Chapter 360

The Wuxi Man lived in the west and south of Wuling County. If he wanted to come to Yuan, he had to go to the Yuan River. Therefore, Liu Zong only needed to send scouts to patrol along the Yuan River, and the Wuxi Man had nowhere to hide.

Soon, Liu Jingjun's scouts found Jingman's traces dozens of miles west of Linyuan. According to visual estimates, there were nearly [-] Jingman.

Liu Zong received the report from the scouts, and immediately sent people to recruit Liu Cheng, Pan Jun, and Zhuge Liang.

Liu Cheng is his younger brother, who had studied in Wuling for two years, and Pan Jun is a native of Wuling. Liu Jing sent two people to join the army, which is reasonable. Only Zhuge Liang has nothing to do with Wuling. Not only did Liu Jing let As a military adviser, he supervised the army, and he benefited from the three thousand elite soldiers, and his salary was high, even higher than that of Pan Jun.

Liu Zong didn't have much contact with Zhuge Liang before. He felt that Zhuge Liang, a boy in his early twenties, was entrusted with the post of military adviser just because he had a good relationship with Liu Jing, and he was given an overview of military affairs. .

However, after more than a month of getting along day and night, Liu Zong has completely changed his view of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is not only excellent in strategy, but also strict in running the army, and his soldiers are obedient, and his soldiers come and go like guests. , even Liu Zong is willing to bow down.

But even though he recognized Zhuge Liang's talent, Liu Zong still rejected him.

After Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, and Liu Cheng took their seats, Liu Zong said slowly, "The scouts report that nearly ten thousand Ximan are coming towards Linyuan, and they are expected to arrive at noon tomorrow."

Pan Jun calmly said: "The reason why the Wuxi Man is difficult to control is because they live in the deep mountains and valleys, and because of the rampant miasma, it is not easy for the Han army to attack the Wuxi Man. In the past, when Ma Fubo conquered the Wuxi Man, many soldiers died, and Ma Fubo also died. Reason. Now Jingman abandons the dangerous mountains and takes the flat land, using his own weaknesses to attack my strengths, it is not difficult to break through."

Zhuge Liang said: "Wuxi barbarians are wild by nature, committing suicide before death, confronting them head-on, even if we win, we will definitely suffer damage."

Seeing that the three of them were listening carefully, Zhuge Liang continued: "There is a saying in "The Art of War": 'Use righteousness to win by odds.' Uncle Weng Shan (Ri Lian) has personally recruited more than [-] Hengshan troops to join the army this time. The Wuxi Man are of the same origin, and their costumes are slightly similar. It is better to let Shan Weng lead his troops to sneak out at night, cross the river from the lower reaches of the Yuan River, and go around to Wuxi Man. When we are fighting with Wuxi Man, Shan Uncle Weng made a surprise attack from behind, Wuxi barbarians have difficulty distinguishing the enemy from us, and if they are flanked again, they will surely be terrified and defeated, and they will be able to reap all their achievements in one battle."

"Good." Both Pan Jun and Liu Cheng couldn't help but clapped their hands in praise, "If Kong Ming's strategy is followed, this battle will surely be a complete victory."

A general can have no plans, but he can't be without decisions. Liu Zongsu has clear decisions, which is also an important reason why he can become the second person in Liu Jingjun. Although he is somewhat repelled by Zhuge Liang in his heart, it does not prevent him from accepting his words and using his tactics.

Liu Zong immediately called for Shan Riquan. After hearing the plan, Shan Riquan was overjoyed. He followed Liu Jingnan to Lingling to attack Zhangjin last year, but he didn't gain much military exploits.During this westward expedition to Wuling County, Shan Riqi knew that he would be reused, so he enlisted more than [-] soldiers.

As expected, Shan Ri clasped his fists and said, "Zhong Lang entrusted me with such an important task, I will not disappoint Zhong Lang."

Liu Zong nodded lightly and said: "Uncle Weng has martial arts talent, even a senior general in the army can't match it. I don't worry about Uncle Weng. If we defeat Wuxi barbarians, Uncle Weng will take the lead."

Then Liu Zong, Zhuge Liang and the others added some details, Shan Ri memorized them one by one, and took the order to leave.

In the middle of the night, Shan Ri ordered more than [-] troops to carry food for three days, leave the barracks and head east for a few miles, cross the Yuanshui River in the south, then turn west, and finally disappear in the vast night.

The next day, Liu Zong ordered Liu Cheng to stay in the barracks with 2000 people to monitor Linyuan. He led 1 people on foot and rode to line up in Pingshan to the west of Linyuan to stop the coming Wuxi Man.

