Chapter 183: Bullying
All things are mutually reinforcing, and once a weakness is found, there is nothing that cannot be dealt with. Although the vine armor army is invulnerable, its fatal weakness is fire, and it has been known by Sima Yi, so it is naturally not a problem to deal with the vine armor army. However, Sima Yi was more greedy, and after learning about the method of cracking the vine armor army, he wanted to keep those vine armor for himself. Compared with the heavy armor of the Han system, the rattan armor is lighter in defense.
The rattan armor is afraid of fire, but that is on the premise of not knowing the weakness of the vine armor, since the weakness of the vine armor is already known, then there is naturally a corresponding way to solve this problem. The easiest way is to hand over these rattan armor to the navy to use, although there are also fire attacks in water warfare, but the rattan armor is light, and people can wear it on their bodies to swim across, which can reduce at least half of the physical strength consumed.
Sima Yi fell in love with the vine armor army of the vulture bones, of course, he only took a fancy to the rattan armor worn by the Ugo people, not the Ugo people. If that vulture bone knew the times, he could still leave a life, and if he was ready to resist to the end, then Sima Yi would not feel sorry for the life of a barbarian.
In order to save his favorite rattan armor as much as possible, Sima Yi really spent a lot of brains, not only persuading Zhao Yun to cooperate with his plan, but also mobilizing the White Tiger Army composed of the Ban Yu barbarians in Hanzhong to act as a surprise soldier, in order to make a forced landing on the vulture bone in one fell swoop.
The vulture didn't know that he had called one of the best wise men in the world to target, and after resting for a few days, he took his proud vine armor army to challenge the Han army camp again. In the past few days, the Han army hung up the battle card, and could not defend it, although the vulture bone had the intention to attack, but the weapons of the Han army were really sharp, after finding that the ordinary bow and crossbow could not constitute effective damage to the rattan armor soldiers, the Han army actually lined up the siege crossbow in a row and shot flat, the rattan armor is a cow, but the huge destructive power of the siege crossbow arrow is not something that can be resisted by flesh and blood alone, after suffering a loss of the siege crossbow, the vulture bone no longer dares to have the idea of attacking the Han camp.
Different from a few days ago, this time the Han army responded to the challenge of the vulture bone, and Zhao Yun, who made the vulture suffer a big loss a few days ago, appeared in front of the vulture bone first, and the vulture bone couldn't help but secretly complain when he saw this. But all fierce generals basically have their own combat style, such as Ma Chao's swiftness, Dian Wei's fierceness, and Zhao Yun is a water mill, and against fierce generals like Ma Chao and Dian Wei, the outcome can be seen quickly. But Zhao Yun is not like this, although he can also solve the battlefield quickly, but he just doesn't do that, just like boiling an eagle, making people want to be angry but can't exert their strength.
Under Liu Xie's command, few people were willing to compete with Zhao Yun, and they all thought Zhao Yun was too meaty, and they were not happy at all. And the vulture bone is tall and strong, and it walks fiercely. It was unlucky to meet Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was like getting a new toy, playing with the vulture bones to his heart's content.
"Zhao Yun, I won't compete with you, if I want to compete, we will compete." Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, the vulture bone preemptively spoke.
"Huh? …… You're not too stupid. Zhao Yunleng paused for a moment, and then said with a smile. said that the vulture bone had blue muscles on his forehead, and he hated others saying that he was stupid, but this Zhao Yun repeatedly ridiculed him in front of him for being stupid. When it was time to put it aside, the vulture would find Zhao Yun desperately, but this time he endured it, glared at Zhao Yun viciously and asked, "Just say if you dare." ”
"Huh...... Why don't you dare? How to compare? ”
"You and I will each give out 3,000 people, and we will fight it out."
"Hmph, why do you need 3,000 people to deal with you, I only need 100 people." Zhao Yun said disdainfully.
No one likes to be despised by others, and the vulture bone was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he tried to warn himself to calm down, not to fall for the tricks of the Han army because of impulse. It took a while to calm down, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Okay, then you send out a hundred people, I send three thousand, I want to see how you led a hundred people to break my three thousand vine armor army." ”
"No problem, tell me a time and place, and let you die as you deserve."
