Chapter 70: Trapping

Trapped in the camp, one of the three elites under Lu Bu, with a number of 700 and 1,000 people, an invincible iron army trained by Gao Shun.

The state army withdrew towards Luoyang like a tide, Guo Yan and others naturally would not let Lu Bu retreat safely, and were about to lead the army to pursue, but a different army appeared in front of them.

They are different because these soldiers are all in iron armor, but they hold different weapons.

Some are armed with halberds, some are armed with long knives and giant shields, and some are armed with crossbows and axes on their backs.

Its armor looks like an elite army, but its weapons look like a patchwork army.

"It's a trap." Guo Yan's face condensed slightly.

Lu Bu had been in Dong Zhuo's army for a while, and the generals of Xiliang had naturally heard of the reputation of the three elites in Lu Bu's hands, but except for Lu Bu's personal guard Xuantie Wolf Cavalry, they had not seen the other two elite combat forces, they had only heard of them.

"The crossbow is divided into three columns of flat fire." Gao Shun ordered.

"Whoosh, whoosh" More than 100 crossbow arrows flew towards the Xiliang Army with a sound that pierced the air.

There are too many Xiliang troops, too dense, these crossbow arrows are very powerful, they can penetrate the soldiers wearing leather armor and then kill one person before they are exhausted, and this round of crossbow arrows killed and injured more than 200 people.

These soldiers were just a drop in the bucket for the Xiliang Army, and they only delayed its offensive a little.

All Gao Shun had to do was delay, no matter how powerful his trapping array was, it would be impossible to defeat a hundredfold enemy.

Guo Yan was not easy to follow, and ordered: "The iron cavalry raids the two wings of the enemy. ”

"Hmph, want to procrastinate? Even if you Lu Bu flees back to Luoyang City, it is just the difference between early death and late death, today I will cut off your Lu Bu's arm first, so that you can die slowly in pain. Guo Yan said fiercely.

The galloping momentum of thousands of cavalry shook the earth, and two black torrents diverted out of the Xiliang army formation, and attacked towards both sides of the trapping formation in a roundabout way.

"Square and round formation, sword and shield in front, halberd in the back, crossbowman in the center, meet the cavalry on both wings." Gao Shun decisively changed the formation.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like a tide, and the camp formation is like a reef.

The "boom" tide washed towards the reef.

The neighing of horses and the wailing of soldiers resounded throughout the battlefield.

A Xiliang iron cavalry raised the spear in his hand and stabbed at a trapping soldier, but the attack was blocked by the shield, and then a halberd poked out from behind the shield to kill him, but the horse castrated non-stop, and hit the giant shield fiercely, and the trapping soldier holding the giant shield was hit back two steps, but he gritted his teeth and stood up, and the person did not fall and did not let go of the giant shield in his hand.

But there were too many Xiliang Iron Riders, and they were washed over and over again, and the giant shield hands in the camp were all strong people, and they gradually felt that their physical strength was exhausted, and the arms holding the shield began to tremble violently, which was a precursor to the end of their strength.

At this time, the Xiliang infantry also fought in front of the trapping formation under the rain of crossbow arrows, and Gao Shun knew that they were surrounded.

Gao Shun didn't hate Lu Bu and let him break the queen, it is necessary for the strong man to break his wrist when the battlefield is unfavorable, and Gao Shun can also see the situation of the two armies, if the battle continues and the state army will be in danger of annihilation, how can we talk about hegemony in the world at that time?

Only Gao Shun's trapping array can block the Xiliang soldiers at this time, because the trapping array is both offensive and defensive, and although Zhang Liao's assault warriors have strong attack power, they are only suitable for rushing to kill the enemy, and are not suitable for delaying the enemy.

Gao Shun has known Lu Bu since the time of the annexation of the state, and admires his bravery, and Lu Bu also appreciates his ability to train and command troops, and the two soon became friends, so he will unconditionally support all of Lu Bu's actions.

