The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Seventy-six Princess Power

Zhuge Ke is not idle during this period, and he is still very busy. He is entangled with Fan Chang in front of him. He should not only look weak, but also not collapse thousands of miles away. Try to keep the rhythm and not to let Fan Changsheng doubt. In the rear, he should also choose the appropriate ambush place to dig pits, how many pits to dig, how many pits to dig, all of which are exquisite. Zhuge Ke did not hesitate to ask questions one by one, and visited the scene no less than three times. His serious and responsible attitude was self-evident. Not only was Sun Deng very satisfied, but also Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang were very impressed. He Da, who had always looked above the top, had nothing to say.

To be honest, Zhuge Ke is not like his old man Zhuge Jin. On the contrary, he is very similar to his uncle Zhuge Liang. He is ambitious, capable, and does it himself. For this famous battle, he has made unimaginable painstaking efforts.

Zhuge Ke didn't know how Guan Feng did it. For five days in a row, they hunted and killed more than 200 scattered soldiers of Fan Chang. Although their record was not brilliant, this kind of rogue stalking successfully provoked Fan Chang's anger. After leaving the mountain forest, Fan Chang let go of his foot walking army and broke into his bag all the way. Encirclement.

In front of Fan Chang, Zhuge Ke dug three concave deep grooves, which were three or four miles long, just installed Fan Chang's forward. Wooden boards were laid on the ditch, and it was no problem for the soldiers to walk, but as soon as the elephant went up, there was no doubt that it fell into the pit.

These experiences come from the last battle of digging a pit to deal with Fan Yan. With a successful example, these Wu soldiers are more handy. The little Zhuge around the prince is not only smart and resourceful, but also very kind to the soldiers. In addition to asking them, he often politely asks them for advice. This makes them feel very proud, energetic when they work, and strive to dig the pit close to perfection.

The successful fall of the first war elephant opened the prelude to the war. Lv Dai and Zhuge Ke personally led the army to cover up from behind. The elite of the State of Wu, who had been kicked out by the Funan people for more than a month, had been angry for a long time. Now they finally had a chance to vent. They clenched the weapons in their hands and lined up neatly to Fu. The rear team of the Southern Army came. Although the speed was not very fast, the pressure brought by the strict formation made the sweaty Funan people feel a chill.

In the hot summer, the soldiers of the State of Wu were dressed neatly. The soldiers walking in the front were armored with armor. The metal pieces on the armor glittered in the dazzling sun, which made people dare not look at them. They held shields, and the shields were painted with the shape of a fire with red paint. From a distance, they looked like a jumping wall of fire. Behind these soldiers, the crossbowmen walked while firing the crossbows under the command of the officers. With the drums, gusts of arrows crossed a hundred steps away and leaped to the back of the panicked Funan Army. These Funan soldiers ran for a long time. It was so hot that they put out their tongues and gasped like dogs. The formation had been in a mess for a long time, and they were suddenly ambushed. The mental shock was self-evident. In a hurry, although the drums sounded loudly and the officers were trying to sort out the team to counterattack, everything seemed too late. They had just shot. With sporadic arrows, the Wu people have shot the second arrows.

The sound of long arrows breaking through the air was endless, flying into the Funan army. The Funan soldiers had no protective device in the first place. Even now, they were almost taken off. Most of the shields were carried on their backs. In the face of the sharp arrows, they had no better way except to open their eyes and hold their heads in vain. .

The unexpected rain of arrows caused a lot of casualties. The flying arrows penetrated the black and thin chest of the Funan people and burst out a string of blood beads. The injured soldiers screamed bitterly. Some of them were angry on the spot, but more of them were injured but did not die. They threw away their weapons. They fell to the ground and howled, rolling with dirt, mud and blood and sweat, and soon turned them into mud monkeys.

The Wu army was good at the first attack. After running fifty steps forward, the crossbowman stood on the spot and shot crazily, while the soldiers with knives and halberd lined up in a column and fished out of the gap between the archers and straight to the Funan rear, which had been disrupted. In the face of the fallen Funan people, they did not have any compassion at all. They raised the weapons in their hands and killed them to their heart's content. While cutting down the Funan soldiers they met, they pushed forward at the fastest speed. At the same time, they roared angrily and spread their fear to the depths of the army.

