Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 279 Hua Xiong goes to battle

Lu Bu was fighting fiercely with Yuan Shao in Zhongmu. On the Hulao side, Xu Rong, after receiving Lu Bu's order, did not wait for the Yellow River to freeze. He just sent someone to notify Hua Xiong to help him restrain Gao Lan and let him cross the river. The main force was transferred to Mengjin to collect ferries and prepare to forcefully cross the river.

On the other side, when Hua Xiong received Xu Rong's order, he was favoring such a few people on his side and not allowing the indiscriminate use of repeated crossbows. How could he defeat Gao Lan's 30,000-strong army.

He and Gao Lan had several small-scale battles before, and they won and lost without using the repeating crossbow. Generally speaking, there were few people on his side, so in proportion, it was actually a loss, but It was precisely because of these several battles that Gao Lan was not sure how many people there were in Jiguan, and the terrain was difficult, so he did not dare to attack blindly, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

But this time, Xu Rongxin mentioned that repeating crossbows could be used in this battle, mainly to contain Gao Lan's army and cover the main force of Heluo crossing the river. This made Hua Xiong extremely happy.

"Come here, pass on my military order and dispatch three thousand soldiers and horses to follow me out of the city to fight!" Hua Xiong said with excitement.

"General, there are only four thousand soldiers and horses in the city now. It is too risky to mobilize three thousand soldiers and horses now, no!" A deputy general quickly stopped Hua Xiong. In fact, there are not many people in Jiguan. There were five thousand at first, and then one after another After a few more battles, there will naturally be losses. One or two hundred at a time is not much, but if we fight a few more games, we will have just over four thousand left.

"This is the general's intention. In addition, the five hundred repeating crossbows will be sent to the attack camp. You see, the general has approved the use of repeating crossbows this time and asked us to help him contain Gao Lan so that the main force can cross the river!" Hua Xiong Show Xu Rong's letter to the deputy general.

Attack camps are set up in every army. They select a group of elite soldiers from each army. Hua Xiong naturally has them here, but the equipment is not as good as the batch when Lu Bu conquered Shu. Hua Xiong can only use his shameless spirit. , crying with Lu Bu and then crying with Xu Rong, in short, he got the equipment of 500 people, including repeating crossbows and armors.

These five hundred offensive battalions were the lifeblood of Hua Xiong, and they could not move easily. Now that Xu Rong was crossing the river, it was a general offensive posture, so Hua Xiong decided to use the critical battalions.

I heard that the lord has already conquered Zhongmou from Shuzhong, so he needs to make a great contribution here. I think this Gaolan is good.

"General, even so, this repeated crossbow is related to our army..." The deputy general couldn't help but want to persuade him. He felt that leaving the repeated crossbow in the city would be helpful for defending the city. What if he took it out and couldn't get it back? But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Lan.

"Why are you so verbose?" Hua Xiong frowned and said, "Who has the final say in Jiguan?"

This deputy general is really bad. No wonder Hao Zhao can stand alone. He joined the army earlier than Hao Zhao. Now he is just an army commander. He can't even see the situation. Now is the time to attack. Lian Nu remains behind. Can Jiguan give birth to cubs or something? Besides, if you don’t have this thing, you can beat yourself on the head for three thousand against thirty thousand?

This guy is not good. I heard that my lord conquered Shu and accepted a lot of people. Next time we meet, I have to see if there are any suitable ones for me. The young man from Fazheng is actually pretty good.

"You stay to defend the city. The rest of the soldiers will follow me out of the city!" After Hua Xiong finished speaking, he raised his sword and directed the soldiers out of the city.

Five hundred repeating crossbows, each equipped with three crossbow boxes, have been useless to Gao Lan in combat before, but this time they are going to show him where the reputation of the most powerful general in this level comes from!

Under the command of Hua Xiong, three thousand troops surged out and headed straight for Zhi County where Gao Lan was stationed. On the other side, Gao Lan heard that Hua Xiong had brought three thousand men out of the city to fight this time. This was Hua Xiong's first time. Gao Lan couldn't help but be overjoyed to bring so many people out of the customs, and quickly ordered 5,000 troops to go out of the city to fight.

