Chapter 4 Section 18 Misery

Lu Bu carried the blood-dripping halberd and looked coldly at Liu Bei, who was brandishing a big axe and sprinting up.

The halberd crossed an arc, and there seemed to be a lightning bolt left in the air, and then, with a metallic crisp sound, the halberd axe was intertwined, and the short hook behind the axe was put into the crescent moon of the halberd.

Liu Bei was secretly happy in his heart, and he did not have the slightest intention of relaxing the halberd in his hand, urging the horse to gallop in the hope of dragging Lu Bu off the horse.

Lu Bu moved, and the huge impact of the horse made him unable to sit on the horse's back, so he had no choice but to urge the horse to follow Liu Bei, using all his strength, trying to get the halberd in his hand out of the entanglement.

The force from the halberd flickered softly and hard, and the direction of the force was ever-changing, Liu Bei took out the halberd and struggled to pull Lu Bu's halberd head in front of him - enough, feeling that he could no longer master the halberd, Liu Bei took off his hand and let go of the halberd, suddenly turned the horse's head, pulled out the saber, faced the wind, with full of anger, the saber bent and flashed in the air, and slashed at the head of the red rabbit horse.

Lu Bu dialed his horse, flashed Liu Bei's blow, shook his hand and shook the halberd, trying to shake off the halberd.

Liu Bei looked up at the place where Guan Lu was fighting, and several soldiers of the First Legion had already stepped forward to separate the soldiers of the other party and took Guan Hai off the battlefield.

Looking around, without the arrogance of Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers, under the continuous shouting of the lieutenant, the soldiers of the Chinese army's main formation, who were scattered by the cavalry, gradually gathered together, and gathered more and more. The formation was reorganized - Once the Qingzhou soldiers reorganized the formation, the cavalry trapped in the military formation was no longer to be afraid of the lack of impact power.

Tightening the arm shield in his hand, Liu Bei determined the purpose: to entangle Lu Bu and let him have no time to command.

Urging the horses, Liu Bei began to jog down, and at the same time, waving the saber in his hand, looking for Lu Bu's flaws.

On the Chitu horse, Lu Bu bent down and borrowed the horse's head to cover half of his body, and the other half of his body was also under the cover of the halberd in his hand.

Liu Bei smiled coldly: Won't I start by borrowing the horse's head to cover me? My target is not you Lu Bu, but the Red Rabbit Horse. Since you set a precedent, I will kill your red rabbit horse, without the red rabbit horse, you will become a lame duck, trapped in my military formation, without Lu Bu with the help of horses, I will let you die an ugly death.

Muttering in his heart, Liu Bei urged the horse to rush towards Lu Bu, and the cold and shining saber quickly slashed towards the red rabbit horse.

Lu Bu was startled, and shook his hand to dance the halberd, but unfortunately, the halberd still had a halberd on it, and this dance was extraordinary.

"Liu Bei, you actually attacked my horse? This is the best horse in the world, and you attacked my horse, you madman? Lu Bu hurriedly shook his halberd and reprimanded.

"Rules? Scoundrel!", Liu Bei briefly commented on Lu Bu, asking others to abide by the rules, but he broke the rules at will, and had nothing to say about such a scoundrel.

With a halberd, this time you will definitely cut your horse - Liu Bei made up his mind and urged the horse to rush towards Lu Bu again.

Behind him, the thunderous roar was deafening: "Lu Ding Dong Bu, Hugh hurt my eldest brother, Yanren Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are here, Hugh is leaving." ”

Zhang Fei came, Liu Bei was in a mood, tired, panicked, afraid, and all kinds of emotions followed. Lu Bu feels like an unshakable mountain, Liu Bei has created many opportunities for himself by various means, but he still can't move Lu Bu. Butcher Zhang came and happened to take over.

Zhang Fei roared, brandished a spear and rushed towards Lu Bu, Lu Bu tilted his head, pondering Zhang Fei's title, and immediately, Lu Bu was furious - Lu Ding Dong Bu, this does not mean that his biological father's surname is Lu, and the first father's surname is Ding (Ding Yuan), killing Ding Yuan and defecting to his second father-in-law, surnamed Dong, this is scolding him for being a slave with three surnames!

