Chapter 110: Mountain Rain is Coming
The difference is a millimeter, and the difference is a thousand miles, this sentence has been bloodily verified today.
In the short time when Lu Min arranged for someone to escort Mao Yan and Fengxue to retreat first, the battle situation, which originally seemed tragic but somewhat silly, took an unexpected turn due to a series of coincidences.
Dou Gui, who had more than fifty knights, only sent four knights to deal with Liu Xiu because of his underestimation of Liu Xiu, and after being killed by Liu Xiu, he took advantage of the situation and smashed the main formation, and was injured and fell from his horse on the first contact, while the rest of the knights behind him were passed by Liu Xiu without full preparation, and the formation was in chaos. In order to protect Dou Gui, the knights actually gave up the offense, but instinctively took a defensive position.
In a moment, Liu Xiu and Zhang Fei joined forces and killed seven knights in one go, seriously injuring Dou Gui, ten knights followed Liu Xiu in hot pursuit, five knights were frustrated against Zhang Fei, and only half of Dou Gui's side remained.
And it is half of the people who have suffered a serious setback. They have been on the battlefield for a long time and have encountered countless dangers, but this situation like today is really a bit weird: the other party rode one step at a time, and in the blink of an eye, he killed four robes with strong martial skills, and seriously injured Dou Gui in front of everyone, and even Dou Hu, who had the highest martial skills, could not block the other party's blow.
They all remembered Dunwu's words: "Some people are born to be masters." ”
At this moment, these knights need a strong core figure to command them and stabilize the morale of the army, such as Dou Wei and Huai Zong, they are experienced and know what to do in this situation.
It's a pity that Dou Gui is not, although he is the best of young people, but he lacks the ability to control the situation by being caught off guard by the other party in an advantageous situation, and more importantly, after being injured, the severe pain made his mind blank, and all the teachings of Dou Wei were forgotten in an instant, and all he could do was to scream instinctively.
And this kind of scream made the knights around him even more uneasy, they didn't know how serious Dou Gui's injuries were, whether they would die, and if Dou Gui gave his life, the fate of their guards would be very miserable.
Dou returned to the grassland with a disgraced face, and Dou Gui became the heir to the head of the Dou family as he wished, which was originally a dream opportunity for them. But if Dou Gui died, their dreams would turn into nightmares.
At this time, who still realizes that they still have an absolute advantage, and who would still think of killing Liu Xiu and Zhang Fei?
The morale of the knights of the Dou family plummeted, but Lu Min and the others suddenly became invigorated. Seeing Liu Xiu being chased by ten Dou family knights alone, Zhang Fei facing five Dou family knights alone, while the rest of the Dou family formed a circle and didn't move for a long time, Lu Min and the others suddenly realized that the opportunity had come.
Without much discussion, purely out of instinct, Liu He and Mao Yan led all the people who could fight to push the driving formation, roaring and rushing out, more than a dozen war horses galloping in front, and more than a dozen people galloping behind. The knights of the Dou family were leaderless, they were worried about Dou Gui's life and death, and they had no intention of fighting, so after a little resistance, they turned their horses' heads and threw down a few corpses and left the wilderness.
In the face of the sudden victory, Li Cheng and the others couldn't believe their eyes, they were holding their war knives, gasping for breath, excitement and confusion were intertwined, all of this was like a dream. Lu Min was very sober, he knew that this victory came by a very fluke, and he couldn't stay here longer, so he immediately asked Zhang Fei and Liu Bei to call back Liu Xiu and lead everyone to move closer to Xialuo County.
On the way, they met the Xialuo County Order who received the news sent by Xian Yuyin and rushed to respond, and after learning that the battle had passed, more than 100 officers and soldiers also felt a little incredible, and analyzed the reasons for it, each with its own reasoning, and couldn't argue, and finally Liu Xiu said something that seemed quite philosophical, and made a conclusion:
A lion leading a hundred sheep can defeat a hundred lions led by a sheep, not to mention that the difference in our strength is not so huge.
Then when everyone praised him as a lion, he modestly said, I am not a lion, my senior brother is a lion, and I am only his minion at best.
Everyone laughed, turned around and praised Lu Min for his proper command, the timing of the attack was just right, and a few more passes, including Liu Xiu and Zhang Fei's previous attack, also became Lu Min's arrangement. Lu Min was ashamed, but he couldn't stop everyone's mouth, so he naturally became a hero and the biggest hero of this victory.
