This is the closest capital of Kang State to Chu State.
It can be seen from the name of the city that this place used to be a city with abundant water and fields.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Shuigu City is located in a valley where rivers intersect. The land here is fertile and there are grain fields within a hundred miles.
Moreover, because of its geographical location, it happened to be at the junction of Kang State and Chu State, so the city was also a transit point for trade between the two countries.
Therefore, this city is also a fortress city of Kang State. Its importance is the same as Tianmenguan of Chu State, and its prosperity is even no less than that of Kyoto of Kang State.
But nowadays, such a prosperous city has long lost the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the past.
All the rich families in the city left the town when the great epidemic broke out in Kangguo, and they don’t know where they went. However, these people were all wealthy and well-off families. When they left, they had already taken all their belongings with them.
Therefore, if they can find a place where the epidemic has not spread, they can live until the epidemic is calmed down and then return to the city.
At that time, they were still a wealthy family.
This is the usual practice of these wealthy families. It is undeniable that money is extremely important everywhere.
In such natural and man-made disasters, having money can sometimes really save your life.
But they cannot stay away from the traders in the city and the ordinary people at the bottom who pay taxes.
Therefore, when the plague broke out in Shuigu City, these people were the first to bear the brunt.
What broke out here was the plague.
After the plague broke out, everyone who could escape had fled, and those who couldn't escape were trapped in the city.
At this time, the city had already become a poisonous city.
In the city, the streets are full of people who died on the streets due to the plague. Without the threat of humans, the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the city are bold enough to roam around in the city openly.
The air seemed to be filled with a frightening black-gray color. In the city, screams and painful wails would be heard from time to time in the places where the residents lived, making the whole city feel like a ghost town.
This is what Wu Wen saw after arriving here.
Suddenly, he thought he was in hell.
He wore a mask specially made for him by Fang Yu. He raised his leather-gloved hands through the mask and chanted a Buddhist chant before walking into the ghost town.
He knew in his heart that as soon as he stepped into this city gate, he would have entered hell.
His plan was to visit every disaster-stricken city along the way.
And in this way, he is equivalent to dealing with the plague at close range.
Although his martial arts in the late stage of pulse condensation made him much more resistant to these viral infections than ordinary people, neither he nor Fang Yu knew whether this immunity could make them immune to the plague.
This was also Fang Yu’s persuasion at that time.
But Wu Wen still decided to come.
In his heart, even if it is just to collect the body of the deceased and recite the past life sutra.
With the belief that he would not hesitate to fall into the endless hell, the threat of death would not shake his Buddhist heart at all.
After entering the town, Wu Wen started to move.
Before he came, Fang Yu had already informed Wu Wen of his experience.
For a plague like this, in this era, the only possible and effective way to end the epidemic as soon as possible is to isolate, disinfect, and clean up.
Don’t gather together, drink hot water, wash your hands frequently, and clean away dirt.
And the best way to burn these corpses is to burn them.
Therefore, those people who were hiding in Shuigu City to avoid contracting the epidemic were surprised to find that under such circumstances, there were still people coming to Shuigu City!
Moreover, he is also a monk!
The monk dressed tightly, and then he dragged the corpses one by one on a trailer in the city, and dragged them to the market square with unsteady steps.
This place used to be a market where vendors sold their goods.
But by this time the building was already empty.
The surviving victims just watched the little monk build a wooden platform using various types of firewood, straw, and rags.
Then he watched him place the putrid corpses one after another on top of the pile of wood.
After the monk piled up the corpses, he lit the fires one by one with a torch. The corpses began to be swallowed up by the flames, and a strange smell wafted out. But the monk was sitting on the ground not far from the fire, with his hands clasped together.
He began to recite the rebirth mantra loudly.
"Namo Amitabha Ye... Duotagadu Ye... Duo Diye him... Amiridu Povi... Amili Duo..."
The awkward and strange sound of the Rebirth Mantra began to slowly sound in the square.
After reading it once, Wu Wen continued to read it from the beginning.
With Wu Wen's investment, the strange affinity in him reappeared. The victims who had been secretly observing Wu Wen in the dark listened to Wu Wen's rebirth mantra, and felt that the sound of the mantra was gentle and gentle, just like the murmur of a true Buddha, and the words were transparent.
There is a true Zen spirit.
After listening to it once, I feel that the fear and despair in my heart will be peeled away by it.
