Chapter 1002 The decisive battle of the foreign race
Chapter 1002 The decisive battle between the extra clan fortune
It was soon late August.
Guan Yu in Datong City and Lu Bu in Jiuyuan County also received private messages from Zhuge Liang on August 22 and 25 respectively.
Unfortunately, these two people's arrogance and greedy temperament have obviously fully utilized. No one thinks that Zhuge Liang's reminder is necessary. Instead, they are still envious of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's continuous contributions and rewards over the past two years.
Guan Yu is pretty good, at least he won’t doubt Zhuge Liang’s motives.
After Lu Bu received the letter, he threw it away: "Haha, Zhuge Liangru, what kind of friendship does he have with me? He is afraid that this general will make meritorious contributions, so Liu Bei will not be rewarded! The court has been fighting against each other, and the opportunity to make meritorious and promote meritorious service is given to Guan, Zhang, Zhao, and it has not been a year or two!
It’s hard to be granted Li Guang, because we followed Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao to the wrong team. Although we later made many military achievements against the Qiang people in the Xianbei region, we were not as good as Li Guang, and we were in middle age. We were a general who was in the Northern Expedition fifteen years ago, but we are still now!
Now Tuoba Liwei's main force has been repeatedly weakened and restrained by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. The current situation is very similar to what we took more than ten years ago to attract the main force of Xianbei by Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. We burned the Shengle Royal Court with Wen Yuan! Alas, it’s a pity that the court said that we should rest and recuperate every year, and Wen Yuan did not wait until the end of destroying the Xianbei."
As Lu Bu spoke, he was quite moved and burst into tears. It turned out that during the peace years, Zhang Liao had already died of illness.
Zhang Liao's lifespan should have been more than that, but during the Battle of Hanoi in his early years, he was seriously injured, leaving behind severe disability and missing arms and legs.
Later, when Lu Bu surrendered, Zhang Liao was released as a bargaining chip to show the court's leniency and sincerity, he finally participated in some small-scale counterattacks against the Xianbei.
He himself was unable to go into battle to kill the enemy, at least he could command and make some contributions, which was considered a bit of shame. Later, he was too disabled and could not survive the harsh and severe days of wind and sand. He died of illness less than a little over fifty years old. Considering his early war crimes, he ended up like this, which was a good ending.
At this moment, Lu Bu remembered his old subordinates who had relapsed and died. Seeing that he was already gray in the silver mirror, he was of course eager to make further contributions.
Zhuge Liang's slutty straits, he couldn't bear it!
That night, Lu Bu drank a hard drink and fell asleep in a daze, and had forgotten about this.
Unexpectedly, after only two or three days, a fighter plane was placed in front of him.
A scout under his command who was sent out to patrol and post to detect the enemy situation on a daily basis came back, bringing him a military situation.
"Report to General! Tuoba Liwei was led by a high-ranking official, saying that he had fought several bloody battles with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in Liucheng County. Although he was defeated, many casualties were killed and injured. However, in Liucheng, Chifeng was burned, killed and looted, and intercepted countless people, money, grain and materials.
I heard that the Xianbei people also seized a lot of rye and ripples. I hope to try planting them around the vast sea of northern desert in the next year. If it is feasible, it will be able to be separated from the Han Dynasty in the future.
These military information were discovered by the last generals who went out to patrol and explored the two Xianbei tribes north of Yinshan, near the Yanhuyi area."
The "Salt Lake" mentioned by this scout officer is certainly not a formal place name, but Lu Bu can at least understand it.
That place is roughly equivalent to the Erlianhot area on the Xilingol grassland in later generations. There are rivers and salt lakes nearby, which is regarded as a link between the army through the south and the north of the desert.
The road from Hohhot to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, later generations also passed through the Sino-Mongolia border from this area. So geographically, it is indeed easy to find transit supply stations across the desert nearby, with water sources, oasis and salt lakes.
Based on Lu Bu's previous understanding of the Xianbei people, when the Xianbei people "robbed a lot of wealth in the south of the desert, but had insufficient troops and could not hold them for a long time, and wanted to transfer to the north of the desert", they would often hoard in this transit station oasis area that communicated with the south of the desert, and then gathered enough numbers, and then sent them to the north of the desert, and then sent them to the north of the desert.
But in previous years, Lu Bu had no chance to rob or attack the rear stronghold of the Xianbei people.
Because the Xianbei people either have no people or wealth in the local area, they can go to the grassland without any people.
Or even though he had just grabbed a large amount of valuable supplies, the army was stationed nearby, and Lu Bu could not defeat it.
In short, it is difficult to seize the god-given opportunity of "more wealth and women and children, but few combat troops".
This time, after receiving this news, Lu Bu instinctively felt that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it. He always felt that if the local area really hoarded the wealth and important species seeds plundered by the Xianbei people, the army would definitely return to the rescue soon, and there would not be much time difference to catch.
