The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 269 Pirate Empire No.70 Six Mighty Princesses
Zhuge Ke has not been idle during this time, and he is still very busy. He is entangled with Fan Chang in the front. Digging pits at a suitable ambush location, how many pits to dig, and how big a pit to dig are all very particular. Zhuge Ke worked tirelessly to ask questions one by one, and visited the site no less than three times. His serious and responsible attitude is self-evident. Not only Sun Deng saw Very satisfied, even people like Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang were very impressed, and He Da, who always had his eyes above his head, had nothing to say.

To be honest, Zhuge Ke is not like his father, Zhuge Jin. On the contrary, he is very similar to his uncle Zhuge Liang. He is ambitious, capable, and does everything by himself. For this famous battle, he has put in unimaginable painstaking efforts.

Zhuge Ke didn't know how Guan Feng did it. For five consecutive days, they hunted and killed more than 200 scattered soldiers of Fan Chang who went out. Although the record was not brilliant, this rogue-style stalking successfully provoked After getting out of Fan Chang's anger, Fan Chang let go of his footsteps and marched all the way into his encirclement.

In front of Fan Chang, Zhuge Ke dug three deep grooves in the shape of a concave shape, which were three or four miles long, just enough to fit Fan Chang's forward.Wooden planks were laid on the ditch, so it was no problem for the soldiers to walk, but once the elephants went up, there was no doubt that they were designated to fall into the pit.

These experiences come from the last battle where Fan Zhan was dug a hole. With a successful example, these Wu soldiers are more handy. The little Zhuge next to the prince is not only smart and cunning, but also very kind to the soldiers. In addition to asking them about their health, I often ask them for advice very politely, which makes them feel very face-saving, and they are full of energy when they work, and strive to dig a hole that is close to perfection.

The successful fall of the first war elephant opened the prelude to the great war. Lu Dai and Zhuge Ke personally led the army to cover up and kill them from behind. Now they finally have a chance to vent their anger. Holding the weapons in their hands tightly, they lined up and rushed towards the rear team of the Funan Army. It made the Funan people who were sweating profusely feel a chill.

It was hot summer, but the soldiers of Wu State were dressed neatly. The soldiers walking in the front wore their helmets. The metal plates on the armor gleamed in the dazzling sunlight, which made people dare not look directly at them. The red paint draws the shape of flames, which looks like a jumping wall of fire from a distance.Behind these soldiers, the crossbowmen were walking, and under the command of the officers, they fired their crossbows with the beat of the drums. The rain of arrows crossed a distance of a hundred steps and flew to the rear of the panicked Funan army.These Funan soldiers had been running for a long time, they were so hot that they stuck out their tongues like dogs, panting for breath, their formation was already in a mess, and suddenly they were ambushed, the mental shock was self-evident. , the officers were also trying their best to organize the team to fight back, but it was too late. They had just shot sporadic arrows, and the Wu people had already shot the second round of arrows.

The sound of long arrows piercing the air was endless, and they flew into the formation of the Funan army. The Funan soldiers didn't have any protective equipment at first, and even if they had them, they were almost taken off now. Even most of the shields were carried on their backs. They had nothing to do but keep their eyes wide open and hold their heads in vain.

The rain of arrows caught off guard caused a lot of damage. The flying arrows pierced the black and thin chests of the Funan people, bursting out a string of blood beads. The wounded soldiers screamed terribly. But more were injured but not dead. They threw away their weapons, fell to the ground and howled miserably, rolling all over their bodies with mud, blood and sweat, and soon turned them into mud monkeys .

The Wu army succeeded in the first attack. After running fifty steps forward, the crossbowmen stood up and fired wildly on the spot, while the soldiers with swords and halberds lined up in a column and filed out from the space between the crossbowmen. Pounce on Funan's back formation which has been disrupted.Facing the Funan people who fell to the ground and screaming, they didn't have any compassion at all. They raised the weapons in their hands to kill as much as they wanted. , Spreading fear to the depths of the army formation.

