Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 312 Chapter 311 Anfeng’s Defeat (Changed)
They lost two games first, and the general lost to the opponent in a duel in front of the three armies. Then he yelled and cursed for five consecutive days, saying that the morale of the army was shaky. It was a bit exaggerated, but it was true that morale was low. Many sergeants showed up. Feeling timid.

In this state, even if they really set up an ambush, their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, mobilization before war is essential.

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

For example, if you open a warehouse to store grain, one meal a day during non-war periods suddenly becomes two or even three meals a day. This method has a relatively average effect.

For example, to stimulate the soldiers' desire to survive and tell them that the enemy has surrounded us, and the enemy claims to kill them all without leaving any survivors. If we want to survive, we can only fight to the death. This is exactly what we are surrounded by. reason.

Another example is to draw a pie and tell the brothers that our reinforcements have arrived and are ready to attack together, or maybe there is someone behind me on the opposite side who already knows their action plan in advance.

Guan Yu chose a two-pronged approach. He asked Wei Yan to call all the generals above the centurion to the school field and began to lecture.

"Brothers, I know that the morale in the camp has been low these days, and everyone thinks that our army will definitely be defeated. Today I want to tell you that the time to make achievements has come!"

When everyone looked at each other in confusion, Guan Yu raised the silk cloth in his hand high and showed his habitual contemptuous smile, "I have received a military report. Two days from tomorrow, Lu Jun will attack our stronghold at night. Everyone. You can follow me and ambush in the stronghold, and only wait for Lu Jun to enter the stronghold, then you can avenge Pao Ze who died in the battle and make meritorious deeds for yourselves!"

Everyone was startled. Is there any internal response?
True or false, if it is true, then this battle can be fought. If you deploy in advance and wait for work, it will not be difficult to win.

The problem is, there was an inside job, so why was he ambushed the first time?
Seeing the excitement on Guan Yu's Leng Ao face, no one dared to ask.

Seeing that no one agreed, Wei Yan fulfilled his duty of admiration, raised his right arm and shouted: "Make meritorious service! Revenge! Make meritorious service! Revenge!"

People have a tendency to follow blindly, especially a general like Wei Yan who has fellow countrymen with them. Even if his prestige is not comparable to that of Huang Zhong, he still responds to his call.

Then, some people began to shout, and finally more than a hundred people began to shout in unison.

Wei Yan is still easy to use. It is rare for Guan Yu to think of someone other than Zhang Fei as a person.

When he was about to shout, he pressed his hand and shouted in full voice: "Let the food officer bring out the wine and meat in the camp, give the brothers a full meal, and make contributions!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

"The Marquis was still a little too cautious. From what I saw, the red-faced thief was about to be defeated. After finishing his treatment, he went to Lujiang and beheaded Jiangdong's son.

Guangling City is so majestic below, we brothers should give it a try! "

After receiving Lin Mo's reply, he did not give them a magical strategy to defeat the enemy as they thought. Instead, they were shocked and retreated to Guangling first.

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

More than 1000 miles away, the battle situation is constantly changing, and Lin Mo can't control it remotely even though he has three heads and six arms.

What's more, we are still in this situation of being attacked from both sides.

"Don't talk nonsense. The Marquis just suggested that we evacuate, but he didn't say that we must evacuate immediately. Besides, the letter also said that it can be done by Mr. Zijing's camera. This matter still depends on Mr. Zijing's decision." Wen Chou was He 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 seemed to always remember his status as a surrendered general. In a circle like Lu Ying where everyone was harmonious on the surface but undercurrents were surging underneath, he tried his best not to offend.

Especially the Xuzhou gentry who were the starting team.

Lu Su chuckled, nodded, and asked: "General, you are serious. The general in the Anfeng battle is the chief general, and I am the supervisor of the army. I wonder what the general means?"

Wen Chou was startled. He probably didn't expect Lu Su to have such an easy-going personality.

If this were the Northern Kingdom in the early years, counselors standing in Lu Su's position would have started talking nonsense.

He glanced at Yan Liang, then looked at the map, and said in a tentative tone: "I feel that Liu Junbing has no fighting spirit at the moment, so even if he attacks by force, the casualties will not be too great.

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

The Marquis has great power and does not consider us guilty of losing the city, but since we have taken Anfeng, we have the responsibility to defend the territory and repel the enemy. "

"Brother is right! I think back then Cao Cao abandoned Jinyang City. With no reinforcements, not much food and grass, and deep and desperate situation, Boning still fought to the death. Not to mention that we had enough troops and food, why should we retreat? ?”

