Chapter 80: Beidou in the Sky

Three days later, Sun Deng and I set out on time, and this time Sun Deng did not take anyone with him, nor did he tell anyone where he was going, not even his attendants.

In the past three days, I have already made the turtle spirit mountain model clear. This mountain is 300 zhang high, the mountain is steep, strange trees are everywhere, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Originally, this was a small stronghold in Liu Zhang's time, but because its geographical location and deployment were not important, it was a waste of troops to store troops here, so we abandoned it. At this time, there were more than 800 barbarians from various tribes stationed on the mountain, all of whom were invited by Liu Zhang, and there was no such big leader as Meng Shu, except for the King Duosi of the Bald Dragon Cave, the rest were representatives sent by each cave.

They came here mainly to discuss joining forces with Liu Zhang to attack Yizhou together, but they didn't know that they had traveled thousands of miles to here, and the situation suddenly changed, and the two sides that were going to fight were actually together, and there was nowhere to place them, so they sent them here. Regardless of whether the peace talks are held or not, Nanzhong will be the help of Soochow and there will be no harm, so these people, Soochow still have to find a way to get together.

In the same way, they are here, but it is convenient for me. As long as I make a surprise attack, catch all of them, and win their hearts, these people will already affect the future direction of Nanzhong, and maybe Nanzhong will be able to take it easily and will not rebel in the future.

Zhao Yun came here as early as yesterday with a rapid march of the white-eared elite soldiers. The vanguard eliminated the liaison personnel of Soochow and the barbarian outposts, found out the path, surrounded the front and rear mountains, and could attack the mountains only after an order.

Looking up, the barbarians on the mountain were all looking out uneasily. Leaving the place of survival and seeing the vast number of barbarians in the world generally have a sense of inferiority, and it is difficult to have the spirit of not fearing death when doing war in their hometown. There are so many things they don't know in this world that it's hard to do anything with the courage of flesh alone. However, there is a stone city on the top of this mountain, and the barbarians in front of the wall have set up layers of wooden fences, which are full of snakes and insects for protection. The city walls are all made of huge stones, and there are four huge arrow towers built in Sijie. It's pretty sturdy.

Before we arrived, the barbarians had organized many negotiations and breakouts, but they all failed. Zhao Yun neither ignored them nor let them go, and when he got closer, he shot them back with a random arrow. So they returned to the city and held out, ready to fight our army to the death.

Standing at the corner of the mountain, Sun Deng looked up and asked, "Cousin, do you still have a hobby of hunting barbarians?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Never, but this time it was an exception." ”

"Why?"

"Because there is a man on that mountain who will command the python."

Sun Dengyi gritted his teeth: "Can you catch it alive?" ”

"Try it. Summoned the order, let the fourth uncle start to persuade him to surrender. ”

The flag waved, forty rattan players flew forward, and the fourth uncle rode forward. Unlike the Wei army's solid wood, covered with the giant of raw cowhide, the cards used by the Han army are mostly rattan cards, the old rattan is braided, both light and strong, people squat, just block the head and the whole body, the ability to prevent is not inferior to the wooden shield, light but far better. The barbarians on the mountain were terrified, and scattered arrows were mixed with pike and darts, but they were all blocked by rattan cards. It is rainy and humid in the south, and the barbarians rarely use bows and arrows, so there are small bows and arrows that are also very close in range, and they are usually placed in special leather bags to prevent moisture. Such arrows are almost useless in the northern battle array, but the pike and darts are more lethal. And those arrow towers are too far away from the barbarians' wooden fences, so they can't be used. However, the weapons of the barbarians in Nanzhong are mostly coated with tiger medicine, as long as they are injured, they will be poisoned, although they will not die, but they will also suffer a living crime.

The fourth uncle shouted: "Listen to the people inside, quickly throw down their weapons, go out of the city and surrender, otherwise, they will be killed." ”

The barbarians inside shouted: "We have never known what surrender is, and if you have the ability, let's attack!" The barbarians laughed to themselves, and one of them stood on the wall, unbuttoned his pants, and peed down the mountain.

The fourth uncle frowned, took off his longbow, and raised an arrow, like a meteor catching the moon, hitting the man's shoulder, the man screamed, turned over and fell. In the midst of the shock, the fourth uncle waved his hand and began to attack the mountain.

I asked people to set up a chess table and refreshments at the bottom of the mountain, and sat down with Sun Deng to rest.

Sun Deng said: "My cousin is full of confidence. ”

I said, "I have more confidence in the fourth uncle than myself. ”

Sun Deng refused to play chess with me: "It would be a pity if I missed such a wonderful siege." My cousin wouldn't be afraid that I would see the appearance of the Han army. ”

At this time, the Han army had already begun to release arrows. The barbarian army has always used a wooden fence as a wall, and this method is used in the reinforcement of this city. Therefore, when the Han army came, it was ready to fire rockets and arrows. Looking at the direction of the wind, the Han army seized the upper hand and fired with crossbows. In an instant, fireworks rose on the wall of the barbarian army, and the barbarian army was also choked by the fireworks and coughed constantly, unable to open their eyes. Immediately after that, there was a hissing sound, and the wooden fence seemed to be alive, and countless snakes and insects turned around and crawled down from the wooden fence, some of them were roasted after only a few steps, and some of them rushed into the barbarian army for a while. In the face of such a long-range attack by the Han army, the barbarian army was obviously unexpected and at a loss. Wood is not so easy to ignite in Nanzhong, and there has never been a bow and arrow that can be fired so far, let alone a fire on the bow. They wanted to use bows and arrows to counter, but the range was far inferior, and they organized people to rush out to attack the crossbow team of the Han army, but the crossbow team had already formed a small eight-array diagram beforehand, and the barbarians fell into it and became captured in a blink of an eye.

