Chapter 508: The Biography of Lu Bu (9)
β181 A.D.ββ
Liangzhou, Chencangcheng.
"Hmph, even Li Wenyou's plan has to take one step at a time, what's going on with this Xun Chen? Do you really think you can 'plan thousands of miles away'? β
Lu Bu stood on the city wall, watching the generals of Chen Cang follow the predetermined plan or set up camp or tidy up the baggage, and couldn't help but feel annoyed:
"This guy left Uncle Ben in Chen Cang to guard the city, did he look down on Uncle Ben?"
"Lord Fengxian," Gao Shun on the side had to open his mouth to persuade: "This opportunity of 'one against ten thousand' is your own request." β
"Hey! Uncle Ben was asking to be a pioneer at that time! Lu Bu was even more annoyed.
"But...... There is no 'pioneer' position in Mr. Xun's plan. Gao Shun said helplessly: "You have also heard of the overall strategy. β
"What kind of Raushzi strategy, do you understand it," Lu Bu said: "What part is it to let Uncle Ben guard the city?" β
Gao Shun sighed, Lu Bu, a fierce general unparalleled in the world, if he was on the battlefield, he could make all kinds of extremely accurate judgments on the battle situation with his beastly intuition, but if it was a pre-war plan, no matter how many times he repeated it, he would not understand it at all.
Like Li Ru, Lu Bu adapted well to the command method of taking steps by step, not explaining, and only giving orders, but like Xun Chen, he directly spread out the overall plan clearly, and said that when he did whatever he did, he didn't know how to act.
Maybe in the future, there will be a strategist who can think of strategies that is simple and easy to understand, even Lu Bu can understand.
"Yes...... The first part," Gao Shun said helplessly: "Even if the 'mountain horse' betrays, but the remaining rebels who have to take the main road want to withdraw to Xiliang, whether it is through the Chencang Road or the Weishui waterway, they must pass through or even capture this city, so the adults are guarding here is 'one person to ten thousand troops'." β
"It's really much easier for you to explain it like this, then, Uncle Ben is here and let them have no return! Hahaha! Lu Bu laughed.
However, fortunately, Lord Feng Xian didn't understand much, Gao Shun secretly wiped a cold sweat, that Xun Chen, he really dared to say anything, he clearly stated that the possibility of Lu Bu being one enemy in this place is only one percent, and the other sixty percent may be rash attack or unfavorable defense to lose the city, and the last three percent may be that the other party will see that the guard will be Lu Bu, and directly turn around and find another way.
As for the possibility that the rebels were caught up by the official army halfway and defeated directly, Xun Chen directly asserted that "it is absolutely impossible", well...... "Xun's Eight Dragons" seem to be all officials in various parts of the imperial court, is it really good for you to belittle the Han officials and soldiers so much?
At present, at least the "other party directly turns around and goes back" may no longer exist, Gao Shun looked at the dust rising on the avenue in the distance and thought, no matter what, the banner of "Lu" fluttering on Chen Cangcheng's head is something that the rebel scouts cannot ignore, since they dare to come, they must have the idea of taking Chen Cang in one fell swoop.
As for Chen Cangcheng, Xun Chen only left 5,000 soldiers and horses for Lu Bu, although he has the title of "Bull Demon King", the negative image of "Niu Wangye", but he is not afraid of the local Qiang rebellion, but the rebel army will not care about what Ma Wang Ye Niu Wang Ye is.
ββββ
Woo β
When the rebels approached the city of Chencang, they directly blew the horn and launched an attack without stopping, if they were not chased by the officers and troops behind, or they looked down on the defenders of Chencang at all, otherwise they would never have been like this.
"Hah!" Lu Bu unexpectedly picked up his iron halberd: "Gao Shun, you lead the defenders to defend and attack the city, Uncle Ben wants to go out and play with them!" β
"Wait...... Hey? Gao Shun habitually stopped halfway, but suddenly found that this strategy was extremely appropriate.
With Lu Bu invading by the side, the rebels could not attack the city with all their strength, because that would give up the flank to Lu Bu, but if they attacked Lu Bu...... Not to mention the disparity in force, the defenders of Chencang could not please those rebels with bows and arrows alone under the condition that there was no siege pressure.
This didn't seem like an idea that Lu Bu could come up with at all, could it be that when did he fight a defensive battle that was also at a disadvantage?
"So, I wish you a victorious start." Eventually, Gao Shun said.
"Huh." Since the other party had already approached the city, even if he rode on the red cloud, his speed could not be increased, so Lu Bu jumped down from the city wall very simply with only an iron halberd - with the thunder and lightning around him.
"Lu Fengxian is here! Who dares to fight with me! β
Gao Shun could clearly see at the head of the city, like a tidal wave, tens of thousands of rebels who were closer to LΓΌ Bu all froze, and then this stagnation spread out into the distance like a ripple of water, like a boulder thrown into a pond.
The "water pattern" spread along the way, and it did not stop completely until it reached the two flags of "Bian" and "Han", and then the "water pattern" spread back as if receiving some order.
The affected rebels and Qiang people directly ignored Lu Bu who was blocking the road, desperately chased and cut down by him, and went straight to the wall of Chencang City in complete disregard.
Although Gao Shun couldn't guess what specific orders the other party had given, it was generally about "ignore Lu Bu and directly capture Chen Cang", and when he encounters an enemy who can't be defeated, he pretends that he doesn't exist? After a slight sigh, Gao Shun immediately began to run around the city wall to command the defense.
