(19) To solve the dilemma, Li Ru offered advice, and Ma Tie, a strong fighting force, died

In the woods, Zhao Yun raised his gentian gun and shouted: "The enemy will leave and eat me with a shot!" Ye Yuanduo didn't dare to answer in front of him, but dragged the big knife ******** to escape, and suddenly a few stumbling ropes were set up in the air under the horse, and Ye Yuanduo was caught off guard and planted headlong on the horse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw Pang De holding the tiger-headed golden knife and jumped in front of Ye Yuanduo, flew up and knocked away the goose ring knife in Ye Yuanduo's hand, and then raised his foot and stepped on Ye Yuanduo to the ground, and the guards around him quickly stepped forward with ropes and tied Ye Yuanduo up. Zhao Yun intended to give this great achievement to Pang De, who had just joined the army, so he waited in the distance for Pang De to finish everything before he came slowly, and hugged his fists and congratulated: "Congratulations to General Pang, I have made this great achievement when I just arrived in the army, and Zilong is here to congratulate the general." ”

I saw Pang De give Zhao Yun a big gift back, and said with great emotion: "If it weren't for the general's insistence on giving in, how could Ling Ming make such a great achievement!" Zhao Yun waved his hand on the horse, and laughed loudly: "Ling Ming's martial arts are outstanding, it's not a problem to capture a little Ye Yuanduo, okay, let's go back to the city quickly, the military division is still waiting for us!" Seeing this, Pang De knew that Zhao Yun was open-minded, so he hid his gratitude in his heart and didn't say more, and the two of them escorted Ye Yuanduo to Tianshui City together.

While they were marching, the two suddenly met the military advisor Chen Gong and the deputy vanguard Xu Huang were retreating in the direction of Chang'an with the military horses of Bingzhou. Zhao Yun hurriedly blocked the road and asked: "Military Division, why don't you stay overnight in Tianshui, but withdraw to Chang'an overnight" Chen Gong replied with a smile: "Zilong doesn't know, most of the soldiers and horses in Tianshui City, grain and grass utensils have all been snatched out by us, and the lord has already secretly ordered General Zhang Liao and General Gao Shun to respond in Chang'an and transfer this batch of materials back to Bingzhou as quickly as possible." Listening to Chen Gong's words, Pang De couldn't help but admire Lu Bu more and more in his heart, this plan is so meticulous and scored, I am afraid that only Lu Bu can do it alone.

"Two generals, you immediately take the soldiers and horses to Tianshui to stabilize Dong Zhuo, and you must not let him perceive the general's plan before the army leaves Tianshui." Chen Gong instructed. Zhao Yun and the others clasped their fists and said: "The military rest assured, the last general will not be dishonored!" As he spoke, he took his own soldiers and horses and galloped towards Tianshui City. Chen Gong looked at the backs of the two of them, nodded with satisfaction, and thought in his heart: This kind of heroic Lu Bu can be controlled so easily and casually, it seems that this person will not live under the people for too long!

In the warehouse of Tianshui City, Dong Zhuo pointed at Niu Fu and scolded: "Useless things, you can't defend a city!" Where are all the supplies in this city? ”

Niu Fu lowered his head and didn't even dare to make a sound, seeing Niu Fu's appearance, Dong Zhuo became even more angry, and immediately pulled out his sword and aimed it at Niu Fu's head: "Since you are so useless, what are you doing with this head!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to cut it off, but Hua Xiong on the side hurriedly grabbed Dong Zhuo and persuaded each other bitterly: "My lord, for the sake of General Niu's desperate battle to break through the city gate, you can spare him this time!" "My lord, now is the time to employ people, how can adults destroy the Great Wall?" While speaking, a scholar with a weak figure and a sharp voice walked out, Dong Zhuo pointed at the scholar and shouted angrily, "Who are you?" ”

I saw the scholar clasping his fists with both hands, saluting Dong Zhuo and saying: "Student Li Ru, I have seen Lord Dong with the word Wenyou, and I heard that the Lord lost in Tianshui, so I brought 50,000 lions to serve the Lord in Xia. Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but wonder: "Where did you, a weak scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, bring 50,000 lions from?" Li Ru smiled slightly, pointed to the west and said: "The traitors on the opposite side have been in trouble since the coalition army, the Qiang army and the Han army have repeatedly disobeyed each other, and the 50,000 horses under the Yamen general Li Dao and Guo Yan have been fighting with the Qiang army for many years, although the combat effectiveness is strong, but the behavior of the Qiang army is extremely disgusted. There are also fierce generals like General Huaxiong in charge, and then gradually annex Liangzhou and use it as a foundation for development. ”

