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

Chapter 177 Chapter 176

If the general surprise attack team leaves the camp, if there are not many people, with the help of the cover of night, they will go out in batches, and several teams will be sent in advance to continuously check the surroundings. It is not difficult to avoid the eyeliner of the opponent's scouts.

If there are mountains and dense forests as cover on the terrain, tens of thousands of people can march silently.

However, the 5 people Lu Bu brought with him obviously had no advantage in terrain. The terrain in this area was chosen by Tian Feng to camp after research.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide tens of thousands of soldiers without showing their traces.

Lu Bu led the army half way, and the news had already reached Yuan Tan's ears.

Tian Feng was a little surprised that Lu Bu was not fooled and went to the grain and grass camp. After laying out the game for so long and throwing such a tempting bait, the other party could still resist it. This is really not easy for Lin Mo.

On the other hand, Yuan Tan looked calm and looked at Tian Feng, "Sir, do you want to send a quick horse to order Wen Chou to come back?"

He didn't panic, it would be the best result to attract Lu Bu to the grain and grass camp, even if he couldn't, he might not be able to please him when he came to the Chinese army's stronghold, and the [-] army in the stronghold plus Xiandeng camp and Euphorbia soldiers, he wouldn't be able to break through in a short while.

I was afraid that he would neither go to the grain and grass camp nor come to the Chinese army's stronghold. Instead, the two armies would continue to confront each other, which would be too much torture for Yuan Tan, who was eager for a big position.

"You can't believe it, or lure Wen Chou for a feint, and the ultimate goal is not necessarily the food and grass camp."

As a conservative, Tian Feng's design this time seems to be risky, but in fact, from the overall situation, it is still a stable group. He stroked his short beard and said in a deep voice: "If Lu Bu really invades, it will be too late to send a quick horse to recall Wen Chou."

Yuan Tan thought for a while, and the distance was only more than 30 miles. Even if the infantry couldn't make it back, Wen Chou's [-] cavalry could always return as soon as possible. "Okay, let's see what Lu Bu wants to do."

The defense in the Chinese army's big camp is also considered to be watertight. Eight hundred first entered the camp to surround the entire Chinese army's big tent, and five hundred euphorbia soldiers held the spear.

They are the most elite troops under Yuan Tan's command, even among the 70 Northern Army, but tonight, they only need them to guard the Chinese Army.

Tian Feng has carefully studied some of Lu Jun's past achievements, and found that compared with ordinary troops, they especially like to go straight to the Chinese army and capture the flag with their own bravery.

Therefore, protecting the Chinese army tonight is the key.

The [-] troops on the periphery made three layers of defense. The outermost ones were sword soldiers, spearmen, and armor-piercing hammer soldiers; the second layer was archers;

It can be said that as long as the morale does not collapse on a large scale, as the ambush side waiting for work, it will have an advantage even in the face of the elite.

I dare not say that this underdog has completely crushed Lu Bu, but it is always easy to drag Wen Chou and the others back.

Once Wen Chou's army returns, Lu Bu will undoubtedly be defeated.

What's more, Han Ju also brought 3 people over Qishan to attack their camp.

Yuan Tan felt that it was impossible for him to lose no matter what, it was nothing more than a matter of the ratio of casualties between the two sides.

On the Qingzhou front under the night, Lu Bu led 5 people and approached five miles away from the Northern Army camp. He waved his hand, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yue, and Gan Ning beside him came over.

"Divide the troops!"

"Here!"

After an order was given, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Wei Yue each led 3000 people to break away from the army, like three black dragons wandering across the land.

Now in Lu Ying, there are not many people who can really lead an army of [-] people, except for Zhang Liao in Guangling, that is, Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu.

To be honest, Zhao Yun and Wei Yue are currently only lieutenant generals, so it is okay to let them lead a small force to charge into battle. When leading an army of [-] people, what matters more is not personal bravery, but whether you can respond calmly and correctly when unexpected events occur in the battle situation.

If one order is lost, the army will die.

This cannot be achieved without years of precipitation.

As for Gan Ning, in terms of experience in this battle, he was still far behind Zhao Yun and Wei Yue, so he followed Wei Yue's team, which was the weakest.

It would be great if Wei Xu was still alive. Lu Bu sighed inwardly. After all, he is the most trusted person and has experience in leading troops. If he is entrusted to him, there will be no problems.

But thinking about it in retrospect, what Lin Mo said seems to be the last word. People like Zhao Zilong, Gan Xingba, and Wei Chunan each have the ability to lead an army, but they lack experience. The best opportunity for actual combat is right in front of them.

However, there are still fewer generals leading troops in the army. Now that the territory is getting bigger, it is really necessary to recruit more good players.

