The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Sun Jian looked at Liu Zheng suspiciously, wondering why Liu Zheng didn't let him pursue him.

"These barbarians are not weak, and they are even more poor in the mountains and forests. Moreover, although these barbarians retreated from Yiling County, the troops in the headquarters did not lose too much, and they are still capable of fighting. of."

"I don't want your soldiers and horses. There are too many casualties. Wait a little longer. Once Gan Ning's troops arrive, we will gather all our troops and fight back. I can't swallow this breath."

Of course Liu Zheng hated Ah Huinan and others to the bone, and he also didn't have the slightest affection for these people from the Xiongxi tribe. Understand your strengths and weaknesses.

Although he relied on 7000 people to kill [-] to [-] of the opponent's troops in this county, this was mainly because the barbarians like Ah Huinan were not good at attacking the city.

In a siege battle, only when you are at an extreme disadvantage will you suffer huge losses.

But once back in the mountains and forests, in addition to the mountains and forests of Wuling County, those barbarians are familiar with the terrain and are good at fighting in such terrain, Sun Jian's men and horses will definitely not occupy much. It's not good to go back and forth.

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Sun Jian finally understood some of the reasons behind it, and didn't say much. He just followed the order and didn't continue to lead people to pursue him. Instead, he led people to re-stabilize the situation in the city, appease the people, and build the city gate. , will temporarily regain control of Yiling County, which has suffered a lot of losses.

Liu Zheng returned to the temporary mansion, washed up briefly, and changed his clothes.

He also suffered a little injury. Although it was not a fatal injury, he still needed to rest.

However, Liu Zheng didn't have much time to rest at this time, because Liu Zheng still had to direct the overall situation. Soldiers died in battle, many soldiers died in battle, and one death or injury among those trapped in the camp represented the death or injury of a Qu Chief or a Tun Chief.

Liu Zheng was heartbroken.

The people and officers of the whole city held a funeral for this incident.

It was a noisy day.

Gan Ning's army finally arrived at Yiling County on the fourth day.

On the way here, Gan Ning had already heard the news from Jin Yiwei. He hurried, only brought a few hundred people with him, rode a few hundred horses under his command, and rushed to Yiling County. Come.

As soon as he heard that Liu Zheng was attacked, Gan Ning summoned him more than anyone else.

Under Liu Zheng, Gan Ning was a staunch supporter of Liu Zheng and one of the first battalion commanders under Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng also trusted him very much.

Arriving in Yiling County, after seeing that Liu Zheng was fine, Gan Ning was relieved, but immediately angrily planned to lead his own troops to kill the Xiongxi barbarian territory, intending to avenge Liu Zheng.

This time, Liu Zheng did not refuse.

However, to attack the Xiongxi Man, there must always be a plan, and one cannot attack blindly.

Liu Zheng told Gan Ning to wait a little longer.

With Liu Zheng's current strength, he is not yet absolutely sure of attacking the Xiongxi Man. He needs to send someone to communicate with Sha Moke at Youxi at this time.

Let Shamoke invite the men and horses of Lixi to come over to help with the fist together. After uniting with the soldiers and horses of Shamoke, Liu Zheng is very sure that he can directly disintegrate those Xiongxi barbarian tribes in this mountain forest.

News, as early as two days ago, Liu Zheng had already sent his Jin Yiwei to Sha Moke, and Xing Daorong was in charge of this matter. If you calculate the time, presumably, within these two days, there will be It worked out.

After all, Shamoke didn't have many people under his command. Even if he came to help him, he could only bring about [-] soldiers and horses. In addition, there were some people from Lixi. At most, Liu Zheng came from tribes like Shamoke. Among them, [-] to [-] reinforcements were obtained.

However, 4 to [-] reinforcements are enough for him, who has already mobilized [-] troops from other places.

A combined force of about [-] troops is enough for Liu Zheng to defeat the Xiongximan and Manximan tribes here in one fell swoop.

Three days later, Shamoke's men arrived at Yiling.

