New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 30: Si Wen Cao (4)

The formation of the left curve is very strange. The outermost layer is a two-layer rebel, and behind it is a square car array. On each side are four two-wheeled carts, and the side facing the outside has a half-person-height guard plate. , The protective panel is covered with leather, with an opening in the middle. Behind it is a phalanx formed by a layer of swordsman and shield soldiers, behind the phalanx are horses, and in the middle is the phalanx.

With a wave of He Min's right hand, the soldiers behind him sent a flag, and more than 400 cavalry surrounded the Zuo Qu Tuan from all sides and began a tentative attack. The cavalry kept in a circular formation, approached the army formation from 400 steps away, and then circled the army formation, preparing to approach the army formation and shoot with crossbows.

Boom boom boom, there was a drum in the left curve formation, the cart made a loud noise, dozens of seven-foot-long giant arrows crossed the heads of the Beijing cavalry and nailed to the grass, the arrow feathers were still shaking violently. "Bed crossbow firing! Eight fifty-six arrows, shooting semi-close formations, unprepared, it was judged that 60 people were killed in the Beijing army and 30 people were seriously injured." Outside the formation, Fa Cao began to report the damage.

He Min was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Mingjin and retreat!" Clang, the gong sounded, and the remaining eight crossbows made a loud noise. Fa Cao began to report the battle damage again: "Bed crossbows fired! Eight fifty-six arrows, scattered formations, with or without precautions, judged that 30 people were killed in the Beijing army and 10 people were seriously injured." It was just a tentative attack, two hundred people. After being overwhelmed for the most part, He Min's eyes started to burst into flames. "What kind of crossbow? How can there be so many casualties? How did you judge?" He Min's anger finally found a place to vent. Fa Cao was Si Wen Cao's little boss, and he always had his eyes above the top. How could a military prince of the Beijing army put it in his eyes, and he said nothing at that time. "Please look at the army! This kind of bed crossbow has a range of six hundred steps, and can shoot seven arrows at the same time. It can penetrate two layers of iron armor after six hundred steps. Look at the one on the ground, three feet into the ground." He Min shocked.

As expected of a professional background, He Min still thought of a countermeasure. "Take the big shield, one hundred people dismount, fifty people hold their shields forward, fifty crossbowmen shoot behind the big shield. The others find a gap to break into the enemy's formation!" In an instant, the Beijing army split into three operations. Huang Chong, who was watching the battle on the top of the mountain, nodded frequently. "He Min still has some abilities, so he thought of countermeasures so quickly. The biggest flaw of this car array is the inconvenience of movement. If there is no post-recruitment, it will be a loss." "Neither!" It was Ma Han. "This car uses a two-wheeled light car. The wheels are wrapped with several layers of leather, and the muscles and bones will not fall apart when you sit on it. The thickness of the guard plate is only two inches, and the crossbow is fixed on the car, which is much lighter than the heavy car. As long as it's not heavy rain, it's as fast as the wind."

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. After losing more than a dozen shield players, the infantry of the Beijing army finally approached within a hundred steps of the Zuoqu army formation. The crossbowmen began to release arrows, and the left bow began to appear battle damage. The cavalry of the Beijing army finally rushed into the phalanx from the blind corner of the phalanx. Wang Jin's face finally turned from white to red, and his clenched hands were finally released.

Boom boom boom, Gao Shun shouted, and the drums of war sounded. A team of infantrymen rushed out from each chariot and rushed straight into the cavalry that came in. At the front are three sword players. The left hand rattan card and the right hand circle the first knife. The card firmly protects the companion behind him. He even brought two spearmen under the cover of the shield hand to pierce the front and left and right ribs of the cavalry with their spears. , Followed by two crossbowmen and two archers, the crossbowmen shot the archers close-range. More than a dozen teams released arrows at the same time, and a rain of arrows flew up in the air. Unprepared, more than a dozen cavalrymen were picked off their horses, and more than 20 people were hit with arrows and thumped. The cavalry of the Beijing army fell down like dumplings. At this time, three swordsmen rushed forward and used their swords to force the cavalry who fell to the ground. "Dead in battle!" "Captured!" Fa Cao kept making judgments. The ten-man squad quickly rushed to the next cavalry under the command of Shi Long.

"Yes! This is a combined attack." Cao Yong looked dazzled. The original dynasty has always been divided into arms. This kind of mixing of arms will never happen. Knife players are the main defense. The huge rattan plate with iron and leather lining is very light, but it can effectively protect the entire team. After the enemy falls to the ground, it can also make up the knife by the way. Lancers are protected by swordsmen and can concentrate on attacking without any distractions. Crossbowmen have a long range but slow firing speed, and archers have a fast firing speed and a short range. When the two are combined, both distance and speed are taken into account. A ten-man squad, four arms, can play such a big role, absolutely!

Cao Yong turned around. "Hou Cheng, from which famous general did this joint attack come from?" "Master Cao, Lu Junhou thought of it a few days ago. Gao Shun led the soldiers to train and only practiced for five days." "Five days! Can it be so coordinated? "Cao Yong was very surprised. "Master Cao, Zuo Qu has always been like this. Lu Junhou wanted ideas and Gao Shun implemented them. After a long time, it will naturally be like an arm's finger. If you want to be round or round or flat, then flat." "Oh!" Cao Yong understood. This Lu Fengxian is not only brave, but also very clever.

