Chapter 211: Good Actor Chen Arrives
Gao Shun secretly instructed Zhang He, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici to take action immediately when the situation was critical, especially Tai Shici's archery skills were the best.
Lu Bu was happy to fight, and he didn't worry about this, he just used his horse lance to the fullest, it was rare to be able to meet such a strong opponent as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, looking at the entire Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, he and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already top generals.
I saw Lu Bu block the big knife on the left and the snake spear on the right, turn around, and have to block the spear.
Chen Zhi's shot made everyone's eyes shine, his marksmanship is not inferior to Guan and Zhang Ergenerals, it seems that Chen Zhi of the Qingzhou Army has become famous in recent years, not in vain!
His addition also brought some threats to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was no longer as calm as he was just now, his smile was put away, and he was engrossed.
Lu Bu fought alone against the three generals, Chitu and the master had the same heart, but they helped a lot, and after fighting for another twenty rounds, they finally got a little out of breath, but Guan Yu and the three of them were also out of breath.
Lu Bu had just swung the stab of Zhang Fei's snake spear with his horse lance, and Chen Zhi's spear reached out again, but this time, Lu Bu could see clearly, and Chen Zhi blinked his left eye at himself.
Hehe, sure enough, he came to help, Lu Bu didn't make a sound, and the horse lance smashed into Chen Zhi's spear, using the same strength as before.
However, this time Chen Zhi was a little overwhelmed, and the war horse under his crotch retreated backwards, just blocking Guan Yu's forward route.
At this moment, it happened to disrupt the rhythm of the rotation of the three people, and when Lu Bu saw the situation, the horse lance immediately stabbed at Zhang Fei, who had just withdrawn the snake spear and waited for Guan Yu's blow, and then made a move.
This stabbing Lu Bu used all his strength, the horse lance stretched to the extreme, Zhang Fei saw that the horse lance suddenly stabbed at him again, fast and ruthless, and hurriedly used the snake spear to block the horse lance.
The horse lance, which Lu Bu didn't want to stab with all his might, swung a slight arc to the upper right, dodging the snake spear, and then smashed into Zhang Fei's body.
Although he was separated by heavy armor, how could Lu Bu's full force blow be so easy to bear? Zhang Fei, who smashed it, spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Thanks to Lu Bu's blow, he forcibly changed the line, changed from a thorn to an upward stroke, and smashed it down again, losing a lot of strength.
How dare the injured Zhang Fei fight again, he fled with his horse, Lu Bu wanted to chase, Chen Zhi stopped Lu Bu with a gun, and Guan Yu came with a knife to attack.
Lu Bu first smashed Chen Zhi with a horse lance, Chen Zhi raised his gun and hit him hard, and then he also vomited blood, turned around and ran.
However, he vomited this mouthful of blood because he bit the tip of his tongue himself, and Lu Bu only used five points of strength to smash him.
smashed back Chen Dao, Lu Bu was right on Guan Yu, the three of them couldn't beat Lu Bu, how could Guan Yu win alone?
Guan Yu fought with Lu Bu for two or three rounds, and when he saw the opportunity, Guan Yu also fled to the side, but he did not flee directly back to his own position.
Lu Bu sneered, of course he knew what Guan Yu had in mind, it was nothing more than a drag knife plan.
Lu Bu pretended to chase behind, Guan Yu really quietly kept looking back, Lu Bu chased a few steps, hung the horse lance on the saddle, picked up the sun-chasing bow, and mounted three feather arrows.
Of course, these feather arrows are not the original magic arrows, but the special feather arrows specially created by Guan Lao Tie for Lu Bu, how can ordinary arrows withstand the power of a ten-stone strong bow?
Lu Bu hated this Guan Yu the most shamelessly, but he used three arrows in a row, bent on taking Guan Yu's life!
Guan Yu really planned to use the dragging knife to win in defeat, but suddenly found that Lu Bu was no longer chasing, and turned around sharply just in time to see Lu Bu bending his bow and shooting arrows.
Lu Bu's archery skills are famous all over the world, how dare Guan Yu underestimate it, I saw Lu Bu shoot three arrows in a row, whistling, full of strong wind!
