Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 544 Why did it fail?

Next, Lu Bu's battle against Zhang Wei was almost lackluster.To sum it up in the simplest sentence: Lu Bu came, Lu Bu saw, and Lu Bu conquered.

Since ancient times, the three assistants of Chang'an refer to Jingzhao Chang'an, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng.Huaili is the seat of Fufeng, so judging from the situation, Zhang Lu's threat is already great.But Liu Xie simply sent a fierce man and a powerful army, and the cloud of war that was pressing on the people in Guanzhong was quickly disintegrated and melted away, just like being sprayed by a scorching sun.

After driving Zhang Wei's army out of Fufeng County, the battle progressed like a chase.Lu Bu didn't care how many people Zhang Wei had, or where he planned to go. As long as he heard Zhang Wei's whereabouts, he would chase after him like a wild wolf smelling blood, and then bite violently.

Like an unstoppable flash of lightning on the battlefield, Lu Bu rushed over, breaking through Zhang Wei's formation.He turned around again, and Zhang Wei's army formation was broken through again. Every time Zhang Wei fought, he tasted the taste of failure and despair, and could only retreat with the defeated soldiers again and again.After retreating, he seemed to be a little numb, and couldn't help sighing with luck every time: Look, Lu Bu didn't kill me this time, we still have a chance...

In this way, Zhang Wei was always fleeing and retreating, while Lu Bu was always attacking and chasing.Then, after a certain period of time, Zhang Wei's rout was almost closed, and Lu Bu just rushed over, and a burst of charge dissipated the little bit of fighting spirit and strength that Zhang Wei had finally gathered.

Not only in every battle, but in the entire battlefield strategy, Lu Bu won beautifully and brilliantly, and his victory is understandable.

On August [-], Zhang Lu, who heard the news of the failure, sent a unit of ethnic minority leaders who had just surrendered to him to help Zhang Wei.At the same time, Zhang Lu also sent his counselor Yan Pu over.Based on Lv Bu's continuous victories and arrogance in the army, Yan Pu set up a large formation, trying to lure Lv Bu into the formation, intending to trap Lv Bu to death inside.

Then, in that battle, Lu Bu still used the method of frontal breakthrough, and used a conical formation to slam into Zhang Wei's army formation.

Everything went well, Lu Bu came, Lu Bu fell into a trap, and Lu Bu was surrounded.

At that moment, Zhang Wei even jumped up excitedly.Yan Pu also stroked his beard and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.However, when everyone's eyes were on Lu Bu, they realized that something was wrong.

Whether it was the Hanzhong bandit soldiers or the Han Dynasty army, they were all surprised to find that there was no trace of fear on the face of this worldly tiger, as if he hadn't seen the enemies surrounded by mountains and plains at all. Giving orders tremblingly.

"Zhang Liao, you lead Hao Meng and Song Xian's trilogy to the left to deal with the ambush on the left; Wei Yue, you lead Wei Xu and Hou Cheng's trilogy to the right to deal with the right ambush; Zhou Cang and Liu Pi, you two lead the army Part [-], follow the general to attack the enemy's main formation! Remember, the soldiers are like fire, and you will never return, so don't insult my reputation, Lu Fengxian!"

Zhang Wei, no... Zhang Lu, I, Lu Bu, want to let you know that these ridiculous little tricks are nothing in the face of true courage and absolute confidence in winning!What is this ridiculous ambush?Aren't you still those peasants in Hanzhong who were confused by you?Very good, it seems that you really don't know, then I'll hunt all the way to Hanzhong to find you, and tell you a little common sense on the battlefield!

In August of the second year of Chuping, on the desolate plains of Kansai, after this day, Lu Bu had already performed many miracles.With this campaign, his name truly shook the world.From then on, everyone knows that the Han Dynasty has a brave general who never retreats, is fierce, invincible, and will never give up until he reaches his goal!

The battle that followed only had a tinge of brutality at the beginning.But in less than half an hour, under the bravery of Lu Bu's army, the entire encircling formation collapsed!Zhang Wei jumped on the horse again swiftly, Yan Pu pulled off his beard in surprise, and the bandits in the rear who were not arranged by Lu Bu to deal with them gradually changed from neglected humiliation to deep gratitude...

Lu Bu's division of troops to deal with such a siege seems to be a very stressful change.But it was this kind of combat method that was not a countermeasure at all, which made Yan Pu feel that his world view was beginning to collapse.One after another, the siege was broken by the Han army, and one after another was defeated by them.Lu Bu's cavalry did not use strategy or formations in combat, they just charged forward in a cone-shaped manner.

