Gradually, Meng Huo sensed that something was wrong.

The shouts of killing did not seem to be made by the Yonghong tribe who were fighting with him.

At this moment, Meng Shu understood why Gao Ding suddenly gave up his plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

It's the real Han army that is coming!

After realizing this, compared to Gao Ding's panic, Meng Shu suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

From Meng Shu's point of view, he himself is undoubtedly the one who has been wronged, and since he has been wronged, he must have resentment in his heart.

And as his own sons and daughters continued to fall in order to protect him, the resentment in Meng Yu's heart became more and more serious.

In this case, in the face of the sudden killing of the Han army, a plan emerged in Meng Shu's heart.

Didn't Gao Ding and Yonghong both think that he had already thrown himself into the Han army, then he would be as they wished today.

Anyway, if you compare Zhuge Liang's character with Gao Ding and Yonghong, it is simply a cloud and mud difference.

When this thought came to mind, Meng Shu gave an order to his men - no longer hold on.

Under the command of Meng Huo, the remaining Meng Huo troops gave up their intention to form a formation and defend themselves, and they rearranged the formation of the attack, and continued to kill the enemy army in front of them.

Meng Huo's purpose is very simple, that is, to use this method to completely disrupt the formation of Yonghong and Gao Ding's subordinates.

It is undoubtedly wishful thinking to defeat the subordinates of Yonghong and Gaoding in a momentary brave attack, but it is enough to cause panic among the two subordinates to a certain extent.

At this time, outside the battlefield of the three parties, there was a fourth Han army that was rapidly killing towards this place.

If the formation of Gao Ding and Yonghong's troops was still chaotic when the Han army arrived, then their troops would only face a unilateral slaughter by the Han army.

When Meng Huo's troops suddenly launched an attack on their own army, Gao Ding and Yonghong sensed Meng Huo's purpose.

His lifeless style of play, in the end, is likely to cause the lives of both of them to be lost here.

It's just that even if they perceive Meng Huo's purpose, Gao Ding and Yonghong have no solution for a while in the face of Meng Huo's almost scoundrel-like play.

When the armies of the three sides are in the middle of a fierce war, which army can easily get out of the battlefield at this time?

Unless Han Shin is resurrected and uses his almost ghostly conducting art, he can do it.

And Gao Ding and Yonghong are not worthy of Han Xin's shoes, so naturally they can't do this kind of thing.

So Yonghong and Gao Ding could only watch Meng Huo's army, constantly dragging their men into the battlefield.

Although the number of Meng Huo's troops is small, their combat effectiveness is not weak.

Although the first two battles against the Han army ended in failure, it was a tactical crushing between the main generals, and it was not about their combat effectiveness.

They are the predecessors of the Wudang Flying Army in history.

Coupled with the fact that their patriarch Meng Shu was constantly commanding, this made them burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness.

This combat power is enough to fight back and forth with the subordinates of Yonghong and Gaoding in a short period of time.

And as the Han army's shouts of killing continued to approach, Yonghong and Gao Ding were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Both Yonghong and Gao Ding knew that no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of Meng Huo's troops was, the fact that they were at a disadvantage in numbers would not change.

Therefore, the final result of this firefight is most likely to be the victory of the two of them.

But the important thing is that it takes time to brew, and it is precisely the time they lack the most.

If it weren't for the fact that the troops who were fighting were all their descendants, Yonghong and Gao Ding would have left them and fled for their lives.

Gao Ding and Yonghong's hearts were full of regret, and they knew that they would not act so recklessly.

Now not only did they fail to swallow Meng Shu's subordinates, but they also plunged their subordinates into the quagmire of fierce warfare.

But if Gao Ding and Yonghong had such foresight, they would not have made those riotous operations in history.

And as time passed, Gao Ding and Yonghong's worst worries finally happened.

When the battle between the three armies reached its most intense level, the Han army led by Zhao Yun, Ma Zhong, Li Hui and other Han generals finally came outside the barracks.

Because the enemy troops in the barracks were in a civil war, the Han army easily broke through the outer defense line of the barracks and killed the center of the three-sided enemy battle.

After Zhao Yun saw that Meng Huo's troops were being besieged by Gaoding and Yonghong's troops, he decisively commanded the Han army to launch an attack on Gaoding and Yonghong's troops.

Now Zhao Yun didn't know that Meng Huo had his heart set on the Great Han, in his opinion, whether it was Meng Huo, Yonghong and Gao Ding, they were all enemies of the Great Han at this time.