The two sides had previously fought in a small scale, and it can be said that they knew each other well. Hua Xiong was indeed a good general, and the level of the soldiers under his command was higher. Gao Lan said that with five thousand against three thousand, Hua Xiong should not be scared away, but this is the only thing that can be said. Not enough, he ordered his general Lu Kuang to lead 7,000 troops and horses to take the mountain road to cut off his retreat. When the time came, they would attack from two directions and capture Hua Xiong alive.

Hua Xiong dared to lead the main force out of the border this time, so he was naturally not afraid of the opponent's ambush, and even wanted the opponent to divide his troops. In this way, it would obviously be easier to defeat them one by one.

Near noon, the two groups of men and horses met in the distance. Hua Xiong saw the enemy's flag and sneered, but did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he asked the soldiers of the three armies to stop, went straight to the front of the formation, and shouted to Gao Lan: "Gao Lan." Lan, I see that you have great generals, but it would be a pity to follow Yuan Shao, why not surrender?"

"My lord, the fourth and third prince, is famous all over the world. Compared with this, what virtue does your lord have?" Gao Lan sneered.

"Hey, what's the matter? Is Yuan Benchu ​​good for nothing except his birth? My Lord decided to pacify Xiliang in Guanzhong. In these troubled times, he brought great peace to Guanzhong, made the Western Region more powerful, and brought all nations to come to court. Let Yuan Benchu ​​go up and down, he is ordinary Which generation of ancestors can achieve such feats, I will leave immediately!" Hua Xiong was obviously disdainful of Gao Lan's remarks.

Originally, regardless of one's origin, they are all princes. Is it interesting to fight for one's origin? Besides, the achievements that Lu Bu has done now, let alone Yuan Shao, if you count up the Yuan family, up to Yuan An, who can compare with Lu Bu in terms of achievements?

The ancestors you are proud of are not as good as my lord, so you are nothing.

Gao Lan was at a loss for words. This was the first time he had heard of such an argument. Don't tell me, it really makes sense. Of course, it is impossible to surrender directly if you can't say it on the battlefield. I won't say it if you can't say it. Everyone is a general. He said what those useless people were doing, and immediately said: "Lü Bu deceived the emperor and committed a crime. This is a heinous crime!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Since you are here today, do you dare to attack? I will show you something good!" Hua Xiong said proudly to Gao Lan.

He really has something good to show Gao Lan. Few people from Guandong like Lian Nu have seen the real thing, right?

Naturally, Gao Lan could not go up so rashly. He had to wait for Lu Kuang, who had detoured behind enemy lines, to cooperate with him in attacking Hua Xiong. He did not attack at the moment, but sneered: "Then why don't you attack?"

"If I take action, I'm afraid you won't have a chance. You are also a famous general in Hebei after all, and I am a famous general in the world. No matter what, I have to give you two points, lest others say that I am not strong enough to win!" Hua Xiong said proudly.

A famous general in the world?

Gao Lan stared at Hua Xiong from a distance, how dare he say that!

However, it is not wrong to say that he is famous all over the world. Hua Xiong is a general who has been famous since the Dong Zhuo era. He has also been relatively active under Lu Bu in recent years. It is not wrong to say that he is a famous general in the world, but calling himself a famous general is always a bit strange. weird.

Seeing Hua Xiong not moving, Gao Lan sneered and said, "Okay, if you don't move, I won't move."

This doesn’t quite resemble Gao Lan’s style!

Hua Xiong looked in the direction of Gao Lan and narrowed his eyes slightly. The two sides had fought many times, and he had a general understanding of the opponent's military style and personality. Gao Lan talked a lot of nonsense today, and he refused to come up. Could it be that he already knew what he had brought with him? Repeating crossbow? Is there any detailed work in Guanzhong?

But even if there is, the news cannot be so fast.

Just as he was thinking about it, a general quickly came to Hua Xiong's side, bowed and said: "General, there are a large number of enemy sightings in the rear of our army."

rear?

