Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Boom boom boom——

The sound of orderly footsteps rang out across the field, and human figures moved forward and backward, forming a black straight line in the farthest field of vision. The sound of horns rang out in the sky, and soldiers also marched with firm steps across the field illuminated by the sun between the clouds, with flags fluttering and murderous aura rising.

A scout came to report, shouting, "Enemy sightings fifteen miles ahead." Then he was ordered to turn around and run to the front line for further espionage.

"I didn't expect that the Liao army and I would both go out today." Lü Bu rode on the tall Red Hare. In the distance, smoke and dust rose to the sky, covering the sky and the sun. His handsome face suddenly showed a smile. He looked at the supervisor beside him and joked: "Is this considered telepathy?"

Honest Yu Cheng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

After the troops set out in the morning, the scouts immediately discovered the movements of the Liao army. They were surprised that the other side was so anxious to send troops. At the same time, Lu Bu felt that his judgment of the Liao people's mentality seemed wrong, but it didn't make much difference. He simply went up to the Liao army and killed them. He thought it was a siege battle, but now that the enemy had left the camp themselves, it would be even simpler.

A figure rode over nearby. He turned his head to look at the other person and saw it was Xiao Haili. He continued to observe the surrounding terrain and the army beside him.

"The Liao army is just ahead of us and will arrive soon. It seems that the pressure from the Jin Kingdom in the north is greater than mine."

The Liao army was so hasty in sending out troops. A little thought about the current situation in Liaodong would reveal the reason. He felt somewhat uncomfortable when he thought that he now occupied an area along the southwestern coast and had 50,000 armored and armed soldiers, but was considered inferior to the barbarians in the north by the Liao people.

but……

It shouldn't be a bad thing.

Another thought came to his mind and made him relax again.

"Since ancient times, barbarians have been brave and aggressive, without any sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. Their barbaric behavior naturally makes people feel oppressed."

Lu Bu looked back at him strangely, then turned his head and nodded his head with the three-pronged purple gold crown up and down: "That's right... The Liao commander on the opposite side has his own ideas. He wants to take back Liaodong. It's not wrong to think so. If I knew that a group of rebels had appeared, I wouldn't take it seriously."

The image of people wearing yellow clothes suddenly appeared in my mind, and then I shook my head with a smile, thinking that they were just a group of poor people who couldn't even afford to eat...

"The leader is considerate of Yelu Dezhong." Xiao Haili smiled, then lowered his mouth and said, "Be careful, leader. The Liao army has twice as many troops as ours, and they are not friendly."

The wind blew over, and the figure wearing golden beast-faced and head-swallowing chain armor raised his head slightly: "I may be far inferior to others in conspiracy and trickery, but when two armies confront each other, or when two armies confront each other on the battlefield, I have never been afraid of anyone."

The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind. "I hope this Liao army is more capable than the previous ones. Otherwise, why did I rush here?"

The innocent tone made the people around him feel relaxed. Looking at the sky, Lu Bu called the generals in the army to start assigning tasks. As soon as the order was given, figures with flags could be seen in the distance, and then the dark and surging Liao army came over.

Lu Bu had very good eyesight and could see the large flags fluttering on the opposite side. Although it was too far away to see clearly what was written on them, the various colored flags made it a little confusing.

"What a fuss..." Lu Bu muttered as he listened to the scout's report. He saw that people from the west and east were also gathering around him with different flags. Each army had about 10,000 people, and they stretched out in an array that was two miles long. They stopped about seven or eight miles away from Lu Bu's army, and then quickly deployed their troops.

"Let the infantry defend on the spot."

The powerful voice vibrated in the air. The cavalrymen who carried the message galloped back and forth in the army. The figures holding shields and spears ran quickly. The big shields were stuck into the ground. Long spears poked out from the gaps in the shields and from the top. The archers pulled out arrows and stuck them into the ground in front of them. They held another one in their hands, adjusted their breathing, and checked the bows and crossbows in their hands.

The dust gradually dissipated in the wind, a clearly defined formation gradually took shape, and flags with the surnames of generals and officers fluttered into the air.

Yelu Dezhong rode his warhorse and took his youngest son out of the range of the general's flag. Looking around, he saw the black-armored Lu Bu soldiers on the opposite side with their general flags fluttering in the air. As they moved and ran, they took defensive postures.

"This thief Lu is quite patient..." Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Yelu Dezhong turned around and was about to talk to his youngest son, but saw him counting the manes of a warhorse with a bored look on his face. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and could not help but raise his arm holding the whip. His teeth made a clicking sound. The wind suddenly blew, and the flags fluttered with a rustling sound, which made the prince finally put down his arm.

He murmured softly: "What sin have I committed to give birth to such a thing..."

"Ah? Dad, what did you say?"

The quiet self-talk was met with a loud response from the other side, causing the father to instantly clench the handle wrapped with gold wire and glare at him fiercely, causing Yelu Zonglin to shrink his neck and mutter softly, "Why are you glaring at me again when you don't say anything? Do you think I'm young and easy to bully..."

Yelu Dezhong pretended not to hear and took a deep breath to calm his anger: "Pass the order, Baomi Sheng and Tianshan Yong move forward!"

"Order the two wings to protect them, and Yelu Zonglei to roam the battlefield to provide support at any time. The army will press forward to the edge of the battlefield. Today... defeat these villains!"

The running messenger brought the newly issued military order to the three armies. Although the outcome of yesterday's battle was still undecided, they had the advantage, which boosted the morale of the Liao army.

"Beat the drums and let the soldiers charge forward bravely!" He waved the golden horse whip high in the air.

Boom boom boom!
On the left and right sides of the commander's flag, fat men in short clothes and bare arms stood on the carriage frame, swinging the drumstick covered with red cloth with all their might. The cowhide drum on the carriage suddenly vibrated, making an exciting drum sound accompanied by a deafening roar. Countless footsteps stepped on the "boom boom" beat of the drum and advanced towards the army on the opposite side that had formed a battle formation. The colorful flags of the three army formations fluttered in the air, giving a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

The troops led by Bao Mi Sheng and Tian Shan Yong marched in the middle, with groups of infantry holding round shields and curved swords, and cavalry on both sides, and a large number of archers holding powerful crossbows in the rear. In terms of sophisticated equipment, they were even stronger than Lu Bu's army on the opposite side. Their majestic presence boosted the morale of the soldiers.

After all, they were fighting on their own borders, and these Liao soldiers had never thought that they would easily lose to a group of rebels. It was just that after a long period of peace, even defeating the rebels was something worth celebrating and showing off.

However, they never thought that the Lu Bu army on the other side...

It is different. (End of this chapter)
