Chapter 302: Counting Soldiers
Compared to most Han Chinese, Yang Feng is not considered a cunning person, but compared to most barbarians, Yang Feng is considered a cunning person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are not many people in this world who can not be blinded by immediate interests, and Yang Feng happens to be the last wish of most people.
Jiang Wei came with the troops, and also brought a large amount of refined salt, and at the same time, Jiang Wei also offered generous conditions, as long as Yang Feng assisted the Chu army to break the barbarian king Meng Shu, Jiang Wei will report to the king of Chu to make Yang Feng the marquis of Yunnan, and now Yang Feng only has one city, oh! No, to be precise, there is only one big village, but this Yunnan Hou is different, the entire barbarian people will be ruled by him, this is a heart-warming condition, and Yang Feng is not a person who will not be moved, so he happily agreed. In Jiang Wei's opinion, Yang Feng was originally the kind of person who liked to cheat and play tricks, and his relationship with Meng Huo was not good, Meng Huo summoned various leaders to go to Yunnan to help in the war, but Yang Feng only sent his two sons to lead soldiers to help the war under the pretext of being ill. Originally, Yang Feng wanted to send some people to help in the war, but Meng Feng ordered that all the people in Yang Feng's territory except for the young and old go to help in the war, which means that both men and women were pulled away by Meng Huo, although Yang Feng was very unhappy with Meng Huo's request, but he did not dare to oppose Meng Huo directly, so he had to do it. His clansmen were all transferred away by Meng Huo, if Meng Huo wins, maybe he will take the opportunity to empty his rights, grasp all his military power, and let him be an empty copycat king, now that Jiang Wei is here, he sees an opportunity to cooperate.
Under the half-day negotiation between Jiang Wei and Yang Feng, Jiang Wei agreed to many conditions for Yang Feng, and Yang Feng agreed to take refuge in the King of Chu.
Jiang Wei looked at Yang Feng sitting opposite, he was kneeling and sitting, obviously not used to it, this was not the style of a barbarian, but Yang Feng still sat honestly, smiling at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei smiled secretly in his heart: What my father said is very right, there will never be a shortage of minions in this world, and what is in front of you is a natural minion. Just giving him a small profit can buy his whole life, which is really cost-effective.
After Jiang Wei and Yang Feng cooperated, Yang Feng supplemented Jiang Wei with grain and grass, and then secretly communicated with his two sons to assist the Chu army in breaking the enemy.
Three months later, Jiang Wei, Huo Jun and Wu Yi led their armies to converge at the foot of Yunnan City, and Meng Shu was forced close to Yunnan City. If there is a decent city in this Yunnan County, it must be Yunnan City, but this decent city, in Jiang Wei's opinion, is not as prosperous as a small county town in Jingzhou, with a lot of animal skins hanging on the city tower, and the barbarian soldiers are naked, standing on the city tower and glaring at the Chu army. Oh! No, it is better to say that it is a round fortress, the city is not made of stone, but with some clay to make two high earth walls, the earth wall is six meters high, there are two around Yunnan City.
When Wu Yi, Jiang Wei and Huo Jun led the army to Yunnan City, Meng Wei personally led a large army to attack, hundreds of elephants attacked the Chu army, and I don't know what Meng Shu fed those elephants, those elephants rushed towards the Chu army like crazy, but what made Jiang Wei feel strange was that these elephants seemed to only know Chong, and did not roar like wolves.
The Chu army had never seen this kind of formation for a while, and was charged by Meng and lost thousands of soldiers and horses, Wu Yi and others reinvigorated, built high mounds, held defensive positions, and did not dare to attack the city.
The elephant has thick skin, and ordinary bows and arrows have no effect on it at all, such a behemoth suddenly spreads its hooves and rushes towards you, which is more shocking than that kind of heavy armored cavalry, although most of the Chu army are professional soldiers, but they are so frightened, many soldiers are scared to pee their crotch.
"It's not easy to do!" Wu Yi sighed and said: "The catapults used for siege have been washed away by these elephants, it seems that this barbarian king Meng Shu still has some ability." ”
All the generals were silent, even if they used fire, they could only prevent the elephants from attacking the camp, but they could not attack effectively, and there were too many restrictions on the use of fire.
"General Wu, my subordinates have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible." Jiang Wei said.
Wu Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Wei and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"It's natural for animals to be afraid of fire, but relying only on flames can only disperse and can't effectively cause harm to elephants, so it's better to prepare some spears and halberds to deal with elephants." Jiang Wei said.
"Deal with elephants with the same way you use cavalry? The elephant was much larger than a war horse, and this method was not feasible. Wu Ban interjected.
Jiang Wei shook his head and said, "Can we fill the spear with some materials?" ”
"Filler? With what? Is it poisonous? But where to find poison, and even if you find it, the elephant is so big, even if the elephant is poisoned, how poisonous is the poison that can bring down an elephant? Wu Ban sighed.
Jiang Wei smiled, reached out and picked up a dagger, put it in the stove, the dagger slowly burned red, and then Jiang Wei ignored the heat of the dagger, picked up the dagger, and then cut it towards the cooked pork in front of him, the red-hot dagger instantly cut into the pork, Jiang Wei smiled and said: "Use red-hot spears, spears, and iron halberds to deal with elephants, although this cannot cause fatal injuries to elephants, but, but what we have to do is to make the elephants go crazy and mess up the formation, and then we can cut it all." ”
"Oh! Jiang Wei, you can tell me more! Wu Yi was not only impressed by Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei nodded: "Stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the table, and said, although the elephant is extremely destructive, it has a fatal weakness, that is, the lack of mobility, but this animal endurance is good, we can harass the elephant with light riding on both sides, first disturb, and then consume a certain amount of physical strength of the elephant, when the elephant charges, the explosive power of the elephant will inevitably be reduced, and then when it charges, bury it on the ground with a spear, and pierce the foot of the elephant, once the elephant is stabbed, the speed slows down, and the infantry holds a red-hot spear around the elephant and stabs it, Imagine how an elephant would react if a spear of this temperature pierced into the body of an elephant. ”
When Jiang Wei said this, Zhang Yi, who was listening carefully, couldn't help but shiver, he tried to imagine that the red-hot iron spear pierced into his body, and the feeling must have been painful.
"You can also order the crossbowmen to release rockets to block when the elephant is approaching our military formation, occupy higher terrain, rush into its legs with a chariot, and then stab it with a red-hot spear, the elephant will definitely go crazy, once it goes crazy, loses control, and the formation is chaotic, we can take the opportunity to take down Meng Shu, who commands the war elephants, and when the group of dragons has no leader, it will definitely be able to win." Jiang Wei analyzed.
Wu Yi nodded and said, "It's a good strategy, but you need a lot of charcoal to preheat the weapon." ”
"It's easy to do! There are many trees in Yunnan, so I will take people to cut wood. ”
Wu Ban said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
