The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 742 741 Ambush Everywhere
On the official road, Meng Huo led an army of [-] barbarians to attack Bodao County. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to send troops northward to attack Chengdu.

However, to attack Chengdu, we must first break through the blocked Lingguan Road and Bodao County. These two places are the two main passages from Nanzhong to Chengdu.Of course, he could also take a detour, but that was time-consuming and laborious, and it was not conducive to the advancement of the army. He could only choose one of Lingguan Road and Bodao County as a breakthrough point.

Finally, after some deliberation, Meng Huo set his sights on Bodao County, where Wu Yi was stationed, and prepared to break through the defense line from here.

Although there are only 1 people on the Lingguan Road stationed by Wu Ban, the narrow road of Lingguan Road is not conducive to the advancement of the army. Even if he sends 2000 troops to attack, only [-] or [-] people can actually go to the battlefield. He could only watch helplessly from behind.Moreover, Lingguan Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a man in charge of the pass, and there is no way to open it. If there is a strong attack, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

Although Bodao County is a mountain city like Lingguan Road, the county seat of Bodao County is quite large, and the official roads are very flat and wide. Moreover, the Bo people and Yi people in the county are also inextricably linked. Time can also help barbarians.Even the high mountains on both sides of Bodao County are relatively easy to climb over.

Meng Huo was still thinking about how to attack Bodao County. He planned to send 2 troops, of which [-] would climb over the mountains on both sides of Bodao County and attack behind the city of Bodao County. The high mountains on the side are condescending, and they use bows and arrows to attack.In this way, he will be able to surround Bodao County, and then attack from all sides, and within two days, Bodao County will be captured.

Of course, this is just Meng Huo's idea. Whether the specific war situation will be as he imagined is still unknown.

Meng Huo rode a curly-haired red rabbit horse with thick armor on his body, a wrought copper helmet on his head, and a pair of tiger eyes glowing with confidence.He turned his head and glanced at the army behind him, but saw that the official road behind him was endless, dusty, densely covered with banners, mighty, covering the sky and the sun.

Meng Huo had a complacent look on his face, and his heart was filled with incomparable excitement. This would be his first step towards dominating the Central Plains.

"How far is it to Bodao County?" Meng Huo turned his head and looked at the crowded official road stretching far ahead, so he asked Mrs. Wang beside him.

"There are still about thirty miles." Wang Zhen replied.

Meng Huo nodded and didn't say anything else, but thought to himself, "There are only thirty miles left, and after another thirty miles, I, Meng Huo, will be famous all over the world!"

Wang Fu's face was livid and expressionless, but he was extremely worried in his heart. He and Li Hui joined forces to kill Yong Kai, Gao Ding, Zhu Bao and others, but Meng Huo who didn't want to replace them Yong Kai's ambition is even greater.Yong Kai just seemed to be the king of Nanzhong, but Meng Huo actually wanted to dominate the Central Plains.

If I had known this was the result, Mrs. Wang shouldn't have plotted against Yong Kai with Li Hui. At least Yong Kai was still a Han with Han blood in his body, but this Meng Huo was an out-and-out barbarian. , I have no feeling for the Han people at all.

However, fortunately, Mrs. Wang tried her best to persuade E Huan, the number one brave general under Gaoding's tent, to surrender at that time, which was a good deal for them.

"Report to Your Majesty, the pioneer leaders A Hui Nan, Mang Ya Chang, Dong Dana, Jin Huan Sanjie and other leaders have led an army of [-] to the foot of the mountain and are about to climb the mountain. Please show me your Majesty." A barbarian scout Suddenly he rode his horse and galloped towards Meng Huo, and he directly saluted and asked.

What Meng Huo led was only [-] troops, and the remaining [-] troops had already set out one step ahead under the leadership of A Huinan, Mang Yachang, Dong Dana, and Jin Huan Sanjie.When he learned that they had arrived at the foot of the mountains on both sides of Bodao County, he was naturally very happy, which indicated that his plan could be carried out smoothly.

"Then what are you waiting for? Tell them to proceed according to the original plan and make sure to arrive at the designated location before noon, so that they can cooperate with me in launching the attack." Meng Huo said impatiently.

"Here!"