Boom - Bang -
LΓΌ Bu launched several "jumping strikes" towards the place where the rebels and Qiang people were densely populated - that is, jumping high, converging thunder and lightning on the weapon and smashing the ground somewhere, the impact and the cracking thunder and lightning blew all the people and horses touched away, but it did not achieve too good results at all, the loss of hundreds of men and horses was not painful for the army of nearly 100,000, if I had to say, those rebels fled from him even faster.
In a fit of rage, Lu Bu used the previous move against Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian, and the "Thunder and Lightning Halberd" that swirled and strafed countless electric rays around, although a large area of rebels was emptied, and the number was almost thousands, but after it stopped, the defeated soldiers that came after the follow-up replenishment filled the gap like waves caressing the beach, and even the brave saw the red and black thunder and lightning disappear, and shot at Lu Bu with bows and arrows from a distance.
"Trash Fish ββ!" The anger around Lu Bu was almost condensed into substance, and then he finally discovered the source of the "water pattern", and then activated the heavenly thunder again, and after killing those cold arrows, he lifted the iron halberd upside down, making himself rush towards the position of Bian Zhang and Han Sui's banner like a galloping carriage, and bounced all the blockers along the way upside down, shouting: "Suffer death!" Rats with their heads and tails hidden! β
The rebel generals were obviously taken aback, the speed at which the "water pattern" spread was significantly faster, but even if more rebel foot soldiers and Qiang cavalry gathered towards Lu Bu, it would not be able to slow his pace by half a minute, and the tall figure, the pitch-black heavy armor, and the red and black thunder and lightning that wrapped around it were as unstoppable as ghosts and gods.
When the two banners wavered and retreated, Lu Bu, who tore a trench out of the battlefield, finally arrived at the rebel army and met the commander of the other party's battle.
Han Sui still dared to look at Lu Bu with a challenging gaze, and after Bian Zhang confirmed that it was really Lu Bu who had arrived in front of him, he waved his hand and signaled his own soldiers to take action, and he turned around and fled.
"The thief is gone!" Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the charge to continue the pursuit, but unexpectedly, the dozens of rebel soldiers who were wearing heavy leather armor and were more robust than the other Qiang people actually fought to be half destroyed by the thunderbolt and stubbornly blocked his impact.
"Hmph...... Since you are to be faithful, then Uncle Ben will fulfill you! Seeing that the two main generals had successfully escaped, Lu Bu looked at those pro-soldiers angrily, and the iron halberd in his hand once again gathered a violent red and black thunderbolt.
"It can't be!" Some pro-soldiers subconsciously exclaimed: "We have studied the 'Peerless Warriors' of the Central Plains!" How can there be a 'Wushuang' that can be released continuously without a cost?! β
"Oh? It seems that you miscellaneous fish are still prepared? Lu Bu kept in his hands, turning the thunder and lightning that had just gathered into a huge spherical cage, enveloping himself and more than a dozen rebel soldiers: "I might as well tell you, the only thing that Uncle Ben's 'Wushuang' needs to consume is the life of your waste, and the thunder and lightning generated by killing one person is enough for Uncle Ben to kill ten more people!" β
The eyes of the "......" guards flashed, as if they were making small movements.
"Hehe......" Lu Bu looked at them and sneered: "It's a pity, although Uncle Ben's 'Wild Thunder Heavenly Prison' looks transparent, everything inside can't be transmitted to the outside world, you have achieved the mission of staying to spy on Uncle Ben's reality, but you can't pass it on, isn't it desperate?" β
After the guards were exposed, they were about to burst out, but when they saw the iron halberd in Lu Bu's hand, the huge thunder and lightning cage suddenly shrank, and within its original range of influence, except for Lu Bu, there was no grass.
"Bull Demon King! It's the Bull Demon King" "Let's not go against the Bull Demon King!" "It's cursed to turn into oats!"
The rebels and the Qiang army were cut off by Lu Bu with the strength of one person, and the rear army, which accounted for most of it, turned around and fled with Bian Zhang and Han Sui, while the front army was attacked from both sides, but instead desperately began to attack the city, as if it would rather face the vicious city defenders and powerful city defense equipment than to confront Lu Bu.
However, when Lu Bu walked back to Chen Cang slowly with the iron halberd, they collapsed and fled towards the "Chen Cang Road", obviously, these people thought that even if they fled to Yizhou Bashu, it would be much better than being killed by Lu Bu, and Gao Shun, who was already short of troops, would not stop him.
"Greetings to Lord Fengxian's triumph." Gao Shun ordered the soldiers to open the city gates to welcome LΓΌ Bu into the city.
"Tsk......" Lu Bu, who was a little unsatisfied, looked at the direction of the rebels' escape, and asked Gao Shun from afar: "You said that Xun Chen counted everything, what follow-up arrangements does he have for the possibility of Uncle Ben repelling the rebels?" β
"If the Lord has not fully demonstrated his strength in front of Mr. Xun, it is inevitable that he will make a mistake," Gao Shun first complimented Lu Bu before saying: "According to expectations, when the land route is cut off, the rebels will go to the ferry port by the Weishui River through the 'Hulu Valley' in the southwest, and other generals will ambush along the way." β
"Hmph, then let Uncle Ben personally go and see how his plan goes." LΓΌ Bu whistled, mounted his mount "Red Cloud" that ran out of the city, did not enter the city, turned his horse's head and chased straight in the direction of the rebels' escape.
