Chapter 683: The Beginning of the Decisive Battle

In the right Beiping City, the generals in the army went to Taishou Mansion after receiving the order.

After Lu Bu took a cursory glance at the battle book in his hand, he handed it to Tian Yu with a faint smile on his face.

"Lord, there is nothing the enemy can do about this, as long as you stick to the city, the enemy army will inevitably retreat, and then the lord will lead the elite division to break them one by one." Tian Yu arched his hand.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, Tian Yu's words were very reasonable, but he was not ready to do this, in Youzhou, the prestige of the Marquis of Jin was far from reaching the same level as the state, he wanted to use victory to tell the soldiers and people of Youzhou, those who dared to invade the counties and counties of Youzhou would be killed, and he Lu Bu was the master of Youzhou, and a hearty victory could make the silent Youzhou army burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

For example, Youzhou and Bingzhou, in the eyes of the princes, are bitter and cold places, the sergeants and soldiers of the army bear hardships and stand hard work, there is not much difference, and now the training methods of the Youzhou army and the Bingzhou army are the same, what is missing is the bloody nature and belief in victory in wartime.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a battle letter ordered by the enemy army, and the enemy army has no other way, Ben Hou's intention, should fight!" Lu Bu said slowly.

Tian Yu's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood Lu Bu's intentions, Lu Bu wanted to use victory to establish his prestige in Youzhou.

"My lord, there are 30,000 enemy troops, and there are only 10,000 soldiers in the city who can fight the battle." Tian Yu said worriedly.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Ben Hou has been fighting for many years, how have he ever been afraid of a large number of enemies, in the past, the Xianbei people gathered 100,000 people to invade Yanmen, Ben Hou did not leave any pieces of armor they killed, only Wuhuan people, Liaodong people and Yan Rou, Ben Hou has not yet taken it into his eyes. ”

The strong confidence revealed by Lu Bu's words also infected the generals in the field, and in front of them was the invincible Marquis of Jin.

"Swear to follow the Marquis of Jin to fight!" Zhang Liao came out of the queue.

The rest of the generals chimed in.

Although he despised the enemy strategically, but in the specific battle, Lu Bu still attached great importance to this battle, he understood that this battle was not only his battle with the enemy, but also with Jizhou, once this battle made the enemy win, the Jizhou army would definitely have a big move, at such a time, he didn't want to fight to the death with the Jizhou army, his eyes were on the grassland, and after cleaning up the Xianbei people, the rear had no worries, it was time to clean up Yuan Shao, otherwise even if it was an attack elsewhere, With the Jizhou army on the sidelines, they don't want to be stable.

After discussing the method of battle with everyone, it was already the second half of the night, and Tian Yu had no worry on his face, from this plan, he could feel that Lu Bu was facing the battle, not without a target, bed crossbows, cavalry, trapped camps, and crossbowmen under Chen Zhi's command, if they could cooperate as expected, it would not be difficult to win this battle.

Among them, the most excited is Hu Chuquan, who can participate in such an occasion, which makes him very useful, which shows that the Marquis of Jin has accepted him, and said on the spot that he will definitely lead the cavalry to drag the cavalry of the coalition army to the death.

The battle has been carried out so far, the Huns' cavalry damage is also very serious, the original 2,000 cavalry, a full loss of sixty percent, in addition to the wounded cavalry, the battle of the soldiers is only more than 500 people, the cavalry of the coalition army is at least 3,000 people, if Tian Yu assigns this task to Hu Chuquan, Hu Chuquan will definitely be dissatisfied, but it is different for Lu Bu, the reason why they Huns worked hard for the Han army is because of the Marquis of Jin.

The Marquis of Jin responded to the battle, which also made Xu You see the hope of victory, if Lu Bu stuck to the right Beiping and did not come out, he could only bear the defeat.

"The strength of the Marquis of Jin is also impossible to ignore with the cavalry and the bed crossbow." Xu You said with a heavy face, this battle is very important for both the coalition forces and Jizhou, but compared to Lu Bu, the disadvantages of the coalition forces are obvious, the three parties are united, there is a lack of cooperation between each other, there is no sharp weapon, and he knows the power of the bed crossbow.

Gongsun Kang echoed: "Lord Xu's words are true, when the two sides are fighting, send elite cavalry to destroy their bed crossbows. ”

Xu You sighed: "How difficult it is, the cavalry under the command of the Marquis of Jin has at least 4,000 people, and although the cavalry of our army has more than 3,000 people, it is difficult to break through the enemy camp and destroy the bed crossbow." ”

"In the opinion of Lord Xu, what should I do?" Yan Rou set her eyes on Xu You.

"When attacking, don't let the foot soldiers too close, three thousand cavalry, on the left and right flanks of the army, beware of the cavalry under the command of the Marquis of Jin, our army is in an advantage in numbers, can be encircled, so that the enemy's bed crossbow is difficult to play the corresponding power, slowly forward, it is not difficult to break the enemy." Xu You said, of course, he also knew that this was just according to his own ideas, how could Lu Bu, who was brave and good at fighting, allow such a situation to happen, I am afraid that the first to fight is the cavalry of both sides, once his own cavalry is defeated in the battle, it will be extremely unfavorable to the army.

"Gather all the archers in one place, obey the command of one general, and all the shield men in front, and be sure to block the enemy's charge, even if the enemy has such a sharp weapon as a bed crossbow, and do not want to break our army's formation." Xu Yu said slowly.

Three days later, the two sides set up troops and horses ten miles east of the city.

It was a bit overcast, and the wind was stronger than ever.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, after listening to the news from the front, Lu Bu frowned slightly, Xu You responded in this way, it was clear that he wanted to win with the advantage of numbers, the power of the bed crossbow was very great, but after the other party gathered all the shield soldiers in one place, the power of the bed crossbow was also greatly weakened, in this case, the enemy archers were extremely terrifying, and the number of archers reached five thousand, which was absolutely terrifying on the battlefield.

"Xu You wants to win in this way, but Ben Hou didn't let him get his wish, and gave an order to let the bed crossbow attack the shield soldiers in one place." Lu Bu ordered, it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, as long as there is a gap in the opponent's shield soldiers, the shield soldiers will definitely panic, and the shield soldiers will have how much confidence to block in the face of the invincible power of the bed crossbow, Xu Yu's idea is good, but it also depends on what kind of army he is.

"Order, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Hu Chuquan, each lead eight hundred cavalry, cover on the left and right flanks, and wait for Benhou's order!"

"Command Gao Shun, trap the camp soldiers in front, Ben Hou will be at the beginning of the battle, to trap the camp and break the enemy's spirit."

After the orders were conveyed, the army moved in an orderly manner.

Compared with the neat formation and sonorous Youzhou Army, the formation of the coalition soldiers is a little scattered, and the shield soldiers of the three sides are gathered in one place, they are not familiar with the generals, and many times after the generals' orders are conveyed, the execution has become another look, and the most taboo on the battlefield is also the same.
