Chapter 31: Raiders
PS: World No. 3 is based on a novel, not a canonical history.
For example, Meng Ge, in the novel, died under the city of Xiangyang, and in the official history, he died in the process of going south to attack Sichuan. There are also many events and characters that appear at a time that are also different from the official history.
"Within these five thousand miles, all the evolutionary fierce beasts have been cleaned up, but there are still a lot of ordinary fierce beast activities. Your main task is to clean up these ordinary beasts. If you have the guts, you can also go out of the map. The tasks assigned by the Mercenary Guild include drawing maps of unfamiliar areas 5,000 miles away, and collecting information about various fierce beasts and geography in unfamiliar areas. The pay is very good, but I advise you to do what you can. ”
"In addition, in order to improve your security in this world, the Imperial Military will issue you with first-order armor for free. Now, let's all pick up the armor and take on the quest separately. ”
With that, Lu Bu turned around and walked away.
After Lu Bu left, the mercenaries began to talk.
Huang Rong looked at Lu Bu's gradually disappearing back and said, "This is Lu Bu?" Brother Jing, in the history of our world, this is a famous figure. ”
Guo Jing smiled and said, "He's very powerful." ”
"It's amazing." Ouyang Feng on the side still looked at the direction where Lu Bu disappeared, and said, "This person is powerful, it's just terrifying. Let's get started, let's go together, I'm afraid we are not the same enemy. ”
"Why are you talking so much," Hong Qi on the side laughed: "Hurry up, get the armor, take the task, let's see the scenery of this new world!" ”
The empire officially opened the curtain on the development of World No. 1, which made the world city gradually prosperous from the original deserted. Many businesses have seized the opportunity and set up branches in World City.
Especially for businesses that focus on ferocious beast resources.
The fur and bones of the beast. Even blood, but it is a good thing, it is extremely popular in the market, the profit is too big, and it is not worried about sales.
And there are new resources in the new world, except for the beast resources. There are others, such as new medicinal herbs, new wood, etc., which are a great treasure, waiting to be developed!
How many resources are there in a world?
What a fortune?!
Even a fool can imagine it.
As long as you can share a piece of profit from it, won't it be developed immediately?!
World Number Three.
Li Ji's ten brothers and sisters have been staying in the Zhao Song Imperial Palace, leaving the palace during the day to take a turn in Jiankang City, and experience the cultural scenery of the imperial capital of the Zhao and Song dynasties. When it gets dark, he goes back to the palace to rest, and he simply treats this Zhao Song Palace as his own back garden, which is very casual.
Although Zhao Yun was unhappy, he couldn't see it, and he didn't pay attention to it, just waiting for the mission to return and then make plans.
For the birth of the Origin Empire, the most uneasy. is not the civil and military ministers of Zhao Song, but he, the emperor of Zhao Song.
He knew it very well.
If the Origin Empire sends troops to attack. If you can't resist it, at that time, Zhao Song Qunchen will still have a day to come. And he, the official of Zhao and Song, has absolutely no chance to get up again.
Many times, when a person has reached a certain height, he has no chance of turning back.
It's like climbing a cliff. In the lower places, there is still a chance to turn back. But when you reach the top of the mountain, you can't turn back, and if you're not careful, you'll end up with broken bones.
Zhao Yun was very anxious. Silently waiting.
He hoped that everything Li Ji said was false and was lying to him.
I am most afraid of hearing that after Ding Daquan comes back, I will tell him that everything is true. He was reluctant to give up the empire, he enjoyed the throne of emperor and enjoyed a life of luxury.
However, before Ding Daquan returned, Meng Yuan was restless again.
In the early years, Meng Yuan destroyed the Western Xia, and took the Xichuan Zhulu, and confronted Zhao Song in the Jingxiang area. It is also thanks to Zhao Song's navy that the army is far away from Mengyuan, otherwise the situation is worrying.
Not long after Ding Daquan left, news came from the north that Meng Yuanxing's troops were heading south.
At the beginning, Zhao Song united with Meng Yuan and destroyed the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, and the original Guanzhong and Huaibei regions fell into the hands of Zhao Song after that battle to destroy the country.
