Meng Shu took 3,000 guards to swim across the river, although the river is not torrential, but it is not very calm, their water quality is not very good, and they have no tools, so they can only give up most of the weapons to cross the river.

They had just crossed the river, and the barbarian army left behind on the opposite side of the riverbank, the lord of Mulu Cave came up with troops to respond.

Meng Huo crossed the river to participate in the war, and in order to prevent accidents, he also left a group of soldiers and horses on the west bank of the river, but the blockade of the herdsmen and sailors was too strong, and he couldn't find a chance to respond.

"Wang, you have broken through, why are there only these people?"

The Mulu Cave Master walked up and looked at the three thousand embarrassed guards behind Meng Shu, and gasped.

"Let's go!"

Meng Shu took a deep breath, looked back at the other side of the riverbank, and said coldly.

"And what about our warriors, don't you leave them alone?"

The Lord of Mulu Cave asked.

"I'll get them back, now, get out of here!" Meng Shu left without looking back, and left in a hurry, because he was afraid that Mu Jing would regret it, and only by continuing to gather the main force could he have a chance to win back a game.

The soldiers and horses behind quickly began to follow, and then they disappeared into the woods.

On the river, on the deck of a double-toothed fighting ship, Gan Ning was relieved to watch them leave with his hands behind his back, and then he spoke: "Send scouts to assist the soldiers of the Asuka Battalion, hang them, make sure they are a hundred miles away from us, and then let the scouts come back!" ”

"No!"

A lieutenant commanded.

……

At the foot of Tonggu Mountain.

"Lord, Meng Shu left, he didn't drag the mud and water, but he left very simply!" Chen Gong came to report.

"Hmm!"

The pastor nodded: "This time is the posture of the hero, if he is a hero with a long love affair, he is not the barbarian king who can dominate the barbarians!" ”

"What should I do with these barbarians on the mountain?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"You ask me, who do I ask!"

Mu Jing looked at the barbarian soldiers on the mountain, and some had a headache: "At this stage, although these captives are prisoners, they can't be killed or scolded for the time being, and I really found tens of thousands of uncles for myself to wait!" ”

Even if Meng Shu finally took away 3,000 guards, there were still more than 10,000 remaining barbarian troops on Tonggu Mountain.

What to do with them, Mu Jing really hasn't thought about it yet.

After all, now, he has not completely subdued the barbarians, so these people are not only captives, but also a hidden danger, once they fight with the barbarian army, these people will even suddenly riot, tens of thousands of barbarian army riots, enough to bring danger to them.

"Now we can only collect all their weapons and armor, and then divide the battalion to guard, as long as they are separated, they will have a lot less chance of making trouble, and it will be convenient for us to guard them!" Xi Zhicai said: "But this will limit our strength to some extent!" ”

Since it is a captive, it is necessary to leave a part of the soldiers and horses to supervise it.

"Send the Dongzhou Army up!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "Let Zhang Ren keep an eye on them, this is also one of our bargaining chips, for the time being, I don't want to deal with them yet, I have to keep them to balance Meng Huo, this barbarian king, he still cares a lot about these barbarian warriors!" ”

"If he cares about the warriors of the barbarians, how can he escape alone!" Chen Gong sneered.

"Quite the opposite!"

Mu Jing said: "It is precisely because he cares that he has this line of life, if he dares to fight with me in this situation, it is the so-called puppet, willful, such a barbarian king, there is no need to be afraid, but it is the barbarian king today that people need to be afraid of!" ”

"I'll send the Dongzhou Army up now!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"By the way, where is Zhang Liao's Third Army now?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.

"After they crossed Beishui, they didn't stop at all, and they didn't pay attention to Gao Min's Yi army, they went all the way south, and now, they are about to enter Yongchang County!"

"Order, let him stop!" Mu Jing said: "Just let him concentrate on dealing with the Yi army and the Bai clan in Yuewang, don't enter Yongchang, Yongchang is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and the terrain is bad, unless you defeat the barbarians, don't go in!" ”

"No!"

Xi Zhicai immediately drafted a military order, and then asked people to send it out urgently for 800 miles.

"Now, you can concentrate on dealing with Yonghong with all your strength!" Mu Jing raised his head, his eyes were hunting, and a killing intent rose from the sky.

Relative to Meng Huo.

He was more willing to behead Yonghong.

Meng Huo can stay, because Meng Huo's power is only among the barbarians, and it can be used and stayed, but Yonghong is different, Yonghong can never stay, such a person has too much influence in the Yizhou Army, even if he is deprived of his military power and put him under house arrest, he can turn the clouds and rain.

If you don't kill him, it will be difficult to calm Yizhou County.