The scout left quickly, went to deliver the order, and rode away on a horse.

Meng Huo's position was in the middle of the 2-strong army. His confidant Wu Tugu was at the front, leading [-] horses, and the last [-] troops were led by his younger brother Meng You.

The starting army is [-]. If Meng Huo can successfully break through Bodao County and attack Qianwei County, he will continue to increase his troops. Then the [-] troops left near Dianchi Lake will follow to avoid the shortage of troops. Condition.

In addition to the 20 troops, Meng Huo also issued an order to the various Yi tribes in South China to mobilize all Yi men to join this unprecedented scale of war, to show the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains that they were forced to surrender How did the Yi people under them overthrow their dynasty and take control of the Central Plains.

Conquering Yizhou was only Meng Huo's first step. The second step was to capture Jiaozhou, which is adjacent to Nanzhong. The third step was Jingzhou, the fourth step was Yangzhou, the fifth step was Yongzhou, and the sixth step was Liangzhou. The seventh step is Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, and the eighth step is the whole of Hebei...

Meng Huo thought very far and thought a lot. He could even imagine that he ruled the world in Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. The feeling in your own hands.

However, after all, this is just the result of Meng Huo's wild imagination, but the reality is that there is still a long way to go. I don't know if Meng Huo can see what he wants in his lifetime.

Before he knew it, Meng Huo's vanguard, led by Wu Tugu, had already approached Bodao County, about five miles away.

The barbarian warriors on the official road were all high-spirited and full of energy. They all wore uniform barbarian costumes. There were hardly many horses in the army. These soldiers marched on foot.

Nanzhong does not produce horses, so there are very few war horses, and the soldiers can only rely on their legs to move forward step by step.

Among the 500 barbarian army, there were only [-] horsemen. Except for the leaders of the tribes, most of the rest of the horses were distributed to barbarian scouts to facilitate their transmission of information.

Wu Tugu was one of the riders, and the horse he was sitting on was a tall and strong horse, but compared with his huge body, it seemed a bit dwarfed.Wu Tugu is tall, with a hulking back and waist, and his huge body weighs at least two hundred catties. In addition, he is carrying a mace weighing eighty catties on his shoulders. The pressure on this war horse, coupled with the long time of walking, it can barely be seen that this war horse has been overwhelmed, panting heavily.

But Wu Tugu completely ignored these things, he just rode on the horse leisurely and contentedly, without thinking too much, but when the horse came here, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground .

"Herod..."

The war horse screamed, fell sideways on the ground, and overturned the Wutugu on the horse's back. If Wutugu hadn't been agile, he would have been thrown into the mud by a dog.

"Damn it!" Wu Tugu couldn't help cursing, and when he saw the war horse lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, he also sighed, a good war horse, but was crushed hard by his own body Broken, it seems that he is still not suitable for riding.

At this time, a group of barbarians hurried over from the side and asked, "Is the general alright?"

"What can I do? Keep going!"

With Wu Tugu's order, this small episode disappeared in a flash. Wu Tugu should be walking, carrying his mace, walking at the front of the team, swaggering, not paying attention at all. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the bushes on both sides of the Taoist official road.

The same was true for the rest of the barbarians, they didn't have any defenses, they seemed to be dazzled by the victory, thinking that with the arrival of a hundred thousand troops, the enemy would be afraid and surrender without a fight.

In the bushes on both sides of the official road, pairs of black eyes stared closely at these barbarians. They were all lying on the ground, everyone held their breath, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and everyone was nervous. extremely.

Although Wu Yi has done simulated training many times, simulated training is still different from real war. Training will not kill people, but war will kill people, and many people will die.

Fortunately, Wu Yi's subordinates are all well-trained soldiers. They have long since lost the fear of recruits, and their eyes are full of fierce lights, because on the battlefield, either you die or I live. It is impossible for them not to kill the enemy desperately.Moreover, this battle is also the top priority. If Bodao County cannot be defended, Yizhou will be over.Not only them, but tens of thousands of Han people will suffer from the barbarians. Their wives and daughters will be raped and prostituted, their families will be killed, their families will be destroyed, and they will be displaced. This is what they don't want to see.

Therefore, they only had to kill the enemy desperately.

