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

Chapter 292 291 Lin Mo’s layout
A legion like the Guanzhong Shibu, which is composed of Han people mixed with Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and other barbarians, of course cannot talk about how well they can cooperate.

However, the ten princes will also make special arrangements in the division of tribes according to the different strengths of their races.

For example, the Qiang people who are good at riding and shooting will form a cavalry and archery regiment, the Huns who are good at digging formations will form lances and cavalry, and the Di people who are good at close combat are mostly infantry, while the Han people, in addition to ordinary troops , most of them will be promoted to commanders such as centurions and military lords to ensure that there will be no defection in battle.

After that, the formations will be arranged according to the attributes of the units, such as shield soldiers, mounted archers, crossbowmen, sword and axemen, lancers, etc.

Although the tactics are relatively simple, the combat effectiveness of these troops is definitely on the table, otherwise Zhao Yun would not have been so embarrassed the first time he was attacked by Ma Chao and others.

To be fair, if the two sides were to compete head-on in terms of military strength, even an elite such as the Northern Army, who had experienced hundreds of battles, would not dare to say that they had a sure chance of victory against a mixed force such as the Guanzhong Ten Division.

The fact that Cao Cao was able to cut off his beard and throw away his robe was really not the result of Ma Chao's bravery alone. The overall combat effectiveness of the ten men and horses was terrifyingly strong.

The problem is that the unprecedented battle between Lu Bu and Ma Chao attracted the attention of ten men and horses, so when Zhang Xiu and Wei Yue suddenly came out from the north, even if there were only 6 spears and cavalry, [-] or [-] people were not affected at all. The power of resistance.

Wei Yue, who had been holding back his cowardly anger for six days, and Zhang Xiu, who had suffered more than half of the casualties in the battle, were like two tigers descending from the mountain. They waved their spears and jumped directly into the flank of the Liang army. Without even looking behind them, they rushed in with all their strength. go.

Logically speaking, for a deep team like this, it is easy for a team to go deep alone, resulting in insufficient stamina and being surrounded. Therefore, more often than not, the team is attacked from the flank for a short distance and then quickly removes the team from the top or bottom of the main army. Tear it apart in order to achieve the purpose of cannibalization.

Maybe the current formation of ten men and horses is really unsightly. The two of them were charging all the way without any enemy in front of them. Although the five thousand Wuhuan cavalry following them didn't know any tactics at all, even in the past they couldn't. It was rare for him to be so reckless, but after these days of training, he had not learned anything else, and the fact of following the leader's pace had been ingrained in his mind.

However, they were very surprised. Is this team really the same group of people who attacked Dazhai at night some time ago? It feels like it is completely different.

The army in front of them was actually penetrated from north to south by Zhang Xiu and Wei Yue with their five thousand cavalry.

In fact, it is certainly not that the Xiliang army is too weak. At this point in time, apart from the Qianghu cavalry in Liangdi, there is really no other cavalry team that can really stand up to the Wuhuan cavalry. .

The problem lies more with Lu Bu's battle-loving one-on-one style.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the so-called disagreement between father-in-law and son-in-law was originally a conspiracy. Even in the eyes of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, it was just a blow to Lu Bu's state of mind. But only Lu Bu knew in his heart that he had not completely come out of it. .

It wasn't until I came to the military camp and learned about all this, and saw that my camp was forced to do this by a general, that my blood, which had been cold for many years, boiled at that moment.

It seemed that he had finally found the meaning of his existence.

I dare not comment on how the final outcome of this battle would have been without myself, but without myself, Ma Chao would have been able to show off his power outside for six days. This is an indisputable fact after all.

He felt that he needed to let the world's regretful memories surge again.

At the moment of the confrontation on the battlefield, Ma Chao's outcome was actually destined. God knew it, the earth knew it, and Lu Bu also knew it.

In this case, shouldn't we cherish this rare recovery battle?
However, it happened that in the first fifty tentative rounds, the people of the ten tribes in Guanzhong actually thought that Lu Bu was already old and that their General Shenwei Tian was invincible, so that everyone forgot about the formation and surrounded him. come over.

