Chapter 1375: The Second Capture of Meng Huo
More and more Han troops poured onto the riverbank, and when the first war elephant rushed onto the riverbank, the barbarian war elephant also rushed up from the rear.
The barbarian, who was running in front, heard footsteps shaking the earth behind him, and hurriedly turned his head and looked back.
When they saw that there were nearly 1,000 sturdy war elephants rushing up, many of them were taken aback and hurriedly dodged to the side.
The barbarian war elephants that poured up did not just move forward in a straight line, but when they charged, they surged forward like a torrent.
Some of the barbarians, who didn't have time to dodge, were hit by their own war elephants, and before they even had time to let out a miserable howl, they were trampled under the feet of the war elephants.
Patches of barbarians were knocked down by their own war elephants, and by the time the barbarian war elephants rushed to the front of the Han army, their impact power had been exhausted, and the war elephants could only rely on their long noses to whip the Han soldiers who rushed to them.
A barbarian war elephant rushed to the front of the Han army, flicked its long nose, and rolled up a Han army.
The soldier of the Han army, who was swept up by the war elephant, only felt that there was a strong force pressing him on his waist, but he did not wave his blade and cut at the elephant's trunk because of this strong oppressive force.
The sharp sword slashed into the elephant's trunk, and the thick trunk suddenly had a long opening.
Out of pain, the elephant hissed and threw the Han army out of force.
At the same time that the barbarian war elephant threw the Han army out, another Han soldier held a Mo knife in both hands, roared angrily and rushed towards the war elephant, stabbing the Mo knife into the war elephant's abdomen.
The sharp Mo knife pierced into the belly of the war elephant, and the huge war elephant let out a terrible howl and fell down heavily.
The two brutes on the back of the elephant didn't have time to jump off, so they fell to the ground with the war elephant and were crushed under the elephant's huge body.
The Han army in front was still fighting with the barbarians, and the barbarian war elephants rushed into the Han army, and the soldiers on both sides soon mixed up in one place, staggered with each other, swords and swords everywhere, shouting and killing.
The Han war elephants that rushed to the river bank did not charge as quickly as the barbarian war elephants.
They marched slowly and steadily towards the barbarian war elephants, and the Han soldiers on the back of the elephants put arrows on their crossbows and shot feathered arrows at the barbarians on the back of the elephants opposite.
Patches of feathered arrows flew towards the barbarian elephants on the opposite side, and the barbarians on the elephant's back were hit by arrows and landed one after another.
The barbarians who rode them were shot with crossbows, some of the war elephants were still crowded among the soldiers on both sides, waving their long noses to help the barbarians fight, and many more of them turned around and retreated towards the outside of the war group.
Meng Shu, who didn't expect the Han army to suddenly cross the river, saw Xu Chu wielding a big knife and galloping back and forth among the barbarians, and he was invincible, so he was furious in his heart, brandished his blade, and went straight to kill Xu Chu.
was being entangled by a group of barbarians, and Xu Chu was also irritable in his heart.
Holding the hilt of the big knife in both hands, Xu Chu let out a cry while slashing at the barbarians rushing towards him.
Just as he was about to kill, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him: "That guy don't go, eat me with a knife!" ”
Hearing the shout, Xu Chu turned his head violently, and what he saw was Meng Shu who rushed towards him.
Seeing that Meng was killed, Xu Chu shouted, "It's good!" ", turned around the war horse, and faced Meng Shu and killed him.
Wielding a war knife, he rode his horse and rushed towards Xu Chu, Meng Huoyuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't stop shouting.
Galloping towards him, Xu Chu held the big knife in his right hand, and at the same time as he was about to pass by Meng Yu, the big knife in his hand was annoyed
The sharp knife slashed at the head of the war horse, and the war horse didn't even have time to neigh, and the huge head was three-dimensional.
The war horse galloping forward, his legs were weak, he turned over and fell out, Meng Shu on horseback was holding a war knife and wanted to chop Xu Chu, but before he could cut the war knife, the war horse that had fallen out was thrown away.
Flying out of the air, Meng Shu watched the ground get closer and closer to him, closed his eyes, and waited for the moment when his head hit the ground.
However, he didn't wait for his head to hit the ground, and the moment he was hit by the brain, seeing that he was about to hit the ground, he felt the back of his neck tighten, and he was forced to slip up.
Xu Chu, who was riding his horse and staggered with him, lifted him up at the moment when Meng Shu was about to land, and rushed towards the outside of the battle group.
On the bank of the river, although the soldiers of the Han army did not have an advantage in numbers, but under the fighting between the two sides, the Han army kept advancing forward, and the barbarians, who were relatively superior in numbers, retreated step by step.
On the other side of the riverbank, Zhuge Jun, who was watching the battle situation, saw the Han army advancing forward step by step, and waved behind him and shouted: "Cross the river!" ”
The soldiers who followed behind Zhuge Jun got the order and immediately followed him towards the opposite side of the riverbank.
The war horse stepped on the pontoon bridge on the river, and when Zhuge Jun was about to reach the opposite side of the riverbank, he heard the shout of a personal soldier behind him: "General, there are two groups of men and horses coming from behind!" ”
Hearing the shouts of his own soldiers, Zhuge Jun hurriedly turned his head and glanced back.
