- Hua Rong shook his head and said: "The prince's order to us is to prevent the Yue people and barbarian soldiers from escaping, not to let us attack the Yue people and barbarian soldiers. (Baidu Search Literature Gallery) You lead three thousand people around to the back of the barbarian barracks. If If the barbarian soldiers escape, you should lead your troops to intercept them. Otherwise, you are not allowed to move lightly. Violators will be severely punished. "
"yes."
The deputy general saw that Hua Rong was not moved, so he had no choice but to clasp his fists and lead the troops and gallop away.
Hua Rong may be able to make temporary decisions, but they absolutely cannot.
Chao Yong only went to Tokyo regularly to report news from the front line. He did not ask Chao Gai for instructions when something happened. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Chao Yong was fully responsible for the military affairs of Daliang.
Chao Yong had full power to decide the movement of the army, and he did not require his generals not to overstep the limit, but gave each general the right to make temporary decisions. However, this decision cannot affect the overall situation. If something goes wrong, you must bear the corresponding responsibility.
The news of Hua Ling welcoming the prince in Tokyo has already spread throughout Tokyo. On that day, people were forbidden to go upstairs. Suddenly a fairy-like woman appeared, and the people in the city were naturally very curious. The gossip tabloid also traced Huafu from that restaurant and found out Hua Ling's identity. The story of Hua Rong Liangshan's miraculous shooting and Hua Ling's beauty falling in love with the hero has become a popular topic in those days.
When Hua Rong and Qin Ming heard about Hua Ling from Hedong, they knew about Hua Ling's choice. Qin Ming could not force it, so he could only let go of the previous agreement.
The Crown Prince¡¯s Mansion also asked someone to propose marriage to Hua Rong. Seeing that her sister agreed, Hua Rong also accepted the Crown Princess¡¯s betrothal gift.
¡°As soon as the prince returns to Tokyo from the south, he will marry Hua Ling.
Hua Rong¡¯s marksmanship was originally outstanding, so Chao Yong asked Hua Rong to command the cavalry. Hua Rong became the uncle of the state again. All the generals under his command felt that Hua Rong was more noble than other generals, and he was usually a little arrogant. However, Hua Rong stayed sober and never did anything rude. Many dynasties suppressed relatives. It was already a kindness for the prince to allow him to continue to lead the army. How could he be ignorant again.
Thirty-sixth Dongdong Lord saw a group of cavalry going around behind the camp, and couldn't help but burst into chaos.
"They are going to attack us. Our camp can't stop the cavalry at all."
"Damn it, we should go into the city and defend Yongzhou with the Yue people."
"Don't panic, don't panic. Even if we leave the camp now, we can't outrun Liang Guo's cavalry. Let's unite to resist them."
"Yes, we can't run away. Even if we run back, the Han people won't let us go. No one in our family can stop the Han army."
"The Han people are afraid of snakes, insects and miasma. We hide in our own mountain stronghold. We are surrounded by mountains and forests for protection. They will not dare to chase us."
"You have forgotten the Han people's spaceships. They can fly into the sky. They can use fire and thunder to blast us without having to walk through the mountains and forests."
"Have you ever seen a flying ship?"
A new round of quarrels has begun again. The Thirty-Six Cave barbarians are from many different ethnic groups, but they have all lived in the Youjiang River Basin for generations, and the cave owners also have official positions in the Song Dynasty. If these people hadn't all learned Chinese, they might not be able to quarrel even if they wanted to.
There are those to fight and those to leave. No result can be achieved by arguing, but no one wants to be the first to leave camp.
There is no doubt that the first one out of the camp will definitely receive a thunderous blow from the beam cavalry. Thousands of cavalry are enough to wipe out all the men in the cave. No one is willing to lead most of the adult men of the tribe to die.
The phenomenon of Yin excess and Yang decay is very serious in Lingnan area. The explanation of the Han people is that the weather is gloomy and the yang energy is vented, which is not suitable for men but suitable for women. The population of Sanliudong is no exception. There are few men and many women, and the men are small in stature. Women are stronger. On weekdays, women work and men rest at home. Only when there is a battle between villages, men will arm themselves to kill the enemy and protect the village.
One hundred thousand barbarians are already the vast majority of adult men in Sanliu Dong. If the entire army is destroyed, Sanliu Dong will definitely be severely damaged and may not be able to recover for decades. What's more, there are Han people and other tribes living around, how can they be given a chance to recuperate?
The people of Thirty-sixth Cave were in a stalemate in the camp for more than half an hour, and the dark heavy infantry of Daliang appeared on the horizon in the distance.
