Wen Hou Lu Bu, he had a hard time with Yuan Shu before, but now he feels that he is finally getting better.
Although Yuan Shu did not directly say anything to Lu Bu before, his contemptuous attitude still made Lu Bu somewhat aware of it, and he was inevitably a little depressed.
I originally thought that my unparalleled martial arts would eventually be reused. However, the reality is so cruel. When I say no, it means no matter what, even if it is yes, it is no good. Under such circumstances, Lu Bu stood up for Yuan Shu.
Bian didn't have any space to show off, so he could only leave sadly.
But it seems to be different now. When Yuan Shao heard that Lu Bu came to surrender, he went out of the city to welcome him. This behavior naturally made Lu Bu look good, so he happily stayed with Yuan Shao. This time, he got an important task from Yuan Shao.
, led three thousand cavalry to attack Zhang Yan’s camp in Black Mountain.
Of course, this "important task", the actual situation is not as Lu Bu thought. These three thousand cavalry have another commander, that is, a senior cadre.
The high-ranking cadres were from Chenliu and were married to the Yuan family. Therefore, for these important cavalry, Yuan Shao would naturally feel more at ease if he handed over their control to his own family.
What Lu Bu can directly control is only the 800 cavalry as the vanguard.
Even so, Lu Bu still didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, Yuan Shao probably still didn't fully understand his bravery and commanding ability, so it's understandable that he doesn't have many troops for the time being...
As long as Zhang Yan is captured, things will naturally change.
Zhang Yan's military strength was clearly explained before departure. He even took out a map and explained it carefully, for fear that because Lu Bu had just arrived in Jizhou, he might take the wrong route or something might happen.
What unexpected circumstances caused something to go wrong...
After the arrangements were made, Lu Bu led his headquarters and 800 cavalry, and rushed forward impatiently, dragging down the follow-up troops of senior officials by a large margin.
Calling it reckless, maybe a little bit, but to be honest, Lu Bu actually didn't pay attention to Zhang Yan's military strength at all. Even without Yuan Shao's 800 cavalry, he was the only one, well, one halberd.
You can come and go as easily!
Although Lu Bu has not read many poems and books, but for him who has been working with wolves, barbarians, and horse thieves for many years on the Bingbei grassland, and has made great military achievements while stationed on the border, his keen intuition on the battlefield is unparalleled in the world.
Second.
Needless to say, judging from the distribution on the map, Lu Bu has already noticed that Zhang Yan's military strength has expanded to the limit...
Assuming that Zhang Yan's army is just stationed in one place, and 30,000 to 40,000 people pile up in one place, it will be quite difficult to deal with in an area with mostly plains like Jizhou. Even if the cavalry is fast, it will be slightly slow when charging.
If you accidentally fall into a crowd of people, the only thing left is the word "death". Perhaps it is possible for a person with strong martial arts skills like Lu Bu to break out of the siege, but ordinary soldiers have nothing to do...
But now Zhang Yan has attacked such a large area in such a short time, and the Black Mountain Army is mainly infantry, so the entire army has expanded to the extreme. Even the originally huge force is now dispersed to various points.
On the other hand, they are no different from stragglers.
Although Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was said to have millions, Lu Bu didn't believe it at all.
This million is actually the same imaginary number as the 100,000 that was claimed when the White Wave Army revolted. The real number of the Black Mountain Army is only 500,000, which is about the same, including women, children, the elderly and the weak. Among them, those who can actually go into battle
, that is, 50,000 to 60,000 people. Even if all the young and strong people are included, there are only 70,000 to 80,000 people that can hold up to the sky.
If the millions of troops were really soldiers, Zhang Yan could have swept across Jizhou long ago, so why would he have to huddle in the Black Mountains for many years?
Among these 50,000 to 60,000 people, probably less than one-third are Yellow Turban veterans, soldiers who have seen blood and are somewhat courageous, while the rest are just peasant soldiers with swords, or even
They are worse than ordinary peasants and soldiers. After all, there is a shortage of materials in Black Mountain. Even if they are equipped with weapons, they will be much worse than the weapons that the noble nobles of Jizhou give to their tenants.
How could such people be placed in Lu Bu's heart?
It's just that this time, there is still some distance to get to the area around Yecheng...
The red toad horse had not galloped freely for a long time, and it was very happy to shake its head. For it, letting the wind blow the horse's mane in front of it, and letting the soil churning under the soles of its feet, there is probably no happier thing in the world than running.
