Chapter 239: The soldiers sent to Hanoi to capture Jia Xu (Five)

Lu Bu took action angrily, and the power transmitted from Fang Tian Huaji was far greater than in the past. Hu Zheer felt a strong force surge in his hand. The tiger's mouth was shattered and the spear was lost. Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji was unhindered, like flowing clouds and water, and he took advantage of the situation and chopped Hu Zheer's head off the horse.

The other soldiers in Xiliang were frightened. Hu Zheer, his clan brother Hu Cheer and cousin Hu Chier, were called the three Hus of the Dong army. They were one of the few powerful generals in Dong Zhuo's army, but they were not the enemy of Lu Bu in anger.

"Lu Bidder, come here!" Niu Zuo, another powerful general in Niu Fu's army, was Niu Fu's younger brother. Taking advantage of the time when Lu Bu drove his horse to kill Hu Zheer and Dian Wei, Wei Yue had not yet followed, he waved his spear and attacked him from the side.

Niu Zuo's spear was about to stab Lu Bu. The tip of the spear was less than an inch from Lu Bu's back heart. Niu Zuo suddenly felt a strong force pouring into the spear, and the spear could no longer advance.

Niu Zuo looked at it with fear, and saw Lu Bu holding the spear tightly with one hand and shouting: "Let you attack sneakily, make you happy!"

Lu Bu actually held the spear tightly with one hand and raised Niu Zuo who held the spear tightly at the other end. Lu Bu waved the spear and led the fat Niu Zuo to hit the Xiliang soldiers who waved their swords and raised their guns to take the opportunity to kill Lu Bu.

The Xiliang saw a huge black shadow hitting them. Out of instinct, without thinking, he waved his sword and gun and stabbed the black shadow. As a result, wherever their sword and gun went, even Lu Bu's shadow fell on Niu Zuo.

Lu Bu's movements were too fast. Niu Zuo didn't expect to abandon the spear and flee. He grabbed the spear tightly, but he miserably hit his own man five and four guns. One of them was slashing at his neck. Niu Zuo was dead and could not die anymore. This tragic and atrocity method of death was exactly what Lu Bu said to make you happy.

Lu Bu threw Niu Zuo hard in the direction where Niu Fu escaped, crossed several meters away, smashed four or five Western Liang cavalrymen, and landed behind Niu Fu's horse with a bang.

Niu Fu turned his head and saw his brother's miserable death with his eyes open. He was both shattered and stood there. He could not even have any blood courage that turned around and fought with Lu Bu. Seeing that Niu Fu was frightened by Lu Bu, Jia Xu rushed forward, waved his back and slashed Niu Fu's butt. The war horse was extremely painful and ran forward. It was exactly the direction of Hanoi County City. Jia Xu also slashed his mount on the butt. The war horse was like Niu Fu's mount, and it was unbearable. He ran towards Hanoi County City regardless of the pain.

After Lu Bu killed all the Xiliang cavalry who blocked the road and cleared the roadblocks in front, he saw Niu Fu and Jia Xu running to the edge of Hanoi city. The gates of Hanoi city were wide open, and Niu Fu and Jia Xu entered.

Lu Bu wanted to take the opportunity to lead the Flying Tiger Army in, so he chased after him.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Niu Fu and Jia Xu had entered the city. The city gate had been tightly closed and the suspension bridge had been erected. The rain of arrows was raining from the city. Lu Bu had to turn around with hatred.

As soon as Lu Bu turned around, he saw smoke and dust rising from the direction of the Yellow River, and a group of people rushed towards him. It turned out that it was Niu Fu who sent him to patrol the Yellow River to prevent Lu Bu from smuggling. They knew that Niu Fu's army was defeated, so they quickly turned around to support him.

When they arrived at the battlefield, the Central Army's 80,000 troops were already on high alert. In front of them were long spear formations with cold lights, behind them were crossbow soldiers ready to go, and behind them were hundreds of thunderbolt chariots were eager to try, and on both sides there were 20,000 elite cavalry waiting for an opportunity to move.

The commander of the ten thousand Xiliang soldiers was Lu Bu's old friend Li Su. Li Su saw the central army from afar and saw that Niu Fu's tens of thousands of troops surrendered or died. Only Niu Fu and Jia Xu fled back to the city. He was frightened and hurriedly led his troops to retreat to the Hanoi County City.

Because most of the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers were cavalry and fleeing very fast, Lu Bu wanted to pursue, but because his Flying Tiger Army and Xu Huang's cavalry were very tired in the battle just now, he had no choice but to give up pursuing Li Su and let him lead his army into the city.

When Li Su led 10,000 cavalry back to the city of Henei, the Xiliang army had no defensive power on the north bank of the Yellow River. Lu Bu ordered Zhang He to lead 10,000 elite infantrymen on the 500 warships brought by Qin Yi, upstream along the Yellow River, bypassing the city of Henei, and began a large-scale mobilization between Henei City and Jiguan.

Niu Fu left only three thousand troops in Jiguan. He had more than enough guards and insufficient attacks, so he did not dare to come out to fight Zhang He. The Xiliang soldiers left behind in the county town that was previously breached by Niu Fu were only four or five hundred. Zhang He had ten thousand troops like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, clearing all the Xiliang forces between Hanoi City and Jiguan. Now, there is only the lonely Hanoi County city left.

Qin Yi led two thousand Yellow River sailors, composed of Yellow River fishermen and after two months of hard training, crossed the Yellow River on this section, seizing all the ships to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from crossing the river and responding on the other side of Luoyang and Xingyang.

