Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 70 There Are Elephants in Yuzhou

The boundless murky water had ceased to rage, and slowly flowed down the mountain, with only all kinds of debris floating helplessly on the water, as if telling of the terrible catastrophe that had occurred a few days earlier.

A man in black wearing a bamboo hat was standing on the side of the mountain, looking at Zeguo under the mountain in a daze, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Why does the gentleman sigh?" Zhang Liang's voice came from behind, and there was a hint of joy in his tone: "Now that the flooded Han army is a great victory, why does Mr. seem to have some melancholy?" ”

"I'm doing evil! What is there to be thankful about using a natural disaster to redeem a victory? Mr. Zhi said lightly: "I'm afraid it will break my yang life!" ”

"Sir, but I'm a member of the Daomen, how can I believe the cause and effect theory of those Buddhist bald donkeys?" Zhang Liang was slightly displeased and said: "If there is really retribution, then Nanying burned 20,000 horses under my command with a fire, he should have died a long time ago!" ”

"That's right, that's why the Southern Eagle has this flood! Isn't that retribution? Mr. Zhi sighed softly, turned around and said, "Okay, don't say this again!" In fact, although I was the one who caused the flood, even I didn't expect it to rain! The power of this flood has far exceeded my expectations! What is the situation of losses on both sides? ”

Zhang Liang's face also became heavy: "Peng Tuo has already driven a small boat to investigate the Han army camp, and he still hasn't returned. Although the 30,000 soldiers of our army have long been ready to be transferred, the losses are still not small, at least 3,000 soldiers are missing, and it is estimated that they are all more auspicious! ”

"What!" Mr. Zhi couldn't help but take half a step back, and said in a lost voice: "How can there be such a big loss!" ”

"There aren't many people swept away by the flood!" Zhang Liang said bitterly: "The real cause of the loss is the large-scale landslide on the hillside, when our army was moving to the mountain, there were mudslides in many places, and I saw with my own eyes that more than 100 brothers were buried alive in an instant, and there was no way to save them!" ”

Mr. Zhi's face was still caged under the bamboo hat, and he couldn't see his expression, but the sunshade of the bamboo hat was windless and automatic, revealing the vibration in his heart.

Zhang Liang comforted: "Sir, don't blame yourself, if you can really annihilate the Han army, the sacrifice of these brothers is still worth it!" ”

The long laughter of "hahaha" came from afar, and Peng Tuoda walked over.

He bowed his hand to Mr. Zhi and Zhang Liang with a spring breeze on his face and said, "The last general has seen Mr. and General Rengong, and he is very happy!" ”

"Oh? Have you come back from the Han camp? The two of them perked up at the same time: "Tell me how the situation of the Han army is?" ”

"The last general has been looking for the two large camps in front and behind the Han army, but when he sees the vast water, where can he still see half of the living Han army?" Peng Tuo laughed wildly and said: "This time, I will send that Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Nanying into the belly of the fish together!" ”

A look of ecstasy flashed across Zhang Liang's face.

Mr. Zhi said unhurriedly: "Don't talk about these nonsense, I want to know the specific situation!" Did you see the corpse of the Han army? ”

"This!" Peng Tuo was stunned and said: "I saw it, but I only saw about a few hundred floating corpses of the Han army, and there were many corpses of war horses!" ”

He suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, the last general also found that a large number of war horses have not been drowned, there are as many as three or four thousand, and they are struggling in shallow water, so the last general is ordering people to rescue them, and this can be regarded as earned!" ”

Mr. Zhi was unaware of his words, and frowned, "Only see a few hundred corpses? Something is wrong! The Han army is nearly 20,000 people! Did they escape? ”

"Sir can't help but worry too much!" It was Zhang Liang who spoke, and he said disapprerovingly: "Although Mr. is resourceful, he doesn't know much about soldiers. The general thought that it was normal not to see many corpses of the Han army! ”

"What a reason! Tell me about it! Mr. Zhi not only did not think he was angry, but he was curious: "Why is it normal not to see the corpse?" ”

