Chapter 855: The Crisis of the Southern Barbarians
On the battlefield where the Shu Han army ambushed, Guan Yu took away his sword and corpses were everywhere on the battlefield.
Meng Ba's tribal army was defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Because Qin Liangyu repeatedly defeated the Shu Han army in the mountains and forests, the Southern Barbarian tribe underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Shu Han army and underestimated the abilities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
As long as you meet a suitable military advisor, you can fully utilize Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's abilities.
Correspondingly, if Liu Bei did not have a suitable military advisor, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the results he achieved might not have been so great.
They need a military advisor to create fighter jets and then use their force to achieve results.
"The tribes of the Southern Barbarians, but Er's only troubles are Qin Liangyu, and Wang Zhongsi who arrived from the Western Regions Protectorate."
Guan Yu killed more than ten large and small military generals from the Southern Barbarian tribes in this battle, and once again shocked Nanzhong.
In Meng Ba's tribe, more than 7,000 Southern Barbarians died in battle, and all the rest of them fled.
The soldiers of other tribes also died or fled.
"This time, the second and third brothers made military achievements. Even as generals, no one would think that the eldest brother was partial."
Liu Bei and a group of generals arrived. Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made great contributions, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's position in Liu Bei's power is extremely strong, and they also need military merits to support them, otherwise other martial arts will have complaints.
"Brother, we are less than a hundred miles away from Dianchi Lake. Even if there are mountains and forests blocking it, it will only take two or three days. My second brother and I will seize Dianchi Lake and help our elder brother achieve great achievements."
Zhang Fei was satisfied with the battle here, and swept away the haze of being attacked by Qin Liangyu, and his confidence rose sharply. He wanted to capture Dianchi Lake and completely pacify the Southern Barbarians.
Mu Ke has been operating in Dianchi Lake for many years, and many free players live in this city, with a population of millions, which is also Mu Ke’s most important main city.
Once the main city is captured, Mu Ke's power will definitely collapse unless Mu Ke wants to continue to resist in the mountains and forests.
"Mu Ke is an alien. She has a way out, so after losing the main city, she will definitely not risk her life to continue fighting. Just capture the main city."
As Yi Ren's military advisor Chen Xi, he has quite accurate judgment on Mu Ke's decisions.
Mu Ke and the Western Regions Protectorate and Xiacheng are two places. It is impossible for them to lead the remaining soldiers and defeated generals to flee to the barren mountains and continue to fight after losing the main city.
Unless there is a deep hatred among players, they will not be able to do that.
"So, we only need to capture Dianchi Lake, and the Southern Barbarian tribes will at least surrender to us on the surface."
Wang Meng also realized that for most lords, the fall of the main city basically lost its fighting spirit and fled to other places.
The hatred of destroying a country will cause a civilized lord to rebel repeatedly.
Liu Bei's army swept the battlefield and continued to march towards Dianchi Lake.
The battle to pacify the Southern Barbarians lasted for three months and was unbearable. Only then did Liu Bei's army see hope of pacifying the Southern Barbarians.
Ashin Ser of the Shu Han Army pursued Meng Ba's tribal army, Qin Liangyu led the Baigang soldiers and Wudang Flying Army to meet Meng Ba and Yong Kai. Ashin Ser's Turkic cavalry lacked combat effectiveness in the mountains and forests, and may not be the opponent of the Baigang soldiers and Wudang Flying Army, so he retreated.
Meng Ba and Yong Kai were injured in the war. When they saw Qin Liangyu again, they felt ashamed.
If they win, they can still seek credit from Qin Liangyu, but being defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, losing troops and losing generals will instead affect Mu Ke's deployment.
Qin Liangyu still felt a headache and didn't pay much attention to Meng Ba and Yong Kai.
The generals of the Southern Barbarians were not very reliable.
During the expedition to the Western Regions and the Battle of Youzhou, the enemies they faced were even stronger, so Qin Liangyu didn't have to worry about his teammates, because they were all first-class or second-rate generals who cooperated with him at that time, and they were not on the same level as Meng Ba and Yong Kai.
The army of the Southern Barbarian tribes lost tens of thousands of people in total, and the remaining Southern Barbarian soldiers were dejected.
The young Meng Huo sat on the back of a war elephant. Seeing that the tribe members were depressed and returned in a defeat, he couldn't help but remain silent.
During the Southern Barbarians, the reckless leaders of various tribes failed many times and were cheated by Wang Meng.
It is estimated that when Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, these leaders suffered many sufferings.
A girl wrapped in a beast skirt was crying. Qin Liangyu walked over and threw inquiring eyes at the generals of the tribe.
The generals of the tribe had a low expression: "Our patriarch was killed, she is the patriarch's daughter."
Qin Liangyu picked up the girl: "What's your name?"
"Zhu Rong..."
"You can follow your sister in the future."
Qin Liangyu temporarily adopted Zhurong after the tribe's patriarch was killed.
"General Qin, what should we do?"
When Yong Kai was disappointed in his defeat, he had to ask Qin Liangyu for help.
"I can block the Shu Han army, maybe I can buy time and give the prefect time to make adjustments."
Qin Liangyu knew that he could not rely on Meng Ba, Yong Kai and others, and could only support the overall situation alone.
As long as Wudang Flying Army appears in the mountains and forests, the speed of the Shu Han Army will definitely be affected.
