Chapter 60: Turning Enemies Against Each Other
As soon as the morale of Li Dao's troops engaged Lu Bu's army, hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and their morale plummeted.
I don't know who shouted: "The Northern Army of Bingzhou is here!" β
"Help!"
"Run, everyone, the Northern Army is going to slaughter us!"
Li Daobu actually fled without a fight, rumors spread in the army, and a large number of deserters appeared in an instant!
"Hell!"
"You all stop for me, there is only one general on the other side!"
Li Dao himself was still in the rear of the army, the morale of the front army collapsed, he still wanted to collect the deserters, but he didn't want the front army to run away, and in turn impacted his rear army, the front and rear armies collided together, and the formation was in chaos!
"Good chance!"
Lu Bu watched the enemy army collapse, raised his eyebrows, and said strangely: "What's the situation with Li Dao, this is just the beginning of the battle, and he can't even control his own army?" β
Strange is strange, but he will definitely not give up the rare fighter in front of him, lead the army to attack and kill Li Wei's army formation, and kill the Quartet.
Lu Bu took the opportunity to shout: "Surrender and don't kill!" β
"Surrender!"
"We are willing to surrender!"
"Please, General, we surrender!"
In an instant, Li Dao's troops suffered heavy losses, 5,000 troops, more than 800 people were killed in battle, and the remaining more than 4,000 people actually dropped their blades and surrendered.
"Poof!"
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Li Dao was furious, opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of old blood, lay on his horse, and fled back to the base camp under the protection of his personal guards.
LΓΌ Bu quickly gathered Li Dao's deserters, and the number of troops rose to 10,002 in total, and immediately divided 2,000 Li Dao's infantry to ambush at the front end, rear end, and both sides of the rear end of the river.
And ordered 1,000 people on both sides of the rear end to cut down nearby trees, drag sand and dust, and move back and forth as a suspicious army.
And he led 10,000 pure cavalry and continued to Dong Zhuo's base camp.
Lu Bu won a big victory on his side, and Ma Chao, who was still rushing back on the other side, got a system prompt: "Lu Bu took the lead, shocked the enemy's courage in a battle, and the commander value was +1." β
"Lu Bude Jia Xu taught the art of war, and in the fight, he comprehended the stunts and was like a bamboo!"
Getting the system prompt, Ma Chao was shocked: "What? Lu Bu actually comprehended the stunt on his own! β
At the same time, the scout came to report: "Lu Bu led the whole army to attack, Hua Xiong, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou only got an empty camp on the 4th route, and they are returning to outflank the rear road of Lu Bu's army." β
Ma Chao immediately ordered: "The whole army is marching urgently, be sure to rush to Longxian before dusk!" β
"Whoa!"
In Dong Zhuo's base camp, Li Ruzheng persuaded Dong Zhuo: "Lord Mu Shou, why do you want to be like Lu Bu? β
"I also sent 5 soldiers and horses to cut off Lu Bu's back road, this is to form a deep hatred with him!"
"Humph!"
Dong Zhuo angrily slapped the handsome case and shouted: "Lu Bu actually dares to surrender the remnants of the rebels under our family's nose, this is unbearable!" β
"So many people, all of them are our family's soldiers and horses!"
"Our family!"
Li Ru still wanted to persuade, but suddenly there was a shout of killing outside, and a soldier ran in from outside and knelt on the ground: "My lord, it's not good!" General Li Dao's team had just set out for a short time before it was defeated by Lu Bu's army, and all Li Dao's troops surrendered! β
After listening to the military report, Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he immediately stood up: "What did you say?!" β
The soldier continued to report: "General Li Dao fled back to the base camp alone, with smoke and dust billowing behind him, it should be Lu Bu's army chasing over!" β
When Li Ru heard this, this is terrible, it's fatal, Lu Bu is here!
He immediately grabbed Dong Zhuo's robe: "My lord, run!" β
"What to run!"
Dong Zhuo shook his robe, threw Li Ru to the ground, and said angrily: "Our family wants to see, whether Lu Bu dares to kill our family!" β
After that, he brushed his sleeves and walked out of the camp tent, just in time to meet Li Dao who had fled back, and scolded angrily: "Li Dao! It's a shame that you're still the first general of our family, look at you, what do you look like! β
Li Dao knew that it was too embarrassing and unbearable, so he had to bow down and bow down, Dong Zhuo was angry and kicked Li Dao away: "Don't get in the way!" β
He strode forward a few steps and pointed up the 10,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters: "All the soldiers listen to the order, follow me to attack!" β
"Whoa!"
Dong Zhuo's base camp covers a wide area, and between the front and rear military camps, there are many obstacles such as horses and antlers.
Dong Zhuo personally led the army to attack, and before he left the base camp, Lu Bu's army had already arrived, and Dong Zhuo shouted: "Shoot the enemy's position!" β
Whoosh!
The arrow feathers flew in, and Lu Bu knew that Dong Zhuojun was not ready, so he wanted to shoot his position in order to reorganize the military formation.
That being the case, how could he possibly give the enemy time?
So, Lu Bu roared loudly: "Sons! β
"The one wearing the golden helmet in front is Dong Zhuo himself!"
