Chapter 476 Silky combo
Lu Xun casually listed a lot of reasons. Of course, the most important one was his fear of Liu Bei.
After all, he is a hero who has experienced many battles. He has eaten more salt than he has eaten rice, and most of his subordinates are brave generals, so we must be on guard against them.
Lu Xun didn't want much, and he didn't seek to achieve complete success. After all, even if Liu Bei's army was completely wiped out here, they would not have the energy left to attack Jingzhou, and would only be making things difficult for others.
And there is a lot of uncertainty, Tian Zeke is still by his side.
Even if Tian Ze himself knows that his ability is not important, the thoughtful Lu Xun will not really not care. This is a matter of attitude.
Tian Ze listened to Lu Xun's clear analysis and nodded slightly in his heart.
Lu Xun's personality and strategic approach are most in line with the current reality of Da Qi.
In history, Lu Xun was good at the overall situation and careful planning. He was especially good at taking the initiative, assessing the situation, and accurately seizing opportunities. Although he was more conservative in offensive warfare, this was not a shortcoming in Tian Ze's eyes.
The current Qi Dynasty does not need an adventurous general. What it needs is a steady person like Lu Xun who likes to proceed step by step and make great progress.
The night was like a huge black curtain, slowly falling, covering the entire earth in darkness. Lu Xun led the army, and the warships lit torches on the river, moving forward rapidly without any disguise.
There were too many scouts around Quren County, and it was almost impossible to march on such a large scale on water without being discovered. So Lu Xun simply gave up on concealment and rushed towards Liu Bei's camp as quickly as possible.
The soldiers on the guide boat in the front stared at the route map in their hands, constantly comparing it with the "small map" in their minds, for fear of going in the wrong direction.
After all, those reefs and iron spikes do not distinguish between friend and foe.
At this time, in Liu Bei's army camp, the soldiers were already exhausted after days of siege fighting, and most of them had fallen asleep.
Although Liu Bei always controlled the scale of the battle, these soldiers never stopped in order to maintain their power.
The scouts and guards around the camp were still alert.
When fighting against the Qi army, Liu Bei could not afford to be careless. If Pang De or Zhang He led his troops to attack, it would be troublesome. After all, in order to better attack the city, Liu Bei's army's camp was arranged relatively loosely, surrounding Qunin County, and the most feared thing was a sneak attack.
"Enemy attack!"
"My lord, there are a lot of flames on the river. I'm afraid that the Qi army is moving south along the river and attacking us!" The first person to notice that something was wrong was Cai Mao, who commanded the navy.
He immediately ordered his deputy Zhang Yun to start reorganizing the navy, but at the same time he quickly came to inform Liu Bei of the situation.
Because besieging a city does not require too many navy troops, his navy has begun to take charge of logistics matters and has dispersed. At this time, it is impossible to organize a decent counterattack. It is good enough that they can maintain order.
However, the scale of this navy was huge and it was obviously not aimed at him, so Cai Mao chose to report the situation to Liu Bei first without hesitation.
"what?"
At this moment Liu Bei, who had just put on his armor, was suddenly shocked. He thought it was Pang De who attacked the camp, but it turned out to be the enemy's navy.
Pang Tong and Kuai Liang had also arrived at the camp at this time. When they listened to Cai Mao's account of the situation, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
"My lord, this is probably the main force of Tian Ze's army. We are careless!" Kuai Liang said immediately.
What he worried about most happened.
Pang Tong quickly analyzed the situation. He knew that he had to organize an effective resistance as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"My lord, let Zhang Fei and Wei Yan lead the elite troops to quickly organize a defense. Order Huang Zhong to lead his troops to immediately surround our army. As long as we hold our ground, we still have a chance!" Pang Tong made a decisive suggestion. Liu Bei nodded and immediately ordered: "Just follow Shi Yuan's words, pass the order down, and all troops act quickly!"
Just as Liu Bei reacted, the army led by Lu Xun had completed its preparations and quickly gathered on the shore.
Now Lu Xun has awakened his talent, and his "wisdom and strategy" has been activated. The soldiers' organizational ability has skyrocketed, and they disembarked in an orderly manner and organized into formations. Their operation was extremely smooth, as if they had undergone countless drills.
At the same time, Lu Xun quickly discovered the many weaknesses in Liu Bei's army and launched an attack without hesitation.
"kill!"
Countless Lu Xun troops formed a formation and charged towards the camp on the shore.
Although Liu Bei had awakened in time, many soldiers were still in a panic and could not organize a decent resistance.
Lu Xun's army attacked swiftly, quickly breaking through Liu Bei's army's outer defense line and heading into the camp.
He was not obsessed with where Liu Bei was. To be on the safe side, Lu Xun commanded the army to kill the enemy and set fire at the same time, aiming to create the greatest chaos and the largest number of defeated soldiers as quickly as possible.
Lu Xun's army, which only picked on weak opponents, was unstoppable along the way, and consciously drove the defeated troops towards the assembled Liu Bei army.
At this moment, the blind obedience of the defeated army played a huge role.
Although Zhang Fei and Wei Yan had quickly organized a defensive formation, they still seemed so powerless in the face of wave after wave of their own defeated troops.
Zhang Fei's loud shouts and Wei Yan's stopping by killing could only stop a few waves of the fleeing troops. Under the impact of subsequent continuous waves of the fleeing troops, countless fleeing troops were still swept towards them.
Tian Ze, who was watching this scene from afar on the warship, could not help but feel full of admiration and a little envy in his heart.
This extremely smooth attack rhythm and silky use of troops truly made him worthy of being his chosen commander.
A glimpse of the whole picture shows that this wave of operations alone is enough to demonstrate Lu Xun's terrifying battlefield command and planning capabilities, which are something that countless good generals cannot achieve in their entire lives.
This requires a lot of calculation, deduction and improvisation, and decisions must be made in a short period of time.
Lu Xun's orders were continuously issued, and the messengers beside him had a hard time writing them down, but Lu Xun knew them by heart. His speed in observing the situation and thinking was truly admirable, like the art of war.
After realizing Liu Bei's deployment, Lu Xun did not pursue complete success, but flexibly used his accumulated defeated troops to attack the elite troops organized by Liu Bei's army to resist.
On the other hand, the Huang Zhong army that came to rescue was harassed from both wings, without forcefully attacking, bleeding them little by little.
The 5,000 cavalrymen who had been prepared in the rear had now arrived by land at the rear of Huang Zhong's army, ready to pursue and kill them.
Huang Zhong felt extremely aggrieved at this moment. Lu Xun's combo was too smooth and left him no room for maneuver.
Being besieged on three sides, if they organized a defense or turned back to attack at this moment, Lu Xun's troops on both wings would rush in without hesitation. There seemed to be no other choice but to continue the charge.
When Pang De's army in the city saw this, they organized 5,000 cavalry without hesitation and quickly left the city to launch an attack.
With such a huge sound of fighting and continuous flames on the river, it was obviously impossible for Liu Bei's army to be acting. It must be reinforcements arriving.
