Rebirth of the Southern Barbarian Meng Huo

Yuan Shao had a counselor named Shen Pei.

This person is not a monk and cannot use battle formations to fight the enemy, but he has always been thinking about how to destroy the threat of Dao soldiers. If Yuan Shao didn't love his talent, he would have not used it long ago. Even Yuan Shao does not believe that mortals can defeat Dao soldiers.At one point, Yuan Shao used his Taoist soldiers to fight against Shen Pei's sergeants. Naturally, Shen Pei lost the fight.Even so, Shenpei did not give up.When the Battle of Guandu began, Shen Pei led [-] sergeants among Yuan Shao's army.

When Zhang Liao faced off against Zhang Jia, and Xu Chu faced off against Gao Lan, Shen Pei knew that the opportunity was coming, and he wanted to use his mortal soldiers to defeat the Taoist soldiers of Cao and Meng's alliance.

The big sleeves were waved, and the ten thousand sergeants mixed in Yuan Shao's army immediately began to move.Each of them opened the arrow pot behind them, and sharp arrows appeared in the hands of the sergeants. They were about to string the arrows.

What shocked Cao Cao and Meng Huo was the sharp arrow hidden in Yuan Shao's soldiers.

If it weren't for Xiahou Dun's sharp eyesight, I don't know how much damage he would have suffered.

It turns out that the bows and arrows are unusual, they are broken crossbows.

Po Gang, as the name suggests, is a strong bow and arrow that breaks the solid Qi.

Strictly speaking, only monks in the Hedan realm can be considered monks in the true sense. The visualization realm and true energy realm under the Hedan realm are only a little stronger than ordinary people, and are far from the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth that a monk should have. able.

When the true energy realm is completed and the true energy is solidified, it can be called Gang.

There is a kind of bow and arrow called Po Gang Nu, which can break the Gang Qi and severely damage the True Qi Realm monks.

Only the true energy turned into mana can resist the Po Gang Crossbow.

It's just that the Dao soldiers who formed the battle formation were far from reaching the Hedan realm.There was simply no mana available.

If the [-] archers were allowed to take action, I'm afraid the Taoist soldiers would be damaged even if it didn't take a moment. The Taoist soldiers of the Cao and Meng coalition were not as good as Yuan Shao, and there would be huge casualties.There is no need to fight this battle.

It was not until this moment that Cao Cao and Meng Huo realized how terrifying the archers were.

Suddenly, Meng Huo thought of borrowing arrows from a straw boat. It turned out that archers could also decide the direction of the war.

So Cao Cao and Meng Huo immediately commanded the army to attack.

Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong to fight because Xiahou Dun's three thousand soldiers could hide their traces for a short time. As for Cao Hong's three thousand soldiers, they were purely used as living targets to attract the Pogang Crossbow.

The only thing Meng Huo could damage was probably Meng Ling's ghost soldiers.

Seeing Cao and Meng's coalition troops rushing in regardless of their lives.The judge sneered and ordered: "Shoot!"

"Woooooooo..." The sound of the Pogang Crossbow tearing through the air came.

"Ah!" Cao Hong's three thousand troops screamed in an instant, and almost all of them died.

Xiahou Dun's three thousand troops were relatively good and were not captured.The casualties were not too serious.

Meng Ling's ghost soldiers, on the other hand, suffered heavy damage.

It seemed that Shen Pei had expected that Meng Ling's ghost soldiers would come forward. The Po Gang Nu not only had the effect of breaking away the Gang Qi, but also enhanced the means of destroying evil. After a wave of sharp arrows, at least three thousand ghost soldiers died in the Po Gang Nu. under.

"Shoot!" Shen Pei shouted again.The second wave of sharp arrows came. What is meant by arrows raining down? This is exactly what happened.

The casualties continued, but fortunately, Cao and Meng Daobing were given time to retreat.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

Cao Cao and Meng Huo were ordered to retreat.

How could Yuan Shao give up such an opportunity.Drive troops to cover up and kill.

In the first battle of Guandu, the coalition forces of Cao and Meng were defeated and returned.They had to rely on the Guandu Fortress to defend it, and only this kind of fortress could stop Po Gangnu.

After returning to Guandu, the coalition forces of Cao and Meng suffered heavy losses.Five thousand soldiers under Cao Cao were killed or injured, and [-] ghost soldiers under Meng Huo were reduced to ashes.

