Chapter 23: Running Out
The thickest part of this conical tube is more than one meter in diameter, and the closing point is about one foot. The outside is wrapped with a layer of cowhide, and the inside is made of wooden boards and iron rings. The overall look is like an unfinished giant wine barrel.
Four slaves stood at the end of the finished arch bridge, shook the rocker in their hands, and slowly lowered a semicircular component composed of huge wooden iron fur. The destination of the semicircular component was the top of the waterfall behind the camp, with the extraordinary momentum of the waterfall, and the tail end of the arch bridge was only five or six meters away from the waterfall. Soon, the component arrived at the destination and steadily rested on the waterfall. A huge amount of water was guided into the pipeline above the arch bridge. After a few breaths, it had already rushed out of the pipeline entrance along the dozens of meters long. [bsp; A powerless force that could not be erected two strong men carrying the dragon head flew away. If it weren't for the head of the pipeline locking onto the city wall with a few iron chains, it would be hard to say what tragedy would have happened.
A little adapted to this momentum, the two slaves naturally turned their heads toward the Guangyuan Army under the city. An unparalleled water column appeared from the city wall, and rushed towards the miserable Guangyuan Army under the artificial effect. The giant shield on the door panel could not provide them with any protection, and the companions behind them could not support their weak bodies. As long as the water column swept across, except for the flying sand and stone ghosts crying and howling gods, there were only human bodies and water splashes flying all over the sky.
If Zhou Shixiong was there, maybe silver would be wet with one hand to praise this scene. It was like water pillars dancing with flying stones, and the remaining limbs were howling with wolfs. It was spectacular!
Nong Xiaogao stood outside the passage and looked at the scene beyond imagination, and his thoughts seemed to be frozen. Who am I fighting with? Are they gods? The elders around him had no philosophical cultivation and each knelt on the ground to pray for forgiveness of the gods. They regarded this water pillar that was raging Guangyuan Army as the incarnation of the dragon god.
After savoring the power of the water column with his body, Guangyuan Army completely collapsed, and as long as he could move, he was running away. The most tragic thing was that the thousand Guangyuan Army were ambushed on the right side of the camp. They were originally hidden well, and no one would pay attention to them if they didn't move. However, as soon as the artifact water dragon came out, these guys were not calm and ran out of the lurking place, intending to leave the crime scene of the water dragon.
The thousand Guangyuan army on the front were defeated and fled by the water dragon. The lurking group happened to block the dragon's mouth and the wailing divine song sounded again. The reason why this group of people was tragic is that Guangyuan army on the front attack could turn around and escape, and there were only forests and hillsides behind them. It was difficult to run away.
"It's so amazing!" I won't mention the feelings of the victims under the city. The people on the city wall were also frightened. Even Guan Chongguang, who believed he was a disciple of Confucianism, could blurt out such words, and the others' performance was even more exaggerated. The slaves knelt down and kowtowed to the water dragon, praising the gods in their country words. Gong Liu and Tie Yong, who created the water dragon, were so excited that their legs were trembling, and meaningless sounds were made in their mouths. No one knew what they were saying.
Molan was the most calm one. She just felt the warmth under her crotch, and a stream of water flowed down her thighs into her shoes. "Is this what I did? It's really what I did!"
After a while, the two strong men with dragon heads raised were exhausted and couldn't help asking for help from the witch who created the magical artifact, "Madam Mo, they have surrendered, will they continue?"
Molan was still savoring the pleasure brought by the shock. She had no time to pay attention to these two slaves. Guan Chongguang finally returned to normal. "Molan, let them stop."
Mo Lan turned around and shook the flag to her sister when she heard the order. Mo Zhu had heard the cheers on the city wall. When she saw her sister's order, she shouted loudly, "Broken Dragon Tail."
Several craftsmen who were on standby on the slanted arch bridge used pry poles to tie the steel bolts to the dragon's tail and the dragon's body. With a roar, the semicircular dragon's tail fell into the pool and the waterfall returned to normal. Seeing that the water column weakened, Guan Chongguang pointed to the city and "attacked."
Although there was no Jinyiwei present and even the auxiliary barracks were not present, a thousand pure slaves guarding the city seemed to instantly transform into standard warriors and rushed out of the camp with high momentum.
They did not encounter resistance. The Guangyuan army had not yet run away and knelt on the ground and prayed to their ancestors, hoping that their ancestors could bless them to escape the punishment of the gods. The slaves captured more than a thousand people, but only about six hundred escaped.
After resolving the threat of siege, Guan Chongguang could not rest. In addition to sending people to track the escaped Guangyuan army, he also had to take slaves to rescue the Xiang team. When the clan elder who was instructed by Nong Xiaogao saw the enemy reinforcements, he immediately retreated ten miles and joined the ambush hidden behind him. He neither attacked nor retreated, perfectly realizing his combat intention to restrain the enemy. When he found that his retreat was blocked by a thousand enemy troops, he had no chance to retreat.
What did the enemy explain from this direction? It means that the central army was defeated! What is the use of this little man? After thinking about it, the clan elder actually got the answer in just one minute. Surrender!
The war in which Guangyuan Army launched a large-scale attack on the new camp was over at this moment. No matter what follow-up methods there are, the failure of this war has been a foregone conclusion.
It still has to be done. Guan Chongguang ordered Zhou Wu to lead the Xiang team and Zhou Er to pursue the enemy. How much can he catch? Guan Chongguang never thought about leaving all the enemies, and Nong Xiaogao never thought about it. He led the remaining soldiers back to the new camp, and Nong Xiaogao passed by the camp without any intention of staying. As for someone who proposed to destroy the new camp to take revenge, Nong Xiaogao made him get out of the way. He was not focused on escaping, and he also thought that there were all kinds of things. Don't forget that they had cavalry.
