"Prime Minister, that guy Meng Huo is here again!"
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan to signal the soldiers to retreat. Then he looked at the generals in the tent and asked, "Do you have any strategy for retreating from the enemy?"
But seeing Zhao Yun, who was already graying in hair and beard, he stepped out and said, "Prime Minister, I would like to be the vanguard to capture Meng Huo!"
"Old general, what's the use of capturing him? I'm not going to let him go to the prime minister. In my opinion, it's better to go back to Chengdu early and recruit some barbarian." The person who spoke was Wei Yan, who was obviously responding to Zhuge Liang last time. Even after Meng Huo was released, he still felt resentful and made a noise here.
Zhuge Liang then said: "Chang Wen! What we want for the southern expedition is for the barbarians to be convinced, so that we can stabilize the rear and make our army have no worries in the northern expedition. We must not ruin the plans of the family and the country because of personal grudges!"
Only then did Wei Yan calm down. When Zhuge Liang saw that Wei Yan was speechless, he said: "General Zilong, you are not as brave as you were back then. Yesterday I found out the news that Meng Huo asked King Mulu to borrow more than 10,000 ferocious beast soldiers. Today in front of the battle Wait and see, the troops in front are all poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, general, be careful." He was about to hand over the order.
Obviously Zhuge Liang knew what Zhao Yun was thinking. His disciples had already captured Meng Huo with their own hands. How could he fall into a disadvantage and make people feel inferior to his disciples? Therefore, even though Zhao Yun's beard and hair were gray, he still wanted to fight.
In front of the formation of the two armies, Zhao Yun stood on horseback and raised his gun. The armor that had been shining brightly behind him was particularly dazzling under the sun. Maybe this is the origin of the Mingguang Armor. Looking at the enemy formation, the Chinese army was the most prominent, with ten elephants. Standing upright like a giant, there are countless tigers, leopards and wolves in front of them, and among them there is a man riding a tiger, holding a three-foot-long heavy ax in one hand, and a white wooden pole in the other hand. The copper bells rustle when the wind blows, which coincides with the sound of the herd of beasts.
Obviously they can't fight. Li Xian saw clearly in the tent that this battle should not be fought in any case. If they attack rashly, not only the three thousand Mingguang Armors will not be saved, but the three thousand soldiers will also be sent here.
"Are you Li Xian?" King Mulu asked as he rode a tiger out of the battle.
Zhao Yun sneered: "That's my disciple. Do you want to fight in front of the battle?"
King Mulu shook his head: "If we have to fight in front of the battle, I will take Li Xianxiang's head and offer it to my lord!"
"If you don't fight, what are you talking about? Look at the gun!" Zhao Yun was about to draw his gun and stab him, but he heard a tiger's roar from King Mulu's crotch. Even though Zhao Yun's horse was considered a good horse, he hesitated and did not dare to hear the tiger's roar. Stepping forward, King Mulu retreated into the formation at the right moment and began to command the herd.
After all, except for Zhao Yun who showed no fear when seeing these scenes, the three thousand sergeants behind him seemed a little frightened. If Zhao Yun hadn't always had strict military orders, he might not have been able to coordinate his movements at this time.
But I heard a shout from inside the camp: "Master Wuyou, my disciple has a way to defeat the enemy! Master, please set up a shield array!"
Zhao Yun looked back after hearing this, and saw Li Xian leading his two thousand divine arm archers from the tent. He was surprised to find that these divine arm archers had changed their quivers.
"Form up!" Zhao Yun shouted fiercely and immediately ordered: "The shield soldiers are in front! Protect the archers!"
Li Xian immediately led the archers in the tent, stood behind the shield soldiers, and asked Gong Jie to raise the flag with the word "Li", and at the same time ordered: "Pull!" After hearing the order, all the archers fired their arrows but did not draw them.
"put!"
With this order, in an instant, a rain of arrows rushed from the sky, shooting straight into the herd of beasts. King Mulu looked at the rain of arrows and was unambiguous. He immediately shook the copper bell. The beasts seemed to have smelled food. Just about to fly up.
