Chapter 999: Driving the Barbarians (Part I)
"The other army will want to break through Zitong as soon as possible and end the war. Otherwise, when your army reinforcements arrive, if you want to break through Zitong, it will be no wonder to ascend to the sky. ”
Huang Quan said, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he suddenly noticed something, and asked Meng You anxiously.
"General Meng, do you have any information for reinforcements?"
When Meng You heard this, seeing that Huang Quan was so anxious, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly replied.
"Last night, we just received information from the cave master of Dong Cha that our army reinforcements have arrived at the Zitong realm, and they will probably be able to rush to the city of Zitong tomorrow."
"Can you tell me the path of the march and me!?"
When Huang Quan heard this, his face changed again, and he asked Meng You anxiously. Meng You was quite hesitant, this march path was very important, Huang Quan was an outsider after all, if he had any evil intentions, it would be beyond his reach. Huang Quan saw that Meng You's face was embarrassed, and knew what he was thinking, so he hurriedly said.
"If Huang is a person, how can General Meng not know. Moreover, if my lord had the intention of causing harm, he would not have sent me and General Ma to help. This matter is extremely urgent, and I hope General Meng will not be suspicious!! ”
Meng You's face changed for a while, staring at Huang Quan deadly, seeing that his eyes were calm, he gritted his teeth suddenly, and finally told Dong Chana's marching path. Huang Quan listened carefully, and when he heard that Dong Cha was about to take the wolf needle forest and leave, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed.
"Not good! The wolf's needle forest, dense with trees and overgrown weeds, and the weather is extremely dry in the early summer, if the other army sets up an ambush and burns it there, your reinforcements will be wiped out, and none of them will remain!! ”
Huang Quan exclaimed, so frightened that Meng You immediately seemed to be flying away, came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked sharply.
"Huang Gong can be sure of this matter!?"
"Northwest thieves, who have been so strange for days, must have deliberately diverted our attention. As far as I can see, nine times out of ten in the northwest, an ambush has been set up in the wolf needle forest at this time!! ”
When Meng You heard this, he hurriedly called Huang Quan to report to Meng Shu with him. Huang Quan suppressed his panic, so he and Meng You rushed out of the mansion and rushed to the county government in the city to see Meng Huo.
After a while, Meng You and Huang Quan hurried to the county office, at this time, Meng Shu, Ma Chao and a group of barbarian generals were drinking for fun, and almost all they were talking about was the fierce battle between Ma Chao and Zhao Yun in the past few days. Seeing this, Huang Quan shook his head and sighed. Meng You rushed into the banquet and told Meng what Huang Quan expected.
Let's say that after Dong Chana rushed back to Nanban, he quickly transferred troops and horses for several days, gathered 20,000 barbarian soldiers, and Wang Zitong rushed over. It was nearly a month before and after, and at this time, Dong Chana led 20,000 reinforcements to enter the realm of Zitong, and was heading to Zitong City, and rushed to a dense forest.
I saw that the dense forest was pitch black, with trees mixed together, and a few wolf roars were heard from time to time. But when the 20,000 barbarians heard this, they were not afraid. The people of the Southern Barbarians, the folk customs are fierce, most of them make a living by hunting, and often fight with the evil beasts of the mountains and forests, so they are naturally not afraid of these evil wolves. The guide officer was a Han Chinese, and when he heard the wolf's roar, his face was as frightened as earth, and he hurriedly said to Dong Chana.
"General, in front of this is the Wolf Needle Forest, and there are countless vicious wolves in this forest, often attacking people in groups, each group has dozens of horses, and many are hundreds. The government has sent troops to crusade several times, but many of them have been injured by these wolves, and finally this wolf needle forest was listed as a forbidden place. In my opinion, the general still took a detour, and there was a small road ten miles away in the southeast direction, which led to Zitong City, and it would not take a little more time. ”
When Dong Cha heard this, he grinned, and the barbarians behind him also laughed. Each used the language of the Southern Barbarians, making fun of the Han guide who was a gutsless rat. After a burst of laughter, Dong Cha said angrily with a cold face, and the Han guide officer.
