Sure enough, the deeper the army went, the worse the disaster grew.

Displaced people and beggars are everywhere, and old and weak women and children lie on the side of the road. Occasionally, a few skinny "bandits" came out, galloping among the refugees, showing off their might.

When they saw Lu Bu's army coming, they all lost their anger and stood on the side of the road in panic, staring and watching.

And these refugees turned a blind eye to Lu Bu's army, and when they came to such a field, their stomachs were empty, and there was no hope at all.

The old, weak, women and children could not survive, and the remaining able-bodied men naturally gathered into gangs and plundered and killed everywhere in order to make a living.

However, under the catastrophe, many places in Yizhou have no harvest, and they compete for endless resources with endless desires, and the tragedy of the killing can be seen.

Lu Bu led an army of more than 50,000 people to wander around in Handan, and placed dozens of carts of grain and grass donated by Yuan Shao in a conspicuous place behind him.

Yang Xiu once admonished: "The bandits in Montenegro are all composed of forces of different sizes, and they are usually scattered everywhere and hidden in the mountains, and it is extremely difficult to exterminate them. Why not lure them into a group with tempting assets, and then catch them all once and for all. ”

According to Yang Xiu's plan, Lu Bu used all the military rations as bait and wandered around.

Although the Montenegrin thieves knew that it was a strategy for the officers and soldiers to lure them into attacking, so much grain and grass was what the thieves urgently needed.

It was Yang Xiu who concluded that the Black Mountain thieves would inevitably entangle their friends and gather troops that they thought were strong enough, and they would come to plunder.

After all, Lu Bu is only 50,000 people, and in this Handan, there are dozens of big and small leaders, and the total number of thieves exceeds 200,000, so he naturally has the courage and confidence.

As expected, within two days, a group of Black Mountain bandits finally couldn't hold their breath and finally blocked the way of Lu Bu's army near Maocheng in Handan.

For the Montenegrin Army, this Maocheng is located at the foot of Taihang Mountain, which can be attacked and retreated, and it takes a lot of effort for the leaders to choose this place.

The Black Mountain thieves wanted to get this large amount of grain and grass, and they were taken by Lu Buwei's name, so they didn't dare to come rashly, lingered and hesitated for many days, and finally made up their minds to gather 150,000 people.

When Lu Bu saw his formation, he was also secretly surprised. This Montenegrin army is different from the regular official army, if the official army is in formation, 150,000 people are only a few large phalanxes, although it looks majestic and majestic, but it can see the end after all.

These rabbles are different, 150,000 people are sprinkled with a sea of 150,000 people, and they are scattered irregularly on the hills of the wasteland, and the grass and trees in the mountains seem to be endless.

It's just that although there are many thieves in this Black Mountain, the description is far from that of Lu Bu's army, in Lu Bu's army, the heavy cavalry are all steel and heavy armor, standard with long spears, short knives and short bows, and even the infantry has leather armor and strong shields, long halberds and short blades.

On the other hand, the Montenegrin Army, only a group of former armies are equipped with halberds and spears, and they are bold and slashed, and they are all kinds of and cannot use the technique of battle formation combination. The rear army was even more ragged, using wooden sticks and farm tools as weapons, and when they were about to fight, they could only shout a few times, and they were strong.

Lu Bu saw that although these Montenegrin troops claimed to be more than 100,000, only 30,000 of them could really have the strength to fight.

These rabble, since they didn't need Lu Bu to take action personally, asked left and right: "Who can break the thief for me?" ”

Hou Chengdao: "I am willing to fight for the lord, only 10,000 iron horsemen, and I will make the thieves die without a place to be buried." ”
