Chapter 61: Heavy losses, Lu Bu planned

Bao Xin said angrily: "Didn't this official see it, Xu Duwei, this official ordered you to immediately lead the soldiers to step forward to block Lu Bu, there must be no mistake." ”

"Prime Minister, Lu Bu is brave, and the end will be far inferior." Xu Zhong's face was bitter, it was too late to avoid Lu Bu at this time, what was the difference between taking the initiative to step forward and sending him to death.

Bao Xin reprimanded angrily: "This official is the commander of the army, and he orders you to step forward immediately, and if you disobey, kill on the spot." ”

Xu Zhong's heart sank, and the eyes of the soldiers around him made him feel uneasy, but Bao Xin's tone was not the slightest polite.

Thinking of what happened in the army before, it is not difficult to guess why Bao Xin did this, the raid on the Xuzhou army was out of Bao Xin's strategy, and now the army failed to raid, but was surrounded by the Xuzhou army, and suffered heavy losses, even if Xu Zhong returned to Peixian, he would be punished.

"The last general commands." Xu Zhong hugged his fists.

More than 100 soldiers followed Xu Zhong with heavy steps and came towards Lu Bu.

After only ten steps forward, Xu Zhong shouted: "Bao Xin is unjust, let me wait to come forward to die, in exchange for the chance of his life, Bendu Wei decided to take refuge in Wen Hou, and those who are willing to take refuge in Wen Hou will follow Ben Du Wei to kill back." ”

The Yanzhou soldiers in the rear were already in a state of mental tension, and when they faced the impact of the cavalry, they deeply realized how weak their own strength was, and the betrayal of Captain Xu Zhong brought many soldiers to respond to the situation.

On the battlefield, the Xuzhou army is like a wolf and a tiger, if they take refuge in Lu Bu, they will have a chance to survive, and they are more at ease by following Lu Bu, who has taken refuge with the captain.

Lu Bu was about to rush into the Yanzhou army, and when he saw such a dramatic scene in the Yanzhou army, the smile on his face became even stronger.

The victory of the vanguard army in the first battle will be frustrated by the momentum of the Yanzhou army, and Lu Bu did not occupy Yanzhou's mind in the conquest of Yanzhou, and he also understood that it was impossible to swallow Yanzhou from Liu Dai's hands just by relying on the current strength of the Xuzhou army.

The victory of the Xuzhou army on the battlefield of Yanzhou was to proclaim LΓΌ Bu's status to the princes, and if they wanted to oppose LΓΌ Bu, they had to be prepared to bear the corresponding price.

The betrayal of Captain Xu Zhong at such a critical moment brought more soldiers to betray Bao Xin and left, they followed Bao Xin and no longer saw the hope of victory, there were Xuzhou troops in front and back, how could they get away, as for the situation of putting them to death and then being born, it was more difficult to appear in the body of the Yanzhou army than to ascend to the sky.

"Prime Minister, what should I do?" A general asked with a dead face, looking at Bao Xin with an even unkind gaze.

Bao Xin raised his vigilance and immediately ordered: "As long as you return to the city, the enemy army is not worried." ”

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, when facing Lu Bu, the Yanzhou army has lost its sharpness, and the cavalry charge is difficult for them to stop, seeing Lu Bu leading the cavalry to kill, the most direct response of many Yanzhou army soldiers is to get out of the way, so that the Xuzhou army can easily pass.

These officers and men of the Yanzhou Army have already shown their determination with their deeds.

Following Bao Xin to fight will only be a dead end, and there is no existence in the Yanzhou army that can fight against the elite cavalry.

Bao Xin was in a hurry, and after exchanging his armor with his personal guards, he was able to leave the battlefield under the protection of the sergeants.

The shouting lasted for more than an hour before it gradually subsided.

Of the 5,000 troops who raided the Xuzhou army, there were only more than 500 people who followed Bao Xin back to the city.

The loss of more than 4,000 people in the First World War was a big blow to the Yanzhou army.

The Xuzhou army captured nearly 3,000 Yanzhou soldiers, many of whom surrendered voluntarily.

After the news of the victory spread among the army, the morale of the soldiers was significantly boosted.

And the victory of this battle made the officers and men in the army have more expectations for the next battle.

Lu Bu also realized the important role of strategy in the battle, if it weren't for Jia Xu's advance planning in the army, Bao Xin would not easily lead the army out of the city to raid the Xuzhou army, and he would not have paid so many losses, as long as the tricks on the battlefield can make the enemy pay a heavy price, it is the most useful.

With Jia Xu giving advice in the army, Lu Bu is more at ease.

In last night's battle, the Xuzhou army did not suffer much damage, and the morale was low, so that the officers and men of the Yanzhou army did not show their ordinary combat effectiveness at all, and they panicked in the face of the impact of the cavalry.

"The last general, Xu Zhong, has seen Wen Hou." Du Wei Xu Zhong respectfully hugged his fists.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said: "Last night, Bao Xin was extremely bold and led a large army to raid our army, and Captain Xu Zhong took refuge in time with the general, and the general was very pleased. ”

"Wenhou is brave, and the last general has been yearning for Wenhou for a long time." Xu Zhong hugged his fists.

Many generals in the army looked at Xu Zhong with disdain, if the same situation was put on them, they would definitely lead the soldiers in the army to stop the enemy without hesitation, instead of surrendering.

Lu Bu said: "Ben will have something to do with you, and if you succeed, Ben will be rewarded." ”

"Wen Hou has orders, and he will never give up." Xu Zhong's face was excited.

Lu Budao: "You were originally a lieutenant under Bao Xin, there must be many acquaintances under Bao Xin, quietly went to the city to open the city gate, and the general led the cavalry to rush in, even if there are thousands of elite soldiers in the city, they don't want to defend the city." ”

"Wen Hou, this matter is not allowed, Bao Xin is cautious by nature, after last night's defeat, he will definitely strengthen the defense in the city, and it will be difficult to succeed if he rushes into the city." Xu Zhong hurriedly said that he had just betrayed Bao Xin, and if he returned to the city to find traces for Bao Xin, he would definitely die without a place to bury.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "What? Could it be that after Xu Duwei defected to the general, he didn't want to dedicate Pei County to the general? ”

"Wen Hou is angry, and there will be a strategy to seize Pei County." Xu Zhongdao.

Lu Bu showed curiosity, "But it's okay to say it. ”

"The last general knows a lot of generals in the army, and if he can win over him in secret, he will definitely be able to make Bao Xin return in vain." Xu Zhongdao, so far, he can only bite the bullet, if he can't satisfy Lu Bu, he may be sent to Bao Xin.

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, this matter should be done as soon as possible, the Yanzhou army has a lot in numbers." ”

"The last general commands." Xu Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xu Zhong left, Zhang Liao said: "General, Xu Zhong is betrayed in battle, and he can't be gullible." ”

"What I want is to persecute this person, so that this person secretly unites with Bao Xin and betrays him." Lu Bu sneered.