Lv Dai roared in with the guard camp. Wherever the sword went, blood flew everywhere. In a moment, he beheaded three people in a row. The violent appearance of the fierce battle made people not expect that he was over sixty years old. It has been almost a year since Lv Dai arrived in the south. This battle has been very aggrieved. First, he was secretly attacked by the district company. Although he occupied Xijuan City, he could only take the initiative to retreat in the end, and could only wait for Sun Deng to come to the rescue. Lv Dai is an old minister of Jiangdong. Since he took the initiative to join Sun Quan, he has fought countless battles, but he has never been so aggrieved. The dignified veteran could only give up his military power in the end. It was a great insult to Lv Dai to see Zhuge Ke, a young man with a hairless mouth, commanding the battle. This time, Zhuge Ke put the most elite soldiers in the Wu army under his command and asked him to launch the first wave of attacks. This is a good opportunity for him to revenge. If he can't seize this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jiangdong in the future.

So as soon as he launched the attack, Lv Dai went all out at all costs. It was very hot, and he was sweating all over his arms. What's more, now he still had to wear a full set of clothes to fight. The sweat had already soaked his robe, all of which were stuck to his body. Even the sound of water could be heard in his boots. His feet seemed to be stepped on the water, but Lv Dai ignored it at all. He held his sword and rushed with his personal guards. Kill in the front, and use the greatest strength to order the whole army to move forward, move forward, and then move forward.

Zhuge Ke did not rush to the front. He commanded the crossbowman to advance in an orderly manner and cover Lv Dai's charge at the most appropriate distance. Although he wanted to show his bravery in person, he knew that it was more important to give Lv Dai a chance to revenge at this time than to fight himself. What's more, he is now the commander-in-chief of the whole army. He should pay attention to the development of the whole war situation, rather than killing a few Funan soldiers.

Under the command of Zhuge Ke and the impact of Lv Dai, the rear array of Funan collapsed after only supporting a cup of tea kung fu. The souls of the Funan soldiers who were not shot and hacked were scattered. They were driven forward by Lv Dai and rushed straight to the Chinese army. Even the heavy soldiers threw down the grain truck and ran with the flow of people.

The Chinese army was not easy. Fan Chang, who was immersed in his dream of making contributions, was attacked by arrows on both sides before he recovered from the strange disappearance of the war elephant. Although he was in the Chinese army, the bow crossbow of the State of Wu could not threaten him at all, but the fear of falling into the ambush circle still made Fan Chang's mind blank for a while. The generals on the left and right sides were in a hurry and asked for action, while Fan Chang stood on the back of the war elephant and was stunned. After a while, he woke up and knew that the matter of building a career should be put back and solve the predicament in front of him first.

Fan Chang looked around. The front army was already in chaos, and the back army was also in chaos. The left and right sides were attacked by the other side's bows, surrounded on all sides. It looked very dangerous, but he was not worried. First of all, he knew that the troops were superior. The army of the State of Wu was surrounded on all sides. It seemed that he wanted to fight all of them, but in fact, he committed the problem of snakes trying to swallow elephants. As long as he gathered the army in one place, it was impossible for the Wu army to swallow him.

"Drumming, shrinking formation." Fan Chang waved his hand and gave the order: "The war elephants stop and send pawns to explore the way."

The drums exploded, and the panicked Funan soldiers retreated slowly under the command of the drums. They stood in the front and raised their shields to cover the archers to fight back. They just withdrew 30 steps away. They found that Wu Jun was only shooting in the distance and did not chase them to fight. The originally chaotic Funan soldiers After the initial fear, they slowly calmed down. They stood on all sides and paid vigilant attention to the enemy on the opposite side. Only the rear army shouted to kill, but Lv Dai had defeated the rear army and was rushing the rear army to attack Fan's middle army.

Fan Chang saw that the rear army had collapsed, and almost all the heavy grain was lost, which became the booty of the Wu army. He was so angry that he ordered the guard camp to stop in front of the defeated soldiers, waved the sword in his hand, and killed hundreds of defeated soldiers in one breath. Only then did he finally stop the disorderly escape of the defeated soldiers and let them Pass through the gap between the two armies to avoid disrupting the Chinese army.

