Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of Huailing (I)
Kohiratsu? Pingjin Governor Jia Xu!
Ji Ping was shocked, why did he forget this old poison at a critical time? That's right, the problem must be with this old fox!
The first instinct told him that their exposure was inseparable from Jia Xu, an old poison. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo was currently busy moving the capital, how could he notice them?
As a result, Xiaopingjin, Gongling, and Xianling in the north may have problems.
"Immediately send someone to the north to find out the news, and at the same time divide six hundred people as a reserve to defend against the attack of Xiaopingjin in the north!" Ji Ping's face was solemn.
There are 600 people in Xiaopingjin, and Jia Xu can at least draw out 400 people or even more, once they are attacked at a critical time, the consequences will be very terrible.
As a result, they have to divide their forces to defend the north, and the pressure is even greater.
Watching Duan Jin arrange someone to investigate, Ji Ping continued to watch the soldiers deploy.
After all, Huailing is an imperial mausoleum, and the wall is not suitable for military defense, and there are no professional defensive equipment, but Duan Jin is experienced after all, under his leadership, the soldiers nailed three rows of sharp wooden stakes into the ground to form a protective fence, and there are pieces of wooden planks connected to defend against arrows.
Axe and shield men, pikemen, archers, standard-bearers, drummers, and trumpeters were busy in the field, but they were in good order.
In these details of arranging defenses, Ji Ping learned a lot.
Duan Jin arranged two lines of defense, one outside Huailing and one inside Huailing.
Ji Ping followed Duan Jin to Huailing, and saw that the soldiers were priing bricks and digging pits in the tunnel, he looked around, saw the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue outside Huailing, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke: "Be cautious, how many soldiers do you need to form a formation here and fight with the Bingzhou soldiers on foot?" How sure are you? β
Duan Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said confidently: "The terrain here is narrow, and six hundred iron walls and two hundred archers are enough to make it difficult for them to advance an inch. β
Immediately afterwards, Duan Jin pointed to the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue and said: "Then order 600 people to ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides, and when the enemy is tired from fighting, suddenly attack, shoot and kill with a strong crossbow, and you will definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop." β
Ji Ping couldn't help but clapped his hands and smiled: "Shen Xing is slightly the same as what I saw. β
At this time, one of the soldiers who went out to investigate reported that he had searched for three miles to the north and found no abnormality, while the rest of the spies were continuing to investigate northward.
Ji Ping couldn't help frowning, and then put down his thoughts, at this time, he didn't have time to think about it at all, just leave some reserves to deal with Xiao Pingjin, the top priority is to deal with Lu Bu first.
He groaned and said categorically: "Be cautious, give you 1,500 people to set up a formation in Huailing to meet the enemy, I will take 300 people, Shi A will take 300 rangers, and ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides." β
Duan Jin was shocked: "Your Majesty! Never! β
"It's an order!" Ji Ping's tone was resolute: "You are good at battle, it's useless for me to stay here, this is the main battlefield, if you fight more steadily, the safer I will be, please be cautious." β
"Order!" Duan Jin had no choice but to take the order and was about to leave, and Ji Ping instructed again: "Send someone to secretly go to the secret road, tell SΓΉ Geng Zhong, and be ready to respond at any time, once Xiao Pingjin sends troops to attack, let the ghost shadow choose the opportunity to attack." β
"Yes!" Duan Jin left quickly, although he was belligerent, but now that Ji Ping's safety was in his hands, he felt a lot of pressure.
Ji Ping also hurriedly called Shi Ah to prepare an ambush.
Now that their whereabouts are exposed, they are alone, and they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is impossible for him not to be apprehensive when he wants to deal with Jia Xu's old poison and Lu Bu, a peerless fierce general.
But he could not let the soldiers see that they were preparing for battle with high morale, and he had to try to lay out a plan based on the insights of his later generations.
He wanted to survive both himself and the soldiers who followed him.
β¦β¦
In the mountain col four or five miles away from Wenling, Zhu Ao estimated that half an hour had passed, and he scattered with a few rangers, knocking on the gong and shouting: "Black tooth cloth!" Black tooth cloth! β¦β¦β
Under the mountain pass, Lu Bu, who was originally lazy, turned black in an instant, and his forehead burst into blue tendons.
Since the farce of "Lu Bu laughs and his teeth are black" came out, not only Dong Zhuo has no face to see people, but Lu Bu has also kept a lot of low-key, but this "black teeth" is the biggest pain in his heart. not only became a laughing stock because of this, but also the good future of Dong Zhuo has also become bleak.
"Chase!" A word popped out between Lu Bu's teeth, roared angrily, and first waved his halberd and galloped out of the col.
Behind him, many soldiers looked at each other, and then followed with a scream.
Seeing that Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers had all moved, the more than 400 Qiang Hu soldiers also hurriedly caught up under the leadership of Jun Sima.
"The black tooth cloth is coming! Come on! β
Zhu Ao five or six people watched Lu Bu come out on horseback, and according to Ji Ping's previous instructions, they scattered in a blink of an eye and ran into the mountains and forests on all sides where the horses were difficult to walk.
On the avenue, Lu Bu was left to take the lead, messy in the north wind.
"General Lu, why don't you chase it?" The military Sima led by the four hundred Qiang Hu soldiers said loudly.
Hao Meng and Lu Bu's other general, Wei Xu, urged the horse to catch up, looking at the angry Lu Bu, Hao Meng hesitated, and opened his mouth to dissuade: "General, you can't chase it, I'm afraid this is the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and there may be an ambush." β
Lu Bu had a calm face, gritted his teeth, and the hand holding the halberd was bruised.
