Chapter 077 Tail
At this time, Liu Bei, who had always been neither happy nor sad, had a expressionless expression, also had a complicated expression on his face. He was not worried about the urgent military situation. Instead, he was shocked by the strict discipline and smooth operation of the Zhuyang Army. This army was by no means just an embroidered pillow that looked elite on the surface. The same was true for Guan and Zhang behind him.
Liu Bei looked at Feng Yu motionlessly, not knowing what he was looking at. In fact, Feng Yu was immersed in the system overlooking the scene, and the enemy's army had appeared in the scene.
Feng Yu was not panicked because of his deviation in his judgment, because he had the blessing of this system. The worst result was that he could not achieve his goal. But it was still possible to escape without hesitation. This is also the reason why he dared to volunteer to go deeper alone.
In fact, Feng Yu did not make any mistakes in the judgment. There was indeed not much military force in Luoyang City. The entire Luoyang gathered more than half of the total military force of Dong Zhuo's army, which was nearly 30,000. Two thousand of them were handed over to Lu Bu and Li Jue. They had already left Dagu Pass and were fighting with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in the Liang County area. More than 4,000 people were handed over to Niu Fu and Hua Xiong, and in the end, there were only less than 5,000 troops stationed in Luoyang.
...
Three hours ago, Luoyang City Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Dong Zhuo's fat body lazily leaned against the soft collapse, and he hugged a beautiful girl in his arms and played with her. However, the beauty that was close to him and the nephrite in his arms could not disperse his worry.
Finally, Dong Zhuo pushed the beautiful girl down and waved her hand and said, "You go down, I'm upset now, I want to be quiet alone."
As soon as Meiji went down, a guard ordered his troops to report: "I reported to the Prime Minister, a bandit army has passed through Chenggao and is advancing quickly towards Luoyang."
Dong Zhuo sat upright, his small eyes widened and round: "It was Chenggao's defense line that was lost!?" The first thing he thought of was that Niu Fu and Hua Xiong lost Chenggao's city and battalion.
"I reported to the Prime Minister, Chenggao is still in the hands of our army, but the Kanto bandits are already gathering here."
Dong Zhuo's expression became serious and said with a face pulling his face: "You quickly summon these detectives who reported military information. I want to listen to their first-hand news. There is also news that the thief army has entered Luoyang. I don't agree with me, so no one can tell for the time being!"
...
After hearing these in-person reports from the horses, Dong Zhuo was a little panicked. He did not immediately ask Jia Xu to discuss a plan to retreat to the enemy, but instead ordered the news to block the news and implement a plan he had planned for a long time - to move the capital.
This plan started to be prepared quietly two or three months ago. The palace in Chang'an, Jingzhao Yin, has been renovated and the residences of all officials have been arranged. Now, the first step to move the capital is of course to send the emperor and all officials to Chang'an first. To do this, the first thing to do is to delay the thief army that has entered Luoyang.
He immediately found Duan Wei, one of the few military generals who were still in Luoyang City and had a high rank. Dong Zhuo ordered him to lead more than 2,000 soldiers to intercept the bandit army that invaded Luoyang.
Duan Weinuo said, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Dong Zhuo: "Wait! I have another thing to tell you. For this thief army, the primary goal is to delay its advancement, and the secondary goal is to destroy it. Do you understand what I mean?"
Duan Wei pondered for a while and replied: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Duan Wei understands the meaning of Prime Minister, and must follow the order!"
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said in a harmonious voice: "If you do this, you will be a great achievement."
...
Now Duan Wei is commanding two thousand infantry and cavalry, and he is approaching Feng Yu. He also reported through a large number of horses in front of him, knowing that the thief army is right in front of him, and through the other party's banner, he guessed that this is Feng Yu's army. Among the heroes and lords today, he is the only one with the surname Feng.
Duan Wei ordered: "Transfer our military orders and the infantry battalion formed a tic toe defensive formation!" Hearing his military order, the deputy general beside him was slightly stunned and whispered: "General, isn't the Prime Minister's military orders asking us to intercept the thief army? This tic toe defensive formation moves..."
The deputy general saw Duan Wei's eyes glaring and did not say anything. When the tic-toe formation was formed, Duan Wei ordered again: "The cavalry camp attacks! Only harass and sluggishness, and no decisive battle with the enemy! If you encounter enemy cavalry chasing, return to the original formation!"
Feng Yu could see Duan Wei's series of actions clearly, but he didn't know what his intention was. At this time, the sound of thousands of horses galloping from the sky, and more than a thousand Western Liang cavalry had rolled in and appeared in the sight of the Zhuyang Army.
The five hundred tigers and leopard cavalry also jogged, but instead of rushing towards the enemy, they moved towards two o'clock and stopped outside more than a hundred battles.
The baggage soldiers raised their shields and spears and mixed them into a large square formation with the infantry battalion. Feng Yu and others were guarded in the middle. Shield walls were erected on all sides of the square formation, and guns, spears and blades poked out from the gap between the shields.
To Feng Yu's expectations, the opponent's cavalry did not attack the army's formation, nor even got very close. They circled the Zhuyang Army's square formation outside the 70th battle. The tiger and leopard cavalry that were parked on the flanks had just launched an attack on them. With a few whistles, these Western Liang cavalry retreated like a tide.
Feng Yu wondered which one the other party was going to play? In order to find out, he simply activated the tiger and leopard cavalry to chase after him. The hundreds of Xiliang Iron Cavalry who were staring at the pursuit were calmly penetrated into the tic-toe formation of the infantrymen in the field. The remaining Xiliang Iron Cavalry went out and came to Feng Yu's square formation.
The tic-toe formation is surrounded by tall oars and shields, and behind it is a mountain of guns and swords. The tiger and leopard cavalry could only circle them twice and had no choice but to return.
Feng Yu laughed. He finally knew that the other party was going to make a wishful thinking, and that he would slow down his progress. But what was Dong Zhuo's purpose in doing this?
If Feng Yu had not been a person of two lifetimes, he might not have thought of it if he wanted to break his head, but now he was basically sure that Dong Zhuo must be moving to Chang'an at this time.
The question now is how to get rid of the entanglement of Dong Zhuo’s army in front of you? If the Zhuyang army sets up a formation and marching, they will inevitably dispatch cavalry to entangle, forcing themselves to stop marching like they are now and form formation defense.
If the infantry is given up to the front and only the tiger and leopard cavalry are used to cut off the back, these five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry cannot completely intercept more than a thousand cavalry of the opponent. Just like this, some of the enemy cavalry are driven back into the formation, but some of the enemy cavalry can wander outside their own formation.
Feng Yu looked at the sun that was sinking in the west and simply set up a camp and stopped leaving. The same was true for the other party. The two sides confronted each other at a distance of more than a hundred battles. However, neither side brought supplies, so they built simple camps.
Under the bonfire, Feng Yu brought Liao Hua, Liu, Guan and Zhang to discuss strategies to break the enemy, saying it was a discussion, but actually arranged his own action plan to them. Feng Yu was determined to take an action tonight to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's annoying "tail".
