Chapter 22: Ou Zhenfu's longing
The winter rain is like weaving, and the breath exhaled from the mouth and nose turns into bursts of white mist. Dark clouds swept across the sky, and the entire earth was clouded with haze, as if it had fallen back into a chaotic world.
"Master Hou, you better go down and rest. Your body ......" Zhang 13 asked Yun Xiao hesitantly.
Yun Xiao, who was sitting on the corner tower, did not move like a wood carved clay sculpture, and he did not even have the slightest expression on his face. Let the slightest ice rain hit his face, not happy or angry.
The ground was full of arrows, like weeds on the prairie. It was so dense that it was not even clear to see the corpses underneath the weeds.
After experiencing the Lingwu War, Yun Xiao thought that his heart had been sharpened as hard as a stone, as cold as ice. He was wrong, he was not a stubborn stone on Kunlun Mountain. In the face of the mountain of corpses and the river of blood, he will still rush to fear.
The Yelang people are savage, and the savage charge is so determined that even the eyes radiate the light of death. Filling the trench with corpses can be used to come over, this is Yun Xiao's idea when he laid out the fortifications. But when the Yelang people really filled the trench with corpses, Yun Xiao was still shocked by the scene.
The trenches filled with bamboo sticks and triangular nails were densely covered with corpses, and the dense corpses looked like the scene of the Nai Tsui massacre. The folded corpses were stacked on several layers, and the Yelang people stepped on the corpses and began to climb the dirt mountain.
The courtyard monarch had a hideous face, and he stood on the most striking height. His armor and robes were covered in dirt and blood, and he loved the winter rain. At least it diluted the stagnant smell of blood, and today is the day when it kills a lifetime of people.
The ground was littered with vomit, and the Hyogo warriors, who regarded murder as a mustard, couldn't stand the visual impact. The corpses of the Yelang people resemble fat pigs that have been slaughtered, and the rain washes away the paint from them. The skin was soaked white, and the horrible wounds turned outward. The blood-red muscles had become bloodless, like a large lump of fat.
The thick rod of the halberd had broken several times, and some of the rods even had tooth marks on them. The Yoro people have exerted their spiritual power to the extreme. They cut with blades, gouged with their hands, and even bit with their teeth. They had occupied a small stretch of slope, but then they despaired. Because they saw the second line of defense, the same pits, spikes, and huge mounds.
Jin Zhu's eyes widened and looked up at the sky, it was all over. For him, life is over. There was no point in being alive for him.
A third of the soldiers had been filled, and all the wounded were killed. The rest of the guys were already frightened, looking at the corpses everywhere. Everyone lost the courage to continue the attack, and a sense of pathos permeated the Yelang army. They will never return to the jungle, never see their wives and children again, and their elderly mothers.
Thinking of his relatives who were far away in Yelang, Jin Zhu picked up the sword on the ground again.
"Brethren, let's rush again. Rush at the gap again......" The horn of despair sounded again, and Jin Zhu and his subordinates roared and launched a charge.
"Won? Are you saying that Jin Zhu led people to defeat the Han army, and then took advantage of the situation to occupy Shangsha City? Ou Zhenfu couldn't believe the message the messenger had brought. It's so bizarre. The Han army, which couldn't get the slightest benefit from the desperate battle in Dongou, was actually defeated by those poorly equipped barbarians. Are they really that powerful, or do the mountain people have some unknown power?
"Great King, King Yelang defeated the Han army. Countless weapons and armor were captured, and one drove the Han army ten miles away. Captured Shangsha City in one fell swoop. The minister followed the king of Yelang to fight, until he entered the palace of Shangsha City and lived for one night, and then he came back to report to the king. ”
The Dongou messenger was dusty, and all the mud on his face was about to form a mask. At first glance, it was a few days of travel. According to the soldier who found him. This guy couldn't even get off the horse at the time, and his crotch was worn out.
"Could it be the defeat of the Han army? Attract the Yelang King to attack? Ou Zhen thought about it for a while, and then expressed the doubts in his heart. He couldn't figure out what King Yelang relied on to defeat the Han army. Could it be those big wooden sticks? That's a bit!
Yichen's observation doesn't seem to be like this, and in this battle, Wang Lang Wang Xian's small defeat was shot and killed by hundreds of people. Later, King Yelang commanded the whole army to charge, and the Han army was intimidated by the momentum of Yelang Kingdom. Only then did the whole army rout, and the ministers counted it afterwards. The Han army lost more than 2,000 dead and wounded, and I am afraid that even more.
The armor and ordnance captured by King Yelang were piled up like a mountain, and even the grain in the granary was not burned by the Han army. If it is said that the defeat is deceitful, then the price paid by the Han army is too great. His Majesty asked the residents of Shangsha City, and the Han army had already claimed the whole city. There were even cases of cannibalism, and the minister analyzed that the Han army seemed to be in turmoil. That's why there was a big defeat of King Yelang. ”
Ou Zhenfu's doubts seemed to have an answer. The Han army distributed the spoils unevenly, leading to the disarray of the army. Only then was under the blow of Jin Zhu, and he was defeated.
"It seems to make some sense, you step down."
Ou Zhen returned the messenger and thought about coming to his brother to discuss. When it comes to leading troops, he is far inferior to his younger brother as a general. As long as we talk about military aircraft, we must listen to Ou Zhenming's opinions.
