Chapter 160

Just like Cao Wu predicted, Zhang Liao not only did not choose to return to Guiyang, but went deeper into the mountains.

He and Zhang He chased and intercepted all the way, in order to eat Liu Bei's lone army, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to hide all the way, and finally entered the mountains and mountains of Wuling.

Zhang He was defeated, and his army was the only team that could pursue Liu Bei, and once even he was evacuated, he would no longer be able to catch Liu Bei.

He didn't know Cao Wu's plan to advance to Jiaozhou, nor did he understand Liu Bei's strategy of going west to Yizhou, and he didn't even know if there would be reinforcements. He only knew that he had to catch this lone army that was slippery, even if he faced the elusive Wuxi Man.

So he chose a site overnight and found a place where Liu Bei could be aware of whether he was to the west or south.

The camp site is on the edge of the official road, the surrounding trees have been cut down, and the view is high enough to protect against night attacks.

After choosing the address, the next step is to set up camp, and then wait for the reinforcements that may appear after Zhang He's return to the north.

What he counted on was that Zhang He, who was once known as the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei, had fought in the south and north for many years, and was steady with his troops, so he would not lose a lone army in the mountains, and he would definitely bring people from Guiyang.

"General Le, General Li, General Yu, General Xu, as long as one comes, it's like ......"

Zhang Liao inspected the camp under construction and thought to himself.

In the afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the view in the mountains was not good, and there was not much time left for them to build the camp.

Then, at the moment when the red sun descended behind the mountain, countless human voices rang out in the four fields.

It was countless mountain people whistling, in all directions, everywhere.

"Enemy attack!"

In the confusion of the soldiers who built the camp, Zhang Liao shouted.

Wuxi Man must have a military division under his command, knowing that if their camp is successful, they will not be able to attack it, so they choose to attack at this moment when the camp has not been completely repaired.

Sure enough, countless figures appeared in the surrounding mountains, and they were still far away, and they couldn't see their appearances clearly, but they could vaguely see that the clothes were not like the Han people in the Central Plains.

"Don't panic, array, array!"

Zhang Liao called the commanders, and several commanders shuttled between the villages on horseback.

The reason why Sunset hadn't fixed the camp was because they had spent too much time cutting down trees.

Now it seems that this was definitely a wise decision, and these open spaces, which are not shaded by trees, give them the best buffer.

The enemy rushed out of the mountains and forests, and was immediately exposed to them, and although the camp was not repaired, they had to pass through this unobstructed territory to reach Zhang Liao's army.

Eight thousand elite soldiers were moving, the cavalry was in formation, the infantry were in formation, and the archers were pointing diagonally at the clearing.

However, those Wuxi barbarians were whistling, but none of them crossed the clearing, all of them circled around the periphery, and the fierce face that was about to attack just now was gone.

Next to Zhang Liao's horse, he saw a tall man coming out of the crowd on the other side, holding a huge axe, standing in front of the Wuxi barbarians.

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, he remembered another barbarian leader who had died under his own gun more than a year ago.

Known as the leader of the Wuhuan who is comparable to Morton Shan Yu, he is Tak Dun Shan Yu.

Zhang Liao shouted: "A certain is Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen!" Who are you? ”

The barbarian laughed and replied in stumbling Chinese: "The Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke is here, there are 50,000 Wuxi Barbarian warriors here, surrender quickly!" ”

The 50,000 people said that it obviously made Zhang Liao's army commotion, but Zhang Liao said: "You are from Wuling County, how can you take 50,000 people across the heavy mountains?" You can fool others, but you can't fool me! ”

Shamoko slammed his axe on the ground and shouted, "Try it!" ”

This clumsy method of agitation naturally did not move Zhang Liao, who had been through a hundred battles.

Zhang Liao knew that Shamoke would not dare to attack, so he led him out to kill, how could it be as he wanted.

With a wave of his hand, he asked half of the soldiers to rebuild the camp, and the remaining half was spent here to guard against each other.

The sun gradually set, and the camp became stronger and stronger.

