Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Zhou Tong led the Red Flame Army and began to set up a wall of fire in the elephant habitat.

In nature, except for moths that fly into fire, there are almost no animals that are not afraid of fire, and elephants are no exception.

When the blazing flames ignited, the elephant was frightened and immediately opened its pillar-like legs and fled quickly.

Their weight of three to four tons makes the ground shake when they run.

The direction in which the elephant was running happened to be the habitat of the Southern Barbarian Buffalo Legion.

Zhou Tong led the soldiers of the Red Flame Army and chased after the elephant slowly.

When the elephants in front are about to slow down, they will shoot rockets to drive them away.

Not long after, the elephants rushed into the bison's habitat.

This time, it immediately exploded.

The bison also began to stir up the elephants, and they rushed around wildly.

Naturally, the wild soldiers of the Buffalo Legion were also affected.

For a time, countless barbarian soldiers were trampled by elephants or buffaloes in their sleep.

The soldiers who finally escaped the stampede were frightened out of their wits and bumped around.

Zhou Tong led the soldiers of the Red Flame Army, lighting fires everywhere while attacking the barbarians who had not yet returned to their souls.

Suddenly, the barbarians suffered heavy casualties.

Let's talk about the Barbarian King Meng Lu. He first heard the sounds of fighting in two places where he had set up ambushes in advance, and he couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on his face.

Xia Jun has fallen into his trap! This time, they couldn't escape.

But after that, the fighting seemed to take too long.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have persisted for so long.

Faintly, the Barbarian King Meng Lu felt uneasy.

And soon, a fire broke out at the Xiangjun Department, and Meng Lu's face suddenly became ugly.

He didn't expect that Xia Jun would be so bold.

Not only did they send soldiers to attack the two military camps in the southeast at night, they even sent men and horses to make a sneak attack on the Elephant Army.

Meng Lu really didn't expect that Xia Jun would be so bold.

How many troops did they send?

Aren't they afraid that their army will be trapped here?

The Elephant Army is a very important part of their southern barbarian army.

As long as they work together properly, the Elephant Army can work wonders.

Therefore, the barbarian king Meng Lu absolutely could not let the Xiang army suffer any losses.

The barbarian king Meng Lu decisively sent a barbarian army to support the elephant army.

However, this supporting barbarian army had just set off, and there was another fire on the side of the Buffalo Legion.

This made the Barbarian King Meng Lu take a breath of cold air, and his spine began to shiver.

Just one problem in the elephant army made the Barbarian King Menglu feel very distressed.

Unexpectedly, even the Buffalo Legion had a problem at this moment.

This made the Barbarian King Meng Lu feel heartbroken to the point of bleeding.

The Barbarian King Menglu quickly sent another army to support the Buffalo Legion.

At this time, torches can be seen flashing everywhere in the wild, and the sounds of people can be heard everywhere.

The entire barbarian army camp outside the city has turned into a mess.

There was so much excitement outside the city, and the sound of fighting in the southeast continued for the whole night.

At dawn, they were surprised to find that they were encircling and suppressing the Xia army.

It was actually their three teams fighting each other.

No wonder I always felt familiar when we were fighting last night.

After some inventory, they suddenly discovered that the battlefield was just in the southeast.

As many as 5,700 people died from the Xia army's attacks and their own cannibalism.

This number is simply too much for them to bear.

You know, in a large-scale war, the number of casualties may not be that high in the end.

Such a loss made the Barbarian King Meng Lu bleed in his heart.

What made the Barbarian King Meng Lu even more painful was that the Southwest Beast Legion suffered even more heavy losses.

Although the number of soldiers lost was not that many, only more than 3,000.

But the death of his beast army was too heavy.

There is no trace of more than half of the elephants and bison, and it is not yet known whether they can be recovered.

Most of the less than half who did not run away were injured, and some were even seriously injured and could not be saved by sight.

Such a loss was simply unbearable for the Barbarian King Meng Lu.

Such losses also shaken the battle plan prepared in advance by the Barbarian King Meng Lu.

Do you really want to continue attacking Daxia like this?

Before Da Xia's top pick who won six yuan in a row arrived with the 10,000 Xia troops, their early attack was smooth sailing.

The Xia army they fought lost their helmets and armor and could not find the north. This also made the Barbarian King Meng Lu despise the Xia army from the bottom of his heart.

