Chapter 159: Six Captures of Meng Shu

The Han army was overjoyed when they saw the people riding on the ox, this is an old friend, he has been captured many times, he has not repented repeatedly, he has a thick skin, and he has no one who has surpassed his right throughout the ages. ΩΔ New Pen Fun 』』 Pavilion ん.

When Meng Shu saw the Han army surrounding, he consciously chose to be silent, threw the big knife in his hand, and let him dispose of it.

Cao Cao looked at Meng Huo, who was tied up, and said loudly: "Quickly loosen the tie, let the barbarian king leave, and if you meet the barbarian king in the future, you can't rope yourself." ”

Meng Shu saw that Cao Cao didn't ask a word, so he let himself go, ashamed and landless, thinking for a long time, he didn't have the face to see King Mulu again, he identified the direction, and went towards the dove department, with the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

The king of Mulu fled back to the cave in embarrassment, checked the people and horses, went to eight pavilions in the ten pavilions, the beasts that were domesticated with hard work, only a dozen elephants still had a conscience, and did not follow the trend and ran away, the king of Mulu asked people to look for Meng Huo, and wanted to take it out of his evil spirit, and the barbarian who saw Meng Huo said: "After the battle, I saw Meng Huo riding a red-haired ox and running to the Han army array. ”

"What?" King Mulu was stunned, "This damn Meng Shu turned out to be colluding with the Han army, let me see it next time, I have to kill this guy." ”

The vitality of the Minpu tribe was greatly damaged, Cao Cao sent a messenger to explain the situation, soothe the king of Mulu with kind words, and suggested that he should learn from the king of Duosi and the lord of Yangfeng cave, let the clansmen move to the plains to live, and improve the living environment of the clansmen.

When King Mulu heard that Meng Huo was captured by the Han army, he still did not repent, and secretly regretted how he met such a faceless guy. For what the Han army envoy said, he was skeptical, and sent his own people to go to the Bald Dragon Cave and Yinkeng Cave to investigate the field.

Cao Cao was also helpless about King Mulu's suspicion, so he had to leave some people to wait, lead the army, follow Meng Shu's footsteps, and rush to the dove department.

The dove department called itself the country of Ugo, the lord of the country is a vulture bone, two feet tall, does not eat grains, feeds on snakes and beasts, has scales and armor, and cannot hurt half a single point with swords, guns and arrows. There are 30,000 soldiers under his command, all wearing rattan armor. The vine was born in the mountain stream, coiled on the stone wall. The people of Ugo picked it, soaked it in oil, took it out and dried it in half a year, and then soaked it in oil, and so on more than a dozen times, and made it into a rattan armor. The rattan armor is lightweight, worn on the body, crossing the river is not sinking, the water is not wet, the knife and arrow are not in, and it is a treasure. Therefore, the vulture named his army as a vine armor soldier, although the number was small, and he did not dare to attack from far and near.

Meng Shu came to the dove tribe and met the vultures, all of whom lived in caves and did not know what the houses were.

Meng Huo saw the abrupt bones, crying loudly, although the abrupt bones are vicious, but the heart is soft, seeing Meng Huo an old man, he couldn't stop crying, grabbed him and asked: "The barbarian king is not enjoying the blessings in Dianchi, why did he come to my Ugo country to mourn and cry?" ”

Meng Shu sobbed and said: "Pity my homeland, which was razed to the ground by the Han army, and I was able to fight to the death, so I came to inform you." The Han army has now leveled the Minpu Department, and the King of Mulu doesn't know how to live and die? It is estimated that the next target of the Han army is the country of Ugo, and I came here at the risk of death to remind the lord of the country to prepare early. ”

The vulture bone was straight, and he was furious when he heard this, "The barbarian king doesn't need to cry, if the Han army doesn't come, if he wants to come, let him have no return." ”

Meng Shu smiled secretly and said to the vulture: "The lord of the country has arranged manpower to listen to the news, I guess that the Han army will arrive in a few days." ”

The vulture said: "What the barbarian king said is that I will arrange people to investigate the news of the Han army. ”

Sure enough, in less than three days, the spy 6 of the Ugo country continued to return to the mountain and said: The Han army came along the blue water, and is currently close to our country and has set up a camp.

