Three Kingdoms

Wen Hou Lu Bu had suffered a lot from Yuan Shu before, but now he feels that he is finally getting better.

Although Yuan Shu didn't say anything directly to Lu Bu before, the contemptuous attitude still made Lu Bu somewhat aware of it, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

I originally thought that my unparalleled martial arts would eventually be reused, but the reality is so cruel. When I say no, it means no matter what, even if I can, it won't work. Under such circumstances, Lu Bu was under Yuan Shu's side. Bian didn't have any room to display, so he could only leave sadly.

But it seems to be different now. When Yuan Shao heard that Lu Bu was coming to join him, he went out of the city to welcome him. This behavior naturally made Lu Bu look good, so he happily stayed with Yuan Shao. This time, he was given an important task by Yuan Shao. , led three thousand cavalry to attack Zhang Yan's camp in Montenegro.

Of course, this "important task", the actual situation is not what Lu Bu thought. These three thousand cavalry have another commander, that is, a senior cadre.

The high-ranking cadres were from Chenliu and were married to the Yuan family. Therefore, for these important cavalry, Yuan Shao would naturally feel more at ease if he handed control over them to his own family.

What Lu Bu can directly control is only the 800 cavalry as the vanguard.

Even so, Lu Bu still didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, Yuan Shao probably still hasn't fully understood his bravery and commanding ability, so it's understandable that he doesn't have many troops for the time being...

As long as Zhang Yan is captured, things will naturally change.

Zhang Yan's military strength was clearly explained before departure. He even took out a map and explained it carefully, for fear that because Lu Bu had just arrived in Jizhou, he might take the wrong route or something might happen. What unexpected circumstances caused the mistake...

After the arrangements were made, Lu Bu led his headquarters and 800 cavalry, and couldn't wait to move forward, dragging down the senior cadre's follow-up troops by a large margin.

Calling it reckless, maybe a little bit, but to be honest, Lu Bu actually didn't pay attention to Zhang Yan's military strength at all. Even without Yuan Shao's 800 cavalry, he was the only one, well, one halberd. You can come and go as easily!

Although Lu Bu has not read many poems and books, but for him, who has been working with wolves, barbarians, and horse thieves for many years on the Bingbei grassland, and has made great military achievements while stationed on the border, his keen intuition on the battlefield is unparalleled in the world. Second.

Needless to say, judging from the distribution on the map, Lu Bu has already noticed that Zhang Yan's military strength has expanded to the limit...

Assuming that Zhang Yan's army is just stationed in one place, and 30,000 to 40,000 people pile up in one place, it will be quite difficult to deal with in an area with mostly plains like Jizhou. Even if the cavalry is fast, it will be slightly slow when charging. If you accidentally fall into a crowd of people, the only thing left is death. Perhaps it is possible for a person with strong martial arts skills like Lu Bu to break out of the siege, but ordinary soldiers have nothing to do...

But now Zhang Yan has attacked such a large area in such a short time, and the Black Mountain Army is mainly infantry, so the entire army has expanded to the extreme. Even the originally huge force is now dispersed to various points. On the other hand, they are no different from stragglers.

Although Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was said to have millions, Lu Bu didn't believe it at all.

This million is actually the same imaginary number as the one hundred thousand claimed when the White Wave Army revolted. The real number of the Black Mountain Army is only half a million, which also includes women, children, the elderly and the weak. Among them, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people who can actually go into battle. Even if all the young and strong people are included, there are only 70,000 to 80,000 people who can stand up to the sky.

If the millions of troops were really soldiers, Zhang Yan could have swept across Jizhou long ago, so why would he have to huddle in the Black Mountains for many years?

Among these 50,000 to 60,000 people, probably less than one-third are Yellow Turban veterans, soldiers who have seen blood and are somewhat courageous, while the rest are just peasant soldiers with swords, or even They are worse than ordinary peasants and soldiers. After all, there is a shortage of materials in Montenegro. Even if they are equipped with weapons, they will be much worse than the weapons that the noble nobles of Jizhou give to their tenants.

How could such people be placed in Lu Bu's heart?

It's just that this time, there is still some distance to get to the area around Yecheng...

The red toad horse had not galloped freely for a long time, and it was shaking its head happily. For it, letting the wind blow the horse's mane in front of it, and letting the soil roll under the soles of its feet, there is probably no happier thing in the world than running.

