At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

After the death of Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, and after Yong Kai took the initiative in Nan Zhongming's face, Wei Jun's strategy became extremely simple.

There is no need to confine, no alliance, and no need to worry about the distribution of spoils later, just let the army push it all the way, directly occupy the local area, build the local area and develop the local area, that's it.

A large number of low-level officials are waiting, waiting for the army to pacify Nanzhong, and then hand over Nanzhong to them to govern.

Every additional piece of territory will bring many more resources and many official positions, which is what they desire so much.

The news of the Wei army's march is not a secret. When the incident between Gao Ding and Zhu Bao broke out, Yong Kai, no matter how stupid he was, could realize that the Wei army's attack was coming, just as he was still wondering why the Wei people didn't attack because of his alliance with the gentry in central Shu. Conspiracy to ask the crime, it turned out to be waiting for him here.

Yong Kai immediately raised the spirit of 12 points, let Yong Lu and Meng Huo act first, each led an army of 1 people, and took the initiative to attack Huang Zhong in Cang County and Zhang Yun in Yue Yi County, and took the two bridgeheads of the Wei army. Unplug it.

Then he himself led the main force of 3 people to start from Yizhou County and attack Zhuti County to the north. The purpose was to take another fortress of the Wei Army in Zhuti County and close the gate of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

It's not that he doesn't know about Wei Jun's road construction these years, but he doesn't know how to stop it, and there are many internal things waiting for him to deal with.

He was waiting to unify the four counties in Nanzhong before he went to trouble the Wei people. As a result, there was not enough time. He finally learned from the rebellion of the gentry in central Shu that there seemed to be political turmoil in Wei. It was a good opportunity, so I decided to take the initiative.

But who would have thought that there was an inner ghost inside, and the news leaked out, and Man Chong and Le Jin knew about it, and his inner ghost was gone.

This made him feel very angry, but there was no way, the matter had come to this point, he could only act faster.

Fortunately, his many years of investment in the gold and yuan policy was not in vain. Traitors appeared around Zhu Bao and Gao Ding, and told Yong Kai about their conspiracy with Wei Jun. On the road, he still has hope.

After overthrowing Zhu Bao and Gao Ding, Yong Kai resolutely waited for the news of the Wei army's southern invasion. The Wei army came very quickly and decisively, and he was well prepared.

On February [-]th, the Wei army began to march.

On February [-]th, Meng Huo began to march tit-for-tat. Yonglu had built a fortification on the road that the Wei army must pass through, and was going to block the Wei army and prevent the Wei army from advancing any further.

chapter 1210 one thousand 120 Meng Huo started daydreaming

Within the scope of Nanzhong, Yong Kai and the others are indeed first-class warriors and first-class smart people.

But as the saying goes, there are mountains outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. No one dares to say that he must be better than everyone else.

It is not a difficult thing to be king and hegemony in Nanzhong, because there are few people and the level of civilization is low. Dong Zhuo can be regarded as a cultural person when he comes here, and Yuan Shu is a Wenqu star when he comes here.

Under the traffic jam, they fight each other all year round. Indeed, they are fierce, belligerent, and good at fighting.

But facing the Wei army who came out from the entire land of China to dominate the world, this level is completely different, and there is actually no comparison.

It is a wild land, but it gives people a feeling of fear. They always feel that the people living here are all vicious, the kind who cannibalize people and drink blood.

But if you think about it carefully, if these places are uncivilized, the level of development will be low, and the low level of development will mean low productivity. of.

Coupled with the traffic congestion, if you want to go out to grab something, you have to weigh whether you can come back. If you grab something, you don’t know how to run. This is completely different from the northern prairie.

They are indeed wild, brave and fierce, and have a sturdy folk style, but these are not synonymous with strength.

The strong pronoun is called discipline and organization.

One-on-one street fights, of course they are all good fighters, they fight very fiercely, the average Han people are really no match,

But fighting is a group effort, an action in which a group of people unite and cooperate with each other to achieve a strategic goal, and it is completely different from street fighting.

A group of people who are used to fighting in the nest suddenly have to unify to the outside world. Cohesion is very problematic. As for discipline, it is almost non-existent.

Facing the iron-like discipline of Wei Jun's corpses and blood, they were really vulnerable.

The reason why it was difficult for the Central Plains dynasty to conquer them was because of the inconvenient transportation and the harsh climate.

Put them on the plains to compete with the Han army, and the Han army will overwhelm them every minute without taking a big breath.

In response to the two major weaknesses of the Central Plains Dynasty, Mr. Guo began to build roads in the early years, improve traffic conditions, and ensure logistical supplies.

