The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 260 Volume The tiger is out of the cage!

"His Majesty!!"

When Guan Yu saw Liu Xie appear behind him, he quickly called his personal soldiers over and placed a large shield in front of Liu Xie.

"This place is dangerous, Your Majesty, please..."

Guan Yu originally wanted the emperor to retreat.

But then he realized that since the emperor had come here, it was impossible for him to retreat.

The greater the help the dragon flag can bring when it moves forward, the greater the panic it will bring when it moves backward.

Now that the emperor has come here, it means that he can only keep moving forward!

"Don't worry, Yunchang."

"Since I'm here, I know what's going on."

Liu Xie looked to the left and right.

"When the Grand Master taught me the art of war, he mentioned that there are ten types of battle formations."

"Square, circle, cone formation, goose formation, hook formation, mysterious formation, sparse formation, number formation, fire formation, water formation."

"The fire array and water array are limited by the terrain and are not often used."

"The sparse formation and the multiple formations are strategies to counter the enemy's formations by using the real and fake tactics. They are of no benefit at the moment."

"Among the remaining formations, Grand Master usually only uses square, circle, cone, and goose formations to play against me."

"It's because the Gou Xing and Xuan Xiang formations are more difficult, so the Grand Master always says that unless you are a good general, you should not use these two formations against the enemy."

"Although I am still not good at fighting today, I will use this formation once."

When Guan Yu heard this, his eyes lit up as he looked towards the left and right wings.

"Your Majesty, are you going to use the Hook Formation?"

"Ah."

The hook-shaped formation was originally a chariot warfare method used in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Chariot soldiers were placed on both sides of the battlefield, and crossbows, halberds, spears and other types of soldiers were placed in the middle. The middle would attack first and hook the enemy, and the chariot soldiers in the vertical lines on both sides would attack and bite the hooked prey to death.

At the moment, Liu Xie simply replaced the chariot soldiers that had long been eliminated on the two wings with cavalry, turning the cavalry into weapons for harvesting.

As for the "hook", Liu Xie replaced it with "bait".

This "bait" is the emperor himself! The dragon banner itself!

After it was transformed into a hook formation, the cavalry units that were originally responsible for guarding the left and right wings were instantly freed.

The original tactical defense turned into tactical offense.

Liu Xie didn't know what the situation was in the east.

But if the Southern Xiongnu in the west still used the previous tactics against Lu Bu, Lu Bu could completely ignore them, rush out of the cage, rush into the central battlefield, and sweep with cavalry!
At this moment, Lu Bu, who was being tortured by the Southern Xiongnu cavalry, saw the emperor's dragon flag moving forward, and knew that the emperor's arrangement had finally begun.

"Change!"

The reason why Lu Bu was always stabbed in the waist by the Southern Xiongnu was that according to the previous arrangement, the cavalry under his command had to stick their heads to the front of the formation to attack, and keep their butts to the rear to defend, so that the Southern Xiongnu could reach their waists.

But just as Liu Xie had originally envisioned, after the change in formation, Lu Bu finally no longer had to stay behind to defend the central army.

All restraints were released at this moment. Lu Bu, the fierce tiger, was finally completely liberated and led all the cavalry to charge towards the Southern Xiongnu's line.

When Luan Tihuchuquan saw this scene, his face changed immediately: "Retreat!"

When hunting a wild animal, never stand in front of it!

Because once it breaks free, you will have to face its wrath!

"withdraw!"

But Luan Tihuchuquan seemed to have forgotten one thing.

In other words, as the Khan of the Xiongnu, he was no longer qualified to engage in a war of this scale.

On a battlefield with 100,000 people, there is only one way forward! Forward! And forward again!
Just as once Liu Xie's dragon flag arrived at the front line, they could not retreat.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t!

As Luan Tihuchuquan gave the order, the Southern Xiongnu cavalry immediately began to lose their composure and were caught in the frontal battlefield in a daze.

In particular, although the Southern Xiongnu cavalry seemed to be united and had a nominal Chanyu, their forces were not mobilized in a unified manner.

Shanyu tribe.

Zuoxianwang Department.

Right Wise King Department.

These are three separate entities!
Although the cavalry of the Shanyu tribe retreated, part of Qubei of the Right Wise King tribe was trapped in the center of the battlefield!
Many Xiongnu cavalrymen from the Right Wise King's tribe looked blankly at the retreating Chanyu tribe, the missing Left Wise King's tribe, and the swaying eagle-headed banner of their own Right Wise King's tribe.

It was not that the Right Wise King Qubei did not want to evacuate.

It was just that Qubei was sandwiched between the cavalry of Luan Tihuchuquan and the infantry formation of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Now Huochequan ordered the troops to withdraw, but the infantry of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops were still charging forward. This forced Qu Bei to either run over the center of the infantry of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops, or wait for Huochequan's Chanyu troops to retreat completely before he could squeeze out of the gap!
Simply put—

Go and be humble, you are surrounded by your own people!

Right now, the Right Wise King's tribe has become the meat shield of the Chanyu's tribe!
Unless Huochuquan completely evacuates the battlefield, he can only face the unrivaled warrior head-on -

Lu Bu!

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the south!
Countless broken limbs and arms exploded from the crowd, and a red figure smashed into the Right Wise King's tribe like a meteor, blasting it into ruins!
Wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head!
Wearing a Xichuan red brocade robe with flowers!
Wearing a chain armor with a beast face and swallowing head!
A delicate lion belt tied around the waist!
The red rabbit hissing at the crotch and the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand!
The blood dyed Lu Bu's face red, and the wild laughter on his face made him look like a devil!