Although Dong Zhuo still can't fully believe Li Ru, there are only a few thousand people left in his army, and if he wants to recover quickly in a short time, he can only give it a go. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered someone to prepare pen and ink to write a chicken claw planing the ground

After "heartfelt words", he handed it to Li Ru with both hands: "Sir, everything is please." He probably didn't expect that it was his inadvertent move that made Li Ru mistakenly think that Dong Zhuo was a corporal of Lixian, and immediately made up his mind to be loyal to Dong Zhuo, and bowed down to Dong Zhuo and said, "Thank you for your trust!" ”

"Master Dong!" Zhao Yun rushed over, "Lord Dong, the last general is here to bid farewell to your lord!" ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo asked with some doubts: "The general has just gone through a day of fierce battles, why don't you rest for a while, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow?" I saw Zhao Yun smile slightly, and said solemnly: "General Pound captured the enemy general Ye Yuanduo in the woods outside the city, and we will immediately escort him to the camp of the Wuwei coalition army and hand it over to Lord Huangfu Song." Seeing that such a great achievement was robbed by the state army, Dong Zhuo was unwilling to say anything, so he could only envy, jealousy and hatred in vain, only to see Dong Zhuo be silent for a long time, and then he hugged his fists and said to Zhao Yun: "Since the general insists on leaving, the general will not dare to stay, but it is a pity that there are only thousands of remnants left in my Tianshui in this vicious battle, and the fact that the chaos is powerless, and I ask the general to return to the coalition camp to explain the reason to Lord Huangfu Song." Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, then turned the horse's head and returned to Wuwei with his own iron horse.

Looking at the majestic and powerful Bingzhou army, Dong Zhuo frowned, and imprinted the name Lu Bu deeply in his mind, he looked at the west with hope, thinking of the 50,000 lions that Li Ru said in his mouth, Dong Zhuo paused, and looked sharply at the direction of Wuwei: "Lu Bu, who will kill the deer is unknown!" ”

In the Wuwei battalion, Lu Bu, Huangfu Song, Sun Jian, Ma Teng and other generals were discussing the next battle plan, and the scout outside the door suddenly came to report: "Report to the generals, Liang Yuanbi, the general of the Qiang army, brought back 5,000 iron chariot soldiers from outside the pass, and will arrive at the Jincheng battlefield in a few days." ”

Ma Teng, who had lived at the border for a long time, heard the scout's report, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn. Although he was proficient in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu still had to pretend to ask: "General Ma, you have lived in the border for a long time, do you know what kind of army this iron chariot soldier is!" "Yes! General Ma, tell us all about it! Sun Jian also spoke: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles!" Ma Teng nodded, turned around and whispered a few words in Ma Chao's ear, and Ma Chao retreated. After a while, Ma Chao walked over with a pair of ash-covered scrolls in both hands.

"Generals, this is left to Shoucheng by his deceased wife Yi Yun'er." As he spoke, Ma Teng's guards spread out the scroll in the lobby, and everyone looked intently, only to see a samurai drawn on the scroll with a miniature chariot in his hand, which was about twice as large as a wheelbarrow, and the front of the cart was covered with sharp special short knives, and the wheels were also equipped with sharp spears on both sides. The shape of the body resembles a human face with a sunken forehead, and a hard crossbow is placed in the depression, all of which to Lu Bu looks like a tank in modern warfare. Ma Teng pointed to the Qiang characters and pictures on the scroll and introduced: "The deceased wife Yi Yun'er, proficient in archery and horses, did not taste defeat in the desert in her early years, and was a famous female general in the Qiang army. According to the deceased wife, this iron chariot soldier was wrapped with iron leaves and nailed, with a hard crossbow, ten pots of crossbow arrows, a scimitar, and a number of grain and grass; You can block arrows from afar and counterattack with a hard crossbow, and at close range, you can use a scimitar to defend against enemies. On weekdays, camels or mules and horses are used to carry them, and since the beginning of the formation, there is no shortage of thousands of miles, and there is no defeat in a hundred battles. ”

Huangfu Song sat on the chair with some confusion: "I can't imagine that the Qiang army still has such a strong force, it seems that it is impossible to end the war in a short time." Sun Jian picked up the wine glass and took a sip, angrily slammed the wine glass on the table, and said hatefully: "Most of my Jiangdong disciples are foot soldiers, and it is difficult to show their skills in the face of the Qiang army protected by iron shield vehicles!" ”

