Chapter 166: The Tao is ruthless but affectionate
In this ghost weather, Cao Ren, who had been a long section for a while, touched the rain on his face, and the heavy rain came too suddenly, and Cao Jun hurriedly set up several camps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSince it was a rapid march, there were not many things to bring, and most of the soldiers were drenched in the rain.
The people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, except for Cheng Yu, Cao Yun and Xiahou Meng who took shelter from the rain in the temporary marching tent, even Cao Cao gathered with all the soldiers, and the morale that had been somewhat discouraged rebounded.
"General, when can we get out?" , a soldier with his face up, his helmet looking extraordinarily wide.
Half the eldest eats the poor father, he seems to be a little younger than Cao Ren, and he didn't know who recruited him when he was recruited.
"What's your name?" Cao Cao said softly: "Can you eat enough in the barracks every day?" ā
Just as a gust of wind blew, the raindrops that swept up everywhere hit everyone, and the sound was drowned out.
Cao Cao stood there without moving, the armor he was wearing had entered the water, and he also felt cold in the late spring and early summer in Rinan.
It's not to pretend to be cool or anything, Cheng Yu asked everyone to wear armor on their bodies, God knows what intrigues and tricks the enemies around them will have, or wear a little safer.
It is said that the natives will not have so many strategies, but the Ou family itself is a descendant of the king of Nanyue.
As for the lineage and the branch, what is the difference? Maybe the original King of Yue casually found a palace maid to do errands, and the bead fetus was secretly knotted, so he gave birth to a child and became the prince of the ancient Yue Kingdom.
The wind seemed to be gone, it was blowing continuously, and the weeds around it, the water droplets on the branches and leaves, under the blessing of the gale, hit the soldiers of the Cao army indiscriminately, crackling.
The gust of wind finally passed, and the leaves of the vegetation in the valley turned over, revealing the backs of the leaves, which looked a little white.
Unexpectedly, the strong wind can still blow away the heavy rain, and there are a few scattered stars floating in the sky from time to time, and the sun comes out again at some point, and it looks like it is about to set. The soldiers' shivering bodies had a hint of warmth in the sun.
"General, what were you talking about?" The half-grown boy, at first, saw Cao Cao standing upright beside him, and he also puffed up his chest, facing the wind and rain like a little adult.
Xiahou Yuan thought this little guy was interesting, helped him take off his helmet, and shook off the stagnant water inside. Visible heat came out of the boy's head.
"Don't get sick," Cao Cao patted the child on the shoulder: "You can eat as much as you can, what we have is food." ā
When Cao Ren heard the food, he felt hungry for no reason, but he could only endure it.
He is a member of the Cao family, and he can't embarrass his eldest brother.
To be precise, this valley does not resemble a gourd, but rather a small boat.
The vertical distance from the hills on both sides to the valley is about 30 zhang, and the slopes are not very steep.
The middle of the valley is very open, three or four miles wide.
Originally, when the soldiers of Linyi first started, in addition to blocking the valley mouths on both sides with earth and stones, they also clamored for archery.
It's a pity that there is a lack of iron here, and what bamboo arrows and wooden arrows have limited lethality. Later, Cao Jun put on armor, and even if the arrows on the mountains on both sides were shot down, they did not hit the body of the person and fell to the ground.
The soldiers in armor went to collect arrows as if they were showing off, and they had to make dinner, and after thinking about it for a long time, they remembered that only this thing was flammable, otherwise those wet leaves and so on, except to bring a lot of smoke, there was no way to burn them.
The soldiers of Linyi were angry, but it was a pity that the arrows shot down from the mountain, unless they were shot out like the warriors, were exhausted when they reached the ground, and they were useless. In addition, bamboo arrows and wooden arrows also cost time to make.
On the top of the mountain, the people of the district family were a little disappointed, and they surrounded the enemy in the valley, but there was nothing they could do.
If it weren't for Cao Jun's concern for the lives of his soldiers and his reluctance to attack the valley passes on both sides, maybe they would have broken through long ago.
At this time, several important people from the district family accompanied a young man to make the inspection.
"Who is this person?" The soldiers of Lin Yi are not calm, when did they see the people of the Ou family so cautious?
What's even stranger is that this person is not very old, and he always has a faint smile on his face.
He occasionally smiled at ordinary soldiers, making people think that this noble son was looking at him.
From time to time, he turned his head to look at Cao Jun in the valley, and his eyebrows raised for no reason.
"Huayu Gongzi, do you think we can annihilate Cao Jun this time?" The old man on the side had sparkling eyes, and if he stared at someone casually, it would make people feel painful, obviously a strong grandmaster.
"Duke De, our Ouyang family is a family in itself, don't be too polite in front of me." Huayu Gongzi was very modest: "In this case, if my grandfather and ancestors knew about it, they would clean me up." ā
The old man next to him smiled awkwardly, after all, he is a grandmaster, and he still needs a face, and others say it so obviously, you shouldn't have to keep a shy face.
"It's not difficult to annihilate them, remove the barricades at the valley mouth on both sides, it's a big deal to sacrifice more than a dozen elephants."
"That's not good," Degong felt incredulous: "There are not many elephant soldiers on your mountain master's side, and every sacrifice is a great loss." ā
"No matter how fierce an elephant is, it's just an animal," Huayu Gongzi's expression was flat: "Elephant soldier elephant soldier, with the word soldier added to the back, is to fight." It is inevitable that the general will die in battle, let alone an animal? ā
"But don't stop our soldiers when the elephants are attacking, as they did last time, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. I found that there seemed to be more soldiers killed in our army than Cao's. ā
"What does that Childe mean?" Degong is not ignorant of soldiers, since the district family dares to establish a country, and also fights with the Han court and Funan, war is inevitable, which district family did not grow up in the bloody wind?
Huayu Gongzi didn't answer immediately, he despised the old man in front of him very much, as a strong grandmaster, he kept the rules that grandmasters don't fight, and said that the other party might have a grandmaster, aren't you just afraid of death?
The old mountain master, who is also the ancestor of the family, said that the warrior itself should be brave and diligent, and the Yue Kingdom did fail at the beginning.
After arriving in South Vietnam, it took hundreds of years to penetrate into Sanmiao's interior and successfully became Sanmiao's spokesman.
The Ouyang family's interest has changed from founding a country to martial arts cultivation, since through cultivation can obtain much more lifespan than ordinary people, why bother fighting the enemy on the battlefield to the death?
However, a warrior should move forward bravely and not deliberately fight, and the enemy will not hesitate to fight back.
Your district family is just a branch of our royal family, and now we are helping you protect your family and defend the country, okay?
Huayu Gongzi said something else: "Naturally, after the enemy killed the elephant, they have not yet come to their senses, and that is the best time for us to charge into battle." ā
How does he not love elephants? Ride them when you're young and grow up with them. However, the elephant soldier, as he himself said, is a tool used in battle.
Seeing the scene in the valley, the faces of Huayu Gongzi and Degong were so gloomy that they wanted to drip water.
Cao Jun stewed the elephant meat, and the aroma of the meat wafted to the mountain, making the soldiers of the district family salivate.
The wounded soldiers were the first to eat meat, and with so much meat, the soldiers of the Cao Army could eat it with their bellies open tonight.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Cao Cao personally picked up a bowl of elephant meat and fed a wounded soldier with a smile.
Although he was only a third-rate martial artist, he could also feel the eyes of the district family on the mountain who wanted to eat people. (To be continued.) )
