The Collection of The End

--A.D? ? ? Year--

Does Lu Bu have any "strategies" to defeat the enemy?

of course not.

He just found an excuse to call most of "his" generals to recognize them.

If it were Li Ru or Jia Xu, who is said to be very powerful, they would be able to analyze it or extract a lot of useful information from the people in these illusions. But the only thing Lu Bu can think of at the moment is: Since Lingqi is so old , then it must be the future, and these people should be my future team. Remember their faces in advance, and it will be easier to recruit when you see them in the future.

Zhang Liao is currently being trained by his father-in-law, and Gao Shun is in charge of the central army. So Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian, who hold the same important positions as them and guard the other three city gates respectively, must also be loyal generals.

In addition, although Lu Bu relied on force and had no fear of being recognized as "not who he is", he did not conceal his unfamiliarity with them and the specific battles when communicating with the generals, and asked many superficial questions that could be called ridiculous, but those generals No one had any doubts, and some people, such as the one named Cao Xing, even looked excited.

Could it be that Zuo Ci deliberately set these people up so that they would not be suspicious at all? Or maybe this "Lu Bu" has always been focused on fighting and never cared about specific military affairs?

In addition, out of some intuition, Lu Bu did not ask questions about his father-in-law Dong Zhuo and related counselors and generals. The answer would definitely not be too good. For now, he only needs to focus on solving the current dilemma.

"Oh~oh~ After seeing the generals, my lord has been thinking deeply. Could it be that he has a clever plan?" Chen Gong asked Lu Bu after all the generals returned to their posts.

"..." Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong. If this guy who always said refrains was his only adviser, then his "future" seemed to be very bad indeed.

Wait, the "only" counselor?

Think about it, what did Li Ru, as Dong Zhuo's "only" counselor, do when he defeated Tan Shihuai's vanguard? Without consulting his father-in-law, he put all his subordinates in trouble, especially himself. He inexplicably gave him the title of "Thousand-man Killer". Later, he often used this title to scare away the opponent's thousands of troops. And he himself only took a few hundred people with him before he dared to chase them one after another.

Although the adjective "literary" is not used, what is certain is that if a "lord" has only one "adviser", he can mobilize almost all the resources of the Lord to achieve his own goals.

This Chen Gong is not an incompetent person. He can figure out the opponent's siege strategy, but he only came up with the strategy of "holding tight and waiting for help". This can only prove that either he has different intentions, or - he needs "resources" "Including myself as the "lord"!

"Huh, of course I already have a clever plan," Lu Bu snorted and said, "That is to leave the decision-making power of this battle completely to you, Chen Gongtai. Except for the group of miscellaneous fish before, even this uncle and Lingqi, you can do whatever you want."

"My lord... my lord!" Chen Gong accidentally dropped the letters he always held in his hands, and then bowed deeply: "Gong, you will live up to your trust!"

Hum, Lu Bu looked at his daughter Lingqi who was also dumbfounded with a bit of pride. This strategy is called "If you are not smart, then listen to smart people". It belongs to the thirty-six strategies... Li Daitao Jian? No, no.

————

The so-called "listen to smart people in everything" is indeed very unpleasant.

After Lu Bu easily jumped off the city wall, he thought with a little discomfort as he watched his soldiers descend slowly.

Led five thousand "trapped" soldiers, fell from the city wall with ropes, surrounded Xiapi City, drove away all the generals of Cao's army who were launching attacks, destroyed the "stronghold" used to supply troops, and then went straight south to occupy Surabaya. on the dam.

This is the task Chen Gong gave Lu Bu. In addition to "what to do\

,"There is no "what" and "why" at all. The person who received the order has no idea what is going on. If his strategy has always been this style, then there are many generals in the city who want to surrender when the situation is unfavorable. Not surprisingly.

However, daring to divide the already stretched 20,000 defenders into 5,000 was considered courageous.

"My Majesty, Li Mancheng~ also known as 'The Man with the Sixth Sense'~" When half of the troops led by Lu Bu were left, an enemy army surged out of the city like a tide. It was roughly estimated that there were five or six thousand people, led by The person was a young military general with a blue helmet and blue armor, holding a big gun, with a slender face and wearing a small hat: "I feel that there is a chance of victory here, so——"

Before he could finish his words, Lu Bu rushed over quickly, jumped up high, fell heavily, and smashed his halberd in front of the general who called himself Li Mancheng. A sudden burst of red and black electricity swept him and his horses far away. It flew away, and when it landed, it knocked over a group of soldiers following behind.

"Victory opportunity? Huh?" Lu Bu put the halberd back on his shoulder and stared at the general.

"Ahem... Defeating Lu Bu is indeed a chance of victory..." Li Mancheng got up, turned around and ran away: "Everyone knows this kind of thing!"

"Huh!" Lu Bu watched the remaining thousands of soldiers follow the general and breathed a sigh of relief.