And this is not to mention the low morale. As a Taoist soldier, he was killed by a mortal bow and arrow, and his morale fell to the bottom for a while.

Cao Cao defended the north of Guandu and tried to leave the city several times to fight, but was forced back by the archers of Shenpei.

Meng Huo seemed to be self-aware, and he stood firm to the south of the city and did not fight.

For more than ten days, Yuan Shao sent [-] troops to build a series of mountains outside Guandu City. They fired arrows and made Cao Cao and Meng Huo suffer a lot.

In Cao Cao's military camp, facing the generals, Cao Cao was furious and shouted: "If this continues, the three armies will lose all their spirit. How can we fight again!"

The generals did not expect such a result, and the Taoist soldiers had no place to use them.All the generals who had always thought that Taoist soldiers were the ones that determined the outcome of the war were at a loss. However, as a counselor, Liu Ye stood up and said, "Why not treat the other person with his own way?"

"It's too late to make bows and arrows now." Xiahou Dun said, but Cao Cao's army did not make bows and arrows at all.

Liu Ye added: "It will definitely be too late to forge the bow and arrow, and the stone cart will be driven in reverse."

Cao Cao thought so, and immediately ordered his soldiers to collect hundreds of large chariots, which were modified by Liu Ye. Three days later, hundreds of stone chariots were distributed in the camp, facing the Tushan Cloud Ladder where Yuan Shao's army was located.

Although Meng Huo was in the camp, Meng Huo said to the generals: "I should have thought of this a long time ago. It was my misstep that led to the bitter consequences today!"

"My lord, you don't have to blame yourself. It's all down to us practicing for a long time and forgetting about human methods. The fault is not my lord's fault," Pang De said.

Meng Huo said: "Actually, I should have thought of it earlier and made a repeating crossbow." Speaking of the repeating crossbow, Meng Huo couldn't help but think of his little senior sister. Meng Huo didn't just steal the wooden cow and the flowing horse from Huang Yueying. The production method of the crossbow was even secretly learned from the production principles of the crossbow, and these were Huang Yueying's toys at the beginning.But little did he know that the toys of the past had become weapons of war.

Guo Jiaze said: "Lian Nu will be built again in the future. My lord, I see that Cao Cao has already built a stone chariot. We can also imitate it."

Meng Huo nodded and said: "You can imitate it, but you don't need to use a stone chariot. If you want to build a thunder chariot, wouldn't it be better to shoot fireballs?"

"Fireball?"

"Use oil as fuel." Meng Huo explained.

All the generals were shocked and shocked by Meng Huo's generosity.Oil, that is a precious thing.At that time, there was no such thing as vegetable oil or petroleum. The so-called oil was actually fat, which was animal oil.Everyone also knows that grease can burn, but they have never thought of using it as fuel.

"Everything is for victory." Meng Huo said.

The generals were silent, so they started searching for oil.Start making fireballs.

The advent of the stone chariot and the thunderbolt chariot finally blocked the attack of Yuan Shao's army, especially the thunderbolt chariot of Meng Huo's side.Every time a fireball attacked the mountain, many soldiers were set alight.

Gein, that fireball is made of grease. When it is ignited, it burns from the inside. Once it collides, it will explode. In an instant, the fireball will splash everywhere. Some soldiers will die and be burned alive.

As a last resort, Yuan Shao's army had to retreat down Tushan.Set up camp thirty miles away from Guandu.

The two sides have been in a stalemate for nearly two months.There was fighting at the beginning of August and the stalemate was still going on at the end of September.No matter what period, as long as there is a war, there will be great consumption and weapons consumption.War horses were consumed, manpower was consumed, financial resources were consumed, and the biggest consumption at that time was food and grass.

Cao Cao also implemented the farming system.Even these Dao soldiers were common people in the past and needed to grow food. They would only fight in wartime, but they had been fighting with Yuan Shao for the past two or three years.There is no intention of farming at all.Moreover, Taoist soldiers need to practice, and their appetite is astonishing.For two people, Cao Cao's food and grass were slightly insufficient.Cao Cao has already begun to intend to retreat and wants to return to Xudu and stick to it.

Before retreating.Cao Cao still asked Xun Yu, a counselor who was far away in Xudu.

Xun Yu wrote, asking Cao Cao to borrow grain from Meng Huo while he held on.