"Guys, give up, don't lose your momentum. When has my big man ever been afraid of these tartars? Lu Bu took a leisurely sip of tea, which was a rule he had set for himself after learning the lessons of his previous life, that is, he would never drink alcohol on weekdays except for large banquets. Ma Teng, who had long regarded Lu Bu as the savior of Liangzhou, listened to Lu Bu's words, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Bu with hope: "General, don't you have a way to break the enemy?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lu Bu in unison. Lu Bu put down the teacup and pointed in the direction of Chang'an: "Three thousand strong teams, they set off five days ago, and they should be there soon!" ”

"Report!" I saw the scout outside the door panting and running in again: "Report to the generals, I just found a small group of enemy guerrillas in the north of the city is plundering villages and towns, and the two generals Ma Xiu and Ma Tie have gone out of the city with two thousand cavalry. After listening to the scout's report, Lu Bu's right eyelid suddenly jumped, turned over and crossed the table in front of him, casually picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd on the weapon rack next to him and shouted, "The Praetorian Guard Light Cavalry of the Headquarters will immediately set off with me." ”

Outside the city, in the village of Canaan, the murderous Qiang army had already set fire to the dozen or so thatched huts left in the village, and the moans of the dying and the cries of women echoed throughout the village.

"Bold thief, Xiliang Ma Xiu is here!" While galloping on his horse, Ma Xiu raised his hard bow and fired several arrows left and right in a row, shooting several **** strong Qiang soldiers around a ragged woman to the ground, and the guards around him quickly rushed into the front line and rushed into the village.

Ma Tie swung his spear and slammed one of the enemy soldiers in front of him off his horse, and raised his spear to stab two Qiang soldiers with long knives under his horse. Seeing this, Liang Yuanbi in front of him swept the pair of copper hammers that Qiang Wang Ye Wudai had just given him and smashed them head-on with Ma Tie. Ma Tie, who wanted to prove that his bravery was no less than that of his eldest brother Ma Chao, was fearless in the face of Liang Yuanbi, who was several times stronger than himself, and raised his spear and shouted angrily. Liang Yuanbi suffered a big loss under Ma Chao before, and today he plans to sprinkle his grievances on Ma Tie.

The two were entangled for forty or fifty rounds, and Ma Tie couldn't stop Liang Yuanbi's brute force, and his marksmanship began to be messy. Seeing this in the distance, Ma Xiu immediately picked up his spear and joined the battle group, perhaps it was difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, or Liang Yuanbi's physical strength was exhausted, after Ma Xiu participated in the battle, Liang Yuanbi was obviously at a disadvantage, and fought again for more than ten rounds, Liang Yuanbi was defeated by the brothers and fled.

"Brother and slow!" Ma Xiu grabbed Ma Tie's reins and dissuaded, "Now that the enemy army has retreated, and our goal has been achieved, let's quickly withdraw to Wuwei!" Seeing that Liang Yuanbi, the general of the Qiang army, was obviously no match for himself, how could Ma Tie give up, only to see him break free from Ma Xiu and whip the war horse fiercely: "Liang Yuanbi is the general of the enemy army, if he can be captured, it will be a great credit, and the father of the province boasts all day long about how the eldest brother supports the faΓ§ade of the Ma family!" For a long time, the eldest brother Ma Chao has always been the object that the two of them want to surpass, and now it is effortless to catch Liang Yuanbi, and Ma Xiu is also moved, and then urges the war horse to follow Ma Tie out of the village and go straight to the west.

The two brothers pursued for more than 200 miles, and Liang Yuanbi in front of them suddenly stopped, turned around and pointed at the two and said, "Huangkou Xiaoer, today is the death date you are waiting for!" With that, he picked up the brass hammer again and rushed towards the two brothers.

Ma Tie, who was despised in his heart, sneered, the spear in his hand had not yet been raised, and Liang Yuanbi's war horse had arrived, and Ma Xiu, who came later, only saw Liang Yuanbi with both hands raised high and hit Ma Tie in the temple with a hammer on his head, and Ma Tie was knocked off the horse before he even screamed. Ma Xiu, who was angry, forgot to calm down, picked up a hard bow and shot a few arrows at Liang Yuanbi, but he didn't notice that more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers pushing iron shield carts around him had already surrounded him.

Liang Yuanbi saw that the enemy army had been surrounded, so he stopped fighting with Ma Xiu, turned around and cut off Ma Tie's head and returned to his own position, pointing at Ma Xiu from a distance and shouting: "Barbarian, you have fallen into a heavy siege, and you will not surrender!" ”

"Soldiers, form a battle formation and fight with the generals to fight their way out of the encirclement!" Seeing that he had put his soldiers in danger by his carelessness, although he knew in his heart that he could not act rashly at this time, he had to break out of the encirclement with bloody spirit, so he raised his spear and shouted, "Long live the big man, rush!" As he spoke, he rushed to the enemy formation first, and the soldiers behind him saw that the Lord would be so brave and fearless, and they were not greedy for life or fear of death at the moment, shouting "Live and die together" and rushed forward with Matthew.

