Chapter 175
Chapter 175
Several holy decrees of the emperor attracted the attention of all the princes, but they did not raise troops. First, the time has already reached winter, and it is not appropriate to send troops to fight. Another reason is that the situation in Dahan at this time can be said to affect the whole body.
Jiangdong Sun Quan and Jingzhou Liu Cong had already formed an alliance, while Western Liang Ma Teng, not only did not go to Yecheng, but also did not return to Tianshui, trained soldiers and horses in Chen Cang, and deployed along Weishui, at the same time, Ma Dai led 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Wuzhangyuan, keeping an eye on the movements of Chang'an Zhongxiu and Zhangji in Yancheng.
Moreover, he also allied with Jingzhou to jointly deal with Cao Cao in the north.
Although Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, hated Liu Bei very much, he knew that the biggest threat came from the north, which could be described as a cold lip. As a result, the border between Hanzhong and Yizhou has always been at peace.
After about half a year, the northern land has been warmed and blooming, and the crops are growing well. And the south already seemed a little hot, and a news spread everywhere, attracting the attention of the princes of the world.
Jingzhou Mu Liu Jun, leading an army of 20,000, was about to conquer Wuxi.
Wuxi originally belonged to Wuling County, but since Emperor Guangwu, it has been occupied by barbarians, and the imperial court has sent large armies to conquest many times, all because of the complicated terrain of Wuxi, the army could not be deployed, and the barbarians were fierce, and finally all failed.
Later, Wuximan, led by his leader Jingfu, attacked Wuling and captured Wulingzhi's Pupu.
However, the barbarians were not accustomed to working in the fields, and could not do without the mountains and forests, and they robbed and returned.
Not long after the officials of the imperial court returned, they were ransacked by the other side. After repeating this several times, Wuling's seat was moved to the current Yiling Tomb and renamed Wuling Castle.
Liu Jun wanted to send troops to conquer Wuling, and the other princes were not optimistic, including Ma Teng, who was far away in Chen Cang. At that time, the Fubo general Ma Yuan also sent troops on orders to conquer Wuxi, but returned with a crushing defeat.
Outside Wuling City, 20,000 troops were assembled, Liu Min and Gong Zhi led 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, Deng Ai was the main general, and Liu Jun personally commanded the troops.
This time, the troops were completely sent to the Flying Battalion, and the two military masters, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, did not accompany the army.
Today's Wuxi Barbarian King Samoko is extremely brave, but he has no plan. Moreover, using troops in Wuxi does not require any profound schemes, not to mention that with such a handsome talent as Deng Ai, Liu Jun is relieved.
But it was Jiangdong Zhou Yu and Cao Cao who were not worried, so the other armies did not move.
Wuxi mainly has five rivers, Xiongxi, Yuanxi, Youxi, Chenxi, and Puxi, each inhabited by a tribe who lives by hunting, but there are also some simple cultivations. Each tribe totals about 20,000 men, women, and children, and the whole Wuxi is about 100,000 people, and it is said that each tribe has 5,000 soldiers, including 3,000 elite soldiers, and once they want to invade Wuling County, they will join forces and jointly elect Shamoke, the leader of Yuanxi, as the leader.
The strategic plan formulated by Liu Jun was to defeat each and then move all the barbarians into Wuling, let them leave the forest, make a living from agriculture, and achieve complete Sinicization.
The first thing to attack was Xiongxi.
Badan, the leader of Xiongxi, immediately gathered 5,000 barbarians after receiving the news that Liu Jun led his army to attack Wuxi, and waited for the battle.
"Chief, Liu Jun has a large army of 20,000, and we only have 5,000 people, do you ask the big leader for help?" Deputy Chief Dohal asked.
"Ha..." Bataan burst out laughing, "Doha, you are too daring, how can you be worthy of being the leader of our Xiongxi!" As soon as this Jingzhou soldier sees our warriors of Xiongxi, I am afraid that both legs will go soft! Twenty thousand, in my opinion, twenty thousand rabbits, let us shoot! "
Ha..." many of the little leaders laughed too.
"Leader, I heard that Liu Jun is only in his twenties!"
"It turns out to be a brat who has not dried up, as long as the leader yells, I am afraid that he will be scared to pee his pants!"
"Ha..." a small leader, with long pointed beaked monkey cheeks, smiled forward and back, "Chief, I heard that Liu Jun Xiao'er has several ladies, who are very good-looking!"
"Then after we defeat Liu Jun, we will directly kill Xiangyang, snatch those ladies back, and give them to the leader!"
"Good!"
"Ha..." At
this moment, a soldier rushed along the stream.
"The leader of the report, Liu Jun sent Liu Min and Gong Zhi to lead five thousand soldiers, and they have entered our Xiongxi!"
"What, five thousand soldiers, dare to break into our territory!" Bataan was furious.
"Kill them all!"
"Yes, kill them all, leave no one!"
All of a sudden, the crowd was excited.
"Warriors, kill with me!" Bataan shouted, "Kill Liu Jun, the property and women of the Han people, whoever grabs it will return!" "
Kill!" The small leaders led the barbarians under their command and rushed forward along the stream.
Liu Min and Gong Zhi soon got the news that the barbarians had killed, so they lined up the formation. Crossbowmen occupy favorable terrain and put arrows on strings.
The barbarians had no armor on their bodies and were draped in various animal skins. There are also people who hold wooden shields with some rough beast motifs painted on them. When they saw the Han army in front, they all rushed over with a whoa.
"Drop the arrow!" Liu Min shouted.
Countless feather arrows flew out from behind trees, in the grass, and next to stones, and sprinkled at the barbarians.
"Ah..." The barbarians who rushed in front screamed and fell to the ground one by one.
"Rush over and kill them all!" Badan, the leader of Xiongxi, was furious, you know, it was their elite who ran in the front, and the real Xiongxi warriors were so damaged.
"Kill!" Hearing Bataan's order, the small leaders raised their shields in one hand and swung their swords in the other, rushing to the front. The barbarians behind were also fierce and fearless of death, and the strange screams of "woo-woo-wow-la" rushed forward fiercely!
After the Han soldiers shot three rounds of arrows, the barbarians rushed to the front, and the two sides began to meet each other.
In jungle combat, most soldiers are equipped with Han knives, which are light and sharp. The barbarian's spear was cut in two, and the shield was easily split.
However, the bravery of the barbarians was still unexpected by Liu Min and Gong Zhi, and they actually fought with the Han army with their bare hands, the front was just killed, and the back one would suddenly hold the Han soldier with both hands and scuffle on the ground. Some tumbled down the slopes, some into the river.
And those small leaders, whose martial courage is not weaker than the centurion of the Han army, or even the thousand-year-old, has also caused great casualties to the Han army.
At this time, the leader of Xiongxi, Badan, also rushed into the Han army, brandishing the broad-backed large knife in his hand, as if chopping melons and cutting vegetables, harvesting the lives of Han soldiers.
When Liu Min and Gong Zhi saw it, they were also angry from their hearts, evil to the side of the guts, shook the spear in their hands, rushed over, and both enemies Bataan.
