Chapter 684, the dog is bold
The people of Tianzhu talked about burning, killing and looting, and everywhere they passed, wolf smoke was billowing and corpses were everywhere. Seeing this, I thought of the word 'benevolence and righteousness', which is perhaps the most absurd morality created by our nation. Heaven is ruthless, the law of the jungle eats the strong, the animal world is the same, the human world is the same, 'benevolence' is just a ridiculous thing that goes against the principles of heaven and earth, a dream that can only be self-comforting, or a self-deception made up by cowards to cover up their incompetence and cowardice.
The Tianzhu army marched all the way to the city of Fengyu County. Lined up in the fields under the Diancang Mountain, dense and boundless, like a brown ocean.
A Tianzhu general rode his horse up the hillside, galloped straight to the city gate, reined in his horse, raised his head, and proudly shouted: "People of the gods, the Tianzhu army wants to pass through here to help you recapture Dali City, quickly open the city gate!" At this time, the commander of Tianzhu under Shuai, Kshatriya, turned his head and said to a few generals around him: "Prepare, if the Dali people do not open the city gate, they will forcibly attack the city." Several generals were excited, and quietly passed down the order.
With a creak, the gates opened.
Kshatriya smiled proudly and said to the generals around him: "As soon as you enter the city, immediately seize the city." The generals nodded excitedly. As the orders were conveyed one after another, the endless Tianzhu army of the ocean was activated, and slowly used towards the city on the hillside, and a low roar came, getting louder and louder, and the earth was trembling.
Tianzhu's forward 30,000 troops first climbed the hillside, and the commander of this forward force was Tianzhu's famous fierce general, Matur. Mathur led 30,000 elite forwards to approach the city gate, and Mathur's eyes involuntarily showed a bloodthirsty look.
When the forward troops led by Matur were still dozens of paces away from the city gate. Coming out of the city gate, the dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly turned around and ran into the city gate, and then the city gate slammed shut. When Matur suddenly saw such a scene, he felt only a moment of astonishment. At this moment, the war drums on the city gate tower thundered, and thousands of soldiers appeared on the city wall. Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Mathur shouted and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
He was answered by the screeching of arrows, and Matur saw only one arrow whizzing towards his face. Matur was startled, seeing that the sharp arrow was coming very quickly and sharply, he didn't care about it, and subconsciously turned backwards and fell off the horse, almost at the same time, the arrow whistled past his body, and hit the chest of a soldier behind Matur with a pop, the soldier screamed miserably, and fell backwards, and the entire Tianzhu army's forward troops were all shocked, and then they were furious, and they waved their blades on the city wall and shouted and cursed. Tianzhu people have always looked down on Dali people, and at this moment, seeing Dali people like this, how can they not be angry!
At this moment, a dense sound of breaking the sky was heard, and a rain of arrows was seen pouring down from the city walls. Seeing this, the Tianzhu soldiers who were shouting and scolding were shocked, and those who had shields hurriedly raised their shields, and those who did not have shields turned around and fled for their lives, and some hurriedly fell down on the spot. There was a loud crackling sound, and many Tianzhu sergeants fell to the ground with arrows!
Mathur got up from the ground, his eyes glaring at the wall high in front of him, truly furious. Raising his scimitar, he shouted, "Attack!" ”
The soldiers of the Tianzhu army shouted and surged up, the shield-bearer raised his shield above his head, and the army quickly approached the city wall like a giant turtle. The Dali army on the city wall did not shoot arrows anymore, perhaps they thought that archery was no longer of much use. The Tianzhu people rushed faster and faster, more and more excited, and the roar had turned into the bloodthirsty roar of the tiger and wolf.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, like a landslide, like a tsunami! The whole hillside trembled! The Tianzhu people who were charging heard such movements, and couldn't help but stop and look up. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw that there was a huge prototype grass and wood sphere falling from the city wall, but it rushed down the steep hillside, rushing faster and faster, and the power became stronger and stronger, and later, it was really like a flash flood pouring down!
