Chapter 146: Complex Forces, Poisonous Insects and Beasts
To the west of Jiaozhou, at the junction of Qiqi and Yizhou counties
When Qin Qiong and Shamoke, the vanguard of Liu Xiu's army, arrived at the junction of the two armies, they ran into trouble
The Nanban tribes, most of them gathered in Yizhou County and nearby counties, among which the terrain is complex, there are many forces, but most of them are the king of the Meng clan, just as some time ago, a group of tribes jointly elected the young Meng clan who was not more than 20 years old Meng Shu as the king of the Nanban, leading the tribes of the Nanban, and the king of the Nanban has set up a number of marshals of the cave, such as the first cave marshal Jinhuan Sanjie, the second cave marshal Dong Dana, the third cave marshal A Huilan, the younger brother Meng You, the general is busy with the teeth, etc., these are the left and right arms of the barbarian king, guarding the northwest of Yizhou County, the lands south of the county;
To put it simply, most of Meng Shu and his forces are near the south of Yizhou County and Yueshan County, and at this time, the border between Qiqi County and Yizhou County is the Southern Barbarian Forte, which is a place where the Southern Barbarian tribes are mixed, and these tribes each have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but they are nominally vassals of Meng Huo, and Liu Xiu is the first to face these mixed tribes!
These mixed tribes also brought the Zhurong clan, the owner of the cave, with the brother of Mrs. Zhurong, Meng Huo's wife; Yang Feng, the owner of the Yinye Cave in the west of the Nanman Cave who wants to be adjacent to Meng Huo; Ugo vulture bones; The first wise man of the Southern Barbarians, the King of Duosi in Sanjiang City; And at this time, the Mulu King, who was closest to Liu Xiu, was headed by the chiefs of the five major tribes!
At this time, Qin Qiong and Shamoke were the first to face this Nanban Bana Cave Lord Mulu King!
King Mulu, the Southern Barbarian people, he is good at riding giant elephants, deep in spells, can call the wind and rain, followed by tigers, leopards, jackals, poisonous snakes and scorpions; There are 30,000 divine soldiers under his command, and they are very heroic.
Of course, although this deep spell and calling for wind and rain are rumors, it is indeed true to ride a giant elephant, control poisonous insects and beasts, and 30,000 soldiers and horses
Therefore, the first trouble Qin Qiong and the others encountered was this Mulu King and the 30,000 poisonous insects and beasts to which he belonged
Qin Qiong and Shamoke were ordered by General Liu Xiu to be the vanguard and deputy generals, leading 5,000 Changsha elite soldiers and 5,000 Wuxi barbarian soldiers, with a total of 10,000 troops, and they traveled day and night for more than half a month before arriving at the junction of Qiqi and Yizhou;
However, Qin Qiong and the others, who had just arrived not far from Dianchi Lake, only stopped for two days, and then ran into the King of Mulu who rushed to hear the news!
This is Qin Qiong's first battle in the late Han Dynasty, and King Mulu doesn't know his name, so he didn't think much about it, but after leaving the old and weak in the clan, he led 30,000 fierce beast soldiers under his command, across giant elephants, tigers and leopards, and wolves, all the way to Qin Qiong!
As soon as the two armies faced each other, Qin Qiong and the others had not yet made a move, and they saw a general in front of the opposite formation, riding a white elephant, wearing a golden bead, with two big knives hanging from his waist, holding a bell, constantly shaking, and his mouth was full of words, like a spell, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the formation behind him were also moving in their hands;
Although Qin Qiong learned about the ability of King Mulu from Shen Kuo, after all, he had never seen his ability to resist beasts with his own eyes, so he didn't know why, so he could only order the soldiers to be more vigilant in preparation for his means!
Sure enough, a moment later, the army behind King Mulu suddenly flew sand and stones, like a shower; As soon as the horn sounded, the tigers, leopards, jackals, poisonous snakes and beasts beside his soldiers actually rushed out, fangs and claws, and rushed towards Qin Qiongjun!
