Chapter 228: The Unexpected (Part II)

After Lu Bu shouted like a loud thunder, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, and Pang De quickly gathered all the cavalry, and after a simple formation, they began to slowly move west! The knights shouted, skillfully controlling the gallop of the horses, and the seven thousand cavalry adjusted their formation as they accelerated.

After running out of the three miles, the cavalry had already formed a triangular assault formation headed by Lu Bu and Beiweishi! From above, the entire large array is a huge triangle headed by Lu Bu, but if you look closely, this huge triangle array is divided into countless small triangle arrays, among which Cheng Lian, Pang De, and Cao Xing are all small triangle arrows!

Tian Fan watched the knights set off from behind, and temporarily relieved his heart!

Wei Yan, Hao Zhao, and Lu Yi had already heard the news and rushed over! The three of them had been supervising the encampment of the soldiers, and when they heard the sound of the enemy's war drums, they immediately turned back.

At the time of this battle, Tian Fan wanted to solve the problem quickly! Although the intelligence of the dark night shows that Qiao Rui's level is not low, but he has Lu Yi and Lu Bu under him, so he doesn't believe that this Qiao Rui, who has no name to be passed on, can withstand the attack of the two!

However, after listening to Lu Bu's account of the war, he had to make long-term plans! Since he is preparing for a long-term plan, Dazhai must be built firmly, so in addition to the first camp and three hundred personal soldiers, Tian Fan sent all the foot soldiers to build the camp!

In this way, the construction of the camp will naturally be much faster, but the physical consumption of the soldiers is bound to be not small. If you fight at this time, the combat power of these 9,000 foot soldiers may not be able to play half of the usual time!

In ancient times, sergeants and soldiers generally had two meals a day, morning and evening. But the soldiers in Xuzhou are different, they eat three meals a day, but the meal at noon, if it is on the march, is generally eaten when resting. The rest time was only half an hour, so at noon, the soldiers ate dry food! Dry food for the march, generally sun-dried rice or small rice, soaked in a little water and then eaten! There are also some good conditions, you can have a few slices of jerky!

Therefore, although the soldiers were tired at this time, they were not too hungry, which made them have a certain amount of combat strength left!

Tian Fan's brain was sweating! Qiao Rui chose to play at this time, which is really clever! If the soldiers of Xuzhou are the same as the soldiers of the rest of the princes, only two meals a day, then this battle will be lost!

He looked up at the sun, which was already in the west, and would set in an hour and a half!

Tian Fan patted his chest and shouted that it was dangerous!

When Wei Yan saw it, he felt incredible! When Tian Fan was in Ju County, even in the face of Yuan Tan's 80,000 army, he didn't break out in a cold sweat, what happened at this time?

He asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tian Fan breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the sun and said to the three of them: "Look! ”

The three of them raised their heads and squinted vigorously at the sun, all puzzled!

Tian Fan said: "Last time, when Yide and I attacked Chen Lan Lei Bo, we used to use the light of the sun when it was setting westward......

Wei Yan was shocked, and exclaimed, "Sir, you mean, Qiao Rui also wants to use this trick on us?" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Eighty percent is!" ”

Thinking about the scene when the sun was setting in the west, Koji Yi was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he said: "Sir, if it weren't for the fact that we camped much faster than the average army, I'm afraid he really succeeded!" ”

Tian Fan nodded, frowned and said, "That's true!" Qiao Rui must want to wait for our Dazhai to be repaired but not repaired to attack, with the general army, to settle a Dazhai that is intended to be used for a long time, at that time about an hour later! ……”

Tian Fan raised his head and looked at the improvised lookout wood, and he shouted loudly, "Wang Zi, has the battle begun?" ”

On the five-zhang high lookout wood, Wang Zi is like a monkey, climbing the top of the wood with one hand, covering the sun with the other, and crossing the wood with both legs, carefully watching the battle in the distance! Under the lookout wood, Tang Yi and four big men were carefully holding on to the wood. …,

Hearing this, he shouted, "My lord, it's already started...... Hey, weird, this ......."

Tian Fan felt uneasy for a while, and he asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Zi said loudly: "My lord, Wenhou is rushing forward...... It's too smooth, it's so overwhelming, there is no decent resistance, and it has already broken into the opponent's big array! ”

As soon as he heard this, Tian Fan suddenly felt wrong! If something is abnormal, it is a demon, Lu Bu obviously said that the last time he attacked Qiao Rui's big array, he tried it twice but it had no effect, how could he succeed so easily at this time?

Tian Fan frowned and thought hard, they all felt wrong! Suddenly, Tian Fan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Wang Zi, have you seen the other party's cavalry?" ”

After careful observation, Wang Zi replied, "My lord, no! I only saw the boundless foot soldiers, and I didn't see the cavalry in formation! ”

Tian Fan's heart suddenly twitched, he turned around suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Yan and Hao Zhao listen to orders!" ”

The two of them immediately straightened up, hugged their fists and said, "The last general!" ”

"The two of you immediately tell the soldiers to stop what they are doing and start eating immediately! At this point, it's too late to cook, just eat dry food! After eating, immediately line up! By the way, only eat half full, don't eat too full! Give you a quarter of an hour, is that enough? ”

The two of them clasped their fists and shouted: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Tian Fan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and the two turned away!

