After losing two games first, the main general lost to the other side in front of the three armies, and then shouted and scolded for five consecutive days, saying that the army's heart was shaky, exaggerating a little, but the morale was low but it was not false at all, and many sergeants were in a cowardly mood.

In this state, even if it is really an ambush, their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, pre-war mobilization is indispensable.

In this era, there are still many ways to unite the morale of the military in a short period of time.

For example, when grain is released in a warehouse, one meal a day during non-war periods suddenly becomes two meals a day or even three meals a day, and the effect of this method is relatively average.

For example, to stimulate the soldiers' desire to survive, tell them that the enemy has surrounded us, and the other party claims to kill them all, leaving no room for survival, and if they want to live, they can only fight to the death.

Another example is to draw a pie and tell the brothers that our reinforcements have arrived and are ready to attack together, or there is my secret son on the other side who already knows their plan of action in advance.

And Guan Yu chose a two-pronged approach, he asked Wei Yan to call all the generals above the centurion to the school and start to lecture.

"Brothers, I know that these days, the morale of the battalion is low, and everyone thinks that our army will be defeated, and today I want to tell you that the time has come to make meritorious achievements!"

When everyone looked at each other and was puzzled, Guan Yu raised the silk cloth in his hand high, revealing a habitual contemptuous smile, "I received a military report, two days after tomorrow, the Lu army will attack our army's Dazhai at night, you can follow me to ambush in the village, just wait for the Lu army to enter the village, you can avenge the robes that died in battle, and make contributions to yourself!" ”

Everyone was stunned, did they have an internal response?

If it's true or false, then this battle can be fought, deploy in advance, wait for work, and it is not difficult to win.

The question is, there is an internal response to this, how could he be ambushed for the first time?

Looking at the excitement on Guan Yu's cold and arrogant face, no one dared to ask.

Seeing that no one agreed, Wei Yan played his duty of praise, raised his right arm and shouted: "Meritorious!" Avenge! Merit! Avenge! ”

People are blindly obedient to their hearts, especially Wei Yan, a general who has a compatriot relationship with them, raises his arms, and his prestige is not comparable to Huang Zhong, and in the end, he is also an existence that responds to all calls.

So, some people began to shout, and finally more than 100 people began to shout in unison.

Wei Yan is still easy to use, Guan Yu rarely thinks that he is a character except for Zhang Fei.

When he was about to shout, he pressed his hand and shouted in the middle of the day: "Let the grain officer take out the wine and meat in the camp, give the brothers a full meal, and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Victory! Win! Win! ”

"Master Hou is still too cautious, in my opinion, this red-faced thief is about to be defeated, and after cleaning up, he will go to Lujiang to behead Jiangdong Xiao'er.

Guangling City is far from majestic, and our brothers should shake it too! ”

After receiving Lin Mo's reply, he did not give a magical strategy to destroy the enemy as they thought, but let them retreat to Guangling first.

At first, they thought it was the wrong letter, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was understandable.

More than a thousand miles apart, the battle situation is changing, and Lin Mo can't command remotely even if he has three heads and six arms.

What's more, he is still in this situation of being attacked by the enemy.

"Don't talk nonsense, Master Hou just suggested that we evacuate, but he didn't say that we must withdraw immediately, and the letter also said that it can be moved by Mr. Zijing's camera, and this matter is still up to Mr. Zijing." Wen Chou is becoming more and more like a general.

In addition to being calm at all times, the most important thing is to be smart.

He seems to always remember his identity as a general, and in a circle like Lu Ying, where everyone is harmonious on the surface, but there is an undercurrent underneath, try not to offend.

Especially the Xuzhou Shi clan as the starting team.

Lu Su chuckled and asked: "The general's words are serious, the general of the Anfeng battle situation is the main general, and in the end it is the supervising army, I don't know what the general means?" ”

Wen Chou was stunned, probably didn't expect Lu Su's personality to be so easy-going.

If this was the northern kingdom in the early years, the strategists who stood in Lu Su's position would have already begun to make a lot of nonsense.