A cave owner pointed at the spaceship in the sky and exclaimed: "Look, there is something in the sky."
"The spaceship must be a Han Chinese spaceship."
"I didn't expect that the Han people really had a spaceship. Damn the Yue people. Kunlun Pass must have been broken by a spaceship. They actually lied to us and said that it was Daliang who attacked Kunlun Pass."
Although Lord Thirty-Six Dongdong also heard about Daliang¡¯s spaceship, many people still didn¡¯t believe it. They live near the Left and Right Rivers and have seen countless boats. It is better to believe that ships can fly into the sky than to believe that Han people can fly.
But now that a huge spaceship appears in the sky, the people in Sanliudong are frightened.?
People in Thirty-six Cave believe in ghosts and gods even more. When many cave dwellers saw the black dragon showing its teeth and claws on the spaceship, they were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move. The owners of Thirty-sixth Dongdong were also furious. They wanted to escape but were afraid that they would not be able to escape the spaceship in the sky, not to mention that there were cavalry on the ground to intercept them.
"How to do how to do?"
"Surrender, we can't defeat Daliang. Look at the men in the cave, who dares to fight against Daliang?"
Thirty-sixth Dongdong Master saw that at least half of the Dongding people in the camp were lying on the ground, and the remaining people standing had their legs shaking non-stop. Not to mention fighting, they had no strength to escape.
Six spacecrafts have been taking turns to take off, scouting the nearby situation.
Hou Jian watched the situation in Yongzhou City from the air for a while. He was suddenly overjoyed and controlled the hot air balloon to come down. He ran to Chao Yong's horse and said happily: "The more people are seeking death, we can watch a show."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "What's going on?"
"The Yue people have blocked all the city gates."
Li Kui grinned widely and said: "These thieves locked themselves up, so I didn't have to chase them. I blew up a gap and chopped them all up one by one with my axe."
Xu Guanzhong said: "It seems that the Yue people are preparing to fight us to the death in Yongzhou and blow up a gap. The Yue people will definitely block it with soldiers and horses."
Hou Jian smiled and said: "Don't blow up, don't blow up. Just now I saw hundreds of elephants in the city in the air, they should be Yue people's war elephants. We use spaceships to blow up the elephants, just to scare the elephants. Hundreds If an elephant goes wild, it will surely burn the city to the ground."
After Hou Jian finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Thinking about the scene, they felt horrified.
There are many wild elephants and tigers in Lingnan. Although the army walks along official roads, they can still encounter wild elephants and tigers on official roads occasionally.
During this period, we also saw a wild elephant going crazy. He rushed towards the army until his body was filled with sharp arrows, and then he fell suddenly in front of the army.
When the cavalry charges, they are intimidating, but when the elephants charge, the ground shakes, and the power is even more frightening. If a god blocks the enemy, it will kill the god, and if the Buddha blocks the enemy, it will kill the Buddha. All obstacles in front of it will be leveled.
Li Kui clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, okay. It would be more fun to let the elephant trample those black monkeys to death. No, I want to go on the spacecraft to see it. It will definitely look good if the elephant tramples the black monkeys."
Xu Guanzhong sighed: "If the Yue people hadn't kidnapped all the people in the city and sent them to the Yue Dynasty, this plan would not have been possible. Hundreds of elephants went crazy. I'm afraid everyone in the city would have been trampled to pieces. ¡±
Sun Lidao: "Will doing this harm Tianhe?"
Li Kui didn¡¯t understand Sun Li¡¯s words, but knew that he meant to stop him, so he glared and said, ¡°What is Tianhe?¡±
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "War is inherently harmful to the world, and there is no need to show mercy to the Yue people. Think of the tragic situation on Guangxi Road. How can those people who were burned to death and plundered be blamed? Come on, build an eight-foot high platform. I We must watch the Yue people perish. Huang Xin, Han Tao, and Peng Qi lead your troops to the west, south, and north of the barbarian camp, and do not allow the barbarian soldiers to break through."
To the east of the barbarian camp is Yongzhou City.
The three of them took the order and left. The deputy army also advanced to a few dozen feet of the city wall to set up a high platform.
Thirty-sixth Dongdong Lord was even more anxious and at a loss when he saw Daliang divided his troops to surround them. He wanted to break out of the encirclement, but saw the eager cavalry around him and lacked the courage. The swarm of insects were leaderless, and they quarreled for a while, watching as they were surrounded by soldiers and horses. Still arguing.
