Volume 2 Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 35 The Battle of the Dead

In the early years of Jian'an, at the beginning of June, LΓΌ Buliu Zangba and his 3,000 tribes continued to besiege Buqicheng, and personally led more than 20,000 troops to fight with the main force of Donglai to the east of Buqicheng. This place is about 30 miles away from the county seat, the west is an endless field, and the terrain rises slowly to the east, until Laoshan Mountain, the terrain is complex, and the forest is luxuriant. Tens of thousands of horses and horses would be more or less crowded against each other in such a narrow territory.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Deng, who was a military advisor with the army, couldn't help but remind Lu Bu before the battle, "My lord, this terrain is narrow, which is not conducive to the formation of the army. I wanted to come to Donglai to take advantage of the terrain to resolve its military disadvantage. ”

Lu Bu obviously didn't care about this, only to see him raise his hand and point to the Donglai military formation that was hunting with the battle flag on the opposite side, and said confidently, "The carving insect skill is not enough." Look at the Donglai army formation, there are many foot soldiers, and few cavalry. After a few rounds of cavalry shooting, Ben Hou can lead his troops and horses into the formation and charge them on their backs. ”

The cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which already had a single stirrup, would not stupidly hit the spear Changge of the infantry, and they often disrupted the military formation by cavalry first, and then the generals who were good at single cavalry tactics led the team to rush into the battle. Of course, this assault sometimes does not succeed at the first time, but requires repeated cavalry and repeated assaults until the infantry formation is broken up. Therefore, these tactics require a high degree of martial arts skills from the leading generals. And Lu Bu is precisely a peerless fierce general with such divine skills.

However, at this time, when he heard that Lu Bu was going to lead his troops and horses to attack, Chen Deng's face did not show joy. It must be known that if Lu Bu was just a pioneer, then Chen Deng would happily congratulate him on his success. But Lu Bu is not a pioneer, he is the commander of the whole army. Thinking of Lu Bu again, Chen Deng, "The lord wants to go out in person?" As the commander of the three armies, how can he go to danger lightly. ”

"Captain Chen doesn't need to worry too much. It's just a group of rats, so why worry about it. After Lu Bu waved his hand disappreciably, he made a combat deployment on his own, "You, Gao Shun, and Sun Guan will stay in this formation for the time being. Ben Hou, Wei Xu, and Zhang Liao ordered 10,000 cavalry to attack first."

At the dawn of the morning, the morning sun and the dust and smoke are billowing ......

Accompanied by the sound of war drums rushing to the sky, 10,000 war horsemen went straight to the Donglai army formation like a tide. And what greeted them was naturally the overwhelming array of arrows in the Donglai army. In an instant, the cavalry of more than 100 people turned over and fell off their horses with this rain of arrows. But this did not stop the rapid onslaught of the cavalry. And just before the Donglai army withdrew the archers and replaced them with pikes, Lu Bu had already taken the lead and jumped into the Donglai army formation. I saw him face the spears that were killing from all directions, turned around to dodge, danced the halberd, and blew a blood-colored whirlwind, and suddenly the Donglai soldiers screamed in all directions

Wei Xu's martial arts may be inferior to Lu Bu, but his commander is far superior to his lord. I saw him on horseback with a wave of his lance, and the three thousand cavalry of the approaching army formation in an instant split into two like flowing water hitting a rock, bypassing the spear-lined military formation, and constantly flying from the periphery. It is true that the Donglai soldiers had spears and large shields as cover, but under the impact of Lu Bu and Wei Xu's repeated attacks from cavalry, they finally loosened. Zhang Liao, who followed closely, saw the right time, and immediately led two thousand elite cavalry to drill into the interior of the Donglai army formation like a sharp awl, centered on the impact point, expanded horizontally into a line, and advanced forward.

In this way, with the tacit attack, Lu Bu, Wei Xu, and Zhang Liao repeated it four times, so that only one Lu Bu advanced a full six miles. And this qiΔ“ was seen by Cai Ji and Guo Jia, who were in the Donglai main formation. The main formation of the Donglai Army was located on a hillside in the northeast direction of the main battlefield, with a total of 3,000 parts, including Lin Fei's 300 Lux. In addition to reporting the battle situation through the guΓ² scouts, you can barely see the general situation of the two armies fighting each other from the hillside. Therefore, although everyone was far away from the battlefield at this moment, they all felt the aggressive momentum of Lu Bujun without exception.

"Lu Fengxian is worthy of being the reincarnation of Xiang Yu" Looking at the Donglai army that was retreating, Cai Ji sighed with mixed feelings. Words such as "flying general", "unparalleled in the world", "Xiang Yu's reincarnation", and so on may be just adjectives in the mouths of storytellers in later generations. But at the end of the Han Dynasty, on the battlefield, it represented the devastation of countless living beings. And if these words are used to describe the opponent, it will be even more stomach-wrenching.