Yan Liang said with a smile: "If you quit now and go back to see Boning, won't he laugh at me?"

Rough words are not rough.

Lu Su smiled without saying a word.

He understood Lin Mo's intentions. This letter was just telling him that if the situation was unfavorable, he could evacuate safely and boldly, and he would never be held responsible for the defeat.

But at the same time, he did not ask for immediate evacuation, but allowed himself to take action, because he understood too well that the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and the most taboo thing for a master is to make hasty countermeasures in the absence of reciprocal information. Be careful, it will harm the three armies.

It’s Yunwen after all.

If the current situation were the same as before, with Lu Su's calm character, he would choose to withdraw without hesitation.

Anyway, with Lu Lin's current strength, losing a few counties will not cause too big an impact. He can counterattack at any time after he regroups his army.

However, the situation now is very different from when I first wrote the letter.

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

The core of the mutual disdain between literati is actually due to the fact that books have not been popularized. The literati who travel in the sea of ​​​​books are also arrogant and feel that they are superior to others.

An honest man like Lu Zijing did not lose himself or elevate his identity in the Four Books, Five Classics and War Strategies. This is why Lin Mo confided in him.

But this does not mean that he is a submissive person with no principles. He may not fight, and he may not be as dazzling as the old scumbag or Guo Fengxiao. He may not even put the three armies in danger for the sake of family glory. , but he is always willing to prove to his boss that he will not disappoint.

What's more, at first he was worried that the person coming was Zhuge Liang. If his own side, which was at a disadvantage in the overall situation, could not reverse the strategy, it would indeed end badly in the end. However, after two battles, it was enough to prove that Guan Yu had no decent counselors by his side.

Now that Guan Yu's defeat has been revealed, it is theoretically possible to deal with him and then retreat from Jiangdong's troops.

"I agree with the general's choice."

The three most important people in the council hall all had the same idea, but Wen Chou did not make a bold statement directly. Instead, he looked at Hao Zhao, who had not spoken for a long time and looked thoughtful, and said, "Does Bo Dao have any ideas?"

Hao Zhao, who had just joined the camp and only participated in the battle to pacify Wuhuan, was not qualified to make suggestions. He was a little surprised when Wen Chou asked him. He quickly shook his head and said, "The general has no objections, it's just..."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Sun Ce had an army of [-], and he defeated Wan County in three days. Logically speaking, he should have captured the entire Lujiang River and attacked Jiujiang to block our retreat. Why did he delay for so long?"

This thinking is a bit jumpy.

However, Wen Chou also wanted to understand this issue and couldn't help but look at Lu Su.

Probably, only Yan Liang is more casual. Anyway, fighting is not a fight.

"If my guess is correct, the agreement between Sun Ce and Liu Bei should have Liu Bei's army contain Anfeng City, and let Sun Ce attack Lujiang and Jiujiang with lightning speed, thus blocking our army's retreat. Then we will Became a trapped beast."

Everyone seemed to be able to think of this section, and Lu Su continued: "Such an arrangement has advantages and disadvantages. Those who benefit from it will be overwhelming in Lujiang and Jiujiang. When we finally reach Anfeng City, our army will be alone. If we are alone, we will be alone." If you have no fighting spirit, you can do it with just a snap of your fingers.”

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He thought of the Jinyang City where Manzhan Baima condensed the army's morale. Isn't it just such a lone army?

"Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. Once there is no way out, the soldiers may rely on their will to survive to fight one against a hundred. But at this time, Sun Ce cannot surround three without one. Even if the final result is victory, I am afraid it will be a tragic victory. .

This was something Sun Ce didn't want to see, because even if he captured the three counties of Huainan, he would still have to hold on. If the battle was over, and Marquis Wen and Yunwen mobilized the Pengcheng army to attack, how could he resist. "

After saying this, a look of understanding appeared on everyone's faces, and they couldn't help but nod.

It turned out to be the case.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Lu Su saw a chance to turn defeat into victory. If the two alliances really cooperated sincerely, this situation would have been doomed.

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 that Guan Yu was defeated. The development of the matter was beyond his expectation. He did not expect that our army would fight Guan Yu like this. Simply So I will drag out the war for a while, so that I can use Guan Yu and us to kill time, and in the end he can reap the benefits."

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

With such an ally, Liu Bei would be in bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Both Wen Chou and Hao Zhao had pensive expressions on their faces, and they had obviously changed their views on Sun Ce. This overall view was not simple.

"Well, sir, I think it's almost time. Is it time to take action?" Yan Liang put aside the topic and returned to the main line.

