Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 271: encounter

Because it is close to the war zone, from the Yique Pass in the south, around the Songshan Mountain to the Hulao Pass, one can clearly feel an unspeakable desolation.

This is not because of this battle. In fact, since Lu Bu re-occupied Luoyang and stationed his troops here, a large population of people east of Hulao and west of Yique Pass have been absorbed into the land of Heluo.

Those who didn't want to come in, they stayed away one after another. Even Shengdou Xiaomin knew that sooner or later there would be a big battle here.

Now, looking at this area, and even the area around Yingchuan, it is far more desolate than when the princes were seeking Dong.

"Brother, that Yuan Benchu ​​clearly underestimated me and the others. We came to flee for thousands of miles, and we didn't even want to give us food and grass, so we were asked to fight Yique Pass alone. How easy is it to beat Yique Pass? I heard that from there After Lu Bu regained Luoyang, he strengthened both Yique and Hulao several times. Now that Yuan Shao was about to cross the river in winter, he asked us to fight Yique Pass. We were unwilling to give food and grass. In my opinion, we directly Forget the withdrawal!" In the Meishan area, Liu Bei and his party who had left Yuan Shao's camp were preparing to go to Yique Pass, but Zhang Fei was full of complaints.

The reason is to put it bluntly. Yuan Shao did not want to support Liu Bei's army. Although 20,000 people were not many, they were not his own. Why should he bring food and grass to them?

As for letting Liu Bei come to Yique Pass, it wasn't that Yuan Shao really wanted to embarrass Liu Bei. According to Yuan Shao's plan, crossing the river in winter was indeed an important part, but Yique Pass and Hulao Pass were also to be fought. Yuan Shao not only had to deal with these two Guan, who also attacked Bingzhou, Taihang Baxing was harassed by Heishan thieves. Now Zhang Yan is mostly going to Lu Bu. It is difficult to get past Taihang, so Yuan Shao can only find a way from Yanmen. .

Therefore, the main force of Yuan Shao's attack this time was Gao Gan who passed through Yanmen. Gao Lan was responsible for attacking Jiguan Pass. Yuan Shao led the main force to station troops in Hanoi. .

Liu Bei was only in charge of Yique Pass, and everyone cooperated with each other, not even asking you to attack, as long as you could contain the troops of Yique Pass, but to Liu Bei's side, it was obvious that Yuan Shao had made them pawns.

This is also the disadvantage of the alliance. It is difficult to convince each other. Even if Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, his power is far greater than Liu Bei and the others.

"Yide Xiu wants to talk nonsense, this time we are here to save Your Majesty, what is the difference between each other?" Liu Bei knew that his brother was holding an injustice for himself, but it was really unnecessary. Chen Gong had already sent Yuan Shao this time. The attacking intentions of Yuan Shao were analyzed very thoroughly. Compared with the princes who asked Dong Dong back then, now Yuan Shao is more than twice as strong in terms of strength and coping strategies as he was then?

"Brother." Zhang Fei came to Liu Bei's side, frowning and said, "I don't know why, I always feel that I am a little hasty in waiting for this time to deploy troops. Do you think that if Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, or Cao Cao attacked, Yuan Long might defend Xuzhou? "

Zhang Fei was even a little worried about whether they would be able to return to Xuzhou?

After all, there is a large area of ​​Cao Cao's territory in the middle. Whether he can go back safely depends on Cao Cao's happiness. This kind of thing really makes people feel very insecure.

Liu Bei frowned and glanced at Zhang Fei, just as he was about to say something, when the army suddenly stopped, the two quickly looked at him, but saw Guan Yu in front of him holding up his long sword, signaling the army to stop advancing.

"Chang Yun, why did you suddenly stop the army?" Liu Bei and Zhang Fei came forward, looking at Guan Yu suspiciously and asked.

Guan Yu pointed to the front, frowned and said, "Brother, look over there!"

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei followed their words and saw that there was nothing wrong. Just as they were about to say something, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped.

As far as they can see, where the sky and the earth meet, like the end of the wilderness, there seems to be a black line squirming, and the billowing smoke and dust look at their current position, as if the black line has become blurred.

"Prepare for war!" Liu Bei's expression became solemn. After all these years of wars in the south and north, although most of them were small victories, and they were almost never won in big battles, they also accumulated rich combat experience for Liu Bei. The scene of the march.

I don't know who the enemy army is, but from this direction, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and even Lü Bu's army are all possible.

"It's the cavalry!" After Guan Yu felt it for a while, his expression became even more solemn.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had cavalry, they were not many. At this moment, as each other approached, it was no longer a line, and they could see the galloping knights and the tremors from the ground.

A cavalry of this size, this kind of momentum, is definitely not something that Yuan Shu and Cao Cao can bring out. There is only one person in the world who can have such a spirited cavalry.

Guan Yu's face was sinking like water, and he shouted, "Circle formation!"

This is the second confrontation between the three of them and Lu Bu's army. No matter how powerful the opponent is, they can't lose their momentum. After all these years of fighting, they also have a team that can fight. It wasn't long ago that they could only rely on Gongsun Zan. The young general, even if they were facing Lu Bu, they would not have the slightest fear.

Under Guan Yu's command, the army quickly gathered, formed a circular formation, and waited in full force. As long as the opponent dared to attack his own army, he would definitely let the opponent drop a few teeth.

