When Lu Bu arrived at this time, it was when Liu Bei passed through Yangtou Mountain again that he sent a message to Jicheng, specifically inviting Lu Bu to go to Qixian for a battle.
There are as many as 6,000 defenders in Jicheng, but most of the military commanders under their command are unwilling to accept the invitation. The reason is that the defenders in the city were originally commanded by the prefect Zhu Qi. Zhu Qi had previously issued an order: "Defend Jicheng to the death." Don't leave Jicheng even an inch." If Lu Bu goes out to fight in the city, it will be fine if he wins, but if he loses, one head is not enough to bear the blame.
Lü Bu didn't take it seriously and smiled at the generals: "I, Lü Bu, are a man of the Han family, a son of Bingzhou, and a warrior of iron. I hold a bird of prey in the morning, dance with tigers at night, and can fight dragons! How can I lose to a mere barbarian?" He came to mount a red rabbit and said to his friends: "I want to ride on this thousand-mile horse, gallop up and down Taihang, and chase the enemy to the north of Wuquan. Who will go with me?"
The blood of Cheng Lian, Gao Shun and others was gushing. They felt their pupils were on fire and the wind was blowing behind their ears. They responded generously: "I am willing to die with the general!"
Lu Bu's three hundred cavalry numbers are the trap camp, which was founded by Lu Bu after he took office. The selected people were all capable of firing a three-stone bow and riding a nine-origin horse. Lü Bu was the governor and Gao Shun was the deputy governor. They were rich in gold and silver and were not allowed to drink alcohol or take bribes. Their bravery was widely spread and they were known as the best among all the camps in Bingzhou. However, This battle was the beginning of the trap camp becoming famous all over the world.
Guan Yu captured Dugu Sukelan alive. There was no one on the front line to command, and the troops were in danger of collapsing. Deputy Commander Dugu Liwei immediately seized the Dugu tribe's Liuyun Panbo flag, carried the flag and said loudly: "I am still here with the Dugu family, don't be timid! The enemy is riding alone into the formation and is trapped in a heavy siege. If you let this person How can I, the Dugu Department, survive in Bingzhou even if I retreat?!"
After saying that, he tied the big flag behind his back, held aloft a pole more than ten feet long, kicked the horse's belly and charged towards Guan Yu. The horsemen beside him saw him holding the pole to the sky and carrying the ancestral flag on his back, just like the ancient warriors of the Huns, and they all Invigorated, he galvanized his horse and charged forward.
Guan Yu took Dugu Sukelan hostage and placed him on his back. He was riding his horse safely when he unexpectedly launched a counterattack in an instant. Chang's spear was in front of him, and his knife was behind him. In a hurry, Guan Yu passed the blade of the knife over the tip of the knife. With great force, he pushed the tip of the knife in front of Hu Qi. He almost collided with Hu Qi's knife. Send out a string of sparks. Dugu Liwei and the three cavalry took several steps back before they stabilized their body.
With such magical power, Dugu Liwei couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, and ordered to the cavalry behind him: "Such a brave man, there is no one in ten thousand in the Han Dynasty. This man must be the pillar of the Han army. Kill this man, the Han army will definitely be frightened, close combat It's hard for us to defeat him, so why don't we fire a volley of arrows and shoot him to death here!"
The knights hesitated and said: "The Lord of Gudu is still in the hands of this person. Let's shoot the arrow. What will happen to the Lord of Gudu?"
Dugu Li said anxiously: "If this man doesn't die, our army will lose all its courage and it will be impossible to win! Are you willing to be buried with Marquis Gudu?" Then he said again in a serious voice: "Fire the arrow!"
After hearing this, Hu Qi thought it was true and drew his bows to shoot arrows. Guan Yu did not expect that Dugu Liwei was so bold and used Dugu Sukelan as a shield in vain. Poor Dugu Sukelan, as a general of the Xiongnu army, was shot dead by his tribe while he was in a coma. He was hit by dozens of arrows, like a hedgehog.
But Guan Yu was covered in iron armor, and the arrows fell on him, jingling like a bell, and then fell into the soil.
Dugu Liwei saw this and said anxiously: "Is there a brave man who can kill this enemy for me?!"
