Although his face was so solemn that it seemed to be about to drip water, Huangfu Song did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the whole army to alternately escort and slowly retreat.

The veteran Zhu Jun is a bystander, from Lu Bu successively showed a strong crossbow in a vehicle, a heavily armored foot soldier, and a shield connected to cross the river, it can be seen that the opportunity for this battle has been lost, and if the battle continues, it is nothing more than a loss from the two sides, and it will eventually end with the defeat of the Guanzhong army.

Because the elite cavalry, which the Bingzhou army relied on the most, had not yet shown up at this time, once it crossed the river, it would have an overwhelming advantage over the archers, crossbowmen, and light infantry of the Guanzhong army, which were poorly protected.

Perhaps at that time, the only people who could compete with the state elite cavalry were the three thousand Western Liang elite cavalry that the Xiliang army came to help.

But the problem is that it is not known whether Ma Chao and Ma Chao will obey the order to start a war when they play, and at this time, the Guanzhong Army's attempt to rely on the geographical advantage of Ba Shui to cause a large number of casualties among the Bingzhou Army has been frustrated.

As soon as Zhu Jun reminded him, Huangfu Song immediately came to his senses and understood that this was the right time to withdraw the army, and the state army was limited by the Baqiao Bridge and could not cross the river quickly, so it was difficult to cover up the whole army when he withdrew.

The movements of the Guanzhong Army all fell in the eyes of Lu Bu, the commander of the Bingzhou Army, if the two armies were not fighting across the river, this was the best time for the whole army to assault.

It's a pity!

Lu Bu sighed secretly in his heart, and heard Xu Huang beside him suggest: "Lord, why don't you pause the foot soldiers to cross the river, get out of the way, and let the elite ride cross the river to cover the killing?" ”

Lu Bu looked at the orderly withdrawal of troops on the other side, took a lot of effort, controlled this temptation, shook his head and said: "Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are both battlefield generals, seeing that this battlefield advantage has been lost, they immediately decided to withdraw their troops. There must be a safe arrangement, at this time rashly send out the elite cavalry, although it can kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, but under the attack of the enemy's strong bow and crossbow, the damage is also indispensable, it is better to be safe, Huangfu Song retreated, he can only retreat to Chang'an, we can grind slowly, we can grind him to death. ”

The latter case. It is also a possibility that Lu Bu, Xu Shu and others have discussed many times, that is, in case Huangfu Song sticks to Chang'an, how to break the enemy.

The best strategy is to drive out the people of the surrounding towns before besieging the city. A large number of people entered Chang'an, increasing the pressure on the supply of grain and grass for the defenders of Chang'an.

Gain: A fortified city like Chang'an. Only 40,000 horses. If you want to break through the fortified city of Chang'an, which is guarded by 20,000 defenders, even if you can finally capture it, the damage will be great.

But this strategy was also vetoed by Lu Bu, because he captured Chang'an and restored Guanzhong. Taking it as the foundation and core of the struggle for hegemony is a big deal for Lu Bu, driving the people around Chang'an into the lonely city of Chang'an and besieging the city. The people will be killed and injured, and it will lose the support of the people, and it is not good for Lu Bu to be entrenched in Guanzhong for a long time.

The withdrawal of the Guanzhong Army was orderly and steady.

First, the front-line engaged soldiers retreated, covered by the middle and rear armies, and then withdrew the central army, and so on alternately withdrawn, but in a matter of moments, the distance from the army that had crossed the river and the state army was widened.

It was Dian Wei who led the only 100 heavy armored soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and before he subdued Dian Wei, Lu Bu had already planned to build a heavy armored infantry, but it was limited by both people and heavy armor, and the progress has been slow.

A set of heavy armor with a full body, draped down, is not a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, it is difficult to even move his feet, let alone attack and fight. Therefore, the first difficulty in forming heavy armor infantry is people, only by finding the right person first, and then can a set of full-body heavy armor be tailored, so that you can continue the later drills and so on.

After subduing Dian Wei, Lu Bu knew that he was the best candidate to command this heavy armored infantry, with a big waist and a round waist, excellent force, like foot combat, not good at horse fighting, and then put on a full body of heavy armor, he was simply a humanoid tank of this era, completely invincible.

This battle was the most comfortable for him, he didn't need to worry about the enemy's bow and arrow shooting, and he didn't have to dodge the slashing of the enemy soldiers, all he had to do was to step forward, wield his halberd, and smash it step by step.

When there was no one in front of him, Dian Wei was still very depressed, and he felt that he had not yet killed a person, but when he took a step towards the place where the enemy soldiers gathered, the enemy soldiers immediately took two steps back as if they had been stepped on by the tail, so that he had no strength and nowhere to vent.

Now, these cowards simply turned around and ran, which made Dedianwei roar angrily: "Cowards, don't run! ”

His roar was still so loud and audible in the midst of the earth-shattering cheers that the enemy soldiers did not even dare to turn their heads, but quickened their feet, and ran away in the passage between the formations.

Bah!

Dian Wei subconsciously spat a mouthful of saliva, but immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help but shout bad luck, this kind of heavy armor of the whole body is fixed even in the face armor, this saliva did not spit on the ground, but spit in the face armor, which made him feel uncomfortable.

However, he alone could not remove the heavy armor, and he could only wait for the auxiliaries to cross the river before he could take it off with the help of the two of them.

This means that during this time, he can only wear this set of iron bumps, like a fool, standing here and waiting, there is no fight to fight, he can't sit, let alone lie down.

