Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 243: unmoving

The matter of Lu Lingqi's misunderstanding into the anti-thief camp is put aside for the time being. As Yuan Shao's words spread all over the Kyushu, the princes who have been brewing for a long time also began to forge ahead for their own goals.

The first to do it were Jiangdong and Jingzhou, the two men who were the first to prepare.

Although many stumblings are inevitable, there is always a common interest for the time being. When Yuan Shao's words were spread all over the world, Liu Biao had already vacated Jiang Xia to Sun Ce, and he also selectively released part of the guards of the Han River, so that the Jiangdong Navy could have no trouble. pass.

Hanshui is like the lifeline of the army, allowing Jiangdong to easily send supplies to the front line through Hanshui. At the beginning of the seventh year of Xingping, Liu Biao, with Liu Pan as the main general, Wen Ping and Liu Hu as the subordinate generals, led a 40,000-strong army across the river to join Sun Ce at Lulin Mountain.

For this crusade against Nanyang, Sun Ce made a lot of money and brought an army of 50,000 people, almost all the troops that Sun Ce could mobilize without the defenders.

Compared with Liu Biao, Sun Ce has a stronger enterprising spirit and dares to gamble. After all, he is still young.

A total of 90,000 troops from both sides joined forces and marched in the direction of Xinye with great momentum.

When Gao Shun got the news, he had just arrived in Xinye.

"One hundred thousand troops?" Hearing that the two coalition forces numbered nearly one hundred thousand, the magistrate of Xinye could not sit still, and the Nanyang defenders added up to no more than sixty thousand, and they were still divided into various places. Gao Shun brought them here. There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, how to fight against a 100,000 army?

Gao Shun silently looked at the map without speaking.

"General, the small town of Xinye, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the 100,000 army!" Seeing that Gao Shun did not speak, the magistrate of Xinye couldn't help but persuade him, "Why don't we withdraw first?"

Gao Shun shook his head, pointed at the map and said, "Xinye must be defended. If Xinye can't defend, the whole of Nanyang will be safe from danger."

Xinye is the intersection of Jingzhou and Nanyang. Whoever owns it is the door of whose house. If Xinye loses, then after that, the army of 100,000 people will be scattered, and it will be even more difficult to defend. Affecting the defense line around Zhongyang Mountain.

"But the enemy has 100,000 troops, how can our army be stationed?" Xin Yeling sighed bitterly.

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong have always been at odds. Although the momentum is huge, they must not be of the same mind." Gao Shun explained casually while looking at the map.

The number of troops is only one factor that determines the outcome of a war. It would be too one-sided to determine the outcome of a war just because of this. There must be problems within the coalition.

As for what the problem was, Gao Shun couldn't see it for the time being.

"Even if they can't be of the same mind, it's still a crowd of 100,000 people." Xinye Ling looked at Gao Shun speechlessly, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Gao Shun raised his eyes to look at him, his indifferent eyes made Xinye Ling speak what he said. Had to swallow it back.

"How does it compare to Yuan Shu's army of 300,000 people?" Gao Shun glanced at him indifferently, then continued to look at the map.

"Report~" While Gao Shun was looking at the map, a general came in and bowed to Gao Shun: "General, the vanguard of the bandit army has reached ten miles outside the city, and there are about ten thousand people!"

"Let 5,000 elite troops go into battle!" Gao Shun nodded, not ready to defend, the two armies were fighting, if they just stood firm at the beginning, it was almost a recognition of the enemy's strength and weakness in action.

Once this kind of mentality exists, it will plant a shadow of inevitable defeat in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Here!" The general agreed and turned to leave.

"General, there are 10,000 thieves, and our army only has 5,000. I'm afraid..." Xin Yeling couldn't help but want to persuade.

"If you know more soldiers than me, you can bring them here. If you don't know, you can do your own thing with peace of mind!" Gao Shun turned his head and glanced at him with a frown.

"Hey~" The magistrate could only bow and say yes.

After Gao Shun arranged the Xinye defense, 5,000 elite soldiers had already been dispatched to form a formation in Xinye City.

In the Jiangdong Army, Taishi Ci looked at Gao Shun's flag from a distance, and did not want the enemy to dare to go out of the city to fight under such circumstances. Naturally, he could see the opponent's intention.

"Array!" As the top general under Sun Ce's tent, Taishi Ci naturally wouldn't be frightened by the other party, so he ordered the soldiers to form an array, and he rode out on his own.

Under the puzzled gazes of the soldiers of the two armies, Taishi Ci suddenly rushed out with his flying horse diagonally and shot three arrows in a row, each of which could shoot down one of the enemy's military flags. But was forced back by a burst of riding shots.

But Rao is like this, and it also made Jiangdong's vanguard army morale.

However, the Nanyang Army did not waver.

Unlike most armies, after Gao Shun guarded Nanyang, it was almost normal to train troops. Because it was an enclave, Lu Bu's support for Nanyang during the non-war period was the greatest among the armies.

