a few steps and kicked Tan Ma while scolding him.
Tan Ma immediately felt relieved. He said eloquently: "Xu Shu's army went straight to the border of our country."
"What? Where are they now?" King Myanmar asked hurriedly.
Tan Ma said: "They took the small road along the Green Snake River. Now the army has turned to the main road where we came here, heading straight towards the Golden Monkey City."
The King of Myanmar was startled again and asked urgently: "How far are they from the Golden Monkey City?" That was the King of Myanmar's grain and grass base. Because it was in the rear, the King of Myanmar only arranged for five thousand soldiers to garrison. The food and grass there were the hard work of the King of Myanmar and had taken him several years to accumulate. Originally it was to attack the Ugo Kingdom, but this time it was to drive Xu Shu away and turn against Wutu Tie and then use military rations and relief to the victims to win people's hearts. As for before they turned against each other, of course they were fooled by Wu Tu Tie. So I didn't bring any food and grass with me when I came out. If this base was occupied by Xu Shu, we would be in big trouble. If they don't go back to fight Xu Shu and the others, Xu Shu and the others can use these grains and grass to run rampant in Myanmar; and if they lead their troops back, they can also use these grains and grasses to defend the city, but they will become lonely ghosts with nothing to eat or drink. Li: Oh my god, how did they know that was our grain and grass base?
"They are about six days' journey from Golden Monkey City and about two days' journey from here." Tan Ma said quickly.
The king of Myanmar heard this. Immediately ordered: "Order General Tie Li to lead the Xiang soldiers to pursue immediately. The troops are not allowed to stop until they catch up to Xu Shu! Order General Mu Duo to immediately lead 50,000 elite troops to follow! Don't destroy Xu Shu's army before heading to Golden Monkey City." On the way, General Tieli and General Muduo came to see you!"
It wasn¡¯t until he saw more than a hundred elephants quickly leaving the city, driven by the elephant soldiers, and 50,000 elite soldiers filing away, that the uneasy heart of the Myanmar King calmed down a little.
According to his estimation, as long as the invincible elephant soldiers take action, even if the opponent has more troops, they will be beaten to pieces. The question now is not whether Xu Shu's troops can be defeated, but whether they can catch up with Xu Shu's troops. If you catch up, you will win.
Hearing that King Myanmar sent elephant soldiers and fifty thousand elite soldiers to chase him at night, Xu Shu and Fazheng both laughed. They stood on the roadside on horseback, looking at the wooden unicycles one after another on the road - wooden unicycles, which were also invented by Zhuge Liang, who was so praised by the ancients. They were only "invented by Liu Jia when he was the governor of Zoke." "After it came out, it has long been used for military transportation and ordinary people's homes. Now the locals call it the "eunuch's car" - it squeaks and screams forward, full of confidence in victory.
Xu Shu said: "We are going to win this time. We should ask Zhou Mu Weiyongyan for credit. Wherever our troops are now, the food and grass materials will be there." Peng Yi is indeed good at logistics support. Often praised by the generals he supported.
Fazheng, who rarely spoke much, smiled and said: "If Zhou Mu hadn't built this eunuch's car, Yongyan would have complained endlessly. Yuan Zhi would like to take some credit from Zhou Mu as well."
"Haha. That's what Xiaozhi said." Xu Shu said with a smile.
At this time, Tan Ma came to report: "General Wei Yan has passed through the Water Snake Valley and arrived at the mouth of the southern valley. General Wei asked whether to camp?"
Xu Shu looked at the towering mountains on both sides of the road and said calmly: "Just camp on the road at the mouth of the valley in the south!"
"Yes!" Tan Ma turned around and ran away.
This was the time when Yan, who was urging the soldiers to advance, came over. After hearing Xu Shu's voice, he asked in a low voice: "Camp on the road? Didn't it say that the king of Myanmar sent a large number of elephant soldiers out? And I heard from Samoko's men. The local soldiers said that no one could stop the elephants when they attacked. Zhou Yu's army surrounded Samoko's troops in the wild. General Samoko only used more than 20 elephants to charge Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of soldiers until they howled like ghosts and wolves. This time Burmese King Lan sent more than a hundred elephants. Isn¡¯t it too risky for us to do this?¡±
Xu Shu said: "The reason for camping on the road is to prevent elephants from charging at our team. It should be okay to let more than a hundred elephants deal with their own 50,000 elite soldiers, right? Haha" After saying this, Xu Shu laughed.
Yan Yan did not ask again. He estimated that Xu Shu must have deep meaning in doing this, so he calmly urged the soldiers to move forward quickly.
