The people of Tianzhu talked about burning, killing and looting. Wherever they passed, smoke billowed and corpses lay everywhere. Seeing this, I thought of the two words "benevolence and righteousness" again. This is perhaps the most absurd morality created by our nation. The law of heaven is ruthless, the weak eat the strong. This is true in the animal world, and it is also true in the human world. 'Benevolence and justice' is just a ridiculous thing that goes against the principles of heaven and earth. It is a dream that can only comfort itself, or it is a cowardly person trying to cover up his incompetence and cowardice. And codified self-deception.
The Tianzhu army marched all the way to Fengyu County. Arranged on the wilderness at the foot of Diancang Mountain, they are densely packed and boundless, like a brown ocean.
A Tianzhu general galloped up the hillside and galloped directly to the city gate. He reined in his horse, raised his head, and shouted proudly: "People of the God of Heaven, the Tianzhu army is going to pass through here to help you take back Dali City. Open the city quickly." Gate!" At this time, Kshatriya, the commander-in-chief of Tianzhu under Shuai, turned to the generals around him and said: "Be prepared. If the Dali people don't open the city gate, they will attack the city by force." Several generals showed excitement. Color, quietly passed the order.
With a creaking sound, the city gate opened.
The Kshatriya smiled proudly and said to the generals around him: "As soon as you enter the city, seize the city immediately." The generals nodded excitedly. As the orders were passed on one after another, the Tianzhu army, which was like an endless ocean, was launched and slowly moved towards the city on the hillside. A low roar came, getting louder and louder, and the earth was shaking.
Tianzhu's 30,000 forward troops first climbed up the hillside. The leader of this forward army was Mathur, the famous Tianzhu general. Mathur led 30,000 elite forwards as they continued to approach the city gate. Mathur's eyes involuntarily revealed a bloodthirsty look.
When the forward troops led by Mathur were still dozens of steps away from the city gate. Coming out of the city gate, the dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly turned around and ran into the city gate, and then the city gate slammed shut. Mathur suddenly saw such a scene and felt stunned. At this moment, the war drums on the city gate tower thundered, and thousands of soldiers appeared on the city wall. Mathur felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and asked sternly: "What do you want to do?"
What answered him was the scream of sharp arrows. Mathur only saw a sharp arrow whizzing towards his face. Mathur was startled, seeing the sharp arrow coming very fast and sharply. Without thinking about it, he subconsciously turned his whole body backward and fell off the horse. Almost at the same time, the arrow whizzed against his body. Then, with a pop, a soldier behind Mathur was shot in the chest. The soldier screamed and fell backwards. The entire Tianzhu Army's forward troops trembled, and then they became angry and waved at the city wall. Weapon yelled and cursed. The people of Tianzhu have always looked down on the people of Dali. Now when they see the people of Dali acting like this, how can they not get angry!
At this moment, dense sounds of piercing the sky came, and arrows rained down from the city wall. The Tianzhu soldiers who were shouting and cursing were shocked when they saw this. Those with shields quickly raised their shields, while those without shields turned around and ran for their lives, while others quickly fell down on the spot. There was a loud crackling sound, and many Tianzhu sergeants fell to the ground after being hit by arrows!
Mathur got up from the ground, staring at the high city wall in front of him, truly furious. He raised his scimitar and shouted sternly: "Attack!!"
The soldiers of the Tianzhu Army surged forward with shouts, and the shield bearers raised their shields above their heads. The army quickly approached the city wall like a giant turtle. The Dali army on the city wall did not shoot arrows anymore, maybe they thought archery was of little use anymore. The Tianzhu people rushed faster and faster, becoming more and more excited, and their roars eventually turned into the bloodthirsty roars of tigers and wolves.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, like a landslide or a tsunami! The whole hillside trembled! The Tianzhu people who were charging couldn't help but stop and look up when they heard such a noise. It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but you are shocked when you look at it. You can see rolling stones, trees, and huge prototype grass spheres falling from the city wall. However, they rush down the steep hillside. They rush faster and faster, and their power becomes more and more powerful. The stronger it becomes, in the end, it will really pour out like a flash flood!
