"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!? ”

"Yes!!"

After the response, Meng Shu ordered loudly: "Pack up your weapons and prepare your knives and guns!" Fight again tomorrow! ”

The warriors were busy, and Meng Shu himself stood on the wall with his hands on his hips and watched the camp of the Abu clan. Suddenly www.biquge.info one of Deng Ai's personal soldiers came out of Meng Huo's side and reported: "Patriarch Meng Huo, my family Deng Zhonglang asks you to lead the remaining warriors to return to the village, and the last third pass will be handed over to Deng Zhonglang to defend." ”

Meng Shu suddenly grabbed the collar of his own soldier, and his face was indescribably hideous and terrifying: "What did you say? has hit this point, Brother Deng asked me to retreat to the cottage? ”

Deng Ai's voice came: "Patriarch Meng Huo, if you continue to fight like this, all the young and strong men in the clan will be finished." Prepare for the worst in everything, and for the sake of your clan's bloodline, please go back and prepare early. Please rest assured, as long as there is still a soldier under my Deng Ai's account in this third pass, no one of the Abu clan will be allowed to cross the pass. In addition, Deng Ai also has the heart to show off here, so that Patriarch Meng can see how my Han soldiers fight! The courage of our Han soldiers is not under your Southern Barbarian tribes! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The sky has brightened again.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the Abu clan were about to attack the second pass after the preparation was completed, when they suddenly found that the second pass was empty, leaving only an empty pass. After occupying the second pass, when the patriarch of the Abu clan personally led a large group of clan soldiers to the third and last pass of the Menghu clan, suddenly the hearts of the patriarch of the Abu clan and the soldiers of the clan surged with an extremely heavy sense of depression.

Previously, when they attacked the first two passes, they had just arrived at the pass, and before the two sides had yet to fight, shouts of killing would erupt. But now at this last pass, the soldiers of the Abu clan could not hear the slightest shouting of killing, as if this third pass was an unguarded pass.

The reason why it is said "seemingly" is because they saw rows of soldiers standing in strict formation on the pass. Yes, it was the soldiers and not the warriors of the Nanban tribe, and the swords and guns and neat armor had clearly told the Abu clan that they were now facing Deng Ai and his elite soldiers.

The patriarch of the Abu clan hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The other side is closed, but the Han official Deng Ai Deng Shizai?" ”

No one answered the door, and it was still a little quiet. However, after the greeting of the patriarch of the Abu clan, a banner embroidered with the word "Deng" was erected, which could be regarded as a response to Ah Bu's question.

Seeing this flag, the patriarch of the Abu clan frowned, and shouted loudly again: "Deng Shizai, you were ordered by Lu Yizhou to come to my Nanzhong, just to open up a business route here, and you should not get involved in the disputes between the various clans in my Nanzhong!" You like that water spirit, after my Abu clan swept away Meng Shu, he swept it over and transferred it to you, so you don't have to get involved in this dispute, there is still room for maneuvering between you and Lu Yizhou! ”

Deng Ai's voice finally came out: "The tribe is destroyed, and the human heart is also dead, and what I Deng Ai wants is not a lifeless walking corpse." Besides, there are many farmers and craftsmen of my Han Dynasty who have worked hard for months here, how can they allow your Abu clan to loot wantonly? I, Deng Ai, have disobeyed my master's orders, and have been abandoned by my master here, and now I will live and die with the tribe here, advance and retreat together! ”

After hearing this, the patriarch of the Abu clan was really angry, he didn't dare to move Deng Ai because he thought of Lu Ren behind Deng Ai, but now Deng Ai is simply an outcast who has no support, isn't it okay to save some face for him? Under the indignation, the patriarch of the Abu clan shouted: "In this case, don't blame me for being merciless!" Warriors of the Abu clan, attack! ”

Offensive? The feeling of depression brought by the strange tranquility of the previous closure to the soldiers of the Abu clan has not yet subsided, and now that the patriarch of the Abu clan has ordered an attack, the soldiers are a little hesitant. Seeing this, the patriarch of the Abu clan was furious, and scolded: "What are you afraid of? That's what the Han people are going to do! Don't forget, Deng Ai only has a few hundred people under his command, and our warriors are dozens of times more than him! Offensive!! ”

Someone always has to take the lead in this kind of attack, and there is never a shortage of such people. Under the leadership of several small leaders of the Abu clan who were eager to make meritorious contributions, the soldiers of the Abu clan rushed forward one after another and began to attack the third pass guarded by Deng Ai.

Deng Ai coldly glanced at the soldiers of the Abu clan who were surging up like a tide, waved his hand vigorously and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Shoot the arrow!!"

The soldiers standing on the wall suddenly all half-crouched down and hid behind the wall, and in an instant there seemed to be no one on the wall. The soldiers of the Abu clan who rushed to the front took a moment of effort, and the soldiers on the wall stood up again, but this time each soldier had an extra crossbow in his hand, and a large number of crossbow arrows shot at the Abu clan soldiers, and hundreds of people fell to the ground in an instant.

The terrain of the third pass is relatively narrow, there are cliffs about 20 meters high on both sides, and the main road in the middle is only about 15 meters wide, which can only accommodate 30 people to charge side by side, and the terrain is low to high. As soon as the people in the first few rows fell, they rolled downward, and they also hindered a certain amount of the Abu clan's soldiers' momentum.