"Let's leave aside the possibility of washing the corpses elsewhere regardless of how strong the flood was that night!" Zhang Liang said eloquently: "In recent days, our army has blocked the Han army in front and back, and they must maintain a high degree of vigilance under such a disadvantage. ”

He sneered, "In this case, tell me what will happen to their corpses?" ”

Peng Tuo suddenly realized: "I see, of course the corpse wearing heavy armor is sunk underwater!" No wonder the last general didn't see many corpses! ”

Mr. Zhi thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Not bad!" And for good reason! On the contrary, those war horses did not bear the burden, and they knew how to water by nature, and many of them survived! ”

He exhaled softly and said, "It seems that there should be nothing wrong!" The Han army has been completely annihilated! However, it is still necessary to take a closer look at the area close to the mountains, and I am afraid that some of the Han army will escape into the mountains! ”

"Sir is still overthinking!" Peng Tuo smiled and said: "The last general has also inspected the side of the mountain, but he saw that there are also landslides everywhere, and the scene is not terrifying!" If there is really a Han army who wants to escape to the mountain, I am afraid that they will die even worse! ”

"Excellent! Now I'm really relieved! Mr. Zhi remembered what happened to the Yellow Turban Army mentioned by Zhang Liang, and finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and he said calmly: "Now please General Peng immediately contact Bocai and Zhang Mancheng in the north, and ask them to immediately requisition ships to transport grain and grass materials here, and before that, we will rest here for a few days!" ”

"Wait to replenish the grain and grass!" He slowly raised a hand, clenched it into a fist and said, "That's when our army sends troops to Yingyang!" ”

After Zhang Liang and Peng separated, Mr. Zhi turned around again, faced the vast water and said, "Nanying, I hope you are really dead!" Otherwise, I will still be unable to sleep at night! ”

An inexplicable chill suddenly hit, and Nanying couldn't help but have a cold shiver, could it be that he got cold after being drenched in rain and soaking in water that night? But it's been a few days, and with his super physique, he shouldn't have such a long cold incubation period!

He emerged from the shack made of branches and grass, and shouted, "Come, bring a bowl of hot soup!" ”

"Yes!" A pro-soldier quickly brought a bowl of piping hot rice soup.

Nan Ying drank it all in a few sips, wiped his mouth and said, "What about Gao Feng?" Let him come to me! ”

"The last general!" Gao Feng's voice immediately sounded from behind him: "Please show the general!" ”

Nan Ying was startled, and almost knocked over the bowl: "Why are you a stinky boy like a ghost?" I want to scare people to death! ”

Gao Feng said aggrievedly: "That's how the general trained us in the mountains at the beginning, and he had to be punished after being discovered by you, I ......"

"Smack" Before he finished speaking, he had already received a heavy slap on the head.

Nan Ying glared and said, "You're fat, aren't you?" Dare to talk back! Stand up straight! ”

"Yes!" Gao Feng reluctantly stood up and said: "The end will come here, there is something important to report!" ”

"Needless to say! Looks like you and I want to go together! Nanying touched his stomach: "It's that the food is almost finished, right?" I don't know how many days it will take to get out of this stretching mountain, so we have to find a way to solve the problem of rations for the soldiers first! ”

"It's a pity that I didn't bring Brother Yang Kun!" He stretched, "Only do it yourself!" Go and gather all the Eagle's Nest brothers, find some Orion-born soldiers, and let's improve the food! ”

Hundreds of Eagle's Nest subordinates quickly gathered, and in the stunned eyes of the onlookers of the Han soldiers, they took off their standard armor as if no one was around, changed into their own tight black clothes, and then untied the damp bowstring on the longbow and threw it away, and took out the dry brand new long string from the sealed iron cylinder around their waist and connected it to the bow neatly.

With a series of firm and rapid announcements, Gao Feng finally took a step forward and shouted: "General Yang Zhonglang, all 147 members of the Ranger squad have been assembled, and the last general is on standby!" ”

Ranger Squad, this is the temporary name given by Southern Eagle to his subordinates in the Eagle's Nest. After nearly two months of fighting in the south and the north, 53 of the 200 Eagle's Nest warriors have sprinkled their blood on the battlefield.

