Three Kingdoms

After the Weixu tribe received Lu Bu's support, they began to gather people from various tribes. About 3,000 people, old and young, also gathered together. Weixu was afraid of the Yanqi people, so he was unwilling to do so before he knew exactly the arrival of Lu Bu's Han army. He took the initiative to attack, so he followed Yanqi's nomadic route from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

Today I was informed by Han soldiers that Lu Bu's army had arrived at the rear, so Wei Xu was asked to prepare. Wei Xu immediately summoned several leaders for discussion.

"If the people of Yanqi knew that the king came with the Han people, they would definitely not dare to fight and would run away..." a captain said, "Although there are eight thousand people in Yanqi now, not all of them are together. They are scattered in three areas. Water grass pasture, so they will definitely escape after getting the news..."

"The Yanqi people are very cunning, we should be more careful..." Another captain added, "The same goes for the Han people... What if the Han people take advantage of us to fight with the Yanqi people..."

"The Han people shouldn't be so dishonest, right?" Another of Wei Xu's subordinates said, "Don't the Han people talk about loyalty and loyalty every day? You can't just make a fuss about what you say, right?"

"You keep your word? Then why hasn't that big-assed bitch promised to me when we were drinking last time?"

"This... this... I'm talking about the Han people. What did you say I did? Besides, who knows if you deliberately made me drink at that time..."

"That's because you're not a good drinker. Who can you blame?"

"Okay!" Chief Wei Xu has a headache. The nomadic people's loose alliance tribal system is like the so-called democratic parliamentary system of rice in later generations. Discussions often go wrong, "Yanqi must beat!"

Chief Wei Xu spoke very firmly and in a tough tone, but the captains under his command also nodded silently, and no one refuted. Because all Weixu people, including the leader of the Weixu tribe, know that on this grassland, only the weak can eat the strong. If a tribe appears to be weak, it will not only lose the support of other tribes, but will also continue to be invaded and devoured. Until this tribe disappeared from history.

The Weixu people were defeated by the Yanqi people, and the status and dignity they had maintained were trampled to the ground. If they did not take this opportunity to re-establish it, the Weixu people would face being cut with small knives again and again! Regardless of his position of power, even his wife in his own tent may become the slave of others.

Therefore, no matter how Chief Weixu calculated it or how much he paid the Han people, he had to win the war with Yanqi first.

"We attack!" Chief Wei Xu said in a deep voice, "But we are not the main force! We can lure the Yanqi people out... and then engage in a pincer attack with the Han people! The Han people... are definitely willing to do the same..."

……o(′^｀)o……

"Daduhu! Yanqi has been chased out!" A Han army scout came galloping from a distance without dismounting. After reporting loudly, he quickly turned his horse's head and went to investigate again.

The scouts continued to bring information like a stream of water.

"Daduhu! The Yanqi people are very fast and are forty miles away from our army!"

"Dadu Protector, the Wei Xu people have passed through Caodianzi and are heading to the northeast!"

"The Yanqi people are thirty miles away from our army!"

One after another, the scouts rode horses and galloped back and forth, immediately conveying a message to the Han soldiers: a war was about to begin. The soldiers became excited, and everyone stopped whispering and began to check the weapons they carried with them for the last time. These were the guys who were going to accompany them to the battlefield, and they couldn't let their chains fall off due to any negligence.

Lu Bu sat on the ground calmly and stretched out one hand to touch the neck of the red rabbit horse beside him. Red Tuma lowered her head contentedly, snorted, stretched her neck, and even shook her head twice, changing her position to be scratched by Lu Bu. Lu Bu acted very calmly, only his eyes showed a bit of excitement eager to fight.

Wei Xu also led a red horse and stood behind Lu Bu. Wei Xu was very envious of Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, so he also specially found a red horse, just like a certain Thai imitating a certain Jie in later generations. Anyway, if you don't know horses, it will look similar at first glance. Let’s not talk about performance and so on. The similarity is the most important thing.

Gao Shun slightly sharpened the blade of the sword on the surface of the shield, then sheathed the sword and turned his neck, making a soft clicking sound, appearing calm and composed...