He glanced at Yan Liang, then looked at the map, and said in a tentative tone: "I feel that at the moment, Liu Junbing has no fighting spirit, and even the casualties of the strong attack will not be too large."

As long as Guan Yu is driven away, after resting, he may not be able to retreat from Jiangdong Sun Ce.

Hou Ye has a large amount, not counting our sins of losing the city, but since we have withdrawn Anfeng, we have the responsibility to defend the land and retreat from the enemy. ”

"Brother is right! I want Cao Cao to abandon it in Jinyang City at the beginning, in the absence of reinforcements, not much food and grass, and a desperate situation in the depths, Berning is still fighting to the death, not to mention that our soldiers are good enough to eat, why do we have to retreat? ”

Yan Liang said with a smile: "If you all retire and go back to see Berning, won't he laugh at me and wait?" ”

The words are not rough.

Lu Su smiled and said nothing.

He understood Lin Mo's intentions, this letter just told him that if the situation was unfavorable, he could withdraw boldly with confidence, and he would definitely not pursue the crime of defeating the army.

But at the same time, he did not ask for immediate withdrawal, but let himself move the camera, because he knew too well that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and those who were masters of the situation should not make rash countermeasures in the absence of reciprocal information, and if they were not careful, they would cause disaster to the three armed forces.

In the end, it is Yunwen.

If the current situation is the same as it was at the beginning, with Lu Su's calm character, he will choose to withdraw without hesitation.

Anyway, with Lu Lin's current strength, losing a few counties will not cause too much impact, and he will be able to counterattack at any time if he has to reorganize his army.

However, the situation is very different now than it was when I first wrote the letter.

The overall disadvantage of Anfeng's battle situation has been reversed, and there is even a dawn of turning defeat into victory.

The core of the literati's contempt is actually because books have not been popularized, and the literati who swim in the sea of books are also accompanied by arrogance, and they all feel that they are superior.

And an honest person like Lu Zijing did not lose himself and elevate his identity in the Four Books and Five Classics and the Book of War Strategy, which is also the reason why Lin Mo put his heart into him.

But this doesn't mean that he is a submissive person, unprincipled, he can not fight, or he can not be as dazzling as Lao Yin and Guo Fengxiao, and he will not even let the three armies go in danger for the glory of the family, but he is always willing to prove to his Bole that he will not disappoint.

What's more, at first, he was worried that the person who came was Zhuge Liang, and his own side, which was at a disadvantage in the overall situation, if he couldn't reverse it from the strategy, it would indeed not end up in the end, but the two battles were enough to prove that Guan Yu had no decent strategists beside him at all.

Now that Guan Yu has been defeated, clean him up, and then go to retreat from Jiangdong's army, this road is indeed theoretically possible.

"In the next, agree with the general's choice."

The three most important people in the council hall all had the same thoughts, but Wen Chou did not speak directly, but looked at Hao Zhao, who had not spoken for a long time and looked contemplative: "Do you have any ideas?" ”

As Hao Zhao, who had just entered the camp and only participated in the battle of pacifying Wuhuan, he was not qualified to make suggestions, and when he met Wen Qiu's question, he was a little surprised in his heart, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The last general has no objection, it's just."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Didn't Sun Ce have an army of 30,000, he broke through Anhui County in three days, it stands to reason that he should have taken the entire territory of Lujiang and attacked Jiujiang to block our retreat, why did he delay it for so long?"

It's a bit of a jump.

However, Wen Chou also wanted to understand this question, so he couldn't help but look at Lu Su.

Probably, only Yan Liang is more casual, anyway, where to fight is not to fight.

"If my guess is correct, the agreement between Sun Ce and Liu Bei should be for Liu Beijun to contain Anfeng City, so that Sun Ce can conquer Lujiang and Jiujiang with lightning speed, so as to block the retreat of our army, and then we will become trapped beasts."