On the other side, Lu Bu's scouts also discovered this group of men. Ma Chao looked at Lu Bu eagerly and said, "My lord, should I change to heavy armor?"

Ever since he knew that the Flying Cavalry Army had such a fighting method as heavy armor, Ma Chao had always wanted to try it out. Now that an enemy army appeared, he naturally wanted to see the power of heavy armor!

"Heavy armor cannot be used unless it is a last resort." Lu Bu shook his head. Although heavy armor was ferocious, there would definitely be casualties if he rushed directly into the formation. Unless it was necessary, Lu Bu did not want the flying cavalry army to use heavy armor to charge into the formation.

As for the army in front of him, it was not difficult for Lu Bu to deal with, and he didn't even want to deal with it.

"The three of us will lead 2,000 soldiers each, walk around the formation, and shoot long-range with a continuous crossbow! After shooting a crossbow box, we will withdraw immediately, and we must not fight!" Lu Bu watched the enemy formation, and let Wei Yan, Ma Chao and himself lead each. The first army is to break the enemy with crossbow arrows.

It’s hard to say about cavalry shooting. No matter how the Han people are trained, they can’t compare to the Huns and Xianbei people, but if the bow is replaced by a crossbow, then it will be another matter. The flying cavalry army has tried shooting before, but the opponents are not good. Influential characters can't show their means. Now that they meet the enemy, it's time for the world to see what the effect of cavalry with a repeating crossbow will be.

"Here!" Ma Chao and Wei Yan agreed, waving their flags respectively, the flying cavalry army quickly divided into three groups, and then began to accelerate slowly.

The muffled hooves sounded from far to near. When Guan Yu saw that the enemy was attacking, he immediately raised his hand. As long as the enemy approached, he immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows to kill the thieves.

But the next moment, the oncoming attack was not the enemy's attack, but the overwhelming crossbow arrows.

The cavalry of the Flying Cavalry Army passed by the Xuzhou Army's army line, and the continuous crossbow arrows fell, and many wooden shields in the front row were directly shot through. The next soldier.

The shield of the Xuzhou army is not like the large shield made by the Guanzhong army, but a round shield half a person high. Unless people are curled up into a ball, they cannot fully protect them.

Wei Yan, who came first, walked around the formation. The crossbow arrows in the hands of the cavalrymen shot out the crossbow arrows one by one until the crossbow box was emptied, then slowed down and let the other crossbowmen shoot in the front row.

The first cavalry left in two circles. Many Xuzhou troops had already fallen to the ground. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the second cavalry had already arrived. They were also crossbow arrows. , from time to time, the shield will be shot through. The Xuzhou army faced the attack of the flying cavalry army and did not even have a chance to fight back. The archers in the array had just launched the protection of the shield, and before they could release the arrows, they immediately faced the crossbow arrows.

Occasionally, the arrows that were shot landed on people and were bounced off by the leather armor, causing no damage at all.

Ma Chao led the second group of soldiers and horses to circle the formation twice. Seeing that the opponent's circle formation was already riddled with holes, as long as a charge was needed, it might collapse directly, but in the end, he suppressed the impulse. Go with the army.

Ma Chao's departure did not allow Liu Bei and others to breathe a sigh of relief, because Lu Bu had already led the army to kill, and the arrows were still overwhelming, but after the Xuzhou army experienced the indiscriminate bombardment by Ma Chao and Wei Yan, the circle formation was already riddled with rubble. Kong, facing Lu Bu's crossbow arrows, the casualties suddenly intensified, and the Xuzhou army was harvested like mowing grass.

At this moment, morale finally collapsed completely~www.NovelMTL.com~ Some people began to give up and retreat quickly. This retreat did not matter, but it brought a chain reaction. A large number of soldiers began to retreat, trying to avoid these demonic forces. cavalry.

Even though many people know that it is slower to stick to death than to escape, but when morale collapses, instinct will replace rationality, and that fluke will think that they may survive.

In short, the Xuzhou Army, which had gone through two rounds of baptism, finally collapsed completely in front of Lu Bu's last round.

Liu Bei watched in pain as his soldiers were being reaped by the enemy like weeds but could not do anything. He drew his swords and wanted to fight the enemy, but was stopped by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei desperately, dragged Chen Gong and ran away.

"Back to Meishan!" Chen Gong shouted to Guan Yu in his busy schedule.

Guan Yu understood and took the lead to protect Liu Bei from retreating towards Meishan. As long as he entered the mountain forest, the opponent would not be able to catch up if he wanted to pursue. It was not that the cavalry could not enter the mountain, but it was difficult to form a cavalry formation after entering the mountain. The terrain makes it difficult for the cavalry to fight in groups, and the cavalry alone can easily be counter-killed.

Even if the opponent really catches up, there are many places to hide in the mountain.

Lu Bu did not deliberately pursue and kill the enemy's main general. Now, in front of him, the main general is no different from a small soldier. After the enemy's defeat, he went back and forth with Ma Chao and Wei Yan, and the Xuzhou army was completely defeated. Down, only a few people retreated into Meishan.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Bu to follow him into the mountains for the sake of so few people, and let those soldiers clean up the battlefield. The main thing was to collect the crossbow arrows that could be used, and then play these soldiers to get out of the way...
