Chapter 1118: Jungle Warfare
"Water Jing Note": "The rope water is east, and the water is poured into it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info water out of Jianning County's Mumi Nanshan. The county, the mountain and the grass are named after it. The mountain is five hundred miles south of Wuju Mountain in the northeast of the county, and the mountain is full of pasture and can detoxify. Baihui Fangsheng, many birds eat by mistake, black beak mouth poisoning, must rush to Mu Mi Mountain, peck Mu Mi to detoxify also. The water is drawn to the source of the valley, and the northwest flows to the rope of Yueshan, and the rope water is passed through the Mahu County of the Shanjun again, which is called the Mahu River. ”
In the dense forest on the bank of Tushui, there is a clearing that has been reclaimed, and the imperial tent of Emperor Wude Li Yi is in the middle.
The conquest in southern Sichuan was very smooth, and there were many Yizhou generals to help, and the past counties and counties were looking forward to the wind. Including Qianwei Taishou Gong Chen, Yue Yiyi Wang Gaoding, Zhu Bao and others.
However, Liu Bei still occupies the Yizhou Army and Yongchang County after all, and Li Yi must pull out this nail. Otherwise, the border in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty will never be peaceful.
After getting the news that the vanguard army was sneak attacked, Li Yi slapped the table very angrily, and his memory couldn't help but return to the afterlife. There were several jungle battles in later generations, and although the attackers had an overwhelming advantage, it was also an indisputable fact that the losses were huge, such as the powerful Lao Mei.
Li Yi didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Lao Mei, he looked at Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong under his account, and said solemnly: "Whether our army can successfully reach Dianchi City depends on the performance of your special forces. ”
The three generals bowed together: "Please rest assured, the emperor will win with me!" ”
The daily training of the Datang special forces is extremely strict, with heavy mountain training once every seven days and field survival training once a month, which is completely carried out in the depths of the jungle and mountains. It is almost the same as the current environment, so Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong are confident that they will destroy the enemy in the jungle and escort the main force of the Tang Army.
After the three of them left, Li Yi said to the crowd: "The army continues to advance, believe in our special combat soldiers!" ”
………………
After everyone came out of the account, Sima Yi couldn't help but ask: "General Yue, can the special forces really be able to?" ”
Sima Yi followed Guan Yu's Eastern Route Army and had never seen the magical performance of the special forces before, so Yue Fei was not surprised when he saw him asking, he stopped and turned around and said, "There is no doubt about the strength of the special forces. This can be seen from the fact that they seized the dangerous passes such as the Sword Pavilion Pass and the Fu Pass respectively. ”
After a pause, Yue Fei continued: "Not only are they good at surprise soldiers, but their ability to fight head-on is also very strong. When he was in front of the Sword Pavilion Pass before, the emperor once conducted a drill, and five hundred elites of the Imperial Forest Army threw it in, but they were overturned by fifty special combat members. ”
Yue Fei looked left and right at the Ouchi guards, and whispered: "If you say that it is a real sword and a real gun, maybe the emperor's Ouchi guards can have a slight advantage." ”
Only then did Sima Yi put his mind at ease.
Xu Maogong next to him smiled slightly, and said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, the emperor is unfathomable, and there are many secrets, and you will know it slowly." ”
Sima Yi also smiled, and said in his heart that today you finally told the truth.
The emperors of all dynasties always wanted to have a sense of mystery, so that their subordinates could be in awe, and what false news, borrowed props, and false means emerged in endlessly.
However, Li Yi didn't have to do it deliberately at all, when he figured out a set of things for the future, it would immediately enhance the awe of his subordinates. No way, who let this time never appear. In the hearts of the ministers, Emperor Wude is mysterious, and the things that Emperor Wude pondered can only be understood by sages and sages.
………………
However, at this moment, the sage Li Yi was in a daze in the big tent, because when he came to this place far away from the southwest, he couldn't help but think of the Nanban mentioned in the Three Kingdoms in the later generations, known as the Eight Ninety-Three Dian. As far as the battle recorded by Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng is concerned, there are more than one million people, which is roughly consistent with the situation reported by the previous Datang intelligence officers.
"This is a force to be reckoned with...... Li Yi thought.
Nothing happened overnight. The next day, the soldiers of the forward battalion of the Don Army left the battalion, which had been garrisoned for three days, and once again set off to open the way. In fact, they did not want to be garrisoned in the camp, they preferred to go into the depths of the dense forest, looking for the enemies who assassinated their comrades.
Zhang Dayong, a commander of the Tang Army, saw more than a dozen of his comrades being shot by hidden enemies in the forest during the first three days. On this day, when a sharp arrow was shot at the trunk of a tree, he did not hesitate to lead five warriors to rush in. He vowed to find the murderer and avenge his comrades.
Sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, and pillars of light are projected in the dense forest.
Quietly in the dense forest, Zhang Dayong quickly found the right place through his judgment of the direction of the incoming arrow. However, they found that four soldiers wearing Shu army uniforms had fallen to the ground.
Zhang Dayong had killed people and killed many enemies, and he said with surprise: "What a powerful knife technique, two inches below the throat, one knife kills!" When he died, he couldn't even make a sound. ”
"These people must have attacked our Shu army, who killed them!" One soldier asked, surprised.
