I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Big Break Candidate

Whoosh!
A bowstring vibration,
A howl broke through the air,
The flying geese's arrows caused ripples in the air,
In the end, it sank into the neck of the candidate lieutenant general.

"Ho ho. Ho ho."

The lieutenant held his neck that was bleeding continuously, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and he felt that the blood and strength were constantly passing away.

In the blink of an eye, the lieutenant fell to the ground and lost his vitality.

The candidate looked at the dead lieutenant beside him,
Look at the tall and majestic figure not far away,

Unable to bear a wretched smile, he immediately put down the weapon in his hand.

Xiliang soldiers rushed forward and tied up the candidates.

Lu Bu stood in front of the big tent,
Watching Su Lie orderly give orders.

Lu Bu and Su Lie have joined forces.

In this day and age, the chance of success in a night attack is small.

Not just because of poor organization,
Especially because night blindness is so common.

However, the soldiers under Lu Bu did not have to worry about eating and drinking.

Meals include meat and vegetables,

Naturally, it is impossible to have the problem of night blindness.

Moreover, before attacking the camp, Lu Bu and Su Lie had already considered the issue properly.

All the soldiers in the army wear red scarves on their heads and right arms, and they follow their corporal leaders and commanders when they charge, and the corporal leaders and commanders have corresponding marks on their backs.

The whole army, from the small corps commander to the big general like Lu Bu Su Lie, all wore corresponding marks, that is, carrying banners, so that their soldiers knew who they were following.

Even so,

Because the sky is too dark,

Lu Bu still chose five miles away and lit the torch.

Although the shorter the surprise attack distance, the easier it is for the enemy to be caught off guard, but if one's own soldiers lose a lot, then the surprise attack cannot gain much.

All kinds of considerations and calculations led to this successful surprise attack.

The [-]-strong army of candidates was broken in World War I!
This battle can add another stroke to Lu Bu's already dazzling record!
dawn,

It was just getting brighter.

Candidate camps burned all night,
By now it was mostly reduced to ashes,
There are only a few places where weak flames are still burning.

The entire camp was filled with the smell of charred corpses and burned food and grass. This pungent smell even diluted the smell of blood in the air.

once raided the camp,
Let the candidate camp be blown up directly,

The left and right battalions of the five battalions were destroyed, the generals of the front battalion led the army to return to the camp of the Chinese army and failed, and the rear battalion directly bombed the battalion and fled in embarrassment.

The [-] Xiliang soldiers in the candidate army scattered and fled in all directions, but there were no less than [-] missing people!

And the casualties are as high as tens of thousands!
It can be said that after this battle, half of Ma Teng and Han Sui's [-] troops have been abolished!

Nearly 1 casualties were missing, and the remaining [-] people surrendered one after another.

There are so many disappearances, in fact, Lu Bu expected it.

It's easy to get lost in the dark night,

Four camps in four directions, even the left and right camps that were first captured by Lu Bu and Su Lie had people escaped, let alone the front and rear camps?
Some of these escaped troops will return one after another, and there is also the possibility of fleeing directly to Xiliang.

But even if they fled to Ma Chao's side,

It doesn't have much impact on the battle situation.

It is a great pleasure to guard the surrendered soldiers, receive the horses and soldiers, and follow the army.

Because the horses from the left and right battalions attacked the camp of the Chinese Army first, and with the fire on all sides, many horses were killed, wounded and fled, but even so, Lu Bu still gained a lot!

The big banner with the word Lu has been flying in the ruins,
The soldiers counted the casualties, guarded the prisoners, escorted the armor and the remaining food and grass, and waited quietly for the Wugong County defenders to come.

Because the defenders in Wugong County were all infantry, they didn't arrive until noon that day.

Then it was handed over to the Wugong County garrison.

The armor, food, grass and war horses were all sent to the rear,

Tens of thousands of captives were directly escorted to Lantian, where they would receive training and be transformed into Lu Bu's soldiers.

any time,
A captured general may prefer death to submission,

But this does not exist for soldiers.

The reason why the generals were captured and not surrendered was because their family members were with the lord, coupled with the influence of the thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and the influence they had learned since childhood, they could not do anything against the emperor. After all, loyal ministers do not serve two masters.

But how many soldiers can read and write?
The princes will attack the general's family because the general surrendered, but absolutely no family of princes will attack the family of the soldier because the soldier surrendered.

And no matter what, the war between Ma Teng, Han Sui and Lu Bu was also a civil war among princes, not a foreign war.

Since it is not a foreign war, there is not much need for a deadly battle.

Those generals who were loyal to their personal guards had been cleaned up long ago, and the remaining soldiers would be a usable army with a little training.

The commander of the army stepped forward excitedly, and said to Lu Bu: "Your Majesty, our army has captured more than [-] people in this battle, and obtained more than [-] horses, [-] stones of food and grass, and nothing to count on. !"

Lu Bu nodded with a calm face. If these seizures were made when he was under pressure, Lu Bu might be excited for a long time.

but now,
Such captives were taken too many,

Lu Bu was not as excited as he was at first.

Get used to it, that's all.

"Your Majesty."

Su Lie came over.

Lu Bu looked at Su Lie's exhausted appearance after a night of fierce fighting, and asked, "Dingfang, can you still hold on?"

"It's only for one night, Lie can still fight again!" Su Lie said without hesitation.

Lu Bu smiled: "Even if you can continue to fight Dingfang, the soldiers will not be able to hold on any longer. Pass the order and the whole army will return to martial arts and rest for a day."

In Wugong City,

It was also a night without sleep. The soldiers could rest, but Lu Bu could not.

He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies and needs to consider the overall situation of the battle.

Sitting in the county magistrate's office, Lu Bu watched the news coming from everywhere.

"Cao Cao in the east is very stable. Recently, Cao Cao is not as stable as him."

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Su Lie, who was also awake, said:

"It seems to be stable, but in fact it is quiet before the war. Now that Liu Bei occupies Runan and Xuzhou, Cao Cao can't ignore it. Guan Yu in Xiapi is the fishbone stuck in Cao Cao's throat, and he must pull it out!"

"Well, it is estimated that Cao Cao has stabilized Yuan Shao, and now he wants to deal with Liu Bei wholeheartedly. This has given us a rare opportunity for development." Lu Bu said.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, once our army defeats Ma Chao, we can take advantage of the situation to sweep Yongzhou and bring Yongzhou under control. With Yongzhou, our army will have room to maneuver. Otherwise, with Chang'an alone, tens of thousands of troops are really It's hard to move." Su Lie sighed.

Lu Bu nodded:
"That's right, after a day's rest, our army immediately went to Huaili. Right now Ma Teng and Han Sui don't lack time, and Cao Cao doesn't lack time either. Only we, only Chang'an, lack time. If the spring plowing is delayed, or let If the flames of war spread in, it will be difficult this year."

"Let's pass on the order, prepare wine and meat, and when the soldiers are full of sleep, let them eat hot meals as soon as possible."