In this section, everyone seems to be able to think of it, and Lu Su continued: "There are pros and cons to such an arrangement, the advantage is to take the Lujiang River and Jiujiang River, and in the end, when the soldiers come to Anfeng City, our army will become a lone army, and the lone soldier will have no fighting spirit and can be taken down with a snap of his fingers." ”

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao's heart chuckled, and he remembered Jinyang City, which was full of favors and slashing the hearts of the white horse condensing the army, wasn't it such a lonely army.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious, once there is no way out, it is possible for the soldiers to rely on the will to survive and take one as a hundred, but at this time, Sun Ce can't surround three and lack one, even if the final result is a victory, I am afraid it will be a disastrous victory.

This is what Sun Ce does not want to see, because even if he takes the three counties of Huainan, he has to defend it, if it is the end of the strong crossbow, Wen Hou and Yunwen mobilize the Pengcheng army to attack, how can he resist. ”

As soon as he said this, a clear expression appeared on everyone's faces, and they couldn't help but nod their heads.

I see.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Lu Su sees a chance to turn defeat into victory, if it is said that the alliance between the two parties is really cooperating sincerely, such a situation is actually bound to lose.

At least, that's what Lu Su thinks.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Fang continued: "Now, he must have received the military report of Guan Yu's two defeats, the development of things exceeded his expectations, he didn't expect our army to fight with Guan Yu like this, so he simply dragged the war period on, so as to use Guan Yu and us to spend some time, and finally he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

At this point, even Yan Liang understood what Sun Ce's calculation was, and couldn't help laughing.

With this ally, Liu Bei has also been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

And Wen Chou and Hao Zhao both showed contemplative expressions, and they had a significant change in their views on Sun Ce, this kind of overall view is not simple.

"Then, sir, the general sees that the time is almost up, is it time to do it?" Yan Liang put aside the topic and went back to the main line.

"Are the ploughing cattle ready?" Lu Su looked at Hao Zhao.

"Don't worry, the prison army has been prepared a long time ago, and two thousand ploughing cattle are in Beiying, ready to move at any time." Hao Zhao gave up.

Hearing this, Lu Su looked at Wen Chou, and after the latter bowed his head to signal, he said sonorously: "Listen to the order!" ”

"Let the soldiers rest during the day tomorrow, and after nightfall, the Fire Ox Formation will open the way, and General Yan Liang will lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Yuda camp!"

"Order!"

After Yan Liang surrendered his hand, Lu Su continued: "Please General Wenchou lead 5,000 troops to defend the fortress, if there is a change, whether to fight or retreat, it will be decided by the general." ”

"Order." Wen Chou frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible, but he didn't say anything after all.

The days when I came to Lu Ying were not short, I had fought with Lin Mo, and I had also seen Jia Xu's methods, these two people had their own strengths, but they were more strange than the other.

But Lu Su gave him the impression that it was a stable character.

Judging from the morale of Guan Yujun's army at the moment, those who are a little more radical will choose to attack with their lives, but he even deployed himself to be responsible for responding, is this too careful.

The fire ox array opens the road, this kind of play is very hurtful, and after the spring next year, you have to ask Xuzhou to plough the cattle for supplies, otherwise even if there is a curved plow, it will cause a situation that cannot be cultivated.

In order to save troops, it is understandable to give the enemy a fatal blow in the shortest possible time.

But in this case, it still needs to be answered, which is really a bit too cautious.

Thanks to Yan Liang's attack, he answered, and if he exchanged tasks, Yan Liang estimated that he would be able to stomp his feet and quarrel with Lu Su in a hurry.

"General Hao led 10,000 soldiers, ambushed in Menggu Mountain, and after dawn, if there was no enemy, he could withdraw to Anfeng City."

"Order!"

Guan Yu's Dazhai is in the north, and Meng Gushan is in the east, which can be said to be the opposite of each other, but Hao Zhao is very happy to receive the order.

"Eh, the prison army, after Guan Yu was defeated, he even fled and went west, why did you let Bodao go to Menggu Mountain?"

Hao Zhao is a capable general, and Yan Liang still wants to take him to kill Dazhai together.

Without waiting for Lu Su to explain, Hao Zhao himself said: "The last general guessed that the supervising army was worried that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses would suddenly attack me when the two armies were in a bloody battle. Menggu Mountain is not the only way to enter Anfeng, but it is the fastest way. ”

"The scouts didn't reciprocate either." Yan Liang waved his hands.

