Chapter 485: Don't Come Unharmed

Heads-up before the battle is a very naïve move. After the war was detached from competition and ritualization, heroic individual duels have become a distant legend. Usually no one does this, and doing it doesn't have any effect on the outcome. The two armies faced each other and challenged each other, only the second goods Lu Bu did this, he picked Guo Duo off the horse, but he failed to reverse the defeat, and still withdrew from Chang'an in disgrace.

Of course, Lu Xun would not take Wei Ba's heads-up seriously. In his opinion, this can only show that Wei Ba has no choice but to use this boring method. On the battlefield, there is no way to win, and you can only rely on provoking the other party to find opportunities, which is naturally a manifestation of incompetence. If Wei Ba really wants to have this ability, he can attack the city directly, why bother to come up with so many tricks.

Lu Xun ignored Wei Ba's clamor at all, he was thinking about whether Wei Ba had other intentions in doing this. Wei Ba is indeed stupid to do this, but Wei Ba in his impression should not be so stupid. There are only two possibilities for a person who is not stupid to do something stupid, one is that he is crazy, and the other is that he has ulterior motives.

Lu Xun hoped that Wei Ba would go crazy, but he couldn't help but prevent him from having ulterior motives.

Just as Wei Ba locked himself in the room and meditated, speculating about Lu Xun's psychology, Lu Xun was also speculating about Wei Ba's psychology. However, he is more experienced, so he is not as entangled as Wei Ba. He behaved calmly, so calm that everyone around him felt like he had a winning ticket in his hands.

In fact, Lu Xun was also entangled, he didn't expect Wei Ba to conquer Lipu so smoothly, and he didn't expect Wei Ba to dare to kill under Yuanling City with 2,000 people and call him out. If Wei Ba hadn't gone crazy. Then there is only one possibility: Wei Ba saw his reality and reality.

His forces were seriously underwhelmed.

In order to be in a hurry, Lu Xun rushed from Wuchang to Yuanling with more than 100 personal guards. Fifteen or six hundred miles, he only took seven days, of course, such a speed can only be achieved by cavalry, and by small groups of cavalry, it is impossible for foot soldiers to complete such a marching task. Lu Xun has nearly 10,000 elite troops, but these elite troops are still on the way, and it will take at least ten days to reach Yuanling.

If then the trilogy is around, Lu Xun will open the city gates. Fight to the death with Wei Ba. He wanted to catch Wei Ba very much. Wei Ba took the initiative to send it to the door, and he had no reason not to laugh. However, he had no troops, and in addition to less than a hundred guards and cavalry, there were only 2,000 left-behind soldiers left by Pan Jun. I want to play against Wei Ba. The winner is between two sides. If you want to catch Wei Ba, it is even more wishful thinking.

Of course, Lu Xun wouldn't do such a thing, so he could only endure it. Turning a blind eye to Wei Ba's arrogant challenge.

Lu Xun has such a cultivation, but it does not mean that his subordinates also have such a cultivation. Seeing Wei Ba showing off his might in front of the battle, the Wu army in the city was very angry and depressed. And those barbarians who also came from various tribes looked at the jubilant barbarians under the city, and naturally felt a little sour in their hearts.

Pan Jun's subordinates were mainly Jingzhou people, and half of them were barbarians recruited from various tribes. Barbarians are good at martial arts and bravery, and if they disagree, they will draw their swords against each other. They fought bravely and were always the first choice for conscription. Because of this, the barbarians felt very ashamed of Lu Xun's silence.

Invisibly, they prefer to have a brave Shangguan like Wei Ba, although it seems a bit stupid to Lu Xun to do this, but in the eyes of the barbarians, this is like a man, like a warrior.

This sentiment became even stronger when Wei Ba's challenge was not responded to, and then sent out to scold the master. Dozens of barbarians scolded under the city, scolding the famous auxiliary general Lu Xun to the blood, and all the Wu troops were extremely angry, especially the barbarians who originally belonged to Pan Jun's department, they felt that they were innocent, Lu Xun was not their official at all, but now he was scolded so badly by the enemy, it was purely wronged.

As soon as he heard that it was a barbarian soldier scolding the formation, Lu Xun immediately understood - at least he thought he understood Wei Ba's intentions, and he ordered that no one should be allowed to fight, and those who violated the order would be beheaded. Wei Ba wanted to use such a naïve fierce battle method, so that he would not let Wei Ba succeed.

He didn't even allow crossbowmen to shoot, Yuanling was not a military town, and without a sharp weapon like a crossbow to defend the city, ordinary bows and crossbows couldn't shoot those people at all, and they would only laugh at them. Rather than so, it is better to be silent.

The city didn't react, and the city scolded even more happily. The barbarians scolded in different ways, scolding so much that the Wu soldiers in the city were red-faced and self-ashamed, and Lu Xun's personal guards were even more angry and gritted their teeth, but the calmest was Lu Xun himself.

Wei Ba scolded for three days in a row, but Lu Xun didn't leave the city. The battle between the two sides was only between the scouts, and the scouts sent by Lu Xun to the city were pursued by Wei Ba most closely, and it was difficult to come back once they left the city, either missing or their bodies were thrown under the city.

Yuanling City was actually surrounded by Wei Ba's 2,000 people, which was really a bit ridiculous, and the Wu soldiers in the city felt even more humiliated.

On the fourth day, when the morning sun rose, dozens of barbarians lazily carried weapons to the front of the formation, put down the wine and meat, and started the day's scolding formation, Lu Xun found that Wei Ba did not come to the formation as usual, but he was not fooled, and still ordered not to attack.