What's even more ridiculous is that even veterans like Ma Teng and Han Sui have acquiesced to this fact.

And when they felt that Lu Bu was about to lose, it was also the time when Lu Bu felt that the game was almost over.

In the next fifty rounds, Ma Chao faced Lu Bu with full firepower, and it only took him 46 rounds to defeat him.

But in the eyes of the coalition forces, it seemed that they simply could not accept this reversal that Lu Bu had long known, nor could they accept that Ma Chao, whom they regarded as the God of War, could be defeated so simply.

Zhang Xiu and Wei Yue, who rushed out when everyone was still immersed in the despair of the collapse of their faith, naturally showed an invincible attitude.

Ma Teng's so-called withdrawal of troops is actually more meaningful just to allow everyone to escape in one direction tacitly, and try not to cause a stampede.

In fact, Ma Chao had not yet reacted to the disastrous defeat. He staggered up to Li Feisha. He was urged to climb up by Lu Bu. It was like an order from a strong man who could crush him. He had to follow it. .

The ground began to shake again, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves came from Xizhai. The Wuhuan cavalry brought out by Zhao Yun and Man Chong were all mounted shooters.

The combat method of mounted archers is different from that of lancers. They do not rush forward directly and focus on cutting through the opponent's formation. Instead, after increasing the speed of the war horse to the extreme, when the distance is suitable, a round of arrows will pour down.

After shooting, it will be like a raging flood that encounters a divergence formed by the mainstay. After taking out the arrows from the quiver, stringing the bow, it is time to start the second round.

It sounds like the efficiency is not as high as that of the Lancers, and killing is not as exciting as their way, but the real situation is that the number of enemies killed by the Cavalry Archer Corps is often higher than that of the Lancers.

Especially in a pursuit battle like this where the enemy is defeated, the cavalry and archery corps dare not say that their arrows are in vain, but because there is no pressure from in front of them, they can shoot more accurately.

It is extremely difficult to control the accuracy of archery on a bumpy and high-speed moving horse. This may be due to the talent of the Wuhuan people, so that every round of arrow rain, the hit rate is more than [-], which can be called It's outrageous.

Of course, in such a pursuit battle, especially because the ten tribesmen in Guanzhong were all in a group, the ones who died the most were often those who accidentally fell off their horses and were trampled by their own or the enemy's horses and lost their lives.

Seeing the Guanzhong coalition forces fleeing for their lives as Zhang Xiu and Wei Yue were beheaded, Lu Bu finally started to move.

Regardless of whether Lin Mo intended for him to regain himself on the battlefield, or whether he had to do this, Lu Bu finally saw the screams, wails, and cries of horses galloping through the forest of arrows and spears in the past. flying general.

The defeat came so suddenly that many people did not react and died either under the spears of the Wuhuan cavalry or in the rain of arrows from the cavalry archers.

Moreover, when it comes to escaping, many people cannot run with all their strength to the west of Dazhai. For example, if you are a centurion, you have to run away with your own people, otherwise you will run away from the battle.

Another example is Yan Xing and Pang De. They not only had to participate in the war, but also tried their best to protect their masters.

However, today, Pang De's pressure is obviously not as good as Yan Xing's, because this group of Lu Jun seems to be specifically targeting Han Sui's people to kill, and sometimes they even attack other nine people even if they are not in front of them. The troops turned a deaf ear.

"Damn it, did you admit the wrong person? I'm not Ma Teng!" That's it for the others. The key is that even Zhao Yun is coming to kill Han Sui.

If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the Qiang cavalry under his command, Han Sui would have ended up here.

On the other side, even when the dust was rolling and the war was chaotic, Lu Bu's figure still attracted the attention of many people. It was as if the battle just now had finally brought back those disappeared memories, and everyone remembered him. But Lu Bu, he just didn't take action, it doesn't mean he couldn't take action.

At this point, the red robe of hundreds of flowers became so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

This feeling of oppression is no less than that of running into an elite cavalry.

