Lu Bu danced Fang Tian's halberd, urged the red rabbit gelding, and rushed to the Li clan soldiers first.

"Infantry?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Bu's mouth: "You dare to use 2,000 infantry to meet my and state iron cavalry, and meet me Wenhou Lu Bu - underestimate me too much." ”

Lu Buluo stopped his horse slightly, waiting for the rest of the people to catch up, and took this opportunity to squint his eyes and look at the Li clan soldiers slightly

Discharged formations.

It was a tight circular formation, with 2,000 men and horses huddled in a thick ball, and the soldiers in the front row held a large shield in one hand, and tightly held the hand of their companion holding the shield with the other, and each arm was pulled into a strong shield wall. The second-row soldiers carried long-grown repelling rifles, and the heads of the spears crossed the heads of the first-row soldiers, forming a dense jungle of thorns.

Looking back again, after rejecting the horse pistol, the shaking head and arm hung down, and it was impossible to see what kind of weapon he was holding in his hand. Lu Bu guessed that it must be the long-range strike force of the Li clan's soldiers-archers.

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng had rushed to Lu Bu's side. Hao Meng was still struggling, muttering something to Chen Gong. Lu Bu couldn't wait, and with a wave of his halberd, he led the men and horses to walk diagonally around the formation.

Behind him, Hao Meng let out a long sigh: "Shang Yongwu. In the face of a group of clan soldiers, Lu Wenhou did not dare to attack head-on, and his life was impermanent. ”

Chen Gong explained depressedly: "If Wen Hou had converged earlier. Fire, in the battle of Guanxian can calmly check the enemy, how can we have today's situation! ”

Lu Bu walked around the formation, the formation of 2,000 people was not large, and in a moment, Lu Bu left. After a round trip, I couldn't find a single gap.

The snow was still falling, and pieces of snowflakes were falling, splashing on the faces of the Li shield soldiers, at first, they were still melted by the heat on the soldiers' faces, and gradually, the snow fell bigger and bigger, and the heat on the soldiers' faces could not melt the snowflakes in time, and the heavy snow piled up on the soldiers' bodies, as if they were wearing a layer of white armor for the soldiers. The soldiers of the Li clan still maintained a solemn silence, and there seemed to be a faint contempt in that silence.

The tall red rabbit horse galloped across the snow, and the horse's hooves turned over the dirt. The colored earth left strings of black hoof prints. Lu Bu, who was walking around the formation, couldn't bear it, turned over and took a bow and arrows, and urged the war horse to rush into the range, the arrows were like meteors, passing through the gaps in the shield wall, and hitting a shield soldier.

After a miserable cry, blood flew up, and the shield soldier. Shook his body. The surrounding partners tightened their hands, and the shield fell slightly, and it was pulled up again, and the shield wall was restored to firmness.

The soldiers let out a cheer, took off their bows and arrows, and the prancing horses rushed close to the formation formed by the soldiers of the Li clan, and attacked the shield array from a distance with bows and arrows.

"Shoot back!" , a deep voice in the shield array decisively ordered.

The iron cavalry of Bingzhou is strong in archery, and the bow and arrow are high, but the tight protection of the shield saves a little disadvantage for the Li clan soldiers. In the continuous confrontation, the soldiers of the state were shocked to find that the range of the Li clan's soldiers far exceeded theirs. Before they could enter the range of their bows and arrows, the blows of the Li clan soldiers had already come to their side.

"Qingzhou Iron Bow?!"

As early as when Luoyang and Liu Bei were in a state of hostility, Lu Bu had learned the power of the Qingzhou iron bow, and he had long thought about this powerful bow, but unfortunately Liu Bei controlled it tightly. Even if he fled Chang'an and came to the border of the Chinese mainland, although he was close to Qingzhou, it was still difficult to find a cheap source of goods - the merchants of Qingzhou had them on hand, but they did not sell them to him. Rob it, the caravan is well guarded, and the hard robbery will not only cause too much loss, but also take the risk of offending Liu Bei.

