Chapter 857 Panlong
Panlong River.
"Report to the big ghost master, Juding has passed Jianshan Mountain, and the front is still 20 miles away."
A Heman dressed in green felt came galloping on horseback and reported loudly.
"Can Puni's soldiers and horses be behind?"
"The queen of Juding, Nong Sanniang, personally leads the army to the queen."
Standing in the twilight with the big ghost master Meng Guzhen, looking at the burning cloud in the sky, the sky is getting dark, and the Puni army from Jiaozhou is chasing after him, and the third lady Nong in Juding is probably in danger now.
Beside him, a young and barbarian soldier looked at his father worriedly, "The Puni people are going to wipe out Juding this time. If we take action, we are afraid of getting burned. The Puni people's soldiers are too strong."
Another young man in a green felt cloak retorted, "The Puni people only have two hands and one mouth, and they don't have three heads and six arms. They are not much stronger than us, but their weapons and armor are better. But as long as we don't follow them Fighting on the open ground, we lead these Puni people to drill in the deep mountains and old forests, then their heavy armor, long spears, and even their huge ballistas will become a burden, and their tall war horses There is no use for it, and the victory belongs to us in the end!"
Several young people in green felt cloaks are very confident, and they are not afraid of the Tang people. They and the Ni people are also called Hani people. They have dealt with those Punihan people for thousands of years. But they and the Nepalese have never been afraid.
Although for thousands of years, many Heni people finally chose to surrender to the Puni people, and many even became the son-in-law of the Puni people, and even changed their surnames, and their children became Puni people. On the way to the south, many people finally accepted the rule of the Puni people, and gradually forgot the inheritance and history of their ethnic group.
But at least, these people never forget.
From Xiqing Mountain to Dadu River, from Erhai Lake to Dianchi Lake, and then from Lishe River to Lixian River, they migrated all the way without compromise.
In their ghost songs, they left the names of the places they had migrated through. They called Kunming Yiqie, Dali Siyi, and Erhai Siyibama.
Stone Forest is called Luna, Kaiyuan is called Amu...
They called the upper reaches of the Lishe River Cudu Micha, which means a transfer station, the Yuanjiang Dam as Lasha, the water of the Yuanjiang River as Lasha Bama, the Mojiang River as Yimoluoba, and the lower reaches of the Lixian River as Yumagou. bar·······
This is a tribe that is always migrating and wandering. They have no written language, but they have their own language. They worship ghosts and witches, sacrifice to gods and ghosts, and they use ghost songs to record their history.
Wrapping black cloth heads and wearing blue felt, they call themselves Honi people, which means hillside. They are a group of mountain people who live on hillsides and are good at cultivating terraced fields.
The Heni people have been wandering for too long. There used to be four major tribes of a royal family. After thousands of years of migration, continuous reproduction and division, it has long been difficult to distinguish. From Erhai Lake to Lixianjiang, and The various branches and ethnic groups of the Ni people stretch for thousands of miles.
The group of Honi people in the Jianshan area (Wenshan Prefecture) on the upper reaches of the Panlong River was once a branch of one of the four major tribes. They moved all the way south and finally arrived here, becoming the easternmost branch of the Honi people.
At that time, the ancestors of Meng Guju lived in Bazi, Yuanjiang. Later, they had conflicts with the clansmen, so they moved eastward with them, crossed the Red River, and finally came to the upper reaches of the Panlong River. The Juding Nong clan accepted them, and the two clans married. Hand in hand.
The two tribes were bounded by the Panlong River, the Juding Nong tribe in the northeast of the Jiangxi Province, and the Heman Meng tribe in the south of Jiangxi Province. The two tribes went northwest to the bank of the Nanpan River.
For a long time, the Meng family and the Nepalese regarded themselves as the son-in-law of the Nong family. The Juding Nong family was good at mining and smelting copper and iron, and making equipment, while the Meng family and the Nepalese were good at renovating terraced fields and planting rice. Get along, alliance against respective enemies.
When one party is in trouble, the other party will definitely support it. Although they are not of the same clan, the relationship between husband and son-in-law has been passed down from generation to generation, and the two clans have also married for generations.
The last time the Tang army in Jiaozhou attacked the Heman tribes, Meng Guchu led his troops to reinforce the same tribes. No matter what kind of conflicts they had, they were all tribesmen of the same clan. At critical times, they had to be united. .
The battle had nothing to do with the Nong clan, but Nong Tianfu led his troops to help without hesitation, witnessing the generation-to-generation friendship between the two clans.
Although Nong Tianfu is dead now, his wife is still leading the tribe to fight. Now that the defeated soldiers come to vote, they can't ignore it.
"The young and strong soldiers will follow me to meet Mrs. Nong, and the rest will go back to the tribe first to meet Mrs. Nong's old and weak."
Meng Guji's eyes showed determination.
The Tang army is very strong, and the Nong clan, which is much stronger than their Meng clan, united the nine tribes of Juding and formed an army of 100,000 to march eastward. They were still defeated, but he had no choice but to help his allies. .
The middle reaches of the Panlong River.
This is called the Panlong River by the Annan Protectorate, but it is called the Nongren River in Juding. At this time, under the twilight, the Nongren River has been filled with the corpses of young and strong members of the Nong tribe, and the river is stained with blood. People can't tell whether it is the burning clouds in the sky that are reflected in the river water, or whether the river water is stained red with blood, and half of the sky is also reflected red.
