Cheng Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, what you said is very good! What Dong Zhuo relies on is simply having more soldiers and faster horses. As long as his strength is exhausted time and time again, can he still be proud? His subordinate has a plan. Lu Bulie
Formation, with cavalry in front and infantry in the back, can be used tomorrow
One man lured Lu Bu into fighting in front of the formation, but secretly ordered someone to lead a surprise attack on Lu Bu's rear formation. Using infantry against infantry, our army was sure of victory. If Lu Bu's rear army was in chaos, the front army would inevitably be disturbed. At this time, the Lord waved
The army covered them up, but they took advantage of the situation and captured Ju County!"
Liu Xin pondered: "Although this plan is clever, but who can single-handedly hold Lu Bu down without him noticing?"
While talking, soldiers suddenly came into the tent to report that Huang Zhong had arrived escorting the baggage and food supplies.
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Oh, you came so quickly?"
Huang Zhong had already stepped into the tent and said loudly: "The general has been working hard day and night, and I dare not neglect the slightest. Now that the general has taken ten days' necessities, he has arrived in front of the formation and paid the order to the lord!"
Liu Xin's war was different from other armies in that it relied heavily on baggage, followed by food and grass. The most important thing was the large number of equipment and arrows, which were extremely difficult to transport. Take equipment as an example, when other armies are attacking cities or at other times, various
The equipment is all made from local materials and made on site. As for Liu Xin’s trebuchet, ram, aerial ladder, and well trap, etc.
They are all carefully made and debugged by the research institute, and then disassembled into various components, and then assembled after being transported to the battlefield. The advantage of this is that the assembled equipment is highly precise, powerful, strong and durable, but it also increases the cost of transportation.
Burden. With these equipment, especially the trebuchet, Liu Xin's confidence in tomorrow's battle suddenly increased.
Early the next morning, Lu Bu reorganized his troops and went to the front of the formation to start a fight. Liu Xin, surrounded by generals, led his troops out again and formed a formation to confront Lu Bu. There was no change in the strength of the two sides, which was still 50,000.
To one hundred thousand.
Lu Bu still rode alone to the front of the formation, pointed his halberd at Liu Xin's formation, and said loudly: "Yesterday you fought three against one, which is really a villain's behavior. Today, anyone dares to fight Lu Bu alone! What if?
No, go back to Jingzhou as soon as possible and don’t embarrass yourself here!"
A general in Liu Xin's army galloped out and shouted loudly: "Lü Bu, don't be arrogant. Do you recognize Nanyang Huang Zhong?"
Lu Bu said disdainfully: "A nobody dares to come here to die, so let's call that black man out yesterday."
Huang Zhong looked up to the sky and smiled: "You have to try the sword in my hand first!"
After saying that, he urged his horse on his hip, brandished the Chixia Sword and struck Lu Bu down on the head. Lu Bu was not in a hurry, Fang Tian drew his halberd and struck hard. There was a loud "dang" sound, and both of them were stunned.
They were startled and secretly said in unison, what a great strength. The horses fought in a series, and the two people missed each other and turned around to fight again. This fight was more intense than yesterday, and the fight lasted for more than a hundred rounds.
, regardless of victory or defeat.
Historically, Huang Zhong was still able to fight Xia Houyuan in his twilight years. Now in his prime, he is at the peak of his life. His physical strength, reaction, and speed are all at their best. He is capable of killing. Each move of the Chixia Sword in his hand is as fast as the other.
The battle with Lu Bu was evenly matched. The soldiers on both sides were dumbfounded, and for a while they even forgot to cheer.
The two fought for dozens more rounds, and it was almost noon. Liu Xin knew that Huang Zhong's horses were not as good as Lu Bu's, so he was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he ordered the troops to retreat. Huang Zhong raised his sword to hold Lu Bu's painted halberd, and said loudly: "Military order."
Like a mountain, I dare not retreat. How about you and I fighting again in the afternoon?" Lu Bu knew that this man was his most powerful enemy in his life, and he said in a deep voice: "Then we will fight again in the afternoon. I'm afraid you won't be a hero." Both sides went their separate ways.
withdraw troops.
