402. Burning the Rattan Armor Army

Wei Yan was stopped by the Tengjia army and failed to capture Meng Shu. He led the defeated troops back to Nanzhong City, not to mention, but said that Meng Shu and Zhu Yandong were the main and soldiers, crossed the river and walked for another thirty miles before camping and resting.

Originally, according to the intention of the lord of Zhu Yandong, he should go back to the city directly, but Meng Shu was afraid that his five thousand vine armor soldiers would not be able to withstand the army of Qi State. Therefore, Meng Huo insisted on waiting until the other 25,000 vine armor soldiers arrived before going to find the Qi army for a decisive battle. The lord of Zhu Yan Cave was persuaded by Meng Hui and retreated with him to camp thirty miles away.

Han Fei heard that Wei Yan was being stopped by a strange army, so he called him over to inquire. After asking, Han Fei immediately determined that it was the Fuji Armor Army, he didn't expect the Vine Armor Army to appear so soon, but since he came, don't think about leaving!

Thinking of this, Han Fei ordered someone to immediately find the map of Yizhou County. He knew that the weakness of the Fuji Armor Army was that he was afraid of fire, and now he needed a place where he could carry out fire attacks.

The map was quickly sent, but there was not much useful information on the map at all, as it was surrounded by mountains. Han Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, "It seems that I need to personally investigate Yifan." ”

After a few days, Han Fei took a few native guides to personally survey and inspect the terrain, and this time it was three days, and on this day, he suddenly came to a mountain and saw a valley shaped like a coiled snake, with cliffs on both sides, no trees and weeds, and a road in the middle, so Han Fei asked the native people: "What is this place?" The native replied, "This is the Valley of the Coiled Snake." ”

Han Fei was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is the chance that God has given me to succeed. "Go back to the city, order Wang Ping to prepare black oil tank trucks, bamboo poles and other things to place at both ends of the Snake Valley, and order Zhang Fei to prepare things to be used to guard the intersection All these preparations are in place! In the past few days, Meng Shu and Zhu Yan Cave Lord finally waited for another 25,000 vine armor troops, so they took 30,000 vine armor troops to kill Nanzhong City. Han Fei, who had been paying attention to their movements for a long time, immediately sent Wei Yan to lead a large army to fight the Tengjia Army again. And the task given to him was to lose ten battles in a row in seven days, and finally introduce the vine armor army into the Valley of the Coiled Snake.

Wei Yan took the order and went out to fight the vine armor soldiers again, and really lost ten battles in a row in seven days, and also abandoned seven camps to lure the Tengshen soldiers into the Snake Valley. But it was said that the master of the Zhu Disgusted Cave knew that his rattan armor soldiers were afraid of fire, and at first Wei Yan was defeated and retreated, and he did not chase after him, for fear of being ambushed. Meng Shu also said to him: "The Han people are cunning, and they are used to using ambushes and fire attacks. In future battles, as long as you see trees and grass in the valley, you must not go in. ”

Zhu Yan Cave Lord nodded and said: "The king is right, the vine armor is afraid of fire and water, and we must prevent the Han people from setting fire to attack." ”

Having said that, Wei Yan was bound to lose every battle, losing for seven days in a row and losing seven camps in a row. The lord of Zhu Yan Cave no longer had any scruples, and led the vine armor soldiers to chase and kill. Zhu was tired of the cave master, but when he saw the lush woods, he did not call forward, and sent people to look far away, and saw that there was a military flag fluttering faintly in the shade of the trees, and smiled at Meng Shu: "Sure enough, the Han people want to ambush and attack in the woods, I am not fooled, he will definitely be defeated." ”

On the eighth day, Wei Yan led the army to challenge again, and the vulture bone defeated Wei Yan. Wei Yan fled across the Snake Valley, and the lord of Zhu Yan led his troops to chase and kill, but saw that there were no trees in the valley. Suddenly, seeing a black oil container truck at the mouth of the valley, the barbarians were overjoyed and said, "This is their grain truck." ”

Zhu was also overjoyed by the cave master, so he was relieved to enter the valley, just after the vine armor army entered the valley, the "grain cart" at the mouth of the valley suddenly caught fire, and then was stopped by the Qi army throwing down a large number of dry firewood. The lord of Zhu Yan Cave was panicked, and was about to flee by taking the road, only to see torches littered on both sides of the mountain, torches everywhere, and the gunpowder in the ground exploded immediately! Liu Bei has repeatedly banned that gunpowder should not be used lightly, but this rattan armor army is powerful, so these days Han Fei secretly made some in order to use it today.

