Chapter 20: The Great River Frozen and Chaos Wuxing (Part 2)
Five thousand cavalry circled Yuan Jun's camp, setting fires wantonly while charging and killing as many as possible. Lu Bu himself led more than a hundred cavalry and rushed straight to the west of the camp gate more than a hundred paces away. He first killed Chunyu Qiong, and then turned around again.
The bow and arrow were aimed directly at Yuan Shao. Yuan Benchu was so shocked that he was stunned, but he had no time to respond.
It is said that Lu Bu grew up in the border area under the Yin Mountains since he was a child. As an adult, he experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and participated in the decisive battle of the Guanzhong Defense War. He was experienced in hundreds of battles and killed countless people. How could he be here at this time?
Hesitant?
Not to mention, the contribution of this arrow is enough to kill and injure 100,000 soldiers!
As a result, he relied on instinct to aim at Yuan Shao with a fine steel arrow, and then pulled the bow string with all his strength, actually intending to shoot the opponent, the leader of the Kwantung Alliance, on the spot.
However, when the arrow was shot, it landed crookedly on the ground more than ten steps away from Yuan Shao!
The guards on the left and right, as well as Yuan Jun on the opposite side, were all shocked, but Lu Bu himself knew that something was going to happen as soon as he took action... Even Huang Yuan, who was right next to him, woke up instantly, and then couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
It turns out that Lu Fengxian likes to vent his anger with slingshots the most, but this method hurts the bow the most. Normally, without fighting, Lu Bu would need a new bow for several months, and this bow had been damaged by Hu Zhen a few days ago.
It was pulled repeatedly, so after all, the bow string was damaged by the hard pull just now, making it weak and weak.
After all, it was Hu Zhen who saved Yuan Shao's life!
Back in front of us, after this arrow, there were naturally heavy armored warriors from Yuan Army holding shields to protect Yuan Shao. When Lu Bu saw this, how could he be willing to give up such a great achievement? He immediately dropped the broken bow and arrow, and picked up the spear again.
Go forward and take Yuan Shao directly.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Yuan Benchu had already broken out in a cold sweat when he shot the arrow. He was so wet that he became limp and unable to move at all. However, his behavior made many counselors and officers around him think that he would continue to attack.
This conductor... not only admired him, but also made some sensible people angry.
"What is Mr. Ming thinking? Is this the time to show off as a hero?"
"Ming Gong quickly enters the camp. It is not the decisive battle with Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Xun, so he must be useful!"
Not to mention the efforts of Guo Tu and Xin Ping, two people from Yingchuan, to persuade them, Xu You and Feng Ji, two people from Nanyang who were the first to follow, immediately pounced on them and simply dragged each other to the camp under the escort of soldiers.
Go through the door.
"The entire army forms an array to intercept! As long as we provide a little support and the army turns around, we can win this battle again!"
Xin Ping, who stayed outside the camp gate, did his duty as the most senior one and immediately called for dispatch. Since Chunyu Qiong was dead, Han Juzi, the highest-ranking general in the Chinese army beside Yuan Shao, immediately led his soldiers forward and tried to intercept Lu Bu in front of the camp gate.
.
By the way, Yuan Benchu, the Fourth and Third Duke, was also the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces. In addition, he was stationed in Hanoi, a place with easy access to all directions, so not only famous families came to seek refuge with him, but also countless powerful people and knight-errants with ambitions, ideals or speculative ideas.
Warriors also came to join the army one after another... Thanks to this, the quality of Yuan Shao's Chinese tiger guards was actually not bad.
Therefore, seeing Lu Bu leading a hundred cavalry into the formation, killing Chun Yuqiong, forcing Yuan Shao to retreat, and Han Juzi descending, these selected Chinese soldiers were not afraid, but stepped forward bravely, preparing to attack Yuan Shao.
Show off your abilities in front of others.
However, how could Lu Bu and his subordinates be afraid?
For a time, the two armies had long soldiers and short swords, and their horses and armor were in a massacre at the camp gate.
And almost as soon as the battle started, limbs were flying everywhere in the battle group, red and white spurts, screams of death, flames and blades, all kinds of fierce battle formations, just to name a few...
Yuan Shao and the celebrities and wise men around him who managed to retreat had never seen such a scene before. They were all speechless, and they were inevitably pale and panicked.
However, although Lu Bu's offensive was powerful and there were cavalry across the battlefield like the wind, Yuan Jun's camp had enough troops. Just looking at the battlefield at the gate, because of Yuan Shao himself, there were naturally waves of reinforcements pouring out.
