Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 158 Ji Ling
Ji Ling led an army of [-] to Xuzhou, but Liu Bei hurriedly led his troops to stop him.

Two armies against the wild!

When Liu Bei came to the front of the formation, he saw Yuan Shu's army banners unfurling, and he couldn't see the edge with a dark look, and he was horrified.

Ji Ling patted his horse forward, saw Liu Bei, and roared, "Liu Xuande, my lord kindly asked you to join forces to destroy Cao, but you don't know what to do, but you want to join forces with Cao Mengde instead, it's really hateful."

Liu Bei shook his head, "General Ji's words are wrong. Now that Cao Mengde has come to Xuzhou, how can I have the heart to harm him, why don't we all stop and withdraw our troops to keep everyone safe? Wouldn't it be beautiful."

Ji Ling snorted coldly, "Liu Xuande, I'm going to bring 8 troops here today, but I just want to ask you one more question, whether you agree or not, if not, then we can only fight each other."

Seeing that Ji Ling was so rude, Guan Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and yelled, "Ji Ling, my brother tried to persuade you, but you are so ungrateful, how dare you fight me for 300 rounds."

Ji Ling is a well-known general in Huainan. He holds a three-edged sword and is unstoppable in martial arts. He has never met an opponent.

Seeing that an unknown pawn dared to shout at him, Ji Ling was furious and took off the three-edged sword on his horseback, "Unknown junior, today this general will kill you to show his prestige."

After finishing speaking, Ji Ling waved the three-edged saber in his hand and rushed towards Guan Yu.

A sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of Guan Yu's mouth, "Ji Ling, since that's the case, I will kill you first."

blah blah blah!
The two horses were facing each other, and the weapons in their hands gleamed with a dazzling cold light in the sun.

The two rushed in front of them, Ji Ling roared, and was about to strike when he saw Guan Yu's eyes froze. come over.

Ji Ling didn't expect Guan Yu to strike so quickly, and was shocked. He hurriedly swung his three-edged sword to block.

The weapons of the two collided together, and there was a muffled "click!" sound.

After the sound, the two horses staggered away. Ji Ling only felt numbness in his arms and was horrified.

Never expected that a nameless junior would have such great strength.

However, relying on strength alone to convince Huainan General Ji Ling is simply a dream.

Ji Ling's horse rushed out, then turned the horse's head, looked at Guan Yu opposite, and snorted coldly, "Unexpectedly, you have some strength, but with your strength alone, you want to defeat this general, hum."

After speaking, Ji Ling patted his horse and rushed towards Guan Yu again.

Before rushing to the front, Ji Ling took the lead, and the three-edged knife pierced out like lightning, and went straight to Guan Yu's throat.

Guan Yu looked at the stabbing three-edged knife, smiled contemptuously, and dodged slightly, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand slashed towards Ji Ling again.

"kill!"

Ji Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew the three-edged knife, blocking the Qinglong Yanyue knife.

After the two men rushed past, cold sweat broke out on Ji Ling's forehead. He had already felt that he was probably no match for this person.

But even though he knew it, as a Huainan general, he absolutely couldn't retreat after a few moves, otherwise how could he have the face to meet others in the future?

Ji Ling cheered up, and the two fought for more than [-] rounds. They couldn't hold on any longer, and hurriedly yelled.

"stop."

Guan Yu withdrew his knife, looked sideways at Ji Ling, and asked proudly, "Are you scared?"

Ji Ling didn't respond, and galloped back to the formation, no matter how loud Guan Yu yelled, he didn't go out again.

Seeing Guan Yu's arrogance, Xun Zheng, the deputy general, hurried forward to ask for orders, "General, let the last general fight, and he must have his dog's head cut off."

Ji Ling nodded, "That's fine, but you have to be careful and don't be reckless."

Xun Zheng was not very old, when he was young, he was fearless with a heart.

Xun Zheng rode his horse up to Guan Yu and shouted loudly, "Young man, look at me, Xun Zheng, coming to chop off your dog's head."

Guan Yu was furious immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I wanted to spare your life, but since you are so rude, don't blame me for being rude."

Xun Zheng sneered, and rushed forward with his horse and gun. He was about to stab out with the spear in his hand, but he saw Guan Yu's broadsword had already fallen from the sky.

Unafraid, Xun Zheng grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands and pushed it upwards forcefully, roaring loudly.

"open!"

Xun Zhengyuan wanted to block Guan Yu's attack, but he never thought that the Qinglong Yanyue Saber was slashing in the air, and suddenly retracted, and before he could react, it suddenly thrust out again.

