—180 A.D.——

Liangzhou, the right camp of Fufeng County.

A total of 50,000 lunges under Dong Zhuo's subordinates and stragglers were stationed here.

Lu Bu is riding a horse to inspect the "trapped camp" he has formed.

A few days ago, Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, led 30,000 Hanoi knights to come to the rescue, causing the rebels who had been invading the county from time to time to retreat for several miles, and initially stabilized the confusion among the people in Fufeng County because of the soldiers coming to the city.

However, Zhou Shen and his subordinates treated Dong Zhuo's subordinates with extreme contempt, calling them "militiamen", and ordered him to hand over the command of the troops and listen to orders under the account.

Dong Zhuo ignored it, but Li Ru was "afraid of military might", and led 5,000 "subordinates" to "listen to orders", and as expected, the 5,000 people were directly controlled by Zhou Shen and scattered into the reserve and baggage team of the Hanoi knights.

Even Lu Bu could see this abnormal behavior, but Zhou Shen had no suspicion because he didn't know about it, and when he was about to continue persecuting Dong Zhuo's subordinates according to the gourd painting scoop, he was approached by the county guard of Fufeng County.

The 5,000 people were the original defenders of Fufeng County, and the county guards lent them to him because they had confidence in Dong Zhuo's reputation, but Li Ru was detained when he "saw the arrival of the imperial army and went to return it", and he was furious.

Outsiders don't know how the county guard and Zhou Shen disputed, but the general of the Dangkou returned the detained men and horses, and set up a large camp far away from Dong Zhuo's headquarters, so that everyone in Fufeng County knew that he suffered a big loss.

"According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, the only people who can unconditionally command the world's soldiers and horses are the [General] and the [Emperor], and other reorganization acts at the same level must be negotiated by the commanders of both sides. ”

So what kind of strange "strategy" is that?

Even after listening to the ins and outs of this brother-in-law, Lu Bu still didn't quite understand, but at least he understood one thing: if you want to be an enemy of this kind of "strategist", you must directly rush to them and beat them violently, and trying to analyze their strategy is all self-inflicted.

————

"Ambition! There is death and no life! ”

The uniform battle cry of the trapped camp made Lu Bu wake up from his sigh of wisdom - sure enough, compared to any strategy, it was still the group of warriors under his command who were trustworthy.

The trap camp was made up of specially singled out tall and strong youths, dressed in heavy armor that ordinary swords and bows were helpless against, and armed with thick shields that could cope with the thrusts of light cavalry, and straight-backed single swords that had been improved to be more convenient for slashing.

Although they hadn't tried it yet, Lu Bu had no doubt that they would be able to defeat twice as many cavalry, and if it was an undisciplined, tattered alien light cavalry, it would probably be fine to have one enemy and four enemies.

The only problem is that the trapped camp cannot be mounted due to heavy equipment, and is counted as "heavy infantry" in terms of troops, and Lu Bu's favorite and best thing is to fight immediately, and the "red cloud" has a very fast foot, if it really fights, it may be that Lu Bu will take the lead in killing the other party's general, and disperse the soldiers.

Since this army was built by Lu Bu himself, except for Dong Zhuo, no one could say anything like "You'd better give it to someone else to lead", however, surprisingly, Lu Bu finally handed over its command to Gao Shun, and then began to cultivate Zhang Liao, who was not usually too important, which surprised Dong Zhuojun.

Lu Bu couldn't explain this, he just had a flash of inspiration when he formed the trapping camp, and he felt that Gao Shun was suitable to be their leader, and this Zhang Liao was just a fierce general when he grew up.

At the same time, there is also a method of how to "trap" this heavy infantry, which is being used to train them at this time, and what the effect is, can only be figured out when they go to the battlefield.

"Lord Bongsen." When Gao Shun saw Lu Bu appear, he ordered the trapping camp to train on its own, and rode his horse to meet him.

"Well, it's good, if you run in again, you can go into battle and kill the enemy." Both sides are military generals, so there is no need to pretend to ask "how is the training", morale, training or something, that kind of thing can be understood at a glance: "How do Guan Hai and Zhang Ke get along?" ”

"My lord, the two of them still disagree with each other, and they always want to overpower each other when they train, but they are both restrained." Gao Shun replied.

Guan Hai, who was born as a ranger, and Zhang Ke, who is a senior veteran, don't like each other, and it is natural that one thinks that the other party is too casual, and the other thinks that the other party is too dull, this one says that you can think more before you start, and that says you just think too much.

As far as Lu Bu is concerned, Zhang Ke's style of "why do you want to do so much, just cut it and you're done" is quite appetizing, but Guan Hai is used to following Lu Bu for a long time and getting used to him rushing out when he doesn't agree with him, so he has to learn from Gao Shun, and finally formed a steady and thoughtful style.