The most important thing is that the biggest businessman in Qingzhou is Liu Bei, in case he grabs Liu Bei's head, and offends the madman who even dares to beat the forbidden army for a few bows, the lonely and poor Lu Bu can't even think about it.

In the Cao Cao territory, due to the existence of mutual market trade agreements, Qingzhou merchants dared to boldly buy and sell Qingzhou's non-controlled war equipment to local clan forces. This is also the reason why the soldiers of the Li clan were able to obtain the Qingzhou Iron Bow.

The powerful Qingzhou Iron Bow gradually turned the tide of battle, and the shield soldiers who were continuously attacked still maintained a tight formation, even if the dead shield soldiers were pulled by their companions, they also maintained their bodies. Seeing that the situation was getting unfavorable, Lu Bu roared, urged the horse to rush closer to the shield array, pushed away the horse rejection gun, and with a lift of the horse's reins, the red rabbit horse raised its huge horse hooves and kicked it hard against the shield wall.

With a loud bang, the shield wall shook and crumbled.

In the array, the voice that gave the order sounded again: "Resist the horse and the gun is on the top; Bow and arrow, concentrated shooting; Platoon assassination, set up, set him up. ”

Lu Bu looked up, and a flagpole was erected in the shield array at some point, and on the flag, a thin and slender young man was giving orders.

"Li Jin?" Lu Bu was furious, urged the war horse, ran diagonally along the shield array, rushed left and right, trying to swing his feet, kill into the formation, and cut the hateful man under the horse.

The soldiers roared and began a surprise attack next to their commander, and in an instant, the iron slammed, the flesh and blood splashed, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The cavalry in the front row were unable to retract their horses and collide with the repulsors, and the powerful impact caused the spears to penetrate their bodies. The people in the back row couldn't see the situation in front clearly, and they were still struggling to rush, but they either stumbled into each other and broke their necks; Or hit the rejecting rifle again, and the bloody body hung on the spear, struggling and screaming......

The entire battlefield suddenly formed a melee pattern, but Li Jin, who was commanding the battle on the flag fight, had a keen eye, and the big bow in his hand locked on Lu Bu's black back that was drilling around.

The real soldiers are very different from the ranks of the villagers, and for the army of farmers, no matter how rigorously trained, when the terrible war really comes, the state of mind of the people will be completely different.

saw the comrades-in-arms in front of and behind him, saw the former neighbors, and saw the villagers and elders in the same village, one by one falling in a pool of blood and dying under the hooves of horses; Hearing the rumbling drums of war, the bloodthirsty cries of the killers, the terrible screams around them, and especially the sharp howls of throwing guns, crossbows, and bows and arrows that seemed to never cease, the excitement of the pre-battle began to be replaced by ominous emotions. Fear, failure, helplessness, despair, and waves of negativity and anxiety poured out from the depths of my heart, shook in my chest, and rushed straight to my head!

To command the peasant soldiers in battle, it is necessary to grasp the rhythm of the war, give them a strong stimulus when their sense of depression arises, and let them see the hope of victory. Lu Bu is their best stimulant, and shooting Lu Bu makes them feel a shock and regain their fighting spirit. This is also the reason why Li Jin climbed the flag fight.

Li Jin silently observed the situation of the clan soldiers' battle, and his lips squirmed slightly: "Wait, wait, hold on for a while, hold on for a while." ”

Under the repeated onslaught of the state soldiers, the shield array began to loosen......

"It's now." , Li Jin picked up the bow and shot an arrow at Lu Bu's figure. At this time, it happened that a clan soldier raised a horse rejection gun and stabbed at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu bent down slightly, stretched out his halberd, and picked up the hand of the clan soldier holding the gun. The arrow swept past Lu Bu's ear with a whizz and pierced the red rabbit horse.

