Without Meng Shu's order, those barbarian soldiers had already been frightened, and they fled faster than rabbits, and they collapsed before they took the first step.

These moments ago, I was still thinking about taking revenge on the Wei army, thinking about recapturing Yudao City, and burning and killing the barbarian army who looted to my heart's content, but in the blink of an eye, the goal plummeted, and I only thought that I could escape.

The crash begins.

The barbarians, who numbered less than 40,000, discarded their armor and weapons, reduced their weight as much as possible, and fled with all their might.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast they run, they can't outrun the frightened elephant.

In the blink of an eye, the elephant herd rushed in, and the bloody rolling began.

Countless brutes were knocked to the ground, and countless flesh and blood were trampled to pieces by the giant elephant's feet.

Don't say it's a human being, even the war horses are fragile under the pressure of the elephant herd, and they are killed in pieces.

Blood stained the wilderness red, spreading all the way south, and in the blink of an eye, the 40,000 barbarian army was crushed and flowed with blood.

Su Zhe didn't need to do anything, just urge his army, follow behind the elephant soldiers, and replenish the sword for those barbarians who were lucky enough not to be trampled to death.

He didn't need captives, but what he wanted to do was to kill all the barbarians and destroy as much of their living force as possible, so that they would never have the energy to rebel again.

The slaughter lasted for half a day, and it was not until ten miles of pursuit that the elephants gradually dispersed and fled into the woods.

At this time, the barbarian army, under the pressure of the elephant herd, had nearly 10,000 dead and wounded.

Meng Shu and his remnants did not dare to take a breath, he knew that there was still the pursuit of the Wei army behind him, so he could only continue to flee desperately.

Su Zhe chased all the way, killed nearly 10,000 barbarians along the way, chased more than 100 miles, and chased directly to the vicinity of Nanguang City.

……

After three days and three nights of sleepless escape, Meng Shu finally fled into the city of Nanguang, and the moment he stepped into the city gate, he let out a long breath, almost like a prostration, and almost fell from his horse.

Meng Huo, who entered the city, immediately counted the defeated soldiers and cleaned up the remnants after recovering a little.

Soon, he painfully found that after this defeat, more than half of his 40,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and the remaining soldiers under his command were less than 20,000.

Meng was heartbroken.

At the beginning, he led nearly 70,000 barbarian troops, and with the ambition of becoming the emperor of Dashu, he went north to fight Su Zhe.

In order to motivate the soldiers, in order to persuade the various ministries in the south to support him, he also boasted about Haikou, promising them an inexhaustible wealth of women, so as to lure the barbarians to fight for him.

He never dreamed that in less than two months, he would fail to such a point.

The losses of the army have reached such a high level, his reputation has fallen to the valley, and how can he have the face to return to Nanzhong and face his people.

And just when Meng Shu didn't have time to taste the bitter fruits of defeat, Su Zhe had already led 100,000 Wei troops to kill under Nanguang City, and began to go down the village along the perimeter of the city, intending to besiege Nanguang City into a flood.

Meng Huo could only swallow the bitterness for the time being, and gathered all his subordinates to discuss how to deal with it.

In the lobby, the atmosphere was gloomy and deadly silent, and everyone was a bitter melon face, sighing and helpless.

"Speak, what are we going to do? Are you all dumb? Meng Shu had nowhere to spill his anger, and shouted at his subordinates.

The crowd was indifferent, one by one lost their souls, as if they had not yet recovered from the fear of being chased by the elephants.

At this time, Duo Si coughed dryly and sighed: "King, at this point, we can't defeat the Wei army, so let's withdraw our troops and return to Nanzhong." ”

As soon as Duo Si took the lead, Meng You hurriedly said: "Yes, king, right now, the Wei army is already setting up a siege camp, once they complete the encirclement of Nanguang City, we can't leave if we want to, you quickly order to withdraw to Nanzhong." ”

Meng was silent.

