Hearing Ling Bing's report, both Zhang Chong and Xun You laughed, and saw Zhang Chong say to Xun You with a smile:

"How could you have thought that Lu Budu would start to use tricks? This is a scam. ”

Cai, who was standing behind him, didn't know why, and asked:

"Why, O king, is it defeated? The last general felt that whoever encountered the front of our army would be defeated by the wind. Then Lu Bu is also a human being, how can he be an exception? ”

Cai Qu's view represents the mentality of most of the generals of the Taishan Army today, that is, our Taishan Army is invincible in the world.

But Zhang Chong shook his head and said:

"If it is you, when you meet the edge of my army, will you retreat?"

Cai Qu's face turned red, patted his chest and promised:

"I, Cai, am indeed that kind of person? No matter how strong the enemy is, if he doesn't even have the courage to draw a sword, then he is considered a martial artist? It's better to go back and hug the little woman. ”

Then Cai did say viciously:

"In our Lao Cai, no matter how hard the enemy is, our Lao Cai will also bite a piece of meat from him."

Hearing Cai Cheng say this, Zhang Chong asked him rhetorically:

"You Lao Cai thinks like this, so do other people who feel like martial artists think like this? You have to understand who Lu Bu is, he was born in the border army, he was in the bitter cold, and he has lived a hard life. These people often regard life and death as not too heavy, but regard their martial arts reputation as higher than the sky, and you let these people be cowards, which means that these people are really frightened. ”

"But a fool who has lost his heart would dare to attack Zhao Yun's back camp?"

When the king said this, Cai did understand, he glanced at Xun Yu who was smiling on the side, and only felt that he was that stupid thing.

After Zhang Chong explained, he continued to say to the soldiers just now:

"You let Xie Bi take Wei Bojun to continue the pursuit."

If Cai did understand a little just now, now he is starting to be confused again. Didn't he already know that Lu Bu was retreating? Then let Lao Xie go after him? Isn't this a proper ambush?

But Cai did realize the fact that he was stupid, so he didn't speak, but listened silently.

Soon, the huge convoy continued to move forward, and the war was about to begin.

……

When the soldiers sent the king's military order back, Xie Bi knew what the king meant.

Previously, he also saw that Lu Bu in front of him was deceiving him, after all, looking at the carts and belongings scattered on the side of the road, and even some abandoned livestock, this seemed too deliberate.

So when the king asked him to pursue him, he understood that it was the king who led the serpent out of the hole.

In other words, of course, I am the bait.

However, there is nothing that Xie Bi can't accept at all, and there is even a kind of excitement that heroes are finally useful.

From last autumn to this spring, Xie Bi has been leading troops to reorganize and train in Handan to hone the combat effectiveness of the new and old armies.

And this time, after more than half a year of grinding, he finally waited for the opportunity for Wei Bojun to go on the expedition.

Ordered by the king, he wanted to take 5,000 Wei Bo troops through the Fukou Cheng from the flank into the Shangdang, but the division was disadvantageous, they underestimated the danger of Huguan, the army was blocked in Huguan for several days and could not enter, and finally Zhao Yun broke through Luxian, and the above party was too guarded to collect Huguan.

It is precisely because of this disadvantage that Xie Bi has to work harder.

In fact, whether it is his Wei Bojun or Zhao Yun's previous Crane Control Army, they actually began to be reorganized around last year, and even the Crane Control Army is a little slower.

In fact, this also reflects a trend, that is, the Taishan Army is gradually going to marshalization, in the past, the Taishan Army has been divided into theaters according to the five armies, except for the middle guard army left in Yecheng, the other four armies are divided into various towns.

However, with the long-term division of the army, it is inevitable that a regional hill will be formed, which Zhang Chong clearly opposed in the political hall before, and then the reform of the military system.

In the five armies, except for Guan Yu's Marshal of the Left Army, because it was in the heart of the Central Plains, the situation faced was the most complicated, so the army had not yet been reorganized, and the other armies, like Wei Bojun, began to reform the military system.

First of all, with the Central Protector Army as the main force, and the elite battalion heads of the other three armies were transferred to form a new forbidden army.

And successively formed the "Flying Dragon", "Tiger Wing", "Control Crane", "Holding the Sun", "Gongsheng", "Tianwu", "Xuanwu", "Dingwu", "Yiwu", "Zhenwu" 12 armies.

These twelve military numbers, with a total of 60,000 soldiers, are called the Central Forbidden Army.

In addition to the Central Forbidden Army, with the remaining three armies as the backbone, many Outer Forbidden Armies were organized and trained, and they were distributed in various important places.

