Chapter 715: The End of the Battle in Jizhou (1)
The book is picked up again.
"Wenyuan, are the troops ready?" Lu Bu looked at the fire in the distance with a melancholy face, and asked Zhang Liao on the side.
He never thought that by now, Yuan Shao would suddenly rise up.
Originally, he was still happily chasing Yuan Shao, but when he was halfway through the chase, he suddenly saw countless pieces of wood placed in the center of the road, and it was poured with grease and lit with fire, and it was impassable at all.
After seeing this scene, Lu Bu immediately knew that he was afraid that Yuan Shao had come back to his senses and was going to fight with him!
After perceiving this, Lu Bu's face was full of helplessness, Yuan Shao didn't wake up sooner or later, just when he was about to break through, this was really disgusting!
In desperation, Lu Bu could only let Zhang Liang prepare early, and deal with the high column behind them When they were chasing Yuan Shao, they had already come to Yecheng and were rushing towards their side.
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and said: "It's all ready, the lord doesn't have to be so depressed, although we can't continue to attack Yuan Shao, but the task we are waiting for has been completed excellently, and there is no need to do it again."
Moreover, even if I hold Yuan Shao, it will be useless, but it will become a hot potato, so I might as well take this opportunity to break through. ”
"......" After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu thought for a while, nodded helplessly and said, "That's the only way." ”
After finishing speaking, he asked with some anxiety, "Have you ever prepared the Fire Horse Array?" Our breakthrough is all up to these horses. ”
"It's ready" After Zhang Liao nodded, he asked with some hesitation: "Do you have to use 10,000 war horses?" Isn't it okay to use five thousand?
Didn't we just use 5,000 horses to break through the enemy's military formation?
Moreover, when the Heaven Breaking Wind Army formation just now, his subordinates saw very clearly that the five thousand war horses did not play much role at all, and the enemy had already been defeated.
According to his subordinates, 5,000 war horses can completely defeat the army formation of 100,000 troops.
Now the lord wants to use 10,000 war horses to break through, isn't this a bit overkill? ”
Zhang Liao really didn't understand why Lu Bu used so many war horses to break through.
In his opinion, only 5,000 war horses can open a gap in the enemy's encirclement, allowing them to break through calmly, and it is really a waste to use 10,000 horses.
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu laughed, shook his head and said, "Ten thousand people are different from hundreds of thousands of people.
It is true that we can easily break up a large array of 10,000 people with 5,000 war horses, but once the number reaches hundreds of thousands, these 5,000 war horses will not be of much use.
Even if it can cause chaos for the enemy for a while, it will not be long before the chaos will be quelled, and there will be no fluctuations in the hundreds of thousands of troops.
At that time, the enemy must be on guard after passing through Huoma Town once, and it will be difficult for me to break through again! ”
After Zhang Liang heard Lu Bu's words, he frowned and retorted: "But we don't plan to annihilate the enemy, just open a gap and let me wait to break through."
Five thousand war horses can do this, why do you have to use ten thousand war horses? ”
"Hehe......" Lu Bu looked at the large group of war horses behind him, and after laughing, he said, "Wenyuan, you think things too simply.
You're right, if you just open a gap, five thousand war horses can indeed do it.
But what about when the gap is opened?
Won't the enemy pursue me when I break through this gap?
We can't raise the speed of our horses when we break through, and once the enemy pursues, it is very likely that we will be surrounded again, so how can we survive? ”
After Zhang Liao heard Lu Bu's words, his face showed a touch of understanding, and he suddenly realized: "Does the lord want to use another fire horse formation to block the enemy who came to pursue after we break through?" ”
"That's right!" After Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao's words, he nodded with a relieved face and said: "You finally guessed the mind of a certain family, if a certain family does not use this method, even if we can break through, we will be surrounded by the enemy again!"
Moreover, the little horse material that I waited for in Yecheng was too small, only enough for more than 20,000 horses to eat for a day.
Together with our own cavalry, we have a total of more than 30,000 war horses, and if we don't find a way to eliminate some now, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out in Xuzhou at all. ”
"I see" After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, Zhang Liao nodded convincingly, bowed to Lu Bu, and said, "It's still the thoughtfulness of the lord, and his subordinates admire it." ”
"Alas......" After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu not only did not be happy, but let out a long sigh, slapped his thigh hard, and said helplessly: "To be honest, a certain family doesn't want to think about this, it's too brain-consuming, a certain family just wants to kill it happily."
But there are still brothers under the command of a certain family who are counting on a certain family to take you out, so a certain family can no longer go on a rampage as before. ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he still had his own brother to take out, he really wanted to go back now and fight with Yuan Shao!
Unfortunately, Lu Bu's reason told him that he couldn't do this, and once he did, then he was no longer worthy of being a general.
So
He could only endure the killing intent in his heart and try his best to break through.
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Liao nodded with a bitter face and said: "It's me who dragged down the lord, if it weren't for us, according to the lord's ability, the world would be able to go, how could hundreds of thousands of troops have the lord?" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he shook his head and said: "You can see this as you say, a certain family can have such achievements today, except for your own ability, all of them rely on the hard work of your people."
If a certain family gives up on you for their own selfishness at this critical time, is it the way to go? I won't mention this in the future! ”
Lu Bu's words were very sincere, he could do anything on the battlefield, and even use his own soldiers as bait.
But after getting off the battlefield, Lu Bu really regarded these soldiers as his own brothers, as long as it was not too much of a matter of interest, he didn't want to sacrifice any of them.
After saying this, Lu Bu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about these upsetting things, I'll talk about whether I can take advantage of it when I break through." ”
"Take advantage of it a little more?" After Zhang Liao heard Lu Bu's words, he frowned and asked with a puzzled face, "What is the cheapness that the lord said?" ”
"Hehe......" Lu Bu heard this, and after the thief laughed twice, he said: "A certain family thinks so, anyway, we have to break through, isn't it the same where to break through?"
Therefore, a certain family thinks that it is better for us to use the fire horse array to impact the location of the enemy's main general, maybe we can still take down the high level! ”
Lu Bu was really a little unwilling, obviously Yuan Shao was not far away, he could completely take Yuan Shao down in one go.
But after some discussion between them, they found that Yuan Shao turned out to be a hot potato.
In this way, it made Lu Bu as disgusting as eating a big-headed fly.
So he wanted to bring some "small gifts" back when he left, and calm the disgusting feeling in his heart.
And this "little gift" is the main general who surrounded and suppressed them - Gao Lan.
After Zhang Liao heard Lu Bu's words, there was also some movement in his eyes.
But after a long while, he sighed dejectedly, shook his head, and said, "It's not the best choice for me to bring Gao Ran back now.
If I want to take out my anger with Gao Lan, leaving him behind is the biggest punishment for him! ”
"What do you mean by that?!" After Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao's words, his brows immediately furrowed tightly, he didn't understand why Zhang Liao said this, why he was punishing the enemy by letting go of the enemy?
However, he knew that Zhang Liao would never be untargeted, so he looked at Zhang Liao closely with his eyes, looking forward to his later text.