Wormwood can repel insects, and the fire oil tank can destroy the root of the miasma in Nanzhong.

Just set fire, this wet and humid place is not easy to burn, use a strong fire oil tank to burn, and burn one by one.

So facing the generous challenge from the [-] troops led by Meng Huo, Zhang Xi wondered if there was something wrong with this guy's head.

Something went wrong with the fight?

Seriously, Zhang He hasn't seen this kind of army for a long time——

There are various kinds of clothes, some wear iron armor, some wear clean and intact common clothes, some wear ragged clothes, and some people wear strange clothes decorated with grass or leaves or ropes.

There are all kinds of shoes, including cloth shoes, straw sandals, those with a piece of cloth wrapped around the feet, some with bare feet, and of course some with leather shoes.

There are also all kinds of weapons, different lengths, old and new, iron, bronze, bamboo and wooden sticks, and shields, iron, and shields made of bamboo and rattan.

People are different, tall, short, fat, and thin. Some people look fierce at first glance, and some people look like a hemp stick. It is impossible to imagine what fighting power they have.

They lined up crookedly, yelling incomprehensible chant, and some people looked around in confusion, as if they couldn't figure out why they were here.

Zhang He and the lieutenant beside him looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"Not to mention, not many years have passed, I feel that such an army is no longer visible, and whoever would have thought it would still see it."

The lieutenant nodded.

"What the general said is true. With such an army, it seems that Liu Zhang's army is better than them."

"is not that right."

Zhang Yun sighed: "Let's line up, the size is also a piece of meat, let's not fire the oil tank first, just shoot the arrows."

"As ordered!"

The lieutenant immediately clasped his fists and left.

Needless to say, Zhang Xi has heard for a long time that the people of Nanzhong are tough and everyone is very good at fighting. As a result, he took a closer look and decisively realized that no matter how strong and able to fight these gangsters in the street, they are not as good as him. on the army.

At the beginning of the battle, Meng Huo felt uncertain when he saw Wei Jun's distinctive armor and ranks, as well as the gleaming weapons and flying flags.

"I've heard for a long time that Wei's army has swept the world with invincible opponents. When I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were true. How can this be compared with that of Gao Ding? This battle is not easy to fight."

Meng Huo's younger brother, Meng You, was also deeply moved when he heard this.

"Brother, if the Wei army can sweep the world, I'm afraid it's not something we can drive down with 1 people. This Qiongdu County doesn't look so easy to get back. Should we retreat a little bit and ask the governor to support it? This way of fighting, the chances of winning are not very high.”

Meng Huo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, show weakness before the station is opened. Once you retreat, you will definitely be taken advantage of by the enemy. At that time, Wei Jun will shout that we are defeated. Do you think this group of people who got together temporarily will run away directly, or will they fight to the death with us? What the hell?"

Meng You blinked, feeling that Meng Huo was right.

Meng You only trusts the Meng family's own private armed forces, and when they get things done, they rely on their own armed forces, not this group of rabble.

"Then what should we do? Brother, when will the governor send troops to support him?"

"Send troops?"

Meng Huo shook his head: "He has dispatched [-] main forces to go northward. His goal is Zhuti County. Do you think he won't take it with him if he has more troops? He still has to guard the Dianchi Lake. Lu Kai attacked from behind, where can we get reinforcements?"

"That……"

"Let's take a look first. The Western Shu Wei army has not fought for several years. Wouldn't it be beautiful if they become unfamiliar and won't be able to fight?"

Meng Huo started daydreaming.

However, Meng You still thinks this daydream is quite reasonable.

"Brother is right."

So the two brothers decisively started a daydream-like challenge.

Faced with the challenge of this group of people, Zhang He didn't even feel interested in making a move on his own. He handed over the front line to the lieutenant general, and sat in the back to hold the line.

Then, Zhang He saw the black rain of arrows soaring into the sky, flying gracefully in the air, and then fell to where Meng Huo's army was.

Then there was a burst of people turning their backs and wailing.

The Wei army's arrow rain was dense and fast, and it was a continuous continuous fire attack. It was basically a life harvester against an army that was not fully protected by shields and armor.

Meng Huo himself and his personal guards had enough shields and armor, and they were able to hold their ground, block, and hold on to the dense arrow rain, but the others were different.

Those in ragged clothes went to the battlefield wearing cloth clothes or wrapped in a piece of cloth, holding wooden sticks or bamboo spears, and did not have iron weapons, not even bronze weapons. Facing the rain of arrows, they almost There is no way to protect yourself.

Being shot, shot to death, screaming, being driven by instinct to keep going back, keep going back, keep retreating, keep running away.