Xu Shu continued to look at the mountains on the roadside while riding a horse slowly: the mountain road goes along the mountain, more than ten miles long, and almost the same width. Except for a small ditch washed out by mountain streams over the years at the foot of the mountains on both sides, it is relatively flat. Of course, the small ditches on both sides of the road do not always follow the foot of the mountain. Sometimes the two ditches intersect in the middle of the road. Sometimes one ditch crosses the mountain road and merges with another ditch, and then separates after walking for a while. So the mountain road looks a bit bumpy. But the mountains on both sides of the road always sandwich the mountain road. When the mountains are low, people standing on the road will still have a wide vision. When the mountains are high, a majestic landscape of heaven and earth may appear. There is a place where the mountain is too high and the mountains on both sides are covered with trees. Looking straight up from the road, it feels like the two mountains are connected together. The locals quite poetically named this place Tiger Leaping Gorge. The entire valley is called Water Snake Valley, which means that the mountain road passing through the mountains is like the body of a water snake. From the beginning to the end, the width of the mountain road has not changed much, it is basically thirty or forty paces wide.
When Xu Shu and others arrived at the mouth of the valley, Wei Yan and others had already built the camp. Sure enough, he built the camp in the middle of the road. This mountain road leads directly to his camp gate, and the camp gate is flanked by fences made of thick wood. The fence stretched out along the sudden opening of the valley mouth. Now the camp gate is wide open, allowing the follow-up troops to continuously pass through the camp gate and walk out of the valley. There are two rows of guards standing like nails on both sides of the camp gate, and behind them are many horses and deer antlers.
See Xu Shu and others arriving. Wei Yan and Yan Yan rushed up to greet them. Wei Yan said: "The general has already sent people to quarry stones in the surrounding mountains. It will take only two days to quarry stones that can block the mountain road."
Xu Shu said: "Oh, General Wei has already started making preparations? Haha. Okay! By the way, assuming the stones are ready, how long will it take to block this mountain road?"
Wei Yan said seriously: "If the stones are ready and they are just blocking. It will not take an hour, half an hour is enough. But if our soldiers and horses rush out from here to kill the enemy and we are not blocked by these stones, then It will take at least three hours because a long and gentle slope needs to be built with stones.¡±
Xu Shu nodded and said to himself: "Three hours? Such a long time I'm afraid of disturbing the situation."
At this time, Fa Zheng said: "There is no need to build a large and long gentle slope. General Wei can build a tighter fence. When the fence is knocked down, a solid wooden bridge will be formed. We can rush across along this wooden bridge."
Wei Yan heard this. He immediately said: "Yes! We can also build an extra layer of fence. Once the wooden bridge is set up on both sides of the stone wall, it will be no problem to rush up here and down the other side. Our troops will have an unobstructed flow. Good!"
Xu Shu also said: "This is the best! Before the enemy entered the valley, they thought our camp was just an ordinary camp. They would definitely rush towards us without hesitation. When the time comes, we will throw stones and the mountain road will be blocked. .¡±
Yan Yan also smiled and said: "Let them crowd on the mountain road here and let us kill them! Haha"
On the afternoon of the second day after Xu Shu and others carefully designed the slaughterhouse and started to decorate it, the two generals Tieli and Muduo under King Myanmar hurried towards the Water Snake Valley commanding the elephant soldiers and 50,000 elite soldiers respectively. They were less than half a day away from Xu Shu's army, and their forwards had even approached the northern mouth of Water Snake Valley.
The two generals were relieved when they heard that Xu Shu's army had stopped and was encamped on the road.
They asked Xu Shu about the situation in the camp in detail, and Tan Ma explained carefully: "it is no different from the camps they usually see. The only difference is that their fences are made too strong, and the wood is cut one after another. They were tightly put together in a square shape, as tall as a person. The outside could not be seen from the inside, and of course we could not see the inside. But from the camp gate, it seemed that the fence had two layers. It seemed that they had made the fence Wooden wall¡¡±
After Tan Ma finished answering the questions and went out, Tie Li immediately couldn't help laughing: "Haha, they think my elephant soldiers are just a little stronger than ordinary soldiers, right?Even if there are stones between the two layers of wooden boards, I will level their camp. Lao Tzu's elephant only needs one kick. Those fences, no, they should be called wooden walls, turned into pulp. You can trample on your elephant with its antlers and antlers. You can step on it and drag it away with a hook rope. It will open your camp door in just a few clicks. "
After finishing his gesticulating remarks, Tie Li said to the general next to him intoxicatedly: "Haha, Xu Shu is nothing more than that! People from the Central Plains are just idiots."
Mu Duo and several generals immediately laughed in agreement.
But one of the generals hesitated and asked: "Will they attack with fire? Our elephants are most afraid of fire. It makes no sense for them to do this."
"Haha. Do you think this is the Central Plains, where the grass and leaves turn yellow at the end of August and the beginning of September? This is the south. It rained yesterday. The mountains and fields are wet, and the trees are full of green leaves. What do they burn? What do they use to burn it? ?Should we take off our clothes and burn them, or should we take off the rattan armor from the Wutu Bone soldiers and burn them? We came out from this road. Don¡¯t you know that there are creeks on both sides of the road with water in them? Could it be that when they burned the land, we Don't you know how to put out fire with water?" Tie Li looked at the general who asked this stupid question and shook his head with pity, as if to say: You are also the one who leads the troops. Why so stupid?
