Chapter 450: Seeing the Truth in Adversity
"Mohou, General Zhao has evacuated without blood." In Liu Yi's camp, Meng Yan walked quickly to Liu Yi's side and bowed.
"Good!" Liu Yi nodded, stood up and said, "Guan Xing, Zhang Bao!" ”
"The last general!" When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward.
"Zhao Guang has returned to defend the city at this moment, I left two battalions of men and horses in the mountain road, you two immediately rushed to this two camps with my arrows, Meng learned that I cut off his grain road, he will try to cut off my grain road, when he leads the army to attack the walled city, you two from both sides to kill, remember to be careful this time!" Liu Yi looked at the two of them seriously and said in a deep voice.
He cut off Meng Huo's grain road with three battalions, and each battalion had only 3,000 people, but the camp he made was seven or eight thousand people, in order to make Meng Huo think that he had transferred the main force to this side, but in fact, Liu Yi's main force is still on the side of the walled city, in order to get another hand against Meng Huo.
"Whoa!" When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao heard this, they bowed, took Liu Yiling's arrow, turned around and strode away.
"Inform the two generals Huang Zhong and Yang Ren, if Meng Shu goes to attack our walled city, he can immediately send troops to capture Meng Huo's camp, and attack Meng Huo back and forth with the second general Guan Zhang!" Seeing the two leave, Liu Yi handed the two arrows to Meng Yan and said, "Remember, tell the two generals that Meng Yu wants to live!" ”
"Whoa!" Meng Yan took the arrow and took the order.
……
When Meng Shu rushed to the mouth of the valley with the murderous army of the barbarians, the entire camp left for him had already been empty, and in the empty barracks, some utensils that had not been taken away could be seen from time to time, and the other party was obviously in a hurry.
"Then where did Zhao Guang flee to?" Meng Shu came to the enemy tower, looked at the terrain on the other side of the barracks, and frowned.
"It seems that he fled in the direction of the walled city." Brought the cave master down from the gate, and smiled at Meng Huo, the traces of the other party's march were obvious, and it was obviously a temporary decision to withdraw, but thinking about it, the scale of this military camp is only about a thousand people, how can it block the attack of 30,000 Nanban warriors? The cave master couldn't help but smile and said: "Then Zhao Guang is just like that, it's a pity that he let him escape, otherwise he will definitely kill him and avenge the busy elder brother." ”
Although it took not a single soldier to capture this key pass, the barbarian generals did not have much joy after the victory, and the feeling was as if they had punched the cotton hard, and they couldn't tell what it was like, but it was definitely uncomfortable.
Meng Shu nodded and didn't speak, although he also felt that Zhao Guang had enough reasons to flee, but whether it was Zhao Guang's previous strength or the geographical advantage of this camp, the other party had no reason to withdraw easily, and Liu Yi gave Meng Shu the feeling that he was not a person who gave up his advantage so easily, and it was really unreasonable to send a thousand people to garrison such a dangerous place.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Mrs. Zhurong came to Meng Huo's side, and when she saw Meng Huo frowning, she asked with some doubts.
"I don't know, but I always feel like something is wrong." Meng Shu shook his head, looked at Mrs. Zhurong and said, "Madame can send someone to investigate along the grain road, I don't think Liu Yi will give up the grain road so easily." ”
When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, her face became serious, and after nodding, she immediately found a few alert warriors and walked back along her own grain road.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the men who had gone to investigate returned.
"Barbarian king, patriarch, our grain route has been cut off by the other party." The general of Zhurongdong, who went to investigate, said in a deep voice: "And there is more than one, the Han army has set up camps on the three main roads, and depending on the scale, each camp has at least 5,000 people!" ”
"What!?" Mrs. Zhurong and several other generals were shocked when they heard this, and Mrs. Zhurong Huo Ran got up and said, "Husband, we should clean up the grain road immediately, otherwise we will cut off contact with the rear!" ”
When the rest of the cave masters heard this, they also felt that what Mrs. Zhurong said was quite reasonable, and they all nodded and asked for their orders to fight.
"No hurry!" Meng Shu shook his head, looked at Mrs. Zhu Rong, and then looked at the others, shook his head solemnly and said: "The Han people are the best at defending the city, and now they are guarding the main road, if our army goes to attack, it will be broken, and the damage will be heavy!" ”
"But you can't just wait, can you?" A cave master said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha~" Meng Shu thought of something, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
The barbarian generals around were a little puzzled when they saw this, they all burned their eyebrows, how could they still have the heart to laugh? Isn't it stupid?
Mrs. Zhurong was a little worried: "Why is the husband laughing? ”
"I laugh at that Liu Yi has no plan!" Meng Shu shook his head and sneered: "Although he cut off our army's grain route, but the main force was exhausted, but he didn't find that his own grain route would be empty because of this, our army only needs to seize his grain route and seize his city, what if he cuts off our army's grain and grass?" This is Nanzhong, in this endless mountain, there are all ethnic tribes, just send people to Kunchi to pass the word, borrow some grain and grass from the surrounding ethnic groups, enough for us to tide over the difficulties, when the time comes, then Liu Yi will be surrounded by our army, even if he has the ability to pass through the sky, it will be difficult to make a difference! ”
Mrs. Zhu Rong was stunned when she heard this, and the rest of the generals also looked at Meng Huo with admiration, this strategy is really good.
