Chapter 211 Viking Raid
Under the scorching sun, many Karabola people took a shower next to the Minjiang River, and some elephants were also soaked in the river to escape the heat. After a while, a large group of Julu soldiers came. Without saying a word, they shouted loudly and drove these Karabola people downstream, occupied the riverside, and played with the water.
Not far away, Rahar and Dekar rode their horses around the "big city" in the scorching sun. Some Jura folk and Karabola people stepped up their fortifications under the whip and scolding.
Soon, the two of them were blocked by a small river. This was a diversion of the Minjiang River, which ran across the "big city" of Chengdu, flowing in from the water gate to the west and out from the water gate to the east.
The guards immediately found a shallow place for them. When Lahar climbed the horse and crossed the river, he found that the shallowest place, the river water was close to the point where the horse's back was flooded, at a depth of about four or five feet.
Lahar ordered to the left and right: "Although this river channel is narrow and shallow, it also needs to be found to stop it. It is necessary to prevent the enemy from escaping from the water using bamboo rafts. In addition, a floating bridge must be built to facilitate the mobilization of soldiers on both sides of the strait."
Lahar and Dikar continued to move forward, squinted their eyes and kept observing the Han garrisons at the top of the city, guessing the actual strength of the defenders in the city.
When Lahar and Dekar passed through a bush, they did not find the two bodies of the Juluo army lying inside. Half an hour ago, the two men accidentally discovered Feng Yujun's scout, and before they could warn, they were killed by the latter in a flash.
In fact, there are a hundred Feng Yu's elite scouts hiding in the suburbs around Chengdu, and they can see every move of Zhu Luojun.
After returning to his general's tent, Rahal called the commander of the auxiliary regiment and asked, "Can all the siege tools be prepared?"
"Report to the general, all the siege tools you want are fully prepared."
"Okay! Pass our military orders and will be launched tomorrow at dawn, and we will have a comprehensive attack on Chengdu!"
After the blood-red sun had sunk to the high mountains and ridges to the west, the long summer day finally passed. A bonfire was lit in the Zhuluo army camp. If you look down from the night sky, there is a large area on the Chengdu plain full of flames.
In the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, Viking ships appeared on the surface of the river. They fell down the canvas and floated silently downstream.
The camp of the equipment camp of Zhu Luojun’s auxiliary regiment is located near the Minjiang River, which is for the convenience of getting water. After all, water is also needed to build equipment.
Most of the soldiers and craftsmen in the instrument camp were from the Vaishya caste. Because they completed all the siege equipment construction tasks in advance, Lahar rewarded them with some wine and meat. At this time, they were having a banquet to celebrate.
Except for those who stood guard, the soldiers and craftsmen sat cross-legged on the grass mat and surrounded a bonfire. While drinking a low-alcohol fruit wine, they grabbed the food with their hands and delivered it to their mouths. The food was made of a mixed spice of meat rice.
At the top of the head, there were the commander of the auxiliary regiment and several generals. Under the table, several prostitutes from Zhu Luo's army twisted their waists and danced the belly dance unique to their bodies while drumming.
In the distance, a Julu soldier was leaving a guard. From time to time, he turned his head and looked here. When he turned his head and looked at him again, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the bushes, a big hand covered his mouth from behind, and a sharp blade instantly cut off his throat.
A Zhulu soldier in front of the bonfire just grabbed the rice grains with his right hand and stuffed them into his mouth. He rushed forward with a thud. Another soldier sitting next to him said in surprise, "What's the matter? You're drunk." Before he finished speaking, he saw a huge white feathered arrow inserted on the back of his head, and the arrow shaft was still trembling slightly.
The Zhu Luo soldier was still screaming and felt a chill on his back, followed by a severe pain, and his whole chest seemed to be hollowed out, and he also pounced forward to the ground. A large arrow penetrated his chest through.
It was not only the two of them who suffered this misfortune. One of the Zhulu soldiers who were "feasting" was attacked by dense arrows. They were covered in armor and had a large area of them.
"Enemy attack!, an enemy is coming!" "Get weapons quickly!" The screams also sounded one after another. Zhu Luo soldiers unbuttoned their legs and got up from the ground. The generals on the table also jumped up from the stool, turned around and ran into the tent to get their respective weapons. The prostitutes and dancers in the poison camp screamed and fled in all directions.
As soon as several Zhu Luo soldiers stood up and rushed towards their camp, they followed the bonfire and saw a few black things flying towards them. As the sound of sharp blades cutting off their flesh and blood, these Zhu Luo soldiers were killed on the spot by the flying axe.
Hundreds of Viking sailors holding tomahawk swords rushed over. They were wearing soft armor of locks and rushed into the unprepared crowd like tigers entering a flock of sheep. They raised their hands and fell, slashing and killing them.
In a rain of sword light, the Zhu Luo soldiers were killed in pieces. They scattered like chickens driven away. The sailors did not chase them and ran straight to the field where the siege equipment was placed.
"Bang! Bang!" Some people threw the clay pots on the huge siege equipment behind them. The height of the pots splashed everywhere. Some people threw the straw bales, catkins and other fire-attracting objects on these siege equipment. Then a huge fire rose into the sky.
Just as these sailors were about to retreat, the Zhulu soldiers who were running around had already taken their weapons, shouted and turned around and killed them. In front of hundreds of Viking sailors, there were already a crowd of heads of Zhulu soldiers, and they could not rush out!
At the critical moment, a commotion and screams came from behind these Zhuluo soldiers. Under the reflection of the fire, you can see more than a dozen extremely tall figures. When the Zhuluo soldiers saw them, they were like seeing ghosts under the night sky.
They were Feng Yu's giant ape warriors, and they swung the long-handled sword in their hands. Every time a sword light flashed, all the Zhu Luo soldiers in the light trail fell down.
Some brave Zhu Luo soldiers rushed forward and stabbed the opponent with swords and guns. Unexpectedly, after the weapon touched the opponent's body, it was blocked. Then they fell under the opponent's sword light.
These giant ape soldiers quickly rushed into the group of Zhuluo soldiers. They threw away the sword that was difficult to fight in close combat, took off the battle axe hanging around their waists, and swung them hard. All the Zhuluo soldiers who were approaching them all fell off their heads and splattered blood on the spot.
The Viking soldiers behind also took the opportunity to fight bravely. Flying axes, long-handled battle axes, big swords, and big swords and spears all greeted the Zhuluo soldiers. Under the huge casualties and fear of the giant ape soldiers, the Zhuluo soldiers immediately collapsed and fled in all directions.
The Viking Sailors and the Giant Apes Warriors quickly disappeared into the night. The Julu army's equipment camp had burned into a sea of fire.