Lu Bu hated others the most in his life that he had a lot of fathers, and Lu Bu shook his hand in anger, and the halberd hanging on the halberd miraculously broke away from the halberd, and the halberd after the relief was like a dragon out of the water, and the angry tiger came out of the mountain, roaring and killing Zhang Fei.

The halberds and spears were staggered, the eight hooves soared, the four arms were churning, and the two fierce men were killed together. During the fight, Zhang Fei couldn't help but roar again and again, screaming strangely.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Bei sorted out the military formation, the whole army began to stabilize, and the balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of the Qingzhou soldiers.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and a general chopped the water and waves and rushed into the Chinese army, Liu Bei looked up, it was Guan Yu on the left wing, and asked urgently: "Yun Chang, how is the situation on the left wing?" How did you get here? ”

Guan Yu was undecided, hurriedly stepped forward to touch Liu Bei, and asked: "Is the eldest brother okay, the former military division (Xu Shu) came with news, saying: Guan Bingyuan fought with Lu Bu, and he was seriously injured and dying, and his brother stepped forward to lead Lu Bu away, the situation is critical, let me come to support quickly." ”

Liu Bei was stunned, no wonder Zhang Fei came so timely. However, the situation on Zhang Fei's right flank gradually stabilized, and on the left flank, under the continuous impact of the cavalry, the front was crumbling, and Guan Yu was leaving, what should I do?

Liu Bei asked urgently: "Yun Chang, what is the situation on the left wing?" ”

Guan Yu happily replied: "Big brother, what does he care about the left wing at this time, my brother is here, Qingzhou is here; Qingzhou is here, even if we lose today, we will pull up another team. ”

"Okay", Liu Bei gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "Yun Chang, come, let's leave Lu Bu here today, even if the left wing is scattered, this battle is worth it." ”

Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought, 30 rounds passed, the two sides had already begun to stab each other, Zhang Fei relied on the excellent armor leaves, simply exchanged injuries for injuries, and fell into a crazy situation.

"The military situation is urgent, the clouds are long, and the battle is resolved quickly." , Liu Bei said, and rushed into the battle circle with a rush of horses.

Guan Yu groaned slightly, ignoring the rules of the competition, and rushed into the battle circle closely.

The red rabbit horse is a head taller than the ordinary horse, and when it competes with Guan Hai, Lu Bu occupies a condescending position, so that Guan Hai only has the power to parry. However, the horses ridden by Liu Guanzhang and the others were also tall horses similar to red rabbit horses, and Lu Bu no longer had a height advantage. And the three fierce men who fought with him were all contemporary leaders, especially Liu Bei, who turned around to deal with the red rabbit horse, and looked like he had a deep hatred for him. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu fell into the dilemma of covering left and right.

Under the protection of the two brothers, Liu Bei beheaded without scruples, cut off his neck, cut off the horse's hooves, cut his mood was comfortable, his heart was full of joy, and his eyebrows were smiling - there is no horse, see how you Lu Bu climbed out of my military formation.

Lu Bu was flustered and irritable, not only to take care of the two heavy weapons above, but also to beware of and block Liu Bei's sneak attack on the horse below, and Liu Bei insisted on missing a blow and drifting for thousands of miles, without waiting for Lu Bu to shoot back, Liu Bei's horse had flashed in front of him, and this way of playing made Lu Bu unbearable.

With a strange scream, taking the opportunity of Liu Bei to run away before he raided him, Lu Bu swung Zhang Fei's spear and Guan Yu's long knife, urging the horse to follow Liu Bei. Immediately, Liu Bei heard the horse's hooves behind him, raised his arm shield with one hand, twisted his body and slashed at Lu Bu.

can't be stopped, as soon as it is delayed, the two people behind will surround it again, and it will be difficult to fight out of the encirclement. In an instant, Lu Bu made a decision, and his body lay down on the horse with the knife momentum. It's not good, Liu Bei's knife sank, and Lu Bu was stabbed in the thigh, but this was the case, Liu Beishang dragged the knife back disgustingly. "My horse," Lu Bu screamed in his heart.