Now the only ones following Lu Bu are Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Cao Xing, such as Song Xianhou Cheng or something. After Lu Bu arrived in the Western Regions, fought one or two battles, and after he had established himself, he asked Lu Bu to resign and left. . Lu Bu didn't stop them. They had a last drink together and gave some gold and silver. It could be said that they got together and parted well. It was much better than in history. At least they left each other's face and friendship.

Lu Bu traveled all the way, and there were many people under his command, such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong. Everyone knows it, and the more famous ones are like Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and Hao. Meng, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, etc., and some relatively unknown ones, such as Xu Si, Wang Kai, Xue Lan, Li Feng, Wu Zi, Hou Xie, Qin Yilu, Gao Ya, Zhao Shu, Li Zou and others are basically unknown whether in history books or in unofficial history. Well, except for one, perhaps because of Guan Erye, Qin Yilu is more famous among these generals...

If it is beneficial to gather, it will gather; if it is beneficial to disperse, it will be dispersed.

This is normal and there is no need to hold on to it. On the contrary, these people who were willing to stay with Lu Bu in the Western Regions for a long time gained Lu Bu's respect and trust.

Of course, there are those who have left, and there are also new ones who have joined, such as Meng Hong, a descendant of the Montessori family...

Following Li Ru were Meng Shu and Jiang Ji, and some descendants of the Meng family followed Lu Bu, learning and growing up in the war. After all, Lu Bu's cavalry fighting skills were quite sharp...

Next to Meng Hong was a red-brown horse with reverse stripes. He pulled the reins and followed Lu Bu closely. He looked around nervously. This was his first time fighting such a battle with Lu Bu's large army, so he seemed a little nervous. In addition, Watching the scout running around more and more frequently, the muscles all over his body became stiff and tense, and even his breathing was a bit heavy and chaotic.

"Take a deep breath..." Lu Bu heard Meng Hong's heavy breathing like a blower, and couldn't help but turn around and say to him with a smile, "Take a deep breath... Yes, take a few more breaths... Just follow me..."

Meng Hong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and took a few deep breaths according to Lu Bu's instructions. He felt that his breathing was easier, but his heart was still beating desperately.

"It is very important to know when to change formations when riding in battle..." Seeing that Meng Hong was still a little nervous, Lu Bu interrupted, on the one hand to eliminate the nervousness around him, and on the other hand to pass on his experience, " The cavalry gathers and disperses very quickly, so when to gather and when to disperse is what a general needs to pay attention to most on the battlefield... There is no fixed time for this, only changes in the specific situation on the battlefield... But there are One thing you need to pay attention to is that you can’t give orders more than three times, especially you can’t go back on your word, sometimes go east, sometimes go west..."

Meng Hong listened attentively, and his breathing gradually calmed down involuntarily.

"The center of this place is a meadow, surrounded by small slopes. With a terrain like this, you must be careful not to go to low-lying areas easily, otherwise you will suffer a big loss like the Yanqi people who came now..." Lu Bu adjusted the girdle of the red rabbit horse beside him, then covered the red rabbit horse with a horse jacket, and then got on the horse.

"The whole army is ready!"

Lu Bu has always been the type to command from the front, so Lu Bu's front line is pressed very far forward. Although Lu Bu told him to just let Meng Hong follow him, the atmosphere before the battlefield was still a bit depressing, and Meng Hong inevitably became a little nervous again, and he quickly started to take deep breaths in the way Lu Bu taught him.

The huffing and puffing sound may have been too loud. Even the guards following Lu Bu couldn't help but turn around and smile at Meng Hong. This made Meng Hong even more embarrassed and his face turned red.

Gao Shun glanced at Meng Hong, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't say anything. In Gao Shun's eyes, Wen Hou Lu Bu is in better shape now than he was in Shandong. He doesn't get angry easily, and even has the patience to teach young people in a friendly way. This is how Lu Bu truly looked like. Lu Bu was like this when he was fighting the Xianbei people in Bingzhou. Then when he arrived in Luoyang, he began to slowly change. Now it seems that everything is back on the original track. This feeling...

Very comfortable.

Gao Shun looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

All the soldiers have mounted their horses, and no one made a sound. Even the war horses can feel the battle that is about to break out. Their ears are erect and turning from time to time, as if they are ready to receive instructions to run forward at any time.