At noon, Huang Zhong changed his horse and came to Lu Bu's formation to challenge him first. Lu Bu was anxious, and despite the dissuasion of Song Xian and others, he raised his halberd and mounted his horse to fight Huang Zhong again. The two of them had a good fight, and they were still inseparable until the sun set in the west.
Win or lose.
Liu Xin looked anxiously in the direction of Lu Bu's rear army, but saw no movement.
Cheng Yu knew what he was thinking, so he immediately handed over his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Gao Shun and Wenpin are both cautious people. They are good at using soldiers. Even if they encounter any trouble on the road, they will handle it properly and never give up."
There will be losses.”
It turned out that Liu Xin had quietly ordered Gao Shun and Wenpin to lead 30,000 infantry and detour to Lu Bu's camp, preparing to attack Lu Bu's rear army. Looking at the nightfall, Liu Xin knew that there would be no results today.
, and seeing that Huang Zhong's horses were already a little tired, he hurriedly ordered the gold to be withdrawn.
Huang Zhong had just changed his horse and before he could return to camp, drums suddenly sounded loudly in the opposite formation. When Huang Zhong turned to look, he saw Lu Bu leaping out of the horse again and shouted: "Huang Zhong, do you dare to fight with me at night?"
"
Seeing that Huang Zhong was eager to try, Liu Xin stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "It's getting late. Let's fight again tomorrow."
Huang Zhong was also capable of killing. He waved the sword in his hand and said: "I would like to inform my lord, since I have been in office, I have finally met an enemy today. Please arrange more torches, my lord, I am willing to fight him night and day!"
Knowing that she couldn't persuade him, Liu Xin rolled up her sleeves and said, "Okay! Since you want to stay up late and fight at night, I will personally beat the drum for you."
Huang Zhong and Lu Bu continued to duel in front of the pass. They fought back and forth for more than fifty rounds. Each army on both sides lit thousands of torches, illuminating the battlefield as if it were daytime.
Seeing that Lu Bu still couldn't defeat Huang Zhong until now, he secretly hatched a plan, reined in his horse and ran away. Huang Zhong saw this and chased after him. Although the red rabbit horse is a peerless horse, it has been fighting from morning until now.
Also showing signs of fatigue
, and although Huang Zhong's war horse was not as good as it, Sheng was just waiting for work, and his foot strength was not bad at all. Lu Bu saw Huang Zhong gradually catching up, secretly took off his carved bow, picked up the feather arrows, turned back to look at the moon, and shouted "Here!"
.
He only thought that he was good at riding and shooting, but little did he know that his opponent was the best arrow in the world. Huang Zhong had already seen his movements and took off his strong bow. When he saw this arrow coming in front of him, he didn't panic.
He flashed past lightly, grabbed the arrow casually, grabbed the arrow in his hand, pulled the strong bow like a full moon, and shouted "Hold!"
Lu Bu heard the sound of the bowstring and lowered his head in panic, but he didn't see any arrows coming. Knowing that he was being tricked by Huang Zhong, he couldn't help but became furious and turned over to kill him. Suddenly he heard another sound of the bowstring, and Lu Bu hurriedly shot
subconsciously
When he turned his head, he felt a burning pain on his cheek. When he reached out and touched it, there was blood all over it. Huang Zhong's arrow scratched a deep blood mark on his handsome face, which almost killed him. He couldn't help but
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Huang Zhong took advantage of the situation and charged forward again with the Chixia Sword. Lu Bu was frightened by his arrow and did not dare to fight, so he reined in his horse and left. In terms of martial arts alone, Lu Bu is definitely one of the best heroes, but his character
But people dare not compliment him. Not only is he greedy for money and lust, but he also forgets his integrity when he sees profit.
And he was greedy for life and afraid of death. Historically, after he was captured by Cao Cao, his subordinates Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun all preferred death to surrender, but he was the first to kneel to the ground and beg Cao Cao for his life. Now, Huang Zhong
One arrow shot away all his pride and pride, so why didn't he just slap his horse and run away?
