Great Military Division

Chapter 236 Cao Mengde, what ability do you have to win the favor of King Hongnong!
Lu Bu fled west, causing the defense line to collapse.

Although, Liu Chong took his soldiers and horses and went to chase Lu Bu.

but
Guo Si is very clear.

With the current strength alone, it would be difficult to break through the encirclement.

However, Guo Si will not accept his fate, and his anger will not allow him to accept his fate easily.

look back.

Staring at the soldiers and horses behind the broken bridge.

The fighting spirit in Guo Bang's chest suddenly exploded like dry wood hitting sparks.

The possibility of breaking through the frontal siege is indeed slim.

However, with the current situation, it is still possible to break through to another bridge deck close to the river bank.

In this way, as long as he can hold the bridgehead next door, Li Jue can lead his troops to support. With enough follow-up force, it is really possible to break through the encirclement.

Accept fate?

snort!
I, from Xiliang, never accept my fate.

Otherwise, why did we go from the bitter cold of the border county to the fertile area of ​​the Central Plains!
Now that I've come here, I'm desperately trying to change my fate!

puff!
Guo Bang hacked a soldier to death with a knife, his chest was ignited with a fierce fighting spirit, and he couldn't stop churning.

Holding the Huan Shou Dao high, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, although Lu Bu abandoned us, how can we abandon ourselves and hold your spear and Huan Shou Dao tightly."

"Follow me!"

Guo Si's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it spread across the battlefield on the north bank of Dangshui in an instant: "Clash again, even if you die, you will die on the way to charge!"

"kill-!"

This roar.

Like a spring thunder bursting out of his mouth, a thunderbolt throbbed from the tip of his tongue.

It even rebuilt the morale that collapsed in an instant.

Especially the soldiers beside Guo Bang were infected by his ferocious fighting spirit. They held up their weapons one by one, followed Guo Bang's footsteps, and launched the final charge:

"kill-!"

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Holding the Huan Shou knife, Guo Si dashed forward and broke through more than ten steps in succession.

All the soldiers were shocked by his bravery.

Will not hesitate to die, soldiers must use their lives!
Now that it has been surrounded, why can't it fight again.

"kill-!"

The screams of killing were terrifying.

Under the leadership of Guo Bang, the soldiers and horses on the north bank broke out with a monstrous fighting spirit.

Whether it's a sign of a reversal against the trend, or a flash in the pan, it doesn't matter if it's a flash in the pan!
Anyway!

At this moment, the troops headed by Guo Si, like a sharp sword, rushed towards the other bridge, and within a short moment, they rushed forward for more than ten steps.

"Brothers, go to the next bridge, hold it, and buy time for the army to cross the bridge."

"Go forward, keep going, keep going, don't stop!"

"kill-!"

Seeing this scene, Li Min, who thought he was determined to win, was shocked.

He couldn't believe that Guo Bang, who was in a desperate situation, could explode such a powerful combat power.

Even though Li Min didn't have much actual combat experience, he learned a lot from King Hongnong along the way.

He deeply understands.

This arrogance must be suppressed in a short period of time.

Otherwise, it is bound to affect the morale of one's own side.

"Captain Zhang!"

"Where is Captain Zhang?"

Li Min shouted at the top of his voice, looking around.

"The end is here."

In the crowd, a voice sounded.

Li Min followed the reputation.

but see
Captain Zhang An is directing the battle, and is very close to Guo Si.

Li Min was overjoyed, and ordered sonorously: "Stop this beast for me, and be sure to kill it."

Zhang An had long wanted to behead the general and make meritorious deeds, so how could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "Don't worry, the county guard, I will leave it to the last general."

"brothers."

Zhang An waved his hand fiercely, and said hoarsely, "Follow me to surround and kill this beast."

All the soldiers immediately shouted: "Kill!"

At this moment, the North Shore battlefield exploded again.

Li Jue, who was on the south bank, couldn't help being stunned by the fierce battle.

He has been a colleague of Guo Si for decades, and plays a pivotal role in Dong Zhuo's tent.

Although the two are the most powerful competitors, they often quarrel and blush because of their different views, but in private, they have a deep friendship and an extremely close relationship.

Now, Guo Bang launched a charge on the opposite bank, and charged in the opposite direction against the river bank.

