Chapter 114: Hand-to-hand combat!
Lu Bu led a large army to the west, and the first target to be eliminated was naturally the Wuhuan clan entrenched in the subject states of Liaodong and the county of Liaoxi.
Only by destroying them can Lu Bu's forces be adjacent to Yuan Shao's, and then he can lead the army to take advantage of Yuan Shao's current war with Cao Cao to march westward and gain more territory and population that originally belonged to Yuan Shao.
Since defeating or surrendering the invading Wuhuan cavalry, going north to destroy the Fuyu Kingdom and the Eastern Xianbei, and collecting the surrendered troops of the Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Eastern Xianbei, now, the number of ordinary soldiers under Lu Bu's account has reached 50,000, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry has also expanded from 10,000 to 20,000.
Among them, 50,000 ordinary soldiers, 10,000 were stationed in Xing'an County, 10,000 were stationed in Jijun, 10,000 were stationed in Xuanwu Liaoyang, and 10,000 were stationed in Liaodong Liao, and the other 10,000 continued to be stationed in Xiangping, Liaodong, and Lü Bu left Hao Zhao to lead them.
Lü Bu himself led 20,000 wolf cavalry and 300 personal soldiers to the west, and united with the 10,000 ordinary soldiers who were now stationed in the Liao team to cross the Great Liao River and exterminate the Wuhuan clan.
Of course, it was not only the army led by Lu Bu who marched west to destroy the Wuhuan clan.
In addition, there are 10,000 troops led by Gao Shun and 700 camps marching west from Liaoyang, plus Chen Gong, Wang Dali, and Yan Rou leading 10,000 troops from Xing'an County to the south, and the three-way army will jointly destroy the Wuhuan clan.
Lu Bu led all the cavalry, so he quickly rushed to the Liao team from Xiangping in Liaodong, and merged with Zhang Liao and Pei Yuanshao and their 10,000 soldiers and horses.
This army led by Lu Bu marched west to destroy the Wuhuan clan, Lu Bu was here, naturally Lu Bu was the main general, Zhang Liao, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Yi, Liao Hua, Han Zhi, Zhou Cang and others were deputy generals, and Lu Bu's father-in-law Cao Bao led a thousand navy to continue to run rampant in the Great Liao River, so as to avoid the Wuhuan cavalry taking advantage of the chaos to cross the Great Liao River!
And this time, the army division with the army, Chen Gong, the left army division, led the army south from Xing'an County, so it was naturally Li Ru, the right army division under Lu Bu's account.
There was a naval fleet led by Cao Bao, so the 30,000 cavalry led by Lu Bu quickly crossed the Great Liao River by boat, and then marched towards the Wuhuan tribe entrenched in the subject country of Liaodong with great vigour.
Although Bang Dun is the single Yu of the Wuhuan clan, the Wuhuan clan, like the Xianbei clan, is divided into many tribes, distributed in Youzhou or outside the country.
The Wuhuan tribes set themselves up as kings, and they only listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.
Among them, the king of the Wuhuan tribe entrenched in the subject country of Liaodong is Su Fuyan, who calls himself the 'King of Cliffs'!
Of course, the previous generation of Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju's parent-child Lou class was ambitious, so he mixed with Su Fuyan, and his purpose can be imagined.
Lu Bu's army, because of its proximity to the Wuhuan tribe of Liaodong's subordinate Guolouban and Su Fuyan, naturally the first target to be destroyed was them.
Since the last time Li Ru used the fire ox array to defeat the 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry of Badun in one fell swoop, Lou Ban and Su Fuyan who were scared away, plus Lu Bu led the army to destroy the Fuyu Kingdom and the eastern Xianbei, and their power has risen sharply, so Lou Ban and Su Fuyan have been cowering in the subject countries of Liaodong, and they dare not invade Lu Bu's territory anymore to plunder the money, grain and population under Lu Bu's rule.
Now, Lu Bu led a large army to invade them instead, and suddenly, Lou Ban and Su Fuyan, who had already received the news, were terrified.
However, the two of them were not the ones who accepted their fate, so they let Lu Bu lead the army to destroy or drive them away, and then let Lu Bu get the subject state of Liaodong.
