Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 280: Follow the trend

Even with the advance warning sent by Hua Xiong, when Lu Kuang's defeated army appeared in the rear, the soldiers left behind by Hua Xiong could not help but create some commotion.

"Hold on, that's a defeated army!" Several generals kept shouting in the formation to calm the soldiers' emotions.

But the commotion here has attracted Gao Lan's attention. From such a distance, he naturally couldn't see what was going on here. He just thought it was Lu Kuang leading his army, and without saying a word, he looked at this person. launched an attack.

"kill!"

Following Gao Lan's order, his soldiers immediately moved towards the Guanzhong Army on the opposite side to kill each other. The two sides fought in close combat, sharp arrows piercing the air, and they fought in one place.

Several generals remembered Hua Xiong's instructions and focused on defense, forming a shield formation to withstand Gao Lan's charge.

Soon, Gao Lan realized something was wrong. Instead of attacking the enemy's formation, Lu Kuang's army rushed towards his own army's formation.

what happened! ?

Gao Lan frowned slightly, this was not reinforcements, it was clearly a defeated army. Just as he was puzzled, Hua Xiong led 500 soldiers from the offensive battalion and had already come out. After seeing Gao Lan's main force, Hua Xiong shouted excitedly : "Fire the arrow!"

"咻咻咻~"

Five hundred people fired five thousand crossbow arrows in a very short period of time, overwhelmingly shooting towards Gao Lan's army. In fact, the killing caused by five thousand arrows may only be about 500 people, but these five hundred people He was shot and killed in a very short time, and the visual shock and oppression caused by this were by no means as simple as the death of 500 people.

There is a huge difference between killing 500 people in one battle and killing 500 people in an instant.

With the addition of the attacking battalion, the battle situation instantly reversed. No matter how strong Gao Lan was, he was first charged by his own defeated army, and then was severely beaten by Hua Xiong with a repeating crossbow. His originally high morale suddenly fell to the bottom, and became more and more difficult. More and more people began to flee.

On the other side, the defenders of Jiguan saw Hua Xiong's signal, but the enemy army was already collapsing. Their morale was shaken, and they immediately turned from defense to offense and launched a counterattack against Yuan's army.

"Don't panic!" Gao Lan tried his best but could not stabilize the morale of the army. Obviously their troops were several times that of Hua Xiong, but when the rebel army rushed, the formation was in chaos. No matter how many soldiers were there, they could not mobilize at this moment. On the contrary, It was Hua Xiong who led the 500 soldiers of the offensive battalion to clash back and forth among the rebellious army, constantly tearing Gao Lan's army apart.

"Hua Xiong, don't be so arrogant!" Gao Lan was going crazy. As soon as he stabilized his position, Hua Xiong led his men to defeat the other side. After that side was stabilized, this side was rushed again. Five hundred people Like a loach burrowing into the mud, it is slippery, but it has teeth, and its bite is extremely painful. If this group of people is not destroyed, I am afraid that my own army will be defeated by Hua Xiong with a small number and a large number. Creation Hua Xiong’s reputation has grown.

Gao Lan and Hua Xiong had been fighting for so long, and the two sides were almost at the same level. Naturally, he couldn't accept the fate of being defeated by Hua Xiong with less and more. He immediately gathered a group of people and rushed towards Hua Xiong.

When Hua Xiong saw this, he was happy and undaunted. He raised his sword high and laughed loudly: "It's not too late to surrender now!"

"Surrender your mother!" The two men and horses collided with each other in the chaos. Hua Xiong's long sword rolled towards Gao Lan with a strange energy. This was the method he learned from Lu Bu to treat light things as heavy things. , the knife seems slow, like hanging a thousand pounds, but it is actually extremely fast. Once it hits the enemy, it is extremely powerful and difficult for ordinary people to defeat.

Gao Lan had fought against Hua Xiong more than once or twice. He was very knowledgeable and did not dare to neglect, so he raised his gun to parry.

"Bang~"

Gao Lan was staggered by the muffled sound, but Hua Xiong's inevitable blow was blocked after all.