It's just that they are also enemies, and it is obvious that Yonghong and Gao Ding are the strongest ones.

If the Han army, which is a yellow bird, does not defeat the enemy's strongest living force first, then how can it enjoy the fruits of the next victory with peace of mind?

Under Zhao Yun's order, the Han army took a short rest and then rushed towards the enemy army in front.

When the Han army with high fighting spirit entered the battlefield, Yonghong and Gaoding's subordinates, who were attacked behind them, were killed by the Han army in a short time.

Especially when the Yi army saw the white-robed god of war appear on the battlefield, the battle spirit in their hearts was even more severely hit.

Soon after, a major rout occurred.

Thousands of Yonghong and Gaoding's subordinates began to abandon their weapons and flee in all directions in a panic.

Panic can be contagious quickly, especially if the situation is clearly unfavorable for your side.

More and more enemy troops began to scatter and flee, and when the large-scale rout occurred, even Meng Shu's troops fled a lot.

In terms of the discipline of the army, the rebels of the three parties, no one is better than the other.

Zhao Yun saw that his army had already gained an advantage in the battlefield, so he immediately ordered the Han army to pursue behind a Yi army.

That Yi army was Gao Ding's descendants, and they were covering Gao Ding's escape towards the Qiongdu city.

Zhao Yun has not forgotten the task given to him by Zhuge Liang to take the capital of Qiong, so compared to Yonghong's rebel army, Zhao Yun is obviously more interested in Gaoding's rebel army.

The military camp is not far from the city of Qiongdu, and the short distance is not enough for the Yi army to give full play to the advantages of their own good running, so as to throw off the reluctant Han army behind them.

Gao Ding also knew that there was a Han army chasing him behind him, but now he only had the idea of escaping in his heart.

Therefore, when he came to the city of Qiongdu under the escort of a group of descendants, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the city to open the city gate.

Nanzhong is poor and weak, even if Qiongdu City is regarded as the seat of Yuewang County, its city defense is not as good as some big cities in the Central Plains, and the moat, which is an excellent protective measure for the city, Qiongdu City does not have.

Even the gates of the capital city were not wide.

But now this gate is not wide, but it gives Gao Ding some hope of escaping.

Due to the rudimentary nature of the city gates, the Yi troops in the city quickly opened the city gates after receiving Gao Ding's orders.

When the city gate opened, Gao Ding recklessly led his descendants to rush towards the city.

And at the moment when Gao Ding's army rushed into the city gate, the Han army led by Ma Zhong also rushed into the city gate after Gao Ding's Yi army.

As the capital city of Qiong, which did not exist in the urn city, Ma Zhong was not worried that Gao Ding would set up an ambush in the city.

Besides, Gao Ding is already a lost dog, how can he organize the ups and downs in the city in time.

Ma Zhong was not wrong in his calculations, and when he led his army into the city of Qiongdu, Gao Ding immediately led his descendants to continue to flee towards the city.

In order to flee for his life, he didn't care about the safety of the city gate at all.

When Gao Ding fled from the city gate, the Yi army guarding the city gate was already in turmoil, how could it be the opponent of the Han army with high morale?

Soon after, Ma Zhong led the Han army to clean up the Yi army at the city gate and completely control the east gate of the Qiongdu City.

When there is a city gate in hand, a steady stream of Han troops are entering the city through this city gate, constantly cleaning up the Yi army in the city that does not surrender.

Zhuge Liang did not wait too long in the Han army camp, and soon he received good news from the front - the city of Qiongdu had been successfully taken.

After getting this news, Zhuge Liang led some of the remaining Han troops towards the Qiongdu City.

In order to be able to take the capital city without fail, Zhuge Liang sent most of the Han troops and Han generals in the camp, and he only let Deng Ai lead part of the Han army to stay in the camp to protect him.

Zhuge Liang specially chose to leave Deng Ai behind, and he also had the intention of further teaching Deng Ai.

On the way to Qiongdu City, Zhuge Liang turned to Deng Ai behind him and said, "Soon, Nanzhong will be completely pacified." ”

When he said this, Zhuge Liang's tone was very flat, as if he was saying something insignificant.

But after his words fell into Deng Ai's ears, they made waves appear in Deng Ai's heart.

With the recovery of Qiongdu County by the Han army, the rebels in Yuewang County were no longer to be worried.

