Chapter 415: Capturing Meng Huo and meeting the deer and horse
Fighting on the battlefield is not just a matter of free time.
In my free time, I pay attention to the points and finish them, so I pay more attention to skills.
But on the battlefield, you die or I die, so the victory or defeat often only happens in an instant.
Now look at the situation in front of the two armies, can't the winner be determined in an instant?
It is true that Zhao Yun had a good horse to help him, but there were more than a dozen enemy barbarians, and more importantly, Zhao Yun did not deliberately use the mobility of his war horse.
He completely relied on his superb riding skills and super strong arm strength to kill three enemy warriors in just a few breaths.
Zhao Yun's bravery fell in the eyes of his own army, which undoubtedly made the drums in the Han army's array louder and louder, and at the same time, their eyes looking at Zhao Yun became fanatical.
This is an era that worships heroes very much. How can Zhao Yun not be called a hero despite his bravery just now?
Compared with the rising morale of the Han army, the morale of tens of thousands of Yi troops was severely damaged. Even the remaining ten barbarian generals looked at Zhao Yun in shock and fear.
The barbarian generals who can come out to fight today are all famous hundreds of enemies in Nanzhong in the past, and these thirteen barbarian generals are all familiar with each other, and they have also fought with each other privately in the past.
The surviving barbarian generals all knew that the three dead barbarian generals were equal to them in terms of bravery.
But even their companions who were as brave as them were killed by Zhao Yun in a flash of lightning and flint like chopping melons and vegetables. So how many rounds could they survive under Zhao Yun's gun?
When this thought emerged in his mind, the emotion of fear was like wildly growing weeds, instantly filling the hearts of the ten surviving barbarians.
They are all the bravest men in the world, and King Mulu and Cave Master among them are also fierce generals who can fight tigers, but they are human after all, and as long as they are human, they will feel fear.
And once fear arises in the heart, no matter how brave you are, you won't be able to show much of it.
After Zhao Yun nailed the two barbarian generals, he decisively pulled out the spear nailed to the ground.
Under Zhao Yun's movements, the blood-colored spear was like a chain of souls rising slowly from hell.
Especially under the sunlight, the blood on the spear still gave off a faintly coquettish color.
As for the corpses of the two barbarian generals, who were as thick as bears, they were casually discarded aside like caterpillars that a child was tired of playing with.
Zhao Yun raised the spear in his hand again, and then he raised the spear with a determined look and rode his horse towards the ten surviving barbarians.
Zhao Yun's actions just now have already caused the fear in the hearts of the ten barbarian generals to rise rapidly.
Now that they saw Zhao Yun charging towards them again, they still had some fighting spirit left because of the fear in their hearts.
With the fear in his heart, before Zhao Yun could ride his horse and rush in front of the ten barbarian generals, the ten barbarian generals dispersed like birds and beasts and fled towards his own army quickly.
Barbarians are good at running.
The running speed of barbarians on the ground is no slower than that of ordinary war horses in a short period of time.
At this moment, in order to escape for their lives, these ten barbarians made full use of their "good running" talents.
But how could Zhao Yun give up the prey he got?
Even though the ten barbarian generals were fleeing towards the military formation of more than ten thousand Yi troops, in the eyes of Zhao Zilong, who was already boiling with fighting spirit, the mere ten thousand Yi troops were not enough to stop him.
Then, in the astonished eyes of the tens of thousands of Yi troops, the snow-white horse, driven by Zhao Yun, proudly raised its head and neighed, and then without hesitation, it flipped its hooves and charged towards the own army.
The fearless charge of the Silver Spear and White Dragon fell into the eyes of more than ten thousand Yi troops, giving them a very absurd illusion.
It seemed that the psychological pressure caused by this silvery figure was deeper than the pressure caused by the more than 10,000 Han troops on the opposite side.
However, Zhuge Liang, who has been observing the situation of the fighting generals, how could he give up this great opportunity in vain?
As Zhao Yun rode his horse towards the tens of thousands of Yi troops, the drums in the Han army's array became more intensive.
All of a sudden, the drums rumbled and the sound was so loud, it seemed like a god was urging the sky to strike down the earth.
This was the call for the Han army to charge.
Under the high and exciting drumbeats, the more than 10,000 Han troops who had been prepared for a long time, led by generals at all levels, strode towards the more than 10,000 Yi troops in front.
Although the marching speed of the more than ten thousand Han troops was not as fast as Zhao Yun's, it was not slow either.
When the sound of the striding footsteps of more than ten thousand Han troops mixed with the high-pitched drumbeats came into the formation of the Yi army, the already not tight formation of the more than ten thousand Yi troops became increasingly chaotic.
Fear and panic are often two emotions that depend on each other.
