Chapter 30: Procrastination
When Lu Bu set up the barracks, he sent a lot of spies to patrol the neighborhood and monitor Li Dao's movements at the same time.
Li Wei sent Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to take the small road and go straight to Chang'an.
Lu Bu soon knew.
When Li Su heard the news, he knew that Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were attacking Chang'an.
He said a little anxiously: "General, Chang'an only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but Fan Chou and Zhang Ji have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses. If only ......"
Lu Bu interrupted Li Sudi's words. "Don't worry. Chang'an City has a thick wall, and Zhang Liao led 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison it, not to mention the assistance of Mr. Wenhe, it will be fine. ”
If Zhang Liao can't hold Chang'an like this, he is not worthy of being called the head of the five good generals.
Fan Chou and Zhang Ji wanted to conquer Chang'an with 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was simply whimsical.
Lu Bu was very confident in Zhang Liao, but Li Su didn't know Zhang Liao's ability.
Kill Dong Zhuo, and now Chang'an is their biggest reliance now. If Chang'an is lost, they will have no basis at all, and they don't know what to do with the road ahead.
Li Su said worriedly: "But ......"
Lu Bu kept a straight face, stared at Li Su and said seriously: "I believe in Zhang Wenyuan, he will definitely defend Chang'an and will not disappoint my expectations." Compared with its Chang'an, how to defeat Li Dao is what we should consider now. As long as you kill Li Dao, everything will no longer be a problem. ”
Hearing Lu Bu categorically say that Zhang Liao can hold Chang'an, don't worry. Even if Li Su was worried, he didn't dare to speak out anymore.
"Does the general have a clever plan to deal with Li Dao and them?"
Lu Bu sneered, "If they form a group, it will not be easy to defeat them. Now they divide their troops and want to attack Chang'an, which is to kill themselves. We can set up an ambush for them. ”
Li Su hurriedly asked, "What is the general's plan?" ”
In order not to leak the plan, Lu Bu did not tell his plan at the first time.
He comforted his subordinates and said, "Don't worry, first accompany the other party to play a play and lure the other party to take the bait." Then it will be time to take them down. ”
Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led troops to attack Chang'an, and Li Dao led an army of 40,000 to camp step by step, close to Lü Bu.
Hearing the report of the spies, Li Wei led the army to approach, and Lu Bu immediately asked Li Su to lead more than 10,000 infantry to guard the camp.
He led more than 14,000 cavalry to meet the battle.
Soon the two armies were three or four hundred paces away, and Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and slowly stepped forward.
He pointed at Li Dao with Fang Tian's halberd and shouted, "Li Dao'er, dare to fight with me!" ”
Competing with Lu Bu, Li Dao is not so stupid.
He rode out of a horse and shouted: "The competition is just a reckless man, you and I are both generals, if you have the ability, you can directly lead the army to tear it up." ”
Lu Bu laughed. "Hahaha...... Are you scared? Rat. Wash it up early, and wait for Ben Hou to take your head. ”
Li Dao also laughed. "Hahaha, a reckless man. In a few days, he will be defeated by our army and become a headless ghost. ”
Lu Bu shouted: "Incompetent rat generation, my Lu Bu's good head is here." Do you dare to take it? He also dared to say big things, and he was not afraid to flash his tongue. ”
Li Dao knew in his heart that he couldn't defeat Lu Bu on the front.
He waited for Guo Yan to attack Lu Bu's military camp and let Lu Bu return to the division, so that he could attack and threaten, so that Lu Bu could not take care of it.
He couldn't wait to quarrel with Lu Bu so that he could stall for time.
Li Dao continued to shout: "Lu Bu Xiao'er, if you have the ability, you will lead the army and kill me, if you don't dare, surrender quickly, I can spare you from dying." ”
Lu Bu didn't seem to know Li Dao's tricks at all, and shouted with Fang Tian's halberd. "Fight and not fight, fight and not fight. You dog thieves ......"
Just as Lu Bu continued to call for battle, a spy rode up to Lu Bu on horseback. He said: "General, there is an enemy army sneaking up on the camp. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he shouted. He pointed at Li Dao with Fang Tian's halberd and shouted, "Okay." You dog thief is actually stalling for time, and when I kill that thief, I will come and take your dog's life. Back to the teacher, let's go. ”
Lü Bu turned his horse's head and led the cavalry towards the barracks.