Lv Dai rushed in with his personal guard battalion, where the saber went, blood flew everywhere, beheading three people in a row, and the violent appearance of the roaring battle made it impossible to think that he was over [-] years old.It has been almost a year since Lu Dai arrived in Nichinan, and the battle has been very aggrieved. First, he was attacked by the district company on the transportation team. Although Xijuan City was occupied, he had no choice but to retreat voluntarily and wait for Sun Deng to come to the rescue.Lu Dai is a veteran of Jiangdong. Since he took the initiative to join Sun Quan, he has fought countless battles, but he has never been so aggrieved once.The dignified veteran can only surrender the military power in the end. It is a great insult to Lu Dai to see Zhuge Ke, a hairless young man commanding the battle.This time Zhuge Ke allocated the most elite soldiers in the Wu army to his command and asked him to launch the first wave of attacks. This is a good opportunity for him to take revenge. Difficult.

So when he launched an attack, Lu Dai went all out at all costs.The weather is very hot, and he is sweating when he sits shirtless, not to mention that he has to fight in a full suit now, the sweat has already soaked his battle robe, and it is all stuck to his body, and he can even hear it in his boots. There was a sound of water, as if two feet were stepping on the water, but Lu Dai didn't care about it at all. He held up his sword and rushed to the front with his personal guards, commanding the whole army to move forward, forward, and forward with the greatest strength.

Zhuge Ke didn't rush to the front, he commanded the crossbowmen to advance in an orderly manner, covering Lu Dai's charge at the most suitable distance.Although he wanted to go to the battle to show his bravery, he knew that it was more important to give Lv Dai a chance to take revenge than to fight himself. What's more, he is now the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and he should pay attention to the development of the whole battle situation. Instead of killing a few Funan soldiers.

Under the command of Zhuge Ke and the impact of Lu Dai, the Funan rear line collapsed after only supporting a cup of tea. The Funan soldiers who were not shot or hacked to death were scattered, and were driven forward by Lu Dai, heading straight for the central army , Even the heavy soldiers threw down the grain carts and ran wildly with the flow of people.

The Chinese army is not easy either. Fan Chang, who is immersed in the dream of making contributions, has not recovered from the mysterious disappearance of the war elephant, but is attacked by arrows from both sides. Although he is in the Chinese army, Wu's bow The crossbow could not threaten him at all, but the fear of falling into an ambush still made Fan Chang's mind go blank for a while.The generals on the left and right were in a hurry and asked for action, but Fan Chang stood dumbfounded on the back of the war elephant, dumbfounded. After a while, he came to his senses, knowing that the matter of making achievements should be put aside and solved first Let's talk about the predicament in front of us.

Fan Chang raised his eyes and looked around, the front army was in chaos, the rear army was also in chaos, and the left and right sides were attacked by the opponent's bow and crossbow again, surrounded on all sides, it looked very dangerous, but he was not worried.First, he knew that his troops were superior, and Wu's army surrounded him on all sides. He seemed to want to catch them all, but in fact he committed the problem of a snake trying to swallow an elephant. As long as he gathered the army in one place, it was impossible for Wu's army to swallow him .

"Beat the drums and shrink the formation." Fan Chang waved his hand and gave an order: "The elephants stop and send infantry forward to explore the way."

The drums exploded, and the panicked Funan soldiers retreated slowly under the command of the drums. Those standing in the front raised their shields to cover the archers and fought back. They only retreated thirty steps away, and they found Wu Jun was only shooting from a distance, and did not chase after them to fight. After the initial fear, the Funan soldiers who were originally in a state of chaos gradually calmed down. The army screamed and killed, but Lu Dai had already defeated the rear army and was driving the rear army to attack Fan Chang's central army.

Fan Chang saw that the rear army had collapsed, and almost all the food and grass had been lost, which had become the spoils of the Wu army. His face was livid with anger. He ordered the guard battalion to stop in front of the defeated soldiers. Killing hundreds of rout soldiers finally stopped the rout soldiers from fleeing in an orderly manner, allowing them to pass through the gap between the two armies so as not to disrupt the central army.

