On December 8 of the first year of Jian'an, Tian Fan and his entourage rushed to Huailing County, and began to set up camp at a position ten miles away from Huailing and ten miles away from Qiaorui Daying.

At this time, it was noon, and Lu Bu had already received the news, rushed here, and strictly guarded it, monitoring the movements of the Qiaorui camp ten miles away!

It is very common for a large army to go out and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to carry out a surprise attack, and it is also an orthodox method of warfare. Therefore, Tian Fan and Lu Bu are also very careful!

Qiao Rui, in the Yuan Shu camp, is the third general in addition to Ji Ling and Liu Xun! However, this third only means that he is the third in status among the generals of Yuan Shujun! Tian Fan learned from the news obtained in the dark night that in fact, in terms of his ability to command troops, Qiao Rui should be the number one general in Yuan Shu's army! It's a pity that his martial arts are not as high as Ji Linggao, and his mouth is not as fast as Liu Xun's, so he can only be relegated to third!

Although Qiao Rui's level is very high, Tian Fan is not worried! How many people are under him, which one is not stronger than Qiao Rui? Lu Bu and Lu Yi don't talk about it first, even Wei Yan, Pang De, and Hao Zhao are not necessarily weaker than him!

The location Tian Fan chose was a flat land, suitable for camping. At this time, more than 7,000 cavalry were in charge of guarding under the leadership of Pang De, Cheng Lian, and Cao Xing, and the remaining 10,000 foot soldiers, under the leadership of Hao Zhao and Wei Yan, were camping!

And Tian Fan is talking to Lu Bu!

Lu Bu frowned, and said a little unwillingly: "Boguang, this bridge is really two!" The afternoon before yesterday, he had just arrived and was camping, and I took advantage of his unpreparedness to lead the cavalry to raid! Unexpectedly, this guy first released 5,000 cavalry and entangled us and others, and when I was fighting fiercely with his cavalry, preparing to annihilate the main force of his cavalry, the sound of gold suddenly sounded on his side! ”

Lu Bu's gaze looked a little dull, and after a while, he continued: "Since I led the troops, I have never seen a cavalry fleeing so fast!" Before we could start the pursuit, their remaining 4,000 cavalry immediately retreated! But it turned out that the boy from Qiao Rui had a good idea, and he used cavalry to entangle us, and the infantry hurriedly formed a formation! When I led the cavalry to catch up, their infantry formation let the cavalry into the formation, and then ten thousand arrows were fired! ”

Lu Bu shook his head and continued: "Fortunately, the quality of our cavalry is good, and when I saw that the situation was not good, I immediately ordered a retreat!" We circled around their formation a few times, trying to find a breakthrough, but we couldn't find it after looking for a long time! Later, I tried to assault twice, but I didn't catch anything, but I lost more than 400 soldiers! ”

After listening to what Lu Bu said about the war, Tian Fan's mind couldn't turn around! Qiao Rui, a small character who is not famous, has such a quick reaction ability? Imagine, when the infantry was preparing to camp, he was suddenly attacked by the cavalry, at this time, he was not confused, and he could immediately send his cavalry to delay time and quickly prepare the infantry formation.

Didn't the five thousand knights of Qiao Rui know that they were not Lu Bu's opponents? They must have known, but they still resolutely rushed to delay time, which shows that Qiao Rui has a lot of prestige in the hearts of these 30,000 soldiers! Also, the cavalry commanded by Lu Bu, although the combat power of his wolf cavalry is not as high as that of his previous Bingzhou wolf cavalry, but more than half a year of training has not been in vain, and their combat power is already very good! The time it takes for 8,000 people to fight the 5,000 people of Qiaorui and annihilate 1,000 people will not exceed two quarters of an hour, and he can organize the large formation of 25,000 infantry in two quarters of an hour, which is also a skill!

Tian Fan shook his head and said with some sore teeth: "Fengxian, it seems that this battle is not as easy to fight as I imagined!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I feel the same way!" Hehe, I met Ji Ling last time, and I felt that it was nothing more than that, and now I will meet Qiao Rui again, which makes me feel that Yuan Shu can have today's power, not just by virtue of the fourth world and the third duke! ”…,

Tian Fan nodded and said with emotion: "Yes!" Everything has a cause and effect, no one can gain power for no reason, hehe, in this chaotic world, none of the princes who can take advantage of the situation and can still exist in the world are simple characters! ”

This side of the carriage is encamped, and on the other side, in the big camp of Qiaorui, the soldiers are busy!

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the main general Qiao Rui, the deputy general Zhang Xun, and the marching commander Shi Yuanlian sat in the hall.

Qiao Rui's appearance is not as powerful as that of traditional generals, but his appearance is somewhat elegant! The face is white, the beard is short, and the hair is meticulous! At this time, he was dressed in black iron armor, his helmet was placed on the table in front of him, and he was closing his eyes to recuperate!

Deputy General Zhang Xun has a slightly dark face, eight-character eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thick lips, a beard, a strong face, wearing iron armor, and a long sword hanging from his waist. His big round eyes looked at the main general Qiao Rui in a daze, as if Qiao Rui was a stunning beauty!

The marching commander Shi Yuanlian, the word Yaoqing, has outstanding ability and elegant appearance. Dressed in a white long coat, the clothes are not new, they are already a little yellow, but they are very clean! He's closing his eyes too!

