The Battle of Yanzhou began. A large number of 100,000 cavalry began to sweep through the entire countryside of Dongjun. Any Han army that dared to appear in the wild would be defeated by the endless cavalry and then captured. Small towns, Wubao and county seats were also attacked by the large army. Occupied by two cavalrymen, not only could the Han army not get close to Dongjun, but even the territory within 100 miles north of Jiyin County was now filled with Daqian's cavalry, cutting off the Han army's source of news!
The Han troops in Wubao and the county who were trapped like an isolated island were all desperate, thinking that Yuan Shao had given up on them just like this. If the Daqian army had not treated them cruelly, the powerful people in Yanzhou would have no way to escape. At this time, there should be a large number of powerful people joining Lei Gong!
Just when the powerful forces in the north of Yanzhou were desperate, the Han army's cavalry suddenly appeared. A cavalry force of 5,000 people suddenly rushed to Juyang, catching Duan Peng and others by surprise, causing thousands of cavalry casualties.
Duan Peng, who suffered such a heavy loss, was naturally unconvinced and summoned tens of thousands of cavalry to create trouble for the Han army!
Several small-scale conflicts broke out between the two sides in the suburbs of Juyang, but Duan Peng was the one who suffered!
Because this time he faced Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other mighty generals with ten thousand enemies, not to mention they were also military generals who grew up on the border. They were familiar with Duan Peng's fighting methods, tactics, and kept up with their weapons and equipment. After the Great Gan Cavalry, the general's commanding ability became the shortcoming of the Great Gan Army. The Han army also had the advantage in terms of military strength. Lu Bu and others were highly skilled in martial arts. They clashed left and right on the battlefield and were unstoppable. They commanded the cavalry to divide and encircle Dagan's cavalry, Dagan's cavalry was beaten and retreated steadily, and had to withdraw from Juyang County.
Duan Peng, who was at a disadvantage, was sent to explore the horse. Only then did he realize that his enemy was the cavalry of the Han coalition. Yuan Shao and the others made a desperate move to gather all the cavalry together, intending to open up the connection between Dongjun and Dingtao.
After understanding the strength of the Han army, Duan Peng withdrew from Juyang and contacted the cavalry of the Daqian Army scattered in all directions, intending to annihilate the allied cavalry with all the force of the army. He knew that as long as Yuan Shao and his cavalry were eliminated, Yuan Shao and his party would be defeated. The source of cavalry will be completely lost, and the wilderness will become Daqian's world!
And Lu Bu also sent out scouting horses to inquire about the situation of Da Gan's army, and learned that they had 50,000 cavalry in front of them, and in the direction of Dongping Kingdom, Da Gan also had a cavalry of 50,000 people. Although Da Gan's cavalry in front of them was more than them. , but Lu Bu and the others were so confident that they could fight, but if Dagan's 100,000 cavalry gathered together, Lu Bu and the others knew that no matter how brave their 30,000 cavalry were, they would not be able to defeat three times the Dagan's army!
So at the military meeting, Lu Bu pointed at the map and said firmly: "If we want to change the war situation in the Central Plains, we must severely injure Duan Peng's 50,000 cavalry on the outskirts of Lihu County. Only by annihilating Lei Gong's 50,000 cavalry can we severely hurt Lei Gong and make him unable to survive." If you dare to cut off our connection with Dongjun unscrupulously, then the coalition forces can take the initiative in this war!"
To be honest, Lu Bu was a little surprised that he could become the commander of the coalition cavalry. In his opinion, Liu Bei had been suppressing him, which prevented him from getting ahead. He solved Dong Zhuo's big problem for the court and was promoted to General Fenwu. , was granted the title of Marquis Wen, and he was also an elder in the imperial court, and could even be said to be the number one person in the military.
It was a pity that the alliance of Liu Bei and Zhu Jun later seized the military power from his hands. He could only control the confidant camp brought by Bingzhou and less than 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry. However, Liu Bei controlled an army of 100,000 and also fought with Yang Biao and others. Alliance, he could only be firmly pressed behind Liu Bei. Even his mentor Wang Yun persuaded him to focus on the overall situation and not to conflict with Liu Bei.
So Lu Bu watched with jealousy as Liu Bei made great achievements in the past three years, conquered the territory of the three southern states of the Han Dynasty, and became a world-famous general of the Han Dynasty, truly the first person in the military!
Liu Bei's treatment made Lu Bu envious and jealous. In his opinion, beating Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang was nothing. If he had this opportunity, he could easily defeat these two idiots!
Lu Bu has always been dissatisfied with Liu Bei. When he and Liu Bei were encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Liu Bei was just Gongsun Zan's younger brother. He only made Liu Yu happy and became the captain of the field. At that time, he was also the boss, not as good as How much worse is Liu Bei!
