Chapter 273: Xi Zhicai used his tricks again The Southern Barbarian King was captured for the second time
While everyone was cheering because the drinking water problem had been solved, the scouts outside the camp caught a hunter and said that he was a hunter in the mountains!
In this way, Xi Zhong and the others knew that because of the perennial miasma in this mountain, four poisonous springs were formed, namely the Dumb Spring, the Black Spring, the Soft Spring and the Extinction Spring!
And if these four poisonous springs are drunk by those who do not know the secret in them, they will definitely die, and even if the local people accidentally drink them, they still need to take the herbs left by the hermits in the mountains before to be cured!
Originally, the soldiers complained about Liu Bei's killing of 200 soldiers. However, Liu Bei's personal test of the well water dissipated all the complaints, and he was much more loyal. And now the hunter's words made the soldiers understand Liu Bei's approach.
Liu Bei was quite satisfied when he saw this, as for the hermit in the mountains that the hunter said, Liu Bei didn't care very much.
After sending the Orion away, Xi Zhong said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I couldn't understand why Meng Huo had such confidence that he could resist the Lord's army of 100,000.
Now it seems that the idea is to hit these four poisonous springs, presumably to use these four poisonous springs to weaken the military strength of the lord or completely annihilate the lord, so as to block the lord's advance!
It's just that they didn't expect that the four poisonous springs were easily dissolved by the lord! ”
Liu Bei smiled and nodded: "This time is also a coincidence, if it weren't for the incident of the poisonous lake in Jiaozhou before, I wouldn't have thought of it, and now it's God bless my big man!" ”
"That's true, at this time, the matter of our army's drinking water has been resolved, and Meng Shu must be ambushed somewhere to deal a fatal blow to our army, so if the lord is like this, he will be able to encircle and annihilate Meng Shu!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and then Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Huang Xu, Gao Shun, and He Ting led 50,000 trapped troops as the whole army, and Xi Zhong was the military advisor, and all actions should be obeyed by Xi Zhong!
And Liu Bei personally led an army of 50,000 as the rear army, and Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Huang Xu and Chen Zhi as generals, and set off only after Xizhong marched five miles!
…………
On this day, Meng Huo, Meng You, Mrs. Zhurong and King Duosi were waiting in ambush at the exit of the valley!
A scout hurriedly ran to King Duosi and said, "King, Liu Bei's army drank the water of Rouquan in the mountains by mistake, and now only 50,000 troops have come out of the valley. ”
"Oh, an army of fifty thousand? What is the state of this army? King Duosi frowned slightly and said!
"Back to the king, a small half of the 50,000 army is driven by other people, and the rest of the people are swaying and weak when they walk!"
At this point, King Duosi stretched his brows, and then said to himself: "This is the right situation!" ”
And Meng Shu beside him admonished: "Liu Bei is extremely treacherous, the king should be careful with his tricks!" ”
King Duosi nodded constantly when he heard this, but he said rather carelessly: "With these four poisonous springs, no matter how treacherous Liu Bei is, he will definitely return in vain!"
What's more, we have 50,000 troops ambushed here, even if Liu Bei has 50,000 elite people, what can I do? ”
Although Meng Shu felt that it made sense, he still asked the scout with some concern: "Earlier it was said that Liu Bei only had 50,000 troops out of the camp and came to the valley, what about the other 50,000 troops?" ”
"King Yunan, the scout saw Liu Bei's 50,000 troops out of the camp, and Liu Bei's camp did not move for a long time, so he sneaked in to investigate.
But I saw that there were many soldiers carrying and burying the corpses, but they were well guarded, so they didn't go in, but they did find that there were a lot of corpses inside! ”
When Meng heard this, his brows also relaxed, and then he finally put his mind at ease!
