Chapter 22 Burning the Plains
"Prime Minister, Meng Huo is here again!"
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, signaled the herald to retreat, and then looked at the generals in the tent, and asked, "Do the generals have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
But seeing that Zhao Yun, who had already had gray hair at this time, he came out and said: "Prime Minister, the old man is willing to be the pioneer and capture Meng Shu!" ”
"Old general, what's the use of capturing it, it's not for the prime minister to be released, in my opinion, it's better to go back to Chengdu as soon as possible and recruit a barbarian." The person who spoke was Wei Yan, who was obviously still resentful of Zhuge Liang's release of Meng Shu last time, so he made a noise here.
Zhuge Liang said: "Wen Chang! What we want for the southern expedition is to convince the barbarians, so that the rear can be stabilized, so that our army will have no worries about the northern expedition, and we must not spoil the plans of the family and the country because of personal grievances! ”
Wei Yan stopped at this time, Zhuge Liang saw that Wei Yan was speechless, and said: "General Zilong, the bravery is not seen back then, yesterday I have found out the news, that Meng was found to find the king of Mulu to borrow more than 10,000 fierce beast soldiers, today in front of the battle to watch, his troops are all poisonous insects and beasts, the general must be careful." "The order is about to be handed over.
Obviously, Zhuge Liang knew what Zhao Yun was thinking, his apprentices had all caught Meng Shu with his own hands, how could he fall into a disadvantage, but it made people feel that they were inferior to their apprentices, so even if Zhao Yun's beard was already gray, he still had to ask for battle.
In front of the two armies, Zhao Yun carried a spear, and the armor behind him was particularly dazzling under the sun, perhaps this is the origin of the Mingguang armor, and then looked at the enemy formation, the Chinese army was the most prominent, ten elephants stood straight in it like giants, in front of them were countless tigers, leopards and jackals, and one of them rode a tiger, holding a heavy axe three feet long in one hand, and holding a white wooden copper bell in the other hand.
Obviously, it can't be fought, Li Xian can see it clearly in the tent, this one should not be fought anyway, if you attack rashly, not only the three thousand Mingguang armor can't be kept, but these three thousand sergeants will also be sent here.
"Are you Li Xian?" King Mulu asked as he rode out of the tiger.
Zhao Yun sneered: "That's my apprentice, do you want to fight in front of the battle?" ”
King Mulu shook his head: "If you have to fight in front of the battle, I want to take the head of Master Li Xianxiang and present it to my lord!" ”
"Don't fight what do you say, look at the gun!" Zhao Yun was about to stab with a spear, but he heard a tiger roar under the crotch of the King of Mulu, Rao is Zhao Yun's war horse is also a good horse, and he hesitated to step forward when he heard the roar of the tiger, and the King of Mulu retreated into the formation at the right time and began to command the herd.
In the final analysis, except that Zhao Yun was not afraid when he saw these scenes, the three thousand sergeants behind him looked a little stunned, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's usual strict military orders, I was afraid that at this time, the movements would not be unified.
But when I heard it in the camp, a shout: "Master is worry-free, the apprentice has a way to break the enemy!" Please also ask the master to set up a shield array! ”
Zhao Yun looked back when he heard this, but saw Li Xian draw out his two thousand divine arm archers from his account, but unexpectedly found that these divine arm archers had changed to quivers.
"Formation!" Zhao Yun shouted violently, and immediately ordered: "The shield soldiers are ahead!" Protect the archers! ”
Li Xian immediately drew out the archers in the tent, stood behind the shield soldiers, and asked Gong Jie to put up the Li Zi banner, and at the same time ordered: "Pull! "All the archers were ordered to shoot their arrows, but they did not fire.
"Put!"
Under this order, in an instant, the rain of arrows rushed away, shooting straight into the herd of beasts, the king of Mulu watched the rain of arrows coming, and he was not ambiguous, and immediately shook the copper bell, and those beasts seemed to smell food, and they were about to pounce up.