Hundreds of Orion-born soldiers were also selected and stood in dense positions behind the Ranger squad.

This formation obviously suppressed all the ordinary soldiers of the Han army, not only the soldiers of the fifth school of the Northern Army gathered together, although the soldiers of the rear army were far away, there were also soldiers who came to see the excitement, and finally even the senior generals such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were alarmed.

"Please take a break! Tell me about it! As soon as Nan Ying spoke, there was a "hula" below, and the soldiers of the ranger squad immediately changed to a standing posture, and their uniformity made Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"You haven't practiced for a long time, and in order to avoid itchy skin on your body, Ben has arranged a practice for you!" Nanying's powerful words clearly reached the ears of every warrior, "I order you to work in groups of five, take ten brothers with Orion experience, and hunt the mountain beasts freely!" ”

The rangers all smiled lightly, and when they were still commanders, they came up with some fancy ideas, it turned out to be hunting! This is the pastime after the brothers practiced hard in the Eagle's Nest in the past!

"Laugh? You're going to have to cry right away! Did I say the amount of tasks? Nan Ying said with a straight face: "Each group does not hunt more than a thousand catties of prey, don't come back!" Even if you complete all the tasks, the least completed set of tomorrow's tasks will be doubled! ”

The rangers' eyes widened in surprise, and they only dared to gasp because of the strict discipline, but the Han army was in an uproar, and even Huangfu Song shook his head again and again: "More than twenty groups!" Don't fight tens of thousands of pounds of beasts? How can it all be done? ”

"Don't say it's going to be harsh!" Nan Ying stepped forward and said sharply: "Seventeen thousand brothers are about to go hungry, we have escaped the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army and the invasion of the flood!" What now? Do you want our warriors to starve to death? ”

"Tell Ben!" Nan Ying waved his fist and said, "What is our slogan since you followed this general!" ”

"Never give up a brother!" More than a hundred voices converged into a shocking wave.

The Han soldiers opened their mouths in surprise, and their smiling expressions instantly converged. Many people also remembered that terrible night a few days ago, and the scouts had been yelling, wasn't that exactly what this sentence was?

"So, only you can complete the mission!" Nan Ying waved his hand, "Go ahead!" ”

"Yes!" Countless voices shouted, including hundreds of Orion-born soldiers.

Five rangers marched out, and immediately ten ordinary soldiers followed closely behind, and soon, hundreds of sturdy figures completely disappeared in the forest sea.

"High wind! Organize a squad of officers and secretly conspire with those brothers! Nanying sat down against a big tree, took out a verdant long grass and put it in his mouth, looked at Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were staring at him blankly, and said easily: "Two generals, what do you want to eat at night?" ”

The sky was getting darker, but the forest was full of jubilation, and the soldiers were busy peeling and removing the wild game and emptying their stomachs. Soon, all kinds of birds and animals were roasted on the fire.

Zhu Jun looked at the muntjac in front of him that was gradually roasted to golden brown, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said: "This group of soldiers under Nanying Yang does have real materials!" The upper horse is cavalry, the lower horse is infantry, and even entering the mountains is stronger than ordinary hunters! Now I don't have to worry about running out of military rations! ”

Huangfu Song looked at the several soldiers on his side carrying a big python with a thick bowl mouth while laughing and walking by, and couldn't help but be shocked: "How did they do it!" ”

Zhu Jun patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Hugh said this, the mouth of eating people is short, and your father and son should be polite to others in the future!" ”

Huangfu Song squinted at him and said, "You were bought for a meal of wild meat?" ”

"Phew!" Zhu Jun rolled his eyes and said: "If you have integrity, don't eat, don't even eat your subordinates, it's easy to starve to death!" ”

Huangfu Song was silent for a while before he said: "Jianshou and Jin Ying are close friends, of course he will be dissatisfied with Nanying Yang, but you should understand my hardships!" ”