In the field of vision, billowing smoke and dust rise from the heights of the soil slope. The sound of horse hooves is like the beating of thousands of small drums from light to heavy. It is getting louder and denser. Gradually, the grass under the feet seems to be beating too. There was a tremor, and some of the war horses began to get a little restless, pawing at the ground uneasily.

Lu Bu remained calm and composed, with a happy smile even appearing on his face, and then he raised the Fang Tian Painted Halberd high amid the expectant gazes of everyone.

The messenger in the military formation immediately puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn he had been carrying for a long time. The long and low charge call immediately resounded throughout the entire grassy slope.

"Hoo..."

"Drive! Drive!"

The soldiers began to urge their horses forward, preparing to charge forward and down the slope.

The terrain is like a plate with a meadow sunken downwards in the middle. Therefore, when the Yanqi people rushed into the large plate from the outside, Lu Bu joined the battlefield from the outside of the plate and gave the Yanqi people a severe blow from the side.

"Kill! You bastards! Just one strike!" Lu Bu laughed, waving Fang Tian's painted halberd, and moved forward, "Follow me! Charge into the formation!"

It was only when the Yanqi people heard the sound of bull horns rising into the sky that they suddenly realized that they had been trapped. There was an opponent on the flank, and they couldn't help but panic...

"No chaos! Charge!" the leader of the Yanqi people roared loudly, "Blow the trumpet and let the left wing intercept! The rest move forward! Don't stop!" The center is a depression. If you stop in the center, you are simply courting death, so the only way The way is to continue to charge forward and engage in head-on combat with the opponent.

And there was no time to turn around, because the formation was not very complete during the pursuit. If they turned around at this time, some to the left and some to the right, they would definitely collide with each other and cause greater chaos. There don't seem to be many people emerging from the flank slope. Use the left wing to intercept them, and then you can escape from this dangerous area.

When Lu Bu and others crossed the top of the slope, the slightly downward slope helped all the cavalry accelerate to the limit in a short period of time. The Han cavalry roared loudly and pounced hard on the Yanqi people. Kill and go!

The left wing of the Yanqi people who were attacking also ordered: "Add arrows! Add arrows! Release..."

Gray, white, black, and chaotic arrows rose into the air and headed towards Lu Bu. However, the arrows that Yanqi expected penetrated his body and made him fall over.

Not to mention the protective power of the Han cavalry armor, but the lightweight and defensive horse clothes equipped by Lu Bu and others can reduce the damage of projectile arrows to a certain extent, and fall from the air due to their own gravity. Even though some of his arrows hit the horses, they could not go in or penetrate deep due to the clothes of the horses. Instead, they aroused the ferocity of the horses, and they screamed and ran forward.

After the Yanqi people fired two rounds, the two sides were already very close. Since the arrows did not have much ideal effect, even if the Yanqi people noticed something was wrong, they had no time to change other strategic patterns...

"Throw the gun! Get ready!"

The middle-level officers among the Han cavalry, as they entered the firing range, shouted in unison one after another, leading all the soldiers to draw the short-throwing spears attached to their backs. Even Lu Bu was no exception, backhanding from horseback. I took out one.

Compared with arrows, throwing guns naturally uses more iron, and after throwing them, even if you clean the battlefield, because the head and handle of the gun are easily damaged, it may not be reusable immediately, so it is relatively expensive. They are consumables, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, especially in war...

At close range, the power of the spear is several times that of ordinary arrows!

No matter it is flesh, bones, or even ordinary armor, it can be broken!

The Yanqi people had no defense against the spears coming towards them. With a continuous "puff" sound, large and small blood sprays suddenly erupted. The entire line seemed to have been swept across by a giant's hand. , even the left-wing leader of the Yanqi people was not spared from such a ferocious attack. Although he was not directly hit, the war horse under his crotch was kicked up because he could not avoid it, and the whole man and horse jumped into the air. What is shown in the air is a standard 180-degree roll...

At such a speed, even if the fallen horse survives or is not killed, it will be submerged by the rolling horseshoes. The left wing of the Yanqi people is almost like a soap bubble. It has not been shaken for long before it is Lu Bu and others "Bu" stabbed and tore them apart, and then rushed towards the central army of the Yanqi people!