Deng Ai's grasp of the tactical terrain is not a joke, and the place he chooses to build the pass will definitely make the most of the geographical advantage. In fact, when Deng Ai suggested that Meng Shu build these three passes, he had already prepared for the third pass to be his own battlefield, so in a sense, the third pass was basically built in accordance with the combat habits of the Yizhou soldiers.

At this moment, although Deng Ai only has 400 elite soldiers in his hands, you have to think about what these 400 elite soldiers are using in their hands! Are you joking about the steel string arrowbox-type crossbow used by the regular army in Yizhou? More than 400 crossbows and bows, in the case of non-stop firing and occupying a favorable position, the effect of strong firepower suppression is very obvious.

In addition, in addition to the 400 elite soldiers who were fighting, there were also more than 100 craftsmen behind the soldiers, who were skillfully filling the soldiers' arrow magazines with arrows. As for the number of arrows...... Lu Ren has sent two grain teams before and after, could it be that these two grain teams will only send grain over?

However, he saw that the soldiers of the Abu clan fell in batches under the dense and violent rain of arrows on Deng Ai's side, and it was not until the rear team put up a relatively strong shield that they gradually approached some passes. Seeing this, Deng Ai still sneered, and ordered to the soldiers around him: "Ring the arrow!" ”

The shrill whistle streaked across the sky, and the patriarch of the Abu clan, who was hiding behind and watching the battle from a distance, had just secretly screamed badly, and a large number of rocks were rolling down from the cliffs on both sides of the main road. And along with the rocks, of course, there is also the rain of arrows that are still scattered on the walls.

Rolling stones and rain of arrows, when these two tactics were mixed and used, Sun Jian, who was as brave as the Jiangdong Tiger, died in the same way, and how could these Southern Barbarian soldiers resist it? For a time, it was difficult to count the number of people who were stoned and arrowed, and there were many casualties. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, the patriarch of the Abu clan hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, and the soldiers of the Abu clan reluctantly retreated to the second level. This first burst seems to be Deng Ai's beautiful victory.

However, it was said that Deng Ai quietly watched the soldiers of the Abu clan retreat in embarrassment from the pass, and Meng Shu, who was watching the battle, slapped his thigh and laughed: "Beautiful! What a beautiful fight! Hey, I said Brother Deng, why are you building three passes? I think this one is enough! Random arrows and stones are smashed, and no matter how many soldiers they have, they can't break it! ”

Deng Ai frowned, shook his head silently and said, "Patriarch Meng Huo, things are far from being as simple as you think. ”

Meng was stunned. After a long time, Meng Shoucai said: "Then these two battles ......"

Deng Ai said: "Take the lead and strengthen morale." Only when the enemy disappears and we rise can we find another chance to win. Patriarch Meng Huo, you don't have to worry about my affairs here, hurry back to the village and make some preparations as soon as possible...... In case I can't resist here, you will immediately lead the remaining tribes to flee from here by the main road to the south, and then take the waterway to Guangzhou to join my master. ”

Meng Shu was shocked: "Brother Deng, you ......"

Deng Ai sighed: "Although I disobeyed the master's orders, I must have followed the master for many years. There will still be some friendship between master and apprentice. If I don't stop the Abu clan, I'll die here. After the master heard the news, even if he would scold me for being a master, he would definitely send troops to avenge me and get rid of the Abu clan, and the patriarch of Meng Huo could also use this to re-establish the clan. ”

"No way!"

Deng Ai said resolutely: "Patriarch Meng doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind!" Go back to the village and get ready, and take the rest of your people with you. The soldiers of your clan don't know the tactics of our Han army, and staying here will cause chaos. ”

"You! Alas!! ”

In Meng Shu's opinion, these words were a touch, but in fact...... Deng Ai is playing the emotional card. But then again, although Meng Shu really wanted to stay and fight together, thinking about what Deng Ai said, he was completely thinking about his clan, and he also had to think about his clan. After thinking for a long time, Meng Shu bowed his hand to Deng Ai and said, "Little Brother Deng, Meng Huo has gone!" Your great kindness will never be forgotten by our tribe! Take care! ”

After a few more pauses, Meng Shu left with chagrin.

Deng Ai looked at Meng Huo's back and smiled silently. Just after looking back at the pass, Deng Ai's brows furrowed tightly. In fact, what he said to Meng Huo was not all a lie, as he said before, Deng Ai did not know much about the combat methods of the Southern Barbarian tribes, so he lost the calculation of the time that the first two levels of the Meng Shu tribe could drag on.

Originally, according to Deng Ai's plan, the two passes were delayed for five days each, adding up to ten days, and then he delayed it for another three days and five days at the third pass, so that the total was more than ten days. The second batch of Huang Zhong's grain team arrived here in about twenty days, and the soldiers and horses prepared by Lu Ren should be about a month if they want to arrive.

If there are these ten or so days, and counting the time from Meng Shu's killing of Abubei to the mobilization and marching of the Abu clan's tribe, it will be exactly one month, and Lu Ren's soldiers and horses can be completely arrivable. But now, because the Meng Huo family fought too hard, Deng Ai's time was missing for several days. And these few days are likely to be fatal days...... (To be continued.) )
