- Something bad is going on, it¡¯s important to escape!
Meng Huo was so frightened that only these eight words remained in his mind.
Without thinking much, Meng Huo turned around and ran away.
But before Meng Huo could give the order, the frightened barbarian soldiers had already collapsed, scrambling to turn around and collapse.
The elephants rolling over were enough to destroy the fighting spirit of the barbarian army in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the originally menacing barbarian army turned into an unprecedented collapse.
Man retreated in horror, and the more than 20,000 Shu troops led by Liu Zhang were also frightened and disorganized.
The frightened Liu Zhang, escorted by Zhang Ren and Ma Chao, followed Meng Huo's example and ran southward to escape.
Meng Huo and Liu Zhang were lucky because they had horses at their backs, and although the war elephants were running wildly, they still couldn't catch up with the speed of the horses.
But those infantry with only two feet were in dire straits. They were so frightened that even if they abandoned their helmets and armor and ran as fast as they could, they could not outrun the frightened war elephants.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of war elephants crowded in.
The fragile flesh of the barbarian army was knocked to the ground in hundreds, and then trampled by countless pairs of giant feet.
After the elephant's feet passed, the flesh and blood body had sunk deeply into the soil and shattered into a swamp of flesh everywhere. It was almost impossible to tell where the soil was and where it was human flesh and blood.
The howling sounds of grief and fright were ruthlessly drowned out by the earth-shattering galloping sound of the war elephants.
The clever Shu barbarian soldiers fled to the mountains next to the road in a hurry. Some even jumped into Minshui in panic and were swept away by the rapid current.
And those enemy soldiers who reacted less well were so stupid that they only knew how to run wildly on the road, and were eventually crushed to death by the elephants.
The avenues more than ten miles south from Nan'an City were all dyed red with flesh and blood, like a scarlet carpet more than ten miles long, extending all the way south.
Yan Liang's army followed the elephant herd and ruthlessly dealt with the surviving barbarian soldiers.
The barbarian army showed their bestiality and slaughtered innocent Han people wantonly. The behavior of these beasts had already angered these Yan family soldiers.
At this moment, all their accumulated anger was vented, and they slaughtered the barbarian army with thousands of swords to avenge the dead Han people.
From early morning to afternoon, Yan Liang led his army and chased them for more than thirty miles before resting.
And during this pursuit, three to four thousand Shuyi coalition troops were killed. As for the enemies who were trampled and crushed to death by the elephants, there were even more countless enemies.
After the great victory, Yan Liang did not choose to defend Nan'an this time. Instead, he issued an order and led an army of 50,000 to pursue the victory all the way south.
¡¡
For three days and three nights, without sleep, Meng Huo and Liu Zhang led their remaining soldiers and fled to Bodao City in one breath.
This is the southernmost city of Jianwei County. After passing this city and going south, you will enter Yueqi County among the seven counties in Nanzhong.
Meng Huo and Liu Zhang, who fled into the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Huo counted the battle losses and found that most of his 10,000 elephant troops were destroyed. Even the master of Mulu Cave was killed in the rebellion, and more than half of his 10,000 barbarian troops were also killed. This means that at this time, in his hands, The number of soldiers and horses is less than ten thousand.
As for Liu Zhang, it was not much better. Nearly half of the 25,000 troops and horses were lost, leaving only more than 15,000 men.
The Shu-Yi Allied Forces, which once boasted 80,000 soldiers, now only had a pitiful 20,000 people left. The losses were too heavy to be described as heavy.
At this time, Yan Liang's victorious army of more than 50,000 was only more than thirty miles away from Bodao City. When the army arrived, it could form a siege at any time.
In Bodao City, the atmosphere in Meng Huo's "palace" was gloomy.
Meng Huo sat there gloomily, his face gloomy, and the horrific scene of being chased by a herd of elephants still flashed in his mind.
The other generals were also frightened and disheartened.
"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty. My brother brought the cave master with 20,000 troops. As my wife, I will send someone to Nanzhong and call him to lead the army north to help in the battle." Zhu Rong stood up to cheer Meng Huo up.
Zhu Rong was born in a wealthy family in Nanzhong, and he had the support of his natal family. At this time, Zhu Rong naturally had to borrow troops from his natal family.
After hearing this, Meng Huo was overjoyed and his spirit cheered up a little.
At this time, Yong Kai said again: "Now that Yan Liang's pursuers are approaching, my subordinates thought, why didn't the king order Liu Zhang to hold on to this city, and the king used the excuse of moving troops to retreat to Xindao City first. In this case, Liu Zhang can be used to help I will use my strength to consume Yan Liang. When my reinforcements arrive, the king will raise his troops and go north again.?A flanking attack will definitely defeat Yan Liang. "
Meng Huo was deeply convinced and nodded in agreement.
Just when everyone had regained some energy, Meng You, who had lost his nose, snorted: "That Yan Liang is full of tricks and his soldiers are extremely elite. He can even defeat the elephant soldiers of the master of Mulu Cave, even if he brings The Cave Master's reinforcements have arrived, but I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat Yan Liang."
Meng You's worry immediately poured a layer of cold water on Meng Huo and others' newly improved mood.
"Yes, Yan Liang can defeat even the elephant soldiers. Even if we bring in more soldiers and horses, it's still not equivalent to death"
Everyone is so worried.
In the silence, Yong Kai, as the prime minister of Dayue Kingdom, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The reason why Yan Liang was able to defeat the elephant soldiers was not due to war. Now I recommend one person who will definitely defeat Yan Liang's elite soldiers."
Hearing that his prime minister had another plan, Meng Huo perked up and asked Yong Kai who he recommended.