"Finally hit the red rabbit horse", Liu Bei was in a very happy mood, raised his knife, and accompanied his two brothers to pursue Lu Bu.

"Lu Bu is defeated," Liu Bei shouted.

"Lu Ding Dong Bu, Hugh escaped, your grandfather hasn't fought enough." Zhang Fei roared.

"Three slaves, don't go, stay for your life." Guan Yu roared.

Lu Bu was defeated? When the soldiers who were caught in a bitter battle heard this rumor, their minds suddenly went blank. I wanted to believe this news, but unfortunately, Lu Bu's bloodied figure immediately appeared in front of everyone, and behind him, three evil men chased after him like wolves, and the weapons in their hands were dripping with blood.

Is that Lu Bu's blood? Without waiting for the Bingzhou soldiers to come to their senses, the Qingzhou soldiers let out a cheer that the sky was shattering: "Wan Sheng!" Wan Sheng".

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei pursued to the Tiger Prison Pass, closed the rolling wood and thunder stones like rain, and the three of them stopped their troops.

Lu Bu fled in a hurry, and even the trapped camp was lost outside the pass, the gate was closed, outside the tiger prison, and the soldiers who had not had time to escape surrendered, and the dead died, and the lone camp did not give in, and the Qingzhou soldiers could not hold on.

The newly injured general Guan Hai was dying, Liu Bei viciously rushed into the battlefield, and several soldiers flew away in a row, Liu Bei roared viciously: "In the battle array, that three-surnamed slave actually left his soldiers and fled, such a shameless person, is it worth your life?" Killing his father for glory, is such a master worthy of service?

Your new master is the three-surnamed slave, and the old master is Ding Yuan. Lu Bu killed him and occupied his land, have you forgotten the old master?

Give you half a pillar of incense, and if you don't surrender, you will die. A bunch of ungrateful guys who don't know what to do? Archers, bows and crossbows are ready, and when the hour comes, those who do not surrender will be killed. ”

After a while, a person who looked like a general walked out of the queue and whispered, "I am willing to surrender." ”

A crushing victory, a crushing victory, Liu Bei, who underestimated the impact of the cavalry, sat in front of the bed in distress, taking stock of his losses: when the cavalry rushed into the formation, the archers were preparing to shoot, and then, these unprotected archers were slaughtered by the tiger-wolf cavalry, and suffered heavy casualties.

In addition, the cavalry assault split the formation, and the divided infantry fought separately and suffered huge losses. According to statistics, on the left flank, the 14th Army Corps suffered 8 percent casualties, the Central Army Corps suffered 3,000 ironclad soldiers, and only 500 people were left in the last layer of defense intact, and less than 300 people were able to fight in other defense lines, with losses of more than 7 percent. The situation on the right flank was slightly better, but half of the men were also incapacitated, and the casualty rate of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps was 40%.

This battle is really a victory worth the loss, if there are a few more such battles, the Qingzhou Legion will not exist.

Cavalry, the best type of army to deal with cavalry is cavalry, with infantry against the powerful impact of cavalry, if it is not the opponent's main general fleeing first, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses in this battle.

Lu Bu's powerful impact and erratic direction of attack brought Liu Bei a profound lesson, and the speed of the infantry could never catch up with the footsteps of the cavalry. Blocking can't be blocked, and there is nothing to prevent. If Lu Bu had not fought alone, but had led a team of iron cavalry to carry out this erratic attack, the Qingzhou formation would have collapsed long ago.

