Chapter 176 The invincible vanguard of the divine soldiers
If the general surprise attack detachment leaves the camp, if the number of people is not large, with the help of the cover of night, they will be lined up in batches, plus several teams will be sent in advance to continuously check the surroundings, and it is not difficult to avoid the eyes of the other party's scouts.
If there are mountains and dense forests on the terrain as cover, tens of thousands of people can also travel quietly.
However, the 50,000 people led by Lu Bu obviously have no terrain advantage, and the terrain in this area is the place where Tian Feng selected the camping place after research, and the terrain is open, the purpose is to let the strength advantage of the Northern Army be brought into play.
Naturally, it is impossible to hide tens of thousands of soldiers without revealing traces.
Lu Bu had only reached the halfway point with the army, and the news had already reached Yuan Tan's ears.
Tian Feng was a little surprised that Lu Bu was not fooled and went to the grain and grass camp, after laying out the game for so long and throwing out such a tempting bait, the other party could still bear it, this Lin Mo is really not simple.
However, Yuan Tan was a little calm, and looked at Tian Feng, "Sir, did you send a fast horse to send Wen Chou back to help?" ”
He didn't panic, it was certainly the best result to attract Lu Bu to the grain and grass camp, even if he couldn't, he might not be able to please this Chinese army village, and the 80,000 troops in the stockade plus the first camp and the euphorbia were not something he would be able to break through for a while.
I'm afraid that he will neither go to the grain and grass camp, nor come to the Chinese army's Dazhai, but the two armies will continue to fight against each other, which is too torturous for Yuan Tan, who is eager for a big position.
"It is not gullible, or it is a feint to deceive Wen Chou, and the ultimate goal is not necessarily a grain and grass camp."
As a conservative, Tian Feng's design this time seems to be risky, but in fact, from the overall situation, it is still a stable batch, he stroked his short beard and said in a deep voice: "If Lu Bu really attacks, it will be too late to send a fast horse to recall Wen Chou." ”
Yuan Tan thought about it, it was only more than thirty miles, even if the infantry couldn't come back, the eight thousand cavalry under Wen Chou could always come back as soon as possible, "Okay, let's see what Lu Bu wants." ”
The defense in the Chinese army's big village is also watertight, 800 first camped to surround the entire Chinese army's big tent, and 500 halberds are in charge of the halberd.
They are under Yuan Tan's command. Even among the 700,000 Northern Army, the most elite troops, but tonight, they only need to protect the Chinese army.
Tian Feng has carefully and meticulously studied some of the past achievements of the Lu army, and found that compared with ordinary armies, they especially like to rely on their personal bravery to go straight to the Chinese army to capture the flag.
Therefore, it is the key to protect this Chinese army tonight.
The 80,000-strong army on the periphery made a triple defense, and the outermost was swordsmen, spearmen, and armor-piercing hammermen; the second is the crossbowman; The third is a mixed force dominated by shield soldiers, which can be called an iron bucket of defense.
It can be said that as long as the morale does not collapse on a large scale, as an ambush party that waits for work, even in the face of the elite, it has an advantage.
I don't dare to say that this weak brigade completely crushed Lu Bu, but it was a laborious thing to drag Wen Chou and them back after all.
Once Wen Chou's army returns, Lu Bu will definitely be defeated.
What's more, Han Ju also led 30,000 people over Qi Mountain to prepare for a sneak attack on their camp.
Yuan Tan felt that no matter how he calculated, he would not be able to lose, it was nothing more than the proportion of casualties between the two sides.
On the Qingzhou front at night, Lu Bu led 50,000 people to the five miles away from the camp of the Northern Army, he waved his hand, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yue and Gan Ning beside him came over.
"Divide the troops!"
"Whoa!"
After the order was given, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Wei Yue each led 13,000 people to break away from the army, like three dragons wandering on the earth.
Now in Lu Ying, there are not many people who can really lead an army of 10,000 people, except for Zhang Liao in Guangling, that is, Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu.
If you really want to talk about it, Zhao Yun and Wei Yue are currently the materials of the deputy generals, and it is okay for them to lead a small force to charge into battle, and it is more often not about personal courage to lead an army of 10,000 people, but once unexpected events occur in the battle situation, can you deal with them calmly and correctly.
If you lose an order, the army will be broken and killed.
This cannot be done without years of precipitation.
As for Gan Ning, in terms of the experience of this war, he was still far below Zhao Yun and Wei Yue, so he followed the weakest Wei Yue's team.
It would be nice if Wei Xu was still alive. Lu Bu sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he was the most trusted person, and he had experience in leading troops, so there would be no problem if he handed it over.
But looking back, what Lin Mo said seems to be the last word, Zhao Zilong, Gan Xingba and Wei Chunan, each of whom has the ability to lead ten thousand armies, but they lack experience, and what is in front of them is the best opportunity for actual combat.
However, there are still fewer generals in the army, and now the territory is slowly getting bigger, and it is really necessary to recruit more good players.