The vulture bone was furious, lit up 30,000 rattan armor soldiers, and killed the Han army with great momentum.

The vulture bone rode on the elephant, wore the sun and moon wolf beard hat, and was covered with gold beads, revealing his ribs, and the scale armor under the ribs shone until the Han army challenged Dazhai.

Cao Cao saw that the rattan armor soldiers had a fierce face and were not humanoid, so he decided to try his army's combat strength first, and let Zhang Wei fight.

Zhang Wei got out of the horse, saw the vultures, urged the elephant, and went straight to kill. Zhang Wei jumped on the horse with a spear, attacked on his back, the vulture bone was infinitely powerful, waved the mace, condescending, and smashed towards Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei led the horse to dodge, but the mount of the vulture bone moved, and the elephant's long trunk was rolled, extremely flexible, and entangled Zhang Wei's spear. Zhang Wei was frightened and struggled to get it, how can manpower be compared with the elephant, the elephant shook its long trunk, Zhang Wei almost fell off the horse, and had to give up the spear, beat the horse and fled.

The vulture bones ordered the army to charge, and the Han soldiers fought desperately, but the soldiers were not afraid of swords and arrows, and the Han army suffered countless casualties, so they had to flee back to the camp.

Cao Cao saw that the rattan armor soldiers were powerful, so he had to strictly guard the camp and spill the iron thistle.

The vulture was victorious, and he stopped not far from the Han army camp to confront the Han army.

Cao Cao went out of the camp, inspected the terrain, and thought about how to break the enemy. remembered that Liu Ze said that the rattan armor was wonderful and could be attacked by fire, but in this way, it was impossible to obtain the rattan armor. Therefore, while checking, I thought about how to trap the enemy army, force it to surrender, and obtain the rattan armor.

Liu Zhen and Cao Zhang accompanied Cao Cao, crossed the Lancang water, and saw that the mountains were surrounded, there was a valley in the middle, which was winding and winding, and the cliffs on both sides were towering, which were used for ambushes, and the terrain was excellent. Let the soldiers find the natives and learn the name of the valley: Snake Valley.

Cao Cao had a plan, returned to the camp, beat the drums to gather the generals, and said loudly: "Zhang Ren, Wang Ping, Ma Feng, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Yi listen to the order." ”

The generals lowered their hands together and said, "Please give orders to Duke Cao." ”

Cao Cao said: "Early tomorrow morning, the army will pull out the village and cross the Lancang water, and the people of Ugo will come to chase after it." You wait for five people, each with 5,000 men and horses, take turns to resist, abandon a camp in one day, and lure it into the Valley of the Snake, which is not a small achievement. ”

The five of them received the order together, and Cao Cao glanced around, "The rest of the generals, follow me to the Snake Valley to set up an ambush, remember, this battle is not about killing or wounding, but about trapping the vine armor soldiers for my use." ”

The Han army quietly withdrew the next day, and the vulture bone was still sleeping, and the spy told him that the vulture bone was overjoyed and said to Meng Shu: "The Han army is afraid and does not dare to fight again." ”

Meng Shu said: "The lord of the country is extremely brave, and the rattan armor soldiers are unparalleled. The lord of the country led the troops to pursue, and did not let the Han army breathe. It's just that the lord of the country remembered that the Han army was cunning and told the soldiers not to enter the forest, be cautious when encountering the mountains, and beware of ambushes. ”

The vulture bone said: "The barbarian king is really resourceful, so please remind the barbarian king by the side, and the Han army will be annihilated." ”

Meng Shu said: "In the internal matter, the lord of the country will help me take revenge, do you dare to do your best?" ”

The vultures ordered Tu'an and Xi Ni to chase after each with 10,000 horses, and he and Meng were postponed. The barbarians came to Lancangshui, took off the rattan armor, and floated on the water, and the barbarians sat on the rattan armor, used the sword and shield as oars, and rowed to the opposite shore in a chaotic manner.

Tu'an went ashore first, and saw Zhang Ren leading 5,000 men and horses not far from the shore, shouting, and swarming towards the Han army. Zhang Ren patted his horse and danced his spear to take Tu'an directly, fought a few times, and saw that it was difficult for the soldiers to compete with the rattan armor soldiers, so he gave up Tu'an, stabbed dozens of barbarians to death, and fled with men and horses. Seeing this, Tu'an struggled to catch up.

