772 disagreements
Meng Huo, Mulu King, Guidong Master and others were standing on the high slope to watch the battle. The rebels rushed forward one after another according to Meng Huo's arrangement, but the defense of the Han army was very tight. In addition to the arrows released from the military camp, dense caltrops were also sprinkled on the ground outside the camp. The rebels rushed over and did not pay attention. The soles of their feet were pierced by the caltrops one after another. The pain made them sit on the ground with their feet holding each other and screaming, but were shot by the arrows coming towards them. They were either seriously injured or died. In short, they could not get close to the Han army's camp within thirty steps...
Seeing this situation, Meng Huo couldn't help it anymore and looked a little furious. The Mulu King beside him seemed to be watching a joke, sneering from time to time, and said sarcastically: "Look, I said early in the morning that this way of fighting is undoubtedly to make people commit suicide. Not only did it not lure the enemy, but he suffered heavy losses!"
The master of the cave heard what was meant by this and suddenly felt something was wrong. He hurriedly hit the Mulu King with his elbow, and winked at the Mulu King, and shook his head, indicating that he should not say anything more.
But the Mulu King was like a wood, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the Lord of the Cave. He was hit by the Lord of the Cave for no reason, but instead became even more angry. He turned his head and shouted at the Lord of the Cave, "What does it mean to hit me?"
After hearing this, the master of the cave was also frustrated. The Mulu King was too real. He was angry and annoyed and said to the Mulu King: "You say less, no one will regard you as a mute."
The Mulu King said: "I am not a mute at first, so why do I have to say a few less words? My mouth is on my face. I want to say a few words. Just say a few words. You can care!"
"You..." The Lord of the Cave was also angry because of the Mulu King. He pointed at the Mulu King, and his face looked even more resentful. However, when he thought of the overall situation, he still endured this tone.
The Lord of the Cave is Meng Huo's wife's brother. The Mulu King is the friend of the Lord of the Cave. The Lord of the Mulu King also attracted the Lord of the Cave in this matter. If the Lord of the Cave is divided according to the region, the Lord of the Cave belongs to Jiaozhou and is only a neighbor with Nanzhong, and is not considered a native of Nanzhong. If there is any trouble in Nanzhong, he can help or not. However, due to the Lord of the Cave, he led the crowd to meet up and discuss the plan together.
However, when King Mulu arrived at Ailao Mountain, he realized that he was not taken seriously by anyone. They only had Meng Huo in their eyes. He was not even considered a No. 2 person, and he didn't even miss him. This caused a huge gap in King Mulu's heart. After all, he was a king, how could he be treated like this?
But since he came, King Mulu had no plans to leave again. He was planning to let these people in Nanzhong see how powerful he was in front of them, so that he could intimidate King Mulu and not be underestimated.
Because of this, the Mulu King has been trying to find an opportunity to show off, and today is just an opportunity.
Meng Huo kept frowning, seeing that his army could not break through the enemy's defense at all. Whether it was the front battalion, the left and right wings, or even the back battalion, the defense power was very strong, and the Southern Central rebels under his command could not take any advantage.
This makes Meng Huo difficult to solve. He couldn't help but ask himself, was it caused by his command mistake?
Just as Meng Huo was in deep thought, the Lord of the Guidong behind him and the Mulu King had a quarrel, and suddenly pulled him back to reality. He turned his face and shouted at the Lord of the Guidong behind him and the King of the Mulu King: "Why are you quarreling?"
The owner of the cave was very afraid of Meng Huo. As soon as Meng Huo spoke, he became depressed, drooped his head and stopped talking. But the Mulu King was different. He always regarded himself as a king. Meng Huo shouted at him like this and drank. He couldn't bear so much pressure in his heart and directly retorted: "What do we say about us?"
"I am the king, you are my subordinates. Do you think it is related to my business?" Meng Huo was upset. When King Mulu was confronted like this, he immediately became angry and shouted loudly.
"Please pay attention to what you said. You are the king, and I am also the king..." At this point, King Mulu pointed at the cave master with his finger and continued to say to Meng Huo, "He is your subordinate, I am not! Please pay attention to your attitude and don't mess it up!"
Meng Huo glanced at the cave master and said, "This is the person you recommend, what kind of witchcraft and what kind of force are extraordinary. In my opinion, he is just a wild man who can talk. What kind of king is just a cave master in a small cave, and he dares to call himself a king in front of me? He is simply shameless!"
"Swish!"
A crisp sound rang out like a harsh sound. King Mulu had already added a scimitar in his hand. The shaky blade was facing Meng Huo, and his eyes were staring at Meng Huo with great urgency, and shouted: "Who do you say that you are shameless! Do you dare to say it again?"