At noon, the weather was gloomy and hot, and amidst the dust, the Wuxi barbarian army, with their hair tied up in a bun, bare feet, and colorful clothes, appeared in the field of vision of Liu Jingjun's soldiers.

Due to historical reasons, the Wuxi Man is more united than the Jing Man in other places, but it is still not unified. This time, at the request of Liu Rui, the prefect of Wuling, the Wuxi Man who came to help is composed of several tribes, led by elite men from each tribe .

Seeing that Liu Jingjun had already prepared and lined up to wait, the elites of the various tribes gathered together to discuss, some proposed to go to war immediately, and some suggested to avoid the front for a while, and they were arguing for a while.

In the end, the main fighter faction gained the upper hand. While sending people to infiltrate Linyuan to inform Liu Rui, the elites ordered their warriors to line up side by side, holding wooden poles in front and crossbows in the back, roaring forward.

"This group of dog breeds are finally willing to fight, and it has made Ergong very upset." Huang Wu, who was short and thick, with a big waist, stood in front of the battle, and spit out thick phlegm.

Chen Jin, who was eight feet tall and had a thick beard, glanced at his companion and said, "Uncle Ye, Zhonglang suppressed the generals and let you and me be the first to ascend. You must not disappoint Zhonglang."

Liu Zong let his cronies Chen Jin and Huang Wu take the lead, and he was indeed under a lot of pressure. You must know that Cai Sheng and Liu Liang are all in the army, and there are also strong generals such as Feng Xi and Gao Xiang. It is impossible for Chen Jin and Huang Wu to come Served first.

Huang Wu fixed his eyes on the Wuxi barbarians who were rushing towards him, slowly drew out the long knife at his waist, and replied, "I will fight to the death to defeat the dog breeds, so as to stop the mouths of the generals."

"Shoot..." Wuxi barbarians rushed to the front of the battle one hundred and twenty steps, and Huang Wu swung his knife and shouted loudly.

In each square formed by two thousand Xiandeng, densely packed arrows were shot immediately, and in a blink of an eye, the sights of the soldiers on both sides were all occupied by the rain of arrows.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Wuximan's bow and crossbow range was not as good as Liu Jingjun's, so he could only use the scorpion to protect himself, and it was difficult to fight back. It was not until within a hundred steps that Wuximan's formation launched a counterattack one after another.It's just that the density of arrows is far from being comparable to that of Liu Jingjun.

"Chong...quick rush...the descendants of Panhu, fearless. Kill all the dogs..."

The veterans with rich combat experience loudly urged the warriors under their command to advance quickly, because they knew very well that the bow and crossbow of the Han army were the most powerful in the world, and if they shot against the Han army, they would surely die. In order to avoid greater casualties.

Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps...

The ferocious faces of Wuxi barbarians became more and more visible. Under the command of flags and drums, Liu Jing's soldiers lined up like a wall, and tree spears formed a forest.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Like a group of mad cows, Wuxi barbarians ran into Liu Jing's phalanx one after another.

Even though Liu Jing's army was lined up in a strict formation, it was also rushed to the point of collapse by the Wuxi barbarians who were not afraid of death.Seeing this, Huang Wu's eyes were about to burst, and he rushed forward with his personal guards.

"Kill..." Huang Wu roared and crashed headlong into the enemy group. Although he was less than seven feet tall, he had extraordinary arm strength. With a big knife like a windmill, he smashed several people in a row, and no one could stop him.There were dozens of guards in his bodyguard, all of them were strong soldiers, and they were also brave and good at fighting. They followed Huang Wu closely and killed a lot of enemies.

Relying on Huang Wu fighting with his life at the front, and Chen Jinju coordinating and commanding at the back, Xiandeng's soldiers finally withstood the charge of Wuxi Man.

Seeing this, Liu Zong, who was in the middle army, immediately ordered the left army Cai Sheng and Ou Xiong, and the right army Feng Xi and Gao Xiang to advance at the same time and outflank the Wuxi Man.

Liu Liang led the cavalry to stay behind.For the current Liu Jingjun, the cavalry is an absolute luxury, and they must not be moved lightly, and the final decision must be made once they move.

Realizing that Liu Jingjun wanted to encircle his own side and was in charge of the fine men on the left and right sides, he immediately led the crowd out of the brigade to meet Liu Jingjun on the two wings.

The pioneers fought head-on, mainly defensive counterattacks, and formed a square formation, while the two wings mainly focused on offense, so they formed a sharp formation.The sharp formation consists of a team of 50 people, ten formations horizontally and four rows deep, rushing towards the enemy at high speed.

