Chapter 476 The Fall of Yi Village

Thousands of officers and soldiers successfully slid to the bottom of the cliff with the help of ropes and were not in a hurry to attack. They hid in the woods to rest on the spot, drank water and ate dry food, and nourished their energy for the sneak attack at night. When Zhuge Liang led the main force to reach the edge of the cliff, he saw the terraces on which the Yi tribe lived and the villages scattered everywhere. He couldn't help sighing: If it weren't for the Yizhou topographic map provided by Fa Zheng, he would lead 20,000 soldiers along the old road to the nest of the Yi tribe, at least half of the troops. The military time will take at least one month.

Of course, Zhuge Liang knows the mind of Fa Zheng: the smart and wise Fa Zheng not only judges that Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, will take the initiative to invite Liu Bei, the pastor of Jingzhou, to lead the army to Yizhou, but also judges that Liu Bei still has the intention to seek Yizhou. After all, Liu Bei's ambition is lofty, not what the "dog of guarding the household" Liu Zhang can expect. So he chose to follow Liu Bei and secretly gave the latest Yizhou topographic map to Liu Bei...

Of course, Liu Bei knew the experience of Fa Zheng and his family, which was ruthlessly suppressed by Liu Zhang. If it hadn't been for Fa Zheng's pretending to be crazy, it was estimated that he and the family behind him would not avoid the fate of being slaughtered. After all, Liu Zhang came to power at that time, and he needed three fires to enhance his sense of authority! Zhuge Liang believes that such a talented and strong person as Fa Zheng has not been reused, but has encountered inhuman hardships, which shows that the problem lies with Liu Zhang. With Liu Zhang's ability to govern a state, the outcome can be imagined: As a result, Liu Zhang, who did whatever he could and excluded his dissidents, encountered the opposition of Meng Huo, the leader of the Lu and Liangshan Yi people, in Wudou Rice Religion in Hanzhong County. Zhao Wei, a senior official under his command, also plotted to replace Liu Zhang. Zhao Wei believed that Liu Zhang was the second ancestor. The wine bag and rice bag are not worth following.

Internal and external troubles. Liu Zhang's three fires not only did not burn the power of the dissident, but burned himself inside and tenderly. Finally, he had to invite Liu Bei's power to Yizhou. The old saying goes well: It's easy to ask God and it's hard to send God. Can young Liu Zhang see through Liu Bei's thoughts? ......

Liu Ping and Liao Hua led thousands of vanguard soldiers to rest at the bottom of the cliff, and Zhuge Liang led nearly 10,000 soldiers to rest on the edge of the cliff. When night fell, just as the time for the Yi people to cook dinner, Zhuge Liang ordered the vanguard troops to launch a sneak attack: Liu Ping and Liao Hua led their respective troops to sneak all the way carefully, and they acted. Nearly 10,000 main troops slid down from the top of the cliff, while Zhuge Liang himself stayed on the suspension under the protection of one hundred and ten bodyguards. Watching the battle on the edge of the cliff...

Liu Ping and Liaohua's attack is not without goals and planning: their sneak attack mission is to attack the main village of the Yi tribe from two sides. The attacked village must be the village where Meng Huo and his wife live. After the sneak attack war is launched, they will adopt the tactic of "encirclement and rescue" to eliminate the Yi soldiers who come to the rescue...

With the cover of the night, thousands of pioneers led by Liu Ping and Liao Hua quickly crossed the terraces. It was not until they were hundreds of meters away from the main villages of the Yi tribe that the dark whistle of the Yi tribe found that two armies seemed to fall from the sky. They played the warning bamboo flute and were shot by the enemy's bows and arrows the next moment. Die.

The Yi soldiers who received the danger warning immediately closed the gate of the village. Thousands of soldiers poured out of the wooden house and ran to the wooden fence up to four meters high. The villages of the Yi tribe are almost all backers on one side, and the other three sides are surrounded by wooden railings three or four meters high. In addition to the gate, the wooden fence is surrounded by traps. In traps up to several meters deep, sharp bamboo thorns are checked. Once a man or beast falls, the body will be penetrated and there are thousands of holes...

The blind area covered by the trap also has all kinds of iron clips and various ropes. When enemies or beasts enter this area, their legs are either broken, or the whole body is hung up, losing their mobility, and can only be slaughtered by the Yi soldiers.

Yizhou soldiers and reinforcement soldiers, who are familiar with the situation of barbaric tribal villages, just chose the gate of the village as the attack point: at the beginning of the sneak attack battle, Liu Ping and Liao Hua led the generals to attack the village from the east gate and the south gates. Hundreds of soldiers held shoulder-high shields in the sound of "killing" in the night sky, all the blood boiling. Rushing to the gate of the village, the shield soldiers blocked the crossbow arrows of the Yi soldiers with the shield in their hands, and at the same time, the companions behind them shot arrows at the Yi soldiers at the gate of the village...

The arrows shot by the two sides roared in the steep night wind. Because the attacking side was well prepared in advance, the crossbow arrows of the guarding side did not cause much casualties, but slowed down the forward speed of the attacking side; and the Yi soldiers who rushed to fight were arrows shot by half of the Yizhou soldiers. Shoot to death...

However, with the arrival of more and more Yi soldiers, they almost blocked the tide-like attack of the Yizhou army with their flesh and blood.