Lu Bu put away his somewhat messy thoughts, looked at the Northern Army camp that was as big as a county town ahead, and let out a foul breath.

Not long after, the army marched one mile away from the gate of the Northern Army. Lu Bu raised his right hand, and the soldiers behind him spread out knowingly, leaving a passage in the middle.

The center of the team was more than 2000 cattle. The horns of these cattle were tied with weapons, and the tails of the cattle were also tied with reeds soaked in tung oil.

It is worth mentioning that these cattle had been transported to Linqu County by Chen Gong long before the start of the war, and it was the suggestion made by the old bastard Jia Xu at that time.

The method of playing the Fire Bull Formation was first invented by Tian Dan of Qi State during the Warring States Period. Under the posture of the enemy being strong and we being weak, he showed a timid appearance again and again, and finally released a group of Fire Bulls, and the Yan army was scattered, and they defeated more than [-] cities in succession.

In Jia Xu's view, Lu Bu was at an absolute disadvantage just like Qi at that time, no matter in terms of military strength, ordnance, food, and logistics. Coupled with the combination of terrain, the Fire Bull Formation was very suitable.

"Light it up!" With an order, the soldiers surrounded them one by one, took out the kindling they prepared in their hands, and at the same time surrounded the two sides with shields, so that the cattle would charge in one direction for a while.

With the tails of the ox being ignited, and after a scream of 'moo', the leading farm ox began to charge forward, the second and third
In the end, all the more than two thousand cattle ran wildly, accompanied by the screams of the cattle.

The Northern Army in the stockade had already received the news that Lu Jun was coming to sneak attack, and they were ready to go. However, these weak troops had no decent combat experience and were dominated by Lu Bu's famous fear, so they were always anxious.

Hearing the sound now, I couldn't help poking my head out of the tent curiously to see what happened.

It’s okay not to look at it, but this time I was stunned. The farm cattle rushed towards the stockade madly because their buttocks were burned. The fences, tents and even the piled grain trucks blocking them along the way were ignored and directly ran into them.

Along the way, the place after being rammed by the mad bull was a mess. A centurion brought his soldiers with knives and ran forward to stop them. In the end, they were all knocked away by the cattle.

However, their ring-head knives slashed at the cows, and they couldn't penetrate the thick cowhide at all. Even if a pikeman used their weapons to pierce the cows' stomachs, not only failed to stop the cows, but made them charge more violently.

More than 2000 cattle ran rampant in the huge Yuan camp, and the Beiguo army ran around in shock. They all knew that there would be enemy troops coming, but no one told them that it would be a group of crazy cattle.

Until these cattle rushed into the camp and ran for four or five miles, and entered the ambush circle of the second-level crossbowman, many cattle were indeed killed under the volley of arrows, but with the hard hide, more than 800 cattle still broke through this layer of defense.

In the third ambush circle, those shield soldiers desperately pressed their large shields against the ground to form a steel fence. In addition, there were more than a dozen people behind each shield to resist the impact. They tried to forcefully block the cattle, but it turned out to be self-defeating. , is also enough to turn the world upside down.

What was even more frightening was that as the cattle rushed into the gate, Lu Bu rushed in with his soldiers. The army of ten thousand people he led was all infantry, including crossbowmen, sword soldiers, spearmen and shield soldiers, but no cavalry.

Originally there were only about [-] cavalry, so Wei Xu and the others lost more than [-] in a while, and the remaining little bit should be handed over to the other three groups of troops, so as to relieve the pressure on their end.

The infantry was a bit slower, but even in the face of thousands of troops, Lu Fengxian held a halberd in his hand. He had never been afraid. Riding a crimson red rabbit horse, he jumped directly into the chaotic camp of the Northern Army like a ball of flames.

Many people didn't even see Lu Bu's appearance clearly. They only felt that when the neck became cold, blood gushed out from the opening.

He wandered randomly among the chaotic army, one man and one horse, and every time he passed, there were corpses spattered with blood, screaming again and again.

Five centurions on horseback rushed towards Lu Bu, trying to stop his killing. Even if they delayed him, they could at least temporarily stabilize the morale of the army.

The first person struck from behind and stabbed at Lu Bu's back. As if Lu Bu had eyes behind him, he did not dodge or dodge. Fang Tian drew his halberd at a tricky angle and sacrificed his carbine, piercing through the centurion's armor first.

Immediately, he picked up his body and slammed towards another centurion fiercely.

bang~
Just the collision of the bodies sank the centurion's chest cavity, spat out a mouthful of blood, and both of them fell to the ground without any movement. One can imagine the strength.

The remaining three people went forward side by side. Facing the attack of swords and guns, after Lu Bu swung two weapons with ease, Fang Tian slapped the one in the middle with a halberd.