Cai Sheng was at the forefront, personally serving as the leader of the sharp formation. As the left-wing leader, he should have been in the center to command, but he was born as a city ranger, and he took the lead in "righteousness". Regardless of his status as a general, he acted as a front.

Because of his status, Shan Riqi didn't lead an army, so Cai Sheng was not jealous, he thought he was the most brave general, and he thought that he should be the first to ascend.Unexpectedly, Liu Zong let his cronies Chen Jin and Huang Wu take the lead, and he became the foil, which made Cai Sheng very angry. At this moment, the Wuximan opposite him naturally became the object of his venting. .

"Kill..." Cai Sheng wore a robe covering his whole body, so he discarded the armor and did not use it, but armed with a knife and spear, he led the crowd to charge. The Wuxi Man on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and also charged. together.

Liu Jingjun, who was more fully prepared, formed a tighter formation, and better equipped, had an absolute advantage in the duel. Wuxi Man's relatively loose formation was instantly torn apart by dozens of sharp formations by Liu Jingjun.The Wuling Man were forced to fight on their own, desperately resisting Liu Jingjun's stormy offensive.

"Chong...chong...chong..." Cai Sheng held both swords and spears, striding through the enemies, but in a short while, his armor was covered with blood, like a bloody coat.The enemy in front of him is not worth his stop at all. His target is the Chinese army of the Wuxi Man.

Jing Fu happened to be in front of Cai Sheng, facing the invincible Cai Sheng who was coming along the road, Jing Fu was not afraid, he held a knife to meet him, and shouted loudly: "Han dog, die!"

Cai Sheng saw that the man was proficient in Chinese and was dressed in gorgeous armor. He was expected to be a barbarian leader. He strode up and struck his face with a spear like lightning.

Those who can serve as the master must be the warriors among the warriors of the Jingman. Facing the attacking spear, the master is not in a hurry and blocks it with a lance.

However, the spear was a false move by Cai Sheng, when he saw the fine man holding up the mace, he immediately abandoned the spear and stabbed with the saber.

Jing Fu saw a flash of white light, and his throat was pierced. He opened his mouth as hard as he could, as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth was filled with blood, but he couldn't utter a word.

Cai Sheng pulled out the knife vigorously, and blood spurted out from the wound in an instant. He didn't care about the blood on his body, so he chopped off his head with a knife, held it high above his head, and shouted: "Your fine husband has been kissed by me!" Cut, why don’t you surrender quickly?”

Not many Wuxi Man speak Chinese, but "Jing Fu" is a literal translation of Man language. In addition, there are not a few people around who have seen it with their own eyes. The Wuxi Man lost all fighting spirit for a while, and they all fled.

Cai Sheng ignored the Wuximan deserters who fled the battlefield, but followed the defeated soldiers and rushed straight to the Wuximan's central army.

Feng Xi and Gao Xiang are also strong generals. Although the progress of the right wing is not as good as that of the left wing, they are not too far behind. It is only a matter of time before the enemy is defeated and the encirclement is completed.

At the same time, more than [-] troops appeared behind Wuximan in a single day.Because they were quite similar to Wuximan, Wuximan thought they were his reinforcements, and couldn't help cheering loudly under great joy.

The elites were also at a loss, they didn't know why, and thought: "Could it be that besides them, Liu Rui also found other people?"

It's just that as the single-day camp got closer and closer, instead of slowing down, they charged at full speed. The Wuxi barbarians were bewildered, while the elite men suddenly changed their expressions. In panic, they shouted anxiously: "The enemy attack... ...enemy attack..."

It was only a few tens of steps away, and it arrived in an instant. The Danri Bubu didn't give Wuxi Man any time to react, and went straight to the Wuxi Man's rear formation.

The faces of Danri Bubu were all blacked out for identification, but the Wuxi barbarians didn't know this. In a hurry, it was difficult to distinguish between enemy and friend, and they were immediately killed by Shan Ri Bubu.

The Wuxi Man had already been trapped by Liu Jingjun three times, but now the appearance of the Dan Ri Bubu suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Thousands of Wuxi Man fled westward like locusts.

Seeing this, Liu Liang in the rear led the cavalry in pursuit without waiting for Liu Zong's order.

Jingman doesn't wear shoes, but he is taller than the high mountains, walks like flying, and most of them have no armor. When fleeing for his life, he runs wildly at an astonishing speed. Except for the single day, it is difficult for Liu Jingjun's soldiers to catch up with Wuximan .

At this time, the importance of the cavalry was shown. Liu Liang led more than a thousand cavalry to chase the Wuxi Man for dozens of miles, and captured nearly 4000 people successively. In the end, only a thousand people escaped.
