Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 163 162 Disastrous defeat! (two in one chapter)

In fact, Lv Bu had heard such rambunctious words in the past, such as domestic slaves with three surnames, and refugees from Bingzhou, among other things, Zhang Fei scolded him many times.

Therefore, he firmly believed that he would not get angry at all. How could the king of beasts be as knowledgeable as a barking wild dog?
It's just that after the unbearable abuse came to his ears one after another, Lu Bu knew that he had overestimated the limit of his endurance, the corners of his mouth twitched, the veins on his forehead popped up, his fists were clenched, and he wished to kill him immediately. The horse will go out.

Lin Mo hurriedly pushed the old father-in-law inside, "My lord father-in-law, let's go inside for tea."

Although the scolding sounds are unpleasant, but this camp can accommodate 7 people, and the central army is several hundred feet away from the gate, so of course it cannot be heard.

However, as the defenders who wanted to guard against the enemy's sudden attack, they had to bear it, including Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, gnashing their teeth one by one, but there was nothing they could do.

After noon, Wei Xu, who finally couldn't suppress his inner anger, took Hou Cheng and the others to the central army tent.

"Marquis Wen, those beasts outside the stronghold are too rampant. It's already past noon, and the enemy's momentum is exhausted. If a cavalry rushes out at this time, it will definitely smash the bandit army. The last general will ask for orders to fight!"

Lu Bu was quite angry at first, but after he came in, because he blocked the sound and Lin Mo changed the topic in various ways, he calmed down a long time ago, and sighed: "Be patient, there are tens of thousands of troops outside the village at this time , even if I really want to fight, how can my tens of thousands of troops rush out in one go?"

That's why when both sides are determined to fight, they often don't stay in the city or the village, but choose to leave their troops in the wild.

Because no matter it is the gate of the village or the gate of the city, the width can only allow seven or eight people to pass side by side. Tens of thousands of people can't do it in more than half an hour just going out to line up.

"It's just to make some money back. You don't need a large army. Thousands of riders are enough!" Wei Xu asked again.

Lu Bu glanced at Lin Mo, and seeing that the latter didn't respond, he shook his head knowingly, "It's not yet time."

Wei Xu and the others saw that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, so they could only leave angrily.

However, the abuse outside the stockade does not seem to be over, it is still going on, and Wei Xu and his group actually only need to stay at the door during the on-duty time to guard against sneak attacks, and they can leave when the next group takes over, away from harsh The verbal abuse, adjust the mentality.

But a few of them seem to be masochistic, they have obviously switched defenses, and they are still listening there, isn't this because they want to burst their minds?

Therefore, after the application time passed, a group of people ran to the Zhongjun tent again.

"Marquis Wen, the bandit army has already begun to withdraw. Sending troops at this time will definitely win a big victory. If you scold us all day, how can you gather the army's morale if you don't return the color!" Wei Xu blushed and had a thick neck. It's no different from scolding yourself.

Sitting on the handsome chair, Lu Bu took a sip from his teacup before saying in a deep voice, "Yunwen, I also think it's time to fight back, otherwise the morale of the soldiers under his command will be shaken."

Lin Mo still shook his head calmly, without even looking at the aggrieved faces of Wei Xu and the others, and said calmly, "It's not the time yet."

"Yunwen, when can we do it?" Wei Xu said in a low voice, suppressing his anger.

"I'll talk about it after I figure out how to ambush them after they lure us out." After scolding outside the stronghold for a day, tens of thousands of Bei Guojun just stood there for a day, and only ate the dry rations accompanying the army. This time is indeed the best time to pursue.

But Lin Mo believes that smart people like Tian Feng will not fail to think of this episode, maybe they are also waiting for this opportunity.

But a little curious, Lin Mo didn't know how they would ambush, Juyangshui couldn't hide ambushes, Qishan Mountain was lush with leaves, hiding tens of thousands of people shouldn't be a problem, but it definitely wasn't near here, the surrounding scouts didn't notice The opponent has a change.