The red rabbit horse was not very fast, it just carried Lu Bu forward at an ordinary speed, but everyone was like a sardine encountering a killer whale, and decisively chose to leave the road for him.

Only some sergeants who didn't react in time would reflexively swing their spears at targets close to them. The result was that the spears had not been fully thrust out, and the severe pain from their throats made them unable to pick up the weapon.

Fang Tian Hua Ji is such a heavy weapon, but it can accurately leave a mark of death on the throat of every Xiliang soldier who stands in front of him.

Perhaps it was because the red rabbit horse was much taller than ordinary horses, and because Lu Bu's body was like a mountain, he could see farther.

He had a firm goal and a clear direction, pursuing at an angle.

His pursuit was much easier than that of others. He didn't even need to call out that I am Jiuyuan Lu Fengxian, and others would give way on their own.At this time, whoever gets closer to Lu Bu is equivalent to having half of his foot on the coffin board.

Soon, he finally found the golden war horse. The man on the war horse had a curly beard, was tall and tall, and was wielding a mountain axe. But at this time, he only focused on escaping for his own life.

That horse was a good horse, but in front of the Red Rabbit Horse, he could only look up. After sensing his master's intention, the Red Rabbit Horse began to run wildly.

Not long after, he caught up with Meatball, who was wearing armor and holding a mountain axe. Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and slapped the horse's butt. The horse immediately turned over and could only kick the horse's hooves in pain after falling to the ground. , but couldn’t get up.

After the fat man on the horse rolled to the ground, he didn't care where the mountain ax fell. His survival instinct made him want to grab the horse. Just when he got up, he saw the painted halberd coming towards him. Lu Bu shouted, " Thief Han, your death has come!"

"do not want!"

The fat man turned pale with fear and subconsciously shouted: "My surname is not Han, my surname is Ma!"

The halberd stopped within two inches of his throat. Lu Bu tilted his head and looked at the man and asked, "Your surname is Ma? Are you from Ma Teng?"

He doesn't know me.
The fat man wanted to introduce himself as his family, but when he thought about it, in front of the three armies just now, Lu Bu could have killed Ma Chao but didn't do it. Moreover, he was talking and laughing with him. He didn't know what he muttered. It was obvious that they had a close relationship. ah.

He rolled his eyes. Now his name might not be as useful as the name of the Ma family. He immediately thought of a way, "Yes, yes, I am the Ma family, and Ma Teng is my brother!"

"Where is Han Sui?" Lu Bu withdrew his halberd.

Feeling the icy cold gradually go away, the fat man gasped for breath, feeling lucky to survive the disaster. He pointed in the direction without thinking, "Han Sui is over there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu chased after him in the direction he pointed.

God knows what is going on and why Lu Bu would go easy on the Ma family.
When his life was hanging by a thread, Ma Wan was not in the mood to think about these problems, but he instinctively felt that this matter was not simple. He just quickly found a horse and ran towards the west in embarrassment.

The pursuit continued until thirty miles away. It was not until Ma Dai and the remaining troops learned the news and came to the rescue that they reluctantly forced Lu Jun back.

Along the way, Lu Jun collected the trophies with a smile. If it were in the past, those weapons and armors could not be wasted. Even if they were marked with marks, they could be exchanged for some military merits. After all, they could be recast after being melted.

But now, war horses are everywhere, and nothing is more valuable than war horses. Many soldiers brought back three horses each, and some of the lesser ones also had one horse. It was a great harvest.

In the military camp, the soldiers who were left behind spontaneously ran out and lined up to welcome Lu Bu back to the camp.

"Marquis Wen will win! Marquis Wen will win! Marquis Wen will win!" These words come from the heart.

The battle just now was witnessed by many people. Lu Bu lived up to his reputation as the Tiger of the Nine Plains, and the banner in their hearts never faded.

The victorious soldiers were very excited. Following Lu Bu made them feel proud.

At this moment, both Lin Mo and Zhao Yun understood the truth in their hearts. Some people's natural cohesion and leadership are truly unsurpassed in your life.

