Seeing those war elephants rushing towards him again, Di Qing wanted to open his mouth and order to continue firing arrows. He roared and saw that Wu Sheng's army was motionless. This time he remembered that he was not the commander of this army and wanted to urge Yun Zheng. He used those monsters to
The elephant on fire had frightened Wu Shengjun out of his wits.
After looking carefully, I discovered that Wu Shengjun was in a strange state. The soldiers standing in the front row had already taken out a lot of large nets, and some of them were already eager to try them. For example, Xiao Lin, who had both hands
Each of them grabbed a sharp armor-piercing awl and squatted on a huge stone, seeming to be waiting for the arrival of the elephant. As soon as the elephant came, they were ready to jump on the elephant's back.
The eight-niu crossbow at the back has a crossbow gun installed, and the crossbow gun behind the eight-niu crossbow is also in a state of activation. At this time, Wu Shengjun's forward troops are like a hunter waiting for their prey to enter the trap...
Some elephants were burned by the fire while running and fell to the ground. The elephant slaves on the elephants were violently thrown off the elephants, and then trampled into pulp by the elephants that were chasing after them...
Having reached the limit of two hundred steps, Yun Zheng looked at the elephants with regret, waved his hand, and the ballista sent gunpowder bombs into the sky. The gunpowder bombs fell among the elephants, and a battle ensued.
In a feast of flesh and blood, a piece of the elephant's trunk fell not far from Yunzheng. The monkey jumped over and picked up the piece of elephant's trunk, then waved it to Yunzheng like a treasure.
Place it on the big stone next to it.
After the smoke cleared, there were a lot of elephant carcasses lying on the ground. There were also a few elephants that were sprinting towards the mountains like crazy. Unable to climb the high slope, they kept running up again and again, with wounds all over their bodies gushing out.
There was a lot of blood, and the whines of the elephants came one after another. The elephant slaves standing on the elephants' backs had long disappeared. Yun Zheng very much hoped to catch a few elephant slaves to help him train the elephants, so that he could fight in Jiaozhi.
Having an elephant will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"Thunderbolts are such a unique weapon. When can we equip them?" Di Qing walked over from the left and asked Yunzheng thoughtfully while looking at the elephant carcasses everywhere.
"It will be almost done after you return to the army. I have handed over the recipe to Your Majesty, but we have a word first. If my army is attacked by gunpowder bombs when fighting foreign enemies, I swear that I will definitely transfer the military resources in charge.
The assigned officials were cut into pieces! When you return to the capital, tell these officials that Yun Zheng must not be a joke in this matter. If my subordinates suffer serious casualties, it is possible to kill his entire family."
After hearing what Yun Zheng said, Di Qing laughed and said: "Your words must be more effective than the laws of the Song Dynasty. I will definitely tell all the generals who have received gunpowder bombs to listen!"
Yun Zheng said solemnly: "I also told your majesty about this when I handed the recipe to your majesty. Your majesty promised me, so when you tell them this, don't take it as a joke."
.”
Di Qing's face changed. He took a breath and said, "Did you really tell the officials?"
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. The official who was given to me by Your Majesty as the captain of the light chariot was exchanged by me for this fatwa. So when the time comes, I will definitely kill people, and I will show no mercy, both in heaven and on earth."
I will also let him die without a burial!"
"You exchanged the Qingqi Captain for a fatwa?"
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "This world always needs some fools. It's easy to get the title of Captain of Qingche, but it's definitely not easy to get this fatwa."
"No one blames you for being rebellious? Han Qi didn't say a word?" Di Qing became more and more strange. This is the power of a minister!
"No, at least I didn't hear anyone objecting when His Majesty gave me the decree! Zeng Gongliang actually put himself into it, and even sent me a letter saying that if it leaked out from his mouth, he would kill it himself without me having to do anything.
Own!"
Di Qing said seriously: "Okay, such a magical weapon really shouldn't be known to outsiders."
As he spoke, Wu Shengjun's soldiers had slowly approached the elephants. Countless iron nets were thrown up. Those elephants that could still stand were immediately entangled in the iron nets. Several crazy elephants were trapped by the iron nets.
After being entangled, he slowly calmed down. As long as the elephant was not killed on the spot, the possibility of death at this time was very small. Yun Zheng looked at the split flesh on the elephant's wound and shook his head. An inch thick
Skin, I don’t know how this thing grows.
After searching the battlefield, more than a dozen elephant slaves were found who were still alive. This made Yun Zheng very happy. He immediately had people tie them up with iron chains and send them to the military camp. He ordered the guards not to let these people escape.
.
Now that the war elephants have been eliminated, Yun Zheng continues to advance with the army. At this time, the most important thing is to rush out of the valley in one go. Otherwise, when Nong Zhigao reacts, God knows what tricks are waiting for him.
There was only one small village at the mountain pass, and the army with high morale captured it with a single charge. There were not many guards here. The only thing that made Yun Zheng happy was that there were more than thirty little elephants in the village. These little elephants must be those of the big elephants.