Thirty war elephants lined up and roared in unison at Lv Dai, who rushed over. The low elephant roar reminded Lv Dai that he quickly ordered to beat the drums to reorganize the team. The armored soldiers who raised the shields came forward to form a horizontal team. More than a hundred shields painted with flames were lined up, like a wall of fire, with some momentum under the warm words. At the same time, more than 3,000 morale soldiers stamped in unison:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The roar was like thunder, suddenly overshadowing the roar of the war elephant, suppressing the momentum of the Funan army. The war elephants who were slowly moving forward became a little restless. Several war elephants even stopped and intended to go back. Even if the elephant soldiers on their backs fought desperately, they refused to take another step forward. Although the soldiers knew that the flames on the shields were fake, the war elephants did not have such a high IQ. From afar, the fire wall composed of these shields was no different from the real one. The heavenly surname of fear of fire made them afraid, not to mention the loud cheer caused by Wu Jun's deliberate shouting.

Lv Dai saw the hesitation of the war elephant and was overjoyed. What he was most worried about was the war elephant of the Funan people. Zhuge Ke dug a long pit in the shape of a concave shape. There were pits on the front, left and right sides of the Funan people. He was not afraid of the impact of the war elephant, but there was no pit in the rear. Because of this, Zhuge Ke arranged 8,000 most elite soldiers in the back. Fang. However, in the face of the impact of the war elephant, Lv Dai is not sure whether the shields prepared by Zhuge Ke can work. In case the war elephant does not eat this at all and rushes over directly, he will face heavy casualties and may even be defeated.

Seeing that the shield had the expected effect, Lv Dai finally let go of his mind. He continued to encourage again. On the one hand, he ordered the armorers to hold up the shields and slowly move forward, and shake the shield from time to time to make the flames look more realistic. On the other hand, he ordered more than 200 soldiers holding gongs to come forward with an order and hit the gong at the same time.

"kuang kuang kuang kuang...kuang kuang kuang..."

The sharp explosion of the gong was sudden and rapid. The war elephant, which was already a little uneasy, suddenly heard such a harsh sound and could no longer keep calm. First, the two war elephants suddenly made a long sound. They stood up, threw down the soldiers on their backs, and then turned around and ran away. Then, more war elephants began to fall. The head.

"Rand up!" Lv Dai was ecstatic. The method prepared by Zhuge Ke really worked. If he could drive these war elephants to attack the Chinese army of the Funan people, the effect would be much more powerful than the rear army of the Funan people. He grabbed the favorable fighter, hit the iron while it was hot, ordered the armored soldiers in front of him to speed up, and at the same time used the final killing move.

Rocket!

More than 300 crossbows pulled the bow, put on the rocket that had been prepared for a long time, lit the ignition object tied to the arrow shaft, and then shot at the war elephant. Although it is impossible for these arrows to shoot these war elephants, the fire is real, and there is oil in the ignition. As long as the war elephant is shot, the fire will stick to it and burn, which is enough to make the war elephants confused.

The rocket roared away, and almost none of the thirty war elephants were spared. One or two rockets were won, and more were seven or eight rockets. The worst was hit by more than a dozen. The flames were burning, and the skin and flesh of the war elephants were burning. The severe pain made the war elephants completely lose their minds. They were no longer under control. They turned around and spread their hooves. Run away.

Fire-shaped shields, sharp gongs, and fake rockets finally defeated the war elephants and turned the biggest reliance of the Funan people into their nightmare. Looking at the Funan army rushing to pieces by the crazy war elephants, Lv Dai laughed loudly, stretched out his hand with beads of sweat all over his face, and roared: "charge--"

Wu's military morale is like a rainbow. Although they are all sweaty and like they have just come up from the water, they are excited. If Lv Dai hadn't restrained them to maintain their formation, they would have been eager to catch up and cut them. The Funan people are about to collapse. This is the best time to kill people. If the first battle is successful, the rich reward is expected. More importantly, if this battle can completely annihire the Funan people, the damn war will be over, and there is no need to fight against such a poisonous sun.

