Chapter 12: A Herd of Cattle Becomes a Fire Cow

Although Meng Wei is full of muscles, he is still very talented in military affairs, otherwise the Han Empire would not have given him a guard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info After listening to Meng Shu's words, how could he still not understand the key?

If Meng is defeated, with the current military system of the Han Empire, he can always find a successor, and maybe he will be able to ascend to the throne. But if Meng Shu was obedient, then at least he would be able to take away a large number of Nanzhong barbarians who were loyal to him, so that the remaining northern soldiers or officers, and even military and political commissars, would become insignificant.

What awaits them is either surrender, or capture after defeat, or even outright killed.

"Brother, don't worry, hasn't the goal of this invincible general been achieved? Naturally, that would be our victory! Meng Wei was helpless, so he could only further comfort.

"It's a pity that my brother was defeated in the end, and the other party's last words were not actually said to me, but to those soldiers behind me. Besides, those who have a heart may not be able to hear it, they have also said this, so that our earlier concealment is likely to be misinterpreted by some people! Meng Shu sighed and said.

"It's okay, we only need a big win tomorrow, I'm afraid they won't make it?" Meng Wei immediately retorted, "As long as you get a big victory with dignity, or even a big victory at the crushing level, then even if the soldiers below doubt it, they will naturally have nothing to say!" ā€

"The battlefield is ever-changing, how can there be an absolutely crushing war?" Meng Shu thought about it and denied this statement.

"Oh, my brother! How did you become more and more literate after learning the knowledge of the Han people? Of course, the Han people's methods of warfare are impossible, but what about our methods? Wait for me, my little brother will immediately go and prepare 3,000 bison! After Meng Wei finished speaking, he turned around and left directly.

Meng Wei's thoughts, but Meng Shu understood, it was nothing more than using the bison array. Nanzhong is a wizard who is good at driving away beasts, and in the final analysis, he is proficient in the language of beasts. In between, the buffalo mistook it for a cow and did as they were told.

It is not very technical, it is nothing more than stop, charge and follow these three commands. However, with thousands of bison galloping, it is indeed unlikely that anyone else will survive. You must know that under the charge of such a large number of bison herds, even if an elephant or rhinoceros sees it, it is afraid that they will have to retreat.

Two hours later, Meng Wei came back out of breath, but it could be seen that he had been angry just now.

"What's wrong?" Meng Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Those rabbit cubs said that they didn't do it and quickly gathered 3,000 bison in a short period of time, and they found 1,000 of them, among which there are many old cows, and the momentum is not enough at all!" Meng Wei said with a gloomy face.

"A thousand heads is not bad, the other party is only five thousand people, a thousand cows rushed directly over, and they are not completely collapsed? When the time comes, we'll kill it! Meng Shu smiled when he heard this, if there were thousands of troops and horses, what would it not be enough to deal with five thousand people and one thousand bison?

"It's just that the other party has firearms in his hands, and the salvo of 5,000 people is afraid that this thousand cows will not be pleased!" Meng said regretfully, if there are 3,000 cows, even if the other party has firearms to fire a salvo, it will not be a problem to kill more than 300 heads in front. But a thousand oxen killed the first three hundred, and the next seven hundred were scattered.

"Blindfold them, as long as they don't see their companions dead, they naturally continue to rush forward frantically. Even if there are only 300 left in the end, it can cause chaos on the other side! Meng Shu was not in a hurry.

It is also interesting to say that this plan was originally conceived by Meng Wei, but he himself became unconfident when he couldn't get three thousand cows. And in the end, Meng got it, but he became the one who constantly helped to perfect this plan.

By the next day, the two sides were still arranged, but their mental outlook was naturally different.

The soldiers of the Chinese Republic are naturally more energetic, on the one hand, after a good rest, they have been further relieved of their fatigue all the way; The second is that the general won a game yesterday, so the morale was further improved.

On the one hand, it was also because of yesterday's defeat, and on the other hand, what Li Wen said yesterday made many people shake in their hearts. In the end, it is a lonely army, and the feeling of being isolated is very bad, and many people will inevitably ask themselves: Can this battle be won, and even if it is won, can it regain the lost territory?

If there is no way to regain the lost territory, then in the end they will still be a group of lonely ghosts, and the key is those relatives and clansmen in their hometown, who are afraid that they may not be able to see each other again for the rest of their lives.

It was with this mood that their morale became very unstable, and even if the prison guards were trying to comfort and encourage them, the effect was not great. As Meng Huo said, the first victory they need now is a victory!

"What, it seems that Li's proposal is not intended to be considered by Your Excellency?" When Li Wen saw the other party's posture, he naturally stepped forward and teased.

"Hmph, heroes are not brave for a while, and the victory or defeat is not scored, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant here?" Meng Shu naturally couldn't let him get scared, so he stepped forward and roared angrily.

"If you want to fight, just come!" Li Wen didn't care, he rode back to the battle.

"Hehe, I just don't know how long you'll be proud!" Meng Shu smiled faintly, took out a bullhorn and blew it directly.

