Chapter 217: Embattled First to Camp
Lu Bu's location is not far from Ju County, but it is very secret!
Zhengrong Valley, also known as Qingni Lane, is located in the south of Ju County, about forty miles!
Here is Shushui in the west, cliffs in the east, the wall stands in the abyss, it is famous for its dangerous and strange interest, and is called "Juxian Longmen" by the villagers! The mountain is not high, but the mountain is steep, the rocks are red sand cliffs, and the terrain is complex. The entire mountainous area is dozens of miles in circumference, the land is barren, and there is very little vegetation.
This place is suitable for Tibetan soldiers, Lu Bu's more than 2,000 cavalry and more than 600 back soldiers, as well as more than 1,000 soldiers who went out of the city in advance, and the baggage of 100 carts, have been gathered here!
On the same day, after Tian Fan and Lu Bu discussed, both of them thought that the cavalry of less than 4,000 should be used as a surprise soldier, so Tian Fan and Gao Shun were responsible for defending the city, while Lu Bu led the cavalry outside, and the two military horses echoed each other from afar!
This place is surrounded by a river on one side and a cliff on the other, and even if Yuan Jun's scouts can reach this location, it will be difficult to find them! It's a good place to camp soldiers!
During the last night attack, Lu Bu also set out from this position, and rushed to Juxian in time to participate in the battle of burning Yuan Tanjun's camp.
And this time, Tian Fan felt that he had dealt a fatal blow to Yuan Tan, so naturally he couldn't forget Lu Bu!
So, Lu Bu came, and Jiang Yiqu ran away!
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the entire Yuan Tan army are scurrying like flies every day! There is no food, in this icy and snowy place, the road is slippery and difficult to walk, this kind of war without a trace of hope suddenly made most of the Yuan Tan soldiers despair!
After the soldiers in Xuzhou shouted "lay down their weapons and give preferential treatment to the prisoners", most of them chose to surrender immediately! In this era, who is a soldier or not? Besides, the Xuzhou army is well treated, why don't you do it with them?
The rest of the people fled in all directions, and they had no chance to discern the direction! So, after leaving some people to guard the prisoners, everyone in the Xuzhou army divided into small units and began to be busy catching prisoners all over the mountains!
At this point, the sky is already starting to shine!
Lu Bu led the cavalry to rush for a while, and when he saw that the other party had almost no resistance, he immediately felt bored! He handed over the command of the cavalry, let Cheng Lian and Cao Xing take the cavalry to capture the prisoners and kill people, and he took a few personal soldiers to find Tian Fan!
Lu Bu was very interested! When I saw Tian Fan, I didn't say a word, I laughed and gave him a punch!
Coincidentally, he hit Nakata Fan's injury, and the pain made him grin for a while!
He thought to himself, it's no wonder that it's the two of them, the whole person's methods are so similar!
Seeing his appearance, Lu Bu hurriedly asked what was going on?
As soon as Gao Shun told what happened, Lu Bu was speechless for a while!
After a while, he slapped Tian Fan heavily and said loudly: "It is worthy of being my friend Lu Bu!" Well, such a person can be my son-in-law! ”
Tian Fan rolled his eyes......
The three of them stood together and discussed the future!
Lu Bu said in a loud voice: "The war on our side is over, but there are other places!" Hmph, simply, let's go round! First go to meet Cao Heizi, then go to find trouble with Yuan Highway, and finally, go to Guangling to find Sun Bofu! ”
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Wenhou, the weather is cold at this time, and it is snowing heavily, and it is difficult to march!" Besides, after this battle, we also need to rest! Moreover, these tens of thousands of captives need us to digest for a while! ”
Seeing that Lu Bu was in a hurry, Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Don't worry!" Don't worry, the battle will be fought! After a long pause, he said, "But, you can't go now!" Zhengqing is right, we need to rest for a few days! After this battle, Juxian should no longer be in danger, but ...... We can't be careless! In this way, I think, it is enough for Juxian to leave 10,000 soldiers! The wounded soldiers and redundant soldiers followed us to escort the prisoners and settled them in the Xiapi camp first! When we return to Xiapi and house the wounded soldiers and prisoners, we will go to war again! How is it? ”…,
Lu Bu thought about it, this is the safest, so he nodded and agreed!
The three of them were discussing things, when suddenly, a small colonel rode straight to him, and said in a loud voice: "Report, urgent report!" ”
Tian Fan and the three of them looked at the little school, but saw that he was rushing over! The horses were on the half-icy and half-snowy ground, and their four hooves occasionally slipped, but it made the little school very embarrassed! I saw him clutching the horse's neck with both hands, so tired that he was panting!
They couldn't help but be a little puzzled, tonight's battle, there is no suspense at all, why is this little school so anxious? What can be the urgent report?
The little colonel came to the three of them, jumped off their horses, and immediately slipped and fell to the ground!
When he got up, he immediately saluted the three of them and said, "Report to the three generals!" Yuan Tan and Jiang Yiqu fled with people, but we didn't catch up! Koji Yihe had not gone far from the camp first, it was only forty miles away this time, and now it was surrounded by us, but he refused to surrender! Our soldiers attacked several times and suffered heavy losses, so a few generals asked the villains to come and report and ask the three generals to decide! ”
When the three of them heard it, they had different reactions!