The injured Meng Huo and his wife came when they heard the news. Due to the serious injury, they could only watch the clan soldiers die in the battle. However, when they put them on the towering watchtower and saw that the enemy general at the south gate of the village was a super fierce general, they knew that the south gate would be broken by the other side sooner or later... They observed that the attacking enemy was only thousands. In this way, as long as the soldiers of the surrounding villages rushed over quickly, even if they paid 10,000 people. The price is also possible to kill the super warrior...

But when the south gate was broken, no supporting clan soldiers arrived. Instead, Meng Huo and his wife heard the sound of bamboo flute from the dark night: This situation shows that the soldiers who came to support the main village were intercepted halfway, which means that more than thousands of enemy troops came to attack...

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Meng Huo and his wife ordered the clan soldiers to give up resistance and lead their families to evacuate from the cave as much as possible! From beginning to end, Meng Huodu felt confused: Where did the enemy come to his nest? Did they fly in with wings? There is no warning or warning in advance...

After Meng Huo's order was issued, the Yi soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner. Two hours later, Liu Ping and Liao Hua led their troops to break through the Yi village. The Yi soldiers who came to support in front of them also retreated with the help of the cover of the night. More than 10,000 Yizhou soldiers and reinforcement soldiers entered the village where Meng Huo and his wife were located, as well as the nearby villages. They gathered the Yi people who did not have time to escape.

The main village of the Yi nationality is a burning torch every ten meters. The Yizhou soldiers stood on the horizontal board of the wooden fence around the village, holding crossbows and bows and arrows, staring at thousands of unarmed Yi people, who were almost all children and old people.

At dawn, Zhuge Liang himself came to the main village under the protection of a hundred bodyguards. Zhuge Liang ordered his generals to treat the old people and children of the Yi people kindly. At the same time, he ordered Liu Ping and Liao Huai to lead their respective troops into the cave and continue to chase the retreating Meng Huo and his wife.

Liu Ping and Liao Hua led their troops to the cave behind the village: the entrance of the cave is open-minded. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can feel the gloomy wind. Liu Ping knows that the most difficult thing to fight against the barbarians is not in the jungle, but in the cave; the cave is the last support of the barbarians and the battle place where they can maximize their strength.

Looking at the cold and dark cave, Liu Ping was scared, but he did not dare to refuse Zhuge Liang's order. When Liao Hua took a contemptuous look, he led hundreds of soldiers with shields to rush into the cave first. Liu Ping could only gritted his teeth and bravely led the shield soldiers to rush into the cave.

After rushing into the cave for a kilometer, the first Liao Hua was blocked by the Yi soldiers. In the dark, although the defense of the Han soldiers wearing iron armor has improved, it is inevitable to make some sound of iron impact between their actions. Therefore, the Yi archers hiding in the dark can determine the position of the enemy according to these sounds and shoot arrows at will... In the dark, the arrows fired by the Yi archers are not accurate. The target, but the Han soldiers have no way to resist: the Han soldiers and soldiers heard the soft sound of bows and arrows leaving the string, and the next moment the arrows shot fiercely shot on their shields, or their iron armor, and some randomly shot arrows were still lucky to shoot in their faces. In this way, the injured Han soldiers could only make a miserable cry and cover the surface. On the cold ground.

The Han archers behind the shield soldiers could only shoot forward aimlessly. The Yi archers in rattan armor can come and go freely in the dark without making a sound.

In the face of the obstruction of the Yi soldiers, Liu Ping and Liao Hua adjusted their offensive tactics after negotiation: every 100 meters forward, the shield soldiers in the front row threw torches into the dark front. Then the shield soldiers moved forward again... Once this "throwing stones and asking for directions" tactic was practical, it would have an immediate effect, and the Yi archers hiding in the dark did not dare to appear and attack at will.

In this way, the frightened Liu Ping became bolder, and he began to rush to the front of the team like Liao Hua. However, after going deep into the cave for thousands of meters, the original spacious corridor became narrow, and two fork roads were separated at the same time. After discussion, Liu Ping and Liao Hua chose a fork to continue to chase the retreating Meng Huo and his wife.

Liao Hua led his troops into the fork in the right hand side. After he moved forward dozens of meters with vigilance, he felt that the corridor in front of him was a little abnormal. He waved his knife to urge a fiery red knife light. The knife light hit the seemingly ordinary corridor in a silent moment, and the fiery red knife light hit the blue stone corridor, which was not scattered, but straight as if In the blue stone corridor, while the fiery red knife light disappeared, the section of the bluestone corridor suddenly collapsed, and the roar of collapse continued to make a loud noise in the cold cave, and at the same time spread far away... When the thick fog-like dust dispersed, Liao Huan and the soldiers behind him saw a trench five meters wide and six or seven meters deep appeared, and at the same time A dense bamboo gun was shot from the upper part of the corridor...

When Liao Hua saw this scene, he was overjoyed. Because he knew that Liu Ping would not be so lucky on another fork. Due to the barrier of the deep pit, Liao Hua led his troops out of the fork. He wanted to lead his soldiers along the fork where Liu Ping entered and continue to chase the enemy.

Before Liao Hua withdrew from the fork, he heard a roar from another fork. As Liao Hua thought: Liu Ping led the Yizhou soldiers into the fork several hundred meters before he encountered a trap. Originally, Liu Ping planned to rest on the spot after marching kilometers in the fork. He did not expect to encounter the trap set by the Yi people when he led the army to travel hundreds of meters.
