Chapter 502: The Biography of Lu Bu (8)
β180 A.D.ββ
"Lord Bongsen! Lord Bongsen! Think again! β
The horse Gao Shun was riding at this time was snatched from a Xiliang baggage team, which was much more powerful than the other horses transported in the same batch, but even then he couldn't catch up with Lu Bu, and could only shout loudly.
That "Red Cloud", which should have been in his twilight years, ran faster the older he was......
"What? Do you think this strategy is inappropriate? Lu Bu slowed down slightly and replied impatiently.
"Your Excellency......" Gao Shun gasped twice, and then said: "You said that you want to deal with the mountain cavalry and their commanders, I believe in the strength of the adults, and after you can't find their traces, you said that you want to snatch and burn the baggage to lead them to find it, I believe in the wisdom of the adult, you destroyed the baggage all the way to Weishui, I believe that the adult has a strategy, but now you say that you want to occupy Chencang alone?" β
"Ah...... So what? Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought about the chaos he wanted to make a mess along the way, and always had to deal with the aftermath, but he naturally wouldn't admit it: "The city wall of that kind of small city, Uncle Ben can collapse it with a halberd." β
"That's what the Lord said when he attacked the Weishui Baggage Fleet." Gao Shun retorted: "After the Lord took great pains to destroy one of the ships, the other four have already taken the opportunity to slip away. β
"Wouldn't that just be able to spread Uncle Ben's unstoppable deeds?" Lu Buyang raised his chin: "If they go and call for reinforcements, Uncle Ben hasn't killed it yet!" β
"Adults are thousands of people and ten thousand enemies, but what about Captain Zhang Ke and Captain Guan Hai?" Gao Shun asked.
ββ¦β¦ What is it for them? Lu Bu frowned.
"The rebels and the Qiang people don't need to get baggage from this Weishui, and the only supply force for these baggage ships is the main force of the rebels near Fufeng County," Gao Shun sighed, but had to explain in detail: "What if they arrive at the rebel camp, and the opposing lord will know that Lord Fengxian is acting alone, so he will send a large army to encircle and suppress the 'trapped camp' that has not yet withdrawn?" β
"As for Lord Fengxian...... Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu's face and added: "Afraid of the prestige of the lord, they will definitely not dare to send a nobody to send them to death, but if the lord goes deep into the enemy-occupied area and appears in Chencang City, under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, I don't know how many adults can kill?" β
"Could it be that Uncle Ben just withdrew?" Lu Bu said angrily: "That guy Li Ru made Uncle Ben adapt to the situation, the 'change' of the mountain ride is there, where is the 'opportunity'?" β
"This ......" Gao Shun has some wisdom, but he can't do it if he wants to solve the current situation.
The two sides seem to be equal in numbers, but there are about three or five different factions on the part of the official army, each with their own agenda, and it is almost impossible to expect them to work together to repel the rebels regardless of the losses - losses? Who's out?
And the rebels are roughly divided into two parts, the rebels who have no power to ask for and just want to make a profit, and the former Liangzhou generals who want to tear the soil and claim the king, although they are not close, there is no contradiction, and there are some cold lips and teeth.
With Gao Shun's vision, he can only see here, and he has no clue how to use these characteristics to win.
"Those 'smart people', heh," Seeing that Gao Shun had nothing to say, Lu Bu snorted and continued to instigate the "Red Cloud" to go west: "If you compare with them who is doing the most correct thing, I'm afraid you will want to break your head." β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Gao Shun wanted to speak and stopped, and clamped the horse's belly to keep up.
"So," Lu Bu raised the iron halberd in his hand and pointed ahead, "I can't think of a specific strategy, so I made a big fuss and let them think of a solution, they are so smart, they must have thought that we would mess up." β
No...... No one would have thought that you would attack the city alone, so Gao Shun decided that it was better to keep silent.
ββββ
"Gao Shun, I thought of a plan."
When approaching Chencang City, Lu Bu stood on a high ground, looked at the Qiang people who were scattered to the city from a distance, and suddenly said.
"Oh...... I would like to hear your Excellency's high opinion. Gao Shun replied without much hope.
Although it was not very suitable, he hoped that the Qiang people would recognize LΓΌ Bu along the way, and then cause a siege and make the attack plan fail, so that he could persuade LΓΌ Bu to adopt other strategies.
As a result, those Qiang people were blind one by one, and it was clear that Lu Bu was dangling in front of them, but when they talked about trapping the camp, they ignored Lu Bu at all, saying that the leader of the trapping camp was a "bull demon king" who was "three feet tall, with sharp horns and thick hooves, a mouth that spits flames, and holds thunder and lightning in his hand".
Lu Bu was happy to hear this, and explained to Gao Shun that the Qiang people have a special complex for cattle, and they will sacrifice to the "Ox King" every major festival, and if something bad happens, he will be punished by the "Bull Demon King" - so he is simply worshiped as a fairy.
Gao Shun just wanted to say this...... That obviously and the Central Plains people said that "committing Tai Sui" means the same thing, General Lu Tai Sui.
"I don't think Chen Cang's guards are strict, so he should be able to blend in," Lu Bu said: "You don't have to bother attacking the city, just slaughter the guards, and the guards seem to be called ...... 'Yu Culture'?" β
"It's Li Wenhou, don't pronounce it according to the Qiang accent," Gao Shun said: "But this strategy is better than directly attacking the city." β
"You think so too? Then ......" Lu Bu was about to tell his specific plan, when he heard a jagged roar from outside Chencang City, near Weishui-"The will to fall into battle!" There is death and no life! β
"What?!"
