Chapter 1025: Impact
Wen Hou Lu Bu, who had eaten a nose of ash at Yuan Shu's side before, now feels that he has finally improved a little.
Although Yuan Shu didn't directly say anything about Lu Bu before, that kind of contemptuous attitude still made Lu Bu a little aware, and he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart.
I thought that my martial arts and courage would be reused after all, but the reality is so cruel, when I say no, it will not work, even if it works, it will not work, in this case, Lu Bu did not have a little room to show on Yuan Shu's side, so he could only leave gloomily.
But now it seems to be different, Yuan Shao heard that Lu Bu came to vote, and actually went out of the city to greet him, such behavior naturally made Lu Bu have a light on his face, so he happily stayed here with Yuan Shao, and this time he got Yuan Shao's heavy responsibility, leading 3,000 cavalry to go straight to the camp of Zhang Yan in Montenegro.
Of course, this "heavy task", the actual situation is not as Lu Bu himself thinks, these three thousand cavalry have another commander, that is, Gao Gan.
Gao Gan, who is from Chen Liu, has a marriage with the Yuan family, so for these important cavalrymen, it is natural that Yuan Shao is more at ease to put his control in the hands of his own family.
Lu Bu can directly command, that is, it is just eight hundred cavalry as the vanguard.
Despite this, Lu Bu still didn't care. In his eyes, Yuan Shao should still not fully understand his martial arts and command ability, so it is understandable that he does not have many troops for the time being......
As long as Zhang Yan is taken, there will naturally be changes.
Zhang Yan's troops, before leaving, had already explained very clearly, and even took out a map, and carefully divided it again and again, for fear that because Lu Bu first arrived in Jizhou, he would take the wrong road or something unexpected would cause a mistake......
After the arrangements were made, Lu Bu led his headquarters and 800 cavalry, and he couldn't wait to rush forward, pulling down the follow-up troops of Gao Gan.
It may be a little bit reckless, but to be honest, Lu Bu actually didn't pay attention to Zhang Yan's strength at all, even if there was no Yuan Shao's eight hundred cavalry, only he was single-handed, well, a single halberd and a horse, he still came and went freely!
Although Lu Bu has not read much poetry, for him who has been running in with wolves, Hu people, and horse thieves on the grassland of the north for many years, and has also made great achievements in garrisoning the frontier, his keen intuition ability on the battlefield is unparalleled in the world.
Needless to say, judging from the distribution on the map, Lu Bu had already sensed that Zhang Yan's forces had expanded to the limit......
Assuming that Zhang Yan's army is just stationed in one place, thirty or forty thousand people go to a place in a pile, in an area like Jizhou, where the plains are mostly large, it will be quite difficult to deal with, even if the cavalry is fast, but when rushing into the battle, there is a slight carelessness and falling into the crowd, there is only one dead word left......
But now Zhang Yan has attacked such a large area in such a short period of time, and the Montenegrin army is mainly foot soldiers, so the entire army has been expanded to the extreme, even if it is a huge force, it is now scattered to various points, and it is no different from stragglers.
Although Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army claimed to be one million, Lu Bu didn't believe it at all.
This million is actually the same imaginary number as the 100,000 claimed by the White Wave Army when it was in trouble, and the real number of the Black Mountain Army is about 500,000, including women, children, the old and the weak. Among them, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people who can really go into battle, and even if all the young and strong people are counted, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people who reach the sky.
If it was true that the million-strong army was all soldiers, Zhang Yan would have swept Jizhou a long time ago, so why huddle up in Montenegro for many years?
Among these fifty or sixty thousand people, only about one-third are Yellow Turban veterans, even if they are soldiers who have seen blood, they are somewhat courageous, and the rest are just peasant soldiers with blades, even worse than ordinary peasant soldiers, after all, in Montenegro, there is a shortage of materials, even if they are equipped with blades and weapons, they will be much worse than the blades that the nobles of Jizhou have given to their tenants.
How could such a person be placed in Lu Bu's heart?
It's just that this time, if you want to rush to the vicinity of Yecheng, there is still some distance on this journey......
The red horse has not galloped happily for a long time, and it is very happy to shake its head, for it, to let the wind blow the horse's mane head-on, let the dirt churn under the soles of the feet, there is probably nothing happier in the world than running.
