Chapter 427: A Jie Sven
Meng Jie said: "Shu Hou, if you guess correctly, this person is the king of Mulu, the master of the Ba Na Cave in the southwest of the Yinkeng Cave, and the Ba Na Cave has always been friendly with my Yinkeng Cave.
The king of Mulu has mediocre martial arts, but he is gifted with miraculous abilities, and he can control beasts, which can make two hundred beasts, five hundred snakes and scorpions, and birds. Not to be underestimated. ”
"Is there really such a miracle?"
Liu Zhang groaned, and suddenly remembered the girl from the Western Regions, thinking about it carefully, from the first night when the girl fled in a panic, Wang Xu's own soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes, and later Yangping Pass resisted the enemy, and Ma Chao's army was also trapped by poisonous bees.
Later, in the Diren Valley, the girl wanted to escape, but the Diren chased after her, and even the Diren, who had been dealing with snakes and scorpions since childhood, was bitten.
The most amazing thing is that during the Qiangzhai gambling game, the girl was bitten by a deadly poisonous centipede, but she didn't die, but Diren was bitten to death on the spot by a small snake she carried.
Now that I think about it, it is very likely that the girl was not poisoned at all, and pretending to be poisoned was to lure Liu Zhang to help him pick the herbs, and took the opportunity to escape, and with his own connivance, he succeeded.
Combining these facts, I didn't feel anything at the beginning, I just thought it was a coincidence, I didn't believe that anyone in the world could control the beasts, and now it seems that with this Mulu King, the girl is likely to be the same kind of person, who can control the snake, scorpion, bee and butterfly.
But the girl is more powerful than the King of Mulu, listening to what Meng Jie said, the tigers, leopards, jackals, snakes, scorpions, and beasts of the King of Mulu should all be domesticated by him, but the girl can use local materials, even in the snow-covered winter, she can summon the snake out of the ground, which is really incredible.
"This king of wooden deer can control all kinds of beasts and birds. There are beasts to help. Before the battle, our army will suffer a big loss. How can it be broken? ”
Yang Feng was covered in a black battle armor with a lot of mud, a little embarrassed, but he did not lose his heroic spirit, and stepped forward and said: "Shu Hou, the King of Mulu not only has a fierce beast army, but also 30,000 elites, which is comparable to the strength of my Yinye Cave in the West, plus the tens of thousands of troops of Meng Shu and King Duosi. It is difficult to break, so it is recommended to capture a city first, as a garrison place, and Xu Tu will plan later. ”
"He Cheng?"
"Three Rivers City."
Liu Zhang sighed slightly: "Okay, attack Sanjiang City first, as a place to stay, and then fight with King Mulu, in addition, please go to Sanjiang City." ”
Two months have passed, and Huang Yueying's body should be almost recuperated. Without Huang Yueying by his side, Liu Zhang was really a little unaccustomed.
…………
Sanjiang City. It is the first big city in the barbarian area, when the horse aid was attacked here, it was originally built to integrate the southwest Yi, but after Emperor Guangwu, the Eastern Han Dynasty no longer had the heart to expand, and gradually abandoned, occupied by the barbarian army, and became the place where the barbarian region traded on its own.
After the Meng family led the children of the family to Yinkengdong a hundred years ago, they occupied Sanjiang City, and the richness of silver mines in Yinkengdong made the Meng family rise rapidly, and Sanjiang City was the gateway to Yinkengdong.
Sanjiang is Lushui, Gannan water, Xicheng water, three roads of water meet, Sanjiang City is located at the intersection of the fifteenth day of every month, barbarians will trade things here.
Liu Zhang led an army of 100,000 to Sanjiang City, breaking the tranquility here, the barbarians who had not seen the Han army for two hundred years were suddenly panicked and closed the market.
Liu Zhang and the generals went up the mountain to check the city defense, did not look at the don't know, looked frightened, on the way to think that the so-called wild first city, how majestic and upright, the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At this time, I saw that there were ruins everywhere, and the city wall was originally less than two zhang, and there were gaps everywhere, thinking that the barbarians occupied this city, and it had not been repaired since two hundred years ago.
The barbarians stood on it, and they didn't see any tools to defend the city, so it was probably the barbarians who poked with brute knives.
Huang Zhong laughed: "Lord, such a ruined city, hand it over to his subordinates, build siege equipment in three days, and within two days, he will go down this city." ”
"General Huang, don't be careless." Yang Feng said: "King Duosi is known as the first wise man in the wilderness, but it is not a waste of fame, his subordinates have heard that King Duosi took strange materials from the deep mountains and made a hundred hard crossbows, each crossbow can send ten arrows, used to defend the city, and the power is incomparable." ”
Liu Zhang and the Sichuan army generals looked into the distance, and there were indeed some crossbow racks arranged in the gap on the city wall, which was not very clear from a distance. If these vague things can really shoot ten arrows in one shot, it is really amazing, and the creation level of King Duosi is no less than that of Huang Yueying Ma Jun.
"That's fine." Deng Zhi said: "This city is so low, there are many gaps, even if there is a hard crossbow to defend the city, just fill the city with soil, and the city will be broken." ”
The generals asked for their lives, and Liu Zhang said: "The generals are wise and brave, but. Liu Zhang put his hand on his forehead, "Benhou wants to leave this city, if we attack hard, we will inevitably destroy this city." ”
Sanjiang City is said to be a city, but in fact, it is equivalent to a remote county town in the Han District, or even a town surrounded by city walls, if the Sichuan army rushes in to fight with the barbarian army, the barbarian trading stalls and shops, as well as the dwellings, etc., will inevitably be destroyed, so that Sanjiang City will be difficult to recover.
