"Old Cave Master, those Han people are indeed powerful. When we waited for the cave master Zhu Rong to come, we saw Cave Master Zhu Rong sitting on the main seat, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Zhurong Cave Master said how powerful Taitian was, but he didn't believe it, thinking that it was Zhurong Cave Master's excuse for defeat. But in today's battle, King Duosi couldn't help but believe it. There were also about 100,000 soldiers and horses. , although their troops were a temporary combination of two caves, Taitian's troops were also Yue Yi troops that had just surrendered, and they had shortcomings, but Taitian was able to defeat them in one fell swoop, which already explains a lot of problems." Zhu Rongni?" Cave Master Zhu Rong nodded. Not to mention having equal strength, the two of them went out together and were defeated by Tai Tian. Cave Master Zhu Rong was not surprised. He scanned the crowd, but did not find Mrs. Zhu Rong's figure. I was suddenly shocked.
"Miss, she brought an army of soldiers and horses to kill the rear. If it hadn't been for miss, I'm afraid we would have been beaten into pieces. After all, they are Mrs. Zhurong's elders, and the soldiers and horses are also It's all theirs, but it's really unreasonable to leave one Mrs. Zhu Rong behind.
It’s just that the situation at that time was too complicated. As soon as they retreated, Qin Tian pressed the entire army up. The two men and horses were temporarily combined. The problem was not obvious during the battle, but when the retreat order was given, chaos immediately broke out. There was so much noise that they couldn't stop shouting. If it weren't for Mrs. Zhu Rong, both of them would have lost their lives now. "What? You left my sister alone behind to break up the queen!?" Cave Master Zhu Rong has not said anything yet. , brought the cave master, but he was already anxious. He stood up suddenly, grabbed King Duosi by the collar, and said angrily.
"Bring it, what are you doing! The lady wants to keep it herself." King Duosi's face turned red, but he couldn't refute it, and said sullenly. "Brother, don't be reckless!" Mrs. Zhu Rong's figure appeared at the door, looking at After seeing the situation in the account, he quickly shouted loudly.
"Little sister? You're back!" The cave master who brought him looked back and saw Mrs. Zhu Rong's blood-stained robe, panting slightly, causing a pair of stalwarts on her chest to beat continuously, forming a seductive picture, but At this moment, no one has the intention to appreciate it. "Yeah." Mrs. Zhu Rong nodded, and then said bitterly:
"One hundred thousand troops, one... gone!"
Everyone in the tent couldn't help but fell silent for a while after hearing this. Thinking about how they were so high-spirited before, but now a hundred thousand troops were defeated. Cave Master Zhu Rong shook his head: "It's good to come back safely!"
"Old Cave Master, Qingtian's army has not retreated yet, and is now fighting outside the camp!" A young Cave Master walked in hastily and said in a deep voice.
"That's too much!" King Midang snorted, holding a knife in his hand, and said sternly: "I'll go meet them."
"No, now Qingtian City's troops are in full swing, don't confront them head-on!" Meng Huo on the side was shocked and said quickly.
It's just that King Mi Dang is so angry now that he can't listen to it. He suddenly lost 50,000 troops, which is a big loss for his cave. The Zhurong Dong family has great achievements and is the best in the Southern Barbarians. It's only two There are over a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and King Midang only has two small cave masters. Even if he puts in all his efforts, it is already good to raise an army of one hundred thousand. Now that he has lost fifty thousand at once, how can he swallow this sigh of relief?
"Stop him!" Zhurong Cave Master grunted. Under Zhurong Cave, the two cave masters started to hold back King Mi Dang.
"It's gone, it's all gone!" King Midang struggled hard, but was helplessly dragged by the other two cave masters. He couldn't help but let out a roar of grief and anger, and two lines of tears slowly fell down the corners of his eyes.
The other big cave masters around felt a sense of sadness for no reason, and suddenly a feeling of sadness arose. One of the eight caves of the Southern Barbarians, the cave of King Mi Dang, at the middle and lower levels, could have imagined that it would be damaged in just one battle.
King Midang has nearly half of his troops, and although Tulong Cave is stronger, the loss of 50,000 people cannot be replenished in a short time.
"Midang, don't worry, this matter started because of me, Zhurong Cave. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to occupy your cave at this time, even if you don't want Zhurong Cave, I will protect you!" Zhurong Cave Master sighed.
He said in a tone, then his face became solemn, and he glanced at the people around him with sharp eyes. "Thank you, Old Wang!" King Midang was startled, and then nodded. He was indeed worried about this. Now his strength has been greatly reduced, not to mention the other six
In the Big Cave Mansion, even the two little cave masters under his command could not guarantee that they would have second thoughts. .
"Now is not the time to talk about this, how to deal with Qingtian City's army?" Cave Master Zhurong shook his head. In the final analysis, this matter happened because of him, and all the cave masters came because of him.
"How about we retreat?" The unknown cave master whispered.
The eight major caves and twenty-one caves of the Nanman have now been divided into the three caves of Zhurong, Tulong, and Midang. In addition, the two armies of Yue Yi and Yongchang have surrendered to Taitian. Now the gap in the strength of the two sides is not obvious. Now
, everyone has believed in Taitian's strength and no longer has any contempt for him. Therefore, no one thinks they can defeat Taitian even if their troops are waiting.