It's a pity that his luck later is not as good as Liu Bei's. He has been at the forefront of resisting Thunder God. Although he has put in a lot of hard work, he has not been promoted much. However, Liu Bei was lucky enough to avoid Thunder God and has been fighting the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou and Jizhou. Army, which made him the governor of Jizhou and the governor of Liangzhou. By the time he joined Dong Zhuo and became the general of Zhonglang, Liu Bei had already become the target of Dong Zhuo's wooing. Not only was he appointed by Dong Zhuo as the pastor of Jingzhou, but he also became the general of Zhennan!
With great difficulty, he worked hard and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back before becoming General Fenwu, closing the gap with Liu Bei. However, he did not expect that the imperial court would flee to Liu Bei's territory in Xiangyang. In order to win over Liu Bei, the civil and military officials of the imperial court even more Liu Bei was directly promoted to the rank of general and became the Han Dynasty's veritable number one in the military. However, Lu Bu became a little-known general. Now his reputation is even inferior to that of Liu Bei's younger brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei! He became the fourth and fifth general of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that in the past three years, no one knew that there was another general named Lu Bu in the Han Dynasty!
Such a strong gap convinced Lu Bu. He believed that Liu Bei was just a lucky clan member. Lu Bu could do everything Liu Bei could do, but he didn't have the opportunity and no one appreciated him.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only three Han princes left, each of which was very powerful, Lu Bu would not be able to bear the current gap and would wander around the Central Plains with his confidants. He, Lu Bu, was not willing to be inferior to others!
And this time Liu Bei handed over all the cavalry of the coalition of princes to Lu Bu, which immediately ignited Lu Bu's ambition. Of course, Lu Bu did not want to rebel at this time, but wanted to rely on the cavalry in his hands to make achievements and let the world know that he was Lu Bu. His name! And in Yanzhou now, there is a greater achievement than defeating the Daqian Army!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So after Lu Bu saw the cavalry in Duan Peng's hands, he regarded the 50,000 cavalry as his own merit!
Yuan Tan looked surprised when he heard Lu Bu's words and asked: "General Fenwu is sure to defeat Duan Peng? You must know that the Daqian cavalry has been invincible in every battle since its establishment, whether it is the Wuwan people, the Huns or the Xianbei people, the overlord of the grassland. Defeated at their hands, Lei Gong has his current reputation, and the cavalry in his hands must take half of the credit!"
Yuan Tan was Yuan Shao's eldest son, with outstanding talents and both civil and military skills. Historically, he made many military exploits during Yuan Shao's pacification of Hebei. Later, Yuan Shao adopted Yuan Tan to his late brother Yuan Ji as his stepson, and asked Yuan Tan to guard Qingzhou as the governor.
Later, Cao Cao named him the governor of Qingzhou.
When Yuan Tan arrived in Qingzhou, he only controlled the plains. So Yuan Tan drove Tian Kai to the north. In the spring of the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Tan attacked Kong Rong in the east. By the summer, Yuan Tan won a great victory.
.Yuan Tan attacked the sea corner again, and finally occupied the entire Qingzhou, and then defended this place. The Yuan family has always been generous, and the people were happy for Yuan Tan's victory.
And in such a world with Xu Wei's intrusion, Yuan Tan is still outstanding. Yuan Shao initially moved into Luoyang City, but the entire Yuzhou was conquered by Yuan Tan. Later, when Yuan Shao attacked Xuzhou, the coach was also Yuan Tan. It can be said that even if Yuan Tan was not Yuan Shao
His eldest son is also an excellent general.
The military qualities of the generals made Yuan Tan aware of the Yuan family's current predicament. The Thunder Lord was coming with great force and had the intention of swallowing up the entire Yanzhou. If they could not repel the Thunder Lord's invasion of the Central Plains, the Yuan family could only be defeated step by step by the Thunder Lord's offensive.
Down.
Now that Lu Bu wants to defeat Lei Gong's most important cavalry force, Yuan Tan is naturally happy. His only worry is whether Lu Bu can defeat Duan Peng and the 50,000 cavalry in his hands!
To put it bluntly, Lu Bu's reputation now is far inferior to that of Duan Peng. Although Duan Peng is only a Xianbei, he is also a brave general who followed Lei Gong in the north and south. In Bingzhou, 5,000 cavalry defeated the Huns' 50,000 cavalry.
In Youzhou, he also defeated the famous Han general Huangfu Song. He defeated tens of thousands of Han elites with his iron cavalry. In the battle of Jizhou, he even defeated hundreds of thousands of Jizhou troops who did not dare to fight in the field. From Yuan Tan's point of view, Lu Bu may not really be able to fight.
Pass Duan Peng!
Lu Bu said confidently: "Before the fight, I was not sure, but after this fight, I found that Duan Peng is a mediocre general, and his combat command level is not as good as that of our ordinary generals. The reason why Duan Peng
The current record is only due to the advantages of equipment and Lei Gong’s command.”
"Now Duan Peng does not have Lei Gong under his command, and our army's equipment is not inferior to that of a large army. Duan Peng has exposed his true nature as a mediocre general. I am confident that I can defeat the 50,000 troops in Duan Peng's hands with an army of 30,000!"