Tian Fan turned his head to look at Liyi again, and said in a deep voice: "Liyi listens to orders!" ”

Koji straightened up, clenched his fists and shouted, "The end will be!" ”

Tian Fan unloaded the long sword at his waist, and handed the sword with a sheath to Lu Yi, and after Lu Yi took it stupidly, Tian Fan said in a deep voice: "Lu Yi, this war will end before tonight!" This sword is my saber, and from now on, I will hand over command to you! Below me, everyone is at your command! ”

Koji Yi hurriedly said: "Sir, this matter must not be done!" How can the righteous man be the new one who has come down to bear this great responsibility? After speaking, he handed the long sword in his hand back to Tian Fan!

Tian Fan took the long sword, slammed the long sword into his hand again, shook his hand hard, and said in a deep voice: "General Koji, this is not the time to pay attention to seniority!" In my guess, the cavalry of the other side will come soon, we are all infantry, and only the first camp and my personal guard are still physically strong, if you don't command, who can? ”

Koji was a little moved! If it were an ordinary person, they might think that Tian Fan was shirking his responsibility, but in Liyi's opinion, this is an extreme trust in him!

He nodded violently, gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, I'm no longer welcome!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "It should be so!" ”

Koji Yi took the long sword, turned around sharply, and shouted, "Go to the camp first!" Pro-Barracks Gather! ”

The eight hundred Xiandeng had already assembled when they heard the war drums, and as soon as they heard the order of Koji Yi, they immediately shouted: "The first camp is here!" ”

The three hundred guards had also been assembled, and they saw the whole process of Tian Fan's transfer of command, and after listening to the order of Liyi, they shouted: "The pro-military camp is here!" ”

Seeing Koji Yi commanding unhurriedly, Tian Fan's worries did not let go! He turned his head to look west, wanting to see the battlefield where Lu Bu was, but as far as his eyes could see, it was only billowing yellow smoke, and he couldn't see the situation clearly!

But he said that Lu Bu, when he was leading the cavalry to charge, saw that there was still a mile to go, and he was about to rush to the big formation of Qiaorui, but suddenly saw the banner of Qiaorui! The banner was not in the position of the Chinese army in the big formation, but in the front formation, only about thirty steps from the edge of the front formation!

So, Lu Bu adjusted the position of the charge, Fang Tian drew a halberd and pointed at it, and lightly knocked the red rabbit groom, the red rabbit hissed violently, and slightly adjusted the method of moving forward!

Seeing that he was only a hundred steps away from the bridge array, Lu Bu shouted: "Charge with me!" ”…,

The knights shouted, "Rush! ”

At this time, a loud roar came from the big array: "Release the arrow!" ”

With a "buzz", thousands of feather arrows flew into the sky, paused at the highest point, and immediately slid diagonally, and in the blink of an eye, with a huge momentum, they plunged into the riding formation!

Suddenly, there was a roar of people neighing, and the soldier who was hit by the arrow immediately fell down and was trampled into pulp by the horses that followed! The knights' faces did not change at all, and even if they were about to die under the hooves of their horses, they still did not frown! War is like this, today he is dying under my horse's hooves, tomorrow I may be alive under someone else's!

At the same time, the horses hit by the arrows fell to the ground and tripped more horses, causing the formation to be thrown into disarray! Fortunately, the soldiers were in battle for a long time, and after a short period of chaos, they immediately sorted out the formation, and the entire large array became as strict as before.

After two rounds of arrow rain, Lu Bu leaned to a distance of dozens of steps in front of the big array at the cost of losing more than 400 people! Qiao Rui's banner has become extremely clear in Lu Bu's eyes, and it only takes a small step to reach it!

A grim smile appeared on Lu Bu's face, as long as he killed Qiao Rui, everything would be easy!

However, suddenly, there was a loud roar in the big array: "Change the formation!" ”

The drums sounded, and in the infantry array, the soldiers on both sides of the bridge banner immediately turned around and rushed towards the side of the array.

At the same time, the banner of Qiaorui that Lu Bu saw before fell to the ground, and in the rear position of the big array, a big banner suddenly appeared, with the word "bridge" written on it!

Lu Bu's heart twitched, he was fooled!

But at this time, it is difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he must continue to charge, if he stops, the knights behind him will be congested, and it will inevitably cause even greater chaos! The only way for him to do this was to rush over, rush through the defensive line behind the large array, and escape!

Lu Bu Fangtian raised his halberd and shouted, "Keep charging!" ”

The knights naturally obeyed the order, and more than 7,000 cavalrymen broke into this "U" shaped array with an unparalleled momentum!

Under the banner of the bridge word, Qiao Rui had a cold smile on his face, raised his right hand violently, and shouted: "Change the formation!" ”

The entire large array suddenly changed again, and on the three inner sides of the "U" shaped array, countless canopy and spears suddenly appeared! At this moment, Lu Bu's cavalry was trapped!

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Rui yelled again: "Release the arrow!" "Feather arrows fired a volley, and Lu Bu's cavalry began to suffer casualties!