"Whoever can catch him, a thousand gold!"
Under the heavy reward, there will be warriors!
Lu Bujun rushed into Dong Zhuo's base camp one by one, like wild dogs that had made a spring.
The arrows flying above his head couldn't stop Lu Bujun's madness at all, what kind of virtue a general was, and the same was true for the soldiers he led.
The enemy army was surging, and the arrow feathers couldn't stop their offensive at all, Dong Zhuo was about to pee, so he was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and fled directly.
The general of the main army suddenly took the lead in escaping, what else could the soldiers under him do?
One by one, they also followed Dong Zhuo and retreated, and a large number of obstacles were set up between the front and rear military camps, and Dong Zhuo's army was all blocked together.
This scene is comparable to the highway traffic jam on the National Day.
Dong Zhuojun collapsed without a fight, and Lu Bu laughed: "What a waste!" β
"The army of the state headquarters has been defeated in successive battles, just because Dong Zhuo is too rubbish!"
He quickly broke into Dong Zhuo's army formation, slashing and killing soldiers everywhere, and the cavalry behind him swarmed up, constantly squeezing Dong Zhuo's army formation.
There was the advance of Lu Bu's army in the front, and the squeeze of Dong Zhuo's headquarters in the back.
Forward and backward strikes!
In the end, some soldiers couldn't stand it and took the lead in surrendering: "I surrender!" β
"You dare!"
Dong Zhuo slashed over with a knife and hacked to death the soldiers who took the lead in surrendering, wanting to stabilize the morale of the army, but his move accelerated the collapse of the state army.
A large number of soldiers dropped their weapons, held their heads in their hands, and fell to their knees.
Lu Bu shouted: "Surrender and don't kill!" β
"If you don't surrender, Ling Chi will be executed and your body will be exposed for three days!"
When the soldiers heard this, they were very obedient, and those who did not surrender not only had to cut thousands of knives on their bodies, but also hung their bodies on the city wall for three days.
The whipping corpse is not so ruthless.
Dong Zhuojun's morale immediately plummeted, and Dong Zhuo couldn't stop it!
At the same time, at the river channel.
The suspicious soldiers left by Lu Bu really aroused the suspicion of Hua Xiong and other 4 generals, Guo Yan looked at the back of the river, and the forest seemed to be full of human figures, and the flags were fluttering, looming.
But the river was quiet, and there was no movement at all.
Zhang Ji was shocked, took a few steps forward, and asked Guo Yan: "What should we do next?" β
Guo Yan frowned tightly, carefully checked the movement in the forest, but couldn't see any tricks, so he had to ask Hua Xiong: "Why don't we send hundreds of people to cross the river and test the situation of the river?" β
"Okay, just do as you say."
Hundreds of death squads were selected, and they slowly approached the front of the river, and there was no sound in the woods.
The death squad continued to move forward and began to cross the river, the river was so deep that it did not reach the waist of the people, and the originally turbulent river suddenly became more manic, and dozens of people were unstable under their feet, and they were actually swept into the river and washed away.
The rest of the men managed to cross the river without noticing any enemy troops, and the flags roaming around the woods were suddenly retracted, and the looming figures were retreating.
Hua Xiong saw it clearly, and shouted: "In the past, there was only one suspicious soldier in the river, but now that the suspicious soldier has run away, our army should speed up and rush across the river and go to support Lord Mushou!" β
"Good!"
"Let's go!"
4 will take the lead and quickly approach the river and begin to cross the river, they have just crossed half of the river, and when they are deep into the deepest position in the middle of the river, there is a bang on both sides!
The shouts of killing came from all directions, and Guo Yan was shocked: "It's not good! β
"We've been ambushed!"
2,000 infantry killed from the front and rear ends of the river, cutting off the military formation of 4 generals, and they had to fight separately.
Hua Xiong found in the battle that the infantry attacking them were actually wearing the armor of the army of the state headquarters!
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"It's all your own people!"
Hua Xiong cut down one person and shouted: "You are all Li Wei's troops!" What about Li Dao and others? Where did he go?! β
The infantry glanced at each other, and the several soldier commanders who took the lead were Lu Bu's cronies in the ranks, and they lied: "We are General Li's subordinates, and General Li was hacked to death by Lu Bu's halberd!" β
"What?"
"Impossible!"
Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were all surprised, Li Dao was the first general under Dong Zhuo's account, and Hua Xiong was only in the third position.
Guo Yan shouted: "Stop, you put away your blades and go to the base camp with us." β
He was about to rein in his horse, but his leg was cut off by a soldier commander!
The war horse neighed, Guo Yan didn't hold the reins, and was thrown directly to the ground, and he was just about to get up from the ground, but he was hacked to death with a knife and chopped into meat puree.
"You guys!"
Hua Xiong was furious: "Kill them for me!" β
"Kill them all!"
The two sides fought again, and the cavalry had lost its superiority in the terrain of rivers and forests, and it was impossible to compete with the infantry.
The battle was a bloody river, and the water in the river was dyed red, and the river of blood continued to flow downstream.