The cubs of elephants. When the war came, the elephant slaves separated these young elephants from the elephants and turned the village into an elephant nest. No wonder those elephants were indomitable in the face of the fire. These guys did have some tricks. The behavior of elephants protecting their cubs
It became a means of warfare.
Yun Zheng's joy did not last long. When he looked up from the wall of the small village, he couldn't help but moan...
A pure stone city appeared in front of them. The city walls were at least three feet high and were all made of the black rocks here. The city had not yet been completed, and the watchtowers and crenellations at the head of the city had not been completed. Just when Yunzheng's army appeared in
On the Taniguchi Plain, there were countless slaves at the top of the city carrying stones to reinforce the city.
As soon as the army entered within 500 steps of the city, they were greeted by countless crossbows. Yun Zheng only exited the shooting range of the Eight Bull Crossbows after losing more than twenty of his men.
Looking at the miserable deaths of his subordinates, Yun Zheng said to Di Qing: "Privy Envoy, the general who lost the Eight Bull Crossbow should also be cut into pieces!" Di Qing ignored Yun Zheng's complaint and sighed as he looked at the majestic city in front of him.
Said: "This is the purpose of Nong Zhigao's invasion of the Song Dynasty. No wonder he would withdraw his troops from Dingzhou himself. No wonder he gave up Yongzhou neatly. We all thought he would establish his own Nantian Dali Kingdom in Yongzhou.
Unexpectedly, their fundamental purpose is to stabilize their home base of Guangyuan Prefecture."
Yun Zheng looked at the big city and said: "This city has been under construction for at least many years, but the large-scale construction was only last year. You only need to look at the stones on the city wall to clearly understand that the stones below are the same as those above.
The color is obviously different.
Nong Zhigao went to Han Dynasty just to plunder money and slaves. When I was at Hot Spring Pass, I felt strange that Huang Shimi only had women and children in his hands, but no young men. I thought they had killed all the young men. Who could
Knowing that they actually sent all the people here to work as slaves to build the city earlier."
Di Qing was noncommittal. The Song Dynasty was an expert in building cities. As for these officials, if they wanted to build a standard city, their manpower and material resources were far from enough.
"Let's build the camp. We have our back to the canyon, block off the mountains on both sides, and set up the camp here." Di Qing gave Yun Zheng an order. The only person he could command in this team was Yun Zheng.
Nong Zhigao's beard and hair have turned snow-white in the past few days. Before this, he knew that sooner or later he would be punished for attacking the Song Dynasty. He originally thought that he could maintain three powers in the territory of the Song Dynasty no matter what.
After five years of majesty, when the Wuchao City under my feet is built, I will have won an unfailing foundation for the descendants of the Nong family. As long as the strong city is in hand, whether it is the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi, or Dali Kingdom,
, there is nothing you can do about it.
So when Huang Shimi failed, he didn't care. Those who died in the battle at Wenquan Pass were not his tribesmen, but just some incited mountain people. The death had nothing to do with him.
But the soldiers under Quirenpu and Binyang City were his real tribesmen. Seeing them being killed by crossbows one by one and being torn apart by the terrifying things that made loud noises really made him
It broke our hearts.
He was used to seeing cowardly armies in the south. Unexpectedly, when he fought against the elites of the Song Dynasty in Qui Nhon Pu, he finally saw the gap between himself and the Song Dynasty. When he fled with thousands of people, he was already
I understand that sooner or later the Song Dynasty will set foot on its own land, and Guangyuan Prefecture is affiliated with Jiaozhi. However, it seems that these Song Dynasty troops are not here whether it is Jiaozhi or not. The only thing they are interested in is their own heads.
Perhaps more than that, those Liao soldiers who stayed on the battlefield have been killed by the brutal Song Army commander Di Qing and another Song army commander Yun Zheng. It is said that except for the several Liao leaders who led them, the rest
All the people were buried alive.
Wuchao has not yet been built. Nong Zhigao believes that as long as he has another half year, he can completely build this eternal foundation. By then, the expeditionary Song army will not be able to attack it in a short time anyway.
If you go to this city, you will have a chance to sue for peace...
The sound of the Song army's horn awakened Nong Zhigao from his thoughts. Standing at the head of the city, he watched the Song army walk out of the canyon one by one, and came to the outside of the city to form a formation to defend themselves. Behind their formation, a
The military stronghold was rising rapidly. Looking at the endless carriages coming out of the valley, Nong Zhigao closed his eyes in pain. The Song army was preparing to attack the city.
"Buluotuo will not allow his children to be harmed by others. My child, you have to be strong. This glorious city will definitely protect us through the most difficult time. This is the responsibility of Buluotuo and Mulaka."
will."
A stout old woman walked up to Nong Zhigao and whispered.
"Mother, you have never fought against the Song Army. You still don't know how powerful they are. Manzhong's war elephants have been completely wiped out, and Mandong has also died in the battle. We are now left with the last barrier of Wuchao.
