Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 897

Qilan City, a plain on the outskirts of fifty miles.

The Tiger Camp is setting up camp.

Temporary camping doesn't require much attention. Generally speaking, it is to cut some wood, build a gate, and then set up a tent. In about half a day, a temporary military camp has been established. The defense is not strong, but it can shelter from wind and rain.

"How's the situation?" Lei Hu asked in a deep voice in the wooden tent.

When passing through the miasma ancient forest, not only the miasma is troublesome, but also the occasional snakes, insects, rats and ants are the most deadly. Although they rushed over safely, they also suffered some damage.

"The medicine prescribed by the military doctor is good. The miasma didn't hurt us too much. Most people passed through the miasma forest safely, but some people were injured in the ancient forest!"

"How much hurt?"

"Seventeen were wounded, and two died. They were all killed by a poisonous snake that sealed their throats with blood. Even the military doctors couldn't save them!"

"These miasma poisons are really troublesome!" Lei Hu had a stern light flashing in his eyes: "When I take down the miasma, I will burn them with a torch!"

"This can't be burned!"

Han Xian shook his head: "We walked through the deep mountains and ancient forests at the beginning, and we knew that these snakes, rats, rats and ants were dangerous to hide, and it was useless to burn them. The geographical environment is like this, so this is the only way. If we want to change, we have to take it slowly. If you don’t understand, it’s not for us to worry about it, let the lord worry about it!”

"Master Captain, the most important thing for us now is to support the main force to pass through the ancient miasma forest!"

A marching master said.

"Ok!"

Lei Hu nodded: "We have to try and see if Lancheng dares to attack, otherwise we will be in big trouble if we are ambushed by the army through the forest!"

"Are you going to attack?"

"No!"

Lei Hu squinted, his pupils flickering brightly: "Han Siam!"

"exist!"

"You personally lead the first and second parts, and tentatively approach Qilan City to see their reaction. If they dare not attack, it means that they are defensive. If they dare to attack, you withdraw immediately. We can only fight them first!"

Lei Hu said.

"promise!"

Han Siam took the order and left.

..............................................................................

Miasma beyond the ancient forest.

The main force of the army gathers.

"Report to the general, Zhanhuying has passed through the ancient miasma forest, and the miasma in this forest has been cracked by the medical department!"

"How long does it take for the doctor to prepare the antidote?"

"We have a large number of troops, and it will take three days for the medical department to allocate medicinal materials on a large scale!"

"very good!"

Wearing a battle armor, holding a sword in his hand, Huang Zhong straddled his horse, staring at a dense smoky forest in front of him: "This forest is strange, it happens to be between the roads, unless we take a detour and take a trail, Otherwise, we can only enter from here, I want to know how they are formed!"

"Hard to say!"

Standing beside him, Zhang Ren said: "The rumors have been formed a long time ago. This is due to environmental factors. Southern Xinjiang has always been a barren land. When the pre-Qin conquered Baiyue, there were more such situations, and the casualties were even more tragic!"

"It seems that the lord doesn't have much to say. The only thing that can stop us is the environment, not people. If we overcome the environment in southern Xinjiang, we can overcome the four counties in Nanzhong and dominate Yizhou!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Having said that, we can't underestimate the people in southern Xinjiang. The environment here is harsh, and the sturdy folk customs have been cultivated. Both men and women can be soldiers, and the whole people can be soldiers. If we don't want to let blood flow into rivers in southern Xinjiang, we must Outsmart!"

Zhang Ren said with a smile.

"That's a big deal!"

Huang Zhong nodded.

drive drive drive! ! ! ! ! ! !
A fast horse, leading a young Qiang man, came from a distance.

"General Han Sheng, this king has found a way without miasma, do you want to try it!" Shamo Kelema was in front of Huang Zhong, although he spoke carelessly, but his attitude was very respectful.

Why respect?
Because Huang Zhong is a strong man.

The barbarians have always respected the strong. Huang Zhong led the Zhanhu Camp and the Wuxi barbarian army to the south, leading the Wuxi barbarian soldiers and horses. Naturally, he had to show his skills. He challenged Sha Moke on the first day.

Although Sha Moke is now the number one master of the Wuxi Barbarians and a martial artist who has condensed the realm of Yuangang, his skill and fighting methods are far from those of Huang Zhong. Under Huang Zhong's saber, he was defeated after only ten rounds .

For this kind of master, Sha Moke naturally dare not be contemptuous, to put it bluntly, he dared to be presumptuous in front of Mu Jing, and never dared to be rampant in front of Huang Zhong, this is the deterrent power of the strong, so what if he kills you.

"Leihu has already crossed the ancient forest of miasma, and our medical department has prepared an antidote for miasma, and we can cross the border in three days. However, there is only Zhanhu camp over there, so I don't worry about it. In this way, I will trouble the Wuxi barbarian king to lead some elites to pass through the border." There is no miasma road, go there first, meet Leihu, how about it!"

