Chapter 106: Zhan Hebei faces enemies on all sides
Yuan Shao was defeated from Yecheng and retreated to Wei County to hold on, Wei County's water system was complicated, which was not conducive to the passage of large equipment, and Yuan Shao ordered Zhang He to garrison along the waterway, which made Lü Bu temporarily unable to break through the Wei County defense line.
Lu Bu saw that there was nothing to do, Wei County was surrounded on all sides, and Gao Shun was stationed in Handan in the north, so that Yuan Shao had no way to retreat, and he was not in a hurry to break through for a while, so he turned his troops and went straight to Liyang and Puyang counties.
Yuan Shao's garrison was scattered and could not resist, and Lü Bu, Zhao Yun and other troops took the prefectures and counties along the Yellow River lightly, making Yuan Shao's lonely city deeply encircled. Yuan Shao was so anxious that he couldn't afford to fall ill, so he followed the advice of Don't drive Tian Feng and summoned Liu Bei, the prime minister of Jibei, to lead troops into Jizhou to reinforce the Jizhou war situation.
Liu Bei was defeated at the beginning, but fortunately Yuan Shao took him in, and at this time he was sheltering in Jibei, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other former generals heard the news and went, and it was considered the peak of soldiers and horses for a while, plus the previous soldiers, there were 50,000 troops available at this time. After receiving Yuan Shao's request for help, Liu Bei immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and went straight to Neihuang County along the Yellow River.
Lu Bu was blocked by Liu Bei in Neihuang, and he couldn't advance for a while, so he ordered Zhao Yun to lead the army to confront him, led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and turned back to take Fanjun, Baima, Wuchao and other places. Invincible all the way, Yuan Shao's defenders fled from the wind, not daring to have the heart to fight.
At this point, the Wei County garrisoned by Yuan Shao had become a dangerous place for the enemy on all sides, except for Neihuang was occupied by Liu Bei, and the rest of the retreat routes were occupied by Lu Bu.
At this time, Lu Bu brought the army back, with a total of 200,000 troops on the north and south lines, and surrounded Yuan Shao's regiments.
And Lu Bu was the soldier who wanted to surrender without a fight, Yuan Shao's retreat was in harmony with his mind, and the empty city of Wei County naturally smiled. Since then, Lü Bu's expedition to Jizhou has officially joined forces in the north and south, and Gao Shun has served as the pre-war governor for two years, and finally came to an end.
Lu Bu remembered his hard work and achievements, appointed him as the envoy of Youzhou, and continued to lead the people of his headquarters to attack Youzhou in the north. The overall situation of Jizhou has been decided, Yuan Shao lost his troops and lost his generals, greatly damaged his vitality, and it was impossible to turn over.
Gao Shun led his troops north, Zhang Liao accompanied him as a deputy general, and Lü Bu and Zhao Yun led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Neihuang to confront Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's 100,000 coalition troops.
However, although the 100,000 coalition army had many soldiers, it turned out to be the weaker side, Lu Bu went to the front of the camp every day to call for battle, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others were all guarding the camp and did not come out, it seemed that they were frightened by Lu Bu's might.
How could Zhang Fei be so idle, every day he was like thunder, shouting that he was going to fight Lu Bu for 300 rounds.
The topography of Neihuang is special, low in the west and high in the east, so there is often the peculiar scene of the river flowing backwards, and the water of the Yellow River flows to the east again after a big bay here, which is called Neihuang.
Lu Bu is located in the west of the city, the terrain is low, it is a heavy crossbow arrow has no place for a while, and the strategy of strong attack is only afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, so he can only send people to call the battle in front of the Yuan-Liu coalition army in the early stage every day, and the response to him is often just a burst of random arrows.
However, how could Lu Bu be easily stopped by him? Although Neihuang is the throat of the eastern Jizhou, but by no means the only place, Lü Bu won the essence of later generations interspersed behind the enemy, with cavalry to attack Yangping County, Huaxian and other places behind Neihuang, cut off its rear road supply, and turned Neihuang into an isolated and helpless city.