But before Zhao Song Junchen was happy for too long, Meng Yuan repeatedly raised troops to the south to conquer, and Huaibei and Guanzhong fell one after another. Meng Yuan and Zhao Song concentrated their forces in the Tongguan area, the Huai River line, and the Xiangyang area, and began a protracted tug-of-war.
This time, Meng Ge, the great Khan of Mengyuan, personally led an army of 100,000 people, went out of the pass, went south to Jingxiang, and attacked Xiangyang.
Xiangyang is an important military town in the northwest of Zhao and Song dynasties, and once Xiangyang changes, Zhao and Song dynasties are in danger. Therefore, Zhao Song made great efforts to defend the line of defense in Xiangyang. Over the years, Meng Yuan has raised troops to the south several times, but they have all fallen under the city of Xiangyang.
Therefore, this time Meng Yuanxing attacked Xiangyang, but Zhao Song Junchen was quite calm.
They felt that Xiangyang was heavily guarded, and there was a lesson from Meng Yuan's repeated failures, so it was the same if they wanted to come this time.
However, Lu Wende, the general of Xiangyang Town, was uneasy, since Meng Yuan had broken the city several times, but this time the army was raised, the troops were more sufficient, and Meng Yuan Khan drove the expedition in person, this is not a joke, presumably Meng Yuan has some certainty!
But the court decided to do so, and Lu Wende was helpless.
He is just a military general, and in Zhao and Song, military generals don't talk about anything.
At the same time, due to the southward movement of Meng Yuanxing's troops, the Zhao Song army guarding Tongguan also shrank its forces, and even gave up several county towns controlled by the surrounding areas, such as Huayin County.
Originally, because of the Origin Empire, Zhao Song also stationed a considerable part of his troops in Huayin County. But Meng Yuan's illness is burned by fire, the most important thing is to guard Tongguan
Xiangyang.
The pattern of this city is not much different from that of the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, the river outside Xiangyang City was called Shuishui, and at this time, it was called Hanshui.
At the same time, the location of Xiangyang City has also withdrawn slightly to the south, and it is no longer so close to Fancheng to the north of the Han River.
The 100,000 army of Meng Yuan went out of Guanzhong, and arrived under Fancheng in one day, and did not rest, taking advantage of the situation to launch several attacks, which were repelled by Lu Wende with difficulty.
The defensive weapons of the Zhao and Song dynasties were mainly bronze cannons, powered by gunpowder, and the projectiles were solid.
Bronze cannons, in terms of power. It has slightly surpassed ordinary catapults and ballistas, but in terms of range, there has not been much improvement.
Meng Yuan repeatedly went south in his early years, and it was difficult to break through the Song army's defense line, because of this bronze cannon. So over the years, Meng Yuan has learned a lesson. The gourd was painted in the same way, and scholars also used this equipment to attack the city, so the advantage of the Song army gradually weakened.
The two sides set up a position, each pulled out a bronze cannon, and fired at each other for a while, and then Meng Yuancai waved his troops to attack the city.
For several days in a row, the north gate of Fancheng was beaten into a mess.
However, this city was specially built by Zhao Song at a huge cost. It is extremely strong, but there is no danger of collapse.
But even so, it was attacked by Meng Yuan several times, which made the Zhao Song defenders frightened and demoralized.
If the original trend of this martial arts world is followed, Guo Jingdang will lead the martial arts heroes to assist in defending the city, and even Yang Guo will kill Meng Ge in the military array.
Although it is said that on the frontal battlefield, these martial arts people are of little use. But he is a good hand at playing guerrilla, harassment, assassination, and so on.
But alas. The sudden appearance of the Origin Empire changed the general trend of this world, and this did not happen at all.
Guo Jing, as a leading figure, went to the Origin Empire to be a mercenary, and is now struggling in World No. 1.
Yang Guo, there is no Guo Jing in Xiangyang. He's definitely not going to come here. Now that he is with his aunt, it is too late to talk about love, where is the heart to pay attention to this?
So Lu Wende was uncomfortable.
In the face of Meng Yuan's fierce soldiers, Fancheng was in danger, and Lu Wende was even considering giving up Fancheng. Retreat to Xiangyang, south of the Han River, and with the help of the advantages of the Song army's naval army, the Mengyuan army was resisted on the north bank of the Han River.