Another day later, at the mouth of the valley, a scout was reporting to King Duosi and Meng Shu: "King, King Nanban, the scout in front has come to report that Liu Bei's army is only half a day's journey from the valley!" ”
After another half a day, Meng Shu and the others on the mountainside could see the Liuzi banner fluttering in the valley in the distance, and the soldiers behind the banner were all crooked!
Originally, there were nearly 20,000 cavalry in Liu Bei's army (originally there were only 15,000, but after breaking through Meng You's camp, 5,000 war horses were captured, so it became 20,000!). But now there is not a single horse, and more importantly, there are still a considerable number of people who are being supported.
King Doth had even heard the wailing of the soldiers in the valley from afar!
Seeing this, King Duosi was full of confidence, and after Liu Bei's army entered the ambush circle, he gave an order in his life, and 50,000 barbarian soldiers swarmed down to kill Liu Bei's army!
It's just that to the surprise of King Duosi and Meng Shu, Liu Bei's army was not as defenseless as they had guessed, even though 50,000 barbarians had the advantage and were taken by surprise.
But it only gained the upper hand slightly, and it did not form absolute pressure! So the two armies were caught in a scorching battle in which the brutes had the upper hand!
The trapping army is worthy of Gao Shun's trapping army, in the process of fighting against these 50,000 barbarians, whenever they encounter a critical moment, they can always resolve the crisis again and again with their resilience!
And when Xi Zhong felt that the combat power of the trapped army was too high, and he was afraid of being recognized by Meng Huo and King Duosi, the trapped army took the initiative to put themselves in danger again!
Meng Huo, Meng You, and King Duosi only saw 50,000 barbarians gaining the upper hand, but they didn't see the situation of the trapped army controlling the entire battlefield at all! I didn't know that there was a cavalry of 20,000 horsemen rushing towards the valley!
However, Mrs. Zhurong, who was on the side, seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she didn't think about what was wrong at all!
Just when Mrs. Zhurong was frowning, a sound of vibration sounded in Mrs. Zhurong's ears, and only then did Mrs. Zhurong know that all this was just Liu Bei's plan!
Liu Bei had already seen through the matter of the four poisonous springs in the mountain, and directly resolved the drinking water problem; After that, half of the soldiers pretend to be corpses and wounded, while the other part takes care of the soldiers and buries the corpses, respectively!
In this way, Meng Shu and King Duosi will be proud and despise the enemy. And a plan against Yu Meng Shu and King Duosi has already been formed in Xi Zhong's mind!
Xi Zhong asked the 50,000 trapped soldiers to abandon their armor and support the 50,000 soldiers who arrived one after another to play the appearance of the wounded and poisoned, and then passed the scout of King Duosi! When King Meng Huo and King Duosi appeared, they prepared an army of 100,000 to besiege Meng Huo!
And just as Mrs. Zhurong was about to inform Meng Shu, the cavalry led by Lu Bu and Zhang Fei smashed into the center of the 50,000 barbarians like a sharp knife!
When Xi Zhong saw Lu Bu killing, he naturally would not stop there, but ordered all the trapped soldiers to contain the 50,000 barbarians first, and then the large army had a chance to be completely annihilated.
After that, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei ordered the cavalry to kill the entire barbarian army, and then did not continue to attack the barbarians, but blocked the political and legal commissar Taniguchi with an army of 20,000.
As for the 50,000 barbarians of King Doth who were still in the valley, when they saw the situation on the battlefield, they knew that there was no chance of escaping! So he was ready to fight to the death with Liu Bei!
It's just that everything is in vain, just as King Duosi came back to his senses, a soldier shouted, Liu Bei's 30,000 troops have arrived!
After that, King Doth no longer had the belligerent heart and high spirits he had before. The 30,000 army led by Liu Bei was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, so all the soldiers were thinking about how to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible!!
It's just that under Xi Zhong's strategy, there is almost no chance to escape.
In this way, after the battle was over, Liu Bei knew that Meng Huo, Meng You, and Zhurong's wife were imprisoned one after another!
