Chapter 156 Brand Sword Fang Ding Army
Meng Shu came to the Bald Dragon Cave, and King Duosi heard that his old friend was coming, and came out of the cave to greet him. I saw that King Duosi was two feet tall, wearing animal skins, draped long, eyes like copper bells, mouth like blood basins, messy beard hanging on the cheeks, a pair of big hands, as big as a fan, the green tendons on the hands burst out, seeing Meng Huo, suddenly a hug, and said loudly: "No wonder the magpie barks early in the morning, it turns out that an old friend is coming." ”
Compared with King Duosi's appearance, Meng Shu definitely belongs to the Cream Xiaosheng family, he was hugged by him, he was almost out of breath, his big hand slapped King Duosi's back, his face was red, and he couldn't speak.
King Duosi felt that something was wrong, looked down, and saw Meng Huo's lips purple, he let go in shock, held Meng Huo and asked, "Is the old friend okay?" ”
Meng was freed, took a few breaths, and then came to his senses, and scolded in his heart: Grandma, every time you meet, you come to this set, and you suffocate Lao Tzu. Meeting with this guy is not as comfortable as Han Jun tying himself up. Thinking of this, Meng Shu couldn't wait to give himself a few mouths, was he a little cheap, how did he think of being captured by the Han army.
Meng Shu sorted out his thoughts and said to King Duosi: "Old Duo, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?" ”
King Duosi laughed, opened his mouth enough to stuff a sheep's head, and said to Meng Shu: "I am in the Bald Dragon Cave, I have eaten enough, slept soundly, and my body and bones are good." ”
Meng Shu said with a calm face: "It's okay, I'm relieved that my old friend is fine." ”
"What are you talking about? Did you have a big deal? ”
"Don't mention it, I call myself the barbarian king, and I annoyed the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and sent an old man named Cao Cao to attack me with 200,000 horses. I gathered the nearby Yi tribes, enough to have 100,000 men and horses, and fought a bloody battle with them. The Han army was repeatedly used by me to use clever tricks, killed him enough to have 80,000 horses, how could he be outnumbered, and mistakenly fell into the trap of the Han army, 100,000 horses were killed by the Han army, I had no choice, desperately slashed and killed, brought out so many brothers, came to defect. I hope that for the sake of my old friend, I will send troops to avenge me. I've heard that Cao Cao say that anyone who belongs to the territory of China and claims to be the king without the permission of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is among the crusades. ”
Dosi shouted angrily, "It is incumbent upon you to avenge your friends." But what you said is true? ”
Meng Shu raised his right hand, raised it on his head, and said loudly: "If there is half a lie, I am willing to be bombarded by the thunder." ”
Seeing that Meng Huo said seriously, King Duosi believed it and said to Meng Huo: "Old friend, hurry into the cave and rest, this king will pass down the order to gather people and horses, and there is no need for the Han army to come to me, only my 100,000 brand sword and fang Ding army, and I will definitely kill the Han army on their backs." ”
Meng was overjoyed and said to King Duosi: "Yang Feng, the master of the Yinkeng Cave, is not far from the king, why don't you send someone to contact him and send troops together to have a better chance of winning." ”
King Duosi patted his head and said with a smile: "If you don't mention it, I forgot, so I'll send someone to contact Yang Feng immediately." ”
Meng Shu waited in the Bald Dragon Cave for more than ten days, and King Duosi and Yang Feng gathered 150,000 horses, and after converging, they prepared to fight with the Han army.
Meng Huo's battle armor was tattered, and his mount was also emaciated, and when King Duosi saw it, he patted Meng Huo and said: "My old friend fought with the Han army and suffered such a big loss, I will give you a rhinoceros skin armor and a divine horse." Come, bring the armor and mounts. ”
After a while, two brute soldiers, one holding armor made of rhinoceros skin, and the other leading a big cow. Meng Shu was a little dumbfounded, to say that this armor is still good, riding an ox to the battlefield, Lao Tzu encountered it for the first time, so he asked King Duosi: "What is the magic of this cow?" ”
"This cow is called the red hair cow, the whole body hair is red, can travel thousands of miles a day, run can not get off the horse, and this cow is very spiritual, you can know the master's mind, when fighting on the battlefield, you only need to kick his stomach, the red hair cow will use its horns to attack the enemy horse, so that the opponent Zhang Huang is at a loss."
When Meng Shu heard this, he was overjoyed and said to King Duosi: "Thank you for the gift of the sacred cow." ”
Cao Cao heard that Meng was sent to the vicinity of Dianchi to get rescuers, urged the army, and slowly marched south, this day the scout came to report: not far ahead, among the mountains, is the Bald Dragon Cave, and the king of Duosi has gathered more than 100,000 people.
Cao Cao asked: "The barbarian soldiers are real and false, can they be investigated?" ”
The scout said: "The barbarians of the Bald Dragon Cave are all naked**, their heads are scattered, their faces are covered with oil paint, similar to ghosts, they hold shields in their left hands and ghost knives in their right hands, and they look very vicious. There is another team of people and horses, dressed differently, they have their upper bodies, their waists are belted with bark, leaves are trousers, they have long bows on their backs, and they are holding steel forks. ”
Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand to let the scouts retreat, and said to the left and right: "My army is deep into the barren land, the climate is hot, and we need to set up camp in the shade, so that the soldiers can escape the heat and recover their strength." ”
Zhang Ren and the others said: "What Cao Gong said is true. ”
The Han army lined up the men and horses, leaned on the mountains and rivers, and set up several camps, each of which protected each other in order to rescue in time.
When Meng Shu heard that the Han army had arrived outside the Bald Dragon Cave, he discussed with Yang Feng, the king of Duosi and the owner of the Yinkeng Cave, how to send troops?
