673 Unexpected

Meng Huo was surprised and asked quickly, "What are your tricks?" King Duosi smiled and said, "I have recently learned a method of refining 'wolf spider poison'. It is easy to obtain materials and can be refined in large quantities. Before our army attacks, I can lead people to refine 'wolf spider poison' upstream of Xiaoye River and throw them into the river. The Qin people must use the river water to cook. Once they eat 'wolf spider poison', the mild ones will be limp and the severe ones will be killed. At that time, the army can directly enter the Qin army camp to search for prisoners!"

Meng Huo laughed loudly, praised repeatedly, and immediately asked King Duosi to do it. King Duosi took the order and left. Meng Huo said to the other leaders: "The rest of the troops are ready and return to Dianchi Lake tomorrow morning. Just wait for King Duosi to succeed in his vicious plan, our army will launch a big attack and wipe out the Qin army in one fell swoop!" Everyone responded excitedly.

Meng Huo led the army to leave the hidden place and quietly approached Dianchi Lake. One day later, the army was only more than ten miles away from the Qin army's camp. In order to prevent being noticed by the Qin army, Meng Huo ordered the army to hide on the spot, and immediately attacked when King Duosi's poison plan was successful.

A day passed. As noon approached, Meng Huo received a message from King Duosi that he had already put the "spider poison" into Xiaoye River for a day, thinking that the Qin army should have been poisoned. After receiving this message, Meng Huo immediately sent scouts to investigate the Qin army camp. Soon Meng Huo received a reply from the scout: "King, the Qin army camp is full of wailing sounds, and although I am far away, I can see that many Han people are lying on the ground and struggling in pain!"

Wu Tugu shouted excitedly: "The Qin people must have been poisoned by the 'spider poison'!" Then he shouted to Meng Huo, "King, let's attack quickly! Don't let the Qin people who have not been poisoned escape!" The leaders agreed one after another.

Meng Huo also thought so, and immediately ordered the army to attack immediately. So more than 100,000 troops came out of the hidden place and advanced to the Qin army camp at full speed. At dusk that day, the army entered the Qin army camp. Meng Huo and others rode on the battle elephant and looked into the distance. Sure enough, they saw that the battle flags were tilted around in the Qin army camp, and countless officers and soldiers fell on the ground, some seemed to be struggling, while others were still motionless! Meng Huo couldn't help but feel extremely excited, laughed and shouted loudly, "Lu Bu! You dare to go against me, and today I will want you to die without a burial place!" Then he shouted: "Attack!"

The sound of horns sounded immediately, and the barbarian troops howled and rushed towards the Qin army camp. Under the reflection of the afterglow of the setting sun, it was like endless evil waves! Everyone in the barbarian army was scrambling to the forefront. In their eyes, the enemy troops in front of them were no longer a vicious enemy, but a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

Not long after, the army broke open the gate and rushed in! Wu Tugu raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill me!" The vine armored soldiers roared excitedly, scattered and rushed to all parts of the camp to search for Qin troops, and some rushed to the Qin troops on the ground and slashed!

A vine armored soldier rushed to a Qin army lying on the ground, slashed with a knife, and a crackling sound! The vine armored soldier showed a puzzled expression. He immediately bent down to turn the Qin army over. The vine armored soldier suddenly saw the Qin army's face and was immediately shocked. It turned out that what human face was in his eyes was just a wooden stake straw. At this time, someone was already shouting: "Hey! This is not a real person!" Such shouts were heard one after another.

Wu Tugu frowned and shouted loudly, "What's going on?" A vine armored soldier rushed to Wu Tugu and said anxiously, "King, those on the ground are not humans, they are dummies made of straw and wood scattered armored clothes!" Wu Tugu was very surprised. At this moment, the vine armored soldier who rushed into a tent not far away shouted, "How come this is empty?" Such a shout immediately sounded loudly everywhere else. Wu Tugu suddenly felt a bad feeling.

However, before Wu Tugu and the other leaders could figure out what was going on, the sound of the horns of the Qin army suddenly cut through the sky! Wu Tugu and others were shocked and then they heard a huge shout sound from all directions. Wu Tugu and others looked around in a hurry and saw that various units of the Qin army appeared in all directions to encircle them!

Wu Tugu only then realized what was going on, and immediately shouted loudly: "It's not good! I'm in ambush! Come with me to break through!"

At this moment, rockets from all directions flew into the sky like heavy rain. The barbarians in chaos were shot down countless times. Although the rockets failed to penetrate their armor, they immediately ignited the vine armor they were proud of. In the meantime, the vine armor soldiers turned into fire men, and shrill screams echoed on the chaotic battlefield! At the same time, fire walls appeared on the ground, and huge flames burst out to subdue all the barbarians around them! In a blink of an eye, the entire barbarians turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the flames were constantly devouring the barbarians! It turned out that Ailang had ordered people to lay a large amount of tincture oil and firewood in the entire barbarians beforehand, so the flames were out of control!