Liang Yuanbi sneered and looked at Ma Xiu, and muttered softly: "Don't measure yourself!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the herald beside him, and the herald understood, turned around and waved the black command flag in his hand.

Seeing that the enemy was already within range of the projectile, Matthew shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" The more than 2,000 cavalry behind him immediately raised their crossbows and fired a rain of arrows at the enemy formation. In the past, even if the enemy had an iron shield to protect him, the perfect parabola launched by the cavalry during the leap could also bypass the iron shield and kill the enemy, but the situation in front of him made Ma Xiu stunned. I saw that the iron chariot soldiers in a circle squatted down one after another, took out their shields from the iron chariots, blocked them above their heads, and slowly compressed the space for the enemy's activities in the circle while shouting the trumpet. Matthew saw a large number of crossbow arrows blocked by the iron leaf wrapped body and the soldier's shield, and after a crackling sound, the iron charioter leaned towards him almost unscathed.

"Son, you have to remember that if you encounter a Qiang soldier pushing an iron shield cart on the battlefield in the future, then you must be careful." The mother's loving voice echoed in his ears again, and Ma Xiu muttered blankly: "Iron chariot soldiers, iron chariot soldiers...... The guards around him stepped forward and kept shaking Ma Xiu's shoulders: "General, general, the enemy is coming, ......" Before the words fell, more than two thousand iron chariots flew out of a rain of arrows, and the cavalry of the Ma family army, who only had spears and bows and arrows, fell off their horses without any parrying power, and the guard who was blocking in front of Ma Xiu did not finish speaking, so he sprayed a mouthful of blood on Ma Xiu's face and fell under the horse.

This mouthful of blood woke up Matthew, he didn't care about wiping it, and hurriedly raised his spear and shouted: "Soldiers, rush out of this barrier to survive, follow me!" The desire to survive stimulated the great potential of the soldiers of the Ma family, and they howled and rushed towards the white barrier, in a vain attempt to open a gap by brute force, but the reality once again disappointed them, and the long steel casting knives in front of the iron chariot forced them to stop in front of the car, but when they just tightened the reins of their horses, the spears on the opposite side stabbed mercilessly, and the horses fell to the battlefield screaming, and their owners fell down with them. These horsemen, who had lost their horses, closed their eyes in despair as they looked at the wheels of the oncoming iron chariots......

Seeing that he was anxious in his eyes, how could Matthew have encountered such a sinister situation since he was in the army? On weekdays, there is a father who strategizes, and there is a big brother who charges into battle, and he and Ma Tie only need to wave the flag and shout behind the two of them. But now under the siege of the iron chariot soldiers, the helpless Ma Tie could only watch the elite soldiers he trained fall in a row like this, he closed his eyes in pain, just for a moment, Ma Xiu suddenly felt a neighing of the war horse under his crotch, and actually fell to the left front, and Ma Xiu was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Holding down the bleeding wound on his forehead with his hand, Matthew saw that the iron chariot soldiers had been mixed with his own troops, and the two iron chariots cooperated with each other to violently ram the horses from both directions, and when the cavalry fell to the ground, the opponent's spears were immediately extended.

Matthew grabbed a spear that was stabbed at him with his backhand, raised his right hand and snapped the spear with a loud shout, then jumped over an iron cart and plunged the half-cut spear into the neck of the iron charioteer.

"Brothers, repay the country with death and line up!" With an earth-shattering scream, the remaining hundreds of Han soldiers raised their weapons in their hands to form a circle to protect Matthew in the center, although they were afraid of life and death, they still glared at the iron chariot soldiers who surrounded them. Liang Yuanbi shouted: "Barbarians, you are not the opponent of my iron chariot soldiers, I admire you are all warriors who are not afraid of death, surrender!" Ma Xiu laughed a few times and said: "My Ma family has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations since the beginning of General Fubo's Ma Yuan, and the number of deaths in the war for the country is innumerable, so what's the harm if I have more Ma Xiu?" Brothers, rush! ”

"General Fenwei Lu Bu is here." Before Ma Xiu's words fell, Liang Yuanbi saw from a distance that an iron shield car weighing hundreds of catties was thrown straight into the air, falling into the military formation like a heavy bomb, and immediately smashed several iron shield cars, and dozens of soldiers were smashed on the spot and returned to the west.