But in this way, Fan Cheng was equivalent to giving Meng Yuan a springboard to gain a foothold in the south. No matter from the perspective of the overall strategic situation, or from the perspective of merits and demerits, once Lu Wende gives up Fancheng, he will definitely be unlucky.
The official Zhao Yun may not have much opinion, but those civil officials will definitely not let him go
The top of Huashan Mountain.
The exit of the dark space-time passage.
A brand-new altar was erected here, and on the altar, there were ox heads, whole sheep, and all kinds of sacrifices were neatly arranged, and under the altar, incense was around.
A group of soldiers dressed as Meng Yuan patrolled back and forth, glancing at the exit of the black hole-like space-time passage from time to time, with a look of awe.
But it turned out that when Meng Ge Xing's troops went south, Zhao Song gave up the cities around Tongguan such as Huayin County and gave them to Meng Yuan.
As a result, the space-time passage on the top of Huashan Mountain was known to Meng Yuan.
However, Meng Yuan didn't know the inside story and thought that he was a god, so a shaman came here to worship, and set up an altar, and left a team of soldiers to guard it.
Meng Ge also knew about this, thought it was auspicious, and was convinced that this time the army would inevitably win, so he announced to the whole army, which made the morale of the whole army great, and Lu Wende, who was fighting this time, had no power to fight back.
Suddenly, a foot stretched out from the space-time passage, and immediately, a tall figure covered in armor walked out of the black whirlpool!
The Meng Yuan soldiers patrolling on the side were all shocked when they saw it.
Hurriedly threw away the weapon, bowed to the ground, buckled his head, and exclaimed 'Immortal Heaven' in his mouth again and again!
The one who walked out of the space-time passage was the commander of the Imperial Southern Legion, Pound!
Pound stood with his sword pressed, looking at the altar, and he was also a little confused.
Looking at the Huyi soldiers who fell to the ground and shouted, they immediately frowned, strode across the altar, and pulled out their swords with a choking sound, and with a flash of rainbow light, more than a dozen heads rose to the sky!
This group of Mengyuan soldiers guarding the altar died unexplained. Until they died, they didn't know what was going on.
Pang De beheaded this group of Mengyuan soldiers, turned around and slashed again, and the huge altar was blown away by the battle qi and vacated the ground.
Immediately, a scribe walked out slowly.
After that, there were groups of soldiers, who walked out of the space-time passage in an orderly manner.
Guo Jia looked at the situation here, stepped forward, and said, "General Pang, what's going on?" He pointed to the human heads on the ground, and the sacrifices scattered all over the ground, somewhat inexplicably.
Pound shook his head: "I don't know. Just now when I came out of the space-time passage, there was an altar with various sacrifices on it, and these barbarian soldiers patrolled the side. When they saw me come out, they all bowed to the ground, shouting that if they sent troops to this world this time, let's take this team of barbarian sacrifice flags first. ”
Guo Jia nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that these barbarians regard the space-time passage as a miracle, and General Pang may have even made a miracle." ”
"It's a matter of vision."
Pound laughed: "If fifteen years ago, I am afraid I would not be much better than them." ”
Guo Jia nodded slightly.
This time, the empire, with the commander of the Southern Army Pound De as the commander and Guo Jia as the military division, led an army of 50,000 to conquer the No. 3 world.
Within the empire, the White Elm Department replaced Pound to guard the frontier beasts.
As a team of elite soldiers walked out of the space-time channel, soon, on the top of Huashan, the space became smaller and smaller.
Beside Pound, several generals stood quietly.
Pang De said: "Cheng Junhou, you will lead the cavalry troops, take the first step, and go down the mountain to take a foothold!" ”
On the side, Cheng Wu hugged his fists and saluted: "Obey!" ”
So he ordered the Sky Cavalry Division, which was the first to come out, to release their mounts, and then took off into the air and went down the mountain.
Pang De said again: "General Li Dao, it will be up to you to lead a thousand soldiers and horses first, and follow the cavalry troops. ”
"Whoa!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Dao led a thousand soldiers to quickly go down the mountain as if he were walking on the ground.
"There are generals from all departments, immediately lead all troops and horses down the mountain!" (To be continued......)