In Dianchi City, Mu Ke looked to the north.
Liu Bei's army went south, swept away all tribes, collected food and grass, and fought steadily all the way, less than a hundred miles away from Dianchi Lake.
If this place is a plain, the cavalry can reach it within one day.
"There is not very peaceful in Central Asia. Ogedei entered the Indus River Basin and planned to rebuild the Mongol Empire, merged the four major civilizations of the Seyrjuk Empire, the Khwarezm Kingdom, the Kushan Empire, the Ilikhan Kingdom, and the Delhi City occupied by Timur to form a great empire across Central Asia, South Asia and West Asia. Ogedei and others were in water in other places except East Asia."
Huoan was no longer so concerned about the affairs of the Southern Barbarians, and he was even more worried about the safety of the Western Regions Protectorate.
The Battle of the Southern Barbarians was ultimately a dispute among the princes of the Han Empire. Ogedei's strong rise gave Huo An a sense of uneasiness.
The years of experience in charge of the Western Regions Protectorate has given Huoan an extraordinary understanding of the situation in Central Asia.
In fact, without the support of the Central Plains, the expansion of the military front of the Western Regions Protectorate to the Dayuan Kingdom was already the limit of the Western Regions Protectorate.
"Are we going to give up the Southern Barbarian Tribe? This is the territory I finally captured, and it would be a pity to give it to Liu Bei like this."
Mu Ke looked down at the millions of people in the city and was a little reluctant to leave.
She has run the city for ten years.
"Of course we can't give up this place so quickly, at least we have to wait until Chu Zi wants to pacify Liaodong. In addition, even if we lose to Liu Bei in the end, we will have to leave some hidden dangers. At that time, as long as you want to retake the Southern Barbarians, it will only be in the blink of an eye."
"You mean to use the tribes of the Southern Barbarians..."
"Yes. A war broke out between the Southern Barbarian tribe and Liu Bei's forces. Many tribes have divorced their wives and children, so they must have a grudge. Even if Liu Bei occupied the Nanzhong area, it would not be peaceful in a short time. At the right time, you will send a message to each tribe, and Liu Bei will still be in a hurry..."
Huoan has been competing with Central Asian civilization for a long time, so his experience is richer than Mu Ke.
Sometimes, even if you occupy the other party's territory, you may not be able to feel at ease.
It is more difficult to govern the world than to conquer the world.
In Liucheng, western Liaoning, the various Ming troops retreated from Guzhu City, as well as many troops from many tribes in Liaodong gathered here.
Liucheng has a teleportation array, and it can escape back to Liaodong from this city.
"Liaodong is the most important place for our army, and we can make a comeback. You and others stationed troops in Liucheng and complement each other with Liaodong. When the Xia army attacked one of them, the other troops would be cut off from their food routes. If the Xia army divided into two groups at the same time, they would defend the city and wait for the Xia army to have all the food and grass, and they would retreat."
At this time, Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, still had a clear understanding of the situation.
Liucheng and Liaodong city are all solid fortresses. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to divide the troops into two groups and capture two solid cities at the same time.
"You will personally decide on the matter of Murong Ba, Murong Ke, and Liucheng. I will summon troops from the Goryeo, Goguryeo, and Fuyu Kingdom to gather in Liaodong City to lure the enemy into the depths, and you can still fight."
Mingguan's face was solemn.
The winning rate of the Liaodong forces is less than 10%, but he still wants to turn the tide.
For the sake of the present, leading the Xia army to the distant Liaodong City and Liucheng, and extending the supply line of the Xia army may be the only way to break the deadlock.
Some generals were either dead or captured, and Mingguan had to reuse the ambitious Murong Ke and Murong Ba brothers stationed in Liucheng, with Murong Ke and Murong Ba, the soldiers of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes.
The Duan Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and the Wuhuan people who had the same language and customs as the Xianbei people came to the command of the Murong brothers.
Many generals at Mingguan were injured, their strength declined, and their military power gradually fell.
Only by distributing part of the power to Murong Ke can the Murong tribe work hard to protect its power.
"Murong Xianbei... this leader actually wanted to obey their orders."
Yuwen Yidougui, the leader of the Yuwen tribe, frowned at this time.
Almost all the senior officials of the Duan Xianbei died in Zhou Yafu. Under the sword of Li Guang's army, the Yuwen tribe suffered heavy losses, with only Yuwen Tai, a legendary general.
In comparison, the Murong Xianbei had two legendary generals, Murong Ke, Murong Ba, and Murong Lin, who were completely above the two tribes.
"Brother, although the Ming King handed over all the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry in Liucheng to our commander, the Xia army is coming in full force and may be difficult to defend Liucheng."
After leaving Mingguan, Murong Ba said to Murong Ke with concern.
The entire army of iron horses was wiped out, and the Longcheng Iron Cavalry suffered most of the losses. Even if they were re-recruited, it would take two or three months. Moreover, the high-level troops recruited were new soldiers, and their combat power would be greatly reduced compared to those of the army of hundreds of battles.
"Waring the Xia army head-on will most likely fail. You can only defend the city and recruit new recruits in the city, and give priority to recruiting high-level troops. If the situation in the world changes and the time comes, and the new recruits are recruited and the troops can be replenished, then there may be a chance."
Murong Ke hopes for changes in the world, such as a meteorite falling from the sky, hitting Chu Tian, or something...