Zhang Liao and Shamoke confronted each other, and as the light weakened, they gradually lost sight of each other's faces.

At the moment when the light completely dimmed, the whistle of the mountain suddenly sounded again.

Shamoko pulled out his axe from the ground and pointed it at the sky.

"Sons, charge!"

"Oh! Woowoo"

This time it was no longer a feint, and the barbarian soldiers rushed towards Zhang Liao's camp from all directions.

Only then did Zhang Liao discover that Wuxi Man lived in the mountains all year round, was not afraid of the dark sky at all, and still had a good vision in the dark night.

It turned out that they had just moved just now just to disturb the construction of the camp, but the real purpose was to delay the attack until the night.

"The enemy army must have a military division, otherwise how can a mere barbarian have so many tricks!"

Zhang Liao thought in his heart, and ordered to release arrows, the arrow rain fell like locusts, and the Wuxi barbarians took refuge in the dark, still suffering many casualties.

"Return to the Kingdom of God, return!"

The remaining Wuxi barbarians recited the unexplained barbarian words, ignoring the deaths and injuries of their companions, and continued to charge forward.

Zhang Liao rode his horse, the cavalry behind him had been lined up for a long time, Zhang Liao's hand was raised, as soon as he put it down, the cavalry would charge in the dark, but his hand did not fall.

Although the place where they camped was a rare flat land, in the middle of the mountain, the flat ground was still too short and too few.

The cavalry charged, and it was difficult to turn back and continue to charge.

He would not let his cavalry go to his death.

Then it's just a hard-fought fight.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Zhang Liao and the cavalry formed the first line of defense, facing the barbarians with different weapons, like the mainstay of the flood defense.

Those Wuxi barbarians were all infantry, but the bounce was amazing, and a few of them could jump up and kill the soldiers on their horses, but most of them could only avoid the cavalry.

Next, Zhang Liao's infantry waited for them after half of the camp was built, and they would kill one of them.

However, there are still many Wuxi barbarians who have rushed through the cavalry array, and the combat effectiveness of Wuxi barbarians is very strong, and it seems that each of them has the strength of old soldiers, and the defensive pressure of the camp is also huge.

With a "brush", Zhang Liao cut over a barbarian, and suddenly remembered Zhang He.

At the beginning, Zhang He should have faced such a fierce soldier who was not afraid of death.

So what did Zhang He do to lead to the almost total annihilation of the army?

Zhang He was so steady that he didn't even take the lead in the surprise attack on Xiakou.

He definitely chose to stick to it.

So Zhang Liao thought of a possibility.

Wuxi Man is different from the Central Plains soldiers and horses.

Because the Han people want to cultivate the land, they will not be all soldiers no matter what, and the ratio of soldiers to people reaches 1:20 regime, which is already a poor army.

But the Wuxi barbarians, all the people are soldiers.

What's even more terrifying is that the Wuxi barbarians were born in the mountains, grew up in the midst of fighting lions and tigers, and became adults in fighting each other, which is really brave.

Zhang Liao looked back at the barbarians all over the mountains, and gradually determined in his heart.

Wuxi Man, maybe there are really 50,000.

50,000 elites against 8,000 elites.

In the dark, they can't see, but Wuxi can be, and the camp is not a city, so they can't defend in all directions.

It is no wonder that Zhang He lost, only because he miscalculated the number of enemy troops in the dark, and was finally consumed to defeat.

Since he thought of this, Zhang Liao would not sit still.

He didn't want his cavalry to die in vain, but he could charge into battle himself.

He searched in the darkness for the traces of the enemy chieftain.

Wuxi Man is different from the Central Plains, he does not hang the flag of the Chinese army, and he searched for a long time, but he didn't find it.

Zhang Liao's heart tightened, maybe the military advisor of Wuxi Barbarian had expected that he, Zhang Wenyuan, would definitely attack the enemy chieftain.

After all, the same thing has happened.

This military advisor calculated him step by step. How can he break the game?

Do you want to be like Zhang He, and be consumed all the time?
