Chapter 61: Flooding Meng Shu!
"Ballista Essentials Item Level: Purple Legend. Delivered to the blacksmith for research, which can be used to build repeater carts to equip the army. This item is a one-time item. ”
Zhou Qizheng felt a little powerless for the slow refresh of the tips for summoning the shooting oars and stronghold oars, and when he saw this scroll of design drawings for making repeater cars, he was overjoyed after a short period of surprise.
In the era of cold weapons, it makes a lot of sense to have a powerful long-range force in formation. It is believed that no cavalry unit can survive the heavy crossbow attack of flying locusts!
If you want to do something, you must first have a sharp weapon!
Wars of any era, even in the Three Kingdoms Peerless World, which exaggerates the ability of military generals, are inseparable from the development and development of weapons and equipment. Once the Ballista can be equipped with armies on a large scale. Zhou Qi had a feeling that before the battle between the two armies, his army would achieve an overwhelming advantage!
After carefully checking whether there were other special items for sale in the school, Zhou Qi hurried to the blacksmith shop. He wasn't worried about whether he could make a repeater.
With the cheat-like horse Oz, let alone a ballista, give him enough time, maybe this guy can even whip you up with a Katyusha bazooka!
Three hours later, dawn had fallen.
Zhou Qi walked out of the door of the blacksmith shop and stretched his waist. The look on his face was extremely excited, and there was not a trace of tiredness to be found. Looking at the white sky, his expression was straight, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
This kind of weather should have been a time of sunshine and a good harvest. But it is destined to become a day of rivers of blood and corpses everywhere!
In the distance, stepping through the undispersed mist in the mountains, spears and halberds shone brightly under the newborn sun, dazzling cold light. The army of 100,000 got up on the third shift and cooked on the fifth shift. After a full breakfast, the Southern Barbarians marched in a neat procession to the sound of earth-shattering brass drums and trumpets.
Meng Huo and his wife Zhu Rong stood on the backs of two war elephants that were obviously larger than their peers. Walking in the ranks of the middle army.
suffered a big loss last night, and Meng Shu's face didn't look very good. The murderous aura emanating from his body made the elephant that Mrs. Zhurong was riding a position behind him, keeping a considerable distance from him.
With the attribute bonus provided by Meng Huo, the Nanban soldiers walked like flying. In just one morning, I walked nearly 200 miles.
And at this moment, the clear autumn sky suddenly changed suddenly!
The rolling clouds are like ink spit out of a squid's mouth! In the blink of an eye, a round of golden sun obscured the sky, dyeing the sky black!
"Click" with a thunderclap! Boom and thunder!
Hearing this, Meng Shu looked up at the sky. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. But that's all. In such a season, even if it rains heavily, it is mostly a pass, and it does not last long.
Just as he was thinking about it!
The bean-sized raindrops began to fall sporadically. There was a sparse rustle in the endless wilderness!
With a few electric snakes turning over the clouds, the sky and earth, which was as dark as dusk at noon, were flashed into a miserable white by the silver-white electric light!
"Wow!"
In the heart-wrenching thunder, this rain is coming, and the raindrops of beans are densely connected! In the blink of an eye, the boundless rain blurred the vision, and the sky seemed to be pouring down!
The rain is pouring down!
Seeing the four fields as white as the world in the water, Zhu Rong's slender willow eyebrows were raised, and he patted the head of the sitting war elephant with the long pole in his hand. hurried a few steps and kept pace with Meng Huo.
"King! Why not give the order to let the three armies camp in place and wait until the rain has passed and the sky clears before leaving? ”
Meng Shu turned his head and glanced at the lady who was completely wet. The gaze lingered greedily for a moment on the plump twin peaks of her chest reflecting the light of the water.
"Huh! It's a great time to get in! No matter how the group of soft-footed Han people in Wuling City guessed, they could not have imagined that our army would march in such a torrential rain. Just to catch them off guard! ”
"But the king! Not far ahead is the river beach, such a heavy rain, it is inevitable that the river will rise, if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack with water! I'm afraid it's not good for our army! ”
"Humph! Madame is too worried! The rain only fell for a moment, not for ten days and a half. Even if he attacks with water, can this water reach his waist or can he have no legs? ”
Hearing Meng Shu say this, Zhu Rongqiao's face was cold, and his forehead was upside down! The long pole that controlled the elephant in his hand split his head and covered his face, and he pulled it towards Meng Shu!
"You brute don't know how important it is! Mother, I have been talking to you for a long time, and I give you a little face to be a king in front of everyone, you have a good temper! Well? ”
"Oops!" Meng was caught off guard and was firmly pumped on the shoulder by the long pole. The corners of his mouth twitched in pain. He touched the swollen red mark on his shoulder with his hand, and was about to attack. I saw that my fierce mother-in-law had a pair of apricot eyes wide open, obviously she was already really angry! With a grunt, he swallowed the angry shout that came to his mouth.
Facing Zhu Rong's compulsive gaze, Meng Xu's eyes flickered, he turned his head, and turned to glare angrily at the herald who was waiting on the side!
"Give Lao Tzu an order! Shelter from the rain! Wait for the rain to subside before marching! ”
"Humph! Count you brute man knowing! If you dare to say a word today, you will never want to climb the old lady's bed from now on. ”
After saying that, Zhu Rong glared at him fiercely, reached out and took a leather armor made of rhinoceros leather nitrate from the elephant's back and draped it on his body, covering his full chest. At the same time, a pair of metal armour was placed on his left arm. As soon as he took care of himself, the war elephant strode forward.