At this moment, the people around Meng Huo pulled out their weapons and all pointed at the Mulu King. The only thing that brought the cave master showed a look of dismay on his face, and hurriedly said to the Mulu King: "What are you doing? You are all your own people, and don't be impulsive!"
King Mulu is not a fool. He is surrounded by Meng Huo's people, and he is the only one who can't beat them at all. As the saying goes, the hero does not suffer any loss. King Mulu looked around and saw that he had no chance of winning, so he simply took the scimitar back into the scabbard, then turned his horse's head, snorted coldly, and shouted at Meng Huo's guards: "Do it all for me!"
Everyone heard Meng Huo alone and they looked over to Meng Huo. Meng Huo saw that the Lord of the Cave was winking at him again, so he waved his hand to everyone, but said nothing.
Meng Huo's guards took back their weapons one after another, scattered all of them on both sides, leaving the middle way for King Mulu to leave.
King Mulu snorted coldly, leaving behind a lot of dissatisfaction and regret, and rode down the high slope and drove towards the distance.
"King, Mulu King..." The master of the cave also felt a little uncomfortable on his face, and hurriedly said to Meng Huo.
Meng Huo raised his hand and stopped what the master of the cave was about to say, and said slowly: "You invited the person. I will leave his affairs to you. I don't want to have a second time. Otherwise, no matter who the person is, everyone must be punished!"
"Thank you, the king!" said the master of the cave with great gratitude.
Meng Huo did not say anything more, but turned his attention to the battlefield. However, the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic. Four or five waves of rebels had attacked each other, but they were suppressed by the powerful arrow formation of the Han army. No one dared to approach, and the people charging ahead fell in a pool of blood, and some people had already developed the desire to retreat.
When Meng Huo saw this, he could no longer sit still. Regardless of whether he was willing to admit it or not, what Mulu King said made sense. Their charge method was simply suicide.
"It seems that from the beginning, I was wrong. We underestimated the capabilities of the Han army too much." Meng Huo finally couldn't help laughing and said to himself.
After saying that, Meng Huo turned around and said to the master of the cave, "Send orders to change the combat method, order the entire army to assault, and give the Han army a fierce attack!"
"Here!"
The Lord of the Guidong received the order, turned around and went down the hillside to send the order.
At this time, Meng Huo was left on the hillside with fifty guards, and a mysterious cavalry unit was approaching here step by step from behind, but they were completely unaware of it.
At this moment, half an hour had passed since the two armies started a war. In half an hour, the Han army and the rebels fought fiercely. However, due to the strict defense of the Han army and the strong arrow formation, the rebels could not rush to the Han army camp within thirty steps, so that the two armies fell into a confrontation stage, without close contact, only competitions on bows and arrows.
In the Han army's camp, soldiers used stair bows with a long range of about 80 steps, and a powerful crossbow with a fifty step range as supplemented by a network of arrows intertwined secrets, which tightly defended the Han army's camp, preventing the rebels from breaking through the thirty-step death line.
Although there are many archers in the rebel camp, the attack and combat plan formulated is not good, and the archers are too scattered and are always in a passive situation of being beaten, and they are unable to compete with the Han army in the barracks, so they have been suppressed by the Han army.
In half an hour, the Han army smashed the rebels' three powerful attacks in a row, causing heavy losses to the rebels, morale was frustrated, and their potential was even less.
After Meng Huo revised the combat plan, the army led by the Lord of the Guidong himself began to rush towards the Han army camp in the most intensive way after a short rest.
This time, Meng Huo invested 60,000 people in one go, four directions in the southeast, west and north, each direction, and they were all tribal archers who were good at archery. He hoped to use this opportunity to suppress the Han army's arrow formation. Then those rebel soldiers who had been preparing for a long time could swarm up and even if they did not flatten the Han army camp, they would be greatly damaged.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."
The rebels' war drums were already ringing. Meng Huo stood on the high slope and looked at the entire battlefield. He suddenly saw a large number of people rushing out of black from all directions, rushing towards the Han army camp, like a layer of fierce waves, slamming towards the Han army camp. He was very excited and hoped that this time would be successful.
But just as the rebels launched the second large-scale attack, the 800 escort cavalry led by Zhang Liao suddenly came out from behind Meng Huo. Zhang Liao took the lead, led by the soldiers, holding a spear, charged in the front, and rushed directly to the hundreds of Meng Huo's personal guards guarding the hillside.
Zhang Liao and others came too suddenly and very quickly. With a "boom", without waiting for Meng Huo's personal guards below the high slope to react, they were like a sharp knife and immediately divided the people into two.
Zhang Liao was extremely brave. He held an iron spear and stabbed several rebel soldiers in front of him in a row. He looked up and saw Meng Huo standing on the high slope. Cold lights appeared in his tiger eyes. With a loud shout, he rushed towards Meng Huo on the high slope. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