"Row!"

Samoko nodded in response.

Since he dared to send troops, he was naturally mentally prepared. He would not be rewarded for nothing. If he wanted to survive in the world of the Han people, he had to have credit. So this time he came to grab credit. If he wants credit, he must first dare to fight. .

After Shamoke took the order to leave, Zhang Rencai asked, "Can this Wuxi man be trusted?"

"My lord believes in them, and I naturally believe in them too. Besides..." Huang Zhong sneered, "He sent troops from thousands of miles to play tricks with us, but he can't afford it. No matter how bad it is, I can kill him!"

"I only have the main force of the third battalion now, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will stay in Hanyang to guard. I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain him at that time. He is the strongest here now!"

Zhang Ren said.

"Not afraid!"

Huang Zhongdao: "My lord said that Sha Moke seems to be reckless, but he is actually a very delicate person with a little bit of city power and deep calculations. The more he calculates gains and losses, the less he will be our enemy, because only we, In order to give them the greatest benefits, there are a lot of princes in the world, how many can be like the lord, accepting the aliens as the lords of the people, the lord trusts and can rule the people of the world, and will not worry about the little aliens, he Shamoke thought If you want the Wuxi barbarians to be good, you can only trust us!"

"My lord's courage makes me admire!"

Zhang Ren said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, non-our races have always had different hearts. We are all on guard against this alien race, but we never thought that we can include them and become one of us!"

"My lord said that the reason why alien races are wild, crazy, fighting, robbing, and snatching is because they have nothing, and those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, so they hate it more than us, but if they can Enjoy this peaceful day, their fangs will be pulled out, their wildness will be tamed!"

Huang Zhong recalled what Mu Jing once said in front of him: "The world, no matter who they are, actually hate war!"

"Yup!"

Zhang Ren looked up, his eyes flickering: "I hate war!"

"Do you still hate me in your heart!" Huang Zhong asked suddenly.

"Hate, I can't talk about it, it's just..." Zhang Ren looked at Huang Zhong: "I always feel unwilling!"

"Tong Yuan and I fought a fair fight. Back then at the Sunset Pavilion, my saber and his spear were at their best. Even now, I have no chance to defeat your master's marksmanship." Yes, your master's spear technique is the most beautiful and beautiful spear technique I have ever seen, in fact, his spear did not lose to me, it's just that he lost to me at his age!"

Huang Zhongdao: "Since ancient times, beauties have lamented their old age, and heroes have not been allowed to see their gray hair. If he is 20 years younger, we will fight again, and we will never know whether he will live or die!"

He smiled and said: "In another ten years, maybe my strength will drop by three points. I can't compare with sword skills. Even if you want to compete with me, you can only compare with arrow skills. If you want to replace me Shimen, instead of your master, prove that your marksmanship is better than my swordsmanship, you only have five years left to challenge me!"

"I will!"

Zhang Ren looked at Huang Zhong at this moment, and he didn't have any hatred, but more fighting spirit. In fact, Huang Zhong was right. There was no big hand between them. Warriors practiced in summer and practiced in winter. However, it is not easy to get a chance to play to the extreme, and it is even more difficult to get an evenly matched opponent. Tong Yuan made the best shot in his lifetime for why he made a move.

"Even if I lose, we can't say that our marksmanship is not as good as yours. My master said that my talent for spears is already at its peak, but there is no one in the sharp gun school!" Zhang Ren said in a low voice. : "Zhang Xiu may be able to use the Hundred Birds Chaofeng spear technique to the extreme and catch up with the master's realm, but only the master's closed disciple can break through this limit!"

"Closed disciple?"

Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes, and his fighting spirit was ignited: "I'm looking forward to it!"

................................................

three days later.

"Report to General Huang Zhong, the doctor has lived up to everyone's expectations, and has prepared a medicine that can break through the miasma, but I found that there are still some poisons in this miasma ancient forest, so the general needs to be careful!"

Zhang Zhongjing appeared in front of Huang Zhong with a tired expression.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongjing!"

Huang Zhong nodded: "Pass down my military order and start to enter the forest. Be cautious and careful. If you encounter snakes, insects, rats and ants, you will kill them immediately. You must not let them hurt anyone!"

"Yes!"

The army began to cross the ancient forest.

With Zhang Zhongjing around, they went well, but the forest was too big and the medical staff was too small, so there were still some casualties after all.

In order to cross this piece of ancient forest, they injured hundreds of people.

And looked a little embarrassed.

"It's no wonder that a small landowner like Zhu Bao dares to be king and hegemony. This land in southern Xinjiang is really troublesome!" Huang Zhong said gloomyly, before it started, it had already hurt many people. He was upset and very unhappy.