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

"Don't worry, supervisor. They have been prepared for a long time. Two thousand cattle are in the north camp and can be moved at any time." Hao Zhao handed over.

After hearing this, Lu Su looked at Wen Chou. After the latter nodded, he said loudly: "Listen to the order!"

"Let the soldiers rest during the day tomorrow. After nightfall, the Fire Bull Formation will open the way. General Yan Liang will lead eight thousand soldiers and horses to attack Guan Yu's camp!"

"Order!"

After Yan Liang handed over, Lu Su continued: "Please ask General Wen Chou to lead five thousand troops to guard the entrance of the village. If there is a change, whether to fight or retreat will be decided by the general."

"It's an order." Wen Chou frowned slightly, somewhat incomprehensible, but in the end he didn't say anything.

It's not long since I came to Lu Ying. I have fought with Lin Mo and seen Jia Xu's methods. The two of them have their own strengths, but when it comes to using troops, each one is better than the other.

But the impression Lu Su gave him was that he focused on stability.

Judging from the current morale of Guan Yu's army, anyone who is a little more radical would just choose to attack with all their might, but he actually deployed himself to be responsible for the response. Isn't this too cautious?

The fire ox array opens the way. This kind of gameplay is very damaging to the foundation. After next spring, you will have to ask Xuzhou for oxen for supplies. Otherwise, even if there is a curved shaft plow, it will be impossible to farm.

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

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

Fortunately, Yan Liang attacked him and took over. If they exchanged tasks, Yan Liang would probably be able to stamp his feet and start a quarrel with Lu Su.

"General Hao leads [-] troops and ambush in Menggu Mountain. If no enemy is seen after daybreak, he can retreat to Anfeng City."

"Order!"

Guan Yu's Dazhai was in the north, and Menggu Mountain was in the east. They were completely opposite, but Hao Zhao was very happy to receive the order.

"Hey, Supervisor, after Guan Yu's defeat, he either ran away or headed west. Why did you ask Bo Dao to go to Menggu Mountain?"

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

Without waiting for Lu Su to explain, Hao Zhao himself said: "The general guessed that the supervisor army was worried that Jiangdong soldiers and horses would take advantage of the bloody battle between the two armies to suddenly attack me unprepared. Meng Gushan is not a must-pass for entering Anfeng. road, but it is the fastest way.”

"The scout didn't report back either." Yan Liang waved his hands.

"General, those who are good at fighting can hide thousands of troops and horses invisible. Although there are not many mountains in Huainan, it is not impossible to hide a marching army of ten thousand people."

Lu Su explained calmly: "Besides, if the formation has been called for five days in a row, but there will be no formation during the day tomorrow, Guan Yu can certainly think that our army is about to launch a general attack. It is always right to be careful."

"A great talent in the supervision of the army." After hearing this, Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou with sympathy in his eyes. Brother, I thought you had special arrangements on the other side. It seems not. You are just my backup force.

The next day.

For the first time, Lu Jun did not lead his men to brazenly run outside the village to scold him. This made Liu Jun extremely happy. You must be tired at last.

But in Guan Yu's opinion, this was a kind of excitement.

This proves that tonight is the day for Lu Jun to take action.

It was impossible for them to wait outside in broad daylight all day and then come to attack the stronghold. Before launching a general attack, they had to ensure the vigor of the soldiers.Now, all the arrangements are in place, just waiting for this moment.

The day has come to avenge past shame.

This day passed very quietly, quite like the tranquility before the storm.

The sun is setting and night begins to fall.

Yan Liangwen and Chou's [-] troops left the city.

In the middle of the team were two thousand cattle.

The horns of these farming cattle are tied with sharp knives, and the tails of the cattle are tied with dry thatch.

Because it was dark night, even though the moon was bright in the sky, Liu Jun's scouts only dared to watch from a distance. Who would have the courage to stick in.

In fact, when they saw the mighty Lu army, the scouts were frightened and ran away.

The army arrived outside Guan Yu's camp again.

This time, they didn't beat the drums to challenge or make slanderous remarks. It was no longer necessary.

As the dry thatch soaked in tung oil instantly ignited, the frightened cattle let out a scream of "Hum" and began to rush towards Liu Jun's camp.

Viewed from above, two thousand cattle with flaming tails slowed down and rushed into Liu Jun's camp. The Liu family in the camp were frightened and ran away.

Wherever the cattle passed, Liu Jun who approached was stabbed to death with sharp knives hanging from the horns of the cattle. Bonfires flew across the road and tents were set on fire.