Thirty war elephants lined up, roaring in unison at the Lu Dai tribe who rushed to kill them.The low elephant roar reminded Lu Dai, and he quickly ordered the drums to be reorganized. The soldiers with shields stepped forward to form a horizontal line. More than 100 shields painted with flames were lined up like a wall of fire. There was some momentum under the scorching sun. At the same time, more than 3000 soldiers with high morale stomped their feet and shouted in unison:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The roar was like thunder, overshadowing the roar of the war elephants, and suppressed the momentum of the Funan army.The war elephants that were slowly moving forward became a little restless, and several war elephants even stopped in their tracks, intending to walk back. Even though the elephant soldiers on their backs beat desperately, they refused to take a step forward.Although the soldiers knew that the flames painted on the shields were fake no matter how they looked, but the war elephants did not have such a high IQ. From a distance, the wall of flames formed by these shields was no different from the real thing. Their nature of being afraid of fire made them Fear arose in my heart, not to mention the loud noise caused by Wu Jun's deliberate shouting.

Lu Dai was overjoyed when he saw the hesitation of the war elephants. What he was most worried about was the war elephants of the Funan people. Zhuge Ke dug a long concave-shaped pit. There were holes on the front, left, and right sides of the Funan people. There is no pit in the rear alone, and it is precisely because of this that Zhuge Ke arranged eight thousand of the most elite soldiers in the rear.However, in the face of the impact of the war elephant, Lu Dai had no idea whether the shield tricks prepared by Zhuge Ke would work. If the war elephant didn't accept this trick at all and rushed over directly, he would face heavy casualties. It might even be a complete failure.

Seeing that the shield had the expected effect, Lu Dai was finally relieved. He continued his efforts and ordered the soldiers to move forward slowly with their shields in hand, shaking the shields from time to time to make the flames look more realistic. , On the one hand, he ordered more than 200 soldiers holding gongs to come forward, and at the same time they rang the gong with an order.

"bang bang bang... bang bang bang..."

The sharp explosion of the gong was sudden and rapid. The war elephants who were already a little uneasy suddenly heard such a piercing sound, and could no longer maintain their composure. The soldiers on their backs threw it down, then turned and ran, and then, more war elephants began to turn around.

"Rush up!" Lu Dai was ecstatic. Zhuge Ke's prepared method really worked. If he could drive these war elephants to attack the Funan people's central army, the effect would be much stronger than the Funan people's rear army.He seized the favorable opportunity, struck while the iron was hot, ordered the soldiers in front to speed up, and at the same time used the final killing move.

Rocket!

More than 300 crossbowmen drew their bows, mounted the rockets that had been prepared long ago, lit the firelighters tied to the arrow shafts, and then shot at the elephants.Although it is impossible for these arrows to kill these war elephants, the fire is genuine. There is grease in the firelighter. As long as the arrows hit the war elephants, the fire will stick to them and burn, enough to cause the war elephants to lose their position.

The rockets roared away, and almost none of the thirty war elephants were spared. Some were hit by one or two rockets, and seven or eight were hit by more, and the worst one was hit by a dozen. The flesh sizzled, and the severe pain made the war elephants completely lose their minds. They were no longer under control, turned their heads, spread their hooves, and ran away.

The fire-shaped shield, the sharp sound of the gong, and the fake rocket finally defeated the war elephant and turned the Funan people's greatest reliance into their nightmare.Seeing the Funan army formation being torn apart by the frenzied war elephants, Lu Dai laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to wipe off the bean-sized beads of sweat on his face, and let out a long cry: "Charge—"

The morale of the Wu army was like a rainbow. Although they were all sweating profusely, as if they had just come out of the water, they were excited. If Lu Dai hadn't restrained them to maintain their formation, they would have waited to catch up and slash.The Funan people are about to collapse, and this is the most enjoyable time to kill people. If the first battle is successful, generous rewards are expected. More importantly, if the Funan people can be wiped out in this battle, the damn war will be It can be over, and there is no need to fight against such a vicious sun anymore.

The roar was like thunder, coupled with the blasting of the gong, the rockets whizzed and rushed forward, driving the war elephants and Funan soldiers to swarm forward, broke through the barriers, and rushed straight to Fan Chang's central army.The screams of the soldiers and the roars of the war elephants echoed each other, sending waves of fear deeper.

