Lu's relatives

Chapter 421 Misunderstood by the exhausted army plan, the plain battle is in danger
Careless!This is Qin Xu's only thought now.It's not that he doubted whether Zhen Jiang's words were a trick, but that someone in Qin underestimated Liu Bei, who had the "pig's foot halo" at the end of Han Dynasty, and Kong Rong, who was rescued by Wang Yue and fled in embarrassment when he failed to plot against Linzi. wise plan.

When playing Dark Rong Three Kingdoms games in the previous life, no matter whether it was Liu Bei or Kong Rong, with an intelligence of less than [-] points, he didn't seem like a character who could make people outstanding in terms of strategy.Moreover, compared to Cao Cao's superiority, Liu Bei's evaluation of the talents of the people is still his own, which makes Qin Xu make the mistake of empiricism, taking it for granted that he has seen through Liu Bei's calculations.

Now calm down and think about it, Guan Yu, who was Liu Bei's righteous brother, was able to hide himself in the scout team and kill the general of the army, which in itself was a not very clever provocative act.It is obvious that they want to attract the attention of the soldiers in Pingyuan City.However, both Qin Xu and Lu Bu subconsciously ignored this point because of Song Xian's sudden death. Even when Jia Xu hesitated, Qin Xu made a hasty decision because of "a flash of inspiration" without even listening to it. In addition, Lu Bu was also in a state of uncontrollable evil, which led to the hasty dispatch of troops.Unexpectedly, the actions that were thought to be extremely secretive still revealed their whereabouts from nowhere. Not to mention the exhausted [-] troops running in vain, and falling into Liu Bei's rough calculations, thinking about it made Qin Xu blush. , It's really embarrassing to the ancestors of the crossing army!
I'm afraid Liu Bei's mouth is almost grinning behind his iconic big ears now?It was rumored that someone from Qin who vomited blood and that the number one fierce general in the world fell for Cao Cao so easily. How could he boast of unparalleled calculations and amazing plans?And Kong Rong, at this moment, I'm afraid he is also secretly happy that he finally reported the hatred of Linzi's miss and capture, right?
"My lord, this matter is all due to Xu Zhi's greedy and rash advances, and he is willing to lead the army to punish him!" Qin Xu did not shirk his responsibility, and admitted it very bachelorly, and said, "It's just that now that Liu Bei has fallen into a trick, it's time to act quickly." Return to the army to control the enemy. The small walls of Pingyuan City are thin, and it is difficult to defend for a long time. In addition, Liu Bei is quite popular, and it is really critical. But now the soldiers are exhausted and the horses are difficult to move. However, depending on the situation, Liu Bei's army has left soon. The lord might as well organize it on the spot Hugh, to regain power, Xu Zi led the soldiers who boarded the camp and returned to the army first, pretending to be a diversion, waiting for the lord's army!"

"Zhongming, I'll be with you!" Before Lu Bu could speak, Lu Lingqi spoke first.Qin Xu wanted to lead his troops back to the plains to take advantage of this loss. Everyone knows the danger. Although Qin Xu has been trained by Lu Lingqi for two years, after all, he has no foundation before. Guan Yu, who was killed by Xian with a single knife, was here, and Qin Xu's departure, in Lu Lingqi's view, was almost the same as sending him to death. In a hurry, Lu Lingqi almost blurted out.

"Heh, since Lu Xun raised his troops in Jiuyuan, when did he need someone else to take it on his behalf?" The conversation between Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi caused Lu Bu to sneer and say, "Besides, boy, you underestimate our soldiers too much! This time, Liu Bei was really lucky enough to succeed with a trick, so why be afraid of him? It's only about fifty miles away, and it's not even a warm-up. Gentlemen, you still have the strength to follow someone back to the plain, so that the big-eared thief Have a look at the might of a certain Lu Bu's soldiers?"

"The general is mighty! Kill back to the plain!"

"The general is mighty! Kill back to the plain!"

The response of the three thousand soldiers made Qin Xu see what personal charm is.Originally, the soldiers in Lu Bu's army really didn't pay much attention to the fifty-mile journey. The reason for their tired faces was mostly due to the exhaustion of climbing the mountain in the dark at night.But now being provoked by Lu Bu's words, coupled with the fact that the sky is already clear, each of them seemed to suddenly burst into vitality, shouting loudly.

