Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 43
"General, twenty miles ahead is Qu'acheng!" a junior high school officer reported to Pioneer Official Lejiuhui.

"Send orders to all the troops to set up camp five miles outside the city." Lejiu said.

"Wait a minute! General Le, you and I are also generals in Huainan. Now we are leading three thousand cavalry as the vanguard. Even if we cannot sweep across Wu, it would be embarrassing if we are only responsible for setting up strongholds, right?" Li Feng, who came with him, said at this time.

"This... what do you think of General Liang?" Lejiu asked after hesitating.

For these three thousand cavalry, the vanguard officers were happy to serve, and Li Feng and Liang Gang were commanders of other departments. Under Yuan Shu's command, the three of them were indeed "generals" second only to Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui. Some are unconvinced - why am I not as good as General Zhang and General Qiao?
"Now that our morale is strong and the soldiers' physical strength is not very high, attacking the city is not advisable, but it is better to go to the outside of the city to call for formation. If they dare not accept the challenge, their morale will be reduced. If they dare to come out... Haha, say Maybe we can make a head start first!" Liang Gang said insightfully.

It is true that continuous failure to fight will affect the morale of the army - not to mention the psychological impact on the real generals. Just the decline in the morale of Ji Zao soldiers can significantly reduce the combat effectiveness.

Unless they are soldiers with special attributes such as "Danyang Elite Soldiers", or experienced warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles, or a prefect like Lu Kang who is popular among the people and is stationed in place, they will not be affected when they huddle up to defend. smaller.

"Yes, no matter how strong Lu Bu is, his troops are limited after all, and most of them are new soldiers, which is not enough to provide evidence." Li Feng agreed.

Le thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he directly ordered the primary school who sent the message to go down and rest where he was, and prepare to attack Qu'a!

This is also the result of the three people's confidence gradually increasing along the way—before arriving at Qu'a City, Bai Tu gave up on the other small counties passing by before arriving at Qu'a City, and let the opponent come to Qu'e for a battle.

Ling Lejiu and others felt even more that Bai Tu had a guilty conscience...

And when the news that the opponent was resting twenty miles away but showed no signs of setting up camp was sent back to Qu'acheng, Lu Bu sneered with a mixture of pride and annoyance - their vanguard really wanted to come directly. war?
"My lord, if they call for formation in the future, they must be restrained when they go out to fight. Don't scare people. If Huainan really retreats at every step, it will be us who are in trouble." Chen Gong said with a bitter smile.

"Don't worry, I won't break the hard drive." Lu Bu said.

Two hours later, three thousand cavalry slowly pressed down on the city—it is not impossible to really attack the city, they are cavalry, no matter how inflated they are, they will not dismount and attack the city.

Seeing the joy, he rode forward on his horse (the engine started) and shouted from the city: "Lü Bu! You have bullied the imperial officials, persecuted Jiangdong, and plundered the people. You have become angry and resentful. My lord Yuan Shu specially sent us to welcome Lord Bai back... Now... The heavenly soldiers have arrived, why don’t you just surrender and capture them?”

When Yuan Shu got his name, he still accused Lu Bu of coercing Bai Tu, and nominally wanted to "invite" Bai Tu to return to Shouchun - after all, he wanted to proclaim himself emperor last year, but was rejected by Yan Xiang, and now he still has to cover up his affairs with a fig leaf.

"Yuan Shu brought trouble to the prefectures and counties, and brought trouble to the Jianghuai River. Don't make any mistakes!" Bai Tu shouted from the city.

"Hahaha, Master Bai has lost his mind? It doesn't matter. When Shouchun comes, my lord will ask a doctor for you..." Lejiu said simply.

Anyway, the name has been given, so Lejiu doesn't really want to fool anyone, he just wants to get a name first. When it comes to talking about it, in fact, no one on both sides believes it.

"Lu Bu! Do you dare to go out of the city to fight?" Le asked directly.

