Chapter Twenty-Three: Catch Alive
Chapter Twenty-Three: Catch Alive
The most eye-catching thing is the vulture bone, he did not line up with the brigade to advance forward, but buried his head in the Eastern Wu army. Everywhere he passed, there were few heads and severed limbs, and the most common was flesh, because most of the people who were hit by his mace would become a puddle of rotten flesh, and the flesh was blurred, and it was difficult to distinguish between there and there.
Dozens of personal soldiers followed him, protecting his rear, and a team of people was like a tank, no, it should be said that it was more like a bulldozer plowing through the Eastern Wu army, plowing a bloody road. Along the way, the vultures killed people, and he swept down obstacles with a huge mace.
The vulture didn't go there, but looked at the position of Shuai Qi and went straight over, killing gods and ghosts along the way, and even the rows of horses in front of Ding Feng's headquarters were smashed to pieces by his mace.
He shouted as he rushed forward: "Where is Ding Feng'er, dare to fight with a certain one for three hundred rounds?" ”
Ding Feng saw a giant who was one foot tall and wearing a hideous rattan armor coming towards him, and he was still shouting that he was going to fight with him, and the fighting spirit in his heart was also stimulated. After all, he is also a general who has been charging for many years, but he has a lot of blood in his bones.
So, without saying a word, he picked up his hardcore gun, and when he came out of the crowd, he was about to fight with the vultures. The hillside is not suitable for horse fighting, and it is convenient for both sides to fight on foot, and foot fighting is the strength of the vulture bone.
As soon as the two of them touched, the vulture bone smashed over with a mace, and Ding Feng raised the iron spear with both hands and took the stick hard. Only hearing a "bang", Ding Feng took a few steps back, and after he stood still, he found that his hands were cracked, and there was a pain in his heart.
When he looked closely, the egg-thick iron spear in his hand had been bent, and with just one move, he suffered a big loss, not only was he injured, but even the iron-cast gun shaft was smashed and bent. This time, he was stunned, how much strength should this barbarian have?
Liu Hou used a telescope to see the vulture bone and Ding Feng handing each other in the distance, and secretly exclaimed: "Not good! "Immediately call the pro-soldiers, let him run over quickly, and inform the vulture bone to catch him alive. Liu Hou believed that if he didn't intervene strongly, the vulture would definitely smash Ding Feng's head into a rotten watermelon, and he knew the vulture too well to know that he had this habit.
Before Ding Feng could sigh, the second stick of the vulture bone came again, and it was still a "whew", and the thick mace cut through the air and smashed at Ding Feng. Ding Feng was a spirit, and fell to the ground in a hurry, and a lazy donkey rolled to avoid this fatal blow.
He originally thought that except for Zhao Yun in the Shu camp, there was no one who was his opponent anymore, and he thought that he would encounter such a barbarian today, who was so powerful that he couldn't even catch a move from others.
The vulture bone smashed into the air with a stick, and immediately lifted the mace and smashed it down, like a whack-a-mole. Since Ding Feng was already lying on the ground, he simply broke the jar and continued to roll on the ground to dodge the big stick.
Liu Hou looked at the situation here with a telescope from a distance, and thought to himself, is this Ding Feng the ancestor of the Earth Boxing? How about rolling around on the ground?
Ding Feng is so depressed that he is dying now, he has been fighting for many years, which time he didn't rush to kill, which time he didn't fight against people. Not to mention victory, even if it is defeat, it is a glorious defeat, how could there have been such a wolf bèi, such a humiliating moment.
Ding Feng was unwilling and unwilling to fail in such humiliation, so he did not forget to use his brains to find a way to turn the situation around when he rolled in the wolf to dodge the "whack-a-mole" stick of the vulture bones.
Finally, he found a chance, after the vulture bone smashed on the ground, he saw that the vulture bone exposed a gap, he seized this opportunity, with the iron gun bent in his hand, exerted all his strength, and stabbed the vulture bone in the chest with a shot.
He was confident that his shot would be able to pierce the rattan armor and smash it straight into the heart of the vulture. However, what he didn't know was that as the commander of the vine armor army and the lord of the Ugo country, the vine armor on his body was not an ordinary product, but was made of hundred-year-old vines.
With Ding Feng's skill, he can indeed pierce ordinary rattan armor, but he can't do anything about this old rattan rattan armor that is not known how many times stronger than the protective power. Ding Feng struck with all his strength, and the head of the spear pierced into the rattan armor, only the outer rattan of the rattan armor broke, but he was powerless to hurt the inner rattan in the slightest.
The vultures were also pushed back by this force. When he found that Ding Feng had made a small hole on the surface of the rattan armor on his body, he was furious and pulled the mace in his hand faster and harder.
Just listen to "Boom! Ding Feng's iron spear was finally hit, and Ding Feng's hand had been injured with all his strength in the blow just now, and he could no longer hold the iron spear in his hand.
After the vulture bone was hit successfully, he didn't stay long, and immediately smashed Ding Feng with a stick. Under the blow just now, Ding Feng was injured again, and he was desperately dodging just now, consuming a lot of body, and for a while, he couldn't avoid this stick.
Seeing that this stick was about to hit his head, Ding Feng was desperate, he couldn't help but close his eyes and wait for death, at this time, a coquettish shout suddenly came from his ears: "General Wu's subordinates are merciful!" ”
The waiting death did not come, Ding Feng was very familiar with this voice, he was taken aback, opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed Zhou Xue, it seemed that the two pro-soldiers still did not guard her.
