Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Chapter 201

This long trumpet is neither the bronze horn of the Han army, nor the horn of the barbarians.Yan Yan and the Shu soldiers behind him were stunned.

But soon, Yan Yan woke up.He shouted loudly: "Go back to the camp, hurry back to the camp! The enemy is coming!" After speaking, he clamped his horse's belly and galloped away to the camp a hundred battles away.All the soldiers of the Shu army, those with horses galloped fast, while the infantry without horses spread their legs and ran wildly.

In the mountains and forests opposite Yan Yan's camp, figures emerged one after another.When Yan Yan's troops just entered the camp, they had already fought more than a hundred battles outside the camp.

At this time, Yan Yan jumped off the horse, took three steps in parallel, climbed up to the watchtower of the camp, and set up an awning to look out.What caught his eyes was a dense stream of people, and in the mountains and forests, these people kept pouring out.

Looking carefully at these people, they are neither Han people nor barbarians.There is even a huge difference in appearance from the Hu people of the Qiangqu Jie species.Suddenly, Yan Yan remembered the foreigner that Zhao Yun had told him before.

"Quick! Prepare the army for war! Prepare for defense!" Yan Yan roared.More than two thousand soldiers of the Shu army quickly took their positions behind the camp, ready to defend against the enemy.

When these Fanbing accumulated to 4000 people, they launched an attack on the camp of the Shu army.Soldiers armed with large shields and spears, surrounded by more than a dozen war elephants wearing bamboo armor, rushed towards the camp.

The arrows in the Shu camp rushed towards these foreign soldiers like migrating locusts, and nailed them on their big shields and bamboo armor.Many Fan soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, but the rest of them rushed to a place less than twenty battles away from the Shu camp despite the rain of arrows.

At this time, Yan Yan was not worried that the war elephants would knock down his wall, because there was a deep trench outside the wall, six feet wide, dedicated to defending against war elephants.It was impossible for the war elephants to rush through the trench.In addition, Yan Yan had already learned about the weakness of war elephants in the last Jiangyang battle.

"Prepare rockets and throw torches!" Yan Yan ordered loudly, the torches in the hands of the soldiers of the Shu army were lit, and the archers also lit the braziers used to ignite the rockets beside them.

Yan Yan saw that a dozen or so objects suddenly flew out of the saddles of those war elephants, and rushed towards the Shu army camp.The strong crossbow, a kind of hook like an anchor, was thrown out by Fan Jun's strong crossbow fixed on the elephant's back.

With the ropes at the end, these claws flew for more than ten battles, and they were firmly hooked on the wall of the camp of the Shu army.Then these war elephants retreated under the driving of the driver.

"Galala" the walls of the village were pulled together by more than a dozen elephants, making a tooth-piercing sound of hardwood twisting.Then there were several loud bangs, and a large section of the entire camp wall collapsed for more than ten battles.

There was a burst of drumming similar to the sound of clappers in the Fanjun formation, but it was much louder than ordinary clappers in the north.

Thousands of Fanjun soldiers rushed towards the gap in the camp when they heard the sound of the drum. Most of them held guns and shields, but the people in front did not hold shields, but held a long wooden board with beams in both hands.

When they rushed to the vicinity of the camp, the wooden board was already full of arrows.A fan soldier had just put the plank on the ditch when he was hit by an arrow in the head and rolled into the ditch.The rest of the people ignored him, and the boards were spliced ​​together one by one.

The Fanjun soldiers from the rear arrived in no time, and rushed towards the gap in the camp along these planks.The Shu army in the camp had also gathered, and the two sides fought with each other with swords, guns and arrows coming and going.

In the fierce battle of slashing and killing, the two sides kept falling.The bodies at the gap piled up more and more.In the end, the Shu army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, was gradually exhausted, and the battle line gradually pressed towards the camp.More and more Fanbing poured into the Shu army camp.