When the Tianzhu soldiers saw such a momentum, they couldn't help but be shocked, and the soldiers of the army didn't know what to do for a while.
A rain of fire flew out of the city wall, falling into the middle of the inclined 'mountain torrent', and when it landed, the grass and wood spheres that rushed down the hillside burst into flames, and the huge fireballs mixed with the rolling stones and trees rushed towards the Tianzhu soldiers who were almost stupid on the hillside!
In an instant, the rolling stone and the fireball crashed into the Tianzhu army. The screams rang out in one place, and only flesh and blood flew in the crowd, and the huge fireball burned the Tianzhu soldiers with flames, and the Tianzhu soldiers were burned to the ground, and wolves rushed in all directions! The soldiers of the Tianzhu Army rushed down from the hillside, and the 'torrent' chased after them, constantly involving the soldiers of the Tianzhu Army who were running slowly, and the screams were mixed with the loud rumbling sound! When the Tianzhu army under the hillside saw this scene, they couldn't help but be frightened, and at the same time, they were extremely angry! ……
After a while, the hillside finally calmed down. I saw corpses all over the hillside, mottled with blood, and clusters of flames burning and beeping on the hillside. The casualties of the Tianzhu people were not small, at least two or three thousand.
The Kshatriyas were greatly annoyed and attacked with an army. However, rolling stones and burning fireballs fell on the city wall again, and although the Tianzhu army was numerous, it couldn't get close to the city wall at all, and suffered heavy casualties!
Although Kshatriya was extremely angry, he also felt that in the face of this city with a steep mountain position, it was impossible to attack rashly. As soon as he thought of this, he suppressed his anger and ordered the army to retreat temporarily. The Tianzhu army withdrew seven or eight miles away and set up camp.
In the big tent, the generals scolded endlessly, some scolded the Dali people for their kindness and revenge, some scolded the Dali people for not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and some people shouted to kill Fengyu County without leaving a chicken and dog. "Shut up!" Kshatriya, who was in an irritable mood, shouted. The generals closed their mouths one after another, and the tent fell silent all of a sudden.
Kshatriya said with a fierce face: "The Dali people have betrayed the alliance, I will definitely not spare them!" They will pay a terrible price for today's betrayal! All the generals echoed one after another, clamoring to slaughter the people of Dali and capture Duan Zhichun and break the corpse into pieces.
At this moment, an officer rushed into the big tent and reported: "Generalissimo, Duan Zhichun is here, asking to see the generalissimo!" When they heard this, they almost thought they had misheard. Kshatriya asked, "What did you say?" Duan Zhichun is here? The officer nodded and said, "He's outside the barracks gate right now." ”
Matur raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Good! He's sent to death! He asked Kshatriya: "Generalissimo, I'll kill him!" So saying, he was about to run out of the big tent.
Kshatriyas shouted, "Stop! Mathur stopped and looked at Kshatriya in bewilderment. Kshatriya frowned and said, "There is something strange about this matter. Did Duan Zhichun eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and dare to come to death? Then he said to the officer who came to report the news: "Go and bring Duan Zhichun in." The officer said yes and ran down, and after a while, he led Duan Zhichun, who was dressed in a military suit and had a bloodstained face and was very embarrassed.
Kshatriya and the others had already put on a posture to give Duan Zhichun a dismount, but when they saw him looking embarrassed like this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and they only felt inexplicable.