"That's it! Back to the soldiers!" The soldier's heart was ready, and Lu Bu didn't wait for Qin Xu to reply, so he rode his horse freely in the forest. The fiery red rabbit was like a ray of fire, heading down the mountain. The Second Battalion of Wei got on their horses immediately, and followed Lu Bu down the mountain one after another, leaving only the troops who went up to the camp headquarters first, and at least they still remembered Qin Xu, waiting for Qin Xu's order.

"Cough! Don't let the brothers of the two battalions underestimate you! I will return to the army quickly!" Qin Xu, who was a little embarrassed by the fiery eyes of Qu Yi and Qian Zhao, immediately issued a military order.Get on the horse, and follow Lu Lingqi to chase Lu Bu.

"Second brother, do you think the eldest brother has heard of Kong Rong's plan, can this plan be successful? I think that Kong Rongyuezu will act on his behalf, and the elder brother ordered me to wait as long as we get the news that Lu Bu is leaving the city. The military order is really true. Arrogant, I had some respect for him at first, but how did I know that this fellow behaved like this, and I don’t know why my elder brother listened to him? If I can’t break through the plain this time, I’ll blame him first when I go back!” When Lu Bu and the others discovered that people in the valley had actually gone to Gukong, at the north gate of Pingyuan City, under the pale sky, a group of more than [-] soldiers appeared quite suddenly.But the head of a big black and strong man looked at the dilapidated city in front of him with a complicated face. complained.

"Third Brother, don't say that!" The green-robed man's face was full of arrogance, and after hearing what the charcoal-like man said, he narrowed his red phoenix eyes and said, "I also saw that Kong Rong was not very good before." It's pleasing to the eye! It's such a big arrogance to come from down and out, but the eldest brother still treats him with courtesy. Only now does someone know that Kong Beihai is indeed worthy of the character who almost took Lu Bu from the bandit camp. He expected it Lu Bu will definitely go east after a certain beheaded the general in his army. What happens now, it’s not all come true. Since there is such a magic calculation, it’s just a little arrogant. This matter should be mentioned here, just write down what elder brother said, and act according to it."

"As the second brother said, I listened to Kong Rong's suggestion. This time, I don't send people to call for battle, but I will attack the city directly?" I can only lower my head and mutter, and go to order the dispatch of soldiers.

"Enemy attack!" On the dilapidated city wall of the plain, with a muffled sound of horns, under the faint sky, thousands of local soldiers suddenly appeared at the north gate like a tide. Just a few people carrying a siege ladder is enough to judge that this group of people came with bad intentions.The soldiers defending the city north at the end of the Yin Dynasty, when ordinary people were most exhausted, seemed to have a sensitivity to the war that had been deeply imprinted in their bones. Waking up trembling, looking out from a distance, seeing this scene, how can I not think that this is probably an enemy army attacking the city.Almost subconsciously, he wounded the wolf smoke on the arrow stack, pushed the comrades past the commander to wake up, and immediately warned the city.

"It's unlucky, I was discovered!" Heitan man was holding the strange weapon Zhangba Snake Spear with the owner's curved blade in his hand. The soldiers on the city wall didn't seem to notice it, and they were happy when they heard the warning horn, and couldn't help but cursed.

The incoming soldiers were naturally considered by Lu Bu's army, including Qin Xu, to be soldiers brought by Liu Bei to harass the plains, and the two leaders were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, whom Qin Xu had been talking about all day long.Originally, according to the temperament of these two brothers, siege and so on are the most boring things, far less exciting than when the two armies confront each other on the plain.However, what Kong Rong said made Liu Bei nod repeatedly, but the two brothers also listened to it.

It was because of Kong Rong's persuasion that Liu Bei left Pingyuan Country and went to Youzhou with hatred.Although it turned out later that it was far easier to go to Youzhou to hang out than to live on the three-acre land of the plain, no matter whether it was military funds or war horses.But the sense of humiliation of "fleeing without fighting" at the beginning lingered in Liu Bei's heart for a long time.However, Kong Rong, who once had a "heart-to-heart" relationship with Liu Bei when he met Liu Bei that day, grasped this point very well, and even used only one sentence to make Liu Bei make up his mind to implement other plans. Before, take the plains at all costs.