Some Fanbing took the opportunity to open the gate of the camp, and more Fanbing poured into the camp from the gate, including more than [-] war elephants.The Fanbing crossbowmen on the war elephants, condescending, kept attacking Shu soldiers with arrows.

At this time, Yan Yan was drenched in blood, holding a spear and fighting Fanbing to the death surrounded by his own guards.Arrows shot towards him non-stop. Obviously, the other party found him, the chief general of the army, and the target of attack locked him by coincidence.

"Be careful, general!" A personal guard blocked Yan Yan's side, but he was shot through his head and body by several arrows.Yan Yan let out a roar, and went so far as to kill the nearest war elephant with a gun.

A Shu army soldier rushing in front of him was less than nine feet away from the elephant, and a flying spear shot towards him and nailed him to the ground.

Yan Yan, who was still about to rush forward, was hugged tightly by the guards around him, and the guards begged: "General, we can't hold on to this camp, so hurry up, or our army is in danger of being wiped out! There must be someone who reports to Chengdu!"

Yan Yan's eyes were red, and he roared: "Kill! Give it to me! Kill all these soldiers."

Seeing that Yan Yan lost control of his mind, everyone stopped talking. Several personal guards picked him up and fled to the rear camp.After the rest of the guards were cut off, they resisted desperately.

Half an hour later, the banner of the Fan Army flew up from the camp of the Shu Army.Several buildings in the camp were ablaze.

In fact, this Fan army was not the only one that invaded Bashu.Within three or four days, Zhang Ren, Meng Da, Fazheng and other Shu armies were caught off guard and defeated by the Fan army.In addition, a small group of Fanjun troops crossed the Shu River ahead of schedule and entered the hinterland of Bashu.

When the news reached Chengdu, more than [-] Shu troops had been completely lost.Almost all the troops of the Shu army were wiped out, only Meng Da withdrew quickly and lost more than half of his troops.The remaining six or seven routes of the Shu army were almost gone.

Above the lobby of the Shu Palace, Liu Zhang was both shocked and angry.He roared: "What did Gu say at the time? Gu said that the King of Liang had absolutely no malicious intentions, but you and I are just treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Now our Shu army has lost all its elite, and a hundred thousand foreign soldiers have come to attack us." How can I resist the influx from the territory of Bashu?"

Fazheng said in a hurry, "For the current plan, the only way is to send a messenger to ask Liang Wang for help."

Liu Zhang clapped the case and said, "Ask Liang Wang for help, do you still have the face to say this now?"

Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded: "Now is not the time to take care of face, please Wang Shangshang quickly send a messenger to Liang Wang Feng Yu for help."

Liu Zhang sighed heavily and said, "I don't have the face to say this, you find someone to draft a copy. After Gu uses the seal, send it to Liang Wang."

At this time, suddenly a lieutenant of the army came rushing into the hall, everyone couldn't help feeling tense.According to the general regulations, it is not urgent to order soldiers not to go to court to report directly, but to hand it over to Yousi first and then pass it on to Liu Zhang.So what the Lieutenant of the Bing Bing brought must be an urgent military situation.

"Report! Report to the king, Jiangyang has fallen!"

"Report! Your Majesty, a large number of soldiers are coming to Nan'an city!"

Chapter 202 White Wolf Qiang

One after another, emergency military situations were sent to the lobby of the Shu Palace.Liu Zhang's heart tightened for a while, and all the officials in the hall were silent.

Nan'an is only two hundred miles away from Chengdu. If the Fan army captured Nan'an and crossed the Shu River, they would be able to reach the city of Chengdu within two days.

At a loss, Liu Zhang paced back and forth at the head of the palace, asking repeatedly: "What should I do? What should I do alone!?"

Huang Quan was the first to say: "Your Majesty, now we can only concentrate our forces, and we must defend Nan'an, Han'an, and the three cities of Jiangzhou to the death. This is to block the advance of the Fanbing and prevent their main force from crossing the Shu River and plundering our Bashu. Heartland."