Sun Deng was dumbfounded and said: "The crossbow of the Han army is so powerful, what is the name of the formation formed in front of them?" It's so powerful. ”

I smiled and said nothing. Sun Deng didn't want to ask again, so he fixed his eyes on the mountain again.

After the three rows of arrows were fired, the front of the village was already in flames, and then the Han army used a small stone machine to throw a huge grass ball in front of the enemy formation, and in a blink of an eye, the front of the enemy formation had become a sea of fire. The barbarians were choked by the smoke of the fire and could not stand on their feet, so they had to abandon the walls and gates and flee backwards. With a wave of his hand, the fourth uncle rushed forward with crossbow arrows in his hands, forcing the barbarians to continue to retreat, while several strong crossbowmen shot arrows at the enemy's arrow tower. The barbarians upstairs were afraid of being burned alive on the arrow tower, so they were so frightened that they fled down, and no one dared to stand on the city wall. At this moment, a detachment of infantry rushed forward with smoke and fire, climbed the top of the city, and occupied an arrow tower. This arrow tower in the hands of the Han army and in the hands of the barbarian army is very different, the strong and powerful arrows from the arrow tower condescendingly like rain splashing, the barbarians are suppressed so that they dare not raise their heads, the follow-up troops will pick up the burned wooden fence, open the way, and lead the city wall in an instant, and the enemy has become a turtle in the urn.

I said to Sun Deng, "Cousin, let's go up the mountain and have a look." The group went up the mountain, and the fire in front of the village had been extinguished, and wisps of green smoke were still emitting in some places. The air smelled of burnt meat, but it was the genus of snakes and insects that the barbarians crunched in the wooden fence, and the barbarians did not burn a few.

At this time, hundreds of barbarians were surrounded by bows and arrows, unable to move.

I stepped forward and smiled, "If you don't surrender yet, when?" ”

One of the barbarians shouted, "We respect the warriors the most, and I will not accept your use of tricks like this." ”

I smiled and said, "Very well, you respect the warriors, and I will send the warriors to conquer you." Fourth uncle, excuse me. ”

Zhao Zilong stepped out of the horse and said, "Who is not convinced, come and try the silver spear in my hand." ”

Since Hesse was wounded, the Lee brothers were responsible for leading the way for the front army and organizing the siege of the mountain, so the expedition was accompanied by Pfa, and at this time he said: "Good and good, fortunately I don't have to be against him seriously." ”

Pufa had a trick with his friends, and he had a problem, he had a good time, jumped out of the circle, and then said, "You are not my opponent" or "I am not your opponent." After Zhuge Qiao knew, he tried every means to let him fight with the fourth uncle, and before the move, he told the fourth uncle that he had strong law popularization skills, and Jiang Wei, the disciple of the fourth uncle, couldn't get past Sanhe in front of him, which aroused the anger of the fourth uncle; He also told the fourth uncle that Pufa had a problem of jumping out of the circle after three combinations, and if he wanted to really make a move, he had to be entangled. The fourth uncle took it seriously, and as soon as he got his hands on the silver gun, the rainstorm was directly discharged, dense and unstoppable. Pufa wanted to jump out of the circle several times, saying that I was not your opponent and couldn't get it, so I had to block it desperately, and that time Pufa waved the demon pestle for half an hour, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. In the end, it was the fourth uncle who jumped out of the circle and said, "No wonder Boyo is not your opponent." Poor P.P. was so tired that he could barely speak.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll want you to fight in a while." ”

Before the words fell, everyone roared in front of the battle, Zhao Zilong had already flown the thirty-pound mace in the hand of King Jing Python into the sky, and then Zhao Yun hooked the gun, and the stick was like being born on the gun, and it was pulled by the tip of the gun like a windmill. Zhao Yun waved the gun, and the mace spun and flew back, so frightened that the king of the python hurriedly lowered his head, and the mace smashed on the ground, raising a puff of smoke and dust.

Looking at Zhao Yun's back, Sun Deng couldn't help but sigh: "What a brave general." ”

I laughed and said, "He can't compare to me." ”

Sun Deng looked at me in a daze, not knowing what I was talking about. Therefore, I said: "I was not yet one year old, and I was able to kill generals from Cao Cao's million-strong army, and he was in his thirties at that time. ”

Sun Deng blinked when he heard this, and then he realized that I was talking about Zhao Zilong hugging me in Changbanpo back then, and secretly praising Zhao Zilong, so he also smiled. Then he sighed: "Back then, I also had countless heroes in Jiangdong, my grandfather, my uncle, Taishi Ziyi, and Gan Xingba, all of whom were invincible in the world, and they were the choice of the moment. ”

Hearing this, I also smiled bitterly, who can compare with that generation, who is in our army? The golden generation that has been tempered in blood and fire has grown old, they have emerged from countless tears, they have taken heaven and earth as the battlefield, flesh and blood as the sharpening, and trained in the test of death. They are a generation of heroes, but they are also an unfortunate generation, they are the remnants of the Han people after ninety percent of the casualties, and none of them are not elites. The big waves wash away the sand, and what is washed away is life, and what is left behind is "heroes". However, the era of heroes must be an unfortunate era. I think, if possible, I hope that there will never be heroes in the world, because heroes only appear in troubled times.

I restrained my chaotic and somewhat inexplicable thoughts and looked up. In the blink of an eye, the fourth uncle has won five battles in a row. He always pointed at the command, or picked up his weapon, or pointed his gun at his throat, but he won cleanly. The barbarians were all heartbroken.

I looked at it and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

The barbarians looked at each other, and finally dropped the weapon in their hand.
