Shu Han Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Burning the Vietnamese

"Kill it!"

In the face of such a mob, Zhao Feng didn't bother to make any more arrangements, so he said these two words. The accompanying general Kou Feng and the lieutenant Zhang Yi began to command the Wudang Flying Army and the Wuqian Flying Army. These two strong brigades were launched, just like two sharp arrows cutting through the formation of the enemy's. Everywhere they went, there was a bloody storm, and the broken limbs and arms of the Cham people who were cut off by them flew around.

"Why are these Han barbarians so powerful?" Looking at his own soldier like a sheep facing a tiger and wolf, Ruan Dan's eyes almost jumped out. With nearly 100,000 Zhan's troops, Ruan Fugui led 60,000 troops to attack Cangwu, and there were more than 20,000 defenders in the rest of the Xiangshan City. Ruan Dan saw that his number was more than the enemy, so he dared to fight in the city without waiting for him to come back. But what he never expected was that the combat effectiveness of his army was pitifully weak compared with that of the other party. Now the situation on the scene was completely one-sided, and the Chams who were wantonly killed could hardly organize any effective resistance.

"Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good. The Han people in the city have made trouble and occupied the Elephant Mountain City!" Just when Ruan Dan was in a hurry, another hard-hit news came. Ruan Dan almost fainted when he heard the words, but he still reluctantly cheered up and asked, "Didn't I still have a garrison in the city? How could it be occupied by the Han people so easily?"

"I don't know where the Han people and barbarians came from, and there were thousands of people who turned into the city from the back of the mountain. The Han people in the city were in trouble with them, and the defenders couldn't resist, leaving only a few of us running in!" The man said with a sad face.

"The back mountain?" Ruan Dan really fainted this time. Xiangshan City is built on the mountain, and the back mountain constitutes a natural barrier to the city. But Ruan Dan trusted this barrier so much that he didn't send anyone to garrison at all. As a result, after confirming that there was no garrison there, Zhao Feng immediately sent an elite force of 2,000 people to sneak up and kill him. These Wudang flying troops came from the mountainous areas and crossed the mountains like walking on the flat ground. This time, they were used to sneak up on the elephant mountain city where the mob was stationed, which was simply useless. Ruan Dan, a group of earth buns, how could they compete with this Han elite soldiers? In addition, the Han people in the city were bullied. Now when they saw the arrival of the Han army, they immediately responded and were soon occupied by the city.

At this time, Ruan Dan woke up leisurely. Seeing that the field battle could not take advantage of the field, his back road was cut off again, and there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, he still has a trace of brain. He knows that no matter how to make a decision, I'm afraid he will really have to explain it all here. After gritting his teeth, Ruan Dan ordered, "Let me withdraw to Jiaozhi and wait for the arrival of my father's reinforcements!" At present, he led the guard to retreat to Jiaozhi. When the commander fled like this, the Cham army suddenly collapsed into the army. Under the killing of the advanceless flying army and the useless flying army, it was killed and seriously injured. It was not until the war stopped in the evening that after cleaning up the battlefield that they found that their losses were really minimal. The 20,000 Cham people had been basically annihilated or captured. It is estimated that more than 3,000 people who fled to Jiaozhi with Ruan Dan.

"I won the first battle. I believe that Ruan Fugui will definitely return to Xiangshan. General, why don't we lead the army to ambush on the only way, wait for it to return to the army, and kill it all? After expressing his disdain for the combat effectiveness of the Cham army, Zhang Ni also said. He didn't want Zhao Feng to smile, but he said amazingly, "Why do you need so many trouble!" Then they ordered Zhang Wei and Kou Feng to act like this, and the two of them hurriedly carried out their own plans.

"What, the elephant mountain was broken?" Under Cangwu City, Ruan Fugui was also shocked to learn that Xiangshan had been broken, and that his son retreated to Jiaozhi. Elephant Mountain is his foundation. If it is broken like this, there is little hope for him to realize his dream of becoming a king. After hearing the news, Ruan Fugui was too anxious to take care of anything else and quickly led the more than 50,000 people in his hand back to the army for rescue. At the same time, Wu Ju in Cangwu City also received a military order sent by Zhao Feng, asked him to gather the state army as soon as possible and prepare to attack Ruan Fugui on both sides.

"It's so good, Captain Feng, go and gather people. Remember, General Zhao said that he was going to use fire to deal with Ruan Fugui. Don't follow too closely and be careful that you are also burned!" Wu Ju finally told him that Feng Xi was naturally careful when he heard the words, and then led the army to chase him without mentioning it.

Jiaozhou is located in Lingnan, and the climate is hot and near the sea. In addition, it has been rare since ancient times, so the original forest vegetation coverage is extremely high. On the road from Cangwu to Yulin, there are almost all vegetation on both sides of the road. In addition, this is the season of late summer and early autumn, when the vegetation is lush. Zhao Feng saw such favorable conditions, and he was sorry for himself without fire attack.

After a day of urgent march, the Cham army camped at the foot of a mountain in Bushan County in Yulin that night. Zhao Feng, who had already been reported by Tanma, heard the news and personally led people to meet this group of Cham soldiers.