But when Da Xia's top scorer who won six yuan in a row led 10,000 Xia troops, everything changed.

This Wanxia army is brave and courageous. Killing them is like slaughtering chickens and dogs. They can be called an invincible army.

How on earth they scared away the wolves, the Barbarian King Menglu is still puzzled to this day.

Because he simply couldn't figure out the key point, which even the barbarian army couldn't do.

And the night attack last night was even more bizarre.

After Meng Lu thought about it carefully, he gradually came back to his senses.

To the southeast yesterday, the Xia army was probably feigning an attack. Their main target was not here, but on the southwest beast army.

But how they could induce their three barbarian armies to kill each other was really puzzling to Meng Lu.

If Jia Huan were here and understood Meng Lu's doubts, he would definitely tell him that all this was carefully planned by the Red Flame Army.

Jia Huan took advantage of the fact that soldiers of this era would suffer from night blindness due to imbalanced nutrition.

The number of Red Flame Army soldiers who came here to attack the camp last night was not large, but they were not wearing military uniforms, but special night clothes.

Wearing this kind of night clothes, if necessary, you can lie down on the ground and hold a lantern. As long as you don't lie down to look, you won't see any flaws at all.

In this case, the Red Flame Army scouts could easily lead them to the combat location and escape easily.

And before escaping, you can use crossbows to conduct a three-way attack, which will allow them to fight successfully.

They can also conduct secret attacks when they are about to find out.

This combination of punches successfully caused the three barbarian armies to fight for almost a whole night, causing them heavy losses.

The heavy losses of the Beast Legion made the Barbarian King Meng Lu even more hesitant.

On Daxia's side, only 10,000 vanguard troops came, but they suffered such serious losses.

Is Xia Jun's combat power really as vulnerable as he imagined?

Or is it only the frontier army in the southwest that is vulnerable, while the central army in Daxia is very powerful?

If so, when Daxia's central army arrives, will they really be able to occupy half of Daxia's country as they wish?

At this time, Meng Lu, the Barbarian King, was already shrinking in his heart.

The four parties had originally agreed to carve up Daxia together, so there was no need for the Southern Barbarians to attack too hard.

It would be better to retreat and wait for the other two parties.

Thinking of this, Barbarian King Meng Lu calmed down completely.

He decided not to continue the attack, but began to hold on to the territory they had previously seized in Daxia. As long as they can firmly occupy these territories, they have already taken advantage of them.

There is no need to pursue more. People's desires are endless. If the human heart is not enough, be careful and you will strangle yourself to death.

At this moment, the Barbarian King Menglu received the latest news.

The Kingdom of Jin and Da Yueshi have already begun war with Da Xia.

Although it was not a large-scale war, both sides only had tentative confrontations.

However, the fight started anyway.

Now Daxia is at war in three places. No matter which side loses, Daxia will fall into a quagmire and even fall apart.

After getting this news, Barbarian King Menglu couldn't help but feel happy.

Great, the other two countries are already at war with Daxia.

This also strengthened his determination to keep quiet.

What is anxious now is Daxia.

Daxia will definitely not be able to fight on three sides for a long time, and their national strength will definitely be unable to bear it.

Only by finding ways to end the war on one or both sides as soon as possible can they get out of the quagmire.

Therefore, it is Daxia who is anxious now.

The Barbarian King Menglu felt that the probability of Daxia suing for peace with them was very high.

When the time comes, he can kill Daxia severely.

After making such a decision, Meng Lu simply retreated all fronts.

Now his defense is as unbreakable as iron.

The Barbarian King Meng Lu put what he thought was the only flaw - food and grass - in an absolutely safe position.

One of the mountains is a thousand meters away from the cliff.

There is no way you can reach here if you shoot an arrow from the cliff, even with a powerful crossbow.

And this cliff is simply impossible to climb down.

Meng Lu sent heavy troops to guard the other three sides to ensure that nothing went wrong.

If the hero wants to destroy this food and grass, he will definitely lose a tooth.

You can't even get close to the food and grass area without risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

……

At this time, Jia Huan naturally also received the news that the Kingdom of Jin and Dayuezhi were at war with Daxia at the same time.

After learning the news, Jia Huan couldn't help but frowned.

The situation is very unfavorable for Daxia. The current plan is to end the war with the Nanman as quickly as possible. The faster the better.