This time Shamoke really brought 2 people, and as Liu Zheng expected, Lixi also sent people, and brought 5000 people.

Including the more than 4 people here in Liu Zheng, the number has exceeded nearly [-].

Chapter 745

Xiongxi tribe.

Here is Ah Huinan who just fled back to his lair.

A few days ago, Ah Huinan breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his place. After he didn't take advantage of what he did in Yiling County this time, Ah Huinan was naturally very annoyed, but he didn't know what to do at this time. No time to be upset.

Because this time he has completely offended Liu Zheng, according to what he heard about Liu Zheng from Guo Shi, Liu Zheng must be a person who must take revenge.

Liu Zheng will definitely gather people to deal with him in a short time.

So Ah Hui was busy trying to find a way to deal with Liu Zheng's next revenge.

However, this is not too worrying for Ah Huinan. This is the territory of their barbarians. Although the people of their Xiongxi tribe lost a lot of manpower when they attacked Yiling, those who lost The people are all remnants of Guo Shi before Ah Huinan surrendered.

Ah Hui's own Xiongxi warriors didn't suffer many casualties, that is, more than ten thousand troops, and he was able to mobilize forty thousand troops on his own territory. In addition, Dong Tu of the Manxi tribe had already walked with him. The boat is on board. In order to deal with Liu Zheng's attack, Dong Tu must take it seriously. It is impossible to be perfunctory, so Dong Tu can also gather 3 horses.

Ah Huinan, who had an army of [-], didn't think that Liu Zheng's Han people could beat their barbarians in this deep mountain and old forest.

If it doesn't work, he will go west and join the barbarians in the 36th hole.

Of course, that was only a last resort. He still doesn't think that he will lose to Liu Zheng. After all, in Wuling County, they are barbarians, and they are the masters.

Liu Zheng did not let Shamoke's people join him directly, but kept some distance from Shamoke's people, and did not let Shamoke's people directly appear in the territory of the Xiongxi tribe. Liu Zheng himself led Sun Jian and Gan Ning's [-] troops directly attacked Xiongxi Man's territory from here.

The advance of the [-] army made a lot of noise, so naturally it couldn't be hidden from the eyeliner of the Xiongxi Man tribe here.

In the cottage, Ah Huinan had already received the news.

"Boss, something is wrong. Our spies have sent news that a large number of Han Chinese have appeared not far from our cottage, and these people have come straight to our cottage."

Ah Huinan's subordinates immediately came over to report the news to Ah Huinan after they heard the news.

When Ah Hui heard the news, he was not surprised, and there was not much panic on his face, as if this incident seemed to him to be too normal.

"I see, those people should be Liu Zheng's people. He is besieged by us, and he will definitely not let it go, so in a short time, he gathered people and came to attack us, but we are not afraid of him. How many people came?"

"Looking at the movement, there should be 4 to [-] people."

"What? Only 4 to 4 people? I thought he was so powerful. It turned out that there were only [-] to [-] people. With this little manpower, did he rush to attack our Xiongxi tribe? Haha, he, Liu Zheng, underestimated me too much. "

Ah Hui was still a little worried at first, but when he heard his subordinates say that Liu Zheng had only brought 4 to [-] thousand people, he laughed happily for a while.

Thirty to 4 people, in Ah Huinan's view, really don't pay attention.

Even if Liu Zheng doubled, with Ah Huinan's character, he didn't care at all.

After all, this is Wuling, the territory of the barbarians.

"It's true if you think about it. Although Liu Zheng claims to have an army of 20, it is impossible to deploy all his troops here to deal with us. He will always be stationed elsewhere."

"And in such a short period of time, even he can't mobilize too many soldiers and horses. Thirty to forty thousand should be the limit."

"With only 4 to [-] people, Liu Zheng dares to deal with us. He Liu Zheng is really arrogant. He didn't kill him last time. This time he sent him to our door, so we must take good care of it. Liu Zheng is killed here, and our plan can still be carried out."

Ah Hui murmured happily, got up from the seat, and walked out of the room directly, thinking of going directly to gather the people of his Xiongxi tribe to meet Liu Zheng for a while.

