Yanshi City, here is one of the few cities in Luoyang that has not been destroyed by Dong Zhuoxi's Liang soldiers, but this does not mean that Yanshi City is intact, on the contrary, the people here have been poisoned by Lu Bu and the state soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it was a merger of state soldiers, there were not many Han people under Lu Bu's command, except for 1,200 original merger soldiers and 1,300 prisoners, the rest of the nearly 3,000 people were all foreigners. The Southern Xiongnu, Tugehu, and Qiang, these alien races who wandered and settled in Liangzhou, were all used by the Han people to fight.

The most effective places in the world, that is, the part of Liangzhou that is close to the state, where the people are called the Liangjiazi of the Six Counties, is the best place in the world to recruit soldiers. They have been practicing martial arts since childhood, Xiaoqiang fighting, galloping horses and archery, and there are many famous generals out of those six counties. Li Guang of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Chongguo, and now Dong Zhuo...... They all embarked on the road of conquest as the sons of good families in the six counties.

Except for those places, the imperial court preferred to let the rest of the people go farming. The matter of war should be left to the foreigners.

It is not that the warriors of foreign races are absolutely stronger than the Han people in terms of force, this is only because of the way the imperial court treats foreign people, ostensibly allowing foreign people to move inward, in exchange for a stable life, it has to provide military support for the Han Dynasty. In fact, it was a means of keeping the foreigners within a controllable force in the form of attrition.

The combat strength of the Bingzhou soldiers under the command of Lu Bu is absolutely strong, and they are familiar with the methods of cavalry and combat formations, and there is also a strong crossbow heavy foot soldier under his command who is all Han people and is valued by Lu Bu as a henchman, but this army has only begun to be reorganized and practiced since Luoyang, and now it has not yet been named and set up a banner.

It was precisely because of the possession of this army under his command and his strong confidence in his personal bravery that Lü Bu occupied Yanshi City for the entire winter, waiting for the Kwantung princes to cross the revolving gate pass and clean them up.

Only a proud person like Lu Bu dared to defend the small city of Yanshi.

What is the situation in Guanzhong now? Behind Lu Bu to the west is Luoyang, which has been burned by Dong Zhuo's subordinates, with a radius of 200 miles from Pingyin in the north to Yique Pass in the south, without a grain of grain. In addition to the annexed state army of Yanshi City, Li Wei guarded Hangu Pass west of Luoyang, Guo Yan guarded Gucheng one hundred and twenty miles east of Hangu Pass, and Xu Rong guarded Yique Pass in the south of Luoyang...... The only salient is the Yanshi City that Lu Bu is firmly defending.

What kind of courage did Lu Bu have to defend the Yanshi and face the Dong coalition army as a lone army?

"General, the anti-thief Yanbei has led the army to Hou's City, and his subordinates have led the army to enter Gongxian County, and the vanguard has gone out of the city to set up camp in the west."

Lu Bu is nine feet long, the same height as Guan Yu, and his face is rare in the world to be unruly and handsome, listening to the news of the return of his subordinates, he frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Horns of each other? ”

The small town of Hou is in the south, and the big city of Gongxian is in the north, which is more than 70 miles apart. These two cities are not far from Yanshi City, and Gongxian County in the north is slightly closer to them. At this time, they are each other's horns for Yanshi City...... In such a situation, there doesn't seem to be much choice left for Lu Bu.

Dagong County is surrounded by the Hou family; If you beat the Hou family, you may lose the Yanshi; If the two sides do not fight, 30,000 soldiers and horses will surround the division and wait for the time of death.

The slender and powerful fingers clenched their fists and pressed them slowly, and the generals under the tent were silent and waited for the main general to speak, and after a short silence, Lu Bu looked up at the generals with a depressed atmosphere, frowned and asked slowly: "What do you ......say?" If these enemies are defeated, what will His Majesty reward when he returns to the court? ”

"General, the enemy is now." There was a martial artist named Gao Shun under Lu Bu's tent, and he frowned and said, "Please think more about how to break the enemy." ”

"Haha, why are you so dull, okay, don't be stunned, send an order to the soldiers to put on armor and lead the horse, and Wei Xu will stay in Yanshi City." Laughing, Lu Bu had already grown up, recruited the attendant warriors to hang large armor on his leather armor, and moved his neck with a skull, and smiled at everyone: "The stupid thief Yanbei in Liaodong, all the gentlemen follow Lu...... Try what they're up to! ”

"No——!"

The generals got up one after another, and they followed Lu Bu, naturally knowing that the generals liked to take risks, and often used small soldiers to attack large armies. But the experience of using troops over the years has taught them that what seems to be a risky move to others has never lost under the leadership of the general.

"Okay, Wenyuan, don't look sad." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and smiled, this man who was born for war never seemed to know the fear of battle, because he was always the one who won, buckled the strap on his shoulder armor, Lu Bu said lightly: "We led 1,200 cavalry over, arrived in Gongxian at noon, demolished their camp outside the city and came back, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Zhang Liao had a bitter gourd face, his chin as long as a crescent moon and his often tightly locked brows made him look like the sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes could not even be washed away, hearing Lu Bu say this, he smiled lightly, which diluted the bitterness on his face and nodded slowly.