The two armies were about to confront each other, but they saw that the originally ferocious tiger and leopard herds began to fall to the ground and twitch in pieces when they were still a few steps away from the shield soldiers. However, some strong tigers were able to get up, and they were also overwhelmed by this. The shield soldiers in the front row were blocked, and the originally open Lushui wilderness turned into a graveyard of beasts.
"It's a poisonous arrow!" King Mulu knew something was wrong, but he could no longer retreat at this time. Under such a poisonous arrow, King Menghuo's elephant army was behind him. If he retreated, these beasts would not be able to kill him. If you pinch them, once the herd falls into chaos, it will be out of control.
Li Xian could see clearly in the formation. He drew the long bow from his waist, casually took out an arrow from the soldier's quiver, filled the bowstring, and shot it at King Mulu who was thinking, but he heard a whoosh. Before King Mulu could react, he was hit by an arrow in his left arm. In the blink of an eye, there was another muffled sound in his chest. When he looked again, he saw that the green arrow had penetrated the chest armor, and half of the one-inch long arrow had penetrated into his chest. , while looking in the direction, he still saw a general with gray hair and beard who had just put down the long bow in his hand. Before he could shout, his vision went dark, his face began to twitch, and every muscle in his body began to vibrate uncontrollably. The ground twitched, and then bursts of foam began to spit out from the corners of his mouth, and he slowly fell under his mount...
"Brother, the former army has been defeated." Meng Yuu could see clearly from above the elephant, "Why don't you escape? When we return to Yinkeng Cave, we can still ask Ugo for help. The Wu Tu Gu guy has some friendship with brother. , should be able to help us.”
"Escape? Where can you escape! That guy in Wu Tu Gu has rebelled a long time ago. I still have so many elephants here. Even if King Chu Ba comes today, I am not afraid of him. The whole army obeys the order and all the elephant soldiers charge together. ! Go straight to Zhuge Liang's main camp! I will capture Zhuge Liang alive today and show you how powerful I am!" Meng Huo shouted angrily again. He was about to raise his arm to greet him, but was pulled away by the wound that hadn't healed last time. Immediately, he felt a little unbearable pain, so he suppressed the pain and charged forward with both axes in his hands.
Such a rare riverside wilderness has become the biggest advantage of the elephant soldiers. The ground was shaking for a while, and so many behemoths seemed to be overwhelming.
"Stop!" Li Xian raised his spear to stop the soldiers who were about to shoot the next round of arrows, and then ordered: "Disperse!"
For a moment, the shield soldiers and archers separated on both sides, leaving a huge gap in the formation. Then Li Xian ordered again: "Down!" The original soldiers of Zhao Yun's headquarters made way to let the divine arm archers behind them take the bags. The kerosene prepared by Zhongyuan was poured on the ground, forming straight lines. He knew that no less than a dozen kerosene lines had been formed in the gaps in the military formation.
"Burn!" Li Xian shouted again, and then the sergeant started to ignite the fire line. In an instant, the gap between the two armies formed a huge wall of fire. It was summer again, and the vegetation was flammable, and it spread instantly. In an instant, thick smoke billowed into the air. It was obvious that fear of fire was the nature of wild beasts. In an instant, the charging elephants stopped on their own when they saw the fire. No matter how Meng Huo and others urged the elephants on their crotches, the elephants stopped. They just cowered, and some even started to get angry and throw the soldiers down.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, gradually burning towards his own army, these elephants, no matter whose soldiers they were, started to run against the army formation, trampling their own army to pieces in a moment.
"Your Majesty, run away quickly. If the fire comes, we won't have time to run!" Meng You quickly grabbed the reins where Meng Huo had just stopped.
Meng Huo looked at the dozens of elephants sweeping in front of him and the sky full of fire behind him. His anger that was originally overwhelming turned into nothing at this moment. There was only deep fear in his eyes. If the last elephant soldier didn't If it works, Meng Huo really has no way to retreat. For a moment, he thought of the Tulong Cave Master who was frightened on this battlefield a few days ago. Was his actions for the good of the barbarians or was he following him wholeheartedly? Send the barbarians to the slaughterhouse? Thousands of thoughts suddenly came to him, and he stood there blankly for a moment.
"Tell the Prime Minister that Meng Huo is willing to surrender!" Meng Huo shouted loudly from his majestic elephant, and the sound echoed throughout the mountains and fields...
