Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 997
"Your Majesty, the four generals Xu Huang, Yu Wen, Yuan Qing, and Zhang He are leading the army to cross the mountain road."

Guo Jia, who was still chewing food, just finished talking to Lu Bu, and then picked up the porridge and swallowed it.

Compared with the other scribes eating around, Guo Jia's wolfish and casual appearance is simply not at the same level.

Many soldiers watching this scene even secretly laughed at the casualness of their military adviser, but it was precisely because of this that they felt more cordial.

How can there be so much red tape in the military, eating is to fill the stomach, the sooner the better, after all, no one knows what will happen next.

Jia Xu ate slowly at the side, but the speed was not far behind Guo Jia.

Lu Bu, who was sitting on the chariot, had just finished drinking the porridge in the bowl, wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth lightly, and handed the bowl to the soldiers behind him, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Xu Shu, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, and Pang Tong followed the army. How do Feng Xiao, Wen and Ru feel?"

After hearing such words, Guo Jia showed a casual smile, while Jia Xu gently put down the bowl in his hand and thought for a moment before raising his head.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shu is aggressive, Sima Yi is steady, and Yang Xiuru is well-behaved, even if there is an ambush by the Shu army, he will not be easily ambushed. It is Pang Tong!"

When talking about Pang Tong, Jia Xu obviously hesitated, but Guo Jia laughed loudly and slapped his thigh and said: "Pang Tong is good at intrigue, either a big victory or a big defeat!"

In the army, Guo Jia was the only one who dared to bluntly say defeat in front of Lu Bu, but Lu Bu smiled dumbly when he heard about it.

In fact, there is still one thing the two of them didn't say, that is, the big defeat has nothing to do with them, because the soldiers of a hundred nations are the main force.

Jia Xu, who ate and wiped his mouth, sat casually on a rolling log, holding a topographic map in his palm, and carefully observed it.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei will never wait for our army to close the siege before breaking through."

Everyone knows this, and Lu Bu knows it even more, but no matter what, this is the best decision to break the new field.

"I don't know how long Liu Bei will stick to it?"

Lu Bu's words made Guo Jia and Jia Xu frown. Although they are well-known strategists in the world, and even the most brilliant, it is a bit difficult to say that they have exhaustive strategies and even when the enemy will retreat.

Regarding this, Lu Bu shook his head with a smile, "No matter when Liu Bei retreats, Xinye! Jingzhou will be lonely sooner or later!"

"Report~ Your Majesty, General Zhangling Gaoshun sent an urgent report!"

At this moment, a panting orderly trotted over, and even handed over the letter from Feiying with both hands.

After Lu Bu took it, he glanced over it, obviously it was an urgent report, but there was a smile on his face.

"Haha~ Liu Bian couldn't sit still anymore, and led the army to attack our army."

Lv Bu, who was smiling, held the emergency report in his palm and gestured to the generals and counselors around him. After hearing the words, all the generals laughed heartily.

"Haha~ It seems that Liu Bei's rescue letter has worked."

Although there was a relaxed smile on his face, Lu Bu still waved his hands slowly and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Quickly dispatch [-] troops from the army to help Gao Shun."

promise!
"Fei Ge passed on the letter to Gao Shun, the army could not retreat even a single step, and the lonely general Liu Bian was crucified to death in Zhangling."

promise!
Facing Xinye and their strong attack, they suffered a lot of casualties. Similarly, Zhang Ling's area changed offense and defense. Facing the defensive Gao Shun army, Liu Bian could only attack aggrievedly.

Not only to help Liu Bei reduce the pressure, but also to show Liu Bei. If the Shu army in Xinye was fighting fiercely again and again, instead of Liu Bian, where there is no leisure and no fighting, how will the coalition forces get along?

In Xinye City!

Wearing armor, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said in a deep voice, "Military Master, has the city been prepared?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have already made secret preparations last night, and our army can be mobilized as soon as it gets dark."

"The luggage in the arsenal and granary in the city has already been escorted to Xiangyang in batches."

After hearing this, Liu Bei's impatient heart finally got a little peace of mind. Relieved, Liu Bei rubbed his brows and sighed: "Did the military scouts meet Lu Jun?"

"Your Majesty, the scouts have come to report that the enemy army has been found in the left and right mountains. This time, the Lu army has divided into four groups, and each route has at least ten thousand troops. As long as everything goes well, our army will be able to hold the Lu army for three to five days."

That's good!That's good!
Liu Bei muttered to himself in a low voice that only he could hear. The retreat of the army is not something that two people can walk on the battlefield if they want to.

They need to make too many preparations, ranging from one soldier and one ration in the city to the large ones that have to set up ambushes and fortifications along the route when retreating, so as to prevent the enemy from chasing and forming a rout.

Zhang Ling!

Gao Shun led more than [-] troops to set up a big camp directly outside Zhangling City. It was built on the mountain and divided into five parts.

kill~
At this time, the crazy Wu soldiers outside the camp were pushing the ladders and archery towers one by one to attack, and the Lu Jun in the camp was also fighting back.

The densely packed catapults behind the camp were almost close to the tall camp, and the dense soldiers were carrying stones one by one sweating profusely.

Each stone is as big as a head, and every time the catapult is launched, about a dozen boulders are lifted into the air, which reduces the pressure on the catapult.

The gravel may have caused more casualties, but facing the attacking Wu army, each of them held their shields above their heads, and the gravel had no effect at all.

On the contrary, the moment the head-sized stone fell from a high altitude, the impact force was just right and inflicted painful casualties on Wu Jun.

buzz~
A stone the size of a head hit the shield in an instant, and there was a loud bang from the huge impact, and the arms couldn't bear it at all.

Even more Wu Jun's arms were dislocated and broken under the bombardment of head-sized boulders, and some couldn't bear the huge force, and blood spurted out of their mouths when the boulder hit their chests directly with their shields.

kill~
Standing on the third camp, Gao Shun looked at the tragic battlefield indifferently. Outside the camp, Wu Jun was attacking wildly.

"Huh~ Although Wu Jun's attack is crazy, it can't last for a few days. The soldiers of the three armies are ordered to resist desperately. Don't give Wu Jun a chance."

promise!
"The rear supervisory team strictly investigates, and anyone who disturbs the morale of the army and retreats before the battle will be executed!"

promise!
Compared with the endless vent of pride and blood on the Xinye battlefield, Zhang Ling's Lu Jun camp has a depressing and calm atmosphere.

Under Gao Shun's command, the more than [-] Lu troops were like machines, each and every one of them calmly obeyed the general's order, and there was almost no unnecessary nonsense.

On the battlefield in the distance, under the flag of Commander Wu Jun of Jiangdong, Yue Fei looked solemnly at the camp of Lu Jun opposite, and said with some emotion: "The iron-blooded general Gao Shun really deserves his reputation."

The morale of Gao Shun's Lu army is not the highest. Compared with the army led by Lu Bu, the morale is simply incomparable, but it has a tenacious confidence.

first day!Second day!Even today, the morale of the Lu army led by Gao Shun has not been affected at all, as if it was still the same as before.

Under normal circumstances, after a few days of fierce fighting, the morale of the soldiers will be affected due to mental exhaustion, but the army led by Gao Shun is unusual.

Every famous general has his own personality charm and means. It can be said that although there are many generals in the world, they can infect the three armies. The one who seems to be integrated with the commander can be called a contemporary famous general.

Gao Shun made it this far, and even infected the atmosphere of being trapped in the battle to the rest of the soldiers in the army. None of them showed a fighting spirit. They will not be defeated.Their king is watching them from the rear all the time.
