When Deng Ai said that he would lead troops to directly participate in the battle, Meng Huo and several other patriarchs were shocked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Not to mention that Deng Ai's troops are so four hundred people, such a small number of troops is really a bit unsightly, on the other hand, Deng Ai is Meng Huo's distinguished guest after all, and although Meng Ai is backward, these southern and central tribes are not even able to understand the number of etiquette, so how can there be a reason to let their own distinguished guests go to war and fight hard?

Well, taking a step back, Meng Huo and them still have a little bit of their own careful thinking and little Jiujiu. They secretly have such a plan, that is, if they lose this battle and have to leave the Nanzhong region where they are now, then they may be able to go to Lu Ren, anyway, hasn't Lu Ren always accepted displaced people from all sides?

And if it really comes to that point, the master-apprentice relationship between Deng Ai and Lu Ren can always come in handy. Now Lu Ren is angry and has lost his temper with Deng Ai, but who dares to say that Lu Ren will really throw Deng Ai away? At least at least, on the premise of ensuring Deng Ai's personal safety, the relationship between Deng Ai and Lu Ren may still have room for redemption.

But in case Deng Ai dies here, wouldn't Meng Shu and them even have no bargaining chips for a relationship with Lu Ren Lala in the future? Even if Deng Ai really couldn't restore relations with Lu Ren anymore, Deng Ai's ability was there, and he still commanded more than a thousand farmers and craftsmen, which was all the hope that Meng Shu and them would recover the strength of the tribe in a new place after they were defeated and fled.

It was precisely because these clan patriarchs had such a discussion in secret, so after everyone was taken aback, Zhu Rong, as a representative, hurriedly said to Deng Ai: "How can that work? Lu Yizhou, didn't he allow you to intervene in the dispute between my southern and central tribes, Brother Deng? ”

Zhu Rong's words are so, in fact, Zhu Rong also feels a little sorry for Deng Ai in his heart. Because no matter what, she deliberately arranged for Shui Ling to get close to Deng Ai, originally intending to make the relationship between the clan and Lu Ren more intimate, but she didn't expect to provoke Lu Ren and be self-defeating. So in Zhu Rong's view, Deng Ai is actually very, very aggrieved now, in a two-sided dilemma, he wants to reconcile with Lu Ren, but he is unwilling to give up Shui Ling.

Maybe Deng Ai kept Lu Ren's order not to intervene in the dispute between the clans in Nanzhong, and the matter with Shui Ling would take a turn for the better in the future, but if Deng Ai really led troops to intervene in this war now, it would be ...... Let's put it this way, the matter between Deng Ai and Shui Ling is just a private matter, and it is very likely that the two sides will find a suitable opportunity and pass like this; But if Deng Ai personally led the troops to help the war, it would be in terms of official affairs, that is, it violated Lu Ren's principle of "not intervening in the dispute between the southern and central tribes", and if Lu Ren didn't do it, he would probably not forgive Deng Ai again.

But seeing Deng Ai, he sighed helplessly and said, "I want to follow the master for many years, can I not know the master's temper?" He's angry right now, and he's going to be me. But when he really heard that something had happened to me, the master wouldn't ignore me. But the problem now is that I don't have time to ask the master for help, so now I am a grasshopper on the same rope as you.

"Also, the grain you are now storing in the warehouse cave in case I lent it to you, and the Abu clan has known about it for a long time, so the Abu clan must regard me as one of your gang, plus something like that happened between me and the master, they will not let me go if they seize this opportunity. In other words, if there had been no trouble between me and the master, Abu was worried that the master might not dare to touch me, but now...... Alas! ”

Everyone sighed lightly, and Shui Ling's face was full of sadness, and his hands tightly held Deng Ai's right hand silently.

Deng Ai sighed again, and said to Meng Yu with a solemn face: "Patriarch Meng, don't hesitate, give the order to transfer troops." The Abu clan may arrive here at any time, and if we delay any longer, we will only have time to prepare. ”

Meng Yu looked at Zhu Rong when he heard this, but Zhu Rong lowered his head and thought hard for a long time before nodding vigorously. At that moment, Meng Shu took out his waist knife and pointed to the sky and said loudly: "If you win, you will prosper, and if you lose, you will die!" I, Meng Shu, am determined to fight to the end! ”

Several patriarchs such as the third section of the Golden Ring also drew their waist knives one after another, and shouted in unison with Meng Shu's knife holder: "Fight to the end!" ”

As soon as the oath was over, everyone was about to withdraw the knife, when they suddenly heard Deng Ai say: "Wait a minute! ”

Everyone was stunned, but they saw that Deng Ai also took out the long sword he carried and put it on everyone's swords, but Deng Ai's words were a little different: "Although I am not from Nanzhong, but I can count it as my share, everyone advances and retreats together, lives and dies together!" ”

This was originally a very exciting scene for men, but there was a small episode that made people laugh and cry, that is, when several blades were put together, the stainless steel long sword in Deng Ai's hand immediately compared several other inferior brute knives, causing everyone else to look at the long sword in Deng Ai's hand with extremely envious eyes......