Such a suicidal attack immediately attracted Li Jue's attention, and in an instant, he understood the opponent's strategic intentions.

"Dry!"

The fighting spirit in Li Jue's heart also burned.

He turned his head and looked back at the generals, without hesitation, he ordered sonorously: "Brothers, come with me, change the bridge, and continue to break through."

Clang!

Li Jue drew his sword out of its sheath.

At this moment, he decided to go into battle with injuries, opening up a new way of survival for the army: "Kill—!"

The soldiers on the south bank quickly regained their composure, followed Li Jue's footsteps, and went straight to the east side of the bridge:
"General, let me take the lead!"

"You are injured, let me protect you."

"Let's kill Luo Yang together!"

"kill-!"

"."

All the soldiers and horses flocked to the bridge on the east side.

According to the previous strategy of breaking out of the encirclement, the first step is to charge on foot, and after opening up a way to survive, cross the bridge on horseback.

Without Li Jue's dispatch, all the soldiers went into an orderly offensive.

now.

On the mountainside of Mang Mountain.

Even Liu Bian himself couldn't help but marvel at it: "Xiliang Xiaoqi is really powerful, he can regain his composure in a short period of time, and has a clear goal, and the counterattack is swift and fierce, which is indeed very human."

"Yes."

Xun Yu took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, nodded lightly and said, "The soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo's tent are very experienced in actual combat, let alone such giants as Li Jue and Guo Si."

“But it's a pity”

Turning the subject, Xun Yu said confidently: "They have limited troops and the impact of the disaster of the broken bridge. It is absolutely impossible for them to fight as usual. It is just a fight between trapped beasts."

"As long as Li Min and Xu Yan can defend the north bank, and when Zhang Liao, Deng Zhi, and Han Dang attack from the rear, under the attack from the front and back, no matter how strong the Xiliang Xiaoqi is, they will definitely be defeated!"

Liu Bian nodded approvingly: "That's right! The defeat is over, and the thief has no power to recover."

At this moment, the voice of the Military Division Alliance sounded: "Li Jue and Guo Si are indeed generals. This battle has allowed experts to see their commander-in-chief talents."

"Next, the experts will re-analyze the characters based on their specific performance, and try to make the most fair and objective evaluation, without any position."

Liu Bian had a thought: "Li Jue and Guo Si are indeed powerful. Even as an opponent, I somewhat admire them psychologically. It is really rare to be able to counterattack under such circumstances."

Written historical materials are scarce, and it is difficult to be truly objective. They will somewhat contain the subjective consciousness of some authors, which will lead to non-objective evaluation.

But in the live broadcast room, the experts' analysis of any opponent is all based on historical materials, verified on the battlefield, and finally come up with the most fair and impartial evaluation.

This battle has truly overturned and reshaped the experts' understanding of Li Jue and Guo Si.

And from the performance of the two of them in this battle, it can be inferred from the side that the actual combat effectiveness of Dong Zhuo's direct troops can even be reminiscent of Dong Zhuo's strength and infinite glory in Liangzhou in the early days.

*****
Luoyang City.

Walls collapsed, houses collapsed, and there was nothing but ruins.

Although Zhang Liao could still imitate the prosperity of Luoyang from the ruins, but the comparison of these two made him even more furious, wishing to kill all Xiliang thieves.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Liao tried his best to keep calm so as not to affect the next command battle.

Originally, street fighting was the infantry's advantage, and they could use complex terrain conditions, such as laneways, houses, windows, etc., to ambush Xiliang Xiaoqi.

But now.
Pieces of ruins are more like slightly undulating hills.

This is actually more advantageous for cavalry combat, not only has a very wide field of vision, but even reduces the possibility of encountering an ambush, allowing you to gallop more recklessly.

If Han Dang were here, he could have led the cavalry to start a battle where cavalry controlled cavalry and had an absolute advantage. However, Han Dang is still at the east gate. For a short time, he can only rely on Zhang Liao himself to support him.

"Damn!"

Staring at the cavalry who came from not far away, Zhang Liao secretly chewed.

Although the opponent's troops were not many, only a few hundred cavalry, Zhang Liao still couldn't fight recklessly, otherwise the damage would be huge.