When Zhang Ren was running, he saw Wang Ping, and Wang Ping said loudly: "General Zhang, not far ahead, there is a new camp, you can rest for a while." ”

Zhang Ren went, Wang Ping blocked the way of the brute soldiers, Tu'an struggled forward to fight, Wang Ping caught it, less than Sanhe, seized the opportunity, and cut Tu'an's neck with a knife. When the barbarians saw it, they surrounded Wang Ping and sacrificed their lives to fight, but Wang Ping had no choice but to run away.

When the rear army heard that Tu'an had died, they hurriedly informed the vulture bone, and the vulture bone was furious and came to the front army in person to command the battle.

After the vulture came, Wang Ping ran away early, so he had to continue the pursuit. Turning the hillside, I saw that in the woods on both sides, the flags were planted obliquely, and the light of the sword was revealed from time to time, and I couldn't help but say to Meng Shu: "The barbarian king clearly sees that there are indeed ambushes in the forest. ”

Meng Shu said: "As long as the army does not enter the woods, in the flat land, how can the Han army be the opponent of the vine armor soldiers?" ”

The vultures laughed loudly and led the army straight forward, and the camp in front blocked the way. The vulture asked Meng Shu, "What should I do?" ”

Meng Shu said: "The morale of the Han army is depressed, the lord of the country attacks with his army, and breaks the camp, see how the Han army relies on it?" ”

The rattan armor soldiers swarmed forward, the camp was extremely unstable, and the barbarians fell down as soon as they pushed it, and entered the big camp, where there was a figure in the emptiness.

The vulture looked up to the sky and laughed, "The Han army is cowardly and chasing." ”

Meng Shu said: "Lord, it is almost late, so that the army can rest, and it is not too late to chase tomorrow." It's dark and your vision is unclear, don't fall into the trap of the Han army. ”

The vulture said, "Reasonable. ”

In this way, Ma Feng, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Yi fought again and again, and in less than ten days, seven camps were abandoned in a row, and the Han army lost 14 games in a row, discarding countless swords, guns, and armor. The vulture became more arrogant, and led the troops to the front of the Snake Valley.

Meng Shu said: "Lord, this valley is extremely dangerous, and the army must not enter. ”

The vultures said: "This valley is called the Valley of the Snake, and the mouth of the valley is Sanjiang City in front of it, and it is not a dead end. The Han army must be running away along the valley, so why worry? ”

Meng Shu said: "Cao Mengde is treacherous and has no way to use his troops, so you need to be careful of his ambush." ”

The vulture said: "Since the barbarian king is worried, send a few more spies to check it out." ”

Meng Shu said: "This is very good, the army must not move lightly. ”

After half a day's work, the spy came back, "My lord, the valley is full of discarded knives, guns, flags, and horseshoe prints, presumably the Han army has already fled far." ”

After a while, another spy flew over and said loudly: "Lord of the country, more than ten miles ahead, I saw the Han army vehicle, the rut was deep, and there were only thousands of Han soldiers to take care of it. You must be tired from walking, so you should rest on the spot. ”

The vulture bone looked at Meng Shu and said, "Barbarian King, what do you think? ”

Meng Shu said: "On both sides of the valley, have you ever explored? ”

The spy said, "The cliffs on both sides of the valley are high and difficult to climb. ”

Meng Shu said: "Take a detour to the mountain, and only then can you enter the army." ”

The vulture was helpless, so he had to send someone to investigate again, dragging it around, and it was slowly getting dark. At night, the vulture ordered a bonfire to be lit and waited for the spies to return.

At night in the mountains, the beasts hissed and the night owls cried, which made people creepy. After the army had finished dinner, the spies stumbled in and said abruptly, "Why are you so embarrassed? ”

A spy said: "On both sides of the cliffs, trees are growing, there are many poisonous insects inside, and fierce beasts are infested from time to time. There were more than 100 of us, many of whom were attacked by poisonous snakes, and we came back. ”

The vulture looked at Meng Huo's eyes, obviously unkind, and said hesitantly: "Go down and rest." With such terrain, why did the Han army ambush its troops? Command the army to pursue early tomorrow morning. ”
