The fire and chaos in Ugo Cave continued until dawn, when the morning sun rose and the fire was completely extinguished, leaving wisps of green smoke rising in the wake, proving how terrifying the chaos was at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition, only the mountains that are bare on all sides, covered with scorch marks and bloodstains, silently tell the bloodshed of the war.

Fortunately, no one in the Tang Army took the Virgin Mary as their own responsibility, so except for Li Yi, no one felt sad or anything. The army is filled with ecstasy and pride!

Among the examples of battles in history that are talked about by the world and the weak defeat the strong, the Battle of Wuliang Mountain is not the most disparity in proportion before the war. The two most famous large-scale battles carried out by Xiang Ji, the overlord of Western Chu at that time, the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng, are both classics of defeating the strong with the weak.

In the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led 50,000 Chu troops, crossed Zhangshui in a broken cauldron and sunk boats, won nine battles and nine victories, and broke the elite of Zhanghan's 400,000 Qin army, and the gap between the two sides reached eight times.

The battle of Pengcheng was even more exaggerated, when Liu Bang and more than ten princes of the road allied together, with a total army of 560,000, and launched a full-scale attack when Xiang Yu's main force was pinned down in the Qi State.

Under the great pressure of the Han army, Peng Yue, the general who stayed in Pengcheng, surrendered to the wind, and after Xiang Yu heard the news, he only brought 30,000 cavalry back to help, the ratio was almost twenty to one!

The result, of course, was that Xiang Yu won, and he defeated the opponent head-on in the battle, a record that no one may be able to break.

But if it rises to a strategic height, Li Yi will fight against the Nanban coalition army in Nanban, and the results will be much more brilliant than Xiang Yu's in Pengcheng.

Although Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang's coalition army in the Battle of Pengcheng, due to the limited number of troops, he was unable to completely annihilate the enemy army, and even failed to pursue the victory. In the end, he could only use Liu Bang's father and wife as hostages, trying to take advantage of the political level.

Of course, the result was very unsuccessful, and the gap between Xiang and Liu at the level of force and politics was inversely proportional. Liu Bang can't beat Xiang Yu, but playing tricks is enough to throw Xiang Yu a few streets.

On the other hand, in the Battle of the Southern Barbarians, Li Yi first completely defeated the more than 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians in Wuliang Mountain, and then Xu Maogong used a clever plan, and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians were surrendered or captured or killed in battle, and the entire army was destroyed.

The tens of thousands of barbarians who fled first had to be surrounded and intercepted by the Tang cavalry, and then they had to travel a long distance of thousands of miles, and finally they could successfully escape back to their respective nests.

The most incredible thing is that it was all done in just five days. Five days ago, the Southern Barbarian Army was invincible, but five days later, a huge army of soldiers and horses had been wiped out.

Such brilliant results, even the Tang Army, which has experienced countless battles, is unique.

In a single war, the Tang Army did not achieve more victories in destroying the enemy, but in such a short time, it was really not.

Therefore, all the generals of the Tang Army were very excited.

It seemed that the approach of the Tang army was discovered, and there was soon movement in the Ugo Cave.

The first to come out were hundreds of cavalry. Seeing the formation outside the city, there was a slight commotion in the cavalry ranks, but it quickly calmed down. With a muffled shout, these more than 400 people brazenly put on an attack formation--a dense fish scale formation!

The generals of the Tang Dynasty all laughed when they saw this. Although their courage is commendable, these people really don't know whether to live or die. You must know that there are more than 30,000 people outside the Ugo Cave, and they have been recuperating all night, and stretching out a little finger is enough to crush this remnant to death.

Although he knew that the other party was not harmful, Tang Jun's side did not take it lightly. Huang Zhong gave an order, and the crossbowmen in the front row instantly completed the adjustment of the formation, and put out a triple killing formation with the archers behind, the strong crossbow in the center, and the crossbow in front!

The hundreds of cavalry who left the city first were obviously shocked, and the neat array suddenly became chaotic. The cavalry, who were still brave and fearless just now, saw death as if they were at home, and involuntarily retreated, and the fish scale array suddenly shortened a lot, and it was seen that there was a tendency to become an irregular phalanx.

In both battles, there were three things that impressed the Southern Barbarian Army the most: the terrifying long-range strike, the terrifying attack power of the Iron Cavalry, and the superb martial arts of Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei.

Among them, the most deterrent is the long-range strike.

Although Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's martial arts are high, they are only personal bravery, although they are shocking, they are not incredible.

Although the combat power of the iron cavalry is strong, the southern barbarian cavalry is not weak, and in the past, there were many records of cavalry charging and beating the enemy to the ground. If it weren't for the spear cavalry that served as the vanguard was plotted and attacked head-on, the Southern Barbarian Army might not have been afraid of the Tang Army's iron cavalry.

Only the long-range strength of the Tang army was unheard of and unseen by the Southern Barbarians.

The Tang army has a tradition of attaching importance to long-range forces, and in many wars to pacify the world, relying on its long-range superiority, the Tang army has fought many battles in which the enemy is outnumbered and the number of battles won by few. The self-boasting cavalry and archery of the nomadic barbarians in later generations is a joke in this era, and only the Tang Army really deserves this title!

