On the bank of Lu River.
"Give me a chisel!"
Li Xian stood among this group of rattan-armored cavalry and ordered angrily. These soldiers, who had not fought in nearly a month, were all gearing up. Under the rattan-armored masks, none of them could stop their excitement.
With an order, a thousand vine-armored cavalry once again formed a cone-shaped formation under the Li-character flag raised by Tian Dali, tightly surrounding the flag in the middle. However, Tian Dali shouted loudly: "Charge the formation." !" These thousand cavalrymen galloped out like arrows, and in an instant, they stirred up dust all over the sky.
Li Xian's troops were transferred to this place and camped here. It was the closest unit to the Ding Army led by Meng Huo with 10,000 swords. However, these two or three miles became the best distance for a cavalry charge.
These thousand vine-armored cavalry rushed straight into Meng Huo's formation at a speed that was almost as fast as the light cavalry. In an instant, the shouts shook the sky. The entire Meng Huo army formation had no way to deal with it. It was almost like a stick of incense. Over time, a huge gap was torn open in this tens of thousands of troops. The so-called card knife to tease the Ding army was the magic weapon Meng Huo used to win at this time. After all, this army was the elite of Tulong Cave, and the so-called card knife was the magic weapon that Meng Huo used to win. The swordsmen are the so-called bare-chested infantrymen, holding swords and shields, with their faces covered in ghost masks. They are known to have scales on their armpits, three heads and six arms.
But these are all redundant. When Li Xian came here, he could see the clues. Barbarians often have sacrifices, and there are many ghosts among them. It is natural for ordinary Yunnan people to be frightened when they see this scene, but they can face such a person. The staunch materialist general is afraid that these so-called psychological warfare are just in vain.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the military formation has been penetrated!" Meng Huo looked at his army of 10,000 people with a surprised look on his face, and was torn open by a thousand cavalry into a huge gap. It was torn apart, rather it was torn open alive. This group of armored cavalry even split the general formation as hard as a big axe, and the opponent did not even suffer any losses. They were also horrified. Looking back at this, The ground was already covered with mud and flesh trampled by war horses.
No matter how loud the name of your unit is or how terrifying the appearance is, in the face of such absolute strength, basically every soldier has aroused the desire to escape, because there is no chance that the next time someone attacks, it will be here.
"Your Majesty, this general is too fierce. Why don't you retreat first to avoid his attack?" The person who spoke was none other than Meng Huo's wife Zhu Rong.
"Should I avoid his sharp edge? In Nanzhong, who needs me to avoid other people's sharp edges? I am the barbarian king!" Meng Huo was obviously angry when facing this defeated army of swordsmen. "I am ten times its strength. I am the barbarian king. Crush him to death too! Surround him up!"
The swordsman who was cut into two rows suddenly woke up when he heard the order. After all, in terms of military strength, I have the advantage! The moment they heard Meng Huo's order, they surrounded them and tried to trap the troops to death.
"Fire arrows!" Gong Jie of the rear army saw that the front army had penetrated Meng Huo's army formation, and when Meng Huo's military order came down to encircle, the two thousand soldiers of the rear army all took out their divine arm bows, started shooting, and began to stop the swordsmen. Because these soldiers themselves were not wearing armor, except for a few metal shields, which were completely able to block these divine arm bows, the rest of the wooden shields could only be penetrated by both men and shields at such a close distance. share.
"Formation! Carve out again!" Li Xian waved the spear in his hand again. Before the encirclement was formed, he once again formed a cone-shaped formation and charged horizontally. In almost half the time it took to penetrate the military formation last time, he once again smashed through the formation. A huge gap was torn open horizontally in the swordsman formation, and many soldiers were trampled to dust again before they even had time to react.
Meng Huo could clearly see his red-haired ox, and he was angry and unwilling to give up. Even if he could kill one or two hundred of his cavalry, it would be good. However, these swords could hardly cut down these armored cavalry, except for the speed of their horses. The reason was not attrition in battle, there were basically no losses. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He immediately drew his big bow on the red-haired ox. He wanted to see if such armor could be broken. The ox's back was unusually wide. He would use the big bow. Hold the bow horizontally in front of you, hold it with your feet, tighten the bow string with both hands, mount a three-foot long iron arrow, and shoot towards the big flag with the character Li.
The accuracy of this arrow was extraordinary. If Meng Huo had not shot this arrow out of desperation, it would have hit Li Xian directly. Fortunately, because Meng Huo was too strong, the arrow would have hit Li Xian directly. The sergeant on the right shot, and in the flash of lightning, not to mention the vine armor, the sergeant was carried out three meters away from the horse, including the arrow, and then was nailed straight to the ground.
The sergeant who was building the formation was also shocked. Who could be so powerful? While he was still thinking, he was interrupted by Li Xian's sharp shout: "We are forming a formation! Chill it for me!"
This time the flag was pointed straight at Meng Huo's central army. Obviously, the so-called Pai Dao Army had been smashed to pieces by this cavalry. Some died and some fled, and the front of the central army was exposed. What's more, the arrow just now revealed his position. Li Xian was so shrewd that he made a decisive decision and charged towards Meng Huo's army.
But when he heard the red-haired cow moo, and began to exhale bursts of hot air from his nostrils, Meng Huo's desire to fight was obviously aroused, so he picked up his two axes and went to fight in the formation.
