Chapter 116: Imperial Beast
"Marshal! Those barbarians are too rampant, wait for me to leave the camp and kill their spirit! Niu Lanshan, Xu Rong's camp, Hua Xiong came in angrily and roared at Xu Rong.
"Oh? How to run rampant? Xu Rong raised his eyelids and glanced at Hua Xiong.
"I don't understand what they say, but there are definitely no good words, and there are people who take off their clothes and pee on our military camp directly outside the gate!" Hua Xiong said angrily.
"This is obviously to provoke us to go out of the camp to fight, has Wen Kai forgotten the words of the lord in the past, and will not be angry and raise troops!" Xu Rong looked at Hua Xiongdao indifferently.
"I'm not angry, but the soldiers in the army are angry, my dignified Han Wang Shi actually hid in the camp, let a group of Nanban show off their might in front of us, these soldiers are all fighting heroes who fought with the lord, how can they be majestic in our hands?" Hua Xiong said indignantly.
"Since you're not angry, just stay good, or do you have a way to deal with those vine armor soldiers?" Xu Rong looked at Hua Xiongdao.
"Use fire!" Hua Xiong looked at Xu Rongdao.
"Those rattan armors, the lord has taken a fancy to them, and they will be ours in the future, your fire is burning, the lord is here, how do you explain?" Xu Rong put down the book in his hand and looked at Hua Xiongdao.
"This ......" Hua Xiong said, Ye Zhao had already written a letter before, those rattan armor will be from the Shu army in the future, which makes them a little constrained, and most of the resentment in the army is provoked by these rattan armor soldiers: "There is no other way?" ”
"If so, I'd be here?" Xu Rong sighed, the rattan armor soldiers are not afraid of anything but fire, they do not sink into the water, and the knives and guns are difficult to hurt, Xu Rong has thought of some countermeasures, but with little success, so far, only more than two hundred pairs of rattan armor have been captured, and the craftsmen in the army are studying.
"Dashuai, it's not good!" Just as the two were talking, they saw a soldier hurriedly running in, looking terrified.
"What's the alarm?" Xu Rong frowned.
"A group of monsters came from the southern barbarians, two feet tall, three or four feet long, with fangs on the side of their mouths, and their foreheads and noses are also long, and they are attacking this side, in addition, there are many tigers, leopards and cattle driven by the enemy, and our walled wall is afraid that it will not be able to support the impact of these brute beasts!" The soldier panicked.
"Check it out!" Xu Rong's face changed, he stood up and walked out, Hua Xiong and Zhao Yun on the side also followed, and the group hurried to the camp before they could see a brute beast almost as tall as Yuanmen was attacking the wall, and many barbarians had already climbed in along the brute beast, and it was those vine armor soldiers who rushed in first.
"Zilong!" Xu Rong said in a deep voice.
"Whoa!" Zhao Yun didn't say much, he opened his bow and shot, and one by one the arrows broke out of the air, as if he had eyes, he went straight to the door of those rattan armor soldiers, these rattan armor defenses were extremely comprehensive, even the neck had a defense, but only the face door was not, usually the face was protected with a rattan shield, but at this moment, how could I care about so much, Zhao Yun's arrows were like beads, just in an instant, more than a dozen rattan armor soldiers fell.
"Catapults, attack with gravel!" Xu Rong ran up with the arrow, and shouted in order.
Yuanmen looked like it couldn't be defended, the huge volume of the brute beast contained terrifying power, but this moment of effort, the craftsman designed it, the wall that should have been strong has many traces of fragmentation, this is something that the ram can't shake for a while, Xu Rong knows that it's not that the wall is not strong enough, but that these brute beasts are too strong.
"Archers prepare, shoot the brutes! What about the rhubarb crossbow! Xu Rong roared as he ran.
The first to gather is the crossbowmen, rows of big yellow crossbows shoot out of the arrow clusters, at such a close distance, even the rattan armor soldiers have to kneel, this is also the only weapon in the army in addition to fire that can restrain the rattan armor soldiers, but unfortunately there are not many such weapons, Xu Rong's side, this kind of power of the three-stone crossbow is only fifty, if the two armies hedge, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the rattan armor soldiers within the effective range, which is also the reason why Xu Rong has been closed, relying on the city wall, fifty crossbow machines with other defenses, Enough to deter these rattan armor soldiers.
The brute had already smashed through the city walls, and an elephant stepped on its pillar-like legs, of course, few in the Han army could recognize this species, and at the same time, four or five crossbow arrows pierced the elephant's huge body, and the powerful penetration of the three-stone crossbow was difficult to defend even such a thick-skinned creature.
Especially the huge size, it is really a rare target.
"Ang~"
The injured elephant began to turn around in pain, no matter how the knight on his back urged, he couldn't stop it, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, although he was shocked by the size of this monster, it was obvious that this thing was not invincible, it seemed that this huge giant beast did not have much courage.