After resting for a day in Xialuo, they learned that Lu Anhou, a Wuhuan man, had withdrawn in embarrassment, and Liu Xiu and the others went on the road again to Fuyang. When Shanggu Taishou Gong Shafu heard this, his face became very ugly, and he was in no mood to entertain Lu Min, so he hurried to Zhuo County to ask Liu Yu about the assassin.
By the time Lu Min and the others arrived in Yuyang, Liu Yu was already waiting for him in Yuyang. As soon as they met, Liu Yu handed him an urgent military report, which was sent by Xia Yu, the captain of Ningcheng Huwuhuan.
Xianbei Huaizong was rescued by the knights of the Dou family and the handsome Lu Anhou of Wuhuan, Wang Chan and Xian Yuyin were seriously injured, and the twenty knights sent by the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion to escort Lu Min and his party were all killed. Xia Yu demanded an explanation from Liu Yu and Shanggu Taishou Gong Shafu, and at the same time mobilized grain and grass, he must be prepared to fight against the Xianbei people, and even send troops to fight against the Wuhuan people - if the Wuhuan Lord Nanlou could not give him a satisfactory explanation.
Liu Yu was very angry: "This battle is inevitable, Liu Xiu broke Huai Zong's leg and robbed his woman, Xianbei people will not swallow their anger." At this time, we not only need a lot of grain and grass, but also need the help of the Wuhuan people, without the assistance of the Wuhuan cavalry, it is difficult for us to defeat the Xianbei people. Liu Yu said, throwing Xia Yu's letter on the ground with some gaffe, and scolded: "At this time, you are still going to trouble the building?" Did he think that his 2,000 cavalry alone would be able to stop the Xianbei people? ”
Lu Min suddenly felt frightened, Liu Yu was right, this battle had to be fought, but since it was going to be fought, it was impossible to provoke the Wuhuan people at this time, otherwise, the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people would join forces, and the entire Shanggu would not be owned by the Han in the blink of an eye.
"What the hell is going on with that vertical man Liu Xiu?" Liu Yu's face turned blue with anger, "Why did he go to provoke the Dou family?" Can he afford to cause such a disaster now? He wants revenge, and you want to go into battle? Okay, I'll let him take revenge, I'll let you go into battle, and I'll immediately order the requisition of men over the age of fifteen and under the age of sixty in Zhuo County to the border of the Captain of Wuhuan's Mansion to fulfill your wishes. ”
"Your Excellency!" Lu Min couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "It was the Dou family who made the incident first, and Liu Xiu just fought back." What's more, the Dou family has fled to the grassland, and Huai Zong, as the prince of Xianbei, actually dares to go deep into Ningcheng, this is a contempt for my big man, do we still blame Liu Xiu in turn? Isn't there such a thing, Huai Zong and Dou Hui are just to see the scenery? What a fallacy! ”
Liu Yu turned his head violently, glared at Lu Min angrily, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "I have heard that Lu Jun is upright for a long time, and I can't imagine that the same is true of my son, but I don't know if you are so generous now, and you can be so calm when you really face Xianbei people." You have to understand that you can defeat Dou Gui, it's just luck. Luck, you know? Tanshi Huai is not Dou Gui, he has more than 50 horsemen, he has 5,000 horsemen, 50,000 horsemen, do you think you can win this battle with the courage of one or two people? ”
He walked back to the desk quickly, took out a roll from the pile of bamboo slips, and stuffed it into Lu Min's hand with his backhand: "Take a good look at how much food you need for a war, how many soldiers you need, and how many people you need to say good things to." Lu Jun ......" He accentuated his tone and said loudly: "I am an assassin sent by the court, but if the big clan of Youzhou does not support it, I can only fight with father and son." You are a celebrity in Youzhou, and you are such a main battle, should you share your worries for the court? ”
Lu Min didn't have time to think: "If you have an order, you dare not obey." ”
Liu Yu looked at him in a daze, pursed his lips silently, and suddenly sneered: "That's great, Xia Yu got his wish." As he spoke, he picked up a bamboo slip from the desk and handed it to Lu Min. Lu Min saw that it was Xia Yupi's book on the history of the governor of the Wuhuan Colonel, and Liu Xiu's name was attached to it.