"Generals, good fighters, can hide thousands of troops and horses invisible, although there are not many mountains in the Huainan area, it is not impossible to hide an army of 10,000 people."

Lu Su explained unhurriedly: "Besides, if you call for five days in a row, but you won't call for battle tomorrow, Guan Yu can think that our army is going to launch a general attack, be careful, it's always right." ”

"The Great Supervisor of the Army." After hearing this, Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou with sympathy in his eyes, Brother, I thought there was another special arrangement over there, but it seems that it is not, you are just my reserve force.

Following.

For the first time, Lu Jun didn't swagger outside the village to scold the formation, which made Liu Jun very happy, you are finally tired.

And in Guan Yu's view, this is a kind of excitement.

This proves that tonight is the day when Lu Jun will do it.

It is impossible for them to call outside in broad daylight and come back to attack the village after a whole day, and before launching a general attack, they must ensure the sharpness of the soldiers.

Now, everything is in place, just waiting for this moment.

It's time for the day of shame.

It was a quiet day, with the smell of tranquility on the eve of a storm.

The sun is thin, and night is beginning to fall.

Yan Liangwen's 13,000 army went out of the city.

In the middle of the procession were two thousand ploughing oxen.

These oxen had sharp knives tied to their horns, and dry thatch tied to their tails.

Because it was dark night, although the moon was in the sky, Liu Jun's scouts only dared to watch from afar, who had the courage to stick in.

In fact, when he saw this mighty Lu army, the scout was frightened and fled.

The army came to the outside of Guan Yu's camp again.

This time, they didn't beat the drum challenge, they didn't scold and swear, there was no need.

With the dry thatch soaked in tung oil ignited instantly, the frightened ploughing oxen let out a scream of 'whoop' and began to rush towards Liu Jun's camp suddenly.

Looking down from above, two thousand ploughing cattle with flaming tails slowly became faster, and rushed into the Liu military camp, and the Liu family in the village were all frightened and fled one after another.

Wherever the ploughing cattle passed, Liu Jun was stabbed to death by sharp knives hanging from the horns of the oxen, bonfires flew along the way, and tents were ignited.

Yan Liang outside the stockade hugged his chest with his hands, only feeling pleasing to the eye, recalling that when Guan Yu fought before the battle, he wanted to burn the two-foot long beard when he cherished his beard at the beginning.

"Brother, it's almost, isn't it?" All the ploughing cattle rushed into the stockade, and Yan Liang couldn't bear it anymore.

Wen Chou looked at the camp slightly, the fire ox disappeared into the depths of the village, the tents were lit along the way, there was chaos, he nodded, drew the soul breaking gun and pointed forward, and shouted: "Brothers, rush in and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Kill!"

Yan Liang pinched the horse's belly fiercely, took the lead, and held back for five days, and he couldn't hold this fire for a long time.

The 8,000 army, like a surging flood, rushed into Liu's army camp, ready to kill the Quartet.

Wrong!

Yan Liang frowned, Liu Jun's number was too small.

After rushing for a long distance, I only saw dozens of Liu Jun's corpses on the ground that had been trampled to death by ploughing oxen, and no one even took care of the tent that caught fire, which was too unreasonable.

Looking ahead, there was a clear dividing line, on one side was the mess of trampling by the rushing fire bulls, but on the other side was peaceful.

If you listen closely, you can hear the screams of the ploughing cattle coming from the boundary.

Yan Liang hurriedly drank the army: "Stop advancing, hurry, stop!" ”

There was a neighing sound of war horses, smoke and dust everywhere, and it was finally possible to slow down the speed.

Everyone was puzzled, once this cavalry lost its speed, its combat power would be greatly reduced, and there was no ambush, why did it stop?

The sergeants in the back stepped forward to look at it, and their eyes widened.

In front of them was a deep ditch, one zhang wide and two zhang deep.