Seeing this, even if he was prepared in his heart, the soldiers and horses under his command could not help but be frightened and confused
But he is a famous general in the world, and he is full of experience on the battlefield, so he will naturally not be frightened by these, and he will only pacify his generals in a moment and form a formation to guard
Although the soldiers under the command of the Mulu King are not accompanied by fierce beasts, these tigers, leopards and jackals are still as many as thousands, and in addition, what is more difficult to defend against is the small and exquisite, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that drill through cracks
Therefore, even if Qin Qiong tried his best to resist in formation, and also had Sun Lao's medicine to assist, he was still a little in a hurry, and many soldiers were injured and poisoned, making it difficult to resist
Under such a dangerous situation, Qin Qiong immediately changed his mind, and Yi Shou attacked, with more than 100 cavalry guards under his command, and charged at the location of the Mulu King
The cavalry guards, both guards and cavalry, are naturally warriors in the army, the highest martial arts, although they are not all rivals of tigers and wolves, but it is not difficult to form a formation and break through the attacks of these beasts;
Not long after, the 100 cavalry led by Qin Qiong had already rushed to the front of the Mulu King's array!
Qin Qiong, a general, a fierce general, and a brave general, can single-handedly kill the enemy among the ten thousand armies, which shows his bravery! At this time, Qin Qiong's crotch was a yellow horse, holding a tiger's head chiseled golden gun, carrying a gold-plated double copper mace, majestic, extremely fast, a spear in his right hand, and went to the chest of King Mulu!
At the same time, his left hand instantly pulled out the golden hammer behind his back and swung it towards the mount of the Mulu King!
However, although the King of Mulu didn't know Qin Qiong's bravery, and his martial arts were not good, he was two white elephants across the body, holding two very important knives in his hands, and he had a high advantage
As for the white elephant, it was thick-skinned, and after receiving Qin Qiong's blow, it just 'screamed' and took two steps back
King Mulu glanced at his cracked tiger's mouth, felt the dangerous shot, trembling hands, and immediately decided to retreat--- This man is invincible! Fear of death to get longer!
So, King Mulu wiped his left hand on his chest and raised it
In an instant, there was a puff of smoke and powder towards that Qin Qiong
Before Qin Qiong could wait for the smoke to arrive, he smelled a foul smell, and then saw many small snakes and scorpions coming towards him, he didn't have much time to think about it, so he could only retreat while quickly dancing the tiger head gun in his hand to disperse the smoke!
And King Mulu also took this opportunity to retreat to the army formation behind him, making it difficult for Qin Qiong to find him
Seeing this, Qin Qiong was not persistent, and immediately turned his horse back and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
The first encounter ended hastily when neither side was unclear about the other's abilities, and neither side ever had the upper hand
At night, in Qin Qiong's tent
"General Shamoke, although you are not in the Southern Barbarians, you are also a barbarian king, do you know the weakness of this beast soldier?!" Thinking of the battle during the day, Qin Qiong asked Sha Moke in distress;
Although Shamoke is the king of Wuxi, he has never seen the methods of this Mulu King in the past, so he shook his head and said: "The last general only knows that this Mulu King can use medicine and other means to control beasts, but he doesn't know how to break it!" ”
"However, according to the last general, poisonous insects and beasts have always been afraid of fire, and they may be able to attack with fire!"
When Qin Qiong heard this, he still shook his head and said: "I also know this, but there are too many tiger and wolf poisonous insects in the enemy, and the fire of ordinary torches and rockets is too weak, which is simply not enough to retreat the enemy in the battle formation!" ”
Qin Qiong recalled the danger of the day, and secretly said in her heart: If it weren't for the medicine made by Sun Lao, I am afraid that I would suffer heavy losses today! ‘
However, suddenly, Qin Qiong seemed to think of something, and turned his head and ordered his own soldiers: "Send all the scouts to find out the enemy's movements!.''"
Such a general order, but Qin Qiong remembered the most common trick for generals!
