"Oops!" Looking at the billowing smoke, Lu Su screamed, but his face was full of regret, and he immediately slapped himself in the face. Lu Su's actions also made Zhang Ren
He couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't understand what Lu Su was doing. Lu Su looked in the direction of Xiying with a complex and annoyed face, smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "It's in vain that I usually pride myself on being so wise. I didn't expect that he could even be so simple."
I didn’t even think of a way to deal with it! Alas! I have failed the Lord’s trust!”
Now Zhang Ren became more and more confused and asked quickly: "Master Lu, is there something wrong?"
Lu Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "No! You're not wrong, it's me, it's me! Beasts are afraid of fire, I didn't even think of such simple common sense! In fact, there is no need to fight these beasts head-on.
As long as a fire is lit, those beasts will naturally not dare to come forward! Oops! I didn't even think of such a simple method, causing the soldiers to sacrifice themselves!" As he spoke, Lu Su beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking very regretful.
When Lu Su said this, Zhang Ren immediately understood, yes! Beasts are afraid of fire, that's their nature! As long as a fire is lit in front of the camp, no matter how the Mulu people drive them, the beasts will not dare to come forward!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ren also wanted to slap himself! Obviously, Wu Yi in Xiying used this method to resist the beast army. He worked hard and sacrificed so many soldiers, but it was not as easy as that in Xiying.
The two of them were annoyed for a while, but in the end they could only shake their heads helplessly. Zhang Ren said: "Master Lu, the matter has come to this, it is useless for us to think about it any more. Are we going to do it next?"
Or should we return to the city?"
Now that there is a way to easily resist the attack of wild beasts, there seems to be no need to rush back to the city. This time the plan to leave the city went so smoothly, Zhang Ren was a little unwilling to give up like this. Lu Su lowered his head and thought.
After a moment, he finally shook his head and said: "No! We still have to retreat to the city! Not only us, but someone will send an order to General Wu Yi later to ask the soldiers of the Western Camp to retreat too!"
"Uh!" Lu Su's answer made Zhang Ren stunned again. He didn't understand Lu Su's intention at all.
Seeing Zhang Ren's expression, Lu Su also knew Zhang Ren's doubts, and quickly explained: "Even without the threat of the Mulu clan, we would not be able to stay here for a long time. Just now the Mulu clan launched an attack, but the city was full of chaos.
There is no movement at all. This will definitely arouse Meng Huo's suspicion. I'm afraid our plan can't be kept secret for long! It's better to retreat to the city while Meng Huo is still doubtful. With the city wall as a support, we can delay it a little longer.
time!"
After Lu Su explained this, Zhang Ren also understood. Although he was still a little unwilling, he did not dare to delay. He immediately clasped his fists in salute to Lu Su and shouted: "I understand, Mr. Lu! Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will be the final one."
mission accomplished!"
Lu Su was still very relieved about Zhang Ren's ability. He nodded and turned his head to look north. A trace of eagerness and expectation flashed in his eyes: I don't know when the lord's reinforcements will arrive!
At the same time, in the barracks of the Southern Barbarians, in addition to Meng Huo and his group, there was another strong man with a bald head. This strong man had a gloomy face, was shirtless, and was covered with blood all over his body.
It was covered with colorful patterns, with a pair of fist-sized rings hanging from the earlobes, and a pair of inverted triangular eyes staring out, looking very vicious. This man was the current leader of the Mulu clan, known as King Mulu.
King Mulu and Meng Huo's brother-in-law are good friends. In addition, the Zhurong clan and the Mulu clan have been close friends for generations. This time, King Mulu came with the beasts from his clan in response to the invitation.
Assistance. Originally, King Mulu also wanted to show off the strength of the Mulu clan in front of Meng Huo, the Southern Barbarian King. He never thought that the first battle of the Mulu clan ended in failure. These were the things that made King Mulu
His face became a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the people around him saw King Mulu's appearance and quickly comforted him. This made King Mulu's face look better. King Mulu immediately stood up, clasped his fists at Meng Huo and shouted: "Your Majesty! This time
My people are just testing it out! Wait until tomorrow, and I will let all my people lead the beasts to attack with all their strength! I will defeat the two Han camps for you!" King Mulu is not bragging, as long as Mu Lu
The deer clan used all their strength to break through the two camps, which was effortless.
Meng Huo didn't take King Mulu's request seriously. He just waved his hand casually without saying anything. However, he frowned and lowered his head in thought. Meng Huo's appearance made King Mulu surprised.
He was very angry, thinking that Meng Huo looked down on their Mulu clan, so he immediately shouted: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, there is no need to wait until tomorrow! It's just two Han camps. I will take those two camps today."
