The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 772 Chapter 771
As the scouts reported, after more than an hour, the rebels in Nanzhong indeed rushed towards the camp of the Han army like half the tide, but the rebels did not have any formation to speak of, although there were rebels in all directions The figure of the Han army, but it looked very loose, and the rebels did not stop at all, and directly attacked the camp of the Han army, wave after wave.

On the huge flat ground, there was a dense mass of people, and the rebels rushed forward hoarsely, carrying all kinds of weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the Han army camp fearlessly.

Under Zhang Liao's order, the various camps of the Han army had already established a series of defensive systems. Seeing the rebels rushing over, they all cheered up and prepared to fight a bloody battle with the rebels.

In the camp of the Han army, the archers shot the first wave of arrows towards the charging rebels. The densely packed arrows soared into the sky and shot towards the rebel camp. The charging rebels all This one was confident, not only did not take any cover, but rushed forward even faster.

Arrows shot at the enemy troops outside the camp one after another, but the effect received was very microscopic. The rebels rushed over seemingly in disorder, but in fact they were fully prepared. Although they did not have a team The shape is scattered, but the waves are scattered, and a wave of arrows shoots past, but very few people are actually shot to death by the arrows, and the number of casualties is not very obvious.Moreover, the rebels charged in echelons. Although they were wave after wave, there was still a large gap between each batch of charging rebels, which was enough for the rebels to have room to maneuver.

Arrows rained all over the sky from the Han army camp, but they couldn't stop the advance of the rebels. Instead, the rebels rushed to the vicinity and began to shoot at the Han army camp with bows and arrows.

For a while, arrows flew back and forth in the air, densely packed like a swarm of locusts, but fortunately, there were some defensive buildings in the camp of the Han army, and archers could hide behind the buildings to avoid being injured by enemy arrows.

On a high slope about two miles away from the camp of the Han army, a group of people came here on horses, and a large flag with the word Meng in black fluttered in the wind.

Beneath the Meng character flag, the leader of the entire rebel army, Meng Huo, who claimed to be the king of Nanzhong, was staring closely at the Han army camp in the distance with a pair of tiger eyes.

This time Meng Huo brought an army of 20, but these were not his main force. His main force of [-] was still gathered around Ailao Mountain, anxiously waiting for his further instructions.

These 20 troops have already completely surrounded the Han army camp. With the Han army camp as the center, there are densely packed rebels within a five-mile radius. They are not hidden, but directly exposed to the sight of the Han army. Underneath, there was no conspiracy or trick, and he rushed forward directly, just wanting to compete with the Han army.

At least this is what Meng Huo wanted the Han army to see, making him mistakenly think that the 20 army was his main force, thus arousing the Han army's desire to fight him.

Meng Huo was riding on his horse and saw wave after wave of rebels rushing towards the Han army like a tide. It seemed to be surging, but in fact Meng Huo was very clear in his psychology. These 20 people, and Last time Meng You led the same group of mobs.

However, the overall quality and combat effectiveness of the army led by Meng Huo are stronger than those led by Meng You. The 5 people last time were pure cannon fodder. In-depth, but it was able to fight with the Han army, thus weakening the strength of the Han army.

This operation was under the full command of Meng Huo, and the leaders of all tribes fully cooperated. This was the result of a unified discussion among all the rebel leaders. The purpose was to introduce the Han army into the Ailao Mountain area and rely on the local favorable terrain to attack the Han army. .

"Your Majesty Meng, the Han army is sticking to the camp and seems to have no plans to come out to fight. If we continue to charge recklessly like this, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties." A bearded man next to Meng Huo said.

This long-bearded man has a strong physique and looks like a big and thick man, but his eyes are full of shrewdness, a pair of black eyes are constantly turning, as if he has been thinking about something.

The bearded man was none other than King Mulu who led an army from Nanman to support Meng Huo.King Mulu is extremely ugly. Among the southern barbarian tribes who always judge their superiority by force, although his force is not the first, he is also the best among them, and he is as famous as Wu Tugu.

Although King Mulu is also known as a great king, he actually leads only a dozen tribes. In recent years, King Mulu has used force to conquer east and west, fight south and north, and have merged a series of more than a dozen surrounding tribes, large and small. After that, King Mulu claimed to be the king, but the area he actually controlled was about the size of a township of the Han people.

