Chapter Ninety-One: The Jedi Fight Back and Pacify the Southern Barbarians
Liu Xuewu's side has been unable to contact the Yishu army for more than half a month, and the scouts sent out have only collected the whereabouts of the Southern Barbarians and have no other useful information. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info contacted the flying pigeons sent out batch after batch, but the result was no news. Liu Xuewu discussed it with the three sisters, and made a layout according to the dynamics of the Southern Barbarians, and no matter what happened, they had to deal with it calmly. Believing in the ability of Yishu, the 50,000 army does not mean that it is gone. So Liu Xuewu made a plan, and the three-way army made an appointment to surround the Nanban army in the form of encircling three and missing one.
Meng Huo's side was also angry, and the army, which was several times larger than the opponent's troops, surrounded and suppressed an army led by a woman with only tens of thousands of remnants, and actually let the other party run away. Moreover, it was under the nose that his own side slipped under his nose when he suffered heavy casualties, and he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't annihilate the other party at the cost of nearly 50,000 dead and wounded. If he doesn't completely solve the other party, Meng Shu really can't swallow this breath.
When the sentinels at the front came to report that they had found traces of the Han Chinese, Meng was overjoyed and led the army in pursuit all the way overnight. What is hateful is that the Han people on the other side are very cunning, and they actually play hide and seek with them in the mountains. Along the way, Meng Huo's army encountered a lot of traps left by the Yishu. However, there are too many people on Meng Shu's side, and he is not worried about losing so many dozens of people at all, thinking that their tribe must not die 1,800 every year, and the anger at this time has already overwhelmed him, and he can't care about so much of anything.
The chasing Yishu side was also really uncomfortable, and many seriously injured soldiers had to stay behind to hold gunpowder bags to resist the Southern Barbarians. Originally, these powder packs were intended to be used with fire attacks, but now they can only be used as heroic sacrifices.
Just when Yishu and the remaining 10,000 remnants of the soldiers felt desperate and helpless, they encountered an accident.
Yishu and his subordinates ran desperately forward, and suddenly jumped from the tree on the right a person wearing a camouflage suit with green leaves.
"In front of you, the third lady of the marshal Yishu?" The man in disguise was surrounded by several guards of ceremonial books, and the knives were around the man's neck.
Yishu looked at the person who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With a wave of their hand, the guards pulled their knives away. Yishu hurriedly asked, "You are the scout of that part, how far away is the army?"
This scout has seen a lot of big scenes, but at that moment, the big knife was removed from his neck, and he himself felt like he was coming in a circle from the door of death. How dare you delay, and hurriedly report to the Yishu: "I am under the command of the fourth lady, the eldest lady, the second lady and the fourth lady of my family are not far ahead, the third lady, please come with me." ”
Yishu nodded, and under the leadership of this scout, he finally had a round with the three sisters who had not been seen for a long time. Liu Xuewu learned about Meng Shu's intentions from the book of rites, as well as the specific directions. After several orders were given, the three-way army lurked in their respective territories, waiting for the urn now.
Saying that, Meng Shu was also quite unlucky, not to mention chasing the lost soldiers all the way, and making his subordinates tired. It looked like it was about to be chased, but it was stepping into the encirclement of people's ambushes. Of course, he doesn't know now, and if he knew, he would definitely not be chasing here. It's a pity that the sky is dying, and I can't hide from it.
"Tell the king, there is a road ahead of you that is blocking the way." The sentries of the Nanban came running to report.
"Hehe, I saw that the other party was forced by this king to jump off the wall in a hurry, and wanted to let go. Give the order to let the elephant soldiers charge forward and directly crush the opposing camp. Meng Shu said with a smile on his judgment.
This time, it was Meng Shu himself who led the elephant soldiers, wielding two huge axes and rushing towards the intercepting army in a triangular goose-shaped formation. And here is the 20,000 Yizhou cavalry led by Liu Xuewu himself, Liu Xuewu was originally ready to play cavalry sprint with Meng Huo, but he guessed the beginning but did not guess the end. Before he started, he was charged by an elephant from the other side, which must not be resisted, Liu Xuewu waved the two cyan flags on the left and right, and the 20,000 cavalry were divided into left and right halves and ran to both sides.
"Hahaha, the cavalry of the Han people is nothing more than that. What are we afraid of! Meng Shu shouted as he rushed.
"Great King, it seems that this is not the Han army we pursued before." Zhu Rong, who was on Meng Shu's side, said with a cautious face.
"Madame is too worried, even if the Han people come to reinforce it, so what? With this deserted army, what do we have to fear? Meng Shu said proudly.
So in a state of bursting confidence, Meng was ordered to continue the pursuit. At this moment, he fell into a heavy encirclement, and the three-way army lurking on the side was waiting for Liu Xuewu's signal, as long as an order was given, the 150,000 army suddenly appeared, and it must be able to kill the less than 100,000 Nanban army by surprise.
And Liu Xuewu's original intention was to have more prisoners, but according to the current situation, capturing prisoners is completely looking for their own death, so there is no way. Meng Huo's army pursued to a valley in the south, and after Liu Xuewu's 20,000 cavalry entered the valley, they left through the passage on the side, and blew up the passage with gunpowder, making the boulder stuck and impassable. Moreover, a large number of flammable and explosive materials such as gunpowder and straw were placed in the valley in advance.
Meng Shu felt that the situation was wrong at this time, and he wanted to turn around and push out of the valley, but at this time, a large area of Han troops suddenly appeared at the mouth of the valley and on the mountain. All kinds of arrows with flames, all kinds of stones, all kinds of shouts and killings are endless.
With the panic of the Southern Barbarian army, the Southern Barbarians who stayed outside the valley and those who had not yet had time to enter the valley were surrounded and suppressed by 100,000 horses on two roads. The screams of the southern barbarians in and outside the valley were endless, and Meng Shu split a stone thrown from the mountain with an axe, but he couldn't stop a flying arrow with flames from piercing straight into his eye. The pain was unbearable, and he fell directly from the elephant north, but before he could stand up, a huge elephant's foot fell from his head, and the scene was like a movie, and the whole head was trampled on with one foot.
And Mrs. Zhurong outside the valley was also cut in half from behind by a big knife soon after, and the two leaders led by the loss of the Southern Barbarian army could not be unified at all, and it was completely chaotic. Constantly being eaten by the three-way army, the busy tooth who broke an arm and escaped for his life, saw that the general trend was gone, and fled with dozens of southern barbarian cavalry taking advantage of the gap.
In this battle, nearly 50,000 southern barbarians were annihilated, more than 30,000 people were captured, and several elephants and horses were captured. Annihilated the backbone of the 400,000 Southern Barbarian army, and the various Southern Barbarian armies who got the news fled back to the wild land, and since then there has been no barbarism in Shu for a hundred years.