Hearing this, the vulture bone looked up, estimated the time, and said to Zhao Yun: "An hour later, right here, I want you to pay the price for your arrogance." ”
"Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, because it's you who will pay the price, and it's only you."
……
An hour later, the vulture suddenly felt the ground tremble under his feet, and when he saw the hundred people coming out of the Han army camp, his face suddenly turned green. These 100 people did not come empty-handed, nor did they stand like others wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, but one by one they rode a war elephant and lined up in a line to face the vulture bones and the three thousand vine armor armoured troops.
The entire Nanban has so many war elephants, only the Mulu King! The vulture wanted to scold King Mulu for forgetting his ancestors, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. Because those war elephants had already launched an assault on the vine armor army of the vulture bones at the urging of the commander on their backs.
What a!
An adult elephant can weigh several tons, and the elephant that can be selected as a war elephant is even more heavy than an ordinary elephant.
The rattan armor is invulnerable, but it can't bear the war trampling of the war elephants, although the vulture bone has courage and no strategy, but it is not a tendon without a brain, as soon as the war elephant herd rushes over, the vulture bone whistled without saying a word, turned his head and ran. And those vine armor soldiers who got his orders were even more afraid to run slower and let the war elephants catch up.
The Han people are too lacking in morality! The vulture cursed in his heart while running away from the pursuit of the war elephants, can he still have a good time? Where is the integrity? What about the battle array?
Panicking is the state of the vine armor army at this time, the disaster is coming, they fly separately, no one can take care of anyone, everyone has only one idea at this time, maybe I can't outrun the elephant, but as long as I outrun the people around me. In order to make it easier to run, the vine armor army threw away the weapons and shields that were in the way in their hands, if it weren't for the fact that the vine armor was worn on the body and it was inconvenient to take off, I am afraid that it would also be taken off at this time. But the war elephants sent by the Han army seemed to be crazy, and they couldn't stop chasing hard, and the vine armor soldiers could only desperately flee when they saw this.
"Mr. Sima, you see how powerful my war elephants are, but it's only a hundred war elephants, so the three thousand vine armor army of the vulture bones will flee." King Mulu stood next to Sima Yi and praised his war elephant vigorously. But Sima Yi was unmoved, and glanced at King Mulu with slanted eyes, "King Mulu, you better save your efforts, those war elephants look good, but they cost too much, although my Han army has a big business, it will not do things that outweigh the losses." ”
“…… Mr. Sima, just help me, I really can't afford to support them. Seeing that his little abacus was directly debunked by Sima Yi, King Mulu simply wiped his face and no longer cared about face. War elephants are powerful, and King Mulu was ecstatic when he first figured out how to tame war elephants, but after raising almost a hundred war elephants, King Mulu discovered a problem that he had ignored before.
These war elephants are so edible! All of them are foodies. King Mulu is considered to be the top wise man among the barbarians, and with his wisdom, he can completely make his people live a rich life. But because of these war elephants, although no one dared to bully them casually, the people of the Mulu King were also mixed up one by one like called Huazi, and they were hungry and hungry. Why did King Mulu choose to join the imperial court? One of the reasons is that King Mulu can't afford to raise these war elephants anymore. I wanted to sell the war elephants to the Han people in exchange for some money, but I didn't want the Han people to be so shrewd, so I realized the problem just by looking at it.
"King Mulu, although this thing is powerful, it is not invincible. It is not difficult to solve these war elephants, it is nothing more than a lot of effort...... Okay, don't cry, what are you crying about. These war elephants were collected by the Han army, and when they turned around, they asked people to convert grain and grass for you, but those elephant soldiers had to stay. Sima Yi said impatiently to King Mulu.
"Okay, okay, I'll send those people's families when I get back." In order to prevent Sima Yi from regretting afterwards, King Mulu immediately left and did not give Sima Yi a chance to regret it. Seeing this, Sima Yi shook his head secretly, and didn't bother to care about the cleverness of King Mulu, so he turned his head and asked Duo Si, who had been watching the play for a long time, "King Duo Si, I don't know what you want from my Han army?" ”
"No, I only have one request, I hope that as you said, the Han people will no longer discriminate against us Nanban people in the future." King Doth shook his head and said.