However, the barbarian army on the mountain has not yet been dealt with, and they have not been able to draw troops at present, so even if they are in a hurry, they can only endure it and push it down step by step.

Now that it has crossed the defense of Wei County, the next step is to drive straight in......

…………

In the next two days, on the one hand, he was cleaning the battlefield, and on the other hand, he was dealing with tens of thousands of barbarian prisoners, and things went a little smoothly, because before Meng Shu left, he had already opened his mouth to let these warriors surrender, and he didn't want to pay for unnecessary casualties.

The leader of the barbarian captives was Meng Jie.

Meng Jie, as Meng Huo's younger brother, is very important among the barbarians, and Meng Huo left Meng Jie behind in order to calm the mood of the barbarian warriors, and also said that no matter what, he will definitely kill back.

Meng Jie was unwilling, but for the life and death of tens of thousands of warriors, he still followed his brother's instructions before leaving, cooperated with the herdsman, handed over weapons, handed over battle armor, handed over horses, and handed over all war preparations.

The five battalions of the Dongzhou Army pressed up, divided these warriors into five prisoner camps to take care of them, and established a military position around the prisoner camp.

At this moment, a piece of news from Dianchi Lake, like a shocking thunder, suddenly exploded in the Chinese army headquarters of the Mu Army.

"What?"

Mu Jing's eyes widened, and he was a little incredulous: "Lei Hu and Shamoke have defeated half of the city?" ”

He originally let Lei Hu and Shamoke take the longest road, the most impossible mountain road, and the troops were under the city of Dianchi City, which was a strategy to attack the east and the west, so as to cooperate with the main force and tear apart the defense of Wei County.

Now the plan is going well, but I didn't expect it to go too far.

Dianchi City is so great, it is the main city of Nanzhong, the four counties of Nanzhong, the largest and strongest city, with the main force of Lei Hu and Shamoke, it is impossible to break through.

But unexpectedly, they actually broke the city.

"Hmm!"

Chen Gong was also a little surprised, he took a deep breath, calmed down, nodded and said: "The news from Jingwu Division, Jingwu Division Zuo Si and Zhiyue Shu secretly acted in the city, first persuaded the five major families in the city to surrender, opened the city gate, welcomed Lei Hu Shamoke into the city, and captured the city overnight!" ”

"That's in the past, Jing Wusi's efforts over the years have not been in vain, since he has captured the city, why do you say that he only occupied half of the city?"

Mu Jing squinted.

Yue Shu has the ability, he knows it, otherwise he would not have left them behind, he was Dong Fu beside Liu Yan at the beginning, a chess piece in Hanzhong, just this chess piece, and finally used by Mu Jing.

"Because their foundation is too solid, even if Yue Shu persuaded the five wealthy clans in Dianchi City to come to our side, the wealthy clans in Yizhou still turned the tables, dozens of wealthy clans in Yizhou, intertwined, although the city is broken, but the soldiers of all the clans in the city help each other, Yongtong, the governor of Yizhou County, gathered 20,000 troops at once, and stubbornly blocked Shamoke's attack for a day and a night, and insisted until Yonghong led the army back!"

Chen Gong said: "Yonghong drove straight into and recaptured half of the city, but the southern city of Dianchi was still occupied by Lei Hu and Shamoke, but I don't know how long it can last!" ”

"Go south, go south immediately!"

Mu Jing stood up and said without hesitation: "Pass my military order, order, Jingping Water Division, gather within an hour, immediately go south along the river, send a battalion as the vanguard, concentrate on it, speed up the light boat, and enter Dianchi Lake in the shortest possible time!" ”

He was reluctant to engage in a campaign to storm the city of Dianchi.

Dianchi City is the main city, the city is high and the wall is thick, the siege is always unhappy for Mujing, even if it wins, it will have to pay a certain price in the end, for the siege battle, many times it is to kill the enemy a thousand and lose more than a thousand and a half.

Now there's a great opportunity here.

As long as Lei Hu and Shamoke can hold out until the main force of the herdsmen moves south, then they don't need to attack the city at all, and directly tear apart the defense line of Dianchi City, either fighting in the plains on the outskirts of the city, or fighting in the alleys of the main roads in the city.

Either way, it's better than storming the main city.

"No!"

Chen Gong nodded and took the order.

"Zhicai!"

"Beat the drums and gather the generals, leave the Dongzhou Army to guard the prisoners, and then the whole army will rush forward and speed up the pace of the south!" Mu Jing had a fiery mood in his heart, he thought that he would fight for a full year, but now it seems that in August, he will be able to break through Dianchi Lake, so he can't let go of this opportunity, if he can end the battle of Nanzhong before the cold winter, it will definitely be able to save a lot of strength for the Mu army.

"No!"

Xi Zhicai nodded.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Dianchi City is in the midst of change.