"The hero who made the king in the world now has to use martial arts. Although he has to entrust it to Gongsun Zan, his ability is already known to the world. However, the only shortcoming is that he once handed over Pingyuan to the bandits. Hand! Then who is Lu Bu, he will inevitably become a thief of the chaos, but now that the envoy is from the royal family, why not take this opportunity to take back the old land of the Han court that was stolen by that thief? Even the vitality of his army is difficult to hurt, but after all, it will be an 'attitude', an image that makes the king not afraid of Lu Bu's despotic power, even if he does his best, he must try his best to keep the territory of the big man. The queen's plan should also be a very powerful bargaining chip. What's more, this will also be an excellent opportunity to allow the emperor to easily obtain the land of Hebei! Then attack the Central Plains and save the emperor from suffering." It has to be said that although Kong Rong's study of the human heart is different from Liu Bei's acting style of acting with benevolence and tears to influence everyone, as a practical man, Kong Beihai is very good at speaking with facts, even if the facts are It was planned by himself, but after packaging, it was regarded as a great truth by Kong Rong's righteousness.Originally, there were so many things taken for granted in these words, Liu Bei could be regarded as a "big man" who had been in the Jianghu for a few years, sold straw sandals, wore yellow scarves, and participated in the alliance of princes. The forces of our own army, who stayed out of the matter, also got involved in this battle group.

But things happened to be so evil. After Liu Bei listened to Kong Rong's preaching, his original plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight was because of Kong Rong's words to take back the old Han court and rescue the emperor, but it immediately seemed like After being beaten like chicken blood, Kong Rong was immediately attracted as a confidant.And when it comes to targeting Pingyuan and Lu Bu's army, they almost obey Kong Rong's words!Originally, Liu Bei had other plans, but in order to cooperate with Kong Rong's "|strategy" against Lu Bu's army, he gritted his teeth and generaled among the three generals when he had other plans and needed help urgently. My two cousins ​​were sent here, and another [-] cavalry and [-] infantry were sent to assist Kong Rong in "acting".It can be seen that Liu Bei attaches great importance to this matter!
"General Zhang! General Cheng! According to Ma Lai's report, the place where the soldiers are currently attacking is the North Gate. There are more than [-] people. The siege preparations are extremely well-organized, and the sky is already bright, but the soldiers are the most exhausted. Attacking at the right time, it can be seen that the leader of the army must be someone who knows how to fight!" Zhang Liao's small commander of the Pingyuan Auxiliary Army who was in charge of defending the city was hurriedly arranging the defenses such as rolling wood, thunder and stone that had been prepared long ago. arms.It's just that Pingping is difficult to defend, and it is extremely easy to change hands repeatedly, so no one has opened his eyes to attack. Now that he meets such a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense, some necessary things can't be sorted out in a short time. At this moment, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian, who had already had a premonition that something was going to happen because of Lu Bu's hasty departure from the plain, immediately came to see the defense arrangement after hearing the sound of the warning drum, were also inquiring about the situation of the visitor.

"Go and find out where the incoming soldiers belong, and at the same time send a fast horse out of the city to the east to report to the lord!" Zhang Liao is the highest officer in Pingyuan City at the moment, and immediately issued an order in front of Cheng Lian without hesitation: "Old man, you still have to wait." Thank you for your hard work. The plain city is small and the walls are thin, so it is not a place to be guarded for a long time. It is impossible to resist the attack of these 5000 people only with the auxiliary soldiers of my Xiaoqi Battalion in the plain. It can only be regarded as the last line of defense. Now a certain society orders the soldiers here to block at least one stick of incense. You take this opportunity to prepare the soldiers in your headquarters immediately. Later in the same period, you will leave the city from the east and west gates of the plain, and let these soldiers know where to go. I am waiting for the prestige of the iron cavalry under my command."