Lu Bu laughed and said: "I have long heard that Lu Yi is a powerful person, and his first soldiers are even more cavalry, hum, today, I want to meet him for a while!" ”
Gao Shun's eyes are also shining! He said: "Ascend first and fall into battle, which one is stronger?" Today, I'm going to take a look! ”
Tian Fan didn't speak!
After pondering for a moment, his little colonel said, "Lead the way in front of the head, I'll wait and take a look!" ”
The little school clenched his fists and promised!
Tian Fan and the three of them, with 700 traps, 300 personal soldiers, and a total of 1,000 ironclad soldiers, went north!
Forty miles to the north, on a flat land, Lu Yi took the extremely embarrassed soldiers who first boarded the camp, and set up an iron pass as if it were a circle formation, making a stubborn resistance!
The terrain here is empty, there are no mountains and no valleys, and it is adjacent to Shushui in the west, which is indeed a good place to camp! The soldiers who boarded the camp first, set up a round formation with their backs to Shushui, and it seemed that they were ready to fight against the water!
The soldiers who came to the camp first were carefully selected by Koji Yoshishi and trained according to the unique method he had in mind! The biggest characteristic of the soldiers is that they are eight feet tall or more, have great strength, stamina, and strong tolerance, and the equipment can also be said to be the best in China! Each person is dressed in iron armor, 500 small single-person crossbows of 5 stones, 300 special small canopy trees, 300 single-person crossbows of about 10 stones, and 500 special steel knives!
In the battle last night, after they hurriedly got up, they found that the defeat was irreparable, and they had to flee! And Koji Yi couldn't bear to abandon them, so Koji took the soldiers who boarded the camp first and fled north on foot!
The soldiers are fully armed, with crossbows and 50 crossbow arrows, steel knives, special canopy swords, and iron armor all over the body, and the weight of each soldier is more than 100 catties, especially the canopy soldiers, the weight is more than 150 catties! The snow road is slippery, and the soldiers fall down from time to time! Under such conditions, in less than two hours, they traveled nearly forty miles, which is a miracle!
It wasn't until they were discovered by the Xuzhou soldiers who were chasing the rest of the defeated army that they stopped and formed a defensive formation!
The soldiers of the Xuzhou Legion attacked them several times in a row, but they were all beaten to the ground! As a last resort, they had to inform Tian Fan and let them come up with ideas!
When Tian Fan and the others came, it was already three watches!
At this time, more than 3,000 Xuzhou infantry and nearly 3,000 Xuzhou cavalry were divided into two groups, and they were looking at the first camp from afar! They did not surround the group of people who first boarded the camp, but chose a position three hundred steps away from them, resting and monitoring at the same time! There is a threat of cavalry, and Koji can only form a formation to defend, without any delusional attempt to escape! If you flee and the formation is disorganized, you can only be slaughtered by cavalry! And the infantry cavalry in Xuzhou also suffered enough of the loss of the first camp, and did not dare to attack easily! …,
Therefore, these three armies echoed each other from afar without embarrassment, but no one dared to take action!
Seeing Tian Fan and others coming, Wei Yan, Hao Zhao, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing and others hurriedly greeted them!
After giving the salute, Tian Fan asked, "How many times have you attacked?" How much is lost? ”
Wei Yan blushed a little, and he snorted for a long time before he said, "I found them first!" They attacked twice before and after, losing more than 700 people, but they didn't even get into the ...... within 100 paces."
Cao Xing was also a little unnatural, he said: "I rushed once, 1,500 cavalry, but I attacked them closely, but ...... There was still no result, but more than 400 people were lost......"
Lu Bu was taken aback, and he asked, "Cao Xing, are you serious?" ”
Cao Xuan nodded and said, "Wenhou, are they ...... Amazing! The crossbows were so powerful, and their men were so elite that we rushed to the front...... However, the impact of the war horse could not even break through their iron bucket array! ”
Several people glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but look at Gao Shun!
Gao Shun smiled slightly and said, "It seems that I really have to have a good competition with this Kojiyi!" ”
At this time, Lu Bu had already given up the idea of attacking Koji Yi! After listening to Cao Xing's explanation, he already understood that even if he could break through the defense line of the first camp, he was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses! It's not worth it!
Tian Fan didn't speak immediately! He looked around and looked at the nearby scenery, then bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy, everyone, we have been busy since last night, and until now, we have not eaten, why don't you eat and rest at this time?" Hehe, well, let's go around, go to the north of Koyi, set up a pot stove, slaughter a few fat pigs, and eat a good meal before talking about the war! ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned! But as soon as they heard about eating, they also felt so hungry that they were concentrating on their backs!
Tian Fan said in a loud voice: "Cao Xing listens to the order!" ”
Cao Xuan hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”
"You lead a thousand cavalry back to Juxian, bring me enough pots, stoves, firewood and grass for 8,000 people to eat, and in addition, bring me 8,000 catties of pork! Hahaha, today, I will personally instruct the guys to cook a delicious meal for everyone! Oh, and don't forget to bring some good wine! Since the war, I haven't let go of it yet, so I have a good drink! ”
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Tian Fan yelled: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Today's big victory, I want to drink a celebration wine! Just go! ”
Cao Xuan hurriedly hugged his fists and left, and the rest of the people looked at Tian Fan in a daze! What the hell is this Tian Fan?