Seeing that Qiao Rui didn't speak, Zhang Xun said anxiously: "General, why haven't you given the order yet?" At this point, why don't you attack yet? ”

Qiao Rui didn't seem to hear it, and still closed her eyes and recuperated!

Zhang Xun turned his head to look at Yuan Jian and said, "Mr. Yuan, General Qiao listens to you the most, what do you say?" ”

Yuan Jian smiled slightly, closed his eyes and said, "General Zhang, don't worry!" General Bridge has his own plan! ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, his heart was furious, he slammed his fist on the low table in front of him, and the wine bowl and wine jug swished and flew up! Seeing that these things are about to land, good wine is bound to be wasted! But I saw Zhang Xun quickly probe his hands and catch the wine pot and bowl steadily! With a sigh of relief, he muttered quietly, "Whew, I almost wasted good wine!" ”

Qiao Rui's ancient face couldn't help but show a shallow smile!

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the big tent, Yuan Jian and Qiao Rui opened their eyes suddenly, and for a while, four eyes shot towards the door curtain like feather arrows!

After a while, the door curtain was lifted, and a small colonel hurriedly walked in, clenched his fists and said, "General Qiyu, Tian Fan's camp is about to be set up!" ”

Qiao Rui couldn't help but feel incredulous, and he asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The junior colonel nodded and said, "General, my subordinates have sent a total of a hundred spies, divided into ten groups, to monitor Tian Fanjun's camp from a distance......

He swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said with some shock: "Of the hundred scouts, only twelve came back, and the rest were all shot by Lu Bu's own soldiers!" Well, however, from the information provided by the remaining scouts, the subordinates can be sure that their Dazhai is almost complete! ”

Yuan Lian also felt incredible, he glanced at Qiao Rui, and also saw the surprise in Qiao Rui's eyes!

Yuan Lian nodded slightly, waved his hand to drive the little colonel out, turned his head to Qiao Rui and said, "General, it seems that the plan has to be changed!" At this point, we must attack immediately! ”

Qiao Rui nodded slowly, and said with regret: "I originally wanted to return the trick that Tian Fan used against Chen Lan and Lei Bo to him, but I didn't expect that their Dazhai was built so quickly!" ”

Gritting his teeth, his right fist clenched tightly, he said loudly: "Zhang Xun listens to the order!" ”

Zhang Xun's face flushed with excitement, he got up and clenched his fists, and shouted: "The end will be!" ”

Qiao Rui looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xun, I know that you are the lord's favorite general, but if you can't settle the battle this time, I will ask you!" Do you understand? ”

Zhang Xun nodded again and again, not impressed by Qiao Rui's tone at all, and said loudly: "The last general understands!" The general rest assured, the last general will guarantee to complete the task, hehe, you just wait for me to see you with Tian Fan's head! ”…,

Zhang Xun has a reckless personality and worships people with strong martial arts, when Sun Ce lived in Yuan Shu's place, he, Qiao Rui and Yang Hong were the only people in Yuan Shu's camp who respected Sun Ce! Therefore, the relationship between the three is also good!

Although Yuan Shu likes Zhang Xun more than Qiao Rui, he also knows that Qiao Rui is more qualified for the position of the main general of this war! Therefore, he specifically explained in his letter that Zhang Xun must obey Qiao Rui's dispatch!

Zhang Xun doesn't have any complaints, he is the kind of person who can fight if he has a fight, nothing else matters!

Seeing Qiao Rui nodding, he immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements!

Qiao Rui looked at Yuan Lian and said with a solemn face: "Mr. Yuan, this battle is dangerous, I'm afraid that Rui can't guarantee the safety of Mr., please take care!" ”

Yuan Jian smiled and said, "Life and death are in the sky, and the general doesn't have to worry about me!" But the general, you...... The cavalry commanded by Lu Fengxian was the elite in the hands of Liu Xuande...... Generals must be careful! ”

Qiao Rui nodded, Huo Ran stood up, and strode out of the big tent! Yuan Jian also followed out of the big tent!

When he came to the point platform, he looked at the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time in the audience, and shouted with his fist: "Beat the drums, prepare to attack!" ”

The earth-shattering drums immediately sounded in the camp, and the sergeants and soldiers of Yuan immediately started slowly under the orders of their respective commanders!

The gate of the village opened, and the soldiers of the Yuan army continued to open out and lined up at the gate of the camp.

Ten miles away, the Xuzhou soldiers have set up the frame of Dazhai, many fences have also been erected, and in another two quarters of an hour, Dazhai will be completely completed!

At this time, Tian Fan and the others were relieved, it seemed that Qiao Rui was not ready to attack while his foothold was not stable!

The sudden sound of earth-shattering drums woke everyone up from their beautiful fantasies!

Tian Fan and the others looked at each other, only to feel incredible, what did Qiao Rui want to do?

In the blink of an eye, Tian Fan figured out something, and a cold sweat broke out on his head!

Tian Fan hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Feng Xian, no matter what, you must block the enemy for me!" ”

Lu Bu glanced at the infantry soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely entangle them!" ”

All the foot soldiers, except for the first battalion and his three hundred ironclad army, participated in the labor of building Dazhai, one by two out of breath, this is not a good time to fight! Therefore, Tian Fan and Lu Bu immediately decided that no matter what, the seven thousand cavalry must buy a certain amount of time for the infantry array! Otherwise, this battle doesn't need to be fought, and the winner is already decided!