"So, you're still not detached enough! What a Confucian general! Zhu Jun sighed and said: "Look at that Nan Yingyang, there are not so many crooked intestines!" People can risk their lives for an ordinary soldier they don't know, but they can't get used to Dong Zhuo, so they dare to go up and beat him violently, this is a pure soldier! Can you do it? ”

Huangfu Song looked at Nanying, who was sitting around the fire with a large group of soldiers not far away, talking and laughing, and said in a daze: "Not bad! I can't do it, I'm getting older, and my blood when I was young has long been cold! ”

Nan Ying didn't know that the two generals were judging him, he was taking the boar leg that a soldier respectfully handed over, biting a mouthful of grease fiercely, and laughing: "It's really delicious!" It's been a long time since I've eaten such fragrant meat! ”

These soldiers are actually Huangfu Song's subordinates, although they have heard the name of this Nanying Yang for a long time, they don't know much about him, and seeing that he is approachable, they can't help but become bolder.

A Wu Chang smiled and said, "It's just us pawns!" But what a noble man is a general? Presumably because he is used to eating brocade clothes and jade, how can he look down on these crude foods! ”

"Phew!" Nanying habitually patted the head of the chief with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "What brocade clothes and jade food? You really think Lao Tzu is the son and son of the family! ”

The soldiers burst into laughter.

The chief was slapped on the head, but he was a little flattered and bolder: "Is the general also from a civilian background?" ”

"Civilians? What would Ben say? Yes and no! Nan Ying thought of the clan identity that Emperor Ling had given him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But I'm not afraid to tell you, I will suffer a lot, not to mention such a delicious wild boar, even rat meat has been eaten!" ”

One of the soldiers shouted, "Rat meat? My subordinates have eaten it too! It's also delicious when grilled! ”

"Of course it's delicious when grilled!" Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that it will be eaten raw!" ”

"What?" The soldiers were shocked and said, "How can you eat it raw?" ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were not far away, also heard it, and their curiosity was great, and they slowly came up, but their figures were shrouded in the shadows behind the firelight, and Nanying and the soldiers did not notice it.

Nan Ying looked at these ordinary soldiers, and a sense of intimacy arose in his heart, as if he had returned to the years when he lived with his comrades when he was in the Hidden Dragon Base.

He moved his buttocks and adjusted a comfortable position before saying, "Anyway, back then, Lao Tzu was only seventeen years old, and once he received an order to go to the mountains and forests to kill a person......

He paused, and saw that the soldiers' eyes were wide, staring at him without blinking, and he couldn't help but talk more excitedly: "Lao Tzu found a good place on that person's path, and he lurked motionlessly, but he didn't expect that this would be three days......

"Impossible!" A soldier listened attentively and blurted out: "How can the general and pee if he doesn't move for three days?" ”

Nanying said lightly: "Do you really want to know?" ”

Everyone nodded vigorously in unison, and even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"If he had time, he would have usually dug two connected pits in the ground, both of which were just big enough for his body, one to hide and the other for convenience!" Nan Ying said patiently: "But if you don't have time to prepare, then you can only try your best to control your diet, of course, this control is not because you are afraid of feces and urine on your body, but because the smell will not only attract wild beasts, but also cause the enemy to be alert!" ”

The soldiers were dumbfounded, and one soldier couldn't help but say, "But what if you still want to be convenient after controlling your diet?" ”

"I'm sorry then!" Nan Ying spread his hands and said, "It's only pulled in the crotch!" ”

"And what about later? Did the general wait for the man? A curious soldier asked.

"It's time to wait!" Nan Ying made a gesture to wipe his neck, "Although that person is also a master, it's a pity that he didn't see through the death trap in front of him, so Ben will slaughter him with just one sword!" ”

Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun heard it at the same time, and Zhu Jun put his mouth to Huang Fu Song's ear and whispered: "Is what this kid said true or false?" ”

Huangfu Song stared at Nanying's back and slowly shook his head.

"And later? And then what? There were still soldiers who couldn't listen to the shouting.

