The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

The coalition forces have been attacking Hulao Pass for ten days. However, the city of Hulao Pass is difficult to defeat. Wave after wave of coalition forces came up in turn, causing heavy casualties. The Xiliang Army in the pass also had a hard time. Their strength was in field battles, and Instead of defending the city, Zhang Xiu was injured and his morale was low, and he was about to fall.

At this time, Lu Bu, who was setting off from Luoyang, was marching in a hurry. He led the wolf cavalry first, and Xu Rong followed with the infantry and provisions. They were working hard along the way. The wolf cavalry army was already accustomed to marching in a hurry, and it would take half a day to reach Hulao. close.

Wei Muyong brought a bowl of water and said, "General, drink some water. We are almost at Hulao Pass."

Lu Bu took it and drank it all in one gulp. "You also let the brothers rest, drink some water, add some food, and feed the horses some fodder. I'm afraid there will be no time to rest when we reach Hulao Pass."

"Is the war situation really so urgent? General, there are hundreds of thousands of people at Hulao Pass." Wei Xijun was puzzled.

"When I was in Luoyang, I asked Fan Silk that they had been defeated before and had lost half of their troops. In addition, it has been some time since the coalition forces attacked Hulao Pass. I estimate that there are less than 10,000 soldiers in the city who can fight now." Lu Bu Some concerns.

"It seems that our force is their only hope." Wei Muyong said.

"Yes, do you know how Hulao Pass got its name?" Lu Bu asked the Wei brothers.

"I don't know, I hope the general will tell me." they replied.

"According to legend, King Zhou Mu once hunted here and encountered a ferocious tiger. More than ten warriors died before capturing the tiger. In order to suppress this ferocious beast, King Zhou Mu built such a pass. This is the origin of Hulao Pass. Laoguan Pass is connected to Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It is surrounded by high mountains and ridges. It is a natural and dangerous pass. Otherwise, it would not have been able to resist the coalition forces for so long." Lu Bu said.

"The general is knowledgeable, I can't wait for the eventuality." Brothers Wei Xijun and Wei Muyong listened with fascination.

"Okay, we have rested enough and are ready to set off. We must arrive at Hulao Pass before sunset today." After a simple meal of dry food, the group continued to set off.

The coalition camp was in a peaceful atmosphere at this time. Yuan Shao picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, in less than two days, Hulao Pass will be broken. When we enter Luoyang City, the world will be ours. Please drink this cup to the full."

Everyone picked up their glasses and drank it all. They all paid a heavy price. In the continuous siege battles, nearly half of the 300,000-strong army had been lost. However, they were moved again when they thought of the prosperity of Luoyang City. Human lives in troubled times. It is the cheapest, and this is how one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.

Yuan Shao ordered the siege to stop and the entire army to have a good night's rest before taking Hulao Pass in one fell swoop tomorrow. Years later, he regretted this decision countless times. Everything changed on this night with the arrival of a person.

Lu Bu's army successfully arrived at Guanxia before sunset. He showed the Jieyue awarded by Dong Zhuo and took charge of the military affairs of Hulao Pass. The first thing he did was to count the casualties in the city. Looking at the roster handed over by Hu Zhen, there were 10,000 people in the city seriously injured, 20,000 slightly injured, and less than 5,000 people who could still fight. If he hadn't come today, Hulao Pass would have fallen if the coalition forces attacked it again. , but now that he has arrived, changes must be made.

"General Hu, do you know the situation of the coalition forces? Let me know." Lu Bu closed the roster and glanced at Hu Zhen.

"General, among the coalition forces, only the two armies of Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao are particularly fierce. Most of the others are new recruits and can only serve as cannon fodder. If Hua Xiong hadn't ambushed before, causing most of our army to lose, we wouldn't be so passive." Hu Zhen said.

"Well, General Hua has died in the battle, so don't mention him. My idea is that since the coalition forces have stopped attacking at this moment, it must be to recharge their batteries. Tonight I plan to rob the camp and dampen their energy. It should take two days for the imperial army to arrive. Only in this way can we buy time." Lu Bu looked at everyone.

"In that case, let me go. The Prime Minister gave me a hundred thousand troops, but now there are less than 30% left. I am ashamed of the Prime Minister." Hu Zhen wanted to get the opportunity to rob the camp.

"No, you stay in the city. This is the best medicine for wounds. You can take it and distribute it to the injured soldiers. Just apply a little on the wounds and they will recover in less than ten days." Lu Bu asked Wei Xijun to get a box of medicine. Before leaving, he got it from the imperial physician in the palace.

"Thank you, general." Hu Zhen took the medicine box and ordered it to be sent to the wounded barracks.

Lu Bu put on a mask and rode on a red rabbit horse, followed by eight hundred horsemen, all wearing fang masks, like Shura coming out of hell. They followed Lu Bu and galloped towards the coalition camp.

The coalition patrol realized something was wrong and was about to shout that the enemy was attacking. Before the sound could be heard, a sharp arrow pierced the throat. Lu Bu's cavalry was like a thousand, and Fang Tian drew his halberd and smashed the camp door to pieces. The cavalry troops behind him also Then rush into the camp. Yuan Shu's troops were stationed at the front, and the Nanyang soldiers were the laziest. Just like their lord Yuan Shu, they usually hid behind them when attacking the city. There was no damage to the entire army. However, what was expected always came. Come tonight, most of them will not be able to return to their hometown.

The wolf cavalry camp fired one shot at a time. The Nanyang soldiers could not withstand it at all, and there were many casualties. However, most of them were trampled to death because of fear. Lu Bu saw a camp with many defenders around it. He guessed it belonged to Yuan Shu. He commanded the troops. , rush over. It was also Yuan Shu's fate. Tonight he went to his brother Yuan Shao's military camp to discuss matters. He was not in the camp and thus escaped disaster.

Lu Bu rushed into the camp and found that there were only three or four women inside. Knowing that he could not kill Yuan Shu tonight, he ordered the soldiers to set fire to the camp and then continued to the next camp.