Seeing that Lu Bu had withdrawn his troops, Li Dao knew that his plan had worked.
He hurriedly shouted: "Keep up, don't let the enemy run!" ”
The army of three thousand flying bears wandered on one side, ready to attack at any time to intercept Lü Bu.
Li Dao led the army and followed Lu Bu.
At this time, Guo Yan's 30,000-strong army was attacking Lu Bu's camp.
"Huh~~Huh~~!"
The drums of war were deafening.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting desperately didn't have the heart to listen to the drums of war at this time.
Feathered arrows flew around like locusts, with a terrible whistling sound, and from time to time soldiers on both sides fell from arrows, screaming one after another.
The Xiliang soldiers were holding shields and knives and were attacking Lu Bu's camp.
The defenders of Lü Bu's army were also quite tenacious, and Zhonglang General Li Su was not afraid of Yashi and came to the front line in person.
Lu Bujun was very fierce, and when he saw the Xiliang army, they all pounced like cats and mice, killing the Xiliang army back.
"Quick, quick, attack Lao Tzu!"
Guo Yan shouted hoarsely to the soldiers to attack the camp as soon as possible.
But there are not many Xiliang troops who can really get close to the camp.
When the village was set up, Lu Bu set up the camp in all directions and eight stables, and built it according to the mountain. laid a lot of horses and hidden piles, which made Guo Yan's soldiers suffer a lot of losses.
When Guo Yan's army was hurrying to attack Lu Bu's camp, a spy quickly ran in front of Guo Yan. "General, Lu Bu is about to rush back with the army."
When Guo Yan heard this, he immediately ordered: "Withdraw the troops, we will withdraw!" ”
Hearing the order, Guo Yanjun hurriedly retreated.
When Lü Bu returned to the barracks, Guo Bi led his troops to retreat for three or four miles, taking into account Li Dao's army, Lü Bu did not rush to pursue.
After returning to the camp to rest for a long time, when Lu Bu attacked again, Li Dao repeated his old tricks.
For four days in a row, Li Dao and Guo Yan dragged Lu Bu to Chongquan County, so that Lu Bu could not advance or retreat.
Chang'an City.
Because Lü Bu led the army to go on the expedition, there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and the guard general Zhang Liao ordered that only one hour a day should be left for the residents of the city to enter and exit, purchase firewood and other materials, and close the city gate for the rest of the time, beware that the enemy might lead the army to raid Chang'an.
At the same time, Zhang Liao himself personally led more than 100 soldiers to inspect the four gates of the city from time to time.
The lieutenants Li Meng and Wang Fang, who were guarding the north gate, were anxious. They came to the tower and looked north, as if they were looking for something!
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. Li Meng and Wang Fang listened attentively, and suddenly showed joy on the ground.
It was the footsteps of tens of thousands of soldiers rushing in!
A moment later, a large army of no less than 20,000 people appeared in sight, galloping towards the north gate of Chang'an City.
"Enemy ~ Attack .........!"
One of the defenders shouted in horror.
But before he could finish his words, the tip of the knife had already penetrated his chest.
The soldier looked at the blade on his chest in disbelief and struggled to turn his head, only to find that his assassin was none other than his comrade.
His body slowly fell, and when his consciousness dissipated, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Everyone obey my command, open the gates, and welcome the army into the city!" Li Meng and Wang Fang shouted excitedly. "Lu Bu is unkind, betraying the master and killing the Taishi, and we have already taken refuge in General Li Dao. If you are smart, follow Lao Tzu. Who dares to resist, Lao Tzu will not be spared! ”
More than 100 soldiers of Li Meng and Wang Fang suppressed the rest of the soldiers while lowering the drawbridge and pushing open the heavy city gate.
Soon, the north gate of Chang'an was opened.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer to the city gate, he could even see the banner in front of the front of the army.
Railing!
Sheet!
Soon, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led the army across the suspension bridge and rushed into the city.
At this time, Chang'an City was like an undefended city exposed to the Xiliang Army, and Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were very excited.
Chang'an City is ours!