At first glance, it seems that the Han army was defeated, but it doesn't seem like the result of the battle after hearing the messenger say it. In the first battle, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and a large amount of grain and baggage were lost. No one cheats this method, the cost is too great. The Han army that confronted his brother was 8,000 people, and the Han army that attacked his brother was estimated to be less than 10,000. With such a big loss at once, will their emperor allow it?
I heard that the Han people like infighting, and the Han court is even more inclined to each other. Such a big defeat, the Han emperor will definitely pursue it. No general would risk the lives of his entire family to defeat him. ”
Ou Zhenming listened to Ou Zhenfu's words, thought for a while and gave an answer. He also thought that if the Han army was defeated, the risk seemed too great. What's more, Shangsha City has been lost, and the defeat is nothing more than leading the enemy army into the trap and ambushing. But now that Jin Zhu is in danger of Shangsha City, what trap can trap him?
What they didn't expect was that Shangsha City was the trap. Yun Xiao took the sand city as a cage and encircled the golden bamboo into it. If you don't want to starve to death, you have to fight to break through.
"King Gu also thinks so, the Han army will definitely not cheat and consume so much strength. With this big victory, Jin Zhu will inevitably march forward, maybe when we arrive in Shangsha, they have already captured Eastern European City.
People may not be greedy when they don't have it, but once Jinzhu sees the prosperity of Dongou City. It's hard to guarantee that there will be greed, if he occupies Donou, then ......"
Based on the principle that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, Ou Zhenfu is very worried about his situation. If Jin Zhu had the idea of occupying his own Dongou Kingdom, he would order the remaining soldiers to kill him at the first time. With the defeat of more than 1,000 remnants of his own army, he wanted to win the battle against Sergeant Yelang in the jungle. That's just a joke, Yelang Country is now tantamount to Longtan Tiger's Den and must leave as soon as possible.
"Big brother's concerns are not unreasonable, and now we are under the fence. Dongou has been run by our family for generations, and compared to these miasma lands, it is like a paradise. Jin Zhu had never seen it before, but once he saw the wealth of Dongou City. It may not be that there will be greed, with the thoughts of the younger brothers. The eldest brother should quickly lead the troops back to Donou, after all, our family has been operating in Dongou for many years. The hearts of the people there are still towards our family, and killing back at this time is just the image of our family in the woods to save the people from suffering. Big brother, don't hesitate to lead the troops back to kill. ”
Ou Zhenming grabbed Ou Zhenfu's hand, and the force in his hand was very strong, which made Ou Zhenfu a little painful.
"But my brother can't rest assured that you, your body ...... How could it be possible to withstand such a long journey again. Ou Zhenfu held Ou Zhenming's arm, which was as thin as a hemp rod, and said quite distressedly.
Although Ou Zhenming didn't dare to say that he was a big man before, he was also the master of a well-proportioned stone lock. The arms that used to be full of muscles are now as thin as firewood sticks, which makes people sad to look at.
"Brother Chen, don't worry about the eldest brother here, as long as Brother Wang can take over the Dongou Kingdom. Let Jin Zhu see that he can't get any chance of winning when he sees what people's hearts want, and he will dispel his thoughts. Naturally, they didn't dare to do anything to me, the ancestors' rivers and mountains were important. Please also ask the eldest brother to put national affairs first and not consider the safety of the younger brother. ”
Ou Zhenming is not afraid that Jin Zhu will attack him, as long as Ou Zhen, the king of Dongou Fushun, takes over Don'ou. Jin Zhu can only confess Ou Zhenming, and he is confident that he will definitely not harm him. Now what he is worried about is that he is afraid that Jin Zhu will be greedy, and his royal brother Ou Zhenfu is not in Dongou.
Once the king of Dongou did not return to Dongou for a long time, he was forgotten by the people of Donou. The consequence was that the Ou family lost Dongou forever, and as the ruler of Dongou in the previous generation. Their own lives will also be greatly threatened. As the king, Jin Zhu will not allow those who have a competitive relationship with him to live in this world.
Ou Zhen thought about it, and it seemed that there was no other way. Instead of letting Jinzhu take away Donou, it is better to fight hard and maybe regain the ancestral foundation. No, we must regain our ancestral inheritance. It was left by the ancestors of the Ou family in the past generations, and it must not be lost under his own hands, absolutely not.
Having made up her mind, Ou Zhen said ruthlessly: "Second brother be careful in Yelang, because my brother can't keep more people by your side." I can only leave you more gold and silver, the Yelang people are poor and greedy for money, you can buy a horse to gather a number of people, and use it for you at a critical moment.
If the golden bamboo knows each other, it would be good, if the golden bamboo does not know each other. Brother Wei can't say that he has to call on the people of Dongou to crusade against him, Dongou is not the jungle here. His earth leopards are not his brother's opponents.
But then, brother, thou shalt rebel in his nest. The people who used the bribes broke his foundation, making it difficult for him to return home. With one go, our brothers may be able to annex the country of Yelang. Dominate the southwest, once the national strength is restored, we will annex Minyue, and then fight against the Han Dynasty. ”
Ou Zhenfu said excitedly, as if he would be the king of the south tomorrow. led thousands of troops to attack Chang'an. (To be continued......)
