Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Jingzhou troops soon rushed from the rear to the front line under the leadership of Fazheng, Li Yan and other Yizhou soldiers.

At this time, Meng Huo had already led his army to retreat. These Nanman soldiers were also well aware of the strength of the Yizhou Army soldiers, so they always fled in hope of the wind.

After the Yizhou Army soldiers retreat, they will come back again. What we fought was roundabout warfare and guerrilla warfare.

This shocked Guan Yu and other Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers!

"Why did Meng Huo and other Southern Barbarian troops know about our arrival in advance? Guan Yu was surprised,"We have scout pigeons, they can't have them too, right?""

Fazheng, Zhang Song, Li Yan and other Yizhou Army generals looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.

Fazheng sighed and said:"To be honest, there are indeed people like reconnaissance pigeons in the Southern Barbarian Army. Aerial reconnaissance beast!"

"What?!"

Zhang Fei was extremely shocked, and the generals such as Guan Yu and Taishi Ci also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Is there anyone in this world who can control wild beasts as well as my Han army?"Guan Yu didn't seem to understand.

"I have to say that the Southern Barbarian Army is stronger than us in controlling wild beasts! There is a tribe among them that specializes in training beasts to fight."

Li Yan said to the generals of the Jingzhou army:"Not only do they patrol with beasts in the air, but they also attack with beast soldiers on the ground.

Wild animals such as elephants, tigers, bison, and wolves have all become their weapons of attack. Not only is it powerful, but it also appears in large pieces, posing a great threat to us."

This statement made the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army even more surprised!

Beasts?!

If they were fighting against the Southern Barbarian Army and humans, they would have absolute confidence. After all, with the six-fold increase in ability bonus, the Han Army would be unstoppable!

But. If it is against the Southern Barbarians, they will be unstoppable. In the battle between wild beasts, they just think about the size of the elephant, the ferocity of the tiger, the arrogance of the bison, and the teamwork of the wolves, and they feel a little chilly! Is it too exaggerated?!

They thought the big man had a scout pigeon, It's the only one in the world!

I never thought that in this southern barbarian, there are more powerful ways to control beasts.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals looked at each other.

"Now Guan was even more curious about Meng Huo and other Southern Barbarian troops! If we can capture them alive, let them surrender to us.

Not only can you discover the secret silk road to the Shan Kingdom, but you can also gain the means to control beasts. By then, our Han army will not only have reconnaissance pigeons."

Guan Yu's eyes lit up instead, and he became more enthusiastic about Meng Huo and other Southern Barbarian troops.

However, he was also a little confused:"Since the Southern Barbarian army is so powerful, how did you deal with these beast armies?"

"This is thanks to Fa Zheng, who designed it to lead the Nanman army into an ambush circle, and then we could use the terrain to counterattack them."

Li Yan said with a smile:"But now you have also seen that if the southern barbarian army heard that we were rushing for reinforcements, they would immediately flee. When we leave, we will come back again"

"Is there any way to lure the Southern Barbarian Army out? They are evading like this, and we can't fight them!"Guan Yu asked curiously.

Fazheng said with a smile:"Of course it is not difficult.

We only need to declare a challenge in an open area, a wilderness where the Southern Barbarians can show their power. With Meng Huo's temperament, he will definitely fight without hesitation. of.

However, that would be bad for us!"

The vast wilderness allowed the Southern Barbarian beast army to charge. What could these flesh-and-blood soldiers do to stop them?

In the end, it just ended in a disastrous defeat, and the gain was not worth the loss!

Guan Yu sighed and said:"This is true! But our Jingzhou Army has just arrived, and we must fight with it before we can know ourselves, the enemy, and the enemy.

French military advisor, do you have any strategy so that we can fight with them without being hurt by the beast army?"

Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals also looked at Fazheng expectantly.

Their Jingzhou Army did not bring any staff advisors for this expedition. If they charged into battle and marched, there would naturally be no problem.

But what if? Making plans and arranging troops is their shortcoming.

Fazheng thought for a while and came up with a countermeasure:"It's quite simple!

You challenge them directly and openly. If you are defeated, then fight and retreat, luring the Southern Barbarians to pursue them.

We set up an ambush on the escape route, and when the time comes, we will lure them in and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

The eyes of Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou Army officers lit up.