Seeing such momentum, the soldiers of Tianzhu couldn't help being horrified and frightened. The soldiers of the army didn't know what to do for a moment.
A rain of fire flew out of the city wall and fell into the center of the tilting "mountain torrent". Immediately, the grass and trees rushing down the hillside burst into flames. The huge fireballs were mixed with rolling stones and trees and rushed towards the hillside. It was almost frightening. Stupid Tianzhu Army soldiers!
In an instant, rolling stones, wood and fireballs crashed into the Tianzhu army. Screams suddenly rang out, and only flesh and blood were seen flying in the crowd. The huge fireball burned the Tianzhu soldiers with fierce flames. The Tianzhu soldiers were burned to death, and wolves were running in all directions! The soldiers of the Tianzhu Army ran backwards down the hillside, and the 'mountain torrent' chased behind them, constantly involving the soldiers of the Tianzhu Army who were running slowly. The screams were mixed with the loud rumbling sounds! When the Tianzhu army at the foot of the hillside saw this scene, they couldn't help but be frightened and at the same time extremely angry! …
After a while, the hillside finally calmed down. I saw corpses scattered all over the hillside, mottled with blood, and clusters of flames burning and beeping on the hillside. The Tianzhu people suffered heavy casualties, at least two to three thousand people.
The Kshatriyas were furious and attacked with their troops. However, rolling stones and burning fireballs fell from the city wall again. Although the Tianzhu army was large in number, they could not get close to the city wall and suffered heavy casualties!
Although the Kshatriyas were very angry, they also felt that facing this city sitting on the steep mountain of Cangshan Mountain, they could not conquer it by attacking rashly. With this thought, he suppressed his anger and ordered the army to retreat temporarily. The Tianzhu army retreated seven or eight miles away and set up camp.
In the big tent, all the generals cursed endlessly, some scolded the Dali people for repaying kindness with hatred, some scolded the Dali people for not caring about life and death, and some clamored to kill all the chickens and dogs in Fengyu County. "Shut up!" shouted the irritable Kshatriya. All the generals closed their mouths one after another, and the tent suddenly became quiet.
The Kshatriya said with a fierce expression: "The Dali people have betrayed the alliance, and I will never spare them! They will pay a heavy price for today's betrayal!" All the generals agreed one after another, clamoring to slaughter all the Dali people. Duan Zhichun captured and cut his body into thousands of pieces.
At this moment, an officer rushed into the tent and reported: "Generalissimo, Duan Zhichun is here and wants to see the generalissimo!" When everyone heard this, they almost thought they had heard wrong. Kshatriya asked: "What did you say? Duan Zhichun is here?" The officer nodded and said, "He is outside the gate of the military camp now."
Mathur raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Okay! He is here to die!" He asked the Kshatriya: "Generalissimo, I will kill him!" After saying that, he ran out of the tent.
Kshatriya shouted: "Stop!" Mathur stopped and looked at Kshatriya in confusion. Kshatriya frowned and said: "This matter is a bit strange. Did Duan Zhichun dare to come and die after eating the courage of a bear and a leopard?" Then he said to the officer who came to report the news: "Go and bring Duan Zhichun in." The officer promised, ran down, and a moment later led Duan Zhichun in, who was dressed in military uniform and had blood stains on his face.
The Kshatriyas and others had already set up their stance to give Duan Zhichun a blow, but when they saw him in such a mess, they couldn't help but froze and felt baffled.
Duan Zhichun saw the Kshatriya and quickly bowed: "I have seen the Grand Marshal of Great India!"
Kshatriya looked at Duan Zhichun and asked: "Duan Zhichun, do you know your sin?"
Duan Zhichun understood what the Kshatriyas were talking about and said quickly: "The Grand Marshal misunderstood! The enemy your army encountered in Fengyu County today was not our Dali Army, but the Ming Dynasty Army!"