At the same time, he whispered to Liang Gang and Li Feng: "Liu Guan and Zhang, under Hulao Pass, are three against one. There is nothing to be ashamed of..."

"Don't worry, General, I'll understand later!" Li Feng and Liang Gang were also making preparations.

Although they all underestimated Lu Bu, they did not have the confidence of Sun Ce...

"Huainan thieves..." A gleam of disdain flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.

But at this moment, Tai Shici on the side said: "General Lu, why do you need a knife to kill a chicken? I will go meet him!"

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this. Bai Tu had already said, "That's fine, Ziyi, let's go!"

Bai Tu was also thinking about Lu Bu. After all... this guy looked too good, and he was afraid that Lu Bu wouldn't be able to act.

Taishi Ci, who was on the front foot, had just unfolded his armor, started the engine, and jumped off the tower. Lu Bu, who was on the back foot, muttered: "Why do these words sound familiar? It's like what Hua Xiong said in Luoyang before..."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he realized that everyone around him was looking at him, and he said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Ahem, that's not what I meant. Ziyi is much better than that old man Hua Xiong."

Yes, Hua Xiong said the same thing when he was in Luoyang. Later he went to Hulao Pass and was chopped into pieces by Guan Yu...

Bai Tu wasn't nervous at all, but he was a little panicked by Lu Bu's flag.

"Hey! Everyone who comes here has a name... I am Lejiu, the general of Huainan. I will not kill the nameless ghost with my sword!" Lejiu couldn't help but shouted when he saw that it was not Lu Bu who came down.

"Under Bai Shijun's command, the school captain Taishi Ci." Taishi Ci's official name was serious, and he didn't mean to show off his authority. He just looked at it calmly and enjoyed it.

"Tsk, it turned out to be just a school captain? If you dare to come forward, you will be ignored!" Le said disdainfully.

Saying that, Le took the initiative to meet the enemy. There was also engine spray behind his back. His gray-white armor coverage was similar to that of Taishi Ci. He had a single sword in one hand and a square shield in the other...

Bai Tu wondered on the tower: "This music is not well-known, and it doesn't look... very strong. Why is the armor similar to Ziyi's?"

"There are usually only two types of war armor, one is wood and stone war armor, and the other is gilt war armor. The former generally does not have many personalized marks and only plays a supporting role in combat, while the latter is greatly enhanced and has unique fighting methods, and Each pair of gilt armor is different, and can also stay in the air for a short time... As for the more powerful gold and jade armor, in the peaceful years, there were only one or two people in the past." Lu Bu said.

The wood and stone armor and the gilt armor are naturally not referring to the material of the armor, but to the level of the corresponding military talisman.

"There is a big difference between the armor of the same level. Look at his clumsy appearance, but because the troubled times are approaching, all over the country, there are overconscriptions, so this effort barely reached the level of the gold-plated armor. Ziyi, Xingba, and Wenyuan are all close to breaking through the gold and jade battle armor. Judging from the current chaotic situation in the world, even if they don't make much progress, they will not work for a few years." Lu Bu explained.

Only then did Bai Tu vaguely understand - the more soldiers trained by Cheng Ji, the easier it would be for generals with military talismans to advance in armor!

Like the "Gold Seal and Purple Ribbon" for civil servants, there were usually only one or two generals with "Gold and Jade Soldier Talismans" in the past dynasties. However, those who are close to and reaching this level now, Bai Tu alone should have seen more than one palm. number.

As for Lu Bu, Bai Tu assumes that he is a "gold and jade weapon", but his armor is not fully revealed at ordinary times.

Taishi Ci and Lejiu, in almost all aspects, bridged the gap between the upper and lower limits of gilt armor...

In less than five rounds, Taishi Ci swung away the square shield with one shot, pulled out a spear and then pierced the opponent's helmet. Thanks to Lejiu's skill in shrinking the turtle's head, he managed to save his life!