The Yuan-Liu coalition army had no choice but to lead the army, set up a position, and prepare for a decisive battle with Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu's combat power is strong, but he is not stupid, how can he fight hard with him at this time, but shrink the battle line, and only attack the battle formation of the Yuan-Liu coalition army with a strong crossbow, the strong crossbow is huge, the range is far farther than the manpower longbow, and it is a dozen at a time, the power is very terrifying, the only drawback is that the interval is too long, it is easy to be seen through by the enemy and flee.
After Yuan Liu's army was attacked by a strong crossbow, the damage was very great, and he could only retreat farther, and then charge from both wings with cavalry, intending to disturb Lu Bu's strong crossbow army, but Lu Bu was by no means only a strong crossbow available, every soldier, including the cavalry, was equipped with a small light crossbow for a single person, although the range was short, but it was convenient and easy to carry, three crossbow arrows could be shot at a time, the assembly was simple and convenient, and it was extremely easy to use.
When the cavalry approached, 50,000 troops, 50,000 light crossbows, and 150,000 crossbow arrows fell from the sky, like black clouds covering the sky, and a large area of black pressure fell from the top of the cavalry's head, and the cavalry was caught off guard, and was shot and wounded countless times.
Only less than 20% of the cavalry broke through the rain of arrows, but they were intercepted and killed by Lu Bu's iron cavalry, who had been waiting in front for a long time, and the whole army was wiped out in a blink of an eye.
Although Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others knew that Lu Bu was brave and good at fighting, they never thought about how powerful he was, and often laughed at Yuan Shao's mediocrity in private, and the good situation was actually given to Lu Bu by him in vain.
At this time, I saw the way of advancing Lu Bu's army with my own eyes, and the fear in my heart was overflowing, Lu Bu only relied on the strong crossbow, so that the coalition army could not get close, he could only beat people, but others could not beat him, this method of using troops was very similar to that of the pre-Qin.
It's just that the pre-Qin family had the help of the Mo family to improve the machine, and there were several generations of ancestors to accumulate wealth to build a strong army, and since the Emperor Wu of this dynasty, the implementation of the national policy of abolishing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism, the Mohist machine bracket has long been withered and lost to be inherited.
Why can he Lu Bu create such a terrifying heavy weapon, the key is that it can be used in large quantities, and the power after gathering a small amount into a lot is by no means as simple as one plus one.
Zhang Fei was aggrieved by being beaten, and he was in a position of being beaten from beginning to end, which really made him feel sorry, and he couldn't bear it anymore at this time, so he stepped out of the horse and shouted: "Lu Bu, do you dare to fight me to the death?" ”
Lu Bu knew that Zhang Fei was brave, if he fought to the death, he was not strong now, and he might not be able to win, and when he was hesitating, Zhao Yun had already rushed out of the flying horse, brandishing a spear, and shouted like a dragon out of the water: "Brother Yide, I will accompany you in a battle." ”
Zhang Fei saw that the person who came was an acquaintance, and when he listened to orders in front of Gongsun Zhan's tent in the past, he often talked with him, but this little white face actually took refuge in Lu Bu, and sure enough, people gathered like others, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Yun, you dog who forgets righteousness, will let you die under your grandfather's spear today!" ”
When he was working in front of Gongsun Zhan's tent, Zhao Yun had a friendship with Liu Bei, who respected him for being quite benevolent and righteous, and promised that if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely go to him to do great things.
However, later Lu Bu personally went to Zhao Yun's hometown Changshan to invite him, and the two were like-minded, and they had a great feeling of hating each other, so they naturally left their previous casual words about Liu Bei behind, and looked for Lu Bu when they were at home.
At this time, after listening to Zhang Fei's insults, I remembered the words of the day, the ancients made the most important promises, and I couldn't help blushing for a while, and I took a little more care when I made a move.
But when the masters intersect, where can he be distracted, Zhang Fei's spear seems to carry wind, rain, thunder and lightning, powerful like the wind, offensive like rain, momentum like thunder, swift as lightning, and his moves go straight to the point, without mercy. On the other hand, Zhao Yun was confused by words for a while, he fell behind in one move, his moves were restricted, and he was pressed and had no power to fight back.