For the past ten years, Meng Huo has been stationing troops in Hanoi and has abundant food and grass.

So Cao Cao met Meng Huo.

When he learned about Cao Cao's intention, Meng Huo immediately said: "Pass it to Han Hao."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, but he knew who Han Hao was. Han Hao was not only the founder of the farming system, but also the quartermaster of Meng Huo's army.

Han Hao arrived and saluted Meng Huo: "My lord."

Meng Huo nodded to Han Hao and said: "Yuan Si, the Prime Minister's army is short of food. How much food is left in the warehouse? How much can I borrow from the Prime Minister?"

Han Hao nodded, took out an account book from his arms, checked it for a while and said: "There are still ten thousand shi of grain in the warehouse. I can borrow three thousand shi from the prime minister."

"Three thousand stones." Cao Cao still frowned.

Meng Huo said: "Yuan Si, please lend the prime minister seven thousand stones. Yuan Shao's grain and grass are far away in Wuchao, so he must transport the grain here, so I will just rob him of his grain and grass."

As soon as Meng Huo said this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.Immediately said: "National Master, can I rob food with you?"

Meng Huo nodded and said, "Of course, you and I have the same goal."

"Okay!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, "I wonder who will take command, you or me..."

"The prime minister can preside over it, and Xu Chu, the tiger idiot under his command, can accompany him," Meng Huo said.

"Okay, I'll take half of the food and share it with the imperial army." Cao Cao was overjoyed.

Immediately after Cao Cao left, Xu Chu was ready to go out with Cao Cao's generals to plunder food and grass.On the same day, Cao Cao got the information about Yuan Shao's food shipment, and immediately Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Shi Huan and others robbed the food and grass escorted by Han Meng, totaling [-] shi.

When Yuan Shao heard that the grain and grass had been robbed, he was furious and took it to heart. He sent a judge back to Yanzhou to supervise the grain. He also ordered General Chunyu Qiong to help Yuan Shang guard Wuchao and not allow any mistakes in grain and grass.

Cao Cao robbed food and grass once and solved the problem for ten days, but soon he ran out of food and grass.I wanted to rob the food again, but still couldn't.As a last resort, Cao Cao sent another letter to Xudu, urging Xun Yu to supervise the provision of grain and grass.

It happened that a counselor under Yuan Shao, Xu You, also known as Ziyuan, hijacked the letter written by Cao Cao to Xun Yu. He immediately came to see Yuan Shao and said: "Cao and Meng Tun Jundu have been at odds with me for a long time. Xuchang will be empty; if it is divided into two parts, it will be empty." If the starry army attacks Xuchang at night, Xuchang can be evacuated, and Cao Cao and Meng Huo can be captured. Now that Cao Cao has run out of food and grass, we can take the opportunity to attack him from two directions."

Yuan Shao was worried about Cao Cao's tricks and did not listen to Meng Huo's lack of food and grass. He was afraid that there might be fraud, so he did not send troops.And soon after reviewing the letter, it showed that Xu You was an old friend of Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was frightened and wanted to kill Xu You. If he hadn't been worried about killing soldiers before the battle, Xu You would have been killed and moved away.

Feeling regretful for a moment, Xu You abandoned Yuan Shao and went to Cao Cao under the persuasion of his surroundings.

Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised by Xu You. He knew what his old friend was capable of, and Xu You used to be Yuan Shao's adviser. He must know Yuan Shao's shortcomings and defeat Yuan is just around the corner.

And Xu You did not disappoint Cao Cao. When Cao Cao asked about Yuan Da's plan to defeat him, Xu You said: "Yuan Shao's army has a heavy supply of food and supplies, and they have all accumulated black nests. Now, Chunyu Qiong is ordered to help his son Yuan Shang guard it. Qiong is addicted to alcohol and is unprepared. Shang is so happy that he will succeed and plan for it. According to direct descendants, it is not difficult to defeat these two! But if Yuan Shao is short of food and grass and his army of one million cannot hold on for three days, he will destroy himself without a fight!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this. As for how to defeat Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Shang, Cao Cao needs to make plans.Chun Yuqiong's alcoholism is destined to cause trouble, but Yuan Shanghao's great success is difficult to defeat.But within three days, news came that Yuan Shang personally led [-] troops out of Wuchao and went to the Baima area to hunt down an elusive sergeant.