In Yongzhou City, Li Qiande also led his generals to the city to observe the enemy's situation. I saw the troops and horses in neat formation under the city. I was also secretly glad that I was not prepared to fight with Daliang soldiers and horses in the field.
With the division of labor and cooperation of thousands of deputy soldiers, an eight-foot-high platform was quickly built with wooden planks. The platform above was three feet long and wide.
The wall of Yongzhou City is only three feet high.
Chao Yong led his generals to the high platform and had a clear view of the situation in the city.
Six launch silos have also been set up. With Chao Yong¡¯s order, six spaceships took off and flew towards Yongzhou City from an altitude of tens of feet.
Ruan Pingan saw the spaceship coming towards the city wall, and hurriedly said to Li Qiande who was watching the formation: "I'm afraid Daliang will use the spaceship to bomb us again. Please come down to the city and take command. The general can stay behind."
Li Qiande also knew that he was the king of a country and could not take risks lightly. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave the city wall to you."
Li Qiande had just descended from the city when he saw the spaceship flying over the city wall. Instead of throwing fire thunder down, it flew towards the city.
"Ouch"
A dull elephant roar came from the city, as if an elephant was greeting the spaceship.
When Li Qiande heard the roar of the elephant, his expression immediately changed. He got on his horse and ran towards the city wall. At the same time, he shouted: "Order all the soldiers and horses in the city to run towards the city wall. The beams are going to blow up the elephant."?. "
The elephant soldiers were the strongest fighting force of the Yue-Li Dynasty. Although there were many wild elephants in the Yue-Li Dynasty, the elephants' appetite for food was staggering. With the national strength of the Yue-Li Dynasty, they could only raise a few hundred war elephants.
After the army retreated to Yongzhou, Li Qiande ordered all the houses in a neighborhood to be demolished to house hundreds of elephants, preparing to use war elephants to deal with Liang soldiers and horses. It's just that today I suddenly decided to defend Yongzhou, and I didn't think of these war elephants for a while. If the fire and thunder from the beams were really as loud as thunderbolts, it would be enough to frighten the war elephants. Thinking about hundreds of elephants running around in the city, Li Qiande was also frightened.
I originally thought that sticking to it was a clever plan, but now I think it was a big mistake. Failure to drive out all the war elephants would undoubtedly lead to death. In fact, even if the elephants were trapped in the city, they could not find enough food. After retreating to Yongzhou, the elephant soldiers had to drive the elephants out to eat every day and come back after dark. But today's temporary decision to block the city gate and defend Yongzhou did not take the elephant into consideration.
The people behind Li Qiande were so scared that they were about to pee their pants. Anyone who was willing to pass the order followed Li Qiande and ran towards the city wall in a swarm.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Ouch"
"Ouch"
"Ouch"
The spaceship was still dozens of feet away from the war elephant when it started throwing fire mines. They were not trying to kill the elephant, they just wanted to make the elephant go crazy.
The huge explosion frightened the elephants, and they began to roar and crash into the city.
As soon as an elephant soldier walked up to the elephant to appease the elephant, he was slapped by the elephant's trunk and flew several feet away. Blood spurted into the air and he could not move.
Most of the elephant soldiers were frightened by the fire and thunder and were hiding everywhere, so they didn't care about the elephants. The few who did not care about their own lives were whipped away and killed by the crazy elephants.
Although these elephants are well-trained, they make a sound like thunder. But they ran underground, and in the panic, they were just wild. How could they recognize the elephant soldiers who usually fed them.
There were houses blocking the path of the mad elephants, but the elephants would not give way and bumped into them, causing the houses to collapse.
The Vietnamese soldiers resting in the city were even chased by the elephant and fled. No one was willing to stop the mad elephant. A chop or an arrow cannot kill the elephant, it can only make the elephant madr and attack its attacker. Unless there are organized soldiers and horses to resist with guns and arrows. But the soldiers and horses in the city are resting. There was no time to arrange their formations, and the elephants rushed into the city.
The Yue people who were familiar with war elephants all chose to escape instead of dying. No one was willing to sacrifice, so the elephant ran more and more happily.
The 10,000 reserve troops in the city who were preparing to plug the gap were supposed to line up to shoot the mad elephant, but the spaceship in the sky had already flown over them. Throw down the fire thunder.
The huge power of the fire and thunder immediately exploded the Yue people in formation, and the huge sound made the elephants in the city even more frantic, running rampant in the city, chasing the fleeing Yue people.
"Amitabha"
Li Qiande ran up to the top of the city and looked at the hellish scene in the city. He couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name.
