Chapter 453: Lu Bu is mighty

After Liu Ji reminded everyone to keep in mind the lessons of the 17th Infantry Brigade of the Guards Regiment of the Broken Army, Jia Xu suggested to Liu Ji: "My lord, the four cities in Shakhtinsk Province that are now under siege by the army of the Rest State, the losses of the defenders are not small, in order to prevent the recurrence of the incident of Gaqim City, my subordinates suggest that it is best to transfer a cavalry unit from us to Shakhtinsk Province to contain the army of the Rest State besieging the four cities. ”

At present, in Shakhtinsk Province, there are still three cities of the Breaker Army that have not been attacked by the Sabbatarian army, but there is an infantry brigade in these three cities, and these three infantry brigades want to reinforce the four cities that have been besieged by the Sabbatarian army, and it is likely that they will be surrounded by the superior forces of the Sabbatarian army in the field.

In such a situation, it is a good idea to send a cavalry force into the Shakhtinsk province, because it is not so easy for the army of the country of peace to encircle a cavalry force, and with a cavalry force outside, the army of the country of peace will not be able to devote all its strength to the siege.

Liu Ji thought for a moment and nodded, then swept his eyes to the many generals under his command, and said to Lu Bu and Fang Jie: "Lu Bu, Fang Jie, you take the Second Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Regiment to Shakhtinsk Province to help relieve the pressure on the four cities besieged by the army of the Sabbatin Country as much as possible. ”

Lu Bu and Fang Jie immediately said in unison: "Yes, lord!" ”

Although the Second Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Regiment is newly formed, it has 1,600 white horses and 3,200 tigers and leopards, and the brigade captain is Lu Bu, a fierce man, and the force value of Captain Fang Jie is also 97 points.

Fan Zeng then said to Liu Ji: "My lord, the main force of the alliance of the four countries in the Western Regions is the army of Dawan and Cheshi, although the armies of these two countries are blocked in the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, but the armies of their two countries are likely to leave a part of their forces and continue to besiege the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, and their main forces may advance eastward and come to Zhilisi City to fight a decisive battle with our army. ”

At this time, the broken army troops gathered in Cilic City, even if the second cavalry brigade of the Guards Legion that was about to leave was removed, there were still fourteen cavalry brigades and twenty-six infantry brigades, with a total strength of up to 1.6 million, so many troops, only one Cilicis City could not be fitted, so most of the cavalry brigades and infantry brigades were now stationed outside Cilic City.

Once the armies of Dawan and Cheshi are in the city, it is impossible for Liu Ji to let most of the cavalry brigades and infantry brigades evacuate, Liu Ji gathered so many troops in Cilisi City, that is, there is a decisive battle with the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance, after all, the enemy of the Broken Army is not only the Western Regions Four Kingdoms Alliance, but also many nomads on the northern grassland, Liu Ji also hopes to end this war with the Western Regions Four Kingdoms Alliance as soon as possible.

If this big war drags on for too long, if there is also a war in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, the Broken Army will face a two-front battle, and the pressure on the Broken Army will be great.

Li Ru then said: "The main army of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom, if they choose to advance eastward and come to Zhilisi City to fight a decisive battle with our army, it is actually beneficial to our army, as long as we can defeat the main army of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom, then the other troops of the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance Army will not be worried." ”

Xun Yu said: "According to the information sent by Heishuitai, this time Dawan joined the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance, and sent a total of six cavalry corps, twelve infantry corps, 500,000 auxiliaries and 300,000 vassal troops, and now except for one infantry corps and 200,000 auxiliaries who stayed in Orun Province, the rest of the about two million people have entered Huhesa Province, and the Cheshi Kingdom has joined the ten legions of the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance Army and 300,000 vassal armies, totaling 1.3 million people, all of them have entered Huhesa Province. ”

After a pause, Xun Yu continued: "In order to besiege the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, the armies of the two countries must leave at least 800,000 to 1 million troops, so that the troops of the two countries that can come to Cilis City should be between 2.3 million and 2.5 million, and after subtracting the losses of the two armies in attacking the city, this number may be even less." ”

Xun You followed and said: "We have four infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades in each of the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, and the armies of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom besieging the three cities dare not leave too little, and these three cities should be able to contain hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom." ”

Liu Ji said loudly at this time: "Everyone should know about the affairs of the Orun Province, the alliance of the four countries of the Western Regions can be so ruthless to their own people, not to mention their enemies, so in the next big battle, I hope that all the troops will fight bravely to kill the enemy, this general doesn't want the matter of the Orun Province to happen in the territory of our Western Regions Protectorate!" ”

Early in the morning of 4 June, 40,000 soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Corps, led by LΓΌ Bu and Fang Jie, rushed to Shakhtinsk Province.

