Chapter 177: Dingzi Strange Array

"Haha. You and these young people are the pillars of the future country, and they should be united and fraternal. Champion, although you are prestigious, don't forget your ambition to cry out for the poor people in the world that day.

Although my apprentice has not yet achieved fame, he has always had great ambitions and understands the way of benevolence. Although he is slightly larger than you, in terms of merit, the attainer comes first, and you can be regarded as his predecessor. Thou shalt promote him more in the future.

If the old man can one day see you and him working hand in hand to create a new future for the Han, then the old man can be said to be happy and happy. ”

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, Liu Bei also took advantage of this to bow again, and said the word please, which made Wen Han very embarrassed, and hurriedly promised Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, the two masters and apprentices, that they would definitely assist Liu Bei in the future.

After this night's banquet, the relationship between the three Wen Han brothers and the Liu Bei brothers has improved a lot. Of course, without Lu Zhi, a very prestigious old-timer, as a matchmaker, this relationship will not be eased so quickly.

Later, Lu Zhi was old and unaccustomed to staying up late, so he left first. After Wen Han, Liu Bei and the others chatted for a while, they became very familiar, and Liu Bei's brothers kept sending Wen Han and them back to the tent before they were willing to leave.

The night passed, and it was early the next morning.

Wen Han and Guan Yu both wore their upper bodies, with sandbags tied to their legs, and led their corporals to run around the barracks. Running can train the endurance and explosiveness of the human body, which is an indispensable process for daily training in the Wenhan army, and it is also an appetizer for daily rigorous training.

Wen Han attaches great importance to the training of his military horses, he treats people well on weekdays, and can laugh and talk with his subordinates, but once it is time to train, Wen Han will become extremely strict, and can even be said to be mean.

Every day's training process is never allowed to be left behind, no matter the hot summer, cold winter, wind and rain, the intensity of training will not be reduced by half at all. Under Wen Han's command, although he had to endure ultra-intense training, especially some training programs that were unheard of, no one thought of giving up.

All because of this, Wen Han gave a very generous salary, far superior to other armies, and even the new 2,000 guards were frightened by the high salary when they first joined. Of course, no one would be suspicious of taking a lot of money, although they wondered where Wen Han got so many silver taels, but they all tacitly agreed not to ask more about this question.

Wen Han and Guan Yu led their soldiers to run for half an hour, because the soldiers had weights under their feet, except for a thousand Black Wind Riders, the rest of the new rookie recruits were sweating and panting.

Those recruits da

Zi looked at the thousand Black Wind Cavalry veterans who were running at the front, although they were sweating, they were breathing smoothly, especially Wen Han. Guan Yu, the two leading officials, looked even more calm and relaxed, almost making people mistakenly think that the weight-bearing running just now was just an ordinary leisurely stroll.

They were shocked, and their eyes widened and they looked incredible.

Wen Han let his subordinates rest for less than half a pillar of incense, and he was about to continue the next training process. Suddenly, thirty miles away from the camp, the drums beat loudly, and the sound of cymbals echoed fiercely.

Wen Han frowned, and after casting a glance at Guan Yu, Guan Yu understood that he immediately straightened out the soldiers. Wen Han, on the other hand, hurriedly ran to Lu Zhi, who was inspecting the training of various armies.

"Report! Lu Zhonglang! Thirty miles outside the camp, there were 80,000 Yellow Turban thieves, led by Zhang Liang, the brother of the thief's first Zhang Jiao, who set up a large formation and invited Ming Jin to fight! ”

As soon as Wen Han ran over, he heard a scout kneeling down on one knee in front of Lu Zhi to report.

"Hmph. What an arrogant thief, the old man has not yet taken the initiative to attack, but he dares to invite the battle. A group of rabble dared to offend the military might of our court. Immediately notify the generals of all armies, and after half an hour, reorganize the soldiers and horses under their command, and follow the old man out of the camp to fight! ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

A cold light flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes, and years of military life made him feel a killing momentum that was not angry but powerful at this moment. After the scout received the order, he quickly rushed to a team of scouts, and dozens of people rushed around to spread the order for Lu Zhi to join the army.

Soon in the barracks, the soldiers and horses of the various armies were quickly gathered, and the sergeants and soldiers put on their armor, held their weapons, and lined up in formation. Led by the generals, they came to report in front of Lu Zhi, and then Lu Zhi led the whole army to fight.

Except for the 10,000 soldiers who were guarded by Sima Zhen, an army under Lu Zhi, the rest of the 50,000 soldiers were led by his generals, who were neat and tidy under the leadership of Lu Zhi, and went straight to the outside of the camp with great momentum.

This was the first time in history that Wen Han participated in a major war of more than 100,000 people on both sides after crossing the Eastern Han Dynasty. His heart was excited, his heart was pounding, and at the same time there was a kind of nervousness, but this nervousness not only did not make Wen Han feel the slightest fear, but because he felt that he was indeed living in the moment.

Wen Han tightly grasped the tiger-headed silver spear in his hand, and settled his mind, at this time, the distance between the two armies was only less than three miles away, the yellow turban formation was shaped like a bell and narrow, with handles, and rows of cymbals made of copper, Wen Han could almost clearly see that every vibration from it would make every muscle in Wen Han's body twitch with extreme excitement.

