Chapter 31
In his opinion, if Liu Bei's army in Xiangyang was huddled in Xiangyang city.

Then attacking the city will definitely cost him a little more effort.

But now that Liu Bei's army in Xiangyang City has all come out, Meng Huo feels that he only needs to let 25 troops charge to end the battle.

The other generals of the Southern Barbarian Army also had the same idea as Meng Huo, and immediately called for battle:
"Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity!"

"Liu Beijun and his gang must have no brains, please order us to charge, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please send rattan armored soldiers as vanguards. It only takes the invulnerable rattan armored soldiers to charge and finish them off!"

"."

In their view, this is also an opportunity to wipe out Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop.

Besides, as long as Liu Bei's army is wiped out, Xiangyang will be in their pocket.

Thinking of enjoying life in the Central Plains that they could not enjoy in Yunnan in the future, the mood of these Nanman generals can be described as extremely excited.

And the proposal of these people also made Meng Huo agree: "It is indeed the case. Come, order [-] rattan armored soldiers to be the vanguard, led by the king himself, this time we will annihilate Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop!"

Meng Huo was dispatching troops here in full swing, while Zheng Rui was paying attention to the movement on the other side.

Especially seeing the 25 Nanman troops stop, followed by the Nanman soldiers in earth-colored rattan armor coming from behind, Zheng Rui smiled.

Sure enough, the Southern Barbarians couldn't wait to defeat Liu Bei's army and gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

But the Southern Barbarians didn't ask themselves whether they were willing to keep them.

Seeing the Tengjia soldiers coming out, Zheng Rui said to Zhuge Liang indifferently: "Zhuge Liang, why do you want me to let Huang Zhong join the army and bring fuel?"

Zhuge Liang looked puzzled. In fact, in his opinion, Huang Zhong's ability to defend the city was obvious to all. However, Zheng Rui chose to bring Huang Zhong out, so he would not say much.

After all, Zheng Rui is a precious asset to the entire Liu Beijun.

With Zheng Rui here, Liu Beijun has the strength to compete in the Central Plains.

But this does not mean that Zhuge Liang will not think about the intention of Zheng Rui's move.

Now that Zheng Rui mentioned this point again, Zhuge Liang fell into thinking immediately.

It's just that he never associated Huang Zhong with the Southern Barbarians.

After all, it is a big bug for archers to defend the city, but in the encounters in the wild, the role they can play will be weakened.

At most, the archers have high accuracy and can assist the spearmen and cavalry to injure the enemy while covering the spearmen and cavalry to deal a devastating blow to the enemy.

This is what archers do.

But Zheng Rui didn't say anything, Zhuge Liang's intelligence is unmatched by anyone in the world.

Even a ghost like Sima Yi was completely defeated in front of Zhuge Liang.

Because Zhuge Liang hadn't had contact with rattan armored soldiers in advance, he only knew that rattan armored soldiers were invulnerable, but he had never really seen the rattan armor of rattan armored soldiers.

So Zheng Rui pointed to the rattan armored soldiers who had come to the Southern Barbarian army and said, "Zhuge Liang, do you know why these Southern Barbarian rattan armored soldiers are invulnerable?"

"The rattan armored soldiers of the southern barbarians are invulnerable, and it seems that it all depends on their rattan armor."

Zhuge Liang replied.

Zheng Rui smiled lightly: "Yes, it is their rattan armor that has worked. And what is the rattan armor, do you understand?"

Zhuge Liang showed a hesitant expression, and replied: "Liang doesn't know, please sir, please explain to Liang."

Zhuge Liang lowered his head, his admiration for Zheng Rui was not the slightest bit.

At this time, he believed that the reason why Zheng Rui didn't need to use force to conquer the Nanman this time was because he really didn't want to use force to crush his opponent.

Because from these words, Zhuge Liang discovered that Zheng Rui knew far more about Nanman than anyone else.

'"Mr. Zheng is really too monstrous!"

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, and looked at Zheng Rui with respect.