Guan Yu praised and said:"The French military advisor is indeed unparalleled in resourcefulness. He is on par with, or even better than, Xu's military advisor!"

"Military Advisor Xu? Fazheng thought for a while and asked with a smile:"But Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?""

"It's Commander Xu!"Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou soldiers laughed and said, this is their old partner, and they have a very close relationship.

Fazheng also praised and said:"Xu Yuanzhi is really resourceful and one of the best counselors.

I've heard about it a long time ago, but it's a pity that this trip didn't come and I can't meet him."

Fazheng's words are naturally exaggerated. This is because he observed his words and saw that Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou troops had a good impression of Xu Shu and liked him. As expected.

After

Guan Zhang and other soldiers heard this, they felt better about Fazheng..

This is a sedan chair carrying people. In short, it is business exchanges. With this back and forth, Fazheng easily penetrated into the Jingzhou Army. Diplomacy and the ability to observe people's emotions can be said to be extremely powerful.

What they saw were Liu Ba, Zhang Song, Li Yan and other Yizhou generals marveling at him, sighing inwardly at Fa Zheng's strong conduct in life.

Everyone was chatting happily and did not delay their business.

They found the place through the topographic map of Yizhou An excellent place. Then he ordered people to issue a declaration of war directly to the Nanman Army's garrison.

……

This is the Nanman Army.

The Southern Barbarian Army was not Meng Huo's private army, but a coalition of tribes from southern Yizhou. It is more appropriate to call it the Southern Barbarian Coalition Army.

In addition to Meng Huo, there were several leaders in the Southern Barbarian coalition. The most famous one is the Wood Deer King who can control animals.

He has vine armor and is two feet tall with protruding bones.

Mrs. Zhu Rong and her brother from the Zhu Rong tribe also brought the cave master.

Now Mrs. Zhu Rong is not Meng Huo's wife yet. Although she is a woman, Mrs. Zhu Rong is brave and resourceful, has strong martial arts skills, is good at using flying knives, and can hit the target with perfect accuracy.

This is a truly heroic heroine.

The Yizhou Army's letter of challenge was quickly sent to the Southern Barbarian Allied Forces, and Meng Huo immediately summoned many leaders to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, do you think I should wait until the end to fight? Meng

Huo asked with a frown. It was not that he was afraid, but that he had been psychologically affected by the strategies of Fazheng and other Yizhou troops several times before.

If it were a head-on confrontation, Meng Huo would not be afraid of any challenge, even if he was defeated and killed. Even if they were defeated, Meng Huo would not be convinced.

No.

Meng Huo directly united with various ministries in the south of Yizhou, and the allied forces marched towards Yizhou. The result of the counterattack is still very gratifying.

Now we are evenly matched with the Yizhou Army, at a 50-50 level!

"According to Eagle Eye's investigation, it seems that help is coming from the Yizhou Army. Now this challenge letter is most likely to be the Hongmen Banquet! King Mulu , who can control beasts, said seriously:"We still don't care and continue to fight in a roundabout way. The land south of Yizhou is our main battlefield."

We can advance, attack and retreat, we can defend, we occupy the right location, and we have the help of the tribesmen. This is harmony. If the stalemate continues, we will win without a doubt!"

Meng Huo nodded to express his understanding of King Mulu's consideration.

"It's just a grand challenge from the Yizhou Army. If we don't respond, wouldn't it mean that we are afraid of them?"

The cave master who brought him said disdainfully:"If someone else's ambition destroys his own prestige, it will affect the morale of the army, and the people of each tribe will also be in commotion.

Besides, I think the battlefield chosen by the Yizhou Army is not Qingling? It's a smooth road there. Couldn't your Mulu's beast soldiers be put to use? Mrs.

Zhu Rong glanced sideways at her brother-in-law and said calmly:"The Yizhou Army has fought with us many times, and we are quite familiar with each other."

They must know the strength of our beast soldiers and the advantages of the plain wilderness to us. But they still choose here. In all likelihood, there is fraud.

I estimate that they either set up a trap or found a way to deal with the beast soldiers, so that we can use a rat weapon."

Now, King Mulu is unhappy!"

"This king's beast soldiers are victorious in every battle, how can there be a way to deal with them? You look down upon my king’s beast army!"

King Mulu looked unhappy at being looked down upon.

Mrs. Zhu Rong asked without fear:"Why else would the Yizhou Army challenge us? There must be a way to deal with the beast soldiers."