Originally, such a ravine could not stop 2,000 ploughing cattle, but because the ploughing cattle no longer ran in a straight line after entering the village, but scattered in all directions, which also led to the endless ravines on both sides being filled with ploughing cattle.

Moreover, there is more than one such ravine, and there are obviously several more in front, which actually trap the scattered ploughing cattle in it.

This.

How is this possible.

Lu Su said that the best way to deal with the Fire Bull Formation was to use this kind of ravine, but the question was, how did they know that they would use the Fire Bull Formation tonight?

Dig well in advance?

That's obviously impossible, such a ravine runs through the entire military village, more than one zhang wide, and there are several when dug up, which will affect the actions of the sergeants on weekdays.

In case the opposite side is not a fire bull formation, but chooses to attack directly, the sergeants in the rear will definitely be held back by these deep ditches when they rush to reinforce them.

Yan Liang's first reaction was even that there was a mole in Anfeng City, otherwise the other party would not have been able to prepare in advance.

The problem is that in addition to himself, Lu Su, Wen Chou and Hao Zhao know that in order to keep it secret, even the ploughing cattle are separated.

In addition, during the battle, the sergeants couldn't get out of the city at all, and those scouts who ran away were all confidants, and it was impossible for them to surrender to the enemy.

Soon, it became clear to him that it was not necessarily the enemy who knew about their plan.

After all, there were thousands of cavalry in Anfeng City, and after many days of challenges, Liu Jun was worried that the cavalry would rob the camp and dig such a ravine to deal with the cavalry, but it was reasonable.

"Quick! Hurry up, hurry up, the enemy is coming! Wei Yan appeared, and he was hurrying over with a group of people.

There were quite a few of them, but they were disheveled in armor and scattered, and it was obvious that they had been formed in a hurry.

Liu Jun's performance confirmed Yan Liang's inner guess, there are still ravines in front, which can't stop the cavalry at all, and the foot soldiers, the problem is not big, it can be seen with the naked eye, the three ravines in front have been filled with ploughing cattle.

What's more, even if Liu Jun has an ambush, what will happen?

Can't beat it, with their little strength, and there is no cavalry, why be afraid!

"Brothers, give it to me!" Yan Liang is really brave, and after a short hesitation, he strengthened his belief in attacking.

It's a big deal, just fight them closely.

The charge rose again, trampling on the body of the ploughing ox, crossing the ravine, and continuing forward.

There were four ravines in front of them, and the last one had not been filled, but the depth had been filled to about two feet by the ploughing oxen, and even foot soldiers could climb over it.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat, those who advance live, those who retreat die!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Lu army was coming, Liu Jun actually began to retreat, and it was useless to let Wei Yan shout.

This scene made the last trace of doubt in Yan Liang's heart also dispelled, and he was relieved to chase forward boldly.

In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the Chinese military tent.

Liu Jun, who escaped, suddenly spread out from both sides, revealing a row of huge crossbow machines, supported by a triangular bracket below, and the crossbow placed above was obviously one size larger than an ordinary crossbow, which was the Yuanrong crossbow invented by Huang Yueying.

"Put!"

Without waiting for Yan Liang to react, Wei Yan burst into a shout, and the sixteen side-by-side crossbow machines were pulled by the soldiers.

Whoosh~

The ten arrow holes on the Yuan Rong crossbow fired arrows at the same time, and the powerful penetrating force could even submerge the entire arrow into the body of the war horse.

Sigh law ~

There was a mournful roar of war horses, and the cavalrymen in the front row turned on their backs.

Camp first!

Yan Liang's eyes widened, and his heart was shocked.

No one is more familiar with this kind of gameplay than him.

At the beginning, Bai Ma Yi, who dominated the northern country, was invincible, which made Yuan Shao extremely headache, and finally lured them to approach by hiding the first camp in the army, and finally ten thousand arrows were fired together, which opened a chapter of Gongsun Zhan's defeat.

The crossbow machine in front of me is different from the crossbow machine that first entered the camp, and it is obviously larger.

Moreover, even the crossbow machine that first entered the camp was only a single shot, and this crossbow machine turned out to be ten rounds.