The roar was like thunder, with the explosion of gongs, and the galloping rockets drove the war elephants and Funan soldiers to swarm forward, breaking through the obstacles and rushing straight to Fan's middle army. The screams of the soldiers and the roar of the war elephants echoed each other, spreading waves of fear deeper.

Although Fan Chang tried his best, he still couldn't control the defeat of the army. In particular, the 30-haired crazy war elephant made him helpless. Funan soldiers have always been in awe of the power of the war elephant. Once these powerful weapons that they defeated the enemy turned against each other, their lethality was also amazing. In the impact of the war elephant In front of him, Funan soldiers could no longer keep calm, and finally collapsed like an embankment washed away by the flood.

The collapse quickly spread from the back to the Chinese army, and then to the front. The front army, who was planning to send soldiers to explore the way, heard the chaos behind them and panicked. The generals quickly sounded the drums for instructions, but at this time, Fan Chang couldn't help but be defeated. There was no intention to order, and the generals who could not get instructions. They could only fight separately. After a short hesitation, they began to run forward.

The soldiers rushed to the deep pit dug by the people of Wu like a tide. The soldiers in front of them passed through the deep pit smoothly, but the back was not so lucky. After countless foot trampling, the well-hidden deep pit began to reveal a dark face, especially Those soldiers who ran with the war elephants watched the war elephant step on the cover of the pit and fall into the pit, but they could not stop. They were pushed by their companions behind them and fell into the pit inadvertiblely. Then they were trampled by the people who fell in, pressed down, and could no longer turn over.

At this time, there is not much difference between being trampled or by war elephants. Anyway, the result of waiting for them is the same.

The deep ditch, which was two feet wide and ten feet deep, was quickly filled in a lot. Then the Funan soldiers cheered and ran forward across the deep ditch with the body of their companions or war elephants. The soldiers behind them were as follows the same and tried to run to the section that had been filled in. The limited width was not enough to let too many people pass through. From time to time, there were people. Being squeezed into the pit and slowly filling in, it has become a channel for successors to survive. And those unlucky soldiers simply ran and tried to jump over the deep pit. It was not impossible to jump two feet wide, but how could you accelerate calmly in the chaotic army, or use the spear in your hand as support? Most of the soldiers fell down, and only a few lucky people escaped.

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

Under the order of Sun Shangxiang, the twenty crossbows began to roar, and the continuous rain of arrows rushed to the tide of Funan soldiers. The Funan soldiers couldn't dodge and were shot to the ground one after another. Only a few of them were really lucky enough to rush to the front of the battle. They were greeted by the Wu soldiers who danced the sword and easily chopped in front of the battle.

However, Funan soldiers have no way to escape. Knowing that there is a dead end in front of them, they can only move forward bravely. There is still a glimmer of life. It is impossible to turn back. Tens of thousands of people and the crowd formed by the already uncontrolled war elephants can't be stopped by one or two people at all. Not to mention turning back, it is slow. All at once, it is possible to be trampled to death by the people or elephants behind.

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

Funan soldiers were forced into a desperate situation. They were crazy. They crossed the deep pit one after another, waving swords and shields, and launched waves of shocks against the Wu soldiers who stood on their way to life. As the first deep pit was filled, more and more Funan soldiers rushed through the deep pit and the slaughter of the arrow array. There were more and more soldiers rushing to the front of the Wu army. The blocked Wu soldiers gradually couldn't resist, and the Funan soldiers who were killed and retreated step by step.

"Withdraw!" At Sun Shangxiang's order, the crossbowmen shot empty arrows, then poured oil on the crossbow, lit a fire, turned around and ran away.

The pressure in front of the Funan people was relieved, cheered in unison, and then caught up. Unfortunately, their good luck did not last long, but in fifty steps, they encountered a batch of crossbow interception again, and in front of the crossbow, there was also a pit two feet wide and a foot deep.

The same tragedy was staged again. The soldiers rushing to the front were shot by crossbows and killed by the soldiers of the State of Wu who were waiting for work. The soldiers and war elephants behind fell into the pit one after another and became stepping stones for others. It was not until the pit was filled and the Funan soldiers fled again. Smooth at once.