Duan Zhichun saw Kshatriya and hurriedly bowed: "I've seen the generalissimo of Datianzhu!" ”
Kshatriya glanced at Duan Zhichun and asked, "Duan Zhichun, are you guilty?" ”
Duan Zhichun understood what Kshatriya was talking about, and hurriedly said, "The generalissimo has misunderstood!" The enemy that your army encountered in Fengyu County today is not our Dali army, but the Ming army! ”
Everyone in Tianzhu looked at each other and felt inexplicable. Kshatriya frowned and asked, "What did you say?" Could it be that Fengyu County has been occupied by the Ming Army? What's going on here? Isn't there intelligence that the Ming army has retreated? ”
Duan Zhichun sighed, his stained face showed fear and resentment, and said, "The Ming Army is really too cunning! Your army and the Bagan army have approached Dali City, and anyone will feel that it is hopeless to hold Dali City, and only retreat is the best policy. That Shi Liancheng conveniently used our idea and deliberately made the appearance of retreating, but in fact, the army did not withdraw, but ambushed near Dali City. I thought they had withdrawn, and I received information that Dali City was in chaos, and many bandits took advantage of the fire to loot, so they hurriedly raised troops and rushed to Dali City to try to stabilize the situation. ……”
Mathur sneered: "You are not afraid of chaos in Dali City at all, but afraid that we will occupy Dali City first." ”
Duan Zhichun pretended not to hear it, and continued: "Who knew that when our army arrived near Dali City, it was suddenly ambushed by Daming for a long time! Speaking of this, Duan Zhichun's face showed a look of horror, "They besieged us with more than 200,000 people, and we resisted desperately, but in the end we were outnumbered and retreated!" In the end, the army broke away from the battle, went north, climbed the Cangshan Mountains, and retreated to the north. ”
Kshatriya asked angrily, "Then how did you lose Fengyu County?" ”
Duan Zhichun frowned and said: "According to the information I have obtained, there is a Ming army disguised as our defeated army, went to Fengyu County to open the city gate, and then seized the city. Then he said: "Generalissimo, there are not many Ming defenders in Fengyu County at this moment, and the generalissimo can take the opportunity to storm and believe that he can capture Fengyu County very smoothly." If it is delayed for a long time, when the Ming army arrives, it will be much more difficult to capture Fengyu County! ”
Kshatriya said angrily: "Generalissimo Ben knows how to do it, I don't need you to say more!" "Duan Zhichun is only submissive. Kshatriya thought for a moment and said to Duan Zhichun, "You go down to rest first." I'll have something to ask you later. Duan Zhichun answered, bowed and withdrew from the big tent.
Wait for Duan Zhichun to leave. Mathur couldn't help but ask: "Generalissimo, why bother talking with that pure nonsense?" Their strength must have been almost wiped out by the Ming Army, and it is useless! Several generals chimed in.
Kshatriya said angrily, "Don't you use your brains?" Several generals glanced at each other, and they all looked dazed.
Kshatriya said: "Duan Zhichun's strength has been almost defeated by the Ming army, which is a good thing for us. In this way, we will have one less opponent to compete with Dali, and at the same time, we can use Duan Zhichun to rule Dali, and with him as a member of the Dali royal family and a general, the people of Dali will not resist us! When the generals heard this, they only felt that what the generalissimo said was very reasonable, and they were very happy.
Duan Zhichun led two cronies and followed a Tianzhu officer into a simple tent. The Tianzhu officer said in stiff Chinese: "You will live here for the time being." Remember that this is an important place for the barracks, and don't just leave the tent and walk around, otherwise you will be arrested as a spy. After the words fell, he stopped caring about Duan Zhichun and a few people, and turned to leave.
When the Tianzhu officer left, a crony said angrily: "The Tianzhu people despise the general so much and arrange the general in such a place!" Another cronie was also very indignant.