The 30,000 vine armor soldiers rushed left and right, and the road was all blocked, and they couldn't break out at all, and as a rattan armor was ignited, the sound of wailing resounded throughout the Snake Valley. Fa Zheng accompanied Han Fei to stand on the top of the mountain, looking at the vine armor army that was engulfed by flames in the Coiled Snake Valley. At this time, he couldn't bear to say in his heart: "If the military division continues like this, all the vine armor troops in the valley will be burned to death." ”

Han Fei sighed and said, "Xiaozhi, I know what you mean!" But if you want the barbarians to surrender completely, then I can't stop this battle! Even if it hurts Tianhe, he will not hesitate to do it. ”

Fa Zheng listened to Han Fei's words, nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is good, the barbarians worship the strong the most. Only when they are afraid, they dare not have another incident, but watching 30,000 people die in the fire, I still feel a little unbearable! After Fa Zheng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

Han Fei also couldn't bear it in his heart, but in order to be able to deter the barbarians, at this moment, he was ruthless and stopped looking at the vine armor army in the valley.

The fire burned for a day and a night before finally stopping, and the entire Snake Valley was burned black. There is no complete corpse on the ground at all. The air was filled with the stench of the incineration of corpses, which was unpleasant and disgusting. Han Fei ordered someone to directly shovel the soil and bury the entire valley.

Meng Huo, who was the main backup of Zhu Yandong, was finally captured alive by Han Fei. He saw with his own eyes the tragic situation in the Snake Valley, and the 30,000 vine armor soldiers were burned alive in the Snake Valley. Meng Shu's whole heart was cold at this moment.

After the battle, Han Fei gathered the generals and said: "I expected that the enemy must prevent me from ambushing and attacking in the woods, so I deliberately arranged the military flag to make him believe. I want Wei Yan to lose ten times in a row, let him know that our army is no match for him, make him proud and underestimate the enemy, and chase after the bare Snake Valley with confidence, and let me use gunpowder, black oil and other ignition materials to attack. I have long heard: 'What is good for water must be afraid of fire.' 'The rattan armor is soaked in oil, and it will catch fire when it sees it.' The generals all bowed to the ground and praised: "The military advisor knows himself and his opponent, he is clever and unpredictable!"

Han Fei laughed for a while, and then he asked people to bring Meng Shu up. When Meng Huo saw Han Fei, he immediately knew that this person was the culprit who burned the 30,000 vine armor army. So after coming in, he glared at Han Fei angrily!

When Wei Yan saw his expression, he immediately shouted, "Bah! When will the barbarian not kneel when he sees the military advisor? ”

Meng Shu raised his head and said: "I am a barbarian king, how can I kneel!" Besides, you wait for the trickery of the Han people, and don't dare to confront us head-on, I don't accept you! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The defeated general An dares to speak bravely, if you don't obey you, I will compete again." ”

Meng Yu saw that it was Zhang Fei who spoke, and he was suddenly speechless. However, he then said angrily: "There are also capable people among my barbarians, can you still set foot on my barbarian village alone?" ”

Zhang Fei had to say more, but at this time, Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Untie him and let him go." ”

"Strategist!" The generals shouted in unison.

Han Fei immediately said, "I don't want to, you don't have to persuade anymore." But you are barbaric, if you are caught by me, are you willing to surrender? ”

Meng Yu looked at Han Fei coldly and said, "I'll go back and mobilize people, if I lose in your hands again, then I will surrender!" Han Fei nodded, and then ordered Meng Yu to be released directly.