"Humph! What are the wolves afraid of!? I, the people of the Southern Barbarians, have fought with evil beasts since childhood, and the fierce tigers and giant bears have also killed a lot. Many of them are more proficient in the way of repelling beasts!! If these wolves really dare to attack, it will be just right, and we will have a full meal!! What's more, now that the military situation in Zitong City is urgent, how can there be time to delay!! ”
After Dong Cha finished drinking, he didn't wait for the guide officer to answer, and urged the army to go. Tens of thousands of barbarians immediately swarmed into the wolf needle forest. I saw that in the dense forest, there were crowds of people, and they were densely packed with human figures. Dong Cha walked all the way, his evil eyes glowing with a ghostly light, and he clutched the hammer tightly with one hand, as if he was looking forward to a wolf pack attacking.
Half an hour later, the barbarians had walked most of the distance, but still no wolves had attacked. The Han guide felt weird, and hurriedly drove his horse to Dong Cha and said in a hurry.
"General, slow down!! Something goes wrong!! ”
When Dong Cha heard this, he suddenly reined in the horse, calmed his face, turned to look, and asked in a cold voice.
"What's the matter!?"
"There are at least thousands of wolves in this forest, but if they smell a man, they will come and attack them in a frenzy. Now our army has entered the dense forest for more than half the way, but there is no movement. This is really weird, the general must be on guard!! ”
The Han guide said hurriedly, but Dong Cha heard this, but he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!! The so-called one thing descends one thing. We are the heroes of the Southern Barbarians, who have been hunting for food for a living since childhood, but these beasts know that we are powerful, so they can't avoid them!! ”
As soon as Dong Cha's words fell, suddenly, two cannons rang out. In the distance on both sides of the dense forest, the fires were shining, and at first glance, thousands of them were flickering. Suddenly, countless bowstrings burst into flames, and the flames leaped and fell. Suddenly, the sulfur flame nitrate hidden in the weeds of the dense forest ignited pieces of flames. Suddenly, the fire raged and spread rapidly, and the entire dense forest was illuminated by the fire as if it were day. Dong Cha's surprised and frightened face, which was particularly clearly illuminated by the firelight, suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat. Dong Cha shouted, and the barbarians rushed forward as soon as they looked ahead, and the fires on both sides continued to spread, and soon burned the surroundings into a sea of fire. The barbarians trampled on each other, pushed each other, and killed countless people. Many brutes crashed into the fire in a panic and were killed to the ground. Pieces of terrible screams continued to sound, like hell on earth. As the fire became more and more violent, Dong Cha didn't care about commanding the soldiers and horses, led a henchman to ride, rushed into flames, and just rushed out of the forest mouth, a loud shout on the side, Wei Yan led the army to rush to the melee, the defeated army fled for their lives, who was willing to turn around and fight. Dong Chana was running in a hurry, Wei Yan suddenly rushed out, and a hideous and vicious tiger face was illuminated extremely clearly by the red fire. Wei Yanyuan glared at the tiger, raised his evil eyebrows, and stabbed at Dong Chana diagonally, and slashed at his neck with a knife in his hand. Dong Chana was caught off guard, and before he could raise the sledgehammer in his hand, Wei Yan's dragon Jiao big knife suddenly slashed, and with a knife flew by, a bloody Linlin's head flew into the sky, bringing a burst of blood rain. Wei Yan was drenched in the rain of blood, turned his horse, slashed left and right with the big knife, rushed for a while, and suddenly looked at it with one hand, just catching Dong Chana's head. The barbarians saw that the bloody head in Wei Yan's hand was the commander of the army, and they were so frightened that they fled in embarrassment. Wei Yan led the army to fight, and ordered the soldiers to force the barbarians back into the dense forest, and the Northwest Army held a spear with a handle, lined up like a reed column, and pressed over in all directions. The brutes fought in a hurry, and most of them were killed, and soon they were resisted, and they all retreated into the dense forest.
The Dao Dao fire flew into the sky, and most of the entire Wolf Needle Forest was swallowed by the fire, and I don't know how many barbarians were really in the sea of fire. Even if the people who were able to escape the fire doom, as soon as they came out of the forest mouth, there were countless forest guns ushered in, and more and more corpses were piled up in front of the forest mouth, and the corpses overlapped, like small dirt slopes, which made people shudder. Wei Yan led the army to kill in Linkou, like the black and white impermanence of the underworld, leading a group
IU ghost snake god.
