Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Letting aside the matter of Lu Lingqi's intrusion into the anti-thief camp by accident, as Yuan Shao's message spread throughout the Kyushu, the princes who had been brewing for a long time also began to strive for their own goals.

The first to do it was Jiangdong and Jingzhou, the two teams that started preparations first.

Although many stumbling blocks are unavoidable, there is always a common interest for the time being. When Yuan Shao’s proclamation spread all over the world, Liu Biao had already vacated Jiangxia to Sun Ce, and also selectively released part of the guards of the Han River, so that the Jiangdong water army could be unhindered. pass.

Hanshui is like the lifeline of the army, allowing Jiangdong to easily send supplies to the front line through Hanshui. At the beginning of the seventh year of Xingping, Liu Biao led an army of 40,000 troops across the river to meet Sun Ce at Lulin Mountain, with Liu Pan as the main general, Wen Pin and Liu Hu as the subordinate generals.

In order to conquer Nanyang this time, Sun Ce also counted his capital and brought an army of 50,000, which is almost all the soldiers and horses that Sun Ce can mobilize now, leaving aside the defenders everywhere.

Compared with Liu Biao, Sun Ce has a stronger aggressiveness and dares to bet, after all, he is still young.

A total of 90,000 troops from both sides joined forces and marched towards Xinye with great momentum.

When Gao Shun got the news, he had just arrived in Xinye.

"A 100,000 army?" Hearing that there were nearly 100,000 troops in the two coalition forces, the magistrate of Xinye County couldn't sit still. There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, how to fight against an army of 100,000?

Gao Shun silently looked at the map without speaking.

"General, the small town of Xinye, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the 100,000 troops!" Seeing Gao Shun's silence, the magistrate of Xinye couldn't help persuading: "Why don't you withdraw the troops first?"

Gao Shun shook his head, pointed at the map and said, "Xinye must be defended. If Xinye cannot defend, the whole Nanyang will be in danger."

Xinye is the intersection of Jingzhou and Nanyang. Whoever owns it will be the door of his family. If Xinye is lost, then in the future, the 100,000 troops will be scattered, and it will be even more difficult to defend. Affect the defense line around Zhongyang Mountain.

"However, the enemy army has 100,000 troops, how can our army be stationed?" Xin Yeling sighed bitterly.

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong have always been at odds. Although the momentum is huge, they must not be in harmony." Gao Shun explained casually while looking at the map.

The number of troops is only one factor that determines the outcome of a war. It would be too one-sided to determine the outcome of a war just because of this. There must be problems within the coalition forces.

As for what the problem is, Gao Shun can't see it yet.

"Even if they can't be in the same heart, there are still hundreds of thousands of people." Xin Yeling looked at Gao Shun speechlessly, and wanted to say something, but Gao Shun raised his eyes to look at him. With that indifferent gaze, Xinye Ling got the words on his lips, Had to swallow it back.

"Compared to Yuan Shu's 300,000 army back then?" Gao Shun glanced at him indifferently, then continued to look at the map.

"Report~" While Gao Shun was looking at the map, a general came in and saluted Gao Shun, "General, the vanguard of the bandit army has reached ten miles outside the city, and there are about ten thousand people!"

"Five thousand elite soldiers to go out!" Gao Shun nodded, not prepared to defend to the death. If the two armies were fighting, if they just stood firm at the beginning, it would be almost a recognition of the enemy's strength and our weakness in action.

Once this kind of mentality is established, it will cast a shadow of defeat in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Here!" Pian Jiang agreed, turned and left.

"General, there are tens of thousands of thieves, and our army only sends five thousand. I'm afraid..." Xin Yeling couldn't help but want to persuade.

"If you know soldiers better than I do, you can bring them here. If you don't, just do your own thing with peace of mind!" Gao Shun turned his head and frowned at him.

"Here~" the county magistrate could only bow down and say yes.

After Gao Shun arranged the defense of Xinye, 5,000 elite soldiers had already been dispatched to line up in Xinye City. Gao Shun immediately went out of the city and commanded the soldiers and horses to set up a formation.

In the Jiangdong army, Tai Shici looked at Gao Shun's general flag from a distance, not wanting the enemy to go out of the city to fight under such circumstances, so he naturally saw the opponent's intentions.

"Array!" As a top general under Sun Ce's tent, Tai Shici naturally would not be afraid of the opponent, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to form an array, while he himself rode out.

Under the puzzled eyes of the soldiers of the two armies, Tai Shici suddenly rushed out on a flying horse, and shot three arrows in a row, each of which could shoot down a flag of the enemy army. But he was forced to retreat by a burst of riding and shooting.

However, if this is the case, the morale of Jiangdong's vanguard army will be greatly improved.

However, the Nanyang Army did not waver in any way.

Unlike most armies, after Gao Shun guarded Nanyang, military training was almost normal. Because it was an enclave, Lu Bu's support for Nanyang during the non-war period was the largest among all armies.

Not to mention the Western Regions, the garrison in Luoyang is not as strong as Nanyang, and it is also the priority supply place for various new equipment, and Gao Shunzhi's army's philosophy is to decentralize.