Wu Tugu led the army and continued to move forward for about two miles. Basically, Bodao County could be seen vaguely. At this time, only the sound of several trumpets and cannons suddenly came from the deep mountains on both sides of Bodao County. , Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, all birds flew together and all beasts ran together in the awe-inspiring mountain forest.Immediately afterwards, high-pitched shouts of killing came from the mountains on both sides.

Almost at the same time, ambush in the bushes on both sides of the official road, suddenly a thousand arrows were fired, and the arrows fell like rain.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The arrows poured down like a violent storm, and the unsuspecting barbarians walking on the official road were immediately shot into a large area.

A cluster of arrows fell, and another cluster of arrows was shot out. The Yi people were suddenly attacked, and they were caught off guard. Before they could react, more than half of them fell down, and the remaining Yi people stood alone. In the middle of the official road, he drew out the scimitar from his waist and looked around in a daze, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Han Chinese troops suddenly rushed out of the bushes. These people were fully armed, with bright armor and refined weapons. barbarians.

The sudden attack stopped the Yi people's army from advancing, and Wu Tugu, who was walking in the front, was also shocked. He was shot with two arrows, but he was not shot at the vital point. He was as strong as a bull. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the two arrows shot at his body, and threw them directly on the ground. Seeing the Han army swooping down from both sides, he cheered up, waved the mace in his hand, and Slammed at the enemy.

The mace weighing eighty catties was danced like a light ribbon in Wu Tugu's hand, and hit a Han soldier head-on with a "bang", and the Han soldier screamed. , spurting blood donation, was instantly knocked into the air, and knocked down several soldiers rushing behind, and died on the spot, but the ribs of the knocked down soldiers were broken one by one, the pain was unbearable, and they never got up from the ground again. I can't get up.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Tugu kept waving the mace in his hand, and ruthlessly smashed one Han soldier after another. Anyone who was hit by him was killed on the spot, and even those who were knocked down were killed. hurt.

Relying on the mace in his hand, he swept out of the place where he was standing. The rest of the people knew how powerful he was and did not dare to approach him, but they couldn't stop him from actively seeking to fight. The place where the mace was swung, Han soldiers are actively avoiding.

The Han soldiers saw that Wutugu was too powerful to get close to, so they shot him with arrows, but Wutugu was not wearing any armor, but when the arrow hit him, it was obvious that the arrow had already penetrated into his body , but not a drop of blood flowed out.

While wielding a mace to block the incoming arrows, Wu Tugu pulled out the arrows shot at his body with his hands, and continued to fight fiercely with the Han soldiers as if nothing happened.

The Han soldiers saw that Wu Tugu was invulnerable to swords and guns, and his martial arts skills were so strong that they couldn't get close to him. They had no choice but to avoid him and attack the rest of the barbarians.

The battle on the official road was extremely fierce, but the rest of the Yi people formed a sharp contrast with Wu Tugu. Under the impact of the Han soldiers, the Yi people's [-] vanguard troops were almost wiped out. Come to support, suddenly there was a clear whistle among the Han soldiers, and the Han soldiers quickly withdrew, one or two running faster than rabbits.

The Han soldiers came and went in a hurry, but there were corpses of Yi people left on the official road. The blood stained the official road red, and the smell of blood was everywhere.

At this time, Meng Huo rode a war horse and rushed over from the Chinese army. Seeing the corpses of Yi people lying all over the official road in front of him, his heart was filled with anger.

At this moment, I saw Wu Tugu hurrying over from the official road in front carrying a mace, his whole body was covered with blood, but the blood was not his, but the Han soldiers'.

This time the Han soldiers ambushed successfully. Except for Wu Tugu who killed more than 20 Han soldiers one after another, the rest of the barbarians were in panic and killed very few Han soldiers. Only a few hundred corpses of Han soldiers were found.

"Your Majesty—" Wu Tugu saw Meng Huo and shouted loudly.

Meng Huo saw Wu Tugu come back with his whole body covered in blood, as if he had just soaked in a pool of blood.But he knew that the blood was not from Wu Tugu, but from the enemy.