Just when many Yi soldiers were panicking and their formations began to become unstable, that silver-white figure had already leapt on horseback in front of the front line of the Yi soldiers.
When Zhao Yun was chasing down ten barbarian generals just now, except for the two barbarian generals who brought the cave master and King Mulu, they ran too fast, and the other barbarian generals had already fallen under Zhao Yun's spear.
And just when they brought the cave master and King Mulu and rushed into their formation in a panic, two pairs of snow-white horse hooves leaped high under the gaze of more than ten thousand Yi troops, like clouds floating in the sky.
.
But before the tens of thousands of Yi soldiers could finish admiring the beauty of the impure clouds, the four clouds in the sky seemed to turn into raging thunder, rapidly impacting down from high towards the ground where the tens of thousands of Yi soldiers were.
When the thunder hit the ground, a loud wailing sound sounded from the formations of the Yi army.
Where Zhao Yun's spear touched, there was no barbarian standing.
But Zhao Yun is not satisfied with the results he has achieved so far.
After the white dragon under his crotch gained a firm foothold in the Yi army's formation, Zhao Yun continued to drive the white dragon to charge left and right in the Yi army's formation, struggling to destroy the Yi army's already shaky defense line.
Zhao Yun dared to take the lead in charging into the formation of more than 10,000 Yi troops alone. It was not a decision made by a hot head.
The reason why Zhao Yun did this, in addition to his full understanding of his own force, was also because he had just observed:
After he killed several barbarian generals in succession, not only the morale of the more than 10,000 Yi troops was severely damaged, but also the Yi army's formation became scattered.
Even if there are ten thousand enemies trying to charge into battle alone, it is still extremely dangerous.
But under one situation, this behavior may be successful, and that is when the enemy's formation is disorganized.
And Zhao Yun knew that as long as he could rush into the enemy's formation and tear a hole in the enemy's defense line, the Han army would be able to achieve a great victory today.
Of course, even if the enemy's formation has become scattered, for ordinary generals, this situation is not enough for them to take risks alone.
But Zhao Yun is not an ordinary fierce general, he is Zhao Zilong, who was praised by Liu Bei as "full of courage".
Since you are brave, you should move forward without hesitation.
For Zhao Yun, it really doesn't take much energy to kill the numerous Yi soldiers who only have animal skins to protect their bodies.
As Bailong rushed left and right in the Yi army's formation, Zhao Yun kept waving the spear in his hand to harvest the lives of the Yi soldiers who were surrounding him one after another.
During each of Zhao Yun's sweeps, several Yi soldiers would be killed.
Between each of Zhao Yun's thrusts, several Yi soldiers were knocked down and flew away.
Zhao Yun's method of killing enemies is quite cruel, but the effect is very significant.
Soon, more and more corpses of Yi soldiers were piled up on the field in front of him.
Under his brave fighting, the Yi army's formation either had a crack or almost turned into a sieve.
Among the commanders of the Yi army, Meng Huo knew a bit about the art of war. Of course he knew that he could not let Zhao Yun continue to kill like this.
However, the Yi army lacked training and the concept of team combat.
In addition, with a god general like Zhao Yun turning into a sharp blade to stir up life and death in the Yi army's array, how could Meng Huo organize the Yi army to set up a new line of defense?
At this time, Meng Huo really wanted to give himself a slap in the face.
What kind of general does a good fight mean?
Even as Gao Ding continued to order the Yi army to besiege and kill Zhao Yun, the Yi army's defense line became even more porous.
At this moment, more than 10,000 Han troops' advance troops had arrived in front of the Yi army's formation.
The front troops of the Han army looked at the Yi army's defense line, which was full of holes, and the fighting spirit in their eyes became more and more intense.
This was the first time most of the Han army had seen such a vulnerable defense line in their lives.
The front troops of the Han army did not hesitate at all. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they quickly rushed towards the Yi army in front of them like a huge surging wave.
The fragile defense line of the Yi army was completely torn apart by this huge wave in an instant, and then countless Han troops rushed into the chaotic array of the Yi army.
The Yi troops behind the defense line were unprepared. Most of them continued to attack Zhao Yun, but now groups of Han troops armed with sharp swords appeared behind them.
When the war reached this point, there was no doubt about it.
Except for a small number of Yi troops who still insisted on fighting with the Han army, most of the Yi troops immediately had the idea of escape when they saw a large number of Han troops approaching them.
When a large number of Yi troops fled towards the rear in a hurry, the entire Yi army formation exploded in front of the Han army like a foam illuminated by the scorching sun.
At this time, the rear army of the Han army had also arrived.
So under Zhuge Liang's order, more than 10,000 Han troops turned into a huge arrow and pursued closely behind many Yi troops.
During the Han army's pursuit of the Yi army, many Yi soldiers died under the sharp blades of the Han army. The land outside Bodao County gradually became filled with a red color.