If it is not near here, it seems unreasonable, because if one's own troops pursue it, the battle must be started in this area.

I really don't understand what they want to do.

"Since that's the case, how about we go to rob the camp tonight?" Song Xian suggested.

"Yup!"

Hearing this, Wei Xu clashed excitedly with fists and palms, raised his eyebrows and said, "Marquis Wen, the northern army sees that we dare not fight in the daytime, and they retreat and dare not pursue them. They must have never expected that we dared to rob the camp at night! How about Wen? Hou, what are you doing?"

"You can all imagine that there are ignorant soldiers in the Northern Army?" Lin Mo said unceremoniously, making the group of veterans dumbfounded on the spot.

The impatient Wei Xu couldn't help having an attack, but he withered after meeting Lu Bu's lingering gaze, stomped his feet, and walked out cursing.

When only Weng and his son-in-law were left in the tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu frowned and sighed: "Yunwen, in fact, what they said has a certain truth, the Northern Army will definitely challenge one after another, and we can't always avoid it like this." Let's fight, this has too much impact on the morale of the army, don't want to end up with bad things that are hard to recover."

"My lord Yue Zhang, this is a battle of life and death. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. If you can't even bear these few words of abuse, then why set up this big stronghold, and it would be easier to just rush up and fight with the army?"

The past two years have been so smooth that the insults that he didn't care about in the past have now become unacceptable insults. Wei Xu and the others are like this, and so is the old father-in-law.

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, and said earnestly, "Master Yuezhang, please give me some time, right?"

After talking about this, Lu Bu nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Just as everyone expected, early the next morning, the Northern Army came again, with the same lineup and the same routine, and hundreds of people started to scold as soon as they sat there.

And this time it was even more vicious than yesterday, apart from Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and even Gan Ning who had meritorious deeds were scolded all over the place.

Wei Xu was very angry at first, but after hearing their swearing, he was even more angry when he didn't have his own name, so a group of veterans went to plead for orders to rush out and kill randomly.

They ran several times a day like this, and Lu Bu was already a little shaken. Seeing that they were indignant every time, he was even more inclined to say that hundreds of riders would smash Yuan Jun to vent their anger for him.

Lin Mo's words can temporarily stabilize the old father-in-law, but he can also clearly feel that if there is no way to deal with it, it will only be a matter of time before this group of people rush out.

The problem is that Lin Mo really can't see any problems, not only him, but he also pulls Chen Gong and Jia Xu to think about it and doesn't see why.

The people who came two days were different. On the first day there were chariots, but on the second day there were no more. On the first day, there were only a thousand cavalry in the vanguard. On the second day, at least three thousand more came, and a bunch of shield soldiers were added. , God knows what they are going to do.

Qishan's scouts responsibly explored the land stretching for more than ten miles, and there was no ambush, not even a trace of the crowd trampling on it, which proved that the Northern Army had never been to Qishan.

So much so that even Chen Gong suspected that they had nothing to back them up, and they might really be provoking and trying to attract the army out.

If things are really that simple, it is undeniable that Wei Xu's approach is correct, because the army has been stretched all day, and it is very tired at dusk. After all, they are wearing heavy armor and holding weapons in their hands. , very large to physical exertion.

However, Lin Mo didn't want to believe that the other party would be so rude.

"I didn't expect Lu Bu to be so patient." The next day, the Northern Army retreated all the way to the camp without seeing the enemy chasing them. Yuan Tan couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"It should be Lin Mo who can persuade him." Tian Feng analyzed.

But Wen Chou didn't think so, and said a little anxiously: "Young master, if you let the army retreat enough distance tomorrow, the last general will come forward to challenge. If you can lure Lu Bu to kill him on the spot, it will save trouble."

"General Wen, don't be careless about Lu Bu's bravery. Now our army is as powerful as a rainbow. A few more days of provocation, and when the morale of Lu's army plummets, we can attack the stronghold in one go."