The cavalry of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Regiment was equipped with three horses each, so that they could constantly change horses during the long-distance run, and by the morning of 5 June, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Regiment had arrived at the city of Mogut in Shakhtinsk Province, which was under attack by the 21st Army Corps of the Rest State.

There are a total of twenty-seven legions in the country of rest, and the strength of each legion is about 100,000, but the top ten legions are stronger than the seventeen legions in the back in terms of combat effectiveness.

More than ten miles away from Mogu Special City, Lu Bu listened to the scout's report on the military situation in Mogu Special City, and immediately gathered Captain Fang Jie and the five battalion lieutenants and five lieutenants under his command together.

The five battalion lieutenants and the five lieutenants were all first-class military generals in the Qin and Han dynasties, namely the battalion lieutenants Wei Dun, Wang Zhang, Kong Tao, Liu Xiangtu and Du Zhizhu, and the commanders Gao Lie, Feng Yu, Luo Zan, Zhou Pi and Wang Huancheng.

Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "The army of the Rest Country besieging Mogute City, should not know that a cavalry brigade of our Broken Army has come to the vicinity of Mogute City, I am going to let the soldiers of the brigade rest for half an hour, and then launch a surprise attack on the army of the Rest Country besieging the city, according to the reconnaissance of the scouts, the cavalry of the Rest Country are all in the west outside the Mogute City, so we will first attack the enemy in the west outside the Mogute City." ”

Fang Jie then asked, "General Lu, didn't the scout say how many cavalry there are in the Sabbath Country?" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's about 20,000 cavalry, with the strength of our Second Cavalry Brigade, there should be no problem in eating this cavalry of the Sabbath Country." ”

Fang Jie said with a smile: "If we can raid and eat these 20,000 cavalry of the Resting Country, maybe we can leave all the Resting Nation troops here in Mogute City, according to the intelligence of Heishuitai, there should be a legion of the Resting Nation here." ”

On the western wall of Mogute City, Qiu Rui, the brigade captain of the Ninth Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, personally supervised the battle and repelled a wave of attacks from the Anxiguo army, and turned his head to Shang Hong, the battalion captain of the First Infantry Battalion of the Ninth Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, and said: "Your battalion has transferred another unit, and the Anxiren attacked a little fiercely today, relying on two unsatisfactory divisions, it is a little difficult to defend. ”

The infantry of the Broken Army, each infantry battalion numbered about 8,000 men, and was divided into five divisions, each of which numbered about 1,600 men.

Shang Hong, a battalion lieutenant with the strength of a first-class general, smiled bitterly and said: "Brigade Captain, now that there are five divisions of my First Infantry Battalion, on average, there are less than 800 people left in each department, which can be said to be a loss of more than half, I don't know when the reinforcements from the lord will be sent?" ”

Qiu Rui sighed and said: "It's all my fault for being a little underestimated, if I didn't want to give the rest of the people a dismount, I wouldn't have lost seven or eight thousand people outside the city, then the situation in Mogute City can be better now, but no matter what, we must also hold on, your first infantry battalion will hold on until this evening, and then I will let the fifth infantry battalion take over you." ”

When the 21st Army of the Resting Country arrived at Mogute City, Qiu Rui personally led four battalions to fight a big battle with the 21st Army of the Resting Country outside the city.

The west side of Mogute City was the focus of the attack of the Anxibatan army, so Qiu Rui asked two infantry battalions to take turns guarding the western city wall, and the other three infantry battalions of the Ninth Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Army were divided into three other city walls of Mogute City, but the two infantry battalions guarding the western city wall suffered very heavy losses.

At this time, the battalion captain Shang Hong suddenly shouted: "Captain, look, it seems that our reinforcements are coming!" ”

Qiu Rui hurriedly looked into the distance, and immediately saw that the cavalry was black and oppressive, and was rushing towards the army of the Sabbatarian country outside Mogute City, although because of the distance, Qiu Rui could not see the appearance and banner of the cavalry rushing over, but Qiu Rui had a strong feeling that this must be the cavalry unit of the Broken Army.

