Chapter 49 Nanguanghua sent troops to Nanman Cao Mengde pacified Hebei (23
Meng Huo gathered a lot of barbarians, and the surrounding caves got news, so Dong Yu's caves sent the news to Nanye camp. Nan Ye let Meng Huo go several times not to convince him, but to use him to bring out all the potential threats of Zhu Rongdong and solve them once and for all. Therefore, when he heard that Meng Huo gathered barbarians again, Nan Ye was not worried but happy and continued to march into the army.
Nanye was leading the army, and suddenly there was a big river blocking the road in front of him. The river was slow, and there was no boat raft on the river. Nan Ye ordered to cut wood for the raft, and the trees sank to the water. This surprised Nanye and called Huabei to ask questions.
Hua Bei smiled and said, "This river is called the Xi'er River. Boats can't cross the water. If you want to cross the river, you can only build a floating bridge. There is a mountain in the upper reaches of the river, and its mountains are many bamboos. Brother Wang can make people build bridges.
Xu Shu said, "This river is strange and can be used to stop the enemy. The young darts might as well be stationed here and occupy the land to lure Meng Huo to attack.
Nan Ye used Xu Shu's plan to make people go into the mountain to cut down 100,000 bamboos, put them down along the water, and build a bamboo bridge in the narrow part of the river, which is more than ten feet wide. The army went down to the village on the north bank, with the river as the trench, the pontoon bridge as the gate, and the earth as the city to wait for the barbarian soldiers.
A few days later, Meng Huo led 50,000 barbarians to come angrily. When he arrived at the Xi'er River and saw that Nanye had already gone down to the village on the north bank, he ordered Ma to camp on the south bank and ordered 10,000 knives to come forward to fight.
Nan Ye led the generals to stand on top of the earth city, and he saw the Ding army with their bare chests and backs one by one and did not wear clothes. I don't know what's on my face. It looks very scary. Although these military uniforms are not covered, the weapons in their hands are complete. They hold a knife in one hand, hold a shield in the other, hit the shield with a knife, and shout in front of the battle, and don't know what they are shouting about.
Huang Zhong asked to fight, "Young darts, and let me go to war, I will meet these savages."
Nan Ye took a look at his skills and found that the force value of these Ding troops was extremely high, with an average of about 40. Although this combat effectiveness is not as good as the mage's personal defense and trapped camp, it is much stronger than ordinary barbarians. Fighting alone is already comparable to the soldiers in the Jiaozhou army.
Facing the strength of 50,000 Jiaozhou army, Nanye did not dare to take it lightly and directly asked Xu Shu. Xu Shu said, "Meng Huo's soldiers are upright and invincible. It is advisable to stick to it for a few days and wait for him to relax before breaking it."
Nan Ye was deeply convinced and ordered the village door to be closed and not allowed to fight. When Meng saw that Nan Ye could not go out, he ordered the Ding army to forcibly cross the river. These soldiers were not afraid of death and clashed directly on the pontoon bridge. Nan Ye ordered the defenders to shoot arrows, and the Ding army blocked it with a shield. Although there were casualties, it was not very heavy.
Seeing that Dingjun was about to rush across the pontoon bridge, Nan Ye was killed in the camp and shot it with a strong crossbow. Although these knives and knives have shields, their shields are mostly made of wood, and the barbarians of 8393 can't afford iron shields. These wooden shields can block ordinary bows and arrows, but they can't resist the strong crossbow. Several rounds of crossbow arrows were shot down, and 10,000 Ding soldiers were killed and injured. Thousands of soldiers dared not rush, so they had to retreat to the south bank.
When Meng Huo saw that the width of the pontoon bridge was limited and his troops and horses were blocked, he also ordered people to go up the mountain to cut bamboo and want to build the pontoon bridge again. How can Nanye let Meng succeed? After Meng Huo built half of the bridge, Nan Ye ordered people to lead the troops to destroy it and shoot a rain of arrows. No matter how brave the Ding army is, it is impossible to build a pontoon bridge in the rain of arrows. He can only retreat. Meng Huo is angry and screams strangely, but there is nothing he can do. So the two sides were deadlocked on both sides of the Xi'er River.