Lu Bu was riding a horse with a spear and a steed, killing several armored warriors who did not know their own strength. However, after finally defeating the first layer of resistance, he saw a group of warriors pouring out of their own camp. Moreover, although this group of warriors were equipped with
Not as good as Yuan Shao's personal guards, but they behaved in a measured manner, and the dozens of warriors at the front were holding large wooden shields. When they arrived at the camp gate, they did not rush forward. Instead, they leaned down with their shields raised and set up at the camp gate.
Set up a dense shield array.
What's even more terrible is that behind this group of warriors are actually dozens of spearmen and dozens of crossbowmen. They are moving in a controlled manner, fast and not chaotic, and they are coming one after another.
Why didn't Lu Bu understand that he had met a real expert who was good at dealing with cavalry? When the spear was placed on the shield wall and the crossbowman stood behind the spearman's gap, unless it was a heavy cavalry with full horse armor, it would be an elite person like
The cavalrymen like Baima Yicong also have a hard time with this!
And when he turned around again, he saw the bright fire on the river behind the golden embankment behind him... There is no doubt that this must be that the more than ten thousand troops noticed something strange behind them, and then the leading generals were of excellent quality and made a decisive decision to give up the attack.
Hu Zhen turned around and raised fire, trying to rescue!
At this situation, Lu Bu raised his head and sighed, reining in his horse and retreating, turning around.
Huang Yuan and others thought that their general had given up, so they all prepared to leave and return to the team. But at this moment, Lu Fengxian, who had retreated dozens of steps, suddenly turned to the camp gate again, then suddenly clamped the horse's belly and moved his hips.
Lu Baomao, who was getting off, hurried to the camp gate. When he came to the group of warriors with big shields, he even tried his best to lift the reins!
In the light of the fire, Lu Ma jumped with all his strength, carrying Lu Fengxian, who was like a god descending to earth, over the shield wall where no spear or crossbow had been set up, and flew behind the camp gate.
Lu Bu landed safely and roared loudly. Taking advantage of the stunned Yuan Jun inside the camp, he killed several people in a row and attacked Yuan Shao directly again!
And Yuan Shao, who had just taken a breath, was once again frightened out of his mind when faced with such a brave move!
In fact, it wasn't just Yuan Shao. The entire Yuan army in the camp was in chaos. Some people were frightened and dispersed, some were in a panic, some were shouting, and some had cold hands and feet.
However, compared to the other soldiers, soldiers and horses who were almost frightened to the point of being incompetent by Lu Bu, Yuan's army with shields, spears, and crossbows showed extremely high discipline... Although they were a little frightened by Lu Bu at first.
This almost god-like behavior made him overly frightened, but despite being frightened, he still maintained sufficient mobility.
In fact, the leader of this troop was the Yuan Army officer who was the first to react. Following his command with a distinct Liangzhou accent, the troop immediately withdrew their shields and spears and turned to deal with Lu Bu!
However, the reason why Lu Bu jumped on his horse and entered the camp was that he was a little unbalanced due to the missed arrow shot before. Coupled with the rising desire to kill on the battlefield, he made such a risky move. Moreover, since he
He jumped into the camp alone, but he couldn't regret it. In fact, he didn't have the time to regret it. Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the soldiers and horses behind him at all, but pushed forward regardless of it, killing and slashing...as if there was only one thing in his eyes.
A frightened Yuan Shao.
"The thief Lu eats arrows!"
At the critical moment, it was the Liangzhou accent that worked again.
Lu Bu instinctively reined in his horse, slowed down, and ducked sideways...but found that there were no arrows at all, as if the general had maliciously deceived him in a hurry.
However, this shout reminded Xu You and Feng Ji, two men who knew the opportunity. When they saw that Lu Bu had no bow in his hand, they simply drove Yuan Shao, who had lost consciousness, and fled to the rear again.
In the chaos, Lu Bu, who missed the opportunity because he was standing on his horse to hide the arrow, glanced at Yuan Shao's back. He was anxious, but he threw away the bow and arrow early... But the opportunity was not lost, so he simply raised his spear and prepared to aim.
Yuan Shao threw hard from behind.
However, there was someone faster than him. Before Lu Bu tried to throw the spear, Lu Ma screamed, and the mighty man was almost knocked to the ground... When he looked back, he saw what he saw by the firelight.
There was an arrow stuck in Lu Ma's butt, and blood was flowing out. Not far away, there was a general holding an empty horn bow, panting heavily, and it turned out to be the same Yuan Jun officer with a Liangzhou accent.
Lu Bu was filled with hatred, but knowing that his last chance had been lost, he no longer lingered, and instead rode out of the camp... Fortunately, the shield array had been withdrawn to protect Yuan Shao, and Huang Yuan and other generals were fighting hard to kill him outside the camp.
In response, Luma only injured the horse's hip, allowing him to rush out of the camp gate easily.
However, after he had rushed out of the camp gate dozens of steps, he couldn't help but turn around and come back, raised his spear and asked bitterly: "Does the person who shot the horse dare to leave his name?!"
