In Lu Bu's military tent, the barbarian generals were excited, and the good news was one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when the barbarians were about to rob Lu Bu of grain and grass, many barbarian captives fled back one after another, saying that Lu Bu's army was retreating, and they took advantage of the chaos to escape. The barbarian generals were suspicious and sent people to Lu Bu Dazhai to investigate, and found that the entire village was full of military tents, but the banners were displayed but there was no one.
The barbarian generals who had just received Lu Bu's Dazhai gathered together and speculated: "It seems that something has happened in the rear of Lu Bu, and the troops must be withdrawn, this is a godsend, chase!" ”
"Lu Bu is scheming, we should investigate clearly before using troops."
The atmosphere in the big tent was excited, there were those who supported the pursuit, and there were those who supported the immobility, and when the stalemate was deadlocked, suddenly a barbarian soldier broke into the big tent and reported: "Report to the kings, we have found that the Han soldiers are adjusting their troops seventy miles away. ”
"Wow! Lu Bu escaped seventy miles in one go? What the hell is going on here? Is his wife going to have a baby? Suddenly, there was another commotion in the tent. Lu Bu was fleeing for his life, and in half a day, he ran two or three times faster than a normal march.
"Adjust the troops? How to adjust the hair? Meng Yudi's eyes flashed.
|“ The brothers did not dare to approach, for fear of being discovered, and their vision was not good at night, so they only vaguely saw a column of carriages leaning on the side of the road for hundreds of miles, waiting for the infantry of the rear army to change into the front team to go first. ”
"There has been a major change in Lu Bu's rear, and this is to run back to the army to rescue. It must be that the grain transport team is marching too slowly, Lu Bu can't wait, and he thinks that he is doing something hidden and will not be caught up by our army, so he left the grain and grass brigade to move slowly, and there must not be too many soldiers escorting the grain and grass. Raids, kings! ”
The barbarians echoed, and their eyes lit up when they heard the grain and grass.
"Wait." There was a commotion outside the big tent, Zhu Rong broke into the camp single-handedly, it turned out that she and Yan Yan escorted the grain and grass to the barbarian camp, and found that the entire barbarian army had run to the Lu Bu camp, and hurriedly ran alone to stop: "Grain and grass are the top priority of the Han army, and the Han army has clouds: the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved." Lu Bu made it clear that he had a plan to give up grain and grass, how could this be? ”
A Han army supervisor chased after him from a distance, first saluted the heavy barbarian general, he understood the whole story as early as halfway, so he said: "You kings don't know, Lu Bu came to attack Xichuan, in fact, he was attacked on three sides, or on all sides, and it is not strange that he was surrounded by enemies in an all-round way. ”
Seeing that the barbarians were puzzled, the Han army supervisor hurriedly explained: "As far as I know, there are two armies in Xichuan that attack the Lu Bu army, our army is in the Xichong area, and Jianguan also has the army of Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty. Uncle Liu Huang, you have heard of it, the southern and northern wars have not tasted defeat for decades, and the existence that makes Lu Bu frightened is the uncle of today. ”
The barbarian generals nodded at the same time, the Son of Heaven knew that there was only one Son of Heaven in the whole world, and asked at the same time: "Who is Uncle Liu Huang?" ”
"Alright, alright." Mu Lu interrupted the prison army impatiently and rudely, and wanted to explain: "Just now, a warrior from my clan fled back and said that Lu Buyang Pingguan was lost, and he was busy going back. What is Yangpingguan and how does it compare to Chang'an? ”
"Yangping Pass is lost?" The prison army excitedly ignored the etiquette of the Han family and asked loudly, "Is it Yangping Pass?" Did you hear it right? ”
Seeing Mulu nodding, the prison army said excitedly: "No wonder Lu Bu hurriedly retreated. Yangping Pass is the gateway to Hanzhong, no wonder Lu Bu is in a hurry, and he has to retreat to help even if he doesn't care about anything. Forget it, you don't understand, if you want Lu Bu's grain and grass, immediately order the army, and be the vanguard. ”
This was a great opportunity to reap the benefits of the war, and the supervising army demanded to be the first to go into battle despite the heavy task of monitoring the barbarian army. The barbarian's eyes were red, and Lu Bu's army was grain and grass, how could he let the Han army be the vanguard: "Yes, yes, the kings quickly order to chase, and the grain will run away when it is late." ”
Zhu Rong still wanted to stop it, but the rest of the barbarian generals said at the same time: "Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, with this large amount of grain and grass plus Yizhou pasture and grain, our clan can survive this winter and wait for the spring hunt to come." Don't hesitate, kings. ”
The giants got together again and exchanged ears.
It was night, and the barbarian army did not stop, and did not go over the mountains and mountains to take the trail, but let go of their feet and chased down from the pipeline.
At noon the next day, the vanguard of the barbarian army pursued more than 130 miles, and finally caught up with the last unit of the Han army. The barbarian army was happy, and collected a lot of truckloads of grain and grass abandoned by Lu Bujun along the way, as long as the rut fell into the snow, these grains and grass would be discarded, and the barbarian army picked up no less than two hundred carts along the way.
"Kill!" The first time the barbarians saw the buttocks of the grain and grass brigade, the whole army launched a charge, and the Han army dispersed in a hurry, and the barbarian army looted into pieces. Without a gun, the barbarians in the grain field were red-eyed, and they almost fought for the grain, and the speed of the barbarian vanguard pursuit slowed down with the carts of grain and grass that were snatched up.