When Song Xian, Wei Xu and others saw that Lu Bu, whom they thought was invincible, was actually defeated, they were all terrified. Instead of coming to rescue them, they retreated quietly.
Liu Xin saw clearly in the formation that Lu Bu's military morale had been shaken. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He didn't care where the ambush troops who carried out the sneak attack were. He waved his riding whip towards the opposite side and shouted: "Kill!"
Lu Bu's front army was all cavalry, and the two armies clashed, which was what they were good at. Unfortunately, Lu Bu was too busy running for his life and had no time to issue orders. Song Xian and others only knew how to retreat. For a time, they were leaderless, and the soldiers did not know whether to advance or not.
Retreat. It’s critical at this moment.
At the critical moment, Lu Bu's rear army shouted first, became confused, and rushed forward one after another. When Lu Bu turned his head to look in a hurry, he saw a burst of fire from behind rushing towards Yunxiao. It was obvious that he had been attacked by the enemy, and he did not dare to attack.
Return to the main formation and walk into the diagonal stab.
Seeing this, Liu Xin knew that Gao Shun, Wenpin and the others had succeeded, so he took the opportunity to shout: "Lü Bu's camp has been lost, brothers, come on, don't let anyone escape!"
The three armies shouted in unison, swarmed forward, and rushed into the enemy's formation. Although the Xiliang enemy's cavalry was brave, they did not have equipment such as stirrups. They still relied on cavalry and archery to fight the enemy. Now that they were rushed into the formation by the infantry, they could not use it at all.
, unable to exert even 10% of their usual combat power. In addition, they were attacked by their own infantry later, and the generals did not know where they had fled. Anyone who was willing to continue to work here also fled on horseback.
This melee lasted until the middle of the night. An inventory of the battlefield revealed that nearly 10,000 horses were captured, more than 30,000 were beheaded, and more than 30,000 people surrendered. Less than 30% of Lu Bu's 100,000 troops escaped. Liu Xin did not
Withdrew his troops and marched directly towards Ju County.
The city wall in Ju County is not high and there are not many guards. I heard that even Lu Bu was defeated. How could the county magistrate He Ren dare to resist? When he heard the report, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He only put on a single coat and crawled out of bed barefoot.
Get up and give the order to open the door and surrender.
Lu Bu escaped for more than thirty miles in one breath, and then he set up camp again and gathered up the escaped troops. There were still more than 30,000 people left. Fortunately, 20,000 elite Xiliang cavalry escaped, which gave him some comfort.
However, both the captains Cheng Lian and Cao Xing died in the rebellion, which made Lu Bu sigh. He ordered someone to get the bronze mirror. When he saw the deep scars on his face, he was shocked and hated in his heart, and he gritted his teeth.
But there is nothing you can do.
Dong Zhuo led his army out of Chang'an City, but did not set out immediately. He waited for the arrival of two armies, the Qiang soldiers and the Xiongnu soldiers, before joining forces and meandering southward. After walking for two days, they set up camp outside Sanguan. When they arrived,
On the morning of the same day, before the army could set out from the stronghold, they received an urgent message from Lu Bu on his horse.
Hearing that Lü Bu was defeated and wounded, Dong Zhuo was alarmed and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss matters. In order to win the hearts of scholars, Dong Zhuo also appointed many officials in the court in recent years, but these people were both obsessive and insidious to him.
The only ones who are truly loyal to him are his old subordinates. However, although there are many generals under him, they are all warriors. Only Li Ru is really good at strategy.
Li Ru understood what he understood. He pondered for a long time, then stroking his short beard under his chin and said: "Liu Xin is taking advantage of the power of his new victory, so he can't attack him directly. The grand master can order Lu Bu to withdraw his troops and set up camp outside Sanguan."
Go down to the camp, form a horn with Sanguan, and stalemate Liu Xin. First, dampen his energy, and then wait and see what happens."