The two of them talked and started to quarrel.

Meng Huo was very confused when he heard this. He finally interrupted the quarrel by slapping the table and made a decision:"The Yizhou army has issued a letter of challenge. We can't be timid and retreat..

Let's go take a look tomorrow. If there's a scam, just lead the troops to evacuate. It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, if you don't even dare to fight, you will be a joke!"

The leaders thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Can't they run away if they can't be defeated?

……

The next day.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Jingzhou troops came to Qingling to prepare for battle. The Yizhou army, under the command of Fazheng and others, set up traps and ambush in the rear.

Meng Huo led the southern barbarian coalition forces to come in a mighty manner.

Looking at the lineup of the Nanman Allied Forces, even though Guan Zhang was mentally prepared, he was still shocked!

The Nanman coalition forces were also divided into several square formations.

The two lineups in the middle, Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong, are both human soldiers. However, they are all warriors of barbarian tribes, obviously different from the Han people in the Central Plains.

The number of troops is about 40,000 to 50,000.

The Mulu King on the left side of the phalanx came riding a white elephant and driving an army of beasts. These beasts include tigers, leopards, jackals, snakes, insects, ants, etc.

There are also eagles and other birds circling in the sky.

This dense army of beasts shocked Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers, their spines went cold and their scalps went numb!

It's not that they are afraid of these beasts, but that humans are naturally a little disgusted when they see beasts like snakes and insects.

What's more, there are still densely packed snake and insect troops, which is as disgusting as possible. Compared to tigers, leopards and jackals, they are more accepting of it.

The human soldiers under King Mulu are very few. It seems that there are only a few hundred. They should be animal trainers or the like.

But if you include the Hundred Beast Legion, the number is extremely exaggerated.

And this army of beasts is the existence that Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou Army officers are most afraid of.

If the two armies were fighting and they were bitten by a poisonous snake unknowingly... they couldn't even imagine it.

The Wutu Bone Army on the right is also a human lineup.

However, Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou Army officers discovered that the 20,000 to 30,000 troops behind Wu Tu Gu were actually soldiers wearing rattan armor.

According to what Fazheng and other Yizhou troops said, these rattan armors are invulnerable, can cross rivers and sink, and are very light.

Even if a bow and arrow were to hit the vine armor, it would not be able to penetrate and would fall to the ground. Its powerful defense is called the 'vine armor army'.

There are many other square formations, which look various and strange. But not as good as the coalition forces of Meng Huo, Madam Zhu Rong, King Mulu, and Wutu Gu.

At a glance, the total number of troops is probably around 100,000.

Of course, this is human strength, not counting the number of those beast legions. If the beast soldiers are added, it will become a bit overwhelming.

This is the entire strength of the Southern Barbarian Alliance Army.

At this moment, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals of the Jingzhou Army actually admired their colleagues in the Yizhou Army.

Facing such an opponent from the Southern Barbarian Alliance, they could still fight back and forth. And he still has the upper hand, his strength is really strong.

You must know that the south side of Yizhou is the territory of the Southern Barbarian Alliance. The opponent occupies a favorable location, and has the help of the tribesmen and the advantage of people.

The time, place, and people were favorable, and the Nanman Allied Forces occupied the second place, but they still failed to defeat the Yizhou Army officers and soldiers.

It is conceivable that the officers and soldiers of the Yizhou Army such as Zhang Ren and Li Yan are powerful, and the counselors of the Yizhou Army such as Fazheng, Liu Ba, and Zhang Song are outstanding in resourcefulness.

At the beginning, Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou Army officers looked down upon the Yizhou Army officers and soldiers, but a mere southern barbarian was dragged in by them for several years. What a shame!

But now that I have experienced it personally, I am convinced!

……

Guan Zhang and other officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were observing the Southern Barbarian Coalition Army, and the leading officers and soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Coalition Army were also observing them.

At this glance, they realized something was wrong.

They have been fighting with the Yizhou Army for many years and are very familiar with it. The soldiers fighting with them now are completely unfamiliar faces.

Among the leading generals, one had a red face and a long beard, another had a swallow-jawed tiger-bearded leopard head, and several others were strangers.

Several leaders of the Nanman coalition exchanged glances, and they all guessed that this was probably the reinforcements rushing to aid Yizhou.
