Chapter 3: No Compromise!
Yun Zheng, who had just returned to the military village, had not had time to ask who was chasing after Xiaolin, when he heard the bowstring of the crossbow arrows above his head buzzing, and looked through the gap in the gate of the village that had not yet been closed, and found that there was already a person on his back.
Ran to the walled wall and hid behind the giant shield to peek in, the pre-trimmed open space was crowded with the Jiaozhi cavalry who had no time to retreat, the cavalry in front of them turned over on their backs, and the cavalry behind was still pouring in.
What's going on? No matter how stupid a general is, he would not do such a brainless stupid thing, and the cavalry ran into the mountains, and this one alone was enough to hang the commander a hundred times.
Liang Ji gasped and said: "Xiaolin picked up Li Dezheng's golden armor and scolded in front of the battle, Li Rizun who had just arrived here went crazy, the whole army was escorted, and all the cavalry chased after him, as soon as we saw that something was wrong, we naturally started to run away, and we were almost caught up, general, you said that he made Li Rizun crazy, will the brothers be in danger?" ”
Only then did Yun Zheng understand why these people rushed forward desperately, this order was issued under the condition of Li Rizun's fury, no wonder it had such an effect.
There are not many cavalry in Jiaozhi, but their war horses are better than those of the Great Song Dynasty, and the war horses raised in the south are generally unbearable to last, because once the war horses reach the south, as long as they run violently, it is easy to have sweat in the body that cannot be discharged, and eventually increase the burden on the heart and die.
However, the war horse of the Cochin people came from the stallion of the Great Food, and gradually spread to Cochin after the formation of a new stallion in Tianzhu, and its well-proportioned and tall body, very smooth and beautiful body, agile and moving ears, as well as its keen head and kind expression, are all very distinctive, and also reflect its obedient and obedient character.
But such a horse is very precious, and the warriors who are not the bravest in Cochin are not qualified to ride it, so now the elite of the Cochin army are crowded in this clearing.
The vicious Zhou Tong had ordered the set up catapults to start throwing gunpowder bullets at the farthest distance, and those gunpowder shells intensified the panic of the war horses, neighing and jumping in the crowd. Trying to get out of this terrifying place.
The edge of the clearing was shrouded in a barrage of gunpowder shells, and the cavalry watched as the sparkling black iron eggs landed on their bodies or feet, and then let out a loud roar.
Canisters filled with fire oil were also thrown into the crowd, and the more than 3,000 cavalry and their own horses crowded here seemed to dance in flames. Dancing and dancing, you will fall into the flames, and the front of the gate of the village, which was still green grass just now, has now become a hell on earth, and the pungent smell of fire oil mixed with the stench of barbecue hangs over the entire valley.
By the time the cavalry had managed to escape from the area, peace had finally been restored in front of the gate, which was littered with corpses that had been burned or blown up, and the corpses of many people had been melted together with the corpses of horses due to the scorching fire. Forming a variety of strange landscapes, this moment is the most comprehensive interpretation of the cruelty of war.
Such a scene was not very unbearable for Wu Shengjun, and the scene in front of the hot spring pass was even more terrifying than here. However, when Liang Ji stood behind Yun Zheng with a big bowl and ate noodles, it still made Yun Zheng's heart feel sullen.
The Khmer spies have returned. Ye Su told Yun Zheng that now the outside of the valley is full of people, and the mountains and fields are full of Jiaozhi soldiers, and there are too many banners to count, and some soldiers have begun to cut down the grass and trees on the peaks on both sides, and once these plants and trees are cleared, the people's attack will begin. Not only that, but there were also Cochin people on the side of the valley who entered the forest, and as Yun Zheng thought beforehand, these guys planned to outflank.
The Khmer people didn't know how to calculate the amount of work, and they didn't know how long it would take for the Cochin people to clear the mountains and forests, so Yun Zheng had to send his own military marquis to accompany the Khmers. From now on, every second of time must be cherished.
The bloated merchant team and the logistics battalion of the Wusheng Army were tasked with transporting supplies, and watching them slowly walk into the forest, everyone in the Wusheng Army was extremely worried, there were too many things. It's too heavy, and the slower they walk, the more time they need to hold on.
But these things are the purpose of coming here all the way, and now, only to fight to the death, otherwise everything I paid before will be in vain.
In an environment where the world is hostile, it has become a luxury to want to sleep peacefully, and Li Rizun, who has woken up from a state of rage, is still a qualified commander, and the continuous harassment has made the military village not have a moment of peace.
There are even some wild men wearing animal skins and holding machetes barefoot and machetes in their hands will climb over the cliff and attack the Wusheng army fiercely, although the damage they caused is very small and can even be ignored, but the enemy attack is an enemy attack after all, and it cannot be guarded against.
In order to prevent these capable savages from climbing over the cliff, Yun Zheng ordered people to wrap the crossbow guns of the Eight Ox Crossbow around the oil cloth, light them and order them to the cliff to illuminate them, and once they found that there were savages climbing over, they immediately greeted them with crossbow arrows.