"And the state army listens to the order, and the human shield covers to ensure the withdrawal of friendly troops!" With tears in his eyes, Lu Bu rushed towards the encirclement and ordered the eight hundred guards behind him to ride lightly, he knew very well in his heart that once this order was issued, these eight hundred strong men would have no chance of survival.

With Lu Bu's order, eight hundred soldiers jumped off their horses and ran forward with Lu Bu. Every time Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd to pick up an iron shield car, they immediately grabbed the sharp blade in front of the new iron shield car that was coming towards them with both hands, regardless of the blood on their hands, they shouted and resisted the iron shield car to prevent it from taking a step forward, and soon, these eight hundred strong men used their hands to open a life passage more than ten steps wide in the encirclement. Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's halberd and lifted an iron shield car into the air again, and quickly rushed to Ma Xiu's side. Behind Lu Bu, two guards immediately rushed up against the two oncoming iron shield carts, and stood in place with blood in their mouths and angry drinks.

"General Ma, don't fall in love with the war, evacuate quickly, I will cut off the state army for you." Lu Bu jumped off the red rabbit horse, took Ma Xiu's hand and said, seeing that Lu Bu gave up the war horse, the eight hundred soldiers of the Bingzhou Army on foot whistled one after another, and the war horses on the periphery immediately rushed into the formation and stopped beside every soldier of the Ma Family.

The situation was urgent, and Lu Bu didn't care about Ma Xiu's nonsense, raised his left hand and grabbed Ma Xiu's belt and shouted, "Go up!" "He actually threw Matthew on the red rabbit horse. Looking at Chitu, who was panting and unwilling to leave, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd to block the three iron shield cars that rushed over, turned to Chitu and said, "If you want to save me, hurry up and bring him back to Wuwei, otherwise I won't leave!" Fast! Hearing Lu Bu's loud shout, Chitu raised his front hooves high and ran towards Wuwei to raise dust. The rest of the soldiers of the Ma family army didn't have time to thank them, and they jumped on their horses and followed the red rabbit horse towards Wuwei.

The seriously wounded soldiers of the Bingzhou Army could no longer resist the impact of the iron shield car, and in order to cover the last soldier of the Ma Jiajun Army to break out of the encirclement, they shouted: "Die for the general, there is no regret in this life!" "Crash your body into the oncoming Iron Shield Car. With tears in their eyes, Ma Xiu and the others couldn't bear to look back at the tragic battlefield, and they all whipped heavily on the war horse and accelerated towards Wuwei.

"Ahhhh Tears burst out of Lu Bu's eyes, he lifted the strength of his arms and thousands of catties, let out a roar, and then his hands were raised upward, and the three iron shield carts were actually overturned in the air together, and the god-like courage made the Qiang soldiers stop and stand in place one after another. I didn't expect Lu Bu to have such divine power, and at a certain moment Liang Yuanbi had the idea of retreating, but when he saw that the eight hundred and state troops fell in front of his iron chariot soldiers without exception, his heart seemed to ignite a burst of hope: "Even if he is born with divine power, I still have more than 3,000 iron chariot soldiers, no matter how fierce the overlord of Western Chu is, won't he die in the chaos of the army?" Thinking of this, Liang Yuanbi waved a pair of copper hammers and rushed towards Lu Bu.

"Just in time!" I saw that Lu Bu's figure remained unchanged, raised Fang Tian's halberd and ran towards the war horse under Liang Yuanbi's crotch, Liang Yuanbi didn't expect that Lu Bu's speed after picking more than ten iron shield cars was still so fast, and he was caught off guard for a while and was overturned to the ground with the war horse. How can Lu Bu give up if he succeeds? Then he turned over and crossed the corpse of the war horse, and hit Liang Yuanbi's head with a halberd.

Lu Bu poked Fang Tian's halberd to the ground, startling thousands of iron chariot soldiers to retreat. Lu Bu was unprepared that someone would sneak attack him, so he walked to Liang Yuanbi's side with his head held high, untied the head of Ma Tie tied to Liang Yuanbi's waist, and wrapped it in a cloak. Immediately, he turned over and pulled out Fang Tian's painting halberd and said to everyone: "Come on! ”

"Woohoo! Woooooo Not far away, there was the sound of the horn horn specially made by the Bingzhou Army, and from a distance, Lu Bu saw the vanguard banner embroidered with the word "Zhao", and Zhao Yun, who was dressed in white armor, waved the gentian horn gun with an anxious face and rushed to the front. Seeing the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, the Qiang troops who had lost their main generals fled in the direction of Jincheng one after another, looking at Zhao Yun's figure getting closer and closer, Lu Bu's hand holding Fang Tian's halberd gradually loosened, and he felt the darkness in front of him surging like a tide.