Li Yan put forward a different view: "Nowadays, the Fan army is so powerful that we don't know the enemy's situation, and we don't even know the opponent's background. The Shu River for thousands of miles is invincible, and the central Sichuan plain is unobstructed. The Fan army can cross the Shu River from any place. It went straight to the city of Chengdu. Therefore, I thought that the troops should be concentrated in Chengdu, and they should stick to Chengdu and wait for the Liang team to come to help them."

Fazheng and Huang Quan had the same opinion. He said: "There is not much food in Chengdu. Will King Liang bring troops to help? When will he come? It is also uncertain.

In this way, if we defend an isolated city in Chengdu alone, we will be heavily besieged by the Fan army, and it is very likely that we will run out of food and the city will be destroyed before reinforcements arrive.He was killed by the captives.

What's more, if we give up the heartland of Bashu, even if Chengdu is preserved, after successfully expelling the Fanlu, there will be nothing for the population and food. "

Huang Quan added: "The most important thing is that if you stick to the isolated city of Chengdu, the king will be in danger after being besieged! On the contrary, we stationed troops in the three cities of Nan'an, Han'an, and Jiangzhou to defend the heart of Bashu. Even if you fail, your majesty can still retreat calmly and go to Brazil to rely on Liang Guo to avoid disaster."

Huang Quan's last words prompted Liu Zhang to make up his mind.He raised his hand and said: "Let's do it according to this plan. Ling Yanyan, Zhang Ren, and Meng Da will be the main generals, and they will guard the three cities of Nan'an, Han'an, and Jiangzhou respectively. Make sure that the city is not lost, and rely on these three city, and snipe at the Fanbing who are trying to penetrate into the heart of our Bashu. In addition, we will draw troops from various cities, allocate food and grass, and quickly reinforce these three strategic locations."

A quarter of an hour later, he rode out of Chengdu on a fast horse, and Liu Zhang sent the general's order to the four directions.Two hours later, [-] Shu troops on foot and cavalry marched out of Chengdu City to reinforce Nan'an, which was [-] miles away.

When this army passed through a dense forest in Chengdu, they didn't know that there were a pair of eyes staring at them in the dense forest.When the Shu army had completely passed, the man sprang out from the dense forest, turned his horse's head, and ran due west in the wilderness.

……

One and a half months later, in the late spring and early summer of the fifth year of Jian'an.In the Xiling Snowfield less than two hundred miles west of Chengdu, except for some hilltops above the snow line, the snow on the snowfield has already melted.

At this time, in a mountain depression, there were tents, horses, and Qiang soldiers with swords and guns.A man in a Qiang cloak and a robe of Shu brocade with hundreds of flowers was wandering back and forth between the tents with his arms folded.He was Wu Bodeng, the leader of this Qiang army.

This army of Qiang people all came from the branch of the Qiang people - Bailang Qiang.The Bailang Qiang people are widely distributed in the plateau area of ​​western Shu, from the Hehuang Valley in the north to the northwest of Yongchang County in the south.The total population of each tribe is 7.In the history of the original world, the White Wolf Qiang migrated thousands of miles south and became the ancestor of the Burmese.

Wu Bodeng, chieftain of the White Wolf and Qiang, saw the chaotic situation in central Sichuan, so he also thought about it and wanted to fish in troubled waters.He issued an edict to draw soldiers and horses from various tribes and gather them in the Xiling Xueyuan Mountain Col near Chengdu.Just waiting for an opportunity, they broke through Chengdu and plundered wantonly.

At this time, a fast horse galloped into the White Wolf Qiang camp, and the visitor got off his horse and kowtowed to Wu Bodeng, saying, "Report to Deqin Bodeng, I have found out that the Shu army in the city has only three thousand troops at present. the rest."

Wu Borden's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked coldly, "You have found out clearly. If you misreport the military situation, your head will be beheaded."