Of course, he knew very well that with his current strength, let alone defeating the Wei army, once the siege was completed by the Wei army, it was unknown whether he could hold it.

Abandoning the city and fleeing south to Nanzhong is undoubtedly the wisest choice at present.

Maybe in the future, Su Zhe will conquer Nanzhong, and he will still be doomed, but at least he can survive for a few days.

Meng Shu was unwilling.

It's not just unwilling, it's not daring.

Now that his prestige has fallen to the bottom, after returning to Nanzhong, all tribes will inevitably liquidate him, even if it is his own tribe, I am afraid that they may not support him anymore.

At that time, he lost everyone's support, and he was still a dead end.

Meng Shu shuddered, and immediately shouted: "No, we must not retreat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Duo Simeng You and others were all shocked and discolored.

Duo Si hurriedly said: "Great King, now is not the time to be rash, if we don't retreat, are we waiting for the Wei army to surround us?" At that time, we really had to wait for death! ”

Meng Shu gritted his teeth and said: "Now if we escape, after the surnamed Su takes Yizhou, he will definitely invade our Nanzhong, and then we will still be dead!" ”

"However, that is also in the future, and it is better than dying now." Meng You said with a sad face.

Meng Shu snorted coldly: "Don't worry, then Liu Bei will not sit idly by and watch us be destroyed by the surname Su, this king will send someone to ask Liu Bei for help now, and when his army captures Yudao City, we will be able to attack from the north and south and wipe out the hundreds of thousands of troops surnamed Su in one fell swoop!" ”

Duo Si and Meng You looked stunned, as if they were in despair, and suddenly saw a ray of light.

"If Liu Bei can really capture Yandao City, we don't have no hope of turning the tables......" Duo Si muttered to himself with a triangular hu, faintly as if he had been moved by Meng Yu.

Meng You also said: "Then Liu Bei has 110,000 fresh troops, and the soldiers and horses left by Su Thief in Yandao are only 50,000. ”

For a while, the panic of Meng Huo's ministers gradually dissipated, and they began to be optimistic again.

"Enough, how long will you still be naïve!"

In the lobby, in the midst of optimistic words, a discordant voice suddenly emerged.

It's Zhurong.

She was silent, she couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly jumped up and roared at everyone.

Meng Huo's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Sister Huo, what do you mean, you make it clear to this king." ”

Zhu Rong didn't care about anything, looked at Meng Shu squarely, and said sharply: "That Su Zhe can even defeat the vine armor soldiers and giant elephant soldiers, just like a god, do you really think that Liu Bei will really be his opponent, can he really defeat the city of Yan Dao to save us?" ”

Meng was dumbfounded, and was immediately speechless by Zhu Rong.

"Yes, then Su Zhe is as resourceful as a god, since he dares to lead the main force to attack Nanguang City, he must have been on guard against Liu Bei......" Duo Si muttered to himself, obviously having changed his mind.

Meng Shu's brows furrowed even deeper, pretending to be disdainful, and humming proudly: "Sister Huo, you were scared by that Su thief, and you even regarded him as a god, are you confused!" ”

"Am I confused?"

Zhu Rong took a step forward, looked directly at Meng Huo, and asked: "Meng Huo, you answer me honestly, are you afraid that after returning to Nanzhong, you will lose your throne as the king of Nanzhong, so for your own selfish thoughts, regardless of the life and death of all of us, you have to survive here!" ”

Finally, Zhu Rong pierced Meng Huo's true intentions.

Duo Si and the others' faces changed slightly, and they all looked at Meng Shu.

Meng Shu's heart was shocked, and he immediately looked embarrassed, his selfish desires were exposed, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

The next moment, Meng Shu became angry, and shouted angrily: "Zhu Rong, you are so bold, you dare to slander this king like this, do you want to find death!" ”

In anger, Meng Shu actually picked up the knife and wanted to do it with Zhu Rong.