The Yue people on the city wall looked at the tragic situation in the city, and their dark faces began to turn white. Many people trembled and knelt on the ground, praying for their yellow dragon to appear.
Li Kui looked at the elephants running rampant in the city from the high platform, but he danced excitedly and shouted: "It looks good. It looks good. This is much better than the elephants performing in Tokyo."
The Tokyo royal family has a white elephant. During court ceremonies, the white elephant will bow to the palace outside Xuande Gate. There are also tame wild elephants performing some shows in Wazili, Tokyo. Tokyoites are not that curious about elephants.
The generals were all people who had been through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so they had nothing to bear when they saw this hellish scene. Let the elephant do the work. It is much more merciful than letting their soldiers and horses fight.
Li Kui suddenly pointed to the city gate and shouted: "Look, there is an elephant rushing towards the city wall, and there is another one behind it."
Everyone looked over and saw an elephant chasing a group of Vietnamese soldiers towards the city wall.
Although the high platform was still dozens of feet away from the city wall, everyone seemed to be able to feel the high platform shaking with the ground. Everyone also knew that this was a psychological effect, but they were still frightened by the elephant's mad momentum.
Fortunately, there is a city wall blocking it, otherwise they would have to avoid it.
Although Chao Yong was invincible, when he saw the elephant's mad momentum, he still thought it would be better to avoid it.
Li Qiande saw an elephant chasing a group of Vietnamese soldiers on the corridor on the city wall, and hurriedly shouted: "Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, don't let the elephant come up."
Seeing this, the Vietnamese soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, and shot sharp arrows towards the corridor.??'s elephant.
"Ouch"
After the elephant was injured, its cry became even louder. Although hundreds of arrows were inserted into its body and its whole body was stained red with blood, it became a blood elephant, but it still rushed to the city wall madly. The big nose waved violently, sweeping the Vietnamese soldiers on the wall to both sides of the wall.
After sweeping out for dozens of feet, he let out a mournful howl and fell down on the city wall.
The first elephant fell, and the other elephant that followed also rushed to the city and continued to sweep away the humans who had killed their companions.
The elephant¡¯s death scream seemed to attract its companions, and many elephants came towards the city wall. There was an elephant sweeping up the area, and the Vietnamese soldiers did not dare to approach and shoot the elephants. I could only watch the elephants approaching the corridor. The smart elephants ran along the corridor towards the city wall, and the elephants behind them also ran up.
Li Qiande escaped the sweep of the first elephant on horseback. When he saw dozens of elephants rushing up behind him, he was so frightened that he fled on the city wall on horseback.
The Vietnamese soldiers on the city wall also fled one after another, but many of them couldn't outrun the elephants. When the elephant caught up with them, they were thrown down the city by their trunks. Some of the Vietnamese soldiers were chased urgently, and they didn't wait for the elephants to move their trunks. He jumped down from the three-foot-high city wall and jumped into the moat.
Chao Yong saw someone swimming out from the moat and said to Hua Rong: "The cavalry is going to capture the prisoners."
Hua Rong waved the flag, and a group of cavalry galloped towards the city.
Soon, elephants appeared on all four city walls. The Vietnamese soldiers on the city walls jumped to the moat outside to avoid the crazy elephants.
Before the elephant was about to stop, the spacecraft dropped several fire mines, causing the elephant to go crazy.
The six spaceships have been divided into three groups, taking turns to take off and bomb the elephants.
The barbarian soldiers didn¡¯t know what Daliang¡¯s spaceship was going to do at first. When they heard the huge explosions, howling elephants, and screams of the Vietnamese soldiers in the city, they thought of the target of Daliang¡¯s spaceship.
Later, they saw elephants appearing on the city wall, forcing the Vietnamese soldiers to jump into the moat, which also verified their ideas.
They knew how many war elephants there were in the Yue and Li Dynasties, and they also knew the power of elephants going crazy. A few elephants can level a village, and a few hundred elephants can wipe out Yongzhou.
A cave owner shouted: "The soldiers and horses of the Yue Li Dynasty are gone, and Daliang is going to deal with us."
"Surrender, I want to surrender. We can't beat Daliang, nor can we outrun Daliang's cavalry. Maybe if we surrender, we can still have a chance to survive."
"Yes, they won't kill us all."
"Surrender, even if you kill us, it's better to keep the tribe's sons."
"Yes, if these men are gone, our cave will be gone too."
There was no quarrel this time. A dozen cave owners ordered the tribesmen not to move, and they personally went out to the camp to ask for surrender. Seeing that the coalition forces had been divided, other cave lords also sent some of the cave leaders out of the camp to ask for surrender.
