Chapter 1115: Lü Meng Possessed by the God of the Three Armies
"Why do I feel something is wrong?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Li Shimin.
His danger sense was warning him frantically, as if he was about to encounter something ominous.
Although the army was commanded by Lu Meng, Sun Quan and Lu Xun still followed. After all, ensuring the logistics of an army of 100,000 is not an easy task.
As for their territory, it was guarded by Lu Su and Xu Sheng, so they could rest assured.
In case of an attack, Lu Su could simply change the situation, which would be enough to deter any unprepared army.
"Do you feel any danger?"
When Lu Xun heard what Sun Quan said, he immediately looked at Sun Quan with some surprise.
Sun Quan's ability to sense danger is an ability that is no less powerful than his natural talent as a monarch. Lu Xun and his men are well aware of this, so the moment Sun Quan spoke, Lu Xun's heart skipped a beat.
For an army of 100,000, the only threat that can be posed is probably the enemy's army. Apart from that, even if a meteorite falls from the sky, the army can easily destroy it.
"Oh no! Could it be that Li Shimin has people like Zhuge Kongming and Sima Zhongda under his command?"
"Quickly send someone to inform Marshal Lu! Don't be careless!"
When Sun Quan heard this, his heart suddenly stopped for a moment, and he quickly ordered his men to inform Lu Meng to be careful.
"Not good!" Sun Quan's face became increasingly gloomy, and the uneasiness in his heart became increasingly intense.
But everything has not happened yet, and there is no such thing as safety in war itself. All he can do now is to trust Lu Meng and provide him with good logistical support.
"There may be a tough enemy. Should I be careful?" After hearing the news sent by Sun Quan, Lu Meng frowned tightly.
But he was now in a dilemma. Retreating from Sima Yi's side was itself a bit demoralizing. If the army returned empty-handed because of his concerns, he would be digging his own grave.
"It seems that we can't hold back at all this time!" Lu Meng looked coldly at the direction of Li Shimin's territory. The trump card must be revealed decisively at this time.
He began his field reconnaissance in a normal manner, climbing high to look far into the distance, and so on.
He found a good location to set up camp, and then commanded the army to set up a fake camp, forming a horn on the left and right.
Lu Meng's reconnaissance speed was very fast, and he quickly identified large areas of danger-free areas.
Then he quickly determined Li Shimin's military deployment.
Li Shimin directly selected a piece of land near the mountain, stationed his troops on the mountain, and lined up at the foot of the mountain waiting.
"Are you going to use military force to kill me?" Lu Meng looked at the information in his hand, and his smile became even colder.
Carrying the power of two military gods, he saw through this arrangement almost at a glance.
He even made an accurate judgment based on his intuition that the real killer move was not on the mountain, but behind the army.
Sun Quan and his men are not dead, so they will still collect some intelligence. Whether it is from Luoyang or by sending spies and caravans, they can always get some intelligence.
Li Shimin's trump card, the Black Armor Army, was obviously no secret, and many people had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Do you really think that all cavalrymen can climb walls like Feixiong? If this kind of heavy cavalry can be placed on the mountain, Lu Meng will take off his own head and let the enemy kick it like a ball.
The heavy cavalry would necessarily hide behind the large army formation, wait until the war started, and then attack in one fell swoop.
This is a textbook military formation. If Lu Meng were asked to command the troops, he would definitely do so because it is the most correct choice.
This combination of real and fake tricks might be useful to ordinary people.
But it is meaningless to Lu Meng now. Han Xin himself had served under Xiang Yu in the past and had done in-depth research on Xiang Yu. His military formation was not top-notch, but it was also outstanding.
Therefore, Lu Meng, who had the ability of Han Xin, was extremely sensitive to the situation of the troops.
"Want to defeat me with military force?" Lu Meng's eyes were deep, and he planned to use the enemy's tactics against him.
After determining the opponent's tactics, he calmed down instead. He was afraid of the unknown, but there was nothing to be afraid of when it came to the known. It all depended on the means used.
No matter what kind of deployment the other party has made, the final target is him.
After Lu Meng's army arrived, everyone, including Li Shimin, gasped.
"It's really terrifying!" Yuchi Gong's smile was a little forced. He felt that Li Shimin's move of placing him on the mountain was simply a way to send him to death.
A surprise attack from the mountain is a good idea. After all, from a high vantage point, a single move might be able to directly disrupt the enemy's deployment.
But this strategy depends on the people. For example, Huang Zhong rushed down from Dingjun Mountain and chopped Xiahou Yuan to death, and Ma Su rushed down from the mountain and was almost chopped to death by Zhang He.
