Shen Wannian had been waiting to see how the Han army's guys carrying huge shields climbed over the first barrier. When the Han army retracted their heads and limbs into their hard shells and moved slowly like turtles, he even had some thoughts. Laugh. However, when the countless sharp rifles stabbed out, he knew that the first barrier could never be defended. But he still had some hope in his heart, that is, the Han army could not climb over with the heavy shield. What a high barrier that person has!
But he was wrong. He watched helplessly as the Han army easily climbed over the first barrier and was unable to do anything.
When the defense inside the barrier was reduced to almost no threat, the Han army's giant shield bearers lowered their giant shields and leaned against the barrier. In this way, it was like building a slope! The Han army's infantry bearers behind started to climb down the slope. Rush up and kill the few remaining Zhou troops. Then, the large group of Han archers and infantrymen swarmed through the first barrier. Then the archers attacked the Zhou troops who rushed over from the second barrier. Under the pressure of the army, the giant shield bearers also climbed onto the barrier, and then several people worked together to pull the giant shield up. Soon, the giant shield bearers began to gather inside the first barrier again.
Zheng Chao was the first to climb over the barrier. The rifle in his hand stabbed at least three Zhou soldiers to death. The Zhou soldiers standing on the low wall with their upper bodies exposed were simply targets, even easier to hit. Although he He is from Dazhou. To Dazhou, he is a traitor, but he is a man with some foresight and ruthlessness. Through these days of observation, he is sure that Liu Ling is a person who can achieve great things and plan for the overall situation. His future achievements will be There is no limit to it. The Great Zhou Dynasty lost its deer, and everyone in the world chased it away. Although Liu Ling was not from the Zhou Dynasty, he was the most promising person to end the troubled times of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zheng Chao's decisiveness has actually been understood by everyone since he immediately decided to surrender to the Han army after analyzing the pros and cons. This time, people have a deeper understanding of his decisiveness. Since Zheng Chao recognized Liu Ling The person who is qualified, capable and most promising to conquer the Central Plains, then he will follow Liu Ling to conquer the world! If he wants to gain Liu Ling's recognition, there is only one way. That is to give up the prejudice of national boundaries and use his own strength to conquer the world. Impress Liu Ling!
Sooner or later, the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty will settle down, but none of the chaotic forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty has the ability to unify the Central Plains. Even if Liu Ling does not send troops, after the Liao and Xia Teng take action, the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably destroy the country. The ending of Liao, Xia and Han. If Zheng Chao had to choose, there is no doubt that Han is the best choice.
The Northern Han Dynasty in history was founded by Liu Chong. Liu Chong was from the Shatuo tribe and was not a real Han Chinese. But in this chaotic era, the Northern Han Dynasty was not founded by Liu Chong. Even Liu Chong was He died early and has never reached the height that he should have reached in history. After the Five Husty Rebellion in China, no fewer than one million Hu people migrated into the Central Plains, while the Han population in the Central Plains dropped sharply. Liu Ling, as a person who traveled through The person who came has no Hu blood in his body, and in his heart, he is a Han Chinese through and through!
Liu Ling was very enthusiastic about this sentence. However, the Northern Han Dynasty was too weak to resist the double-teaming of Liao and Daxia. All he could do was to sow discord between Xia and Liao. relationship, and then let the two superpowers fight fiercely. In this way, Liu Ling will have the opportunity to unify the Central Plains. After he unifies the Central Plains, he will no longer have to worry about the two powerful countries of Liao and Xia. In Liu Ling's case, In his plan, unifying the Zhou Dynasty and conquering the Central Plains was only the first step. As for the second step, whether to assess the south of the Yangtze River or send his army northward, the decision still needs to be made based on the future situation.
If you want to defend Liao and Xia from outside the country, you must have strong military force. Beihai is just a small and weak country with a population of more than 2 million. All the people are soldiers. Regardless of men, women, old and young, the total number is even worse than that of Xia and Liao.
The total number of troops in the country is large! Therefore, Liu Ling knew that if he wanted to let the Han people rise, he must end the long-term melee in the Central Plains and form a unified country with strong military force.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the largest country in the Central Plains, with tens of millions of people, which is a huge population base. If Liu Ling had not wanted to protect the family relationship that has now disappeared, he would have even thought about whether he should help
With Chai Rong, the cavalry of Liao and Xia would never be able to set foot in the Central Plains. If he had traveled through the Great Zhou Dynasty, with the strong national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the entire Central Plains might have been unified by now. From Liu Ling to the new emperor of the Han Dynasty
Liu Ling's goal can be seen from the determined era name. The current era name of the Han Dynasty is Datong.
Just as he said to Lu Yuzhu, his wars in the north and south were not to achieve some unparalleled hegemony or to ascend to a position above ten thousand people. He just wanted to create a stable and peaceful country and bring peace to the world.
The people are no longer suffering from the war. Liu Ling always thinks that since God has arranged for him to travel through this troubled world, will he have any regrets if he just muddles along without doing anything? With his arrival, the trajectory of history has been changed.
, since the original history has changed beyond recognition, then he doesn't mind making this place more chaotic, and then completely ending this troubled world! He doesn't want to create anything, but just wants to protect it!
Once, all he wanted to protect was the family relationship that was thicker than water, but he failed in the end. There were many reasons, and it was very sad, but Liu Ling would never be decadent because of the goal he wanted to protect.