The two armies were about to clash, but they saw that the originally fierce and abnormal tiger and leopard beasts began to fall to the ground and twitch in pieces when they were still a few steps away from the shield soldiers.
"It's a poisoned arrow!" King Mulu knew that it was not good, but he could not retreat at this time, under such poisonous arrows, behind him was King Meng's elephant army, if he retreated, these beasts did not know if they would pinch themselves, once the beasts fell into chaos, it would be out of control.
Li Xian saw clearly in the array, took out the longbow at his waist, took out an arrow from the soldier's quiver casually, pulled the bowstring, and shot at the King of Mulu who was thinking, but he heard a whoosh, the King of Mulu had not yet reacted, his left arm had been hit by an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, there was a muffled sound in his chest, and when he looked again, the arrow that had been emerald green penetrated the armor on his chest, and half of the arrow that was more than an inch long had not entered his chest. It was already dark in front of him, his face began to twitch, and every inch of muscle in his body began to twitch uncontrollably, and then the corners of his mouth began to spit out bursts of white foam, and he slowly fell under his mount......
"Brother, the former army has been defeated." Meng Yue saw clearly above the elephant, "Why don't you escape?" Back in the Silver Pit, we can still ask Ugo for help, and the vulture has some friendship with his brother and should help us. ”
"Run? You can run there! The vulture bone has already rebelled, I still have so many elephants here, even if the overlord of Chu is here today, I am not afraid of him, the whole army obeys the order, and all the elephant soldiers charge together! Go straight to Zhuge Liang's Chinese army tent! Lao Tzu is going to capture Zhuge Liang alive today, let you see how powerful this king is! Meng Shu shouted angrily again, and was about to raise his arm to greet him, but he was pulled by the wound that had not healed last time, and he was in some pain, so he forcibly suppressed the pain and beckoned the two axes in his hands to rush forward and kill together.
Such a rare riverside wilderness has also become the biggest advantage of elephant soldiers, and the mountains are shaking for a while, so many behemoths, it is really a bit of Mount Tai pressing the top.
"Stop!" Li Xian raised his spear, stopped the next round of soldiers who were about to shoot arrows, and ordered: "Disperse!" ”
For a while, the shield soldiers and the archers immediately separated from each other, leaving a huge gap in the array, and then Li Xian ordered again: "Fall!" Originally, the soldiers of Zhao Yun's headquarters got out of the way, and let the divine arm archers behind them pour the fire oil originally prepared in their bags on the ground, forming straight lines, knowing that no less than a dozen fire oil lines had been formed in the gap in the military formation.
"Burn!" Li Xian shouted again, and then the sergeant began to ignite the line of fire, and in an instant, the gap between the two armies formed a huge wall of fire, and it was summer, the grass and trees were flammable, so it spread in an instant, and the smoke was billowing up in an instant, obviously afraid of fire is the nature of the beast, and in an instant, those elephants who were charging, when they saw the fire, they stopped themselves, no matter how Meng Shu and others urged the elephants under their crotches, they just cowered, and some even began to fall down in anger.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually burning towards his own army, these elephants, no matter whose soldiers they were, actually began to run against the army formation, and for a time trampled their own army to pieces.
"King, run away, we won't have time to run when the fire burns!" Meng You hurriedly grabbed the reins that Meng Yu had just stopped.
Meng Shu looked at the dozens of elephants swept in front of him and the fire behind him, for a while, the original monstrous anger turned into nothing at this moment, there was only deep fear in his eyes, if this last elephant soldier was not used, then he Meng Shu really had no way to retreat, for a while, he actually thought of the Vulture Dragon Cave Cave Master who was frightened on this battlefield a few days ago, was his actions for the good of the barbarians or to send these barbarians who followed him wholeheartedly to the slaughterhouse? Thousands of thoughts came up in an instant, and he stood in place in a daze.
"Tell the prime minister that Meng is willing to surrender!" Meng Shou shouted loudly above his majestic elephant, and in an instant it resounded through the mountains......