Yuchi Gong is indeed a powerful general, and now he has reached the strength to break through the boundary, but when he looks at the army under the command of Lu Meng, he can only swallow his saliva and resist charging forward from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh no, I'm not a cover!"
Yuchi Gong suddenly had an idea and understood something.
Just as Lu Meng saw, Li Shimin never expected that his surprise attack would be successful. He was just a bait to attract Lu Meng's attention.
Or perhaps Li Shimin never thought of hiding his intentions. Anyone could tell how strong Lu Meng was from Lu Meng's previous battle reports.
Therefore, Li Shimin felt that if they fought for command, they would probably die miserably, so it would be more realistic to just rush in.
"A hundred thousand troops are as easy to command as one's own arms. Is this how you command a large army?" Li Shimin was a little amazed as he looked at Lu Meng's army from afar.
Although he did not have the slightest fear, he was extremely impressed by Lu Meng, who was able to command the army so smoothly.
Unlike Yuchi Gong's fear that came from the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin did not have the slightest fear in his heart.
"It would be great if we could recruit such a powerful commander!" Li Shimin looked around with some expectation, then sighed.
"Forget it, let's prepare for the surprise attack. When the time comes, I'll have to ask you to take the lead, Yuanba!"
"Leave it to me!" Li Yuanba touched the mount under his crotch, which was carved with black ink.
This was the mount he caught on the grassland after following Li Shimin here, a refined horse of the realm-breaking level.
It is said to be a horse, but it has horns on its head, so it is called Qilin.
It was a question whether Yuchi Gong could defeat this horse, but after being subdued by Li Yuanba, the horse obediently carried Li Yuanba around everywhere.
There was no way out. Lai Qilin, who originally thought he was invincible, realized what it meant that there are always people better than you when he was knocked down by Li Yuanba's punch .
After getting closer, Lu Meng suddenly changed speed, abandoned the logistics team, and led the army straight to the temporary camp built by Li Shimin and his men.
After abandoning logistics, Lu Meng's marching speed reached an outrageous speed. Lu Meng adjusted the military formation all the way, constantly nesting and correcting it, trying his best to exert his own combat effectiveness during the marching changes to ensure that the legion was in chaos and the formation could still be maintained.
Lu Meng revealed his last trump card, which was also the price he paid for agreeing to Sun Quan to join the gang. It was the original version of the Art of War passed down in the Sun family, the kind that could enter dreams.
Relying on his own abilities, he directly imitated Sun Wu's command in his dream.
Unlike Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, whose abilities were incompatible with those of Han Xin and Bai Qi, Sun Wu's ability was entirely focused on command, a command ability even more outrageous than Han Xin's among millions of soldiers.
Being able to be perfectly compatible with anyone is also his hidden trump card.
The blessing of the two military gods, Han Xin and Bai Qi, also turned into the blessing of the three military gods, Han Xin, Bai Qi, and Sun Wu, at this moment.
Moreover, the three can promote each other, making Lu Meng even more terrifying.
Seeing that Lu Meng's army had launched a direct attack, Li Shimin calmly gave orders to start a counterattack.
They did not intend to compete with Lu Meng in command, so they had already arranged the tasks for other people and tried their best to divert Lu Meng's energy.
"Fight back!" Cheng Yaojin roared loudly while carrying an axe.
Two of his middle-level officers, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, immediately led two thousand men each to follow the two sides of Chen Yaojin's army and attacked towards Lu Meng's flank.
"Rely on the camp and fight head-on?" Lu Meng half-squinted his eyes and watched the changes in Li Shimin's camp.
He didn't even pay attention to the harassment from Cheng Yaojin and others on the flank, and just fired a wave of arrows, then threw Zhu Huan and five thousand men over to fight against Cheng Yaojin.
The enemy's qualities were uneven, and the five thousand elite Danyang troops under Zhu Huan's command were enough to deal with them.
Compared with the flanks, Lu Meng paid more attention to the camp in front of him. The enemy set up a camp to resist and did have certain geographical advantages.
"Well, let's see if you can hold out!"
Although the enemy had the advantage, Lu Meng had no hesitation in retreating. He mobilized a large-scale front line to launch a direct attack.
The power of tens of thousands of people was transmitted to the Danyang elite at the front, and then suddenly stimulated in the form of a certain military formation. At the moment when the two sides came into close combat, a white circle suddenly appeared in front, and then everyone in the entire camp felt the endless pressure coming from the front.
It’s as if they are reefs on the seashore, strong enough to withstand the ebb and flow of the tide, but when the tsunami comes, all they have in their hearts is despair.
Commanding, annihilating the enemy, and conquering the heart, these areas that the god of war excels in were perfectly reproduced by Lu Meng.
