The two sides fought back and forth for more than fifty rounds. Chu Jie was accidentally hit by a mace on the horse's back. He sat down and the horse stumbled to the ground. Chu Jie was unable to dodge, and one of his legs was pinned under the horse.
, there was just a crunching sound, and the bone was crushed, causing him to scream in pain. The Wuhuan general took the opportunity to kill Chu Jie, but Guancheng's resistance gradually failed, and Chu Jie was finally hit with a hammer by the Wuhuan people.
Broken head.
Brains, blood, and kernels flew all over the floor.
Guancheng was extremely angry and increased his strength by 30%, but he still couldn't break through the opponent's heavy armor with one against two. Zhang Xiaowu quickly asked for gold to withdraw his troops, and Guancheng had no choice but to withdraw. General Wuhuan was wearing heavy armor and could not catch up, so he had to
Watching their opponents flee back, they deliberately laughed and insulted the Han army.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaowu sent someone to bring Chu Jie's body back. After three battles, Wu Huan lost two people, and the Han army also lost a strong general, and now the two sides are in a draw.
Hu Li shouted: "Are these people wearing bastard shells to fight?"
Wang Yijin also said: "It's not fair, it's not fair."
"There is no fairness in war. Do you think you can play chess?" Hu Li joked.
"This is probably the Wuhuan Black Iron Armor." Ruan Qingwen identified it carefully and said helplessly, "The Wuhuan people only have thirteen pairs of Black Iron Armor. I didn't expect to see two at once today. Chu Jie..."
Zhang Xiaowu sighed, looked at Guancheng who was holding the headless corpse and crying bitterly, and ordered the people around him: "Bury Colonel Chu with a generous burial."
"Here."
Zhang Xiaowu looked at everyone and said solemnly: "This battle must be won, and I will go out next." The generals quickly persuaded them to stay, Zhang Xiaowu patted the saddle and said: "I have made up my mind, I will fight in the next battle."
Wuhuan's victory in this battle naturally inspired the army. The horns sounded loudly, and the Wuhuan sergeants shouted various weird tones to celebrate. The two Wuhuan generals who won the victory were also praised by everyone, even the Wuhuan King Wu Ri
Uri Lai greeted him personally, but the second general didn't seem to appreciate it. He made a hug and stepped back. Uri Lai was very embarrassed.
In fact, because Uri Lai insisted on going south, the morale of the army was turbulent. Not all Wuhuan people were willing to continue the war. The civil servants, mainly Wuerkanha, strongly opposed the move south, because Wuerkanha was a member of the Wuhuan people.
He was a rare great scholar in Huan and was supported by his generals.
Urkanha believed that the Wuhuan army had achieved its strategic goal by attacking the Han army and occupying the Yaojin Granary, and there was no need to make a big move southward. Especially since Mucheng was close to Lianglang Pass and far away from the Yaojin Granary, even if it was occupied, it would be difficult to hold on.
When Lianglangguan sent troops to reach Mucheng, the infantry only needed to walk for two days and one night, and the cavalry only needed one day. However, from the Yaojin Granary to Mucheng, the infantry had to walk for at least ten days, and the cavalry also needed to walk for seven days. Wuhuan's army was completely
There is no need or urgency to occupy.
But Uri Lai was dazzled by the victory. He defied all opinions and ordered a fierce attack on Jincheng. He conquered Jincheng in one fell swoop and won the support of the generals. How could he not take the opportunity to expand his influence in the army. In his opinion, he must expand
The military power expands its influence and he will inherit the position of Khan in the future, forcing his brother to pass the position of Khan to him instead of his son standing upright.
In Wuri Lai's view, the significance of occupying Wooden City is far greater than the actual benefits. Once Wooden City is captured, it means that the entire Saibei Wasteland will be annexed by Wuhuan, and the territory of Wuhuan Empire will be expanded by half. This is unprecedented and has never been done before.
Merit is not something that everyone can achieve
The Wuhuan Empire has grown from a small tribe on the banks of the Don River a thousand years ago to the present day. Fifty generations of the Wuhuan family have expanded their territory to what it is today, and it took only three years for him, the Wuri Lai, to
Having expanded half of the territory of the original empire, how can we give up this honor?
The two black-armored generals were twin brothers named Sardin and Sarsu. They trusted the great scholar Urkanha very much. After listening to Urkanha's analysis of the pros and cons of the war, they decided to support the decision not to go south. However, the military order was as follows:
Mountain, even if they do not support the attack on this worthless wooden city in their hearts, they must obey the orders of King Wuhuan, so that they are neither cold nor hot to King Wuhuan, and let Wuri Lai
So embarrassing.
Urkanha's prevention did not work, but the warning of the plague did. Now among the 100,000 troops heading south, one-fifth of the Wuhuan soldiers were also affected by the plague and lost their combat effectiveness. Urkanha attached great importance to it.
The plague, but Wuri Lai did not take it seriously. He declared: "No one knows the plague better than me. This is just a small cold. It will pass in the past. There is no need to care about it. After September, the plague will be magical."
will disappear automatically."
However, after September, the plague in the Wuhuan formation not only did not disappear, but intensified, growing from the initial dozen people to more than 20,000 people, seriously damaging the morale of the army.
"No one understands the plague better than me." Urkanha sneered and repeated Uri Lai's ridiculous words. He looked at the Wuhuan soldiers who were suffering from the plague with pity and said sadly in his heart: "For your own political purposes, you ignore the people of the country.
Life or death, it's time for you to take a rest."
Maybe it was the team battle that gave the Wuhuan people hope. Wuri Lai immediately ordered his men and the remaining three generals to go out together. If they won, they would have a great victory. If they failed, they would be given 10,000 plague-infected prisoners.
That's all.
In fact, Wuri Lai regretted it a long time ago. He regretted it after passing the ruins of Roland, not because he was exhausted from the expedition, but because he ignored the seriousness of the plague. The plague that he kept calling Xiaofenghan, after being infected
First came cough, fever, runny nose
, followed by shortness of breath, weakness, headache, and in more serious cases, loss of smell and taste, general fatigue, and stars appearing in front of the eyes from time to time. In the later stages, people begin to vomit blood, hesitate, feel chills all over, and often die overnight.
A lot of people died.
But the most frightening thing is that people who have contracted this plague are always conscious. From onset to death, patients are always clearly aware of the entire process of their illness until death. This plague makes people coldly feel that a person's journey from illness to death is clear.
The whole process of death, seeing oneself from birth to death, is so cruel.
Although Uri Lai regretted it in his heart, he still pretended to be very calm on the surface, and often said to his subordinates: "Plague is a disease that only people with yellow skin can get. Our skin is white, so we will not get this disease."
This is a conspiracy, a real conspiracy against us, and we want to destroy them."
However, more and more people are questioning him and opposing him, so that today Wuri Lai seems a bit crazy. Everyone just abides by the laws of the empire and obeys his orders, but in their hearts, many people despise his madness and
Arrogant. Wu Ri Lai is no longer the imperial crocodile who immediately went to conquer the southern continent ten years ago. Now he just looks extremely vicious.
At this time, the Wuhuan young general came to send a message again and said: "Now that the two sides are tied, isn't it boring? Why don't we send out three generals, you send out three generals, and the three generals and three generals fight in a melee, and the one who wins in the end wins.
how?"
Seeing that the two sides were tied, Zhang Xiaowu knew that this battle would be won, so he sneered and said: "That's exactly what I meant." He turned around and looked at the generals and said, "Is there anyone who will follow me out into the battle?"
