Chapter 21 The three-way crossing is skillfully arranged, and the two armies fight tiger and wolf in front of the formation

Then the above book said that Gongsun Chan and Wen Chou defeated the barbarian general's giant axe Yunake, killed the double-sword general Mu Huan, and won the first victory in the counterinsurgency.

However, this battle showed the weakness of the Han army's combat effectiveness.

Five hundred Han soldiers fought against more than 300 barbarian soldiers, and half of them were killed and wounded.

Gongsun Zhan had to press the camp in the village, and sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to Lu Zhi, waiting for Lu Zhi's army to arrive.

Half a day later, Lu Zhi led a large army to arrive.

Gongsun Zan and Wen Chou came to greet them outside the gate.

Outside the gate, the greeting team of less than 50 people looked a little shabby!

Having just experienced the baptism of blood and death, there is such an invisible murderous aura in these soldiers!

Behind the tall bodies was hidden the tiredness of the war, but at this time, there was a kind of calmness on their faces, staring ahead, quietly looking at the Taishou who came from afar.

"See your lord!" Gongsun Chan led everyone to kneel on the ground.

"Hey! Get up! Lu Zhi looked at the generals in front of him, nodded, and praised, "When you wait for the first battle to win, you should take the first credit!" Gongsun Zhan and Wen Chou, reward you two with 500 yuan; One hundred dollars for the accompanying soldiers; The fallen soldier gave a compassionate payment of 300 dollars! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

……

When the soldiers and horses were settled, Lu Zhi sent a horse to inquire about the news, and then asked Gongsun Zan to lead the way and visit the wounded soldiers.

The wounded soldiers recuperated in the rear camp.

More than 200 people, one by one, stopped their waists and leggings, bandaged their heads and faces, and the disability was unspeakable!

There are no soldiers in the camp, and there are not many Jinchuang drugs.

Bandaging the wounds of soldiers is nothing more than a pitiful hemostatic medicine.

Before entering the back camp, the sound of pain and wailing from time to time made everyone's hearts palpitate!

Lu Zhi opened the camp tent and saw the wounded soldiers lying on the ground.

"Brothers, Lord Taishou has come to see you!" Gongsun Chan said loudly.

The wounded soldiers supported each other and got up to pay homage to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi looked at the wounded soldiers in front of him, his eyes were red, his heart was like colic, and he said in a choked voice: "Everyone has suffered! Thank you for the people of Liyang! It's a pity that there is no Langzhong in my camp, so I can't heal everyone! Now the war is not urgent, Bo Jue, you immediately take a team of men and horses to the nearby towns and counties, and look for Lang Zhong to heal their wounds! ”

"But ...... your lordship?"

"Say no more! It's also your responsibility to help them heal! ”

"Yes!"

……

In the afternoon, Gongsun Chan went out with fifty soldiers to look for Langzhong, and we will not mention it for the time being.

Let's say that the barbarian general Hercules Gou He and the wolf cavalry general Rondo led thousands of troops, and angrily killed the place where Gongsun Chan was stationed.

After the scouts sent by Lu Zhi found out, they quickly returned to the camp and reported to Lu Zhi.

I heard that thousands of barbarians were coming.

The enemy must not have known that our army had arrived!

Therefore, sending a thousand people here must be aimed at our vanguard troops.

Lu Zhi guessed in his heart, so he ordered: "Probe and report again!" ”

"No!" The horse answered and withdrew from the tent.

The generals in the tent have invited to fight.

Captain Qiao She said: "The enemy army is coming from afar, and our army is resting and waiting, just to resist fatigue and kill the enemy's spirit!" ”

"What Captain Qiao said is extremely true." Lu Zhi is both civil and military, and he already has a countermeasure in his heart, "A mile away, there is a place called a three-way intersection, the terrain is flat, but there is a lot of thatch. This place is the main road connecting Hengjiang, Liyang and Juchao. The enemy army is still more than twenty miles away from here, and there is still a stick of incense to get here! I wonder who is willing to play for Ben Taishou? ”

Military Sima Li Lan stepped forward to fight: "My subordinates are not talented, and I am willing to take on this responsibility!" ”

Liu Bei, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang also came out to fight.

Lu Zhi then sent Sima Li Lan as the main general, and Liu Bei and the three went out with the army.

It turned out that since Liu Bei and others joined the army, Lu Zhi has not given them a clear official position, but just took them with him to accompany the army.

Among his disciples, only Gongsun Zhan, Huangfu Hong, and Yan Gang were awarded the military marquis.

This is also why Gongsun Chan is the vanguard and can only lead 500 troops.

Because his headquarters has only five hundred men and horses.

Let's talk about the military Sima Li Lan, this person is about thirty-four or five years old, eight feet tall, and he is good at using a phoenix sword.

He was the lowest of the five generals in the Jiujiang County Shoufu.

Jiujiang County originally had 3,000 county soldiers, a total of three departments, with one captain, Qiao She, and three commanders; 500 archers are a curved archer, and 500 cavalry are a curved cavalry, which are combined into one piece, with one lieutenant named Wang Xi and one military Sima named Li Ping; 500 archers and 500 infantry, combined into one unit, and set up one military Sima, for Li Lan; The infantry has a captain named Jiang Long.

Due to the war, Lu Zhi conscripted more than 6,000 soldiers and divided them into three divisions, and Li Lan's division was expanded to 3,000, and 2,000 infantry were added, which were led by two military marquis.

Li Lan knew that the three of them were Lu Zhi's disciples, especially Wen Chou's victory in the first battle.