King Duosi said: "Now that the climate is hot, the Han army is coming from afar, and it will be tired. ”
As a guest army, Meng Shu didn't dare to make up his mind, but when he saw what King Duosi said, it was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately expressed his support. Yang Feng also nodded in agreement.
Early in the morning of the second day, King Duosi ordered the whole army to be fed, and then went to the camp of the Han army with murderous spirit. Outside the camp, the Han army did not move at all, and King Duosi asked Yang Feng to challenge.
Yang Feng rode a fierce horse, holding a spear, came to the front of the Han army village, showed off his might, shouted and scolded, spent a long time spitting Xingzi, his voice was hoarse, and the Han army camp was still quiet.
At this time, Cao Cao was standing on the lookout platform in Dazhai, and saw that the barbarians were murderous and their morale was high, but a large part of them were bare-chested, and a small part knew a little shame, so they put some leaves and bark around their waists, and said to the people around them: "The people are outside, and they don't know etiquette, righteousness and shame." After stabilizing Nanzhong this time, it seems that we will make great efforts to educate them. ”
Cao Ang said: "Barbarians are still in slash-and-burn cultivation, barbarians do not know etiquette, do not read poetry and books, everything is self-sufficient, and it is not easy to educate. ”
Cao Cao smiled: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts, I dare to do this?" ”
Cao Ang said: "Why don't you dare? If the children are allowed to educate them, they should build a school and encourage the barbarians to send their children to school. ”
Cao Cao smiled and changed the topic, "The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, the barbarians are bent on fighting, but I just don't let them get their wish, wait until the sun is high, first bask them, and then see how our army can do it." ”
Meng Shu said to King Duosi: "Old friend, the Han army does not dare to fight, it must be afraid of us, why not order a strong attack?" ”
King Duosi said: "Okay, sons, charge with me, kill the Han army, and rob the gold and silver." ”
Cao Cao saw the barbarians attacking the camp, and immediately ordered, "Guard the camp carefully, and throw more thistles in front of the village." ”
It turned out that the barbarians were all barefoot, and Cao Cao thought of this trick.
The barbarian soldiers came bravely, ran to a distance of 300 meters from Dazhai, lost their weapons one by one, hugged the footboard and shouted, King Duosi was shocked and asked Meng Shudao: "What's the matter?" ”
Meng Shu said: "The Han army is despicable, and it must be sprinkled with thistles and other things on the ground, so that our army cannot move forward. Ask the king to give the order and let the soldiers clear the thistle before attacking. ”
King Dosi had no choice but to recall the barbarians and order a group of barbarians to carry shields and branches to clean up.
The barbarians here have just swept most of the way, and seeing that they have succeeded, countless clay pots suddenly flew out of the wall, and after the clay pots fell to the ground, they shattered with a bang, and the iron thistles inside were sprinkled all over the ground.
When King Duosi, Meng Shu, and Yang Feng saw it, they gritted their teeth angrily. This came and went, and gradually at noon, the scorching sun shone on the earth, and the barbarians stood under the sun enjoying the sunbathing, sweating and dizzy.
Meng Huo saw that the Han army was playing scoundrels, and said to King Duosi: "Let 10,000 soldiers throw away their shields and spread them on thistles, and then the army will swarm up, so as not to give the Han army a chance to throw it again." ”
King Doth said angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Meng Shu said embarrassedly: "Brother just thought of it. ”
King Duosi had his shield thrown on the ground, paving a road with a range of hundreds of zhang, and then the men and horses rushed over, but the Han army still threw out the clay pot and smashed it on the shield, and the thistle terrestris was full again in the blink of an eye.
King Duosi glared at Meng Huo, recalled the soldiers, and had to retreat temporarily, allowing the barbarians to rest in the shade.
The sun slowly moved westward, and the hottest part of the day passed. The gate of the Han army was quietly opened, and Cao Cao left only 5,000 men to guard the camp and sent all 75,000 men and horses out.
The barbarians basked in the poisonous sun for a long time, came to a cool place, drank enough cold water by the stream, and fell asleep comfortably on their backs one by one. Meng Shu saw it and said to King Duosi: "King, I don't know if the scouts and sentry have been arranged?" ”
King Duosi said: "The Han army has made a shrunken turtle, the weather is so hot, where is the need for a sentry?" ”
Meng Shu hurriedly said: "The Han army is the best at sneak attacks, and the king should hurry up and reject, and the sentry is important." ”
Yang Feng said beside him: "I have an army of 150,000, looking at the scale of the Han army camp, but only 100,000 people, why should I be afraid of this?" ”
Meng Shu suddenly felt bitter in his mouth, and said in his heart How did I find two pig teammates, you don't know how powerful the Han army is, Lao Tzu has already understood it. Let's use my people. Meng Huo called the captain of his own soldiers and asked him to arrange for people to be responsible for guarding.
The Han army followed the route that the scouts had already scouted and quietly surrounded the barbarians in the woods. The soldiers sent by Meng Huo also spent most of the day in the sun, and then came out to stand guard at this time, and the taste was like wearing tofu in a horsetail. In the case of a large amount of water loss, the human body only replenishes water and does not supplement sugar and salt, which can easily lead to electrolyte disorders, making people sore, weak and weak, increasing heartbeat, and even worse, leading to death. These brute soldiers who were in charge of vigilance had already become drowsy, and their ability to react to the outside world had greatly decreased.
The Han army solved the sentry first with crossbow arrows, and saw the barbarians lying all over the huge woods, shouting, and the arrows rained out, and the barbarians were suddenly in chaos.