For example, Xie Bi's Wei Bojun was set up in Handan, with 5,000 soldiers. There are others, such as the Lu Long Army stationed in Pingzhou, the Yunzhong Army stationed in Daibei, and so on, with about 60,000 soldiers.

In this way, the core armament of the Taishan Army has been formed, with 120,000 victorious soldiers.

And when there were more people, the competition for this battle attack was fierce, so after winning the king's order, Xie Bi took five thousand Wei Bo soldiers to speed up the pursuit.

The main body of Wei Bo's army is the configuration of 3,000 infantry armor and 1,000 cavalry, and at this time, as the pursuing party, it is naturally the cavalry army that goes first.

Xie Bi knew that this time the pursuit was risky, so he decided to personally lead the cavalry to pursue. The engineer battalion in front had already erected a bridge on the frozen water, and Xie Bi and others quickly passed the pontoon bridge.

After passing through a pile of scattered baggage, Xie Bi quickly grabbed the tail of the Bingzhou soldier.

But contrary to Xie Bi's expectations, the actions of the soldiers in front of them were beyond imagination, and there was no panic of fleeing for their lives at all, but it was like a spring outing.

It wasn't until Xie Bi arrived with the cavalry that these people made a mess of it in hindsight.

But they obviously also have good military qualities, when Xie Bi's cavalry appeared, these people first drove out about hundreds of people, guarded a barracks, and then guarded there steadily.

And the rest of the soldiers began to assemble and form a solid military formation.

At this time, Xie Bi was even more sure that the enemy army had ambushes, and he did not take advantage of the enemy's formation to attack, but slowly stopped with the cavalry.

Xie Bi built a pergola with his hands, and the garrison looked at it from a distance, and the more he looked at it, the more serious his face became, but on the other side, Lu Bu's Daxu had slowly appeared on the battlefield.

What does that mean? This Lu Bu is not an ambush? Straight to the head-to-head battle?

Lu Bu also has a certain reputation in the Taishan Army, this person seriously injured Ma Chao head-on, and broke the camp of the Crane Control Army, it can be said that no matter which one is taken out, it is the top.

So seeing that Lu Bu personally led the troops to meet the attack, he didn't dare to slack off, and instead gave orders to the soldiers behind:

"As the main vanguard, our army must win the first battle, let the teams check their armaments, and listen to my horn later."

Many of the cavalry in Wei Bo's army were Wuhuan people back then, and unlike those Wuhuan people in Pingzhou's hometown, these people were professional warriors who participated in the war in Han all year round.

The knights of the old family also needed to herd the sheep, scatter the horses, and sometimes when the hands were tight, they had to milk the goats themselves. But the Wuhuan warriors in Han are different, as professional warriors, they study one thing all day long, how to kill people efficiently.

After these people defected from the camp of the Han army to the camp of the Taishan army, they began to learn Chinese and wear Hanfu, but what remained unchanged was the belligerence.

These fighting men, who can only prove their existence through war, clamored after hearing the commander's military order.

What Jiuyuan Lu Bu? I don't even recognize it, let alone the knife in my hand? It's useless for anyone to come, it's just a matter of a knife.

So, the horns blew, the flags flew, and more than a thousand cavalry lined up in a dense formation on the river beach on the south bank of the frozen water, ready to launch the first round of assault.

……

A moment later, Xie Bi's Daxu moved to the forefront of the front, although he was not known for his martial bravery, but since he was in charge of the cavalry, he had to rush to the front line.

So that the brethren can see you and follow you.

Wei Bo's cavalry was lined up with ten people, and Shi was at the head of the platoon, with a brass flute whistle in his mouth to control the rhythm of the team, and a small flag was inserted behind his back, with his own military number and establishment written on it, which was used to identify the whole team.

At the forefront, there were bursts of dense horns under the big line, the first pass was over, all the knights put the horse lance flat, and the second pass was over, and the platoons had slowly urged the war horses.

When the third horn came, more than a thousand cavalry galloped together, and the horn sound never ended, accompanied by the sound of dense horse hooves, it was simply a storm, and Mount Tai was overwhelming.

And when the Taishan army began to charge, the soldiers of the opposite side, or more precisely, the Shangdang soldiers, were also changing formations.

Judging from the banner of the main general on the opposite side, he should have wanted the Shangdang soldiers to form a chariot formation, relying on the baggage cart, and shooting with a strong bow and crossbow.

But unfortunately, in the end, it depends on whether everyone can do it.

Lu Bu and these people are experts in using cavalry, but they either don't pay attention to infantry training, or they don't.

This is actually a common problem for most border generals, Gongsun Zhan, who has died in the Zhongren Pavilion, just doesn't care about infantry training, and only assassinates with a protruding charge.