Guan Yu is worthy of being a general of ten thousand enemies, and when he faced the threat of death, he also burst out with all his energy.
Swinging with his broadsword, he knocked out the first two arrows, and then performed a similar action of hiding in stirrups, of course, his war horse did not have stirrups, so it was more difficult to do.
The third arrow only hit Guan Yu's mount, and the war horse suffered pain, rolled on its side, and threw Guan Yu far away.
Lu Bu was about to step forward and end Guan Yu's life, but he saw Chen Zhi, who had escaped before, running in front of Guan Yu, pulling Guan Yu onto his war horse, and the two rode together and fled to the main formation.
Seeing this, Lu Bu didn't chase after him, but secretly praised this Chen Zhi for being a good actor and acting in a good play.
Yuan Shu saw that the three generals besieged Lu Bu alone, but the final result was that all three of them were wounded, so they could only beat the drums and order the whole army to advance, and the 60,000 army shouted forward.
On the side of the Central Army, Gao Shun also Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Lu Bu quickly retreated into the military formation.
The units of the Central Army began to withdraw to the city in accordance with the alternate cover formation.
The Kwantung coalition army had just chased to a distance of 100 zhang, and there was an overwhelming rain of arrows on the opposite side.
The hoplites in the front row could only stop on the spot, and when they raised their big shields to reach the **** army, they took the opportunity to distance themselves and slowly retreated to Guanzhong.
This time, the heads-up battle ended with a complete victory for the Central Army, and the Central Army naturally had high morale and a strong atmosphere of seeking war.
On the contrary, after the Kwantung Coalition besieged LĂź Bu alone with three generals, but none of them could win, their morale plummeted, and everyone was demoralized.
The princes took counsel and rested for a few days before proceeding to attack the city, and the siege equipment had not yet been completed.
On the side of the Central Army, when they returned to Guanzhong, they immediately convened a meeting attended by all officers at and above the regiment commanderhood.
At the meeting, Lu Bu first made a pre-war mobilization, and then divided the defense areas of various departments, and decided that all cavalry divisions would not participate in the defensive operations of Tiger Pass.
The 2nd Cavalry Division went to Bingzhou to replace Xu Rong's 1st Division.
The Seventh Cavalry Division has also set off for Wuguan, replacing Yu Ban's Seventh Division here, and more infantry divisions are still needed for defensive battles.
Fortunately, the first and seventh divisions were equipped with horses, and they had already been on the road in advance, and the post roads from Henan to Bingzhou and Henan to Hongnong had been overhauled, and the marching speed was still very fast.
At this stage, the Rong 1st Division is responsible for the North Road, the 1st Guard Division is temporarily responsible for the defense of the Middle Road, and the 4th Division is responsible for the South Road.
Each defense area is equipped with 20,000 Tuntian troops and 20,000 garrison brigades or reserve brigades, and Lu Bu is recruiting more Tuntian troops, reserve brigades, and garrison brigades to come to Hujiao Pass.
The Special Operations Brigade, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the Engineer Brigade temporarily served as reserves, and Lu Bu ordered the Engineer Brigade to quickly install the city defense equipment brought by Ma Jun on the city wall and open space to prepare for defensive operations.
Ma Jun's early transport of the city's defense equipment was loaded with hundreds of carts, and after unloading the trucks, the large wooden boxes everywhere were arranged to be heavily defended, with a high degree of secrecy.
After Lu Bu gave the order to assemble, several disciples of Ma Jun led the engineer brigade to start unpacking and assembling according to the installation flow chart prepared in advance.
When the large wooden box was opened, it contained a lot of wood of various lengths and a lot of huge gears.
Thankfully, there are installation drawings, and the gears and timber are numbered and marked.
These things were actually made by Lu Bu after thinking about it, with a unified standard size and installation process, plus the steps to achieve the calculation, as well as those numbers and logos.
Disassembly and assembly are much faster, and they can be reused again and again, reducing the chance of errors.
For this alone, the Central Army far surpassed all the armies of its time.