However, unlike Cai Ji's emotion, Guo Jia, who is a military advisor, commented calmly, "The lord should be glad that Lu Bu only has the courage of Xiang Yu, but not the wisdom of Han Xin." ”

"yes. If it weren't for that, how would this government dare to fight a field battle with Lu Bu. Cai Ji nodded with deep feelings.

Playing against Lu Bu in the field was the final result of Cai Ji and others after analyzing many pros and cons. Although it is said that the wall is clear, leading Lu Bu's army into the depths, and then cutting off its grain routes, dividing and annihilating it, it is also a countermeasure. However, this will inevitably involve the entire territory of Donglai in the flames of war, thereby destroying the agricultural production of Donglai County, which has just become a climate, and making Donglai lose its status as the granary of Qingzhou. And the merchants who had trade with Donglai before will flee Donglai one after another because of this. After all, the reason why they chose Donglai as a transit point for maritime trade was precisely because they took a fancy to the advantage that this place was far away from war and had Yuan Shao's protection. If these advantages are lost, Cai Ji will also lose his foothold in Donglai. In addition, there is Yuan Shao peeping behind Donglai. No one can guarantee that Yuan Shao will directly send troops to Donglai after seeing Lu Bu go deep into Donglai in a big way.

There is a saying that war is an extension of politics. Sometimes, in addition to considering the military feasibility, we also have to consider the pros and cons of politics. Moreover, Donglai also has Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw in charge. Cai Ji didn't believe that these two famous generals, plus Guo Jia, Wang Xiu and other celebrities, would lose to Lu Bu in the field. So at this time, after Cai Ji sighed a little at Lu Bu's martial bravery, he immediately looked straight, turned back to Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, can you order General Ziyi to pretend to be defeated and flee now, and lead Lu Bu's army into the game?" ”

Who knew that Guo Jia replied casually, "My lord, General Ziyi is retreating." ”

Cai Ji glanced into the distance after hearing this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yes." ”

Although the Donglai army on the battlefield has been defeated. However, Cai Ji still sent people to Tai Shici, who was preparing to build a defensive line again, and gave the order to escape in disguise according to the original plan and lure Lu Bu into the woods. In other words, according to the battle plan this time, Tai Shici and Wen Rui were mainly responsible for leading 10,000 soldiers and horses as lures to fight head-on with Lu Bu's army. Zhang Jaw and Wang Xiu brought 6,000 soldiers and horses as ambushes to ambush the pursuing Lu Bu. Therefore, after receiving Cai Ji's order, Tai Shi Ci immediately began to retreat. Compared with the Lu Bu army, which had been fighting for a long time, the Donglai army was undoubtedly a young army with little combat experience. Most of its soldiers had never participated in major battles, let alone fought against a fierce border army like LΓΌ Bu's army. It can be said that if there was no command from Tai Shici, this group of less than 10,000 Donglai soldiers would have been frightened and fled, and they would not have been able to lure the enemy into depth.

Tai Shici's retreat was not disguised, which Lu Bu could also see. He could even feel the helplessness of the opposing commander's intention to stabilize the defensive line, but the soldiers below were already afraid of battle. It is precisely this sense of helplessness that aggravates the realism of defeat. Therefore, Lu Bu didn't think much about it at all, and led his troops to chase and fight, and chased for about 20 miles, not caring at all that he was gradually moving away from his own formation.

At noon, the scorching sun and ten thousand arrows were fired......

"Put"

Wang Xiu, dressed in leather armor, calmly gave the order to shoot at the three thousand crossbowmen. Crossbowmen who rely on jungle ambushes are not only more stealthy, but they also shoot more frequently than their previous archers. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bujun, who rushed forward unprepared, was shot and turned on his horse, and suffered heavy casualties. What made Lu Bujun even more depressed was that in the face of the dense forest, the cavalry and assault they were proud of could not be carried out at all.

However, the ambush of the Donglai army was far more than that, and Zhang Jaw, who had already been dormant for a whole day, saw that the formation of Lu Bu's army was in chaos, and immediately raised his lance and led three thousand troops to rush out. The angle at which Zhang Jaw cuts is very tricky, and it is the most critical and weakest back road for Lu Bujun. If Zhang Liao is an awl, then the open jaw at this moment is a dagger, which is inserted into the soft flank of the person's waist.

"There is an ambush to retreat"

"Quick Exit"

And just when Lu Bu's army was in a dilemma, the Donglai rout army that was still running wildly before gradually stabilized its position. What was even more surprising was that a group of cavalry suddenly emerged from this group of routs, turned around and rushed straight towards the pursuing Lu Bu army behind them. Of course, the number of people who killed the carbs was not very large, only 1,500 people. Fifteen hundred Donglai fine rides

"Kill"

As if to sweep away the depression, Wen Rui waved the spear in his hand as much as he could. Equipped with double stirrups and iron horseshoe, Wen Rui and the more than 1,000 Donglai cavalry were better than ordinary cavalrymen in single-horse combat skills. In particular, the combined use of the spear and the ring-headed knife made this Donglai elite cavalry like a scythe of death reap the lives of the cavalry of the Lu Bu army. Wen Rui alone singled out more than ten people one after another. Splashes of blood stained his robes white, until he was confronted by another Killer God who was also covered in blood.