80,000 Yellow Turban Army, the formation is extremely weird, similar to a 'Ding' word, the left and right mouths are composed of swords and spearmen, the center and rear gather countless archers, and in the center, you can see two teams of strong men with sledgehammers, these strong men support a general wearing a yellow robe and wearing a pair of leopard head carved armor, wrapped in a yellow scarf around the general, at a glance you know that this person is the leading general, Zhang Liang.

Lu Zhi's face was calm, his brows were deeply locked, and he looked at the strange formation posed by the yellow scarf, this formation was so strange that even he, a veteran who had been fighting for many years, had never seen it.

Lu Zhi was afraid of making a mistake, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and he was thinking about it. Suddenly, two generals ran out of their formation and rushed from the left and right.

"Why didn't Lu Gong give the order to attack for a long time? This fighter can be described as a flash, the first attacker to seize the initiative, if it is half a point slower, lose the initiative, Lu Gong can hardly escape the blame! ”

General Feng is right, Lu Gongru staggered, affecting the morale of the army, and it is very likely that the Yellow Turban Thief Army will take the initiative to attack and lose the initiative. Lu Gong has been fighting for many years, don't you understand this common sense? ”

The person who came was Feng Fang and Zhao Rong among the eight captains of the West Garden, the two of them had just arrived in Lu Zhi's army, and Wen Han, who had arrived first, had already won a great merit, and they were anxious, afraid that they would be compared to Wen Han in front of the saint.

In their eyes, no matter how many the Yellow Turban thieves are, they are just a group of peasants with weapons, and the whole thing is a big cake that can be slaughtered, and the two of them want to share most of this big cake, and they are very anxious in their hearts, but when they see that Lu Zhi has not given the order to attack for a long time, they immediately dislike it in their hearts, and they run to urge the battle.

"It's not that the old man is staggering, but that the thief army is in a strange formation, and the old man hasn't thought of a way to break the formation."

Although Lu Zhi was very angry in his heart, he didn't dare to offend these two people with a big background in the court, especially that Feng Fang was the son-in-law of Cao Jie, one of the ten permanent servants, and Cao Jie was a villain who was black and white, retribution, and narrow-minded.

Therefore, no matter how much Lu Zhi dislikes Feng Fang, he must swallow it in his stomach, so as not to be framed by his father-in-law and end up with an unnecessary crime. Since the Ten Standing Servants gained power, I don't know how many loyal ministers in the court have been framed by him, and all of them not only died ugly, but also had many crimes fabricated out of thin air by his evil crown after his death.

In this regard, people like Lu Zhi, who do not have the support of the wealthy clan behind them, and are from poor families, can only dare to be angry but dare not speak.

"Humph! What is there to fear from the formation of a group of rabble? I have just seen for a while, and I see that there are gaps on the left and right sides of this formation, and this is the flaw, and I am willing to lead an army to attack from its left.

As for the right, it bothered General Zhao to lead the army to break through. The two of us will attack left and right, and the thieves will definitely be in chaos, and then Lu Gong will order a general attack to win a big victory. ”

Feng Fang looked like he was winning, and said proudly that he had loved the art of war since he was a child, and his ability to talk about war on paper was very good, so he was favored by Cao Jie and made him his son-in-law.

And Zhao Rong heard that Feng Fang arranged him, and he was very grateful to Feng Fang, a good brother, and hurriedly responded.

"General Feng is really extraordinary, according to what you said, this thief army is like a chicken! I am willing to cooperate with General Feng's strategy and attack from the right! ”

Lu Zhi saw that Feng Fang and Zhao Rong were all confident, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and the most taboo thing about marching and fighting was to talk about troops on paper and underestimate the enemy's arrogance.

Feng Fang and Zhao Rong committed both of these points.

Lu Zhi's face changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was rejected by Feng Fang with a strong expression.

"Gong Lu, I respect you as a veteran in the army, so I can endure again and again and obey your orders. However, you are old, old and dizzy, and you don't know how to handle the battle. Now, is it possible that you still want to prevent us from making meritorious contributions to the court and killing the enemy and breaking the formation? If this battle is defeated because of this, I will definitely know my father-in-law, and let him participate in you in front of the saint! ”

"Hmph. General Feng should not say more to this timid old horseman, we will lead the army to break the enemy. After successfully defeating the enemy, this old horseman naturally knows that the two of us are powerful! ”

After Zhao Rongman said a sentence disdainfully, he immediately snapped back to his team, straightened out the soldiers and horses, and saw that he was about to give the order to attack. And Feng Fang saw that Zhao Rong had left, snorted coldly, and regardless of Lu Zhi's reaction, he also rode back to the army. The two of them were staring at no one and lawless.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi's face was full of helplessness, and his old body was constantly trembling.

Sure enough, after a while, Feng Fang and Zhao Rong led 5,000 cavalry under his command, a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to the left and right sides of the thief army's large array.

Most of Feng Fang and Zhao Rong's subordinates were selected from the palace guards, and if they were ordinary soldiers, all of them had the ability to fight one against three, not to mention these Yellow Turban thieves composed of ordinary people and peasants. Feng Fang and Zhao Rong are full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under their command.
