Chapter 855 The Southern Barbarian Crisis (Updated From Last Night)

On the battlefield that was ambushed by the Shu Han army, Guan Yu withdrew his sword, and there were corpses scattered all over the battlefield.

Meng Ba's tribal army was defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Because Qin Liangyu repeatedly defeated the Shu Han army in the mountains and forests, the Nanman tribe underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Shu Han army, and at the same time underestimated the abilities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

As long as you meet a suitable military adviser, you can give full play to the abilities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Correspondingly, if Liu Bei did not have a suitable military adviser, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would command the army, and the results may not be so great.

They need a military division to create fighters, and then rely on their force to achieve results.

"The tribes of the Southern Barbarians are nothing more than mediocrity. The only ones who are difficult to deal with are Qin Liangyu and Wang Zhongsi who came from the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

In this battle, Guan Yu beheaded more than a dozen generals of the Nanman tribe, large and small, and once again shocked Nanzhong.

In Meng Ba's tribe, more than 7,000 Nanman soldiers died in battle, and the rest of the soldiers all fled.

Soldiers from other tribes either died or fled.

"This time, the second and third brothers have made great achievements in battle. Even if they are generals, no one will think that the elder brother is partial."

Liu Bei and a group of generals arrived, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's meritorious service.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's status in Liu Bei's forces is so high that they also need military merit to support them, otherwise other generals will have criticisms.

"Brother, we are less than a hundred miles away from Dianchi Lake. Even if there are mountains and forests blocking it, it will only take two or three days. Second brother and I will capture Dianchi Lake and help eldest brother achieve his great cause."

Zhang Fei had a great time fighting here, swept away the haze of being attacked by Qin Liangyu, his confidence soared, and he wanted to capture Dianchi Lake and completely pacify Nanman.

Mu Ke has been operating in Dianchi Lake for many years. Many free players live in this city, with a population of over one million, and it is also the most important main city of Mu Ke.

Once the main city falls, Mu Ke's power will definitely collapse, unless Mu Ke wants to continue to resist in the mountains.

"Mu Ke is a stranger, she has a way out, so after losing the main city, she will definitely not risk her life to continue fighting. Just capture the main city."

Chen Xi, a military strategist who is an alien, has no idea about Mu Ke's decision-making.

Pretty accurate.

Mu Ke still has two places to go, the Protectorate of the Western Regions and Xiacheng. It is impossible to lead the defeated soldiers to flee to the barren mountains after losing the main city and continue to fight.

Unless there is a deep hatred between the players, it will not be possible to achieve that level.

"Therefore, we only need to capture Dianchi Lake, and the Nanman tribes will at least superficially submit to us."

Wang Meng also realized that for the vast majority of lords, the fall of the main city had basically lost their fighting spirit and fled to other places.

Only the hatred of destroying the country will make a civilized lord rebel repeatedly.

Liu Bei's army swept the battlefield and continued to march towards Dianchi Lake.

The battle to pacify the Nanman lasted for three months, and it was unbearable. Only then did Liu Beijun see the hope of pacifying the Nanman.

Ashina Sheer of the Shu Han Army pursued Meng Ba's tribal army, and Qin Liangyu led the white-armed soldiers and Wudang Feijun to meet Meng Ba and Yong Kai. The pole soldiers and Wudang Feijun's opponents retreated.

Meng Ba and Yong Kai were injured in the battle, and when they saw Qin Liangyu again, they felt ashamed.

If they win, they can still ask Qin Liangyu for credit, but if they are defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they will lose their troops and generals, which will affect Mu Ke's deployment instead.

Qin Liangyu still felt a headache and didn't talk much to Meng Ba and Yong Kai.

Southern barbarian generals are not very reliable.

During the expedition to the Western Regions and the Battle of Youzhou, the enemies he faced were even stronger, so Qin Liangyu didn't have to worry about his teammates, because at that time he was cooperating with first-rate or second-rate generals, and they were not at the same level as Meng Ba and Yong Kai.

The Nanman tribe's army lost a total of tens of thousands of people, and the remaining Nanman soldiers were downcast.

The young Meng Huo was sitting on the back of a war elephant. Seeing that the people of his tribe were demoralized and returned in a big defeat, he couldn't help but keep silent.

In the Southern Man War, the reckless leaders of various tribes lost many times, and many people were deceived by Wang Meng.

It is estimated that when Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, these leaders did not suffer less.

A girl wrapped in a beast skirt was crying. Qin Liangyu walked over and cast a questioning look at the general of the tribe.

The general of the tribe had a gloomy expression: "Our patriarch died in battle, she is the patriarch's daughter."

Qin Liangyu picked up the girl: "What's your name?"

"I wish... Zhu Rong."

"In the future, you will follow my sister for the time being."

Qin Liangyu temporarily adopted Zhu Rong after the patriarch of the entire tribe was killed.

"General Qin, what should we do?"

Depressed by the defeat, Yong Kai could only ask Qin Liangyu for help.

"If I block the army of the Shu Han, maybe I can buy time and let the prefect have time to adjust."

Qin Liangyu knew that he could not rely on Meng Ba, Yong Kai and others, and could only support the overall situation on his own.

As long as the Wudang Flying Army appears in the mountains, the advancing speed of the Shu Han Army will definitely be affected.

In Dianchi City, Mu Ke looked towards the north.

Liu Bei's army went south, mopping up various tribes, collecting food and grass, and marched steadily all the way, less than a hundred miles away from Dianchi Lake.

