After Meng Zhun left, Dongfang Yixue walked in with a pot of tea, made a cup for Ye Yunyang, put it in front of him, and said, "Although Meng Zhun's IQ is not very high, he is not a fool, you fool him like this, okay?"

Ye Yunyang picked up the cup, took a sip and praised: "Good tea, in a place like Nanban, where birds don't, it's really enjoyable to be able to drink tea with such a strong taste! Meng Zhun is indeed not stupid, and his subordinates are not stupid, but my reason is the same as that of being impeccable." ”

Dongfang Yixue said with some worry: "What if he comes again?"

"Still standing still. Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, let's just say that our soldiers have a serious phenomenon of adaptation to water and soil, many people vomit up and down, morale and combat effectiveness are at a low point, and it is inconvenient to start a war with the enemy." ”

At the same time, the eastern defense line battalion, Zhuge Haotang was frowning.

Ever since he received the news that Ye Yunyang, the commander of the Han Army, he began to worry about his future, and sent people to contact the ghost-faced horse three times in a row to request the content of the next action.

The defense line is impregnable, but he only has more than 100,000 defenders in his hands, plus the so-called 20,000 elites sent by the barbarian king, but only 180,000 people, how can he block the 600,000 people of the Han and Barbarian coalition army.

Moreover, Ye Yunyang is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and will never consume troops to attack from the front, with him, Zhuge Haotang has to pay more attention, and has been studying the defense map for several days, striving to find out all the loopholes, so as not to be taken advantage of by the other party.

The most worrying thing is that the ghost-faced colt has not sent any news so far.

When the Ghost Face Army left the south, he was a little bottomless in his heart, he was obviously a Qin person, but he commanded the remnants of the Nanshan bandits, staying in the southern barbarian territory to help the barbarian king defend the land, where should he go in the future?

In the absence of clear instructions, coupled with the pressure of the enemy's troops, the situation became more and more critical as the war was about to break out.

It was also because there was no clear instruction that he didn't dare to rashly send someone to contact Ye Yunyang, he believed that with his relationship with Ye Yunyang, the other party should not be wiped out.

He glanced up at the tent and asked, "Hasn't there been a secret letter yet?"

The soldier replied, "Not yet." ”

......

On the fourth day, Meng Zhun really led his generals to visit Ye Yunyang's Chinese army tent again.

In Meng Zhun's opinion, the Han army had rested for three full days, and he also ordered them to eat, drink and entertain them, kill cattle and sheep at every meal, and try to make them as rich as possible.

After a few symbolic greetings, he made a request.

Ye Yunyang looked embarrassed and said: "King Dongban, our soldiers have a serious phenomenon of not adapting to the soil and water, and many people vomit and diarrhea, which seriously affects morale and combat effectiveness......

Meng Zhun's face turned a miserable green, and in the past three days, he asked his subordinates to closely observe the Han army, whether it was the Iron Eagle Army or the Nanshan Army, when they ate meat, they all looked like they were gobbling up, and occasionally someone had diarrhea, and it was also because they ate too much meat, which led to indigestion, and I didn't hear of anyone who was unaccustomed to the soil.

The physical fitness of the officers and soldiers of the Iron Eagle Army is relatively high, and they have already adapted to the battle in various places, not to mention the Nanshan Army, most of them are natives of Nanshan, Nanshan borders Nanban, and the eating habits are generally the same, and it is even more unlikely that there will be water and soil adaptation.

With such a reason, last time it could be called a polite refusal, but this time it is a fool.

Before coming, Meng Zhun made a package ticket with his generals, saying that Ye Yunyang would definitely not refuse his proposal to send troops.

But now, it's like a resounding slap in the face.

Seeing that the master's old face was flushed, a subordinate general stepped forward and said, "Master Ye, are you sure that there are people in your department who are not adaptable?"

Ye Yunyang swore and said, "Of course." ”

The general maintained due restraint, gritted his teeth and said: "There are hundreds of witch doctors in our army, and all of them can be transferred to your department, what they are best at is to treat water and soil adaptation, what does Lord Ye think?"

"Don't bother your witch doctor, our army also has hundreds of military doctors who are treating the sick. He said: "Thank you for your kindness, our military doctors have a better understanding of the physical fitness of our personnel, and they are more handy in treating diseases." ”

Seeing that he was still shirking, Meng Zhun was furious: "General Ye, if you don't want to send troops, you can make it clear that Xiao Wang will never be difficult to force others, so why bother looking for such a naïve reason." ”

Ye Yunyang was not angry at all, but his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect the Eastern Barbarian King to be so generous, so open-minded, and tell the truth to Ben Shuai, I really don't want to send troops!

Meng Zhun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had fallen into the pit, and he had dug the pit himself.

The generals were filled with righteous indignation, Ye Yunyang ignored their eyes that wanted to eat people, and said to himself: "Zhuge Haotang is an old fox, he has made the defense line impregnable, and we can't fight hard." ”

Meng Zhun took a deep breath, tried his best to calm the anger in his heart, and asked, "According to Coach Ye's meaning, what should we do?"

Ye Yunyang said in a relaxed tone: "Simple, wait for the opportunity." ”

"What is the timing?" Meng Zhun immediately asked.

"The time, the place, and the people!" Ye Yunyang said with a straight face: "In addition, if there are problems within the enemy, such as lack of food and grass, internal strife, etc., we will have a chance." ”

Meng Zhun gritted his teeth and asked again: "What is the probability of this happening?"

