Chapter 303 Blood-stained Dingjun Mountain
Historical records indicate that the Battle of Dingjun Mountain was Cao Cao's second disastrous defeat in his war career.
In more than ten years of fighting, Liu Bei never defeated Cao Cao. Not only did he lose the city, Guan Yu, but also his wife and became the laughing stock of the world!
So this time Liu Bei gritted his teeth and wanted revenge. In order to avenge his past humiliation, he not only mobilized all his troops, but also sent Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and other fierce generals to the front line.
Counting Guan Yu and Ma Chao guarding the rear, almost all the five tiger generals were dispatched!
Cao Cao sent his brother Xia Houyuan to guard Hanzhong against Liu Bei's army.
The result was that Huang Zhong was condescending, stormed into Cao's camp, and slashed Xia Houyuan with his sword. As a result, Cao's army was leaderless and completely defeated. Even if Cao Cao later personally led a large army to reinforce, it was useless. Liu Bei completely occupied the fertile land in central Sichuan, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms was formed.
"Three Kingdoms" records that every time Cao Cao thinks of the battle of Dingjun Mountain, he feels extremely sad. Not only did he lose a good brother in this battle, but he also missed the opportunity to unify the world.
However, the Battle of Dingjun Mountain on the mural seems to be different from what I read in history.
The Cao army camp in the mural is densely packed all over Dingjun Mountain, with sentry towers, antlers, and even large trebuchets, which can be said to be impregnable.
Cao's troops on patrol were also in high spirits and wanted to kill more enemies. Xia Houyuan was sitting firmly in the central army tent, discussing military affairs with several armored generals.
Everywhere he looked, there were black flags with the word "Cao" planted all over them! The Shu army in the distance was so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Such an army, such a lineup, is simply too powerful. How could an old man like Huang Zhong be allowed to enter the position and kill the coach Xia Houyuan?
Isn't this a fucking international joke?
I estimate that Huang Zhong was shot into a sieve by random arrows when he was fifty meters away from Cao Jun's position.
Could it be that there was another secret behind the battle of Dingjun Mountain? So I told everyone my thoughts.
Wang Yuanchao also echoed: "Dingdang is right. Such a well-trained army cannot be afraid of the weak Shu army, let alone give the opponent a chance to kill the commander."
The fat man said: "Hey, let me go, brother who aids Korea, although you are also a soldier, ancient military and modern warfare are completely different, can we stop messing with each other?"
Wang Yuanchao glared at the fat man: "You are the one who is fooling around. Do you think ancient wars are really like what is written in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", where soldiers watch a show and two commanders ride on horseback to fight for 300 rounds? That's all fake.
Yes, the commander is just like the current commander, responsible for commanding the battle. And if you look at the military discipline of Cao's army on the mural, they are united and overwhelming. This is definitely the strongest army of that era."
Seeing that the fat man was still unwilling, I said, "Everyone, please continue to look back! Cao Cao will tell us the answer."
After saying that, I continued to follow the mural with a solemn expression. In order to avoid seeing clearly, I took out a magnifying glass from my camping bag and translated the words on the mural.
Suddenly the fat man exclaimed: "Dingdang, wait the fuck, what's going on here, why is it so sticky?"
I was startled by the fat man and asked quickly: "Where?"
"It's the black flag of Cao Jun that is all over Dingjun Mountain on the mural." The fat man touched the mural with his hands curiously: "This flag doesn't seem to be carved on it! It's sticky like snot, it's so disgusting.
Fatty, please wipe your hands quickly."
I was dumbfounded by what the fat man said. I quickly used a flashlight to shine on the black flags. After thinking about them for a long time, I didn't see anything wrong. However, when I touched them, my hands were a little wet and sticky.
"I guess it's because it's too old and the murals are too moist, so the ink melted?" I explained: "In ancient times, there were no colorful paints. They used animal blood or body fluids. For example, the black color is probably cuttlefish.
It's normal for the juice to be sticky, so don't make a fuss, fat guy."
"No, I always think there's something wrong with these black flags!" The fat man shook his head repeatedly and started to fall into deep thought.
Seeing that the fat man was suspicious, the three of us ignored him and left him alone to ponder things while we continued to look at the murals at the back.
Cao Jun's position sent out several vanguard teams and occupied the hilltop, leaving the Shu army without even the last chance.
Such a defensive formation would probably be difficult for modern armies to overwhelm in an instant, let alone the Shu army at that time. Even if the five tiger generals came together to kill them, they would only die.
So what is it that caused such a powerful Cao army to be almost completely wiped out?
Just when Monk Zhang Er was scratching his head, the long-legged sister suddenly turned off the flashlight, took out a more powerful emergency light, and said in a horrified voice as she illuminated the next mural: "Look!"
Hearing the greeting from the long-legged lady, Wang Yuanchao and I ran over immediately.
This time the style of the mural has completely changed, and the entire mural is divided into four small grids.
What came into view was no longer a mighty army, but the whole Dingjun Mountain was wailing. The corpses of Cao Jun were constantly being carried out from the military camp and piled up into a hill. There were also military doctors feeding the soldiers anesthetics.
Then he used a knife or ax to cut open the soldier's thigh or chest, and he dug something inside with his hands. The scene was dripping with blood, and it made me feel numb.
Gradually, all the soldiers seemed to be infected, and disgusting big bumps appeared on their bodies.
Although all the military doctors are busy, they seem to be helpless against this strange disease. Coach Xia Houyuan stands in the Chinese military tent with a sad face, like an ant on a hot pot.
What really caused Cao's army to be completely defeated was the second panel of the mural. The color seemed to be that of a dark night. Many small black shadows appeared inexplicably in the tent. Those black shadows frantically attacked the patrolling Cao's army, and many of Cao's soldiers were injured.
Tear apart, Dingjun Mountain flows into a river of blood!
The generals all rushed to various camps with swords in hand to stabilize the morale of the troops. Commander Xia Houyuan was sitting in the Chinese army tent. Several military doctors knelt down and worshiped under the tent. They dedicated a small iron cage to Xia Houyuan. The person imprisoned in the small iron cage was exactly that kind of man.
A dark shadow with many feet.
At the same time, a cavalryman carried the flag of a five-hundred-mile rush and desperately went to the rear to ask Cao Cao for reinforcements...
The bottom of the mural is full of text, but this text is not regular script, but a type of text we have never seen before. The font is very slender, and the radicals are twisted like devils.
Wang Yuanchao and I looked at each other. No one knew what these words meant.
Unexpectedly, the long-legged lady suddenly took out the silver gloves from her military bag, and then carefully touched the words in front of her.
Wang Yuanchao and I saw that the long-legged lady was so cautious, so we didn't dare to disturb her.
After waiting for a while, the long-legged sister said to us: "This should be the writing of the ancient Shu country. This ancient Shu country was not the Shu Han established by Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, but was entrenched in Sichuan a long time ago.
A country that can be traced back as far back as the Oracle era."
"So ancient?" I was shocked.
"Yes." The long-legged sister smiled and said, "Have you read "The Road to Shu is Difficult" written by Li Bai? There is a sentence in it: Silkworms and yufu, how confused was the founding of the country? You are forty-eight thousand years old, not
Connected with Qin Sai! This Cancong Yufu refers to the names of two kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom. It is said that Cancong looks different from ordinary people when he is born, with bulging eyes, four hands and four feet, because he
They were raised by spiders. I don’t know whether the silkworm bush grew into this strange shape, but in recent years archaeologists have also proved the existence of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the Sanxingdui Civilization is one of the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom..."