In the blink of an eye, I saw that there were thousands of Qiang horsemen carrying the same Han people of more than 1,000 people dragged from the south, but when they approached Chencang City, they were stopped and killed by a group of thousands of infantry equipped with swords and shields and shouting the slogan of trapping the camp.
"How can this be true? This is a fanatic from there! Lu Bu was dissatisfied: "The slogans are not even shouted!" β
"The point is here?!" Gao Shun finally couldn't hold back and blurted out.
Lu Bu was about to respond, but saw that the situation below had changed again, after the "trapped camp" killed and dispersed the escort cavalry, he was arranging for the Han people to evacuate, but he was attacked by a Qiang cavalry with nearly 10,000 people in an oblique stab, so he put up a circular formation to defend and fight and retreat.
"Poor! It's so poor! Lu Bu was furious: "It's not like imitating the trapping camp, the combat effectiveness is still so low, it's just insulting Uncle Ben!" β
"Hmm...... It seems that something is wrong......" Gao Shun looked at the city wall of Chencang, and saw from a distance a Qiang leader who was about the commander was standing on the city wall watching the battle, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could vaguely tell what he was thinking and judging.
Is it Li Wenhou? Gao Shun thought quickly, not sending troops to help in this situation can only prove that he is also strange about this "chance encounter" outside the city, unless there is something that can strengthen his confidence-
"[You shit! Lost Uncle Ben's face! With a burst of shouts, red thunder and lightning fell from the sky, wrapping Lu Bulian and his horses, and then, he jumped off the cliff directly on horseback, and killed the "Qiang cavalry" that was attacking the "trapped camp": "[Let Uncle Ben teach you what it means to be a 'unparalleled army in the world'! ] γβ
"Lord Niu!" "Bull Demon King!" "It's Lu Bu! Look at the red and black thunder and lightning! You fools! The nearby Qiang people exclaimed.
"This ......" Gao Shun noticed that General Chen Cang, who was still hesitating, saw Lu Bu flying down, waved his hand directly, and ordered the troops in the city to go out to respond, "Could it be that it is really as Lord Fengxian said, as long as it is messed up?" β
ββββ
"Boom!!"
The target that Lu Bu rushed to was a sword-eyed eagle-eyed, with a serious expression, holding a long sword, it seemed to be the blue-shirted man of the leader of this cavalry, he saw Lu Bu killing, he did not panic, just raised his hand and waved, and a figure almost identical to him appeared on the way of Lu Bu's assault, and when his strength was not fired, he opened the iron halberd in his hand.
"Not bad!" Lu Bu casually circled the iron halberd that swung back in half a circle and slashed back again: "Try Uncle Ben's trick again!" β
"You can't get through here!" Beside the young man with the sword, another strange man with a single knife and an eyepatch slashed towards the iron halberd with a loud shout, obviously a slash, but it achieved the effect of parrying, making Lu Bu's attack useless again.
"Ahh Brother Xuan, you peerless can't cope with a quick and protracted battle~" A little farther away, the man wearing heavy armor, slightly chubby, and holding a short bow kept shooting a rain of arrows at Lu Bu in his mouth, and he didn't stop shooting a rain of arrows at Lu Bu in his hand, successfully stopping him from further attacks.
"Yuan Jean! Wonderful! The blue-shirted young man set up his long sword, and several phantoms that were exactly the same as the sword appeared around him: "Chen Cang's reinforcements have been released, you act according to the plan, I can deal with him - this is a military order!" β
"Arrogant boy!" Seeing that the other two turned around and left, Lu Bu didn't chase after him, and took half a step back and raised the iron halberd in his hand: "Uncle Ben is impatient to distinguish between those phantoms and fakes, so you will be bombarded to scum with them!" β
The crimson thunderbolt suddenly converged and shone brightly on the iron halberd, and then projected irregularly towards the surroundings, and everywhere it passed, many phantoms around the blue-shirted young man were annihilated and cleared.
"Mengde, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall."
When the red thunder and lightning were about to sweep over the blue-shirted young man, he was dressed in a black robe, and the young man who was also not very old, but his face was more amiable, and the young man rushed with two streamers, one black and one white, and with the words, the two streamers turned into layers of large and small circles, blocking the red thunder and lightning outside.
"Xuande, what's wrong with Youruo's plan?" The young man known as Meng De couldn't look back at all in the face of Lu Bu's pressure, and just asked.
"It was successfully achieved, General Dian and Yun Chang originally wanted to come to help, but I sent them to command the troops." The streamer stopped, and Lu Bu saw that the black and white were twin swords that were as delicate as works of art.
"You don't seem to be the real Qiang people...... Lu Bu looked at the "Qiang cavalry" in the distance who had defeated the Qiang reinforcements sent by Chen Cangcheng and entered the door, and found that he had made an oolong, so he began to think about how to ignore it.
"Boom!" A little farther away on the Weishui River, there were several tattered and familiar baggage boats on the shore, and then a man in red armor and a bright red coat jumped down from it, shouting loudly and rushing to this side: "Who is Lu Bu, who was beaten badly by Ma Teng and Pang De?" Sun is here to save you! β
ββ¦β¦ Heh," Lu Bu paused and changed his words: "Although you are not Qiang, but since you three 'guys who look very capable of fighting' are here, let Uncle Ben have a good fight!" β
