Chapter 256: Fighting at Night
Cheng Yu applauded and smiled: "What the lord said is very good, Dong Zhuo's instigated person is nothing more than a fast soldier, as long as his strength is exhausted again and again, can he still be angry, his subordinates have a plan, Lu Bu array, the front is the cavalry, the back is the foot pawn, it is said that one person can lure Lu Bu to fight in front of the formation, but secretly make people lead a surprise army to raid Lu Bu's rear formation, with infantry against infantry, our army is in hand, Lu Bu's rear army is in chaos, it will inevitably pull the front army, at this time the lord waved the army to cover the kill, but he took advantage of the situation to seize the county. ”
Liu Xin muttered: "Although this plan is wonderful, it's just that someone can drag Lu Bu alone without him noticing." ”
While speaking, a soldier suddenly entered the account to report that Huang Zhong had arrived with heavy grain and grass.
Liu Xin was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, it's coming so fast." ”
Huang Zhong had already entered the big tent, and said loudly: "The last general is going to work at night, and he doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest. ”
Liu Xin is different from other armies in the war, the dependence on baggage is very heavy, the grain and grass fall second, the most important thing is that the number of equipment and arrows is huge, and the transportation is extremely difficult, just take the equipment as an example, other armies in the siege or other times, all kinds of equipment are made on the spot, and Liu Xin's trebuchet, punch, ladder, well is carefully made and debugged by the research institute, and then disassembled into various parts, transported to the battlefield and then assembled, the advantage of this is that the assembled equipment is high precision, powerful, Strong and durable, but at the same time it also increases the burden of transportation, with these equipment, especially trebuchets, Liu Xin's confidence in tomorrow's battle has increased dramatically.
The next morning, Lu Bu really reorganized the people, and then shouted and scolded in front of the battle, Liu Xin led the army out again surrounded by the generals, and formed a formation to confront Lu Bu, and the comparison of the forces of the two sides did not change anything, it was still 50,000 against 100,000,
Lu Bu still rode alone to the front of the formation, pointed at Liu Xin in the middle of the formation, and said loudly: "Yesterday you were three enemies and one, which is really a villain's behavior, and today there are people who dare to fight alone with Lu Bu, if not, go back to Jingzhou as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed here." ”
Liu Xinjun, a lieutenant general, galloped out and shouted: "Lu Bu Xiao'er doesn't want to be arrogant, do you recognize Nanyang Huang Zhong." ”
Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Nobody dares to come and send him to death, let's call the black man from yesterday to come out." ”
Huang Zhong looked up to the sky and smiled: "You have tried the treasure knife in my hand." ”
After speaking, he urged the war horse under his crotch, brandished the Chixia knife and slashed it at Lu Bu's head, Lu Bu was not in a hurry, Fang Tian's halberd was picked hard, only to hear a loud sound of "dang", both of them were taken aback, and they invariably secretly said, what a lot of strength, the horse hit a chain, the two of them made a mistake, and turned back and fought in one place, this fight was more intense than yesterday, and the fight lasted more than 100 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat,
In history, Huang Zhong was still able to fight Xiahou Yuan in his twilight years, and now he is at the peak of his life, regardless of physical strength, reaction, and speed are in the best state, and he can kill the surname, and the Chixia knife in his hand is as fast as a move, and Lu Bu fought on a par with each other, and the soldiers on both sides were stunned, and they even forgot to shout and cheer for a while.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, it was almost noon, Liu Xin knew that Huang Zhong's war horse was not as good as Lu Bu, lest he make any mistakes, and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, Huang Zhong raised his knife to hold Lu Bu's halberd, and said loudly: "The military order is like a mountain, don't dare not retreat, you and I will fight again in the afternoon, how." Lu Bu knew that this person was the first rival in his life, and he also said in a deep voice: "Then fight again in the afternoon, I'm afraid you are not a hero." "Each side has its own troops,
At noon, Huang Zhong changed a war horse, first came to Lu Bu to fight in front of the battle, Lu Bu was anxious, regardless of the persuasion of Song Xian and others, he raised the halberd and got on the horse to fight Huang Zhong again, the two had a big battle, until the sun was setting in the west, and still did not distinguish the winner or loser.
Liu Xin anxiously looked in the direction of Lu Bu's rear army, but there was no movement.
Cheng Yu knew his intentions, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord, Gao Shun and Wen Ping are both cautious people, the two of them are good at using soldiers, even if they encounter any trouble on the road, they will deal with it properly, and they will definitely not lose." ”
It turned out that Liu Xin had quietly ordered Gao Shun and Wen Ping to lead 30,000 foot soldiers, and after making a detour to Lu Bu's camp, he was ready to sneak attack Lu Bu's rear army, and seeing that it was getting late, Liu Xin knew that there would be no results today, and seeing that Huang Zhongza's war horse was already a little tired, he hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops,
Huang Zhong had just changed his horse, and before he could return to the camp, there was a sudden drumbeat in the opposite formation, and when Huang Zhong turned his head to look, he saw Lu Bu leaping out of his horse again, and shouted: "Huang Zhong, do you dare to fight with me at night." ”
Liu Xin saw that Huang Zhong was eager to try, stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "It's getting late, let's fight again tomorrow." ”
Huang Zhong also killed the surname, waved the treasure knife in his hand, and said: "Qi Yu Lord, the last general has been since he came out, and today he finally met an opponent, please arrange more torches for the lord, and the last general is willing to fight with him all night." ”
Liu Xin knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, since you want to fight at night, I will personally beat the drum for you." ”
Huang Zhong and Lu Bu continued to duel in front of the pass, you went back and forth, and fought for more than 50 rounds, and thousands of torches were lit in the armies on both sides, illuminating the battlefield as if it were daytime.
