Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Before the snake king Jiyuanjia died in battle, the local soldiers in the village retreated one after another. This Snake Village is known for its use of venomous snakes, and Snake King Ji Yuanjia is also a famous leader of the barbarian nation. The Snake King was killed in battle and his morale was greatly reduced. The local soldiers in the village retreated behind Muzha, hoping to rely on Muzha to stop the Sui army.

Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang led the soldiers of the former army to storm Muzha. The local soldiers dropped small framed snakes in the stronghold to intimidate the Sui soldiers. Unexpectedly, the Sui soldiers, who were full of realgar smell, were not afraid, and the smoked poisonous snakes did not dare to approach.

The Sui soldiers in the rear team had already prepared firebolts and arrows, set up bows and arrows, and set fire to the wooden fence building the stronghold. Poisonous snakes are three points more afraid of fire than realgar. Little snakes avoid the source of fire and rush into the mountains.

The local soldiers in Panshe Village, seeing the group of snakes unable to stop them, abandoned their helmets and armor, abandoned the village, and fled for their lives. Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang set fire to Panshe Village.

In a fierce fire, Panshe Village was instantly reduced to ashes. The soldiers were killed and injured countless times. The poisonous snakes thrown scattered and slinked away. The large and small snakes still in the basket were cooked and slaughtered by the Sui army. It can be said that the battle is raging with raging flames, and people and snakes are dancing and trying to escape through the door.

The thoughts are gone and the ashes are gone, and the ambition is high after breaking through the barbaric country.

Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang led their troops to take advantage of the victory and crossed the Dahuang Mountains. A river appeared in front of them. Sun Pingzhang, the Han genius doctor, looked at the roaring river, stroked his beard and said:"This river is called the Jali River. If you go west along the river, you will This is the city of Jiaozhi."

Liu Fang said:"Thanks to Mr. Sun, he gave me guidance along the way. I would like to worship you as a military advisor and go to Jiaozhi together. When the success is achieved, I will recommend it to the emperor."

Sun Pingzhang thanked him and said,"How dare you? The old man is just a doctor who treats diseases. He is not proficient in the art of war and tactics, so how can he be qualified to serve as a military advisor."

Liu Fang said:"Sir, if you don't want to be an official, I can't force you. It's just a remote southern country, and there are dangers along the way. Without you, this would be impossible. Will there be many difficulties along the way?"

Sun Pingzhang said:"Although the southern barbarians are good at using treacherous and evil techniques, the power of the Sui Dynasty is invincible. The local Han people will naturally support and help. Why worry about where the people's hearts are?"

Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang listened. Yes, he nodded in agreement, thanked Sun Pingzhang, and led his troops to the expedition. The army was divided into two groups, marching by land and water, along the Jali River, all the way westward, towards Jiaozhi City.

The Sui army marched into Linyi in a large scale. It was smooth sailing and unstoppable. When Jiaozhi, the capital of Linyi Kingdom, received the news, the whole city was frightened and people were panic-stricken.

The imperial palace of Linyi Kingdom in Jiaozhi City is called Nansheng Palace. The lights inside the palace are dim, lifeless, and the atmosphere is solemn. The king of Linyi Kingdom, named Fanzhi, stands in front of the main hall, looking helplessly at the setting sun, anxiously thinking about strategies to defend against the enemy.

The great national advisor of Linyi State was named Li Ci. Seeing that Fanzhi was worried, he said:"Your Majesty, the enemy is at hand, and there are no dangers along the Jili River. We need to mobilize our troops immediately to stop the Sui army."

Fanzhi put his hands behind his back. Said:"I thought that Lin Yi was far away in South Vietnam. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. Yang Guang, the leader of the Sui Dynasty, was beyond his reach. I didn't expect that the local soldiers in Panshe Village only persisted for a few days. The whole army was wiped out and burned to the ground."

Fanzhi turned and looked at Lin Yiguo. All the civil and military officers were at their wits' end. Only Li Ci, the national counselor, said:"Now that the Sui army is overwhelming, your majesty might as well sacrifice the most important weapon to suppress the country and resist the Sui army."