"Deqin's superior, I have more than [-] people under my command. I have infiltrated the city of Chengdu as a caravan and made repeated inquiries. I have confirmed that the Shu army in the city has at most [-] cavalry."

Seeing that the other party was so sure, Wu Bodeng ordered: "Pass on my king's order. The whole army will set off at dawn tomorrow to raid Chengdu!"

……

At dawn in early summer, the sky was just slightly bright.The guard posts at the head of the city of Chengdu have been up all night, and all of them have bloodshot eyes.Foreign invasion, no one dares to go on a errand and be lazy at this time.

While these sentry posts were anxiously waiting for the changing of the guard, a soldier shook his head and blinked his eyes, making sure that he was not fooled.

In his line of sight, more than a hundred battles away, there are densely packed infantry and cavalry.And they didn't have the sound of drums or horns, or even the sound of horseshoes, just like ghosts, appearing silently in the west of Chengdu City.

There are scouts and rangers on the east and south sides of Chengdu City.Because Fanbing can only come from these two directions.No one expected that the Xiling Snowfield to the west would spawn a large group of soldiers.

The soldiers of the Shu army at the top of the city began to exclaim, and at the same time there was a commotion behind them.When they turned their heads to look, several soldiers guarding the corridors and stairs at the head of the city had fallen in a pool of blood.Some Qiang people rushed to the top of the city, wielding their sharp knives, trying to kill the Shu army.

The soldiers of the Shu army hadn't recovered from their stupefied state when the cold and sharp weapons cut their necks and pierced their bodies.The city screamed and wailed,

There were only a small number of sentry soldiers at the top of the city, which were only used for guarding. They were caught off guard, and naturally they were hit by these sneak attacking Qiang people.After a while, the Shu soldiers at the head of the city were beheaded and killed.

These Qiang people are members of the White Wolf Qiang Caravan, and they go in and out of Chengdu all the year round, so the government of Shu has little defense against them.At this time, their sudden attack was naturally to open the city gate.The army outside the city was none other than Wu Bodeng's nearly ten thousand White Wolf Qiang elite.

After a while, the suspension bridge at the west gate was lowered, and the city gate opened wide.The Qiang horse team poured into Chengdu like a torrent.The troops were divided into two groups, and all the way quickly controlled the Wengcheng and all the gates in the city.The other way was to kill along the main street to the Prince of Shu's Mansion. The people who got up early saw this scene and went into the house to avoid it. Those who couldn't escape were beheaded on the street.

At this time, the Shu army in the barracks had reacted, and under the command of the generals at all levels, formed an army formation and moved towards the front gate of the palace, trying to intercept the Qiang soldiers attacking the palace.The two brigades fought in a melee in front of the palace gate.

At this time, Liu Zhang was still sleeping soundly in the bedroom of the palace.When he woke up from the nightmare, he heard the shouts of the servants outside the house: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong, the enemy army has invaded Chengdu."

When Liu Zhang heard this, he broke out in cold sweat and got up from the bed.

Chapter 203 The Zhuluo Empire

When Liu Zhang came from his bedroom to the front hall, his mother Shu Guotai and all the queens and concubines also gathered.Everyone had a look of panic on their faces, and the sound of fighting and shouting could be faintly heard outside.

With a livid face, Liu Zhang roared, "What's going on? How did the Fan army reach Chengdu so quickly without any warning. Are the soldiers on the periphery just for display?"

A guard hurriedly responded: "Qi... I report to the king. These enemy soldiers are not Fan soldiers, but the Qiang people from the west, the White Wolf Qiang. They took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack on our city of Chengdu. Now the Qiang soldiers have poured into the city in large numbers, please Wang Shang hurried out of the city to take refuge. If you don’t leave, it will be too late!”

Liu Zhang's tone of voice changed: "Let's go? How can I go? Maybe I can go alone. How can I take away so many concubines and palace people?"