"Baby, get out of the way"

Lu Bu shouted, and slashed at Wen Rui with his halberd, and Wen Rui immediately raised his gun to meet him. Hearing only a crisp bang, Wen Rui suddenly felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the war horse under his crotch was so frightened that he jumped up and almost threw it off. Fortunately, after stumbling, Wen Rui finally adjusted his position on the horse, and casually picked up a short spear from the ground and threw it at Lu Bu. I never thought that this random throw would really knock Lu Bu's helmet away. In the midst of the dispersal of the cloak, Lu Bu was annoyed and angry, and screamed and danced his halberd again to kill Wen Rui. Wen Rui was not to be outdone.

However, after more than ten rounds, Wen Rui gradually felt exhausted, although he was younger than Lu Bu. But Lu Butian's divine power, even if he is nearly middle-aged, his body is still not inferior to that of Qingzhuang. What's more, Lu Bu's martial arts and experience are far superior to Wen Rui. Seeing that Lu Bu's offensive was ruthless, Wen Rui began to think about how to withdraw, but the more he thought about it, the more unfavorable the situation became for him.

With a loud bang, a long lance that stabbed horizontally blocked Lu Bu's halberd for Wen Rui, and took advantage of the situation to pull Fang Tian's halberd out horizontally. Wen Rui took the opportunity to jump out of the battle circle and escaped from death under Lu Bu's halberd. He finally picked up a life, and after calming down a little, it turned out that the person who saved his life was Tai Shici.

It's just that he hasn't waited for Wen Rui to thank Tai Shici. On the other side, Lu Bu was already with a long halberd and shouted at Tai Shi Ci, "But is it Tai Shi Ziyi? ”

"Exactly down there." Tai Shi Ci confronted Lu Bu.

As soon as Lu Bu heard that the comer was really the commander of the Donglai Army, he immediately provoked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Do you dare to fight?" ”

"The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave" Tai Shici said disdainfully.

"Who do you say defeated the army," Lu Bu glared and said angrily.

But Tai Shi Ci glanced at Lu Bu coldly, raised his hand and said, "You only know the courage of a horseman." Look back at the tragic situation of Erbe."

Lu Bu was reminded by Tai Shici like this, and then he suddenly realized that the banners of Lu Zi had fallen one after another, and there were shouting Donglai cavalry everywhere, and there was no general by his side. There is no doubt that even if Lu Bu has peerless martial arts, it is impossible to recover such a defeat. Lu Bu, who realized that he had fallen into an isolated and helpless situation, was like a wolf that had fallen into a trap, staring at Tai Shici with red eyes. Then he shouted violently, and swung his halberd towards Tai Shi Ci. Tai Shi Ci also opened his eyes angrily and raised his lance to each other.

With a bang, sparks burst out between halberds, as if to indicate that a fierce battle was imminent. However, the fierce Lu Bu suddenly took advantage of the momentum to urge the horse to raise the whip, and the horse jumped to break through. And Tai Shici just shook a shot and let Lu Bu flee without any intention of pursuing.

Wen Rui, who was eager to join the battle group, saw that Tai Shici deliberately let Lu Bu go, and couldn't help but say hurriedly, "Why did the general let Lu Bu go." Even if his martial arts are strong, as long as we rush up, we can still divide his corpse. ”

But Tai Shi Ci sighed with a long sigh of relief and replied, "Because the lord wants to let Lu Bu go." ”

Yes, letting Lu Bu go was a secret order given to Tai Shi Ci by Cai Ji before the war. The previous attitude of the Yuan family and his son towards Donglai made Cai Ji realize that the status of Qingzhou's granary alone was not enough to make the Yuan family pay attention to it, on the contrary, it would attract the peeps of the Yuan family and his son to Donglai. If he wanted to continue to accept Yuan Shao's protection and not be swallowed up by Yuan Shao, Cai Ji had to have a more important and suitable condition to make a new contract with Yuan Shao. After some thought, what flashed in Cai Ji's mind was the four big words "raising thieves and respecting themselves". There is no doubt that the most suitable person in the world to be this "thief" is Lu Bu. His prestige, his notoriety, and the special geographical location of Xuzhou were enough to make Yuan Shao jealous of him. And judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao did not come forward to welcome the Han Emperor, and Cao Ang escorted the Han envoy. It can be seen that Cao Cao still welcomed the Han Emperor as described in the historical records. At that time, there will inevitably be a gap between Yuan Cao. Compared with Prime Minister Cao Cheng, it is natural that this Cai Taishou is more suitable for Yuan Shao to guard the south gate.

In view of the self-respecting tone of raising thieves, a living Lu Bu is naturally more in line with Donglai's interests than a dead Lu Bu. Of course, the premise is to pull out his tiger teeth, so that he will not dare to beat Donglai lightly. It's just that Cai Ji didn't know that she spared Lu Bu's life. Someone on the other end was bent on taking her Cai Anzhen's head above the battle array
