Chapter 783: The Unwillingness of the Southern Barbarians

At this moment, Meng Xu's face was unprecedentedly terrifying and ugly, and that expression was like hearing the most unbelievable thing in this life.

The vine armor army, which is so powerful that it is invulnerable and almost invincible in the world, is so completely annihilated?

Moreover, was it burned by Su Zhe with fire?

In an instant, in Meng Shu's mind, a picture of thousands of vine armor soldiers struggling in the flames and finally turning to ashes appeared.

"Why, why is this happening? Why? ”

Meng Shu was so panicked that he couldn't say a word, he just kept repeating why.

The barbarian generals on the left and right were also frightened and stunned, and their originally high fighting spirit was instantly shattered by this bad news.

"The rattan armor is soaked in oil, and the weakness is that it is afraid of fire, could it be that Su Zhe knows the weakness of the rattan armor, so he attacks it with fire?" Doth, who was also frightened, was finally the first to come to his senses.

Meng Huo's body was suddenly shocked, patted his thigh and said: "Damn, why didn't this king think that the Tengjia Army still has this weakness, the idiot of the vulture, why don't you guard against it!" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Not many people know the secret of soaking the rattan armor in oil, even many of us in Nanzhong don't know, so how did the Su thief know?" ”

Meng was stunned, and was suddenly stopped by Zhu Rong's words.

"Could it be that there are spies in our army, secretly communicating with Su Zhe, and revealing the weakness of the vine armor army to Su Zhe?" Doth guessed.

Meng Xu's face sank, and his eyes were anxiously swept towards his generals, his eyes full of doubts.

The generals hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Meng Huo's eyes, for fear of being suspected by Meng Huo.

At this time, another horse galloped over and shouted: "Your lord, that Su Zhe is leading an army of more than 100,000 people to rush towards us, and the advance is only seven miles away from us. ”

It was another shocking piece of news, which instantly turned the barbarian army from shock to horror.

"The vine armor army has been destroyed, we are definitely not the opponent of the Wei army, the king, retreat quickly!" Doth persuaded in a trembling voice.

Meng Huo's thoughts had returned from his suspicion of the spy, and in the face of the current situation, although there were 10,000 unwillingness in his heart, he could only accept this cruel truth.

After gritting his teeth fiercely, Meng Shu sighed: "That's it, it seems that the heavens don't help the king, pass the order, and the army retreat quickly." ”

When the order was laid, the barbarian soldiers who had been demoralized turned around one after another and fled wildly along the road they had come.

When Zhu Rong turned around, he looked back at the direction of the east, his eyes were complicated, and he muttered: "Su Zhe, you are really as the Han people say, but a god descends to earth, otherwise why can you know everything and be omnipotent......

After sighing, Zhu Rong had no choice but to turn around and flee west with the defeat of the defeated army.

The barbarian army came with high morale, and it collapsed.

The 40,000 barbarian soldiers were in great confusion, and they fled in a disorderly manner, not only throwing away their armor, but also vomiting out the looted property and discarding it everywhere

The Wei army was chasing after them all the way, not giving them a chance to breathe.

At this time, Meng Huo had become a frightened bird, and he didn't even dare to hold on to the city anymore, so he went around the city directly and fled to the seven counties in Nanzhong.

Meng Shu and his barbarian army fled for seven days and seven nights, and did not stop until they fled to Nanguang City, a hundred miles south of Yandao City.

40,000 soldiers and horses fled all the way, and when they fled to Nanguang City, there were less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left.

At this time, Meng Huo, since the time he went north, has lost more than half of his troops, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality.

After learning that the Wei army did not continue the pursuit, Meng Shucai finally stopped fleeing south, and while recruiting scattered soldiers and horses in Nanguangdu, he gathered all the generals to discuss what to do next.

Nanguang County Government.

In the main hall, the flickering torches illuminated the dejected faces.