Duan Zhichun walked to a wooden pier and sat down. frowned and said: "Our strength has been greatly damaged, and the Tianzhu people naturally look down on us." Then he smiled and said: "But the situation is not bad, it seems that the Tianzhu people still want to use us." Otherwise, they could have kicked us out!" ”
The two cronies glanced at each other, and one said, "General, since the Tianzhu people just want to use us, why should we be used by them!" If we have no use value, won't the end be very miserable! ”
Duan Zhichun said: "We also used each other before. Although the situation is a little unfavorable for us now, the overall relationship is still the same as before. He glanced at the cronie and said, "You are right, if we have no use value for the Tianzhu people, they will definitely get rid of us without hesitation." But we still have a long time to use for them! He smiled coldly, "Our strength has almost been wiped out by the Ming Army, and the Tianzhu people must be very happy, because for them, there is one less opponent to compete with Dali!" However, they still want to use us, use our identity and popularity in Dali to serve them to rule Dali! Hmph, they're wishful thinking! ”
After a pause, "Dali is our territory, and if the Tianzhu people want to dominate the situation, it is simply wishful thinking!" He wants to use us, that's good, we will take the opportunity to use them to defeat the Ming army! The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, hum, it is not certain who will kill the deer in the end! ”
Later in the evening, Kshatriya summoned Duan Zhichun alone and inquired in detail about the situation of the Ming army and the city of Dali.
Duan Zhichun said: "Although the Ming army defeated our army, it also suffered heavy losses, and the ten pavilions have gone to four or five pavilions!" ”
Kshatriya was overjoyed and asked, "You mean that the Ming army lost almost half of its soldiers and horses?" ”
Duan Zhichun nodded, "Exactly!" Kshatriya immediately calculated in his heart, and only felt that it would be easy to wipe out the Ming army entrenched in Dali City and its surrounding areas in one fell swoop. Immediately worried about Bagan, worried that Bagan would first attack Longwei Pass, only afraid that the essence of Dali would fall into the hands of Bagan.
came back to his senses, and at this time, Zhichun was already talking about the situation in Dali City: "...... The accumulation of more than 100 years in Dali, countless gold and silver treasures, brocade grain, are all in Dali City. That's a mountain of people! The reason why the Ming Dynasty sent troops to our Dali was because of the countless wealth. Fortunately, your army and the Bagan army came back in time, otherwise the countless accumulations may have to be moved back to the Central Plains by the Ming people! ”
Kshatriya heard Duan Zhichun say that there were mountains of gold and silver treasures and brocade grain in Dali City, and his eyes couldn't help but show greed, and he hurriedly asked: "You said that there are mountains of gold and silver treasures and brocade grain in Dali City, is this true?" ”
Duan Zhichun saw Kshatriya's expression in his eyes, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Of course it's true!" Our Dali country, from the royal family to the people, everyone has long been trading with the Central Plains, and also with Datianzhu. Over the past hundred years, the wealth accumulated is naturally unimaginable! The people of Dali City wear silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry is not rare at all, and people with a little bit of identity are decorating themselves with precious gems such as diamonds and pearls. If the generalissimo arrives in Dali City, he will definitely see the starlight scene, but it is not the starlight, but the brilliant brilliance reflected by people's gems and jewelry in the sun! The average family in Dali City uses a lot of silver to decorate their residences, and some families use gold bricks to lay their floors, and many people also use various gems to decorate their residences. Therefore, our Dali dwellings can be said to be the most beautiful dwellings in the world, the day is brilliant, and the night is also beautiful! Hehe, when the generalissimo arrives in Dali City, he must appreciate it! ”
Every time Kshatriya heard Duan Zhichun say a word, the greed in his eyes increased, and by the time Duan Zhichun finished speaking, Kshatriya's eyes were already glowing green, and he was hungry.
Duan Zhichun saw Kshatriya's expression in his eyes, sneered secretly, and then said worriedly: "What I'm most worried about now is whether the people of Bagan will break through the Longwei Pass and enter Dali City first?" If this is the case, wouldn't the accumulation of more than 100 years of my Dali Kingdom fall into the hands of those uncivilized barbarians! That's really a pearl secret cast! When Kshatriya heard Duan Zhichun say this, he couldn't help but worry, and he couldn't help but feel that he should quickly attack Fengyu County, otherwise if the people of Bagan were allowed to come out on top, it would be annoying!