Although Fan Chang tried his best, he still couldn't control the defeat of the army, especially the thirty crazy war elephants that made him helpless. The Funan soldiers were always in awe of the power of the war elephants. Once the weapons turned against each other, the lethality was equally astonishing. Facing the impact of the war elephants, the Funan soldiers could no longer keep calm, and finally collapsed like a bank washed by a flood.

The collapse quickly spread from the rear to the central army, and then to the front. The front army, who was about to send infantry to explore the way, panicked when they heard the chaos behind them. The generals hurriedly beat the drums for instructions, but At this time, Fan Chang had already been defeated involuntarily. He didn't even have the desire to give orders. The generals who could not get instructions could only fight on their own. After a brief hesitation, they started to run forward.

The soldiers flocked to the deep pit dug by the Wu people like a tide. The soldiers in front passed the deep pit smoothly, but the soldiers behind were not so lucky. After being trampled by countless feet, the well-hidden deep pit The pit began to reveal dark faces, especially those soldiers who ran with the elephants. They watched the elephants step on the cover of the pit and fell into the pit, but they couldn't stop. Pushing, I fell into the pit involuntarily, and was immediately stepped on by the person who fell in, and was crushed below, unable to turn over again.

At this time, it doesn't make much difference whether they are stepped on by people or by war elephants. Anyway, the result of waiting for them is the same.

The deep ditch, which was two feet wide and one foot deep, was quickly filled to a certain extent, and the Funan soldiers who followed cheered, stepped on the bodies of their comrades or war elephants and rushed forward across the deep ditch, and the soldiers behind followed suit. Run as far as possible to the already filled lot, the limited width is not enough for too many people to pass through, and from time to time someone is squeezed into the pit, which slowly fills up and becomes a passage for the successors to survive.And those soldiers who were unlucky simply ran at full speed, trying to jump over the deep pit. It is not impossible to jump over two feet wide, but how can you speed up calmly in a chaotic army, or use the spear in your hand as a support? Most of the soldiers fell down, and only a few lucky ones escaped.

However, crossing the deep pit does not mean that they will survive. In front of them, there are soldiers and crossbows that have been waiting for a long time. The arrows with cold light reveal a cold light, as if they are ghosts from hell.

With Sun Shangxiang's order, twenty Liannu began to roar, and a continuous rain of arrows rushed towards the Funan soldiers who were pouring in like a tide.The Funan soldiers were unable to dodge in time, and were shot to the ground one after another. Only a very few were lucky enough to rush to the front of the formation. The soldiers of the Wu army who wielded swords in their hands went forward and cut them easily in front of the formation.

However, the soldiers of Funan had no way to escape. Knowing that there was a dead end ahead, they could only move forward bravely. The crowd formed by elephants cannot be stopped by one or two people at all. Don't talk about turning around, even if you slow down, you may be trampled to death by the people or elephants behind.

At this time, there is no way out if you don't move forward.

The Funan soldiers were driven to a desperate situation. They went crazy and jumped over the deep pit one after another, brandishing their swords and shields, and launched wave after wave of attacks on the Wu soldiers who blocked their way of life.As the first deep pit was filled, more and more Funan soldiers rushed through the deep pit, rushed through the massacre of the arrow array, and more and more soldiers rushed to the front of the Wu army's formation. Some of them couldn't resist, and were beaten back step by step by the Funan soldiers who were fighting desperately.

"Withdraw!" Sun Shangxiang ordered, and the crossbowmen shot empty arrows, then poured oil on the crossbow, lit it, turned and ran away.

The pressure in front of the Funan people was relieved, they cheered in unison, and then chased after them. Unfortunately, their good luck did not last long, but within fifty steps, they encountered a group of Liannu intercepting and killing them again. In front of him, there was also a pit two feet wide and one foot deep.

The same tragedy happened again. The soldiers who rushed to the front were shot by Liannu and beheaded by the Wu soldiers who were waiting for work, while the soldiers and war elephants who followed fell into the pit one after another, becoming stepping stones for others. , It wasn't until the hole was filled that the fleeing formation of Funan soldiers became smooth again.