Especially Zhao Yun. After beheading Tadun, when the Wuhuan cavalry looked at him, their eyes were full of awe in addition to obedience, because he had replaced Tadun as the shamanistic god of Wuhuan, and he was such a powerful figure in the minds of the Qiang people. General Tian.

However, in front of Lu Bu, the eyes of these Wuhuan cavalry clearly showed fear.

It is understandable that in the battle with Ma Chao just now, Lu Bu's level was truly insurmountable even in his lifetime.

"Yunwen, what you asked me to do has been done." After dismounting, Lu Bu habitually took off the red robe of flowers behind him. The cloak was soaked in blood and could not flutter in the wind.

"My father-in-law is so powerful. After today, people all over the world will always remember him. There may be countless fierce generals in this world, but there is only one flying general."

Listening to Lin Mo's heartfelt words of emotion, Lu Brown laughed loudly, "I love hearing this!"

"Let's go. The celebration banquet has been prepared in the village. Next, there is no need to actively ask for a fight. Wait for them to come to your door."

"Can Ma Wan really provoke civil strife in the Ten Divisions of Guanzhong?" Lu Bu asked casually as he walked to the water tank nearby to clean the blood stains on his body.

Lin Mo nodded while facing the back of his old father-in-law, "Let Ma Chao go before the formation, and then enter the game with horse play. This has already taken two steps, and there is still a third step left. This third step can only wait for them to come to the door." .

After three steps, ten troops will be in chaos! "

Lu Bu didn't speak any more. When the cleaning was almost done, he turned around and smiled angrily at Lin Mo, "I just like your confidence. If you said that ten troops will be in chaos, he will definitely be in chaos!"

"Of course, just like my father-in-law said that Ma Chao will lose, he will definitely lose. The reason is the same." Lin Mo knew that he would still have to worry more about his old father-in-law's sensitive heart in the future.

There would be no problem if there were more of these harmless business exchanges.

Sure enough, these words were very useful to the old father-in-law. He smiled like a child weighing more than 200 pounds, dragging Lin Mo along just to get drunk.

As for whether the people of the Ten Divisions of Guanzhong were defeated but not in chaos, and whether they might come to sneak attack during the crisis, neither of them was worried.

The situation laid out in front of the battle today, even if it did not immediately cause civil strife among the ten troops in Guanzhong, was enough to make them suspicious of each other.

Han Sui's inner thoughts, Ma Wan's inner thoughts, coupled with the loose alliance itself, inevitably lead to intrigues.

Lu Jun was celebrating, being reckless, and drinking heavily. In addition to celebrating today's victory, he was also celebrating Lu Bu's return.

The Ten Divisions in Guanzhong seemed much more melancholy. In today's battle, the army was defeated, and the number of casualties could not be counted immediately, but the losses of each division were heavy, which was visible to the naked eye.

In the military camp, the wounded soldiers were wailing, and the defeated troops were lying on the ground in a mess, breathing greedily. Some were wailing, while others were silent. They were leaning against each other in small groups, their eyes somewhat empty.

At this time, what the princes have to do is to go to the wounded soldiers' camp to cheer them up, and if necessary, even bandage them with their own hands.

Of course Han Sui understands this truth, but now, he is not in the mood to do such things. Today, he suffered the heaviest casualties. I just listened to Yan Xing's report. The preliminary estimate is that the number of casualties is more than 4000, and the number of minor and serious injuries exceeds 8000. .

Those Lu Jun attacked his people like crazy. If they don't tell the truth about this, they may not be able to get through it.

He immediately asked all the princes to discuss matters in their military tents.

Although they were disgraced, Han Sui, as the deputy governor, spoke, and everyone put down their work and rushed over.

Ma Teng, as for Ma Teng, thought that Han Sui had some urgent military affairs that he wanted to discuss with everyone, so when he saw everyone gathered, he raised his eyebrows at Han Sui and said, "Wen Yue, everyone who is supposed to be here is here. If you have any ideas, just tell me."

Han Sui glanced around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Ma Chao, who lowered his head so that his whole face was hidden in his messy hair, and said quietly: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Meng Qi, what Lu Bu told you before the battle today. He said something, I think he seems quite happy."
