Chapter 170: Hu Che'er
After a delay of more than half an hour, the harvest was also very rich, not only won a fierce general, but also got 3,000 soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Their combat power is negligible, and in the future it will also be three thousand laborers.
As soon as Lu Bu ordered the army to march, thousands of men and horses galloped in the distance again.
"The person who came should be Pei Yuanshao." Zhou Cang said: "Wait for me to invite Yuan Shao to join the general." ”
"That's very good." Lu Bu's subordinates are very short of generals, and Pei Yuanshao has been in the Yellow Turban thieves for nearly 20 years without being destroyed, and he also has his way of leading troops. Lu Bu let the army move on, and he stopped and waited for Pei Yuanshao.
Not long after, a tall thin man with a short beard and a yellow scarf on his head followed Zhou Cang towards Lu Bu. Zhou Cang pointed at Lu Bu from afar and said, "This is General Lu." ”
Pei Yuanshao fell off his horse when he heard the sound, and bowed down: "Pei Yuanshao has seen General Lu." ”
"Strong man, please get up." Lu Bu stepped forward to help Pei Yuanshao, and was about to open his mouth to surrender, only to hear Pei Yuanshao say:
"I was a thief when I was young, and since Zhang Jiao's death, I have no owner to serve, so I gather in the mountains and forests, hide and save my life. When I meet the general today, I hope that the general will not abandon Yuan Shao's vulgarity, help Yuan Shao wash away the thief's body, and make meritorious contributions. ”
"Today, the two generals are like-minded, and Bu is very happy." In addition to knowing that Zhou Cang was barely a thug, Lu Bu didn't know what Pei Yuanshao would do at all, so he could only observe slowly in the future.
"Treat Ming Gong well, Yuan Shao is willing to repay him with his death." Pei Yuanshao was very grateful in his heart, he was born a yellow turban thief, and he was ridiculed, and no prince would be willing to appoint them, and it was more difficult to come up with a prince than to ascend to the sky.
"General, I have a plan. Woniu Mountain is not far from Wancheng, Zhang Xiu and others should have heard of the names of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, it is better to send Pei Yuanshao to lead the troops to fight, and our army is ambushed! Liu Ye looked at the bandits brought by Pei Yuanshao, except for Pei Yuanshao's old fish scale armor, the other people's blades were covered with gaps, which were very worn. Liu Ye was not good at treating Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao as the face of them, and bluntly said that their combat power was unsightly.
Liu Ye's meaning, Lu Bu understood. Woniu Mountain is very close to Wancheng, Zhang Xiu must have heard of this group of bandits, since he knows that there are thousands of bandits on his side of the couch and will not be exterminated, it means that Zhang Xiu is not a group of bandits in Woniu Mountain at all. If Pei Yuanshao comes forward to attack the city, he will definitely be despised by the defenders of Wancheng and annihilated out of the city, Lu Bu took the opportunity to set up an ambush, and it should not be difficult to capture Wancheng in one fell swoop.
"General Pei can make this contribution to the city?" Lu Bu turned his head to Pei Yuanshao and asked.
"This ...... Our troops are in tatters and have low combat effectiveness, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this great task. Pei Yuanshao's face was very embarrassed.
"General Pei doesn't have to attack the city, he just needs to lure the enemy out of the city." Lu Bu explained: "The guards of Wancheng are guarded by Zhang Xiu's cronies Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er's wine bags and rice bags, General Pei is scolding under the city, Hu Che'er must not be able to bear the insults and go out of the city to fight." ”
"The last general is going to reorganize the army!" Pei Yuanshao heard that it was just to lure the enemy, so he gladly accepted the order.
"Zhou Cang's tribe has not been incorporated yet, Wei Yue took General Pei to Zang Ba to ask for another thousand bandits...... Belch...... Another thousand soldiers. Lu Bu didn't mean to despise the bandits in Woniu Mountain, he just wanted to distinguish the bandits from the soldiers under his command, lest Zang Ba assign the elite troops to Pei Yuanshao to lure the enemy.