Wei Xu pinched the belly of the war horse and drove the horse forward to catch up with him for a while. He was about to catch up with Lu Bu, but the red toad horse looked sideways and saw that there was still someone trying to catch up with me?
He suddenly became a little unhappy, snorted, spread his hooves, and left Wei Xu far behind...
"Wen Hou!" Wei Xu had no choice but to call loudly, "Wait a moment, wait a moment..."
Lu Bu laughed, then patted the red tug horse on the head, and then slowly slowed down the horse, giving Wei Xu a chance to catch up.
The red toad horse was still a little unhappy. When he saw Wei Xu's war horse coming towards him, wanting to get close to him, he turned around and took a bite. Although he didn't really bite it, it still frightened Wei Xu.
The war horse quickly retreated half a step, just following the red tug horse's butt, and did not dare to move forward.
Wei Xu had no choice but to say: "Marquis Wen, General Gao's rear army is already more than ten miles away from us. Do you want to wait for them..."
Lu Bu turned around, squinted at the smoke and dust behind him, smiled disdainfully, and said, "What are you waiting for them to do?" From one look at the figure of that senior official, it was clear that even if he had martial arts, he had already lost all his skills.
Lu Bu didn't have much fondness for such a person who was fat and loose.
When Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's expression, he knew that he did not understand what he meant, so he quickly said: "Marquis Wen, General Gao is married to the Yuan family, and he is more or less half of the Yuan family. In this way, he is left behind.
Isn’t there something…”
Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted Wei Xu's words. He already understood what Wei Xu meant.
Gao Gan and Yuan Shao have a marriage relationship, which means that if Gao Gan says good things to Yuan Shao for Lu Bu, Lu Bu's life will naturally be much easier...
But for Lu Bu, these things are not within his scope of consideration at all.
Flattery?
Forming cliques?
Could it be that the dignified Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian were reduced to doing such a thing?
Lu Bu didn't want to do this, nor was he willing to do this. He only wanted to show off with the war horse under his crotch and the halberd in his palm, to gain his own share of pride and glory. So Lu Bu didn't want to have too much time with Gao Gan.
What to say, he even felt that it would not be a big problem whether there would be follow-up troops of high-ranking officials in this battle...
Lu Bu smiled, looked up at the white clouds floating by in the sky, and then slowly uttered half a sentence: "...Why is it necessary..."
…………………………
Two days later, Lu Bu, who had no reservations about the speed of his march, had led his troops to directly contact the most extended Montenegrin Army's Yudu troops.
Yu Du kept holding the sword, his palms already sweating nervously.
There were not many archers at the rear, but now their quivers were empty. Just holding a bow was of no use, and they could only stand there in confusion.
The Montenegrin Army's equipment is poor, and once its morale suffers a blow, it is difficult to recover. The problem is clearly exposed.
At the beginning, Yu Du's troops were pretty good. They not only resisted Lu Bu's front cavalry army, but also killed many of these cavalry troops. When they were about to be overwhelming and defeat the invading cavalry troops in one fell swoop, however,
The murderous god on the opposite side appeared out of nowhere, and with his bodyguards, he came and whizzed away like mowing grass, and no one could stop him even half a step!
At first, Yu Du was delighted to see that his archers, who were professional hunters from the mountains, seemed to have achieved some results after many days of practice. They shot down many cavalrymen, and some injured cavalry were surrounded by their own infantry.
Either he was stabbed to death directly on the horse, or he was pulled to the ground and cut into pieces with random blades. However, all the good momentum disappeared with the arrival of the God of Death...
Yu Du's sword has been raised, and the guards around him are watching his movements nervously. If Yu Du makes a wave of his hand next, the guards who have been recharging their energy behind will follow.
Yu Du immediately stepped forward to take up his position to face the God of Death, stepped forward to meet the impact, and accepted the most severe hand-to-hand combat!
However, in Yudu's sight, the guy who was waving his halberd unscrupulously yelled something, and then the surrounding cavalry fiercely separated their horses, rushed to both sides, and were actually fighting in the infantry formation.
Another path was opened in the middle, allowing the following cavalry to follow the passage and hit the chaotic Montenegrin infantry line like a huge wave!
