Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Zhanren soldiers are familiar with the terrain, and they are all wearing simple and light rattan armor. Their marching speed was originally faster than that of Samoke, but they seemed to be deliberately slowing down their pace. Finally, they encountered Samoke's attack [-] miles northeast of Linyi King's capital. Wuxi barbarians.

"Your Majesty, it's them, and the last generals invite you to fight." Fan Shanbao was eager to try.

Ou Jin thought for a while, frowned and nodded, "Take two thousand soldiers to try, and if you find something wrong, withdraw immediately."

"Obey." Fan Shanbao cupped his fists.

The Wuxi Man did not have the armor of the entrapment army, and he did not dare to fight recklessly in the face of an enemy ten times his own. Then, according to Lan Yuan's order, Sha Moke ordered the barbarians to retreat as soon as the battle was fought. He was stopped by Qu Jin.

"My lord, the last general is about to kill the enemy, why did you call me back?" Fan Shanbao was dejected.

Ou Jin frowned and said: "It is rumored that one of the foreign races can count as ten, but now that they collapse with one touch, don't you find it strange, General Leopard?"

Fan Shanbao shook his head straight, "Xu Shi's elder brother was beheaded before the battle, which seriously affected the morale of the army. Otherwise, how could the army of Linyi King's Capital be so unbearable? It is common sense for the foreign race not to dare to fight head-on when they see that we have a large number of people."

"Really? General Leopard led his troops in pursuit just now, how many defeated soldiers did you kill?"

"Uh... I haven't had time to count, so I'll go here..."

Ou Jin replied coldly: "I don't think it's necessary to check it out. I saw that they retreated in an orderly manner. Maybe not many people died because of it."

"No way?" Fan Shanbao scratched his head in disbelief.

At this time, the head of the king's bodyguard came back to report: "The encounter just now has been counted. General Leopard's troops suffered seventy casualties, and only two enemies were killed..."

"How is it possible?" Fan Shanbao was stunned after hearing this. He was only focused on fighting Shamoke just now, and didn't pay attention to so many casualties.

Qu Jin frowned and analyzed: "These hundreds of alien races are frighteningly powerful. If Lin Yi's army chases them a few more times, they may gradually become equal to the opponent's forces..."

Fan Shanbao was sweating profusely, he hastily and feebly asked: "What should I do?"

"I think the costumes of these people should be extremely good at hunting, so they dared to go deep into our country. I am so strong that I don't want to fight head-on with soldiers. Let's slowly advance northward and wait for the war elephants and poisonous snakes of the Fan brothers to help." As the king of Linyi, Qu Jin knows how to preserve his strength better than others. If there are no soldiers loyal to him, driving out the foreigners will also destabilize the throne.

"If they escape into Nanheng Mountain..." Fan Shanbao reminded.

"The king will send some soldiers, and after detouring through the jungle on the left, he will never let them go. You, General Leopard, are responsible for sticking to them, and it doesn't matter if you sell some openings." Ou Jin ordered.

"The general obeys orders." Fan Shanbao beat his chest and nodded.

When Linyi's army left the capital for sixty miles, and the Wuxi Man who were fighting and fleeing suddenly stopped retreating, Fan Shanbao thought that you finally couldn't run anymore?He ordered the blowing of the trumpets to attack.

Unexpectedly, Shamoke made a big move, and all the barbarians hidden nearby stood up. The number was comparable to that of Linyi Wangjun. Keep the Zhan troops in the wild as much as possible.

Sha Moke commanded the barbarians to counterattack massively. Fan Shanbao's 2000 people in the front had already fallen into the pocket formation. They rushed back in the middle of the charge, hating their parents for losing two legs.

Wuximan was seduced for two days, and finally he was able to fight heartily. Sha Moke took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

Fan Shanbao's horse was not as fast as Shamoke's horse, and was finally smashed into a ball of meat by the barbed wire, Guduo and his horse. Seeing this, the Zhanren soldiers regarded Shamoke as a ghost and god, crying and retreating to the main force of the area.

When Ou Jin heard that the foreign race had 5000 people and Fan Shanbao's [-] pioneers were almost wiped out, he almost fell off his horse.

"My lord, the foreign race is too strong, we'd better retreat to the capital..." the guard suggested anxiously.

"Okay..." District Jin was in chaos, and was escorted back by the guards.

From early morning to dusk, the Wuxi barbarians frantically hunted down behind them, and the slow-running Zhanren gradually fell down. Finally, twenty miles northeast of the capital, the Wuxi barbarians finally stopped because a giant monster appeared in front of them. .

Fifty or sixty elephants, under the command of the elephant trainer Fansi, stood neatly in front of Zhanren, defending a moving city wall and protecting the people behind the city wall.

These barbarians from Wuling didn't know much, and there were no elephants in Jingnan or even the Central Plains, so they didn't know this unknown beast. Such a huge figure made the barbarian soldiers instinctively fear.