Wu Tugu was the most powerful general under Meng Huo's command. It is said that this man did not eat whole grains, but only ate ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes. Over time, a kind of scales grew on his body, which made him invulnerable.Moreover, Wu Tugu was not a pure barbarian, he was born of a barbarian and a barbarian, his mother was a barbarian, and his father was a barbarian, so he inherited the blood of the southern barbarians, so that he was tall, strong, and born with supernatural powers.

Now Wu Tugu is only in his 20s, with extraordinary courage, under the drive of Meng Huo, he seized the position of the tribal leader of the Nanman Ugo tribe, and brought the Nanban Ugo tribe under his jurisdiction .

It's just that this time Wu Tugu is not leading the barbarians of the Ugo tribe, but the barbarians. Otherwise, with the strong combat power of the Wugo tribe, even if they encounter a sudden attack by the Han soldiers, they will not be defeated. It was so tragic.

However, Meng Huo couldn't wait for Wu Tugu to go to the tribe to gather the barbarians of the Ugo tribe, thinking that Wu Yi could be wiped out only by relying on the barbarians, which frightened him.

These dead barbarians were gathered temporarily by Meng Huo without much training. He handed over all these barbarians to Wu Tugu's leadership because Wu Tugu had a natural deterrent force, and he wanted to borrow Wu Tugu's help. Their bravery inspired their fighting spirit, but who would have thought that there would be such a fiasco.

Wu Tugu ran to Meng Huo's side, and said in a panic, "There is an ambush by the Han soldiers, and our army suffered heavy casualties!"

Meng Huo frowned, and said coldly to Wu Tugu, "I've seen it all!"

"Then what should we do now? Should we continue to move forward? We still have three miles to reach Bodao County. There are ambushes here, so there must be ones ahead." Wu Tugu said.

Meng Huo sneered, "If you are brave, you will be brave, but you are a little simple-minded.The enemy had just ambushed once, and I would definitely pay more attention to defense. How could I ambush a second time?
Coincidentally, the loss of nearly [-] people in the Wutugu Department was enough to make Meng Huo feel bad. Who knew that a scout ran from a distance and came to Meng Huo one after another, reporting with a livid face. : "My Majesty, there was an ambush by the Han soldiers on the mountain. The four generals Ahui Nan, Dong Dana, Mang Yachang, and Jin Huan Sanjie were all in ambush, and the Han soldiers even set up many traps in the mountain. The general suffered heavy losses, so he temporarily retreated from the mountain and asked the king for further instructions."

Meng Huo's complexion became more serious, and his eyes were full of resentment, the root of his teeth itching with hatred, looking at the vaguely visible Bodao County, feeling extremely depressed.

The Han soldiers broke his original plan, making it impossible for him to encircle Bodao County. In this way, it may be a bit difficult to simply break through from the front.

Meng Huo turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Wang who was following him, and asked, "Mr. Wang, what should we do now?"

Wang Fu said: "Wu Yi is a veteran general in Sichuan. He is very good at using troops. The purpose of setting up an ambush this time is to prevent the advance of the king's army. Moreover, Bodao County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the king cannot encircle him, attack from the front alone. If not, I’m afraid it will be difficult to break through.”

Meng Huo said, "According to what you say, is there nothing we can do about him?"

Wang Fu said: "If you attack by force, you will definitely suffer heavy losses. I don't recommend this method. Even if you take down Bodao County, it will weaken a lot of your king's strength. Since the hard ones can't do it, then come soft ones. I used to I have met Wu Yi once, if the king is willing, I can go to Bodao County to persuade Wu Yi to surrender."

A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Meng Huo's eyes, and he asked, "Will Wu Yi surrender to me?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Now that the situation is clear and Zhang Fei is gone, I can understand it with reason and move it with emotion. If Wu Yi is willing to surrender to the king, it will be like adding wings to the king. If you want to capture Chengdu, it will be just around the corner. .”

Meng Huo laughed loudly and said: "Okay, since Mr. Wang is willing to go for me, then I will not take any action for now. As long as Wu Yi is willing to surrender, after I occupy Chengdu, I can make him the second king." , second only to me.”

"Your Majesty's kindness and these attractive conditions, I think as long as Wu Yi is not a fool, he will definitely agree."

"Well, let's go."

"Here, Your Majesty, please wait for my good news."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Wang left Meng Huo and headed towards Bodao County alone...
