771 Lure the Enemy

As the scout reported, more than an hour later, the rebels in the South Central were indeed like half of the tide rushing towards the Han army's camp, but the rebels had no formation at all. Although there were rebels from all directions, they looked very casual, and the rebels did not stop at all. They attacked the Han army's camp directly, one after another.

On the huge plain, there was a huge crowd of people. The rebels rushed forward with all their might, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the Han army camp without fear.

Under the orders of Zhang Liao, the various camps of the Han army had already established a series of defense systems. When they saw the rebels rushing over, they all cheered up their spirits and prepared to fight the rebels with the rebels.

In the Han army's camp, the archers shot the first wave of arrows at the rushing rebels. The dense arrows soared into the sky and shot towards the rebel camp. The rebels who were charging were all fearless. Not only did they not cover them, but they rushed forward faster.

Arrows shot towards the enemy outside the camp one after another, but the effect received was very microscopic. The rebels seemed to rush over in a mess, but in fact they made sufficient preparations. Although they had no formation, they were scattered very wide. One wave of arrows shot over, but few were actually shot by arrows, and the number of casualties was not very obvious. Moreover, the rebels charged in the form of echelons, and although they were wave after wave, there was still a lot of space in the middle of each group of charge rebels, which allowed the rebels to have room for maneuver.

The rain of arrows shot out of the Han army camp, but it could not stop the rebels' advance. The rebels charged to the nearest place and began to shoot with the Han army camp with bows and arrows.

For a moment, the arrows flew around in the air, densely packed like a group of locusts, but fortunately there were some defensive buildings in the Han army camp, and archers could hide behind the buildings to avoid being injured by enemy arrows.

On a high slope about two miles away from the Han army camp, a group of people rode war horses here, and a large flag with the black Meng character hangs also danced in the wind.

Under the banner of Meng, the leader of the entire rebel army, Meng Huo, who claimed to be the king of the Southern Central, was staring at the Han army camp in the distance.

This time Meng Huo brought an army of 200,000, but these were not his main forces. His 100,000 main forces were still gathering in the Ailao Mountain area, waiting anxiously for his closer instructions.

The 200,000 army had already encircled the Han army camp. With the Han army camp as the center, there were dense rebels within a radius of five miles. They did not hide, but were directly exposed to the Han army's sight, without any conspiracy or tricks, and rushed up directly, just to compete with the Han army.

At least this is the result Meng Huo wanted the Han army to see, making him mistakenly think that the 200,000 army was his main force, thus inspiring the Han army to fight him.

Meng Huo rode on the horse and saw waves of rebels rushing towards the Han army like a tide. It seemed surging, but in fact, Meng Huo's psychological side was very clear. These 200,000 people, like those led by Meng You last time, were all a group of mobs.

However, the overall quality and combat effectiveness of the army led by Meng Huo were stronger than those led by Meng You. The 50,000 people last time were pure cannon fodder, and the 200,000 people this time were also to lure the enemy into depth, but they could compete with the Han army and weaken the Han army's strength.

This operation was commanded by Meng Huo with all the leaders of various tribes in full cooperation. This was the result of unified discussion by all rebel leaders. The purpose was to introduce the Han army into the Ailao Mountain area and rely on the favorable terrain in the local area to snipe the Han army.

"King Meng, the Han army is defending the camp, and there seems to be no intention to come out to fight. If we just charge like this unscrupulously, we will suffer heavy casualties." said a bearded man next to Meng Huo.

This long beard is strong and looks big and thick, but his eyes are shrewd, and his black eyes are constantly turning, as if he is always thinking about something.

This beard is no one else. It was the Mulu King who led a large army from the Southern Barbarians to support Meng Huo. The Mulu King is extremely ugly. In the Southern Barbarian tribe, which has always been judged by force, although his force is not the best, he is also the best among them, as famous as Wutugu.

Although the Mulu King is also called the King, he actually leads only a dozen tribes. In recent years, the Mulu King has fought with force from both sides and south and north, and has successively merged more than a dozen tribes of all sizes around him. After that, the Mulu King called himself the King, but the area under actual control is the same as the size of a township of the Han people.

The Southern Barbarians are widely distributed, spread all over the south, with many branches. The tribe where King Mulu is located belongs to the Southern Barbarians and has always been adjacent to the Southern Middle School. If calculated according to the region, King Mulu should be affiliated with Jiaozhou of the Han Dynasty.