The centurion held up his spear to block, but the forged solid iron body of the gun was snapped off in response, and the undiminished blow hit the centurion's armor, which instantly split into spider webs.

The final closing net was to sweep away thousands of troops with one plan, only to see the cold light flickering, the two centurions blocked together but failed to block this strange force, and were swung off their horses.

All this sounds like it took a long time, but from the No. 1 centurion to the ground to the last two people falling off the horse, it was only a few breaths.

We all know that Lu Fengxian is invincible in the world, but only after seeing him kill people will he understand that it only takes one time, and it is enough to leave a shadow on people.

Among this group of people, some have seen Yan Liang and Wen Chou fight, and they only feel that their martial arts are already invincible on the battlefield, and there is no one in the world who can match them.

After seeing Lu Bu make a move, they only had one thought, escape!

Lu Bu killed twice, his body was already splashed with blood, Fang Tian's painted halberd was dyed red, and the sergeant behind him finally followed up.

Originally, the northern army was in disarray after being attacked by the cattle for a while, but after being massacred by Lu Bu, the morale of the army suddenly faltered.

Finally, someone yelled out a desperate word, "Run away!"

When the two armies fought, they fought with the same momentum. Once someone dropped their weapons and fled, this fear would spread like a plague.

"Oops, Lin Mo must have guessed our intentions and knew that the best of the best, so he was going to attack the big battalion and brought the Fire Bull Formation!"

In the tent of the Chinese army, Tian Feng paced back and forth, with panic on his brows.

Unexpectedly, such a design was still guessed by them. In fact, his tactics this time have been considered extremely stable, because no matter where Lu Bu strikes, it is difficult to get back unscathed.

But who ever thought that they used the Fire Bull Formation before they charged into the formation. If Wen Chou's elite were here, or if they placed the first camp and the euphorbia soldiers at the front, they would be disintegrated. However, the opponent had completely guessed his intentions.
"I've already dispatched a fast horse to report to General Wen Chou. It's in time. It's okay, I'll definitely make it in time." Yuan Tan swallowed, trying to put on a calm gesture on his face, but panicked inside.

After all, he is also a person who has fought in battle, and he knows that anyone can leave in this matter, but he must not leave. As long as the big tent of the Chinese army is stabilized, the soldiers will still have a sliver of confidence.

So, he drew out the sword in his waist, ran out of the military tent, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, General Wen Chou has arrived, you must stop them and buy time for General Wen Chou!"

In fact, Lu Jun is far from coming, but the sound of fighting and howling in the distance is slowly approaching. This kind of psychological pressure will make many people feel timid.

Yuan Tan shouted this because he was trying his best to stabilize the morale of the army. He wanted to tell the soldiers that I, Yuan Tan, are still here, and Wen Chou is coming soon. Don't panic!

The infantry led by Lv Bu was in a hurry all the way, and the second-tier crossbowman was simply a display. In their expectation, the opponent should be riding a fast horse to plunder the stronghold and want to break through the camp of the Chinese army.

But the fact is that Lu Jun is sticking to the first line of defense, and the Beiguo Army advances all the way. If he shoots arrows, he will inevitably shoot his own people.

After hesitating for a moment, the other party had already pressed over. The captain in charge of the army did not care too much, and suddenly shouted: "Quickly release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

Several rounds of arrows rained down, and the harvest was not small. They shot down hundreds of Lu Jun, but the fleeing Bei Guojun even smashed the formation of their own crossbowmen.

Many crossbowmen were knocked over by their own people when they finished the first round and were about to draw their bows. For a while, a bead curtain formed on the battlefield.

This bought time for Lu Bu to lead his men into the battle. He rode his horse and jumped a few feet away, charged behind the crowd and swept across the sky with his halberd opening and closing. The remains of the Northern Army flew around.

Just tearing a hole is enough for the sergeants behind to rush up and break the formation.

The killing was fierce, but Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yue didn't rush in. According to the agreement, their charge would wait for Lu Bu to enter the stronghold for a stick of incense.

It was estimated that the time was almost up. In such a large military camp, they could hear the sound of fighting inside, so they knew that the time had come.

"Rush into the tent of the Chinese army, kill the generals and capture the flag, and make meritorious deeds by killing the enemy!" Following Zhang Xiu's order, he led more than ten thousand people and began to rush in from the South Village.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Wei Yue also rushed in.

The final decisive battle is unfolding impressively in Dazhai of the Central Army of the Northern Army!

　Regardless of whether it is the Kongming Lantern or the Fire Bull Formation, I have already planted the foreshadowing in front of it. It is definitely not that there will be more than 2000 cattle.
