There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
What about Lu Bu? No matter how famous he is, doesn't he still have a head on his shoulders? He doesn’t have three heads and six arms either!
As long as Lu Bu is killed, he can reach the sky and become a master in one step. Fight for it!
Ji Ling's soldiers rushed forward, howling and screaming as if they were possessed.
Lu Bu obviously didn't expect that the enemy would be so brave and fearless of death!
As soon as you kill one, two more will come up to attack you. You can’t finish them all, you can’t finish them all!
While fighting and retreating, Lu Bu finally couldn't hold on any longer. He whistled and started to retreat with his men!
Seeing that Lu Bu was about to run away, Ji Ling became even more energetic! Being able to defeat Lu Bu is something you can brag about for the rest of your life.
If he could kill Lu Bu personally, wouldn't he become the most powerful general in troubled times?
First, let these cannon fodders entangle Lu Bu and consume his strength. When Lu Bu has no strength, he will suddenly rush out and find the right opportunity to stab him!
"Charge the whole army! Don't leave Lu Bu!" Ji Ling waved his hand and rushed out with a three-pointed two-edged sword.
The coach personally went into battle, and his soldiers rushed towards Lu Bu in a swarm.
Upon seeing this, Lu Bu changed his attitude of retreating while fighting, turned his horse's head and ran towards a hill in the southeast.
After chasing for two or three miles, Lu Bu had already reached the foot of the hill and disappeared around a bend.
Ji Ling was afraid of missing this great opportunity to kill Lu Bu and make a name for himself, so he had already rushed to the front of the team.
But just after we rounded the foot of the mountain, the terrain suddenly became clearer! But Lu Bu no longer ran, but sat on his horse as if waiting for his arrival.
In front of Lu Bu was a row of infantrymen guarding more than a dozen wooden shelves. What were the black iron pipes on the wooden shelves?
"Faier!" Lu Bu waved his hand and said something that Ji Ling couldn't understand at all.
But the infantry clearly understood Lu Bu's order and lit the fuses of the two artillery pieces.
Although he didn't know what it was, Ji Ling instinctively felt that something was wrong. He instinctively leaned on the horse's back and hid his head behind the horse's neck.
It turns out how important this instinctive reaction is!
There was only a roar, accompanied by tongues of fire and black smoke, and the dozen or so cavalrymen who rushed to the front with Ji Ling fell down like leeks harvested by a sickle!
The wails of war horses, the screams of men, and the smoke and dust caused by the inertia of horses and men sliding on the loess after falling were mixed together, making the scene chaotic for a while.
However, this was just the beginning. The second and third cannons were heard all over the city.
But in the blink of an eye, those who followed Ji Ling and rushed to the front fell down. The fish that escaped the shells of the artillery were shot one by one by the archers in the back row.
Ji Ling, who was lying on the ground, was completely stunned!
What is this stuff? His own war horse was lying beside him, its thick neck bent at a strange angle.
One side of the horse's head was mangled with blood, and one eye was missing, leaving only a big bloody hole still bleeding out.
Some of the people around him had their arms and legs broken by the blast, and some were wailing on the ground holding the intestines flowing out of their stomachs.
Ji Ling felt like he was in hell and didn't even have the courage to stand up.
"Send the order to the left and right wings, attack!" Lu Bu shot an arrow and gave the order.
Then he urged his horse forward, stabbed Ji Ling with Fang Tian's painted halberd, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and said: "Ji Ling, don't pretend to be dead, get up!"
Before Ji Ling could react, Xu Chu had already jumped off the horse and lifted him up by the collar, as if he was lifting a chicken.
Two groups of men and horses came out from both sides. Zhao Yun on the left had a thousand cavalry, and Tai Shici on the right also had a thousand cavalry.
These two men did not charge directly towards the tens of thousands of enemy troops who were chasing after Ji Ling. Instead, they deliberately kept a distance of about fifty steps from them and only used bows and arrows to shoot.
This is the new tactic that Lu Bu has been training with Zhao Yuntai Shici and others during this period.
There have been constant battles in human history for thousands of years, but the Mongols are probably the ones who have used the power of cavalry to the fullest.
The most classic one is probably the two-wing detour tactic.
Send an army to attract the opponent head-on and confront the opponent, and then use the light cavalry on both wings to quickly detour and consume the opponent with their good mobility and the advantage of bows and arrows, waiting for opportunities to surround or surprise the enemy's rear.
Finally, the heavy cavalry from the front launched a fatal blow to the enemy.
Lu Bu wanted his men to master this set of tactics so that they could achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties.
Apparently he did today.
Although the training time was not long, Zhao Yun only chased Liu Bei once, and Tai Shici did not even have actual combat experience, but he was too weak to stand up to his opponent!
What's even more damning is that in order to play the role of the Yellow Turban Thief, Ji Ling listened to Li Ye's advice and did not let the soldiers wear armor!
And after two or three miles of pursuit, Ji Lingbu's entire team lost its formation completely and pulled out a loose straight line, like a long frozen snake lying on the plain.
In front of the wolf-like cavalry, they were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no backhand power at all.
Fortunately, the team was long enough, and Zhao Yun and Tai Shici only had 2,000 men, so it was difficult to kill them all at once.
Zhang Xun, who was following behind, saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly led his people to run back, hoping to run back to the camp and organize his team to fight Lu Bu.
This just suits Lu Bu's wish. He is afraid that after these tens of thousands of people are defeated, small groups will be difficult to control.
So he took Xu Chu and others behind and chased them back slowly.
Within a quarter of an hour, these Yuan Shujun who had just followed Ji Ling to chase Lu Bu happily ran back to the camp under the mine in embarrassment.
Fortunately, not everyone chased them out, and Yuan Yao led thousands of people to stay behind the camp.
These people stood behind the fence and faced the outside, picked up their bows and arrows, and shot them randomly.
Although it caused a lot of accidental injuries, it was considered that the two teams of Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun were stopped.
There were now more than 20,000 people in the camp, and everyone was busy putting on armor, picking up bows and arrows, and getting ready for defense.
Yuan Yao had never led an army before. He just thought that this time he was several times stronger than Lu Bu, and with Tao Qian as his internal support, it was not a matter of taking Lu Bu at his fingertips.
Especially taking over the mine without any resistance made Yuan Yao feel that getting rid of Lu Bu was just a matter of easy capture.
Who would have thought that so many people would chase after him, only to be chased back after a while!
At this time, Yuan Yao had already run out of ideas and asked Zhang Xun in a trembling voice:
"General Zhang! Why... why were you chasing Lu Bu just now, and now he is being chased back? Where is Marshal Ji Ling?"