When Li Shimin had the advantage of geographical location, Lu Meng decisively used the support of the people to deal a heavy blow to Li Shimin's army.
"How terrible!" Yuchi Gong felt even more stressed as he saw that in less than an hour, nearly half of the defensive camp they had set up had been destroyed.
Although it seemed that Lu Meng had no defenses against him at all, Yuchi Gong was sure that as long as he led his troops to charge forward, he would be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
"kill!"
But Yuchi Gong was a famous general after all. He quickly adjusted his mentality and started the charge with his elite troops.
"Hmph, are you here?" Lu Meng took a glance, then made a slight adjustment and directly ignored Yuchi Gong.
Although he did not have the same foresight of danger as Sun Quan, Li Shimin had not appeared on the battlefield yet, and this was what concerned him most.
Yuchi Gong's military style? It's just a joke.
Any big boss who has experienced Xiang Yu's military situation mowing mode and has not yet died can basically ignore the military situation of others.
No matter how powerful your army, Yuchi Gong, is, it can never be more powerful than King Xiang.
I am now partially possessed by Han Xin and I let you in to mow the grass. I don't even need to watch your operations, I know how to respond. I will give you the command with my feet, come and do it!
Yuchi Gong rushed into the seemingly defenseless Danyang army, and the next second almost one third of the entire army was cut off.
"This TM is really a human!" Yuchi Gong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had no idea what was going on. One third of the troops were directly cut off to the other side.
A strong sense of crisis eroded Yuchi Gong's heart, but he had no other choice but to keep rushing forward. If he rushed forward, there was still a glimmer of hope. If he didn't rush forward, he would really be waiting to die.
"Do you think there is still a glimmer of hope?"
Lu Meng looked at Yuchi Gong who continued to charge and sneered. It could be said that the command of a large army was a dimensionality reduction attack on the command of a legion. At the level of a large army, it would be very easy to kill a boundary-breaking general like Yuchi Gong if he was not led by the commander of a large army.
After taking two glances, Lu Meng no longer paid attention to Yuchi Gong. After all, he was a boundary-breaking general with an elite army with double talents, and it would take some time to wear him down.
Although he had the ability to kill Yuchi Gong's troops directly, withdrawing the cloud energy in that way would result in too many casualties on the front line. What they wanted in the end was victory, not exchange.
So he simply ignored Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin. Neither of them posed any danger to him anymore.
"You can still hold back?" Lu Meng frowned. Despite the obvious disadvantage, Li Shimin had not yet made a move. He even deliberately revealed a few flaws, but the opponent still did not take the bait.
"Strange..." Lu Meng didn't know what to do for a moment. "Did he just surrender and run away?"
However, by shaking his head, Lu Meng got rid of all the distracting thoughts.
No matter where Li Shimin is, as long as he destroys the opponent's camp next, the victory will be secured. By then, even if Li Shimin wants to turn the tables, it will be too late.
"How powerful!" Li Shimin looked at the battlefield. It was almost the same as what Lu Meng had expected. He was now behind the army, waiting for Lu Meng to reveal a flaw.
"Second brother, aren't we going to take action yet?"
Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin and said that they were on a high ground, waiting for the so-called opportunity to fight, but he could see the disadvantage on the battlefield. Li Shimin was still waiting now. Li Yuanba could understand it before, but now Li Yuanba really didn't understand it.
"Wait a little longer, it's not the limit yet!"
Li Shimin also had cold sweat on his forehead. Although he was not afraid, Lu Meng's strength was visible to the naked eye, and he was also under considerable pressure.
He was betting the outcome on himself, and if he couldn't maximize his performance, then the only thing left for him was defeat.
He also made arrangements at the rear of the camp and could only hope that Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin could hold on a little longer.
"Oh!" If it were someone else, they would have asked a few more questions, but Li Yuanba just said "oh" and then raised his head to look at the clouds.
“Attack!”
Just as Lu Meng was about to break into the camp, a loud horn sounded.
Two densely packed spear formations stabbed towards Lu Meng in the most upright manner.
"Hmph, as expected, we are being too cautious." Lu Meng looked at the last line of defense of the camp and couldn't help but feel relieved. He thought it would be something else, but he didn't expect it to be just an ambush.
Although his army was a bit scattered due to resistance in various parts of the camp, and would be at a disadvantage against the spearmen who were waiting in formation, it was just a disadvantage.
Just a slight adjustment would be enough to push back the two legions, then completely cut off Li Shimin's army, sever the cloud link, and achieve the final victory.
"Now! Charge!" Li Shimin drew the sword from his waist, pointed the sword, roared, and started charging.
