Chapter 500: Overwhelming

If it was Li You, who did not help the Great Song Dynasty to regain the country, I am afraid that he would take more simple and crude measures in the face of such a problem, but after experiencing the tempering of the Great Song Dynasty, Li You dealt with such things more mellowly, Shi Hongzhi was a child of the Shi family at first glance, and it seemed that there were many contradictions with the imperial court, but after careful analysis, he and the rulers of the Shi family also had huge rifts, so why couldn't he use these rifts to draw him to his side?

This can not only weaken the enemy's strength but also strengthen himself, and bury a nail beside Jiang Suiyun, although Jiang Suiyun has already expressed his submission to the imperial court, but after all, he surrendered to King Fu and not himself, if he encounters something in the future, it is difficult to say which side he will stand on, now with Shi Hongzhi staring at him, Li You can also rest assured, so that a simple move has the effect of killing three birds with one stone, but it is much more effective than simple killing.

Since Shi Hongzhi has returned to his heart, he did not shy away from saying everything about the internal affairs of the Shi family, who were in collusion with the Nanban, and what kind of methods would they take to prevent Li You's army from defeating the Nanban, how to divide the internal forces of the Nanban, how to defeat them at the lowest cost, and those wealthy families who colluded with them, if it weren't for the people in the bureau, they would not have wanted to understand so thoroughly.

With the help of Jiang Suiyun and Shi Hongzhi, the traps constantly arranged by the Lingnan family were also seen through by Li You, and the army still maintained a marching speed that surprised them, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with the Nanban army who wanted to withdraw from the Great Wei.

"Lord Qiyu Taiwei, in front of him is the army of the Southern Barbarian King Wuli Gu, the tribe of Wu Li Gu is the largest pineapple in the Southern Barbarians, he relied on his strong military power to temporarily subdue the rest of the tribes, if he can kill them, then the Nanban will fall into cannibalism again, and there will be no time to go north." Shi Hongzhi knew a lot about the internal situation of Nanban.

This is similar to the situation in Mobei, Li You nodded slightly, if the army of Tang Kuo was defeated in the battle of Haoshuichuan, those Arub whose strength was greatly weakened would not be able to continue to dominate Mobei, and those large and small tribes would be in a mess again, and there would be so much trouble later.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li You ordered, "All armies stop advancing, camp and rest, and start attacking the Southern Barbarian army early tomorrow morning, General Qin will act as the vanguard, and General Zhou will press the rear together with his own officer." ”

"The last general obeys!" Qin Shixin and Zhou Bofu responded in unison, Qin Shixin's face was full of joy, but Zhou Bofu was depressed and abnormal, and it was not easy to catch up with the Southern Barbarian army after traveling thousands of miles, but now he can only watch others play, and he is really panicking.

"General Zhou, don't worry, this contrast should be one of the Southern Barbarians, and you will inevitably have the opportunity to fight in the future." Li Youwen comforted, and Zhou Bofu was happy again.

That Uri bone wanted to take advantage of the night sneak attack, but unexpectedly found out by the sentinel of Li You's army halfway, after getting the news, Li You took the opportunity to set up an ambush, and the three thousand night raids of the Southern Barbarian Army finally only left less than three hundred to flee back, before the war began, the Southern Barbarian Army lost first, and their morale plummeted.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Shixin commanded his Hedong Army to start the charge, he waved his double mace and rushed to the front, heading straight to where the Wuli Bone Banner was, how could those Southern Barbarian Army, who were not even equipped with weapons, be such an elite opponent? Qin Shixin broke through several defense lines of the Southern Barbarian Army one after another, and there were no less than ten Nanban generals who were knocked down by him with his own hands.

Seeing that his side was about to be defeated, Urigu hurriedly sent his most powerful army, an elephant army composed of hundreds of elephants; The elephants were painted with bright paints with all sorts of daunting patterns, and many archers sat on the elephants' backs and shot arrows soaked in poison, and it was with this trump card that he defeated Jiang Suiyun in the previous battle, and now he took them out in the hope of turning the tide of the battle like last time.

The elephant's huge body and bright pattern did startle Qin Shixin's Hedong army, but Li You had already gotten the news from Shi Hongzhi and was prepared accordingly; After experiencing the initial panic, Qin Shixin quickly rerestrained the army, only to see the soldiers put away their weapons one after another, reached out and took out a bamboo pipe from their arms, put it on the fire fold and lit it far away and threw it towards the front of the elephant.

Soon after the bamboo pipe landed, a ball of fire burst out, and a huge roar broke out, which immediately changed the situation on the battlefield; This is the secret weapon that Li You prepared to deal with the elephant army, although the gunpowder produced by Gu Jiangzi is not as good as that used by the Qi family's army, and there is no way to cause huge damage to the enemy, but it is still no problem to make a huge roar and frighten people.

It is necessary to know that although elephants seem to have huge bodies, they are extremely timid animals, and almost all animals are afraid of fire, under the dual effect of fire and roar, those elephants immediately became crazy, and were frightened to scatter and flee, most of them turned around and ran back, and rushed directly into the main formation of Uri Bone, trampling countless Nanban soldiers to death.

These elephants not only failed to help Uri bone reverse the situation, but also caused him to suffer huge losses, nearly a hundred crazy elephants are not so easy to deal with, they not only trampled on countless Nanban soldiers, but also directly smashed through Uri Bone's camp, so that they could not even retreat back to the camp and defend the wall.

Qin Shixin was willing to let go of such an opportunity, and he immediately commanded the army to rush behind the elephants, reaping the lives of the Southern Barbarian Army all the way.

"General Zhou, the defeat of the enemy army is decided, you can also go up to help!" Looking at Zhou Bofu, who had been eager to try for a long time, Li You finally relented.

Zhou Bofu was overjoyed, and immediately brandished a big sword and commanded the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to rush towards the Nanban camp and fought with them.

The real 30,000 Nanban army, hundreds of elephants, even Li You did not stop for a day, they were annihilated by most of them, more than 10,000 Nanban soldiers were killed on the spot, more than 10,000 were captured, and finally less than 3,000 people fled with Wu Ligu, and the losses of Li You's army were almost negligible.

During the escape, Wu Li Gu regretted that he had listened to the words of the historian that day, and dared to provoke the prestige of the Central Plains, this battle ruined his years of accumulation, and the survival of his tribe in the future may be a problem. (To be continued.) )