The camp is captured!" As he said that, King Mulu turned around and walked directly outside the tent.
Seeing King Mulu's angry look, he quickly grabbed King Mulu and tried to dissuade him. The Mulu clan had just failed to attack the camp and their morale was low. This was not a good time to fight.
If they can't attack it, then the Mulu clan will definitely suffer great losses. The Zhurong clan has a close relationship with the Mulu clan, so they don't want to see the Mulu clan suffer any great losses.
"Ah! I understand!" Just as he was bringing Meng You to persuade King Mulu, Meng Huo, who had been meditating on something before, suddenly shouted and jumped up from his seat with a look on his face.
A look of sudden enlightenment.
Meng Huo's sudden voice shocked several other people in the tent. Everyone stared at Meng Huo with wide eyes, even King Mulu who had been yelling to leave.
Exception. Meng You saw Meng Huo spinning around anxiously next to his seat, and couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, what's going on? What do you understand?"
Meng Huo didn't care what the people around him thought of him, but he fisted his fist in annoyance and groaned: "Fell into the trap! Failed into the trap! Damn! We have fallen into the Han's trick from the very beginning! This Han really did
That’s cunning!”
Seeing Meng Huo's appearance, everyone in the tent was confused and didn't understand what was going on. Fortunately, Meng Huo only turned around like this for a few times, and soon regained his composure, saying in a deep voice
The crowd shouted: "Send the order to my general, gather all the troops and horses, and attack Zhuti City immediately!"
"Uh!" Meng Huo's order made everyone stunned again. They were anxious to understand that Meng Huo had given the order before, so that the soldiers were not allowed to attack at will, especially not to attack Zhuti City, lest they be attacked by the Han people.
But why did he suddenly give the order to attack Zhuti City now? Isn't Meng Huo afraid of the military camps on both sides of Zhuti City?
When he raised his head and saw the confused looks of everyone, Meng Huo suddenly remembered that he had issued two completely opposite orders, and couldn't help but blush. But soon Meng Huo came back to his senses and said to everyone: "We have all done this before.
We have fallen into the trap of the Han people! In fact, the Han people have no reinforcements at all! Everything is just a trick of the Han people!"
"There are no reinforcements?" Everyone was even more confused. Didn't Meng Huo give everyone a very reasonable analysis before? Jin Huan Sanjie, who was most loyal to Meng Huo, quickly stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, didn't you say before?
, it is precisely because the Han people sent two troops to camp outside the city, does it mean that the Han reinforcements have arrived? If we attack Zhuti City at this time, the Han soldiers and horses on both sides will definitely come to the rescue. Then we can
We can no longer care about each other!"
Meng Huo's cheeks turned red again. What Jin Huan Sanjie said was what Meng Huo said to them before. Meng Huo relied on these words to convince everyone last time, but he didn't expect that now he would be
Jie Lai asked himself. If Jinhuan Sanjie hadn't been loyal to him, I'm afraid Meng Huo would have been murderous towards Jinhuan Sanjie now! Meng Huo held back a breath and snorted viciously: "That was before.
I was confused by the tricks of the Han people! If my guess is correct, there are no defenders in Zhuti City at this moment. It is just the Han people who are posturing and want to delay time! Okay! We will talk about the next thing later.
!Third brother! Bring it! You should immediately lead the troops to attack Zhuti City, or something will happen later!"
Originally, Meng Huo would usually leave this kind of task to Jinhuan Sanjie, but just now Jinhuan Sanjie got into trouble, which made Meng Huo a little bit unable to step down. Meng Huo was too lazy to let this bastard meritorious service, and gave this opportunity to
He killed his brother-in-law and younger brother.
Since Meng Huo had already given the order, Meng Youhe did not dare to delay. They first sent all King Mulu back, then they clasped their fists at Meng Huo and shouted, turned around and left the tent to carry out the order.
Meng Huo entrusted them with the order.
But at this moment, another shout came from outside the tent, and a barbarian soldier quickly ran outside the tent, knelt down directly to Meng Huo, and shouted to Meng Huo:
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is movement among the soldiers and horses in the Han camp! Those Han troops have abandoned the camp and are rushing towards Zhuti City. Their posture seems to be returning to Zhuti City!"
Hearing the report of the barbarian soldier, Meng Huo's eyes twitched, and several other people in the tent also looked surprised. In the past few days of testing, the Han people had the upper hand. Logically speaking, they should not
Just withdraw it! Everyone turned their attention to Meng Huo again, waiting for Meng Huo's answer. Meng Huo sighed deeply, his face became more and more ugly, and he hummed: "Forget it, third brother!
Bring it! You don’t have to go, the other party has already noticed and is about to retreat! We are too late!"
