The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Shen Xing advocated retreat, and Guo Dian and others agreed.

After all, Dongwu City is not a big city like Ye City, which is not conducive to holding on. Therefore, retreating to Xindu City is the best strategy.

Guo Dian, Shen Xing and others reached a consensus that before the moth thieves arrived, the entire army would withdraw from the four gates and retreat to Xindu.

After Guo Dian and others withdrew, the Qingqi Battalion immediately reported the information to Zhou Cheng.

"Rats are vulnerable."

Zhou Cheng snorted disdainfully. He wanted to defeat Guo Dian and others in Dongwu City, but he didn't expect Guo Dian and others to be so cowardly.

He Man laughed loudly and immediately asked for a fight, saying:"Commander Qu, give me a team of men. , if I catch up now, I can defeat the enemy with one drum."

Although the total number of troops and horses of Guo Dian and others is more than 100,000, He Man is indeed very arrogant and does not take Guo Dian and others seriously at all.

In the eyes of He Man, these more than 100,000 troops and horses are nothing more than A bunch of rabble, vulnerable.

Is this guy too arrogant? Does he really treat the officers and soldiers like straw?!

That's all, let him suffer a little.

Zhou Cheng looked at He Man, thought for a while, and ordered:"You Lead an army of 100,000 as the vanguard and take the first step to capture Fuliu, Tangyang, Nangong, and Jingxian counties to clear the way for my commander."

"Here! He Man was overjoyed, and then led 100,000 troops and horses to take the lead and march quickly towards Fuliu City. As soon as

He Man left, Zhou Cheng ordered:"Follow me to the army and station in Dongwu City.""

……

November 184 AD.

Zhou Cheng led an army of 300,000 men and stationed in Dongwu City. The pioneer He Man successively captured Fuliu, Tangyang, Nangong, Jingxian and other cities, taking the population of the city and plundering grain, horses, pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock in the city with great momentum.

When Zhou Cheng entered Dongwu City to reorganize his troops and build siege equipment, Beizhonglang General Lu Zhi finally arrived at Xindu City.

At this time, at the gate of Xindu City, there were a large group of subordinate officials such as the prefects of various counties, the leading county magistrates, Zhongzheng, Gongcao, chief secretary, Sima, Lushi, Changshi, etc., at the gate of the city. Sister Ying Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi did not come to Jizhou alone. This time he came to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, and he brought 10,000 Southern troops.

The Southern Army and the Northern Army were both troops of the capital, but in terms of eliteness and numbers, the Northern Army was superior to the Southern Army.

Even so, the Southern Army was selected from county soldiers and was considered a strong army in the world.

Of course, for Guo Dian and others, they felt at ease when Lu Zhi came.

Lu Zhi is a well-known general in both civil and military affairs, so dealing with the moth thieves should not be a problem.

If the battle is won, they will all take credit. If the battle is lost, it is also Commander Lu Zhi's problem, and it has little to do with them, so he will not lose his official position.

This is also the reason why Shen Xing and others are unwilling to start a war in Dongwu City.

"teacher."

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly emerged from the crowd and took the initiative to see Lu Zhi.

When Lu Zhi was sent to Luoyang for questioning, Liu Bei was sincere and sent people to take care of the escorting troops and horses. Lu Zhi was moved.

Therefore, Lu Zhi After Lu Zhi heard Liu Bei's voice, he reined in his horse and ran away in search of fame.

He saw Liu Bei shirtless and with thorn sticks tied around his body, as if he was carrying a thorn stick to plead guilty.

Lu Zhi asked in surprise:"Xuande?" Why is this? Liu

Bei knelt on the ground, his eyes red from crying, and said:"Bei obeyed his master's kindness and followed General You Zhonglang to attack the Wancheng moth thief, but he failed to protect him, which resulted in General Right Middle Lang's death. Later, he followed General Zuo Chao to attack him." The thieves, in the battle at the Yellow River Ferry, failed to occupy the ferry, causing the moth thieves to flee north to Jizhou and wreak havoc on the counties. Bei led Zhuojun and Xiangyong in an attempt to save Ganling, but failed. The governor of Qinghe was killed and nearly Qianxiangyong was destroyed. This is a sin, please ask the teacher to punish you!"