Not to mention the Western Regions, the garrison in Luoyang is not as strong as that in Nanyang, and it is also the priority supply place for various new equipment, and the concept of Gao Shunzhi's army is to decentralize.

Under Lü Bu, many generals are self-centered, including the top generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. As long as they are there, their morale can be doubled, and their combat methods are also centered on them.

On the other hand, Gao Shun is completely different from everyone else. He does not advocate individual bravery, but overall cooperation. The army is a single person who cooperates closely but performs their own duties. Or the flag has fallen and must be raised as soon as possible, not because it affects morale, but because it confuses the command.

So when the morale of the generals in Jiangdong was shaken, what they saw was that Gao Shun's side quickly changed a few flags. Other than that, there was no change.

Taishi Ci was also aware of this. His pre-emptive action failed to achieve the desired effect. His expression gradually became solemn. Facing this Nanyang Army, four words appeared in his mind involuntarily—moving like a mountain!

This is the feeling of this army, Ning Li does not move, five thousand people seem like one person, this is the first time he has encountered such an opponent on the battlefield.

Since the first move is ineffective, it can only move the real thing.

Aware that the enemy was not easy to deal with, Taishi Ci adjusted the formation and ordered the two-winged troops to advance from both sides to cooperate with the Chinese army to surround the opponent. At this time, the enemy army had only two choices, retreat or advance.

To retreat is to avoid being surrounded, and to advance is to seek a decisive battle with the Chinese army. However, retreating may cause chaos, and advancing will lead to encirclement. No matter which way the opponent chooses to defend against the enemy, Taishi Ci has already thought of the countermeasures.

But the other party gave the third option... don't move!

But seeing Gao Shun quickly waving the command flag, the five thousand Nanyang troops quickly formed a circular formation, with wooden shields much larger than normal round shields standing in front of them, followed by spears sandwiched between the shields. , like a round barbed ring.

Further in is the bowman.

The opponent's choice was second in line. What really made Taishi Ci uncomfortable was how quickly the opponent changed formations. At the same time, there was no confusion in the formation of such a rapid formation. This kind of control over the army was astounding!

"The archers come in!" Faced with this kind of army, Taishi Ci did not dare to rush to kill him, he wanted to test it with the archers first!

The Jiangdong Army in the front row quickly retreated, and the archers in the back row quickly rushed forward and fired arrows at the inside of the circle.

"Don't fight back, raise your shield to defend against the enemy!" Gao Shun calmly ordered as he watched the enemy formation.

In an instant, a large area of ​​round shields, which were much smaller than the outer ones, was raised up to face the overwhelming rain of arrows. Some people fell from time to time. Except for the occasional muffled sound, no other sound could be heard.

Taishi Ci is still very confident in his own bows and arrows. Jiangdong's army mainly focuses on water warfare, not to mention other abilities, but this archery and the quality of the bow and crossbow are definitely the best in the world. , Taishi Ci was finally relieved.

Immediately order the auxiliary troops on both sides to cooperate with the main force of the Chinese army to attack this circular formation.

Taishi Ci wanted to pry open the turtle shell.

The army quickly attacked Gao Shun's circular formation under the cover of bows and arrows. Seeing that the enemy was getting closer, Gao Shun suddenly waved a red command flag. Withdrew, revealing a ferocious crossbow machine behind.

This kind of crossbow machine is different from the ordinary crossbow machine. The volume is larger. The bow arm alone is six feet wide.

"put!"

Not waiting for Jiangdong Army to react too much, as the commanding general gave an order~www.NovelMTL.com~, but listening to the sound of Weng's cries, the crossbow arrows that broke through the air mercilessly submerged into the crowd. The power of the crossbow arrows was amazing, especially At this distance, even if the shield hand holding the round shield is shot, it can be directly shot through by the crossbow arrow and the shield.

The most terrifying thing is that these crossbows are not finished with one arrow, they can shoot three arrows one after another. Filled with blood.

Although Jiang Dongjun thought that the enemy would counterattack and was prepared, but the enemy's counterattack was more ruthless than everyone expected.

At this moment, Jiangdong Army can no longer think about these problems. This round of crossbow arrows has hit morale too much. Many Jiangdong soldiers have already begun to flee, and this kind of behavior is spreading rapidly around, and it can't be stopped. kind.

Gao Shun obviously wouldn't let this opportunity go. The crossbowmen in the rear rushed out with a repeating crossbow and shot a crossbow box at the Jiangdong army. The Jiangdong army had completely fled, and Taishi Ci rushed out several times to try to kill him. I will capture the flag and turn the tide, but I can't figure out which direction the enemy's commander is in.

After seeing Lu Bu's plan of beheading, Gao Shun set up three general flags of the same style and different colors. Only his own people knew what color it was. From the point of view of others, they were all the general's flags.

Although Taishi Ci was highly skilled in martial arts, he couldn't hold back the general trend. After fighting for a while, he retreated with the defeated army.

Gao Shun didn't pursue him much, and after chasing him for ten miles, he ordered the army to withdraw.

This is just the vanguard, the real battle is behind!
