772 Divergence
Meng Huo, Mulu King, bring the cave master and others, are standing on the high slope to watch the battle, the rebels according to Meng Huo's arrangement, wave after wave rushed forward, but the Han army's defense is very tight, in addition to the arrows released in the barracks, on the ground outside the camp, also sprinkled with dense iron thistles, the rebels rushed over, did not pay attention at all, the soles of their feet were pierced by the iron thistle one after another, the pain was so painful that they sat on the ground with their feet and screamed, but they were shot by the arrows that came from the front, not seriously injured, is a life, in short, it is never possible to get close to the Han army's camp within thirty steps.
Seeing such a situation, Meng Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and looked a little angry, while the King of Mulu on the side seemed to be watching a joke, sneering from time to time, and said sarcastically: "Look, I said early in the morning that this method of fighting is undoubtedly making people commit suicide." Instead of luring the enemy, he suffered heavy losses! ”
When the cave master heard the meaning of these words, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly hit the Mulu King with his elbow, and glanced at the Mulu King, and at the same time shook his head, signaling him not to say any more.
But the King of Mulu was like a piece of wood, he couldn't understand the meaning of bringing the cave master at all, and he was hit by the cave master for such a reason, but his temper became even greater, and he turned his head and yelled at the cave master: "What do you mean by hitting me?" ”
After bringing the cave master to hear it, he was also annoyed, this Mulu King, ♀ it was also true. He was angry and annoyed, and said to the king of Mulu: "If you don't say a word, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”
King Mulu said: "I'm not dumb in the first place, why do I have to say a few words?" The mouth grows on my face. I would like to say a few words. Just a few words. You can handle it! ”
"You ......" brought the cave master to be angry by the Mulu King, and stretched out his hand to point at the Mulu King, his face was even more angry, but when he thought of the whole situation, he still endured this breath.
The cave master is Meng Huo's brother-in-law, and this Mulu King is a friend of the cave master, and the Mulu King is involved in this matter, and he is also brought by the cave master. If according to the geographical division, King Mulu belongs to Jiaozhou, and Nanzhong is just a neighbor, not a Nanzhong person, Nanzhong is in trouble, he can help, or not, but because of the face of the cave master, he led the crowd to come to the convergence and discuss the plan.
But. When King Mulu arrived at Ailao Mountain, he realized. As the king, he is not taken seriously by anyone at all, only Meng Shu is in their eyes, he is not even the number two person, and people don't like him at all. This made King Mulu's heart have a huge gap, but he is also a king, how can he be treated like this?
But since he came, King Mulu had no intention of leaving again, and was ready to let them see how powerful he was in front of these Nanzhong people, so that he could deter Nanzhong, and he couldn't be underestimated.
Because of this, King Mulu has always wanted to find a chance to perform for a while, and today happens to be an opportunity.
Meng Huo kept frowning, seeing that his army could not break through the enemy's defenses at all, whether it was the front battalion, or the left and right wings, or even the rear battalion, the defensive force was very tough, and the rebel army in Nanzhong under his command could not take advantage of it at all.
In this way, it was difficult for Meng Shu, and he couldn't help but ask himself, could it be caused by his own command mistakes?
Just as Meng Shu was in deep thought, the cave master behind him and the Mulu King actually quarreled, and suddenly pulled him back to reality, turned his face and yelled at the cave master and the Mulu King behind him: "What is the noise?" ”
The owner of the cave was very afraid of Meng Huo, and as soon as Meng Huo spoke, he wilted, drooped his head, and stopped talking. But King Mulu is different, he has always regarded himself as a king, Meng Huo yelled at himself like this, shouted and drank, his heart couldn't bear so much pressure, and directly retorted: "What do we say about us?" ”
"I'm the king, you are my subordinates, do you say it's none of my business?" Meng Shu was irritable in his heart, and when he was hit by the Mulu King like this, he immediately became angry and roared loudly.
"Please pay attention to what you say, you are the king, and I am also the king......" Speaking of this, the king of Mulu pointed his finger and brought the cave master, and continued to say to Meng Shu, "He is your subordinate, I am not!" Be careful what you say and don't get confused! ”
Meng Shu glanced at the cave master and said, "This is the person you recommend, what is good at witchcraft, what kind of force is outstanding, in my opinion, he is a wild man who can play tricks." What kind of king, who is just the master of a small cave, dares to call himself a king in front of me? It's shameless! ”
"Huh!"