Liu Bei's acting skills are absolutely great.

Of course, whether it is true or genuine, or fake.

His words are really touching.

Especially when thousands of people dare to save Ganling City, it is even more impressive. The prefects of various counties in Dongwucheng admired them. After all, they didn’t dare to act rashly even though they had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Why. Lu Zhi got off his horse, sighed, helped Liu Bei up, and said,"This is not your fault. Besides, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. Now you are returning to my tent. I will temporarily lead a battalion to attack the moth thieves tomorrow." I still need more efforts from your three brothers."

"Thank you teacher."Liu Bei fell to the ground.

……

Prefect's Mansion.

Now that Lu Zhi is here, the military meeting has a backbone.

Guo Dian said:"The moth thieves, with a vanguard of 100,000 men, have captured the four counties of Fuliu, Tangyang, Nangong and Jingxian, holding the people hostage. However, the thieves led an army of 300,000 men in the first week, but they were still reorganizing their troops in Dongwu City."

Lu Zhi said seriously:"Xuande listens to the order."

Liu Bei stood up immediately.

Lu Zhi said:"I order you to lead five thousand troops as the vanguard, and first defeat the vanguard of the moth thieves!"

"Here! Liu Bei responded loudly.

Liu Bei led five thousand troops and horses from the south gate of Xindu and went straight to Jingxian County.

The Qingqi Battalion was one step ahead and notified He Man

"There are only 5,000 people, how dare you come to die?"

He Man was very disdainful of Liu Bei and others. He led an army of 100,000 people and took more than 200,000 people with him.

Although these more than 200,000 people were civilians, and all they had were stones and wood. Sticks, a standard mob, but after being around Zhou Cheng for a long time, I understand that having more people is an advantage.

As long as you can make good use of the advantage of numbers, you can defeat the army.

At this time, long poles cut from the woods were arranged into A spear formation was formed.

At the same time, everyone had stones in their hands that could be thrown at the officers and soldiers at any time.

Two thousand archers, with bows and arrows

"Follow me and defeat the enemy!"

Liu Bei held two swords in both hands and came over to kill him. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed closely behind him.

Five thousand elite southern troops also came to kill them.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Everyone in the Southern Army was wearing armor. There were soldiers with swords and shields in the front row, cavalry on both sides to support them, and chariots in front to open the way. The army was majestic and murderous.

The captain next to He Man said:"General, this doesn't seem to be ordinary. of officers and soldiers."

He Man is not blind. The army and horses brought by Liu Bei are not county soldiers. Their equipment and momentum are not at the same level.

Sure enough, although the moth thieves' front army is massive, the Confederate army is like a lawn mower cutting into the lawn. In an instant, moth thieves fell to the ground.

He Man shouted:"The spear formation resists the enemy!

Liu Bei shouted:"Third brother, you lead the cavalry and charge in from the left!""

"Here!"

Zhang Fei led hundreds of cavalry, bypassed the spear formation, went directly to the weak area of ​​​​the moth thief, and forced his way in.

"Second brother, follow me directly to attack the enemy general! Liu

Bei said to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu nodded, then turned around the dock and followed Liu Bei around the spear formation.

Liu Bei admitted that the spear formation created by Zhou Cheng could not be used head-on without heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, but Zhou Cheng The biggest weakness of our troops is that they are not trained.

Therefore, it is difficult to change the gun formation. As long as you bypass the gun formation, you can cut the opening from the weak point.

Moreover, the large number of people trapped by the moth thieves will, once the war goes wrong, It will be defeated.
