Chapter 818: Ma Jian cried
"Kill!
In the southwest of Zitong City, on the battlefield with the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan as the main enemy, the war has entered the stage of Zuihou.
What is the most powerful place in the army? It is not the force of individuals! It is the momentum of countless soldiers, lined up in arrays, advancing and retreating in a disciplined manner, and charging collectively!
In the past, because the orders of the Nanban Wu clan were not uniform, each tribe fought separately every time they marched, and they did not pay attention to any formation, and they were as chaotic as a plate of scattered sand, so even if the individual was strong and there were many masters in the army, they were far from being the opponents of the Han Dynasty army, even if Liu Zhang's troops were able to defeat the Nanban Wu clan every time.
However, the attack in March of the third year of Zhangwu was different, the Southern Barbarian Witch was truly unified by the late Meng Shu, with a unified order, but it was forbidden to do so, and the barbarian king Meng was not a simple and powerful person, but there was also a deep study of the method of the battle formation, with a basic formation, the Southern Barbarian army with rank and retreat, but the strength has increased several times.
This attack coincided with the time when the 800,000 elites of the Shu army were led by Liu Bei to go on the expedition, and then almost all of them died in Jiangdong, when Shu was empty.
And because of the defeat of the conquest of Jiangdong, the Wu army was aggressive all the way, coupled with the invasion of the two armies of the Wei State, the morale of the generals of Shu was low, the hearts of the people in the rear were fluctuating, many families began to rebel, bandits sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and grew rapidly, and the remnants of the Wudou Mi Sect revived, and under the leadership of Zhang Sheng, the son of the immeasurable Taoist, they made trouble everywhere, making the Shu army's food road impassable, and the already insufficient logistics burden increased I don't know how many times, but the combat power could not be raised.
Several battles, but also to suppress the rebellion in the territory, exterminate those five buckets of rice and bandits, Shu can be used to resist the southern barbarians of the soldiers and horses are very few, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Even if there is infinite wisdom and crushing that absolute strength, it is useless.
Therefore, since the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan went north under the leadership of Meng Shu, the Southern Barbarian army has been like a bamboo, continuously conquering a large area of land in Shuzhong.
In April of the third year of Zhang Wu, when the Southern Barbarian soldiers came to the city of Zitong, they experienced more than a month of training. However, the formation of the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan has been honed to be more powerful, and the cooperation between the soldiers has become more and more proficient, and the combat power has increased by a few points compared to when the troops were just dispatched. The Shu army had little resistance to the Nanban.
When the Southern Barbarian army broke through the gate of Zitong City, rushed into the city, and engaged in street battles with the Shu army that completely broke up the array, the fate of the Shu army losing Xichuan and possibly even perishing the country was doomed!
The weapons and armor of Shu are famous all over the world, especially the crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang, which is even more terrifying!
However, all of these weapons had an advantage when the gates of Shu City were breached. In the face of the group charge of the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan, there is no longer any meaning!
Bang!
In the sound of steel and steel, the once elite armor soldiers of the Shu Kingdom fell in batches in front of the barbarian beast cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan.
"Alas, I lost without even stopping it for a day!"
In the north, on a mountain, Zhuge Liang, who was watching from afar, showed a tired look on his face. In order to make up for the lack of troops and individual combat power of soldiers, and enhance the power of the Shu army. He almost pushed the battle array command strategy to the limit. He has exhausted his abilities to the extreme. I thought that after this war. He wanted to take a good rest.
Who knows, it will end like this.
Zhuge Liang looked at a certain place on the battlefield, and at the end of his gaze, a general of the Shu State was wet and covered in blood. He was already at the end of his crossbow, and he seemed to fall at any moment.
But the general was trying to breathe in the air. It was mixed with a large amount of blood and swallowed into the abdomen. Even the vision has blurred. But again and again he slammed on the ground, again and again like a cannonball, flew off the ground, and rushed forward to kill.
At this moment, I am afraid that he is no longer able to speak. The sound of killing shouted from his mouth shook the heavens and the earth, and every sound could reach the ears of Zhuge Liang in the distance, and every shout of killing could inspire the few Shu soldiers.
