Chapter 1229: The Battle Tide Reversed
"What's going on??"
Looking at the endless army in front of him, Lu Bu was a little broken!
When he woke up, he found that he was surrounded, which made Lu Bu feel very lost.
In his prediction, maybe Shang Ji would have some hidden killer move, and then die after a bloody battle, or break through many obstacles and successfully cut off the Liaoxi Corridor.
However, Lu Bu never expected that this battle would end before it began.
It was surrounded by a dense army of troops, and the exact number could not be calculated at all.
If it is simply a huge number, forget it, the full cavalry of the Lu Bu army, here is the most suitable grassland for cavalry to play, and there is no need to be afraid at all.
However, the number of troops here is not only numerous, but also outrageously high.
Even if the soldiers are strong, the generals of this army even poured cold water on Lu Bu's head, almost making him doubt his life.
As soon as he found out that something was wrong, Lu Bu tried to organize a breakthrough with manpower, but the result was unfavorable, and the vanguard army was beaten back. Lu Bu, who did not believe in evil, personally took action and led elite troops to attack, trying to break the encirclement.
Then Huo Qubing led the first generation of Yulinwei to fight, and the combat power of both the army and the generals was not inferior to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was suppressed.
Later, the eight strong generals and others saw that the situation was not right, and they came to help the battle, and a general who made a bow in the war spirit army went out to fight, brushed and brushed three arrows, and shot down all the red tassels on the pockets of Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng.
The three of them didn't even have time to react during the whole process, if it weren't for the fact that this general didn't have murderous intentions, I'm afraid that all three of them would be corpses by now.
This military general with a bow is none other than Li Guang, the protagonist of the allusion [Li Guang is difficult to seal], and Li Guang's archery attainments have been perfectly reflected in another allusion [Li Guang shoots the tiger].
Without backup, Lu Bu did not dare to continue pestering, leaving Huo Qubing to lead the army back to the camp.
With the retreat of Lü Bu, it was also announced that Lü Bu's first breakout plan was officially bankrupt.
Lu Bu, who was beaten with a head full of baggage, couldn't understand at all, when and how did Shang Ji get such a large army with superior combat effectiveness? !
What made Lu Bu wonder even more was that since Shang Ji was so strong, why would he fight with the princes here? With this hundreds of millions of powerful troops, he won with his eyes closed, could it be that Shang Ji has a hobby of playing at home?
Of course, none of these issues are important now, and solving the current desperate situation is the most urgent problem for Lu Bu.
At the critical juncture, Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others completely put aside all their prejudices, truly united, worked together, and tried all kinds of ways to break through.
However, no matter what they did, they all ended up failing.
The opponent seemed to know their every move, and could always make the most correct and reasonable arrangement after Lu Bu's action, which made Lu Bu feel that he had nowhere to go.
Lu Bu clearly knew that this situation could not only be explained by the large number of enemy troops, but the most important reason was that the enemy commander's attainments in commanding operations had reached the point of perfection, and his tactical level had already reached the peak!
What Lu Bu didn't know was that it was Wei Qing who was in charge of the overall command, and in history, Wei Qing was best at large-scale corps operations.
Fortunately, these mysteriously appearing Shang Ji troops did not seem to be in a hurry to eliminate Lu Bu's army, as long as Lu Bu showed no signs of breaking through, the mysterious army did not take the initiative to attack.
Lü Bujun was trapped here for five days, during which he tried all methods, but in the end he gained nothing but the loss of his troops. On the contrary, the encirclement network of the War Spirit Army has shrunk even tighter.
And with the passage of time, the news that Lu Bu was trapped in Muzhou was inevitably transmitted.
The princes' first reaction was, of course, disbelief, and even some sneered. They believed that this was a rumor deliberately spread by Shang Ji in order to shake the morale of the alliance army. Intellectually speaking, on the vast and boundless prairie, it is almost impossible to trap the nine million elite iron cavalry personally commanded by Lu Bu.
Even if the Shang Ji army made an all-out move, it would defeat the Lu Bu army at most, and defeat and siege were completely two concepts!
But gradually, the princes began to have doubts in their hearts, especially Gao Shun, who was in charge of staying behind and annexing the state, and he was even more worried.
His contact with Lu Bu was all cut off a few days ago, and the flying horses sent by Gao Shun to contact Lu Bu were all sunk into the sea, and the Muzhou prairie was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up all the scouts sent by Gao Shun.
For a while, the gossip was flying all over the sky, and on the one hand, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and other princes disparaged the news as a rumor, and on the other hand, they quietly sent envoys to Gao Shun to verify.
But the key is that Gao Shun doesn't know anything either.
I don't know what the purpose of Shang Ji is, and he did not announce the news of the siege of Lu Bu's army from official channels, so that public opinion is turbulent, but the enemy and us are strangely silent.
However, this silence did not last long, in a hazy weather, Zhang Yan, who had been cowering in the Taihang Mountains, suddenly led a million Black Mountain troops out of the Taihang Mountains, and Yuan Shang, who was responsible for preventing Zhang Yan, was killed and collapsed.
With a sweeping force, the Montenegrin army conquered Changshan County almost overnight, and occupied the northern part of Zhongshan County, bordering the part of Youzhou ruled by Shangji.
The appearance of the Montenegrin Army was like a fire burning on the grassland, and the entire Jizhou quickly became turbulent.
As I said before, under the double oppression of Yuan Shao and the gate lord clan, the life of the people of Jizhou was miserable, and the Montenegrin army openly played the slogan of "waiting for the poor and the lowly, and all the rich", and violently attacked the gate lord clan by force, liberating the peasants who had become serfs, which was strongly welcomed by the people of Jizhou.
In just a few days, the strength of the Montenegrin army has swelled more than several times.
Under the influence of the Montenegrin Army and the activities of Qianfan, the Jizhou uprisings rose one after another, and in order to fight a decisive battle with Shangji, Yuan Shao transferred a large number of elite troops to the front line, resulting in the emptiness of the rear, most of the rebel armies, including the Montenegrin Army, were of course a rabble, but the Jizhou Army that stayed behind was basically a fish belly, and the combat effectiveness of both sides could be described as half a catty.
However, the morale of the rebel army was high, and the Jizhou garrison was warless and panicked, so that the rebel army on the battlefield was often able to beat the same number of Jizhou garrison troops.
At the same time that the Montenegrin Army stabbed Yuan Shao in the back, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Montenegrin Army, announced an alliance with the Shang Army, and denounced Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others for being disloyal and unjust, and called on the princes of the world to raise troops together to exterminate the rebels under the leadership of the Shang Gong.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army cannot be regarded as princes, because they don't even have their own fixed territory, so it can be said that they are a super-large rogue group.
However, at this critical moment, Zhang Yan's statement caused an uproar, and he also became the first separatist force to stand clearly on the side of Shangji.