And now Lu Bu and these people are the same, the path is dependent, tilting more resources to the cavalry with more attack power and mobility, and ignoring the infantry.

And at this moment, these party soldiers also gave Lu Bu the answer.

On this battlefield, there were probably more than 4,000 Shangdang soldiers, these people had never practiced cavalry confrontation training, and at this moment, when they saw the scene of more than 1,000 cavalry charging on the opposite side, everyone was trembling.

No one had ever told them that a thousand cavalry would be so terrifying when they charged.

Therefore, even though the gongs and drums of the Fang Fang were loud, and the slashing team composed of the border army shouted loudly, it still could not stop the collapse of the camp.

Never before has a soldier charged with such a large cavalry, and it would be too much for you to ask him to stand there to his senses waiting to be trampled to death.

In this way, Xie Bi's army was just a charge, and before he came into contact with the enemy army, those party soldiers dissipated like frost and snow.

And this scene of retreat like a minion, but the killing intent of these Taishan troops was even more stimulated, in the face of the enemy army who only left their backs to themselves, these professional warriors used the horse lance in their hands to pick and kill one by one, and some even felt that this killing was too slow, so they simply replaced it with a ring head knife.

In this way, on the edge of the Tarzan army's assault cavalry, countless lives withered under the ring-headed sword.

Maybe these Tarzan soldiers will silently lament the death of these people after the war, but I'm sorry, here, at this time, when you pick up your sword and gun and aim it at me, it is my enemy.

As for the enemy, the Taishan army has always been like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, rough and cruel.

Soon, the rout of the party soldiers in the front swept the rear, and those troops who remained in the rear also began to disperse one after another, and some generals even abandoned the army and fled to the south.

The hundreds of soldiers who were the first to seize a fortification, originally their task was to serve as a strategic fulcrum of the battlefield to keep an eye on the enemy's flank, but when they saw that the friendly forces were so useless, they had to run towards the valley to the west.

A general of the Taishan army saw it, and chased and killed it with more than 20 horsemen, and then these people failed to organize a resistance, and were killed by the enemy army, which was only one-twentieth of his own number.

Everything went so smoothly.

When Xie Bi under the Great Command watched his soldiers chasing after the north and wantonly harvesting the heads, he had only one thought:

"Lu Bu, that's it?"

But as the veteran general of the Taishan Army, Xie Bi was not willing to think of the enemy like this, he secretly wondered, is this the enemy's method, is it to ambush himself during the pursuit?

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to withdraw his troops and gave up the pursuit of the remaining scattered Bingzhou army.

And when Jin Sheng made a big move, soon more than ten riders rushed over with a big banner, which was the "Lu" flag.

Then the question is, Daxu is here, so where are the Lu Bu people?

Thinking of this, he repeatedly looked at the surrounding terrain, and suddenly a bold idea came to Xie Bi's mind.

He opened his mouth wide in disbelief:

"Is he going to ......?"

……

At the eastern foot of Taiyue Mountain, continuous hills rise and fall, and countless lives arise and disappear here.

In the midst of this lush jungle, there is a mountain hut where some of the displaced people who fled into the mountains and their descendants gathered.

Even though this is already the edge of the Taiyue Mountains, it is still desolate and sparse, which also has the advantage that no one comes to you to collect taxes.

But today, the shanliao who lived in this small settlement are in ruin.

It's not because they did anything wrong, it's not that they offended anyone, just because a Han soldier passed by and killed them.

At this time, in the center of this settlement, Zhang Liao couldn't bear to look at the open space on the side, where dozens of corpses were piled up in a mess, and there were even children who were not knee-high.

He tried, trying to save these people, at least the child.

But Lü Bu laughed at the kindness of his woman, telling him what if these people let them go and expose their whereabouts to the Taishan army? When the time comes, it will be dozens of their brothers who will die.

Zhang Liao sighed, but still tried to ask why he didn't even let the child go.

Lu Bu seemed to recall, he told Zhang Liao that this was the child's life, and even if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to survive in this mountain forest.

It was for this reason that the settlement was wiped out.

In fact, Zhang Liao knows that these are reasons, but not reasons. Because he knew Lu Bu and these people, these warriors who grew up in the frontier lands endured hardships that ordinary people could not understand, which honed their will and combat power on the one hand, but also planted a violent beastly nature in their hearts.

War and slaughter have always been the best means to vent their bestial nature, and the slaughter of the unresisting mountain people is their pleasure.

At this moment, Zhang Liao suddenly had the urge to leave these people.

For he is not a beast, but a man, a man who longs for the light.

At this time, he heard Lu Bu call him over.

Burying his mind carefully, Zhang Liao stopped looking at the child and turned away.

But he knew that he would never forget.