Shu Guotai looked dull, stepped forward and said to Liu Zhang: "The king of Shu should leave quickly on his own. The old man and the concubines and palace people will stay in this palace and die on their own. They will definitely not drag the king down."

Liu Zhang threw off the sleeve of his robe and said urgently, "My lord, how could my son leave you alone..."

At this moment, a guard of the palace covered in blood ran in and shouted eagerly: "Your Majesty, the palace has been surrounded by Qiang soldiers heading towards the palace! All exits have been blocked by Qiang soldiers." !"

After Liu Zhang heard this, his eyes were dull, and he sat down on the throne.Women's cries sounded in succession in the surrounding area, gradually joining together.

Liu Zhang calmed down at this moment, and said in a calm tone: "Go, get the pen and ink. In addition, move all the firewood from the firewood house to the hall. We cannot fall into the hands of the Qiang people and be humiliated."

Half an hour later, the Qiang soldiers finally entered the Shu Palace, but the flames in the palace had already risen into the sky, and most of the Shu Palace was engulfed in flames.

……

At the same moment when the White Wolf Qiang invaded Chengdu, Feng Yuzheng, who had received Liu Zhang's request for help, was heading south in person.Because it has been prepared for a long time, the troops are dispatched very quickly.With an order, they had already gathered in Hanzhong, and the Liang army in Padong marched south in three ways.

Feng Yu personally led Gao Shun's army on the West Road, marching towards Chengdu along the Jinniu Shu Road.The Zhaoyun army on the middle road has arrived in Langzhong along the Bashui River, and the Dianqing army on the east road is traveling up the Shujiang River to Jiangzhou.

Gan Ning's naval corps was also transferred to the Shu River and stationed in Wu County. For this purpose, Xun You was sent as an envoy to Linjiang Kingdom to borrow waterways from Linjiang King Liu Biao.In addition, Xu Rong's army and Dianwei's army were stationed in Hanzhong as a reserve army.

Accompanying Feng Yu was not only Jia Xu, but also Fan Sengjialuo and his disciple Zhu Shixing.These two monks can speak Sanskrit and understand the local customs and customs, which is why Feng Yu wants to take them on the expedition.

After half a year and several waves of arduous investigations, Feng Yu finally figured out the source of this foreign talk.

A long time ago, in the southernmost part of Shendu, there were the three kingdoms of Chula, Fandia, and Chera.40 years ago, Zhu Luo defeated the other two countries and unified the three southern countries in Shendu.Occupies all of the southern part of the Cauvery Valley.

This is the history of the southern part of Shendu that Pan Senghala knew before he came to Middle-earth.But what he didn't know was that more than 20 years ago, that is, during the Zhongping period, there was a hero named Karikala in the southernmost Chola dynasty.

During the reign of Karikala Choro, he annexed the Rambajianna dynasty on the island of Ceylon to the south.Northward defeated the Brahmin rulers of the Baicheng dynasty and replaced them.The entire central and southern part of the poisonous body is in his pocket.

In addition, Chola crossed the ocean and continued to extend its power to the Southeast Asian islands in the southeast direction.Relying on their powerful navy and nautical trade, they established a series of Brahman kingdoms attached to Chula on the Southeast Asian archipelago.Previously, all the Southeast Asian affiliated countries of the Baicheng Kingdom were also owned by Zhu Luo.

Karikala's ambition is more than that. He wants to follow the example of King Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire and unify the entire body poisoning area.To accomplish this goal, the Kushan Empire in the northwest and the Magadha Kingdom in the northeast must be conquered.

Although Magadha is small, it has a strong national power and a large population.It was the heartland of the Peacock Empire and the core area of ​​the poisonous civilization, similar to the Central Plains of China.

After many frontal attacks by Zhu Luo's army failed, Karikala decided to attack Magadha from the flank. He knew that there was a Shushen Poison Road to the east of Magadha, which could lead directly to the eastern area of ​​Magadha.