Fan Zhi said:"What heavy weapon is the national master referring to?"

"Liuzhao war elephant. Fanzhi was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked with a tense face:"The poisonous snake can't stop it, so what chance does the Liuzhao war elephant have of winning?""

Li Ci said:"Your Majesty, although there are experts in our country who are good at using venomous snakes, and those in the Central Plains also have experts who are proficient in raising snakes, but the Sui Dynasty is rich in resources, but no one has seen war elephants. If the army is not trampled to death, it will be scared to death."

After hearing these words, Fanzhi felt that the Liuzhao War Elephant under his command was unique, so he immediately issued an order and ordered the national advisor Li Ci to command the Liuzhao War Elephant to fight against the Sui army. The so-called Liuzhao War Elephant is also called the Nanman War Elephant. , refers to the Asian elephants on the border of Yunnan. The local tribes are divided into six major tribes, namely, Meng Junzhao, Yuexi Zhao, Langqiong Zhao, Weixui Zhao, Shi Langzhao, and Mengshe Zhao. Because Linyi Kingdom and the Six Kingdoms The imperial edict was approaching, so they traded elephants as the sacred beasts of Linyi.

The Sui army approached the Jili River, and on the west bank, a camp camp set up by Linyi native soldiers could be vaguely seen. The two armies faced each other across the river. Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang led 15,000 soldiers to camp on the east bank of the Jiali River. At this time, Li Ci led his troops to set up fences on the west bank of the river and deployed troops to fight.

Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang led several lieutenants to watch from across the river. He was secretly happy and said:"I looked at the barbarian army camp. It was invisible and without formations. The soldiers and generals were mixed together and dressed in different clothes. They must be a mob.""

Everyone looked at it from a distance, and it was indeed the case. Murong Sanzang said:"The miasma in the Jali River has come and gone in the past few days. Why not take advantage of the miasma on the river to use it as a cover and cross the river in a warship to scare the barbarians."

Liu Fang said:"I think back to that time, when Zhuge Kongming captured Meng Huo seven times, he was hit by miasma. How could he cross the river with the help of miasma?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The southern barbarian miasma is so delicious. It has its own detoxifying effect. I have already ordered people to collect medicinal herbs along the way in case of emergency."

"Well, that's very good, just follow General Murong's strategy. Liu Fang said:"Send the order to the boat master to prepare to cross the river." Prepare more flags, gongs and drums. When you get close to the river, you can raise the flags and beat the drums to create a great momentum and catch you off guard."

"Yes!"

The order was passed down. When the miasma gathered on the river the next day, the rafts built by the Sui army overnight had already been lined up along the river, and the soldiers boarded the boats one after another. Taking advantage of the miasma on the river, the Sui army secretly crossed the river with a piece of grass in their mouths. These native soldiers on the west bank were all barbarian natives recruited by the national counselor Li Ci to form native soldiers and stationed troops on the west bank of the Jarli River. The native soldiers were lazy and did not have much vigilance to defend the west bank. Seeing the Sui army approaching the west bank of the Jarli River, they suddenly There was a lot of movement on the river, the flags covered the sun, the drums shook the sky, and warships, large and small, lined up in a row, advancing together, menacingly. The barbarian natives of the small country of Linyi had never seen such a formation before. They were shouting and helpless. Murong Sanzang Brandishing a big gun, he shouted loudly from the bow:"Crossing the river to kill the enemy is all today, come with me!"

Murong Sanzang was the first to jump off the ship, followed by all the soldiers behind him. They rushed out together and rushed towards the enemy camp. The war drums of each ferry were thundering, and the Sui army's shouts of killing were shocking. The southern barbarian soldiers on the shore were dumbfounded. The Sui soldiers were killed. The army was scattered in pieces. After a short battle, they were already frightened. They were defeated in the first battle. The native soldiers were defeated. They abandoned the camp and baggage and fled. This is: the miasma is like a fog, and the undercurrent is rippling in the river..