Seeing that his soldiers were declining rapidly, He Min had to order the retreat, and only one hundred and eight men remained. He Min was angry and threw the helmet to the ground. "These conspiracies and tricks are all villains! Why don't you dare to fight righteously with my Beijing army! I am not convinced!" Fa Cao glanced at He Min with pity, but his face was calm. "Tuner Lu knew that Wang Junhou would react like this for a long time, and he was only able to say that he would send fifty infantry to fight your remaining cavalry. This battle actually determines the outcome of the drill!"

He Min's heart was bleeding, and he wanted to arrogantly refuse, but the face of Coban's background did not allow him to do so. He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. He knew clearly that if he lost again, he would become the laughingstock of Wuyuan County and even Bingzhou as a whole. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people! He seemed to hear the ridicule of Wuyuan officialdom, but what if he won? He dared not think about it anymore.

When the news reached the ears of the big man under the pergola, Cao Yong's mouth showed a sneer, Wang Jin frowned, Ma Han's face was expressionless, but Huang Chong mumbled, his voice was too small to hear clearly. Later, three versions came out. The first version is: Oh, is it? The second version is: Humph! , Version three is: shameless! According to the gossip, version one was made by Huang Changshi's people later, and version three was the real reaction. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. This public case has to be left to historians for verification.

The final battle lasted only about two sticks of incense. Gao Shun personally commanded fifty trapped teams to form three rows, everyone wearing iron armor and holding wooden sticks, resisting the desperate counterattack of the Beijing army. This was a head-to-head battle. At that time, the Beijing army was convicted of seventy-eight people killed in action, all of whom were killed by iron rods. Eighteen people were killed in the battle and six people were seriously injured. "The armor protection is too weak! The weapon is not sharp enough to kill the enemy in an instant." Gao Shun sighed.

Cao Yong nodded frequently, drinking wine glass after glass. Before the results were counted, Cao Yong dragged Lu Bu and Wuyuan County's troika into the military account that had just been set up.

Cao Yong's mood is a bit complicated, some excited, some passionate, some relieved, and a little uneasy. This army is the army he wants, and it must be able to complete the task! However, this army has always been rebellious. Can his own bargaining chips impress Lu Bu? No problem, Cao Yong comforted himself, first showed his sincerity, and the remaining are the provincial governor and the Wuyuan prefect! A military prince is too small for me to reach, the governor and the prefect are just right, and I, Cao Yong, crooked his mouth, enough for you to feel uncomfortable for three years!

Cao Yong explained the mission in detail, and then looked at Lv Bu drunkly. "Fengxian, I can see that you are a refreshing person, and our old Cao is also a refreshing person. I will show you the bottom line first. You can see if it is enough for you to run this trip. If you are not enough, just say it straight, three The adults are here, we try our best to meet your requirements." Cao Yong stretched out three fingers: "This mission is a lifetime of nine deaths, and your majesty has a purpose and must be completed. It stands to reason that I can directly recruit your troops without giving you a penny! But our old Cao pays attention to people, we can’t kill or bury it! Listen carefully, I can give you three benefits! First, after the task is completed, I will tell your majesty, promote your official, and where you can be promoted. The level depends on how well the task is completed. This way you no longer have to pay for the money." Cao Yong smiled, and his eyes swept over the three adults. "As for whether your black households can solve some more arrangements, you have to ask the three adults. According to Cao's opinion, this task is too difficult. It is absolutely impossible to complete without a thousand cavalry. As for the number of heavy troops. Look at the meaning of Wuyuan County. The three adults have always been loyal to the country, and they will definitely handle this matter properly."

After hearing these words, the three adults felt slanderous in their hearts. You have already decided on the preparation, can we say that we disagree? To disagree is to oppose the court and Siwen Cao Zuo. Who can afford to wear this big hat? It seems that Wuyuan County is going to give a good blood. Despite their dissatisfaction, the three of them answered in unison: "Follow Cao Shilang's orders!"

Cao Yong paused: "Second, five hundred catties of gold. At this time, you will be given a pension to the war dead. If you are lucky, you will have very few casualties. Even if you earn it. The third, one hundred Xiliang horses, are all in Shanglin Garden. The horses are hard to buy in the market. Your Majesty promised them personally at this time. They will be delivered here tomorrow noon. Think about what you have to ask for and just say it!"

Lu Bu was lost in thought. To be honest, these three conditions of Cao Yong hit his seven inches one by one, making him unable to refuse. What he lacks now is the official position, money, and treasures used to make friends with the powerful. The Xiliang horse, which is hard to find, meets his greatest needs just right.

Unable to refuse, Lu Bu came to a conclusion. Being a human being for two lives made him truly understand human nature. His psychology and behavior have undergone tremendous changes. Reality, reason, smoothness, and cold blood have penetrated into his soul. Since it is impossible to refuse, then strive for the best interests.