Outside the village, Yan Liang crossed his arms and felt that it was a pleasure to watch. He recalled that when Guan Yu and his men were fighting in front of the formation, he cherished his beard at first but wanted to burn the two-foot-long beard.

"Brother, is it almost done?" All the cattle rushed into the stockade, and Yan Liang couldn't hold it any longer.

Wen Chou looked sideways at the camp. The fire cow disappeared deep into the camp. The tents along the way were set on fire. There was chaos. He nodded, drew his soul-severing gun and pointed forward, shouting: "Brothers, rush in, Kill the general and achieve meritorious service!"

"Kill it!"

Yan Liang clamped the horse's belly fiercely and took the lead. After holding it in for five days, he could no longer hold back the fire.

The eight thousand troops rushed into Liu Jun's camp like a torrential flood, ready to kill all sides.

Something is wrong!
Yan Liang frowned, Liu Jun's number was too small.

After rushing for a long distance, I only saw dozens of corpses of Liu Jun who were trampled to death by cattle. No one even took care of the burning tent. This is too unreasonable.

Looking ahead, there was an obvious dividing line. One side was a mess trampled by the charging fire bulls, but the other side was peaceful.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the screams of cattle coming from that boundary.

Yan Liang quickly stopped the army: "Stop advancing, quickly, stop!"

There was a neighing of war horses and smoke and dust, and finally the speed slowed down.

Everyone was puzzled. Once the cavalry lost speed, its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Why did it stop when there was no ambush?

The sergeants behind him stepped forward to take a look, and their eyes widened.

In front of them was a deep ditch, one foot wide and more than two feet deep.

Originally, such a ravine could not stop two thousand cattle. However, after the cattle entered the village, they no longer ran in a straight line, but scattered in all directions. This also resulted in endless ravines on both sides. It is filled to the brim with cattle.

Moreover, there was more than one such ravine, and there were obviously several more ahead, which actually trapped all the cattle running around.

This.
how can that be.

Lu Su said that the best way to deal with the Fire Bull Formation is to use this kind of ravine, but the question is, how do they know they will use the Fire Bull Formation tonight?
Digging in advance?

That was obviously impossible. Such ravines ran through the entire military stronghold, more than a foot wide, and there were several of them dug at a time. Normally, it would affect the movement of the sergeants.

If the opponent is not the Fire Bull Formation, but chooses to attack directly, the sergeants from the rear who come to reinforce will definitely be slowed down by these deep trenches.

Yan Liang's first reaction was that there was a traitor in Anfeng City, otherwise the other party would never have been able to prepare in advance.

The problem is that about the Fire Ox Formation, other than himself, Lu Su, Wen Chou and Hao Zhao knew that even the cattle were separated in order to keep it secret.

In addition, during the battle, the sergeants could not leave the city at all. The scouts who escaped were all close confidants and could not surrender to the enemy.

Soon, he realized that it was not necessarily the enemy who knew their plan.

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

"Hurry! Hurry, hurry, the enemy is coming!" Wei Yan appeared, and he was running in a hurry with a group of people.

There were a lot of people, but their armor was messy and their formations were scattered. It was obvious that they were formed in a hurry.

Liu Jun's performance further confirmed Yan Liang's inner guess. There were indeed ravines ahead, which could not stop the cavalry. As for the infantry, it was not a big problem. It could be seen with the naked eye that the three ravines in front had been filled by cattle. full.

What's more, what would happen if Liu Jun was ambushed?
Can't they beat them? They have only a small amount of troops and no cavalry, so why should they be afraid?
"Brothers, come on!" Yan Liang was truly brave. After a brief hesitation, he firmly decided to attack.

The worst thing is, just fight them head-on.

The charge resumed, trampling the bodies of the cattle, crossing the ravine, and continuing forward.

There are four ravines ahead. The last ravine has not been filled in, but the depth has been filled by the cattle to about two feet. Even infantry can climb over it.

"No retreat, no retreat. Those who advance will live, those who retreat will die!"

Seeing Lu Jun's cavalry approaching, Liu Jun started to retreat. No matter how Wei Yan shouted, it had no effect.

This scene eliminated the last trace of doubt in Yan Liang's heart, and he pursued forward with confidence and boldness.

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

The escaping Liu Jun suddenly spread out from both sides, revealing a row of huge crossbows. The bottom was supported by a tripod. The crossbows placed above were obviously larger than ordinary crossbows. This was the Yuanrong crossbow invented by Huang Yueying. .

"put!"

Before Yan Liang could react, Wei Yan shouted loudly, and sixteen crossbows lined up side by side were activated by the soldiers.

