Sanjiang City, Yizhou County

Seeing that his reinforcements --- the vultures and their 30,000 vine armor soldiers were burned all in an instant, King Duosi was so frightened that he no longer returned to the city, but went straight to the Bald Dragon Cave with hundreds of guards

Sanjiang City is close to the Bald Dragon Cave on the left, and King Duosi still has tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there, but he wants to use this soldier and the four-eyed poisonous spring to make a comeback!

however

Under Sanjiang City, Liu Xiu saw that King Duosi was fleeing, and immediately commanded the army to catch up

As for Sanjiang City, the vulture bone and the 30,000 vine armor soldiers under his command have all been broken and defeated, Liu Xiu only left a few thousand elite soldiers to deal with the remaining trivial matters, and the other tens of thousands of soldiers and horses followed him to pursue the running King Duosi

Not long after, Liu Xiu chased King Duosi to the mountains and forests near the Bald Dragon Cave

Bald Dragon Cave, the entire mountain forest within a radius of several miles can be described as poor mountains and bad waters, and most of the people who enter are poisoned to death, but there are a huge number of copper mines, iron mines, etc., and King Duosi is proficient in the way of such poisons, therefore, for many years, this place has been occupied by King Duosi, and others can't interfere at all! And King Doth also values this place, and he has a heavy army stationed here

When Liu Xiu arrived at the foot of this mountain, he saw that this mountain was full of smoke everywhere, and there were people with strange colors, peculiar smells, and hot steam, and so on, all over the mountain

"Order the armies to put the antidote in their mouths, but if it is weird, take it immediately!" When Liu Xiu saw the situation in the mountains, he immediately frowned and said seriously;

Although it has been almost ten years since Liu Xiu came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he still insists on the little scientific knowledge of his previous life in his heart, however, now that he sees the situation of the four-eyed poisonous spring and the Bald Dragon Cave, he feels that he is deviating more and more from the so-called science!

After a while, Liu Xiu ordered again: "Order the Beifu Army, immediately bring on the mask prepared earlier!" Slowly enter the mountains to search! ”

The so-called 'mask' was prepared by Liu Xiu earlier and was intended to be used to reorganize his personal guards, it was a ghost face soaked in Sun Lao's medicine, although it can only refresh the mind, but in this era of believing in ghosts and gods, it can often have a special effect!

As for the reorganization of the guards, it is because Liu Xiu has always felt that there are still many problems in the two guards under his command (5000 Jinyi Guards and 5001st Beifu Army), just as Jinyi Guards are not like armies, but more like officers and soldiers; Therefore, he has planned to return to Changsha this time, put Jinyiwei into the political system, keep it for the official yamen, and then transfer the elites of each army, with the remaining 5,000-first class Beifu Army as the center, and reorganize a 20,000-strong ghost-faced guard!

"Whoa!" The five thousand Beifu troops moved quickly, and they all took out a ghost face from their waists, the mask was blue and red, with fangs and black eyes, and the beard and hair, with the black clothes and armor of the Beifu army, and bloody weapons, even if the blue sky and the sun were shining, it could make people frightened!

Five thousand Beifu soldiers were dressed in black, and Liu Xiu, who was waiting, gave an order, and the fierce waves went to the mountain!

Zhang Oyster was ordered to lead the army deep into the mountains and forests, and carried the antidote to Sun Lao, and the place where he passed could be said to be without livestock and blood-stained mountains and forests

Although the king of Duosi gathered the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he had left behind in the Bald Dragon Cave, he immediately escaped into the mountains and forests, hiding near the poisonous spring, each holding a highly poisonous knife and arrow, waiting for the Chu army

In the dense forest, it is difficult to carry out large-scale frontal combat, so the Beifu army is divided into zero, a team of 100 people, echoing back and forth, and slowly searching this mountain forest

The deeper you go into the forest, the more encrypting the traps become, but what the Beifu army is best at is coordinated operations, one person falls into the trap, and immediately dozens or even hundreds of people cooperate with each other, so these traps cannot pose a threat to the Beifu army at all

As a result, the two armies began to fight in the mountains and forests!

One party was born in the mountains and forests and is familiar with the situation;

On the other side, the military discipline is strict and the cooperation is seamless, and a team of 100 people can be besieged by 1,000 people

In the dark, damp dense forest, the black-clothed, ghost-faced fanged Beifu army entered and exited quickly, sometimes hiding in the smoke, sometimes appearing in the mountains and forests, and the Qi saber in his hand was raised, taking away the lives of the barbarians who knew the poisonous forest well, but were undisciplined, like grass cowards

Soon after the start of the fight, Liu Xiuzhong's elite soldiers were also ready to prevent poison, and began to sweep the poisonous forest on a large scale with the momentum of an iron wall

King Duosi, who had lost his poisonous dependence, and his barbarian soldiers, were surrounded by Liu Xiu, and were in turmoil

In the spring of Nanban, the mountains, forests, and waterways were quite humid, and a sudden spring rain swept across Nanban, destroying all the mud roads in Nanban, causing Liu Xiu to have to take a truce in Sanjiang City for half a month

However, these are not bad things for Liu Xiu and many of his strategists!

Although the march pays attention to 'the speed of soldiers', it is also a strategy for Liu Xiu at this time, for Liu Xiu who swept away the three major forces of Mulu, Duosi, and Wutu Bone with the power of thunder, and Liu Xiu, who defeated nearly 100,000 barbarian soldiers;

Liu Xiu's soldiers were so powerful and swift that they caused all kinds of rumors and even huge panic in all parts of the Southern Barbarians!

'The yellow-faced Meng tastes the fire in the sky at night! ’

'The Twin Halberd General captures the Barbarian King alive!' ’

'Tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves retreat when they see them! ’

'The black-clothed ghost army is neither dead nor wounded!' ’

All kinds of news became more and more crazy, like a plague, and quickly spread all over the Nanban, causing great panic to all ethnic groups and forces

At this time, Liu Xiu was also very busy

He had just conquered the southeast of Yizhou County and other places, in which the forces were complicated, and he was not like the legendary Zhuge Seven Capture and Seven Columns in later generations;

Therefore, he could only transfer troops and materials from Qi Qi County, Jiaozhi County and other places, and suppressed them strongly, while giving favors, and under the combination of grace and power, he quickly pacified the livelihood of the people in the southern and central regions and established prestige!

At the same time, Liu Xiu even sent his chamber of commerce to start a business with Nanban characteristics such as animal fur in Nanzhong, so as to stabilize the barbarians and people in Nanzhong!

ps: The difference between the first-class Beifu Army and the second-class Beifu Army is that the training materials and time invested are different, and the first-class army is because Liu Xiu did not have other forces earlier, and he concentrated all the material training, so it is stronger than the strong army; The second-class army was only stronger than the elite soldiers because it had territory later, the materials were scattered, and the time was less