A warrior stepped forward and said, "Wait for me to draw the bow!" He was nine feet tall, shaped like a bear, and carried a five-stone ox-horn bow. He was stringing it on a horse, and the bow was like a full moon. The bow tips were almost touching one place, and there was a thunderbolt. Startled, Guan Yu turned sideways to avoid it, and the arrow penetrated the armor and hit his shoulder blade.
Guan Yu was wounded by the arrow and was in so much pain that he almost dropped his knife. After fighting like this for a while, Guan Yu was like a ghost among the Xiongnu soldiers. At this time, he was injured and bleeding. The Xiongnu soldiers were all in high spirits and shouted: "Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"
Dugu Liwei wanted to shoot again, but how could Liu Bei be mediocre? Seeing that Guan Yu was in trouble in charging the battle, he immediately led his Qingqi to come to the rescue. Seeing that the Xiongnu had someone who could shoot a five-stone bow, he angrily said to his followers: "Bring me the Moon Bow!" The Moon Bow has the strength of six stones, and Liu Bei cannot hold it. , actually stepping on the bow with his foot on horseback, pulling it to the full string, as if holding the moon in his arms. Dugu Liwei felt something was wrong, and when he was about to change his order, Liu Bei's arrow arced through the air like the wind, and hit the warrior's chest. The arrows swayed and he was nailed to the ground.
Guan Yu took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly rode back to the Han army's formation. He apologized to Liu Bei and said, "Unexpectedly, there is such a brave man among the Hu people. He has not accomplished all the feats, but it is me who boasts about Haikou." Liu Bei took out the linen cloth to wrap his wound, but it was He confidently smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. You have captured and killed General Hu, and now Lieutenant Lu is lending a helping hand. The overall outcome of this battle has been decided."
Dugu Liwei regrouped and surrounded Guan Yu. Although he stopped the defeat on the front line, a short gap was created on the flanks. Lu Bu led the trapped camp and emerged from the mountains. He was covered in armor and looked like a god. The Hun soldiers on the left flank The hope gave rise to fear, and my hands became sweaty without realizing it, and I bent down and trembled.
Lu Fengxian was very proud to see the Hu people acting like this. He immediately took the lead and spurred the red rabbit to dive straight down. Red Rabbit is five feet tall. He looks like an iron-eating beast while running. He feels the howling of the wind and is full of energy. He holds a halberd and raises his head to the sky, roaring like a jackal or a vulture.
The leader of this formation urgently ordered the soldiers in the front formation to set up their spears, and the soldiers in the rear formation to draw their bows and shoot arrows. Lu Bu just accelerated his horse and rushed to the front of the battle line to meet the bows and arrows. The Huns soldiers had never seen such a fierce general, and naturally all the bows and arrows were missed.
Facing the forest of spears in front of him, Lu Bu gently pinched the horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse jumped into the air, as if a huge boulder flew out of the air. In an instant, it jumped two feet and stepped on several soldiers in the formation. , then without stopping, he flew along the original flank gap.
There was only a mess left at the place where they charged. Five soldiers died on the spot. Broken bones and shredded muscles were clearly visible where they were trampled. Dozens of soldiers around were unconscious, twisted and collapsed on the ground, obviously too. Difficult to survive. When the other sergeants saw this scene, their minds seemed to be possessed by ghosts and gods, they gritted their teeth and swallowed in vain, and their two bodies were fighting.
Lu Bu was in front, followed closely by the trapped camp. At the moment when the Hu soldiers were confused, Gao Shun and other cavalry also quickly entered the formation, as if cutting through bamboo with a knife blade, instantly turning the momentary decline into a rout! Liu Bei and Dugu Liwei looked to the left wing at the same time, only to see Lu Bu waving his halberd in front, rushing to create a gap, and the trapped camp formed a flying formation, tearing the gap into a terrifying wound, and the three hundred knights Among the thousands of armies, no one can even take the slightest step.
Dugu Liwei was horrified when he saw this, and said to his followers in panic: "There are so many Han athletes!" The most courageous commander was like this, let alone facing Lu Bu's soldiers in person? Before the Hu soldiers in the rear could organize a counterattack, they were scattered and routed by the defeated troops in the front. Once they were reduced to a rout, the war was out of control.