But the saying that barbarians are good at running is not nonsense. Especially when facing a critical moment of life and death, many Yi soldiers gradually distanced themselves from the Han army as if their potential was stimulated.
Seeing this situation, Zhuge Liang knew that it was unrealistic to annihilate all the more than 10,000 Yi troops here today.
So he retreated and did the next best thing, letting the Han army continue to pursue the situation and not giving the fleeing Yi army in front any chance to breathe.
The reason Zhuge Liang did this was that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and capture the Yi army's camp outside Bodao County.
As Zhuge Liang expected, many Yi troops did not dare to stay after escaping back to their own camp because the Han army was pursuing them from behind.
The Yi army decisively abandoned their camp and continued to flee toward the mountains behind the camp.
Now for many Yi soldiers, there is no safer place than the mountains.
Because many Yi soldiers gave up on their own initiative, the pursuing Han army quickly captured the Yi army camp and obtained a lot of food, grass and baggage.
Of course, the Han army also captured many family members of the Yi army, including Meng You who was punished by Zhuge Liang yesterday and had been lying on the couch.
What surprised the Han army was that while capturing Meng You, they also captured a big shot, and this big shot was Meng Huo.
The reason why Meng Huo was captured by the Han army was not that he could not run fast enough, but that he could not bear to leave Meng You behind and run for his life alone.
When Zhuge Liang just arrived at the Yi army camp, he saw a strong man with colorful brocade feathers on his head and a look somewhat similar to Meng You being escorted in front of him.
Zhuge Liang learned of Meng Huo's identity after being reported by a general.
And Meng Huo also learned the identity of the extraordinary man standing in front of him.
But even as a prisoner, Meng Huo still looked arrogant after seeing Zhuge Liang, as if he was the winner now.
Facing Meng Huo's arrogance, Zhuge Liang knew Meng Huo's influence in Nanzhong, so he did not blame Meng Huo.
Zhuge Liang just said to Meng Huo: "Now that you have been defeated and captured by me, please surrender!"
Regarding Zhuge Liang's offer to surrender, Meng Huo said unconvinced: "I am willing to surrender only if I am convinced. You can capture me today because I care about brotherhood. It is not your ability. How can I be convinced?"
Seeing that Meng Huo was still acting arrogant after being captured, Yang Yi beside Zhuge Liang was furious and immediately wanted Meng Huo to be taken away and beheaded.
However, Yang Yi's move was stopped by Zhuge Liang.
Meng Huo's dissatisfaction did not make Zhuge Liang angry. He just ordered his soldiers to untie Meng Huo in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
Then Zhuge Liang said to Meng Huo: "If you don't accept it, I will let you go back and fight you again one day."
After saying this, Zhuge Liang really asked the Han army behind him to move out of the way.
Zhuge Liang's actions not only surprised the Han generals in the tent, but also Meng Huo was shocked.
But faced with the opportunity to escape, Meng Huo would not give up in vain. He quickly helped Meng You up and walked out step by step.
After walking out of the Yi army camp, Meng Huo looked at the Han troops around him who were eyeing him, but never made a move against him. Because of the confusion in his heart, he subconsciously looked away at where Zhuge Liang was.
Zhuge Kongming, what kind of person are you?
But when this kind of doubt arose in his mind, what even Meng Huo himself didn't notice was that he already had some admiration for Zhuge Liang in his heart.
After Meng Huo left, Zhuge Liang just smiled and said:
"It would be unwise to let the tiger return to the mountain, but Meng Huo is at most a lynx with ears!"
Seeing that Zhuge Liang looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand, even though the generals had some doubts in their minds, they didn't think too much about it.
Yesterday, Zhuge Liang promised Meng Huo to fight, and they were also very confused. However, today's development can clearly see that Zhuge Liang's decision was not wrong.
In this case, I think the prime minister must have had deep considerations in letting Meng Huo go today.
After giving a brief explanation to the generals, Zhuge Liang said to Yang Yi: "Clean the battlefield as soon as possible. I will write a letter of victory and report it to the court."
After hearing Zhuge Liang's instructions, Yang Yi accepted the order and retreated with a happy face.
Not only Yang Yi's face was filled with joy, but also the faces of other Han generals.
Today they achieved a victory.
And this victory is very crucial to the current situation of the Han Dynasty.
This victory proved one thing - the Han army is absolutely capable of quelling the rebellion in Nanzhong!
Thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang had just used his wisdom to win a battle against the Nanzhong rebels.
As for Mi Yang in Liangzhou, he did not do nothing.
At the end of Zhang Wu's second year, Mi Yang led a group of close associates to visit a person outside Mianyang County.
This person is Ma Chao, the Han cavalry general.