With this promise, Wen Chou gave up.

There is no way, the temper of the three armies is also relatively big. In fact, in the whole northern country, except for Yuan Shao, Wen Chou, who has a rebellious personality, doesn't pay attention to other people. Even if you are a son, before he takes over the big position, he is still Do it spontaneously.

On the third day, I was still familiar with the harsh abuse. As of today, the state of the sergeants is actually acceptable. After all, Lin Mo arranges for them to change their defenses every day, so that they will not be brainwashed all the time, because these veterans have already arrived. breaking point.

After the application time passed, he came to the military tent again. This time, Wei Xu knelt down on the ground with a thump, "Marquis Wen! The commander is humiliated, but the last general can only stand by and watch. This is worse than killing me.

If Marquis Wen is right today, let the last general lead his troops to rush out. If not, the last general will not be humiliated even if he goes out of the village alone! "

"Marquis Wen, the last general would rather die in battle than suffer such a great humiliation!" Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cao Xing and others all knelt down on one knee and asked for a fight.

Lu Bu stepped forward to help everyone up. After all, they were brothers who had died. After patting their chests one by one, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I know you are all overwhelmed."

Then he looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression, "Yunwen, I really can't delay any longer."

"I suspect that the first camp is among them." After these three days, after ruling out all the possibilities, Lin Mo felt that the Northern Army had to quickly counterattack without ambushes, and only by going to the camp first could it be done.

In the original Jieqiao battle, Baima Yicong was completely destroyed. Yuan Shao hid Xiandengying in the army to confuse Gongsun Zan. Baima Yicong.

"The elites of the Northern Kingdom who went to the camp first should be by Yuan Shao's side." Lu Bu turned his eyes and looked at Lin Mo.

Theoretically speaking, they should really follow Yuan Shao's side, after all that is the main battlefield.

But other than that, Lin Mo couldn't think of other possibilities.

"Lin Jianjun, go out and listen to what they are cursing. Don't forget that Marquis Wen is your father-in-law. You can't hide in this village just because you doubt it? If you are bloodless, you can stay in the camp. I'll charge and kill myself, don't stop me if you don't help me!"

"Wei Xu!"

Lu Bu's eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I said before, in this army, Yunwen is just like me. If anyone dares to make a mistake again, don't blame me for not thinking about the past love!"

Lu Bu's face was condensed, and he bit every word clearly, and the group of people could only look away and pant heavily.

Lin Mo rubbed his nose and squinted his eyes to look at Wei Xu. It seemed that he had to get rid of him, otherwise it would be a disaster to keep him.

When he rarely showed his face, even Zhao Yun could see that Lin Mo was holding his breath, but he didn't speak because of his identity.

"Yunwen."

Lu Bu came over, put his hands on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "He is a rough man, don't argue with him. In this way, I will send two thousand cavalry to fight. If the momentum is not right, I will come back immediately. You can rest assured, right?"

Then he sighed, lowered his voice and said, "It's true that those poor people can't be scolded day and night, and I can't help it either."

Lin Mo didn't answer, but Wei Xu and the others were already grinning with big yellow teeth.

"The last general agrees, let the last general lead the troops to the battle." A voice came from the corner, and everyone followed the reputation, but it was Gan Ning Gan Xingba who had never spoken in the tent of the Chinese army.

"Nonsense! I'll wait a few times to challenge you, will it be your turn?" Wei Xu didn't dare to offend Lin Mo, so it was okay to grin at Gan Xingba.

"Then according to the rules in the army, the final general wants to see the bravery of General Wei in the martial arts arena." As Lin Mo, the Jinfan thief who made money from Jiangxia to Lujiang after setting up the overall situation, he was humiliated by his Bole. , but regardless of whether you are a relative of Wen Hou or a veteran of the team, you already have a bit of banditry, and you will do it if you don't accept it.