On the contrary, it was those crazy cows that gave Xu Rong a little headache.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
A strange horn suddenly sounded in the distance, and in Xu Rong's stunned gaze, those cattle suddenly began to retreat, and several other giant beasts also began to retreat, and the vine armor soldiers mixed with these beasts also quickly retreated, leaving only a mess.
"What happened?" Xu Rong climbed a watchtower and looked into the distance.
"It's the lord, the lord's army is coming!" The soldier in charge of the lookout said excitedly to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong also saw that in the distance, a group of men and horses had entered the rear of the barbarian army, and those beast armies were returning to defense, and in the farther direction, a large-scale army appeared, and the banner was the Flying Tiger Banner representing the hussar general.
"Clean up the battlefield!" Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't lose this Niulan Mountain camp, otherwise when Ye Zhao arrived, he wouldn't even have a place to stay, and he would be a marshal.
After finding that the two armies were fighting, Ye Zhao transferred all the cavalry under his command to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu led the army into the formation, as for the infantry, there was no way to do the surprise mission, so Guan Yu decisively led the army to withdraw after rushing and killing once, and Ye Zhao's army, obviously did not mean to start a war immediately, and was slowly converging towards the camp of Niulan Mountain.
An hour later, Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses finally entered the camp, when Xu Rong set up the camp, it was a camp set up according to the establishment of 30,000 horses, even if Ye Zhao led the army to enter, it did not look crowded.
"The last general Xu Rong (Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Ding Li), see the lord!" After Xu Rong took care of the battlefield, he brought someone to see Ye Zhao.
"What was going on just now? How do I see a herd attacking the camp? Ye Zhao sat on top of the handsome position, looked at Xu Rong and frowned.
"Back to the lord, it was Meng who invited the lord of the Mulu Cave, it is said that this Mulu Cave is good at controlling beasts, and now it seems that it is really powerful, and the camp is almost lost!" Xu Rong bowed and said.
"It's okay, it's okay if people are fine." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "Tell me how the war has been going these days?" ”
"Back to the lord, after I divided the troops equally, our army fought with a group of barbarians led by the Ugo country, before the appearance of the rattan armor soldiers, our army had a slight advantage, but it was a pity that ......" Xu Rong said in the end, he shook his head with a wry smile, he originally had the intention of gradually reducing the living space of the enemy army step by step, and annihilating one by one, but the addition of the rattan armor soldiers disrupted Xu Rong's deployment, and Ye Zhao had the intention to leave this batch of rattan armor, which also made Xu Rong a little constrained.
"The lord gave me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then ordered General Ding to lead 5,000 people to help, just a few battles, now the actual soldiers and horses in the army are only more than 12,000, although the previous battle was short, but these beast armies caused nearly 1,000 casualties to our army!" Those who defended the wall, as the wall was broken through, were almost trampled to death by the surging beasts, almost catching up with all the previous casualties.
This is also the reason why there was no big battle between the two sides, with Xu Rong's character, if he is not absolutely sure, he will never rush into a big battle, once there are a large number of casualties in the army, there are only two possibilities, one is to win, the other is to lose.
"Beast Army!" Ye Zhao ordered the craftsmen of the Shengong Battalion who accompanied the army to reinforce the wall, and at the same time frowned and looked at some of the corpses of the beasts that were shot and killed dragged by Xu Rong's people, a tiger, a dozen bison, which were also mixed with cattle, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "I don't know how the Mulu Cave drove these beast armies?" ”
This is not some fantasy world that can summon beasts.
"Lord, I know this." Yang Feng stood up and smiled.
Since Yang Feng's father and son persuaded the four counties and five caves, Ye Zhao invited the father and son to join the army to attack the Southern Barbarians, but Yang Gao was still running around to persuade more cave owners, so he only sent Yang Feng to listen to the army.
"Oh? Let's talk about it! Ye Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled.
"Some of these beasts were domesticated from the Wood Deer Cave, and the other part, but this is only a few, and most of them are driven away by special drugs." Yang Feng looked at Xu Rong and said, "Were these beasts mixed with enemy troops before?" ”
"Not bad." Xu Rong nodded and said, "There are probably hundreds of vine armor soldiers accompanying them. ”
"These people, as well as the beasts they have domesticated, will be smeared with a special ointment made by the Mulu Cave, which can attract the beasts to come." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Do you know what kind of ointment?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, this kind of method, even he had never heard of.
"This is the secret of the Mulu Cave, it is impossible to know below, but there will be some organs of the same kind, both male and female, supplemented by some herbs that can make these beasts estrus, these herbs are made of the Mulu Cave, I have tried before, but it has not succeeded, attract these beasts in advance, when fighting, only a few people need to ride on the domesticated beasts, and with these drugs to lure, a large number of beasts can follow." Yang Feng explained to Ye Zhao: "Of course, if you can domesticate a cow king, even if you don't have these, you can drive the herd, but now it seems that there is no cow king in the other party's beast army, otherwise it wouldn't be so messy." ”
