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

Chapter 60
In the symbolic contact battle, 31 cavalrymen were lost, 12 of them died under random arrows, 15 died in the charge of breaking the formation, and four of them were swallowed by the Wanshui because they were too panicked after falling into the water.

However, the overall combat power of Liu Xun's subordinates is relatively weak. The Sky Breaker is a second-rate level, and the crossbowmen are not bad, with good accuracy and penetration.

At the same time, there is a fear of fighting, lack of experience, and the response after breaking the formation is very blunt.

It was already night when we returned to the barracks, and Lu Bu and others were sitting around the bonfire roasting lamb legs. Gao Shun first reported the battle damage clearly, and then analyzed Liu Xun's trilogy.

After finishing all the procedures, Gao Shun took a look at the silent Lin Mo, slightly displeased, and said: "If this battle is not hindered by the Wanshui, we will surely break through Liu Xun's front today, so as to stun him."

Lin Mo just looked up at Gao Shun and didn't say anything, but everyone present could hear Gao Shun's complaints about this marching route.

"General Boping, in fact, it is reasonable for Yunwen to choose this path. Liu Xun must have known that the Wanshui blocked our cavalry, so he dared to abandon the city and join our army in the field. This should be Yunwen's plan. One." Lu Su threw a piece of dry wood into the bonfire and explained.

"According to Gongtai's marching strategy, Liu Xun may not be able to bear it if he goes to Yangquan to fight for aid." Gao Shun was dissatisfied with this explanation, and looked at the jumping Mars and fell into depression.

It's all here, why are you still holding on?Lu Bu immediately felt dissatisfied and wanted to reprimand him. After all, he was the one who gave the order. Was he dissatisfied with his son-in-law or himself?
Before he could speak, he met Lin Mo's eyes. The latter shook his head slightly. Lu Bu swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and then remembered the education class.

He picked up the sizzling leg of lamb roasted in front of him and handed it to Gao Shun, "Boping has worked hard."

Gao Shun was a little taken aback. Based on his understanding of Lu Bu's character, shouldn't he be cursing a few words?

After he took the mutton leg, Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "I have a red rabbit horse, and I cross the river like walking on flat ground. After resting, I will personally lead the troops to charge the battle, and let Liu Xun know the sharpness of Fang Tian's halberd."

"Marquis Wen is so brave, how could it be Liu Xun's child who can beat him." After Gao Shun finished speaking, he quietly bit the leg of lamb in his hand, and stopped talking.

Only then did Lin Mo finally speak, "Then there is no need for Yuezhang to act lightly, my son-in-law is already prepared."

"Oh? What preparation?" Lu Bu looked at him with great interest.

"This trip deliberately brought thousands of burlap bags. Tomorrow, soldiers can be sent upstream to fill in sand and stones to block the Anhui River. This should reduce the impact on the cavalry."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lu Bu said three good things in a row, raised his sword eyebrows, and said quite proudly: "I knew that you boy would not choose to go to Wanshui for no reason, so it was already prepared."

"Why didn't you take it out yesterday?" Gao Shun couldn't be more angry when he thought that he had to break more than 30 rides before charging once.

"It's not over?" Lu Bu couldn't bear it this time, and turned his head to stare at Gao Shun.

Even Gao Shun, who had no fear of life and death on the battlefield, couldn't bear the pressure from the mountain of corpses and blood, so he immediately lowered his head and honestly gnawed on the leg of lamb.

Lin Mo has black hair, Yue Zhang, you are too protective of the calf.

Just after finishing speaking, Lu Bu felt that he was not calm enough. Didn’t he agree that he wanted a bowl of water to be flat? Immediately he stood up and kicked Gao Shun, “Come on, take me to the camp to see the injured brothers.”

After the two left, there were only Lin Mo, Lu Lingqi, and Lu Su left by the campfire. Lu Su felt that he was a little redundant, so he followed in a hurry.

"General Gao has a straightforward personality, is upright, and can't hide his words, but he has no bad intentions." Lu Lingqi looked at the sparks jumping on the bonfire, explaining and comforting.