The young general's "unparalleled" "sixth sense" is indeed very accurate. If they risk hundreds or even thousands of lives to contain themselves while their men are climbing over the wall and have no ability to fight back, And if the trapped camp over there is defeated, this defensive battle will be lost.

However, it can scare them away directly. It seems that Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian's reputation is still quite effective now.

Next, during the process of "circling the city" and "attacking the dam", Lu Bu encountered the one-eyed and single-sword general who claimed that "you will never be allowed to hinder Mengde's hegemony", and the one-eyed general who was still eating steamed buns before the battle, shouting " I won't let you pass" the fat man with a huge hammer, and the strong man who said "I am the iron wall of the Cao family", wearing heavy armor and holding a shield.

In the process, the "trapped camp" following him also lost nearly a thousand people. Even though Lu Bu tried his best to quickly defeat those generals and kill the remaining soldiers, he could not save them. Moreover, it seemed that it was because of the illusion. , they did not escape with serious injuries as expected, but simply died on the battlefield.

No matter what kind of "trap camp" Lu Bu originally wanted to form, in this illusion, they were heavy infantry holding swords and shields and wearing thick black armor. They had amazing breakthrough power but very poor mobility. Often when attacking a certain unit, they will be directly "trapped" inside. When they break out of the formation later, although they can inflict serious damage to the opponent, the sword and shield soldiers who failed to break through can only stay in the enemy's formation and wait to die if they cannot be rescued. .

"My strong wall will never collapse here!" The strong shield-wielding man named Cao Ren was finally defeated by Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi who came to support him, and fled the Sishui Dam in panic with the rest of his troops. .

At this point, Chen Gong's plan has been completed, and Lu Lingqi, who came in a time jam, brought Chen Gong's further orders as expected:

"When the fire breaks out in the city, open the floodgates and release the water?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw flames rising into the sky in Xiapi City in the distance.

————

At this point, the full picture of Chen Gong’s strategy can be seen:

Leverage Lu Bu's bravery to drive away the enemy troops who have been attacking the city wall and leaking information inside the city, and then attack and occupy the dam. While attracting attention, the enemy guessed that they had thought of a water attack, so they had to make a decision. To respond, such as launching a fire attack in advance, preventing Lu Bu from returning reinforcements, suppressing it with well gates and catapults, etc.

At this time, when he was not worried about the leakage of information, he could Shi Shiran make corresponding arrangements in the city. If nothing unexpected happened, the fire that broke out in the city at this time would definitely not burn arms and food.

"Tell me about your second plan," Lu Bu said, pointing to the dam that had been controlled by the trapped camp and was trying to open it: "What if my father fails to occupy the dam in time and is successfully destroyed by the enemy?"

"Well, then please ask father to go to the east of Xiapi, smash... break the city wall and release the water in the city." Lu Lingqi replied with an expression of "very doubtful about what she said."

What did Chen Gong think of Lu Bu? A battering ram?

Crash--

During the conversation, the dam gate was raised, and the Qishui and Si Rivers surrounding Xiapi suddenly surged. However, because they were rivers themselves, there was no scene of flooding in Xiapi. The skyrocketing river water only overflowed a small part, and the water in Xiapi was flooded. The land around Pi City was soaked in large areas, and the troops might still be able to pass through, but the large siege equipment that started to advance toward the city wall because they saw the fire were completely stuck in the mud one by one and could not move.

Then, the flames soaring into the sky everywhere in the city were extinguished like blown out candles.

"Well...it seems that Chen Gongtai is quite capable." Lu Bu secretly decided that after leaving this illusion, he must first catch young people who repeat words before speaking, and then slowly recruit them, "But did he expect that?" at this point?"

"Well, I'm sorry, that's the end of his instructions to me," Lu Lingqi clenched her huge halberd in an offensive posture: "I will definitely protect my father!"

Around the dam, the generals of Cao's army who had been beaten away by Lu Bu were gathering around with their troops. Obviously, since they could not capture Xiapi at this time, catching Lu Bu was considered a victory for them.

Behind the generals, in the center of the army, stood a man in blue with sword-shaped eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a solemn expression. He was also guarded by a bald man holding a pair of halberds.

"Ha... How can I, my father, need you to protect me, Lingqi?" Lu Bu was speaking halfway when he heard a cannon shot from behind the enemy army, and a large flag with the word "Yuan" was raised, followed by a group of about 50,000 people. troops appeared there.

As soon as Yuan's army appeared, thousands of people shouted in unison as if they had rehearsed in advance: "[My young master said: Father-in-law! My son-in-law is here with his army as promised! Please marry Lingqi to me!]"

At the same time, the gate of Xiapi City was opened, and the defenders led by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and a number of generals whose names I could not remember also came out and surrounded Cao's army on three sides, which was trapped in the mud and struggling to move.

Lu Bu could clearly see Chen Gong standing on the city wall of Xiapi, writing something down on the slipper he carried with him. When Lu Bu looked over, he bowed with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, Lingqi, if you want to beat up Yuan Yao and Chen Gong, try to be gentle."

"As you command, Father."
