Zhang Xutuo took a closer look and nodded: "Yes, it should be a barbarian, these people are shirtless and tattooed, no clothes, no armor, not even shields and blow arrows, they are all wielding this kind of two-handed broadsword, spine and feet, obviously much more savage and stronger than the white barbarian soldiers we met a while ago, it is undoubtedly a barbarian." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "So, Fu Zhen led the troops to save his brother, no wonder the thief army has such a momentum, Zhang Dudu, is this military discussion also for this matter?" ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled slightly: "Yes, when I first arrived here, our army camped while sending General Mai to take people to investigate the enemy's situation, General Mai had come back just now, and then the marshal ordered to raise the account, General Wang, go quickly, Marshal Shi's military law is extremely strict, and if you go late, you will be punished." ”

Wang Shichong nodded and walked in the direction of Shuai Tent: "Then I'll go to Shi Dashuai now." ”

When Wang Shichong walked into the tent, everyone had almost arrived, Mai Tiezhu, Duan Da, Sima Dekan, Liu Quan, Feng Xiaoci, these five people all followed the main force to act together this time, in addition to these five people, Yang Wutong, Yu Juluo, Yu Juzan, plus Zhang Xutuo, who can independently command a small detachment, is the general at the time of this decisive battle, Wan Zhiguang, the sissy who barely hung up a leather armor and leather helmet, was also the first to stand on the right side, constantly wiping the sweat on his face.

Shi Wansui is fully armed today, with bright light armor, a big red robe, and a golden helmet on his head, showing the majesty and bearing of the commander, and after seeing Wang Shichong come in, he said in a deep voice: "General Wang, why are you here now?" ”

Wang Shichong didn't dare to slack off, arched his hand, and said: "General Hui Shi, the last general observed the reality of the enemy army on the arrow tower in front of the camp, and looked at it twice, so it was too late. ”

Shi Wansui did not speak. With a wave of his hand, Wang Shichong stood back to his position as the second on the left, standing beside Yang Wutong, along the way, Yang Wutong had the highest official rank, the first on the left, Wan Zhiguang's status was extraordinary, and the first on the right, and Wang Shichong and Yu Juluo were the emperor's personal orders, and the other was the general of Shangkaifu. They are second to the left and right, and the others are of equal rank and tend to stand casually.

I only heard Shi Wansui's majestic voice sound: "Generals, you must have also investigated the situation of the enemy army, but the troops that the enemy army placed in the company camp outside are only the tip of the iceberg. General Mai, tell me what you see. ”

Mai Tiezhu stood up with a serious face. A military salute was made. Lang Sheng said: "This time I probed their situation in the dense forests on both sides, to be honest, to be honest, to my surprise, now the front of our army is a plain three miles wide, and the edge of the plain is a dense forest about half a mile apart, according to my reconnaissance. The total number of enemy troops in the dense forest was thirty or forty thousand, and most of them were white barbarian soldiers. ”

Yuju Luoha laughed: "The combat effectiveness of the white barbarian soldiers is not good, we have seen a lot these days, even if it is an ambush." There is no need to be afraid, we are still the old tactic, using baggage carts to connect together to cover the flanks, and the front is advanced by strong bows and crossbows and ironclad infantry, and these barbarians can stop without stopping. ”

Mai Tiecane's eyebrows furrowed, and he shook his head: "General Yu, I'm afraid that the situation is not so optimistic, the captives explained a few days ago that the Bai Barbarians who fought with us were just the Liuzhao tribe in the Xi'er River, not the main elite of the Bai Barbarians, and several of their big tribes, such as the headquarters of the planing and the tribe of the big ghost master, but they have not been put into battle, and this time I also found in the reconnaissance that the reinforcements of the Wuman tribe have also arrived, which I am afraid that many generals have also found out." ”

Many people nodded one after another, and Yang Wutong said: "Yes, I also observed that those enemy troops in front of our army were dressed completely different from the white barbarian soldiers, and they looked fierce and abnormal, and there were even quite a few cavalry. It should be the Ukrainian barbarian reinforcements that General Mai said. ”

Mai Tie Staff continued: "There are no barbarian soldiers found in the dense forests on both sides, but those white barbarian soldiers are all wearing rattan shields, and they are also wearing the kind of armor that looks like old rattan weaving, far from the white barbarian soldiers of the Six Zhao tribes we met a while ago, I am afraid that we can't be careless." ”

Wan Zhiguang laughed: "What can the rattan armor do, how can it compare to the iron armor of our army?" When the time comes, it's not just a shot and a piercing, don't worry!"