"Pingyuan Juyi is right!" This person's Liangzhou accent is clear and unmistakable, but he calls himself Pingyuan people.
Since Lu Bu knew the name, he didn't bother to think about it. He just laughed loudly, and then suddenly threw the spear he had not thrown before outside the camp gate with all his strength!
Ju Yi was shocked and hurriedly ducked to avoid it!
But with a scream, everyone could clearly see that it was Han Juzi, the Chinese general who was stunned at the gate, who was pierced through the abdomen with a spear and nailed to the ground. He was about to be crippled even if he didn't die!
Lu Bu laughed even more when he saw this, and galloped away with his bare hands amidst the panic of countless Yuan Jun troops. It wasn't until this man disappeared behind the firelight to the west, and the Yuan Jun Yuan gate was in a mess, that they all relaxed
Take a breath.
It has to be said that Han Juzi's screams for help played a huge role in Yuan Jun's recovery. Moreover, fortunately, Ju Yi, who did not lose his composure, and his highly disciplined private soldiers were here to maintain order, put out fires and save people.
"Is this man the brave man of ghosts and gods?" Xin Ping, covered in blood, fled in a hurry from the camp gate to Yuan Shao. Looking back at the messy battlefield, Xin Ping couldn't help but be the first to look up to the sky and sigh.
The other wise men were speechless.
Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time without saying a word, but when Han Juzi, who was gradually getting angry, was lifted up and sent to the back tent, she suddenly faced the mess on the ground, cried bitterly, and even leaned down to hammer the ground.
more than.
Feng Ji had just dragged Yuan Shao to escape twice, and he knew in his heart that the other party was really frightened and lost his temper. But now he suddenly cried bitterly, but he didn't know what was going on?
Is it an expression of emotion, a fear of losing one's temper, or a sudden awakening to perform?
But no matter what, as the opponent's most trusted confidant, and perhaps one of the few people whose brains are still functioning, I can only bite the bullet and talk to the opponent at this time, or remind:
"In the past, if Duke Ming was in command, he would rather die than retreat, and many of the officers and soldiers were infected. But now that Lu Bu has left, how come he is crying instead?"
"Does Yuan Tu think I'm just putting on a show?!" Yuan Shao managed to silence his voice, but his face was still filled with pain. "I really regret it... If it weren't for Lu Bu's trip today, I'm afraid I would still be treating myself as the leader of the Guandong Alliance.
I am so complacent with my identity and want to manipulate people's hearts that I even regard war as a child's play! And if I could have woken up a few days earlier, why would General Chunyu suddenly die in battle and Captain Han end up in the current situation? Today's defeat is not due to Zhu's
The officers and men are not all gentlemen, they are all just me!"
After saying this, the man cried loudly again, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
Regardless of the circumstances, Guo Tu, who was standing next to him, instinctively wanted to take advantage of the situation to praise Yuan Shao and encourage him, but thinking of Lu Bu's bravery before and Yuan Shao's sincerity in front of him, he couldn't even say a word of flattery.
It wasn't until Zhang He, Han Meng, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan returned with their troops, the shouts of killing gradually subsided, and the surrounding soldiers began to put out fires on a large scale, that someone began to comfort and flatter Yuan Shao.
However, before he could say a few more words of advice... Xu You, who had been silent on the side, suddenly raised his eyebrows and sighed, interrupting the relationship among these people:
"Benchu! Yuan Cheqi, is this the time to cry here? Something big is going to happen in Hanoi!"
"What are Xu Ziyuan saying?" Before Yuan Shao could speak, Guo Tu asked angrily. "Although it was dangerous today, the camp was burned down, and General Chunyu and Lieutenant Han were damaged. At most, we were killed.
If you lose your spirit, where can the big things come from?"
"I'm not talking about us!" Xu You retorted helplessly. "It's Wang Kuang who is going to be defeated! And even if it's us, I'm afraid these two are not the only ones who will suffer losses this time... Think about it, in the middle of the night,
Whether the cavalry is attacking, or whether our army and Wang Kuang's subordinates are supporting each other, can we only march along the Yellow River embankment to ensure that we do not lose our way and the army does not scatter?"
Most of the people present were wise men, and when they heard this, they all woke up, and then each of them became surprised and suspicious:
"Mr. Ziyuan means that General Yan Liang is bound to collide with Lu Bu... but General Yan has five thousand cavalry?!"
"But if General Yan's headquarters was undefeated, why did Lu Bu get to this point? As Mr. Ziyuan said, in the dark night, when attacking over long distances, the enemy and we can only march along the embankment of the Yellow River in order to move quickly."
