Chapter 187 Gossamer Believers

Yazhou Island,
Sixty thousand cavalrymen cleared the area for nearly ten days.

Liu Xuan was standing on the Poyang by the harbor, and Zhao Yun was galloping towards him with a team of men and horses from a distance.

"Your Majesty, most of the Yousi people on this island have been wiped out, and a small number of them crossed the sea to the north and fled to Jiaozhi. There are basically no Yousi people on the island."

"Very good, Liu will garrison 3000 men at the harbor, and the rest of the cavalry will board the ship, land in Jiaozhi, and continue to pursue the Yousi people. We must drive them all out of the Han Dynasty."

"Order!"

Finally, Zhao Yun asked, "Why does your Majesty hate the Yousi people so much?"

During these days, Zhao Yun followed Liu Xuan in the battle in Yazhou and found that Liu Xuan did not hesitate to attack the Yousi man.

This can't help but make Zhao Yun somewhat confused.

Although Liu Xuan had ruthlessly offered high bounties on the heads of the Qiang and Hu people who invaded the Han Dynasty, it was after all aimed at the invading Qiang and Hu soldiers.

Later, when Liu Xuan invaded Qiang and Hu territory, he did not massacre civilians.

But this time, Liu Xuan's orders were much colder when it came to treating the Yousi people. As long as they were adults, all those who resisted would be killed.

Liu Xuan stood on the boat, pointed to Yazhou Island below and said to Zhao Yun,

"Zilong, look at this Yazhou Island. Two years ago, it was a small island on the border of the Han Dynasty. All the people on the island were Han people."

"But only two years have passed. Let me ask you, how many Han people have you seen while leading the cavalry to kill them?"

After Zhao Yun heard this, he recalled it carefully, then shook his head and said to Liu Xuan,
"There is no one out of ten, almost everyone here is Yousi people."

"That's right, this is the nature of Gossamer."

Liu Xuan said sternly, "If it is allowed to develop, maybe many years later, there will be no place for the Han people in the entire southern Han Dynasty."

"The purpose of killing all the Yousi people now is just to save more Han people. If I pay you back, will you still be soft-hearted?"

Liu Xuan's words made Zhao Yun fall into deep thought. After a long time, Zhao Yun raised his head and said,
"His Majesty's words gave Zhao Yun an epiphany. The general understood, so he organized his troops and went to kill Jiaozhi."

The remaining 5-strong army crossed the sea using warships and landed in Jiaozhi.

At this time, the hairspring man in Jiaozhi had already reacted,

All moved away from the coastal areas to avoid the bombardment of the Poyang.

Then relying on the mountainous terrain of Jiaozhi, an army of 10,000+ Gossamers was organized to fight against Liu Xuan's cavalry team.

Zhao Yun divided the cavalry troops into three groups, and each group was equipped with a thousand iron pagodas to rush into the formation. The initial effect was not bad, and the Yousi army formations everywhere were overwhelmed by the cavalry.

However, as they advanced further inland, the resistance of Gossamer soldiers became more intense, and all kinds of war equipment also poured out.

In particular, Gossamer's unique anti-horses can be moved and assembled at any time. Even if the cavalry here has begun to charge, several anti-horses can be arranged on the charge route.

This kind of horse-rejection has a very good effect on the cavalry, and the speed advantage of the cavalry is instantly wiped out.

Liu Xuan's cavalry could only continue to harvest the Yousi people with their superior combat effectiveness.

However, the harvesting efficiency is much lower than before.

The battle in Jiaozhi lasted for more than ten days, but Liu Xuan's cavalry gradually ran into trouble.

First, the Yousi people used equipment such as horses and chariots to resist the cavalry charge.
A few days later, the mobile giant crossbow was also in place. The lethality of this giant crossbow could not be completely defended by ordinary alloy steel armor.

Obviously, the support from Gossamer has arrived.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun had no choice but to organize the cavalry team to regroup. He changed his previous fighting style of frantic clashes and adopted more mobile and roundabout tactics to avoid the Yousi soldiers' war equipment and kill the Yousi soldiers.

At the same time, Xiangyang battlefield.

Zhuge Liang had deliberately asked his soldiers to slow down the pace of the siege. After the scouts detected that a large number of Yousi people had left Xiangyang and headed south, he suddenly launched a violent attack.

Within a few days, the front was successfully pushed to Xiangyang City.

Zhuge Liang commanded the army to fill in the trenches outside the city, and also filled in the moat to create a road dozens of meters wide.
Only then did he command the rear army, push out all the siege equipment, and prepare to launch a strong attack on Xiangyang.

Liu Bei knew that this was a desperate fight, so he sent almost all Jingzhou soldiers to the city.
Fighting to the death with Liu Xuan's army at the top of the city.