This sword came with full force. Once it was blocked, it would be difficult to have such power unless it was recharged. The first time he fought against Hua Xiong, Gao Lanke was startled, thinking that Hua Xiong was far more powerful than him. Above, but in fact the level of the two is not much different.

Hua Xiong was not surprised when the sword failed to accomplish anything, and continued to fight with the sword.

One is quick with swords and horses, and the other is deadly with guns. They are both together, and for a moment it is indistinguishable.

However, although Hua Xiong was blocked, the military formation on Gao Lan's side was already in chaos, but the main force on the other side surged forward, accelerating the collapse of Gao Lan's army.

Gao Lan blocked Hua Xiong, but he couldn't stop the army from collapsing. Seeing this, he naturally had no desire to fight. He roared repeatedly but was held back by Hua Xiong. He could only watch his army go from chaos to collapse until it was irreversible.

Gao Lan fought for his life like crazy and forced Hua Xiong back, then turned his horse and ran back with the defeated army.

"You're still in a hurry!" Looking at the direction in which Gao Lan was escaping, Hua Xiong smiled disdainfully, but he did not let go of his opponent. He led his men and horses to pursue him all the way to the foot of Zhi County, leaving corpses everywhere. When the defenders of Zhi County came out to form a formation, Hua Xiong ended the pursuit.

In this battle, Hua Xiong defeated the enemy with 3,000 and 12,000, and killed Gao Lan with corpses everywhere. It was considered a great victory. The most important thing was that he blocked Gao Lan in Zhi County and created opportunities for Xu Rong to cross the river. enough time.

Of course, Hua Xiong was obviously not satisfied with this. He directly built the general camp under Zhi County and clamored to Gao Lan to invite war.

"Hua Xiong, a common man, is going too far!" In Zhi County, hearing Hua Xiong yelling and cursing outside the city, Gao Lan was trembling with anger but had no choice but to do anything.

They had just suffered a defeat and their morale was low. Moreover, Hua Xiong was quite a thief. There were people stationed at the gates on all sides. Who knew which one was holding the repeating crossbow?

Although he has more soldiers now, the city gate is only so big. If he guesses wrong and bumps into Hua Xiong's troops armed with repeating crossbows, they will be shot back with crossbow arrows before they can leave the city.

I don’t know how many opponents have this kind of repeating crossbow. This time I lost to Hua Xiong not only because he was inferior to Hua Xiong, but because Hua Xiong had a powerful weapon in his hand. Once the repeating crossbow was fired, especially when it was used in a complete film, it was really difficult to defeat Hua Xiong. Morale has a devastating impact.

Until now, Gao Lan was still thinking about how to deal with the repeating crossbow. He could only block it with a shield formation, and then counterattack when the arrows were exhausted. After all, the opponent's arrows could not be unlimited.

But regardless of whether there is a way to break it or not, Gao Lan can only endure it when facing Hua Xiong's clamor. If he loses another game now, his morale will be lost.

Seeing that Gao Lan did not send troops, Hua Xiong was also happy. After fighting with Gao Lan for so long, he did not think that he could really win with less and defeat Gao Lan completely with a gap of ten times the strength. He just wanted to give him a hand. Xu Rong was just fighting for the opportunity to cross the river.

On the other side, Wen County is where Xu Rong chose to cross the river. Although the Yellow River is long, just like the Yangtze River, there are not many places suitable for large armies to cross the river. There is a section here in Wen County that will become flat in winter as the water level drops. The potential is exposed and suitable for landing.

After Xu Rong received Lu Bu's order, he immediately transferred his troops to Mengjin to collect the ferry. After leaving Wei to continue guarding Hulao Pass, he ordered Cheng Lian to lead his troops ashore first. It would be best to capture Wen County to support the follow-up army to cross the river.

Of course, there is nothing to say about crossing the river. Gao Lan's main force was blocked by Hua Xiong in Zhi County. Don't say that he didn't know, even if he knew, he couldn't rush to stop them at this moment.

