New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 9: Manyi Valley

Eighty li north of Jiuyuan City is a huge canyon, with trees all over the valley, winding and winding, it is a good place to station troops. The name of this valley is Manyi Valley, where the Han, Xiongnu and Xianbei fought several times. There are lush forests in the valley, there are several streams, and the mountains outside the valley are like clusters, layered on top of each other, making it an excellent place to train.

Hundreds of strong men are divided into two teams and are conducting offensive and defensive exercises. More than two hundred light armored cavalry rolled in, rushing to the pawns waiting in line on the grassland. In the formation of the infantry, a group of heavy soldiers quickly connected dozens of empty trucks to form a ring, and then quickly ran back to the center of the formation.

The flag waved, and the drum of war sounded. More than a hundred swordsmen and shields emerged from the formation to form a ring, inserted the two blade tips under the great shield into the ground, and then held the shield with the left hand and the right hand with the knife, hiding the body behind the great shield. The second drum of war sounded, and two hundred lancers flew behind the sword shield hand, one left and the other hidden behind the shield. The third battle drum sounded, and three hundred crossbowmen lined up, aiming forward with their bows and arrows. At this time, the two hundred cavalry were only a hundred steps away, and the fourth battle drum sounded. Three hundred crossbowmen let out arrows together, and the rain of arrows flew towards the light armored cavalry. The crossbowmen used the classic three-stage shooting method of the Han army, which stretched endlessly.

After paying 30 to 40 casualties, the light armored cavalry finally approached the large formation, brandishing wooden knives and rushing towards the huge shield at the speed of their horses. The sword and shield soldiers held the huge shield tightly with their bodies, and the wooden spears in their hands pierced the two ribs of the light armored cavalry from the left and right sides of the two spearmen. The crossbowman kept aiming at the knight or war horse and shooting arrows. Caught off guard, thirty or forty light armored cavalry were picked off their horses. A dozen of them were very brave and hovered in the air with wooden knives and fell into the big formation. A scream suddenly sounded in the large array, and more than a dozen crossbowmen were chopped down by the light armored cavalry. Twenty or so spearmen turned around, two or three against one, and instantly stabbed the dozen or so people.

"War wounded!" "Dead in battle!" "Shield broken!" "Lack of horse!" Dozens of soldiers with white cloth on their arms reported the damage in a loud voice.

The battle outside the big formation was nearing its end. More than a dozen shields were knocked over, and most of the light armored cavalry were still blocked outside the shield formation. The fifth battle drum sounded, and more than a hundred people came out. Everyone wore heavy armor, iron helmets, iron masks on their faces, and a weird wooden knife with a nine-foot-long handle in their hands. These more than one hundred people lined up in three rows, the wooden sword pointed at the sky, and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" They stepped on the drums to force them towards the cavalry. Dozens of light-armored cavalry shot their bows and arrows at this small unit. The rain of arrows all over the sky only left a few white spots on the armor, and this small unit was not affected at all, still marching forward in great strides.

More than a hundred wooden knives swung in the air and slashed at once, and dozens of light armored cavalry were smashed under their horses. "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The heavy-armored infantry continued to march forward, a dozen light-armored cavalry brandished wooden knives and slashed at the heavy-armored infantry. "Ruling that the armor cannot be penetrated!" roared the soldier with his arms wrapped in white cloth. The heavy-armored infantry strode forward with the drumbeat, and dozens of them would fall down every time they raised their swords.

Seeing that the casualties were heavy and unable to break through the enemy's formation, one of the light armored cavalry squadrons whistled, and the remaining dozens of horses turned and rushed away!

Clang clang, a gong sounded, which was a signal to stop fighting. The two troops immediately stopped at the same place, wrapped their arms around the white cloth pawns and quickly moved forward to check the size and location of the gray spots on each person. At this time, the battle losses of the two small units have been counted. The cavalry killed 130 people, seriously injured 18 people, slightly injured 65 people, infantry killed 38 people, seriously injured 18 people, and slightly injured two. Thirteen people. Both units used wooden ordnance with a gray bag on the front end, and the arrows were also pulled out of the arrows. Minor injuries and deaths were calculated based on the gray points on their bodies.

It stands to reason that this kind of battle result is already very good by riding on the step. However, the leader of the team was very dissatisfied, and he was sternly training people there. "Let’s talk about the cavalry first. What is the formation of the Xianbei cavalry when they charge? What is the distance between the soldiers? Are you swarming like you? The Xianbei are not so stupid! How about your scout? The forward is only two hundred steps away from the main force, and the one behind is blocked. The troops slammed into it! Where are the classic tactics of the Xianbei people's pincer attack and diagonal crossbow attack?"

Uncle Du turned his head, and then scolded the infantry. "Also you, the heavy soldiers have finished placing the carts and the cavalry is still one mile away from you. What are you running in a hurry? Have you done the tactical actions that angered the enemy? Have you forgotten the cavalry to run five hundred steps away from the cart? And the crossbow Soldiers, three combos, the first blow is too early, only 30% of the cavalry enters the firing range, you should wait for half a cup of tea. The third blow is too late, the cavalry is too close, it should be half a cup of tea early. The most exasperating It is a trapped team. You should attack at a critical moment. You have to wait for the crossbowmen to shoot and kill some enemies. You block the impact of the cavalry, and the morale of the cavalry has vented before you attack!"