Yuan Tan thought of yesterday's battle. Although they had the advantage in terms of strength, Duan Peng's command did not seem to be outstanding. It could be said that they were suppressed throughout the battle. If it were not for the excellent riding skills of Duan Peng's soldiers, and the
The cavalry is highly mobile, and they could almost leave Duan Peng on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, Yuan Tan's fear of the Daqian cavalry disappeared, and he firmly said to Lu Bu: "Please also ask General Fenwu to lead us to make great achievements!"
At this time, Zhao Yun on the side stopped him and said: "General, the order the general gave us was to find a way to open up the connection with Dongjun, but did not ask them to annihilate Daqian's cavalry. Now Duan Peng has nearly 50,000 cavalry in his hands, whether it is
In terms of strength, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not inferior to ours, and our army does not have a high chance of winning.
In a decisive battle with Lei Gong's cavalry, we defeated Lei Gong and Duan Yun's 50,000 cavalry. There are still millions of barbarians in the desert waiting for Lei Gong's call. It can be said that the loss of 50,000 cavalry is not enough to break the bones of Da Gan, but if I
If the army is defeated or even defeated miserably, the initiative on the battlefield will be completely controlled by Da Gan. By then, no matter how many soldiers our army has, it will not be able to change the situation of being passively beaten!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he said angrily: "We can only open up the connection with Dongjun by defeating Duan Peng's cavalry. Isn't this the general's order? If we don't defeat Duan Peng, he will watch us support Dongjun? Don't forget it. The cavalry sent by Lei Gong to Yanzhou exceeds 100,000 people. If Duan Peng and Duan Yun join forces, we will be the ones to escape. So now is our best chance to defeat Duan Peng. If we miss this opportunity, we will only Can be driven back to Dingtao step by step by Da Gan's cavalry!"
Yuan Tan also followed up and said: "I will find a way to contact the defenders around Juyang, Zhencheng, and Chengyang. They should be able to come up with ten or twenty thousand infantry, so that we will not lose to Dagan in terms of military strength." Yes, Yanzhou is our territory, and our army has the right location and people, so we will definitely be able to defeat the Daqian Army in one battle!"
For Yuan Tan, although the battle with Duan Peng may cause heavy losses to his cavalry, it is still worth it if he can severely damage Lei Gong, and his final mobilization of infantry is also a guarantee. If Duan Peng is really defeated, they can also abandon the infantry. , escape with the cavalry, and these infantry can also help them hinder the pursuit of the Daqian Army!
The commander-in-chief and deputy commanders of the army agreed to fight, and most of the other generals also supported Lu Bu's opinion. Zhao Yun had no choice but to follow Lu Bu. Now he can only pray that Duan Peng is really a mediocre general like Lu Bu said!
After deciding to engage in a decisive battle with Duan Peng's cavalry, Lu Bu sent out detective horses to explore the location of Duan Peng's main force. Yuan Tan also contacted the defenders around Dongjun and Jiyin counties and asked them to assemble in the direction of Juyang. Yuan Tan assembled 20,000 infantry.
So Lu Bu had a cavalry army of 50,000 people in his hands. Under the leadership of Lu Bu, this army attacked Duan Peng's cavalry in a mighty manner!
Duan Peng discovered that the Han army was attacking in his direction and laughed in surprise: "This Han army is really brave. They actually dare to attack us. They are really not afraid of death!"
Starting from the Battle of Youzhou, the Han army had no choice but to flee for their lives when they encountered Duan Peng's cavalry. This was the only time in the past five years that they took the initiative to attack!
Captain Wan Lang laughed and said: "The leader of the Han army is still our old friend Lu Bu. Of course, Northern Xinjiang has always been bold. Ever since he stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back, he has disappeared over the years. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him." Not only was he alive and well, he actually became the commander of a large army. This Liu Bei was really big-hearted. Didn’t he know that Lu Bu was in the way of his master? The people Lu Bu had followed either died in battle or were killed by him! Could it be that he just Don’t worry about being the next Dong Zhuo!”
Duan Peng suddenly realized, "No wonder the Han army has the courage to fight us. This Lu Bu is quite capable. When he was at Yanmen Pass, he still had an elite force in his hands. He created a lot of trouble for us in Bingzhou!"
Song Yi sneered and said: "He wants to find us for a decisive battle, so we will do as he wishes. During this period, we have been attacking Wubao, which is thankless. Now Lu Bu comes with an army of 50,000, and we can just annihilate them!" "
When Xu Wei sent them as vanguards, he wanted Duan Peng and others to annihilate the main force of the Han coalition in the field. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao made all the troops near Yanzhou East County hide in Wubao, allowing them to attack each Wubao and Wubao with twice the result and half the result. city, but they did not achieve much results, and even the gunpowder in their hands was almost used up! They were also reprimanded by the ruling party. Now their chance to make achievements has finally come!