Therefore, he was very cautious in mobilizing the troops while continuing to send scouts to increase harassment.
However, as Lu Bu's investigation network spread farther and farther away, the scouts brought back more and more good news to Lu Bu during the reconnaissance and harassment in the following days.
Tuoba Liwei seemed to be really careless again! His army was still fighting with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun on the grassland near Liucheng County!
The surrounding area of Yanhu City in the rear is wealth and the elderly, weak, women and children! It is as empty as the Xianbei royal court Shengle City, which was burned by Lu Bu fifteen years ago!
"God helps me! I, Lu Bu, can have another chance to burn the Xianbei people to hoard military wealth nests after fifteen years! Tuoba Liwei, Tuoba Liwei, you still have the face to call me Khan, but I can defeat it twice with the same trick!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed and immediately pointed out the cavalry from Jiuyuan and Yunzhong to burn, kill and loot on the grassland.
...
Although Lu Bu was reckless and greedy for merit, his battlefield command and tactical qualities were still world-class.
Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game, a character has a low intelligence value, which just means that he lacks a sense of the overall situation, and it does not mean that the "commander" value is also low.
Therefore, despite making strategically wrong aggressive decisions, Lu Bu was still very strict in the process of implementation, marching and dispatching, scouts and investigations, and they were all very organized and beaten in an orderly manner.
Anyone who is a little careless and relaxed by Tuoba Liwei will seize the opportunity to beat him up. Anyone who is a little more ambushed by the Xianbei army will be slightly tighter and will make Lu Bu immediately alert.
Fortunately, although Tuoba Liwei is not very intelligent, he has one advantage, that is, he is the loser when he last fought against Lu Bu.
He can study his opponent's mentality, but it is difficult for Lu Bu to study Tuoba Liwei's mentality, nor would he think of studying it.
It’s like playing an e-sports competition. If any team wins the world championship, they will be researched wildly by other potential opponents targeting them.
However, the world champion was confused and did not know how to "be studied instead", and there was no anchor target to study.
As one goes up and down, relying on his grasp of Lu Bu's mentality and the adviser to the senior officials, Tuoba Liwei still used a very risky way to gradually lure Lu Bu into the encirclement.
For example, Tuoba Liwei hid his main force very well, at least more than 100 miles away from the main battlefield of Yanhuyi preset ambush. In the direction of Lu Bu's origin, the ambush was even more ambushes.
On the other hand, Tuoba Liwei personally brought the central army as bait to supervise the battle, but his flag formation was not as good as the Khan's flag, and he just let the bait general stand up the flag.
The purpose is to "once Lu Bu approaches Yanhuyi and is ready to start burning, killing and looting", the scouts who can be sent out "just right" to find the once-in-a-lifetime fighter that directly blocks the Xianbei Khan who is preparing to return to Yanhuyi and then travel through the desert north to retreat to Langjuxu".
Therefore, based on the original plan, Lu Bu was tempted to pursue further.
In this way, the troops surrounding the side and back can have enough time to be maneuvered, making it difficult for Lu Bu to go too far and escape back.
All this could be understood by Tuoba Liwei himself, and even the Han generals with a little IQ, but the Xianbei reckless men around him were not very supportive and always felt dangerous.
For example, when Tuoba Liwei's powerful general Che Gulu repeatedly advised Khan not to take risks during the process of luring the enemy: "Khan, is it too risky for our army to deploy like this? I am really entangled by Lu Bu, I am afraid that there will be no time to assemble the army. We must not be deceived by those cunning Han people."
Tuoba Liwei waved his hand without doubt: "After this matter, I will leave the things I use to the Han people, and I will not doubt the use of people. Although Lu Bu has no plans, he has a very alert sense of smell on the battlefield.
If the ambush is not far away, he will find it in advance. The bait is not tempting enough, nor is it enough to allow Lu Bu to temporarily change his mind and pursue it further. Now is the critical moment for my Xianbei to survive and die in the southern part of the desert.
The grassland in the south of the desert has been cut off by the Han people from the east of the Great Xianbei Mountain. If we can win this battle and annihilate a part of the Han army, then we can hold on to the grassland west of the Great Xianbei Mountain and north of the Yinshan Mountain for a few more years.
If this battle is defeated again, Mo Nan will have no place to stand. It is no big deal to take risks in this kind of life-and-death battle, and everyone should have used their lives!"
(Note: The Daxianbei Mountain is the Daxinganling Mountains. The Xianbei people call this mountain the Daxianbei Mountains)
Tuoba Liwei's last efforts were indeed not in vain.