After holding on for a few days, Nan Ye found the weakness of the Ding army. Although these Ding troops are not afraid of death and have strong personal combat effectiveness, they lack discipline and do not accept restraint. In addition, these Dingjuns were invited by Meng You from different caves and do not belong to each other. If they don't agree with each other, they may fight, making the whole Meng Huo's camp chaotic.
Seeing that the barbarian soldiers had slackened, Nan Ye summoned the generals to discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy. Huang Zhong said, "Although there are many barbarians, they are all rabbles. We can attack the camp at night, and a battle can be determined."
Xu Shu said, "No! Meng has too many soldiers and horses and strictly guard against pontoon bridges. If there are fewer people and horses crossing the river, they can't attack the camp. If there are too many people and horses crossing the river, they will be seen by them. Although Meng Huo's soldiers were lax, they were by no means defeated at a touch. I have a plan that may frighter the barbarian soldiers, but I don't know whether it will work or not. I also need to ask the two small cave owners to visit them.
Although Huabei will be present at every military meeting, they come to listen with the purpose of learning. Usually it is not their turn to speak, but they did not expect Xu Shu to refer to their opinions this time. The two of them have been in the Nanye camp for many days and know that Wang Zhi's head is a think tank in the camp, so they dare not underestimate it at all. Hua Bei said, "What's the trick of the dart head? If there is a place for my sister and brother, I will die.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "The owner of the small hole is serious. I just want to ask those Dingjun's credible ghosts and gods?
When he heard the words, he nodded and said, "xin! The tribe of 93Dian is the most believer in ghosts and gods. In some clans, priests are more powerful than patriarchs.
Xu Shu said, "It would be best if this is the case. Before, Meng Huo cut a lot of bamboo when he wanted to cross it, but failed to build a floating bridge. These bamboos were intercepted by us downstream, and we could build another small bridge downstream, and then ordered Wang Zhong's spear leader to smuggle and act like this..."
After listening to Xu Shu's words, Nan Ye clapped his hands and smiled, "This is a wonderful plan! I'm just worried about letting Wang Zhong lead the troops across the river. This time I'm going to cross the river in person. Everything in the camp will be up to you.
"You can't lose your head!" Hearing that Nan Ye was going to cross the river in person, the generals became nervous.
Nan Ye waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say much. Who else can compare with me in this ability to pretend to be a ghost? If I can't succeed, Wang Zhong will be even more unable to succeed.
Everyone also knows that Nanye has the same temper, and Xu Shu can only persuade him: "This trip has to deal with 50,000 troops on the other side, which is very dangerous. If the young dart head goes, you will definitely take your dart heads with you to make everything.
Nan Ye said, "No! It's enough for me to escort Wang Hong, Wang Fu, Wang Zhong and Wang Qi!"
Hua Bei said at this time, "If Brother Wang goes, I will go with him!"
He also said, "If my sister goes, I will go with you!"
Nan Ye smiled bitterly and said, "This trip is dangerous. You can stay in the camp when you are still young."
Hua Bei glanced at Nan Ye and said, "If Brother Wang is in danger, I can't live alone. It's better to live and die with Brother Wang."
Xu Shu's eyes lit up and said, "The owner of the small cave is admirable. If the young dart head goes, take the two small hole owners, otherwise don't go.
Nan Ye knew that Xu Shu's intention was to make himself have some scruples. As long as he brought Hua Beihe, Nan Ye did not dare to take risks for them. Nanye, who had already made up his mind, nodded and said, "That's good! Huabei, bring it with me. It's just that you two must agree that you don't make a fuss about what you see, and strictly abide by the military order.
Hua Bei brought joy and said, "The last general will obey!"