Hua Xiong had just hacked a person to death, and the sound of shouting and killing came from behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Bu leading the army to kill him.
"Lu Bu!"
"You still dare to come!"
Hua Xiong was furious, galloped on his horse, brandished the big knife in his hand, and met Lu Bu.
Lu Bu sneered: "Death miscellaneous!" β
The two generals struck a blow, and the powerful power from Lu Bu's arm shocked Hua Xiong almost couldn't hold the big knife, the tiger's mouth was shattered by the huge force, and his wrists were full of blood.
"You!"
Hua Xiong was just about to turn the horse's head, but he was killed by Lu Bu and died on the ground with a halberd.
"General Hua is dead!"
"General Hua is dead!"
Hua Xiong was killed by Lu Bu in 2 rounds, and the state army was in chaos, the army's morale collapsed, Lu Bu led the army to kill here, he found Fan Chou, and then cut off his head with a halberd.
He used the tip of his halberd to pick up the head of Fan Chou's dead man, raised it high, and heralded it to the army.
Lu Bu's entire army was shouting: "Surrender or kill!" β
The remaining two people, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, saw that the situation was not good, and Lu Bu rushed over from the base camp, so it is conceivable what happened to Dong Zhuo.
They had to quickly gather a group of remnants and retreat.
In this battle, Lu Bu forced Li Dao back with a halberd, captured Dong Zhuo, killed Hua Xiong and Fan Chou, and repelled Guo Yan and Zhang Ji.
The record is unmatched, and the power is in Liangzhou!
When Ma Chaojun finally arrived, the war had already ended, and Ma Chao looked at Dong Zhuo who was kneeling on the ground, and his face twitched.
Lu Bu is a pit goods, Dong Zhuo is my grandfather-in-law, and our army is nominally all under the jurisdiction of Dong Zhuo, and you suddenly fought and caught Dong Zhuo.
What do you tell me to do?
No way, Jia Xu was not around, Ma Chao had to do it himself, untie Dong Zhuo, and half-kneel on the ground: "Lord Shepherd, I have no way to govern the army!" β
"Please, Lord Shepherd, reprimand!"
Dong Zhuo hated it, and he couldn't wait to kill Ma Chao with one sword, especially that Lu Bu!
But he would, even if he hated so much that his blood was surging and his face was flushed, he didn't dare to punish Ma Chao, because he was now Ma Chao's prisoner, if he dared to touch a single hair of Ma Chao, he would be chopped into meat paste immediately!
Not only did he not dare to punish Ma Chao, but he also had to say good words, Li Ru, who was kneeling on the side, knew what Dong Zhuo was thinking in his heart, and immediately spoke, saying: "General Fenwei doesn't have to be like this, our army was originally besieged by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, but the general led the army to come and save us." β
"Now, we really shouldn't compete with General Fenwei for prisoners, we are willing to hand over all the prisoners, and go to the court to crown the generals and officers."
Li Ru looked at the eyes of Ma Chao and Dong Zhuo, and asked cautiously, "I don't know, what does the general think?" β
Li Ru was already enough to bend his knees, and Ma Chao couldn't really kill Dong Zhuo, so he took advantage of the situation to go downhill and said, "Thank you for your trust!" β
He waved his big hand: "Come on, quickly help Dong Mushou and Li Junshi." β
In order to apologize, Ma Chao set up a grand feast in Longxian County, and punished himself with several glasses of wine.
After all, in this era, there is no distillation technology yet.
During the banquet, Dong Zhuo was silent, and Ma Chao knew that after a while, the two sides would tear their faces.
After the feast, Ma Chao asked Dong Zhuo and Li Ru to leave and called Lu Bu to come: "Okay, you Lu Fengxian, what should I do if you do this?" β
Lu Bu was not convinced: "Since the general ordered me to recruit the rebels, I must do it, Dong Zhuo actually dares to come and rob people, that is looking for death!" β
Ma Chao was speechless, Lu Bu is a tendon, should he be said to be simple-minded, or is he crazy about martial arts?
Shaking his head, Ma Chao said, "You will go to Wuyuan County tomorrow and garrison with Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, and Pang De." β
"When my class teacher returns to the court, I will ask for an additional title for you, go ahead."
When Lu Bu heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately retired.
Ma Chao had an abacus in his heart, no wonder Lu Bu was like this, the remnants of the rebels in Hanyang County were 20,000 people!
This is not counting the number of remnants of the rebels who defeated Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou before, and these prisoners, because Ma Chao rushed to save Huangfu Song, were all surrendered by Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, Lu Bu stormed the base camp of Dong Zhuo's army this time, not only taking all the rebel prisoners in Hanyang County, but also eating the prisoners who swallowed Dong Zhuo.
The harvest is huge, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, and the rebel prisoners of the kingdom are as many as 40,000 in total!
Moreover, 30,000 people are cavalry!
It is also for this reason that Ma Chao did not punish Lu Bu, on the contrary, he asked the court for a title for him.
And Dong Zhuo, on his side, must have been very dissatisfied with Ma Chao's refusal to punish Lu Bu.
But today, Ma Chao is no longer afraid of Dong Zhuo.
