Ban Lin and Xin Baijiang marched all the way under the banner of vanguard, and did not encounter any resistance on the way, so according to the orders of the Tang Dynasty, they approached Liuzhou and surrounded the mountains and rivers.

An indigenous minions had already heard the news of the Tang Dynasty's march into Liuzhou and reported it to the Chinese army.

Meng Xiao immediately convened all the generals and held a plenary meeting.

After Meng Xiao gathered the generals, his face was full of sneers: "I heard that there is a Tang army to invade the territory, and the Jiedu envoy who led the troops is a yellow-haired boy about twenty years old, and we don't have to stay in the cave all the time, in the past few years, we Liuzhou has mined more gold and silver, and the prosperity is different from the past. ”

Before the words were finished, a general came out, it was Meng Xunye, a strong man from Liuzhou, who was brave and willing to be the pioneer.

The indigenous cave soldiers relied on a strong bravery, under the leadership of Meng Xun, with five hundred knives and axes, and the rest were nested in the cave, guarding against Zhang Jiuling's usual strategy of attacking the east and west, and the cave was full of heavy soldiers.

Ban Lin and Xin Baijiang saw that there were cave soldiers coming out to greet them, so they made an appointment with a military horse, carried a black rod gun, and broke the yellow horse, and both guns came out of the battle, and the two exchanged a look, and Ban Lin went out first.

Meng Xun was dressed in a blood-red cloak, holding a mace in his hand, and he did not abide by the common rules in the battle array, so he passed his name first, and rushed over as soon as he rode hot.

Ban Lin raised his gun to block, felt the pressure was heavy, and ran in the oblique stab, this round was just a temptation, but Meng Xun thought he was timid, turned back to the horse, the mace was raised high, and the pressure like Mount Tai was about to come down, Ban Lin did not fight with him, and the spear was crossed, and it was at the middle end of the mace, adding a dial of power.

Fortunately, this Meng Xun's strength is really not small, his legs are clamped, and he stabilizes his body, at this time, Ban Lin is still polite to him, urging him to step forward, the black rod gun lightning strike twice, the first time Meng Xun barely opened, but the second shot pierced his lower abdomen, and the momentum was stirred, Meng Xun suddenly bled and died in the battle.

There was already an indigenous young general who snatched out the piece, held a machete, snatched Meng Xun's body back into battle, turned around, and was about to avenge Meng Xun, but the cave suddenly sounded gold, and the block cracked all dared to disobey Meng Xiao's military order, and led Meng Xun's horse back to the cottage.

Behind him, five hundred swords and axes were lined up, and shield bearers and archers were well guarded.

Ban Lin won, but seeing that the cave soldiers were fierce, he did not mess up the rules because of this, and was afraid that the lone army would go deeper, so he camped with Xin Baijiang in the red stone, carrying antlers deeply, to prevent the harassment of the indigenous cave soldiers.

The two camped for about two hours, and did not see Dongding come out to avenge Meng Xun, at this time, the army of the Tang Dynasty had arrived, camped in Hongshi, settled down his 5,000 men and horses, and immediately summoned Ban Lin and Xin Baijiang.

The two came to the tent, Ban Lin told that he had killed a general, the Tang Dynasty was very happy, and ordered the clerk to record Ban Lin's head work, and muttered: "This is strange, the Red Stone Cave is the barrier of Liuzhou, Meng Xiao is personally stationed here, why is he afraid of my vanguard, and he broke a general in vain." As soon as the red stone is lost, Liuzhou will be attacked by the enemy, and I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on, what does he mean by this? ”

Sheva said: "No matter what he means, tonight, it is not suitable for a decisive battle, early tomorrow morning, set up a formation, and win it with strength, we will wait for the army to enter suddenly, Meng Xiao has always been proud, and it will be too late to ask for help from the Tiexin Department entrenched in the Pebble Valley, and with his character, he will definitely solve it by himself, unless he will ask for help as a last resort!" ”

Tang Chao felt reasonable: "Yes, the noble god of soldiers, I entered the army the day before yesterday, and today I have arrived at the thief's lair, and I am in response to the battle, otherwise the sun and moon will be delayed, and I am afraid that the reinforcements from the Pebble Valley will arrive, and it will be difficult to do!" ”

At that moment, the army was ordered to surround the outside of the village with large carts and baggage, dig the ground as a trench, form a vacuum outside the antlers, and spread wild grass to prevent the soldiers from robbing the village.

This method of camping is not recorded in the previous war books, but was absorbed by the Tang Dynasty in combination with the tactics of Japan trapping Kuah Island in World War II. During World War II, Japan sent troops to garrison Kuah Island, but after Normandy 6, the Allies had an advantage over the fascists, and then won the Battle of Midway, Japan had lost the initiative at sea, but the Japanese emperor ordered all the troops left in Japan to use ****** commonly used guerrilla warfare to defend the island. These troops recaptured the island, the war was extremely tragic, and there was once a famous "kamikaze squad", which drove a plane full of **** to rush to the warship of the US army, and died with it!

When the Tang Dynasty used to study history, the teacher often put aside the books and brag, the funny thing is that he didn't master much knowledge in the books in the Tang Dynasty, but these bragging words greatly activated his thinking, and he now thinks of such a way to prevent the enemy from robbing the village, which is from the inspiration of the history teacher's bragging-

In the red stone cave, Meng Xiao looked at his brother's corpse, hugged his head and cried, he was very surprised, Tang Jun didn't seem to be as vulnerable as before this time, there was such a master under his command, he blamed himself for his carelessness, thinking of Ban Lin's martial arts, he felt surprised.

