Chapter 50: Night Battle at Simang Mountain
Lu Bu saw Liu Biao and Huang Chengyan's eyes were confused, and he looked at himself with admiration, and said secretly in his heart: If you talk about bragging, in this Han Dynasty, I say second, who dares to say first? Hehe!
Huang Chengyan untied the knot in his heart and felt better. The three of them talked and laughed happily, and when they talked about the establishment of the school, they had a sense of like-mindedness.
Originally, Liu Biao envisioned that the school would only offer theory and mathematics, but today after listening to Lu Bu's remarks, he was very surprised, so he added an elective engineering subject.
Lu Budao: "I think we should also add the military department, how can I be a big man, how can I be weak and weak, and I have no power to bind the chicken!" β
The two applauded.
After three days of garrisoning in Wancheng, the army was well prepared, crossed the water, and reached the ancient city.
The ancient city is small, but it is the Acropolis of Runan, the soldiers are few and the generals are outnumbered, Lu Bu's troops are everywhere, and the guards are all defeated and fled.
That night, the army rested in the ancient city, and was discussing with the generals, when he suddenly heard that the soldiers had come to report, and a messenger from Runan came to deliver the war book.
Lu Bu sneered: "The two armies intersect in front of the formation, just kill them, and try to make them useless." β
took the war book and looked at it carefully, but it was Cao Cao's handwriting.
The war book said: It has been several months since I fought with the general outside the border, and I have admired the general's demeanor for a long time. Today, the generals and soldiers sent to Yuzhou, but regardless of the residual poison of the yellow turbans, they really forgot the country because of selfish interests. Today, Brother Yuan invited, Cao Special led 100,000 troops, came to mediate, if the general retreated, the country is very lucky, Yuzhou is very lucky!
After reading the war book, Lu Bu was angry, tore the war book to pieces, and scolded angrily: "Cao Cao, a traitor, dares to coerce me, come to someone, and in the future, he will behead the public, and immediately send troops to Runan." β
Jia Xu hurriedly admonished: "Don't be angry, the two armies will not be killed, Cao Cao will salute first and then the soldiers, we will behead the envoy, will we not lose the righteousness and teach the truth!" β
Lu Buyu's anger was hard to dissipate, but he still followed Jia Xu's words.
Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao broke the yellow scarf in Qingzhou last month, accommodating more than 300,000 people, and countless women and children, his selection is strong, known as 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and with the help of Yingchuan celebrities Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia, the prosperity of the soldiers, no one can match." β
Of course, these Lu Bu knew that Sima Lang of Luoyang had already sent information to the princes.
Cao Cao got the help of Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, broke the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, shocked Qingzhou, and was welcomed by Zhang Miao and others to enter Yanzhou.
Yuan Shao replaced Han Fu as the assassin of Yizhou, and Liu Bei replaced Tao Qian as the pastor of Xuzhou.
For a time, the demons of the Central Plains were dancing wildly, each divided into the world.
Although Lu Bu knew this information for a long time, when he heard Jia Xu talk about it at this time, he was still so angry that he gritted his teeth, thinking that he would be able to take the lead by capturing Nanyang and then trying to Yuzhou.
Unexpectedly, the princes of all walks of life are not idle, and they are not left behind, and they are attacking cities and plundering land, which has obviously become the climate.
Lu Bu calmed down and asked Ji Jiaxu: "How do you think Mr. should deal with it?" β
Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao came from afar, salute first and then soldier, I should reply to the letter and reply with good words, I have slowed down his heart, and when he relaxes his vigilance, he will attack the city again, and he will be able to break it." β
Lu Bu followed Jia Xu's suggestion, replied to Cao Cao, and promised to give him face and withdraw the army immediately.
After the envoy left, he immediately ordered the troops and horses, took the generals of Qi Zuo, and went to Runan.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the city of Runan, the fire was highlighted in front of him for dozens of miles, and a general held a halberd, came to meet him, and shouted: "I am Jiling of Yuzhou, Lu Bu is coming to die!" β
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses galloped and came in a hurry.
Lu Bu did not reply, and appointed Xu Huang and Hao Meng to lead the cavalry to cover the left side of the battle formation, and ordered Gao Shun and Zang Ba to cover the right flank, and brought Cheng Lian, Cao Xing and others to lead 50,000 Chinese troops to meet Ji Ling.