Nong Ren Riverside.
The totem banners of tigers, leopards, wolves, elephants, snakes and eagles of the nine tribes in Juding were staggered and mixed together, and countless corpses fell in a pool of blood.
The surviving Gouting warriors are still fighting with spears and swords.
The elephant army that Nong is proud of, the powerful force that can shake the earth when it runs, has been annihilated at this time.
Right on the bank of the Nongren River, the corpses of thousands of war elephants were piled up on the riverbank. Those huge war elephants were like giants, but they all died in battle in front of the Tang people with powerful bows and crossbows.
The chicken egg thick iron crossbow gun that was ten feet long broke through the leather armor on the war elephant, piercing these giants deeply and stabbing them to death.
The battle is not over yet.
The smell of blood that soared into the sky attracted countless crows and vultures circling in the air.
The battle started before Wu Guyi and the others arrived.
After Nong Sanniang broke up peacefully with Zuoximan King Fusan in Gaoping Fort, she led her troops to withdraw all the way to the east. As soon as she returned to Juding territory, she ran into Li Daliang's army in Jiaozhou. The two sides fought several times. Although the Juding army was very brave, But he was exhausted early, and was finally defeated by the Jiaozhou army who was waiting for work.
Li Daliang's troops led the ranks to chase after him, running all the way and chasing them all the way, and finally chased them to the bank of the Nongren River.
Facing the pursuers.
Nong Sanniang personally led the army behind the palace, covering the old and weak women and children and retreating first.
The Jucho Army fought its last battle.
Put to death.
Behind him is the Gungun Nongren River, which is the last territory of Juding, and behind him are the old and weak people who have just crossed the river.
At the beginning of the battle, the Jiaozhou army took advantage of the bow and crossbow, formed a dense spear array with rifles and spears, advanced slowly, and supported the cover with crossbowmen behind them, suppressed the Juding army with bows and crossbows, and coupled with cavalry on both wings cruising , Ready to bite and kill at any time, although Tang Jun is small, but he is too stubborn to speak.
The dense hedgehog-like spear array advanced one after another, intending to drive them all into the Nongren River.
The Guding army had no way to retreat, only to fight to the death.
Nong Sanniang stood under the banner of Jiaolong, wearing armor, beating the bronze drum herself to help out.
The Goutachi army rushed to those spears again and again without hesitation, fighting **** battles one after another.
The Juding army showed great courage. They were brave and not afraid of death, but they were finally driven back to the river step by step by the Tang army.
Two miles, they were pushed back two miles, and on the two miles, tens of thousands of Guding Jiubu young men fell down.
In the end, they had no way to retreat, and the soldiers behind had retreated into the river.
He Manbu finally came one step late.
Meng Guju spent a lot of time in order to cross the river from the upper reaches.
Tiger's flag.
The children of the Meng family were all sad and angry when they saw the tragic battlefield.
Why is God so unfair, why do you want to help those Puni people.
"We are late." Meng Chongdao sighed.
However, Meng Guxi pulled out a big knife. This was a big knife made by the head of the Nong clan after the ancestors of the Meng family moved to the bank of the Nongren River. The big knife was tempered with tiger bone and blood. The treasure of the township of the Meng family and the Ni people has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Father!"
Meng Chongdao was shocked, Juding had been defeated, and within half an hour, they would all be driven into the Nongren River, and the entire army would be wiped out.
But the Meng family came all the way, and the whole army was exhausted. At this time, it was impossible to rescue the Juding army.
Nong's elephant army was defeated, unable to recover.
Meng Guju glanced at the broadsword in his hand, and then looked at the battlefield.
"The Tang army in Jiaozhou is also exhausted."
"The morale of the Juding army is still there, and they are still resisting to the death."
"At this time, let's kill the past and attack the Tang army's rear, and there is still a chance to come back!"
"The whole army presses on, fight!"
Meng Chongdao's lips trembled in shock, this is fortune. Tang Jun was indeed exhausted, but they were also very exhausted, and they didn't even have time to take a breath.
Wait for them to line up, Tang Jun probably drove the Juding people down the river.
"Father, the Tang people may still have a reserve team. If we kill them and their ambush comes out, we will all be thrown into the Nongren River to feed the fish."
Meng Guju glanced at his eldest son.
"You can't always look forward and backward when doing things, young man, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, I just don't think I can do it like this."
"Son, fighting is a gamble on your life. No matter how careful your calculations are, things can change rapidly on the battlefield. I bet that the Tang Army definitely doesn't have a reserve team. If the battle has reached this point, if there was a reserve team, they would have already bet on it. Drive all the towns into the river."
Swinging the knife, Meng Guzhen didn't even organize his formation before attacking, but directly pressed the whole army.
Meng Chongdao sighed in his heart. Their ancestors were descendants of Meng Huo from Nanzhong during the Shu Han period of the Three Kingdoms. Meng Huo was captured and released seven times by the prime minister of the Shu Han.
The young disciples of the Meng family pulled out their swords one after another, and pulled out the swords made by the Nong family one after another, shining brightly.
Thousands of green felt cloaks fluttered, like a cloud of green clouds suddenly attacking Tang Jun's back.