Wei Xu pinched the belly of the war horse and drove the horse forward to catch up with Lu Bu for a while. Finally, he was about to catch up with Lu Bu. However, the red toad horse looked sideways and saw that there was still someone trying to catch up with me?

He suddenly became a little unhappy, snorted, spread his hooves, and left Wei Xu far behind...

"Wen Hou!" Wei Xu had no choice but to call out loudly, "Wait a moment, wait a moment..."

Lu Bu laughed, then patted the red tug horse on the head, and then slowly slowed down the horse, giving Wei Xu a chance to catch up.

The red toad horse was still a little unhappy. When he saw Wei Xu's war horse coming over and trying to get close to him, he turned his head in displeasure and took a bite. Although he didn't really bite it, it still frightened Wei Xu. The war horse quickly retreated half a step, just following the red horse's butt, and did not dare to move forward.

Wei Xu had no choice but to say: "Marquis Wen, General Gao's rear army is already more than ten miles away from us. Do you want to wait for them..."

Lu Bu turned around, squinted at the smoke and dust behind him, smiled disdainfully, and said, "What are you waiting for them to do?" From one look at the figure of that high-ranking officer, he knew that even if he had martial arts, he had long since lost all his skills. Lu Bu didn't have much fondness for this kind of person, who was fat and loose as hell.

When Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's expression, he knew that he did not understand what he meant, so he quickly said: "Marquis Wen, General Gao is married to the Yuan family, and he is more or less half of the Yuan family, so he is leaving him behind. Isn’t there something..."

Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted Wei Xu's words. He already understood what Wei Xu meant.

Gao Gan and Yuan Shao have a marriage relationship, which means that if Gao Gan says good things to Yuan Shao for Lu Bu, Lu Bu's life will naturally be much easier...

But for Lu Bu, these things were not at all within his scope of consideration.

Flattery?

Forming cliques?

Could it be that the dignified Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian were reduced to doing such a thing?

Lu Bu did not want to do this, nor was he willing to do so. He was only willing to show off with the war horse under his crotch and the halberd in his palm, to gain his own share of pride and glory. So Lu Bu didn't want to say anything more to Gao Gan. He even felt that it didn't matter whether there were follow-up troops from Gao Gan in this battle...

Lu Bu smiled, looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky, and then slowly uttered half a sentence: "...Why is it necessary..."

…………………………

Two days later, Lu Bu, who had no reservations about the speed of his march, had led his troops to directly contact the most extended Montenegrin Army's Yudu troops.

Yu Du kept holding the sword, his palms already sweating nervously.

There were not many archers in the rear, but now their quivers were empty. Just holding a bow was of no use, and they could only stand there in confusion.

The Montenegrin Army's equipment is poor, and once its morale is hit, it is difficult to recover. The problem is clearly exposed.

At the beginning, Yu Du's troops were pretty good. They not only resisted Lu Bu's front cavalry army, but also killed many of these cavalry troops. When they were about to be overwhelming and defeat the invading cavalry troops in one fell swoop, however, The killing god on the opposite side appeared out of nowhere, and with his personal guards, he came and whizzed away like mowing grass, and no one could stop him even half a step!

At first, Yu Du was delighted to see that his archers, who were professional hunters from the mountains, seemed to have achieved some results after many days of practice. They shot down a lot of cavalry, and some injured cavalry were surrounded by their own infantry. Either he was stabbed to death directly on the horse, or he was pulled to the ground and cut into pieces with random blades. However, all the good momentum disappeared with the arrival of the God of Death...

Yu Du's sword had been raised, and the guards around him were watching his movements nervously. If Yu Du waved his hand next, the guards who had been recharging their strength behind him would follow. Yu Du immediately stepped forward to take up his position to face the God of Killing, stepped forward to meet the impact, and accepted the harshest hand-to-hand combat!

However, in Yudu's sight, the guy who was waving his halberd unscrupulously yelled something, and then the surrounding cavalry violently separated their horses and rushed to both sides, and they were actually fighting in the infantry formation. Another path was opened in the middle, allowing the subsequent cavalry to follow the passage and hit the chaotic Montenegrin infantry line like a huge wave!

Except for a very small number of heavy infantry, the general light infantry is basically no match for the cavalry. If we form a neat array and then use spears and shields to resist forcefully, it is still possible to withstand the impact of the cavalry. But now, the cavalry led by Lu Bu has completely caused chaos in the entire formation, pulling the array apart. They are all twisted and twisted, and there is no coordination between them. How can they resist it?