After an hour of rainstorming, it came to an abrupt end! In the vast wilderness, the water was up to the ankles. From afar, it looks like a muddy yellow. Color.
At the beginning of the rainstorm, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed as they had come. An autumn day reflects a magnificent rainbow in the clear sky.
Meng Shu didn't have time to enjoy the view of the sky. was blocked by the torrential rain before, which already made him a little anxious. Now new troubles are coming. The mud, which had been soaked in the rain, was suddenly muddy like a swamp when it was basked by the sun.
The soldiers and war elephants were fine, they only walked on their feet, and it was already raining in Nanzhong, and this bit of mud was just a trivial matter for them. However, the cart transporting supplies became a burden in an instant.
The donkeys, horses, and buffaloes pulling the carts were beaten with whips, but they had a hard time. Once the wheels are stuck in the mud. It was often necessary to send soldiers to carry it out before it could move forward. The pace of the march was slowed down by this delay.
Seeing that the sun was turning westward, compared to the morning when they were rushing all the way, in the next two hours of the afternoon, Meng Shu's 100,000 troops only advanced dozens of miles. Kankan arrived at the river beach 50 miles outside the south gate of Wuling County!
Meng Shu urged the war elephant and trotted all the way to the front army. Sitting on the back of an elephant and looking down. I saw a river in front of me, the water surface was about ten zhang wide, and the water flow was not very turbulent. Perhaps after the rainstorm, the river was so muddy that it was impossible to see the depths.
Meng Shu thought about it for a moment, slapped the war elephant's head with a long pole, and walked towards the river. When the elephant reached the middle of the river, he looked down and saw that the river had only submerged half of the elephant's legs, and it was only about one person deep, and he couldn't help laughing.
"This is what Madame is talking about water attack? Passing on the King's Decree! The whole army crosses the river! When it gets dark, wave the army under the city of Wuling! ”
"Pass the king's order! The whole army crosses the river and waves the army to Wuling! As the sergeant passed the order, the sound of the brass drum and trumpet, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again!
Near the river beach, there are already fine soldiers who have probed the shallow section of the water. Immediately, dozens of war elephants dragged up long iron locks behind them, and when they crossed the river bank first, the sergeants of their own forward battalion used long iron chisels to fix the iron locks on the ground.
The army divided into several routes, holding iron locks, and went into the water one after another. With the help of the iron lock, the speed of crossing the river is very fast. Except for the grain and grass that could not be passed, in just a few moments, a small half of the army crossed to the opposite bank!
Just at this time! There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance!
Meng Shu and Zhu Rong's faces changed, and they looked up at the sky.
At this moment, the sunset is in the sky, and the sun is setting! Except for the slight humidity in the air, the weather is wonderful! This is for no reason, how can it thunder on a sunny day?
Zhu Rongxing's eyes rolled, and her eyes looked suspiciously in the direction where the thunder came from.
The water flows eastward! This thunder is in the west! Thinking of the methods used by the people who attacked the camp alone last night, Zhu Ronghuarong suddenly lost his color!
Not good! There are ghosts in the upper reaches of the river!
She turned her head to look at Meng Shu, but saw that Meng Shu also had a shocked look on his face. Apparently I also see the problem!
"The front army advances, and the rear army retreats!" Meng Huo opened his mouth and yelled! Hurriedly ordered the soldiers to disperse to both sides!
However, just as he didn't finish speaking!
"Boom!" Along the river, a wide white line can be faintly seen coming from afar!
The width of the white line is about several miles! It's coming!
Faintly, you can hear the sound of a waterfall falling high! When the sound comes to your ears, there are still white lines in front of you!
In the roaring water like thunder, I saw a huge wave more than ten meters high, like an angry tide, swallowing up mountains and trees along the way, and washed down the river towards the army!
The rolling turbidity current, like a galloping horse, is unstoppable!
"Oops! Regret not listening to Madame! This king has fallen for the birdman's scheme! Meng Huo looked up to the sky and shouted! He jumped off the elephant's back, grabbed a boulder the size of a dining table next to him with both hands, and threw himself into the oncoming flood peak!
"What kind of dementia do you stupid guy! Why don't you take the soldiers to dodge! "Mrs. Zhurong scolded! Urging the sitted war elephant, he rushed to Meng Huo's side, and an inverted bead curtain hung down from the elephant's back, grabbed Meng Huo's little giant-like body, like a straw, and lifted him on the elephant's back lightly! The long pole slammed down, urging the elephant to run!
It's too late, it's too soon! Just when the two of them urged the war elephant and avoided it in a panic!
The torrent of heavenly wrath has rushed to the front of the Southern Barbarian army!
It's like a scoop of water poured on an ant's nest!
The army at its peak was swallowed up by this merciless torrent in an instant! What's even more terrifying is that before they could struggle in the water, they found that there were countless giant trees floating in the water!
Driven by the flow of water, this giant tree roared in, and it was impossible to stop it! If you rub it, you die, and if you touch it, you will be crippled! In the blink of an eye, the small half torrent was stained scarlet with blood!
Relying on the brute strength of the war elephants, Meng Shu and Zhu Rong, who had finally escaped the scope of the flood, climbed up and stopped on a high ground by the river to take a look down.
I saw that there was not one out of ten elite soldiers under his command! Most of them have been washed away by the flood and have gone nowhere!
Meng was dumbfounded! These are all soldiers he has trained for many years! Now before they have met the enemy, they are almost completely annihilated!
With this in mind, he stood up on the back of the elephant and pointed in the direction of the upper reaches of the river!
"Birdman! The king knows you did it! This time I will never die with you! ”
