Chapter 159 Meeting at Dingjun Mountain
"Reported that Yizhou has 20,000 troops attacked and defended, but it has been blocked by General Cao Xing, and the two armies are confronting each other."
"Reported that Yizhou sent 20,000 troops to attack Gushan, General Wei Xu led his troops to intercept him."
"Reported that Liu Yan personally led a 100,000 army to cross the Han River from Yangping Pass south, and set up camp on Dingjun Mountain."
After the battle reports came, Lu Bu frowned and stared at the situation on the map. Liu Yan was indeed a cunning man, and he directly relied on his troops to bloom from all directions.
"Report~ Ma Ming Pavilion found more than 10,000 traces of soldiers and horses in Yizhou."
Bang!
He took a heavy palm on the cowhide map, and Lu Bu, who was not angry and powerful, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Okay, Liu Yan's old man really has two knives."
In war, no one can gain the advantage if they have more troops. Liu Yan's army of 150,000, and 50,000 of them were divided into three groups to attack Xiabian. Gushan and Ma Mingge were to put it bluntly, and Lu Bu's troops were divided.
Give full play to your greatest advantage and expand your enemy's disadvantages.
Lu Bu had few soldiers, and the three armies had restrained at least 15,000 elite troops. Including Hanzhong's troops, the 30,000 troops were almost restrained. No matter which way he asked for help, Lu Bu had to send more troops to defend.
Liu Yan personally led a 100,000 army to attack Yangping Pass, but secretly crossed the Han River to camp at Dingjun Mountain, completely trying to force the Yangping Pass army to fight.
"Where are you here, the troops are sent to Dingjun Mountain, and I will meet this hero of Yizhou!"
In October, the Yizhou army that left Shu was led by Liu Yan, roaring in Hanzhong like a tiger coming out of the gate.
Liu Yan, a Han clan who had only a few writings in the history of the Three Kingdoms, used his strength to prove his ability to dare to become a disobedient in the earliest days.
Dingjun Mountain.
Lu Bu personally led more than 30,000 troops to set up camps at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.
On Dingjun Mountain, in the Shu army camp covered with flags, Liu Yan, who was already tall and beautiful, was not weak at all. He stared at the Lu Bu army camping at the foot of the mountain with majestic eyes.
"It's indeed a tiger and wolf army."
With a faint appreciation, Liu Yan exuded a strong sense of confidence. "Lu Bu has arrived, and he sent a command to hit the drum and send troops on both sides. I want to see what this hero who has been helpless in the world has to do."
promise!
Dongdong~ Under the deafening sound of drumbeats, countless Shu troops began to walk down from the mountain, and Lu Jun, who had just been preparing to camp at the foot of the mountain, exclaimed and alerted after seeing this.
At the foot of the Dingjun Mountain, 50,000 Shu troops were arranged in formation, and on the mountain, the Shu troops waved flags and shouted, and under the deafening shouts, they were like millions of troops.
"Lord, Liu Yan's old man is too arrogant."
"Yes, lord, when have we ever been so angry?"
The 20,000 Bingzhou troops were arranged in a row and facing the Shu army from afar, while the Shu army shaking flags and shouting in the mountains clearly underestimated them.
When did the soldiers who fought in the south and the north have suffered such cowardly?
Lu Bu, who was strangling the red rabbit horse, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the steep Dingjun Mountain and the 50,000 Shu troops at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.
"People say that the road to Shu is as difficult as the sky, but it turns out that the road to Shu is so steep."
Liu Yan was very cunning and camping his army in Dingjun Mountain seemed to make the food supply more difficult, but this area also fully utilized its own advantages.
The surrounding terrain completely limits the use of large-scale cavalry.
"Lu Bu!"
A loud shout came from the top of the mountain. After seeing this scene, Lu Bu smiled with a slight solemnity. He couldn't help but waved his hand, and suddenly more than a thousand burly men in the army stepped out and put their hands beside their mouths.