Fortunately, there are only a dozen of them, and if the eight hundred crossbow machines are arranged neatly like the first camp, such a distance, the other party can eat half of the army in one go.

"Don't mess around! Rush over and get close to them! ”

Behind the sixteen strange crossbow machines were rows of crossbowmen, who were also firing arrows, intending to shoot the Lu army in front.

Of course, Yan Liang knew that this was buying time for the sixteen crossbow machines to reload the arrows.

The appearance of the Yuan Rong crossbow certainly shocked Yan Liang's heart, but in the end, the number was too small, and it was impossible to lose his confidence in an instant.

Yan Liang, who has always liked to gnaw hard bones, didn't care about the fact that it was indeed Zhongfu, but he only knew that once he was close, those crossbowmen and strange crossbow machines would lose their effect.

He brandished the golden-backed sword to shoot down the arrows, and at the same time shouted and led the soldiers forward.

At this time, the prestige of the generals can play a vital role.

His prestige in Anfeng was not earned by joining forces with Wen Chou to defeat Guan Yu, but was accumulated when he fought Cao with Zhang Liao for the second time.

As soon as he drank this, the soldiers immediately adjusted their pace and followed closely behind.

Very good!

Reload much slower than the first camp!

After all, it is ten arrows, and the disadvantages are naturally obvious.

In fact, the accuracy of the Yuanrong crossbow is also very problematic, and the heavy crossbows that were abandoned in the first camp were precisely the problem of accuracy.

However, it can't stand the large number of people on the opposite side, and it belongs to blind shooting, which can not be missed, and the typical firepower coverage style of play.

Moreover, when sixteen crossbow machines are fired at the same time, the power is indeed amazing.

In the first round of arrows alone, one hundred and sixty arrows shot over more than eighty horsemen.

Coupled with the crossbowmen behind him, the first one to take a look at the face, Lu Jun folded more than 300 horses.

Fifty steps away, less than twenty steps, the second round of arrow rain of the Yuan Rong crossbow came again, Yan Liang desperately blocked the oncoming arrows, and the shock from the blade could clearly feel how strong the arrows were penetrating.

Beside him, there was another wave of people turning on their backs.

Moreover, the cooperation between Liu Jun's Yuan Rong crossbow and crossbowmen is indeed tacit, and it is an exaggeration to say that there is no gap, but the distance of fifty steps has caused the cavalry of the Lu army to lose nearly a thousand people.

The crossbow arrows that swept past the cavalry were also shot at the foot soldiers, and the casualties were really not small.

Seeing that the distance was sufficient, Yan Liang was even ready to pull the reins to make the war horse jump, and rushed into the battle circle to kill the Quartet.

"Ignition!" Wei Yan's cold eyes were expressionless.

The sound fell, and the sergeant beside him threw the torch in his hand forward, and three steps away, the fire quickly spread into a fire dragon, blocking between Liu Jun and Lu Jun.

The high tongues of fire suddenly burst forth, and the animals' natural fear of fire caused the horses to raise their premises in order to stop.

At the same time, Liu Jun also threw the wine jars one by one forward.

After the sound of ping-pong bells breaking, torches were thrown over to ignite the tung oil on the ground.

The sudden change made Yan Liangdu almost fall off his horse, and finally stabilized his body, listening to the sound of the swishing wind, the soldiers and horses behind him were shot over one by one, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

This is completely different from what I imagined!

Originally, he thought that if he didn't come during the day and attacked at night, Liu Jun would definitely have a certain degree of ambush, but now in the form of the enemy and us, his strong attack should be crushing.

God knows where these guys got these strange crossbow machines, and this method of play is even stronger than the old northern country first camp.

"Withdraw!" Yan Liang was very unwilling.

He also wanted to get out of the range and attack from the flanks.

The problem is that the round of impact just now, the line of fire was broken, and more than half of his cavalry had been broken, even if it was the overall strength, it had been broken by a quarter.

He was sure that Liu Jun had made ample preparations, and the army's morale was turbulent, even if he wanted to attack, he could go back to join Wen Chou first.