Zhang Dayong suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "It must be special forces!" ”
"Special forces? It's rumored to be a ghost-like warrior! The soldier exclaimed.
"Look for it!" Zhang Dayong was very hopeful that he could find these fighters and thank them in person. But a long time passed, and nothing was gained.
Just when Zhang Dayong was about to leave in frustration, the grass in front of him suddenly shook, and a figure stood up.
"Wow, monster!" A soldier was frightened, subconsciously raised his spear, and surrounded this weedy-covered monster that looked like a jungle spirit at first glance.
Zhang Dayong was also taken aback, he searched this place many times, but he never found anyone.
It's not a human, it's a monster.
But Zhang Dayong, who is the commander of the army, still has some knowledge, and shouted in surprise: "Special forces! ”
If you look closely, the soldier is wearing a black training uniform under the weeds, with standard armor on the outside, cowhide on the outside, and steel on the inside. There are delicate small crossbows, daggers, military spurs and other pendants on it.
At this time, three straw men stood up around them, and immediately surrounded Zhang Dayong and others.
"Don't get me wrong!" Zhang Dayong hurriedly said, and then began to explain.
The four special operators were not mistaken, they did not plan to show up in the first place. It's just that they have a task on their side, and Zhang Dayong didn't leave after looking for a long time, so he appeared.
Soon, the four special operators disappeared into the dense forest without a sound, as if they had never appeared.
With the covert protection of the special forces, the vanguard of the 30,000 Tang Army can safely cut down and open the way again.
For a time, Li Yi's special forces uncovered a bloody storm in the dense forest on the shore of the Qianwei vassal country. In just three days, he assassinated more than 1,000 elites of the Shu army.
………………
In Dianchi City, Liu Bei has been in a much better mood in the past few days, because after receiving the reward, the Tang army was killed by his own assassination team and could not shrink, and there was no deposit for three days.
Liu Bei, who was in a very good mood, made a cup of tea for himself with his own hands, and when he was about to take a sip, a personal guard rushed in and reported anxiously: "Your Majesty, news has come from the front line, and the assassination team has been wiped out!" ”
"What! cough cough cough cough ......" Liu Bei, who was choked by the water, was scalded again, and threw the tea bowl out entirely, "What did you say?" Annihilated! ”
Liu Bei was furious, he also counted on these people to kill tens of thousands of Tang troops, and they died in a few days, shouting: "Send someone to fight back!" ”
Zhang Song, who arrived after getting the news, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the people sent are one out of a hundred, and they are all elites. Wouldn't it be death to send ordinary soldiers to send them to death? ”
Liu Bei suddenly realized, looked at the broken jade bowl on the ground, and showed a look of pity.
Zhang Song comforted Liu Bei, and also comforted himself: "Your Majesty don't have to worry, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu led 150,000 barbarian soldiers to support, that is, it is a matter of the past two days." Coupled with the 20,000 troops of the Yizhou clan Yonghong, we also have nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. In this dense forest, there must be no place for Li Yi to die. ”
As soon as the words fell, the personal guard just now rushed in again with a happy face, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Southern Barbarian King Meng is here!" ”
"Oh!" Liu Bei stood up from the collapse of the seat, straightened up his dragon robe, and waved his hand, "Quick, order the whole army to form a team, and all the generals will follow me to greet the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu!" ”
………………
"Woo ......"
The earth-shattering horn sounded in Dianchi City. Liu Bei sent a guard of honor to personally welcome the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu.
After a while, I saw a team come to the city of Dianchi, most of the soldiers only wore trousers, their upper bodies were covered with some cloth strips and animal skins and the like, weapons were casually resisted on the shoulders, and all kinds of tattoos could be seen everywhere on the body. This is the army of the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu.
Before the army, a young man wears a golden crown in the shape of a hoop, which is covered with five-colored parrot feathers. The belts are staggered in front of the well-developed pectoral muscles, and in the middle is a bowl-sized heart guard. Tiger skin skirt and crotch shorts around the waist, revealing thick legs. Nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a cowhide cape. With a beard on his face, big copper bell eyes, and a shoehorn face, it was the young Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo.
When Liu Bei first saw Meng Shu, he was indeed startled, and said in his heart that he was really a barbarian in the mountains, and he didn't have all his clothes.
Looking at the brute soldiers who followed from afar, there was not a single standard weapon, and many of them were still holding sharpened bone sticks. I don't know what kind of giant beast bones are made from in the dense forest.
"Respected Shu Han Emperor, brother Meng is here!" Meng Shu suddenly stepped forward, the bear hugged Liu Bei, slapped Liu Bei's heart with a big fan, and said in a rough voice, "Brother is here, brother, don't be afraid!" ”
Liu Bei's face was green, and he said in his heart that I was not afraid of anything else, but I was afraid of being slapped to death by you, a rude savage.
However, in order to be able to clean up the more hateful Li Yi, Liu Bei still endured it, reached out and scratched Meng Shu's back, and said with a reluctant smile: "Brother Meng is far away, I have lost my welcome, please follow me into the city." ”
Meng Huo is a righteous and honest person, if he didn't have Liu Bei's help at the beginning, he would not have the status of the barbarian king now, so he was very grateful to Liu Bei, and after saying "please" to Liu Bei, he went to Dianchi City with Liu Bei.