――――――――――――――――――――

As Deng Ai expected, the 20,000 troops of the Abu clan didn't pay attention to any small roads and deviations, and ran directly to the main road to the north with great momentum. As soon as he arrived, the Abu clan patriarch ordered an all-out assault to begin.

To tell the truth, the combat methods of these Southern Barbarian soldiers may be said to be very brave, but on the whole, there is no rule at all. Facing the relatively strong pass on the main road to the north, the soldiers of the Abu clan were nothing more than a large group of people rushing forward, and they didn't think about whether they could really break through the pass. And then as for the siege equipment such as ladders and rushing cars, the Abu clan did not have any of them at all, and the great thing was that a few temporary chopped rough logs were used as beating logs, and then there were very few bows and arrows used as a cover for the siege soldiers.

On the other hand, on the side of the Meng Huo tribe, although they had received a certain amount of training before, they were not much better. Throwing stones, throwing wood, and shooting arrows are all in a mess, and it can almost be said that they can fight as much as they want.

The profile of the warring parties can only be described in one word, and that is chaos! But this backward and almost barbaric battle showed the violent fighting style of the Nanban tribes. When you hit the crazy place, you can't avoid the knife and the gun, and if you get a shot on your body, you will still try your best to fight back and slash the past, which is simply a way to fight with the same end.

In the blink of an eye, there had been fierce fighting at the first pass for three days, and in these three days, Deng Ai did not go to the front line to fight because he was blocked by Meng Shu and others, so he had been watching coldly from a high place. Every time he saw the thrilling and tragic places in the telescope, Deng Ai couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, and finally understood why Lu Ren was unwilling to use troops against the Southern Barbarians. The battle situation in front of you has explained everything, the Southern Barbarian tribes are fighting so violently, it is impossible to really subdue you if you insist on fighting. If you want to convince them, you can't rely on force alone.

"Overcome rigidity with softness? The master is right! I'm still too far behind......"

Slowly putting down the binoculars, Deng Ai instructed the soldiers around him: "Go and report to the patriarch of Meng Huo immediately, and after this period is over, let the people at the first pass immediately retreat to the second pass!" ”

The pro-soldiers led the army, Deng Ai sat on the ground with his buttocks, and said in his heart: "This way of playing, it is wild, and there are many people...... The problem is that Meng Huo and they really can't afford to fight. There must have been more than 20,000 men and horses in the Abu clan, but only about 3,000 points that Meng Shu could concentrate on the northern road. This is the first pass, Meng Shu has at least three or four hundred spelled out, and there will be problems with such a spelling. ”

After thinking about it, Deng Ai instructed another personal soldier: "You go back to our camp immediately, and order the soldiers and craftsmen in the village to speed up the harvest of grain within three days, and collect as much as you can!" Don't bother with the confiscated grain fields after three days, and let me gather them all here at the third pass!" ”

The soldiers left, but Deng Ai shook his head helplessly. After all the calculations, he still didn't calculate that the fighting methods of the Southern Barbarian Clans would be so violent, and they couldn't control it at all when they fought hard.

According to his original intention, Meng Huo and 3,000 people at the three passes in the north can resist for at least ten days as long as they fight properly, and when the strength of Meng Huo's tribe is exhausted, Deng Ai will bring his 400 elite soldiers into battle. And Deng Ai's purpose in doing this is nothing more than to create a posture that the Meng Huo tribe has exhausted its strength, and he is also pushing the soldiers and horses in his hands as a last resort.

This can certainly create a situation for outsiders that they are also in danger, and it can drag on for some time, but at the same time, it can also preserve a little bit of the strength in their hands as much as possible. But now it seems that there is no need to pretend to be a stake in danger.

"Master, it's all up to you now! I don't know how long I can last according to the current situation, and if your soldiers and horses can't arrive in time, I will really miscalculate this risk. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Another three days of bloody fighting.

After the Meng Huo tribe retreated to the second pass, compared to the previous battle in the first pass, the second pass was still more tragic than it. Maybe it's because the morale of the Abu clan has increased after conquering the first level, or maybe it's because the Abu clan has gained some experience when they conquer the first level, and the Abu clan soldiers have become much more regular when they attack the second level. The first batch of men and horses retreated to rest after the strong attack, and before Meng Shu had time to catch his breath, the second group of Abu's men and horses attacked again. The Abu clan is numerous, and it is more advantageous to use this style of play to give full play to the numerical advantage.

By the night of the third day, after repelling the attack of the Abu clan, more than half of the soldiers at Meng Shu's hand had been killed and wounded, and all of them were exhausted. Although Meng Shu didn't have the slightest fear in his heart at the moment, he also knew that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that it would be all over. Suddenly, Meng Shu licked the undried blood on the knife, and laughed loudly: "Come on! Since I fought, I will fight to the death as much as I can, and I don't want to be a slave of Abu's oppression anymore! Warriors, aren't they!? (To be continued.) )