Ji Ling had few soldiers, and he couldn't fight Lu Bu in three combinations, so he was defeated and fled backwards.
How could Lu Bu let him go, and chased him all the way, Ji Ling panicked, and ran into the Simang Mountain trail and went up the mountain.
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and said in his heart: There is a way in heaven that you don't enter, and there is no way to come to hell! Isn't fleeing into the mountains killing yourself?
Then he led the troops to chase after him, and just arrived at the foot of the mountain, suddenly the rolling stones and trees on the mountain fell down the mountain, and the flying arrows rushed towards him.
There was an ambush in the mountains, and Lu Bu was careless, lost many horses, and hurriedly ordered a retreat.
Hearing that he shouted behind him to kill Zhentian, it was Yuan Shu's generals Zhang Xun and Lei Bo who led troops to attack.
Lu Bu turned his head to meet Zhang Xun again, Zhang Xun was invincible, but he was defeated and fled.
Lu Bu was about to pursue, but behind him, Ji Ling led his troops down the mountain to attack. hurriedly returned to the army to meet the battle, Ji Ling retreated back into the mountains in defeat, and Zhang Xun came behind him.
Lu Bu fell into a tug-of-war for a while, intersecting left and right, exhausted, and couldn't help beating his chest and feet.
At this time, there was an order to report that General Cao Cao was forbidden to lead 50,000 troops and sneak attack behind our army, and the strength of our army's Gao Shun Department was very different and fell into a bitter battle.
Lu Bu was shocked, and then ignored Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, and withdrew to rescue Gao Shun. Ji Ling and Zhang Xun took the opportunity to chase and kill, and killed countless Lu Bu Military Academy.
Lu Bu broke his tail to survive all the way back, saw that General Cao Cao commanded the army in Banzheng, surrounded Gao Shun tightly, and was afraid of the power of the camp battle formation, and did not enter the formation, only set up a strong crossbow and hard bow on the periphery, and several salvos came down, and Gao Shun's army suffered heavy casualties.
Lu Bu hated it, led the army to cover up behind the killing, and stayed on guard, it was too late!
Lu Bu held a halberd and stabbed directly at the ban, carrying the momentum of thunder, but he couldn't stop it, and he was overturned in only one round.
The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward and tied him up and captured him.
Yu Ban's deputy generals Lu Qian and Li Dian hurriedly led the army to break through.
When Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu was coming to help, he ordered the trapping camp to besiege Cao Cao's army, and Cao's army was caught in the front and rear and fell into a bitter battle.
At this time, there was another shout of killing from the east, but it was the two generals of Yuan Shu, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, who came after him, joined forces and killed behind Lu Bu.
And Xu Huang, Lu Bu's left-flank assault army, also came to the aid and killed Ji Ling's army.
For a time, the demons danced wildly, thousands of horses galloped, gongs and drums were noisy, wailing all over the field, and wolf smoke and beacons rose to the sky, reflecting the entire sky.
The battle was not until dawn, when Cao Cao personally led troops to help, and LΓΌ Bu ordered a retreat. Both sides were sleepy and tired, suffering heavy casualties, and each withdrew to its headquarters to recuperate.
Lu Bu returned to the camp and counted the people, and the original 100,000 army was less than 60,000!
The battle suffered heavy losses, greatly reduced troops, and lost all his sharpness, and Yuan Shu could no longer be broken in one fell swoop.
I found that the princes of the world have no easy people, and I really underestimated the heroes of the world.
After resting for a few days, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao did not come to attack, and they also suffered heavy casualties, and they had already reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones.
Two days later, Lu Bu ordered Zang Ba and Hao Meng to go to raid the battle and call for battle, but Yuan Shu and Cao Cao stuck to the camp and ignored it.
Lu Bu called for two days, but he was unable to storm the city, so he had to return in a huff.
That night, Jia Xu admonished: "Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are holding each other's horns, and our army has suffered heavy casualties and is unable to attack, plus the food and grass that have been spent here for many days are running out, it is better to withdraw the army as soon as possible, and then try for a good opportunity." β
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu led his troops back to the west and returned to Nanyang.
After passing through the water, I didn't feel a long sigh of emotion, and when I came, I was full of ambition, and I was depressed when I returned.
The battle was fruitless, and the lives of the soldiers were lost in vain, and I felt inexplicable guilt for a while.