"It's very high. Ye Yunyang replied: "They are the remnants of the Nanshan bandits, fighting for the barbarian king, they are to send people under the fence, Meng Huo is suspicious by nature, and he will not trust them 100%, the two sides are very prone to contradictions, we just need to wait for them to change." ”

Meng Zhun slapped the table angrily: "Nonsense, even if there is a contradiction between them, the defense line is still solid, how we should fight and how to fight, even if we can take a little advantage, but because we wasted too much time before, we don't take advantage of it at all." ”

He was afraid that his younger brother Meng Tu would defeat his father in a short period of time, and then occupy the entire royal court area, and he would not be able to reap any benefits.

Ye Yunyang raised his head and looked him in the eyes and said, "A strong attack is bound to cause heavy casualties, the Han army can't afford to bear such a price, and you can't afford it either, can you?"

Meng Huo was really anxious, and said: "Who said that Xiao Wang can't stand it, it is your business that you Han people are afraid of death, don't treat the barbarian warriors as you imagined, we will prove it to you!"

With that, he stood up and turned to leave.

"Hmph, coward!" said one of the generals as he left.

Yin Falcon angrily took the case, and was about to reason with it, but was stopped by Ye Yunyang and said: "Since they want to try, we have no reason to refuse, anyway, it will not cause casualties to the Han army, let him go, and he will be honest when he suffers the loss." ”

Yin Falcon sat down again and said angrily: "These guys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth treat our kindness as donkey liver and lungs. But then again, Yun Yang, do you have a way to break through the enemy's defenses, we can't always spend it here, right?"

He smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I've already arranged it, you just wait to lead the army into the royal court, I guarantee that we won't have any casualties." ”

Outside the big tent, Meng Zhun turned over his horse and gave orders while running towards his own camp: "General Lukesu, you lead 60,000 elite cavalry to set off immediately, the target is the central defense line on the south side of the enemy, our side has found out that the defenders there are relatively weak, this battle must play the majesty of the Eastern Barbarian Army, so that the timid Han army can have a good experience." ”

General Lu Kesu said in a deep voice: "My king can rest assured, the last general will definitely tear a hole in the defense line." ”

Meng Zhun nodded: "Okay, this prince will lead 100,000 people to make a strong name for you!"

On the defense line of the South Mountain Bandits, there is a valley in the middle of the south side, and Zhuge Haotang arranged 12,000 defenders there, which is a relatively weak place for defense, because the area in the valley is limited and not suitable for the deployment of large troops, so Meng Zhun only sent 60,000 people to Lu Kesu.

An hour later, 60,000 elite cavalry left the camp, and after another half an hour, Meng Zhunqin led 100,000 men to follow.

Ye Yunyang got the news and said with a smile: "Look, when it gets dark, they will definitely come back in disgrace and lose their troops." ”

After a two-hour long run, 60,000 men suddenly appeared in the valley, and the defenders on the high ground opposite immediately panicked and shouted.

Lu Kesu saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and concluded that he could kill the defenders by surprise, he suddenly pulled out his long sword, and ordered in a loud voice: "Warriors rush, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

Sixty thousand men poured like a tidal wave in the direction of the enemy.

Looking at the defenders again, where was there still a little panic before, they unhurriedly lifted the canvas camouflage, revealing a three-bow bed crossbow, and hundreds of them were arranged on the defensive line less than three miles away.

On each three-bow bed crossbow, there were ten crossbow spears side by side, the crossbow spears were seven feet long, and the top was a spear head made of dark iron, and the triangular shape had a blood groove, which shone coldly in the sun.

The soldiers pushed the bed crossbow, placing it in the best position to attack.

When Lu Kesu saw the rows of crossbow guns, his heart suddenly cooled for a while, no wonder the number of defenders here was small, it turned out that because of the configuration of three-bow bed crossbows, the spies failed to find such an important thing.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is its speed, but the disadvantage is also that it is too fast, and it is not easy to stop.

The lethality of the bed crossbow is huge, and it is a sharp weapon against large groups of cavalry.

Ruksu's frightened old face turned pale, and he was about to order his subordinates to stop the charge, when the other party had already begun to fire crossbow guns.

With the sound of the bowstring, the crossbow whistled out, the head rubbing against the air and emitting a chilling whine.

The range of the bed crossbow is close to a thousand meters, bringing all the vanguard of the opposing side into the strike range.

The first row of crossbow guns was fired, and the defenders, regardless of accuracy, immediately turned the winch to reset the bowstring and put the second row of crossbow guns into the firing position.

Whoosh...... Burst......

The barbarian cavalry was shot by a crossbow spear, and even the men and horses fell to the ground, and the knight's shield with a diameter of one and a half feet could not be stopped at all, and hundreds of people were killed in the first round of attacks.

The team couldn't stop and continued to rush forward, and more people came into the range of the bed crossbow.

The defenders fired a second row of crossbows as fast as they could, reaping the lives of the non-stop.

In the team responsible for the momentum behind, seeing the defeat of the vanguard attack, Meng Zhun's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself: "How can this be, is Zhuge Hao crazy? There are hundreds of bed crossbows arranged on the short defense line, shouldn't this kind of city-defending weapon be evenly distributed?"

A subordinate general said with a sad face: "My king, General Rukesu will suffer a big loss if this continues, hurry up and send someone to answer it, let the warriors retreat, and die here is too bad." ”