Whoosh whoosh~
The ten arrow holes on Yuan Rong's crossbow fire arrows at the same time, and the powerful penetration force can even bury the entire arrow into the body of the war horse.

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
There was a scream of war horses, and the cavalry in the front row fell on their backs.

Go to camp first!
Yan Liang's eyes widened and he was shocked.

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

At first, Baima Yi, who dominated the Northern Kingdom, never went unfavorable, which gave Yuan Shao an incomparable headache. In the end, he lured them closer by hiding the army in the first camp. In the end, thousands of arrows were fired, which opened the chapter of Gongsun Zan's defeat.

The crossbow machine in front of me is different from the one that first arrived at the camp. It is obviously larger.

Moreover, even the crossbow machine that entered the camp first was only a single-shot machine, while this crossbow machine actually had a ten-shot machine.

Fortunately, there are only a dozen of them. If the eight hundred crossbows are arranged in order like the first one to the camp, at such a distance, the opponent can eat half of the army in one go.

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

Behind the sixteen strange crossbows were rows of crossbowmen. They were also firing arrows, intending to overturn the Lu army in front.

Of course Yan Liang knew that he was buying time for the sixteen crossbows to load arrows.

The appearance of Yuan Rongnu certainly shocked Yan Liang, but the number was too small to destroy his confidence in an instant.

Yan Liang, who had always liked chewing hard bones, got on top. He didn't care about the fact that he was ambushed. He only knew that once he got close to him, those crossbowmen and strange crossbow machines would lose their effect.

While wielding his golden-backed sword to knock down arrows, he shouted and led the soldiers to charge forward.

At this time, the general's prestige can play a vital role.

His prestige in Anfeng was not gained by teaming up with Wen Chou to defeat Guan Yu, but was accumulated when he followed Zhang Liao in his second battle with Cao Cao.

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

very good!

The reloading speed is much slower than that of entering the camp first!

After all, it is a ten-shot arrow, so the disadvantages are naturally obvious.

In fact, the accuracy of Yuanrong's crossbows is also very problematic. The heavy crossbows in Xiandengying were abandoned because of accuracy issues.

However, there are so many people on the opposite side that you can't stand it. It's a typical fire coverage style where you can shoot blindly without missing a target.

Moreover, when sixteen crossbows fire together, the power is indeed amazing.

In the first round of arrows alone, 160 arrows shot down more than 80 riders.

Coupled with the crossbowmen behind him, Lu Jun lost more than 300 horses at the first encounter.

Fifty steps away, less than twenty steps away, the second round of Yuanrong's crossbow rained down again. Yan Liang tried his best to block the oncoming arrows. The shock from the blade could clearly feel the penetrating power of the arrows. powerful.

Beside him, another group of people fell on their backs.

Moreover, Liu Jun's Yuanrong crossbows and crossbowmen cooperated really well. It would be an exaggeration to say that there was no gap. However, the distance of fifty steps caused Lu Jun's cavalry to lose nearly a thousand people.

The crossbow arrows that passed over the cavalry also hit the infantry, causing serious casualties.

Seeing that the distance was enough, Yan Liang was even ready to pull the reins and let the horse take off, rush into the battle circle and kill everyone.

"Light the fire!" Wei Yan's cold eyes were expressionless.

As soon as the sound fell, the sergeant beside him threw the torch forward. Three steps away, the fire quickly spread into a fire dragon, blocking Liu Jun and Lu Jun.

The tall tongues of fire suddenly shot up, and the animals' natural fear of fire caused the war horses to raise their feet in order to stop.

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

After the crackling sound of pinging bells, torches were constantly thrown over to ignite the tung oil on the ground.

The sudden change caused Yan Liang to almost fall off his horse. He finally managed to stabilize his body. He heard the roar of the wind, and the soldiers and horses behind him were shot over one by one. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

This is completely different from what you imagined!

Originally, he had thought that if he didn't come during the day and attacked at night, Liu Jun would definitely be ambushed to a certain extent. But judging from the current situation between the enemy and ourselves, his strong attack should be a crushing one.

God knows where these guys got these strange crossbow machines, and the way they used this style of play was actually better than the North Kingdom's first camp in the past.

"Withdraw!" Yan Liang was very unwilling.

He also wanted to withdraw from this range and attack from the flank.

The problem is that the previous attack and the interruption of the fire line have already destroyed more than half of his cavalry. Even the overall strength has been reduced by a quarter.

He was convinced that Liu Jun had made sufficient preparations, and the morale of the army was turbulent. Even if he wanted to attack, he could go back and join Wen Chou first.