He quickly made a decision based on the other party's galloping route:
"Zhang Zhen!"

"Don't worry, general, leave it to the last general."

Before Zhang Liao opened his mouth to give an order, Zhang Zhen rushed out and shouted sharply: "Brothers, follow me, relying on the favorable terrain, form an array to meet the enemy!"

Zhang Zhennai is Zhang Liao's old subordinate.

Since he was in Bingzhou, he has been following Zhang Liao.

He can understand every decision of Zhang Liao.

The way of playing cavalry has experienced too much along the way. Zhang Zhen is proficient in this way, so there is no need to repeat it.

At that moment, Zhang Zhen led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and rushed straight to the direction where the cavalry came.

His eyes scanned the ruins on both sides.

There is a spacious road in the middle, and there are ruins of shops on both sides. There is a certain height difference, which is very suitable for blocking.

"Right here!"

Without any explanation, Zhang Zhen made a decisive decision, gave the order sonorously, and raised the spear in his hand.

Then, a large number of shield soldiers emerged from behind and formed an array in front of them. In an instant, a simple shield line of defense appeared and quickly extended to both sides.

Zhang Liao was extremely satisfied with Zhang Zhen's site selection.

Meanwhile, he continued to order:

"Deng Zhan!"

"exist."

"Lead the crossbowmen and lead the crossbowmen behind them. Choose the opportunity to provide crossbow support and suppress the cavalry's charge."

"promise."

"Niu Yong!"

"exist."

"You and I each lead an army, weave around from the left and right wings, and move to the rear at the fastest speed."

"promise."

Just as Zhang Liao led his troops to start a detour.

The cavalry led by Li Ying was about to reach the shield formation.

Although Xiliang Xiaoqi had suffered a lot in this battle, with the current strength of Zhang Zhen's troops, it was impossible in Li Ying's eyes to stop the cavalry's charge.

"Unbelievable!"

Li Ying chewed it up secretly, and immediately gave an order clangingly: "Brothers, follow me while the footing is unstable!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

A strong cry of killing sounded.

Xiliang Xiaoqi crouched on the horse, holding the spear in one hand, letting it protrude as far as possible.

If it was a steel shield, it might be able to stop the cavalry from charging, but the rattan player in Zhang Zhen's hand wanted to stop the cavalry from charging, it was wishful thinking.

Li Ying didn't hesitate at all, and the horse was about to charge into the shield formation.

but
Just when it was only about twenty steps away from the shield formation.

Zhang Zhen ordered sharply: "Throw!"

call!call!call!
In an instant, two barbed caltrops were thrown towards the front.

Although the number is not large, there are at least a thousand barbed caltrops in the army formation of hundreds of people.

They were scattered on the ground in an orderly manner, forming a simple formation of barbed wire.

"not good!"

Li Ying stared like a bell, his face turned green with fright.

He couldn't believe it.

The opponent was actually carrying something like barbed caltrops with him, no wonder he dared to face the charge of the cavalry, so he was already prepared.

"stop-!"

Li Ying gave an urgent order and at the same time reined in.

In the next second, Xixu's horse cries sounded one after another.

The front row is like a conditioned reflex to rein in the horse.

But no matter how urgent it is, for a war horse running at high speed, it still needs a certain braking distance.

Many war horses stepped on the caltrops, and the sharp edges pierced the cuticle of the soles of the hooves and penetrated into the flesh. The pain caused the horses to tremble, and they were unable to stand stably. Many war horses broke their front hooves, and fell to the ground .

At the same time, the crossbowmen led by Deng Zhan were also in place. They quickly twirled their bows and set their arrows, and they had no time to aim.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The arrows hit like overwhelming, and there was a burst of people shouting and neighing like thunder.

The sudden change made the brave knight soldiers who came from behind frightened.

Look up.

Army Sima Li Ying was shot by several arrows, and died tragically in a pool of blood.

The opponent's crossbowmen have already begun to extend to both sides, obviously wanting to occupy the high ground and launch arrow attacks.

Although the high ground in the ruins is only about Zhang Xu, and there are natural slopes on both sides, such a terrain is not difficult for the cavalry, but after experiencing such a tragic surprise attack, they were terrified in their hearts and could not avoid it. war.