After the Han army pacifies the whole county of Yuewang, the road to Yongchang County of the Han army will also be opened, and at that time, two of the four counties in Nanzhong will be reincorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, today's battle is bound to inflict heavy losses on Gaoding's army, which invisibly greatly weakens the strength of the rebels in Yizhou County.

Inferring from this favorable situation, Zhuge Liang's words are all predictable facts.

It's just Zhuge Liang's understatement, which made Deng Ai's heart appear with admiration.

The strength of the Nanzhong rebels cannot be compared with the Wei army, but the Nanzhong rebels, who occupy a favorable location, are not so easy to pacify.

Otherwise, when Liu Bei had just taken Yizhou, there were many famous generals under his command, so why not take the opportunity to completely take Nanzhong?

Before the start of the Southern Expedition, many people predicted that it would be a protracted battle, after all, the geography of Nanzhong was there.

But since Zhuge Liang led the army from Chengdu, the battle of the Southern Expedition has only been going on for three months.

If you exclude the time to march on the road, the time that Zhuge Liang really used to deal with the rebels in Nanzhong was only two months at most.

In such a short period of two months, Zhuge Liang was able to lead the Han army to achieve the current advantage, and Deng Ai could not help but admire Zhuge Liang.

In addition to admiring in his heart, Deng Ai also secretly compared Zhuge Liang with Mi Yang.

From the battle report just sent, it can be seen that the way General Zhao Yun took Qiongdu County was somewhat similar to the way Zhang Wei took Xicheng.

But it was these two somewhat similar ways of seizing the city that made Deng Ai see that Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang were quite different in terms of combat style.

Everyone knows that if the enemy army is in turmoil, it is likely to win a great victory.

But the reason why war is unpredictable is that there are many different ways to make the enemy's formation riot.

At this point, Zhuge Liang is good at laying out in advance, he will set traps step by step, lure the enemy to keep trapping, and finally achieve his goal.

Mi Yang, on the other hand, is better at adapting to the situation, adapting to the situation, and giving the enemy a heavy blow in unexpected aspects.

These two ways of using troops are essentially not high or low, but Deng Ai can't help but think of the two world-famous generals in the history of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

One person is good, one person is good, the two generals are combined, and the Hun ghost who can't be beaten cries wolf.

As soon as he remembered that there were also famous generals like Wei Huo in this dynasty, Deng Ai's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of passionate worship.

And who is an aspiring man who doesn't yearn for the turbulent era of Xiaowu?

Because of the thoughts in his heart, Deng Ai forgot to respond to Zhuge Liang's words for a while.

Zhuge Liang saw that Deng Ai's face was thoughtful, but he didn't blame him.

The ten-mile journey did not take long to cross.

When Zhuge Liang led his army to the outside of the Qiongdu City, Zhao Yun had already led a group of Han generals to wait for Zhuge Liang's arrival outside the city.

At the same time, Zhao Yun was carrying a bloody human head in his hand, which was Gao Ding's.

In the chaotic battle in the city just now, Gaoding was caught up by the Han army and beheaded, which also announced the complete recovery of the Qiongdu City.

It's just that Zhao Yun regretted that Yonghong escaped in the chaotic battle.

But this is also a helpless thing, Qiongdu is the base camp of Gaoding, so he will definitely run to the city.

But Yonghong's base camp is in Yizhou County, so once he runs, it will be difficult to catch.

Zhao Yun had already reported these things to Zhuge Liang in the battle report.

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction at Zhao Yun after seeing Gao Ding's head.

Then Zhuge Liang asked about Meng Shu's whereabouts.

Seeing Zhuge Liang mention Meng Huo, Zhao Yun asked people to escort Meng Huo to Zhuge Liang.

In the chaotic battle just now, Meng Shu did not lead his troops to attack the Han army, and Zhao Yun saw that Meng Shu knew each other, so he spared Meng Shu's life after controlling the overall situation.

When Meng Shu was escorted, he changed his arrogant demeanor in the past, he knelt down extremely humbly, and then kneeled all the way to Zhuge Liang's body.

Under the gaze of everyone, Meng Shu said to Zhuge Liang in a respectful tone:

"Prime Minister Tianwei, three capture of lowly generals, so that he is frightened, and he is willing to surrender to the prime minister, and he will never rebel again in the future."

Hearing Meng Shu take the initiative to say the words of submission, Zhuge Liang's face showed a smile.

He was well aware of Meng Huo's prestige in Nanzhong, and now Meng Huo was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, which was a very good thing for the Han Dynasty.

And then, he did have one thing that needed Meng Shu's assistance.
