The Snake Valley can be regarded as a branch of the Ailao Mountain Range, due to the long-term snow on the top of the Ailao Mountain, even in the south of the spring all year round, at this moment, the vicinity of the Snake Valley is also a little cold.

At the bottom of the valley of the Coiled Snake, a clear mountain spring flows silently in the middle of the valley, and the waist-high shrubs and jungles at your feet are like those boundless waves rolling on the sea, ready to swallow everything without leaving a trace.

Occasionally, an eagle glided in the sky, and its cry reached the clouds, and the echo vibrated around the mountains for a long time, even causing the entire Snake Valley to tremble slightly.

There was no sunlight today, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, which obscured the whole sun, and the whole earth was immersed in a gray state, lifeless.

On both sides of the cliffs of the Snake Valley, tens of thousands of rebel soldiers are hidden, and at this moment, they are all armed and waiting for them. Because yesterday King Mulu sent someone to send a message, today he introduced the Han army into the Snake Valley, Meng Shu issued a death order, and today he must completely annihilate the Han army.

After a few days of waiting, the rebels were almost about to collapse, and as soon as the news came, everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with blood, and they were all gearing up to launch the most fierce attack on the Han army.

In addition, Meng Huo's side also made arrangements early in the morning, he mobilized the vine armor army of the vulture bone to the entrance of the Snake □ Valley to ambush, once the Han army entered the Snake Valley, he would seal the entrance and block the Han army in the Snake Valley, only like this. In order to achieve total annihilation in the true sense.

Everything is ready to go. Just wait for the Han army to throw themselves into the net. Jumped in here.

At three o'clock, there were bursts of shouts and killings from outside the Snake Valley, and the rebels who were ambushed around the Snake Valley were all waiting eagerly, and one by two craned their necks to look. After a while, I saw a group of barbarians rushing towards the Snake Valley, and those who lost their armor along the way fled in a very embarrassed way, and some even lost their weapons.

And not far behind the barbarians. A group of people dressed in Han army clothes were chasing and fighting, and if there was a gust of wind, it swept towards the Snake Valley like a roar. And the Han army has a clear banner, the crowd is crowded, and the dust is rolled up everywhere it passes, looking at it from a distance, stretching for more than ten miles, the dust is stirring, and countless Han troops run out of the dust pile, endlessly. There is no end in sight.

This was clearly seen by the vultures that were lying in ambush at the entrance to the Valley of the Coiled Snakes, and as soon as he saw it. Knowing that it was the main force of the Han army coming, his eyes burst out with Dao essence, and the fists in his hands were clenched tighter.

Just when he was suspicious, the group of barbarians who fled in the wilderness had already rushed to the entrance of the Snake Valley, passing under his nose, and the Han army behind was also chasing quite urgently, the difference between the two armies was only a few hundred meters, so that the vulture bone did not dare to jump out to ask the news of the barbarian Mulu King, as long as he showed his head, the Han army would see his figure, then his ambush would have no meaning.

As a result, the vulture bone could only endure it, and for him, the Han army being able to enter the ambush circle was the result he wanted most. Moreover, Meng Shu has also issued a secret order, and even King Mulu and others must be wiped out, leaving no one behind!

Anyway, they are dead before and after, and it doesn't matter if the king of Mulu is already dead, or mixed with the barbarians.

The vulture bone lay quietly in the bushes, like a snake, silently, beside him, there were three thousand rattan armor soldiers, these people are people who can fight habitually, and the rattan armor they wear is also invulnerable, so whenever there is a war, all of them are one when ten, or even when a hundred people, this army crisscrosses various tribes in the south, has never been defeated, it can be said to be the most powerful army in the south, and the rattan armor soldiers are all the children of the vulture bone tribe, and they are all related to each other by blood and kinship, and they are both prosperous, all losses, and about the weakness of the vine armor, no one has ever known, and it will definitely not be mentioned to outsiders.

Therefore, the rattan armor soldiers have always been maintained in a standing state of 3,000 people, and the general vine armor soldiers will be replenished only after the non-combat attrition. And to enter the vine armor army, in addition to being brave, you also have to go through layers of screening, loyalty is the most important test, and only after completing this test can you enter the vine armor army.