Wei Xu clamped the belly of the war horse, drove the war horse forward and chased after him for a while, and finally saw that he was about to catch up with Lu Bu, but the red horse squinted his eyes and looked, there was still someone who wanted to catch up with me?
Suddenly he was a little unhappy, he snorted, his four hooves were opened, and he left Wei Xu far behind......
"Warm wait!" Wei Xu was helpless, so he could only call loudly, "Wait a minute, wait a minute......
Lu Bu laughed, then patted the red horse's head, and then slowly slowed down the horse, which gave Wei Xu a chance to catch up.
The red horse was still a little unhappy, seeing that Wei Xu's war horse was coming, some of the posture of wanting to get close to the side, so he turned his head unhappily is a bite, although he didn't really bite, but it was also frightened that Wei Xu's war horse hurriedly shrank back half a step, just following the red horse's buttocks, and he didn't dare to move forward.
Wei Xu was helpless, so he could only say like this: "Wen Hou, General Gao's rear army is already more than ten miles away from us, do you want to wait for them to ......?"
Lu Bu turned his head, squinted at the smoke and dust behind him, smiled disdainfully, and said, "What are you waiting for them to do?" "That Gao Gan, as soon as you look at your figure, you know that even if you have martial arts, you have already been deserted, and you are fat and fat, loose to death, for this kind of person, Lu Bu doesn't have much good feeling.
When Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's expression, he knew that he didn't understand what he meant, so he hurriedly said: "Wen Hou, General Gao is married to the Yuan family, and he is more or less half of the Yuan family, so it is a little ...... to leave it behind?"
Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted Wei Xu's words, he already understood what Wei Xu meant.
Gao Gan and Yuan Shao have a marriage relationship, so that means that if Gao Gan says something good for Lu Bu on Yuan Shao's side, Lu Bu's life will naturally be much better......
But for Lu Bu, these things are not in the scope of his consideration at all.
Oil one's tongue?
Collude with?
Could it be that the dignified Lu Bu and Lu Feng were going to be reduced to the point of doing such a thing?
Lu Bu didn't want to do this, nor did he want to do this, he was only willing to show it with the war horse under his crotch and the halberd in his hand, to get his own pride and glory. So Lu Bu didn't want to say anything more to Gao Gan, and even he felt that in this battle, whether there were any follow-up troops from Gao Gan was not a big problem......
Lu Bu smiled, looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky, and then slowly spit out half a sentence: "...... Why do you need to ...... this?"
………………………………
Two days later, Lu Bu, who had no reservations about the speed of the march, had already led his troops to directly contact the outermost Montenegrin army's Yu poison troops.
Yu Yu kept pinching the sword, and the nervous sweat was already coming out of his palms.
There were not many archers in the rear, but now the quiver was empty, and it was useless to just hold a bow, so he could only stare at a loss for what to do.
The Montenegrin army is poorly equipped, and once its morale suffers a blow, its problems that are difficult to recover from are vividly exposed.
At the beginning, Yu Poison's troops were okay, not only resisting Lu Bu's front horse army, but also killing a lot of these cavalry, seeing that they were about to break through and defeat the invading cavalry troops in one fell swoop, but this killing god on the other side, I don't know where he came out, with his personal guards, just like mowing grass, whistling and whistling, no one could stop him half a step!
At first, Yu Poison was also pleased to see that his archers, who came from the mountain hunters full-time, seemed to have some results after many days of practice, shooting down a lot of cavalry and horses, and some wounded cavalrymen were surrounded by their own foot soldiers, either stabbed to death directly on the horse, or pulled to the ground and dismembered by random blades, but all the good momentum disappeared with the arrival of the killing god......
Yu Poison's war knife has been raised, and the guards around him are nervously watching his movements, and then if Yu Poison only needs to wave his hand, they, the guards who have been recuperating in the back, will follow Yu Poison to immediately step forward to fill the position, to face the killing god, step forward to meet the impact, and accept the harshest hand-to-hand combat!
However, in the sight of the poison, the guy who was wielding the halberd unscrupulously yelled something, and then the surrounding cavalry fiercely split their horses, rushing to both sides, and actually made another way in the infantry battle formation, so that the follow-up cavalry slapped along the passage like a huge wave on the chaotic Black Mountain infantry line!