The biggest drawback of the bow and crossbow is that it consumes a lot of money and requires high logistical supplies. In a poor place like Nanban, it is impossible to imagine what it would be like to have ten thousand arrows at once.

In the battle of Wuliang Mountain, they saw a more terrifying scene than the volley of ten thousand arrows, leaving them with a deep psychological shadow, and even those who could be called dead soldiers could not help but be weak and afraid.

"Useless waste! Death without fear, what else is there to fear? There was a roar from the cave of Ugo, and before the roar fell, a fast horse swept out of the city gate like a whirlwind. The war horse was covered in coals, and the knight was also red all over, giving people the feeling of a raging fire!

The person who came was none other than Meng Shu.

"It's strange, didn't he wear bells and whistles last time, why did he wear red this time? Could it be that he really wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, change his career in advance, and want to join the command of the eldest brother? Zhang Feile said with a finger.

Don't look at Zhang Fei, he looks like a reckless man, but that mouth is also very powerful.

"What eyes, you!" Yue Fei and Zhang Fei have never dealt with each other very well, and when he heard this, he pursed his lips and sneered, "Look carefully, those on his body are all blood!" ”

"Blood?" Zhang Fei was stunned, looked at it, and suddenly gasped, "This guy is really not an ordinary fighter!" Looking at this posture, he had to kill two or three hundred people this night, otherwise why would there be so much blood splattered on his body? ”

"It's not surprising that the first person in the Nanban." Yue Fei's face was full of indifferent expressions, and he proposed to Li Yi, "Your Majesty, Meng Shu didn't break through, Bacheng was stumped by the design of the Mao Gong Army's division, and now he put on a hostile posture as soon as he got out of the hole, it seems that he is going to resist to the end, it is better to advance a few hundred steps, attack inside and out, and take him down." ”

Li Yi shook his head noncommittally and did not express his position directly. He agreed with Yue Fei's point of view, but his thoughts were different from Yue Fei's.

"Wait. I've been waiting all night, can't I afford to wait for this moment or three? Li Yi waved his hand and said lightly. He didn't plan to push it too hard, at least until he got a formal return from Xu Maogong.

The appearance of Meng Shu greatly boosted the morale of the Southern Barbarian Army, and the cavalry array quickly stabilized, and the follow-up cavalry also came out of the Ugo Cave in a steady stream, and the whole process lasted about a stick of incense.

In this process, the Tang army, which formed a semi-encircled formation outside the Ugo Cave, remained still, and watched as Meng Shu gathered his troops, adjusted the formation, and moved his position.

There were about 1,800 cavalrymen who came out one after another, and it seems that this is the only strength that Meng Shu has left after the chaotic battle.

Meng Shu commanded the cavalry to set up a glaive formation, and at the same time made a guard against the Tang army, which was not without provocation. At the same time, it also verified Yue Fei's statement, he was indeed restrained by Xu Maogong through the hands of Ning Xing and others.

After Meng Huo's men and horses all left the Ugo Cave, there was soon a new movement in the Ugo Cave. Countless figures suddenly appeared at the head of the empty city, followed by several large flags that were erected, the size and color of the flags were different, and the only thing in common was the big "Tang" character in the center of the flag!

The banner of the Tang Dynasty fluttered fiercely, and everyone in the Wuge Cave suddenly shouted in unison: "The 30,000 people below the Ning clan, the Nong clan, and the Zhu clan of the Nanban Dove Department are willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and the anti-thief Meng Shu will not surrender early?" ”

Thousands of people shouted in unison, condescendingly, and the sound and waves were shot down from the air like a storm crashing on the shore, with the action of raising the flag and demonstrating, the momentum was extremely amazing.

"Don't you come down early?" Infected by this atmosphere, the Tang army outside the cave, as well as the more than 20,000 Nanban people in the cave, also shouted in unison. The sound of questioning seemed to have turned into substance, filling the entire heaven and earth.

Everyone under Meng Huo's command was depressed, there were 50,000 or 60,000 people inside and outside the city, and Meng Huo's less than 2,000 cavalry was like a flat boat in the storm, and there was a danger of capsizing at any time, how could people not be surprised?

As if the pressure was not enough, the troops in the cave also came out of the city.

The foot soldiers lined up in a neat square, chasing behind Meng Huo, swaggering in front of Meng Huo's army. The soldiers in the cave drew their bows and arrows, ready for a long-range attack. At the same time, a muffled thunderous roar was heard from the other direction. You don't have to ask to know that it was the cavalry who was outflanking it.

"It's such an embattled, ambushed on all sides, Mao Gong is really attentive." Li Yi Lengding came out with a sentence, and everyone nodded their heads when they heard it, all smiling.

After Xu Mao recruited the subordinates of the dove department, he infiltrated the Wuge Cave with the army. I thought he was trying to keep the communication smooth, but seeing the current situation, it was obvious that Xu Maogong had once again exerted his ability to integrate the rabble, and he had already controlled the troops of the dove bureaucracy.

Even the strong soldiers of Western Chu back then, after falling into Han Xin's ambush on all sides, were all discouraged and lost their fighting spirit, can Meng Huo continue to resist stubbornly now?

The answer should be obvious.