The entire formation was originally scattered, but now that it was hit by such a dense arrow rain, the mob immediately fled backwards, pushing and trampling each other. Killed up.

Seeing this scene, Zhang He shook his head directly, and ordered the lieutenant general commanding the front line to lead the whole army to attack.

Chapter 1211 One Thousand 120 One Yong Kai Wants to Get Shuzhong

With Zhang Yun's order, the Wei army stopped the arrow rain attack, and began to advance on a large scale, step by step. This is the most traditional and basic law of advancing an army formation.

In the face of such a group advance, Meng Huo's army did not have any effective resistance. They had already begun to collapse, and ran backwards frantically. In order to escape, they did not hesitate to kill a bloody road.

Kill a bloody path against your own people.

Relying on the protection of Meng's private soldiers, Meng Huo and Meng You were not in any danger, but their position was also attacked by the rout.

Meng Huo was stunned for a long time before he could react, but Meng took the lead in reacting, and quickly ordered the private soldiers to turn into a supervising team to stop these rout soldiers and let them charge forward.

"Stop them! Don't run! Don't run! Don't run! Go back! Go back!!"

Meng You shouted loudly, Meng's private soldiers swung the steel knife desperately, pushed the big shield forward, and tried their best to prevent the rout soldiers from escaping, but it was of no avail.

Then, the Wei Jun cavalry attacked.

A small number of cavalry began to chase the rout of Meng Huo's army, intending to rush directly to the front to intercept the escape route of this gang of mobs and wipe them out here.

Realizing this, the rout soldiers ran away even more frantically, pushing Meng Huo's private soldier group hard, and actually pushed them back step by step. Accidentally, a group of private soldiers fell to the ground, and Meng's private soldiers The formed defensive circle was also breached.

Meng Huo, who was riding on a horse, felt like a lonely rock, being pounded by the violent wind, torrential rain and fierce waves...

Accidentally, he fell off the horse, thanks to a group of private soldiers who protected him, otherwise, if he fell in such a frenzy of escape, he would be disabled even if he did not die.

But Meng Huo was lucky, but Meng You was not so lucky. The private soldiers around him were not strong enough, so he was knocked to the ground, and Meng You was also knocked to the ground.

Then, just for a moment, Meng You felt tens of thousands of feet violently trampling on any part of his body.

Legs, waist, belly, balls, chest, and even the head.

A stench and a smell of blood filled his nose and mouth.

Then Meng You just died like this.

After that, the cavalry of the Wei army moved forward quickly, forming a blockade line, cutting off the escape route of the rout soldiers, slashing with their sabers, and knocking down many people. The bag was round and eaten in one bite.

The whole battle was over in about an hour. The time for Meng Huo's army to resist or launch a counterattack is estimated to be only a few sticks of incense, and the rest of the time is spent fleeing and being killed.

When Zhang Yun stepped forward to watch, he saw the soldiers of Meng Huo's army who were killed or trampled to death by his own people all over the ground, and he realized why Guo Peng repeatedly emphasized the discipline of the army.

The discipline of the army is really important. Good discipline can enable the army to struggle to survive in adversity, and bad discipline can make the army overturned by the enemy in adversity.

Meng Huo obviously didn't understand this.

He was captured alive, and then looking at the messy corpse of his younger brother Meng You who was trampled in front of him, he fell into deep thought.

Why, did I lose so simply and completely?

Zhang Xi didn't give him a chance to figure out why, and directly ordered him to be taken down and beheaded.

His Majesty the emperor doesn't need the common surname of the place where he is alive, one counts as one, and he will be labeled as a traitor and killed cleanly.

His Majesty the Emperor wants a clean Nanzhong.

The statistics after the war came out quickly. Zhang Yun found that the Wei army did not die in battle, but more than 100 were injured. After paying such a price, what he got in return was the result of completely annihilating Meng Huo's [-] troops.

There is no doubt that this is a hearty victory.

Zhang He nodded in satisfaction, and then sent troops to the south.

Continue to the south, destroying the powerful manor along the way, conquering the county seat, beheading the local county magistrate, and annihilating local prominent figures.

Destroy the entire upper-level system of Nanzhong, leaving a loose grassroots, and then the Wei government will reshape the upper-level of Nanzhong society.

This is the most perfect government and annexation and assimilation, which can help the four counties of Nanzhong to return to the embrace of the motherland with the fastest speed.

The same is true for these captured people. Those who have military ranks, who have heads and faces, are all killed, and the rest can survive.

Zhang Yun gave an order, and Wei Jun began to move forward.