Wang Shichong suddenly thought of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had seen in later generations, in which the barbarian king Meng won the war with an invulnerable rattan armor soldier, although the romance must be exaggerated, but this rattan armor soldier as a characteristic of the southern and central regions, it should not be underestimated, he hurriedly said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, I have read the ancient soldier book said, this rattan armor soldier is a must in Ningzhou, not with ordinary rattan weaving, but from a thousand years old vine, soaked in oil, and then exposed to the sun, and then put in a cool cave for three years, three years later, and then take out, Repeat, more than ten times like this, it takes decades to produce a rattan armor with excellent strength and toughness, which is claimed to be invulnerable. ”

This era has not yet come out, and Li Ke has never mentioned any rattan armor soldiers, as soon as Wang Shichong's words came out, even Shi Wansui was slightly stunned and asked: "General Wang, what rattan armor soldiers?" How did you find out? ”

Wang Shichong suddenly realized that there might be some leakage of heavenly secrets, these people must not know the future generations, let alone play the Three Kingdoms game in the later generations, so he replied: "When I was studying before, I read an ancient book that said that these southwest barbarians have to hunt all day long, and often face tigers, leopards and beasts, so they also need armor to defend themselves.

It is said that the rattan armor made by this method has a very strong protective power, and even the claws of the tiger and leopard can resist the bite of the teeth, but I don't know if the steel knife and iron lance against us can be blocked. ”

Shi Wansui pondered for a moment and said, "Since the barbarians have such powerful weapons, why don't they take them out and use them early?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Well, the last general guessed, firstly, the protective power of this rattan armor may not be as divine as the legend, and secondly, this may be the housekeeping equipment of the headquarters of the planing, and it will not be used by small tribes like Liuzhao, just like the headquarters of the Turkic Khans on the grassland only have iron armor and iron arrowheads, while the servant tribes only have leather armor and bone arrowheads, a truth." All the generals felt that their words were reasonable, and nodded again and again.

Shi Wansui continued to ask: "Then, according to General Wang's view, what is the intention of these rattan armor soldiers ambushing in the dense forests on both sides of our army?" And how should our army cope? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "The last general doesn't believe that they can really be as invulnerable as the legend, otherwise they would have attacked head-on a long time ago, and there is no need to ambush, but the protective ability of the vine armor soldiers is stronger than those white barbarian soldiers of the Liuzhao tribe who have no armor to defend themselves in the previous stage, but it is certain."

I expected that the enemy's strategy was to use fierce barbarian soldiers to storm the front of our army, and even sent those cavalry riding southwest horses to take the lead, covering the infantry behind to follow up, and when the battle was fierce, the rattan armor soldiers in ambush in the forest were dispatched to flank and rear of our army, in an attempt to completely annihilate our army in one battle. ”

Wan Zhiguang's head began to sweat, this Yang Xiu's close attendant did not have any military talent at all, and along the way, he watched the white barbarian soldiers of the Sui army who broke the six edicts like chopping melons and vegetables, and thought that the war was really so easy, when he heard Wang Shichong's words, he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he said in a loud voice: "General Wang, what do you say, why don't we stick here and wait for the king of Shu to send follow-up troops?" ”

Yang Wutong glanced at Wan Zhiguang with disdain, and said in a deep voice: "Wan joins the army, don't be impatient, after all, our army is strong, in addition to the more than 10,000 Shu soldiers guarding the back road, there are now 10,000 Guanzhong strong brigades and 8,000 Shu soldiers, who can fight in one battle without destroying their own prestige." ”

Wan Zhiguang said this to Yang Wutong, didn't dare to say more, and closed his mouth.

Yang Wutong looked at Wang Shichong, and said: "General Wang, according to the general, if the enemy army wants to use this style of play, for the rattan armor soldiers on both sides, it needs to be strictly guarded, and there must be more archers on the cart, especially strong crossbowmen with strong penetrating power, and when they leave the dense forest and attack on a large scale, then the strong bow and hard crossbow will be launched at full speed, and ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, shooting them all over the field."