A crisp sound sounded piercingly, and King Mulu already had an extra scimitar in his hand, and the bright blade was facing Meng Shu, his eyes looked at Meng Shu fiercely, and he roared: "Who do you say is shameless!" Do you dare to say it again? ”
At this moment, the people around Meng Shu pulled out their blades one after another, and they all aimed at the Mulu King, only the face of the cave master showed embarrassment, and hurriedly said to the Mulu King: "What are you doing here, it's all your own people, your own people, don't be impulsive!" ”
King Mulu is not a fool, he is surrounded by Meng Huo's people, he is the only one who can't beat them at all. As the so-called heroes don't eat the losses in front of them, King Mulu looked around, and saw that he had no chance of winning, so he simply retracted the scimitar from the scabbard, then turned the horse's head, snorted coldly, and yelled at Meng Huo's guards: "Get out of the way for me!" ”
Everyone only listened to Meng Shu's words, and they all looked at Meng Shu, and Meng Shu saw that the cave master had been making eyes at him, so he waved his hand at everyone, but he didn't say anything.
Meng Huo's guards withdrew their weapons one after another, and all of them scattered on both sides, vacating a middle road for King Mulu to leave.
King Mulu snorted coldly, leaving a stomach full of dissatisfaction and remorse, and rode directly down the high slope and drove into the distance.
"Great King, Mulu Great King, he ......" The cave master who brought it also felt a little unbearable on his face, and hurriedly said to Meng Shu.
Meng Shu raised his hand to stop what the cave master was about to say, and said slowly: "The person was invited by you, and his affairs are still handed over to you to deal with, I don't want to have a second time, otherwise, no matter who that person is, he must be beheaded!" ”
"Thank you, King!" The owner of the cave said very gratefully.
Meng Shu didn't say anything more, but moved his eyes to the battlefield, but the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic, four or five waves of rebels had attacked in a row, but they were suppressed by the powerful arrow array of the Han army, and everyone did not dare to approach, and the people who charged in front of them all fell in a pool of blood, and some people had already retreated.
Seeing this, Meng Shu couldn't sit still anymore, whether he wanted to admit it or not, what King Mulu said was very reasonable, and their charging method was simply suicide.
"It seems that from the very beginning, I made a mistake, we underestimated the capabilities of the Han army too much." Meng Shu finally couldn't help but laugh and said to himself.
After speaking, Meng Shu turned to the cave master and said: "Pass the order, change the combat method, order the whole army to assault, and give the Han army a fierce attack!" ”
"Whoa!"
The master of the cave received the order, turned around and went down the hill to give the order.
At this time, only Meng Huo and fifty guards were left on the hillside, and a mysterious cavalry force was approaching here step by step from behind, and they didn't know it.
At this moment, half an hour has passed since the two armies started the war, and in half an hour, the Han army and the rebels have launched a fierce battle, but because the Han army has a tight defense and the arrow array is very powerful, the rebels cannot rush to within 30 steps of the Han army camp, so that the two armies have fallen into a confrontation stage, and there is no short encounter, and some are just a competition on the bow and arrow.
In the Han army's barracks, the soldiers used infantry bows with a range of about 80 paces, supplemented by strong crossbows with a range of 50 paces, forming a network of arrows intertwined with secrets, which strictly defended the camp of the Han army, so that the rebels could not break through the death line of 30 paces.
In the camp of the rebels, although there are many archers, because the attack plan formulated is not good, and the archers are too scattered, they have been in a passive situation, and they cannot compete with the Han army in the barracks, so they have been suppressed by the Han army.
In half an hour, the Han army smashed the rebels' three strong attacks in a row, causing the rebels to suffer heavy losses, demoralization, and a slight lack of stamina.
After Meng Shu's modification of the battle plan, the army led by the owner of the cave himself, after a short rest, began to rush towards the Han army camp in the most dense way.
This time, Meng Shu invested 60,000 people at once, in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and north, and 15,000 people were invested in each direction, and they were all some tribal archers who were good at archery, hoping to take this opportunity to suppress the Han army's arrow array, and then those rebel soldiers who had been preparing for a long time could swarm up, even if they did not flatten the Han army camp, they would have to deal a great blow to it.
"Knock knock ......"
The war drums of the rebels have been beating, Meng Shu stood on the high slope, looking at the entire battlefield, and suddenly saw a large number of people rushing out of the black from all directions, rushing towards the Han army camp, like a fierce wave, slapping towards the Han army's camp, his psychological side was excited, and he hoped that this time could succeed.
But just when the rebels launched the second large-scale attack, the 800 guards led by Zhang Liao suddenly came out from behind Meng Huo, and Zhang Liao took the lead, holding a spear, charging at the front, directly rushing to the hundreds of Meng Huo's personal guards guarding the hillside.
Zhang Liao and the others came too suddenly, and they were also very fast, with a "boom" sound, and before Meng Huo's personal guards at the bottom of the high slope could react, they were like a sharp knife directly inserted into the heart, immediately splitting these people into two.
Zhang Liao was even more brave and abnormal, holding an iron gun, stabbing to death several rebel soldiers in front of him, looking up and seeing Meng Shu standing on the high slope, a pair of tiger eyes came out of the cold light, "driving" a loud shout, and rushed towards Meng Shu on the high slope.