Lu Bu put away his somewhat messy thoughts, looked at the Northern Army camp in front of him that was the size of a county town, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
After a short time, the army marched to a mile from the gate of the Northern Army, Lu Bu raised his right hand, and the sergeant behind him scattered left and right, leaving a passage in the middle.
In the center of the procession were more than 2,000 ploughing oxen, all of which had blades tied to their horns and reeds soaked in tung oil tied to their tails.
It is worth mentioning that these ploughing cattle had been transported to Linqu County by Chen Gong as early as before the war, and it was the suggestion made by the old Yin goods Jia Xu at that time.
The game of the fire bull array, the first was invented by Qi Guotian Dan during the Warring States Period, in the posture of the enemy being strong and weak, but also showed the appearance of cowardice again and again, and finally released a group of fire oxen, the Yan army of the rush fell scattered, and took advantage of the victory to pursue more than 70 cities.
In Jia Xu's view, whether it is troops, ordnance, grain and grass, and logistics, Lu Bu is in an absolute weakness like the Qi State at that time, and with the cooperation of the terrain, the Fire Bull Array is very suitable.
"Ignition!" At the sound of an order, the soldiers surrounded them in order, took out the fire starters prepared in their hands, and at the same time surrounded the sides with shields, so that the ploughing cattle could charge in one direction for a while.
With the tails of the ox being ignited, after a scream of 'moo', the leading ploughing ox began to charge forward, the second and third
In the end, more than 2,000 ploughing cattle all ran wildly, accompanied by the screams of ploughing cattle.
The Northern Army in the stockade had already received the news that the Lu army was coming to attack and was ready to attack, but these weak brigades did not have decent combat experience, and they were dominated by the fear of Lu Buwei's name, and their hearts were always uneasy.
Listening to this sound now, I can't help but poke my head out of the tent with curiosity to see what is going on.
It's good not to look at it, but this look is directly confused, the ploughing ox rushed towards the stockade as if it was crazy because of the burning of the buttocks, and the fences, tents and even the stacked grain carts blocking them along the way were ignored and hit directly.
Along the way, the place after being hit by the mad bull was a mess, and the centurion ran forward with his soldiers to block it with their knives, but they were all knocked away by the ploughing ox, and some of the ploughing oxen's horns were even against the northern army that was penetrated by the blade, and they were still charging.
And their ring-headed knives slashed at the oxen, but they could not penetrate the thick layer of cowhide, even if some pikemen used the advantage of their weapons to pierce the belly of the ploughing oxen, not only did not stop the ploughing oxen, but made them charge more violently.
More than 2,000 ploughing cattle were wreaking havoc in the huge Yuan camp, and the frightened northern army was scurrying around, knowing that there would be enemy troops, but no one told them that they would be a group of crazy ploughing cattle.
Until these ploughing cattle rushed into the camp and galloped four or five miles, and entered the ambush circle of the second heavy crossbowman, many ploughing cattle were indeed killed under the fire of ten thousand arrows, but with the hard cow skin, there were still more than 800 ploughing cattle breaking through this heavy defense.
In the third ambush circle, those shield soldiers desperately put the big shield in their hands against the ground, forming a steel fence, plus there are more than a dozen people behind each shield to withstand this impact, in a vain attempt to forcibly block the ploughing cattle, but the result is self-defeating, after the ox collision was blocked, it suddenly changed direction, like a surging forward wave crashed on the mountain stones, and instantly dispersed to both sides, this is good, the surrounding tents, sergeants have suffered, even if there are only a few hundred ploughing cattle left, it is enough to turn the world upside down.
And what is even more terrifying is that as the ploughing ox rushed into the gate, Lu Bu rushed in with the sergeants, and the army of 10,000 people he led was all foot soldiers, with crossbowmen, sword soldiers, spearmen and shield soldiers, but no cavalry.
Originally, there were only about 4,000 cavalry, so Wei Xu and them folded more than a thousand in a while, and the remaining little bit should be handed over to the other three people, so as to relieve the pressure on them.
The speed of the infantry was a little slower, but even in the face of thousands of troops, he Lu Fengxian had a halberd in his hand, how could he have been afraid, riding a crimson red rabbit horse, like a flame jumped directly into the chaotic camp of the Northern Army, and the halberd in his hand waved continuously, and the surrounding halberd was heavy and cold.
Many people didn't even see Lu Bu's appearance clearly, they only felt that their necks were cold, and blood gushed from the cracks.
He walked around the chaotic army at will, and everywhere he passed, there were corpses splashed with blood and screams again and again.
Five centurions on war horses rushed towards Lu Bu, wanting to stop his killing, even if they dragged him down, they could at least temporarily stabilize the morale of the army.
The first person started from behind and stabbed Lu Bu's back Lu Bu seemed to have eyes behind him, not dodging or dodging, Fang Tian drew a halberd at a tricky angle and sacrificed the horse pistol, piercing the centurion's armor first.
He immediately picked him up and slammed it down on the other centurion.
Bang~
The collision of the body alone dented the centurion's chest, and a mouthful of blood spit out, and the two fell to the ground together, and there was no movement, and the strength was so great that it can be imagined.
