Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator
Chapter 943: The courage to break through the difficulties
During the time that the Han army was blocking outside Hulao Pass, they had been making various arrangements.
Even when Lu Bu glanced around, he felt his scalp tingling.
Deer antlers, thorns, horse traps, chevaux de frise, arrow towers, etc., almost armed the defense line of the Han army camp to the teeth.
If it had been a normal time, not to mention that the Han army had a huge advantage in terms of manpower, even if the men were equal, Lu Bu, who led the cavalry, would have had to bypass such a camp and give up the idea of a strong attack.
But now, Lu Bu had to launch a strong attack.
Once Luoyang is lost, Lu Bu will truly be a homeless loser.
This time, Lu Bu not only brought all his cavalry with him, but also drew 5,000 infantry from Xingyang, bringing the total number of infantry and cavalry to 35,000.
Looking at it from a grand perspective, it is also a large area.
On the other hand, Li Ji had 150,000 infantrymen who were well-rested and waiting for the enemy to attack. The generals he brought with him were mainly Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Sun Ce, Chen Dao, Taishi Ci and others.
As for the civil officials, apart from Zhou Yu who was always close to Sun Ce, there was only Zhang Song who volunteered to follow him and serve as the chief clerk.
This was undoubtedly a humiliation for Zhang Song, who was originally a foreign official.
However, after hearing that Li Ji was planning to divide the troops, Zhang Song personally ran to Li Ji and volunteered, saying frankly that he had no interest in staying in Guandu to make any merit, and only wanted to follow the prime minister and listen to his teachings.
At this moment, Li Ji stood on a high platform built in advance in the camp, looking at Lu Bu's army slowly approaching in the distance, and it seemed that even the heaven and earth were blown by a gust of sad wind.
Lu Bu may have realized that this was a dead end, but he had no choice but to come.
The mobility of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is second to none in the world, but they were trapped here by Li Ji's trick of "encircling a point and attacking the reinforcements" and had to face the thorns.
At Hulao Pass, Li Ji and Lu Bu, who were once praised by the world as equals, faced off on the battlefield again.
However, this time, Li Ji was the defender and Lu Bu was the attacker.
Feeling from afar Lu Bu's determination to fight to the death, Li Ji's expression did not fluctuate at all. The entire camp layout reflected in his eyes was like a chessboard.
"Boom boom boom!"
As the infantry and cavalry led by Lu Bu in the distance completed their formation and began to march, the battle also began.
For Lu Bu, this was undoubtedly a battle that determined life and death.
But in Li Ji's eyes, it was just like a moth flying into a flame...
Even so, Lu Bu's ability to command troops was fully demonstrated this time, and he directed the coordination of infantry and cavalry quite well.
The infantry and cavalry constantly covered and restrained each other, and gradually opened up a path to attack the Han army camp.
In response to Lu Bu, there was a continuous rain of arrows rising into the sky from the Han army camp, which continuously poured down on the flesh and blood bodies.
Although Lu Bu had made full preparations, he was still faced with the overwhelming rain of arrows and the large number of caltrops, chevaux de frise, horse traps and other obstacles in his way.
They could only use human lives to clear a path and gradually shorten the distance to the Han army camp.
Until there was still thirty steps left to the Han army.
Except for a few unlucky soldiers who were cut by broken bowstrings, no one on the Han army was killed.
The fallen bodies of the infantry and cavalry led by Lu Bu almost paved a path, and at a distance of thirty steps, it was also the most ideal distance for bows and crossbows to cause damage.
The Han army set up arrow towers, arrow battlements, city walls and other places on the edge, and a large number of archers were indiscriminately raining arrows.
Even though there were large shields blocking the way, there were still gaps for arrows to penetrate, or some infantrymen's arms were exhausted by the constant shaking of arrows, and they were shot down the moment they let go of the shields.
Li Ji, who was on the high platform, issued another order, which was delivered by the flag bearer.
Two huge objects covered by black cloth closest to the location where Lu Bu and his army were approaching were revealed, and they turned out to be two hideous-looking crossbows!
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu's pupils shrank.
What will happen if this crossbow used for defending the city is laid flat and fired horizontally?
"Bang!" Two giant crossbow arrows with unparalleled power penetrated into the crowd. The giant shield that should have been indestructible was almost broken with a sound, piercing the infantrymen one by one like a string of candied haws.
"Li Zikun!!!"
Lu Bu, unable to suppress his anger any longer, could not help but shout out in anger.
These arrangements were targeted to the extreme, leaving Lu Bu with no doubt that it was Li Ji who did it.
Moreover, transporting the bed crossbow is extremely time-consuming and laborious, and the installation takes even longer, which is enough to show that Li Ji was well prepared.
But Lu Bu felt more clearly that these two crossbows were almost destroying the morale of the infantrymen who were leading the way in front.
The next moment, knowing that even he could not protect the horse under his crotch in such a dense rain of arrows, Lu Bu simply abandoned his mount.
While the two crossbows were reloading arrows, he raised a huge shield in one hand and a Fang Tian Hua Ji in the other, and rushed forward alone, intending to cross the distance of thirty steps by himself.
As soon as Lu Bu showed up, he attracted a large number of arrows almost instantly.
The "clang clang" sound of metal colliding is more frequent than heavy rain hitting banana leaves.
While Lu Bu protected himself with a huge shield, he easily knocked away the deer antlers, chevaux de frise and other objects in front of him with one hand, clearing the way for the following troops.
Lu Bu's bravery also greatly boosted the morale of his soldiers, which had been extremely low.
As the King of Zhao, Lu Bu led the troops and even the king's flag was placed at the front and moved forward first. This had an unimaginable impact on the morale.
"Go! Follow the king..."
"Kill!"
"The king is mighty!!!"
……
Amid the waves of excited voices, the Zhao army did not retreat but advanced instead in the face of the rain of arrows, constantly speeding up their pace to catch up with Lu Bu.
The wooden gate of the camp was directly broken by Lu Bu with tremendous force, and a path was forcibly opened.
Seeing this, the infantrymen following Lu Bu also made way to allow the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, who had been waiting in the rear for a long time, to charge.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry formed a charge, there were no obstacles such as horse traps, deer horns, and chevaux de frise.
Even with a rain of arrows pouring down, it was unable to stop the momentum of this charge.
In just a moment, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had approached the gap opened by Lu Bu to about fifty steps.
Moreover, this gap was opened by Lu Bu with his unparalleled bravery and he killed and dispersed the Han army that came to block it.
At this moment, hope rekindled in Lu Bu's eyes as he climbed back onto his horse.
As long as they rush into the gap, they may be able to break through the entire Han army camp in one breath, attack Huanglong directly, and rush back to Hulao Pass.
Forty steps...
Thirty steps...
Just when the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were only twenty steps away from the gap.
Behind the gap, there was suddenly a sound of orderly and heavy footsteps, and a group of soldiers that made Lu Bu's eyes bloodshot appeared behind the gap.
