Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 48: The Night of the Barren Mountains

Time goes back to the day before Hulao Pass was broken.

It is already late at night, the cold air in early spring is not much warmer than the cold winter, and the branches that are still dry can not see whether there are buds growing under the night, but they look a bit hideous under the moonlight, and the river in the forest emits gurgling water It is difficult to feel the spring returning to the earth. Occasionally, there will be a few roars of beasts, which startle the sleeping birds.

Beside the official road, a hungry wolf appeared on the bank of the clear river in the darkness of night. His faint eyes scanned every place where prey might appear. After confirming that there was no threat around him, he crawled down carefully and stuck out his tongue. Licking the river water.

Suddenly, the wolf's ears moved. The hungry wolf turned its head and looked towards the distance of the river. There seemed to be a sound coming from the road opened by humans in the direction of the end of the road. The nose kept sniffing in the air. Immediately, it seemed As if frightened, he ran into the jungle beside the official road.

The sparse sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and the sound was not too hurried. After an unknown period of time, figures appeared from the end of the official road, and they quickly became clear. There were people and horses, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. Someone was injured, and the whole team looked weak, like a defeated army.

"General, there is a river ahead!" The Xiliang soldier in charge of scouting came back and saluted Lu Bu.

Lv Bu looked at the surrounding environment. Although it is impossible to enter the forest, the jungle may be their best protection at the moment. The soldiers first fought against the princes of the eight towns, and after breaking out, they fought against several other groups of soldiers and horses. Although there was no defeat during the day, by this time, the soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally. If they didn't find a place to rest, the army might collapse directly.

"Tell the soldiers to drink water in batches, and set up several sentries." Lu Bu got off his horse when he heard the sound of running water. The pursuers behind him didn't appear again after nightfall. Lu Bu was not sure whether these pursuers had given up, but After a day of fierce fighting, if the soldiers don't look for rest, they probably won't be able to survive the next battle.

"Here!" The soldiers went forward to deliver an order, and Gao Shun and Hua Xiong, who were divided into the central army and the rear army, arranged the batches for the soldiers to take turns to repair, and then found Lu Bu.

"General, what should we do next?" Hua Xiong was a little depressed. He had fought all the way here, and he couldn't even figure out where he was now. In addition, this road was just a fight, and he didn't get a drop of water, let alone the food. Hua Xiong was very confused.

In fact, Lv Bu didn't know what to do next. Regarding the surrounding environment, he was not much better than Hua Xiong. He ran all the way, either fighting or fleeing. Not to mention the lack of a map, even if there was one, it would be difficult to identify it.

But after all, he had a lifetime of experience more than others, and Lu Bu was very calm at the moment. He knew very well that if he couldn't stabilize himself, these soldiers would only become more chaotic.

"Gao Shun." Lu Bu leaned on Fang Tian's painting halberd, and the cold touch from the weapon kept him a little clear.

"The end is here!" Gao Shun cupped his fists and saluted.

"Before dawn, count our number clearly." Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and said.

You can ignore the others, but how many people you have, you can roughly estimate how much food and grass will be consumed. The first thing to solve is not to recognize the road and determine the direction, but the problem of food and grass. If there is no food and grass, how many people are willing to follow you? When I left the city, I didn't expect that a demonstration battle would turn into a surprise battle in the end. Naturally, it was impossible to bring out food and grass in advance.

As for where the food comes from and when it can come, it depends on how far the nearest city is from here and how many troops are stationed.

"Here!" Gao Shun nodded in agreement, he said very little, and immediately carried out the order after receiving it.

"Gongwei." Lu Bu looked at Hua Xiong, sighed and said, "Find out where the nearest city is immediately."

"But..." This meant that he wanted to find a city to attack, which was completely different from Hua Xiong's idea of ​​rushing back to Luoyang immediately.

"Do it." Lu Bu raised his eyelids. Under the sparse moonlight, those eyes were shining with a chill, which made people feel cold all over when looking at them.

"Here!" Although there were different opinions, but now Hua Xiong had confirmed Lu Bu's leading position in this army, and he stopped arguing after hearing the words, and bowed to leave after intervening.

Hu Zhen!

Lu Bu regretted that he had softened his heart towards Hu Zhen, and he should have found an excuse to remove his military power as soon as he entered Chenggao. If so, it would not be the current situation.

I don't know if the Hulao pass can be held. Compared with this, Lu Bu is worried that Hu Zhen will beat him up and wrong him, and make Dong Zhuo embarrass his wife and children?

Lu Bu wanted to go back more urgently than Hua Xiong, but in this state, how can he go back? If you go back alone, will anyone believe your words?

So even if it is difficult, even if he is more eager to return to his heart than anyone else, but on the surface, he is calmer than anyone else. The more urgent things are, the less he can be anxious. Even if he is very anxious, he must calm himself down.

Lu Bu suddenly discovered that the life simulator brought him far more than just the changes in his body. Thinking back carefully, if he hadn't obtained the self before the life simulator, he might have been in a mess by now and not be able to stabilize the situation like he is now ...It seems to be me many years ago, but in fact, that me is not too far away from now.

Someone lit a bonfire and asked Lu Bu to go over to keep warm.

Lu Bu thought for a while, but he didn't reject everyone's kindness. Under the flickering bonfire, there were young faces. Lu Bu asked people to kill several injured horses to eat. Although he was reluctant, even the nearest city It's not far away, and we can't let everyone fight hungry.

There was no earthenware pot, and someone used his helmet to cook the meat, but the aroma was overflowing.

Until late at night, except for the night watchmen, most of the soldiers huddled together to sleep, Gao Shun walked lightly to Lu Bu, and said in a low voice, "General, there are still 870 soldiers in the army now. Thirteen people, including 521 cavalry soldiers and 352 northern soldiers."

After entering and breaking the formation one after another, those who were injured along the way had no choice but to give up. After such a day of running around, some of them walked away by themselves. toughness.

After rescuing the Northern Army from the chaos, it seemed that more than half of the casualties had been lost. After running for a day, the Northern Army lost far fewer people than the Xiliang Army.

"Tomorrow, try to capture a city and stay temporarily, and then think about the way out." Lu Bu handed Gao Shun a piece of horse meat and said, "If you want to attack the city, you will still be needed."

"The last general takes orders!" Gao Shun didn't refuse when he heard the words, took a bite of the horse meat, sat next to Lu Bu, and slowly closed his eyes after eating the horse meat. Just save your energy.