Everyone in Tianzhu looked at each other, feeling confused. Kshatriya frowned and asked, "What did you say? Could it be that Fengyu County has been occupied by the Ming army? What on earth is going on? Isn't there intelligence that the Ming army has retreated?"
Duan Zhichun sighed, with a look of fear and resentment on his stained face, and said: "The Ming army is really too cunning! Your army and the Bagan army have already approached Dali City. No one will think that they can defend Dali City." There is no hope, only retreat is the best option. Then Shi Liancheng took advantage of our thinking and deliberately pretended to retreat. In fact, the army did not withdraw, but ambush near Dali City. I thought they had withdrawn. , and received intelligence that Dali City was in chaos, and many gangsters were taking advantage of it, so they quickly raised troops and rushed to Dali City to try to stabilize the situation. ..."
Mathur mocked: "You are not afraid of chaos in Dali City at all, but you are afraid that we will occupy Dali City first."
Duan Zhichun pretended not to hear and continued: "Unexpectedly, when our army arrived near Dali City, it was suddenly ambushed by the Ming Dynasty that had been planned for a long time!" At this point, Duan Zhichun's face showed a look of horror. , "They besieged us with more than 200,000 people. We resisted desperately, but in the end we were outnumbered and retreated! Finally, the army broke away from the battle and retreated northward through Diancang Mountain."
Kshatriya asked angrily: "Then how did you lose Fengyu County?"
Duan Zhichun frowned and said: "According to the information I got, a Ming army disguised itself as our defeated army, went to Fengyu County and pretended to open the city gate, and then seized the city." Then he said: "Generalissimo, At this moment, there are not many Ming defenders in Fengyu County. The Generalissimo can take the opportunity to attack fiercely, and I believe he can easily capture Fengyu County. If it is delayed for a long time, when the Ming army arrives, it will be much more difficult to capture Fengyu County! "
The Kshatriya said angrily: "I know what to do, so you don't need to say anything!" Duan Zhichun was obedient. Kshatriya thought for a while and said to Duan Zhichun: "Go down and rest first. I have something else to ask you later." Duan Zhichun responded, bowed and exited the tent.
Wait for Duan Zhichun to leave. Mathur couldn't help but ask: "Generalissimo, why bother with that pure nonsense? Their strength must have been almost wiped out by the Ming army, and they are of no use anymore!" Several generals agreed.
The Kshatriya said angrily: "Don't you know how to use your brain?" Several generals looked at each other, all looking confused.
Kshatriya said: "Duan Zhichun's strength was almost defeated by the Ming army, which is a good thing for us. In this way, we have one less opponent to compete for Dali, and at the same time, we can use Duan Zhichun to rule Dali , with a member of the Dali royal family and a general like him serving for me, the people of Dali will not be resistant to us!" After hearing this, the generals felt that what the Generalissimo said was very reasonable, and they all felt very Happy.
Duan Zhichun led two of his cronies and followed a Tianzhu officer into a simple tent. The Tianzhu officer said in blunt Chinese: "You will stay here temporarily. Remember this is an important military camp. Don't leave the tent and wander around casually, otherwise you will be arrested as a spy." After saying this, he stopped talking. A few people from Zhichun turned and left.
After the Tianzhu officer left, a close confidant said angrily: "The Tianzhu people despised the general so much and placed him in such a place!" Another close confidant also looked very angry.
Duan Zhichun walked to a wooden pier and sat down. He frowned and said: "Our strength has been greatly damaged, so the Tianzhu people will naturally look down on us." Then he smiled and said: "But the situation is not bad, it seems that the Tianzhu people still want to take advantage of us. Otherwise, they can drive us out !”
The two cronies looked at each other, and one of them said: "General, since the Tianzhu people just want to use us, why should we be used by them! If we wait until we have no use value, wouldn't the end be very tragic!"