Except for a very small number of heavy infantry, the general light infantry is basically no match for the cavalry. If they line up in a neat array and then use spears and shields to resist forcefully, it is still possible to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
But now, the cavalry led by Lu Bu has completely caused chaos in the entire formation. The formation is twisted and twisted, and there is no coordination between them. How can they resist it?
If the archers still have arrows in reserve, they can still provide some suppressive power, but now they can only rely on the head-to-head combat of the Montenegrin infantry. How can they be Lu Bu's opponent?
At this moment when Yu Du was hesitating, the cavalry unit with Lu Bu as the vanguard had already killed the Montenegrin Army's infantry array to the point where it almost collapsed. Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji was flying and screaming like an evil ghost.
How many spears were thrust forward, and how many arms and necks of Montenegrin infantry were cut off. Even the red horse was kicked and bitten in excitement, and was kicked by the horse's hooves as big as a bowl.
As for the body, it is basically the result of broken bones and falling.
Among them, Lu Bu appeared to be extremely brave. From the beginning of the battle to the present, the strength of ordinary people would inevitably have declined, but Lu Bu remained unchanged. There was even a feeling that the more he fought, the more excited he became, and the more he fought, the more brave he became.
Wherever Fangtian painted the halberd, he was invincible, and wherever it passed, blood rained down.
Lu Bu shouted wildly, and Fang Tian drew his halberd from top to bottom, fiercely splitting a Montenegrin soldier in front of him in half with his shoulders and back. Blood rain shot up into the sky, splashing all over the surrounding Montenegrin soldiers' bodies and faces.
He was so frightened that the surrounding Montenegrin soldiers were so frightened that they no longer dared to face Lu Bu, so they turned around and ran away!
The Montenegrin Army's infantry circle array was already quite weak after suffering the close-quarters attack just now. These Montenegrin infantry, under the sudden attack, reluctantly rallied under Yu Du's order. Seeing such fierceness, it was one-sided.
In the scene of being massacred, and having to face such a fierce attack from Lu Bu, I could no longer hold on...
Although there are still many infantry of our own around, there is only a thin last line of resistance at the front. The infantry on both sides have shrunk, and the pace of replenishment to the front array has repeatedly slowed down, and even stopped.
Without moving, the entire formation was completely destroyed.
The supervisory team at the rear who kept driving the infantry forward were also powerless. These Montenegrin soldiers were like mud in front of Lu Bu. After encountering the torrential blow from Lu Bu's troops, they were in a mess.
How to maintain continuity, how to kill defeated soldiers, these soldiers with little battle experience still cried for their fathers and mothers, turned around and ran out, swarming past the supervising team, leaving everything behind, desperate to leave this place.
A slaughterhouse that exchanges human lives for human lives.
The infantry array collapsed and shattered under the fierce attack of Lu Bu's cavalry!
At the moment, everyone of the Montenegrin infantry was running frantically for their lives, just trying to save their lives in this cruel fight. Some even lost their weapons. They were obviously frightened by the cruel battlefield, and kept running.
They were howling and scurrying around with their heads in their hands.
This Black Mountain Army is not an elite force like Bingzhou Soldiers or Xiliang Soldiers who have experienced border battles. They are not even comparable to ordinary county soldiers. They are just some people gathered by Zhang Yan and various commanders to form an army among the hungry people. Naturally
The performance was so unbearable.
Lu Bu laughed heartily, not caring that he and Red Tuma were covered in blood, and suddenly shouted with high fighting spirit: "X, Lu Bu, Lu Feng is here first! Who dares to fight with X!"
Yu Du's hand shook again and again. He held up the sword but still lacked the courage to swing it. After hearing Lu Bu's shouts in the formation, even the last bit of courage seemed to have dissipated, so he put away the sword and turned his head.
Then he ran away...
…………………………
"... Lu Yu's good horse, named Chitu, galloped through the city and flew into the chasm. With his strong generals, Wei and others, they rode into the formation. In one day or three or four, they fought in succession and defeated the Yan army..."
After all, Ju Yi was leading infantry. Relatively speaking, his marching speed was not as fast as Lu Bu's cavalry. When he arrived at Yecheng, he had not yet officially sent out troops to fight the Black Mountain Army, but he received such a piece of news. He immediately
I don't know whether to be happy or surprised.
Of course, in addition to the battle report, there was another piece of news, which immediately made Ju Yi frown, "... Yuan Cheqi wants to be more powerful, Lu and the others, take over a certain military power?!"
Ju Yi laughed a few times, and his eyes gradually turned cold...