Xun Zheng only saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and a chill on his neck, and the Qinglong Yanyue Saber had already slashed past his neck.

"Hoohoo!"

Xun Zheng looked at Guan Yu not confidently, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything. He fell off the horse slowly and did not move anymore.

Seeing Guan Yu's victory, Liu Bei was overjoyed and waved his hand vigorously behind him, "The whole army is attacking."

Following Liu Bei's order, the Xuzhou soldiers immediately rushed out with a roar and killed Yuan Shu's army on the opposite side.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Guan Yu wielded the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand, took the lead, and went straight to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling knew that he was no match for Guan Yu, so he didn't dare to fight again, so he hurriedly turned his horse and ran towards the camp.

The soldiers of Yuan Shu's army didn't dare to fight when they saw the general, and they were in a panic. They were rushed by Xuzhou soldiers and retreated one after another.

Ji Ling led his troops to retreat for 30 miles, and then he stabilized his formation, set up camp by the river, and waited for an opportunity to fight again.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and celebrated for everyone that night.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei led an army to invite another battle.

Guan Yu stepped forward to call for battle, but no one dared to challenge him.

Seeing this, Liu Bei immediately ordered to charge, preparing to defeat Ji Ling again.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Ji Ling looked at the Xuzhou soldiers rushing over, sneered, and then roared behind him.

"Form an formation to meet the enemy."

Ji Ling's ability to become the general of Huainan was not just a result of his fame, but his real talent and learning. In addition to his general skills, his strength was in arranging troops and forming formations.

Yesterday, he couldn't wait and suffered a big loss. Today, how could Ji Ling be fooled by yesterday.

After Yuan Shujun heard the order, he immediately lined up in a neat square to block the rushing Xuzhou soldiers.

As soon as the Xuzhou soldiers rushed to the front, they saw the lights of swords shining in front of them, and the front of Yuan Shu's army, like hedgehogs, lined up neatly with spear heads, ready to meet the enemy.

At the same time, Yuan Shujun's archers stood in the formation, drew their bows and set up arrows, and shot arrows at the rushing Xuzhou soldiers.

Countless arrow rains merged into dark clouds in the air, and immediately after the Xuzhou soldiers entered the camp, there were bursts of screams. Countless Xuzhou soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and at the same time affected the charge of the entire formation.

Ji Ling waved his hand vigorously and roared, "Go forward."

Advance and charge are two concepts. Charge is the charge of the whole army regardless of formation, mainly to break down the enemy's formation.

Advancement is different. Although the speed is slow, it can maintain a tight formation. Once it encounters an enemy attack, it can quickly launch a counterattack.

Following Ji Ling's order, Yuan Shujun's soldiers lined up in a neat square, holding their spears, like hedgehogs one after another, slowly walking towards the Xuzhou soldiers.

Ji Ling adopted a steady and steady approach, relying on the large number of people on his side, and marched in a crushing manner.

The originally aggressive Xuzhou soldiers were all blocked by Yuan Shujun's long spear array after several charges, and they lost their big surrender immediately.

Seeing that he could not break through the enemy's defense line, Guan Yu was furious, and brandishing the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, he rushed towards the enemy's long spear array.

"kill!"

Seeing Guan Yu approaching, Yuan Shujun's soldiers immediately raised their spears and stabbed him fiercely.

Guan Yu charged forward on horseback, snorted coldly, swiped the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in front of his eyes, and immediately, like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, he lifted up a dozen long spears in front of him, and then roared, rushing into the enemy's camp .

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

How could these ordinary Yuan Jun soldiers stop Guan Yu's attack? In just a moment, a neatly arranged square formation was defeated by Guan Yu alone, and it was defeated.

Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shujun's soldiers who did not dare to charge forward again, with a proud smile on his lips, "How dare a bunch of losers come to stop me, huh!"

After finishing these words, Guan Yu turned around and headed towards another phalanx to kill again.

It's just that although Guan Yu is extremely brave, what can he do if he is alone.

Although Guan Yu beat the soldiers of Yuan Shujun in front of him to retreat steadily, the rest of the Xuzhou soldiers gradually couldn't resist. After a while, the charge that was originally imposing like a rainbow turned into a standstill.

And soon in Yuan Shujun's crushing advance, he was beaten and retreated steadily.

Liu Bei saw the soldiers and horses retreating, only Guan Yu and other generals were killing the enemy in front, knowing that it was not good, he could only shout.

"All troops retreat."