On the fifth day, Wei Ba also did not come.

On the sixth day, Wei Ba still didn't come.

On the seventh day, Lu Xun was a little uneasy and decided to give the order to attack. When he set off from Linyuan, Wei Jing had already promised to lead the troops to Youyang, Linyuan to Yuanling is more than 500 miles, according to Lu Xun's estimate, Wei Jing should be to Yuanling now, Wei Ba has not made progress under Yuanling City, and is likely to make a false move and secretly run to intercept Wei Jing. Of course, he can't let Wei Ba be so wishy-washy, he wants to contain Wei Ba and create opportunities for Wei Jing.

As soon as Lu Xun opened the city gate, the barbarians who were scolding happily saw it and ran away. When Lu Xun saw it, he was shocked, and immediately sent people to launch a tentative attack on Wei Ba's camp. After a meal, the soldiers who went out of the city came back and told Lu Xun a very unexpected news.

Outside the city was an empty camp, and there was no one except for the barbarians who were scolding the formation.

Lu Xun was taken aback, and suddenly understood what Wei Ba meant, and he immediately sent people down the water to search for Wei Ba's traces, and at the same time reminded Wei Jing to pay attention not to be ambushed.

……

One hundred and thirty miles east of Yuanling City, Hutou Mountain, Qinglang Beach.

Wei Ba stood behind a boulder, staring at the slowly approaching Wu army's ship formation, looking at the Weizi battle flag fluttering on the bow of the ship, and couldn't help but want to laugh. In Youshui, Wei Jing achieved his first merit, and today, Wei Jing will become his first merit in the duel with Lu Xun.

Wei Ba came to Yuanling, not to attack Yuanling City, 2,000 people to attack the city, unless there is a killing weapon such as artillery in his hand, otherwise this point of people is not enough to kill. His target is Wei Jing, who is a step to block Yuanling City and prevent Lu Xun from coming out, which is nothing more than cutting off the connection between Lu Xun and Wei Jing. When others were scolding under Yuanling City, their attention was all in the direction of Linyuan.

Wei Ba estimated that Lu Xun would think of this, so he made a slight adjustment to the plan, and did not wait for Wei Jing to rush to Yuanling to launch an attack, but chose Qinglang Beach, which is one hundred and thirty miles away from Yuanling, as the battlefield. On the fifth day after arriving at Yuanling City, when he received the news that Wei Jing was about to enter the ambush point, he quietly left the camp with the main force, leaving only those barbarians who were scolding to continue acting.

The time for him to do it was one day earlier than Lu Xun estimated, and the location was fifty or sixty miles farther than Lu Xun estimated.

The time of this day, the space of fifty-six miles, is the result of his careful planning and painstaking management, and it is the fighter plane he has been waiting for.

Now, Wei Jing has come to his mouth, and Lu Xun is still in Yuanling City, even if he realizes the danger and wants to rush here, he will not be able to arrive in a day. What's more, with Lu Xun's cautious character, it was impossible for him not to beware of him setting a trap halfway through, and he didn't dare to let go of his steps and march quickly. As a result, it could take him two days to reach the battlefield.

Two days was enough time for him to eat Wei Jing's reinforcements. This used to be the place where General Fubo's horse was wrapped in horse leather, and this will also be the place where Wei Jing was captured again.

Wei Ba stared at Wei Jing's warship, raised his arm high, and when Wei Jing's warship entered the predetermined location, he waved his arm vigorously and gave the order to attack.

The fierce war drums suddenly exploded, and the silent valley instantly lost its calm, and the crossbowmen who were ambushed on the cliffs on both sides emerged from their hiding places, pulled the crossbow machine, and poured a dense rain of arrows into the Wu army on the warship, the arrows were like dark clouds, and the sky above the Wu army was dark. The soldiers hiding on the shore struggled to row their warships and rushed towards the Wu army's warships in the middle of the Yuanshui, shouting like huge waves and rushing towards the panicked Wu army.

Wu Jun was not prepared at all, and the soldiers who were leisurely enjoying the scenery on the deck were shot down, and the rest of them crawled with a roll, looking for a place to lie down. The screams, the cries, the roars of rage, all converged, rushing into everyone's ears and hitting everyone's nerves.

Wei Jing was the object of the crossbowmen's attention, and the guards around Wei Jing suffered heavy casualties, and even Wei Jing himself was hit by two arrows, grinning in pain, and he couldn't help but die. He didn't care about his image, and ran towards the boat with a puff of smoke, and at the same time roared loudly: "Beat the drum! Drumming! ”

The drummers rushed to the drums, but they were attacked by a torrential rain of arrows, and one after another sharp arrows burst into the air, shooting the drummers so badly that they could not get close to the drums of war. Wei Jing's order could not be issued, and the Wu troops on each ship could only fight separately, some wanted to continue to rush forward, some wanted to retreat, some wanted to dock, and some wanted to resist on the spot.

Large and small warships collided with each other, and they were in a mess.

After a violent rain of arrows, countless corpses fell on the Wu army's warship, and the soldiers who were wounded by the arrows fell in pools of blood, groaning in pain. Few people were still standing, and the enemy's arrow array was so sudden and fierce that they simply did not have time to react and suffered heavy losses.

When Wang Shuang and the others rushed over, climbed onto the warship, and prepared to kill happily, they were surprised to find that there were not many enemies in front of them. Before the battle even began, the winner was already clear. Wang Shuang and the others didn't dare to be careless, they searched carefully, and when they dragged the pale-faced Wei Jing out of the corner, Wang Shuang smiled.

"Wei Fujun, don't come to harm?" (To be continued......)
