This field battle between the Lü army and a certain unit of the Montenegrin army on the outskirts of Yizhou ended in the victory of Lü Bu's army, which was a great victory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, because of the mistake on the right flank, the enemy army was not completely annihilated, and the enemy army broke through from the right flank with 5,000 people, and although General Zhang Liao, who charged in the enemy formation, was brave, the army under his command was only 2,000 people after all, and it was still unable to not only disrupt the enemy position, but also prevent the enemy from escaping from the rear, so there were also many enemy troops who fled from the rear, and on the left was a big river, and the raging river completely cut off the enemy's way of life. Most of the thousands of enemy people who fell into the river, with the exception of a few enemy soldiers who were good swimmers, drowned in the river.

And because of the timely arrival of the infantry troops, the enemy troops who broke through from the frontal battlefield were basically wiped out by the infantry troops, and finally with the cooperation of the infantry cavalry, the remaining enemy troops chose to surrender.

Afterwards, after interrogating the captives who surrendered, they learned that this army was the army of Zhang Niujiao of the Montenegrin Army, and this battle also successfully killed the main general Zhang Niujiao, which was a happy thing for Lu Bu, and he also knew that Zhang Niujiao, there were dozens of armies large and small under the banner of Montenegro in the entire Hebei Province. Among them, the strength of this bull's horn is the most powerful.

Although most of the Black Mountain Army is composed of peasants, and their combat effectiveness is very weak, they are numerous, with a total of four or five hundred thousand people, and Yuan Shao's bastard gave him an order to let himself take less than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the state army to exterminate these four or five hundred thousand people, this is an extremely difficult task, Yuan Shao's bastard is still afraid that his army will develop in Hebei Province, and he will also deduct the logistics of his army, and when he first arrived in Yizhou, Wei Xu suddenly disappeared again, so Lu Bu has not been in a good mood these days, It wasn't until now that he heard the news of Zhang Niujiao's death and crippled one of the most powerful forces of the Black Mountain Army, that he was a little happier.

Not long after he was happy, he heard that Lu Bu's fire immediately came up again.

After the war, statistics showed that 6,000 enemies were killed in this battle, more than 10,000 people ran out, and 9,000 prisoners were taken.

But the losses also made Lu Bu feel angry, and the losses of the 1,000 pro-army led by himself and Zhang Liao's 1st Cavalry Battalion and infantry units were all within an acceptable range, but the losses of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion were too great.

This time the task of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion to encircle the enemy was not very difficult, but the 2nd Cavalry Battalion's 3,000 men were not lightly wounded, but only the seriously wounded and killed reached 1,000.

Of these, 200 cavalrymen were killed directly, and the other 800 cavalrymen were seriously wounded, and many of these 800 people probably did not survive for a few days if they were wounded.

The second cavalry battalion was commanded by Dong Chen, of course, Lu Bu also knew that Dong Chen was not to blame this time, it was purely because Song Xian and Hou Cheng did not obey the order and left their posts without permission, resulting in a loose encirclement, which caused the second cavalry battalion to suffer such a big loss.

Therefore, afterwards, Lu Bu directly beat Song Xianhou Cheng and the two of them with 100 military sticks, and lowered the official positions of the two again, and the 1,500 people of the straightforward pro-army in the hands of the two were also broken up by Lu Bu, and selected the best 100 people to supplement their own pro-army, and selected another 200 brave and good fighters to be assigned to Zhang Liao's command, and the remaining 1,200 people were divided into 400 people under the direct command of Dong Chen, so that although Song Xian Houcheng's troops did not suffer much loss in this battle, But their troops were reduced to 800 men.

The troops under their command were directly cut by nearly one-half, and they were beaten on their buttocks with a military stick, Song Xianhou Cheng and them were naturally full of complaints, and this time they not only hated Dong Chen to the core, but even for this boss Lu Bu, who had been with them for many years, they also had a lot of complaints.

In addition to the redivision of the cavalry led by Song Xianhou Cheng Lü Bu, he also made a division of 9,000 captives, Lü Bu distributed 9,000 captives to Zhang Liao's first cavalry battalion according to the size of the force, and gave him 1,500 prisoners, Dong Chen's second cavalry battalion was assigned 1,000 prisoners, the infantry army was divided into 3,000 prisoners, and the remaining 4,500 captives were temporarily owned by the whole army, and the grain, grass and ordnance were also temporarily under the unified management of the whole army. Take the rations and ordnance you need as needed.

This distribution is naturally unreasonable, it belongs to the whole army, and it basically falls into Lu Bu's trouser belt, but most of the state troops have followed Lu Bu for many years, and generals like Zhang Liao can still accept such a distribution.

And Lu Bu also thought that his distribution was the fairest, but Dong Chen objected.

When Dong Chen raised an objection, Lu Bu's hair almost stood up, his eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and he asked Dong Chen fiercely: "What do you think is unreasonable?" ”

Dong Chen said slowly: "I feel unreasonable to put Song Xianhou Cheng's four hundred cavalry under my command. ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he asked Dong Chen with a smile: "This is very good for you, the 1,500 cavalry under your direct command, 200 people were killed in this battle, and 800 people were seriously wounded, so they can't participate in the battle in a short time, but then we will continue to attack the remnants of Zhang Niujiao and several other Montenegrin troops who fought against General Yuan Shao, and your army has no time to rest." ”

"You can only command five hundred cavalry now, and the two lieutenants under your command, Song Xianhou Cheng, command more troops than yours, how do you fight in the next battle, I will draw Song Xianhou Cheng 400 cavalry to you, it is exactly for you!"

As soon as Lu Bu's words came out, Song Xianhou Cheng, who originally thought that he could take back some of his troops, felt a chill in the hearts of the two of them, they were also subordinates who had followed Lu Bu for many years, and now not only did they fail to become the commander of the second cavalry battalion, but even this little capital under their command had to be swept away by Lu Bu, how could this make them willing, fortunately, what Dong Chen said next made them rekindle a little hope.

Dong Chen said: "The two generals of Song Xianhou Cheng fought bravely, and their subordinates were even more loyal to them, and I was new to the city, and there was no cooperation with these four hundred people, I was their commander, far less than the two generals of Song Xian and Hou Cheng as their commanders, they could not exert the most powerful combat power under my hands, so for the sake of the state army, please be angry that I dare not accept these four hundred people." ”

Dong Chen's words made Song Xian and Hou Cheng very grateful, even Lu Bu nodded slightly, and he said to Dong Chen with great appreciation: "Okay, good, very good, there are not many people like you who think about the state army now." (To be continued.) )