Lu Bu saw the fight until now, still can't defeat Huang Zhong, secretly made a plan, reined in the horse and left, Huang Zhong saw this, chased after him, although the red rabbit horse is a peerless horse, but from the morning to the present, it is also gradually tired, and Huang Zhong's war horse is not as good as it, the victory is to wait for work, the foot strength is not the slightest, Lu Bu glimpsed Huang Zhong gradually catching up, secretly took off the carved bow, picked up the feather arrow, looked back at the moon, and shouted. ”,
He only thought that he was good at riding and shooting, but how did he know that the opponent was the first arrow in the world, Huang Zhong had already seen his movements, and also took off the strong bow, seeing this arrow coming to the front, he was not in a hurry, flashed lightly, and copied it casually, and actually grabbed the arrow in his hand, and pulled the strong bow like a full moon, and also shouted. ”
Lu Bu heard the sound of the bowstring, lowered his head in a panic, but never saw an arrow shot, knowing that he was being played by Huang Zhong, he couldn't help but be furious, turned over and killed back, and suddenly heard another bowstring sound, Lu Bu hurriedly subconsciously turned his head, only to feel a hot pain on his cheeks, reached out and touched it, it was full of blood, and Huang Zhong's arrow wiped a deep blood mark on his handsome face, almost killing him, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat,
Huang Zhong took advantage of the situation to wave the Chixia knife and rushed up, Lu Bu had been frightened by his arrow, did not dare to fight, and left, in terms of martial arts alone, Lu Bu is definitely one of the best heroes, but the character is not flattering, he is not only greedy for money and lustful, forgetting righteousness for profit, but also greedy for life and afraid of death, after he was caught by Cao Ying in history, his subordinates Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun would rather die than surrender, but he was the first to kneel on the ground, begging Cao Ying to spare his life, and now, Huang Zhong's arrow will shoot his pride without a trace, How not to shoot the horse and run,
Song Xian, Wei Xu and the others saw that Lu Bu, who was invincible in their minds, was really defeated, and they were all scattered, so they didn't go out to save them, but quietly retreated.
Liu Xin saw it clearly in the battle, Lu Bu's military heart had been shaken, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he didn't care where the ambush soldiers who carried out the sneak attack were, he waved his horsewhip towards the opposite side and shouted: "Kill." ”
Lu Bu's front army is all cavalry, the two armies hedged, it is their strength, but unfortunately Lu Bu was only busy fleeing for his life, and he had no time to give orders, but Song Xian and others only knew to retreat, for a time the group of dragons had no leader, and the soldiers did not know whether to advance or retreat, at this critical juncture, Lu Bu's rear army first shouted, chaotic, and rushed forward, when Lu Bu turned his head in a hurry, he saw a fire in the rear rushing straight to the clouds, obviously attacked by the enemy, and did not dare to return to the formation, and walked into the oblique stab,
Seeing this scene, Liu Xin knew that Gao Shun and Wenpin had already succeeded, so he took the opportunity to shout: "Lu Bu's camp has been lost, brothers, go up, don't let anyone go." ”
The three armies shouted in unison, rushed up, and entered the enemy formation, although the enemy cavalry in Xiliang was brave, but there was no equipment such as stirrups, and still relied on cavalry and archery to fight with the enemy, and now it was rushed into the formation by the infantry, and it could not be used at all, and even a percent of the usual combat power could not be exerted, and the main generals did not know where to flee to, who was willing to continue to work here, and they also turned their horses and fled,
This melee went straight to the end of the three watches, counted the battlefield, captured nearly 10,000 horses, beheaded more than 30,000 people, and surrendered more than 30,000 people, Lu Bu's 100,000 army escaped less than 30 percent, Liu Xin did not collect the troops, waved his army and went straight to Fu County, the city wall of Fu County is not high, and there are not many guards, I heard that even Lu Bu was defeated, where did the county commander He Ren dare to resist, when he heard the report, he didn't even have time to wear clothes, he only put on a single coat, got up from the bed barefoot, and ordered to open the door and surrender,
Lu Bu escaped more than 30 miles in one breath, and then re-encamped the camp, gathered the fleeing military horses, there were still more than 30,000 people left, fortunately, the elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry had 20,000 people escaped, which made him feel a little comforted, but the captain Cheng Lian and the surname Cao both died in the chaos, which made Lu Bu sigh, and he ordered someone to take the bronze mirror, and saw the deep scar on his face, he was shocked and hateful in his heart, gritted his teeth but helpless,
Dong Zhuo led the army out of Chang'an City, and did not immediately pull out, until the Qiang soldiers and the Hun soldiers two army horses arrived, then the army together, went south, walked for two days, set up camp outside the Sanguan, and the next morning, the army did not pull out the village and set off, and received an urgent report sent by Lu Bu's fast horse,
Hearing that Lu Bu's soldiers were defeated and wounded, Dong Zhuo was not shocked, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, Dong Zhuo has also appointed many officials in the court in order to collect the hearts of scholars in recent years, but these people are all yang and yin to him, and it is his old subordinates who are really loyal to him, but although there are many generals under him, they are all martial artists, and Li Ru is the only one who is really good at scheming.
Li Ru understood the general situation, and pondered for a long time, then stroked the short beard under his chin and said: "Liu Xin is holding the power of the new victory, and he can't directly attack his front, the Taishi can order Lu Bu to withdraw the army, and set up camp outside this Sanguan, and form a horn with Sanguan, hold on to Liu Xin, first frustrate his sharpness, and then wait and see its changes." ”
