Chapter 19: The First Battle
"Lord, something is not good, the vanguard of Yangzhou City is less than ten miles away from my cottage, and there are 5,000 people!" As soon as he left the camp, a thief leader quickly came to Lu Bu and knelt down on one knee.
"So fast!?" Lu Bu couldn't help but be taken aback, turned his head to look at Xiaodao and Li Xiang and said: "Gather the men and horses, first take down this vanguard force that doesn't know whether to live or die, and rub the sharp spirit of the officers and soldiers!" "The distance of ten miles, if it is regular, you can reach the foot of the Prison Dragon Mountain in a quarter of an hour.
"Whoa!" Xiaodao and Li Xiang responded, and immediately began to gather troops.
Outside the prison dragon village, Yangzhou city staff general Liao Yong with 5,000 troops rushed to the direction of the prison dragon village, looking at the prison dragon mountain that was already faintly recognizable not far ahead, Liao Yong's heart swelled with a sense of pride, the husband is alive, since he should be across the field, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, the prison dragon village, is my Liao Yong's famous place!
"General, be careful, this prisoner Dragon Village is not an ordinary bandit grass coward, last time, General Wang Chong was negligent in taking precautions, and two thousand five hundred elites were all lost here!" A partial general looked at Liao Yong and didn't seem to have the slightest sense of precaution, and couldn't help but remind him aloud.
"Humph! This general has been fighting for many years, how can Wang Chong's straw bag be compared, if you want me to say, the general manager of Wei Chi has a high opinion of this prison dragon village, and it has just been upgraded to a level 5 cottage, and the strength is probably about 4,000 people, and with my five thousand sons, it is enough to level this prison dragon village. He glanced at the general with some displeasure, and was quite dissatisfied with his comparison with Wang Chong.
"Silence! There is an enemy! Liao Yong suddenly waved his hand, and his somewhat arrogant gaze instantly became cold and solemn, looking at the direction of the prison dragon village from a distance, the dust was flying, and a group of bandits under the leadership of a military general quickly concentrated here.
"Array!"
Liao Yong is indeed not comparable to Wang Chong's kind of straw bag, as a confidant general under Wei Chigong, his ability to march and fight is many times stronger than Wang Chong's kind of battlefield junior brother, and the soldiers under his command quickly lined up in formation to face the bandit troops who came down from the prison dragon village.
"Three thousand soldiers and horses? Coupled with the horse thieves who intercepted our army outside, the prison dragon village is considered to be the whole army dispatched, hum. Liao Yong's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly judged the number of bandits in Longzhai Village, and couldn't help sneering: "Our army is strong, and we stay in the nest restlessly, and we dare to take the initiative to attack, which is really beyond our strength!" ”
"The whole army obeys the order, charge!" Looking at the scattered and disorganized, like a group of rabble bandits, Liao Yong has lost the patience to fight against the other party, so let General Ben use a hearty victory to tell these mud legs, what is the real elite!
The five thousand Sui army, under the leadership of Liao Yong, began to rush towards the bandit army that did not seem to have gained a firm foothold, and the hundreds of arrows that were sparsely pulled could not cause any real damage to these experienced veterans, seeing that the two armies were about to make contact, Lu Bu Fangtian in front of the formation waved his halberd and shouted coldly: "Retreat!" ”
The three thousand thieves did not hesitate, immediately turned around and ran, much faster than when they came, Liao Yong, who was about to kill, pounced, and felt like he was punching in the air with a fist in his heart, and roared angrily: "Kill, don't leave one, rush me!" ”
"Kill!"
Although he failed to exterminate this bandit in one go, the rout of the bandits obviously fueled the arrogance of the officers and soldiers, and they rushed out one by one, and the crazy pursuers fled the bandits, but Liao Yong did not notice that his own formation, unconsciously, became chaotic.
"General, further ahead is the Prison Dragon Village, the terrain here is unfavorable to our army, I am afraid there is an ambush!" Seeing that he was about to rush into the Prison Dragon Village, the general hurriedly rushed to Liao Yong to stop him.
"Get out of here!" A knife split an elite bandit sword and shield hand who desperately turned back to fight back in half, Liao Yong pushed the partial general away with some anger, it is rare that these bandits do not know whether they are alive or dead to come out to fight, if he does not take this opportunity to kill the prison dragon village, how can he be willing?
The general faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, since the prison dragon village became famous, every battle must be won, and even the army of bandits sent by the government can be annihilated without taking any advantage, how can such a cottage collapse at the touch of a button? It's obviously a conspiracy, but at this time, Liao Yong has already hit a real fire, and he doesn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all!
"Shoot the arrows!"
When the general was anxious and didn't know how to stop Liao Yong, a clear voice sounded in front of him, the sound was made from internal strength, although it was not big, but in the noisy battlefield, it made people hear it clearly, and the general was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything else, and shouted: "Retreat!" Evacuate! ”
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Almost at the same time as the general's voice sounded, countless arrows flew out of the dense forest on both sides, and before he knew it, the army had been led to a relatively narrow pipeline!
"Kill!"
Lu Bu, who had been hanging behind the last broken face, suddenly turned around, Fang Tian drew a halberd, and the surrounding dim space seemed to flash a flash of lightning, and seven or eight officers and soldiers who were chasing Zhenghuan were like being struck by lightning, and their bodies flew out upside down, turning into countless stumps and broken arms in the air.