The nearly seven hundred defeated soldiers returned to their military camp and gathered with the two hundred old men and women guarding the camp. Nong Feigao sent a signal to the warships on the other side of the river, asking the warships to come and carry them across the river. Before the warships could wait, the elephant team and the cavalry team arrived first. The number of people in the Guangyuan army was still superior, but for the elephant team and the cavalry team guarding outside the military camp, no barbarian wanted to go out to fight.
Nong Xiaogao waited for the troops left and right but waited for the enemy's pursuers, but instead waited for the enemy's pursuit. Fortunately, it was already dark, so there was no need to worry about the enemy's attack immediately, otherwise, these defeated soldiers would have fled in all directions. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Nong Xiaogao told his subordinates, "Tonight, I will send someone to cross the river and ask the troops to pick you up and leave overnight, so don't worry."
In the middle of the night, the Guangyuan Army soldiers who were unwilling to sleep did see more than a dozen people walking over the river holding wooden boards, and I believe the warships would come to rescue them soon. For a time, the morale of the Guangyuan Army was wonderfully restored. Those who should stand guard and those who should sleep, each perform their duties in a good order.
The next morning, Guangyuan Army, who was inexplicably in a state of inexplicable condition, discovered two things, one was that the warship had not arrived yet, and the other was that the clan leader disappeared. In an instant, they figured out two things. The clan leader was the clan leader who crossed the river to ask for help. The clan leader was so great! The other thing was rather embarrassing. If the warship didn't come, would the clan leader come back?
Fortunately, Guan Chongguang was quite powerful and did not let them think for a long time. Not long after dawn, a thousand auxiliary soldiers and a thousand slaves were led by Guan Chongguang to the Guangyuan army and issued an ultimatum to Guangyuan army.
The dragons are still blind, and the insects are even more useless. Before the demonstrative attack was launched in Zhoujiazhuang, the defeated troops of Guangyuan's army have already started a camp and surrendered, hoping not to anger the other party and reduce some pressure on the slave career he is about to face.
Nong Xiaogao vomited blood. He crossed the river successfully under the protection of more than a dozen personal guards, but he could not find the whereabouts of the warships. After dawn, Nong Xiaogao found a farmer near the river and asked about the warships. The old farmer said, "The warships drove away yesterday. Look at the direction, it should be back to the city."
After vomiting blood, Nong Xiaogao wanted to swim across the river and return to the military camp. He could not abandon his army and tribe. Under the urge to persuade his guards, Nong Xiaogao could only leave the riverside in disgrace and rush to the Hui tribe to think about the next action. Nong Xiaogao had no time to find Nong Phu Bao and asked him why he transferred the military ship. Because Nong Xiaogao had to rush back as soon as possible, he thought of ways to preserve his strength and status before the news spread.
Guan Chongguang received the last group of prisoners and immediately wrote a letter to Zhou Shixiong. Of course, it is important to announce the good news. The most important thing is to tell Zhou Shixiong that the most urgent pressure no longer exists. What we need to do in the near future is to give the new camp a legal status. This place is very special because it is close to Zhennan Pass. The west bank belongs to the Daiyi tribe of Lang Sang Prefecture, but no one has developed it on the east bank.
The people of Jiaozhi dared not occupy this land, and the people of Pingxiangzhou dared not cultivate and live here. This nearly 10,000 acres of plain has been abandoned, making Zhou Shixiong cheaper. If you don’t take advantage of it, you will be a bastard. This is an important common sense that Zhou Shixiong learned in modern times. Therefore, he never thought of applying for land reclamation from Pingxiangzhou or Nanning Prefecture and applying for land deeds.
However, Guan Chongguang's views are somewhat different. Concealing the land can indeed make a fortune, but when encountering trouble, there is no reason to ask others for support. The Huang family in Xiangzhou is unreliable. If you offend Lang Sang Mansion again, you can imagine how bad the prospects of Zhou Jiazhuang are.
Therefore, Guan Chongguang hopes to find a legal status for this land. As for choosing whether to choose Xiangzhou or Lang Sang Mansion, Guan Chongguang doesn't matter. Zhou Shixiong is responsible for it. He doesn't want to
Have this leisurely worry.
On the fourth day of October, Zhou Shixiong invited the brothers and sisters of Nguyen Phu and Nguyen Phu Ah Jiang at home. In addition to thanking Nguyen Phu for his efforts, he also wanted to gain some benefits in the upcoming pork distribution incident.
On the first day of October, civil strife broke out in the Daiyi tribe, and the second elder of the Great Elder suddenly died. The clan leader Nong Xiaogao retreated from the front line to deal with the chaos. Not only did he annex the four villages of the Great Elder and the Second Elder, but he also included several small villages such as Qingya Village, which had made serious mistakes on the battlefield. For a time, the clan leader's power increased greatly, and half of the Daiyi tribe was directly under Nong Xiaogao's jurisdiction, and no one could challenge his authority again.
Unfortunately, Nong Fei Gao's majesty ended here. The news of Guangyuan's defeat suddenly spread throughout Lang San Mansion. After some private operations, Nguyen Phu Bao persuaded the Nong and Chinese to join forces to attack the Tyyi tribe. Just yesterday, the three coalition forces surrounded the Tyyi tribe. The reason why they had not taken action was to see what benefits Nong Fei Gao could use to buy his own life.