"Wen Yuan is right! I'm going to mobilize troops!" Cheng Lian was ordered by Zhang Liao, but he didn't feel dissatisfied at all. Seeing that he was getting closer, he was afraid that he would be approaching in dozens of breaths. The bank of the moat outside Pingyuan City could only be used as a decoration, and regardless of the fact that Zhang Liao's official qualifications were shallower than his own, he immediately nodded and said.

"Second brother! Shall I join in the fun too?" Seeing that the soldiers and horses in the headquarters were not far from Pingyuan City, and the soldiers in Pingyuan City had just begun to deploy defenses in a hurry, Zhang Fei's face was so full of disdain that he almost couldn't dispel it. opened.He even regarded the attack on Pingyuan City as a kind of game, and he was eager to fight, and wanted to fight in person.

"Yide must not be reckless! Pingyuan City is small, and it is not difficult to break it. What is difficult is the cavalry of Lu Bu's army in the city. Thinking about Lu Bu, even if he was tricked by Kong Beihai, he would never take all the soldiers and horses out of the city. At this moment There must already be a large army ready to go in the city. And Lu Bu's army is mostly cavalry, and the north gate is blocked, so they will definitely come from the east and west gates. You and my brothers will be busy later, so why should you care about this matter? "Guan Yu squinted his Danfeng eyes, looked helplessly at his brother who was only thinking about having a good time, but still patiently explained: "And our army only has 5000 people now, at least compared with the Lu Bu soldiers in the city. Half of it is less, and most of it is used for siege, so it depends on Yide's bravery, but don't be careless!"

"Second brother, don't worry!" Hearing what Guan Yu said so clearly, Zhang Fei didn't dwell on this issue, but instead asked, "It's just that since second brother has already known which three surnamed slaves are in the city at this moment The number of soldiers left behind, but why did they only bring such a small number of troops here? Could it be that Kong Rong deliberately made things difficult for you, Second Brother?"

"Sandi, if the eldest brother hears what you said, I will probably have to blame you!" Seeing that Zhang Fei, who has always respected the scholar-officials, for some reason, always finds Kong Rong very unpleasant, Guan Yu squinted his eyes and shook his head. , proudly chuckled and said: "This time, I will not do anything about Kong Beihai. Though Lu Bu is brave, the soldiers under his command are not made of iron and bronze. Why should we be afraid of him? Besides, if Lu Bu is here, you and I It's useless to bring more soldiers, but if Lu Bu's plan is not here, with the bravery of you and my brother, what's the use of so many soldiers? It's better to leave more soldiers and horses for the elder brother, the enemy he has to face is several times greater than You and I have only Zilong as a confidant general by our side, bringing more soldiers and horses can be regarded as more protection."

"Well, what the second brother said is very true!" Mentioning the boss Liu Bei, Zhang Fei immediately nodded and said yes. He never mentioned the matter of his own number of soldiers, but raised the Zhangba Snake Spear, and watched the progress. In addition to the soldiers of the army who were besieging the city, he ordered the general to prepare the five hundred soldiers and horses of the headquarters that he had led this time, and focused his attention on what Guan Yu said just now. It is very likely that they will appear on both sides of Pingyuan City. On the "reinforcements" of Lu Bu's army who were attacking the siege soldiers.

"Brothers, General Guan and General Zhang have promised that they will be the first to break the city wall, and the reward will be [-] catties! The reward is generous, but is anyone willing to go and get it with me!" The soldiers who rushed to the front laid the siege ladder horizontally , Across the moat outside the city on the plain that is no more than ten feet deep and no wider than a horse leaps, jump in the already dry river channel and hold on to the horizontal ladder so that the soldiers behind can rush under the city wall.And the soldiers of Liu Bei's army rushing to the forefront were about to connect with Pingyuan City, and the arrows of the soldiers on the city wall were also densely packed. Many of the soldiers rushing to the forefront carrying the siege ladder had already Being nailed to the ground, even the comrades behind him were also crushed to the ground, becoming a living target. Some of them who were not yet completely dead let out bursts of desperate roars, which made the footsteps of the people behind them slow down a lot involuntarily. At this moment, the supervising officer who followed these vanguard soldiers shouted at the right time the promise that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made before the battle, and perhaps these people who rushed to the front would never get it.
