261 Darkness Chencang
"Now that Chen Qi has been confused by the method of planning according to what the military advisor said, what should I do next?"
Lu Bu's questioning pulled Mao Jue back to reality from thinking. Mao Jue walked to the march map and pointed: "The general is treated, our army Tanma sent a battle report yesterday, in order to prevent our army from attacking Langya, Xu Huangte set up two big villages in the dangerous place on Kaiyang Mountain in the north of Langya City, and Langya is a corner. If you don't break Kaiyang Dazhai, it will be difficult to win Langya. But if you break the village first...... The terrain of Kaiyang Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it launches a strong attack, it is not a problem to suffer heavy casualties, and Xu Huang, who is stationed in Langya, will also look for opportunities to copy the back road of our army. In this way, our army is in danger of annihilation at any time! ”
Lu Bu glanced at the map and said worriedly: "It's not a secret, Bu is also worried about this!" ”
Mao Jue said again: "In order to deal with the solid defense line laid by Xu Huang, Jiu has been thinking hard for a long time and has not found a good plan, so he has to send scouts to investigate around to see if there is any other route to bypass Kaiyang Mountain. The scouts finally found something after half a day, and reported that there was a small road west of our army, and they crossed the Qian River through Hua County and sneaked into the south of Langya City without knowing it. Once there, Xu Huang lost the Kaiyang moat first, and could only rely on the city pass to defend it, and at the same time divided a large number of troops to settle in Kaiyang Dazhai. Both the strength and strength are inferior, so Langya can be determined in one fell swoop! ”
Lu Buxi said: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't the military division arrange for the army to go straight to Langya on a detour? ”
"The reason is simple!" Mao Jue pointed out the general location of the path to Lu Bu on the map, and said: "This road is called the Wolf Road, which is extremely narrow, and only allows 6 people to pass shoulder to shoulder at the widest point. Both sides are dense forests and high mountains, and it is easy to ambush soldiers. Most of Xu Huang's tents are people who have lived in Xuzhou for a long time, and they must know this trail, and they only need to station thousands of people here to make 20,000 soldiers of our army die without a place to be buried. I didn't dare to put the army at risk, so I didn't respond. Now it's a good thing, Chen Deng actually took the initiative to come to the door in a vain attempt to rebel against the adult. We will plan to paralyze his heart, and then put on a posture of returning to Qingzhou to quickly retreat north, and when it is beyond the reach of Xu Huang's exploration of the horse, we will immediately turn to the west and copy the back road of Langya along the wolf road. Xu Huang categorically didn't expect that we would appear there at this time, with mental calculation or unintentional, Langya is at your fingertips! ”
"Wonderful!" Lu Bu was overjoyed, "Come on, wear my generals, and immediately pull out the village and retreat 300 miles!" ”
As Mao Jue said, after returning to Langya, after Chen Jue's narration, Xu Huang really didn't expect Lu Bu to kill a horse pistol, and thought that Lu Bu really killed Mao Jue and returned to Qingzhou.
After sending a scout horse to confirm that Lu Bu had retreated all the way north and retreated to the south of Yinan, Xu Huang became more and more firm in this idea, and felt that the Langya Kingdom on the east road was no longer worry-free, so he brought 12,000 men and horses from the city back to Xiapi to assist Liu Bei in resisting Luan Yi. Chen Jue alone led less than 8,000 people to garrison Langya.
Before leaving, Xu Huang repeatedly asked Chen Jue if the 8,000 people could keep Langya as solid as a stone, and if they wanted to leave more people?
Chen Qi replied smugly, "Lu Bu has retreated, Langya is worry-free!" 8,000 people is too much, so keep 4,000. The top priority is to help the lord guard Xiapi. ”
Xu Huang then followed his words and transferred another 4,000 troops. And Chen Qi felt that Langya was as stable as Mount Tai, so he withdrew all the 1,000 volts who drove the wolf road.
It was precisely because of this full confidence that when Chen Qi learned that Lu Bu did not return to Qingzhou as he thought, he was so shocked that he sat on the ground and couldn't speak for a long time.
The church guards poured overwhelmingly to the south of the city, dyeing the whole land with silver brilliance, the blood red cross flag was waving in the wind, like snowflakes falling in the silver sky, and the rumbling drums were like thunder on the flat ground, covering Langya City with the haze of war for several days, and the church army was assembled outside Langya City. Lu Bu did not camp either, and directly issued an order to siege the city, "Trap the regiment and go out!" ”
The former trapped camp, now after several expansions, has reached 1,250 people, and has become a standard regimental combat unit. Later, under Lu Bu's special attention, he operated several times, and at the same time, relying on Mao Jue to constantly fight for resources for him, the guards of the trap regiment can be said to be armed to the teeth.
The step armor they wore was the latest design of the Yanzhou Weapons Institute's super armor. The armor was guided by Luan Yi and perfected by Pu Yuan, and there were 1,825 hard nail leaves on the armor, which were made of leather strips and nails. It can protect all parts of the body, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and it can be called the most complete standard heavy armor in the era of cold weapons.
Along with a strong defense, the infantry armor is very heavy. The weight of up to 50 catties makes it difficult for ordinary people to even run in him, let alone fight in battle.
In order to solve this problem, the strongest men among General Lu Bu were all transferred to the trap camp. The daily diet for the trapped camp is also much better than that of other military camps. The treatment of two meat dishes a day made the guards in the other battalions very greedy.