And Zheng Rui smiled and said: "The rattan armor is indeed a rare treasure, not as good as a sword. Because rattan armor is a kind of armor made of specially treated rattan, it has a strong resistance to ordinary swords and arrows. Protection. Compared with the armor we made, it has the characteristics of light weight, no fear of water, and strong air permeability, and it is precisely because of this that rattan armor is inferior to swords and guns!"

"Sir, could it be that the fatal flaw of the rattan armor is that it is made of wood, that's why you brought Huang Zhong and kerosene!"

Zhuge Liang completely reacted now.

He immediately understood why Zheng Rui brought Huang Zhong and Huoyou with him!
It turns out that the real problem is the fatal flaw of the vine armor, which is the fear of fire!

Seeing Zhuge Liang's reaction, Zheng Rui said with relief: "That's right, today I'm going to burn the rattan armored soldiers! Destroy the prestige of the Nanman!"

"Mr. Talent!"

Zhuge Liang was full of confidence at this moment.

After knowing the fatal flaw of the enemy army, Zhuge Liang looked forward to this battle.

However, the Southern Barbarians didn't know that Zheng Rui had already understood the fatal flaw of their rattan armor. After all, rattan armor was only popular among ethnic minorities.

Even if it has shortcomings, it is enough to make the Central Plains people, who have always paid little attention to the power of ethnic minorities, suffer a big loss from the rattan armor.

But the Southern Barbarian Army would never have imagined that Zheng Rui's appearance made them think that the rattan armor, which they thought was a big killer, had now become their life-threatening talisman!

So Meng Huo seemed to be full of fighting spirit among the [-] rattan armored soldiers at this moment. He raised his sharp sword and shouted: "Little ones, let me lead you to defeat the enemy in front of you, kill!"

After Meng Huo shouted, he rushed out immediately.

The [-] rattan armor soldiers around were also extremely excited and rushed towards Liu Beijun.

The 20 Southern barbarian army followed behind them.

It seems that he is determined by Liu Beijun.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Rui sneered and said, "Did you see that, the gang of Nanban didn't take us seriously. In this case, Zhang Fei took ten thousand of your spearmen to stay where you are, and if anyone retreats, kill them all." amnesty!"

"Yes! If I, Zhang Yide, take a step back, all the officers and men can behead me! The spearmen obey orders and stick to their positions. Anyone who retreats before the battle, don't blame me, Lao Zhang, for cleaning up the house!"

Zhang Fei shouted resolutely.

Ten thousand spearmen immediately raised their spears and held the line of defense to prevent the Southern Barbarians from breaking through the line of defense.

After Zheng Rui arranged for the spearmen, he said to Guan Yu: "Guan Yunchang, lead the cavalry on both sides to retreat to the central army, and prepare to cut off the forward and rear of the Southern Barbarian army at any time!"

"Yes, sir!"

Guan Yu took the order in a deep voice.

Liu Bei, who was in the central army, immediately felt relieved when he saw Zheng Rui dispatching troops in an orderly manner.

At this time, Zheng Rui said to Huang Zhong: "Huang Zhong, put on the oil!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong responded hurriedly.

Then he ordered [-] archers to pour oil on the arrows and wait for Zheng Rui's next order.

At this time, Meng Huo had already advanced [-] steps with [-] rattan armored soldiers, and was still [-] steps away from the front of the formation.

Zheng Rui knew that the effective shooting range of the archers was within [-] steps, so he didn't give any instructions, and just waited quietly for the [-] rattan soldiers to come.

But before Zheng Rui could do anything here, the Southern Barbarians gave Zheng Rui a chance.

Because the rattan armor soldiers rushed too fast!

Far faster than their rear troops, it really looks like a vanguard.

Among them, Meng Huo danced and shouted among the [-] rattan armored soldiers: "Little ones, victory is at hand, go for me!"

Thanks to Meng Huo's stimulation, the [-] rattan soldiers rushed faster again.