In this battle, both Liu Xuan and Zhuge Liang knew that there would be a tough siege, so they brought all kinds of siege equipment with them when they went out.

With the advantage of siege weapons and the high morale of Liu Xuan's side, they once attacked the head of Xiangyang City.

However, just when the city defense became precarious, a rumble sounded,

To the west of Xiangyang, countless foreign-looking soldiers were seen rushing over with howls.

These aliens looked different from the Yousi people. They rode war horses, elephants, even wild boars and other strange mounts. They shouted something in their mouths and rushed towards Liu Xuan's army.

"Who are these people?" Zhuge Liang stood at the back of the military formation, looking at Wuyang Wuyang's foreign army rushing over, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Before Zhuge Liang had time to think about it, these strangely dressed aliens had already rushed to the rear of Liu Xuan's army formation, and without any hesitation, they launched an attack on Liu Xuan's army formation.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to ask the soldiers in front to suspend the attack on Xiangyang City.
The soldiers in the rear took a defensive posture to resist the attack of these foreigners first.

Liu Xuan's soldiers are all wearing alloy steel armor and have sophisticated weapons.
But in comparison, these alien soldiers who rushed over were simply inferior to the miscellaneous troops.

Not to mention the various mounts, the weapons and equipment are completely inconsistent, and even the charging formations are messy.

Zhuge Liang had never seen such a way to rush into the formation, it was completely like a madman's style of fighting.

These aliens have all kinds of weapons in their hands, including long spears, short knives, maces, and chain hammers.

What's more, they held burning oil cans and threw them towards Liu Xuan's military formation.

The soldiers have never seen such a fighting method, but they have experienced hundreds of battles and have no fear.
Relying on mature cooperation, the incoming alien soldiers were killed one after another.

However, these aliens seem to have no fear of death at all, and all of them are fighting for their lives.

Coupled with their weird weapons and uncertain attack methods, Liu Xuanjun also suffered a lot of casualties for a while.

But in general, the foreigners fell much faster than Liu Xuan's soldiers.

The soldiers' hands were sore from the killing, and the blood soaked the red tassels on the soldiers' spears until they became sticky.
However, the aliens seemed to be rushing in endlessly.

From afternoon to dark, the ground was covered with the corpses of foreigners and Liu Xuan soldiers.

Zhuge Liang looked solemn. Seeing that the soldiers were already a little exhausted, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and temporarily withdraw the siege troops in the west to the north.

The two armies encircled one place, and the army at the north gate set up a defensive formation, allowing the soldiers who had withdrawn from the west gate to rest first.

On the top of Xiangyang City, Liu Bei looked at the dark crowd below the city.
He looked at General Yousi next to him with some surprise.The bishop's son led troops to support Jiaozhi. Now it is General Yousi who is in charge of the Xiangyang battlefield.
"These are the reinforcements the bishop mentioned, right? When did you Gossamers have such an army?"

General Yousi had a proud look on his face,
"These are not us Yousi people. Strictly speaking, they are followers of the Yousi Sect."

General Yousi pointed at the aliens below,
"Your Majesty, look at how fanatical they are. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Yousi Cult."

Liu Bei said: "Why, in your teachings of Yousi Cult, does it include the clause of instigating believers to suffer martyrdom?"

General Yousi smiled and said,
"We in Yousi Cult do not advocate martyrdom for our believers, but if someone dies to defend the Tao, then no matter how miserable he is in this life, he can become a chosen subject in the next life."

"These believers are the lowest-ranking lower-class race. They died as martyrs, and in the next life they can become the chosen subjects of heaven and live a life of superiority. This is their only belief."

General Yousi said proudly, as if the following aliens who died for the Yousi Religion did not regret their death.

"Your Majesty, according to the instructions of the Bishop, now that the reinforcements have arrived, we can start the counterattack."

Liu Bei couldn't bear it, "Are we really going to let these believers with low combat effectiveness lead the charge?"

"Why not? They have a large number of people and are not afraid of death. They are the best choice to be cannon fodder. When they disrupt the formation of Liu Xuan's army, that's when His Majesty's Jingzhou army and our Yousi soldiers will attack."

Liu Bei thought for a while, and General Yousi was right. Anyway, there were so many foreigners who were cannon fodder in the lead. These people were not afraid of death. Even if they bite, they can kill many of Liu Xuan's army.

After they exhausted the strength of Liu Xuan's soldiers, he sent Jingzhou elites and Yousi legions to attack, but Liu Xuan's army was absolutely unable to resist.

"In that case, let's start the counterattack."

On the siege side, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the camp, looking at the simulated military book in front of him, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".

Adding these sudden aliens to the simulation, the winning rate shown in the military book is [-]%.