But these sergeants almost didn't see Meng Huo coming into the scene with his double axe. They continued to cut forward. No matter how mighty the red-haired ox was, it couldn't keep up with the speed of these horses. In their hearts, they were shocked and confused. He scolded: "Meng Huo, your opponent is me!"
It was obvious that the sergeants who were cutting the formation had directly broken through the Chinese army's tent, and apart from the fleeing swordsmen, the only one left in front of them was the cavalryman in full vine armor with only his eyes exposed.
"Who are you!"
"This is Li Hanxing from Jingzhou, and I came here to take your life." Li Xianyang pointed the spear in his hand at Meng Huo and said.
"You have the guts!" Meng Huo said loudly, "I thought you Han people were just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that there would be such a brave person like you, so I accepted this challenge."
After Meng Huo finished speaking, he spurred the red-haired ox on his crotch and swung his two axes straight towards Li Xian. Li Xian knew that this beast was extremely powerful, so he also rallied his war horse and slithered past Meng Huo's side and raised his axe. The gun left a long wound on Meng Huo's left arm. Meng Huo was in pain, so he urged the red-haired ox to turn around. How could the speed of the ox be compared with the horse, so Li Xian urged him to move his crotch again. He dismounted his horse, penetrated Meng Huo's back again at a faster speed, raised the butt of his gun, and hit Meng Huo's back hard. However, Meng Huo's skin was rough and his flesh was thick, so this blow actually did not cause much harm to him, but only hit him on his back. A long purple mark was left on his body. Just like this, Meng Huo's body was already stained in many places.
"No fight, no fight, it's not fair!" Meng Huo shouted, but at this moment, Meng Huo also felt pain and realized the problem.
"Why is it unfair?" Li Xian also stopped and raised his spear and asked.
"My ox is not as fast as your horse, it is unfair!" Meng Huo then shouted.
"You brought 10,000 troops to fight today, right? I only have 3,000 troops. Is it fair?" Li Xian asked.
Meng Huo was embarrassed for a moment and said: "This doesn't count, I still have soldiers to fight with you!"
Li Xian looked at the surrounding battlefield again, seeing the horses trampling on the mud and flesh, and said to Meng Huo: "Have all your soldiers fled? It seems that no one except me recognizes you as the king now?"
Li Xian looked at Meng Huo again. Basically, this guy's bloody body had already said goodbye to his fighting power. He only brought Tian Dali, who was digging the formation at the rear, and pressed Zhu Rong and Meng You back to this place. He then ordered: "Tie them up for me." Now, go see the Prime Minister!"
"I don't accept it! It's unfair!" Meng Huo continued to yell.
Then let this guy yell, after all, he doesn't know the pain, and he will know it when his strength is exhausted.
Lushui Camp.
Zhuge Liang was sitting in the tent, with civil and military personnel on both sides. He saw Li Xian pressing Meng Huo in quickly and kneeling on one knee: "Tell the Prime Minister that I have captured Meng Huo alive. I will let the Prime Minister do what he wants."
When Zhuge Liang saw Meng Huo again, he was also shocked. He secretly thought that the two armies would be in a stalemate for a long time, and he would use the ambush camera to achieve victory, but he didn't know that Meng Huo was so unprepared that he was captured. In a blink of an eye, he looked at Li Xian, immediately stood up and helped him up, and said, "General Li is so powerful. Why did he defeat the swordsman in such a short period of time? Capture Meng Huo?"
Li Xian informed him in detail about the vine-armored cavalry. Zhuge Liang nodded, then frowned and praised a few words, then rewarded him with some cloth, wine and meat, and in a blink of an eye he looked at Meng Huo, who was tied to the ground and covered in colorful decorations.
"King Meng Huo, who were you hurt by?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.
"It's him! He doesn't respect martial ethics!" Meng Huo faced Li Xian.
"Then you are still not convinced?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
"I'm not convinced, I want to challenge him to a duel!" Meng Huo shouted.
"Will you accept it if I win? Then will you resist?" Li Xian then said to Meng Huo who was on the ground.
"I will be convinced if you can defeat me in a single fight! But now that I'm injured, it's not fair!" Meng Huo still kept shouting.
"Then what do you want to do? Let you go back?" Zhuge Liang then asked.
"I'm talking about Meng Huo, the prime minister has let you go several times. You are a king, do you want to lose face?" Wei Yan in the tent couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately said to Meng Huo's face.
"Hey! Chief Wen, I am a barbarian king after all, how can I be so rude?"
"Prime Minister, it's your business to let him go. I won't let him go!" Wei Yan angrily threw away his sleeves and left the camp gate. He kicked his helmet on the ground and flew several feet away in an instant.
"Prime Minister, I am not dissatisfied with you, but I am really dissatisfied with this boy. If you let me go back to the cave, and when I recover from my injuries, I will lead my troops to surrender. This is true," Meng Huo said.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly, and he had some calculations in his heart, and said: "Today, I will be the master for once. Now that you have seen the attitude of our soldiers, if you really have this intention, I will let you go."
"Please also ask the Prime Minister to release my brother-in-law."
"Let them go." Zhuge Liang smiled softly.
Li Xian also found it funny at the moment. This grandson never told a lie. If he left Zhu Rong and Meng You here, his words would still be credible. If he asked these two people to leave, it would not be like slapping himself. Well, he stopped talking and let Zhuge Liang handle it.