The remaining three people walked side by side, and in the face of the attack of knives and guns, after Lu Bu swung away the two weapons with ease, Fang Tian's halberd fluttered towards the person in the center.
The centurion raised his spear to block, and the body of the gun forged by solid iron was actually broken by the sound, and the unabated blow smashed on the centurion's armor and immediately cracked into a spider web.
The final net was to sweep through the thousands of troops in one plan, only to see the cold light flickering, and the two centurions could not block this strange force together, and were swept off the horses.
It all sounds like it took a long time, from the first centurion landing to the last two falling horses, it was just a few breaths.
knows that Lu Fengxian is invincible in the world, but only after really seeing him kill will he understand, it only takes one time to leave a shadow.
Among this group of people, some people have seen Yan Liang and Wen Chou do it, and they only feel that their martial arts have long been invincible on the battlefield, and it is difficult to match anyone in the world.
After seeing Lu Bu do it, they had only one thought, escape!
Lu Bu killed twice, his body was already splashed with blood, Fang Tian's halberd was dyed red, and the sergeant behind him finally followed.
Originally, these northern armies were in chaos after being hit by the ploughing cattle for a while, and they were slaughtered by Lu Bu again, and the army's heart suddenly swayed, and when this mixed army of 10,000 people rushed in, it was almost devastating, and no one could stop it.
Finally, someone shouted out a desperate word, "Run!" ”
When the two armies fight, it is a momentum, and once someone drops their weapons and flees, this fear will spread like a plague.
"Oops, it must be that Lin Mo guessed our intentions and knew that the elite was exhausted, so he was ready to take the big camp and brought the fire bull array!"
In the Chinese military tent, Tian Feng paced back and forth, and horror appeared between his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, such a design was still guessed by them, but in fact, his plan was already extremely stable, because no matter where Lu Bu started, it would be difficult to get out of it.
But who would have thought that they would use the Fire Bull Array before rushing into the formation, if the elite of Wen Chou was here, or if they put the first camp and the halberd warriors at the forefront, they would all be disintegrated, however, the other party had completely guessed his intentions, and for a while, Tian Feng only felt that his heart was like falling into the abyss
"I have already sent a fast horse to report to General Wen Chou, it's too late, it's okay, it's going to be too late" Yuan Tan swallowed his saliva, and tried his best to make a calm gesture on his face, but he panicked in his heart.
In the end, he is also a person who has fought in the war, and he knows that anyone can go to this matter, and he must not go, as long as he stabilizes the big tent of the Chinese army, the soldiers will still have a trace of confidence.
So, he pulled out the sword at his waist, ran out of the military tent, and shouted: "Brothers, General Wen Chou has arrived, be sure to block them to buy time for General Wen Chou!" ”
In fact, Lu Jun is far from killing, but the sound of fighting and wailing screams in the distance are slowly approaching, and this kind of psychological pressure will make many people have a cowardly mentality.
Yuan Tan shouted like this, he was doing his best to stabilize the morale of the army, he wanted to tell the soldiers, I, Yuan Tan, am still here, and Wen Chou will be here soon, don't panic!
The foot soldiers led by Lu Bu were like bamboos all the way, and the second heavy crossbowmen simply became ornaments, in their expectations, the other party should be riding fast horses to plunder the village, and wanted to break through the tent of the Chinese army, their task was to wait for the army to pass half of it, and then ten thousand arrows were fired.
But the fact is that the Lu army is stubbornly sticking to the first line of defense of the northern army all the way forward, if you release arrows, you will inevitably shoot your own people.
After hesitating for a moment, the other party had already pressed over, and the captain in charge of the overseer didn't care too much, and suddenly shouted: "Hurry up and release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Several rounds of arrows rained down, and the harvest was not small, shooting over hundreds of Lu troops, but the fleeing Northern Army actually rushed the formation of its own crossbowmen.
Many crossbowmen were knocked over by their own people after the first round and were about to take the bow, and for a while, a situation was formed on the battlefield to roll bead blinds.
This bought time for Lu Bu to lead people to rush into battle, and he rode his horse and jumped a few zhang away, rushing into the back of the crowd, and the heavenly painting halberd swept wide open and closed, and the remnants of the Northern Army flew with severed limbs.
Just a tear was enough for the sergeant behind him to rush up and break the formation.
This killing was hot, but Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun and Wei Yue did not rush in, according to the agreement, their rush was to wait for Lu Bu to enter the village and take a stick of incense before launching.
It is estimated that the time is almost up, and in such a large military village, they can hear the sound of fighting inside outside, and they know that the time has come.
"Rush into the Chinese military tent, kill the generals and capture the flag, and kill the enemy for meritorious service!" With Zhang Xiu's order, more than 10,000 people began to rush in from Nanzhai.
At the same time, Zhao Yun and Wei Yue also came in.
The final decisive battle unfolded in the Chinese army of the Northern Army!
Whether it is Kong Ming Lantern or the Fire Ox Array, I have already laid the foreshadowing in front, and it is definitely not a cow that will conjure up more than 2,000 ploughing cows, I want to explain this point, lest some readers think that this is forcibly rounding up this situation.