But they are not jealous. The reason why this is so is that the brothers in the camp are really hard to train. Every morning when I get up, I have to carry 50 pounds of iron armor to run ten miles, and when I come back to eat the morning food, I have to go through military exercises and line up in the army. After lunch, practice marksmanship, fighting and other items, and have no leisure from beginning to end. Outsiders looked tired and panicked, not to mention the trap guards on the training ground. Suffering such a great sin all day long, it is also appropriate to eat something good.
It is precisely because of the good foundation, coupled with the fact that he eats well and practices fiercely. The guards of the trapping regiment were all extremely strong, and they were all bearish.
Of course, although they are strong, they cannot always wear heavy armor. Instead, after hearing Lu Bu's order to go out of battle, he picked up his armor from the ground and put it on his body with the help of his companions. The armor is like a silver mountain.
The 1250 trap guards shouted at the same time, signaling that preparations were complete.
Lu Bu estimated the time, from hearing about the generals who went out to the battle, to completing the armor. The guards all completed the wearing of such complex armor in just half a pillar of incense, which shows the strictness of Gao Shun's daily training. He nodded secretly.
"Trap the group, charge the formation!" Gao Shun raised his gun and shouted!
"For the glory of Our Lady." The archbishop of the regiment issued a sacred slogan.
"Ah...... Heaven's Gate. "1,250 trap guards lined up in a neat phalanx and strode towards the southern city wall of Langya. When they were 200 steps away from the city wall, the 150 shield soldiers in the front row raised their shields with shouts of "kill, kill, kill, kill, ......", and the 1,100 guards in the back row drew their swords at the same time, "Drink!" "The blade was bright and bright, reflecting a dazzling cold light. Guards in heavy armor stomped the earth and rumbled, kicking up a cloud of dust. The momentum was so high that before the battle began, the stomach of the Langya guards was frightened, and he wanted to vomit.
Chen Qi, who was supervising the battle at the head of the city, hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows to suppress it, but the rain of arrows in the sky did not have much lethal effect on the sturdy foot armor at all, and it made a crackling sound on the armor, which was simply itching on the skin. Two rounds of arrows fell, and there was not even a single wounded soldier in the trapped regiment.
Chen Qi could only watch as the trapped guards withdrew to the front of the city to distance the deer and horses, and there was no way to lose the distance from the deer and horses, and there was no barrier against the cavalry, Lu Bu waved his hand, "And the state iron cavalry, charge the battle!" ”
Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the iron cavalry of Bingzhou jumped on his horse and raised his whip, "For the glory of the Virgin, kill!" Zhang Liao took the lead and rushed out of the formation.
The 2000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry followed, crossed from the two wings of the trap regiment, and at the same time took off the hard bow from the side of the horse when it was a hundred steps away from Langya City, and shot the arrows, "Buzzing ......" The sound of breaking the strings started, and the arrows crossed the locusts and roared out, and the defenders of the city could not raise their heads. After forcibly holding down the defenders with their bows and arrows, the iron cavalry continued to move forward, gliding in front of the city, while the hundreds of cavalry at the back of the line shouldered a more important mission, successively carrying the sandbags on horseback to the bottom of the city. Then he followed the banner of the main general and roared back, extracted the sandbag again, and killed again.
After four or five trips back and forth, it took more than half an hour to build two hills under the roots of the city with stacks of sandbags.
Chen Qi was shocked when he saw that the earth mountain was getting higher and higher. It won't be long before the earth hill beneath the city will rise to the top of the city wall. By that time, the walls would have become ornaments. "How's that okay?" He really wanted to send people out of the city to take advantage of the efforts of the iron cavalry to transport sand from the state, but when he took another look at the guards who were standing still 80 paces away, he immediately dispelled this idea.
He knew very well that Langya couldn't hold it no matter what. At the same time, Lu Bu's army was killed from the south, cutting off his way back, which made matters worse. In desperation, he had no choice but to open the door and surrender.
Seeing the Langya city gate slowly opened, the banner of the word "Liu" on the head of the city fell one after another. Lu Bu laughed proudly, "Strategist, go, come with me into the city." To be honest, I'd love to see what Chen Jue looked like when he learned that the military advisor was still alive. ”
"General, don't worry!" Mao Jue persuaded Lu Bu to say: "Chen Jue is scheming and a vicious person. I'm afraid there will be fraud in this request. In order to prevent his dog from jumping over the wall and harming the general, if General Gao is allowed to lead the camp into the city first, I will wait and see the situation before taking action. ”
"Eh......" Lu Bu waved his hand, "He has a thousand trajectories that will not work in front of my army, so the military advisor can just rest assured that he will follow me into the city." ”
Mao Jue was right when he thought about it, just like Luan Yi said: In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a paper tiger. He nodded, urging the war horse to follow Lu Bu into the city.
Entering the gatehouse, Lu Bu went straight to find Chen Jue, who was kneeling on the ground and asking for surrender, and showed a triumphant smile on his face, and asked: "Don't drive Chen, don't you come for a few days?" ”
Chen Qi was angry after being fooled, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, "Villain...... Ashamed! ”
"Haha......" Lu Bu laughed heartily, pointed at Mao Jue and said, "Come, let General Ben introduce Chen Beijia." This is my family's military advisor, Mao Xiaoxian, Mao, everyone. ”
"Huh? Aren't you dead? Chen Jue's stomach was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, with sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty tastes, and his facial features became distorted after suffering a variety of negative emotions such as anger and resentment at the same time. It looked like a bubble of, and Lu Bri couldn't stop laughing