After Lu Bu returned to the team, he discussed the strategic arrangement with Liu Ye while continuing to Wancheng. Before sending troops, only a general strategic arrangement was planned, and specific tactics had to be adapted to the battle. No strategist can formulate a good strategy before a big battle, the situation of the battle can change rapidly, and what can be done before the war is to assume unfavorable factors from all directions as much as possible to minimize losses.
Although Wancheng is a small basin surrounded by rolling hills, there is no suitable place for the army to ambush.
Seeing that it was afternoon, Lu Bu asked Pei Yuanshao to lead his troops to Wancheng to fight according to the original plan, and then camped on the mountainside at the bend of the river channel, the geographical location of this place is very superior, surrounded by water on three sides, and the enemy only needs to defend the attack at the foot of the mountain in the west, if you can't quickly capture Wancheng, here can be used as a temporary base to hoard and grab the grain.
Lu Bu was lightly armed, and he did not carry camping wood in his baggage, so he could only cut down trees nearby to build a rudimentary wall. Although this put an end to the enemy's fire attack, the workload is really a bit bigger, fortunately, there are countless soldiers in the army who are equivalent to auxiliary soldiers, anyway, Lu Bu only planned to let them grab the grain, and he didn't think about letting them go to the battlefield, and let them do it if he cut down trees.
Leaving Zang Ba, Liu Ye and others to set up camp, Lu Bu took Lei Xu, Zhou Cang, Wei Xu and others to lead 3,000 troops, and went straight to the place agreed with Pei Yuanshao and waited for him to lead the defenders of Wancheng out of the city to pursue.
Hu Che'er was yawning on the upper floor of Wancheng City, while reaching out to touch the wine bag on his waist and quenching his thirst. Wancheng now has no enemies, the guards are relatively lax, and Hu Che'er would not have thought that Lu Bu, who Zhang Xiu was monitoring in the south, would commit a crime against the wind, turned over, and continued to sleep in the cave at the head of the city.
"Bell...... Boom...... Clang...... Boom...... Clang...... Knock ......"
In the distance, a stumbling sound could be heard from under the hills, and a group of ragged bandits turned the hill and came into view. This group of bandits beat weapons and broken drums at the same time, without a sense of killing, more like a group of beggars begging for food.
Hu Che'er's half-empty and sleepy eyes, his body quickly left the bed, rushed to the arrow battlement and glanced out, and roared in his mouth: "Enemy attack, close the city gate!" ”
When he saw a group of bandits killing the city in the distance, he closed his eyelids and spit out a mouthful of saliva: "Where is the name Hanako?" ”
"Close the gates!" The young general of the city gate shouted loudly at the soldiers at the city gate.
"What's noisy, what's off!" Hu Che'er reprimanded the young general dissatisfied, and walked towards the city gate tower with his eyes closed, planning to go back and continue to lie down for a while: "This is just a group of bandits, why be afraid!" Call me again near the moat. ”
After Hu Che'er finished speaking, he grabbed the wine bag again and took a sip, dissatisfied with the noise outside the city that disturbed his dream.
Pei Yuanshao came to Wancheng with his soldiers, and when he saw the city gate wide open, he hesitated in his heart whether Wancheng had received the news of Lu Bu's attack, and he was so fearless that he did not dare to approach the city gate, and only shouted outside the city gate.
Pei Yuanshao secretly sighed that Lu Bu missed the opportunity, if Lu Bu gave him an elite team, not his army of bandits with little combat power, he was very confident that he would take down Wancheng, where the city gate was wide open. Hu Che'er is not stupid, if it is an elite army, how can it not close the city gate.
"General Tiangong sat down, Pei Yuanshao, the marshal of the Daqu of Woniu Mountain, came to attack the city, and the Xiaoxiao upstairs hurriedly got out and died!" Pei Yuanshao was close to the city wall and no one paid attention to it, he was completely ignored, his face was dull, and he shouted loudly.
