Wei Fufeng had people tell Lao Feng about the strategy of luring the enemy. The original strategy of surprise and flanking attacks turned into a strategy of luring the enemy into dividing the army.

Only a few generals knew about the strange army. After all, Luzhou was not a monolith.

In addition, Wei Fufeng deliberately spread his relationship with the Jiedushi of Shannan West Road, falsely claimed that he was the Jiedushi of Shannan West Road, and sent 60,000 troops to attack Dongchuan.

Informing the establishment of the Jiedushi of Southern Sichuan was the support of Yang Shijun, the Jiedushi of Shannan West Road.

All the necessary preparations have been made, but it is still hard to say whether we can win or not.

Wei Fufeng was riding a horse, his expression was calm and calm, his eyes were looking into the distance. Why was he riding a horse? Of course it was to run fast.

Xiaoxue stayed in the ambush army, and Xiaoxue's presence relieved Wei Fufeng's mental pressure a lot.

If Lin Qingxue were here, Wei Fufeng's mental state would be chatting and laughing. What he lacks most is a sense of security, and he is always alert when sleeping.

During the march, several scouts reported back to each other. The Dongchuan Army in Tongliang County had already been dispatched. Twenty thousand troops entered the Dazu County area and attacked the Luzhou Army stationed outside Dazu County.

According to the reports, the 20,000 Dongchuan Army had about 5,000 armored troops, about 5,000 archers, about 10,000 spearmen in linen trousers, and an unorganized horse army.

Overall, the armaments are not too strong.

But after hearing the report, Wei Fufeng did not dare to be optimistic. The strength of the military lies in military morale and armament. If the military is united, Mount Tai will move.

The 5,000 armored troops and 5,000 archers of the Dongchuan Army should be the elite of Dongchuan Jiedushi's tooth army, and the 10,000 linen clothes and trousers should be the regiment training troops recruited.

...

Outside Dazu County, nearly 40,000 Luzhou troops lined up in a chaotic formation, shouting orders and scoldings. Many of the Luzhou troops' weapons were sharpened bamboos, and their shields were made of bamboo tubes.

Although it was in disarray, it was rare for soldiers to leave before battle.

Most of the 40,000 Luzhou Army were from Luzhou, and the rest were bandits who had taken refuge and trained troops from the Changzhou Regiment. As long as they joined the army, they would be able to obtain fields, military pay and food.

As long as the bandit leader brought 300 people to join him, he would become a tooth general, and if a thousand people took refuge, he would become a military commander. Therefore, more than 5,000 bandits joined the Luzhou Army.

Lao Feng was wearing a bright red official uniform and sitting on a wheeled cart with a stern expression. When he heard from the scouts that the enemy's army was only a dozen miles away, he sent people to inform all the troops.

He informed the Luzhou army that the Jiedu envoy heading west to Rongzhou actually made a surprise attack on Fushun County in Rongzhou in a roundabout way.

Lord Jiedushi defeated two thousand soldiers from Rongzhou in Fushun County, and then secretly went to Zizhou to garrison.

Now that the Dongchuan Army was attacking, Lord Jiedushi personally led 10,000 elite Luzhou troops to attack the enemy from behind.

After the announcement, the morale of the Luzhou army was boosted. Looking at the enemy troops in armor and order appearing in the distance, they were undaunted and eager to move forward.

If they win this battle, the land they gain will truly belong to them, so the enemy army that attacks them in darkness becomes their enemy to seize the land.

Under the command of the Dongchuan Army, the commander-in-chief Li Hong was dressed in bright light armor, with a large cloak on his shoulders. His face was cold and majestic with sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes. His eyes were indifferently looking at the black sea of ​​people in the distance. After seeing clearly, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

.

"It's really a mob."

Li Hong secretly felt sorry for him. He was ordered to go to Luzhou and brought out 10,000 Jiedu Ya troops. There were also 30,000 regiments of training troops recruited from various states under his control. He could even mobilize the 2,000 town troops guarding Fushun County to join the battle.