What he saw was two puffs of smoke and dust coming from behind.
The smoke and dust were still far from the riverbank, and the place where they flocked was the camp where the Han army had been stationed earlier.
Seeing the two puffs of smoke and dust that were still far away, Zhuge Jun turned his head and accelerated towards the opposite side of the riverbank.
When the soldiers who followed him had crossed the river, he waved his hand at the hundreds of barbarians soaking in the river.
Seeing his gesture, hundreds of barbarians soaking in the river cut off the ropes that bound the wood.
As the rope was cut, the logs broke away from the pontoon bridge and drifted downstream, and soon the pontoon bridge that supported the Han army to cross the river was dismantled by the barbarians.
The pontoon bridge was dismantled, and the brutes climbed onto the riverbank.
By the time the entire pontoon bridge was scattered and logs drifted downstream, two armies of barbarians had appeared on the opposite side of the riverbank.
The barbarians stationed on the horse facing the opposite bank, Zhuge Jun did not have the slightest expression on his face.
The soldiers of the Han army who crossed the river were struggling to push the barbarian army backwards, and each time they made their further move, many barbarians or Han soldiers were left on the battlefield.
"General!" Looking at the two barbarian armies that appeared on the opposite side of the riverbank, Zhuge Jun heard a rough voice behind him.
Hearing someone call him, he turned his head and glanced back, and what he saw was Xu Chu with a person under his armpit, rushing towards him on horseback.
When Zhuge Jun approached, Xu Chu threw the person he was holding under his armpit to the ground, hugged his fists and said to him: "The last general is fighting with the barbarians, but I don't want Meng to rush up to this guy and was captured by the last general." ”
When Meng was thrown to the ground by Xu Chu, several Han soldiers had already rushed forward and restrained him.
Before he had time to see his face clearly, Zhuge Jun heard Xu Chu say that he had captured Meng Shu again.
After carefully looking at Meng Shu from head to toe, Zhuge Jun frowned and asked him: "Meng Shu, it has not been a few days since you returned to this place, and you were captured by our army, what else do you have to say?" ”
The guide who followed Zhuge Jun, after he asked this, turned the words over to Meng Shu.
Just a few days after returning to Nanban, as soon as the two sides started the war, he was captured by Xu Chu.
Tilting his head to the side, Meng Huo was full of disbelieving, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was not convinced, Zhuge Jun waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Escort Meng Shu down, wait until our army breaks the barbarians, and then do your thoughts!" ”
Meng was captured by the Han army, and news quickly spread among the barbarians who were fighting with the Han army.
Knowing that Meng was captured, the barbarians, who originally had some morale, suddenly lost their morale, and many barbarians behind even dragged their blades and turned around and ran.
The barbarians who were entangled with the Han army, some of them had sharp legs and feet, and they also retreated one after another while the people in front of them were fighting with the Han army.
Those who reacted more slowly, or who did not have time to escape, were either chopped to the ground by the Han army, or dropped their blades, lay on the ground, and surrendered to the Han army.
Unlike the barbarians who had just entered the southern barbarian realm, the barbarians lying on the ground were not slaughtered by the Han army, and the soldiers of the Han army ran past them as if they had not noticed them at all.
The Han army, which rushed up from behind, twisted the barbarians lying on their stomachs one by one, escorted them to one place, and asked them to squat on the ground without the slightest movement.
The fleeing barbarians looked back and found that the Han army did not kill the barbarians who surrendered, and the barbarians who ran behind also lost their blades one by one, lay on the ground, holding their heads and listening to the footsteps of the Han army running past them.
More and more barbarians crouched on the ground, following the Han army, who was responsible for twisting the captives, and soon felt that they simply did not have enough manpower to twist those barbarians.
Many Han troops stopped the pursuit and joined the ranks of the captives.
The Han army chasing the barbarians was getting smaller and fewer, and in the end, only dozens of Han troops were still chasing behind the barbarians, but the barbarians did not dare to turn back at all, but just blindly rushed forward.
The two barbarian armies on the other side of the river bank gathered in one place, standing on the opposite bank, and Dong Dana and Ah Xuan's eyes stayed in the middle of the Han army.
They clearly saw that the Han army had captured Meng Shu again.
The barbarian king Meng was captured twice, and Dong Dana and Ah Xuan did not dare to drive their troops across the river to fight with the Han army.
The barbarians on the other side of the river had been routed by the Han army, and they watched with their own eyes as the Han army escorted countless barbarians to the river, as if they were going to slaughter those barbarians.
Crossing the river at this time, if the Han army killed Meng Huo in a fit of rage, the two of them would no longer have the possibility of competing for the barbarian king in the future, at most, they would just kill Meng Shu and make a wedding dress for others.
Such a stupid thing, Dong Dana and Ah Xuan will not do it.
The two did not drive their troops across the river, and the Han army, which was busy cleaning up the battlefield on the other side of the river, certainly did not attack them with a tired army.
On the bank of the river, where the decisive battle had just begun, the two armies once again fell into a confrontation.