It's not that he doesn't want to chase, but he can't catch up on horseback in this mountain forest.
At this time, there was a faint voice in the mountains and forests: "...... Go to Huailing...... Inform the general...... Retreat...... There is an enemy attacking......"
Wei Xu exclaimed: "General, it turned out that the Huailing thieves appeared to us and wanted to lure us away so that we could take the opportunity to escape." β
Lu Bu's eyes sharpened, and he pointed at the halberd: "Sons! Immediately follow a certain rush to Huailing! Destroy these sneaky thieves! β
β¦β¦
On the mountain forest and highlands on the left side of Huailing Avenue, Ji Ping was wearing fine armor, wearing a copper mask with a hideous green face and red fangs, and he also took out his weapon for the first time, and it was also a Fang Tian painting halberd!
However, this Fang Tian Painting Halberd was more perfect, sharper, and more murderous than Lu Bu's.
The halberd that Lu Bu actually used was actually a small branch with a horizontal branch on one side of the spear, which was considered a halberd.
And Ji Ping's halberd is a real Fangtian painting halberd, made of iron, weighing sixty-four pounds, the head of the halberd is one foot two inches long, the two blades have arc sharp teeth, the cold light is shining, under the long tip is the tic-tac-toe moon blade, connected by small branches, extremely sharp.
This halberd is a drawing drawn by Ji Ping based on the romance he read in his previous life, and it took three months for more than a dozen eunuchs from Shang Fang to come out and dozens of people to build it, representing the top forging technology in this period, and it is by no means comparable to Lu Bu's halberd.
It was only more than ten miles from Wenling to Huailing, and Ji Ping had just laid an ambush in the mountains and forests on the left side of Huailing Avenue for a while, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
A group of cavalry invaded from the distant avenue like a blazing fire, mighty, domineering, and unstoppable!
The first big flag, with the word "Lu" written on it, hunted and roared.
The first ride was the Lu Bu that Ji Ping had seen in the palace, nearly nine feet tall, wearing a crown, holding a halberd with two halberds, and riding a red horse under him, with four hooves flying, and the momentum was violent.
Ji Ping, who looked at this momentum, was secretly frightened, fortunately it was in Beibi Mountain, and there was Huailing cover, otherwise if it was on flat land, this cavalry would only have a wave of impact, and all these horses would be finished.
But now, he squinted his eyes and looked at the Bingzhou cavalry that was getting closer and closer not far away.
The cavalry ran faster and faster, and Lu Bu shouted: "Sons, rush into Huailing and eradicate the traitors!" Not a single one to stay! β
Eight hundred steps...... Six hundred steps...... 400 steps......
Under the mask, a sneer appeared at the corner of Ji Ping's mouth. The faster Lu Bu ran, the happier he became. This time, Lu Bu's march did not even send scouts to explore the way, and Gao Shun's trapping camp did not bring him, which shows that his plan to scare the grass and scare the snake has worked.
Moreover, he used a method when digging a pit for Lu Bu's cavalry this time, using the well-known theory of boiling frogs in warm water in his previous life.
In the rumbling of horses' hooves, the neighing of war horses came from the whole team, and a war horse lost its front hooves and fell to the ground, and the cavalry flew out of the horse, fell to the ground, and was immediately drowned by the cavalry behind.
Soon, two more horses pounced... Three horses... Five or six horses...
The cavalry was a little confused, but the rush continued.
Under the mask, the smile on the corner of Ji Ping's mouth became stronger and stronger, and the digging technique of boiling frogs in warm water was that the avenue in front of Huailing was the densest, and the farther away it was, the more sparse it became, and there were only three or two pits five or six hundred and ten steps away from Huailing.
If there were dense pits everywhere, Lu Bu's iron cavalry would inevitably immediately retract his horse and stop advancing, but with Ji Ping's method of digging pits, Lu Bu would definitely not care about it at first, and would only slowly sink deeper and deeper.
Until...
More than a dozen riders fell like mowing grass, and Lu Bu shouted: "Stop! β
Writing brush! Writing brush! Writing brush!
Lu Bu hurriedly reined in the red rabbit horse first, looking at the dense pit in front of him with an iron face, beside him, several cavalrymen couldn't restrain it, and they had already turned over on their backs.
At this moment, three groups of soldiers rushed out of Huailing, and quickly lined up in front of Huailing, two hundred axe and shield men and two hundred pikemen were staggered in front of the formation and on both wings, followed by two hundred archers, and pulled the bowstring.
Looking at the military array dozens of zhang away, the corners of Lu Bu's eyes couldn't help twitching, and Hao Meng, Hou, and Song around him couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
There are only 600 people in front of them, but from soldiers to generals, they are all armed to the teeth from head to toe, this is the so-called old and weak thieves? Nima, this is more of a janissary than a janissaries.
Compared to me, these elites are more like thieves, rogues, and beggars...
If the cavalry was in the middle of the attack, this military formation would be nothing, but at this time, Lu Bu looked at the dense pit in front of him, which was a moat for the cavalry, unless he could not hesitate to suffer casualties and let the corpses cover the avenue first.
At this moment, the cavalry running behind did not know the situation in front and could not be restrained, and they were crowded together with the front, especially those Qianghu soldiers, and the cooperation with the Bingzhou soldiers was not so coordinated, and the cavalry appeared in a short period of confusion.
Lu Bu was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Dismount and line up!" β
But it was too late, and without hesitation, Duan Jin made a move.