Although the number of people led by the vulture bone is not large, with the unique vine armor of his tribe, he can withstand thousands of troops, and the vine armor army without any weaknesses is even more invincible on the battlefield.

But it was such a very ferocious army, and people couldn't figure it out, and everyone, including the leader of the vultures, was willing to obey the command of Meng Shu.

This has caused an uproar among the tribes in Nanzhong, and everyone is just speculating, but no one has ever given a reasonable explanation, and the vulture bone and others are too lazy to explain this anomaly, and over time, everyone naturally stops mentioning it.

How many of Meng Huo's competitors used to use their tricks to separate the vulture bone and Meng Huo, but instead of success, it stimulated the vulture bone's loyalty to Meng Huo even more, and after the backfire, everyone stopped thinking about these crooked ideas. And Meng Shu did not declare war on other tribes and conquer each other because he obtained vine armor soldiers such as vulture bones. On the contrary, Meng Shu only used the power of the rattan armor soldiers to unite the leaders of the various tribes, in a vain attempt to eliminate all the contradictions between the various tribes in Nanzhong and establish a unified and peaceful Nanzhong.

Perhaps, it is precisely because the vulture bone agrees with Meng Huo's grand idea that the vulture bone will be dead set on Meng Shu, everything is just speculation.

One after another, the Han soldiers followed the barbarians into the Valley of the Snake from under the noses of the vultures, and the number of people could not be counted, and the dust in the distance was flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the end could not be seen at a glance, and it seemed to stretch far and wide. At this moment, the vulture bone has been waiting for a long, long time, the day of the decisive battle is finally coming, and the end of the Han army is coming, in his heart, he is extremely happy.

The person who led the Han army into the Pansnake Valley first was none other than Wei Yan, who was ordered by Zhang Liao. The first to lead the troops into the Valley of the Coiled Snake. At the time of entering the Valley of the Coiled Snake. His tiger eyes were still scanning the bushes on both sides of the road, and from time to time he raised his head to look at both sides of the cliff.

In fact, there was an ambush in the Snake Valley, and the King of Mulu had already informed Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao also knew about Meng Shu's entire plan, which was to use the King of Mulu to lure the Han army into the Valley of the Snake, and then annihilate it. But Meng Shu categorically wouldn't have thought of it. King Mulu rebelled and secretly surrendered to the Han army, and even informed the enemy of all his plans.

After analyzing all the circumstances, Zhang Liao decided to use the King of Mulu to deal with Meng Shu, and united the forces of the King of Mulu to fight against the rebels.

However, because the location chosen by the rebels was in the very dangerous place of the Snake Valley, Zhang Liao, after careful consideration, still made a heroic and fearless act of knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains.

The geographical advantage of the Valley of the Snake is very advantageous for the rebels who occupy it. It is an excellent combat environment if you are not careful. Or Zhang Liao's misarrangement, it may lead to the annihilation of the Han army.

Because of this, Zhang Liao's approach was opposed by some people, but Zhang Liao tried his best to implement this plan at great risk.

Originally, the position of the vanguard belonged to Huang Zhong, but because Huang Zhong strongly opposed Zhang Liao's action arrangement, Zhang Liao was transferred away from the position of the vanguard, and Wei Yan, who was young and promising, took the position of pioneer, led 5,000 people to the front army, and took the lead in entering the Snake Valley to find out. And this trip is nine deaths, not everyone can pick up this burden.

When Zhang Liao found Wei Yan, Wei Yan did not refuse, but gladly accepted this task, in his opinion, life is to have some hard work, if it is not successful, the big deal is just death, if it succeeds, then his future prospects are limitless.

For Wei Yan, he was making a big gamble this time, and for Zhang Liao, he was not making a big gamble.

In fact, it was not only Wei Yan and Zhang Liao who made this gamble, but also King Mulu, Meng Huo, and even the entire people who participated in this decisive battle.

As for Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao was worried that he would make a mistake, so he transferred him to the rear army, responsible for pressing the formation, and once the battle in front was lost, all the remaining troops under Huang Zhong's command withdrew from the battlefield and retreated in the direction of Dianchi.

