Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 168 Under the City

In the Battle of Bowang, Lu Bu used 5,000 cavalry to defeat 30,000. It would be considered a great victory for any general in the world, but when it was compared to Lu Bu, it looked a bit bleak.

Also, compared with Hulao Pass, which deters the heroes, and the northwest town of Qianghu and Pingmahan, the loss of 5,000 to 30,000 in Bowangpo seems a bit ordinary this time.

Of course, if the entire occupation is connected in series, from the ambush at Dafu Mountain to the defeat of the enemy at Zhongyang Mountain to the battle of Bowangpo, Yuan Shu's five-pronged army was defeated three times by Lu Bu in less than half a month. Road, and Lu Bu had 20,000 troops when he went out. When he came back, the number of troops was counted, and the loss was only 20%. Looking at it this way, even if Lu Bu's performance was not as good as Hulao Pass in shocking the heroes, it was enough to pacify the Northwest Qiang with him. It's all nonsense.

Of course, this battle is just the beginning, and the end seems far away.

On the bank of the Feishui River, watching the rolling river water slipping southward, the bodies on the river either sank to the bottom or flowed away. Lu Bu sat by the river, carefully wiping his Fangtian Painted Halberd. Red Rabbit was beside him, quietly Accompanying his master.

"Lord, the enemy troops have been cleared. A few people have swam across the other side and cannot be pursued." The general responsible for cleaning up the battlefield came to Lu Bu and reported the battle situation to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu faced the setting sun and blocked Fang Tian's painted halberd from the sun. The halo penetrated the edge of Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the light emitted was tinged with blood.

"Get ready to cross the river!" Lu Bu nodded and emptied the water. It was okay to take a detour back to Niyang, but Lu Bu wanted to visit Wancheng. He had just defeated Yuan Shu completely, so not showing off would be disrespectful to his opponent. .

"Here!"

The deputy general agreed and turned around to prepare for crossing the river.

The Bowang Slope behind him was still burning, and the fire only started to get bigger at this time. It illuminated half of the sky red, and from a distance, it seemed that that side was the direction where the sun was setting.

The army set up a pontoon bridge and began to cross the river. Lu Bu took one last look at the burning Bowang Slope and stepped onto the pontoon bridge. Under the setting sun, a cloak fluttered in the wind, and his blood-like eyes seemed to coincide with the burning fire behind him...

Ji Ling rectified his troops and waited for all the troops to gather and attack Niyang. However, only Liu Xun's troops were intact. In addition, when Qiao Rui returned with his remaining defeated troops, only Liu Xun's troops were left behind. There were more than ten thousand soldiers, but Lei Bo was even worse. Only a few dozen of them fled back in embarrassment.

Looking at Lei Bo's soulless look, Ji Ling fell into a long silence.

The 150,000-strong army came with great momentum. Before the war officially started, they broke into three groups. Now the total strength of all the troops was less than 90,000. In just half a month, Lu Bu directly killed as many as 60,000.

The morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies is even lower. Can this battle still be fought?

Before coming, Ji Ling was confident enough. No matter how powerful Lu Bu was, he could only fail when faced with Jianghuai's 200,000-strong army. However, now, looking at the army with low morale, Ji Ling's heart felt... Confidence was shaken.

"Lord, the morale of the lieutenant generals is low now, and it may not be suitable to go to war. Do you want to... postpone the war?" Ji Ling found Yuan Shu, who was watching a song and dance in the mansion, and bowed.

"The morale is low?" Yuan Shu looked at the dancing girl's moving figure and chuckled: "The general is serious. Three of the five armies were defeated by Lu Bu. Is it just that the morale is low?"

Even if Yuan Shu doesn't understand soldiers, he still knows what this means. If he had been beaten like this all the way, the army would have been defeated long ago!

"Do you know why I didn't see Lei Bo and Qiao Rui?" Yuan Shu stood up and looked at Ji Lingdao.

"I don't know the end of the general." Ji Ling bowed and said.

Yuan Shu looked at Ji Ling, suddenly kicked the table over, and roared: "I'm afraid I can't help but kill these two on the spot!"

Having said this, Yuan Shu paused, shook his head and said: "By the way, take Chen Lan with you and chop him down together!"

The 150,000-strong army was defeated by Lu Bu in three groups. If the remaining two groups had not come back in time, they might have been dealt with by others. Yuan Shu kept his sense and did not kill these three people. If he saw these three people now, Yuan Shu would I really want to send the three of them to the guillotine together!

I don’t know how such incompetent trash became a general!

Ji Ling didn't speak. He didn't know how to defend the three people for this result, and there were some words he couldn't say. In fact, apart from Chen Lan, Yuan Shu had to bear a huge responsibility for the defeat of Qiao Rui and Lei Bo.

After Lu Bu cut off the water and food route, if Yuan Shu hadn't urged him to hurry up and break away from the original deployment and rush to Wancheng first, even if Qiao Rui lost to Lu Bu, as long as the rescue was timely, the defeat would not have been so miserable.

After all, if Yuan Shu did not follow him in this battle, even if he suffered a small defeat, Lu Bu would not defeat three troops in a row. He should not be punished in the first place. But saying this to his face would only make Yuan Shu angry and angry. It has no remonstrance effect.

Ji Ling didn't say anything. Yuan Shu stood up and walked around twice and said, "Stop using troops and send someone to tell Lu Bu that as long as he is willing to withdraw his troops, I will return Ma Rixi and others to the court."