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army has been hanging in the bitter and cold places of Xiliang. He has never had any experience in water warfare, nor has he ever had the awareness of water combat. So much so that the Yellow River was controlled by the Central Army. Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that it was not easy to build a ship. The ships could not be built in a short time, and the navy could not be built in a three or five days.

Before the severe winter was frozen, the dominance of the Yellow River in the middle and lower reaches was still in the hands of Lu Bu's Yellow River Navy. The Yellow River Navy was temporarily led by Qin Yi, a Hedong native who was born in the Yellow River fisherman family. Currently, there are 2,000 combat soldiers and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, which are considered the strength of a brigade.

Lu Buliu's general Liu He led 10,000 auxiliary soldiers stationed in nine counties north of Qinshui, and continued to clear the hostile forces in the nine counties, while Zhang He led 10,000 elite troops to continue to sweep away other counties in Henei County and eliminate other hostile forces.

Lu Bu specifically instructed Zhang He to closely monitor the Sima family in Wen County. If the Sima family changes slightly, Zhang He should notify Lu Bu immediately. Lu Bu immediately dispatches troops to destroy the Sima family.

Sima Yi's father Sima Fang and his brother Sima Lang are now serving Dong Zhuo's pseudo-court court in Luoyang. The Sima family is like a local emperor in Wen County, with thousands of soldiers. If they insist on following Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu wants to completely control Hanoi County and regard this place as a bridgehead for his own fight against Dong Zhuo, he must completely eradicate the Sima family.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to break through Hanoi City.

Lu Bu asked Bo Lucui, the leader of the Central Army who was going out with the army, "What was the casualties of our army in the battle just now?"

Lu Cui had just finished counting and remembered the numbers freshly, so he didn't read the booklet and said the sets of numbers: "Our army suffered more than 2,600 people, most of them were the front row of pike soldiers killed in the Xiliang cavalry raid. Our army was seriously injured more than 1,400 people. Fortunately, students from Central University Medical College followed the army to study medicine. They adhered to Mr. Hua Tuo's medical skills and were able to rescue more than 900 of them, but the remaining more than 500 people were only able to breathe for a few days. Our army was slightly injured more than 4,400 people, most of them were the pike soldiers and flying tiger cavalry who charged forward. More than 3,500 people were able to fight again after recovering from injuries."

Lu Bu frowned slightly. The casualties were bigger than he thought. It seemed that the Xiliang cavalry was one of the few elite soldiers in the world: "Thus, our army's battle suffered more than 4,000 people. How about the Xiliang soldiers' losses?"

Lu Cui replied: "Niu Fu led his army out of the city this time, intending to cross half a cross to stop our army from crossing the river. He was a little proud and underestimated the enemy. He only brought 50,000 troops and horses, and distributed 10,000 to patrol the river. Only 40,000 troops were the elite soldiers of Xiliang brought by Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu from Liangzhou. Only a small part was recruited in the local area of ​​Hanoi, so these 40,000 troops were worth more than 100,000 troops of ordinary princes. But Niu Fu never expected that our Central Army would be more brave, especially under the leadership of an unparalleled general like the lord, with a morale of rain and a superior number, which could defeat them to pieces."

Lu Bu waved his hand quickly and said, "Lord Lord, don't flatter me, let's tell me the actual situation first!"

Seeing that Lu Bu was very calm, Lu Cui knew that this lord was very self-aware, and he would still get rid of his habit of being good at flattering the top in the future and do things steadily, he replied solemnly: "Niu Fu's 40,000 people fled into the city of Hanoi from other city gates, and the remaining 33,000 people stayed here, of which about 15,000 people were seriously injured and waited for death, and the remaining 17,000 people were slightly injured. Among these people, there were more than 8,000 people willing to join our central army, and the remaining 9,000 were silent, but they surrendered but did not accept the reorganization."

"How come many people are unwilling to join our Central Army?" Lu Bu felt a little frustrated.

"Lord Mingjian, the more than 9,000 soldiers were from Liangzhou, and they were all veterans who followed Dong Zhuo. They wanted to survive because of the situation, so they disarmed. However, they were all worried about the Liangzhou family and were still a little loyal to Dong Zhuo, so they refused to submit to our Central Army."

"Then send them to Han Hao to farm." Lu Bu is not polite to those who are in Cao's camp and are in the heart of Han.

Lu Bu asked Guo Jia, who was in charge of the intelligence again: "Fengxiao, how many people were there in the city of Hanoi County?"

Guo Jia replied: "Niu Fu brought only 30,000 Xiliang soldiers from Hanoi, but in order to resist our central army, he recruited more than 62,000 soldiers in Hanoi County. Most of these people were bandits and bandits from Taihang Mountain. They had not been well reorganized by Niu Fu. The 60,000 bandits and the 30,000 Xiliang elite soldiers were mixed together, which weakened the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang soldiers. Jia Xu had advised Niu Fu, but Niu Fu did not obey."

Lu Bu pondered: "In this way, the enemy troops in the city of Hanoi County now have less than 60,000 elite troops and less than 20,000 elite troops. This is much easier to deal with than before. It seems that we can take down Hanoi City in one go this time."

Guo Jia knew more about Jia Xu through the military intelligence agents planted in Hanoi, and the more he was afraid of him, he quickly advised: "Lord, if Jia Xu was not in charge here, our central army could naturally easily take Hanoi, but because Jia Xu was in charge, the lord should not underestimate the enemy."

Lu Bu said proudly: "Although Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe are cunning and wise, we already know him very well, and he will definitely fall into my hub."