Duan Zhichun said: "We used each other before. Now, although the situation is a bit unfavorable for us, overall we still use each other as before." He glanced at the confidant and said: "You are right. , if we have no use value to the Tianzhu people, they will definitely get rid of us without hesitation. But we will still be of use value to them for a long time!" He smiled coldly, "Our strength has almost been eliminated. The Ming army has been wiped out, and the people of Tianzhu must be very happy, because for them, they have one less competitor to compete in Dali! But they still want to use us, use our status and popularity in Dali to serve them in ruling Dali! Hey, they are wishful thinking!"
After a pause, "Dali is our territory. The Tianzhu people want to dominate the situation. They are simply wishful thinking! He wants to use us, that's great. We will take the opportunity to use them to defeat the Ming army! The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. , humph, it’s not certain who will win in the end!”
Later in the evening, the Kshatriya summoned Duan Zhichun alone and asked in detail about the situation of the Ming army and the situation in Dali City.
Duan Zhichun said: "Although the Ming army defeated our army, it also suffered heavy losses. Ten Pavilions have already gone to Four or Five Pavilions!"
Kshatriya was overjoyed and asked: "Are you saying that the Ming army lost almost half of its troops?"
Duan Zhichun nodded, "Exactly!" The Kshatriya immediately made a calculation in his mind and felt that it would be easy to defeat the Ming army entrenched in Dali City and its surrounding areas in one fell swoop. Then he started to worry about Bagan. He was worried that Bagan would attack Longwei Pass first. He was afraid that the essence of Dali Kingdom and the Dali area would fall into the hands of Bagan.
When I came back to my senses, Zhichun was already talking about the situation in Dali City at this time: "... Dali Kingdom's accumulation of more than a hundred years, countless gold and silver treasures, brocade grain, are all in Dali City. It's really a mountain! The reason why the Ming Dynasty sent troops to our Dali is because they are jealous of the countless wealth. Fortunately, your army and the Bagan army came back in time, otherwise the countless accumulations may have been moved back to the Central Plains by the Ming Dynasty people!"
When Kshatriya heard Duan Zhichun say that there were mountains of gold and silver treasures and brocade grain in Dali City, his eyes couldn't help showing greed, and he quickly asked: "You said that there were mountains of gold and silver treasures and brocade grain in Dali City. is that true?"
Duan Zhichun saw the Kshatriya's expression in his eyes and nodded firmly, saying: "Of course it is true! In our country of Dali, from the royal family to the people, everyone has been doing business with the Central Plains for a long time, and also with the Great Tianzhu. Trade. After more than a hundred years, the wealth accumulated is naturally unimaginable! People in Dali City wear silk and satin, and gold and silver jewelry are not rare at all. People with a little status all wear diamonds and pearls. Waiting for precious gems to decorate themselves. If the Generalissimo arrives in Dali City, he will definitely see the scene of bright stars. However, it is not starlight, but the bright brilliance reflected by people's gemstones and jewelry in the sun! Ordinary families in Dali City, Therefore, a large amount of silver is used to decorate their residences. In some better families, it is very common to lay the floors with gold bricks. Many people also use various gemstones to decorate their residences. Therefore, our Dali residences can be said to be the most gorgeous in the world. , it’s brilliant during the day, and the scenery is beautiful at night! Haha, when the Generalissimo arrives in Dali City, be sure to enjoy it!"
Every time the Kshatriya listened to Duan Zhichun's words, the greed in his eyes increased. By the time Duan Zhichun finished speaking, the Kshatriya's eyes were already glowing green and he was extremely hungry.
Duan Zhichun saw the Kshatriya's expression in his eyes, sneered secretly, and then said worriedly: "What I am most worried about now is whether the Bagan people will break through Longwei Pass and enter Dali City first? If so, I, Dali, Hasn’t the country’s accumulation of more than a hundred years fallen into the hands of those uncivilized barbarians! That’s really a secret investment!” Kshatriya couldn’t help but become worried when he heard what Duan Zhichun said, and felt that he should hurry up The best thing to do is to conquer Fengyu County, otherwise it would be annoying if the Bagan people take the lead!