He began to colonize the Indochina Peninsula in the south of Yongchang County in large numbers, and stationed a whole large army as an expeditionary force.Then the invasion of the north continued.Finally, during the Chuping period, Yongchang County was occupied.

Zhu Luo took this as his basic camp and attacked Magadha westward along the Shushen Poison Road.In the end, under the attack of the two armies from east to west, Magadha lost its strategic depth, and Rajagha, the capital of the country, was breached.

Karikala finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish of unifying all Brahmin countries, and Chola became a great empire with a population of 5000 million.However, he did not continue to attack Guishuang as planned and restore Brahmin rule in this area.Instead, the soldiers pointed to the east and north of Yongchang County, where he thought there was a better target for invasion-the Han Empire with a declining population.

Feng Yu doesn't know whether the history of the original world is like this, but he is sure of one thing. Before the middle ages of the original world, Southeast Asia was greatly influenced by Brahmans.The Chinese civilization only involves a small area of ​​Jiaozhi.He is determined to change this situation in this world if he has the chance.

……

When Feng Yu marched to Mianzhu.Several soldiers escorted a man in civilian clothes and reported to Feng Yu: "My lord, this person claims to be the secret envoy of the king of Shu and wants to see the lord. When I see him suspicious, I will arrest him first." gone."

Knowing that it was Feng Yu in front of him, the man fell to his knees in front of Feng Yu's horse with a plop, weeping uncontrollably.Feng Yu hurriedly told him to get up and talk.

"You said that you are the personal servant of the King of Shu, what proof do you have?" Feng Yu didn't think he was acting, but out of caution, he still needed to check.

The man didn't say much, and untied one of his backpacks.Feng Yu didn't take a closer look, but he knew that the few things inside were the jade seal and ribbon talisman festival.

The man had already said: "These are the seal letters of the King of Shu, and there is also a personal letter from the King of Shu to the King of Liang. Please read it to the King of Liang!"

Feng Yu took a closer look at these objects and was even more convinced.As he opened the letter, he asked, "Where is the king of Shu now? What happened in Chengdu? Quickly tell Gu."

"Qiang Bing, White Wolf Qiang attacked Chengdu City. The King of Shu...the King of Shu...has already passed away." Liu Zhang's personal guard burst into tears after saying this.

Feng Yu felt very familiar when he heard the word Bailangqiang.Thinking about it carefully, he immediately recalled the historical knowledge of his previous life.In the history of the original world, the White Wolf Qiang eventually migrated to the barren land in the south of Nanzhong and became the ancestor of the Burmese.

After listening to the narrator, Feng Yu ordered the whole army to speed up.Go to Chengdu City.After a day and night of rapid marching, Liang Jun finally approached the city of Chengdu in the early morning.

Feng Yu reined in his horse and looked towards the city of Chengdu.I saw the lingering smoke in the city, and there was no one on the top of the city.He ordered: "Send some scouts into the city to reconnaissance and confirm whether there are Qiang soldiers in the city."

Chapter 204 Under Nan'an City

Feng Yu and his army stopped outside Chengdu, waiting patiently.At this time, he has received a system task [Occupy Chengdu].

The task rewards are rich, there are 100 20-mile road building cards and 100 10-mile plank road building cards, but the most important reward is a city building card.It means that Feng Yu will have the second main city of the system.

The scouts quickly reported back the results. Not only were there no Qiang soldiers in the city, there were even very few living people.After checking the surviving population in the city, the White Wolf Qiang soldiers had just evacuated from Chengdu four hours ago.

It turned out that these white wolf Qiangs were only for looting, and had no intention of attacking cities and land.Therefore, they captured the city of Chengdu, looted all their belongings and population, and then retreated back to the Xiling Snowfield on their own.At this time, U Bo Deng didn't even know about Liang Jun's arrival.