"Xingba's words are good, Yun also wants to ask General Wei for advice." Lu Bu was about to reprimand Gan Ning, but Zhao Yun was uncharacteristically, and immediately knew that the two men were going to compete for superiority. He was clearly venting his anger for Lin Mo, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be annoyed or happy.

Even Zhang Xiu wanted to join in the fun, but was held back by Jia Xu.

Wei Xu was robbed by the two of them for a while, and he couldn't hold back. He snorted coldly: "The military is in a hurry now, how can we delay, Wen Hou, we old brothers have worked hard, and we won't let me lead the army in this battle. How will the army deal with itself in the future!"

"That's all, you guys, lead two thousand cavalry into the battle, and hunt down the northern army."

Putting his index and middle fingers together, Lu Bu tapped a few times, emphatically saying: "Remember, if the momentum is wrong, retreat immediately. This battle doesn't require you to win anything, just restore some soldiers' morale!"

"Here!"

Several people smiled happily, and jumped out like rabbits after receiving the order to transfer troops.

After they left, Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, his mouth moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Both of them were found by Lin Mo, so their feelings for him are naturally different from ordinary people. Lu Bu felt that the actions just now were a little too serious for him, but he was venting his anger for his son-in-law. After choosing the default, he could only wave his hand, "If it's all right, step back."

After they all left, Lu Bu said with a smile: "You are quite similar to Ling'er, once you get angry, you don't speak, and your eyes can eat people.

After I got married to Ling Erniang, Wei Xu helped me a lot, and he found some good fighters for me, like Song Xian and others, they also followed Wei Xu to help me conquer the world at that time.

But if you really don't like it, I will transfer him to Lujiang to guard after this battle. Today's matter is due to the old kindness, so don't bother with him.

I know that you are extremely intelligent, and it is really easy to deal with a reckless man, but it is not pleasant to hear about it, you understand? "

Looking at the battle just now, Lu Bu did not doubt that his son-in-law would really deal with Wei Xu.

The most important thing is that a smart person like him, now in power in the military, let alone clean up Wei Xu, even Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and Cao Xing will not take too much effort.

Lin Mo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Lord Yuezhang, don't worry."

Lu Bu's heart is warmed just by listening to the previous words. The son-in-law is sensible, and his pattern and mind are different.

"When I clean up Wei Xu, I will definitely not leave any traces, so I can't spread it." After finishing speaking, Lin Mo left the Zhongjun tent without looking back, leaving Lu Bu alone in the wind.

After he realized it, Lin Mo had already walked away, so he could only snort coldly, "Why are you still being childish!"

With Yuan Jun completely gone, the gate of the village finally opened, Wei Xu took the lead, followed by Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian, leading two thousand cavalry to pursue them like lightning.

For three days, for three full days, everyone was holding back an uncontrollable anger. Only the blood of the Northern Army could calm this anger.

Just as they expected, the northern army retreated with heavy footsteps and very slow speed, and it was obvious from a glance that this was a sign of extreme fatigue.

"Brothers, rush up to me and tear up these beasts!" Wei Xu raised his steel gun excitedly.

Seeing Lu Jun's cavalry chasing after them, the infantry of the Northern Army scattered and fled in all directions, like a wave that was cut off in the middle.

This is a good sign, because the opponent's formation has become chaotic. In this case, they can kill the enemy without restraint.

Wei Xu, who was at the forefront of the charge, only felt the blood in his body boil, and when he was about to enter the chaos, a strong crossbow appeared from the scattered Northern Army.

The [-] first boarded the camp and waited for it long ago. Their positions were scattered and ordered, and they were arranged in four rows.

Before Wei Xu could react, Yuan Tan yelled, "Send!"

Arrows as thick as fingers flew out from the trajectory of the crossbow, and the powerful penetrating force directly penetrated Wei Xu's armor within a short distance. After falling off the horse, he rolled several times before stopping.

There was a bloody hole left on his right arm, but he didn't have time to check it, so he raised his head while enduring the pain, and the scene in front of him completely stunned him.

I saw the cavalry fell down in pieces under the first step of the camp.