"General, what should we do?" a lieutenant general asked.

Sha Moke frowned: "We are almost hitting the capital city of Linyi, how could we give up because of these beasts? Everyone took sharp weapons and rushed behind me. Let's try to greet with a rain of arrows first. "

"only."

A round of arrows was fired, touching the elephant's rough skin like scratching an itch.

When the barbarians saw that the monster was invulnerable, their hearts began to beat. Then a strange horn sounded, and those huge monsters screamed and shook the ground, and rushed towards Shamoko's team.

moo moo moo...

Seeing that the situation was not right, Shamoke immediately ordered the barbarians to retreat. Those seemingly bulky elephants ran faster than humans. The originally tall and mighty barbarians were as fragile as babies in front of the elephants.

Knocked down, thrown, trampled...

Zhan Ren, who was frightened at first, changed his identity in an instant, and began to counterattack under the cover of the war elephants.

Ou Jin watched the foreign races defeat him miserably, and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and refreshment in his heart. Seeing that Sha Moke could no longer retreat completely, he could only restrain the team as much as possible to reduce casualties and retreat.

It is gratifying that the sun has already set in the western mountain at this time, and the night will be over in a while. Samoko believes that these domesticated beasts should lose their fighting power in the dark.

During the day, the Wuxi Man hunted and killed the Cham people, and at dusk the Cham people started to fight back under the cover of war elephants.

After Sha Moke got rid of the pursuers, he began to gather the team to count the number of people, only to find that the barbarians had thousands of casualties, and there was only one simple confrontation.

Such a terrible battle loss was the first time after following Lan Tian.

Shamoke was defeated and walked for twenty miles, and finally, with the support of the reconnaissance battalion, he joined the main force at the seaside stronghold, and reported what happened to the Wuximan to Lan Yuan and Gao Shun.

"I still underestimated the monkeys in Linyi. They actually summoned wild beasts to help them. Do you know what that giant monster is?" Sha Moke was full of frustration.

Lan Yuan dipped his finger in the water and drew the elephant's mark on the table. Samoke pointed to the pool of water and exclaimed, "It's this kind of unlucky beast, the Major General actually knows it?"

"I heard from my father that this is the largest beast on land, and its name is an elephant." Lan Yuan frowned.

Chapter 757 The Great General of Shangbang Discusses Rebellion

"It turns out that such a long elephant can be controlled by people. It's really amazing..." Shamoke murmured.

People in the Han Dynasty were no strangers to objects. Ancient elephants also existed in the Yellow River Basin during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. However, as the climate changed and the forest area decreased, the elephants gradually disappeared from the human-inhabited areas of the Central Plains.

Elephants have been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, and they only hear their names but not their shapes. The Wuxi barbarians live in the remote mountainous area of ​​Wuling County. They have never even heard of elephants, so they are very frightened during the day.

"The impact of fifty or sixty elephants is so strong. It would be difficult to deal with more elephants." Lan Yuan frowned.

"Can our army be defeated?" Gao Ling asked curiously.

Lan Yuan shook his head: "Wild elephants may be hunted and killed by siege, but the opponent is obviously controlled by humans, and the heavy armor of the soldiers in the formation is useless in the face of absolute power."

Sha Moke nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, those elephants are invulnerable, and they run like a landslide at the same time."

Gao Ling swallowed, lowered his head and murmured: "Is it so powerful?"

"Uncle Gao, you have led the army for many years, have you ever encountered such a situation? Is there a good way to deal with it?" Lan Yuan turned to Gao Shun for advice.

Gao Shun put his left hand on his chin, his face was full of seriousness, he frowned and replied: "I have met tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, but I have only heard about elephants. Maybe you can find a way if you are well-informed... "

"Then what should we do? Our southern expedition is like a broken bamboo, and we are about to reach the capital of Linyi. We can't be blocked by these beasts, right? There are such beasts in this poor place..." Shamoke looked very anxious.

"The original name of Linyi King's Capital is Xianglin. Isn't that name obvious enough?" Lan Yuan shook his head after speaking. The critical situation before him was the biggest difficulty he had encountered since he joined the army.

"Elephant forest, elephant forest, elephant forest?" Samoke suddenly realized.

Gao Shun saw that Lan Yuan's brows were frowning, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter how powerful an elephant is, it's still a beast. The Zhan people can control them, which means that this thing must have a weakness. Let's see if we can take advantage of the cavalry tomorrow and find a way to break it." Get rid of the beast army of the Cham people."

"Prefect Yu once stayed in Rinan when he was young. He might know the habits of elephants. Chu Sima, you immediately send someone to Lu Rong overnight and ask him for advice on how to break the elephant army." Lan Yuan thought in his mind. Suddenly a flash of inspiration came.

