Chapter 135: Finally Out of the Battle
After saying these two abnormalities, Xu Rong paused, turned his gaze again, looked at the Hu Zhen array in the distance, and said: "Not only Huang Gai and Sun Benying are strange, but also Wen Wumeng and Sun Hou are strange, and General Hu's array is also strange. ”
"General Hu's formation? What's so strange? ”
"General Hu, I know also, he has been fighting from Xiangguo for a long time, known for his fierceness, in the past, he was the first to attack several times, but today's battle, but from the very beginning, the offensive on his side has always been weak, with his ability, it will not be here!"
As soon as Xu Rong said this, some of the people around him suddenly woke up, and immediately felt that Hu Zhen's side was a little strange, and said, "What the general said is very true! General Hu's side is indeed a little weird, not to mention anything else, just to say that the battle has reached this level, but still does not see Hua Xiong come out, this alone is extremely abnormal. ”
Hua Xiong is the general in Hu Zhen's army, and he is also famous in the entire Liangzhou army, and he is a well-known member of the fierce general, who will attack the fortified positions and fight to a stalemate, Hu Zhen will definitely transfer Hua Xiong to attack, and today's battle, the battle has reached this level, the two sides are no longer stalemate, but into a bitter battle, Hua Xiong has not appeared for a long time, it is indeed a strange thing.
Xu Rong pondered for a while, and said to the left and right: "Go to the front quickly, and ask General Lu to come over." ”
On the left and right, there was an Zuojun Sima who received the order, hurriedly went down to the watchtower, and drove his horse to the front to see Lu Bu.
After a short time, Xu Rong saw this Sima galloping back, but he came back alone, and when he dismounted and climbed up to the watchtower, he asked, "Where is General Lu?" ”
This assistant army Sima replied: "General Lu refuses to come. ”
"Didn't you tell him a few oddities about today's battle?"
"Got it."
"And what did he say?"
"General Lu didn't think so, and said ......."
"Say what?"
"Say: The general is suspicious."
"General Hu's attack is slow, Wenwu Meng, Sun Hou sit and watch and don't help, these are all facts, how can I be suspicious?"
General Lu said: The soldiers of General Hu's department are not as sharp as the soldiers in his department. The offensive is slow, not surprising; Sun Hou fought with him for half a day, and when he saw the bravery of the Bingzhou soldiers, he must have lost his courage and did not dare to come to the rescue. ”
Xu Rong frowned and said, "General Lu is a little too big,...... He would not come to me. I'm going to see him! ”
Xu Rong got off the watchtower, took the left and right generals, got on the horse and galloped to the front, found Lu Bu, and told Lu Bu again in person about his doubts.
Lu Bu leaned on his mount, playing with the hilt of his sword in his hand, and from time to time he raised his head to look at the battle situation in front of him, while obviously listening to Xu Rong reluctantly according to his temperament. After hearing what he said, he turned his face to look at him and asked, "What does the general think you and I should do now?" ”
"At this point in the battle, the soldiers are tired, and General Hu, Wen Wumeng and Sun Hou are all suspicious, in my opinion, you and I might as well inform General Hu that we will fight here today. Mingjin withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. Then see the situation clearly and then make plans. ”
Lu Bu laughed.
Xu Rong was unhappy and asked, "What is the general laughing at?" ”
"The battle has been fought so far, seeing that Huang Gai and Sun Ben are about to be unable to hold on, but the general suggested that I withdraw my troops and return to the camp for the time being? General Xu ....... ”
"How?"
"I know that you are good friends with Wenwu Meng, but you can't show him so obviously!"
"How could I mean that! You're spewing blood! ”
Lu Bu was not angry. said with a smile: "If the general doesn't want to fight again, it doesn't matter, but he just needs to stay behind and watch me break the yellow cover and Sun Benying." ”
Xu Rong was furious, but Lu Bu had said it to this extent. He didn't have much more to say, but to walk away.
When he returned to his main formation, he asked Xu Rong left and right: "General, what should I do now?" ”
Xu Rong was speechless for a while, and after a long while, he said: "I expect that Wenwu Meng and Sun Hou must have other plans, and General Hu may also have another thought, but since General Lu doesn't think so, he can't take care of him, and pass on my military order: order the rear camp to be vigilant and vigilant, and then order the main formation and right wing of our department to be on standby, just in case of loss!" ”
Left and right answered orders, and sent their own people, and once again went to the camp, the right flank, and the main formation to give orders.
……
Wen Chou and Sun Jian are in the array.
Wen Chou and Sun Jian took a closer look at Hu Zhen and Lu Xu's two formations, and saw that they were in a lot of smoke and dust, and the soldiers rushed to the front, they should have already invested about half of the men, and saw that Huang Gai and Sun Ben's battalion had persisted until now, and they had been almost broken by Gao Shun several times, and they were in danger.
Wen Chou then said to Sun Jian: "Wentai, you can attack!" ”
Wen Chou and Sun Jian each passed on military orders. ,
Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who were waiting for Sun Jian's left and right, rushed downstairs, went to the headquarters, and adjusted the part to go out.
After Wen Chou's military order reached the main formation, the generals Wen Ba, Yan Liang, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei also immediately transferred their headquarters and went out in turn according to the order set earlier.
For a time, in the two formations of Wen and Sun, the elite of the two armies, which had been prepared for a long time and had been waiting for a long time, had a total of 6,000 cavalry, and moved when they heard the order.
Wen Chou and Sun Jian had already set the direction of their attacks.
Hu Zhen was the target of the two of them, but Hu Zhen's troops were now living in two places, one was the front line, and the soldiers who were attacking Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp, and the other was Hu Zhen's base camp, and Hu Zhen put a little less soldiers and horses on the front line, about 4,000 people, and he left more soldiers and horses in the camp, almost more than 6,000 people, -- of course, Wen Chou and Sun Jian did not know the specific number of Hu Zhen's two men and horses, but only estimated a rough idea, because Sun Jian was eager to make meritorious contributions, so Wen Chou gave him the main attack task of attacking Hu Zhen this time, that is to say, Hu Zhen's base camp was attacked by Sun Jian, and Hu Zhen's front line was in charge of Wen Chou.
- Actually, even if it weren't for Sun Jian's eagerness to make meritorious service and attack Hu Zhen's base camp, Wen Chou would have given him the task for a very simple reason: the troops that were attacked by Xu Lu and Hu Zhen were not Wen Chou's troops, but Sun Jian's troops. From the beginning of the war to the present, it has been flanked for so long, the casualties of Huang Gai and Sun Ben are not small, Sun Jian has paid such a big price, so when it is time to pick peaches, Wen Chou can't snatch the opportunity.
In addition to attacking Hu Zhen's side, in order to prevent Xu Rong and Lu Bu from making trouble, Wen Chou and Sun Jian sent thousands of other people out of the battle, and they did not attack, but only placed them in the south of Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camps.
The soldiers of Wen Chou and Sun Jianbu rested for a long time, and in order to recuperate, the soldiers who were selected to fight were originally sitting on the ground, and when the military order came, they stood up one after another, and under the leadership of the officers of Benqu and the headquarters, they went out of the position one after another.
