Chapter 121: Lu Bu made a joke
(Hey, in the future, the battles between Sun Ce and Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not be redescribed, and some readers raised the problem of too few pig's feet, and I suddenly realized.) Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info)
"In order to steal your life, you betrayed your ancestors, and your sin is unforgivable, so you will be executed." Chen Deng closed his eyes, trying to expel Chen Ang's shadow from his mind.
"Big brother, you can't kill me! I have been sent by the Lord to deliver a letter to you! Chen Ang's heart was like ashes, he knew that as soon as Chen Deng saw him, he would definitely torture him to death in countless ways. Chen Ang shouted as he clung to a tree trunk to prevent the refugees from dragging him down to death, begging that Chen Deng would not kill him, as Lu Bu said.
Chen Deng staggered a few steps, laughed madly, and laughed so much that tears flew from his eyes: "I have a blood feud with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu will actually send you to deliver a letter to me, let's say, what does Lu Bu want?" ”
"My lordship..."
"Shut up! You traitor! Chen Deng heard Chen Ang open his mouth and shut up and call Lord Lu Bu, and he couldn't describe the anger in his heart towards Chen Ang with his anger.
"My family... said that he would send Huailing City to you to settle down, and he would also leave you enough food and grass, enough soldiers to defend the city, and countless bows and arrows. Chen Ang cautiously observed Chen Deng's reaction.
"Don't think! Lu Buxiu wants me to cut him off! Chen Deng really guessed Lu Bu's guess, and he guessed Lu Bu's purpose at once.
Chen Deng knelt on the ground weakly, very helpless, and the shadows of his father, mother, wife and children, and clansmen flashed from his heart one by one.
Chen Ang didn't dare to disturb Chen Deng's thinking, and waited for a long time before standing up with the tree pole and continuing: "My lord also said that if you want to take revenge, you have to get through the current crisis first, you don't want to defend the city, he gave Huailing to Sun Ce, and my lord said, 'You can't even hold it for ten days'." ”
Chen Deng hung his head in frustration, like a defeated rooster: "As Lu Bu wishes, I will guard Huailing City for him, and let him see how long I can defend it!" Isn't he afraid that I will uproot him? ”
"My father-in-law also said that this is called 'raising tigers to drive wolves', as long as the owner is strong enough, the tiger can only grin at the owner, but there is nothing to be done." Chen Ang believed Lu Bu and said that Chen Deng would not kill him, and now according to Lu Bu's explanation, he angered Chen Deng.
When Chen Deng heard this, he jumped up from the ground in a rage, grabbed Chen Ang regardless of his image, rode Chen Ang under him and beat him, and said with a whimper in his mouth: "I call you to bare your teeth, I call you to grin..."
Chen Deng is a smart person, the smarter a person, the more he likes to repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, and suffer from gains and losses, if Chen Deng is a reckless man, Lu Bu will not dare to let him be a thug at all. He is now desperate, and if he wants revenge, he can only be wronged.
Chen Deng wanted to use Huailing City to settle down, but he didn't dare to really kill Chen Ang, so he could only beat him up to relieve the hatred in his heart. He was tired, stood up and kicked Chen Ang, who was lying on the ground and dying, a few times again: "Get out, I'll see you fight once in the future." ”
"Then do you want Huailing?" Chen Ang slowly got up, holding his swollen face and asked cautiously.
"Go back and tell Lu Bu to get out of Huailing City quickly, if I see him in the city, maybe I will lift the city and surrender to Sun Ce."
――――――――――――――――――――
"General, Sun Ce's general Xu Yi is waiting outside the city, wanting to enter the city to search." A small soldier came from the city walls.
Lu Bu listened and nodded. It seems that he wants to give Sun Ce some color to see, otherwise Sun Ce really thinks that he wants to pinch and poke the circle at will: "How much grain has not been shipped away?" ”
"Expected tomorrow." Chen Yu said.