Hua Xiong looked in Gao Lan's direction and sneered, he was waiting here.

Immediately, another lieutenant was recruited and asked to form a formation to continue the confrontation with Gao Lan. If the other side moved troops, just form a defensive formation and wait for him to return.

After the explanation, Hua Xiong looked in the direction of Gao Lan and shouted: "Okay, as you say, it depends on who can outlast the other! If the three armies form a formation, if the enemy cannot move, I cannot move!"

At that moment, three thousand soldiers and horses quickly formed a circular formation. When the formation changed at the same time, the attacking battalion quickly retreated to the rear. Hua Xiong pointed at Gao Lan and said: "Let me see how long your energy is used up!"

After saying that, he returned to his own formation, and then under the cover of the banner, he led the 500 soldiers from the offensive battalion and quickly walked back along the mountainside. On the other side, Gao Lan sneered when he saw this, and waited for Lu Kuang to come out from behind with his men and horses, waiting for the enemy. In times of confusion, immediately flank the opponent.

Hua Xiong led a 500-strong offensive battalion, and under the leadership of scouts, he soon saw a Yuan army gathering, apparently just coming out of the mountains.

What a waste! This small number of people can't be assembled in a long time!

Hua Xiong looked at the time and decided not to wait. Who knows if Gao Lan would be unable to sit still and take action after not seeing a response for a long time. He immediately said to the 500 soldiers of the offensive battalion: "We only brought three boxes of crossbow arrows, so save some. After emptying a box of crossbow arrows, use knives and spears to charge into the formation!"

After the explanation, he immediately commanded the attack battalion to attack. Lu Kuang had just organized his army, and before he could give the order to go out, he saw a group of troops suddenly coming out from the flank. Although he was a little surprised, seeing that there were few people on the other side, he didn't take it seriously. Immediately order the soldiers to change directions and defeat the ambush first.

But before he could complete his turn, he saw rows of crossbow arrows flying towards him. The soldiers of Yuan's army fell instantly before they had time to react, and the military formation that had just been assembled was instantly in chaos.

However, the nightmare has just begun.

Lu Kuang was not in a panic at this time. After all, the opponent only had a few people. After shooting an arrow, how could the next few hundred people fight seven thousand people?

But the development of the matter was beyond his expectation. When he saw that the opponent had finished shooting an arrow, he had no time to block, so he simply did not let the shield soldiers prepare. However, the opponent's crossbow did not stop. After one arrow was shot, there was another, and then With the third and fourth arrows, many shield soldiers were shot down, and there seemed to be an endless supply of crossbow arrows.

Lu Kuang finally realized something was wrong and quickly ordered the shield soldiers to form a formation.

But at this time, people were dead in large swaths and forming formations. The quick-thinking ones had begun to run away, and fewer and fewer people were sticking to their positions.

The opponent's arrows finally stopped after shooting an unknown number of times. But at this time, the entire military formation had been almost destroyed. Those who were not dead had all run away. Most of those who remained in place were unable to fight. Seeing this, Lu Kuang hurriedly He turned his horse's head and wanted to run, but when he heard the sound of horse hooves, Hua Xiong was riding a great horse from Dawan and was already galloping towards him. When he saw Lu Kuang, he raised his knife and dropped it without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Kuang wanted to block, but his back was to Hua Xiong, and it was too late to twist his waist and exert force. Before the gun was halfway through, Hua Xiong's sword had cut off the head, and only the headless body remained to turn and defend against the enemy. The posture rushed out more than ten feet and then fell down from the horse without any strength!

Looking at the corpse of the thief, and then at the Yuan army running away in embarrassment, Hua Xiong chuckled, and with a plan in mind, he said to everyone: "Put on the crossbow box, but you are not allowed to shoot without my order!"

The soldiers in the attack camp didn't know why, but they still followed Hua Xiong's order, put on their crossbow boxes, and then drove the remaining troops towards the main army. At the same time, Hua Xiong also sent someone to tell the deputy general that no matter what happened, just Just guard against Gao Lan...