"withdraw!"

"Quick retreat—!"

I don't know who shouted.

Xiliang Xiaoqi began to turn around one after another.

It was precisely because of this turning around that it strengthened their determination to retreat.

Because Zhang Liao, who made a detour from the left, was already ahead of them. As long as he reached the next intersection, he could outflank them and completely block them on this road.

"Quick retreat, the thief is making a detour."

"Hurry up, everyone, get out of the city!"

"Go out of the city and fight with him!"

"."

Boom~~
The sound of hoofs rolled away.

Zhang Liao, who was riding his horse around, snorted coldly: "Hmph, I'm so vulnerable, I'm not worried."

Niu Yong caught up and stared at Xiliang Xiaoqi who was fleeing: "Damn it! The battle achievements in hand are gone."

Zhang Liao smiled: "Don't worry, the direction of the north gate is not so easy to end, let's rush there now, maybe we can still have a drink of soup."

Niu Yong nodded: "What the general said is true. Although we are the farthest from the north gate, we will never be the last to arrive."

"The order!"

Zhang Liao made a decisive decision and ordered sonorously: "Target the north gate, move forward at full speed."

Niu Yong cupped his hands: "No."

*****
Luoyang North Gate.

On the way to Shanglin Garden.

Lu Bu rode his horse and galloped, looking back and staring, the soldiers and horses following him were less than a thousand.

Although there are two to three thousand soldiers and horses crossing the bridge, there are actually not many soldiers and horses belonging to the wolf cavalry. After subtracting some soldiers without horses, it is lucky to have a thousand cavalry.

"Where is Song Xian?"

Lu Bu shouted loudly, looking around.

"The end is here."

Yiqi chased up from the side: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Lu Bu asked anxiously, "Army commander-level officers, has anyone crossed the bridge?"

Song Xian sighed: "Only the last general and Wei Xu crossed the bridge. Cao Sima was in charge of the rear army and failed to cross the bridge."

"Wei Xu?"

Lu Bu's tiger eyes scanned all directions: "Where are the others?"

Song Xian replied: "He is in charge of the rear, but Liu Chong bites tighter. Maybe he wants to ambush our army in Shanglinyuan. After all, his camp is here. Presumably there are still some soldiers left behind."

"Humph!"

Lu Bu snorted angrily, his fighting spirit burning fiercely: "This general is worried that he has no place to spread fire, and he still wants to surround and kill my wolf cavalry? You can't control yourself!"

"The order!"

Lu Bu gave an order: "The whole army forms a battle formation, charge quickly, don't give the thieves a chance to react, and kill Shanglinyuan as quickly as possible!"

"Lord!"

Song Xian, on the other hand, had a carefree expression: "After we are killed, do we still want to go to Dong Zhuo? Now that Li Jue and Guo Si are sure to die, my lord will vote for Dong Zhuo again, and I'm afraid it will not end well."

Have to admit.

Song Xian's concerns are reasonable.

Lu Bu frowned, and asked tentatively, "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Song Xian gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "My lord, don't you have the letter of surrender from King Hongnong? Why don't we take refuge with King Hongnong?"

Lu Bu was slightly startled: "Take refuge with King Hongnong?"

Song Xian nodded: "That's right! Now that Dong Zhuo is defeated, King Hongnong will definitely return to the palace. Even a person like Zhang Liao can become King Hongnong's arm, let alone you, my lord?"

hiss-!
Lu Bu gasped, slightly moved.

Seeing that Lu Bu had no objection, Song Xian continued with the whole ship: "My lord, think about it. Since King Hongnong escaped from Luoyang, it has only been more than half a year. How can there be any elite soldiers under his command?"

"If the lord surrenders at this moment, for King Hongnong, he must be a rare general. King Hongnong will definitely regard the general as a treasure, even surpassing Zhang Liao and Sun Jian."

"After all, when you were at Dagu Pass back then, General, you alone fought against the two mighty generals under King Hongnong. Since King Hongnong wanted to help the Han family, how could he miss such a mighty general like the lord?"

Lu Bu took a deep breath and raised his head confidently.

He has absolute confidence in his own bravery.

Moreover, Song Xian was right. He had a surrender letter from King Hongnong, which proved that King Hongnong was interested in him.