"We can't retreat!" Meng Huo was startled and stood up quickly and said:
"Now Qingtian has soldiers and horses under his command, including Yue Yi people, Han people and even us barbarians. Now that our eight caves are gathered here, the southern barbarian soldiers and horses may not be willing to listen to Qingtian's orders, but if we retreat, wouldn't it be a disguised admission of defeat?
Once the momentum is lost, the soldiers of our clan who have joined Qingtian will definitely fall to the side of Qingtian City. Moreover, if we can't stop Qingtian City with our combined efforts, in the future, the cave masters will separate and fight on their own, who can stop Qingtian City?
?”
"Then what do you think, how to defeat the enemy?" King Mi Dang was in a bad mood. He snorted coldly and looked at Meng Huo with an unkind look. His men and horses had been crippled and they needed to go back to regain their strength. They were gone if they stayed here.
significance.
"We might as well retreat to Tulong Cave and rely on the geographical advantage to defend." Meng Huo thought for a while and realized that he really had no choice. Night attack? That is the favorite thing of the Han people, so how could they be unprepared? A forceful attack is not feasible, and the remaining
Yes, there is only passive defense.
Tulong Cave is the same as King Midang's cave, in terms of strength, it is below average, but the difference is that the terrain around Tulong Cave is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and most importantly, Taitian's terrain for the Nanman is limited to Zhurong Cave
In this area, beyond Zhurong Cave, other places need to be explored again.
Moreover, there are only two roads into Tulong Cave. One is the main road from the northeast. The terrain is flat, the soil is thick and the water is sweet, so people and horses can do it. However, if you only need to use wood and rocks to cut off the road, no matter how many soldiers and horses the opponent has, they will not be able to get through.
The other direction is to the southwest, with narrow roads, dangerous mountains, and many poisonous insects and beasts. Every evening, the smog rises greatly and does not dissipate until noon. More importantly, there are four poisonous springs on this road.
One is the Dumb Spring, the spring water is sweet, but if a person drinks it, he cannot speak, and if he cannot find the antidote, he may become mute in the least, or die in the worst case; the second one is called the Miequan, and the spring water is highly corrosive.
Sex, when splashed on people, will unknowingly corrode people's skin and cause skin ulcers. If you drink it, you will immediately suffer from intestinal rupture: The third spring is called Black Spring. The spring water is clear, but it has...
It has strong toxicity: the fourth eye is called Rouquan. The water is cold and pleasant. If people drink it, there will be no problems for a while, but it will slowly corrode the human nervous system, making people unconsciously drink it.
Sleep paralysis.
There is nothing better than using Tulong Cave as a defense. If the enemy doesn't know what to do, they may lose a large number of troops without realizing it.
Everyone present here are all Southern Barbarian leaders, and they have all heard about the dangerous terrain of Tulong Cave. They couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this, and they all looked at the master of Zhurong Cave.
"Okay, just do as Meng Huo said, we will have a showdown with Qingtian's army in Tulong Cave!" After discussing with several barbarian kings, Zhu Rong Cave Master finally nodded and approved Meng Huo's method. At the same time,
Meng Huo also officially entered the eyes of these southern barbarian overlords.
After agreeing on the strategy, Cave Master Zhu Rong took Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhu Rong and the other seven cave masters out of the camp. After working together to push back Taitian's Yue Yi troops, they immediately began to pack their bags, each with their own troops, leaving behind a
Empty the camp and retreat to Tulong Cave.
"stop!"
On the way back, Taitian suddenly waved his hand and shouted sternly. A group of Yue Yi soldiers and horses stopped in confusion. Taitian shook his head secretly. After all, he had never experienced formal training. In terms of military discipline, he was far inferior to the regular army in enforcing orders and prohibitions.
"Lord, what's the matter?" Yue Xi came running with several barbarian generals on horseback.
"There's something wrong." Taitian frowned.
"Isn't that right?" Yue Xi looked at Tai Tian in confusion, not knowing why.
"Let's go back!" Qin Tian suddenly turned his horse around and ran towards the Nanman camp first. Although Yue Xi and others didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to neglect. They quickly organized their troops and horses, and followed Tai Tian back.
When Taitian's men and horses broke through the Nanman camp, they saw only an empty camp. Several horses were hung upside down on drums, kicking their front hooves continuously, making a rumble sound.
"What is this? Hanging horses and playing drums?" Taitian sneered, but his face didn't look very good.
"My lord, the firewood is still hot, so I haven't gone far yet. Do you want to pursue me?" Yue Xi took off an extinguished torch, reached out and touched the top of the torch, feeling the temperature on the torch, and said quickly.
"No need. Firstly, we are not familiar with the terrain going north. Secondly, our army has fought two battles in a row today and is already exhausted. Even if we catch up, we will be looking for trouble." Taitian shook his head and sighed as he looked at the high mountains in the north.
Tone, the success is not enough. I originally wanted to solve it here, but I didn't expect that I would have to go deep into the Southern Barbarians.
"These southern barbarians are really cunning!" Yue Xi spat fiercely towards the north.
"The way to use military force is to use false and true tactics. We are allowed to use tactics, but others cannot use them? This doesn't make sense. Clean up and go back to camp!"
Qin Tian shook his head and laughed. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was interesting. He didn't say much at the moment and led his troops back to Duzun City.