If the archers still have arrow reserves, they can still provide some suppressive power, but now they can only rely on the head-to-head combat of the Montenegrin infantry. How can they be Lu Bu's opponent?

At the moment when Yu Du was hesitating, the cavalry unit with Lu Bu as the vanguard had already killed the Montenegrin Army's infantry array to the point where it almost collapsed. Lu Bu's Fangtian painted halberd flew in the air and screamed like an evil ghost. It split open countless spears that were thrust forward. It cut off the arms and necks of countless Black Mountain infantrymen. The red toad horse was also excited, kicking and biting, and was kicked in the body by the horse's hoof as big as a bowl. Basically, it ended up with broken bones and flying.

Among them, Lu Bu looked even more brave. From the beginning of the battle to now, the strength of ordinary people would inevitably have declined, but Lu Bu showed no change. He even felt that the more he fought, the more excited he became, and the more he fought, the more brave he became. Wherever he waved his Fangtian Painted Halberd, the leader Invincible, blood rains everywhere it passes.

Lu Bu shouted wildly, and Fang Tian drew his halberd from top to bottom, fiercely splitting a Montenegrin soldier in front of him in half with his shoulders and back. Blood rain shot up into the sky, splashing all over the surrounding Montenegrin soldiers' bodies and faces. He was so frightened that the surrounding Montenegrin soldiers were so frightened that they no longer dared to face Lu Bu, so they turned around and ran away!

The Montenegrin Army's infantry circle array was already quite weak after being attacked in close combat. These Montenegrin infantry, under the sudden attack, reluctantly rallied under Yu Du's order. Seeing such fierceness, it was one-sided. In the scene of being massacred, and having to face such a fierce attack from Lu Bu, I could no longer hold on...

Although there are still many infantry of our own around, there is only a thin last line of resistance at the front. The infantry on both sides have shrunk, and the pace of replenishment to the front array has slowed down again and again, and even stopped. Without moving, the entire formation was completely destroyed.

The supervisory team at the rear who kept driving the infantry forward were also helpless. These Black Mountain soldiers were like mud in front of Lu Bu. After encountering the torrential blow from Lu Bu's troops, they were in a mess. No matter how the supervising team maintained and killed the defeated soldiers, these soldiers who did not have much battle experience Still crying for his father and mother, he turned around and ran out, swarming past the supervising team, leaving everything behind, desperate to leave this slaughterhouse where human lives were exchanged for human lives.

The infantry array collapsed and shattered under the fierce attack of Lu Bu's cavalry!

At the moment, everyone of the Montenegrin infantry was running frantically for their lives, just trying to save their lives in this cruel fight. Some even lost their weapons. They were obviously frightened by the cruel battlefield and kept on fighting. They were howling and running around with their heads in their hands.

This Black Mountain Army is not an elite force like Bingzhou Soldiers or Xiliang Soldiers who have experienced border battles. They are not even comparable to ordinary county soldiers. They are just some people gathered by Zhang Yan and various commanders to form an army among the hungry people. Naturally The performance is so unbearable.

Lu Bu laughed heartily, not caring that he and Red Tuma were covered in blood, and suddenly shouted with high fighting spirit: "X, Lu Bu, Lu Feng is here first! Who dares to fight with X!"

Yu Du's hand shook again and again. He held up the sword but still lacked the courage to swing it. After hearing Lu Bu's shouts in the formation, even the last bit of courage seemed to have dissipated. He put away the sword and turned his head. Then he ran away...

…………………………

"... Lu Yu's good horse, named Chitu, galloped through the city and into the chasm. Along with his strong generals Cheng, Wei, and others, he rode into the formation. In one day or three or four, he fought in succession and defeated the Yan army..."

After all, Ju Yi was leading infantry. Relatively speaking, his marching speed was not as fast as Lu Bu's cavalry. When he arrived at Yecheng, he had not yet officially sent out troops to fight the Black Mountain Army. However, he received such a piece of news and immediately I don't know whether to be happy or surprised.

Of course, in addition to the battle report, another piece of news came, which immediately made Ju Yi frown, "...Yuan Cheqi wants Gao and Lu to take over a certain military power?!"

Ju Yi laughed a few times, and his eyes gradually turned cold...