However, Cheng Lian crossing the river naturally attracted the attention of another group of people, and it was here that the Sima family in Hanoi was located.

When Sima Fang heard the news that the Guanzhong Army had crossed the river, he immediately wanted to gather private soldiers from the clan to stop the other party, but was stopped by Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, what do you mean?" Sima Fang frowned and looked at his second son.

"Father, our Sima family will have no mercy if we try to stop him at this time!" Sima Yi looked at his father and said, "That Gao Lan has been restrained by Hua Xiong, and it is difficult to rush back in such a hurry. I am afraid that our Sima family will not be able to stop Xu. Glory."

"Could it be that the national thieves are so rampant!?" Sima Fang said angrily.

In the Battle of Zhongmu, news of Yuan Shao's defeat at the hands of Lu Bu had come back. Xu Rong, who had been guarding Luoyang, suddenly crossed the river. This obviously meant that Lu Bu had decided to switch from defensive to offensive. If the enemy troops were allowed to land successfully, by then At that time, Hanoi may become Lu Bu's territory.

Once Hanoi falls, it will threaten Yuan Shao's rear. Yuan Shao's army in the front will be in danger, and he may face the possibility of being cut off by Lu Bu at any time.

"The power has been established. If we help Mr. Yuan at this time, I'm afraid..." Sima Yi sighed and said to his father: "If Mr. Yuan is defeated, he can still return to Jizhou, but our Sima family will be annihilated!"

Sima Yi saw clearly that although the alliance of princes in the world was not strong this time, they were defeated by the opponent in such a short period of time and started to counterattack. Lu Bu's military power was already stronger than that of the princes.

If the Sima family helps Yuan Shao at this time, judging from Lu Bu's past behavior principles, the Sima family can directly be declared destroyed.

Although their positions are different, preserving the family is still the most important thing at this time.

"Do you know what will happen to our Sima family if Lu Bu gets Hanoi?" Sima Fang glared at Sima Yi.

"Of course I know." Sima Yi nodded: "But I know better that if my father insists on sending troops to help, our Sima family will be reduced to history!"

Hanoi is the closest to Guanzhong, and the Sima family is a prominent family in Hanoi. Sima Yi knows more about the situation in Guanzhong than others. It is by no means as unbearable as the rumored hell on earth. If this is true, this time the whole world will rise up against Lu Bu, and Lu Bu will If you don't sit in Chang'an, why is there no one in Chang'an to cause trouble?

Sima Yi knows better than anyone else the terrifying energy that Lu Bu now possesses. Especially after this battle, the attitude of the people of the world towards Lu Bu will inevitably change to a certain extent. In other words, Lu Bu's success is irreversible. In this case, Sima Yi naturally cannot I hope Sima will sacrifice his entire family to support Yuan Shao.

Sima Fang was stunned when he heard this, and finally fell silent.

If it were other princes, they would never have the guts to destroy his Sima clan, but if it were Lu Bu... Sima Fang would never have the guts to bet whether Lu Bu dared or not.

The answer is yes, I definitely dare.

Between family and position, it was easy to choose if it was a small family, but a big family like the Sima family had more to consider. In the end, Sima Fang could only sigh and gave up the idea of ​​sending troops to stop Xu Rong from crossing the river.

"Besides, prepare all your family's farm property in Hanoi and offer it to them proactively." Sima Yi reminded.

The results of active donation and passive collection are definitely different. Sima Fang was panicked when he heard this, but he knew that unless his Sima family left Hanoi, doing so was necessary. In the end, he could only nod helplessly and sighed. Said: "Zhongda wants to become an official?"

"My child wants to see Chang'an before making a decision." Sima Yi shook his head. It was still early to become an official. He wanted to see Chang'an with his own eyes before making a decision.

After all, with Lu Bu's background, it is really uncomfortable for him to be loyal to the Sima family. Sima Yi is an aristocratic at heart, so he recognizes Yuan Shao more than Lu Bu or Cao Cao. But the current situation is like this. If it is not possible, Sima Yi will do it. People cannot make choices that are in line with the general trend and go against the trend.