"He is not only upright, but also a loyal hero under Yue Zhang's command. How could I argue with him?" Lin Mo smiled indifferently.

You know, he is the only one among the titans under his command who would rather die with Lu Bu than surrender. Such a person can't be found with a lantern, so why bother about it.

What's more, Lin Mo knew very well in his heart that Gao Shun was just talking about the facts, not against himself.

If you want to establish an undeniable prestige in the military camp, it is not enough to rely on the son-in-law of Marquis Wen. You can either rely on the accumulation of bones under the halberd like Lu Bu, or win a decisive battle thousands of miles away like Han Xinxin.

Lin Mo knew that there was still a long way to go.

"Actually, I also want to ask you, why didn't you take out the sand and stone to block the water yesterday?" Lu Lingqi tilted her head and looked at Lin Mo.

"Because I couldn't take it out yesterday." Lin Mo sighed, quite helplessly.

"Is there any difference between yesterday and today?"

"It's really different."

Lin Mo stretched his waist, and said casually: "Trust me, just wait patiently."

"Father believes in you very much."

So you don't believe me?Lin Mo frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Lingqi, who had a reddish complexion reflected by the bonfire.

She didn't explain, but continued: "Besides, Mr. Lu said, you chose this road to lure Liu Xun out of the city."

"Actually, Zijing is only half right."

Lin Mo picked up a piece of grilled mutton and handed it to Lu Lingqi, "With Yue Zhang's current prestige, no matter how hard we fight, we won't lose this battle.

However, the difference in strength between us and Cao Cao is too great. I hope to minimize casualties in this battle, so as to give me more confidence in the future confrontation with Cao Cao. "

The battle in front of him is not over yet, and he is actually planning for the future. His thoughts are indeed profound and far-reaching. Lu Lingqi feels that she can't figure out the man in front of her who is about the same age as her. "What do you mean, there will be fewer casualties in the decisive battle here?"

Lin Mo nodded and said nothing. He looked up at the pitch-black sky, and after a long time, he murmured: "I hope you don't make me wait too long."

Then he stopped talking and gnawed on the roast lamb dully.

Without the chili and cumin, the aroma is reduced by half.

Every time he thinks of his great sailing dream, peppers, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes
The next day, according to Lin Mo's deployment, three thousand soldiers brought burlap bags to the upper reaches and began to cut off the flow.

It is of course impossible to completely dry up the Anhui River, but as the water level dropped, the river section next to Liu Xun's camp was only knee-high, and the river bed and pebbles were even exposed at higher ground.

"It must be that Lubnas blocked the river upstream! It seems that this guy still has some brains, and he wants to use this to waste his geographical advantage." Liu Xun squatted beside the Wanshui, a little out of breath. What a good geographical advantage, is it just gone?
Hearing that he has a son-in-law who is quite talented, this matter is probably his idea, Liu Ye thought in his heart.

"Report!"

A scout quickly ran up to Liu Xun, "Lv Bu's cavalry was found fifteen miles away, no less than a thousand cavalry, coming towards our army!"

Isn't the purpose of intercepting the Wanshui River to pass the time? Liu Xun was not surprised at the arrival of these cavalry, and immediately shouted: "Order three thousand troops, meet the enemy!"

With so few visitors, it would be too embarrassing for Liu Xun not to fight. In fact, he wanted to earn some face back.

What's more, even if the Wanshui can't drown people now, the cavalry can't form a charge here, and the geographical advantage is lowered, but it still exists, and it is naturally full of confidence.

However, with the lessons learned from last time, he also experienced the bravery of the Bingzhou cavalry, and knew that the knives and axes were not enough. This time, the [-] soldiers and horses consisted of [-] spearmen, [-] crossbowmen and [-] shield soldiers. .

"Ten gold rewards for killing one rider! Double the reward for those who are even taller!" Liu Xun personally put on armor to supervise the battle, and issued a reward order.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. After hearing the amount of the reward, the soldiers were all gearing up and eager to try.