"Kill~"
Since the establishment of the Prison Dragon Village, there has never been such a nest, when did these arrogant thieves suffer such anger, as soon as they heard Lu Bu's words, they suddenly turned around one by one, and roared madly to kill the officials and soldiers who were chasing Zhenghuan.
The bandits who were originally chased one by one like lost dogs suddenly turned into a group of howling wolves, which caught the officers and soldiers a little off guard, and their morale couldn't help but be stunned.
Since Lu Bu took over the prison dragon village, this is the first time that his subordinates and bandits have been allowed to fight head-on.
The bandits are against the officers and soldiers, no matter how fierce the bandits are, but they are psychologically weak, these bandits may not be able to find out, but Lu Bu knows very well that in his plan, he is ready to win this battle, so that the bandits have absolute confidence in facing the officers and soldiers, so that they can let them face the officers and soldiers.
It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, Wei Chigong mobilized the troops of the entire Yangzhou this time, which caught Lu Bu a little off guard, yes, in his opinion, even if he led the troops, he didn't want to take the prison dragon village without 12,000 troops, but this is because Lu Bu knew the root of the prison dragon village, but Wei Chi Gong didn't know about the Tibetan barracks, and suddenly mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses, obviously clearing the prison dragon village is not the main purpose, at least not the only purpose.
No matter what happened in Yangzhou City, but Lu Bu had to ensure that after he left, the Prison Dragon Village had the ability to protect itself, so this plan must be advanced, although in this way, there will be many unnecessary losses, but in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is worth him to do.
After experiencing the failure of the previous life, although Lu Bu is still bold and domineering in his surname, his soul has experienced a thousand years of loneliness, and has been reborn again, and gradually learns to take a long-term view.
The bandits' counterattack made the momentum of the officers and soldiers a little discharged, but it was only a slight leak, and the officers and soldiers who reacted in an instant, looking at these mud legs who dared to provoke them, suddenly felt extremely angry, and pounced on the bandits even more frantically.
Arrows continue to shoot out in the dense forests on both sides, harvesting the lives of the officers and soldiers, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers are gradually increasing. Liao Yong was a little puzzled, the strength of the Prison Dragon Village now has far exceeded the upper limit of the strength of a fourth-level cottage, where did they get so many soldiers?
But now is not the time to think about this, we must find a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible, turning his eyes, Liao Yong suddenly locked his eyes on Lu Bu, who was killing all sides on the battlefield, Fang Tian's halberd was originally a killing weapon created for war, with Lu Bu, the killing god, Fang Tian's halberd had at least ten soldiers die in his hands every time it danced.
The surrounding officers and soldiers gradually began to avoid Lu Bu, and they had a cowardly mood towards Lu Bu, often where Lu Bu rushed, the officers and soldiers would squeeze back like a snake and scorpion, but the bandits were morale soaring, and the officers and soldiers were originally quite strict formations, but under Lu Bu's repeated conflicts, they gradually became more and more chaotic.
"Dog thief, eat me!"
Liao Yong looked at Lu Bu, only to feel a passionate blood rising from his heart, shouted, waved his knife and rushed straight towards Lu Bu, although his surname is a little hot, but the military strategy is not bad, or he can't get Wei Chi Gongyi as a confidant, if Lu Bu is allowed to rush and kill like this, soon, the officers and troops will be scattered, divided and surrounded, and broken by the bandits.
Killing Lu Bu was the only way to reverse the defeat, and he could see that the reason why the thieves' morale was so high was because of Lu Bu's existence.
"Good time!"
Seeing Liao Yong coming back, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he was worried that he couldn't find the chief general of the official army, but he didn't expect Liao Yong to automatically send it to the door, and Fang Tian's halberd crossed a strange arc in the air.
Liao Yong, who was charging, suddenly felt that the pressure around him had suddenly increased several times, and looked at Lu Bu with some horror, obviously he was just one person, but it made him feel a sense of suffocation in the face of thousands of troops, and the big knife that was originally extremely easy to handle seemed to suddenly lag.
"Qiang~"
The swords and halberds intersected, and a fierce and domineering force surged from the knife shaft, the two arms instantly lost consciousness, the madness in Liao Yong's eyes was instantly replaced by shock, and a stream of reverse blood surged up to his throat, Liao Yong's cheeks instantly turned red, and his whole body became sour and weak for a while.
"Get me down!"
Lu Bu didn't stop, he approached in an instant, the moment the two horses were staggered, the ape arm was lightly relaxed, grabbed Liao Yong's back collar, and lifted it off the horse, Liao Yong wanted to struggle, but a rushing evil aura made him lose the will to resist in an instant, it was a horror from the depths of his soul, and he looked at Lu Bu with some horror.
"Take it!"
casually threw Liao Yong to the ground, and immediately two swords and shields with strong skills stepped forward and tied Liao Yong with ropes.
"Kill!"
Seeing that Lu Bu actually captured Liao Yong alive, a partial general hurriedly rushed up, wanting to save Liao Yong, Lu Bu Fangtian painted a halberd vertical and horizontal, killing all directions, more than ten partial generals, there was no one together, just familiar, they were all killed by Lu Bu, for a while, the morale of the prison dragon village soared, but the officers and soldiers were paralyzed because of the main general, partial general, or captured, the command system was paralyzed, morale was low, and they fell into chaos, and they were soon divided and surrounded by bandits, in despair, most of them were either captured or killed, and only a few Xin were spared, Flee in rout.