The Xuzhou soldiers who had been struggling to support, heard this order, couldn't care less, turned around and ran away.

Seeing the defeat of the Xuzhou soldiers, Ji Ling was overjoyed and roared, "The whole army charges."

After the order was passed down, Yuan Shu's soldiers separated into formation and began to chase and kill the fleeing Xuzhou soldiers.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Although Liu Bei and Guan Yu tried their best to resist, their troops collapsed like a mountain. How could they hold back?

……

After the troops in Xuzhou set up camp, Liu Bei immediately ordered people to find the generals to discuss.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, although there was still a faint smile on his face, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

It was thought that with yesterday's big victory, Ji Ling would be completely defeated and driven back to Huainan.

But it never occurred to him that Ji Ling, the general of Huainan, was no one to wait for nothing, relying only on the soldiers, he defeated himself utterly.

The most important thing is that Ji Ling has a lot of soldiers and horses, and it may not be easy for him to defeat him.

Liu Bei settled down and looked around for four weeks. Seeing the worried faces on everyone's faces, he sighed inwardly and said slowly, "Everyone, our army is temporarily defeated today. Wait until tomorrow, can we find a way to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone bowed their heads when they heard the words.

Liu Bei frowned, then turned to look at Jian Yong, "Xianhe, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Jian Yong shook his head with a wry smile, "Liu Shijun, Ji Ling has a lot of troops, it may be very difficult for our army to win."

Sun Qian suddenly said, "Emissary Liu, Yuan Shu's army is powerful, why don't our army join Cao's army and defeat the enemy together."

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly, "Is there no other way?"

Sun Qian smiled wryly and shook his head, "Liu Shijun, there is no other way."

Liu Bei sighed and nodded, "If that's the case, then send someone to notify Cao Mengde and ask him to come and destroy Yuan together."

……

Xiaopei.

"Ha ha!"

Cao Cao laughed, "Liu Bei sent someone to ask for help, and wanted to get someone to join forces with him to defeat Ji Ling."

Cheng Yu said with a smile, "Master, the opportunity has finally come."

Xia Houdun suddenly said, "My lord, why don't we go to rescue Liu Bei, but see that when he can't escape, we can go directly to Xiapi and capture Xuzhou, wouldn't it be more enjoyable?"

Cheng Yu hastily waved his hand, "No, it would be easier to capture Xuzhou directly, but Liu Bei knows that he will not fight Ji Ling any more if he loses Xuzhou.

At that time, once Liu Bei withdraws, we will be left alone to face Ji Ling's attack, which will be even more unfavorable to our army. "

Cheng Yu said this, paused, and said, "This is not the worst outcome. If Liu Bei heard the news that we had captured Xuzhou, he did not choose to leave, but chose to join forces with Ji Ling to deal with us together. , I am afraid that our army will definitely be defeated."

When everyone heard these words, their faces changed, and they said one after another.

"It seems that we must first help Liu Bei and repel Ji Ling before we can capture Xuzhou."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard what everyone said, "Zhongde is right. We really can't let Liu Bei know our intentions. After defeating Ji Ling, it's not too late for us to do it."

Xiahou Dun frowned, "But if Ji Ling is defeated, when Liu Bei returns to Xuzhou, if we want to take Xuzhou again, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Hearing this, Cheng Yu suddenly sneered, "General Xiahou, don't worry, these are all expected."

Cao Cao naturally knew what Cheng Yu was thinking, and nodded with a smile, "Zhong De is right, we just need to go to meet Liu Bei, and the rest of the things have been arranged."

Cheng Yu smiled and bowed to Cao Cao, "My lord, after this battle, not only did the Huainan soldiers and horses be repelled, but Liu was also severely injured and unable to fight anymore. Our army can also take this opportunity to capture Xuzhou and restore its strength as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu looked at his empty sleeves, a trace of resentment suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth secretly.

Lu Bu, when the lord's strength recovers, it's time for revenge.

At that time, I will also cut off one of your arms to let you taste the pain.

Ever since Cheng Yu lost his arm, he secretly swore in his heart that this revenge must be avenged, and that Lu Bu would repay it double.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said slowly, "Zhongde, don't worry, as long as our strength recovers, we will definitely settle the score with Lu Bu."

When everyone in the room heard these words and thought of Lu Bu, they were filled with righteous indignation and shouted loudly.

"Little Lu Bu, this revenge must be avenged."

Cao Cao saw everyone's morale rising, nodded, and said loudly, "Everyone go back and prepare. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

When the generals heard the words, they bowed their hands and said goodbye and left.