If the place is a plain, cavalry can reach it in a day.

"Central Asia is not very peaceful. Wo Kuotai entered the Indus River Basin and intends to rebuild the Mongolian Empire. The four major civilizations of the Seljuk Empire, the Khwarazm Kingdom, the Kushan Empire, the Ilkhanate, and Timur The city of Derry, which was occupied by the sons, was merged into a great empire spanning Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. Wo Kuotai and the others are in other places except East Asia, like ducks in water."

Huo An no longer cared so much about the Nanman affairs, and was more worried about the safety of the Western Regions Protectorate.

In the final analysis, the Battle of the Southern Barbarians was still a dispute among the princes of the Han Empire, and the strong rise of Wo Kuotai made Huo An feel uneasy.

Years of experience in running the Protectorate of the Western Regions gave Huo An an extraordinary understanding of the situation in Central Asia.

In fact, without the support of the Central Plains, the military front of the Protectorate of the Western Regions has expanded to Dawan, which is already the limit of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

"Are we going to give up the Nanman tribe? This is the territory I managed to conquer. It would be a pity to let Liu Bei like this."

Mu Ke looked down at the millions of people in the city, feeling a little bit reluctant.

She has been running the city for ten years.

"Of course we can't give up this place so quickly. At least we have to wait until Chu Zimou pacifies Liaodong. In addition, even if we lose to Liu Bei in the end, we still have to leave some hidden dangers. At that time, as long as you want to take back the Nanman area, it's only a snap of your fingers. "

"You mean to use the tribes of the Southern Man..."

"That's right. A war broke out between the Nanman tribe and Liu Bei's forces. Many tribes' wives and children were separated, and they must hold grudges. Even if Liu Bei occupies the Nanzhong area, it will not be peaceful in a short time. At the right time, you can spread the word to various tribes, and everyone will respond. , Liu Bei is still battered..."

Huo An has been competing with the Central Asian civilization for a long time, so he has more experience than Mu Ke.

Sometimes, even if you occupy the other party's territory, you may not be able to rest assured.

Governing the world is more difficult than conquering the world.

In Liucheng in western Liaoning, various ministries of the Ming army that had retreated from Guzhucheng, as well as soldiers and horses from many tribes in eastern Liaodong gathered here.

Liucheng has a teleportation array, and you can escape back to Liaodong from this city.

"Eastern Liaodong is the most important place for our army, and it is absolutely possible to make a comeback. You wait for troops to station in Liucheng, and the city of Liaodong is the corner of each other. Xia's army attacks one of them, and the other army will cut off its food road. If Xia's army divides at the same time On the two routes, stick to the city and wait for the Xia army to run out of food and grass, and then retreat."

At this time, Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, still had a clear understanding of the situation.

Liucheng and Liaodong City are all strong fortresses. It is conceivable that Xia Jun wants to divide his troops into two groups and capture two strong cities at the same time.

"Murong Ba, Murong Ke, the matter of Liucheng is up to you to decide in person. This king summoned the soldiers and horses of Goryeo, Goguryeo, and Fuyu to gather in Liaodong City and lure the enemy deep. There is still a battle."

Ming Guan's face was serious.

The winning rate of the Liaodong forces is less than 10%, but he still wants to turn the tide.

For the current plan, leading the Xia army to the distant Liaodong City and Liucheng, and lengthening the Xia army's supply line, may be the only way to break the situation.

Some generals died or were captured. Mingguan also had to reuse the ambitious brothers Murong Ke and Murong Ba, who were stationed in Liucheng.

Duan Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and the Wuhuan people who have the same language and customs as the Xianbei people are temporarily under the command of the Murong brothers.

Many generals in Mingguan were injured, their strength declined, and their military power gradually fell.

Only by distributing part of the power to Murong Ke, the Murong tribe will sacrifice their lives to the lord in order to keep their power.

"Murong Xianbei... this leader actually wants to obey their orders."

Yuwen Yidougui, the leader of the Yuwen Tribe, frowned.

Almost all the top officials of the Duan Clan Xianbei were killed by the swords of Zhou Yafu and Li Guang's army. The Yuwen tribe also suffered heavy losses. Only Yuwentai was a legendary general.

In comparison, Murong Xianbei has two legendary generals, Murong Ke and Murong Ba, as well as Murong Lin and others, completely superior to the two tribes.

"Brother, although King Ming handed over all the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry in Liucheng to our commander, the Xia army is coming so fiercely that it may be difficult to defend Liucheng."

After Murong Ba left Mingguan, he said to Murong Ke worriedly.

The entire army of serial iron horses was annihilated, and most of the dragon city iron cavalry was lost. Even if they were recruited again, it would take two to three months, and the high-level troops recruited were recruits, and their combat power would be greatly reduced compared with the division of hundreds of battles.

"If you fight the Xia army head-on, you will lose in all likelihood. You can only defend the city while recruiting and training recruits in the city. Priority will be given to recruiting high-ranking troops. If the situation in the world changes, the timing will turn, and recruits will be recruited again, and the troops will be replenished. , then, maybe there is still a chance.”

Murong Ke hopes that the general situation of the world will change, such as a meteorite falling from the sky, hitting Chutian or something...

Murong Ba also shook his head: "That's the only way to go. The Xia army has not yet received supplies after the battle in western Liaoning, and may not be able to capture Liucheng and Liaodong city."