Although he called himself the Barbarian King, no one paid attention to him. Even the Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke was not as good as the Wuxi Barbarian King. Shamoke still commanded all the Wuxi Barbarians in Jingnan area, and the Mulu King was only under 100% of Shamoke's population.

But such a tribe has a foothold in Nanzhong. The fundamental reason is that in addition to being extremely powerful, Mulu King is also proficient in witchcraft and can make poisonous insects and beasts fight for them. He is a very powerful character.

Because of this, although Meng Huo had wanted to acquire the tribe of Mulu King many times, he was still a little afraid of medical treatment and did not dare to do anything casually, for fear that he would suffer heavy losses.

After hearing the words of King Mulu, Meng Huo just sneered and said slowly: "If the lives of tens of thousands of people can be exchanged for the entire Han army, I think it is very meaningful to die these people."

The Mulu King said: "What if the Han army doesn't take the bait?"

Meng Huo's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't thought of this problem yet, or in his heart, there was no such thing as not being caught.

The words of King Mulu made Meng Huo feel a little worried. He stared at the entire battlefield and saw that the Han army was calm in defense. It was obviously ready for a long time and seemed to have no intention of going out to fight. If he just rushed like this, his side would lose more and more troops.

The most important thing is that these troops are not his own, but are gathered by many southern central ministries. If there are too many people dead, I am afraid that the rest of them will not be willing to fight to the death any more.

When Meng Huo thought of this, he became troubled and asked, "Don't you know if the Mulu King has any good idea to lure the enemy into the bait?"

King Mulu laughed twice before saying, "Of course there is... As long as King Meng is willing to lead a group of troops to attack the Han army's camp, and then flee if he cheats and defeats. I believe that many people in the Han army's camp will be unable to help but come out to pursue King Meng!"

"You want me to take risks?" Meng Huo asked.

The Mulu King said: "If the king wants to succeed, he must do this. Only by doing this can he truly succeed. For them, the king is the biggest bait."

Meng Huo sneered, without saying a word, but continued to ride on the horse, quietly watching the entire battlefield. The number of people charged was decreasing, and the enemy did not react at all after the defeat, and it seemed that he could not have any effect. But unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never take risks. This is the bottom line.

The battlefield changed rapidly. Although the number of rebels was large, the Han army defended very closely. Moreover, in the Han army's barracks, all troops were prepared for any eventuality. Arrows were shot one after another, causing many chargeable rebel soldiers to fall under the arrows.

Seeing this situation, Meng Huo was unwilling to admit that his strategy was a failure. In anger, he sent another 20,000 people to rush over the four gates of the camp.

After seeing this, King Mulu shook his head helplessly and muttered: "Another group of people who are about to become corpses..."

After listening to it, Meng Huo seemed very unhappy and turned his head to the Mulu King and said, "What do you mean?"

The Mulu King said: "It's not interesting."

At this time, the Guidong beside Meng Huo saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to mediate. Meng Huo and Mulu King gave up.

In the Han army's camp, all the soldiers were on high ground. Zhang Liao, the Grand Governor of the Southern Central, boarded a watchtower in the central army, overlooking the entire battlefield in a high position, and then issued specific orders. When Zhang Liao noticed another wave of troops coming, he immediately ordered all military camps to strengthen prevention, remember to let the enemy approach the military camp, and use the powerful arrow formation to suppress the rebels.

This time, the rebels seemed to have learned their cleverness, and everyone held an oak shield to block the arrows shot by the Han army, so as not to turn into a corpse.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also noticed Meng Huo on the high slope. When he saw Meng Huo and a group of people standing there, pointing fingers, his face showed a sense of joy, and immediately said to Wen Pin behind him: "All the cavalry of the central army are gathered immediately, I will go out to fight!"

As the chief general of the army, Zhang Liao said that he would go out to fight in the camp this time, which shocked Wenpin. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to fight on behalf of the Grand Commander!"

Zhang Liao waved his hand and refused, "You stay here to observe the enemy situation and give orders on my behalf."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao put on the watchtower and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

Soon, Wen Pin stood on the watchtower and suddenly saw a cavalry team of more than 800 people sailing from the central army to the back army. The sound of horse hooves rolled up the yellow sand all over the ground and disappeared into the rolling smoke and dust...