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, there was a fire in Xiaopingjin before, and then Lu Bu attacked from the west along the river. Can it be said that all Wang Kuang's remaining troops have been wiped out? With Lu Bu's bravery, if he sneaked across the river and made a surprise attack
, maybe we can win quickly."
"It's not just that." Xu You sighed again and said with emotion. "Think about it, when we saw Xiaopingjin getting angry, even if we had bad intentions, we hurriedly sent General Yan to take action. Now if Wang Kuang returns to the army in a hurry
When we arrived at Xiaopingjin, where there were not many enemy troops, and then we saw a fire broke out here, with the people’s respect for Yuan Cheqi, even if they were afraid, wouldn’t they send troops to help?”
"That's right." Feng Ji also came to his senses completely. "Wang Kuang sent a letter before, saying that he led eight thousand troops to go upriver. How many troops can he send to rescue us now? And if we collide head-on again, even if it's said to be overnight,
It’s hard work, but one side has horses, the other side has no horses, one side has been winning continuously, but the other side is seeing fires everywhere in the camp... I’m afraid it will collapse in one battle again!”
"So, the Prince's Day is over?" Yuan Shao stopped crying completely, but he couldn't help but panic... He had thought about annexing the other party before, but he heard that the princes with more than ten thousand troops were defeated in this way, and their people were instead
When the rabbit dies, the fox becomes sad.
"Wang Kuang is finished!" Xin Ping asserted in a deep voice, which made Yuan Benchu completely heartbroken.
"There is a master behind Lu Bu!" Xu You sighed quietly at the end. "Not only did he calculate that the Yellow River embankment would help the cavalry to attack easily at night, but he also calculated that Wang Kuang was strong on the outside but cowardly on the outside, cowardly on the outside and conservative in everything.
It's true that we actually have evil intentions towards Wang Kuang... This is really insightful into people's hearts! With such a wise man driving such a brave general, our defeat is not unjust!"
The fire has begun to be brought under control, but as order is gradually restored in Yuan Jun's camp, the atmosphere becomes increasingly solemn.
Of course, there is still one thing missing from this group of people...that is, Wang Kuang, Wang Gongjie, is not only arrogant on the outside but cowardly on the inside, strong on the outside but incompetent on the inside, he is also extremely unpopular with Hanoi people.
It is said that after he led his army back to Xiaopingjin after hard work, he saw Fang Yue's body and a fire in the Wushejin camp where Yuan Shao was located. He thought it was Dong Zhuo who was planning an all-out attack with his army, so he became extremely timid for a moment.
However, he did not dare not to rescue Yuan Shao, so in the end he led the troops to rescue Yuan Shao with Hao Meng as his general. Instead, he abandoned the burned-out Xiao Pingjin and took refuge in Wen County behind him.
And when Lu Bu followed Jia Xu's instructions and ran into Wang Kuang's subordinates again on the way from Wushejin to Xiaopingjin, Hao Meng, who was cold and tired, simply knelt down and led the crowd to surrender!
But after two or three days, the dust of this battle settled, and everyone in Henan and Hanoi suddenly learned that in this battle, Lu Bu used the plan of Jia Xu, the commander of Xiaopingjin, to cross the river with only 5,000 cavalry and fight at night, burning Xiaopingjin first.
Wang Kuang's camp then burned Yuan Shao's camp in Wushejin. He also killed three generals along the way, deposed one general and demoted one. He defeated over 10,000 troops and surrendered 8,000. However, the damage to his own army was less than 1,000!
At that time, the tigers of the world were able to trample across the Three Jin Rivers and cross the Yellow River, making them roar all over the world! And Jia Wenhe's reputation as Dingce's rebel force also spread like wildfire.
——————————
After Bu was victorious, he returned and asked: "In the past, when we united thousands of people, it was difficult to defeat them. Now, with five thousand, how can we defeat them with your words?" Xu said, "This is easy to understand. The general is good at cavalry, even though it is late at night."
When crossing the river to attack, especially the golden embankment of the Yellow River relies on it as a road, so that there is no chaos. As for the rebel Wang Kuang, who is strong on the outside but arrogant on the inside, arrogant on the outside but cowardly in reality, he will leave when he sees suspicious soldiers and divide his army to defeat them. As for Yuan's army, although there are many,
However, he has evil intentions and has no intention of driving away tigers and devouring wolves. He must wait and see with a small number of soldiers, but he can also be driven away. Moreover, he is arrogant and indulges in few weapons. Once the battle comes, he will suddenly fail." Bu Nai surrendered. - "Shi Shuo"

ps: I'm really sorry today...I thought I could finish coding in the middle of the night, but ended up going to bed because of the cold weather, and then I was too tired, so I fell asleep on the bed holding my laptop...I had to move bricks when I got up in the morning, and it was my first day at work.
One day, I couldn't catch a fish, so I secretly opened the document and coded a chapter until noon.