"Twenty days of training, it's still like this, against the real Xianbei cavalry, you are all dead long ago!" Uncle Du had a bit of hatred for iron and steel. The hundreds of men in front of him bowed their heads silently by Gao Shunxun, but none of them were unconvinced. Obviously, they had already recognized the fifteen-year-old boy. "Take a break for two sticks, continue training, which team lost, and washed the clothes of that team for three days!" "Aw!" This was a blast, and the queue began to buzz and wash others. Men's clothing, this is a great shame! "Did you let you talk? Quiet! If you lose, you will be punished! How can you go to the battlefield without this courage? Leave Zuoquqiantun as soon as possible without the courage! Don't want such a cowardly Zuoquqiantun! Disband!" The bang broke up, but the officers didn't take a break. They talked in twos and threes. According to the usual practice, the next exercise would definitely be an exchange of riding steps. They didn't want to wash other people's dirty clothes.

Du Bo came to Lu Bu, poured three bowls of bitter tea in a row, wiped his mouth and sat opposite Lu Bu. "The chief, better than expected, the tactics of the even-level, five-level, and team-level are no problem. Such a tune-scale tactics can be used in three or five days. It's just that the weapons that fall into the camp have not yet been found. , Armor and horses are still short of 20%." Lu Bu patted Dubo's shoulder: "How about defense, assault, alternate cover and retreat, forcible marching, mixed footing?" "It's been a month, these are all right." It’s time to take a few battles with Xianbei."

The uncle nodded and sat down to think about his thoughts. He is nine feet tall, fifteen or six years old, born dark and stout, and his face is always stern without a trace of smile. He is Gao Shun, one of the two uncles under Lu Bu's command. "Yes, everything is based on actual combat. You know the situation in Zuoquqiantun. Whenever something happens, we will be sent out, and when it comes to supplies and care, we will pretend to be deaf. If we hadn’t practiced more than a thousand selfishness a long time ago. Soldiers are over." Gao Shun nodded: "This is not a long way to go. Find an opportunity to talk about the conditions above. It turns out that you have a military order with Zhang Gao, and if Zhang Heizi is eliminated, you will be promoted to the army. Who wants He had his head cut off! It turned out to be the mastermind of a major smuggling case! Chief, you didn't ask him to move when Liu Qingcheng left?"

Lu Bu glanced at Gao Shun in surprise: "Okay! You have made progress! You know that the trusteeship has gone through the back door? Old Liu is a good guy, and he secretly left us 600 horses and a lot of military supplies before leaving. Said that these were all smuggled by Zhang Gao, and reported it to make others greedy for ink. It was better to leave it to his own people. He was very interesting. Hou Cheng was more savvy and gave him a five-hundred-gold gift without saying anything. Now The new prefect has not yet arrived, Ma Han and Huang Chong can't be the masters. Now they can't find the temple gate with the pig's head, or wait. What was the result of the battle with the two hundred Qiang soldiers of Wei Yue yesterday?"

When it comes to battle formation, Gao Shun is like a different person, his entire face glowing red. "The two hundred Qiang soldiers deserved to be tuned by the old man. They are simply the killers on the battlefield. The martial arts are superb and the bow and horse are proficient. Not to mention, the offensive and defensive battle alone is stronger than us! My thousand people have supported us for an hour. It collapsed. In the next ten days, I am going to ask them to bring something with them, and practice it." Lu Bu was a little surprised. "One hour? Very good! The old man himself said that the five schools of the Beijing Army can choose a thousand people, and it will collapse within a quarter of an hour." Gao Shun pouted: "Those splendid Beijing troops have not been on the front line for many years. How can they compare to the top? Army! The best soldiers are in the world. As long as I have 800 elite soldiers in my hand, I will be in the camp, and I will surely gallop the world!"

Lu Bu patted Gao Shun's shoulder: "Xiao Shunzi, let's find a chance. Now the situation is not good. It would be nice to keep this Zuo Quqian. There are already more than a thousand private soldiers. If you have more, you will get into trouble. It’s not a taboo to be a military prince and raise three thousand private soldiers. As you know, these thousand people have emptied our family. I have ordered Lu Mo’s craftsman camp to make full efforts to develop the armor. There will be news. The horses are easy to say. When Hou Cheng comes back from Chang'an, every soldier will have two or three horses. Your camp needs at least two Xiliang horses, and you need two Wuheng horses in rotation. The horses are used for camel armor supplies, and the attendants must have two Uheng horses."

At this time, seven or eight war horses galloped up in the distance. At first, one person was thick and thick, with a black black Wuheng horse under his crotch, and a few people behind him were all-colored burgundy Wuheng horses. Lü Bu laughed: "Hou Cheng can't help but say that, as soon as I say it, it will be there." Gao Shun's face is still a slab: "Dark black with maroon, it can be imagined by Lao Hou, like a **** spot on red cloth." Lü Bu Can't help but smile, Gao Shun can also make cold jokes? It's rare to say a cold joke so seriously.