"Liu Yan!"
After the same reply, more than a thousand soldiers behind him shouted, and their voices echoed above Dingjun Mountain.
"Lu Bu, like a man on the frontier, how dare he take the post of a general?"
"Liu Yanru, a relative of the Han Dynasty, raised an army without permission and was worthy of being an old minister of the Han Dynasty."
The two of them went back and forth, relying on more than a thousand soldiers in their respective troops to start a language confrontation.
"The Han Dynasty has a century-long foundation, and Empress Dowager He, a wife, is a wife in Chang'an. How dare I disrupt my Han Dynasty's foundation? Will you send troops without authorization? Don't forget the Empress Lü who was chaotic in the Han Dynasty."
Liu Yan was absolutely righteous, and he looked like a relative of the Han Dynasty. How could Empress Dowager He and his woman give orders on behalf of the Han Dynasty? Now he sent troops to attack Hanzhong to rescue the emperor in Luoyang.
Lu Bu was also unwilling to be outdone and angrily accused Liu Yan of being disobedient and being a relative of the Han Dynasty.
After a short while of going back and forth, Lu Bu couldn't help but wave his hand to the messenger secretly. The flag was swaying, and 20,000 troops began to line up to attack.
After seeing this, Liu Yan on the top of the mountain sighed slightly, "Lu Bu has indeed been through a long battle formation, and he actually discovered that I was tired of the army."
At the same time, Liu Yan also gave up his intention to hold Lu Bu up. Suddenly, the flag on the top of the mountain also swayed, and the Shu army at the bottom of the mountain also began to change formations.
"The shield soldiers come forward, the spearmen prepare, and the crossbowmen line up to prepare for war."
The respective generals in the military formations of both sides shouted and ordered the war to begin.
However, Lu Bu set up a defensive formation in his army.
"Crazy and cunning."
Lu Bu knew Liu Yan's plan and couldn't help but snorted coldly. His 30,000 troops were soldiers from afar and were exhausted, but the opponent's Shu army was waiting for labor.
Roar ~
As the flag swayed, the formation of soldiers of the two armies began to change, and Lu Bu's 20,000 troops lined up in a square array.
"Pang De, Yan Xing, you two are ready, don't be impulsive."
Zou Pinggui in the military formation changed his past graceful and angrily looked at the thousand people under his command with a long sword.
"Array, long spears and shields, and archers are ready to shoot freely as long as the enemy enters the range."
"Yan Xing, Pang De, you two guard their respective formations. Listen to the rest of the military marquis. These two boys have just arrived in the army for not long. Please be careful not to lose the power of the lord's army later."
Roar!
Responding to him was the excited cheers of countless soldiers. The Shu army in the distance had already begun to run and launched a strong attack.
Swish~
Most of the arrows in the sky were shot on the shield, and only a few soldiers were shot in unlucky manner.
"Here you come, everyone is ready to fight!"
Looking at the Shu army that was about to rush, the spear was already on the shield, and the soldiers behind them even raised the ring-headed sword in their hands.
Kill ~
Bang bang ~
Charge is not just about directly rushing into the enemy army formation with his own body, but about pushing a simple rushing car, with sharp bamboo thorns on the car.
"Kill~"
The fighting sounded, and 20,000 Shu troops rushed forward frantically, and the other 30,000 Shu troops were ready to join the battlefield. It was obvious that as long as there was a slight riot in Lu Bu's army, these 30,000 Shu troops were the key to the last straw.
"In less than three years, he was in a separatist position and firmly settled in Yizhou, which even attacked the powerful tyrants. Liu Yan should live up to the powerful lord."
Looking at the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. Liu Yan, an old man, might have underestimated everyone in the world.
"Kill~"
"I have killed you in the barbarians of the northern border."
If the soldiers in the northern border are big and strong, then the thin soldiers of the Shu army are relatively ruthless.
Chapter completed!