The Funan Army was blocked in this concave position, and 30,000 people were squeezed into a group. They had nothing to do except fill the pit with their lives. Although they knew that turning backwards was the way to live, the abominable people of Wu blocked behind them, driving their war elephants forward and squeezing forward without leaving them a glimmer of life. The people of Funan complain incessantly. At this time, no one can think about how to solve such a problem. They only run forward, try not to be pushed into the pit by others, not to be trampled by the running war elephant, and not to be a stepping stone for others' escape. As for how to solve the current dilemma, it is not what they can consider. Yes.

Fan Chang, who should consider this problem, was already stupid. He rode on the back of the war elephant and looked at the army that had been in chaos. He wanted to cry but not. At this point, he could no longer control the army. Everyone was running for his life, and no one was in the mood to listen to his orders.

And he can't think of any way to save his army. The only way seems to be to move forward, move forward, and then move forward, and use human lives to fill the pits dug by the people of the State of Wu. He has more than 30,000 people. If the people of the State of Wu have not dug enough pits, they can more or less escape from some people and retain a little vitality. If the people of the State of Wu dig If there are enough pits, then he will only have a dead end.

Fan Chang didn't have many choices, so he could only follow the defeated soldiers forward.

After giving up the third pit, the Wu soldiers under Chen Shi's command had been more than half injured and were unable to fight again. They were forced to retreat repeatedly by the Funan soldiers who had fallen into madness. Although the Funan soldiers were defeated, and most of them did not even have weapons, they were stimulated by the desire to survive. They rushed to the soldiers of the State of Wu regardless. Even if they had been hit by an arrow and injured, they still went forward desperately. They cut with knives, stabbed with spears, hit with their bodies, and hugged Wu, who blocked their way. National soldiers, bite with their mouths and hands, use all their potentials to fight for their own way of life.

Wu's soldiers were suppressed by their madness. Facing their ferocious faces, their military hearts began to shake, and the formation began to loosen. They were shaky and collapsing by the Funan soldiers.

"Aunt, sister-in-law, Captain Chen can't stand it anymore." Sun Luban jumped and pointed to Chen Shi, who was surrounded by the Funan people, and shouted.

Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Big Tiger, do you want to fight?"

"I want to!" Sun Luban's voice trembled with excitement, and he answered loudly without thinking.

"Thousands of soldiers, use soldiers for a while, I will give you this opportunity today. You take some people to help your brother fight this battle." Sun Shangxiang turned around and answered, "Fangqing, you take 200 people to protect the princess."

"Oh." Bai Yu answered loudly and turned around and led 200 people to stand behind Sun Luban. With a roar, the flying tiger camp flag flew in the wind. Sun Luban suddenly felt a stream of blood surging on her head, and her little face turned red. She stood in front of the Flying Tiger Camp, drew her knife and shouted, "Flying Tiger!"

"Flying Tiger! Flying Tiger!" Two hundred female soldiers shouted in unison, raised their knives out of the sheath, and a cold light flashed, which was very powerful.

Guan Feng turned around and said, "Ding Feng, protect the princess and attack with the Flying Tiger Camp."

"Oh." Ding Feng responded loudly, waved his hand, and a thousand destroyers were out of the camp. Ding Feng raised his sword, and a thousand soldiers of the destruction camp stamped their feet and shouted, "Destroy the front, destroy the front!" Compared with the roar of a little feminine spirit in the power of the flying tiger camp, the roar of the destructive camp is full of masculinity, which makes people's blood boil.

"Kill--" Sun Luban's voice changed, and he began to run under the protection of Ding Feng and Bai An. They quickly opened a bloody road and rushed to Chen Shi. Sun Lu's squad leader flashed his knife and stabbed a Funan soldier in front of Chen Shi. The blood surged and sprayed her on the face. Smelling the hot smell of blood, Sun Luban was even more excited and inexplicably. With a delicate shout, he took two steps forward. The long knife opened a sword and smashed it fiercely on the neck of another Funan soldier. He dragged it hard, and the handle of the knife had hit the face of another enemy fiercely.

Chen Shi looked at the petite but brave little general in surprise. After a moment, he came to his senses. He raised his knife and shouted, "The princess is powerful!"