With the exception of a very small number of hoplites, the average light infantry was basically no match for cavalry. If it is said that it is arranged in a neat array, and then forcibly resisted with spears and shields, it is still possible to withstand the impact of the cavalry, but now, the cavalry led by Lu Bu has completely caused the chaos of the entire formation, and the array is twisted and twisted, and there is no cooperation between each other, how can it resist?
If the archers still have a reserve of arrows, then they can still provide some suppressive power, but now they can only rely on the hard-fought hand-to-hand combat of the Black Mountain infantry, how can they be Lu Bu's opponents?
At this time of poisonous hesitation, the cavalry unit with Lu Bu as the sharp arrow had already killed the infantry array of the Black Mountain Army and almost collapsed. Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd flew, screaming like a demon, I don't know how many spears were split and stabbed forward, I don't know how many arms and necks of Black Mountain foot soldiers were cut off, and even the red horse was excited to kick and bite, and was kicked by the bowl-sized horse's hooves, which was basically the end of the broken bones and fell.
Lu Bu was among them, and he was even more courageous. From the beginning of the battle to the present, if the general person's strength is inevitably somewhat decayed, but Lu Bu has not changed at all, and there is even a feeling that the more he fights, the more excited he becomes, and the more he fights, the more brave he becomes.
Lu Bu shouted wildly, Fang Tian's halberd from top to bottom, ruthlessly split half of a Montenegrin soldier in front of him with his shoulder strap, and the blood rain rushed to the sky, splashing the surrounding Montenegrin soldiers all over their bodies, and immediately frightened several Montenegrin soldiers around, and they didn't dare to face Lu Bu anymore, so they turned around and ran out!
The Black Mountain Army's infantry array was already quite thin after being attacked by the hand-to-hand attack just now, these Black Mountain infantry soldiers, under the sudden attack, barely assembled under the poisonous order, seeing such a fierce and one-sided slaughter scene, and facing such a ferocious attack by Lu Bu, they could no longer support it......
Although there are still a lot of their own foot soldiers around, there is only a thin last lane left in the front to resist, and the foot soldiers behind both sides have cowered, and the pace of shifting to the front array has slowed down again and again, and even stood still, completely destroying the entire formation.
The overseers in the rear, who were constantly driving their foot forward, were also powerless. These Black Mountain soldiers in front of Lu Bu are simply muddy, after encountering the heavy rain of Lu Bu's troops, it is a mess, no matter how the Inspector team maintains and continues, how to cut and kill the rout, these soldiers who don't have much experience in the battle formation still cry and cry Dad and Niang keep turning around and running out, swarming around the Inspector team, leaving everything, regardless of everything to leave this slaughterhouse where human lives are exchanged for human lives.
The infantry array collapsed and shattered under the ferocious attack of Lu Bu's cavalry!
At the moment, everyone is running out of the Black Mountain Infantry in a frenzy, just wanting to save their lives in this cruel fight, and some people have lost their blades, obviously they have been frightened by the cruel battlefield, and they are constantly howling, holding their heads and running around.
This Montenegrin army is not an elite army that has experienced frontier battles like the Bingzhou soldiers or the Xiliang soldiers, and they can't even compare with the ordinary county soldiers, they are just Zhang Yan and the various commanders who gathered some people among the hungry people to form an army, so naturally they behaved so badly.
Lu Bu laughed, ignoring that he and the Red Rabbit Horse were all stained with blood, and suddenly shouted with high fighting spirit: "So, Lu Bu, Lu Feng is here first!" Who would dare to fight a certain battle! ”
Yu Poison's hand trembled again and again, holding the war knife but never had the courage to swing it, hearing Lu Bu's shouting in the army, even the last bit of courage seemed to dissipate, so he put away the war knife, turned his head and fled out......
………………………………
“…… Lu Yuliang horse, called Chi Su, galloping the city and flying trenches, and his strong generals Cheng, Wei, etc., rode to break through the battle, one day or three or four, even battles, and broke the Yan army......"
After all, Ju Yi was with foot soldiers, relatively speaking, the speed of the march was not as fast as Lu Bu's cavalry, and when he arrived at Yecheng, he had not officially sent troops to fight with the Black Mountain Army, but when he received such a news, he immediately didn't know whether to be happy or surprised.
Of course, in addition to the battle report, there was another piece of news, which immediately made Ju Yi frown, "...... Yuan Cheqi wants to use Gao and Lu to collect a certain military power? ! ”
Ju Yi laughed a few times, and his eyes gradually turned cold......