"Your grandmother's bunch of cowards!"

The suffocation in Dian Wei's heart turned into anger, and his whole body was filled in an instant, and he roared angrily at the retreating Guanzhong army, and the iron halberds in both hands were raised high, full of demonstrative.

Unexpectedly, a group of heavily armored foot soldiers behind him, like a model, shouted in unison, and at the same time, they also raised their short-handled battle axes in both hands, although the number was small, but the axes dripping with blood in a shiny were more effective than any roaring demonstrations, clearly announcing that everyone was not easy to mess with.

When Lu Bu led the crowd across the river, on the west bank of Bashui, there was no longer a single Guanzhong soldier standing, Lu Bu looked at Dian Wei and Zhang Yan who had just come on a good foot, and said on the horse: "In today's battle, you two have made great contributions. ”

Then he turned to Dian Wei and asked with a smile: "How about it, let's kill it well today." ”

The word "cool" immediately resonated in Dian Wei's heart, he smiled and replied: "It's cool enough, it's a group of cowards, I haven't killed enough, they all ran away." ”

This sentence is longer than all the words that Dian Wei has said since he came to Lu Bu's side, Zhang Yan has always known why Dian Wei is so silent, so he couldn't help but look at Dian Wei carefully for a while, and said secretly in his heart: Hey, could it be that this big man has changed his sex?

Everyone laughed, and Lu Bu laughed very happily, and said to Dian Wei: "Okay, it's cool, I have ordered all the generals and officials under my command, and if there are strong men who have found a suitable body type, they will all be collected and handed over to you to form a heavy armored battalion, and in the future on the battlefield, I want to see who can resist!" ”

"Good!"

Dian Wei replied very simply, and the reason in his tone was natural, and in Zhang Yan's ears, it was comparable to when Lu Bu received Dian Wei in Cangyan Valley, Lugu Mountain.

It was still early, and Lu Bu simply ordered the army to cross the river and advance, until it approached ten miles from Chang'an City, and then set up a large camp.

With his 40,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to besiege Chang'an City to death, but he still set up two large camps to guard the main roads on the east and west sides of Chang'an City, supplemented by 3,000 fine cavalry, which can completely cut off the connection and exchanges between Chang'an City and Guanzhong.

When the sky is slightly dark, the news of the battle between the state army and the Guanzhong army in Bashui is transmitted to a valley mouth in Nanshan located in the south of Chang'an City, which is connected with the Meridian Valley Post Road, this valley road is quite secret, but also twists and turns, narrow and difficult to walk, the advantage is that it can bypass the Meridian Pass, and reach the Wusong Station at the southeast corner of Chang'an City, that is, the post road that goes south to Nanyang through Wuguan.

Lurking here is the army sent by Liu Yan, the king of Shu, with 10,000 sharp soldiers, and the commander of the army is the eldest son of Liu Yan, the king of Shu, Liu Zhang.

Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu urged Liu Yan, the king of Shu, to send troops to Guanzhong, and cut off the back road of the Bingzhou army in Guanzhong without knowing the emperor Fu Song, so he also went out with the army, and even his long history Yan Pu also followed him.

Liu Zhang is just over thirty years old, and he looks several years older, with a fat body, a fat head and big ears, and his cheeks are like two fat lumps of flesh, as long as he moves, he will tremble.

After receiving the military information, Liu Zhang's face was expressionless, and he immediately summoned Zhang Lu and others to discuss countermeasures.

In a moment, there were nearly ten people sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, under Liu Zhang, that is, Zhang Lu, in addition, there was also the leading general Pang Xi, Zhang Lu's long history Yan Pu, Liu Zhang's staff Zhang Song, and the lieutenant general colonel.

Liu Zhang showed the military information he had obtained to everyone present, and when Zuihou saw it, he looked around and asked slowly: "Today, Huangfu Song met Lu Bu in Bashui, was defeated, and retreated to Chang'an. ”

Everyone was silent, and their eyes were all on Zhang Lu, because the proposal to send troops to Guanzhong was his strong advocacy, but Liu Zhang was not very enthusiastic about it.

Zhang Lu felt the hot gaze of everyone, coughed dryly, and replied: "Huangfu Song took the initiative to retreat, did not lose the army, and stuck to the Xiongcheng of Chang'an, Lu Bu's troops are insufficient, and it is difficult to besiege the city, let alone siege the city, my army might as well wait for the opportunity, and when the soldiers of the Bingzhou army are tired and the food is tight, then cut off the grain road behind the Bingzhou army, and fight with Huangfu Song before and after, and will be able to win in a battle." ”

This reason is very strong, but there are several problems that need to be solved urgently, one of which is how long the 10,000 army can hide in the valley of righteousness, and how long can it hide from the state army; Second, it is the daily cost of 10,000 troops, but it is not a small amount, which is transported from Hanzhong through the Meridian Valley Post Road, which is time-consuming, laborious and laborious, just waiting for such a so-called good opportunity, whether it is worth it; zuihou, is this the case, can he really cut off the grain road behind the state army as he wishes, and fight with Huangfu Song in front and back, and win the battle?

The silence of everyone gave Zhang Lu a lot of pressure, he looked at this, looked at that, and almost couldn't see the meaning of someone supporting him, only Yan Pu still supported as always, but at today's meeting, Yan Pu was not very easy to speak out rashly.

After a long time, Liu Zhang turned to Zhang Song and asked, "Ziqiao (PS: Zhang Song's character Ziqiao), what do you think?" (To be continued......)