Two or three days later, as Lu Bu traveled across the grassland, he cautiously arrived at Yanhu City, which was near Erlianhot in later generations, and was preparing to start a fire and destroy the supply node between the south and the north of the desert. The "unexpected joys" arranged by Tuoba Liwei were discovered by Lu Bu one by one.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and really thought that Tuoba Liwei was carrying his own army and his troops, preparing to fight the Donghu Grassland Battle in the east, and then retreating to the north of Mobei. However, the main force of other Xianbei tribes was not around Tuoba Liwei, and there was a rare opportunity to "accidentally encounter a painful shot down the Khan alone."
Lu Bu did pursue him even deeper, and he neglected to continue to investigate the two wings and the back road, and fought with chicken blood.
In Lu Bu's opinion, although he only had more than 10,000 people, his entire army was full of cavalry and his equipment was better than Xianbei people. What's there to be afraid of? Lu Bu thought about defeat in his mind, but never thought about the possibility of "we personally lead the pure cavalry unit, and after he can't defeat it, he can't even run away."
After many years, Lu Bu was defeated, but he was never surrounded by others. When something was wrong, breaking through was easier than eating and drinking water.
On the third day of the September 19th, on the prairie about 100 miles north of Erlianhot, Lu Bu finally caught up with Tuoba Liwei on the edge of the desert.
During the pursuit, Tuoba Liwei almost encountered danger several times. At critical moments, he divided his dead soldiers and elite soldiers from his subordinates desperately intercepted and attacked Lu Bu, delaying the retreat of the Khan's cavalry.
Of course, all the Xianbei warriors died without exception under the military front of Lu Bu's army. It was like the Han family who gave Zhao Yun the first to go out of Qishan in the Romance.
Tuoba Liwei's character at that time was as embarrassed as Xiahou Wei, who was still chased by Zhao Yun to Fengming Mountain after the Han family was killed in the Romance.
Unfortunately, when the game was done, the last fangs were revealed.
Early this morning, Lu Bu saw that he had killed three or four waves of Xianbei people who had delayed the procrastination in one or two days before, and was about to catch up with Tuoba Liwei.
Behind Tuoba Liwei, on the horizon, there were suddenly countless cavalrymen, covering the sky and the sun. The war horses galloped towards each other, and the speed was naturally fast. In a moment, Tuoba Liwei met with the main force of the Xianbei cavalry ambushed in the rear.
At the same time, Lu Bu's left and right wings, and even the direction of his origin, also appeared one after another within a quarter of an hour.
Tuoba Liwei changed his previous embarrassment, just like when Xiahou Qing successfully surrounded Zhao Yun, she smiled grimly, and even made the swearing players start cursing wildly, hitting Lu Bu's morale:
"Old Lu Bu! Don't be rampant! You think that Ben Khan really can't fight you? You are just afraid that after defeating you, you will give you a chance to fight and run away, so you are forbearing for a moment and delaying the encircled troops!
Now you have pursued more than five or six hundred miles deep into the grassland, even more than a hundred miles north of Yanhu City. This is already the edge of the desert. If you dare to die, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not come to save you! Today I will wipe out your reputation for bravery forever!"
Tuoba Liwei spent a lot of money this time and brought up the remaining 110,000 troops in the entire clan.
He even forced tens of thousands of young and old people who were already over the age of service, basically bringing all the Xianbei men who could take weapons in the southern desert to the battlefield, and the tribe survived and died here.
By this calculation, his number of troops was nearly ten times that of Lu Bu!
Lu Bu's pupils shrank several times, and he was a little shocked, but he soon calmed down.
Lu Busen yelled: "Tuoba Liwei! You have the courage to lure me as a bait for this game. Even if you can surround me, Lu Bu, you can't stop me from killing you!"
Lu Bu, who was trapped in a heavy siege, also felt a sense of ruthlessness in his heart.
He vaguely felt that today was probably unfortunate. After all, he chased him too far, and he didn't expect to be surrounded by the main force of the Xianbei clan. However, Tuoba Liwei was nearby outside the land of several arrows. If he fled first if he was afraid to fight, the Xianbei army would definitely be in chaos.
If Tuoba Liwei does not escape and insists on stabilizing the morale of the army to command the decisive battle, then Lu Bu will first capture the thief and capture the king, and attack the Khan! That will be a glimmer of hope.
"The whole army attacks! Don't worry about the flanks and rear troops, let me kill Tuoba Liwei!"
After Lu Bu figured it out, he was also very decisive. He concentrated all the elites around him and launched a desperate rush in a wedge-shaped formation. In his eyes, he had the only goal to kill Khan first.
"Lu Bu actually wants to kill Gu? Gu is ten times more numerous, how dare he?" Tuoba Liwei's side, of course, was also attacking Lu Bu who was rushing into the formation like rain. The cavalry on both sides also surrounded him and launched an attack.
Chapter completed!
