Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123 158. Black Liquid Bomb

It has been five days since Wang Hao came to the Yushi Mountains, but Merklar has not moved. Just when Wang Hao thought that Merklar had given up and was just a coward who uttered wild words, Merklar finally made a move.

The Da Yuezhi Legion, which had been facing each other in the Yushi Mountains before, began to move slowly to the west. The square army formation had never changed, and Wang Hao also had a headache for this army formation.

This army formation originated from the ancient Roman Empire in the west. The soldiers of the army formation are divided into spearmen and shield soldiers. Both defense and offense are almost perfect. The only shortcoming is the speed problem.

Back then, Huo Qubing suffered from this square formation, and finally relied on the fierce generals of the Duhufu to break out of the siege. Guo Jia, Xu Yuanzhi and other generals have studied this square formation, but unfortunately, none of them can find a way to crack it. .

Soldier: "Report... my lord, the enemy is coming from the west to the mountains. There are a total of 4000 people in two parts, respectively to the left jungle and the middle mountain..."

Wang Hao: "Huang Zhong listened to the order and ordered you to lead [-] heavy cavalry to go out to fight around the mountains and block the opponent's Qubu. You don't need to wipe out the enemy completely, but you can't let the enemy go one step beyond the jungle!
Gan Ning, you led the Five Thousand Modao Battalion up the mountain tonight. Since Merkel dared to stretch out his minions, you know what to do! "

Merklar may have underestimated Wang Hao too much. With just a few thousand songs, he wanted to sneak attack on Wang Hao's jade mine. Could it be that he thought Wang Hao's [-] troops were vegetarians.

After Huang Zhong led the cavalry across the Neihe River, he went straight to the hidden jungle of the Da Yuezhi Qubu. Three days later, Huang Zhong used falcons and finally found the two thousand Qubu. They actually poisoned the upper reaches of the Neihe River. The poisonous move caught Wang Hao off guard.

The inland river extends in all directions, flowing to Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and other places. Wang Hao didn't know what the poison was, and he didn't dare to let soldiers and people drink the river water. Even livestock were forbidden to enter the water.

Huang Zhong led the heavy cavalry in pursuit, Harder and Modosa led Qubu to flee. The Da Yue clan had Modosa as an aborigine, dragged Huang Zhong's cavalry many times, and poisoned different parts of the inland river. Hanoi soon appeared Lots of dead fish.

Not only dead fish appeared, but those herbivores who drank water also died one after another on both sides of the inland river. The local aborigines also began to fear the river water, especially those small tribes that had just been conquered, and various rumors often appeared.

A large number of animal deaths can easily cause plague. Wang Hao had to let soldiers and natives bury the dead animals on both sides of the inland river, which was very labor-intensive.

Huang Zhong was watched by a falcon from the sky, and Harder and Modosa couldn't drag Huang Zhong away no matter how he ran. He was overtaken by Huang Zhong's cavalry several times, and the two thousand Qubu were attacked by heavy cavalry several times, leaving only one thousand More than 500 people.

In the end, Harder and Modosa retreated to the desert, and Huang Zhong was unable to pursue them due to insufficient food and grass. Although Harder lost hundreds of elite troops in this battle.

But Wang Hao also suffered heavy losses. There were dead animals everywhere on both sides of the inland river, and the river water was also polluted to a certain extent. There was plenty of rain in spring and summer. It may take half a month to get rid of the poisonous water in the inland river.

Huang Zhong was powerless to pursue, but Gan Ning fell into Merklar's trick. Gan Ning led Modaoying up the Yushi Mountain Range, and Merklar had been waiting on the other side of the mountain for a long time.

Merkel: "It's you again, last time you despised the prince in every possible way in the camp, this time the prince wants you to survive..."

Meklar led Qubu to look down at Gan Ning who had just climbed the mountain and laughed loudly. Gan Ning stared at the laughing Meklar, wondering if he was crazy.

Although Merklar stands on the advantage of the terrain, whether it is offensive or defensive, he has a certain advantage. The javelin thrower Zheng shoots from a high place, which will definitely bring damage to the Modao camp, especially the rock roller, which is against the Modao camp. The charge caused a lot of hindrance.

However, Gan Ning has more than 5000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he can divide [-] soldiers and horses to attack the opponent from left and right. Yuanrong crossbows have limited damage to the phalanx, but they can still cover the charge.

Gan Ning led a central army of [-] soldiers and horses, and went straight to Merklar's [-] Qu Department. Gan Ning had an absolute advantage in numbers. He really didn't know what Merklar was laughing at.

Meklar: "The prince came out with a little less soldiers and horses this time, but I have a little gift for you. I got it from the Dashi Kingdom with great luck. I will use you to do it today..."

Gan Ning: "When I capture you alive and send you to the lord, I will cut you into pieces..."

Meklar asked the soldiers to throw javelins. The soldiers in the square army had five javelins, and the one-meter-long javelins were thrown down. The Mo Dao soldiers who had no time to raise their shields to block would peel off their skin as long as they were shot. Ten thousand javelins rained down.

Gan Ning: "The soldiers raise their shields to block. As long as the vanguard goes up, we will soon turn defeat into victory. The field doctors and nurses will come later, let the injured brothers persevere..."

Gan Ning's Sanqian Modao Battalion lost hundreds of people, and many soldiers were seriously injured. The vanguards on the left and right sides were about to climb up. As long as they persisted for a while, Gan Ning would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Meklar leaned on those soldiers who were stabbed by javelins and laughed. These people are not dead now, but they won't know later.

Meklar: "Use black oil bombs to attack the center and the left, and the square fish scale formation breaks out from the right..."

Meklar's soldiers took out earthen jars from their rucksacks, which contained black and oily water. Thousands of earthenware jars were thrown from high places, and the entire hillside was covered with black oily water, giving off a strong and pungent smell. hit.

Gan Ning: "Quickly disperse! The whole army retreats..."

Gan Ning touched the dark liquid and smelled it. It smelled like kerosene. Gan Ning didn't expect that Merkel would use kerosene to attack, so he hurriedly told Modaoying to retreat.

But it was too late. This thing is not kerosene at all, but unextracted crude oil. Although it contains impurities such as filtration, it burns much more powerfully than kerosene (kerosene).

Those Mo Dao soldiers who were stabbed by javelins and were unable to move, as well as soldiers whose bodies and shields were covered with crude oil, were ignited by the rockets shot down by Merklar, and no matter what they did, they could not extinguish the fire on their bodies.

Three thousand Chinese troops and one thousand pioneers, only two out of ten survived. Gan Ning was burned to death by Merkal with kerosene. For the loss, Gan Ning returned home in a big defeat this time.

Yan Teng led Qubu and the field medical staff to support him, and was startled when he saw the charred corpses all over the ground. Then he was so angry that he led Qubu to chase after Merkel.

Gan Ning and the rest of the Modao camp went crazy, and after Yan Teng Qubu, they chased after Merkal until the depths of the desert.

There was no water source in the barren desert. Seeing that the food and water sources were exhausted, Yan Teng and Gan Ning had no choice but to return the same way no matter how unwilling they were. This defeat and the lack of food and grass made the morale of the exhausted soldiers very low.

At this time, Merklar actually killed a carbine, and turned to the dog-headed army commander Hade Qubu, who came out from the depths of the desert. They were able to cross the desert from the Da Yuezhi to the Yuetai area because of a very strange type of troops. , This type of arms is the camel soldier.

Meklar, who has camel soldiers, can attack and retreat in the desert, but Wang Hao's army does not have the ability to penetrate deep into the desert.
