Chapter 196: The First Battle
Meng Huo stood on the high mountain in the distance, looking at the scene in front of him, and his heart was terrified. He has always thought that the Han army living in the city is a comfortable life, and people who are used to living a comfortable life and are afraid of death, and they must be vulnerable. However, the scene in front of him was completely different from what he imagined, the Han army couldn't help but be afraid of death, and it was also fierce and abnormal, and the army with an absolute advantage in numbers actually fell behind! How is this possible?
"Scatter the troops! Cavalry Assault! ”
With Xu Huang shouting, the infantry troops who were fighting fiercely immediately broke away from the battle and scattered to both sides. Immediately after that, three thousand light cavalry surged out wrapped in thunder, crashing into the barbarian army like a raging wave, like a surging sand bank, and like the wind sweeping a wheat field, trampling with iron hooves, slashing with long knives, blood flying all over the sky, and the barbarian soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the screams rang out! Three thousand horsemen rushed forward like a furious rush, cutting through the enemy in one fell swoop! The fierce barbarian army was in disarray, and many people did not obey the order and began to flee!
The main infantry army took the opportunity to counterattack in an all-round way at this time, as if a huge ripple suddenly shook the earth! Fight your way into the middle of the barbarian army! The already panicked barbarian army couldn't resist it and fled one after another, and the situation was completely out of control!
……
The infantry of the Lu Bu army pursued and killed for several miles, and the cavalry pursued and killed for more than ten miles, and the corpses of the barbarian army were all over the field, and it was unbearable to see.
Meng Huo and his party led the remnants of the defeated army all the way south, and only stopped after a night and a day. People are sleepy and tired, and they are frightened. The centaurs rested by a small river for the time being.
Meng Shu said depressedly: "I didn't expect to be defeated!" Damn it! ”
Meng You, Meng You's younger brother, said with trepidation: "I have long heard that General Lu Bu's army is very sharp in the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" A barbarian general next to him said with deep sympathy: "This Leopard Tao Army is not the most elite in Lu Bu's army!" What if the best come? ”
Meng Huo glanced at the two of them, and said angrily: "Don't let others destroy your own prestige!" Although Lu Bu is strong, he is bound to the Central Plains, and the troops that can be put into the South Central War are very limited, and we will definitely win! ”
Meng You frowned and said, "Now that I think about it, then Cao Cao suddenly sent a messenger to give us such a holy decree, I'm afraid it's uneasy and kind!" They couldn't deal with Lu Bu themselves, so they wanted to drag us into the water! ”
Meng Shu bowed to the big hand, "I must have fallen for Cao Cao!" I have long had the heart to raise troops to fight the world! Whether Cao Cao used to buy us or not, if there is chaos today, it is a God-given opportunity for our generation to rise! Meng You and the barbarian generals felt that Meng Huo was reasonable, but they were worried that they were not Lu Bujun's opponent. Meng You said: "How to deal with the leopard army in front of you?" ”
Meng Yu pondered: "I think that although the bravery of Lu Bu's army on the battlefield is not stronger than our army, it is well-equipped and well-trained, and if our army confronts it head-on, I am afraid it will be difficult to win!" He smiled confidently, "But I already have a way!" The King of Mulu is very good at driving fierce beasts, and if he attacks the Han army with fierce beasts as the front, he will definitely win! Everyone was overjoyed, and Meng You said: "Big brother, this method is wonderful!" ”
Eyes turned to Luoyang.
Zhang Lang frowned as he looked at the military report he had just received, although Xu Huang had won a game not long ago, the situation in Yizhou made him even more worried. Now the leopard Taowei guarding Bashu has almost all the troops dispatched, Bashu is empty, and there are still people around who have not surrendered to the Qiang tribes, and there are still people who have a grudge against him Lu Bu. What to do? Transfer troops from Luoyang?
Zhang Lang shook his head slowly, if the troops are transferred from Luoyang, Luoyang's troops are empty, if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao jointly attack, although they have a tiger prison and a strong pass, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no case! If Luoyang is lost, it will be a heavy loss! But Yizhou is his own rear, and he can't mess up, let alone lose it! Zhang Lang felt that it was difficult to choose.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying came in and saluted together: "Lord (big brother)!" ”
Zhang Lang raised his head and said with a smile: "You are here." Have a seat. ”
"Thank you for your grandfather (big brother)." Each sits down on the left and right sides.
Zhang Lang asked, "You all know the situation in Xichuan, right?" ”
Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "I have learned." I wonder what the lord has planned? ”
Zhang Lang frowned and said: "Xichuan can't afford to lose, I want to transfer troops to reinforce Xichuan, but Luoyang's troops can't be transferred!" I'm struggling! ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "The lord might as well transfer General Zhang Liao back." ”
Zhang Lang was stunned, "Zhang Liao?!" Thinking about it, he nodded, "I forgot about the Tiger Wings!" The Western Regions Legion now has 30,000 horses, and with the support of so many small countries, it should not be a problem to hold Loulan. Frowning, "It's just that I can't dare to attack Wusun from the Otsuki Clan!" ”
Huang Yueying said: "Big brother doesn't need to worry too much! Although Wusun lost the previous battle, his strength should not be underestimated, and the Dayue clan wants to annex Wusun, and it will not be possible to do it in two or three years! ”
Zhang Lang frowned and said, "What Yueying said makes sense, but if we don't interfere in this matter, our prestige in the Western Regions will be gone!" ”
Huang Yueying smiled: "I already knew that my eldest brother would think so!" Well, Zhang Jian can gather the forces of the Western Regions Army and various small countries to deal with Wusun, try to avoid a head-on confrontation with the main force of the Dayue Clan, and just attack its grain route! Maybe it can change the tide of the war! ”
Zhang Lang thought about it and felt that it was the only way to do it now. The decision has been made, and the order is given immediately.
The next day, Zhang Lang left Luoyang and rushed to Hanzhong with Zhuge Liang and Eight Hundred Tigers, and the affairs of Luoyang were handed over to Huang Yueying.
Loulan in the Western Regions. Zhang Liao, who received Zhang Lang's order, was originally planning to gather troops to attack the Dayue clan, but now he could only change his plan and let Zhang Jian act according to Zhang Lang's strategy, while he himself led 100,000 Tiger Wing troops to leave Loulan and return to the east.
At this time, in the city of Chengdu, the dark tide was surging, and the local scholars were moving around, as if they were planning a big action.
The news of Zhang Lang's sudden arrival in Chengdu surprised everyone in the city.
That night, in a large mansion in the city of Chengdu, many representatives of the scholar clan gathered together to discuss a matter. An old man with gray hair and a Confucian shirt said with a hideous face: "That person actually arrived in Chengdu at this time, God really wants his life!" We should start and kill him at once! Kill him, and Nishikawa will be free! The crowd agreed. Someone said worriedly: "But there are still 5,000 defenders in the city, and the little strength we hide may not be able to do it!" The old man said confidently: "Don't worry! General Liu Xuan of the city defense army has been won over by us! Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then excited.
Look at the Thorn Mansion. Zhang Lang stood in front of the map and looked at the current situation in Nanzhong.