The Funan Army was firmly blocked in this concave position, 3 people crowded into a group, and they had no choice but to fill the hole with their lives.Although they knew that turning backwards was the way to survive, but the nasty Wu people blocked behind them, driving their war elephants forward and squeezing them forward, not leaving them a chance of survival.The people of Funan complained endlessly, and at this time, no one had the mind to think about how to solve such problems. They just ran forward, trying not to be pushed into the pit by others, not to be trampled by the running elephants, and not to become A stepping stone for others to escape, as for how to solve the immediate predicament, that is beyond their consideration.

Fan Chang, who should be thinking about this issue, is already stupid. He is riding on the back of a war elephant, looking at the army that is already in chaos, he wants to cry but has no tears. At this point, he can no longer control the army, and everyone is running for their lives , No one has the heart to listen to his orders anymore.

And he can't think of any way to save his army. The only way seems to be to move forward, forward, and forward again, and use his life to fill the pit dug by the people of Wu. He has more than 3 people. If The Wu people didn't dig enough holes, so they could escape some people and retain a little vitality. If the Wu people dug enough holes, then he would only have a dead end.

Fan Chang didn't have much choice, he could only follow the rout.

After giving up the third pit, more than half of the Wu soldiers under Chen Shi's command had been damaged and were unable to fight any more. They were forced to retreat again and again by the crazy Funan soldiers.Although the soldiers of Funan were defeated, and most of them didn't even have weapons, their eyes were reddened by the desire to survive, and they rushed towards the soldiers of Wu State regardless, even if they were shot by arrows or injured, they still went to the soldiers desperately. In front of them, they slashed with knives, stabbed with spears, slammed with their bodies, hugged Wu soldiers who blocked their way, bit with their mouths, pulled with their hands, and used all their potential to fight for their own way of life.

The soldiers of Wu State were overwhelmed by their madness. Facing hideous faces, their morale began to shake, and their formation began to loosen.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, Captain Chen can't hold on anymore." Sun Luban jumped and shouted, pointing at Chen Shi, who was surrounded by Funan people.

Sun Shangxiang smiled slightly: "Dahu, do you want to fight?"

"Think!" Sun Luban replied loudly without thinking, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Training soldiers for a thousand days, and using them for a while, I will give you this opportunity today. You bring some people to help your brother fight this battle." Sun Shangxiang turned around and replied: "Fang Qing, you bring 200 people to protect the princess."

"Here." Bai Yan replied loudly, turned around and led 200 people to stand behind Sun Luban, with a sound of hula la, the flying tiger battalion battle flag fluttered in the wind.Sun Luban suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and his little face was flushed. She stood in front of Feihuying, drew her sword and shouted: "Feihu!"

"Flying Tiger! Flying Tiger!" The two hundred female soldiers shouted in unison, raising their sabers out of their sheaths, a cold light shone, truly mighty.

Guan Feng turned around and said, "Ding Feng, protect the princess and attack with Feihuying."

"Here." Ding Feng promised loudly, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand destroying front camps came out.Ding Feng raised his sword, and a thousand soldiers of the Destroying Front Camp stomped their feet and shouted: "Destroying the Front, Destroying the Front!" It is full of masculinity, which makes people's blood boil.

"Kill—" Sun Luban's voice changed, and he started running under the protection of Ding Feng and Bai Yan.They quickly cut a bloody path and rushed to Chen Shi.With a flick of his sword, Sun Lu's squad leader slashed the head of a Funan soldier in front of Chen Shi, and blood gushed out all over her head and face.Smelling the hot smell of blood, Sun Luban was even more excited. He shouted coquettishly, stepped forward two steps, swung his long saber with a battle saber, and slashed fiercely at the neck of another Funan soldier, dragging hard, The handle of the knife had already slammed into the face of another enemy.

Chen Shi looked at this petite but unstoppable young general in surprise, and he came back to his senses after a while, and suddenly he raised his knife and shouted, "The princess is mighty!"