It has changed. What he wants to protect now is the happiness of the people, including his own happiness. He has a woman who loves him, and will have lovely children in the future. The people also have their own families, and
My own children and parents, but this troubled world is an era of cannibalism, and the people at the lowest level will always suffer the most harm.
Now that you are here, live a full life for the rest of your life! Since you want to live a full life, you cannot live just for yourself and cannot adapt to this era. Well, then change this era!
Zheng Chao is one of the many people who is sure that Liu Ling has a brilliant future, so for his own future, he puts all his bets on Liu Ling.
Therefore, when he took action to kill those Zhou soldiers, he felt no guilt at all.
Liu Ling smiled and pointed forward, and the army slowly moved forward and gradually entered the valley. Zheng Chao's performance was wonderful. His first performance in front of Liu Ling can be described as perfect.
It can be said that he used his actual actions to weaken Liu Ling's concerns about him little by little, and one day they will all be eliminated. When Liu Ling led the army into the first barrier, Zheng Chao had already led
With a team of less than 1,000 people, they defeated nine barriers in a row!
Seeing that the morale of the Zhou army was getting lower and lower, Liu Ling ordered: "Zhao Ba, you bring the reserve team up to replace General Zheng. He is tired! The soldiers are also tired!"
After finally getting a chance to charge, Zhao Ba screamed excitedly. With the remaining giant shield bearers, he fired up three hundred long-armed soldiers, and three hundred archers rushed forward.
Zheng Chao was indeed tired. After capturing the ninth barrier, he ordered the archers to suppress the enemy's counterattack. Then he ordered the giant shield bearers and foot soldiers to rest for a while. Although he knew that if he continued to attack with all his strength, he would definitely hit Zhou severely. The morale of the army was low, but he and his soldiers were indeed exhausted. The 500 soldiers he brought were at the forefront, and now about half of them were killed or injured. Although they killed more than six or seven times the enemy, their physical strength was still there after all. limited.
Fortunately, Liu Ling was not a harsh leader. Just when Zheng Chao felt that he could not hold on, Han general Zhao Ba led more than a thousand troops to kill him. Although he was not familiar with Zhao Ba, he also knew that this was A very brave general under Liu Ling. Seeing Zhao Ba running over, Zheng Chao wiped his sweat and shouted: "I'm tired, general, can you take my place?"
"It's just on the order of the prince, the general went down to rest!"
Zhao Ba responded loudly, then cast an admiring look at Zheng Chao, then roared and rushed forward with the reserve team aggressively.
Shen Wannian had already suffered four wounds on his body, all of which were stabbed by the sharp rifles of the Han army. It was his habit to lead by example in battle. But this time, his courage did not give his soldiers the confidence to win. , on the contrary, as he gave up the defense line again and again, his morale became lower and lower. Shen Wannian was not a person who relied on ingenuity to win. He had the force and courage to fight in an army, but he did not have the quick wit to deal with an unfavorable battle situation.
Seeing that the Han army changed its attacking team, and the fresh troops rushed forward, their morale became stronger. The eleventh barrier was quickly breached, and most of the two hundred Zhou army escaped. They did not even have the courage to resist. In the Han Dynasty The moment the army's huge shield approached the barrier, the Zhou army jumped off the low wall to escape. In their view, the hedgehog-like shield array could not withstand it. Shen Wannian was furious and wanted to come down to supervise the team to kill, but in the end Still sighing helplessly. As a general, he couldn't stop the Han army's offensive, so how could he blame the soldiers.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Wannian stood up and rushed forward to fight again, but was held tightly by his soldiers.
A soldier who had only been in the army for half a year looked at the roaring Shen Wannian and said weakly: "General, I...I have a way."
Shen Wannian was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the soldier's shoulders and shouted: "If you have any idea, please tell me!"
The soldier was startled by him and said with a trembling voice: "Yes... you can use rockets."
"Ha ha!"
Shen Wannian suddenly slapped the soldier on the shoulder and staggered him: "Fuck your grandmother, why didn't you tell me earlier! Someone, someone! Quick, shoot those giant shields with rockets. Burn those stupid Han soldiers to death!"
In fact, he was also anxious and confused, so it was not difficult to think of using rockets to attack the enemy. However, Shen Wannian had always thought that the defense he designed was impeccable, and he was extremely confused after the Han army broke through eleven barriers one after another. When I heard the little soldier’s reminder, I suddenly felt elated.
Zhou Jun's archers secretly tied strips of their clothes to the arrows, then poured vegetable oil on the arrows and ignited them. The strips of cloth dipped in vegetable oil suddenly burst into flames. Hundreds of archers immediately He shot out the ignited feather arrows and pierced the giant shield with a bang. It was difficult to ignite the giant shield stained with human blood, but the Zhou army had many feather arrows, and those arrows shot at the Han army like a pouring rain. Attack shield array.
Finally, after losing the twelfth barrier, most of the Han army's giant shield was ignited. Thousands of rockets ignited the giant shield, and the fire quickly started.
Seeing the power of rockets, Shen Wannian decisively abandoned a barrier, sprinkled the abandoned barrier with vegetable oil, and then led his troops to retreat behind the next barrier. After the Han army rushed over, a burst of rockets shot over. Suddenly, the Han army was plunged into a sea of fire.
At this moment, Zhou Jun's great luck came. (To be continued)