And just two hours ago, in Zitong City. Meng Huo's face turned pale, and he shouted with all his might.
"How can this be!? If the thieves in the northwest really set up an ambush in the wolf needle forest, with the strength of our army, even if they go to the rescue, it will be useless!! What's more, Wen Bufan is so cunning, how can he be unprepared!! ”
Meng Huo was so anxious that he was like a fire all over his body, Huang Quan's expression froze, and he spoke sharply and admonished Meng Huo.
"In my opinion, we should send an elite army as soon as possible, led by General Ma, and if we encounter obstacles, we don't have to fight hard with them, and we can break through. With the bravery of General Ma, this matter is not difficult. After General Ma broke through, he rushed to the Wolf Needle Forest, stopped Dong Cha's reinforcements from the cave master, and told him about the plan of the thieves in the northwest, so that he could have no worries. ”
Huang Quan was very calm, and when Meng Yu heard this, he hurriedly turned to Ma Chao. Ma Chao stood up, his lion's eyes shimmered, and he said in a condensed voice.
"It's easy for me. The king doesn't have to worry too much, and the super will definitely live up to his life. ”
Meng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Ma Chao to move quickly. Before Ma Chao left, he said to Meng again.
"I'm afraid that the cave master of Dong Cha is not familiar with me, and I ask General Meng You to go with me."
Meng was justified in hearing this, so he ordered Meng You to go with him. Meng You received the order, so he went out with Ma Chao, ordered the soldiers and horses, and looked at the wolf needle forest and left. The situation was urgent, and the two did not dare to slack off, urging the army to move quickly. As soon as he arrived at a valley mouth, Meng You suddenly stopped his horse and said to Ma Chao.
"General Ma's terrain here is steep, and there are many soldiers and horses walking around, so it is advisable to prevent an ambush."
Ma Chao frowned when he heard this, knowing that there were many wise and resourceful people in the Northwest Army, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he ordered the soldiers and horses to be cautious at the moment. The soldiers obeyed the order, and marched forward with fear, and spent a great time crossing the valley, but there was no ambush. Seeing this, Ma Chao hurriedly urged the army to move quickly, and hurried all the way. After a while, Meng You stopped his horse again, pointed to the dirt slope in front of him, and said to Ma Chao.
"In the dirt slope in front of General Ma, there are faint banners and figures, I am afraid that there will be an ambush army, so it is better to take a detour!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he saw that there were many banner figures around the dirt slope, and he was shocked, and hurriedly rushed back to the formation and asked the guide officer.
"How long will it take if I take a detour!?"
When the guide officer heard this, he hurriedly said to Ma Chao.
"Returning to the general, if you want to make a detour, you can go to the mountains and forests ten miles away in the southeast, but the terrain there is steep and the road is bumpy, and it will take at least half a day. When I arrived at the wolf needle forest, I was afraid that it was already dawn. ”
When Ma Chao heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted in a condensed voice.
"Now if our army is in urgent need, how can it take such time. The whole army listens to the order and prepares for war!! ”
As soon as Ma Chao shouted, Meng You also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't persuade him more, and commanded the soldiers and horses to march with Ma Chao. Ma Chaojun walked slowly, and when he saw that he was about to reach the dirt slope, all the sergeants were ready to fight. But strangely, there was no movement on the dirt slope. Ma Chao squinted at the lion's eyes, suddenly his face changed, he patted the horses, galloped up the hillside, but saw that the figures everywhere were grass men. Ma Chao was so angry that he knew what he was planning, and after a lot of delays, he hurriedly rushed back to the formation and urged the army to advance quickly. When Ma Chao rushed to the wolf needle forest more than ten miles away, there was a sudden loud noise, and Zhang Tian's flames surged in the distance, and bursts of shouts and killings broke out one after another. When Meng You heard this, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he screamed miserably.
"Not good!! Our reinforcements are in danger!! ”
Seeing that the fire was higher than the other, the distance turned into a raging sea of fire, and the red flames shone as bright as day. Ma Chao's face suddenly became extremely dark, thinking that it was difficult to save it now, and as soon as he reined in the horses, he wanted to order the soldiers to retreat to the city. Seeing this, Meng You hurriedly asked.
"What does General Ma mean by this!?