After another half a day of pursuit, more and more carriages full of grain were abandoned along the way, and the troops escorted by Lu Bu to the grain and grass had already fled. In the end, it was not a cart of abandoned grain, but a sprinkling of grain in the mountains and fields in the snow, and seeing the Han army wasting food, the barbarians gritted their teeth with hatred, and scolded while collecting the grain.
"This is the Han people's habitual trick of cutting off the tail, that is, to use grain and grass to delay the pursuit of our army, everyone don't care about the roadside food, chase quickly!" Even Zhu Rong was attracted by the mountains of food, and left a little worry in his heart behind.
Late at night on the third day, the guide of the Han army, who was familiar with the local area, saw that the barbarian army was chasing the enemy day after day, tired and excited, and after grabbing a lot of food, the barbarian soldiers did not have the same vigor as they began, and they said with the idea of retreating: "Thirty miles ahead is the Sword Pass, where is a strong and elite Han army stationed." Without further ado, once Uncle Liu Huang is allowed to go out of the customs and plunder more grain and grass from Lu Bujun, won't your kings make wedding dresses for others? ”
The barbarian generals' expressions twisted, and when they heard that there was more food waiting for them, they knew the taste of the marrow, how could they want others to get involved, and once again lifted their spirits to pursue them overnight.
This may be the last snow of winter, and tonight's blizzard is very heavy, and it is very blurry to see six or seven feet out of sight. The barbarians chased out again and seven or eight miles away, and in the distance they vaguely saw the internal water passing through the gorge, the two banks were narrow, and the two mountains were high and dangerous.
"Stop!" Zhu Rong suddenly raised her hand to stop the pursuit team, as a woman's delicate mind, she slightly heard a faint sound of trumpets in front of her.
Zhu Rong personally led several waiters to come forward to spy on them. In the distance, a convoy of grain once again appeared at the limit of the field of vision, and it was impossible to see how many people there were, and from the trumpets and complaints, no less than three or four thousand people were surmised. The angry rebuke of the generals and the complaints of the soldiers reached the ears of the Swift Wind, and only one of the soldiers was heard complaining:
"General, such a snowstorm, let's rest for the night tonight, the barbarians are not used to the cold winter, and they will not chase after them. We haven't closed our eyes for days, General, let's rest for the night. ”
"Yes, General, I can't do it, I'm not leaving."
"Yes, we're going to rest, we're not leaving." The sound of trumpets paused, as did the heavy creaking of ruts, except for the vague sight of countless soldiers resting on the snow.
"Get up! Get up! These tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass are the last grain and grass of our army, and they must not fall into the hands of the enemy, what if the barbarians chase after them? Be cautious, get up quickly and continue on the road, snap ......" Zhu Rong heard whipping and screaming in the distance.
"Inform Meng Shu and Mulu to attack quickly, there is a grain and grass brigade ahead."
When the barbarians heard this, they cheered up, and took steel knives and forks, like wild beasts hunting their prey, and they were full of longing eyes, and they quietly made no sound, only the rustling of footsteps. When the barbarians were chasing, the grain and grass brigade in front began to shout a unified slogan to push the carriage, and the barbarians were in a hurry when they saw that they were about to get out of the narrow canyon ahead.
"Chase, kill! Don't let the food run away. ”
The barbarians cheered up, took out their bows and arrows from afar, stretched their bows and strings, and "swish, swish, swish", and the arrows fell far behind the grain and grass brigade, brandishing knives, forks, halberds, and spears, and swarming like a canyon.
When the Han army heard this, they shouted in panic: "It's not good, the enemy is attacking!" ”
"Protect the grain and grass!" The Han generals urged the soldiers to leave several wagons to stop at the exit of the canyon, and rows of archers took cover with carriages and used bows and arrows to block the barbarian soldiers.
"After the back team is broken, the front team is leaving!" When the Han soldiers heard this, they hurriedly divided their troops into two routes, blocking the enemy all the way, and protecting the food all the way and leaving.
The boiled duck was about to fly away under his nose, and the barbarians were in a hurry, shouting slogans and launching a fierce assault on the defense line of Lu Bu's army. After the break, the team rained down arrows and stuck to the exit of the canyon, repelling the brutes wave after wave.
"The whole army is speeding up the charge, the Han army is small, kill the Han army in front of you, and you must not let the food run away." Meng Huo carried the blade, shouted in the formation, and violently slammed into the barricades.
Under the temptation of food, the barbarian army rushed bravely to kill, Zhu Rong braved the arrows and rode a blood-red war horse to take the lead, with a long mark like a gun, unstoppable, crossing the carriage obstacles, and stabbing dozens of Han archers in a row. The Han army resisted stubbornly, and even if it occupied a favorable position, it was forced to retreat one after another, retreating little by little, giving way to the mouth of the canyon, giving more open space to the barbarians, and more barbarians to join the charging team.
On the mountain, densely packed and neatly filmed, Lu Bu's army really watched the battle in the interior of the canyon, and the army was like a neat dwarf bush on the mountain peak, motionless in the wind and snow, watching coldly.
"General, I can't stand it anymore, give the order." Wang Shuang said eagerly as he looked at the team under the mountain that was being pushed back a little bit.
"Wait, wait for all the barbarians to go down the underground canyon, and catch them all!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice, he didn't want to go deep into the Southern Barbarians to crusade against the barbarians in the future, and now he can consume as much more barbarian combat power as possible.
"The herald Lu Lingqi led 3,000 men and horses to support the broken rear troops, and it was necessary to hold the barbarians for two hours." Lu Bu said. He didn't dare to send too many reinforcements, and there were too many reinforcements, and the barbarians could not see the hope of victory, perhaps they were frightened and retreated. And after an hour, the sky will brighten, and the brute soldiers who can chase after them must have chased after them.