"Send the order, the entire army regroups in the north of Xiangyang and sets up a defensive posture."

Zhuge Liang decisively issued an order to change tactics.

Liu Xuan was not on the battlefield in Xiangyang. Even if Zhuge Liang could not capture Xiangyang, he would never let these hundreds of thousands of soldiers die outside Xiangyang City.

Giving up siege and switching to defense is a safe strategy.

At this moment, thousands of miles away in Jiaozhi, the cavalry troops led by Liu Xuan and Zhao Yun encountered the same situation.

Countless foreigners suddenly came out of nowhere, and they were all brave and fearless. Facing the charge of the cavalry, some foreigners rushed up and hugged the horse's legs.

Hang on the horse's legs and attack the horse with a short blade.

Although the foreigner hanging on the horse's legs was quickly shot to death by the cavalry, this strange attack method actually made him successful.

Although the foreigner died, the war horse also suffered serious stab wounds, and bright red blood continued to spurt out from the horse's belly.

A brave foreigner who was not afraid of death caused Liu Xuan's cavalry to lose a war horse due to carelessness.

Liu Xuan looked at the several foreigners who were tied up and still on the ground in front of him.
The looks of these people were quite familiar to Liu Xuan. They had deep-set eye sockets, high nose bridges, thick hair, and always had a strange smell on their bodies.

Isn't this the race of people on the South Asian subcontinent?How could he suddenly appear in the territory of the Han Dynasty and directly attack Liu Xuan's cavalry as soon as he arrived?

Several foreigners couldn't understand what Zhao Yun and the others said. They just stared at the surrounding soldiers with wide eyes and muttered something.

Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly moved,
He actually understood what these foreigners said.

It turned out that they were speaking ancient Sanskrit.

It was only at this time that Liu Xuan remembered that he had already put together a language package for proficiency in terms.
Proficient in all foreign languages ​​such as ancient English, Hebrew, and ancient Sanskrit.

These foreigners speak ancient Sanskrit, and the meaning is a bit confusing, but the general idea is,
They are not afraid of death. It is honorable to fight and die for the Lord of God. If you have the guts, just send them to see the Lord of God.

And from their conversation with each other, Liu Xuan heard a familiar place name, Shendu.

"Your Majesty, I can't understand what these foreigners say. How should I deal with them?"

Zhao Yun asked from the side.

These were the few aliens he and his men had managed to capture alive. He wanted to ask them something, but after some interrogation, he discovered that the language spoken by these aliens was something he couldn't understand at all.

I had to ask Liu Xuan how to deal with it.

"Kill them." Liu Xuan said calmly, "They have been brainwashed by the Yousi Cult. They only want to sacrifice their lives for martyrdom. Then we will help them."

"Zilong, let the soldiers retreat to Yazhou Island temporarily."

Liu Xuan told Zhao Yun, "There is no point in fighting with such lifeless martyrs. They are just cannon fodder used by the Yousi people to consume our army's combat power."

Zhao Yun said: "But Your Majesty, these foreigners have arrived at the border of the Han Dynasty, and they will attack our soldiers when they see them. Some will even attack civilians. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, I am afraid that there will never be peace in the southern border of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Xuan shook his head, "These aliens seem to have been completely brainwashed. They only have the Yousi Sect in their hearts. They can't kill them all by killing them like this."

"If we want to eradicate these aliens, we can only solve the problem at its root."

Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
With a thought, a map was summoned from a hidden corner.

Ashoka's Relics (gold).

Liu Xuan has obtained this map for more than two years, but he still doesn't know what the relics of Ashoka will do.

It was only at this moment that Liu Xuan vaguely guessed that the relics of King Ashoka might be related to these foreigners.

Because judging from the map, the place where Ashoka’s ruins are located is exactly on the South Asian subcontinent.
This place should be poisonous in history.

Why are poisonous soldiers controlled by Yousi people, and their belief in Yousi religion has reached an almost crazy level.

For the Yousi Sect, he traveled long distances to join the war, and for the Yousi people to attack without fear of death.

"Zilong, let the soldiers return to Yazhou Island and rely on the harbor defense for the time being. You can lead a team of troops to a place with me."

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Body poison!"

The Poyang set sail again, heading towards Shendu quickly.

Liu Xuan knew that since there were already so many poisoned soldiers in Jiaozhi, the battlefield in Xiangyang must not be optimistic.

Although Zhuge Liang's talents can temporarily stabilize the situation, Liu Xuan's hundreds of thousands of troops may be dragged to death on the Jingzhou battlefield if the poisonous man's matter is not resolved.

With the lightning function activated, the Poyang crossed the Strait of Malacca and reached the coast of Shendu in just over ten days. (End of chapter)