The red rabbit horse neighed, and Lu Bu hid in a stirrup, left the saddle, curled up with one foot in the stirrup and hid on the left side of the horse, dodging a few spears that came here.

Li Jin sighed slightly, blinked, and immediately roared: "Down, down, I shot down Lu Bu." ”

The tsunami-like shout of the mountains sounded, just covering up Lu Bu's faint angry snort, and the people facing Lu Bu looked blankly at Qidou, while the rest of the clan soldiers were in high spirits and fought hard to assassinate them.

"Scatter the shield array, attack on all fronts", Li Jin issued an order at the right time. Just as the shield wall collapsed at this time, the unknown clan soldiers cheered and rushed towards the Bingzhou cavalry, and the two sides were strangled together.

The shield walls scattered, and the dead shield soldiers lost their support, and immediately lay down on the battlefield. The living shield soldiers approached the state cavalry with huge shields, and the covering soldiers used their horse repellents to set up their horses. Several shield soldiers surrounded the extremely brave Lu Bu, and the spearmen assassinated back and forth, ignoring Lu Bu's hoarse shout - "I'm Lu Bu." ”

When Lu Bu let out his last shout, he fell from his horse, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hao Meng who had not yet entered the battlefield in the distance, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. At that moment, time seemed to be slowed down several times, and the journey of Lu Bu, a lone wolf in the wilderness, passed by one scene after another in front of him. In a trance, Lu Bu saw Hao Meng shouting at Chen Gong, and the sound actually penetrated the sound of Chong Heavy Fighting and penetrated into Lu Bu's ears.

The voice was clearly only two words - "Hurry up." ”

The fate of history has not changed, and Li Jin, the only person in the normal history of the Three Kingdoms who defeated Lu Bu in a frontal battle, completed the blow of his fate. It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Bu to Chengshi (now Juye West, Shandong) was broken by Li Jin, a large surname in (Juye) County. ”

The trajectory of history took a slight turn here, Li Jin not only defeated Lu Bu, he also killed Lu Bu.

In normal history, Li Jin, as the last branch of the Li clan, in order not to affect the cultivation and support of the patriarch Li Dian's plan, in the following years, he lived incognito and lived in seclusion.

Li Dian himself is very talented, and for this reason, Cao Cao, who has always been a meritocracy, also acquiesced to the practices of the Li clan, and a generation of famous generals disappeared into the long river of history.

At this moment, history has changed, can Li Jin get rid of his fate?

Jing Zhaoyin, the emperor's chariot and horse have been staying in Huayin for twenty days, and Huangfu Song is anxious - now he has missed the time agreed with Liu Beijun for nine days, and I don't know if Zhou Yu is still willing to wait.

At first, the emperor's carriage entered Huayin, and the entourage was escorted by the later general Yang Ding (so Dong Zhuo's general), Xingyi general Yang Feng (originally Bai Boshuai of the Yellow Turban Army, and later betrayed Bai Bo to Li Dao, and later betrayed Li Dao again), so Niu Fu's general and Anji general Dong Cheng.

When Duan Xuan, the general of Ningji stationed in Huayin, saw the arrival of the emperor's chariot, he immediately provided the emperor with chariots, horses and imperial clothing, and asked the emperor and ministers to rest in his camp. Yang Ding had a personal enmity with Duan Xuan, so he accused Duan Xuan of wanting to rebel, waved his army to attack Duan Xuan's camp, and attacked for more than ten days in a row, so that the carriage and horses could not travel eastward, and missed the agreement with Liu Beijun. led to Zhou Yu categorically ordering the withdrawal of troops.

In fact, Huayin and Tongguan are less than 30 miles, the carriages and horses travel for two days, and the sentinel can go back and forth a day, but Yang Ding besieged Duan Xuan Camp, and the ministers of the village did not dare to go out of the camp to contact Liu Beijun, so Huangfu Song did not know the news of Zhou Yu's withdrawal. And Zhou Yu was surrounded by enemies, and in the absence of backup, he was unwilling to cross Tongguan to find out the news, and the two sides were close at hand, but they missed it.

