As the chaos unfolded, a day and a night passed. The casualties on both sides www.biquge.info are increasing and the losses are increasing, but because the situation is very chaotic, there is no way to count them. Especially at night, as soon as you see the fire, there is a chance that a war will start. Inevitably, the Nanban tribes living in a harsh environment have an advantage. Moreover, there is a clan in the Southern Barbarians, named Duomu, who are good at raising snakes and training snakes, and the clansmen have eaten raw snake gall since childhood. In order to achieve the special function of night visibility, the Han troops scattered all over the country will be miserable, and the advantages that have been established during the day are gone.

Under the leadership of the Duomu tribe, the warriors of the Southern Barbarians launched a hunting, encirclement and suppression of the Han army in the dark night, which can be said to be the shouting and killing of the entire Wenchang region. And Meng Huo, who was besieged on the side of the main city of Wenchang, also received news and learned about the field encounters between the tribal warriors and the Han army scattered during the day. The news also briefly described that the current situation in the field is not optimistic, and Meng Shu faintly felt that the situation was not right. Hurriedly excluded the details to investigate the generals who presided over the Han army this time, the number of troops, the way of action, and so on.

As the shouts and killings from all over Wenchang at night did not stop, Meng Shu was also a little panicked. He thought he was going to be surrounded on all sides. Unexpectedly, without verification, Meng Shu ordered the army to withdraw overnight.

At dawn, the 20,000 troops in Wenchang County who were scattered by Liu Fan went out after a day and a night of fighting, and there were less than 1,000 survivors gathered together. What a horrible thing, what a terrible casualty. Fortunately, the effort is valuable, compared to the corpses of the Southern Barbarians left in Wenchang is no less than 30,000, and what is even more valuable is that none of the Han army surrendered and became prisoners this time. As early as after the disaster last year, Liu Yan intentionally or unintentionally transmitted an idea to the army about what would happen if he took refuge in or became a prisoner of the Southern Barbarians. The whole Yizhou knew about the cannibalism of the Southern Barbarians, so it was amplified under the influence of Liu Yan, which stimulated the desire of these soldiers to survive, and reached a kind of ending where they had to fight after death. Of course, in order to eliminate the psychological barriers of these soldiers, before leaving, Liu Fan specially captured several Southern Barbarians and killed them with swords in front of the whole army, convincing the soldiers that Southern Barbarians are also human beings, and they will also bleed and die. In order for us not to die, we have to let the Southern Barbarians die.

Therefore, in this battle, almost every soldier was determined to die when he met the Nanban soldiers, and this time he was able to have such a brilliant result, and the tactics in his heart and the courage of the soldiers to survive contributed to it.

For this reason, Liu Fan buried the soldiers who died in battle, and the corpses of the southern barbarians were gathered together and burned.

Here, Liu Fan is rewarding meritorious deeds in Wenchang City, but the Nanban Hundred Tribes are lamenting and singing. Lost 30,000 Nanban warriors at once, which was the first time that the Nanban tribes had suffered such a big loss in hundreds of years. Although the population of the Nanban Hundred Tribes is large, you must not forget that this time the army was sent by the strongest of the various tribes. And the big tribe is okay to say, the small tribe has only a dozen or so families, and they are already jealous of the grain and grass materials looted last year. This year, in order to strive for maximum benefits, the youth of these small tribes can be said to be pouring out. It's good that there are no casualties in battle, and some of them are directly annihilated. It also caused these ancient tribes to fall into a deep valley all of a sudden, and if they did not have a chance to make a comeback, they would eventually be annexed by other tribes.

Although the Nanban Hundred Tribes are known as the Hundred Tribes, there are many tribes in the tens of thousands. Of course, the competition is also quite cruel, not to mention that this time it was also Meng Huo's judgment error, which made everyone return in vain, so all tribes came to Meng Huo's side to ask for an explanation.

There are some things, since they have been done, they must definitely come out and take responsibility, otherwise Meng won the position of the big chief, and it is estimated that he will have to abdicate and give way to Xian. And if it weren't for the fact that Meng Huo won the heart of Mrs. Zhurong and got the support of the Zhurong clan and defeated the candidates of other tribes, it is estimated that Meng Huo is still staying in a cave now.

In order to divert the pressure of the major tribes on him, Meng Huo decided to launch a second northern hunt before winter came. Of course, in the tradition of hunting in the north of the Southern Barbarians, it is very serious and sacred, and it is not that Meng won a big chief who said that he would fight, but also had to be sacrificed to the gods by the high priest, and then divination, and finally according to the results of divination, it can be decided whether to carry it out. Therefore, Meng Shu could only take a large number of gifts to discuss the situation with the elders of the hundred clans and the high priest.

As the first of the elder group, it is necessary to consider the interests of the hundred clans, and then decide whether to let the high priest divinate or not. If the result of the high priest's divination is not good, then it is useless for the elder group to pass. Unless everyone in the elder group swears a blood oath to the gods and sacrifices them with the blood of their relatives, then the high priest's divination decision can be skipped. These rules have been gradually perfected and formulated by the elders of the Southern Barbarian Hundred Tribes in the past generations, and have been passed down step by step.

As the saying goes, "There are no rules." "It's the same here in the Nanban Hundred Tribes.

So in the big bamboo building of Nanban, the elder group composed of the ten elders launched a heated discussion. On the other hand, the high priest on the side took several priests to wait for the outcome of the discussion, because of the long-term plan. If there is no harvest this year, does it mean that the Han people will come again next year, and it is estimated that the northern hunt will also return in vain. This is not allowed among the 100 tribes of the Southern Barbarians, not to mention that the tribes of the 100 tribes still count on these materials, grain and grass to survive the winter. So soon there was a result, and it was left to let the high priest divination. For the Southern Barbarians, divination is a very majestic and sacred, and the result of divination is the will of the gods, and it is also the most important decision.

Maybe the gods are not at home today, and they can't get through three times in a row. But thousands of calculations have missed the high priest, the origin of the high priest, was also a medium tribe at the beginning, but unfortunately, with the decline of these years and a sudden plague, the once prosperous tribe has now been reduced to a small tribe with only a dozen families left. In order to prevent the tribe from disappearing and being destroyed, the high priest went out and prepared to go into battle in person to fight for more supplies for the tribe. So he took a huge risk to deceive everyone, so a new round of northern hunting, with Meng Shu's edict, the army began to assemble again.

In order to be foolproof, Meng Shu gathered an army of 400,000 Southern Barbarians this time, not only to loot supplies, but also to take another kind of revenge, and they shouted angrily to the sky: "Despicable Han people, we are back again." ”
