Chapter 139: Xilin Jungle
Woo, another wolf roar that shook the nine heavens, the Diamond Rock Wolf King was already all over the place, and the Huaishui Army, which was frantically impacting, finally stopped its pace of advancement, and was blocked by the shield array to the south of the shield wall, unable to advance an inch.
In front of the pile of corpses all over the shield wall, some soldiers began to step on the corpses and jump over the shield wall, but they were assassinated by the diagonal spear volley, but the giant spear moved with difficulty, and soon revealed countless gaps, and was jumped into the formation by the other party.
But the Kuiba Army is not a soft persimmon, it is the most elite soldier of the Tianlong Empire, and then it is with Bai Qi's southern expedition to the north, experiencing countless wars, it can be said that the number of elite veterans accounts for seventy percent of the army, and the remaining thirty percent of the recruits, after three or four years of training, under the leadership of the veterans, have also shown their bravery.
These Huaishui Legions, which were formed by local clans and then cobbled together, are like small groups, which do not obey orders, and train soldiers with themselves as the center, so that the soldiers trained in this way are good-looking, but when they really fight, there is no organization, and they are completely fierce and ruthless, and there is no discipline.
On the other hand, the Kuiba army, with a degree of advance and retreat, is well organized, and the heavy shield soldiers are also immobile in the face of the enemy army rushing in the tide, and in the face of the enemy army that is constantly turning over, the division of labor is also clear, the pikemen retreat a few steps, and the spears can still stab the enemy troops on the shield wall, and in the space in front of them, there are teams of sword and shield soldiers who pounced.
It was almost an orderly slaughter, with corpses piled up higher and higher, and even the shield soldiers were almost buried in it.
Peng, Peng, Peng, suddenly three bright lights lit up in the sky, but the fireworks and arrows were lit up from the side of the Huaishui Army, but it was a reinforcement from the west, this part of the soldiers and horses was not much, but three battalions of cavalry, 1,500 people only.
The reinforcements from the west also lit up three arrows in the east, and they were also three battalions of elite iron cavalry, although the number of beast cavalry in the Kuiba army was relatively small, but the number of ordinary iron cavalry was quite a lot, only six battalions were dispatched, and only half of them were dispatched, but this was more than enough to deal with this Huaishui Army Alliance.
The two scimitars on the left and right of the side pierced in, and the Huaishui Army, which was bent on breaking through, was almost defenseless, and no one thought about guarding the rear, so this time, but it was a death, cavalry to infantry, that is one word, abuse.
Zhang Liao's camp does not even have any defensive facilities. There are no trenches, horse rejections, horse traps, etc. It's not that he's lazy, it's just that Zhang Liao calculated that the other party might be desperate, so he has already arranged it, and the direction that is most likely to break through is naturally the north, and the east is Tongshan County, so they killed it, and now the west has also fallen, and if they kill it, they can only encounter more Chu troops.
The open and unhindered camp naturally became the best battlefield for the cavalry, wreaking havoc in all directions, and this Huaishui army was simply vulnerable, and the crazy arrogance just now suddenly ran away like Sun Tzu after these two cavalry appeared.
Pengpeng, three more arrows exploded, dazzling fireworks added a bit of poignancy to this bloody battlefield, Beidaying, the rear army that was ready to attack after getting the order, suddenly from both sides of the shield wall suddenly killed, like a scalpel dismembering the Huaishui army in front.
"Kneel and don't kill!"
"Kneel and don't kill!"
I don't know who shouted first, and the Chu troops around them suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound was scattered at first, but it didn't take long for the voice to be neat, and more and more people joined, and the momentum became more and more terrifying.
More than 10,000 people, although there are a lot of dead and wounded, they can be killed cleanly, but after all, this is tens of thousands of people, even if you let you kill, it will take a lot of time, and in this night, it is not only a test for the attacking enemy, but also a test for the defenders, not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, if this side fights for too long, the Huaishui army in the city takes the opportunity to slip away, it is really a problem.
More and more soldiers surrendered, and the sound of the fight gradually became smaller, Zhang Liao's diamond rock wolf king stood on the pile of corpses, and roared in the sky again, the full moon above his head was shrouded in the blood mist in the air, glowing with blood-red light, lining the roar of the wolf king, but it made many people deeply afraid in their hearts.
The defenders in Guyun Town did not hold out for two days, and under the pressure of the Chu army, they finally chose to surrender, in fact, even if the leaders of these armies did not surrender, the soldiers under their command had already run most of the time in these two days, so they simply took advantage of the fact that they still had some chips to exchange their lives.
In the first year of the Great Chu Zhengshuo, Zhang Liao, the commander of the northern line of the Kuiba Army, commanded 50,000 troops to sweep the two northern counties of Jiyang Prefecture, occupied eleven counties in the north of Huaishui, and captured the middle section of Huaishui.
In addition to the great victory of Great Chu, the Tianlong army, which had been stationed at the foot of Mount Tai, also seized the opportunity to quickly move south, stationed in Shanghuai County, and at the same time occupied Qubu Zhen County in the north of Jiyang Prefecture, and the last strength of the Xinhuai army was also swallowed by the Tianlong Empire.