Looking at this person's identity, he is just a pioneer, I can't imagine that martial arts are already like this, could it be that this stinky kid in the Tang Dynasty has amazing martial arts, otherwise, how could he have such martial arts under his vanguard. In fact, the fight on the battlefield, especially like riding a horse and galloping, and fighting the battlefield, is not what these natives are good at, what they are good at is actually foot combat, Meng Xun's martial arts are not high, but he relies on some brute strength, and he is the patriarch's brother, so he is in the limelight everywhere, and there is no real martial arts, where can he compete with a martial arts master like Ban Lin?

In fact, in the previous rebellions, the strength of the Tang army was greatly out of the indigenous soldiers, but it was only because the army was ** and had no combat effectiveness, which led to repeated failures.

At the moment, he used the trick of defeating the cow cyclamen before, guarded the cave gate, and then harassed from time to time and sent troops to rob the village.

There are a total of 5,000 soldiers in Mengxiao Cave, and there are 5,000 in Liuzhou City, which is the trend of horns, the distance between the two places is not far, ten miles away, each other is Austrian aid, and it is difficult to go down eagerly, which is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty wants to cultivate soldiers to fight again one night, avoid its edge, and hit its lazy return, which is the supreme reason of the art of war.

That night, Meng Xiao secretly ordered Liuzhou Guard General Manganese Xin to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, preparing to raise fire as a number, and together with the army of Hongshi Cave, the male north attacked, and it was necessary to rob the village, so that the Tang Dynasty was defeated and returned.

The Tang Dynasty didn't know that Meng Xiao had such an arrangement, but he was restless at night, carrying a long sword and patrolling around.

At first sight, very satisfied, only to see that all the armies are abiding by the military order, the soldiers on duty are vigorously dressed and belted, although in the heavy rain will also be straight, the way of camping is completely in accordance with their own regulations, one village after another, united with each other, although at first glance it is a long snake formation, but the loop is tortuous, but it can echo each other.

Although the Tang Dynasty did not learn any military books, but before reading more "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", plus he had led troops to quell the rebellion of Sheva before, he had experience in leading troops to fight, and then infiltrated his own opinions, and felt that even if the ancient good generals, although they did not dare to compete with him in the use of soldiers, they could still fight in the array.

The Tang Dynasty was bored this night, slept in clothes, just slept until midnight, suddenly heard a loud shout, it seemed that someone robbed the village, immediately rushed out of the Chinese military tent, and ordered all the sergeants not to panic, only to shoot the enemy with arrows.

What he has always been most worried about is the robbery of the village, just like a person with a lot of money suddenly encounters robbers and loots you, which is very terrifying, so he ignores the complaints of many soldiers and wants to dig a vacuum trench.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was also the first time to encounter a robbery, and I was very surprised to see that the fire outside the tent was soaring, and there were military horses killing from the east, west, north and south.

But to his great excitement, many of the cavalry of the Fan soldiers fell into the trenches, and were blocked by the vacuum, and fell into the trenches with nails and sharp knives, and screamed.

Because of this vacuum, the Tang army in the tent could have time to dress and armor and arrange defenses.

There are a few soldiers who are very fierce, rushing into the camp tent and slashing and killing, but the Tang Dynasty personally grabbed the sword and led the five hundred guards around him to rescue, and these five hundred people are especially elite soldiers among the three thousand pioneers.

In an instant, the torches in the Tang Dynasty's military tent were bright, and the soldiers who came to rob the village were clearly illuminated, and Meng Xiao suddenly lost the advantage of sneak attack. 、

To put it bluntly, robbing the village is a sneak attack, and you want to hit others by surprise.

Meng Xiao looked at the current situation, knew that the Tang Dynasty had already prepared, and hurriedly Mingjin to collect the troops, the Tang Dynasty did not know the reality of the other party's ambush, so he only asked the soldiers to hold on, and forced the soldiers outside the village with arrows, so as to respond to all changes without change.

Meng Xiao saw that many soldiers fell into the trenches and suffered many casualties, knowing that a long battle was even more disadvantageous, so he withdrew his troops overnight.

Counting the sergeants, more than 800 people were killed and wounded, so they had to be stationed depressed, ordered the cave soldiers to hold out, and ordered Meng Xin to lead the troops back to Liuzhou, stick to the city, and force the Tang Dynasty to surrender with a tired army.

After Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, Meng Xiao and other ethnic minority leaders have learned the method of tiring soldiers without a fight, deep ditches and high bases, forcing the Tang army to be undersupplied, and he obediently retreated for me. The soldiers took advantage of the time and place and constantly harassed the Tang army, which was their wishful thinking, and it worked repeatedly.

The next day, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were listed in the vast land, and they wanted to go out to fight a decisive battle with Meng Xiao, but the funny thing was that the "war-free card" was hung high in front of the cave gate, and the five thousand cave soldiers did not come out of the red stone cave.

But the fatal thing is that the terrain here is precipitous, relying on the mountains and waters, from morning to noon, more than three hours have passed, nearly 100 casualties, and still can't even break through the walled gate.

The defense of the red stone cave is in the shape of a step, the entrance of the village is relatively large, and the inside gradually becomes smaller, sandwiched between two towering peaks, which is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.