The sea dragon came out of the water and crossed the embankment, and the fierce bird of prey crossed the river and faced the wind. Murong Sanzang led his troops to make a surprise attack, took the lead, and won the victory. Liu Fang led his troops to land one after another, and captured countless local soldiers' baggage, and then led his troops eastward to pursue the victory.

After walking for more than 20 miles, the veteran Murong Sanzang said:"Linyi has a complex terrain with thick forests and grass. It has the right time and place. However, the barbarian soldiers were defeated in one battle and disappeared, fearing that there might be an ambush."

"The terrain in South Vietnam is complicated. It is better to form a long snake formation and drive straight in to avoid being trapped."

"What is said is absolutely true.

Murong Sanzang immediately shouted the order:"The order was changed to a long snake formation, and we drove straight in.""

When the military order was passed, most of the following troops stopped and waited on the spot, one by one, to form a long snake formation. Just as the formation was changing, several muffled sounds suddenly came from the distance.

Liu Fang asked:"Is there a cow in the forest?"

"So dull, not like a cow."

While looking around, he suddenly saw a few small trees in the distance falling down, and the ground seemed to be shaking. Suddenly he saw several monsters emerging from the distance, which was shocking. Liu Fang exclaimed:"What is this? ?"

A soldier familiar with the South Vietnamese barbarian gang said:"The giant elephant of the South Vietnamese!"

Elephants were rare giant beasts in ancient times. Most people in the Sui army had never seen this giant beast and were so frightened that they were at a loss. Only dozens of war elephants of different sizes were seen, trembling. , when I was frightened, I saw several war elephants on both sides, and the local soldiers of Linyi were following closely behind the elephants. Murong Sanzang said:"This elephant is very difficult for a human to defeat. We should retreat quickly and make a good strategy.""

Liu Fang immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, and the entire army retreated. Not far away, they saw that the retreat was blocked by war elephants. Everyone was frightened and helpless. When they were panicking, Murong Sanzang shouted:"The giant beasts may not know it. People, be faster than the soldiers fighting in melee, and then try to break out! Liu

Fang waved his sword and shouted:"Although the war elephant is fierce, its movements are slow. Come with me quickly.""

The officers and soldiers of the Sui army scattered in all directions, rushed out of the encirclement together, walked around behind the elephant, and fought in a melee with the soldiers who were following them. There were shouts of killing everywhere, and the roar of the elephant was shocking, but the elephant could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy for a while, so it had to circle back and forth.

Fortunately, The limited number of war elephants forced Liu Fang and Murong Sanzang to fight their way back and retreat. After retreating for more than ten miles, they saw a forest in front of them. The trees were so thick that it was difficult for the war elephants to break them. Liu Fang said:"In the woods ahead, the trees are thick and strong. You can stop the war elephant and quickly go to the forest to rest."

Retreating to this forest, Murong Sanzang counted the men and horses and said to Liu Fang:"We have lost many men and horses in this battle. I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against the war elephants.

After suffering a defeat, Liu Fang asked in frustration:"The war elephant is huge. What can we do? Does General Murong have any good strategies?"

Murong Sanzang looked around and said:"As a general, although war elephants are huge, they are not as fast as horses and are huge and bulky." It is better to dig a deep trap, trick them into falling into the pit, and then shoot them with random arrows. Liu

Fang heard this plan and said happily:"It's wonderful. Horses can be frightened by arrows. I think war elephants can also be frightened.""

Murong Sanzang said:"The forest here has big and strong trees. Set up a pit nearby. You can attack this forest when you advance, and you can defend it when you retreat."

"According to the general's plan, a pit three feet deep was dug next to the forest."The two of them had reached a consensus, and then they ordered all the soldiers to dig pits and set up ambushes, and prepare their bows and crossbows to prepare for a decisive battle with the war elephants. The terrain in South Vietnam was changeable, and weeds and leaves were everywhere. Murong Sanzang sent his soldiers to dig three feet deep. The pit, branches, leaves, weeds, mud and slurry covered the ground, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false. Liu Fang then cut down wood to make arrows, prepared crossbows, and set up an ambush around the pit to lure the enemy into ambush. It can be said that he dug a deep pit to capture him. Tigers and leopards spread fragrant bait to catch golden turtles.