Zhou Xue stood in front of Ding Feng, and the mace was only an inch away from her face. Fortunately, the vulture bone did not redden, did not get dizzy, and saw that the woman who often appeared next to the prince suddenly appeared in front of him, and put away the smashed mace in time.
But obviously, this sudden braking was also a great burden for him, his face was red with suffocation, his hands holding the mace trembled, and it was very difficult to slowly put the mace on the ground, put his hands on it, and gasped for a few breaths before asking:
"Why did Miss Zhou stop me from killing this bird?"
"General Wu, the crown prince once promised me that every general of the Wu Kingdom would give me a chance to persuade them to surrender. So, you can't hurt his life. ”
"It's not fun! The Eastern Wu soldiers are all paper-tied, and they will rot when they are smashed, and they finally meet one that can be smashed a few more, so they will stop you as a girl. It hurt me not at all. ”
At this moment, the personal soldiers sent by Liu Hou finally ran out of breath, and under the strict orders of the prince, he used his strength to eat, and rushed all the way at a speed of 9.9 seconds per 100 meters, and finally caught up with the last moment. Of course, thanks to Zhou Xue's stopping, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch up anyway.
"Too ...... The prince, the prince has an order, to catch, to catch alive. Ding Feng, catch alive. The soldier gasped as he pointed incoherently at Ding Feng to convey Liu Hou's order to the vulture.
Although the vulture bone man was a bit confused, he was not too stupid, he knew that Zhou Xue was right, and there was a precedent for this matter, he had seen Zhou Xue save Han Dang for the same reason. The point is, even the crown prince has sent someone to give the order, and he knows that there will be no chance to smash this guy's head again. So, he no longer entangled with Ding Feng, but waved his hand back.
A few soldiers came out from behind him, took out a rope, and tied Ding Feng strongly. After doing this, he didn't stay anymore and continued to rush to the depths of the Eastern Wu Army's camp.
Zhou Xue and a few personal soldiers escorted Ding Feng in the opposite direction and walked back to the Shu army. After losing its main general, the Eastern Wu army was in chaos and was defeated by the vine armor army. After all, the Shu army has few people, and it is difficult to clean up in the face of the rout all over the mountains and fields.
Throughout the hillside, there were still groups of Eastern Wu soldiers in their dying struggles. It can be seen that the military quality of these Eastern Wu soldiers is not bad, even if the front line collapses, even if the main general is captured, there are still many people who insist on resisting the enemy.
When Liu Hou saw this situation, his brows furrowed, and he thought about it. He ordered someone to find a cross made by the Eastern Wu army before, regardless of Zhou Xue's objections, tied Ding Feng to it, and specially posed for him in the shape of Jesus, and then sent a few strong men in the army to carry this sacred object to various resistance points.
Not to mention, this trick worked quite well, and those sporadic resistances, after seeing Ding Feng tied to the cross, quickly surrendered one after another.
However, due to the large number of the Eastern Wu army and the small number of Shu soldiers, the Shu army was busy until noon the next day before it could be considered to be completely in control.
In this battle, nearly 20,000 Eastern Wu soldiers were killed and more than 30,000 were captured. The number of prisoners was much greater than the number sent by the Shu army.
Liu Hou was both pleased and worried. Happily, in this era, population is undoubtedly a resource, is wealth, the worry is that this time I sent 13,000 troops, but captured a little more than 30,000 people, close to a ratio of one to three, these more prisoners, how to manage? How to deal with it?
If one is not careful, and they are devoured, then there is no place to cry. I wanted to find someone to help with these things, only to find that no one could help me.
Liu Hou was worried that several young generals would not be able to control the scene, so after Guo Youzhi discussed the plan for the fall of the Black Eagle with him, he asked Guo Youzhi to rush back to another battlefield. It was the position of blocking the Soochow rescue forces, and its importance is self-evident.
Liu Hou's worries were superfluous, in that blocking position, the Shu army occupied a favorable terrain and held the only way for Eastern Wu to rescue Ding Feng, Lu Xun wanted to rescue Lu Xun, he had to pass through Guò here, so he was left with only one way to attack the dangerous pass.
Lu Xun didn't think about sending people to make a detour, but there were either cliffs or primeval forests on both sides of this blocking position, and it was impossible for the large army to pass through Guò. Moreover, the hot air balloon of the Shu army monitored the dynamics of the Eastern Wu Army at high altitude, and any movement of the Eastern Wu Army could not hide from the eyes of the Shu army.
Although the Eastern Wu army has a new type of bed crossbow with prevention and control weapons, the Shu army already knows this and refuses to be fooled anymore, and the hot air balloon always flies high, far away from the range of the bed crossbow, and reconnoites the enemy with the help of telescopes.
Lu Xun and Zhou Tai led the men and horses of their headquarters to storm the positions of the Shu army day and night. However, the Shu army, which has long-range strike weapons, relies on the terrain to hold on, where can the cold weapons troops of the Eastern Wu Army attack.
The Shu army also divided the men and horses into three parts, twelve hours and three shifts in turn to defend the position, with the help of this sharp firearms, the Eastern Wu people attacked for three days and three nights not only could not advance an inch, but lost the army.