The generals had obviously not recovered from the fear of fleeing, and they all looked gloomy and silent.

Meng Shu sat on the top, gulping down the stuffy wine, venting the depression in his heart.

Once upon a time, he still dreamed of taking all Yizhou and ascending to the throne of the Emperor of Dashu.

And now, his grand dreams have been shattered to the point of almost annihilation by Su Zhe's victories again and again.

He had a hunch that he would probably not be able to be the emperor of Dashu, and whether he could continue to be his king of Nanzhong was also unknown.

After all, Su Zhe is so strong that even the Tengjia Army can defeat and defeat Liu Bei, and it is naturally not a problem to win all of Yizhou.

When the time came, when Su Zhe freed his hand and led the army south to conquer the seven counties of Nanzhong, what did he use to resist.

He can't even resist Guan Yu, let alone the Emperor of Great Wei, who is ten times stronger than Guan Yu!

"Alas, I knew this was the case, this king shouldn't have been greedy in the first place, shouldn't have been greedy......" Meng Shu secretly complained about himself in his heart, and couldn't help but feel remorse.

"Meng Shu, I reminded you a long time ago, then Su Zhe, the lord of Wei, is not something you can deal with, you don't listen to my advice, it's good now, we have killed and injured so many Nanzhong children, how can you explain to the various departments of Nanzhong?"

At this time, Zhu Rong was also angry in his heart, and couldn't help but question Meng Xu.

Meng was embarrassed and couldn't face it, but she was questioned in public, and he was annoyed and angry.

Bang!

The wine glass in his hand slammed on the desk, glared at Zhu Rong and scolded: "This king is the king of the Southern Barbarians, how dare you talk to this king like this, do you want to rebel!" ”

Finally, Meng Shu no longer had to care about the strength behind Zhu Rong, and took out the majesty of his king of the Southern Barbarians, and reprimanded Zhu Rong for his rudeness on the spot.

Zhu Rong was shocked, and looked at Meng Shu in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Meng Shu would be so angry with her this time.

For a while, Zhu Rong was embarrassed and stiffened, and he didn't know what to do.

"Ahem, it's been so far, what's the point of talking about those useless things, it's better to talk about how to deal with it next." Duo Si hurriedly stood up and brought the topic back.

Zhu Rong snorted coldly, lowered his head and poured stuffy wine, and stopped talking.

At this time, all the generals made statements one after another, claiming that since it was impossible to defeat the Wei army, it was better to retreat to Nanzhong, and Su Zhe was afraid that he would go to the mountains and high grounds, and most of them would not send troops to pursue.

Meng Shu drank sullenly and didn't say a word.

"Have you ever thought that we can temporarily maintain stability by withdrawing our troops back to Nanzhong, and when Su Zhe captures Yizhou, he will definitely send troops to recruit Nanzhong, at that time, do we still have a way to live?"

In the midst of the withdrawal of troops, Duo Si sang the opposite tune to everyone.

All the generals looked stunned, and they all fell silent.

Meng Shu was unwilling to withdraw his troops, and when he heard Duo Si say this, he immediately said: "Duo Si is right, Yizhou is in the hands of Liu Bei, we can barely protect ourselves, and divide the seven counties in Nanzhong, if it falls into the hands of Su Zhe, how can we still live, we must not let Su Zhe comfortably go north to attack Chengdu and seize Yizhou!" ”

At this time, he brought it and said: "What the king said is also reasonable, but now that the vine armor soldiers have been destroyed, with our current soldiers and horses, even if we want to help Liu Bei, it is not enough." ”

Meng Shu's body was shocked, and he immediately wilted, and looked at Duo Si for help.

Duo Si scratched his head, with the same sad face and helpless expression.

In the lobby, there was a deathly silence.

Suddenly, Meng You's eyes lit up, jumped up, and shouted: "Don't worry, the king, I also know that there are people all the way, and they may be able to deal with that Su thief!" ”