“…… You are a smart man, King Doth, so we might as well put some things bluntly. If the Southern Barbarians want not to be despised by others, the most important thing is to rely on their own efforts. Face is never given by others, but earned by yourself. Today's saint is eloquent and strategic, and he also has unique views on the relationship between various ethnic groups, looking at the current situation of various ethnic groups in the northwest and the Han people, I believe you also have some bottom in your heart. Now the opportunity has been given to you, but whether you can seize it or not depends on you. ”
After hearing this, King Duosi finally showed a smile on his face, since Sima Yi dared to say these words to himself openly and honestly today, it means that these words are from Sima Yi's heart, although the words are a little unpleasant, but the more this is the case, the more it can show the other party's sincerity in this matter.
……
The panicked vulture bones and vine armor army were driven by a hundred war elephants and gathered on a cliff, looking at the abyss below, the vulture bones looked up to the sky and sighed, unless they had wings on their backs, it would be difficult to escape today.
"Cheer up! We are the warriors of the nation of Ugo! Not a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Let our enemies show that even if the warriors of the country of Ugo face death, they will fall in the way of the charge! The vulture roared hysterically at the six gods and masters.
When people are faced with a desperate situation, they often burst out with extraordinary strength. At the moment, there was no way forward, and there were chasing soldiers behind, and with the roar of the vulture bones, the three thousand vine armor soldiers who had lost their weapons also screamed one by one like chicken blood. Unexpectedly, these people suddenly went against the norm, and they really frightened the chasing war elephants.
"Rush with me and fight your way out!" Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, the vulture bone hurriedly roared loudly, and rushed down the mountain first, but before the words fell, a powerful arrow flew over the scalp of the vulture, taking away the rattan helmet on the vulture's bone. The vulture was startled, his neck shrunk, and he hurriedly raised the rattan shield in his hand to protect his vital point.
Zhao Yun led thousands of people to step forward from behind the war elephants, and those war elephants also slowly retreated after Zhao Yun led the people to appear, handing over the home field to Zhao Yun.
"Zhao Yun, you coward!" The vulture bone's eyes were red and he pointed at Zhao Yun and scolded.
But Zhao Yun was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, vultures, do you know why you failed?" Because you're stupid. It is precisely because of your stupidity that your country of Ugo will cease to exist from this day forward. As soon as Zhao Yun said this, his left hand was raised, and someone immediately stepped forward and handed over a jar.
Zhao Yun took it and threw it in front of the vulture, "Vulture bone, do you think your rattan armor is really that powerful?" Although your rattan armor is not afraid of swords, it has no way to deal with fire. ”
The jar shattered to the ground, and the smell emitted made the vulture feel bad, and Zhao Yun's words made the vulture feel like he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head for thirty-nine days. As the lord of the country of Ugo, he naturally studied his secret weapon many times. The rattan armor is tough and light, but because it is soaked and dried many times with secret oil, the rattan armor has no defense at all against fire attacks.
Seeing the jar full of fire oil, and hearing Zhao Yun's words, the vulture bone knew that his hole cards had been made clear to the opponent, and the three thousand vine armor troops under his command were probably in danger of being wiped out today. Once the youth and strength of these 3,000 Ugo countries are gone, then the Ugo country will exist in name only, and those old and weak women and children will not be able to compete with the neighboring tribes.
The vulture hesitated and was afraid, especially when he thought that those in the clan who trusted him had died because of him, and the vulture couldn't help but shudder.
"Take off your armor and surrender on your knees, you can still save your life. Otherwise, today I will have to burn all the rattan armor that you have accumulated over the years in the Ugo Kingdom. Before Zhao Yun's words fell, the Han soldiers who had already been ready raised their ignited rockets one after another, aiming at the three thousand vine armor army behind the vultures.