There are three main streets in the city that can run through the whole city, one horizontal and two vertical.

Hengjie is Dian Yun Avenue.

With Yunyun Avenue as the boundary, the southern city has been controlled by the herdsmen's army, and the northern city, with the entry of the main force of Yonghong, has stabilized all of a sudden, and with the confrontation between the two armies, the city is in chaos.

In the war, there are countless fish ponds.

From the day the city was broken, to now, there are countless households in the city that have been destroyed.

A mansion that became the headquarters of the pastoral army.

Among the command headquarters, Lei Hu sat in the first place, Shamoke sat on the side, the captains of each department sat the most, and several heads of families who had already surrendered to the pastoral army also sat on the side, listening to the war meeting.

"It's come to this, it's just a battle!"

Lei Hu's voice is very loud, and his voice is strong and powerful, at this time, it is especially easy to stabilize the army's heart, he is not worried about his own people, the battle tiger battalion is the main combat battalion, and the soldiers in it are all trained by high ranks, whether they are physical or mental, at this time, they are naturally stable, and Shamoke's Wuxi barbarian army, although it is not as firm as the pastoral army, will not take refuge in Yizhou County, because their foundation is not here.

When he said this, if he wanted to stabilize it, he was just the head of several wealthy families who took refuge in the herdsman army and led troops into the city.

They can enter the city, with the support of the fifth, Yu family, Liu family, Qiu family, Gu Liang family, these five wealthy families, can be so smooth, as the so-called water can carry the boat can also overturn the boat, in this Dianchi City, no matter how strong the war tiger battalion and the Wuxi barbarian army are, no one supports it, it is in vain.

"I know that this battle has not been successful, and it will disappoint your expectations, and you will even be a little disappointed in my Minghou Mansion, but I hope you can hold it steady!" Lei Hu is not a lobbyist who is good at lobbying, but at this time, only he can stabilize people, even if Yue Shu comes to speak, it is not enough for him, he can only bite the bullet and say kindly: "What I can tell you is that as long as you can support our army to hold on for five days, I promise that you will never regret your choice!" ”

Fifth, several people looked at each other.

Originally, they chose to take refuge in the Minghou Mansion, even if they were a little risky, but now the pastoral army could not quickly take Dianchi City as they wished, which had already shaken their confidence in the pastoral army a little.

The point is that Yonghong is back.

Their fear of Yonghong is too strong, and they are even a little overwhelmed.

As for whether they regretted supporting the pastoral army in their hearts, I don't know, but at this moment, they didn't dare to let out their expressions of regret, because sitting in front of them was also a group of killing gods, and they could only be expressionless.

"Do you know why Yonghong led the army back?" Yue Shu sat as Jing Wusi, and he suddenly asked.

"Why?"

The fifth Yue raised his head, glanced at Yue Shu, and asked.

Among the five wealthy families, the fifth family is actually the most unchoiceable, because they opened the city gate, and now they can only advance and retreat together with the herdsmen.

"Because they were defeated!"

Yue Shu said calmly: "The main force of our army has crossed the defense line of Wei County, and Yonghong did not return victoriously as suddenly said, but fled back!" ”

Yonghong suddenly led the army back, in the name of returning victoriously, to boost the morale of the army, otherwise the herdsman army had already captured the city in his hands, how could he recapture half of the city at once.

His appeal in Dianchi City is still very strong.

The reason for the defeat of the herdsmen in the northern city this time.

"Escaped?"

The news was too chaotic, and several family owners didn't know whether to believe Yonghong or Mujun, and they didn't know what the battle of Weixian was, so they didn't dare to speak and express their stance, for fear that they would not be able to pull out if they stepped in.

"No matter what others do, my fifth family, I don't regret choosing it!" The fifth Yue was the first to say: "I have integrated the family government soldiers, gathered with the county soldiers, there are 2,000 soldiers, led by the fifth Deng personally, at the mercy of you and others!" ”

The Fifth Family, All or Nothing!

The rest of the family heads thought about it carefully, and felt that they had no way out, because they all knew Yonghong's temperament, if the pastoral army was defeated, the first thing would be to kill them, raid the family and exterminate the clan, and there would be no mercy.

"The fifth family master is right, don't regret your choice, only advance and retreat together!"

"At this time, I only hope that Lord Minghou will not let us down!"

The remaining heads of the family expressed their stance one after another, no matter what choice they made in their hearts, at this time, they still expressed their support for the herdsman.

Lei Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

If they turn against the water at this time, then this half of the city will really not be able to be saved.

As long as they dare to support it, then this battle, Lei Hu thinks, can still fight, he believes in Mu Jing, hold on for five days, the strength of the Mu army will definitely arrive.