"Later!" Nan Ying smiled lightly: "Later, the general was a few years older, and he became your general!" ”

The soldiers suddenly fell silent together, it turned out that this general also relied on his ability to fight, and he had such a dangerous experience before.

"So! It's good to be alive, to be able to eat such fragrant boar, what is not satisfied? Nan Ying shook the pork leg in his hand, "Although our army seems to be defeated at the moment, the brothers are still alive, and there is hope if they are alive!" Ben will believe that when we get out of this mountain, it will be the time when our army will turn defeat into victory! ”

"Do you want to be a general like this general?" He laughed and said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!" But the premise is that you have to win all the time and work hard to live! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! All the soldiers shouted together: "Always win!" Try to stay alive! ”

"Now, even the generals have to be convinced!" Huangfu Song exhaled softly: "What a terrible young man!" Such a person would be a nightmare if he were an enemy! ”

Zhu Jun nodded slowly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "General Nan, has anyone seen General Nan?" ”

Nanying Huo Ran got up and said, "Gao Feng, this will be here!" What's the matter? ”

Gao Feng ran to Nanying and said in a low voice: "Sir, something is wrong! We have a squad of brothers who still haven't come back to this day, and it's well past the allotted time! ”

"What!" Nan Ying's heart tightened, could it be that he had encountered a master sent by the enemy, otherwise no matter what kind of fierce beast, it would be impossible to make fifteen experienced soldiers disappear into the mountains and forests silently.

"Quick! Send a search and rescue team now! Nan Ying frowned: "No! I'm still leading the team myself, and if something happens to them, I can't excuse myself! ”

Suddenly, there was a great chaos in the distance, and the exclamations of the soldiers could be heard.

"Oh no! Blame, monster! ”

"What's that!"

"Oh my God! Go and tell the generals! ”

Nanying yelled badly, pulled out his eagle knife and rushed towards the place where he screamed.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were also shocked and chased after each other.

Soon, several generals opened their mouths wide in unison and looked at the scene in front of them stupidly.

A ranger rode on the back of an elephant and was embraced by countless soldiers.

Many of the soldiers in the south had seen elephants, but it was not surprising that the soldiers in the north had never seen them, and they were so frightened that they hid far away.

When the ranger saw the southern eagle by the fire, he hurriedly jumped off the elephant's back and saluted, "General, the seventh squad is here to return to life!" ”

He pointed to the elephant behind him and said proudly: "Look, general, this is far more than a thousand catties, right?" Still alive! ”

Nan Ying recognized that the ranger was the only Tianyan warrior in the army, and he was also one of Yang Kun's proud disciples, he pointed at the elephant and stammered: "This, this, this is the elephant?" ”

"Yes! It turns out that the general knows elephants! The Tianyan warrior was relieved: "Your subordinates are so stunned when they see the general, and you don't know the elephant!" ”

"Fart! Of course Ben knows it's an elephant! Nanying couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily: "What I want to ask is, how can there be elephants here?" ”

"General Nan, your question is too strange!" Chun Yuqiong walked out of the crowd, "Isn't it normal to have elephants?" ”

"Normal?" Nanying was stunned and said: "Elephants are only available in the south!" But this is obviously Yingchuan! ”

"It turns out that the general knows that this is Yingchuan?" Chun Yuqiong's expression was very strange, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "Dare to ask the general, do you know which state Yingchuan County belongs to?" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense! Yuzhou, of course! Nanying said angrily: "Does it matter?" ”

"Absolutely!" Chun Yuqiong sighed and said, "Please think about it carefully, how is this Yu character written?" Although the general has been outside the territory for many years, this kind of thing should not be unknown! ”

"Yu? Elephant! Nan Ying looked at the countless teasing eyes with kindness, and couldn't help moaning: "There are elephants in Yuzhou? ”

PS: Although I am resting today, it still took too much time to think about the plot, and I hurriedly checked the typo, so that this chapter is belated, please forgive me!

Also, thank you to the brothers of the Rose Knights for the five votes they cast for several days in a row! Thank you!