So, he was very enthusiastic about the three of them.

Let's say that the four of them led the troops to the three-way intersection.

The place is indeed open and very suitable for cavalry combat.

Although there is a high thatch in the middle of the fork, the terrain is low-lying and it is not a place for archers to ambush.

Li Lan pointed to the fork in the road and said, "What Lord Taishou said is indeed good. However, the thatched terrain is low-lying, and once the enemy army rushes down regardless of life and death, our archers will be in trouble! I wonder what the three little generals suggest? ”

Liu Bei looked around for a while, and said: "My lord, remember that Sun Tzu's Art of War has clouds: 'Therefore, if I am invisible and formless, I will be the enemy.'" I am designed for one, and the enemy is divided into ten, and if I attack one with ten, then we are outnumbered; Whoever is able to defeat the outnumbered with the multitude, then I will fight with him.'"

The terrain here is flat, and our army can line up to meet the enemy. Although the enemy army is brave, there are only 1,000 people, and our army is 3,000, including 500 archers, why be afraid? ”

Yan Liang continued: "The enemy army is attacking my morale troops with a tired division, and I think we should further damage their morale and crush the soldiers' will to fight. Therefore, I suggest that the adults give me a piece of infantry, and let me take a detour to another road and wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy from behind! ”

At this time, the rough man and ugliness said: "Hey! What a hassle! Let me demoralize them! In a while, they came, and I went up and killed their generals! ”

After hearing these words, Li Lan was quite stunned in her heart.

I didn't expect these three people to be so resourceful and brave at such a young age.

At that moment, he said, "Very well, I will listen to you." Yan Liang, I'll give you five hundred soldiers, just do what you think! As soon as you see a volley of arrows, you will lead your troops to attack! ”

"No!" Yan Liang agreed and took the order.

"Liu Bei, you immediately arrange the remaining soldiers, set up a position according to your deployment, and wait for the enemy!" He instructed Liu Bei again.

"No!" After Liu Bei agreed, he immediately arranged for two military marquis and the commanders to line up the five hundred veterans in five rows, followed by the five elements of archers, the five hundred recruits on the left wing were lined up in ten rows, the five hundred recruits on the right wing were lined up in ten rows, and the five hundred recruits in the back protected the backs of the archers.

Seeing Liu Bei arranging the formation like this, Li Lan couldn't help but nod again, with a look of great appreciation on his face.

Wen Chou asked impatiently on the side: "My lord, they all have something to do!" What do I do? ”

"Didn't you say that the brutes came in a while, and you went up alone to kill his generals?"

"Huh?! ……”

Damn it! You won't be able to play really, right?

Wen Chouxin said, why does this sound so unpleasant!

He was stunned!

At this time, Li Lan withdrew his gaze from Liu Bei_jiang and saw Wen Chou staring at him with two big eyes, not only smiled gracefully, but said: "General Wen Chou's martial arts are extraordinary, he fought alone at the age of fifteen, and killed the barbarian general in his first battle!" Fang Cai, you report yourself and want to take the lead. How could he not give the general this opportunity? ”

"Hey!! A few barbarian generals haven't entered the eyes of my literary ugliness yet! Seeing Li Lan laughing at herself, Wen Chou was very bored and waved his hand again and again.

As he spoke, there was a burst of dust in the direction of Liyang.

The dust dispersed, and a vicious wolf rushed out.

The wolf was covered in armor and had a saddle on his back, and on top of the saddle sat a man with thin cheeks, whose face was half covered by hair, so that his true age could not be seen.

Behind him was a burly man, more than nine feet tall, carrying an oversized mace on his shoulder, the handle alone the thickness of a bowl.

As they stopped, the dust cleared.

Bands of brutes gradually appeared.

One row, two rows......

Sure enough, more than a thousand barbarians!

"Adultery, didn't you say that there were only five hundred Han soldiers? Where did so much come from? Rondo saw the neat Han soldiers and horses in front of him, and shouted at Hercules at the moment.

"Yes! Could it be that as Mr. Sancai said, the Han army is coming? "However, it seems that they are only twice as many as us!" Afraid of a ball! ”

"That's right! Okay, I'll go and beg for a while to extinguish their prestige! Rondo said, patting the wolf up.

Li Lan and Wen Chou were looking at the two barbarians opposite and talking about something, and suddenly found that the guy riding the wolf rushed out of the formation.

"Phew! The Han army on the opposite side heard clearly, I was the wolf cavalry general Rondo under the command of the king of the tower. You wait, hurry up and hand over the murderer who killed Mu Huan with the double knife! Rondo shouted.

Barbarians!

It's just uncivilized!

Li Lan was very disdainful of the barbarians, looked back at Wen Chou, and whispered, "See! People have come to seek revenge! Be careful, though, this guy isn't easy to deal with! ”

"Yes!" Wen Chou responded and slapped his horse out.

War horses seem to be inherently afraid of wolves.

As soon as he entered the battlefield, Wen Chou's war horse cowered.

Rondo sat on the wolf's back and laughed.

"Little doll, scared? If you are afraid, you will dismount and surrender! ”

Wen Chou was willing to show weakness, and in a hurry, he wanted to dismount and fight.

When it was too late, he rushed out behind him and shouted, "Rondo rats, Hugh is rampant!" Somebody is here to fight you! ”

If you want to know what will happen next, let's look at the next chapter: The wolf warrior is more likely to show his power, and the barbarian soldiers will make war exploits again