Without the barrier of the new Huai army, the Chu army and the Tianlong army finally faced each other, and the north wind was still gloomy for a period of time, both the Tianlong army and the Chu army were digesting the gains to mobilize more materials and the front, and waiting for the end of the winter, ready to fight.
The situation in Qingzhou has been temporarily eased, but Shuzhou, which has just passed a small cold and the temperature has warmed up, is constantly lively.
The Tang army crossed the Jinsha River, and as expected by the military aircraft, the king of Shu took the initiative to give up the Osmanthus Mansion, one of the eight prefectures in Sichuan, and gave up this piece of fat meat, but it was not given to the Tang army, but before leaving, he took the initiative to make a favor and give it to the Holy Sect.
In the face of this mansion, although this is a difficult bone to gnaw, but the Holy Sect still can't bear to give up, not to mention that even if it is not taken, the Tang army will not stop moving, and it will have to fight sooner or later, so it is natural to fight, even if it is occupied, and then withdraws, it is enough to scrape out three inches of oil.
Although the Shu Wangjun and the Holy Sect did not reach an alliance, at least in the face of the big tiger of the Tang Army, the two sides still had a tacit understanding to a certain extent, and such a change also complicated the situation in Shuzhong, but this has little to do with Dachu for the time being.
On the twentieth day of the first month of the first year of the Great Chu Zhengshuo, through the Longshan Road, the first 30,000 elites of the Chu army had arrived at an open camp in the depths of the Xilin jungle, which was built in the past half a year, and was located at the exit of Longshan Road, but for the sake of concealment, the road to the forest was not immediately built from here.
However, this army was followed by tens of thousands of barbarian road workers, who were the first batch of slaves to be captured, but now these people have a household registration in Dachu and are integrated into Dachu, and now these roadworkers belong to the Ministry of Industry, responsible for the construction of cities, roads and other places in Dachu, and receive quite a good salary, contributing to Dachu.
Of course, this barbarian roadworker is still in the name of the auxiliary army of the Chu army, and he has an extra military post, and these barbarians are all natural warriors, if there are not enough soldiers and horses on the front line, they can become warriors by distributing a weapon, which is more than enough to defend the city, and there is no need to worry about loyalty at all.
After a short rest in this large camp, the forbidden army was fully armed and ready for the next long-distance raid, and finally embarked on the journey.
Xilin County, most of the area is covered by the Xilin jungle, although the barbarian tribes here have blood relatives with the tribes in the wild jungle, but they have gone from the jungle to the open plain, and learned to cultivate grain, so the Tusi barbarians in Shu are very strong, the smallest tribe also has a thousand tents, and the tent is the smallest counting unit of the Tusi collar, very general, one account represents a household, but this household may be a person, or a large family, and the number of thousands of tents is about two thousand to four thousand people.
However, in the tribe, only those strong warriors are eligible to open accounts independently, that is, to divide the family, so this number also represents the minimum number of warriors in the tribe.
The Black Forest tribe is such a small tribe, their tribe is built in the area between the Xilin jungle and the plain, there is a river passing through the tribe, this land is naturally not as fertile as most of the Xilin with the vast plain, but it is more than enough to feed their tribe.
The Heilin tribe is dependent on the Xilin tribe, and the entire Xilin County is also under the rule of most of Xilin, so the internal stability is quite stable, and there is little friction between the tribes, and the Heilin tribe in addition to paying a tribute every year, when fighting against other tribes, the soldiers in the tribe have to be drawn for the Xilin tribe to drive, and almost every year, there are 300 Heilin warriors in most of Xilin to fight.
Although the tribute takes half of the tribe's output, and there are not a few warriors who die outside every year, but this payment is exchanged for the tranquility and peace of the Black Forest tribe, far away from the war, the Black Forest tribe, like the imperial people, farming, hunting, and living a life of sunrise and daily income.
This is a peace-loving tribe, but war always accompanies it, another smoke-curling sunset, chasing and frolicking barbarian boys in the forest before grabbing their beloved woman and pressing her under him, before his big hands tore open the animal skin bust wrapped in the full chest of the other party, enjoying the gentle slippery.
A dangerous wind struck from the back of his head, and the barbarian boy had been trained in the cruel jungle since he was a child, and his reaction was very fast, hugging the barbarian girl under him, and rolling but dodging the knife.
Xin Cheng raised his knife, looked at the barbarian boy who dodged his knife, and couldn't help chuckling, "The reaction is not slow!"
"Tsk, what a barbarian girl! It's a comparison with the mother-in-law in my family, I said Lao Xin, you don't always want a barbarian woman, I think this is good, and it's very tender." ”
"you, I'm not as greedy as you, boy, which tribe are you from, say it, I can consider letting you go!"
Gumu Zabi looked at a majestic leopard riding in front of him, the leopard's body flashed with a cold and cold blade, and several similar cavalrymen appeared around one after another, and immediately protected his woman's body, and said, "Are you poachers?"
"Poachers?" Xin Cheng shook his head and said, "Answer my question, boy, I don't have the patience to talk nonsense with you here!"
