Chapter 465: Defeat Meng Shu again
The battle book was sent by Meng Huo, accompanied by Meng Huo's oath, in this battle, Meng Huo wanted to capture Liu Yi alive, but he would not kill him, but would let him go, which was regarded as repaying the grace of the previous four captures and four releases.
"This Meng is ......" Liu Yi shook his head, glanced at the bamboo slip and handed it to Ma Jian and smiled: "This time it's a little arrogant." ”
Ma Jian put down the bamboo slips, thought for a while, and said: "The person Meng Shu relies on is probably the beast herd in the Ba Na Cave, can Mo Hou have a way to crack it?" ”
"Yes, it was originally for another army of soldiers and horses, but now that we have caught up, let's clean them up first!" Liu Yi nodded, as for the rattan armor soldiers...... I don't know if it's coming, but for now, it's better to deal with the herd first.
Ma Jian naturally didn't know which soldiers and horses could make Liu Yi pay so much attention to this southern land, but since Liu Yi had specially designed weapons for this group of men and horses, it was not easy to deal with, but at the moment, dealing with the beasts was the most important thing.
"Meng has a lot of soldiers and horses this time, and those barbarian troops seem to have some weather, and now they are taking the initiative to fight, although the beasts are powerful, but there are not too many observations." Huang Zhong frowned and pondered: "But since the barbarian army has no naval army, why don't our ships go up the river and harass the rear of the enemy army, causing it to disarray itself?" ”
Although there is some military discipline, but the last time Meng was defeated, it was not just a pot of military discipline, improper command was the biggest problem, Huang Zhong wanted to repeat the old tricks, and once again flank the front and back, so that the other party could mess up.
"You can give it a try, but don't expect too much." Liu Yi didn't refute either, this improvised patchwork navy would definitely not be able to beat the regular navy, but in the establishment of the barbarian army, there was obviously no navy, this was a blank area, which could just be played, even if it was an irregular navy, it was better than nothing.
Liu Yi asked the generals to prepare to meet the enemy, and he went to command the craftsmen to assemble the wooden beasts, these things had been prepared long before entering Nanzhong, all the way from Zhu Tila to Jianning, and from Jianning to Yunnan, a lot of effort was wasted, and now it can finally come in handy.
If you really want to set fire, rush into the enemy camp and bring some torches and hay, why bother so much, it is only in the land of Nanzhong, it is made for the special Keteng armor soldiers and these brute beasts, which has become a sharp weapon on the battlefield.
In one night, thirty Trap Wood Beasts have been assembled, and a lot of fire oil is filled inside, and if it is accidentally detonated, it will also be a catastrophic blow to your own side.
Early the next morning, Meng Shu had already commanded the army with great momentum, shouting and scolding outside the camp, Liu Yi led the generals out of the camp, the soldiers of the three armies slowly opened the formation outside the camp, thirty wooden beasts were driven by craftsmen, as the army slowly climbed into the battlefield, according to Liu Yi's instructions, lined up in front of the army, these wooden beasts have organs involved, some are similar to the legendary wooden ox flowing horses, but if they move, they need to be operated, but Rao is so, no need for people to pull, wooden beasts that can move on their own, still make many people look sideways.
"What's that!?" Meng Shu was ordering people to shout and curse in front of the formation, and suddenly a large number of wooden beasts came out of the opposing army, a little surprised, and he had never heard of a wooden beast that could move around on his own.
The surrounding barbarians looked at each other, how could they know why the wood beasts on the other side moved on their own, and shook their heads blankly.
"The king doesn't have to worry, it's just a few dozen wooden beasts, I think those wooden beasts are slow, even if they are really used to charge into battle, what's the point?" King Mulu looked at the wooden beasts in the enemy's array, shook his head and smiled, he had enough confidence in his ability to resist beasts.
Hearing this, Meng Shu nodded, looked at the enemy formation, patted the war horse that sat down, his previous curly-haired red rabbit was killed by Huang Zhong with an arrow, and now he has changed to an ordinary war horse, and it is extremely awkward to sit on the horseback.
The range of the Han army's bow and arrow was extremely long, Meng Shu didn't dare to get too close, separated by a distance of one hundred and forty or fifty steps, took a deep breath, and almost roared at the other party: "Liu Yi, today, this king will definitely capture you alive, if you still care about the lives of your soldiers, you can quickly withdraw from Yunnan, this king can promise you that there will be no more incidents!" ”
"What did he say?" Liu Yi rubbed his ears, it was too far away, and he only heard Meng Shu roaring over there, what did he say, Liu Yi didn't hear it, and looked back left and right.
Zhao Guang and Guan Xing shook their heads, they didn't hear much clearly, Zhang Bao turned around and said, "It seems that he wants to capture Mohou alive?" In the end, Zhang Bao was also a little unsure, he didn't hear the second half of Meng Shu clearly, and the noise was too loud.
"This Meng got ...... Alas, the will is rampant! Liu Yi shook his head, a little disappointed: "Since he wants to fight, then let's fight, beat the drums!" ”
"Whoa!" The herald agreed, waved the command flag, and directed the drummers to start playing and preparing for battle.