"Okay, if we can't finish it tomorrow, except for the grain left for Chen Deng, the remaining grain, grass and ships will be burned. Tomorrow night, let Zhang Hu and Gao Chao build a pontoon bridge in Fuling to pick me up and cross the river. "Huailing City had to give up, and Lu Bu's grip on it would only drag the progress of Shouchun into attack.
"By the way, send someone to tell Xu Shu, don't let Lu Xun run away." Lu Bu was a little afraid that Lu Xun would run away, so he emphasized again. After arranging everything, go straight to the bow camp.
The soldiers of the archery battalion were all sitting on their horses and ready to go.
"Dismount!" Lu Bugao snorted. When you are still in the city, you will ride a war horse, and when you really meet the enemy in a short battle, the war horse is tired, how can you gallop?
"Out of the city to meet the enemy." Lu Bu led the red rabbit horse and took the lead towards the outside of the camp, the physical strength of the red rabbit horse actually did not need Lu Bu to save so much, but he had to set an example. Twenty people lined up behind him, and the training for a few days has achieved initial results, and the horizontal and vertical arrangements are quite neat.
Lu Bu looked back at the disguised Takahashi saddle and the stirrups covered with linen, as long as the other party did not catch his own war horse, it would be difficult to discover the mystery and rest assured.
The gates slowly opened.
Two miles outside the city gate, there was a large array of more than 3,000 people, and there were many feathers and armor. The tall and heavy shield of a person in front of the large array reflected the sunlight, which was a little dazzling.
Xu Yi saw the city gate open, and rows of cavalry came out, their palms were sweating, and the infantry was vulnerable in front of the horses. Xu Yi asked Deng Dang, Sima Wei of the other department beside him, "Does Lu Bu want to tear up the alliance?" ”
Deng Dang shook his head, saying that he didn't know what Lu Bu meant, and silently counted the number of Lu Bu's cavalry in his heart.
As soon as Lu Bu's cavalry left the city, the city gate behind him slowly closed.
Xu Yi saw that the city gate was closed, and Lu Bu had no intention of letting them enter the city to search at all, so he angrily beat his horse and came to the front of the formation, pointing to the closed city gate and Lu Bu's cavalry brigade and scolded: "What does Feng Xiangong mean by this?" ”
Lu Bu's voice was very cold, and the dragon tongue bow pointed at Xu Yi: "I also want to know what Sun Ce means!" Tearing up the covenant for no reason, violating my city, and I am raising a benevolent and righteous army to protect my family and defend the country, is it still wrong? ”
"The enemy general Chen Deng fled into Huailing City, and the general was ordered to come to search, didn't Feng Xiangong agree?" Xu Yiyue said, the more they felt that they couldn't open their mouths, they originally planned to find an excuse to prevaricate Lu Bu, that is, when Lu Bu did not agree, and then the army pressed the border and forcibly seized Huailing City, but they didn't expect Lu Bu to agree to their rude request, and they didn't know what Lu Bu thought at all.
"What a joke, who is Chen Deng? How would they beg Ben for refuge? Lu Bu sneered, this kind of pretending to be confused was really tired, he was too lazy to buckle his top hat with Xu Yi, turned around and said, "Get on the horse." ”
Under Lu Bu's order, a thousand soldiers neatly turned over their horses and took out their bows and arrows.
"Lu Bu! Are you going to tear up the covenant? Xu Yi broke out in a cold sweat. Lu Bu is all cavalry, how can his infantry resist?
"I didn't tear up the alliance, and the alliance with Sun Ce is still valid. Now it's just to help Sun Ce teach a lesson to the disobedient lackeys. I heard a report from someone that you scolded me behind my back, I can't take a beating to dissipate my anger, and I don't mind if I think Sun Ce comes. "Since you want to find a reason for being lame, Lu Bu will too. Only by countering Sun Ce with lame reasons will Sun Ce reconsider the alliance between the two sides.
Xu Yi listened to Lu Bu's words, his face turned green, this Lu Bu's rogue aura is more than the demeanor of a famous general.
