The vultures were taken out.

Huang Zhong asked Cao Shuo: "Lord, is the vulture bone agreeing or not?" ”

"What do you think?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked him a rhetorical question.

"I don't get it." Huang Zhong replied: "He didn't say yes or no, so the lord asked him to rest first......

"Barbarians are different from us." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "These cave masters and country masters are attached to Meng Shu, but they are not as strong as him. If they were stronger than Meng Shu, how could they be willing to obey the exorcism. It's just a subordinate maintained by strength, once the strength and weakness change, how long can it be stable? ”

Huang Zhong suddenly said: "No wonder I seemed to hesitate when I saw the vulture bone just now." ”

"He hesitated, just because he wasn't sure if Zhu Rong could kill Meng Huo." Cao Shuo said: "Once the Southern Barbarian forces change, he will come to me himself without me recruiting him." ”

After analyzing these, Cao Shuo then asked Huang Zhong, "When does Hansheng plan to return to Boyo?" ”

"I'm just sending the vulture back, and I'll be back early tomorrow morning." Huang Zhong replied.

"Boyo is not too anxious to employ people, you can stay in Cochin for a few more days." Cao Shuo said: "It's not too late to wait for him to return to Zhurong's territory." ”

"The lord thinks that Jiang Boyo can't break Meng Shu?" Huang Zhong asked.

"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "It's just not this time. ”

Huang Zhong looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously, as if he wanted to find the answer from his face.

Cao Shuo explained: "Jiang Boyo was not well prepared, he only brought mines, and all the artillery was left with Zhu Rong. Without artillery, he simply doesn't have much advantage. Do you think that with the few men and horses he brought, you can defeat Meng Shu? ”

Huang Zhong frowned and didn't say anything.

Jiang Wei had been with him before he set out on the expedition, and he also knew that there were no artillery in the army, only a few mines.

Although mines can catch the enemy by surprise, they are not enough to decide the whole battle.

Meng was only a tenth of the power he could use.

The war into the wilderness has only just begun.

"Staying here for a few more days, in fact, there is one more thing that you need to do later." Cao Shuo said: "The battle against Meng Shu is still ahead, and I plan to ask Han Sheng to send me some more cannons and mines to Zhu Rong." ”

"How much does the lord plan to send?" Huang Zhong asked.

"Give her twenty more cannons." Cao Shuo said: "As for the mines, it would be good to allocate another 5,000 to the past." ”

"So much?" Huang Zhong looked at Cao Shuo in astonishment: "To attack Meng Huo, you don't need so many mines and artillery. Did the lord give too much? ”

"I really don't think it's too much." Cao Shuo shook his head: "Huo Wu sent news earlier, saying that Boyo was fighting with Yang Feng, and the military strength of the two sides was equal, and he was advancing very slowly. Although Yang Feng has a lot of men, there is no real elite. The reason why the Bo date fought so hard was that he was unfamiliar with the terrain, he did not have an advantage in numbers, and he did not carry a cannon strong enough to destroy the will of the barbarians. ”

After listening to Cao Shuo's analysis, Huang Zhong didn't ask any more.

Twenty cannons may not be too much for the Wei army, but when sent to the barbarians, it is a batch of killing weapons that can determine success or failure.

Counting the ten cannons that Zhu Rong had in his hand, when all the thirty cannons were sent to the battlefield, no matter how many barbarians Meng Huo had under him, he would not be able to stand up to the cannons and destroy their morale.

When Huang Zhong sent the vulture bone to Jiaozhi, Jiang Wei led his soldiers and horses to confront Yang Feng.

The two sides have fought several times in recent days, and Yang Feng has not won even a game.

Whether he launches an offensive or a passive defense, it will always be Jiang Wei who wins in the end.

After repeated defeats, Yang Feng's mood was very low.

However, Jiang Wei, who has won repeatedly, is not necessarily in a better mood than him.

Although every battle was sure to be won, Jiang Wei's advance was very slow, and it could not be compared to the earlier battle of breaking through the vultures.

Sitting in the tent, Jiang Wei invited Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuanhe, and several other cave masters.

His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said, "Since Yang Feng blocked our way, our speed of advance has been extremely slow, and we have only taken two villages so far. ”

When Jiang Wei spoke, everyone's eyes were also focused on his face.

After a battle to break through the vultures, everyone is accustomed to the efficiency of quickly destroying the enemy.

In recent days, although they have won many battles, the speed of their progress is indeed so slow that everyone feels anxious.

"I want to ask you, do you understand why our army's advance has become so slow?" Everyone was silent, and Jiang Wei asked them.

"I've fought them twice in the last few days, and every time they pursue, they have a backhand." Xiahoudun said: "The people who fought with us fled, but there were still defenses behind them. We simply can't concentrate on breaking their defenses completely. ”

"I feel the same way." Xiahou Yuan also frowned and said, "Yang Feng seems to have deliberately put on such a posture to delay us here. ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan successively expressed their feelings, and the cave master and others also echoed it.

Jiang Wei listened, nodded and said, "I probably understand what he meant, he wants to drag us here and end up dying of death." When we came here, the battle line was already too long, and when the military rations were exhausted, it was time for them to counterattack. ”

"What should I do?" Hearing what he said, the cave master hurriedly asked, "Do you really want to drag and spend it with them here?" ”

"Dragging is not the way to go." Jiang Wei smiled coldly: "It's time for us to go back." ”

"Yang Feng is staring at us, how can we go back?" The cave master said, "As soon as we turn around, he will immediately chase after us." ”

"If we withdraw, he will indeed catch up." Jiang Wei said: "Fighting him so many times, even if you retreat, you have to have a decent victory." ”

He asked the owner of the cave, "How many mines are left?" ”

"There are still a lot left, and I fought with the vulture bones last time, but I used three or four hundred." Brought the cave master to reply.

"Then let Yang Feng taste the taste of landmines." Jiang Wei said to everyone: "Tell the warriors, prepare to withdraw. In addition, manpower was arranged to lay mines behind the army. Once we retreat, Yang Feng will definitely catch up, and when they are in the minefield, we will turn around and kill again, although it is unlikely that he will be completely defeated, at least it will make him remember this battle deeply. ”

Jiang Wei said his plan, and everyone got up and responded.

Nodding at them, Jiang Wei said, "The rest of the matter depends on you." ”
