Chapter 930: The Iron Army is in danger of changing banners and Liu Dai

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Qingzhou, Lu Bu suddenly made a move, rushing to do it at the juncture of spring ploughing, Lu Bu's purpose was to destroy the enemy's spring ploughing, or did he want to take the enemy's territory before spring ploughing?

Lu Bu personally went out and surrounded Yan County, now Yan County is alone, there is no back road for enemies all around, Yan County is like a big piece of fat meat, everyone wants to eat, but they are all worried about the opponent, of course, Liu Dai is not an opponent, now that Lu Bu has made the first move, others are scruples, at least before Liu Dai makes an effective response, everyone is unlikely to make a move. “,

Song Hufeng's letter for help was placed on Liu Dai's desk early, but Liu Dai was still worried, according to Liu Dai's intelligence, in recent times, the Iron Army and Lu Bu's envoy have been in close contact, just when Liu Dai thought that the Iron Army would throw himself into Lu Bu, Lu Bu suddenly sent troops to attack Yan County, what's strange in this! Is it a trap to lure yourself into sending troops?

In fact, in Liu Dai's heart, he was neither willing to take risks for the Iron Army, let alone offend the strongest enemy Lu Bu, the so-called Iron Army had close contacts with Lu Bu or something, but more to provide Liu Dai with an excuse not to send troops. "Look

As Lü Bu besieged Yanxian but did not attack, or attacked but did not conquer, Liu Dai also became more and more suspicious that Tiejun had some shady dealings with Lü Bu.

As a result, Song Hufeng's letters for help turned into meat buns for beating dogs. Liu Dai's immobility surprised the surrounding princes, but thinking about Liu Dai's personality, it is not difficult to understand.

Yan County is completely cut off from foreign aid and logistics. Song Hufeng wrote an ultimatum to Liu Dai, but Liu Dai scoffed at it and didn't even bother to write a reply. It's just that Liu Dai didn't know that this letter for help was sent out because he was afraid of getting lost halfway, so he sent out a lot of letters, and some of them fell into the hands of others, so. Liu Dai's reputation of not being saved when he saw death was spread, and by the time Liu Dai knew, it was too late.

Yan County has changed flags! The Iron Army fell to Lu Bu. For the first time, Lu Bu's power extended to the edge of the Yellow River, which is of great significance, first of all, on behalf of Gongsun Zhan, he was attacked by Lu Bu on both sides. Secondly. Lü Bu was able to conduct large-scale trade on the Yellow River and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Dai lost the role of Lu Bu in Yan County, which Liu Dai did not understand until Lu Bu suddenly waved his army eastward.

Lu Bu immediately divided his troops into two routes, one was the Iron Army Department that had just changed banners, Song Hufeng led the army to occupy Changyuan, pointing at Dongming, and the other Lu Bu personally led to attack the injustice. The injustice sentence is the west gate of Jiyin County's Dingtao, and as soon as the injustice sentence is lost, Tao will face Lu Bu's soldiers.

Although Liu Dai knows the importance of injustice. And put in heavy troops to defend, but in the face of Lu Bu's strong combat power, it is useless to have many soldiers, fortunately, Lu Bu does not like to climb the city, but likes to use cavalry to slowly besiege, completely reduce the morale of the defenders in the city to zero, and then easily take the city.

Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen have different military concepts, Fang Zhiwen strives for a quick victory, if the war is delayed, Fang Zhiwen will reduce the intensity, pay attention to the sense of rhythm and key strikes. And Lu Bu likes to destroy the will of the enemy, and does not care much about the cost of time, because Lu Bu has very strong control on the battlefield, so he ignores the impact of time on the battle situation, and the other is that the battles of the ancients are usually protracted, so Lu Bu's ideology does not think that there is any problem with time-saving.

Although Pang Yuan felt that he should pay attention to the issue of time, but because Lu Bu's army was biased towards cavalry, and the infantry defense capability was acceptable, the attack was not enough, so from a tactical point of view, it could only use the form of cavalry siege, which was still the most efficient tactical choice in comparison.

Lü Bu launched an attack earlier than Song Hufeng, Song Hufeng first had to establish a supply point in Changyuan with Cao Xing, and then he could wave his army to attack Dongming in the east, and the purpose of choosing to attack Dongming was actually to block Han Fu's attempt to go south and prevent Han Fu from taking advantage of it when Lü Bu annexed Liu Dai.

As for the other princes, Pang Yuan is not too worried, now Yuan Shao is having a headache how to deal with Fang Zhiwen's bloodletting, and Cao Cao has just finished the Xuzhou War, and the injuries on his body have not been wrapped up, and more importantly, even if Cao Cao wants to go to war, he will choose Zhang Liang first, otherwise Cheng Yu's hatred of being assassinated will not be reported, where will Cao Cao's face go?

If Cao Cao attacks Zhang Liang in Runan, Zhang Liang's destruction of Runan and Chen County is likely to be Cao Cao's next target, and at this time it is obviously not a good choice to fight with Lu Bu.

Therefore, there is only one person who can compete with Lu Bu for Liu Dai's territory, and capturing Dongming is the best position to block Han Fu's southward movement.