He sent someone to notify Dong Tu in Manxi, and he left the village directly with [-] troops from his own village.

On the Xiongxi side, the mountain road is winding, surrounded by mountains, jagged rocks, and a lot of vegetation.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, so Liu Zheng led [-] soldiers and horses, and slowly groped to the location of the Xiongxi tribe. Before he could get close, he was killed by A Huinan's men from the front.

The two sides met by a slightly flat stream.

The 2 people around Ah Hui made a monkey-like roar, and the sound echoed in the valley, far away.

"Hahaha, Liu Zheng, I was defeated in Yiling a few days ago, and now he is here to die. Are you impatient?"

Before Liu Zheng could speak, Ah Huinan had already yelled at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng was riding on the horse, with cold eyes, staring at Ah Huinan in the distance.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

"I originally wanted to get along well with these southern barbarian thieves and give them a chance to integrate into my Han Dynasty. Who would have thought that they would not want to be like us, but to be a beast. In this case , then let's respect their choice. Xingba, see the [-] troops."

"Saw."

"Help me kill these beasts!"

"The last will obey!"

Gan Ning already had a deep hatred for these barbarian thieves, just waiting for a word from Liu Zheng.

Now after hearing Liu Zheng's order, he immediately glanced at the army behind him, issued the order directly, and rushed towards the Xiongxi tribe with his troops.

Ah Hui saw that the other party didn't talk to him at all, didn't say a word, and went straight to his side.He was also a little taken aback, he wanted to taunt Liu Zheng and these Han people a few more words here.

Since the other party didn't give him a chance, Ah Hui didn't say much, and began to order his subordinates to fight against Liu Zheng's men.

It's just that these barbarian soldiers and horses did not directly charge on the battlefield and engage Gan Ning's men and horses head-on, but suddenly dispersed in a swarm and ran away into the mountains.

Since Gan Ning wanted to kill these Southern Man tribes, he naturally charged first, but after the enemy fled, he immediately went after them.

The terrain here is rough and not easy to walk. Those Nanban warriors ran to the side of the mountain, but they were familiar with the terrain and knew how to walk. After the soldiers under Gan Ning chased them, they couldn't catch up with those barbarian warriors who were familiar with the terrain.

7Chapter 16 Brute Forces

Originally, Gan Ning thought that his troops would win easily against the [-] enemy troops.

However, when the soldiers and horses of the two sides really fought, Gan Ning realized that something was wrong.

Those Xiongxi barbarian soldiers and horses took advantage of the terrain and played with Gan Ning's men in the palm of their hands, making Gan Ning's soldiers tired of running around, and did not fight head-on with Gan Ning's soldiers and horses at all.

After a while, the Xiongxi barbarians did not lose much, but Gan Ning's men were exhausted to death. Although not many died, their physical strength was exhausted. When their physical strength was exhausted, those males The Ximan warriors can easily counterattack.

Gan Ning didn't have many shooters, but most of them were brave and skilled infantry.

But in this kind of mountainous area, charging is useless at all, and they can't bring out their strengths. On the contrary, those Xiongxi barbarian warriors directly used arrows to shoot from a distance after drawing distance from Gan Ning's men. .

Gan Ning's soldiers, who were already at a disadvantage, immediately suffered more casualties after charging back and forth with the Xiongxi Man's soldiers, and the opponent's arrows would not recognize people.

After several rounds of shooting, Gan Ning's soldiers and horses were killed and injured immediately.

Gan Ning himself went to the field, leading his soldiers and horses to charge and kill on the battlefield.

But except for some barbarian warriors around him who were killed by him, the rest of the barbarian warriors didn't have many casualties at all.

At this moment, Liu Zheng also noticed something was wrong here.

Although he knew for a long time that these Nanman warriors would definitely occupy a great geographical advantage in fighting in the mountains of Wuling County, but Liu Zheng, who had no experience in fighting them, cautiously asked his generals to deal with Ah Huinan , still did not take any advantage.

Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also caused Gan Ning's men to lose a lot.

At this time, if Gan Ning's troops were allowed to continue to fight Ah Huinan's troops here, Gan Ning would suffer a great loss if the same troops were sent here, so Liu Zheng didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately let Sun Jian's troops also join the battle .

"Brother Wentai, Xingba's troops are not enough to deal with Ah Huinan's southern barbarians, so you go too. Be sure to use archers to deal with these southern barbarians."

Infantry fighting does not have an advantage here, and only shooters can have a greater advantage.

Most of Liu Zheng's shooters were under Huang Zhong's. It was a miscalculation not to let Huang Zhong come over this time. However, some of Sun Jian's men were shooters, and they could barely be used to deal with these southern barbarians.

After Sun Jian said Liu Zheng's order, he immediately took it.

Immediately, with 2 men under his command, he rushed towards Ah Huinan. With the help of Sun Jian, with so many troops joining the battle, the mountains and forests of this generation have become a fierce battlefield. are people.

At this time, Liu Zheng doesn't care about people like Ah Huinan. What he has to do is to destroy the Xiongximan's stronghold. As long as the stronghold is gone, even if those Xiongximan people are still there, they can only sleep in the wilderness and rebuild. Copycats also take a lot of work.

Liu Zheng brought his thousands of elites, regardless of the soldiers and horses who were fighting here, and directly led them to the direction of Xiongximan's cottage.

He had already found out where the Xiongximan's main stronghold was, and the current charge was to burn down the place where the Xiongximan lived.

When Liu Zheng's men rushed towards the main village, Ah Hui finally discovered Liu Zheng's purpose. He originally wanted to fight guerrilla warfare with Liu Zheng, but now that Liu Zheng went straight to the main village, Ah Hui murmured I'm still a little nervous, after all, it's my lair, if Liu Zheng breaks it, I won't lose face.

He hurriedly worried about his own manpower, and began to stop Liu Zheng's elite with all his strength, which made Ah Hui's men and Liu Zheng's men fight on the frontal battlefield.

These Southern barbarian soldiers are familiar with this area, and this head-to-head battle can be regarded as allowing Liu Zheng to truly see how powerful these Xiongxi barbarian soldiers are.

Individually speaking, these Southern barbarian soldiers are no worse than those soldiers under Sun Jian.

Some were even stronger, especially when fighting in such a place, they naturally had an advantage. The [-] Southern barbarian soldiers forcibly contended with Liu Zheng's [-] army, and in a short period of time, they did not lose.

Seeing that the charge was fruitless and unable to defeat these southern barbarian soldiers, Liu Zheng asked for money to withdraw his troops, and did not let Sun Jian and Gan Ning's troops continue to charge and make unnecessary sacrifices.

Originally, this time, Liu Zheng didn't intend to use his own soldiers and horses to directly fight the final battle with these Xiongxi barbarians. The people of Xixi and Wuxi are local Nanmans. With their help, it is easier to deal with these Xiongxi tribesmen, so Liu Zheng has no plan to rely on his own troops to destroy these Xiongxi tribesmen.

With the men and horses, they temporarily retreated and retreated a few miles. After both sides suffered some injuries.

Liu Zheng set up a big tent, and then invited Sun Jian, Gan Ning and other generals to discuss matters.

In the big tent, a dozen generals came in at once.

"Everyone, you have also seen the strength of these southern barbarians now. This is where they are cunning. Instead of fighting us head-on, they just blindly fight against us. How can we break this way of fighting?"

Both Gan Ning and Sun Jian were injured in this battle, but the injuries were not many. They each lost several thousand soldiers and horses, more than two thousand were killed and four thousand were injured.

Gan Ning's hatred for these southern barbarian soldiers became even stronger, and when Liu Zheng asked, he immediately stood up.

"My lord, these Nanman savages are really cunning. I'm so pissed off. I think, if you ask me, we directly used fire to attack and burn this mountain, and let those Nanman people directly burn them to death."

"Burn to death? Xingba, those people have legs and can run. It's not so easy to burn them to death."