After several times, it was as if the whole person had been washed away from the inside out, as if his heavy mortal body had been shed, and he had been redeemed.
At this time, Wu Wen, who was cross-legged and reciting the mantra, was as if a real Buddha was delivering salvation for them.
Gradually, in their hearts, they could not help but have the idea of taking refuge in the little monk in front of them and worshiping him.
...
"Woo~~Woo~~~Woo~~~~"
A one meter long horn blew at the trumpeter's mouth.
The trumpeter's mouth bulged like a toad, his chest bulged high, and his face turned red as he blew.
This horn is not that horn.
There are no horns over one meter long in this world.
This "horn" is made of cowhide and is long enough so that the sound of the horn will be louder and spread further.
Because it is relatively long, when the sound is blown, a soldier must be raised in front to raise the horn, so that the sound can spread throughout the position.
The three-stage horn sound represents the attack. After hearing the horn sound, the Jinwu Army, the most elite of the Chu State, took the Shenbing Camp as the vanguard and launched a final charge towards the Dawan Royal Court in front of them!
At this time, the city wall of Dayuan Royal Court was already crumbling under the bombardment of various siege equipment from Chu State.
The city gate also began to tilt under the wooden mallet cart.
At this time, within the city walls of the Dawan Royal Court, within the luxurious royal court tent decorated with cowhide inlaid with various jewelry and animal bones, the second Heavenly Khan in the history of the Dawan people
.
Hu Yuanlie, the king of Dawan who once again conquered and integrated the various tribes of Dawan after Huyanbi, was sitting on the throne like a statue, saying nothing.
The sound of Chu's attack outside the account could even be heard inside the account.
The shock caused by the wood hitting the city gate and the trebuchet bombarding the city wall even made the royal tent tremble slightly.
Although the so-called Dawan Royal Court also built city walls like the Chu State.
However, Dawan and Chu are still different after all.
As a nomadic people, Dawan has always lived in a mobile way on this plain.
Because only in this way can their cattle, horses and sheep continue to reproduce, and they can continue to live.
If you continue to live in one place, the fertility of the land will soon be continuously depleted, and eventually it will be deserted and completely unable to support the survival of a normal tribe.
Therefore, the completion of the Dawan Royal Court is actually more of a symbolic royal court.
The original purpose of its construction was to provide a fixed point for various tribes to communicate together.
The construction of these city walls was not built according to the specifications of siege warfare.
After all, nearly 90% of the Dawan tribe's troops are cavalry.
They rely on cavalry to fight and are not good at defending cities.
Once the city is defended, it means that the tribe has reached its end.
Just like the current royal court.
Hu Yuanlie knew that it wouldn't take long for the royal court to completely fall under the Chu emperor's offensive. Then, the Chu army would break in, and the entire Dawan royal court would cease to exist after today.
When he thought of this, Hu Yuanlie fell into confusion.
Why...things developed like this?
Could it be that the Kingdom of Chu can defeat my Dawan?
A hundred years ago, the god of war came out of the sky, killed Huyan Khan with one blow, and cut down the military peak that had risen in Dawan. From then on, it was a hundred years of oppression.
He, Hu Yuanlie, carried out Hu Yanbi's legacy and relied on his own ambition and bravery to reunite the disintegrated tribes and let the Royal Court of Dayuan shine again.
And he also observed that the sun was setting in the Chu Kingdom, natural and man-made disasters continued in the country, and the God of War was nowhere to be seen. Under such circumstances, the rise of Dawan seemed to have settled down.
At that time, Hu Yuanlie understood.
This is God's will!
God's will allows Dawan to get such a good opportunity, and he is the Tian Khan who leads Dawan to glory!
Therefore, he was extremely ambitious and carefully cultivated the Dawan cavalry.
He is indeed quite capable. During this training period, he successfully improved the cavalry's shooting skills on the original cavalry shooting method, thus developing many new tactics.
For example, the "Great Detour" tactic.
Through their skills and talents in horse control, the Dawan people can exert unimaginable mobility on horseback.
They can use their own advantages to induce all attacking armies to extend their formation, then have the cavalry circle around and hit the rear of the army, then disrupt the formation, and finally separate the formation through a charge, eating them up one by one!
Using these new tactics, coupled with his terrifying talent in command, no one in the corresponding cities of Chu State could organize a decent counterattack when the invasion began.
He was not afraid even if the last Emperor of Chu personally marched and brought 50,000 Jinwu troops to join the battlefield.