As long as the Southwest War ends, it is very likely that the Jin Kingdom and the Dayue clan will retreat without a fight.

In fact, the Kingdom of Jin suffered heavy losses last year. They did not have enough strength to start a war with Daxia.

If the war in the southwest ends, the Jin Kingdom will undoubtedly withdraw its troops.

The Da Yueshi are a nation that bullies the weak and fears the strong.

If you shrink back, he will dare to take ten steps forward.

If you try to be tough, he will back down immediately.

As long as the Southwest and the Jin Kingdom withdraw their troops, the Da Yueshi will not dare to go to war with Da Xia on a single front.

But if the southwest war falls into a quagmire, then the Yueshi and the Jin Kingdom will definitely turn into the most ferocious and cunning wolves.

They will definitely tear off pieces of fat from Daxia's body.

Therefore, the war in the southwest must be resolved quickly.

Jia Huan sent out scouts again.

In the afternoon, Jia Huan learned about the changes in the Nanman army.

The Nanman Army actually shrank!

They were originally the attacking party, but at this time they actually gave up attacking and instead put up a defensive formation.

This must be the decision made by the Nanman after they learned that the Jin Kingdom and the Da Yuezhi were at war with Daxia at the same time.

In fact, this choice of the Southern Barbarians is not consistent with the interests of the Jin Kingdom and the Dayeshi.

What the Jin Kingdom and the Dayeshi want more is for the Nanman Kingdom to attack fiercely, so that they can cooperate with them.

It can only be said that the cooperation between these three parties requires at least five minds.

After Jia Huan fully understood the Nanman's defense line, he couldn't help but frown.

If the Nanman continue to attack, they will reveal more flaws.

But now the Nanman shrank like a hedgehog.

If you try to bite him, you will be stabbed all over.

Jia Huan stared at the military map, and based on the Nanman's defenses, he began to look for the Nanman's weaknesses.

After a long time, Jia Huan frowned and couldn't help but send someone to call his deputy Zhou Tong.

"General Zhou, you also know the news about the war between the Jin Kingdom and Da Yueshi and Daxia."

"Now we must drive the Nanman out of Daxia as quickly as possible, and we must end this war."

"On this military map, I have marked the Nanman defense situation."

"General Xia, how do you think we should attack?"

Zhou Tong watched carefully, and after a while, his eyes lit up.

But then, he frowned again.

After thinking hard, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "General, after looking at the Nanman's defense map, it is really difficult to find its weaknesses."

"In my opinion, we must wait until the army arrives and then use all our strength to defeat it. There is no other good way."

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "General Zhou, why don't you attack his food and grass?"

"I think their food and grass is their weakness, and as long as their food and grass are burned, their deployment will be disrupted."

Zhou Tong took a deep look at Jia Huan and said meaningfully: "General, the food and grass of the Southern Barbarians seem to have flaws, but this is not the case."

"This is actually the Nanman using food and grass as bait to lure us into taking the bait."

"General, look, if we really attack the Southern Barbarians for food, we will definitely be ambushed by them on all sides."

"When the time comes, we will definitely be surrounded by them and it will be difficult to escape."

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "Vice General Zhou, you are actually thinking about the problem too complicatedly."

"Wait for tomorrow and see how this general burns the Nanman's food and grass."

After hearing what Jia Huan said, Zhou Tong said nervously: "General, no, it's better to wait until General Niu arrives with his army before we make any calculations."

"If anything goes wrong at this time, we may not be able to bear the consequences."

Jia Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, my general wants to burn the southern barbarians' food and grass, so why send troops to attack? You only need to stand on the cliff to burn the southern barbarians' food and grass."

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Zhou Tong was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Is the general planning to set fire to the sky lantern again?"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "We really can't use the Kongming Lantern this time. The first wind direction is wrong and we can't burn the Nanman grain and grass at all."

"Besides, the Nanman side has already taken precautions. I will use another method and I will find out when I try it tomorrow."

Hearing what Jia Huan said, Zhou Tong became more and more curious.

He really couldn't imagine what method Jia Huan could use to burn the Nanman's food and grass on the cliff.

There is no danger in standing on the cliff.

Because the Nanman was shrinking, it was unrealistic to attack in a large circle to reach the cliff. (End of chapter)
