Chapter 431: Clever Tricks to Break the Elephant Soldiers (5)
The barbarian king Dorr was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival when he only sang, but he didn't know that the rout in front of him had already turned back and rushed to the front. The elephant without its nose www.biquge.info even more crazy because of the pain, and its huge body is restricted by the terrain here, and there is no other way to retreat except retreat.
The way to come, in addition to being safe at this time, the other directions have already rained arrows like locusts, and the crossbowmen of the Qin army have long made the eastern countries fearful, but at the moment, it seems that these barbarians also need to know how powerful. Meng said that he personally commanded the army, and Bai Qi was even more in front of the battle, smashing left and right, and the long sword in his hand went straight to the elephant's trunk.
The elephant herd had never encountered such an attack, and I really didn't expect these behemoths to become so timid once their noses were cut off. The elephants have lost the courage to continue attacking. They all fled, and the ensuing horse team and infantry could be regarded as suffering, and some of the infantry died tragically at the feet of elephants before they could figure out what had happened. Most of the barbarians were trampled to death by their own elephants, not the bows and swords of the Qin army.
The barbarian king Dorr only sang the scene in front of him and was stunned, but fortunately, the other people around him, their eyes were quick, and they hurriedly pulled the war horse that the barbarian king Dorr only sang, and ran away. It was really a panic, just looking forward to being born early, the previous time was still high-spirited, and at this time the dog fled to the desert.
This battle was really thrilling, and the soldiers of the Qin army were so heroic in the face of elephant soldiers who had never been in contact with them. No matter what kind of enemy it is, there are still flaws. After a fight, the barbarian king Dorr only sang to gather the remnants of his defeated soldiers and retreat to the barbarian land, and at the same time, the peace of this day also gave the people in the city a little respite.
In particular, the arrival of the barbarian king Dor's singing made the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court rejoice, who doesn't know how powerful the elephant herd of the barbarian king is, and this time he will definitely be able to wipe out the Qin army. As everyone knows, such an exciting thing lasts for such a short time, and the shouting and killing outside the city makes everyone excited.
"General! It's better for me to wait for this time to kill, and the inside and outside should be combined to destroy the Qin army! Someone volunteered.
At this moment, Chen Wan looked very hesitant, not because of his own actions, which did not provoke the crazy counterattack of the Qin army, but the scene in front of him at this time, which was really uncertain. Although the army of the barbarian king Doer has already arrived, the Qin army on the opposite side will not rush up and leave their backs to themselves.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the Qin army must have made arrangements at this moment, if you leave the city at this time, I'm afraid these Qin troops will rush into the city! Besides, I'm short of horses at this time! Chen Wan stopped.
"The Qin army is only tens of thousands of people, and at this moment they are fighting with the men and horses of the barbarian king Doer, where will there be extra soldiers!" The generals around him were still looking forward to being able to rush out and fight with the Qin army.
However, this brightly lit place is really a little weird, and Chen Wan found that the place where the fire started was just staying in a narrow direction.
"This place is narrow, it seems that these reinforcements will not be able to get here tonight, and it is estimated that they will also fall into the trap of the Qin army at this time!" Chen Wan pointed in the direction of the fire with his hand.
Everyone watched carefully, and it was really good, it stands to reason that if the two armies fought in front of the formation, there should be torches everywhere, but the place where the fire started at this moment was too concentrated.
"General! If the last general guessed correctly, this is a valley mouth, which is the only way for reinforcements to enter Chengdu! The entourage next to him said.
"Hey! It seems that this barbarian king Dorr can't come to Chengdu if he only sings! Chen Wan sighed.
"Why did the general say that?" The people around him asked very puzzled. Chen Wan didn't speak, but turned to leave.
At present, the barbarian king Dorr is only the strongest among the reinforcements from all walks of life, but now he is suffering like this, presumably he has been surrounded by the Qin army at this moment, and it is estimated that he is already very lucky. The news of the defeat will naturally be detected by reinforcements from all walks of life, and in the face of such a formation, this person must have a lot of fear in their hearts, and they dare not make a move because they are afraid of the Qin army. At the moment, it seems that the burden of defeating the Qin army can only continue to stay on his shoulders!
The development of the facts was the same as Chen Wan expected, after the defeat of the barbarian king Doer, the rescuers from other roads did not dare to take another step forward, and stopped and watched one after another.
The battle lasted from midnight to dawn, and the Qin army not only eliminated many barbarian soldiers, but also captured a large amount of supplies. For the current Qin army, there is nothing more important than provisions, and the mountains of weapons have made the Qin army regain its combat effectiveness overnight.
Although the weapons of these barbarians are not as easy to use as their own weapons, no matter what, some are better than nothing. At this moment, the balance of war once again tilted to the side of the Qin army. When the sun rose again, the Qin army came to the city of Chengdu with the power of victory, and set up a formation, looking forward to a decisive battle with the Bashu army.
Today's weather is really rare, the sun is shining, but it is really rare, but such a good weather does not bring people much good mood. Outside the city, the barbarian king Dor, only sang the news of fleeing in the wilderness, as if he had grown legs, and was constantly recited in the streets and alleys of Chengdu. The 'Flying Feather Guard' spared no effort, adding fuel to the fire and disturbing everyone's hearts.
The national funeral of Du Yu, the king of Shu, unfolded in this panic, but everyone present was thinking about their future. It was supposed to be an incomparably grand state funeral, but at this moment it became deserted, and only a few aristocratic elders came to participate in the condolences. As for those young clan disciples, they are all busy drinking at this time, who cares about this.
When the noble leaders saw this, they were also sad from their hearts, and they never expected that the children of the clan would be so unbearable.
"The Son of Heaven was buried on the seventh day and in the seventh month; The princes were buried on the fifth day and in May; Doctors, scholars, and people were buried in three days and buried in March, and now the national disaster is at hand, and they have no choice but to compromise and seek perfection, but they don't want to go out of the funeral, and there are few crying! The old leader of the nobles sighed helplessly.
The death of the Son of Heaven is called "collapse", the death of the princes is called "death", the death of the doctor is called "pawn", the death of the scholar is called "Bulu", and the death of the common people is called "death". In later generations, the Tang Dynasty ritual system stipulated that "where the second grade or more is called dead, the fifth grade or more is called a pawn, and the last six grades are called death."
Today's burial is also exquisite, and there are "big collections" and "small collections". Dressing the deceased is done by placing the clothes in the room, then laying the bed, and then performing a dressing ceremony.
The master of the house had to remove the ornaments from his head and tie his hair around his head, and the man had to show his arms and weep incessantly as a sign of his grief. The celebrant began to dress the deceased, first on the bed, then on the hanging, and the deceased was supposed to wear nineteen new clothes, regardless of whether they were high or low.
After dressing, relatives wrapped the body in a quilt and tied it tightly with a skein. After that, the cloth bag, called "Mao", was divided into two parts, put on the corpse, and then covered with a quilt to cover the corpse. However, the people present today are already sparse, let alone crying, which is really unseemly. (To be continued.) )