Deng Dang saw that Xu Yi was crazy, ran forward and grabbed Xu Yi's horse, and said: "Don't worry, general, I just counted, the cavalry of Lu Bu's army is less than 1,000, and the general has been waiting for a long time." It is unknown whether Lu Bu can break through the large array of our army. ”
Deng Dang turned his head and pointed to the deep and strict battle formation, turned around and pointed to Lu Bu's cavalry and said: "General, please see, Lu Bu's soldiers have abandoned heavy weapons such as horse lances and spears, and are armed with curved bows and scimitars at their waists, all of which carry arrows. As long as the general defeats Lu Bu's cavalry, it is not difficult to capture the city. ”
Xu Yi nodded, there were very few soldiers who could shoot arrows on running horses, and most of the cavalry turned around to shoot arrows only after stopping their horses. If you want to shoot while running, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Bu, a cavalry with small arms and legs, to do it, even if you are a nomadic herder who grew up on horseback, only a very small number of brute soldiers can run and shoot at the same time.
"Get ready." Xu Yi was frightened by Lu Buwei's name, and was reminded by Deng Dang that he was full of confidence. Le Ma separated from the big array and walked in, he would not fight with Lu Bu, it was no different from looking for death.
"The Long Snake Formation." Lu Bu gave an order. Only a long snake formation can ensure that the soldiers on the edge of the large array shoot into the Jiangdong large array.
I saw that the soldiers under him were in a mess, mixed together. When the Jiangdong soldiers saw that Lu Bu's cavalry gave an order from Lu Bu, the entire very neat array was chaotic, crowded with people, and horses squeezed into horses: "Hahaha..."
Including Xu Yi, the entire Jiangdong array laughed, and when the laughter was enough, Xu Yi raised his spear: "Prepare to snatch the war horse." ”
"What's going on?" Lu Bu turned around and said angrily. When training, the vertical and horizontal are neat, why can't it be done as soon as you go to the battlefield.
Lu Bu looked back and found that it was not the soldier who was to blame, but to him. He arranged his cavalry archers according to the cavalry in his previous memory, the previous cavalry needed to be closely aligned to break through the enemy formation, and the archers, on the contrary, needed loose formations to facilitate running and timely U-turns.
"Spread it all out." Lu Bu commanded the soldiers to abandon the battle formation and scatter in all directions, and before he could disperse the soldiers, Xu Yi's large array let out a neat shout: "Ho ho ho..."
The Jiangdong soldiers hid behind the big shield and pressed over, and their neat steps were amazing.
"Xiao Xiong rode out of the ranks and met the enemy freely." Lu Bu sent Xiao Xiong to contain the Jiangdong array that pressed up, and he needed to re-command the soldiers of the archery battalion to come out at a certain interval before the formation.
"Ready!" Xu Yi saw that Lu Bu's chaotic large array flanked a two-hundred-man cavalry, spears raised. As soon as he gave the order, the archers in the middle of the large array pointed their arrows into the sky, and only waited for the Xiao Xiong cavalry to enter the firing range before throwing and killing the enemy.
Xiao Xiong led the cavalry to run slowly, began to warm up the war horses, and slowly approached the Jiangdong array.
"Shoot randomly!" The speed of the war horse reached the fastest, Xiao Xiong gave an order, and fired arrows towards the Jiangdong large array beyond an arrow, and two hundred arrows were shot at the Jiangdong soldier array, and only a very small number of powerful cavalry shot into the Jiangdong large array, and the damage caused was negligible.
Xiao Xiong led the cavalry in an "S" shaped route, brushing the edge of the Jiangdong formation, and never entered the range of the Jiangdong infantry and continued to gallop forward. With the help of the horse's running inertia, he slowly adjusted his range: "Shoot again." ”
With the test just now, this shot was much more effective than the previous one, and most of the bows and arrows were shot into the Jiangdong Great Array.
"Raise your shield." Xu Yi didn't have time to think about the question of how Lu Bu's cavalry could shoot arrows on galloping horses, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to block the arrows flying in the air.