"I won't give you the chance to die." Seeing this, the vulture couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. After being forced into a desperate situation by Zhao Yun and publicly speaking out the weakness of the vine armor, there was not much fighting spirit left, and after seeing that the Han army was really ready to set fire to people, the vulture bone had to take off the rattan armor on his body in humiliation in order to save the lives of the clansmen, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands according to the instructions of the Han army.
The lords of the country have surrendered, and those rattan armor soldiers who have always looked at the head of the country do not need the instructions of the Han army, they have automatically and consciously taken off the rattan armor, learning the appearance of the lord at this time, squatting on the spot with their heads in their hands, waiting for the next instructions of the Han army.
Seeing the vulture bones yield, Zhao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was finally bloodless, if he really burned these rattan armors, Zhao Yun was really a little distressed. If it can be equipped with cavalry, it will greatly reduce the weight of the war horse, thereby increasing the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
"Ah sneeze~" Sima Yi, who was waiting for news in the camp, suddenly sneezed for no reason, and Deng Zhan on the side asked with concern when he saw this: "Strategist, but you are not feeling well?" ”
"No, I'm in good health, I guess someone is saying bad things about me behind my back." Sima Yi replied with a chattering expression.
"Military advisor, Daxi, General Zhao ordered someone to send a message, and the vulture bone led the crowd to surrender, and the three thousand rattan armor were all in the bag." A report from outside the tent.
"Okay, great, where is General Zhao now?" Sima Yi couldn't help but ask happily when he heard this.
"On the way back to camp."
Without the help of the vulture bone, Sima Yi really wanted to see who else Meng Shu could find to help him fight. In this part of Nanban, basically the people with heads and faces are now either killed or surrendered to the Han army, and Meng Shu basically can't find any helpers except for the people of the village. After Sima Yi went deep into Nanzhong, he gradually changed the main goal of clearing Meng Huo to purging the "rebels" in Nanban. Those who chose to stand on Meng Huo's side at this time belonged to hostile forces and needed to be eliminated. For the sake of Yinan's long-term peace and stability in the future, Sima Yi and Zhao Yun don't mind acting as executioners.
"Huh? What else is going on with you? Sima Yi suddenly found that Jia Kui, who had come to report the news, looked a little speechless and stopped, and couldn't help but ask in wonder.
"Strategist, General Zhao distributed those rattan armors to the cavalry under his command after capturing the rattan armor of the vulture bone, I always feel that this is a bit wrong." Jia Kui replied when he heard this.
“…… Yes, no, this guy wants to eat black. Sima Yi is a smart person, and he has always understood it, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying.
……
"Zilong has worked hard." Sima Yi said to Zhao Yun who had returned to the camp with a smile on his face.
"Huh...... If there was no Zhongda to strategize, the vultures would not have succumbed easily. Zhong Da wants to see the vulture? ”
"What's so good about a vulture. Zilong, why did I suddenly notice that the cavalry under your command was a little different? Sima Yi waved his hand, looking at the cavalry who was returning to the camp and asked Zhao Yundao.
"Oh, I think those rattan armors are good, just right for cavalry, so I ordered them to wear them, Zhongda won't bother with me, right?"
"Huh...... Zilong, have you forgotten the military regulations? ”
“…… What Mil-spec? ”
"But all seizures must be returned to the public, and if you give and receive them privately, you will lose your head."
"Zhongda, it's just three thousand vine armor, you don't need to go online, right?"
"Hmph...... Zilong, you don't play sloppy with me, rattan armor is a good thing, you know this, but if you want to eat alone, don't talk about the door, you don't even have a window! ”
“…… So how much do you want? ”
"At most, five hundred pairs will be left for you, and the rest will be returned to the public."
"No, at least a thousand." Zhao Yun resolutely objected when he heard this.
"There are no doors, six hundred."
"Nine hundred."
“…… I'll give way one more step, seven hundred. ”
"Then I'll also give one step, eight hundred, no less."
Thanks to this conversation, it happened when there were no idle people in the tent, otherwise I don't know how many people would be shocked to drop their jaws, dare to be as wise as Sima Yi, and as brave as Zhao Yun, there will also be times when they bargain with Shang Jia.