"General!"

Lei Hu and Sha Moke have already greeted them: "The temporary camp has been built, you should take a break now!"

"it is good!"

Huang Zhong nodded.

……

night.

After resting for half a day, Huang Zhong regained his energy, and immediately summoned the chiefs and generals of all ministries to start the deployment of attacking Qielan City in the temporary camp.

"How is the situation in Lancheng?"

Huang Zhong asked.

"In the past two days, we have fought two battles with Zhu Bao. In the first battle, Zhu Bao took the initiative and led an army to ambush him in front of the small river. I beheaded five hundred of their soldiers, defeated three thousand of their soldiers, and won our first victory. !"

Lei Hu reported: "Then Shamoke barbarian king crossed the ancient forest to help. I strengthened my troops and took the initiative to attack. However, although Qilan City is not big, Zhu Bao was insane and almost took the whole city hostage to defend the city for him. We did not achieve any results. , but lost some troops under the city!"

"Broken?"

Huang Zhong frowned.

"The defenders of the city are all eleven or twelve-year-old children. Although the soldiers have the heart to kill the enemy, they will eventually be moved with compassion. Naturally, they will suffer losses on the battlefield. The land of evil is like a wilderness. Snakes, rats and ants are infested. The roads are different, the mountain roads are rugged, and these eleven or twelve-year-old children each have our individual strength!"

Lei Hu smiled wryly.

"It seems that Zhu Bao is determined to fight us to the end!" Huang Zhong clenched his fists, thought for a while, and asked Zhang Ren: "Gongyi, what do you think?"

"attack!"

Zhang Rendao: "Since he wants to fight to the death, then we will fight to the death. This is just a war. Even if it is cruel, I have to kill a bloody river. Otherwise, how can we deter the four counties of Nanzhong? You know, our real enemy is not here. It’s Yong Kai from Yizhou, Meng Huo from Yongchang, and Gao Min from Yuexi, if you don’t kill them to make an example to others, then won’t you give them momentum!”

"We're not afraid of really storming in, and Lancheng looks like a county town, but its scale is not as good as an ordinary city in Hanzhong. We have all the siege equipment, and we can definitely take it down. I'm afraid of Lancheng Not many people can survive!" Lei Hu said in a low voice.

The Mu army pays attention to logistics and transportation. The relatively large siege equipment can basically be transported with the army. Some ladders can also be built with local materials. Many have been built in the past few days.

If you want to attack Qilan City, there is no problem. Even if all the people in Qilan City are soldiers, they are just mobs.

"Then Captain Lei has a way to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Ren asked back.

Lei Hu shook his head. If he had a good way, he would still scratch his head here. Although he has settled down a bit and learned a little bit of military art over the years, he is always a fierce general, not a wise general. City, this is not something within his ability.

"Then follow General Zhang Renzhong Lang's suggestion and attack!"

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "General Zhang Ren Zhonglang has a good saying. We need to make a warning to everyone in the four counties of Nanzhong. , perhaps better, today's bloodshed is to make the future less bloody, and tomorrow, start a strong attack!"

Then, he began to deploy the offensive: "Zhang Ren!"

"exist!"

"The main force of the Dongzhou Army is responsible for the main frontal attack. The drums are constantly beating, the death battle will not retreat, the gold will not be heard, and no withdrawal is allowed. I will give you all the siege equipment, well rails, siege vehicles, ladders, and trebuchets. In addition, I have a personal barracks under my command, all of which are archers, and I will give them all to you!"

"The final general will live up to the general's expectations!"

"Thunder Tiger!"

"exist!"

"Besides, Lancheng is surrounded by mountains, and the mountain roads are rugged and steep. If you find a way to break through these places, as long as you have a way to kill the enemy, you can end this battle. I don't want to bleed too much. As long as If you kill Zhu Bao, the battle will be over, understand!"

"promise!"

"Samoke!"

"exist!"

"The Wuxi barbarian army has two fronts, one of which is the main force. You personally lead and assist the Dongzhou army in attacking the city. This is also an opportunity for you to learn. I know that the Wuxi barbarian warriors have little experience in attacking cities. In the future, you If you want to survive in the Han Chinese world, you must first learn how to attack cities!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, organize an elite team all the way, and you don't need too many troops. Assist Leihu in a surprise attack, and the three armies will be beheaded!"

"it is good!"

"This battle is the first battle of our herding army's southern expedition, and it is also related to the future situation of our [-] army of herding army. My lord is watching us, and everyone in Nanzhong is watching us. My goal is only one, three Within a day, break Qilan and cut Zhu Bao!"

Huang Zhong stood up abruptly, bowed his hands and saluted the generals: "Please encourage me!"

"Let's encourage each other!"

Everyone returned the salute with high spirits.