"This"

Lu Bu hesitated.

Of course, he also has his own confusion: "This general ignored King Hongnong's surrender letter at the beginning, but now he surrenders when he is destitute, may King Hongnong allow me?"

"this."

Song Xian frowned, unable to answer.

After all, for King Hongnong, if he failed to surrender last time, it was already a rejection.

Now he is on the verge of death, but he wants to use this to drag out an existence.

It's hard to say how King Hongnong will deal with it.

"The end will not know."

Song Xian shook his head regretfully.

"How about this!"

However, Lu Bu made a decision: "After we break out of the siege and regain our freedom, we will come to surrender. If King Hongnong refuses, we will return to Guanzhong."

"There is a way to advance and retreat."

Song Xian nodded, deeply agreeing: "That's very good."

Lu Bu cheered up: "In this battle, we must show the prestige of our wolf cavalry, so that King Hongnong will know how powerful we are, and it may be beneficial to the future surrender."

Song Xian nodded and nodded: "My lord, don't worry, we will do our best."

drive-!
Hurry up.

Lu Bu took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

The wolf riders behind him jumped up and followed Lu Bu, galloping all the way.

Soon, they arrived near Shanglin Garden.

The surrounding roads are all blocked by horses and branches, so they can only move forward.

Lu Bu was not afraid at all, knowing that Liu Chong's camp was ahead, he still rushed forward bravely, regardless of everything.

as predicted.

He rode his horse and galloped for a while.

In front of him, a majestic camp appeared in front of him.

At the end of the field of vision, panicked soldiers are responding, and the gate is gradually closing.

drive-!
While clamping the horse's belly fiercely, Lu Bu put away his spear, took out the carved bow from under the saddle, adjusted his breathing while twirling the bow and nodding an arrow, and aimed at the soldier who was closing the door.

Whoosh!
Arrows are like stars, whizzing towards them.

Inside the gate, the soldiers who were pushing the gate fell down in response.

"what!"

The soldiers beside him were horrified.

Look up.

Lu Bu's war horse was at least a hundred paces away from the gate of the camp.

Could it be that Lu Bu has the ability to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps?

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Before the stunned soldiers could react, two streamers followed one after another, one left and one right, and the two soldiers fell down in response, and it took only a few breaths of time before and after.

"This this."

The soldiers who were closing the door were stunned.

He stared, sweating all over, his body trembling like sifting chaff, and the signal of fleeing was sent in his mind, but the two legs seemed to be poured with lead water, and they couldn't move at all.

that's it.
He watched helplessly as a little bit of cold light flew towards him like a streamer from a distance of a hundred steps away.

And in his mind, there was a feeling of inescapability and inescapability, he could only let the whistling stream of light hit the upper door, stare down on the spot, and die.

Hee woo hoo-!
The red dodder horse raised its head and neighed, as if challenging the soldiers in the camp.

Pong!
Lu Bu smashed open the gate with a spear, galloped his horse in, opened and closed the spear in his palm, and took the lives of those who came to surround him one after another:

"I am Lu Bu, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

A roar like thunder exploded in the camp.

Lu Bu galloped through the enemy army on horseback, stabbing with the spear in his palm like a gust of wind one after another, whether it was the heart, throat, or face, in short, all of them were vital, killing him with one move without delay.

Originally, he wanted to line up to meet the enemy and resist the soldiers for a while, but he lost his position in an instant, panicked, and was violently beaten by the wolf cavalry soldiers who followed.

Liu Chong, who was chasing from behind, stared at his own camp, and the wolf rider flew past, leaving only a piece of corpse.

In the hands of King Hongnong, the wolf cavalry who had been crushed repeatedly turned his camp into a mess.

Without comparison, there is no harm!

The record that King Chen Liu Chong was so proud of collapsed at this moment.

He finally understood.

It wasn't that he was good, but that King Hongnong had a good strategy to defeat the wolf cavalry.

If you rely on your own strength alone, you can only be hanged and beaten, and you have no strength to fight back.

Urge-!
Liu Chong reined in his horse, looked up at the back of the wolf rider, and said secretly:
"Cao Mengde, I just want to see what you have to win the favor of King Hongnong."
