Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 35 Ding Yuan lures the enemy
Chapter 35 Ding Yuan lures the enemy

When these people arrived, they saw Lu Bu staring at a dead body in a daze, thinking that Lu Bu was depressed because he failed to catch up with Yu Fuluo.So they didn't dare to speak. These people must be Lu Bu's subordinates. Although Lu Bu usually doesn't restrain them very much, there is still a rule.

Although Gao Shun was not Lu Bu's general, after seeing Lu Bu's bravery, he naturally ranked himself behind Lu Bu.This has nothing to do with Lu Bu being Ding Yuan's son.It is entirely because Lu Bu's strength has been recognized by Gao Shun.

Lu Bu looked up at the people who were looking at him, and said with a sassy smile, "What are you all looking at me for? Is there a flower on my face?"

Looking at the crowd looking at him, Lu Bu said with some self-deprecation.

Seeing Lu Bu joking, everyone naturally laughed.

After laughing, Gao Shun just cupped his fists and said to Lu Bu solemnly: "General Lu, the battlefield has been cleaned up. More than 2000 people in my department died in battle, and the remaining 2000 people are already ready to go, waiting for the general's orders at any time."

As soon as Gao Shun reported the situation on the battlefield, Song Xian and Wei Xu also immediately cupped their hands and said to Lu Bu: "My lord, the two of us have collected more than a thousand soldiers in the past few days, all of them are strong and healthy. We can fight."

Seeing that others were reporting, Bu Dugen blinked, stepped forward a little embarrassed and cupped his hands and said, "My honorable master, I still have 28 warriors under my command."

When they heard the number Bu Dugen said, all the generals couldn't help scoffing.There are thousands of people at every turn, and the worst ones bring hundreds of people. It is really impossible for Bu Dugen to take these few people with him.

However, Lu Bu first patted Bu Dugen on the shoulder and said, "Brothers worked hard yesterday, so go back and tell them that I, Lu Bu, gave them ten Hun slaves."

Hearing that Lu Bu had given ten slaves to his own people, Bu Dugen's expression brightened all of a sudden.Just didn't leave.Of course Lu Bu understood that Bu Dugen was asking for a reward.There's no way foreigners are so snobbish, it's too early to be unprofitable.

So Lu Bu smiled again, and said to Bu Dugen, "Go and get a hundred slaves yourself."

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Bu Dugen finally smiled and went to his men to convey the good news.

Seeing Bu Dugen go away, Gao Shun asked Lu Bu with a strange face: "The general is just a few Xianbei people, why should the general be so polite to them?"

After listening to Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu said indifferently, "It's just a small benefit, not a big deal. Besides, they helped me when I needed it the most. Human nature should never forget its roots."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, all the generals looked at Lu Bu more eagerly.

It was Lu Bu who turned his head and asked Gao Shun, "How many prisoners have been captured this time?"

After Gao Shun thought for a while, he said, "There were 1000 prisoners. But now there are only more than [-]."

Hearing Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu opened his eyes wide in shock and asked Gao Shun, "How did this happen?"

Gao Shun grinned and said, "Isn't this normal, General Lu? In wars, fewer people are killed and more wounded. Now the wounded soldiers in our army are short of medical care, and there is no way to heal them. Feel free to For the prisoners, we can only keep the slightly wounded ones and deal with the seriously wounded ones, so that's how it is."

Only then did Lu Bu truly understand what war is and what cruelty is.If killing people on the battlefield is a last resort, then what is the purpose of killing people after the war, or even killing more people?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu simply said something.

"The big battle over Wuyuan City is about to start, everyone get ready and hurry over there right away."

But he said that when Ding Yuan led his troops to Wuyuan City, he was worrying about how to surround Wuyuan City.

There is a saying in the art of war: double and attack, ten and encircle.That is to say: Only when the enemy's army is ten times larger can he dare to surround the enemy's city.Now Ding Yuan has another 2 troops, although the number is several thousand more than that of Nasu Bu Gudu Hou Shanyu.However, if he wanted to use these 1 troops to encircle a city guarded by another [-] people, Ding Yuan would still be sweating for himself.

Ding Yuan was thinking hard about how to arrange his troops, but a soldier came up to report: "My lord, the Huns have left the city and are heading towards our army."