Hou Cheng is in his twenties, is eight feet tall, has a burly body and a huge nose on his face. He is often used as an indecent metaphor. Seeing Lv Bu and Gao Shun both jumped out of Malay and laughed at Hou Cheng. "Tutorial and Lao Gao are there? It's easy! I'll pick up the Xiliang horses right away. There are a thousand horses! It's cheaper in Wuwei, four thousand dollars a horse! In Luoyang you can sell for 20,000 dollars. !" Hou Cheng walked closer, poured a large bowl of herbal tea, and said non-stop. "It's still the tutor's method that works! I took the first 30 million yuan from the old man and went to Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang. A catty of gold was not more than 8,000 yuan! I quickly cashed 3,500 catties of luck. To Luoyang, my grandmother! One catty of gold was 12 thousand, and this trip made 14 million. I went to Wuwei and bought 3,000 Xiliang horses. I sold half of them in Luoyang and bought it. As for the supplies, there are still 40 million in your hand! You are really a genius if you are not a businessman!"

Lu Bu smiled slightly. "Lao Hou, this can only be done once in half a year. If you do too much, the market will come down! How about this casualty?" Hou Cheng patted his thigh. "Eight died, twelve severely injured, thirty-eight slightly injured. If it weren't for the 300 elites, they would almost never come back!" "The pension for the dead is doubled, and the family of the wife and daughter properly arrange it, and the pension for the serious injury is 50% more. Arrange to do some light work in the manor, plus two months of salary for minor injuries. Make sure to arrange it well, and never let the brothers chill!" "This is always the case, there are cases, you can rest assured!"

Lu Bu nodded: "Where are the Western Liang horses? Have you ever bought more Wuheng horses? Xiliang horses are fast, but their endurance is far inferior to Wuheng horses. Each Xiliang horse needs two or three Wuheng horses. Horse is good." Hou Cheng laughed. "When did Lao Hou have suffered a loss? I bought 3,500 horses earlier. Now there is no shortage of horses in a short time. I also hired 20 or 30 veterinarians in Liangzhou. Some racecourses are busy this year!" Lu Bu patted Hou Cheng on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Hou Cheng took out a letter bucket from his arms and handed it over. "Lu Kai gave another order, let us kill the three horse bandits, flying in the clouds, sea sand, and Ma Lian. I said the chief, this is a whipping ox in the county, and we will use it to die if we catch us! This is only the tenth day of the first lunar month. Sixth, the order came down. Last year we were dispatched more than a hundred times. This Lu Kai is addicted to putting on small shoes for us!" Lu Kai is a Zuoqu military commander, who is Lu Bu's immediate superior. "It's one hundred and thirteen times." The voice was cold and solemn, without a trace of emotion, it turned out to be Gao Shun. "Flying in the cloud is more than two hundred horse thieves, all elite. There are more than 300 people in Haisha, with half and half of them riding on foot. There are the most people with pockmarked faces, one thousand and three hundred, and the best one is three hundred elite soldiers. The three are entrenched. In three places, hundreds of miles apart, this battle is a bit difficult. If you fight one, the two will definitely run, and it will be difficult to chase them. Let's fight together, the troops are not enough."

Lu Bu meditated for a moment and gave a big hand. "This time I was really embarrassed deliberately. The one hundred and twenty-eight people who were editing in the front of Zuo Qu went to beat the two thousand people. It seems that we have more than one thousand people on hand. There are 40 million people. The money is the bottom, I think it can be done!" Lu Bu pointed his finger at the map of Bingzhou, which he had personally surveyed and mapped in the past five years, using the six mapping methods, with high accuracy and completeness. "But, how should I fight?" "It's more troublesome to fight separately. It's better to get them together to fight, it's so easy!" Gao Shun pointed his finger to a place. "Why get them together?" Hou Cheng was confused. Lu Bu smiled: "Don't you have thousands of steeds in your hand? Will they not be tempted with pocky faces?"

"Look at my pig brain!" Hou Cheng patted his head. "The war horses and materials were all boarded from Chang'an and transported directly to the ferry in the southeast of Jiuyuan City. This section was escorted by the boatman and could not move. After unloading the cargo, it was a Jiming Station twenty miles north, and then twenty miles northwest. Li is Lujiazhuang. Jimingyi is the best place to start!"

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "I went hunting in Sanqiuyuan, and then I was so drunk and drunk to drink technetium. Those three guys must have done it that night! Wei Yue's subordinates are Qingqi, who can go to the horse thief's den all night. "Tutorial, this job of copying the old nest is our favorite, leave it to me." Hou Cheng was a little anxious. "No, you can't go. You won't believe the horse bandits if you don't show up with so many goods. You can send a few of your stolen money collectors to Wei Xu. You can still have fun after you fight the horse bandits. I guess Xianbei people They won’t be idle. They can still pick up the Xianbei people along the way eastward after finishing up!

Hahahaha, the three of them laughed together.
