Many people know about Xiangbing from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When mentioning Xiangbing, they think of Meng Huo who was captured and manipulated seven times by Zhuge Liang. Although it is a "Romance" and not official history, it is very similar. Zhuge Liang gave it to Zhuge Liang. Nanman fights like a grandson.
Just because he was captured and manipulated seven times by Zhuge Liang, Meng Huo, who led the elephant soldiers, seemed to have a low level of force, and the elephant soldiers also felt very low.
In fact, it's not that the elephant soldiers are incompetent, but that the militants during the Three Kingdoms period were too fierce, so fierce that they were boundless.
It can be seen from one thing that all the foreigners, barbarians, and natives at that time were all experience monsters.
After Cao Cao lost the battle, he hid under the quilt and dropped the little pearl. Later, he thought, damn it, he had to find someone to vent his anger on, and then he began to conquer Wuhuan and pacify Liaodong.
Sure enough, after winning the battle, he was in a good mood and his depression was gone. Then Boss Cao wrote the song "Viewing the Sea".
Sun Quan was ready to recuperate, and thought that it would be idle to beat Baiyue, and then the more he beat, the richer he would become, and the more troops he would fight, the more troops he would have. Some people who didn't know better thought he was going to Baiyue to explode the troops.
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition did not go well, morale was low, and the family was sulking. Later, he thought, why not find some wild monsters to boost morale, and then went to kill the southern barbarians. After fighting, he began to develop the economy.
As for these three parties, it's a bit like three big bosses who fight each other when they meet. If they can't beat them, they go home and farm monsters to gain experience and economy. And these wild monsters are all barbarian aliens.
In fact, there were more than three big bosses who beat up the aliens. I don’t know how many people used the aliens as experience monsters to gain experience. After all, many of them were not famous.
Let’s talk about the famous one first, Ma Chao, who defeated the Huns cavalry. He is called the Shenweitian General by the Qiang people. He is a high-quality idol of the Qiang people.
Gongsun Zan conquered Xianbei and Wuwan every day in the north of Youzhou. He was so powerful outside the Great Wall that he dominated Youyan.
Dong Zhuo, when he was the Marquis of the Eastern Han Dynasty, would fight against the Qiang people in Xiliang every day, hundreds of times, just like training troops.
These are all relatively well-known, mainly because there are many unknown ones who use foreigners as wild monsters for fun.
Gongsun Kang destroyed the capital of Goguryeo and directly moved the capital to Goguryeo.
Cao Zhang conquered Wuhuan in the north and surrendered to Xianbei Kebineng.
Cao Zhen defeated the Qiang and Hu coalition forces and pacified Hexi.
Guanqiu Jian conquered Goguryeo twice, absorbed the peninsula, and expanded the territory thousands of miles away.
Wenyang destroyed the function of the bald tree and caused 200,000 people from the Hu tribe to surrender.
Or it could be said that the Three Kingdoms have exhausted their heroic spirit, and the Two Jin Dynasties are nothing but rats.
Let's just talk about Meng Huo, who was treated as a wild monster. The elephant soldiers he led were probably like a joke during the Three Kingdoms period.
As a result, in this dynasty, the wild monsters, who also looked like wild monsters and were worse than the wild monsters of the Three Kingdoms period, produced elephant soldiers. No, not even "soldiers", just a dozen elephants, and they asked General Nanguan to They were all frightened and panicked.
Dark gray skin, ears like cattail leaf fans, ivory tusks like curved spears, a body as strong as a rock wall, and four hooves like pillars, they started running wildly, even if everyone stood on the city wall, they couldn't help but want to retreat.
The body is more than five meters long, the shoulder height is three to four meters, and the weight is five or six tons. Even if there are only a dozen of them, such power is not something that a mortal body can stop, especially those soldiers who have never heard of the word "elephant". The team suddenly felt that the extremely strong city wall was in vain.
"Fire the arrow!"
Ren Canglin roared repeatedly: "Set arrows, shoot arrows, shoot arrows, kill the ferocious beast, don't let it get close to the city wall!"
The rain of arrows shot out like locusts crossing the border, and Han You's pupils opened to the extreme.
The giant statue rushing at the front let out a heart-shaking roar, and the polished "sharp arrows" pierced its skin.
This is the despicability of human beings and the horror of war.
When a terrible war comes, it will make human beings despicable without any scruples.
The first wild elephant fell, and a second volley of arrows was fired.
Those wild elephants that were not covered in iron armor had no idea what they were charging towards or what they were going to encounter. It was just the flames and severe pain on their tails that made them run wildly on instinct.
Two rounds of arrow rain followed by a short interval.
The interval of just a few seconds felt as long as a century, and it was so long that it made people anxious.
Among the archers on the city wall who could quickly change arrows in their sleep with their eyes closed, many of them began to tremble in their arms, and one after another their feathered arrows fell to the ground.
"Walk!"
Wang Hai was the first to react. He grabbed Han You's arm roughly and ran down the stone stairs.
Han You wanted to look back, but Lu Baichuan, Zhou Tong, and Feng Bai had blocked his sight.
When Han You stumbled and was pulled down the city wall, there was a loud noise like the sky was shattering and the earth was shaking. Countless archers on the city wall fell to the ground, and the entire city wall seemed to be crumbling.
The impact came again, like a huge battering ram hitting the city wall, accompanied by the painful howl of the Colossus.
Wang Hai didn't look back at all, he just forced Han You to run back.
There was complete chaos on the city wall, and the generals and lieutenants who were originally calm and composed roared loudly.
Han You wanted to break away from Wang Hai, but the latter's palms were like iron pliers holding him tightly, grabbing him and running backwards.
After retreating more than a hundred feet, Wang Hai shouted: "Master, if the wall is broken, you need to leave Lancheng quickly. You are not here to defend the city. The city gate has nothing to do with you!"
Han You pushed Feng Bai away, who was blocking his view, and was shocked: "Why is the city gate closed?"
The city gate was pulled up, and the cavalrymen gathered behind the city gate. When the city gate was pulled up to a height of ten feet, nearly a thousand cavalrymen rushed out with their long swords raised high.
You must know that the city wall is the biggest support of the Southern Army. The Nanguan officers and soldiers have never faced such a large number of enemy troops and rushed out without even defending.
Once this is done, there is only one reason. The pressure on defending the city is too great. People who dare to die are needed to share the pressure for the defenders on the wall and attack the large number of enemy troops that have not yet approached the wall.
What horrified Han You was that in a few breaths, thousands of cavalrymen all rushed out of the city gate. When the last person left, the city gate started to pull up.
"Damn it!"
Just as Han You was about to run away, Zhou Tong directly grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
Once the city gate is closed, even if these cavalry want to come back, there are only two ways, either to reopen the city gate, or to come up in a hanging basket.
Neither method can be done in an instant. If the army is pressing down on the situation, they will not open the city gate or put down the hanging basket.
Those cavalrymen had long been determined to die, and never thought they would come back alive.
"let me go!"
Han You did not struggle and said extremely calmly: "The city gates and city passes have not been lost yet. I promise you that if they are about to be lost, I will run away and leave Lancheng immediately."
Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, and Han You continued: "Nanguan has been lost. Only I, who has the military talisman and the imperial edict, can retreat and regroup the troops. I am not that stupid. I will not cause more people to fall into the flames of war because of my impulse." .”
Zhou Tong looked at Feng Bai, Feng Bai looked at Lu Baichuan, and Lu Baichuan looked at Wang Hai.
Wang Hai stared at Han You and finally nodded.
Han You took a deep breath and ran away. He wanted to know what happened.