But after learning about the military situation in Luzhou, Li Hong believed that a quick victory should be

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, could not allow the Luzhou Army to have time to prepare, so he only brought out 10,000 regiments from Puzhou and Hezhou to train and participate in the war.

Boom boom boom!

The war drums roared, shaking people's hearts with fighting spirit.

The Dongchuan Army began its attack, which was basically divided into three parts. Behind every five hundred Yajun, there would be a thousand regiments of training troops to assist in the attack.

Kill! Amidst the roar of the war drums, the charging Dongchuan Army shouted with high fighting spirit, like a herd of bison charging towards the black Luzhou Army.

The armored Dongchuan Army, everyone's eyes were filled with murderous intent, staring at the 'herd'-like Luzhou Army.

Boom boom boom!

The war drums of the Luzhou Army rang loudly, and the first row of Luzhou Army wearing linen clothes and trousers suddenly separated, and countless Luzhou Army armed with bamboo spears rushed out from behind.

The Luzhou troops who rushed out each held a bamboo shield in their left hand and a bamboo spear in their right hand. They threw the bamboo spears one after another while running.

The bamboo spears flew through the air, and the Dongchuan Army's arrows also flew in at the same time. The Luzhou Army who threw the bamboo spears raised their bamboo shields to protect themselves.

There were also a few who turned back in fear and ran away. As a result, those who fled were hit by arrows in the back. Although there were some casualties among those who raised their shields, most of them were safe.

Thousands of bamboo spears flew down on the armored Dongchuan troops, who immediately screamed.

The sprinting power of the bamboo spear was better than that of the bow and arrow, and the armor could not stop the impact of the bamboo spear. Hundreds of Dongchuan troops were killed or injured on the spot.

The killing of the bamboo spears aroused the Dongchuan Army's murderous intention. It was a shame to be injured by a group of "sheep". The Dongchuan Army charged forward even more crazily, and soon collided with the Luzhou Army and fought.

...

"Report to your lord, 10,000 enemy troops have appeared in the rear." The two armies had just entered into a confrontation when Dongchuan Army scouts made an urgent report.

"Ten thousand enemy troops?" Li Hong was surprised. This was beyond his expectation.

"Sir, the watch flag is from Sichuan Province. It should be the Sichuan Province Envoy who went to Rongzhou and took a detour back to the rear of our army." The scout reminded him hurriedly.

Li Hong regained consciousness, turned his head and glanced at the battlefield, and immediately ordered: "Pang Yu, you lead six thousand troops on the left and right flanks, and two thousand troops in the center, and turn around to meet the enemy."

Pang Yu, Marquis of Yu of the Chinese Army, received the order. While sending orders to the left and right wing troops, he also ordered two thousand generals of the Chinese Army to take charge, and hurried back to meet the enemy.

Li Hong frowned and looked at the battlefield ahead, feeling something bad.

The fighting on the battlefield ahead was very chaotic. He imagined that the Luzhou army would collapse at the first touch. Instead, the enemy army fought tenaciously and refused to retreat.

...

At Lao Feng's place, there was an urgent report from the guards: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Chao Chao's sentry saw the enemy troops appear and split up. About eight thousand people retreated."

"Inform all the armies that the 10,000 enemy troops will turn around and fight with Lord Jiedushi. What we are facing is only 10,000 enemy troops, half of which are regiment training." Lao Feng gave the order without hesitation, and someone immediately rushed to inform all the armies.

"Kill!" After the announcement, many generals of the Luzhou Army roared fiercely and went into battle to fight in person. Injury at this time was a testimony of meritorious service.

The general took his orders and shouted the notice, and the soldiers blindly followed them with high fighting spirit. However, the forward of the Dongchuan Army discovered that there was a "retreat" in the rear.

First, the Dongchuan Army's regiment training panicked and then retreated. As a result, the Dongchuan Army's tooth soldiers could no longer hold on and were overwhelmed by tens of thousands of Luzhou troops.

Ten against one, a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves.

...

Wei Fufeng was worried and secretly gritted his teeth and led his army to attack the Dongchuan Army's back. The war was cruel. If he was unlucky, he might be killed even if there were thousands of troops guarding him.