Lu Bu didn't care, pointed at Wei Xu at Zhang Liao, and gestured on his face as he spoke: "You should grow a little beard, like him, look majestic and powerful, and be worthy of your bravery!" ”

The generals laughed, Lu Bu was always like this, he didn't seem to want to laugh with people on weekdays, but before the war, his temperament seemed to have changed, as long as he made preparations for war, he would take care of him left and right, and the generals of the Chong Scattered Department were all worried in their hearts.

Gao Shun couldn't help but walk out of the military tent, one step ahead of others to prepare for the expedition, he is an upright person, his character has the best soldier in the world, loyal and strict.

In a moment, the gate of Yanshi City was opened, and more than 1,200 horsemen from Wutun rushed out, roaring and rushing straight to the direction of Gongxian under the leadership of Lu Bu, who was holding Fang Tian's halberd.

And Yanbei's soldiers and horses did not rest for a few days before marching westward as Lu Bu thought, although most of the soldiers and horses were indeed stationed in the city and waiting for the rear baggage to follow, but Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Cao Cao Bao Xin of the front army had already led their troops across the city towards Yanshi City.

Both of them had waited far too long for this battle, spending the entire winter in waiting. Real generals need to coordinate their strategies and wait for the fighters, but are they pure warriors? You just need to go into battle with a knife and divide life and death!

There was no suspense, two hours later, the countryside where more than 2,000 foot soldiers of the two other units commanded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rested entered the field of vision of Lu Bu and others.

This was a real surprise for Lu Bu, he didn't expect to encounter enemy foot soldiers in the undefended countryside, and it looked ...... The commanders of these foot soldiers don't seem to have much experience in battle? There was not even a wooden fence in the place where they camped, but only some sentry posts were set up on the periphery.

This level of defense, in Lu Bu's eyes, is equivalent to not being defended.

There is no way to do this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were only a small army commander of less than 600 people a month ago, and before that, they were more than 200 generals, how talented can they be in commanding soldiers and horses? No matter how talented he is, without accumulation and practice, Cao Cao, who has read I don't know how many military books, has not been beaten by Xu Rong.

Guan Zhang's talent is only reflected in the vicious battles he has experienced, and he has turned the situation around with supernatural bravery - turning what should have been a defeat into a crushing defeat or a major defeat. Since following Liu Bei, he has not won a few battles, and each time he has encountered many times the enemy, and he has risked his life several times, and he has been blessed by God to survive until now.

The camp they set up was not underestimated by Lu Bu.

What was Lu Bu thinking when he saw their camp? He commanded Zhang Liao and others to disperse in three directions to outflank, and when he surrounded more with less, his heart was full of 'but disrespectful'.

This kind of enemy is sent to him by God to press him on the ground and rub it, but it is disrespectful, but it is disrespectful!

It is a danger to make this kind of tactics with less and more in others, but Lu Bu made it a stroke of genius. His original intention was to completely annihilate this army of soldiers and horses, but because of the chaotic camp of Guan and Zhang, he could not find the commander of this army of soldiers and horses, so he could only rely on strong cavalry to disperse and charge to cause confusion to his soldiers, and then pull out the enemy commander from it, so as to completely defeat the fighting spirit of this army of soldiers and horses.

The military thinking of the north was inherited from the extremely high intensity of the disputes of the pre-Qin period in ancient times, and the leading military idea of killing the commander to guide the victory of the war prevailed in the second century. It was not until the following hundred years of chaos that this tactic of beheading the enemy in battle was replicated again and again until it spread throughout the country.

For example, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang in history, and after that, on the battlefield of Xiaoyaojin, Cao Cao relied on Zhang Liao, a northern warrior under his command, to replicate that action to impact Sun Quan.

This method of warfare is extremely simple and difficult to implement, because the conditions are too special - it requires one or more brave and powerful samurai to act as sharp swords to fiercely attack the enemy flank or the front and rear of the army.

And Lu Bu obviously meets this condition, he not only has Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and other athletes, but also has great confidence in his bravery.

"Charge ——!"

As Lu Bu, who was wielding a halberd, shouted the order, the cavalry behind him roared in unison, and the galloping horses' hooves trampled on the grass and loess, rolling up the earth dragon and charging towards the enemy camp in the open area. On its left and right flanks, the unstoppable Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and others also galloped out with horses and swords, and more than 1,000 flying horses from Bingzhou rushed towards the frightened foot soldiers.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't expect that the enemy would still have the courage to kill at the moment when the army was pressing...... Not only did they not expect this, but no one thought that even Sun Qing and Su Fuyan's scouts went to help Cao Cao and Bao Xin settle the camp.

In this position, which was only more than 30 miles away from the important town where 30,000 soldiers and horses were stationed, who would have expected that Lu Bu, who was only a few thousand subordinates, had not led his army to retreat westward, but instead charged against them.

Suddenly, hundreds of cavalry in each of the three directions charged out, and the ground shook with the footsteps of the stampede, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly raised their knives and spears and turned over on their horses, in the chaos, Guan Yu shouted loudly to calm down, Zhang Fei quickly ordered his cronies to bring back the information of the attack for Yanbei, and he raised his spear to clamp the horse's belly and rushed towards the flying Lu Zi banner in front!