Upon hearing this, the Huns left the fortified city on their own initiative.Ding Yuan was happy for a while, but soon Ding Yuan's face became gloomy again.He said to himself: "It seems that the Huns are going to fight me in a field battle. If they want to fight in the field, they will fight in the field. Could it be that I, Ding Yuan, are afraid that I will not be satisfied with these things."

Thinking of this, Ding Yuan ordered: "Order the three armies to form an array to meet the enemy."

Outside the north gate of Wuyuan City, on the vast plain.The Han army and the Huns each formed a square and faced each other.

Ding Yuan organized his 5000 soldiers and horses into three phalanxes, with 1 cavalry phalanxes on both wings and [-] infantry phalanxes in the middle.Ding Yuan's central army was just behind the infantry phalanx.

The purpose of Ding Yuan's arrangement is very simple, to attract the enemy to attack from the front.Use your own archers hidden in the infantry phalanx to consume a large number of Huns cavalry.

Compared with the neat formation of the Han army, the formation of the Huns is somewhat nondescript.It is said that it is a formation, but it is actually a column with their respective leaders as the core.

The Huns' Xubugudu Hou Shanyu, surrounded by all the generals, came down to the battlefield, looked at Ding Yuan's formation, laughed and said: "This Ding Yuan really has a false name, thinking that the soldiers are arranged like this. To go, is to form an army? Let's see how I will take his life."

Speaking of Xubugudu Hou Shanyu, he divided his 1 Hun cavalry into three teams, each with 500 people, and attacked the two wings of the Han army and the infantry phalanx respectively.

But Hou Bugudu Shanyu himself brought the remaining [-] Xiongnu elite cavalry.Mixed in the team attacking the infantry phalanx, the driver attacked Ding Yuan's central army.

After everything was ready, Xubugudu Hou Shanyu beckoned to the back, and a dark-skinned man came in front of Xubuguduhou Shanyu.

This person bowed his hand to Xubugudu Hou Shanyu, he laughed and said: "Shanyu, do you want me to go out and kill these Han people without leaving any?"

Xu Bugudu Hou Shanyu also laughed and said: "Tenger, you lead people to charge from the left and smash the left wing of the Han army to me."

"Yes." Tengger answered, got up on his horse, and raised the saber in his hand.He said loudly, "Brothers, come with me to get the head of the Han dog."

After speaking, Tengger rushed out first.Behind Tengger, [-] Huns cavalry, rolling like hesitant waves, rushed towards the Han army in a wave.

Seeing the left wing of the Huns rushing over.Ding Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, he stretched out his hand and waved in the air, only to see the flag flutter, but the cavalry on the left wing of the Han army didn't go up to meet it, but retreated quietly.At the same time, the infantry phalanx in the middle changed a lot. From the infantry phalanx in the middle, teams of shield soldiers and archers appeared occasionally, occupying the positions that the cavalry retreated just now.

The Han army has just completed its transformation.The Huns over there rushed over.

When there was still room for an arrow between the two armies, the archers of the Han army launched the attack first.The Han army had just finished firing a shower of arrows, and the Huns' feathered arrows had to fly into the sky one by one.Fortunately, every archer in the Han army has a shield soldier next to them, which can help the archers resist the incoming arrows.

Just when the archers on the side of the Han army began to shoot feather arrows at the Hun cavalry rushing up.Standing in front of the Huns' formation, Xu Bugudu Hou Shanyu showed a slight smile, which was evil but also very proud.

Following this smile, Xubugudu Hou Shanyu yelled: "The army will charge with me."

At the same time Xu Bu Gu Du Hou Shanyu lifted the reins of the horse and rushed over first.

It turned out that the reason why Hou Bugudu Shanyu asked Tengger to attack first was to test Ding Yuan's depth.But Xubugudu Hou Shanyu didn't expect that this Ding Yuan was so incompetent.

Originally, hiding bows and arrows among the infantry was not a secret, and Xubugudu Hou Shanyu had already thought of it.But what Hou Bu Gudu Hou Shanyu didn't expect was that Ding Yuan actually showed his trump card so early.

If the infantry phalanx of the Han army was protected by archers, the Houbu Gudu Hou Shanyu would naturally be a little worried.Archers must be very lethal to cavalry.But now the Han army has withdrawn the archers.Then the infantry of the Han army placed in front of the Chinese army, isn't he Xubu Guduhou Shanyu's dish?