The commander of the 21st Legion of the Rest Country, Afif, saw the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Broken Army that suddenly appeared, and immediately asked two cavalry teams of 10,000 people under his command to meet him, and at the same time ordered the three infantry teams in the west outside the city of Mogute to immediately form a battle formation, and there were two infantry teams of 10,000 troops in the west of the city outside the city, so as to monitor the enemy in the city and prevent the troops of the Broken Army in the city from taking the opportunity to launch a flanking attack.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and took the lead with 40,000 cavalry, and slaughtered among the two cavalry 10,000 troops of the 21st Army of the Sabbath Country.

Almost none of the cavalry of the Rest Country in front of Lu Bu were the enemy of Lu Bu's move, and dozens of the cavalry of the Rest Country died under Fang Tian's halberd in an instant.

At this time, a captain of the 10,000-strong cavalry of the Rest Country, with more than 50 guards around him, killed in front of Lu Bu, but this commander who was known for his strength in the Rest Country was stabbed to death by Lu Bu with a halberd after only holding on to a few moves under Lu Bu's hands, and more than 50 guards around this captain were also killed by Fang Jie with people.

Not long after, another captain of the 10,000-strong cavalry of the Rest Country was also stabbed to death by Lu Bu, the killing god, which made the remnants of the rest of the Rest Country cavalry collapse instantly.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Rest Country began to flee, Lu Bu loudly ordered the cavalry under his command to drive the defeated cavalry of the Rest Country in the direction of the infantry battle formation of the Rest Country.

Seeing that his defeated cavalry was driven by the enemy and rushed to the three infantry units that formed the battle formation, Afif, the commander of the 21st Army of the Sabbath Country, immediately ordered the infantry battle formation to fire arrows at the defeated cavalry of his own side, and if he allowed his defeated cavalry to attack the infantry battle formation, then the three infantry troops would be crushed immediately.

However, there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry in the defeated Rest Country, and the escape path of these Rest Country cavalry in other directions has basically been blocked by the cavalry of the Broken Army, plus these Rest Country Cavalry has lost the command of senior officers, and it is difficult to change the direction of escape, and finally these Rest Country cavalry faced the arrow rain of their own infantry, and crashed into the battle formation composed of three infantry teams of 10,000 people in the Rest Country, for which there were almost 3,000 Rest Country cavalry, and died under the arrows of their own people.

In the face of such an opportunity, where would Lu Bu let it go, and led his cavalry to follow behind the defeated cavalry of the Resting Country, and rushed into the battle formation of the infantry of the Resting Country.

In the end, the five infantry units of the 21st Army of the Rest Kingdom in the west outside Mogute City were all defeated by the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Regiment led by Lu Bu.

The commander of the 21st Army of the Sabbath Army, Afif, with the remnants of thousands of Sabbath soldiers, was surrounded by thousands of cavalry regiments of the Broken Army.

Afif rode a war horse, with a long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly in the Jin dialect: "I am the commander of the 21st Army of the Rest Country, Afif, there are warriors in the Jin Kingdom, dare to fight with me!" ”

At this time, Lu Bu controlled the war horse and stepped forward and shouted: "You have no way to escape, quickly lay down your weapons, this general can save you from death!" ”

Afif looked at Lu Bu and recognized that this was the god-killing figure on the battlefield just now, and Afif suddenly shouted with high fighting spirit: "Jin people, dare to fight with me?" ”

Lu Bu pursed his lips, pointed the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand at Afif, and shouted: "Rest in peace, remember!" The one who took your life, Lu Bu, the Broken Army, is also! ”

Saying that, Lu Bu urged the horse and rushed towards Afif, and Afif was not to be outdone, he swung his knife at Lu Bu, and soon the two of them fought together.

Afif is quite powerful, he should have the strength of a top general, and even the force value should be quite high, but he is facing Lu Bu, with the bonus of the Red Rabbit Horse and Fang Tian's Halberd, Lu Bu's force value is as high as 106 points, in the sixth round of the two fights, Afif was stabbed off the war horse by Lu Bu's halberd, and lay on the ground without a sound.

After Afif's death, the thousands of soldiers of the Sabbatical Nation who followed Afif threw away their weapons and chose to surrender. 21010