"General Wang Ping...... I'm sorry!" Zhuge Liang muttered thoughtfully.
A respectable general, just a pity. This is destined to be the place where he ends on the battlefield and Zuihou. The tearing up of the sky is his zuihou's elegy!
Zhuge Liang sighed and closed his eyes.
"General Wang Ping took the initiative to break off the rear for the army and bought time for me and most of the elite of the Shu army to evacuate, which is indeed admirable. A young general in armor, but who seemed to be a literati, walked behind Zhuge Liang and said lightly in the distance. "Prime Minister, let's go! Don't let General Wang Ping's efforts go to waste. ”
"General Youchang, do you think there is still hope for my Shu Kingdom?" Hearing that familiar voice, Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at the young man he admired very much, the young man who amazed him in some aspects, and couldn't help but open his mouth and ask a somewhat discouraged sentence that should not have been asked by him.
"What did the prime minister say? Although Nanban is powerful, it is impossible to destroy my Shu Kingdom. In the past, we couldn't make up our minds to give up Xichuan first and retreat to Xiongguan. Now once we rely on the strong pass, they will soon not be able to make an inch. ”
"After the training of elite soldiers and the stabilization of the rear, with the ability of the prime minister, he will definitely be able to defeat it, drive it out of Yizhou, and drive it back to the original place. The prime minister must have been so tired these days that his spirit was a little trance. But Prime Minister, you are the pillar of my Shu army, you have to hold on!"
Zhuge Liang didn't speak, took out some information and handed it to Ma Yan.
"On the seventh day of the fourth month of the third year of Zhang Wu, the Jiangdong army came to the White Emperor City. ”
"On the eighth day of the fourth month of the third year of Zhang Wu, the White Emperor refused to help,"
On the ninth day of the fourth month of the third year of Zhang Wu, the White Emperor refused to help, and the officials of the White Emperor City collectively knelt outside the White Emperor's mansion and begged. ”
"On the tenth day of the fourth month of the third year of Zhang Wu, Bixia took out the long-missing Xuanyuan Sword and gave it to Lord Ma Liang, and asked the White Emperor Shaohao to block the Infinite Dao people and the Jiangdong army with this sword. ”
"On April 10 of the third year of Zhang Wu, the White Emperor lifted the seal of the Xuanyuan Sword and completely stimulated the power of the Xuanyuan Sword. ”
After reading the above information, Ma Jian couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha, with the White Emperor and Xuanyuan Sword here, then the Jiangdong army and the immeasurable Dao people don't need to worry, hey, today is April 28, presumably the Jiangdong army has retreated, just use this news to boost morale." ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I got the latest information two days ago, but it was ...... Before the White Emperor could make an appointment with the Infinite Dao people, he brought out the five quasi-saints of the Shura clan. After that, the White Emperor and the five masters of the Shura clan fought in the White Emperor City, but because of carelessness, he was seriously injured by Liu Yuan, the master of the Shura clan, and was later killed by Liu Bao, a veteran master of the Shura clan, and the Xuanyuan sword was taken away. ”
"What?" said Ma Yan.
Zhuge Liang sighed again and said: "Then, the sage Taishang Laojun sacrificed the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth with the doppelganger in the Tushi Palace, intending to suppress Liu Bao and his son to regain the Xuanyuan Sword, and did not want to lead out the Styx Ancestor, after a big battle, the Styx Ancestor was defeated and retreated, and the Yuan Tu Sword was taken away, but Liu Yuan and his son successfully returned to the Netherworld Hell. In the continuous battle, Bixia and Ma Liang and the rest of the dozens of civil and military Dacheng were affected by the battle, all of them died in the White Emperor City, and more than 20,000 elite Shu troops were scattered in the White Emperor City. ”
"What?!How is it possible?!...... Prime Minister," Ma Jian couldn't help but yell again.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "This is the case, because the roads have been blocked one after another, it is difficult to transmit information, and it is a long time late, so it only arrived two days ago, but it is accurate." ”
"Brother!bixia!Heaven is dead, my Shu kingdom!" Ma Yan couldn't help but cry.
"Let's go! don't cry yet, save this little strength to escape, the next will be hard!" Zhuge Liang said, then turned around and left. (To be continued......)