Facts also proved that he did not need to be afraid.
Under the command of Ku Yuan Lie, at first the 50,000 Jin warriors of the Chu State were teased like babies by their Dawan cavalry.
Even with equal cavalry, those Dawan troops could easily defeat them.
Relying on only 10,000 Dawan cavalry, the Jinwu Army lost nearly 10,000 soldiers in just a few days, suffering heavy losses.
Hu Yuanlie was even more confident about this. It just so happened that the Emperor of Chu of Chu State was going on a personal expedition this time. He thought to himself that this was God's will. Once he captured the Emperor of Chu here, the history of a hundred years ago would be wiped out.
Reappear.
However, this time history will be reversed.
He is the God of War, and Emperor Chu is the hero who was hacked to death with a knife!
But just when he was in high spirits.
An accident...happened!
devil!
Those soldiers are definitely not human!
Those are the devils in iron armor!
!
When he thought of that scene in his memory, Hu Yuanlie couldn't help but shuddered.
How did he know that Wang Xuanling used the lives of those 10,000 soldiers just to find out whether he was real or not.
After fully understanding his offensive, Wang Xuanling released his trump card - the Shenbing Camp!
Before that, even Ku Yuan Lie could not imagine that there were soldiers in this world who could walk as fast as flying while wearing full iron armor, and could even charge at a speed comparable to that of horses in a short period of time!
It's not like no one has done it.
But for those who can do this, their martial arts must have reached the middle stage of pulse condensation or above.
As for the warriors in the middle stage of Pulse Condensation, not even the entire Dawan clan can gather together a thousand people.
But the Divine Barracks can!
And there are five thousand of them!
These soldiers are like warriors in the middle stage of pulse condensation. They are extremely powerful, obey orders, and are extremely ferocious.
After Hu Yuan Lie's Dayuan cavalry encountered this divine barracks for the first time, they just wanted to pass by the divine barracks as before, and then used roundabout tactics to play with the divine barracks.
Just within that short one hundred meters.
After the soldiers of the Divine Arms Camp gave the order from Emperor Chu, the originally peaceful armored battalion immediately exploded and turned into terrifying steel beasts!
They actually caught up with Dawan's cavalry just by relying on their own foot power!
Then, these armored monsters could jump directly onto the back of the horse, ignoring the soldiers' Dawan sword slashes, and rushed behind them. They didn't even use any weapons, just relying on the pair of iron gloves, and directly put the horse on the back.
The cavalry disembowelled him!
It's real disembowelment.
These soldiers don't look like normal people at all.
After killing the Dawan soldiers on horseback, they were able to jump directly from the horse's back to another horse like fleas.
In addition, there are actually two thousand soldiers in the Shenbing Camp, and the strength and speed of these two thousand soldiers are even higher than those of the previous soldiers.
However, these two thousand soldiers could clearly feel that they were not human beings at all, but like beasts. When sprinting, they would even choose to get down on all fours, and when fighting, they would sometimes pass by
Bite to kill the enemy!
In this way, the thousand cavalry sent by Ku Yuan Lie to test them were all wiped out in just a few cups of tea, and not even a few of the horses managed to escape.
Then, Ku Yuan Lie's nightmare started from here...
Later, Emperor Chu completely changed his tactics, and under his command, the remaining 40,000 Jinwu troops became the logistics and shield of the Shenba camp.
The Shenbing camp became the sharpest blade under Emperor Chu.
Facing all kinds of provocations and roundabout tactics behind Ku Yuan Lie, Emperor Chu completely ignored them and used the Shenbing Camp as the vanguard to advance the front step by step.
The Shenbing camp's terrifying personal combat capabilities, fearless fighting style, and thick iron armor made them look like fully armed giant beasts to Ku Yuanlie. Their tactics were so overwhelming under such absolute force.
Next, it completely lost its meaning.
Emperor Chu's goal was very clear, he wanted to sweep the entire Xiliang Plain.
Faced with Ku Yuan Lie's temptation, he didn't take the bait at all. He just followed the distribution points of the Dawan tribe in the Xiliang Plain on the map and crushed them one by one.
In this way, they were attacked by Emperor Chu all the way to the royal court.
Along the way, the Emperor of Chu adopted a policy of killing all the Dawan tribes he encountered, and then used their supplies as supplies for the army to continue advancing.
And all this also shattered Ku Yuan Lie's ambition.