At that moment, Meng was ordered to gather troops and horses from all the cave masters, ignore Liu Yi's three camps, and go straight to Liu Yi's walled city, ready to take down the walled city in one go.
"The barbarian king is really full of wisdom!" Along the way, several cave masters gathered around Meng Shu and complimented him with a smile: "If the barbarian king had moved his troops earlier, when would it be Liu Bei's turn to occupy this land of Sichuan and Shu?" ”
Meng Shu wanted to be modest, but his heart was inexplicably happy, he was still quite confident in his own ability, and laughed loudly: "Don't say that, there are still many powerful people under Liu Bei's command, but this Liu Yi, although he has a great reputation and some ability, he is not worthy of his name...... Hahaha...... Ugh"
A slightly insolent laugh echoed through the mountains, and it was only halfway through the laughter that the sound did come to an abrupt end.
The moment he looked up to the sky and smiled, countless black dots in his vision gradually became clear in the sky.
The sharp sound of breaking the air mixed with the sound of the bowstring trembling had faintly come, making the smile on Meng Shu's face freeze for a moment, and then gradually turn into anger!
In the line of sight, a force composed entirely of barbarian female soldiers came out, led by a white horse and silver helmet, and the entire face was covered by a bronze mask with blue fangs, making people unable to see the face clearly, but judging from the voice, it was actually a woman.
The other side did not rush into battle, but stopped in front of the army, and fired arrows with bows and arrows in this direction.
This is already a mountainous terrain, the road is under the village, many barbarians are shuttling between the forests on both sides, although there are not many people on the other side, but in such a place, it can really block 30,000 barbarian troops.
"Meng Shu, I've let you go once, and Ru'an dares to come again?" Lu Lingqi immediately speared horizontally, and under the cold bronze mask, a pair of bright eyes exuded a breathtaking majesty.
For women as generals, the people of the Southern Barbarians are obviously not as resistant as the Han people, and they do not laugh at it, Meng Shu looked at each other with a solemn expression, and was about to wave his hand to order the soldiers to fight, but when he heard a gong sound in the rear, two teams suddenly killed from both sides, and directly took Meng Huo's army.
Although there are many people and horses in Meng Huo, but at this moment they are squeezed by the mountain road and stretched into a straight line, for a while, it is difficult to gather over, the first two waves of arrow rain, but also shot a lot of unprepared barbarians to the ground, followed by the rush out, Meng Huo's military formation has been completely chaotic, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao two generals are even more direct to Meng Huo.
Meng Shu was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered someone to blow the horn and let the soldiers and horses in the rear come to help, but with such a terrain, mountains and forests on both sides, and the road in the middle is not wide, how can the barbarians in the rear catch up in time.
"I waited for the Han people to calculate, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, the husband will retreat first, and the concubine will help the husband to block them!" Mrs. Zhurong grabbed Meng Huo, who wanted to fight hard, and said in a deep voice.
"Madam, you ......" Meng Shu turned his head and looked at Mrs. Zhurong, since he got married, for the first time, he had an unspeakable love for his wife, although those Han women were good-looking, but when it really came to such a time, who would be willing to break off for him? For him to be born and die?
People's hearts are long, Mrs. Zhu Rong is so desperate for him, Rao is Meng Shu has always resisted Zhu Rong, and at this moment he can't help but feel a sense of guilt and unspeakable friendship, maybe at this moment, Meng Shu really regarded her as his wife.
"Let's go!" Meng Shu picked up the big knife, looked at Zhu Rong and said, "There are many of us, we can kill them!" ”
"Bang~" Mrs. Zhurong didn't say a word, kicked on Meng Shu's horse's buttocks, and the huge force directly kicked the horse out of a few steps, and the horse was frightened, spread its hooves and rushed out of the crowd.
"Warriors of all races, kill with me!" Zhu Rong turned the horse's head, with a wild smile on his face, picked up the Zhangba spear, and did not avoid it, and directly killed the second general Guan Zhang who was killing him, and with a circle of spears in his hand, he actually circled the two of them into the battle circle at the same time.
The two joined forces, which was originally quite powerful, but Mrs. Zhurong's current state seemed to be surprisingly good, and there was a feeling that the more they fought, the more excited they became, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were stunned by this crazy woman, and hurriedly worked together to force Mrs. Zhurong to retreat, and each led the army to continue to attack the barbarian soldiers and horses, not to compete with Mrs. Zhurong.
Mrs. Zhurong was unrelenting, and ran after each other with a few guards.
On the other side, a barbarian general beside Lu Lingqi obviously recognized Meng Shu, and pointed in Meng Shu's direction and said, "General, that's Meng Shu." ”
Lu Lingqi raised her eyes, glanced at the direction in which Meng Shu fled, shook her head and said, "Don't pay attention to him, someone will accept him, follow me first to completely defeat this barbarian army!" ”
"Whoa!"
Lu Lingqi did not directly join the war group, but took the barbarian girl around the mountains and forests, around the rear back and forth, the barbarian army who wanted to support the front army was defeated, and they were defeated, and some barbarians learned the news of Meng Shu's escape, I don't know how many people there are on the other side, they don't want to fight again, kneel on the ground and ask for surrender, after a short stalemate, the barbarians began to have a large-scale rout, until this time, Lu Lingqi gathered the soldiers and horses, let people set off wolf smoke on the mountain, and Zhao Guang in the direction of the city wall will come to collect and surrender the troops, And Lu Lingqi rushed towards the battlefield ahead.