After thinking about this, he quickly asked Duan Zhichun: "Do you have any suggestions for conquering Fengyu County?" Duan Zhichun sneered in his heart, but looked like he was thinking seriously on his face. After a while, Duan Zhichun said: "All I can think of is to attack the city with all our strength while there are not many defenders in Fengyu County. In this way, the possibility of breaking the city in a short time is very high!"
Kshatriya nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Duan Zhichun, and asked, "Is there any path that can bypass Fengyu County? This Cangshan Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. Is there no path that can bypass it?"
Duan Zhichun said: "Of course there are small roads. But all the small roads are in rugged and steep places, so we can only travel lightly. We cannot carry the logistics, armors and other supplies. Even so, it is very dangerous."
The Kshatriyas thought about it and felt that although the path was rugged and difficult, if they could cross Diancang Mountain with a light force and appear behind Fengyu County, it would speed up the process of capturing Fengyu County. As soon as I thought about this, I had a plan in my mind.
The Tianzhu army spent the night at the foot of the mountain. Early the next morning, the Kshatriyas personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to approach Fengyu County and formed a demonstration. I saw hundreds of thousands of troops overwhelming the sky, like a brown ocean, with flags like clouds, swords and guns like forests, and shouts coming in waves, which made people's eardrums slightly numb; on the two wings, two war elephant troops were as majestic as mountains. Huge war elephants made loud neighing sounds from time to time, piercing the sky; a group of soldiers and horses was particularly eye-catching. They lined up near the handsome flag. They were slim and graceful. They were actually female soldiers. Unlike other armies, they were all dressed in military uniforms. Wearing black armor and black cloaks, their faces were also wrapped in black hoods. They held spears in their hands and carried two scimitars crossed on their backs. They numbered about ten thousand people. It turned out that they were the legendary attendants of the gods. The so-called Shura Army.
Hu Yanbixian climbed onto the city wall and commanded the soldiers to prepare for battle. The kerosene was in place, the rolling stones and wood were in place, the gunpowder barrels were in place, and the firewood balls were in place; rows of soldiers stood behind the wall stacks, waiting for the enemy to attack the city. Although the enemy army is extremely powerful, the expressions of the soldiers of the Ming Army are as cold as ice!
The drums of the Tianzhu army suddenly stopped, and so did the shouts. Just now, the world was shaken by rumbles and rumbles, but now it was filled with chills. I saw a Tianzhu general riding out and stopped at the foot of the hillside. He raised the scimitar in his hand and screamed at the city wall. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty didn't understand. They just felt like some weird beast was barking.
General Zhu was provoking that day. After shouting several times, he saw no reaction from the other party and thought they were scared, so he couldn't help but feel very proud. I saw him standing on the back of the horse, turning his back to face the city on the mountain, raising his buttocks, slapping hard with his palms, and mumbling something in his mouth. At the same time, laughter broke out among the Tianzhu army.
Although the Ming Dynasty could not understand the words of the Tianzhu people, seeing such a scene and knowing that the other party was insulting themselves, they couldn't help but be very angry! Teng Si and other generals asked Huyan Bixian to fight! Hu Yanbixian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no!" Then he took a hard bow from the soldiers, took out the wolf tooth arrow, bent the bow and aimed the arrow at the man standing on the horse with his butt sticking out at the foot of the hillside. An acrobatic warrior from Tianzhu. As soon as he loosened his fingers, he heard a buzzing sound, and the wolf-fang arrow turned into a black shadow and flew away.
The Tianzhu general was sticking his butt out and having a great time. He didn't expect that the other party would shoot an arrow, let alone that the arrow would be so accurate. Soon after, there was a popping sound, and the spike arrow hit the Tianzhu general's butt without any bias! General Tianzhu's laughter suddenly turned into a scream, and then he saw him fall off his horse. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help laughing, but the laughter of the soldiers of Tianzhu stopped abruptly.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