"I knew it was a group of bandits from Woniu Mountain, throwing a few bags of grain out of the city and letting them go." Hu Che'er didn't even bother to move.
Pei Yuanshao saw that no one in the city answered, and the group of bandits under his command were arrogant: "Daqu Shuai is here, don't get out and die!" ”
"Get out!" Hu Che'er was annoyed by the noise outside the city, and rushed to the arrow battlement with the bones and shouted angrily outside the city.
"Hu barbarian, get out of here and die, otherwise you can wave your army to attack the city!" Pei Yuanshao wanted to intimidate Huche'er and said.
Hu Che'er was originally a Hu person, and he was most taboo for others to call him an uneducated barbarian, so he slammed his pestle hard: "The city gate is not closed, you group of mud-legged people have the ability to kill into the city, see if I don't break your dog's head!" ”
Pei Yuanshao was said by Hu Che'er to have no temper, it is a fact that he did not dare to attack the city. Lu Bu, who was ambushed in the distant mountains, saw that his army was approaching the city, but the enemy general ignored it. I secretly regret that I should use elite disguise to attack the city, but the chance of being seen through is too high, and once it is discovered, it will be a bloody battle, and it may not be able to capture Wancheng.
"Hu Che'er is a wine bag and rice bag, and he doesn't dare to go out of the city to fight." Soldiers outside the city began to curse.
Hu Che'er's reputation for not being drunk was instead said to be a wine bag and rice bag outside the city, and he was furious in his heart: "Look at me coming out and tearing your mouth!" ”
Hu Che'er went straight to the city with the bones, and ordered five hundred soldiers to go out of the city to fight.
"General Hu is slow." Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Mu, heard that there were bandits attacking the city, but he failed to inherit his father's wisdom but inherited his father's style of seeking himself: "A group of yellow turban thieves in Woniu Mountain have been at peace with my Wancheng for several years, and they have always been well water and river water. Now Lu Bu has just come to Runan, this group of bandits will come to invade the territory, I am afraid that Lu Bu instigated, if Lu Bu is ambushed outside the city, the general out of the city is very dangerous. ”
Jia Mu guessed wildly, and he actually hit it crookedly, and he persuaded Hu Che'er with the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Now that Wancheng is empty, Jia Mu thinks that it is not appropriate to go out of the city to meet the enemy, as long as he tells Zhang Xiu about the matter, and after Zhang Xiu returns to the army, he will naturally clean up the group of bandits in Woniu Mountain.
"Brother Jia, don't grow up others to destroy their prestige, you see the city gate is wide open, this group of bandits dare not enter the city, they only dare to shout and curse outside the city, if there is an ambush, they will rush in a long time ago." Hu Che'er said unhappily.
At this moment, Zhang Quan led three hundred guards from the inner city to kill, heard the conversation between Jia Mu and Hu Che'er, and supported Hu Che'er and said: "General Hu went out of the city to destroy the enemy, if left unchecked, this group of bandits will not waste all the ripe grain around Wancheng." ”
"The major general is reasonable, General Hu must not be in love with war." Jia Mu also felt that Zhang Quan was reasonable, but he still didn't feel at ease and explained to Hu Che'er. Jia Mu completely relied on his father Yu Yin, and a strong general like Hu Che'er looked down on a scribe like him who could only move his mouth, so he casually agreed to a few words, ordered the soldiers and horses and went out of the car to kill.
Pei Yuanshao saw that Hu Che'er had brought five hundred soldiers out of the city, and dense fine sweat continued to break out of his palms. The Yellow Turban Army is recognized as having low combat effectiveness, otherwise Zhang Jiao's hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army would not have been defeated by Huangfu Song's seven or eight thousand elite main forces, and finally ended in failure.
Pei Yuanshao's soldiers did not have all the "weapons", and he didn't know the battle formation, so he couldn't compete with the five hundred elite soldiers brought out by Hu Che'er. Pei Yuanshao didn't plan to wave his army to fight, he wanted to kill Hu Che'er first with his own combat power, forcing a large number of defenders in the city to go out of the city to fight.