And Liu Zhang needs this city, and even Liu Zhang needs more cities, as long as the barbarians can be urbanized, it is already a big step in control, leaving Sanjiang City behind, garrisoning troops here like East Tsing Yi, opening a mutual market with the barbarians, so that Sanjiang City's status among the barbarians rises, as a base for the Han army, the effect on the assimilation of the barbarians, is almost the same as the Wudao Enzheng.
If he could, Liu Zhang hoped that Sanjiang City would be preserved, even if it was an old city that had not been repaired for hundreds of years.
"If you want to keep the city, it will be difficult, the army will enter Sanjiang City and fight the barbarian army, and it will inevitably be ruined, unless the barbarians can surrender, but it is impossible."
The generals were silent.
If the barbarian army does not surrender, it can only fight hard, and if it can find other ways to attack Sanjiang City, it will definitely make the barbarian army chaotic in an instant, and the city will not be destroyed.
But where to find a second way?
Liu Zhang asked people to take out a map of the area around Sanjiang City and look at it carefully, there was no other road to pass.
Liu Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Meng Jie: "Childe, you are familiar with the terrain in this area, is there a place called Pansnake Valley?" ”
"Snake Valley?" Meng Jie thought for a while: "It seems that there is really such a place, I seem to have heard people mention it when I was a child, probably in the south of Sanjiang City, how did Shu Hou know?" ”
Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers in the Snake Valley, and the local people said at that time, "The name of the valley is Talangdian, and the road of Sanjiang City is out of the valley." ”
That is to say, as long as you find this place, you can detour to the south of Sanjiang City, according to the natives, and Zhuge Liang used troops at the beginning, this road is not so difficult, but the area of the Snake Valley is more secret, send someone to search, you will definitely be able to find it.
Liu Zhang immediately sent Bao'er, Hua Boy, Shamoke and other Wuxi barbarian generals, as well as Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, to the south to search for the Pansnake Valley area, and the self-unified army drowned under Sanjiang City.
King Duosi and King Mulu have a clear division of labor, King Duosi, as the "first wise man in the barbarian region", of course, is strategizing, defending the city against the enemy, and the army of beasts under the command of King Mulu goes out of the city to fight.
Hearing that the Sichuan army was killed, King Mulu snorted: "Liu Zhang, is Xiao'er here to find death?" Seeing my army of beasts as if they were nothing, I'm going to give him some power. ”
The king of Mulu rode an elephant and led his 30,000 barbarian troops out of the city, and tigers, leopards, jackals, snakes and scorpions let out a heart-stopping roar in front of the battle.
If the general army saw it, it would definitely be panicked, but the Sichuan army was in Yangping Pass, and the scene of 200,000 Xiliang iron horsemen riding horses at the same time was seen.
In the barbarian army, the king of Mulu rode out of the ranks on a white elephant. A body of jewels is very gorgeous, even the elephant is draped in gold paper, looking down on the Sichuan army, with a big knife on the left and right waists, and a bell in his hand, at first glance...... Astonishing.
"Wuda, Liu Zhang'er, invaded my territory for no reason, today I want you to see the power of my Mulu King."
King Mulu sat high on the war elephant, and with a pair of copper bells, he looked at Liu Zhang, who was half smaller than his body and a body shorter than himself on a war horse, with a pair of copper bells and big eyes.
"King Wuna Mulu, don't be rampant, do you dare to fight with me Huang Zhong for three hundred rounds?" Huang Zhong stepped out of the ranks, raised his sword and shouted.
"Hahaha." King Mulu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Old thing, do you want to laugh at the dead?" The competition is ruthless, and the reckless man does it, how can I, the king of Mulu, do such a vulgar thing? ”
King Mulu smiled and leaned back together, the bell in his hand was violated, making a crisp bell, and the wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in front of the battle were all hoarse and grinning, and the roar was endless.
"Brother Mulu." Meng Jie came out: "Brother Mulu, little brother Meng Jie, can you remember the old man?" ”
"The eldest prince?" King Mulu was sitting proudly on the tall elephant, and when he saw Meng Jie, his face fell: "Eldest prince, as the son of Yinkengdong, the eldest brother of King Meng Huo, why are you in the enemy camp?" I can't attack with confidence if you are like this, I don't want my babies to bite Liu Zhang to death, and bite you to death, that brother can't get by, come over quickly. ”
"Brother Mulu, I know that you came to help my brother because Bana Cave and Yinkeng Cave have been friendly for generations, and Meng Jie is grateful to save my Yinkeng Cave from fire and water."
Meng Jie bowed to King Mulu.
"But today's Meng Huo, betrayed his father, and rebelled, he can't rule the Yinkeng Cave at all, if Brother Mulu really thinks that Bana Cave and Yinkeng Cave have been friendly for generations, he should follow me to capture Meng Huo, an unscrupulous person, Brother Mulu must not do bad things with good intentions."
King Mulu was silent, Meng Shu killed his father and took the throne himself, he knew, for this, King Mulu was also awkward in his heart, but Yinkengdong and Ba Na Cave have been friendly for generations, there are many in-laws, and they support each other, since the wood has become a boat, they can't let the friendship be ruined in their own hands. (To be continued.) )