In less than two seconds, Lu Bu was gone. At this time, he had already pierced the flank of the barbarian. Looking up and looking around, there were sounds of people running for their lives and wailing. This made him feel very satisfied and he was ready to rush over. Gao Shun said, "Can you still fight me again?"
Gao Shun pulled out his knife and said to Lu Bu, "How dare you disobey me! It's just that you can't rush into the battle without a knife." It turned out that Gao Shun was slashing all the way, and even the blade in his hand broke. Now the knife is covered with minced meat, fat and blood. All dyed red.
Lu Bu asked with a smile: "How can I be slack in sharpening my sword before the battle?" After that, he gave the sword on his waist to Gao Shun and said, "You should be known as a hero in the world!" After that, the two of them reorganized their camp again and turned around without taking any rest. Then fight into the barbarian formation. When Liu Bei saw this, he couldn't help but held his whip and sighed to Guan Yu: "He is really a flying general!" Guan Yu saw that the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu was as strong as flying, and he couldn't help but nod in envy and said: "He is really a divine steed!"
The army's morale and morale had been lost. Dugu Liwei knew that defeat was certain and further fighting would only increase casualties. He then untied the ancestral flag, put it in his arms, and said sadly to his subordinates: "Quickly withdraw, today's battle will You all can only seek your own way to survive. The sun is shining, and I wish you all good luck in martial arts!" After that, he wrapped his face with a cloak, threw away the bow and arrow on his saddle, took only the knife and fled to the west. .
Even the main general fled for his life, so how could the other generals still have the will to fight? They dispersed like birds and beasts and went their separate ways. At this time, the two armies were fighting. The Hu soldiers on the front line lost their fighting spirit when they saw this. However, they did not even have time to escape and surrender. They were chopped into pieces by the Han soldiers in the front line, and the rear line was being trapped back and forth. Wrathfully, the soldiers were completely defeated, and the mountains and plains were like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
In this battle, the Han army beheaded more than 4,000 people, captured more than 7,000 people, and more than 18,000 cattle and horses from the five counties. The entire five counties of Zenan were emptied of all the Hu people. More than half of the Dugu tribe was lost, and the Duke of Dugu was also beheaded. Su Kelan, even in the Battle of Chen Chonglin County, the result of annihilating 30,000 people was not inferior.
When Lu Bu had finished his killing and returned to meet Liu Bei. But when he saw three heads on his bow and two long bows on his waist, he smiled and said: "The barbarians have many capable people, but it's a pity that they bumped into me, Lu Bu. My martial arts is not good, so I can only use it as my drinking money." Liu Bei He was also happy, but he also warned: "Drinking is not suitable in the army. The last time Brother Lu and I drank in Jicheng, we broke the military rules, so we should be more careful."
Guan Yu sat aside at this time and pulled out the arrowhead from his shoulder blade to examine the wound. Fortunately, no muscles or bones were injured, but the triangle of the arrowhead had barbs. After being pulled out, the bleeding continued. Zhang Fei took a needle and thread, burned it with fire and stitched it up for him. But Guan Yu still smiled at Lu Bu and asked, "What a good horse! I wonder what kind of horse this is?"
Lu Bu was naturally proud and boasted about his mount: "Red Rabbit is a sweat-blooded horse from the Western Regions. I got it from the Meiji Horse Market three years ago. At that time, Red Rabbit was raised by mediocre merchants. It didn't have enough food, lacked strength, and was skinny." , no different from ordinary slave horses. When I bought the horse, I saw a red rabbit horse with the head of a tiger. Sometimes it screamed like a leopard, so I thought it was a divine horse. I bought it back to the army at a high price. I fed it for three months and supplemented it every day. With just one stone of refined materials, we can achieve what we have today, and we can travel thousands of miles in a day without any disadvantages.”
Guan Yu also sighed after hearing this: "I have often heard that a good horse is hard to find, but now after hearing Brother Lu's words, I know that it is the most difficult to find a good horse!"
In the midst of the celebration, Gao Shun came to ask Liu Bei, carrying the flag of capture, "I wonder what Captain Liu will do next?"