As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly asked Duan Zhichun: "Do you have any suggestions for attacking Fengyu County?" Duan Zhichun sneered in his heart, but he looked serious and thoughtful on his face. After a while, Duan Zhichun said: "All I can think of is to take advantage of the fact that the defenders of Fengyu County are not very many at the moment, and quickly attack the city with all their might, in this way, the possibility of breaking the city in a short time is very high!" ”
Kshatriya nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Duan Zhichun, and asked, "Is there any path that can bypass Fengyu County?" What kind of Cangshan is this, stretching for hundreds of miles, is there no path to bypass? ”
Duan Zhichun said: "Of course there is a path. However, all the paths are in rugged and steep places, and they can only barely travel lightly, and they can't carry logistics baggage, heavy armor or other materials, and even then it is very dangerous. ”
Kshatriya thought about it, and felt that although the path was rugged and difficult, if he could cross the Diancang Mountain with a light army and appear behind Fengyu County, he should be able to speed up the process of taking Fengyu County. As soon as I thought about it, I had a plan in my heart.
The Tianzhu army spent the night at the foot of the mountain, and the next morning, Kshatriya himself led hundreds of thousands of troops to approach Fengyu County and demonstrate in array. I saw hundreds of thousands of troops overwhelming, like a brown ocean, flags like clouds, swords and guns like forests, shouts came one after another, shaking people's eardrums slightly numb; On both wings, the two war elephant troops were as majestic as mountains, and the huge war elephants let out a huge neighing sound from time to time, cutting through the sky; There is a group of soldiers and horses that are particularly eye-catching, they are arrayed near the handsome banner, the posture is slim, it is actually a female soldier, different from other armies, they are all dressed in black armor and black cloaks, their faces are also wrapped in black masks, with spears in their hands, and two scimitars crossed on their backs, the number of people is about 10,000, it turns out that it is the Shura army that is known as the attendant of the gods in the legend.
Huyan Bixian climbed the city wall and commanded his soldiers to prepare for battle. The oil is in place, the rolling stone and wood are in place, the powder keg is in place, and the firewood and grass balls are in place; Rows of soldiers stood behind the battlements, waiting for the enemy to come and attack the city. Although the enemy's strength is incomparably huge, the expressions of the soldiers of the Ming army are as cold as ice!
The war drums of the Tianzhu army suddenly stopped, and the shouts also stopped. Just now, it was still booming and shaking the world, but at this time, it was a slaughter. I saw a Tianzhu general riding out of his horse and coming to a stop at the bottom of the hillside. He raised his scimitar and grunted at the wall. The Ming soldiers didn't understand it, they just felt as if some strange beast was screaming.
That day, General Zhu was provoking, and after shouting a few times, seeing that the other party had no reaction, he thought that they were scared, and couldn't help but be very proud. I saw him stand on horseback, turn his back to face the city on the mountain, pout his buttocks, slap his palms hard, and grunt something in his mouth. At the same time, laughter in the Tianzhu army came and went.
Although the Ming side couldn't understand the words of the Tianzhu people, when they saw such a scene, they also knew that the other party was insulting themselves, and they couldn't help but be very angry! Teng Ji and other generals have asked Huyan Bixian to fight! Huyan Bixian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need! Then he took a hard bow from his own soldiers, drew out a wolf's tooth arrow, and aimed the bow and arrow at the Tianzhu warrior who was standing on horseback and pouting his ass and playing acrobatics at the bottom of the hillside. As soon as the fingers were loosened, only a buzzing sound was heard, and the wolf's tooth arrow turned into a black shadow and flew away.
The Tianzhu general was pouting his ass and performing happily, he didn't expect the other party to shoot an arrow at all, let alone that this arrow would be so accurate. said that it was too late and that was fast, only to hear a pop sound, and the wolf's tooth arrow was impartial and impartial in the ass of the Tianzhu general! The laughter of the Tianzhu warrior turned into a scream, and then he was seen falling from his horse. The Ming soldiers couldn't help laughing, but the laughter of the Tianzhu soldiers stopped abruptly.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