Their cooperation is orderly. When shooting in two rows, the arrows in the back are loaded to reduce the gap.

Although Hou Cheng had already reined in his horse early, the effect was not great, because the shooting distance of the heavy crossbow was sufficient, and the high-jumping horse even failed to touch the ground with a few arrows, and fell to the ground and died violently.

The first camp is not a continuous firing, they will be constantly adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the arrows.

This is also the drawback of the heavy crossbow. Although the penetrating power is extremely strong, but because it is a flat shot, to ensure the accuracy, you have to constantly adjust the size of the heavy crossbow. Years can not find the feeling.

In addition, the manufacturing cost of heavy crossbows is extremely high. Compared with cheaper bows, the precision is low but the coverage is light. More princes will choose to use bows instead of crossbows.

But the advantage of crossbow arrows is that once the stance output in front of you appears, coupled with highly skilled sergeants, it is almost the effect of Gatling.

In just one face-to-face effort, four or five hundred riders have already fallen.

Wei Xu's heart was about to break when he saw it, he knew how rare these cavalrymen were, he regretted, he regretted that he shouldn't fight with Nephew Yun Wenxian, now how do I face Marquis Wen, how do I face my brothers!

Enduring the severe pain, he stood up and wanted to yell at everyone to retreat, but before he could speak, two arrows pierced through his armor from behind, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he was speechless.

"Wei Xu!"

Song Xian yelled anxiously, wanting to step forward to rescue Wei Xu, but was held back by Cao Xing, "Hurry up! Look at the surrounding Yuan Jun surrounding us!"

"Hou Cheng!" Cheng Lian knocked down a few arrows that were coming towards him with a long spear in his hand, and watched as Hou Cheng, who was less than five feet away from him, was shot with seven or eight blood holes, and fell straight to the ground .

"Quick retreat! Quick retreat! Hurry up!" Cao Xing yelled desperately with tears in his eyes.

A group of people were killed without even touching a hair of the Northern Army.

"Want to run?"

Wen Chou snorted coldly, raised his gun and rushed forward. He chased the Lu Jun cavalry like a fierce tiger, almost without any stagnation along the way, passing by a cavalry, only an afterimage was seen, and a blood hole appeared on a cavalry. Immediately fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the Northern Cavalry stood outside the stronghold all day, and their mounts were too weak to keep up with Lu Jun, otherwise they would have achieved annihilation of the entire army.

After finally seeing their own camp, everyone desperately reined in and pinched the horse's belly. God knows when Wen Chou will appear behind him.

Speaking of bravery, with the cavalry running wildly, the Northern Army has been left far behind. Wen Chou single-handedly pursued and killed a whole team of cavalry, but no one dared to look back. This is what a defeated army looks like .

"Quick! Shoot the arrow and shoot this guy!" Cao Xing, who was running in the front, was about to yell smoke from his throat.

But under the chaos of the army, the crossbowmen in the village did not dare to shoot arrows rashly. The accuracy of bows and arrows is very low, and it is not worthwhile to accidentally injure this kind of crowd.

Wen Chou chased all the way to the place where the army stronghold was within a stone's throw before giving up. He turned his head and looked behind him, but there was no one there, so he quickly turned his horse's head and ran away from Lu Ying.

Today, killing fun!
Brother wait, we will break through this Luzhai soon, and then go to Xuchang to save you!Wen Chou had only one thought in his mind.

Lu Bu was still thinking about how to reconcile the conflict between Lin Mo and Wei Xu, when he saw Chen Gong rushing in, his face was shocked, "It's not good, Marquis Wen, there was an ambush among them, and there were heavy casualties !"

"What did you say?" How long has it been since you went out, and you told me that there were heavy casualties?

"Let's take a look!" Chen Gong pulled Lu Bu out anxiously and annoyed. During the whole process, Lu Bu felt his head went blank, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Two thousand cavalry, that is my lifeblood, if I lose them, how can I fight the Northern Army!