Although the Iron Army marched into Dongming a little later, the attack form of the Iron Army was completely different from that of Lu Bu, and the defenders of Dongming itself were far less than so many injustices, with the cooperation of Cao Xing's cavalry, the Iron Army bombarded Dongming with long-range troops, and after a day, Song Hufeng personally led the heavy infantry to attack at night, coupled with Dian Wei's fierce full force, Dongming was captured by the Iron Army in one day and one night, and the Iron Army, which had been silent for some time, suddenly shot again, and it was a big victory as soon as it was shot!

Cao Xuan also witnessed the strong infantry of the Iron Army, especially the heavy infantry, and saw Dian Wei crushing the defenders like gods and demons at the head of the city, Cao Xuan knew that he was definitely not an opponent, but he didn't know if the Gao Shun brothers, who were famous for commanding heavy infantry, would be able to stop this crazy demon-like cowman!

At the same time, Cao Xing's vision and ability of the military advisor are even more admired, and the military advisor has a sharp mouth and two lips, and he has leveled such a strong force of the Iron Army, and the enemy army, which was originally still a problem in Lu Bu's heart, has become a sharp weapon in Lu Bu's hands in the blink of an eye.

Dongming fell, Juyang and Heze were exposed to the front of the Iron Army, Cao Xing's cavalry was one step ahead, directly sent Juyang, Juyang defenders were worried that the Iron Army would attack Heze, if Heze was lost, Juyang would become a lonely city, so Cao Xing appeared under Juyang, the defenders immediately panicked, and at night, taking advantage of Cao Xing's repeated assault physical strength, Juyang's defenders quietly slipped out from the east, and then fled to Heze in a circle.

However, these fleeing defenders did not expect that Lu Bu, who was still besieging Juju, quietly divided his troops to the north, and assaulted the infantry pulled from Juyang outside Heze City.

Subsequently, Lü Bu ordered Hou Cheng to pretend to be a rout, and flocked to Heze, Heze's defenders did not know what to do, and Hou Cheng easily captured the city gate, and then Lü Bu's cavalry broke into the city, and Heze was captured by Lü Bu without even making a decent resistance.

The fall of Heze made the existence of the injustice meaningless, and Lü Bu's cavalry had already come to the outside of Dingtao City from the north, and the panicked Liu Dai immediately ordered the defenders in the city to withdraw to Dingtao, and this erroneous order once again sent the defenders of the injustice to death.

Although there were as many as 80,000 defenders, how could these 80,000 infantry outrun Lu Bu's cavalry, Wei Xu, who stayed outside the city of Wrong, immediately embellished the retreating defenders, constantly harassing and entangled, slowing down their pace, and before they could reach half the distance, Lu Bu's cavalry had already arrived from Heze, so a few of the 80,000 infantry were annihilated, and most of them became Lu Bu's army.

I have to say that Liu Dai is really a qualified transport captain!

On March 9 of the fourth year of Guangxi, Dingtao was besieged, Liu Dai did not escape, but stayed in Dingtao to fight with Lu Bu, although Lu Bu is strong, but Dingtao is a first-class city, the wall is high and the city is strong, and it is indeed a bit whimsical to want to use cavalry to capture, of course, now Lu Bu still has a strong infantry in his hands, that is, the Iron Army.

There are also nearly 100,000 newly surrendered Liu Dai troops, these are all infantry, as long as they are trained a little, they can be used regularly

So Lü Bu left Chen Gong and Cao Xing in Dingtao, controlled the 100,000 infantry, and cooperated with Song Hufeng to attack Dingtao, while Lü Bu led the cavalry to capture the Chengshi, Jishi, Chengwu, and Shan Father cities in Jiyin County one by one, and even Changyi, which was occupied by Liu Dai in Shanyang County, also fell into the hands of Lü Bu.

Under Pang Yuan's operation, Lu Bu concentrated the population in the city, and then sold part of the small town to the aliens, and then put the materials in exchange for the construction of the city, in addition to a slight reduction in cultivated land, it has a positive effect on the defense and development of the city, after all, the Central Plains is not quiet now, so it is the right choice to focus on defense first, as for the problem of reducing arable land, it can be purchased or shared from players who have obtained arable land, and the problem is not big.

In less than a month, under Lu Bu's thunderous offensive, Liu Dai's territory was almost lost, and only one Dingtao City remained, basically, Liu Dai's fall was only a matter of time, and Lu Bu's actions further simplified the situation in the Central Plains, and now the Central Plains is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

As for Gongsun Chan and Kong Rong, they are basically a soy sauce character.

In Fang Zhiwen's view, the current situation in the Central Plains is about to stabilize due to the similar strength of the four families, and the war in the Central Plains has finally entered a relatively stable period.

Perhaps, these warlords of the Central Plains will soon set their sights on the periphery, unless there are any drastic changes and serious mistakes among these four warlords, the internal pattern of the Central Plains will be difficult to break for a while.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Liang, Cai Mao, Zhang Bao, Sun Ce and other slightly inferior princes will bear more pressure from the four major warlords of the Central Plains, which is the trend of the times, and the four warlords have grown into big tigers, and these monkeys will naturally become their next target.

Of course, the Central Plains will not stop immediately, at least Qingzhou will fight again, and Runan is also about to burst into flames, maybe Cao Cao and Yuan Shu need to collide again! To be continued...