"You guys just had a lot of fun!"

Being harassed over and over by the Southern Xiongnu, Lu Bu has already become extremely frustrated!

Now that he was finally freed from his restraints, Lü Bu no longer had any scruples and rushed directly towards the Right Wise King's banner nearby! Seeing Lü Bu's horrified look, Qu Bei had no intention of resisting at all and quickly turned his horse's head to flee.

"Don't go! Weren't you Hun bastards very happy just now?"

Lu Bu smashed his Fang Tian Hua Ji hard, creating a road paved with blood in front of him.

Red Hare stretched out its limbs, as if the distance limit on the battlefield had been removed, and it carried Lu Bu to the front of Qu Bei.

"General Lu, wait a minute! I..."

Qu Bei's last life instinct made him unable to help but call out, but Lu Bu simply put down his halberd and stabbed it out from his open mouth!
Half of Qubei's head disappeared in an instant, so that his body didn't even have time to react. After losing his mind, he still made a gesture of begging for mercy.

"The Right Wise King is dead!"

"The Right Wise King is dead!"

"..."

The surrounding Hun cavalry fled in all directions instantly.

Regardless of whether the people in front of them were fellow tribesmen of the Chanyu tribe, or infantrymen under the command of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they rode their horses and trampled over their heads, crying and shouting that they wanted to return to their homes.

"He is only the Right Sage King?"

Lu Bu also heard the shouts of the enemy troops around him. He looked at the big banner with boredom, and then he simply raised the big banner of the Right Wise King, which represented the arm of the Xiongnu, with one arm and carried it on his shoulder.

"Where is the Xiongnu Chanyu?"

Lu Bu had promised the emperor that he would kill more foreign leaders.

And a mere Right Wise King of Southern Xiongnu...is obviously not qualified!
"General Lu, Huchuquan ran away!"

Someone gestured to Lu Bu to look at the banner of the Xiongnu Chanyu who was fleeing with his tail between his legs, which made Lu Bu spat in dissatisfaction.

"Dry!"

Seeing that Huochequan had fled the battlefield, Lu Bu changed direction and continued to advance towards the central battlefield!

Dispersing the Southern Xiongnu cavalry was only a small local victory.

The real battlefield will eventually be the showdown right in the center!
In fact, Yan Liang and Wen Chou had already noticed the change in the Han army's formation.

But Liu Xie had already turned the core of the "hook formation" into "bait".

The emperor is the bait!

Dragon banner as bait!

Which general can withstand such temptation!
Therefore, even though they noticed that Lu Bu was out of his cage and was charging towards the Southern Xiongnu, they still chose to fight with Guan Yu in the formation!
They believed that with their military strength, they could definitely reach the emperor's dragon banner before Lu Bu arrived to support them!

But the development of the battle on the flank was obviously beyond the expectations of the two.

"Luan Tihu Chuquan! I will kill your ancestors for eight generations!"

Based on Huochequan's decisive retreat, Yan Liang and Wen Chou could tell at a glance that he definitely had no intention of helping their central army resist Lu Bu's attack from the beginning!

Especially after Lu Bu killed Youxian King Qubei, the cavalry of Youxian King's army rushed towards Yan Liang and Wen Chou in a panic, which caused a lot of trouble for themselves!
"How to do?"

Wen Chou asked Yan Liang.

"What else can be done?"

Now Yan Liang and Wen Chou have only two choices.

First, divide the troops to block Lu Bu from the flank.

Second, continue to advance, tear through Guan Yu’s defense line, and destroy the dragon banner that dares to use itself as bait!

……

"Only a fool would fight Lu Bu!"

They also saw how Lu Bu killed the Xiongnu Right Wise King Qu Bei in battle just now.

Is that thing a person? Huh?

Compared with Lu Bu, they would rather fight with this unknown "Guan Yu" in front of them!
"attack!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately stopped paying attention to Lu Bu who was attacking them from the flank, and led their troops to attack Guan Yu!
"Yun Chang!"

Liu Xie also noticed that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were leading the charge, so he pointed at them and asked, "Yunchang, what do you think of Yan Liang and Wen Chou?"

Although Guan Yu was panting heavily, this did not prevent him from stroking the long thread with his hand, and stared at the two of them sideways: "They are just people who are willing to sell their heads, and they are just chickens and dogs!"

"good!"

Liu Xie liked this kind of arrogant Guan Yu.

Immediately, Liu Xie asked Zhong Yao beside him to bring a pot of good wine to pour into the bowl.

"It's not warm, I hope Yunchang won't despise it."

"Your Majesty has given me wine, how could I despise it?"

Guan Yu wondered why the emperor insisted on "warming the wine", but this did not prevent Guan Yu from flatly refusing.

"How can I accept the wine given by the emperor without any merit?"

"I will chop off their heads, and then we can drink this celebratory wine!"

After saying this, Guan Yu kicked his horse's belly and charged towards Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was also a little flustered when he saw a red-faced man suddenly rushing out.

But when he saw Guan Yu's arm holding the sword trembling slightly, he immediately smiled knowingly.

"It's nothing more than a wax head of a silver spear! Look, I, Yan Liang, will chop off your head with one blow today!"
