Chapter 200: Defeat (Medium)

When the three of them came to the big tent, Guo Yan, who was eager for revenge, couldn't wait to ask: "Military advisor, I don't know if you have any good strategy to break Lu Bu, let's talk quickly!" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said to Li Dao and Guo Yan: "Two generals, please look, Lu Bu is a brave and unscrupulous person, and when he learned that the two generals Zhang Fan arrived outside the city of Beijing, they didn't care about continuing to besiege our army, so they hurriedly pulled out the camp and rushed back to Beijing. We can divide into three directions, left, center, and right, and go to pursue Lu Bu......"

Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Li Dao interrupted his later words: "The military advisor has forgotten that our army currently has only 21,000 people, and if you want to divide it into three roads, there will only be 7,000 people on each road. You must know that Lu Buke has an army of 70,000, of which 20,000 or 30,000 are soldiers and horses collected after breaking Niu Fu and Guo Yan. ”

"What the general said is extremely true," Jia Xu waited for Li Dao to finish speaking, and then said with a smile: "Although Lu Bu is like an arrow, he has long been prepared for our army to follow and pursue, and he will inevitably stay behind the elite troops. If we were to pursue, the nearest middle route army would surely be defeated after being counterattacked by him. ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he couldn't help but interject and said, "Strategist, since we know that Lu Bu has already taken precautions, is it necessary for us to pursue?" ”

Jia Xu saw that the two of them looked confused, and hurriedly explained to them: "Lu Bu bravely crowns the three armies, no one is invincible, if we pursue, we will be defeated by him." But there was something wrong with the Jingshi, and Lu Bu was in a hurry to rush back to the rescue, so after he defeated our army, he would inevitably no longer guard against our army, but hurried with all his might. Our army is chasing and killing again at this moment, and it will surely win a great victory. ”

Guo Yan waited for Jia Xu to finish speaking, and asked with some puzzlement: "If this is the case, you can go all the way to the army, why do you need to divide the troops into three places?" ”

"When the Middle Route Army pursues Lu Bu's army for the second time, if the left and right flanks kill another man, it will make Lu Bu's army unable to figure out the reality of our army. Seeing that there are soldiers and horses killing in all directions, the broken soldiers and horses are bound to be in chaos. When Jia Xu said this, he also specially reminded Li Wei: "The general also mentioned just now that in Lu Bu's army, many of them are the old troops of Niu Fu and General Guo, and when they see that our army is strong, these people will take the initiative to defect over." This is the best of the other, and Lu Buyan has the reason to be undefeated. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." After listening to Jia Xu's strategy, Guo Yan couldn't help but applaud repeatedly, and he took the initiative to ask: "This middle route army is commanded by my old man, and Zhiran and the military division each lead an army, and they can be on my left and right." ”

"No, General Guo can't be the commander of the Middle Route Army." Guo Yan's request was actually denied by Jia Xu without hesitation. He said eloquently: "Lu Bu defeated the general a few days ago, and if he finds that it is not General Li who has caught up with him, but General Guo, he will inevitably be suspicious. Although he is brave and unscrupulous, it does not mean that he is a fool, if he is suspicious, he will probably let his right-hand men cut off, and then we will have nothing to do. ”

As soon as they heard Jia Xu talk about Lu Bu's right-hand men, Li Dao and Guo Yan invariably thought of Zhang Liao, because they had both been defeated by Zhang Liao's men. Li Dao hurriedly said: "Since the military division said so, then I will lead the middle route army, the military division will lead the left route army, and Guo Yan will lead the right route army." ”

After the discussion was completed, Li Dao took 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 foot soldiers, took the lead in leaving the camp, and pursued Lu Bu's army at full speed. And Jia Xu and Guo Yan each led a group of soldiers and horses, and after leaving the gate of the village, they went east and west, preparing to attack the flank of Lu Bu's army.

Li Dao chased out more than 20 miles with soldiers and horses, and suddenly a group of soldiers and horses came out from behind the hillside in front, and the first person rode a red rabbit horse, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and yelled at Li Dao: "Lu Bu is here, Li Dao quickly stepped forward to die!" ”

After shouting, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand swung forward violently, and rushed over with the cavalry. After Li Wei saw that Lu Bu had broken it personally, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted in a changed voice: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, don't let them rush over, otherwise we will all be finished." ”

With Li Wei's order, the five hundred cavalry followed behind him, and at the same time fired arrows at the rushing Lu Bujun. For a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, and they fell straight into the queue of Lu Bu's army, shooting over the more than 20 horsemen who rushed to the front. Lu Bu danced the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand like a windmill, blocking most of the feather arrows that were shot at him, but one of them still hit him in the shoulder, fortunately, the armor was thick, and although the feather arrows were nailed to it, they were not injured.

Lu Bu's horse was fast, and he quickly rushed in front of Li Dao, and in just one round, Li Dao fled in the wilderness. Seeing Li Dao fleeing in embarrassment, Lu Bu smiled and raised Fang Tian's painting halberd to stab left and right in the queue. Even Li Dao was not his opponent, where could ordinary soldiers stop him, where he passed, the cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and the horses that had lost their masters neighed and fled in all directions.

LΓΌ Bu killed Li Dao's cavalry and led his subordinates to follow Li Dao who fled in disarray. After chasing five miles, and seeing a formation of pikemen in front of him, he reined in his crotch mount, raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand high, and shouted: "Collect the troops!" ”

After Lu Bu walked away with his soldiers and horses, Li Dao began to gather the scattered cavalry, and found that in less than half an hour, his most elite cavalry had lost more than half. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, Jia Xu had set up a three-way attack, although he lost this battle, he would soon be able to get it back with profits.

When Li Dao reorganized his army and was about to pursue and kill LΓΌ Bu again, a junior colonel said to him with trepidation: "General, LΓΌ Bu is brave and fierce, and no one of us here is his general." Moreover, the army has just been defeated, and our army is at a time when morale is low, and if we pursue it again, we may risk the destruction of the whole army. ”

Li Dao laughed when he heard this, and then said to the junior colonel: "The defeat of our army was expected by the military advisor. At this moment, if you reorganize your troops and horses and then pursue them, you will definitely be able to win a great victory. ”

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to persuade a few more words, but thinking of his humble position, it was useless to persuade again, in case Li Dao was provoked, he cut himself with a knife, and he died in vain. Therefore, he hurriedly shut his mouth, went back to gather his subordinates, and prepared to follow Li Dao to pursue Lu Bu again.

Li Dao saw the morale of his subordinates, and in order to boost morale, he rode his horse to the front of the queue, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, we will go to pursue Lu Bu again soon." If you can capture Lu Bu, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold; captured the generals of Lu Bu's subordinates and rewarded them with a thousand gold; Behead one level, reward one gold ......"

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, after Li Dao's series of rewards came out, the soldiers who were originally demoralized suddenly shouted at the top of their voices, and couldn't wait to continue to hunt down Lu Bu in order to get Li Dao's reward.