But no one can stop him.

Inexplicably, a counterattack organized by Zhang Wei and Yan Pu failed again.The defeat was even worse on this day, retreating more than 90 miles in a row. Many soldiers could not swim, but they would rather plunge into the water of the Yellow River in August than face Lu Bu's soldiers.

Three days later, the two armies clashed again in a shallow part of the Yellow River.

Reluctantly, Yan Pu adopted the tactic of "soldiers attacking halfway across the river", hoping that the river water could stop Lu Bu's iron cavalry.However, this still doesn't do anything at all.Lu Bu took the lead, straddling the red rabbit and was unstoppable. Zhang Wei's army rushed up, and before they had rushed halfway, they turned around and ran back...

After that, there were almost no outstanding battles, and Lu Bu's previous rhythm of chasing Zhang Wei was restored.He kept rushing, and Zhang Wei kept running away.At this point in the war, no one cared about Yan Pu's nagging anymore. All the Hanzhong soldiers thought about how not to fight Lu Bu, because they knew that as long as they clashed together, their troops would be like snow meeting the scorching sun. It melts easily and disappears.

They could only watch helplessly as Lu Bu swung his halberd triumphantly, watched Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf riders howl happily one by one, and saw Lu Bu win incredible victories one after another.

For Zhang Wei and Yan Pu, they were terribly angry and terrified, but there was nothing they could do.

Because they just can't do anything about it.

Such a battle was fought beyond anyone's expectations.

Is it because the soldiers in Hanzhong can't fight?
It's impossible, the soldiers in Hanzhong are all disciples of Tianshidao, and Tianshidao is not a sect that you can convert and enjoy protection just by paying five buckets of rice.At least, not for those soldiers, they only have Zhang Lu's decree in their minds, and for Zhang Lu's order, they don't need anything on the battlefield, including their lives.

Is resourcefulness not rigorous enough?
No, Yan Pu is a well-known wise man in Hanzhong. He made two counterattacks, both of which are almost classic cases of military strategy.Not to mention that the number of people is similar, even if you hit more with fewer hits, you should easily counterattack and win.

So, what is the reason?
The reason lies in Lu Bu and his army. Yan Pu will never know that compared with them, Lu Bu and that army are not a combat unit of the same magnitude at all.

That army, no matter in terms of fighting spirit, combat power, equipment, etc., was far superior to the Hanzhong soldiers by a large margin.In addition, they also have a fierce general like Lu Bu who is invincible in personal force, and a general who has already reached the pinnacle of commanding cavalry tactics. When they are combined together, they form absolute strength.

In the face of absolute strength, those tricks are really useless.Lu Bu only needs to simplify the complexity, and he can defeat them like Daqiaobugong and Dayin Ruoxi.

During this time, Liu Yu, Yang Fu, and Jiang Jiong all became Lu Bu's followers.Wherever Lu Bu's army goes, there is victory.They all turned into internal affairs talents, hurriedly summoning local officials, registering the population, summoning civilians who hid in the mountains, distributing fields to the newly relocated households of the poor, organizing autumn plowing, arranging seeds, mediating local disputes, and suppressing secret riots , arrange personnel, implement logistics...

Fortunately, although these tasks are tedious and tiring, they are better than being tired.The Han Dynasty has a good reputation in Guanzhong and Guanxi. Many counties and counties pretended to surrender under the orders of Liu Xie when Zhang Wei's army came. Zhang Lu's army was not Qianghu, and their military discipline was not strict. However, there were no incidents of burning, killing and looting. This is also a benefit of Zhang Luzhai's benevolent heart and his religious establishment-now that they are gone, these officials will naturally resume their status as courtiers of the Han Dynasty and begin to serve for the post-war people. Work hard to get back to work.

Finally, at the beginning of September, Zhang Wei gathered an army of less than 2 people and returned to Xiegu Pass where they came.After Lu Bu set up camp, he wrote a letter to Liu Xie, instructing him whether he should return to the court as a teacher or continue to take Xieguguan.

Three days later, Lu Bu received a reply from Liu Xie: "Your daughter is very happy in Ye Ting, so don't worry about it."

Lu Bu smiled slightly, then got up and ordered to the generals around him: "Follow me out of the camp, let's go and have a look at Xiegu Pass."