"The whole army, enter the Tiger Prison Pass and go down to the village, Yuan Zhi, urge the Fifth Army to speed up the pace, and tell them: If you don't pass the pass tomorrow, you will be dealt with according to military law." Liu Bei gritted his back molars and said viciously: "Yuan Zhi, it seems that we brought the cavalry to fight and made a mistake." Now is it not to mobilize cavalry to the front line and fight again with Lu Bu. ”

Xu Shu pondered for a while and said: "Lord, our army has won a miserable victory, the enemy army has broken its courage, and the cavalry from Qingzhou is not good for the battle situation in Donglai. Since Izumo transferred cavalry, the road is far away, and time cannot catch up. It is better for the lord to report the good news to the leader of the sour jujube alliance, and then use the military talisman engaged in by Qingzhou Bing Cao to adjust the Beihai Kongrong army of sour jujube to help the war. Although Kong Rong is pedantic, this is to serve the great cause of the imperial court, and he will obey it. With the replenishment of the Northern Navy, our army is fighting steadily, and it is not too late to mobilize cavalry. ”

"Okay, that's it. Yuan Zhi, there is one more thing, I promised that all the prisoners would go to Cao Cao, but the generals who trapped the camp would never give it to him, you call the generals who fell into the camp, and I asked. Liu Bei admonished.

After the general of the trapped camp entered the account, he saw Liu Bei holding a soup bowl and washing the wound on Guan Hai's shoulder with alcohol, while comforting Guan Hai softly: "Bear with it, bear with it, it's good if it hurts, and the wound will get better quickly after disinfection." Mom, Zheng Hun's armor is really good, fortunately you wore two layers of armor, otherwise it would have really hung up. Looking back, I will reward Zheng Hun well. ”

The general of the trapped camp, as a lord, wiped the wounds of a house slave, which was unheard of and unseen.

Hearing the footsteps, Liu Bei didn't raise his head and said, "Sign up." ”

The general groaned and signed up: "Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals of the trapping camp, have seen Xuande Gong. ”

It's Zhang Liao, it's really Zhang Liao. The general who fell into the camp was actually Zhang Liao, Liu Bei controlled his trembling hands, took the bandage, and bandaged Guan Hai's wound: "Today, my general is injured, and I have no time to entertain you, follow me in the future and do a good job." ”

Zhang Liao replied loudly: "I am willing to pursue the lord to the death." ”

On the second day, at dawn, the Fifth Army finally joined the Qingzhou soldiers after rushing through the night. Three days later, Kong Rong led the Northern Navy to listen to the order. Liu Bei reorganized the siege equipment and began to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.

At the same time, the news came, Sun Nuran launched an attack according to the agreement, waved his army into Hedong County, and captured Yangren City.

During this period, Cao Cao incorporated the remnants of the Bingzhou soldiers, expanding the number of soldiers from more than 3,000 to 11,000, 2,000 horses, and formally organized a cavalry. Even Hao Yin, a subordinate of Lü Bu, surrendered to Cao Cao.

Boulders covered the air, fireballs flew, and after killing the former commander of the Fifth Legion who was delaying the operation according to military law, the entire legion fell into a frenzied siege operation.

There was a loud "boom", and there was an exclamation from the closure of the tiger prison, and Liu Bei ordered sharply: "Continue to throw fire bombs and burn them." ”

A round ball of straw rope entwined, the center of the ball wrapped a terracotta oil jar, the burning fireball boiled the oil in the jar, exploded, the fire was everywhere, and the hot oil splashed. This is the fire oil bomb born in the Jin Dynasty, and now, it was born a hundred years early, and its power is really extraordinary.

Steaming, frying, boiling, frying, the fifth legion's eighteen martial arts together, in the blink of an eye, the tiger prison turned into a big furnace, the fire was burning, and the smell of barbecue meat rushed straight to the end of the nose, and the generals of the Cao army and Kong Rong soldiers were dumbfounded.

Liu Bei set his horse and paced slowly in front of the pass, and no one released the arrows when he closed it. "Catapults extend shooting, erect ladders, siege cities."

There was an exclamation in the city, and Lu Bu will be a general, and no one will command the defense when the tiger prison is closed, indicating that this person must be the general who presides over the defense.