Lou Ban and Su Muyan hurriedly gathered the 40,000 Wuhuan cavalry they could command under their tent and prepared to fight to the death with the army led by Lu Bu!
They have no foreign aid now, and at this time, Gao Shun and Chen Gong also led 10,000 troops to invade from the east or from the north, so naturally they did not have time to pay attention to their Liaodong vassals.
As for the Wuhuan tribe distributed in other parts of Youzhou, even if they want to send troops to rescue, they will go to Liaoxi County to Badun, after all, Liaoxi County is blocking their way, plus Bundun is the current Wuhuan Shan Yu!
It is reasonable to be reasonable, and the first to rescue is also Liaoxi County, where Bandun is located.
Soon, Lou Ban and Su Fuyan gathered 40,000 Wuhuan cavalry and prepared to engage Lu Bu's army in short combat.
As long as they pay attention to Lu Bu, they will use the Fire Bull Array against them when the time comes, they don't believe that Lu Bu's 20,000 wolf horsemen and 10,000 ordinary soldiers are their opponents!
On the other side, Lü Bu led a large army across the Great Liaoshui, located on the west bank of the Great Liaoshui, the two counties of Xiandu County and Fang County, under the front of Lü Bu's army, were soon either strongly attacked by the army led by Lü Bu, or were afraid to open the city and surrender.
Let Lu Bu and them have two strongholds on the west bank of the Great Liaoshui.
After dividing some soldiers to garrison Xiandu County and Fang County, Lü Bu led the army to continue advancing.
Lu Bu's target is the entire territory of Liaodong's vassal state, if he destroys the army led by Lou Ban and Su Muyan first, Liaodong's vassal state will naturally be able to succeed easily, and they will naturally surrender without a fight.
After all, the subject country of Liaodong was originally the territory of the Han people, and there were many Han people living in it, and now, Lu Bu, a Han prince, led a large army, and Lu Bu was very good to his people, how could they not submit to Lu Bu and then be the people under Lu Bu's rule?
In the past, the Wuhuan clan treated them as slaves, making their lives very hard, and even often worried that their lives would be harmed by the Wuhuan clan, they had long been disgusted with the Wuhuan clan, and they wanted to resist the rule of the Wuhuan clan many times but did not have the ability!
Now, the opportunity has come, and they naturally want to seize this opportunity that has come so hard!
These Han people living in the subject country of Liaodong are now looking forward to it, waiting for Lu Bu to destroy the Wuhuan clan entrenched in the subject country of Liaodong and let them return to the arms of the lord of the Han people.
On a vast prairie, the army led by Lu Bu and the 40,000 Wuhuan cavalry led by Lou Ban and Su Muyan looked at each other from afar.
The collision between the two sides is imminent.
Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, looking at the cavalry of the Wuhuan clan in the distance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, it was a disdainful smile.
Next to Lu Bu were generals such as Zhang Liao, Liu Yi, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Han Zhi, as well as 20,000 wolf horsemen and 10,000 ordinary soldiers.
Of course, these 10,000 ordinary soldiers are not ordinary, and now, Lu Bu occupies Fuyu and Xianbei in the east, and has a lot of pasture for Lu Bu to raise horses, so most of these 10,000 ordinary soldiers are riding war horses.
It's just that they are not as elite as the Bingzhou wolf riders trained by Lu Bu himself!
As for Li Ru, the military advisor of the army, he naturally does not need to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Therefore, Li Ru is now staying in the rear of the army, and by the way, he will manage the grain of the army for Lu Bu, so as not to be transported in time or plundered by the Wuhuan cavalry, so that his own army will not be hungry!
Now, Lu Bu's army and the Wuhuan cavalry have met, so naturally there is no shortage of hand-to-hand combat!
"Kill!" At this moment, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in Lu Bu's hand swung upwards violently, commanding the army to kill the Wuhuan cavalry.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......" The army obeyed Lu Bu's order, and after roaring one after another, their eyes showed bloodthirsty color, and they waved the weapons in their hands and slaughtered the Wuhuan cavalry on the opposite side with great momentum.
On the opposite side, Lou Ban and Su Fuyan saw that Lu Bu's army had moved, and they naturally immediately ordered their own cavalry to fight.
......Suddenly, the two armies collided together, and the killing was incomparably fierce!