Yong Kai then proudly announced the person he recommended.
"If it hadn't been for the Prime Minister's reminder, I would have almost forgotten that we still have this rare soldier in Nanzhong. So what are you waiting for? Send someone on Pegasus to Nanzhong to invite them." Meng Huo, who suddenly realized this, was extremely excited.
Yong Kai also looked proud and was busy going down to make arrangements.
At this time, Meng Huo felt as if he had been given a shot of stimulant. His original dejected mood was replaced by a high-spirited fighting spirit in the blink of an eye.
"Yan Lianghan Dog, I will tell you to be arrogant for a few days. When my two armies come, I will kill you without a place to bury you, haha¡ª¡ª"
¡¡
?? Thirty miles north of Bodao City.
By the Min River, the elite Yan family army was advancing southward along the winding mountain road.
The big flag with the word "Yan" is flying wildly under the caress of the river breeze and the mountain breeze.
Yan Liang, who had defeated the Xiang soldiers, was leading his army southward day and night, intending to wipe out the remnants of the Shu-barbarian coalition gathered in the south of Qianwei in one fell swoop.
A flying horse came, and the scouts arrived directly in front of Yan Liang.
"Please tell me, my lord, that there is an urgent report. Meng Huo has led his troops and horses to retreat to Xindao City, leaving only Liu Zhang and more than 10,000 Shu troops to guard Bodao."
Hearing the news, Yan Liang couldn't help but frown slightly, and four words flashed through his mind:
Meng Huo is running away!
"If Meng Huo wanted to flee back to Nanzhong, he would not station troops in Xindao. Now he is doing this because he must want Liu Zhang to consume our army and buy time for him to recruit more troops from Nanzhong." Fa Zheng stood up immediately. See through Meng Huo's intention.
Yan Liang felt relieved now. He was not afraid that Meng Huo would mobilize his troops to fight again. What he was most afraid of was that Meng Huo would be beaten and flee without fighting.
Just when Yan Liang felt relieved, another scout came from the north and delivered the urgent report from Jiameng Pass to Yan Liang.
This urgent report really made Yan Liang feel a little afraid.
It turned out that during the battle between Yan Liang and Meng Huo, Cao Cao in the north had completely pacified the hearts of Hanzhong. With the addition of the Hanzhong army, the total strength of Cao Cao's army in Hanzhong had reached 80,000. Now it has It was a massive effort to send troops southward.
In the direction of Jiameng Pass, Xia Houyuan's 40,000 troops were launching a mad attack on Jiameng Pass day and night.
On the other side, Cao Cao led 20,000 troops under Xu Huang and Cao Xiu, and 10,000 troops under Cao Zhen and Li Dian, from Micang Road and Jinniu Road, to attack Brazil County and threaten Langzhong, an important town in northern Shu.
Cao Cao's three armies launched a fierce offensive against Shu on three fronts from west to east.
As for Jiameng, veteran general Yan Yanliang defended Guancheng and fought hard with more than 10,000 troops.
On the Langzhong line, the Jingyang reinforcements led by Zhang He and Pan Zhang were on the line from Langzhong to Danqu, blocking the attacks of the other two Cao troops.
The generals combined had only nearly 30,000 troops, but they had to face the attack of Cao Cao's 80,000 troops.
On the other hand, Cao Cao seemed eager to seize Shuzhong while Yan Liangxin was unable to get away from Yizhou. Therefore, while advancing south, he continued to draw troops from the Guanlong area into Hanzhong.
"The situation in the north is urgent. It seems that Gu needs to end the war in the south as soon as possible." After reading the information, Yan Liang said with emotion.
At this time, Li Hui said: "My lord, the general has a plan that may hasten Meng Huo's demise."
"What clever idea does De'ang have? Tell me quickly." Yan Liang suddenly became interested.
"Meng Huo raised troops to rebel. Those who responded were not only the four counties in the south among the seven counties. The officials in the three counties including Zhu Ti in the north were just afraid of Meng Huo's power and had no choice but to respond.A thief may not be truly loyal to Meng Huo in his heart. "
After a pause, Li Hui continued: "Hui heard that Zhu Ti, the prefect Wang and his wife, and the meritorious Cao Lu Kai have always been at odds with the barbarians. Why don't my lord write a letter to summon them to surrender? If these two people can If they surrender, your lord can order them to lead the soldiers of Zhuti County and go south to capture Meng Huo's home base of Jianning County, directly cutting off Meng Huo's escape route. Even if Meng Huo is defeated, he will have nowhere to escape and will definitely attack in one fell swoop. Destroyed by the Lord."
Wang and his wife, Lu Kai
The historical memories of these two people quickly emerged in Yan Liang¡¯s mind.
Yan Liang vaguely remembered that in history, there was a rebellion in Nanzhong, and all the counties responded. It was Wang and Lu Kai who refused to join the thieves and defended the city until Zhuge Liang's southern army arrived.
??It seems that, as Li Hui said, these two people have always been hostile to the barbarians and refused to submit.
"Li Hui's plan to steal the enemy's back is indeed a good plan if he thinks about it carefully.
"De'ang's plan is indeed a clever one. Zheng believes that this plan is feasible." Fazheng also agreed with Li Hui's proposal.
Since this was the case, Yan Liang still had no hesitation. He immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to take a small road to Zhuti County.
So, Yan Liang sent people north and ordered Yan Yan and other generals in the north to stick to the front to the death. At the same time, he destroyed the army and quickly went south.
The next day, Yan Liang's 50,000-strong army arrived at Bodao City.
The siege was over, and Yan Liang was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he ordered Pang De to write a letter and send someone to Bodao City.
The person this letter is meant for is Ma Chao. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