In a short time, the army parted, and more than a thousand oxen slowly stepped forward under the drive of the wizard. Although they have not yet taken any action under the restraint of the wizard for the time being, so many cattle have come to the army, of course, it is impossible for them to be slaughtered for meat!

"Prepare the flamethrower!" Seeing this, Li Wen immediately instructed the adjutant. Nanban is good at driving beasts here, and he has seen a lot of them along the way, and even learned some information from Gao Ran and Xu Sheng through the pager.

Along the way, more than 30 flamethrowers were urgently mobilized in Xinggu County, just to prevent this situation. I didn't expect the other party to still have this idea, but I have to say that more than a thousand cows were placed there, which did cause a very strong visual shock.

"Sons, it looks like you can eat meat tonight!" After Li Wen finished speaking, he shouted behind him. At the same time, under the command of the adjutant, the non-commissioned officers with flamethrowers in their hands came to the front of the battle as soon as possible, ready to spray.

To say that to deal with the rush of large groups, its practical machine gun is the best, but due to the problem of cost, the machine gun has not yet reached the level of mass production. In addition, at the current level of manufacturing, the balance of bursts is very unstable, and it is also prone to jamming. The major army groups did not like to use machine guns, so the idea of arming the whole army was naturally shelved.

Meng Shu also saw that in the opponent's battle array, some strange-looking weapons suddenly appeared. It seemed to him that it was a type of firearm, but he didn't know what it was, with a pipe and a box attached to it. To say that it is a magazine or something, it is obviously too far-fetched.

Maybe it's because of the sixth sense of a martial artist, he thinks those things are dangerous, but he can't say where they are.

"Do it!" Seeing that the battle array had been arranged, Meng Shu naturally couldn't continue to retreat, so he immediately issued an order. Almost as soon as the wizard received the order, he whispered a low roar, and if you listened closely, you would see that it was the bark of a cow. The wizard now uses the language of the beast, through which he communicates with the herd.

Bison are not something that can be gathered casually, and even if they are, they will certainly be difficult to manage. Generally speaking, the following apprentices need to help find the herd, and kill the cow, and finally use the beast language to drive the herd together, and the wizard selects the new cow and cultivates it, and finally the fox pretends to be a tiger, and gives orders in the name of the new cow.

This process is not easy, and it takes at least one year to prepare, and two years if conservative. Otherwise, with this southern barbarian mountain, it is not troublesome to really find 3,000 cows, but how to drive it will become a problem, after all, wizards will not really witchcraft......

The herd received the order, and immediately ran straight ahead with the cow that the wizard was riding.

The herd is actually very disciplined, as long as the cow leads, they will follow. Even if a cow guides them to the cliff, it will not hesitate. They all say cow temper, that's what they mean!

Of course, they also saw the enemy in front of them, but they definitely did not back down from it, and they had nothing to fear. The galloping of cattle is feared even by lions, and during the annual African savannah migration, the bison there run even the surrounding elephants and lions have to retreat, and if they want to hunt, they can only hunt those lone old cows or calves.

"Squirt!" Of course, Li Wen would not let them succeed, and immediately gave the order, and he even retreated to the back.

"Boom!" Under the manipulation of the soldiers, a large amount of flames erupted, forming a wall of fire.

The wizard who rushed to the front immediately knew that something was going to happen, but the running herd did not stop so easily, and immediately crashed towards the side of the wall of fire. The flames of the flamethrower were sprayed at high pressure, and they were mixed with other things, but they were not so easily extinguished, and they were only afraid that they would have to cut off a piece of flesh to avoid further burning.

It's just that this Southern Barbarian wizard was originally naked, and suddenly his whole body was wrapped in flames, and he screamed in pain, and naturally he couldn't care about controlling the herd.

The cow lost its restraints, and naturally regained its nature, in the end, it was a bison, and it was naturally extremely afraid of the fire, and it was immediately frightened to turn the bull's head. And the herd of cattle below naturally stopped their pace, and under the drive of the 'fire bull' in front, they kept turning around, and actually ran directly towards Meng Shu's side.

At this moment, the original bison array turned into a fire bull array, and even Meng Shu was stunned. Before he could react, the herd had already crashed into his position, and he didn't know how many people had overturned. The flames ignited the tent directly, turning the entire camp into a sea of fire.

Of course, Li Wen would not let go of this opportunity, and directly led his troops to cover up the past. Meng Shoubu had already become a frightened bird, and suddenly it was like a rabbit, and most of the soldiers were quickly captured.

Meng Yu Meng Wei also planned to fight the trapped beast, but he didn't want Li Wen to press the formation directly, so he first subdued Meng You, and then subdued Meng Yu with the help of the soldiers.

"Siege!" Now that Meng Huo had been captured, Li Wen had no scruples and immediately issued an order to siege the city.

On the same day, Bonan County was breached, and three days later, Buwei County was broken, and the Southern Silk Road finally fell into the hands of the Republic of China. However, what makes everyone very puzzled is why the reinforcements of the Han Empire have not been sent south for a long time?

Later, when new news came back, I learned that something had happened within the empire! (To be continued.) )