"The general expected that Ruan Fugui really didn't know the art of war. The grass here was lush, and these Cham troops actually camped in the grass. Just a fire is enough to extinguish them!" On the top of the mountain, Kou Feng pointed to the camp of the Cham army at the foot of the mountain and talked talkingly. Behind him, not only Zhao Feng, but also Liu Feng's group of children followed him. After practice, of course, you can't go to the battlefield. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were a little excited when they heard the words. Only Liu Feng frowned slightly, and finally said cautiously, "General Zhao, if it's a fire attack, I'm afraid there will be no more than a few of these tens of thousands of Chamsmen left. Isn't it too cruel to do this?

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised when he heard the words. Looking at Liu Feng with a sincere face in front of him, Zhao Feng suddenly understood that this boy followed Zhang Zhao and Sun Qian to learn poetry and etiquette all day long. He was afraid that this bloody killing was not what he wanted to see. But now it's impossible to fight a war if it's not cruel. In order to solve these little Vietnamese cubs once and for all, Zhao Feng is willing to live a long life.

"I can't take care of these on the battlefield. When these Chams killed our Han people, did they ever consider benevolence, righteousness and morality? Liu Feng was the son of the world, and Zhao Feng was not too harsh, so he had to say a few words. Liu Feng was silent when he heard the words. At this time, Zhang Ni had sent someone to carry the sulfur and other fire objects with the army to prepare to set fire to the mountain. Zhao Feng and others were on a bare mountain far away from them, and there was no risk of being ignited.

Before long, there were one or two small red dots in a dark and silent forest ahead, and then there were more and more red dots, and they became bigger and bigger, which finally caused the whole forest to burn. In the blazing fire, those figures who fled around could be faintly seen; through the sound of the burning vegetation, the screams of the Cham people could be heard in their ears. Even in the air, you can smell a trace of barbecue. Of course, basically no one will have a big appetite at this time.

A fire burned all night. When the fire stopped in the morning and the smoke dissipated, Zhao Feng went through the battlefield for a long time and took a cold breath: the vast Cham camp was burned into a piece of white ground, and the Cham people were burned into a ball everywhere. The body looks like a monkey. As we got closer, the smell of human flesh in the air became stronger and stronger.

"Wow!" The first one to vomit was Liu Feng, and then Guan Xing, Zhang Fu and others also vomited. Zhao Feng's face changed several times, and then asked Zhang Wei, who came in a hurry, "How's the military situation?"

"Most of the Cham people were burned to death, and there were more than 10,000 prisoners left. Ruan Fugui led more than a thousand remnants to guard a small mountain on the other side. Captain Feng was leading people to besiege the mountain." In such an environment, Zhang Ni's face was not very good-looking, but he still reluctantly replied. At this time, Feng Xi sent someone to report that Ruan Fugui had surrendered and was being escorted here.

"Surrender, surrender!" After seeing Zhao Feng, the depressed Ruan Fugui knelt on the ground and shouted to surrender, and the troops around him were full of contempt. At this moment, Ruan Fugui suddenly took out a dagger from his high-top boots, and then jumped up and rushed to Zhao Feng.

"Find your own way!" Zhao Feng disdained such an overconfident behavior, dodged the knife sideways, and then slapped Ruan Fugui on the back of his neck. This trick, the sparrow's tail seems to be light and ineffective, but in fact it is as hard as iron. But with a " click", Ruan Fugui's tibia was broken, and he lay on the ground and twitched twice, and he was completely angry.

"Your Majesty! You, you dare to kill your majesty!" Several senior Cham officials who followed Ruan Fugui suddenly became anxious, but before they could express any wise opinions, Zhao Feng waved his hand coldly. Under a messy knife, these Cham people were all cut to death.

"Now the Cham people only have cross toes to occupy. Feng Xi, you lead 3,000 troops to destroy all these remnants with me. We can now begin to migrate the Chams in Yulin and other places to Jingxiang and Yuzhou on a large scale. If it's fast, we can catch up with the sowing of winter wheat this year!" Zhao Feng continued to arrange the road.

"The migratory population?" Feng Xi didn't know these things, so he quickly asked when he heard the words. Only then did Zhao Feng say the policy of himself and Liu Bei. Feng Xi and others couldn't help but hesitate when they heard the words. Finally, Feng Xi said, "These Cham people have lived here for generations, and it is really difficult for them to move to the land of Jingxiang."

"If it is forcibly relocated, it will inevitably disturb the place. It is really not a blessing for the people!" Cui Zhouping, who followed him, also sighed. Everyone was silent. Zhao Feng looked at the dull atmosphere. It was really hard to imagine whether these guys were crazy. How could he deal with the Cham people now? He actually paid so much attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality. Zhao Feng didn't bother to argue with them, but ordered the county magistrates of each county to organize manpower to migrate the Cham people to the north as much as possible, but the Han people stayed in the local area. At the same time, Jingnan's military camp has also been transferred to several enriching places. I don't know if there is no migration. Zhao Feng roughly estimated that he could move at least nearly 100,000 households to Jingxiang and Yuzhou.

Cui Zhouping was a little disapprove of Zhao Feng's " brutal" behavior, but with Liu Bei's order here, he could only be executed as much as possible. But there is one person who is different from them. He can't help but be dissatisfied. So that night, Zhao Feng was checking the migration in his tent, but he heard that the doorman came to report that the son Liu Feng asked to see him.

"Please!" Zhao Feng seemed to expect something, but he still let Liu Feng in first.
