Chapter 452: There is fraud
The 50,000-strong army is nominally under the command of Yan Ming. In fact, Liu Che is still according to his own ideas. Let Yan Ming take one road, and there are also four generals, each of whom will attack Baiyue in a formation.
This is also a strategy to make more flowers.
One way is Xun Yu leading 10,000 people, and all the way is Yang Fu leading 10,000 people. There is also a route led by the Che Rider. Tang Meng naturally led 10,000 people.
Yan Ming is directly under it, and there are only 10,000 people.
The four generals, all of them vigorously attacked Baiyue.
Among them, Yang Fu's people approached the most quickly.
In his opinion, Zhuang Zhu is nothing more than a civil servant. Wenchen fights, that's. So 2,000 people were wiped out by the little Minyue.
This time, Liu Che wants to launch a war against Baiyue once and for all, so naturally he will not be as hasty as last time. The 50,000 elite soldiers this time are the strongest army of the Han Dynasty.
Yang Fu led his forward 3,000 men, all the way to the south, invincible. Far from the main force of seven thousand was thrown in the rear.
When they entered the mountains, a guide sent by Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, arrived.
At this time, Yang Fu had already broken away from his own army, not to mention, even he and Yan Ming and other four-way armies had lost contact.
The South Vietnamese region is surrounded by sloping mountains and dense forests.
Although the guide sent by Zhao Hu was small, his body was extremely nimble, and he walked through the grass and trees. At first, his speed was okay, and the Han army from the north could barely keep up.
In the end, there were more and more plants and trees on the mountain, and the war horses of the Han army really couldn't move forward.
And the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the underwear in the armor is already soaked with sweat, and there are even dripping water droplets rolling out through the armor.
"It's so hot!" Yang Fu wiped the sweat from his face and kept panting.
"General, in the middle of this mountain range, with war horses, the speed of the march has been greatly slowed down. Why don't we leave our horses here, and we'll move faster on foot. "Although the guide sent by Zhao Hu looks small, he is very patriotic and loves South Vietnam, and he is afraid that Yang Fu will be late.
"Well, that makes sense." Yang Fu saw that the cavalry was not only sweating profusely when they walked, but also pulling mules and horses, which was obviously very laborious.
"Leave five hundred men behind to guard the horses. For the rest, advance on foot. Before dark, walk through this mountain forest. At the sound of Yang Fu's order, the cavalry gave up their war horses and charged forward with Yang Fu with military crossbows and swallow swords.
It's a pity that Yang Fu underestimated the mountains of Lingnan too much.
He wanted to cross the mountains before dark, but it was just a dream without looking at a map.
When it was dark, they lost their guide from South Vietnam.
In the middle of the mountains, they were lost.
When the sun sets, all the animals in the mountains come to life. There are no tigers and lions, but poisonous insects are rampant in various primeval forests.
After some insects bite people, they will cause fever and itching. There were also colorful centipedes and poisonous snakes, which made these Han soldiers from the north scream in terror.
The snake is okay, with a swing of the swallow knife, it will be cut into two pieces.
But seeing the snake writhing on the ground with two severed bodies is indescribably terrifying.
There is also a small insect that, after biting a person, will burrow into the skin. Even if you kill it, if you don't cut it off with a knife, its head will detach from its body and continue to burrow into its skin and muscles.
The primeval forest in the darkness is even more terrible than hell.
However, the most terrifying thing is not these poisonous insects, animals, but people.
The combined forces of Su Ying and Zhao Hu were ambushed here.
Yes.
Su Ying and Zhao Hu united.
In history, it was indeed Su Ying who attacked and killed Zhao Hu.
But the reality is so bloody.
Su Ying and Zhao Hu actually joined forces and prepared to pit the Han army.
This matter still has to start with the war of the Han against the Xiongnu.
When the news of the Han war with the Xiongnu in the north came, the kings of Minyue and Nanyue in the south united and decided to resist the Han army and establish an independent kingdom by virtue of the Lingnan natural danger.
So, a false distress letter was sent to Chang'an.
According to the ideas of the two kings in the Baiyue region, Liu Che is facing the Xiongnu in the north, and there should be no chance to attack them.
Unexpectedly, the strong man was careless and just sent Zhuang Zhu to come over with 2,000 people.
Running towards the principle of killing chickens to show monkeys, Su Ying ordered Yu Shan to ambush on the road that the Han army must pass, and annihilated the Zhuang Zhu troops in one battle.
Now, Yang Fu has stepped on the old path of Zhuang Zhu.
The road they walked was full of poisonous insects and snakes.
At this point, without a guide, they can only rest in place. Swarms of poisonous insects are constantly flying in, or a large number of hungry centipedes and snakes suddenly appear.
Some snakes seemed to fall from the sky and fell directly on the body and neck of the Han army. Frightened, some Han soldiers who had never seen snakes in the north screamed.
Some were bitten by snakes on the neck or other places, and ran around in panic. Some were directly poisoned, foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground.
In this way, it was tossed until the second half of the night, and the poisonous insects and snakes were reduced. The 3,000 Han soldiers were wounded and killed, and more than a dozen were staring at the dark primeval forest with palpitations, not knowing where to go.
At this point, Yang Fu regretted being greedy for merit.
"It's a little more calm at this time, and let's rest early. Tomorrow we will return the way we came, and after meeting up with the main army, we will do it again. Yang Fu commanded.
Everyone was exhausted, leaving a few to stand guard, and the others wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes, and the poisonous insects attacked again while they were asleep.
In the darkness, Baiyue soldiers dressed in cloth clothes and holding short knives quietly slipped down from the trees that had been ambushed a long time ago.
Some Baiyue soldiers held long bamboo pipes, put them to their mouths, and blew hard at the Han soldiers standing guard.
In the bamboo tube, a thin needle flew out and shot at the Han army standing guard.
Those Han soldiers who were shot fell to the ground as if they lost consciousness in an instant. The mouth foamed with blood foam and spit out.
If you look closely, those fine needles have a green sheen on them, obviously quenched with venom.
Those Baiyue soldiers, like poisonous snakes, silently revealed from the trees and bushes, like ghosts in the darkness.
Between them, there is no voice communication. It's all about gestures.
The short Baiyue soldiers, if they confront the Han soldiers head-on, they will be defeated nine times out of ten. But in this primitive, primitive, they are like fish in water.
The short knife in his hand was across the neck of the sleeping Han soldier, and blood splattered when he pulled it.
In this way, many Han soldiers returned to heaven in their sleep.
"Enemy attack—"
A sleepy-eyed Han soldier shouted this voice before his head was cut off.
Yang Fu and the others woke up one after another, and at the moment when their sleepy eyes were not opened, Baiyue's soldiers had already attacked with great fanfare.
In the darkness, I don't know how many enemies there are. There is no way to defend against it.
"Run out and tell Yan Hou that Baiyue is cheating!" Yang Fu held a swallow knife in one hand and a military crossbow in the other, resisting the surrounding Baiyue soldiers while shouting.
Some Han troops resisted, while others fled into the mountains.