For a while, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and in the desolate trumpet, the rumbling war drums sounded with a heart-stirring force, spreading far away.
In front of the opposite formation, Meng Shu heard the sound of the other party's drums and trumpets, his face became ugly, he had a lot of contact with the Han people, and knew that this was the sound of drums and trumpets of the Han army preparing to fight, so he stopped talking nonsense with Liu Yi at the moment, turned the horse's head, returned to the main formation, looked at the king of Mulu and said: "Brother Mulu, next, I will hand it over to you!" I'm in charge of commanding the three armies to charge, please let those bison start charging! ”
"Good!" King Mulu had no intention of reconciling with Liu Yi, otherwise he would have brought so many family members here, would it be difficult to come and see the excitement?
At the strange sound of the horn, three hundred bison were driven to the front of the battle, and in the strange rhythm, the eyes of the bison had begun to turn red.
Just the sound, naturally it will not make the bison so, but with some drugs mixed with the previous forage, with this horn sound, it can stimulate the bison to enter a manic state.
A bison swayed its hooves and began to charge towards the opposite military formation, Meng Shu immediately ordered the most elite soldiers and horses he had trained during this period of time to line up in front, followed by the bison formation to rush forward, and the soldiers and horses in the rear were chaotically following up, those untrained barbarians and trained barbarian troops, the gap came out at this time, not to mention well-trained, but at least those trained barbarian troops, between advance and retreat, can make Meng Shu feel handy, as for the barbarian army in the rear, most of them are the people of the Mulu King, Meng was able to command, but it was obviously not as good as these trained brute troops.
Huang Zhong's fleet began to swim up the Xi'er River, firing arrows at the barbarians on the shore from afar, creating chaos in the rear.
In front of the two armies, more than 300 bison have gradually begun to run, although they have not fully accelerated, but the momentum is suffocating!
Liu Yi nodded to Zhang Bao beside him, Zhang Bao understood, quickly waved the order flag, rows of soldiers carried hay and fire oil to the front of the formation, and threw bundles of hay in front of the formation, forming a line, and the soldiers in the rear came up and poured a jar of fire oil on it, it is complicated to say, in fact, there are two rows of people, one row throws the hay on the ground, and the other row directly pours the fire oil out, sprinkles it in one breath and then runs back, at this time, the acceleration process of the bison has ended, although it is still dozens of steps apart, but such a little distance, Maybe it's just a breath or two.
A suppressed aura came to his face, and those barbarian troops in the rear also launched a charge, Liu Yi pulled out the sword at his waist and raised it high, and said loudly: "All fire beasts, listen to my orders!" ”
There is a delay time for the fire beast to breathe fire, but it can't be set on fire immediately, prematurely ignite the flames, it will only make the bison fearful, it will slow them down, what Liu Yi wants is to startle these bison and let them charge in the opposite direction, which requires a grasp of the timing, the speed of the bison is just right to rise up at the moment before it is about to reach the line of fire, and with the sound of the gong, it should make the bison turn back and sprint.
It's just a breath or two, but it feels incredibly long.
"Put!" Liu Yi's sword fell back fiercely, almost at the same time, a craftsman in charge of manipulating the fire beast mechanism moved the machine, there was a ignition device at the beast's mouth, Liu Yi had done experiments, the success rate was more than 99 percent, and the delay time was about one second.
"Whew~"
Thirty tongues of fire erupted almost simultaneously, and the hay doused with fire oil in front of the battle burst into flames with a loud roar, forming a huge wall of fire.
"Boom~" A few bison couldn't stop, and rushed in directly through the line of fire, but their buttocks were facing this side, and their four hooves were still moving and pulling back.
More than a dozen soldiers in the front row were knocked away, but those fire bulls on fire rushed back like crazy, many bison directly collided together, the scene was a little chaotic, Liu Yi was separated by the wall of fire, and he couldn't see clearly, but the bison array was obviously blocked, Liu Yi immediately shouted: "Soldiers of the three armies, kill!" ”
"Kill!" Yan Yan, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Yang Ren, Chen Ergou each raised their weapons, commanded their respective soldiers, roared and rushed out in front of them, the wall of fire was not wide, a famous soldier roared and rushed through the wall of fire, the scene in front of him was shocking, many cattle collided together, the flesh and blood were blurred, and some went crazy directly and rushed towards the direction of the barbarians.
In the face of such a scene, Meng Shu was also a little dumbfounded, seeing that the originally strict formation was shattered under the impact of these bison, the Han soldiers who followed him didn't care about these, they slashed with their knives, and the front army formation was fragmented, and the barbarians in the rear had not yet pressed up, and the barbarians in front had fled in embarrassment, and there were bison rampaging with the nose of the plane in the middle, and the scene was so chaotic that it was unbelievable.
"Let's go!" Meng Shu saw that it was wrong, his face changed greatly, he didn't want to be captured by Liu Yi again, and this kind of rout has been achieved, according to his experience, it is difficult for him to turn the tide, take the people who can be taken away at the moment, and swarm with the rout to kill backwards.
"Wait for me, my lord!" King Mulu was a little dumbfounded, this script was not quite right, the most important thing was that he sat down and looked mighty on the white elephant, but it was not his specialty to escape!