The barbarian army was so burned that they screamed and fled in scattered. The scene was in chaos and tragic! The escaped barbarian army was frustrated by fire, and the barbarian army that could not escape was submerged in the ocean of flames!

However, before the barbarian army, who had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire, had time to be glad to their luck, a huge killing sound suddenly came, and the Qin army launched a fierce attack! The barbarian army rushed to fight, but could not resist the Qin army's fierce attack like a mountain collapse and tsunami. The Qin army swept and was unstoppable, while the various soldiers of the barbarian army were defeated like mountains and killed by the Qin army, and the corpses were everywhere and defeated!

Meng Huo stared at the tragic scene in front of him and couldn't help but shout, "What's going on?" What's going on? This is probably the question in the minds of all the barbarians. In fact, they were too self-righteous. After Ailang learned that King Duosi was good at using poison, he was wary of their move. In fact, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Huang Yueying and others had already seen through the plan of entering the west and attracting the king into the trap. Therefore, the army arrived at the city of Dianchi and deliberately used the trick to lure the barbarians to attack. As a result, Meng Huo thought he had succeeded, but he did not want to fall into the ambush of the Qin army. A battle was killed so much that corpses were everywhere!

Seeing that his troops and horses ran away in panic, Meng Huo was anxious and angry, and shouted loudly: "Don't retreat! Don't retreat!" However, no one listened to him in the panic crowd. Instead, he and his guard were surrounded by the defeated soldiers and ran backwards involuntarily!

The Qin army chased and killed the barbarians for more than ten miles before they stopped their troops. Then Ailang concentrated his strength to attack Dianchi Lake. The thousands of people in Dianchi Lake were already scared. Even under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the entire army collapsed and fled out of the city. The Qin army successfully occupied Dianchi Lake.

Meng Huo and others fled west for about fifty miles before they stopped their escape. Meng Huo checked their troops and found that the previous 150,000 troops were only 70,000 troops left! More than half of the army was lost, Meng Huo and others were shocked and angry, and they were in tears!

Seeing that the people were depressed, Meng Huo cheered everyone up and said, "Don't be discouraged! We have only been defeated for a while, and the outcome is still not decided! Don't forget that we still have Liu Bei's reinforcements! As long as Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive, whoever wins or loses, it may be possible!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but recovered a little fighting spirit in their hearts. They only felt that if Liu Bei's soldiers felt that, then this battle would be the one who would win and lose!

Seeing that everyone had recovered some fighting spirit, Meng Huo couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately ordered: "Our army retreated to Qin Zang first, and wait until Liu Bei's army arrived before counterattacking the enemy!" Everyone agreed. The Qin Zang mentioned by Meng Huo was a hundred miles northwest of Dianchi Lake, which is now Lufeng County, Guizhou Province. On the east bank of Jishui, it is a major transportation route between Dianchi Lake and Yuyu, and now it has become a strategic location. Therefore, Meng Huo hoarded a large amount of food and grass in Qin Zang, and it is very suitable for the army to temporarily retreat to Qin Zang to rest!

A few days later, Meng Huo's army retreated to Qin Zang. Meng Huo immediately received the news of the loss of Dianchi Lake. Although this was something that had been expected, it still made Meng Huo crazy for a long time! Another news came soon after that made Meng Huo even more crazy. It turned out that the scout had received an urgent report from the west. Zhu Rong, the queen of Zhurong's tribe, led a 60,000 army back to Qingzhao and came straight towards Qin Zang, which was less than fifty miles away from Qin Zang! Meng Huo roared hysterically: "Zhurong! You actually helped Lu Bu deal with me!!" Then Meng Huo wanted to raise an army to capture Zhurong alive, but was finally dissuaded by the leaders and Zhao Chuanfang. Meng Huo calmed down and decided to wait until Liu Bei's army came to stalemate with the Qin army, he would lead the army to capture Zhurong alive and then deal with Lu Bu.

Meng Huo was waiting anxiously at Qin Zang, feeling that life was like year. One day later, the scout came to news that Zhurong's army had arrived at the west bank of Jishui. Half a day later, another news came, Lu Bu personally led an army of 30,000 westwards and approached Qin Zang where he was. Meng Huo was anxious and couldn't help but scold Liu Bei. In annoyance, he actually greeted all the women of Liu Bei's family.

At this moment, a scout rushed to Meng Huo panting and said anxiously: "King, Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei's army..."

Meng Huo and others suddenly lit up when they heard this. Meng Huo asked anxiously: "Has Liu Bei's army arrived? What's the situation now?"

The scout shook his head vigorously and said in horror: "Liu Bei's army is here, and he was ambushed by Zhang Liao's 20,000 troops in Dalou Mountain. He lost a lot. Now the remaining defeated generals have fled back to Sichuan!"

Everyone felt a bolt from the blue and was shocked, and the scene suddenly became extremely silent! Meng Huo came back to his senses and shouted hysterically, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Then he cursed angrily: "Waste! Waste! Han people are all waste!" The other leaders looked at each other, and their faces could not hide their fear and anxiety!