"Wei." Chu Qing cupped his fists and left.

"I'll also ask some prisoners of war to see if these elephants have any weaknesses. You go back to rest first, and order the battalions to keep vigilant at night, so as to prevent people from taking advantage of the victory to rob the camp." Lan Yuan waved his hand.

"Wei." All the generals clasped their fists together.

After Lan Yuan ordered all the generals, he walked out of the main tent with Gao Shun, and the two went straight to the prisoner-of-war camp.

At noon the next day, Linyi's army slowly marched northward, and 'caught up' to Jiaozhou's Southern Expeditionary Army in the wilderness twenty miles south of the Hoi An River, and Ou Jin finally met his real opponent.

Seeing the banners and flags of the Han army unfurling, and the bright armor shining in the sun, Lan Yuan ordered the soldiers to form a fish-scale formation under Gao Shun's suggestion. When in formation, let the soldiers have enough distance to retreat, so that they will not collide with each other because of panic.

Seeing the large number of Han troops, Qu Jin did not rush to let the war elephants charge into battle. After all, it would be a matter of time before the Han Dynasty came to prosecute the division.

Seeing that Lan Yuan was eager to try, Sha Moke reminded in a low voice: "Young General, beware of fraud, why don't I go for you?"

Lan Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him, and said solemnly: "We represent the kingdom of heaven, how can we be underestimated by this small barbarian country? Just relax, I will meet them alone."

"Still..." Sha Moke was worried about the other party's drive, and when he was about to continue persuading, Gao Shun next to him gave him a sharp look, so he moved back and had to stop talking.

The guards in front of the formation immediately gave way to a passage, and Lan Yuan in golden armor straddled the steed and held his halberd. You can’t get a strong general, so you can only use wild animals as a supplement, don’t forget Bo Yang’s martial arts, if he claims to be the second in Jiaozhou now, who can compete for the first?”

"Father is right. The major general was able to fight back and forth with the third general two years ago. May I ask who has such ability?" Gao Ling also echoed from the side.

"Uh... I mistook the major general and my husband..." Shamoke scratched his head, and Lan Yuan sat in the middle army and gave orders, so he had no chance to show his bravery.

Gao Shunshu had to say to himself: "Maybe Zhongling can compete with Boyang, but as a younger brother, Zhongling will definitely not compete with an older brother..."

"Father, no matter how powerful Zhong Ling is, he is still compared to the generals of Jingzhou. We are talking about the generals of Jiaozhou now. Besides, Zhong Ling has not been allowed to fight by Mr. Gao Ling." Gao Ling joked with a smile.

Gao Shun frowned and replied: "The Huben Martial Arts Hall opened in July, and the youth camp under Zhongling and his command is the first batch of students appointed by Mr. The children in the youth camp are all descended from generals, and their physical foundation is far better than ordinary teenagers. I think it will be enough to study for a year or so, and then my father will intercede with my husband."

"Huh? Zhongling wants to bring so many people to Jiaozhou? Then my ranking will definitely drop..." Gao Ling said angrily.

Gao Ling's words made Sha Moke confused, but Gao Shun understood what his son was talking about. When the recruits of the army were selected at the grassroots level, they mainly used force duels to select them. Rank the generals of each state and county by force.

With his formidable strength, Lan Yuan easily became the first in the recruit competition, so he can become the new commander of the fallen army. Apart from his own background and Gao Shun's support, his strong force is also an important reason for his convincing.

"Practice more if you don't want to drop down. Usually, Boyang will teach you tricks. If you can't rank up, it's your own fault." Gao Shun glared at Gao Ling.

"Understood..." Gao Ling replied with his head down, not daring to refute, and said in his heart that you can see my hard work, and some things can't be obtained without hard work.

Sha Moke was about to ask the question, when Gao Shun suddenly ordered: "Although Boyang is excellent in martial arts, he must not be taken lightly. General Sha, you will be responsible for the response later. The rest of the generals should restrain their teams and don't panic. Look at my flag order later." act."

"Wei." All the generals cupped their fists in response.

Escorted by several personal guards, Ou Jin walked to the front of the formation, but saw a young general of the Han army riding alone in the formation. His clothes, the horse under his crotch, and the long painted halberd looked like Lin Yi's soldiers. Ashamed of myself.

"Who is here? How dare you invade my Linyi." Ou Jin pointed at Lan Yuan in Chinese and scolded him.

With a cold light in Lan Yuan's eyes, he replied coldly: "I am the general of Shangbang, and I was ordered to fight against rebels. Why don't you tell me your name first?"

Chapter 758 The Golden Armored Young General Is in Dire Way

Lan Yuan's complexion is similar to that of his mother, and his face is like a crown of jade, and his appearance is handsome. He is dressed in a noble attire, which is not at all compatible with viciousness, but the domineering rhetorical question just now directly stunned Lin Yijun and his ministers.