Under Lu Bu, many generals' style is centered on themselves, including the top generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. As long as they are there, their morale can be doubled, and their combat methods are also centered on them.

However, Gao Shun is completely different from the others. He does not advocate individual bravery, but overall cooperation. The army is just one person, who cooperate closely but perform their own duties. Or if the military flag falls, it must be erected as soon as possible. The reason is not to affect morale, but to cause confusion in command.

So when Jiangdong's morale was greatly shaken, what he saw was Gao Shun's side quickly changed a few flags, other than that, there was no change.

Tai Shici also noticed this, his head start did not achieve the desired effect, his expression gradually became dignified, facing this Nanyang army, four words appeared in his mind involuntarily - immovable as a mountain!

This is the feeling of this army, standing still, five thousand people seem to be one person, this is the first time he has encountered such an opponent on the battlefield.

Since it's useless to grab people first, then we can only do it for real.

Realizing that the enemy was difficult to deal with, Tai Shici adjusted his formation and ordered the soldiers on the two wings to advance from both sides, coordinating with the Chinese army to encircle the opponent. At this time, the enemy army had only two choices, retreat or advance.

To retreat is to avoid being surrounded, and to advance is to seek a decisive battle with the Chinese army. However, retreat may cause chaos, and advance will lead to encirclement. No matter which way the opponent chooses to defend against the enemy, Tai Shici has already thought out a countermeasure.

But the other party gave the third option...don't move!

But seeing Gao Shun waving the command flag quickly, the five thousand Nanyang troops quickly formed a circular formation, with wooden shields much larger than normal round shields erected in front of them, followed by spears sandwiched between the shields , like a round ring with barbs.

Further inside is the crossbowman.

The opponent's choice came second. What really made Tai Shici uncomfortable was the speed with which the opponent changed formation. At the same time, there was no confusion in such a quick change. This kind of control over the army was astonishing!

"Archers enter!" Facing this kind of army, Tai Shici didn't dare to besiege and kill rashly, he wanted to test with archers first!

The Jiangdong Army in the front row quickly retreated, while the archers in the back row rushed forward and fired arrows at the inside of the circle.

"Don't fight back, raise your shield to defend against the enemy!" Gao Shun watched the enemy's formation and ordered calmly.

In an instant, a large round shield that was much smaller than the surrounding area was lifted up to face the overwhelming rain of arrows, and some people fell down from time to time, but the entire army formation was terribly quiet, except for the sound of arrows hitting the wooden shield and the sound of arrows hitting the wooden shield. Except for a few muffled hums from time to time, no other sounds can be heard.

Tai Shici still has great confidence in his own bows and arrows. The Jiangdong army mainly focuses on water warfare, not to mention other abilities, but the quality of this archery and bow and crossbow is definitely the best in the world. Seeing that the enemy was shot and was powerless to fight back , Tai Shici was finally relieved.

Immediately ordered the auxiliary armies on both sides to cooperate with the main force of the central army to attack the circular formation.

Tai Shici wanted to pry open the tortoise shell.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, the army quickly attacked Gao Shun's circle. Seeing the enemy getting closer, Gao Shun suddenly waved a red flag. Under the surprised eyes of Jiangdong soldiers, the wooden shield in front of the circle suddenly Withdrew, revealing the hideous crossbow machines behind them.

This kind of crossbow is different from ordinary crossbows in that it is larger in size, the bow arm alone is six feet wide, and there is a bracket under the crossbow body, it looks like a small bed crossbow.

"put!"

Without waiting for the Jiangdong Army to react too much, following the commanding officer's order, the crossbow bolt piercing through the air fiercely sank into the crowd amidst the bursts of humming, the power of the crossbow bolt was amazing, especially at this distance, even It is the shield hand holding the round shield who is shot, and can be directly shot through by the crossbow arrows and the shield together.

And the most frightening thing is that these crossbows can shoot three arrows in succession instead of shooting one arrow. If you stand on a high place and look down, you can clearly see that the Jiangdong soldiers who had surrounded them fell down in pieces, and the battlefield was instantly destroyed. Filled with bloody breath.

Although the Jiangdong army had thought that the enemy would counterattack and was prepared, the enemy's counterattack was stronger than anyone expected. With this thing, why did they have to be shot by the archers just now?

At this moment, the Jiangdong Army can no longer think about these issues. This round of crossbow arrows has dealt too much damage to morale. Many Jiangdong soldiers have already begun to flee, and this behavior is spreading rapidly to the surroundings. kind.

Obviously, Gao Shun would not miss this opportunity. The crossbowman behind rushed out holding a crossbow, and after shooting a crossbow box at the Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army had completely fled. Tai Shici rushed out several times to kill him. The general will capture the flag and turn the tide, but he can't figure out which direction the enemy's commander is in.

Seeing more about Lu Bu's beheading plan, Gao Shun set up three general flags with the same style and different colors. Only his own people knew what colors they were. From the perspective of others, they were all the general's flags.

Although Tai Shici was highly skilled in martial arts, he couldn't hold back the general situation. After fighting hard for a while, he still retreated with the defeated army.

Gao Shun didn't chase too much, and after chasing for ten miles, he ordered his troops to withdraw.

This is just a vanguard, the real big battle is behind!