Wei Fufeng does not

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If he wanted to die and did not want to face a blind war, he could choose to stay in the ambush army, but he knew rationally that the ambush army was more dangerous than the five thousand troops, and he could be killed by cold arrows at any time.

The reason why Lu Qing was promoted to the commander of the ambush army was because Lu Qing was born in the Gongjing Town Army and had some prestige because of his uprightness. At least he could win the heartfelt respect of the soldiers at the bottom.

If Wei Fufeng appointed General Luzhou as the commander of the ambush, at the critical moment of the confrontation, the archers of Feiyu Camp would probably turn against him and kill the commander.

By taking command of Lu Qing, you can avoid being killed by cold arrows.

Another main reason why Wei Fufeng personally led an army of 5,000 people was that the ambush strategy was only a auxiliary strategy for the overall situation. The real purpose of this surprise attack was to induce the Dongchuan Army to divide its forces.

As long as the Luzhou Army in Dazu County defeats the attacking Dongchuan Army, the situation will be decided.

Wei Fufeng appointed Lu Qing, but he also took precautions. He specifically placed Wang Dahu and Zhou He under Lu Qing's control.

Wang Dahu was one of the first five subordinates who followed him. He was an honest man and a warrior whose bravery was not inferior to that of Lu Qing.

Zhou He had made great contributions while in Fushun County, and also took the initiative to offer advice to Wei Fufeng. He was already closely related to the rise and fall of the Luzhou Army, and he was also resourceful and resourceful, which was suitable for containing Lu Qing's possible rebellion.

.....

Hearing the roar of war drums, Wei Fufeng was startled, but soon regained his composure. His 5,000 troops were camouflaged, twice as many military flags were erected, and his military flag also stood in the middle of the army.

The flag is a symbol of authority and maintains the stability of military morale.

"Charge and act according to the signal of our army." Wei Fufeng raised his eyebrows and ordered.

Five thousand troops were ordered to charge, and the war drums were roaring to cooperate with the momentum. The military strength with flags waving showed how much military strength was in the attack.

The rear scouts of the Dongchuan Army could only make judgments on the military situation based on flags. Otherwise, the five thousand and ten thousand people could only climb high to make a judgment.

Li Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Dongchuan Army, underestimated the Luzhou Army too much. He was also a descendant of nobles who lacked military practice. He thought that 10,000 elite troops were enough to defeat the ragtag army.

In fact, Li Hong's idea was not wrong, he just misjudged the fighting spirit of the Luzhou Army and had the support of related and unwilling interests.

Even Wei Fufeng did not estimate that giving the land would turn the 40,000-strong mob into a desperate and invincible army.

If it were Wei Fufeng, he would never sacrifice his life for the land. His eyes would be set on more valuable interests, wealth and authority.

Five thousand troops advanced to the sound of war drums. In the front row was Wei Fufeng's Fengli Camp.

The soldiers advanced one by one with their crossbows. When they saw a large group of enemy troops approaching, they stopped at the order and raised their crossbows to shoot, while the infantry behind them rushed forward past them.

A row of crossbow arrows shot down many Dongchuan troops. The Dongchuan troops, who had been ordered to meet the enemy in a hurry, stopped charging and became afraid of the enemies with crossbows.

The power of military crossbows can penetrate armor, and their accuracy is better than ordinary bows and arrows.

The leader of the Chinese army, Yuhou Pangyu, was furious and ordered a charge. Nearly two thousand armored troops continued to charge under the command of the commander. After a while, they collided with Wei Fufeng's infantry and fought.

The infantry included one hundred and fifty Tiger Guards. The Tiger Guards wearing bright light armor were like sharp arrows piercing the Dongchuan army to fight.

The sharp offensive split open the Dongchuan Army, and with the crossbow support from the Fengli Battalion behind them, the Dongchuan Army's charge was curbed.

Pang Yu's face turned blue and he saw that the enemy army was less than thirty meters away from him. Unfortunately, all he brought were infantry and the archers were used to deal with the Luzhou Army in Dazu County.