Ji Ling raised his head and looked at Yuan Shu: gone?

It's really gone. Obviously in Yuan Shu's understanding, his willingness to put Ma Rixi back was already showing weakness and submission, and Lu Bu should not push further.

"Here!" Ji Ling didn't say anything more, but he was already ready to organize his army and prepare for war. Yuan Shu's posture was like giving alms, but he didn't have the slightest awareness that he had lost the battle. Those who didn't know it thought it was Lu Bu who lost. .

With this attitude, if the envoy who went to Lu Bu came back alive, it would be regarded as Lu Bu's self-cultivation. Obviously, Yuan Shu didn't look down on Lu Bu at all, so he should continue to prepare for the war.

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!" After Ji Ling left, Yuan Shu looked at the bewildered dancer in the hall, knelt down again, and waved.

"Here~"

A group of dancers and musicians started to dance and play music again. Yuan Shu looked at this scene, but he still couldn't be happy in his heart. After being the fourth and third prince, he had half the country in his hands, but he wanted to make peace with Lu Bu, a warrior?

But the current situation made him feel that something was not good. The situation seemed to be out of his control and heading in a direction he did not want to see. He could only compromise for the time being and let Lu Bu retreat first, and then find a way to deal with Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu felt that it was very aggrieved and embarrassing for him to take the initiative to make peace with Lu Bu, but compared with this, the next thing Lu Bu did was to step on Yuan Shu's face and rub it repeatedly!

Ji Ling came back not long after he left.

"Is there anything else?" Yuan Shu looked at Ji Ling and asked with a frown.

"Lord, Lu Bu is here!" Ji Ling said to Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu is here?

Yuan Shu didn't think about it for a while, and subconsciously replied: "Where?"

"We are fighting outside the city!"

"How many people are you bringing!?" Yuan Shu was startled and stood up.

The dancers and musicians were still singing and dancing to add to the fun. Yuan Shu picked up something impatiently and threw it out: "Get out!"

A group of dancers and musicians were startled and quickly bowed to Yuan Shu and retreated.

Ji Ling bowed and said, "Looking at the scale, it's only about five thousand."

"Five thousand?" Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down on Lu Bu's background, but he had to recognize Lu Bu's ability. At this moment, he heard that Lu Bu only brought five thousand troops. He frowned and looked at Ji Ling and said, "Maybe we can try to capture him." Down?"

Lu Bu is the de facto master of Guanzhong. If Lu Bu can be captured, Guanzhong will be safe!

"Five thousand people are all cavalry. It is not difficult to retreat, but it is extremely difficult to defeat." Ji Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head. The land of Nanyang, except for a few large mountains around it and the Qinling Mountains to the west, is almost a flat plain. If you want to stop Lu Bu's cavalry, you can only use rivers and a large number of soldiers and horses to compress Lu Bu's range of activities to the extreme!

But it is obviously impossible in the Wancheng area. There is no such terrain, and Niyang is not far from here. Even if Lu Bu is defeated, he can retreat to Niyang to defend at any time.

"Just in time, I sent someone to inform Lu Bu that I would like to return Ma Rixi and other court envoys and ask him to get out of Nanyang as soon as possible!" Yuan Shu waved his hand.

Ji Ling had already guessed that Yuan Shu would say this, so he immediately agreed and left the matter alone.

Soon, the envoy sent by Yuan Shu came back with his ears cut off. As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Shu cried and complained that Lu Bu was cruel and rude. After explaining his purpose, he made himself like this.

"When the two countries are at war, I won't kill the envoy!" When Yuan Shu saw this, he was furious and shouted: "That Lu Bu is too arrogant. Who will come out of the city to capture that Lu Bu!?"

At this moment, the generals had received the news that Lu Bu had arrived outside the city, and they went straight to Yuan Shu's tent to assemble. After hearing this, they all fell silent.

The shadow of the famous human tree, Lu Bu has been powerful in the world in the past two years, and his men have been stained with the blood of many generals. How is going out to fight in the city at this time any different from seeking death?

"Lord, that Lu Bu shot and killed more than ten of our soldiers below the city, and even below the city... greetings to my lord's family!" Just as the generals were silent, a general rushed in and clasped his fist at Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu recalled in his mind the scene where Lu Bu shot arrows at the heroes at Hulao Pass. At that time, he was almost shot to death by Lu Bu's arrow. When he thought of that scene, he felt resentful and hesitant in his heart.

Go and see, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger, so don't go... A hundred thousand troops are here, but Lu Bu alone is so frightened that they dare not leave the city. If this spreads out, how will the world think of him? What qualifications does he have to express disdain for Lu Bu?

Life is naturally important, but sometimes for children of aristocratic families, reputation and face are more important than life!

"All the generals, follow me to the city! I want to see how arrogant Lu Bu is!?" In the end, face defeated fear, and Yuan Shu decided to go to the city to boost his morale, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if Lu Bu still had any tigers. Such grace when locked up.

"My lord, we are going to leave at the end of the day. Why bother, lord, to go in person?" Ji Ling couldn't help but persuade him. Lu Bu was famous for his marksmanship. What if Yuan Shu did anything good?

"If I, the fourth generation and the third prince, are frightened by a lowly man and dare not go to the city, how will everyone in the world think of me!?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, ignored Ji Ling, and walked straight out.

When Ji Ling saw this, he could only sigh secretly and lead everyone to follow...