The ground sank nine feet to kill the mythical beast, and it was a mistake to discipline the southern barbarians. The great national master Li Ci used war elephants, and after his first victory, he was very proud and arrogant. He and his lieutenants The animal trainers were sitting around the Chinese army's tent, lighting bonfires, cutting meat and drinking wine together, and were having a great time.

A soldier hurried in and said,"Report to the Grand Master, the Sui soldiers are back again." Li

Ci laughed loudly, threw a piece of meat on the table, and said:"Humph, the Sui army overestimated their capabilities, suffered losses in the first battle, and dared to come back to die again. I will make sure they never come back.""

The great national advisor Li Ci ordered the troops and horses, gathered the war elephants, and gave an order. The local soldiers came out of the camp to fight with a huge force. The momentum was menacing and frightening.

It was Murong Sanzang who led the Sui soldiers. It was seen that the soldiers and horses of Lin Yi State arrived first. The troops were horse infantry. Murong Sanzang said:"The infantry is holding down the formation, and the cavalry will follow me."

Murong Sanzang led the cavalry and charged out. Although the soldiers had horses, they were no match for the Sui army. They were beaten to pieces in a single fight and scattered in defeat. As soon as the soldiers retreated, they saw dozens of war elephants roaring. came and went straight to the front of the Sui army's formation. Murong Sanzang shouted:"The war elephant is coming, retreat quickly."

The Sui army originally wanted to lure out the war elephants, and their retreat was already expected, and they retreated towards the dense forest.

At this time, Liu Fang was well prepared and ordered all the troops to ambush the surrounding areas. He personally led a group of soldiers and horses, beating drums and waving flags. Feigning momentum.

Li Ci led his army to arrive and saw that the Sui soldiers were in the same formation as before. He was overjoyed and sent an order:"I watched the Sui soldiers from a distance. The formation was still the same, but it was just like this. An order was given to the war elephants to charge, and in one go, I personally suppressed the formation."

With an order, the three armies marched out. Under the cover of the war elephants, 20,000 soldiers from Linyi State rushed out one after another, wielding their swords and swords. Murong Sanzang had already laid a trap, just waiting for the barbarian soldiers to fall into his trap. Sure enough, the war elephants rushed towards him. With heavy steps, he kicked off his feet and fell into a deep pit. The pit was two or three feet deep. Unexpectedly, the war elephant was heavy and fell into the pit. No matter how hard it struggled, it was difficult to escape.

When the war elephant was in a dilemma, Murong Sanzang turned the horse's head and ordered the bow and arrow. Light the fire, and the grease-stained arrowheads, with flames, are released. There is only a buzzing sound, and the arrows and crossbows are fired. A random arrow, and the war elephant has nowhere to hide. No matter how ferocious the beast is, it is not fireproof. , although the elephant could not be shot through, the flames burned, causing the war elephants behind to turn around and run around. On the contrary, the barbarian soldiers following behind were unable to dodge, and they were trampled like mud, causing countless casualties.

Liu Fang saw that the war elephants and barbarian soldiers were fighting each other. Trampled, the formation was in chaos, and the advance and retreat were disordered. Liu Fang shouted to his soldiers and horses:"Barbarians and mammoths, nothing more than that, follow me and kill!""

I saw that the morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers and horses came out. This time, the barbarian soldiers and elephants were killed. There was no place to hide. The great national counselor Li Ci was inattentive and his horse was knocked down by the elephant. He fell to the ground and was trampled to death by the chaos..

The soldiers of Linyi were defeated, the Sui army was victorious, and as many as ten thousand barbarians were captured. This is it: tons of war elephants shake the world, and the wind blows when they fall to the ground, frightening the soul.

Mammoths are mercilessly buried in ravines, and powerful crossbows are thrown away. Jiantun.