Yun Zheng had a headache when he thought of those Jiaozhi people who entered the forest, if this was not a tropical rainforest, he would order a fire to burn down the forest here, and let the mountain fire block a wave of enemy troops for him.
In the end, I still underestimate the Cochin people, they can establish their own country here, and become the overlord of this land, they do have their own way to success, just look at those Cochin people who do not care about life and death, moths attack like fire, you can understand that these samurai are actually qualified soldiers.
As for the great victory he achieved in Thang Long City, in fact, it was the victory of gunpowder weapons rather than the victory of people, when the Suzaku Gate was blown up and flew up, the scene of the explosion of Tianwei made all the Jiaozhi people feel that such a Song army was invincible in their hearts at the same time, so there will be a scene where most of the Jiaozhi people threw away their weapons and hugged their heads and ran away.
Poor people fight wars with the spirit of not being afraid of death, Wu Shengjun is a rich man, there is really no need to exchange life for life, so Yun Zheng is now working hard to exchange equipment for the lives of Jiaozhi people.
After dawn, the Jiaozhi people who had been noisy all night finally quieted down, there were still a few corpses nailed to the cliff on the cliff, the corpses in front of the military village were piled up more, the narrow mountain road was destined to be unable to transport large siege equipment, and the rattan brand that the Jiaozhi people had always trusted did not have much protection in front of the gunpowder bullet, especially the phosphorus fire that was sprinkled in the sky after the crossbow arrow with white phosphorus was shattered by the gunpowder bullet, and it would become a life-threatening Yama when it touched the body.
Liang Ji and Xiaolin, who had a good night's rest, went to the mountains on both sides to replace Wu Jie and Zhou Tong, this is the most important position, if the mountains on both sides are lost, Yun Zheng's military village stuck in the canyon will become an ornament, and he can't retreat if he wants to.
Whether it can hold for seven days depends on the defense of the mountain, so Yun Zheng will send the bravest general to hold the military stronghold here.
According to the calculations of the Marquis of Wushengjun, it will take at least four days for the Jiaozhi people to remove all the trees on the two sides of the mountain, which will only be done if they are cleaned up day and night, and Wushengjun will not come to make trouble. As for the Cochin army that entered the forest, Yesu thought that it would be impossible for those people to find the right way in the dense jungle, and it would be good if they could save their lives.
Yun Zheng pointed to the savages who were nailed to the cliffs: "The Khmer people are the masters of the jungle, and I think these people are too." ”
Yesu glanced at it and smiled: "Those people are not Jiaozhi people, they are slaves, called "Wu Nu" are trafficked from far away, some Jiaozhi nobles like it very much, but the number is definitely not much. There are many kinds of forests, this is Lin Mang, it is my home, we are the hosts, and the rest of the outsiders are guests. ”
Yun Zheng chose to believe Yesu's words, he didn't plan to come to Yesu's home again, even if Yesu said that the cooked crocodile head, the crocodile eyeballs were a peerless delicacy, he didn't plan to come again, unless the palace of the Cochin people was once again full of treasures.
The military village has become a lot quieter, the merchants led two hundred elephants into the jungle, Yun Zheng can even imagine that this jungle road is now walking day and night with a large number of people and horses, the first person to set off was ten days ago, and now I am afraid that half of the journey has been walked, and the last caravan to go is the caravan that left last night, as long as they all go into the jungle, even if the Jiaozhi people want to catch up, they can't catch up, Yun Zheng doesn't believe that Li Rizun dared to rashly lead his troops into Lin Mang without preparation.
The appearance of the rising sun always makes people happy, a small group of people appeared at the foot of the mountain, a Jiaozhi official wearing a golden official robe appeared on the path, the leading one was holding a banner of the Jiaozhi royal family, and the people behind were also wearing strange clothes, and the eunuch Wu Yuntai, who wanted to follow the army to act together, pointed to those people and said strangely: "They sent envoys, general, slaves and maids have seen Jiaozhi envoys before, this is what they look like." ”
Su Xun twisted his beard and said, "Could it be that you are here to negotiate?" Planning to go back to Li Dezheng? Li Rizun shouldn't do this, his father won't do him any good after he goes back. ”
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "It's just a matter of playing with them to delay the army, we need time very much now." ”
Yun Zheng's face was not good-looking, and when those people walked into the military village, he said to Zhou Tong: "Order the crossbow arrows to shoot, kill these people, they are indeed playing a delaying strategy, but it is we who suffer, once the spirit of the soldiers relaxes, it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, we can only use the stupidest way now, ignore the enemy, and try our best to drag on for seven days, we will win." ”
Zhou Tong nodded, waved the flag in his hand, and flew down with a rain of arrows, the envoy and the dozen or so people who traveled with him didn't seem to know martial arts, screamed and were caught up by crossbow arrows, and fell to the ground one by one.