Looking at Guan Hai and Zhang Ke who led the training of the troops from a distance, Lu Bu vaguely felt that he saw Gao Shun and himself at the beginning, and shook his head with a little amusement: "They just lack a fierce battle." ”

"But," Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu was in a good mood, so he asked: "Although the 'trapping camp' has strong sword strength, and the tactics of 'breaking the formation, trapping the formation, and breaking the formation' are also sharper than ordinary infantry, the speed cannot be improved, what if the rebel cavalry bypasses us and ignores it?" ”

"Don't worry about this," Lu Bu waved his hand: "Because I can't think of it, I'll leave it to Li Ru to think about." ”

“……”

"Report-" Lu Bu was about to continue his inspection, when he suddenly saw a herald galloping on his horse, he turned over and dismounted at the gate of the camp, and rushed to Lu Bu to show the general order: "Lord Qiqi, there is a small group of rebels invading the Zuo Fufeng camp, General Dangkou led the army to pursue, and the lord ordered you to immediately lead the camp to the rescue." ”

"Huh...... rescue, so the guy's defeat is decided. Lu Bu sneered.

The herald did not dare to answer, and continued: "The lord ordered General Lu to set off immediately, and march along the Du River to camp near Duyang to wait, if he still does not see General Zhou's defeated army at noon tomorrow, he can set off for Qishan to rescue again." ”

"Look, it was clearly arranged," Lu Bu took the military order and turned to Gao Shun: "Do you understand how Zhou Shen was defeated that time?" ”

"There are some speculations, but the details are ......" Gao Shun thought about the incursion, pursuit, and the terrain between Fufeng, Duyang, and Qishan: "It was about General Zhou who rushed forward and ambushed in Qishan?" ”

"To put it simply, if he is rescued by us in Duyang, he is a fool, and if he has to let us go to Qishan to rescue, he can be called a waste," Lu Bu turned his horse's head and went to the big tent in the camp: "Pass the order to go down, pull out the camp and start the village!" ”

————

South of Duyang, north of Qishan, above an unnamed valley, half of the trapped camps are lying in ambush here.

"Lord Fengxian, today is really a good weather, suitable for cutting people." Zhang Ke was holding his big knife and looking at the valley, and hurriedly saluted when he saw Lu Bu.

"Excuse me, what's going on in the valley?" Lu Bu waved his hand, and looked at the sky by the way, it was gloomy and damp, it was completely impossible to attack with fire, and the rebels must have pursued more unscrupulously.

"It's not good, those Hanoi knights have been completely routed and are being chased by the tail," Zhang Ke gave up his observation position: "It's just that only the cavalry is pursuing, and probably the infantry of the rebels has been intercepted by General Gao halfway." ”

"Hmph, this shit." Lu Bu only glanced into the valley and turned his head away in disgust.

There were about thousands of scattered cavalry in the valley, throwing off their armor and carrying a banner with the word "Zhou", while resisting almost the same number of alien light cavalry around, they retreated in a chaotic manner towards the valley mouth on Lu Bu's side, or broke and fled.

According to the information that Lu Bu received one after another after his departure, this week Shen lost face in Fufeng, and planned to destroy the rebels' intrusive troops to breathe a sigh of relief, but he finally did not get too confused, he handed over the remaining army to the adjutant general, and he only brought 10,000 people to chase and kill the intrusive cavalry that was less than a thousand.

Because at the beginning, there was some gains, and the rebel camp that confronted Fufeng from afar did not move, so he was relieved and boldly pursued all the way, and finally was ambushed near Qishan in the dangerous terrain, losing most of the men and horses, and when he wanted to retreat, he found that the rebel camp had moved his position slightly, directly cut off his retreat, and had to turn around and retreat to Duyang.

As a result, at this time, the garrison of the rebels left in the nearby county town heard the wind and moved, like a jackal that smelled carrion, and pounced on this rout to bite this rout, if it weren't for the characteristics of the Three Rivers Knights' "desperate protection of the main general", probably the whole army would have been wiped out, although this kind of behavior is alluded to Dong Zhuo's words of "throwing the sons and brothers to dangerous places", but it is too ugly.

The rebels also knew about the "heavy infantry" sent by Fufeng to support, so when Gao Shun and Guan Hai led half of the trapped camp to the rescue, the other side also delayed them with infantry, and the cavalry continued to pursue the fleeing Three Rivers Knights.

And Lu Bu's dissatisfaction with Zhou Shen also lies in this, there are friendly troops coming to the rescue, you don't say regrouping and reflexively fighting again, at least you can't continue to escape, if the rescuer is an ordinary infantry, and there is no second support army here, after the defeated Sanhe cavalry was cut and scattered by the alien light cavalry, wouldn't the rescue force that couldn't escape be sent to death in vain?

"Lord Fengxian, can you do it?" Zhang Kechong gestured at the entrance of the valley with the big knife in his hand.

In a matter of moments, the fleeing cavalry had reached the exit of the valley, but the road narrowed suddenly, the width of the ranks on both sides shrank at the same time, and the casualties increased rapidly.

At this time, the cavalry on both sides had lost their speed and could only be called infantry on horseback, gathering together to slash and slash indiscriminately, and this dense formation was exactly what the "trapped camp" liked and was good at dealing with.

"Heh......" Lu Bu took a few steps back, and then suddenly rushed forward, and even the people and horses wrapped in dazzling red and black thunder and lightning volleyed towards the middle of the rebel cavalry formation: "[I am Lu Fengxian! Who dares to fight! 】”

"Don't let the general rob all the credit!" Zhang Ke also shouted: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”

Countless heavy infantry in ink-colored heavy armor and strong shields leaped down from the cliff that was no longer a threat to them: "[Ambition to be trapped! There is death and no life! 】”