Yang Ding attacked Duan Xuan's camp for several days, and the arrows were shot into the emperor's curtain, and the ministers suffered countless casualties, and everyone was terrified, but fortunately, Duan Xuan provided imperial food, supported hundreds of officials, and did not slack off, so that the hundred officials who had just come out of the wolf's mouth had a little peace of mind.

The request of the emperor and the ministers was so simple that the prestige of the Han court was gone.

Today, somehow, Yang Dingjun actually stopped attacking, and Huangfu Song wandered outside the emperor's curtain uncertainly, discussing with several familiar officials how to contact Zhou Yu.

"Urgent!" A Duan Xuan ran close in a panic and bowed: "General Duan asked me to report that Li Wei and Guo Yan are coming from the west with troops and are attacking Yang Ding's army. ”

"Not good", Huangfu Song gasped: "This must be Li Dao and Guo Yan regretting letting the Son of Heaven return to the east, so they want to rob the emperor to the west again." Yang Ding was originally the general of the escort, Li Dao and Guo Yan had just arrived, and they did not know the situation, but they saw Yang Ding stationed on the west side of our army, so they launched an attack. The matter is urgent, Duan Xuan alone will definitely not be able to stop Li Wei and Guo Yan from attacking together. Hurry up and urge the Son of Heaven to get up, and when Li Dao, Guo Yan and Yang Ding are fighting, we will drive Xingtong Pass and recruit Liu Xuande to resist Li Guo. ”

Qingzhou Guanghuan City, Liu Bei just got the news of Zhou Yu's retreat, he pondered for a long time, and sighed to Frustrated Shou and others: "That's it, I originally let Zhou Gongjin send troops to lead away Zhang Yang, and by the way, deter Cao Cao, don't let him hinder our migration of the people of Yanzhou." Now it seems that this is a battle that outweighs the losses, Zhang Yang died, and our army wasted its military strength and returned empty-handed. Gong Jin reported me with a fait accompli, when did he also have the courage to do so. ”

Frustratedly said: "From a strategic point of view, Zhou Gongjin's withdrawal is very timely, the movements of the remnants of the Hanoi Army are unknown, the movements of the Chang'an Army in the west are unknown, Zhang Ji is still eyeing the tiger, Gongjin can retreat with his whole body, and he can be regarded as worthy of the trust of the lord." ”

Tian Feng shook his head and added: "It should be said that the purpose of our army to send troops to Tongguan has been achieved, Cao Cao agreed to implement the contract law, Lu Bu has been driven away, Zhang Yang died and left Hanoi County, the people north of Puyang in Yanzhou have migrated empty, and Zhou Yu has arrived in the south of Puyang, just sweeping the people in the south of Puyang. The only regret is that Zhou Yu did not hunt back an emperor this time. ”

Liu Bei stopped in a hurry: "Hugh is nonsense, the Son of Heaven is hunted by his subordinates at will, hunting, this word is used very badly." ”

Tian Feng smiled silently.

Tian Chou held Zhou Yu's battle report and looked at it over and over, this move attracted Liu Bei's attention, leaned over, Liu Bei asked, "Zitai, what do you think?" ”

Tian Chou frowned and replied: "It stands to reason that Zhou Yu attacked Tongguan secretly, and then the garrison rested, and there was no major battle. Why did he report such a large amount of loss to the crossbow. Linked to his old master, Sun Ce, who recently asked us to open up the control of crossbows, this loss can't help but make people suspicious? ”

The illegal sale of controlled ordnance is a crime of killing heads in Qingzhou, and Tian Chou's accusation is not unserious. When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately jumped up, swept down all the objects on the table with a wave of his arm, and shouted: "Investigate thoroughly!" ”