The previous Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan, he Gao Shun followed, and then Lu Bu wanted to stand on his own to take the world, he Gao Shun followed, at this time Lu Bu was not conducive to the war and withdrew to Luoyang, this time he Gao Shun could not follow.

"Fengxian, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow you in the future." Gao Shun muttered.

"The will to fall into battle, there is death but no life." Gao Shun raised the spear in his hand and shouted the slogan of the trapping camp.

"The will to fall into battle, there is death but no life." The rest of the soldiers in the camp all followed Gao Shun and shouted.

From Gao Shun to the soldiers, the entrapment array gave birth to a sense of seeing death as home, and the battlefield was filled with a sad atmosphere.

"Haha, there is death and no life, this time you really have death and no life." Guo Yan laughed.

Just when Guo Yan wanted to order the soldiers to step up the offensive, his own rear army was a little chaotic.

"What's going on?" Guo Yan wondered.

After a while, Fan Chou patted his horse in front of Guo Yan and said: "Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly attacked in the rear of our army, and the banner was Cao Cao, and the rear army was a little unable to resist the enemy. ”

"Cao Cao!" Guo Yan hatefully forgot to glance at the trapping array, the trapping array is now less than two hundred, but he forced himself to press down on the mind to exterminate it, at this time, the trapping camp sprouts life and death, all of them seem to have added a lot of strength, although there are many Xiliang troops, it is really difficult to kill them all for a while.

"Pass the order and withdraw the troops first." There is no way, the rear army is attacked, if Lu Bu learns the news and goes out of the city again to form a two-sided attack, it will be greatly disadvantageous to the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army slowly retreated, Cao Cao did not pursue, he just started to kill the Xiliang army by surprise, after killing a lot of Xiliang soldiers, he found that the enemy army slowly stabilized his position, Cao Cao was also shocked by the combat strength of these Xiliang soldiers, and saw that they were no longer fighting and retreated, and they were afraid that they would have a follow-up move, so they did not order a pursuit.

Gao Shun, who thought that he was going to die, and the soldiers who were trapped in the camp were very happy, they were not afraid of death, but who wanted to die?

At this time, Lu Bu, who heard that Cao Cao's reinforcements were coming, really led the Bingzhou army out of the city again, as Guo Yan thought, but he was a step late, and the Xiliang army had already retreated.

Gao Shun patted his horse in front of Cao Cao, dismounted and gave a deep salute and said, "Gao Shun thanks General Cao for saving my life in the camp." ”

Lu Bu also knew that if Cao Cao hadn't come in time, Gao Shun would probably have died, so he also drove the red rabbit horse forward, dismounted with a solemn face and hugged his fists and said: "General Bu Xie Guo saved my soldiers regardless of his previous suspicions, and he was offended many times before, and it was all Bu's fault." ”

What Lu Bu said was, of course, the defeat of Cao Cao, who had been killed before, if it weren't for his subordinates desperately saving him, Cao Cao would have been left there by Lu Bu that time.

At this time, Lu Bu can also be regarded as the person who rescued the driver, and he still needs to contribute to resist the Xiliang army, Cao Cao will not be embarrassed by him, and waved his hand and said: "Wenhou doesn't need to be like this, there is no need to mention the past, at this time we can be regarded as having a common enemy." ”

Cao Cao didn't think so, but Gao Shun and the camp formation didn't think so.

Lu Bu apologized, in the eyes of the soldiers of Bingzhou, Lu Bu was an arrogant head wolf, they had never seen Lu Bu bow his head, and when he defected to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo did not dare to despise him because of his heavy troops and his own bravery.

Lu Bu didn't bow his head to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo didn't reuse him, he Lu Bu rebelled, there was no patience at all, this was Lu Bu.

But at this time, he bowed his head to Cao Cao for the sake of his soldiers, and Gao Shun did not look down on Lu Bu because of this, they were only moved at this time, and it was worth following such a person!