The general seemed a little unconvinced, and said unwillingly: "What if they block the road with stones and wood to prevent us from moving forward, and then continue to shoot us with bows and arrows. What should we do?"
Mu Duo also smiled and said: "Haha, General, your question is still stupid. Tan Ma also said just now that they are only strengthening the fence and have not thought of using stones and other things to block the road. Even if they have thought of it now. And we We can reach the valley entrance before noon tomorrow. How many stones can they collect and how many trees can they cut down in such a short time? To block us, their stone or wooden walls must be piled wider and stronger, otherwise we will be like elephants. It will collapse if pushed. Unless they ask the gods to help them build an impenetrable wall overnight, then we will have to take a long detour of nearly ten days"
The next morning, the arrogant Burmese army successfully reached the northern entrance of Water Snake Valley. Tan Ma also promptly reported the situation at the mouth of the valley more than ten miles south:
"Report! The situation in Xu Shu's camp is still the same as yesterday. After they learned that our army was approaching the mouth of the valley in the north, they were mobilizing their troops, and many archers were moved to the front."
As the troops deepened, Tan Ma continued to report: "Report! The situation is still"
"Report! There are soldiers throwing stones on the mountain road"
¡¡
After listening to Tan Ma's report, Tie Li laughed again: "Haha, is it too late to throw stones now? We are only a few miles away from their camp and will be there soon. They are throwing stones without even stopping our elephants." You can just rush over.¡±
After laughing, he loudly ordered: "Move forward faster! We must chop off Xu Shu's head today to let the barbarians in the Central Plains know how powerful our Burmese army is!"
"oh¡ª¡ª"
"oh¡ª¡ª"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and even the elephants hummed briskly. Enjoying the joy before victory with the owner who rides on them.
Xu Shu and the others are also paying close attention to the progress of the Burmese army. After hearing the report from Tan Ma that the forward of the Burmese army was only six or seven miles away from the main camp, Fazheng shouted loudly: "Throw stones to block the road!"
The soldiers who had been on standby immediately took action. They were carrying, holding or carrying, throwing stones one by one towards the intersection. Some of the trucks were running happily, continuously transporting the stones from the hidden places. Because the mountain road is not wide and the army is well prepared, it didn't take long for a stone wall more than ten paces wide and half a man tall to be built. Facing the north, there is an almost vertical steep slope to prevent the Burmese army from climbing. To the south is a small section of gentle slope. A strong fence is placed diagonally on the stone wall, making the slope very gentle. Many soldiers are already lying there in preparation.
Soon, the elephant soldiers led by Tie Li arrived. When Tie Li saw the stone wall in front of him, he was a little surprised at the speed of the other party's construction, but he did not take the stone wall of this height into his heart. A wall dozens of feet high must be conquered. This stone wall is as high as one person. What kind of? Soldiers riding on the backs of elephants can exceed this height by throwing some stones and wood under the wall facing them, or building some corpses of soldiers or even letting three or four elephants lie under the stone wall. Stone walls are useless.
After observing the terrain, Tie Li smiled and said to Mu Duo who was following him: "It seems that we are about to make a contribution soon." Then he pointed to the stone wall in front and said, "This general plans to attack with soldiers first, and at the same time use all possible means to attack." The collected stones and trees were thrown down the stone wall, allowing archers to ride on the backs of elephants to suppress the enemy archers hiding behind the stone wall. As long as there is a gentle slope, our elephants can rush over.Our elephant soldiers charged and captured them in one fell swoop. How about it? As long as they charge into a few elephants, they will have no choice but to escape, haha. "
Mu Duo nodded in agreement and said: "This method is good. But"
"But what?" Tie Li asked with a smile.
Mu Duo looked at the mountains on both sides of the mountain road and said suspiciously: "Will the enemy be ambushing on the top of the mountain?"
"Haha, don't worry. The mountain is so steep that you can't climb it. Even climbing up is useless. The top of the mountain is so high and so far away from here. Stones can't roll and bows and arrows can't hit. What are you afraid of?" Tie Li looked at it lightly. Gunshan said confidently.
"Okay! These troops in front are all under the command of the general. I, the general, will urge the troops behind to come up quickly! We will not withdraw our troops until they are eliminated today!" Mu Duo said generously.
Tie Li was not polite and ordered the soldiers to charge as soon as the soldiers arrived.
Suddenly the shouts were loud and the war drums were beating.
The Burmese army squeezed on the road three or four steps wide and rushed forward howling. Behind them were more than a dozen elephants, with a few archers sitting or standing on the elephant's back. They faced the people behind the stone wall. Soldiers fired, providing cover for the charging soldiers. There were more archers in Xu Shu's army, and the arrows they shot fell like raindrops on the crowd of attacking soldiers. However, most of these arrows hit the shields in the hands of the attacking soldiers, causing the shields to clang, but the actual effect was limited. Although a layer of corpses was left on the ground, the pace of the attacking troops did not stop at all. signs, they continued to approach the low stone wall