"Bold, I won't allow you to be presumptuous. This is my king of Linyi. Who are you?" The captain of the guard beside Ou Jin sternly yelled.

Lan Yuan glanced contemptuously, and Ou Jin was wearing a sky crown and tassels, and he was in the sky with the soldiers in simple clothes. From this, it can be seen that Zhanren's life may not be as good as before when he left the big man.

"Your lord is crowned with monkeys, but the people are poor and destitute. What have you gained after being separated from the Han Dynasty for decades? The dignitaries of the district family treat the people like nothing. This general is punishing crimes by the heavens. Why don't you get off your horse and be bound?" Lan Yuan Holding the halberd and waving forward, his words were sonorous and fierce.

Zhan Ren's guard tightened his reins and guarded Ou Jin closely, but he didn't respond to Lan Yuan's words.

"Little general, you are very good at instigating things. It's a pity that the people of this king can't speak Chinese. You are just a villain in vain. You don't look like an unknown person in your clothes. Could it be that you are a descendant of a scholar family? Don’t you dare to use the same name as your general?” The fat-headed Qu Jin teased.

Lan Yuan shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Linyi's destruction of the country is already doomed, and I should let you know it clearly. This general is the King of Hanzhong who personally named Jingnan Zhonglang General. If you feel remorse and return the whole country to the Han Dynasty, I may be able to say goodbye to you." Your Majesty pleads for love so that you will not die, if you are stubborn, hum..."

A mere Zhonglang will be so arrogant?But the other party's surname is very special. Ou Jin frowned and asked: "The little general is also surnamed Lan? What is your relationship with the current Jiaozhou Shepherd?"

"Jiaozhou Mu is my father." Lan Yuan replied proudly.

Ou Jin finally figured out his opponent, and the person who came was really not a softie from the scholar family. He quickly smiled and bowed his hands: "It turns out that it is the son of General Lan. I, Lin Yiguo, have always been good neighbors, and Jiaozhou has always adhered to the principle of not interfering with the water of the well. Why did you brazenly invade our country? Is this what Jiaozhou Mu meant?"

Lan Yuan sneered and asked back: "Your Linyi? Shouldn't it be Xianglin County in the Han Dynasty? Shouldn't it be Rinan County in Jiaozhou? Your ancestors established themselves as kings and divided the land and borders. You also detained my Guangzhou merchant ship privately. Imprisoning the people of my Great Han Dynasty, what face do you have to bark here?"

"Most of my Linyi people are from the Zhan people. Their customs are very different from your Han people in the Central Plains. Why should they be forced into the rule of the Han Dynasty? The original Han officials couldn't understand the public opinion at all. Why can't we stand on our own as Zhan people?"

Qu Jin's words were very strong, and then he changed the subject and added softly: "The arrest of the Guangzhou merchant ship and its owner before was indeed a misconduct by the port officials. The king admits that the management is not good, and he is willing to compensate for the loss. The little general is here today, just in time to pick up Wang Shi. Go, Lin Yi is willing to compensate ten times the loss..."

After hearing this, Lan Yuan looked up and laughed: "Under Putian, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's minister? Ri Nan County used to be the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it will always belong to the Han Dynasty in the future. It will not be different due to the different ethnic groups in the territory Split.

In addition to the Han people, my big Han also has dozens of other ethnic groups such as Baiyue, barbarian, Qiang, Di, and Jin. Why didn't they learn from your Zhan ethnic group?

As for the seizure of the Guangzhou merchant ship, now we are talking about compensation?late.General Ben was ordered to take back his homeland. If he wanted to survive, he had to surrender. "

"Then there's nothing to talk about? This king intended to befriend General Lan, but you are a yellow-mouthed child who is headstrong, so don't blame my war elephant for being merciless." Seeing Lan Yuan being aggressive, Ou Jin finally lost his sense also no longer exists.

"Beasts are no better than humans? You Zhan monkeys are nothing compared to this." Lan Yuan deliberately provoked the other party.

"Very well, don't regret it..." Ou Jin gritted his teeth.

Because Lan Yuan was too strong, the two sides directly discussed and collapsed before the battle.

Ou Jin turned his horse's head with a sullen face and on the way back, signaled Fanxi to command the elephant army to start charging.

moo moo moo...

Dozens of war elephants waved their long trunks and neighed, running nimbly despite their cumbersome appearance.

The momentum of the earth shaking and mountain shaking encouraged the courage of the Zhan army. They followed the elephant herd like wild monkeys and shouted.

Gao Shun, Gao Ling and his son restrained the battalions to retreat in an orderly manner, while Sha Moke and Chu Qing circled around with only a few hundred cavalry.

The soldiers in the scout battalion are selected from a hundred, and the mounts of the scouts are also selected from the best, and their running speed is far from that of a bulky elephant.