The two armies commanded by Pang De and Wu Yi were arranged by Zhang Liao on the left and right flanks, following the guide of King Mulu, copying small roads, preparing to attack from behind the rebels, to fight for the supreme place on the cliff of Pansnake Valley, only by mastering it is the key to victory in the war.

In addition, Zhang Liao led Wen Ping and others to stay at the entrance of the Snake Valley, waiting for the report sent back by Wei Yan.

In the valley of the snake, Wei Yan and others have already entered, its terrain is as complicated as recorded in the map of the barbarian fingers, there is a flowing stream at the bottom of the valley, the stream is very cold, shuttling through the entire valley floor, the two sides of the stream are rugged roads, the road is full of strange rocks, thousands of ravines, it is very difficult to walk. In addition, there is a breathtaking miasma at the bottom of the valley, the rock walls on both sides are very slippery, and the bushes on both sides make some rustling sounds from time to time.

Wei Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, there was already a trace of entanglement in his heart, he looked back at the soldiers who came with him, they were all a little timid, so he shook his spirit, and shouted at the soldiers: "All cheer up, what is there to be afraid of here, you all follow me, the Metropolitan Governor has always used soldiers like gods, and the arrangements are appropriate, and he will definitely not let me come to send him to death, when you leave, don't you all carry a bag of things with you, take him out and hold it in your hands, so that Those poisonous snakes won't dare come near you. ”

Seeing this, Wei Yan took out his small bag and held it high above his head, plucked up his courage, turned around and walked towards the valley, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Follow me!" If I die, go back. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yan strode forward, one foot deep and one foot shallow, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: "God, you must bless me, don't let anything happen, otherwise, everything will be wasted." ”

The further he went, the more obvious the chill at the bottom of the valley became, Wei Yan walked a distance of about ten meters, and there were many poisonous snakes with their heads showing their heads along the way, but they didn't know why, although they were eyeing Wei Yan, they never approached Wei Yan, nor did they attack. On the contrary, these poisonous snakes even avoided Wei Yan and respected him like a god.

Wei Yan walked for a while, stopped, turned around and saw that the road he had come was covered with large and small snakes, and all the poisonous snakes were spitting letters, but they just didn't dare to attack him, which made him feel a little comforted in his heart, and secretly thought: "It seems that this realgar really works." ”

"You all saw it, I don't have anything to do now, you all have things in your hands, those poisonous snakes don't dare to come close to you, it's good enough if you don't kill them, what are you hesitating there, don't come here quickly!" Wei Yan shouted at the Han soldiers in the distance.

These 5,000 Han soldiers were all brave men who had been screened for some time, and after looking at each other, they all mustered up their courage and began to move forward boldly, as Wei Yan said, those groups of poisonous snakes did not dare to approach these soldiers with realgar in their hands, and let them pass under their noses.

In a short time, five thousand Han soldiers under the leadership of Wei Yan walked a dangerous road at the entrance of the Snake Valley, and Wei Yan also accidentally discovered that the bottom of the Snake Valley is not so treacherous, after walking for about a mile or two, there will be an open place, the rock wall is arched, from the bottom up, like a gourd, there are not many snakes here, and the terrain is relatively flat, even if they attack from above, they can also rely on the bottom of the valley to dodge under the rocks on both sides.

Wei Yan immediately sent someone back to inform Zhang Liao of the situation here, and he also led the people to stop moving forward.

At this time, the barbarians who led them into the Valley of the Coiled Snake appeared in front of them, and when they saw Wei Yan and the others stopped there, they asked, "Why did you stop?" ”

Wei Yan said: "Take a break for the time being, and wait here for the next step of instructions from the Grand Governor." ”

"There is still a long way ahead, and there is a most dangerous road behind, if you don't leave, we have to go first, and before Meng Shu's people have attacked, we must leave here first."

As soon as the words fell, the barbarian turned around and left, disappearing without a trace, leaving only Wei Yan and the others to stay in the Snake Valley, patiently waiting for Zhang Liao's order...... (To be continued.) )