Nanman is widely distributed throughout the south, and there are many branches among them. The tribe where King Mulu belongs belongs to a branch of Nanman, and has always been adjacent to Nanzhong. If calculated according to the region, King Mulu should belong to the Han Dynasty. Jiaozhou is right.

Although he claims to be the barbarian king, no one pays attention to him, not even Sha Moke, the barbarian king of Wuxi. After all, Samoke still commands all the barbarians in Jingnan area, while King Mulu is only in command of Sha Moke. Less than [-]% of the population of Moco.

But such a tribe has gained a foothold in Nanzhong. The fundamental reason is that in addition to being superior in force, King Mulu is also proficient in witchcraft. He can make poisonous insects and beasts fight for him. character of.

Because of this, although Meng Huo had wanted to annex King Mulu's tribe many times, he was still a bit jealous and didn't dare to do it casually, fearing that he would suffer heavy losses because of it.

After Meng Huo heard what King Mulu said, he just sneered, and said slowly: "If tens of thousands of lives can be exchanged for the complete annihilation of the Han army, I think it is very meaningful for these people to die."

King Mulu said: "Then what if the Han army doesn't take the bait?"

Meng Huo's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't thought of this question yet, or in his heart, there was no such thing as not being hooked.

King Mulu's words made Meng Huo feel a little worried. He stared at the entire battlefield and saw that the Han army was defending calmly. If you rush and fight like this, your side will lose more and more troops.

The most important thing is that these troops do not belong to him alone, but are assembled by many ministries in Nanzhong. If too many people die, the rest of the ministries will not want to work hard anymore.

Thinking of this, Meng Huo was in trouble, and asked, "I wonder if King Mulu has any good ideas to lure the enemy into taking the bait?"

King Mulu laughed a few times, and then said: "Of course...as long as King Meng is willing to lead an army to attack the camp of the Han army, and then feign defeat and flee, I believe there will be many people in the camp of the Han army." Few people can't resist coming out to chase King Meng!"

"You want me to risk my life?" Meng Huo asked.

King Mulu said: "If the king wants to succeed, he must do this, and only by doing this can he be truly successful. For them, the king is the biggest bait."

Meng Huo sneered, but didn't respond, but continued to ride on his horse, watching the entire battlefield quietly. The number of people charging kept decreasing, and the enemy didn't react at all after the feint, which seemed to have no effect.But unless it is absolutely necessary, he must not risk himself, this is the bottom line.

The battlefield is changing rapidly. Although the number of rebels is large, the defense of the Han army is very strict, and in the barracks of the Han army, all the troops are prepared for any danger. Arrows that are as numerous as a cow's hair are shot in the past wave after wave, making many charging rebels The soldiers of the army fell under the arrows.

Seeing this situation, Meng Huo was unwilling to admit that his strategy had failed. In a rage, he sent another 2 people to rush through the four gates of the camp.

After King Mulu saw this, he shook his head helplessly, and muttered, "It's another group of people who are about to turn into corpses..."

After hearing this, Meng Huo looked very unhappy, turned to King Mulu and said, "What do you mean by that?"

King Mulu said: "It's not interesting."

At this time, the cave master who brought Meng Huo saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came forward to mediate, and Meng Huo and King Mulu gave up.

In the camp of the Han army, all the soldiers were ready to fight. Zhang Liao, the governor of Nanzhong, boarded a watchtower located in the Chinese army, overlooking the entire battlefield from a condescending posture, and then gave specific orders.When Zhang Liao noticed another wave of troops coming, he immediately ordered all the barracks to strengthen their defenses, remember to let the enemy approach the barracks, and use powerful arrow arrays to suppress the rebels.

This time, the rebels seemed to be wise. Everyone held an oaken shield to block the arrows shot by the Han army, so as not to turn into a corpse.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also noticed Meng Huo on the high slope. Seeing Meng Huo and a group of people standing there, gesticulating, his face showed joy, and he immediately said to Wenpin behind him: "Immediately!" Gather all the cavalry in the central army, and I will go out to fight!"

As the chief general of the army, Zhang Liao said this time that he would go out to fight, which stunned Wenpin all of a sudden, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to fight in place of the commander-in-chief!"

Zhang Liao waved his hand and refused, "You stay here to observe the enemy's situation and give orders instead of me."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao went down from the watchtower, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

Not long after, Wenpin stood on the watchtower and suddenly saw a cavalry team of more than [-] people secretly driving from the central army to the rear army. among...
