Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 420 I want to fight

An army of 70 was stationed in the Baihe area, and on the opposite side of the Baihe was the allied army of the grassland barbarians. The mighty camps of the two armies were boundless.

The barbarians did not dare to attack by force. Although there were no mountains on the Baihe River, the roads were bumpy and uneven, and there were dense jungles on the left and right sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There are still 45 barbarian coalition forces this time. Regardless of the three wars, most of the dead are slaves they plundered.

Especially in the battle of Yanmenguan, most of them were slaves of various tribes and Han people who had lived on the grassland for a long time.

Although the Han army seems to have suffered heavy losses, the losses here refer to the loss of geographical advantages, and the cities in various places have fallen.

There are too many Han Chinese troops, but they can't crowd into one place to fortify, they can only fortify all the roads to prevent the enemy from invading.

This also gave the enemy a chance to defeat the enemy. With the mobility of the cavalry, they harassed everywhere. The Han army could not tell the truth from the truth, while the barbarians only needed to seize a little force to attack.

Therefore, the seemingly defeated Han army did not lose much strength. It can be said that almost all the Han troops who died in battle were trampled to death by cavalry on the way to retreat.

Few people died in the battle, but the Han army had to retreat. When a place fell, the enemy cavalry could drive straight in and completely surround them.

Geographical advantages can sometimes become disadvantages!
At the rear of the endless barracks came a dusty army, each of which was wearing leather armor, and only a small number of generals wore iron armor.

The strange thing is that this soldier and horse does not have any weapons, but the longbow and quiver on its back is empty. There are only armor and horses on its body, nothing else.

Outside the gate of the camp, Lu Bu led all the civil and military generals to watch the reinforcements rushing from a distance, and the flag with the word Cao was swaying in the wind.

When the army arrived, the two looked at each other from a distance. They hadn't seen each other for several years since Luoyang. Cao Cao's face became darker and more mature.

In Cao Cao's eyes, what he saw was Lu Bu's aura of calmness and self-confidence, which was less arrogant and more domineering than that of Hulaoguan.

"Munde!"

"Follow first!"

The two looked at each other from a distance and shouted at the same time, neither of them got off their horses, instead they rode their horses leisurely forward.

When the two met within three steps, Cao Cao pointed at Lu Bu with a mocking smile and said, "I haven't seen you in Hulao Guan for several years. In recent years, the name of the parachutist Lu Bu has been well-known. Even better than the Overlord of Western Chu, but when we met today, I realized that being famous is not as good as meeting each other, tsk tsk~"

Seeing Cao Cao's taunt, Lu Bu's subordinates and soldiers glared angrily, but Lu Bu laughed loudly, clasped his hands together and said, "I haven't seen Meng De for several years, and this talk is even better than before!"

haha~
The two suddenly burst into laughter, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Bong Xiao, send an order to Meng De's army to prepare weapons and meals!"

promise!
But the ugly faces of the generals behind Cao Cao turned for the better. Twenty thousand troops went deep alone without any weapons.

For soldiers, only the weapons in their hands can bring them a sense of security.

Although the 70 Cao army came to help, even though there was not even a splash in the [-] army, it was indeed obvious in terms of morale.

The soldiers in the army looked at the reinforcements one by one with joy, every point of their troops increased their chances of winning.

The soldiers of the three armies cheered, and next to the flag with the character Lu in the sky above the camp, there was a flag with the character Cao, which was one point lower, fluttering in the air.

The civil and military officers in the handsome tent sat and enjoyed the wine and meat. Cao Cao stroked the short beard on his chin and sighed, "How is the situation in Fengxian now?"

Cao Cao, who had eaten a few mouthfuls of food, had no choice but to ask about the military situation. Before Lu Bu could speak, all the generals in the tent fell silent.

The oppressive atmosphere reverberated in the air, but Lu Bu chuckled lightly, "Meng De came just in time, and the general is preparing for the battle!"

Hiss!

The generals brought by Cao Cao took a deep breath one by one. Lu Bu, who had lost three battles in a row, still wanted to fight.

The irritable Xiahou Dun couldn't help shouting: "War book! Are you crazy? The morale of the enemy army is like a rainbow. You have lost three battles in a row. How can we start a war!"

"If Cao Jun's son is afraid, just leave, don't come here to make a fool of yourself!"

For a moment, all the generals in the tent shouted and cursed, only Cao Cao was startled when he heard it, and then squinted at Lu Bu, as if he wanted to see through Lu Bu's plan.

"To shut up!"

Cao Cao and Lu Bu shouted angrily in the noisy handsome tent at the same time, and the tent fell silent immediately.

But Cao Cao silently picked up the wine bottle and drank it down, moistened his dry throat, then looked up at Lu Bu and said hoarsely: "With 70 troops in hand, why not stick to it until the cold winter, when the grassland barbarians will retreat!"

But Lu Bu shook his head lightly, and said without any emotion: "The barbarians will never die, and the Han people will not die. I am afraid they will come again next time. We must not let it go!"

The two were playing charades, and finally Cao Cao looked deeply at Lu Bu, then laughed, shut his mouth and never mentioned the war again, instead he devoted himself to the food.

There is only the sound of eating in the tent, and the atmosphere is full of weirdness and silence.

Regarding Cao Cao's arrival, the civil and military officials in the tent admired him from the bottom of their hearts. I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to take risks with their lives.

However, Cao Cao, who was eating, kept showing images of passing through Lu Bu's camp just now in his mind. The cobblestone ground was not suitable for cavalry.

There is also the uneven ground, the left and right sides are almost covered with dense jungle, and there are countless antlers in the camp.

Ballistas and catapults were also set up on the defensive lines, which were completely iron-like defenses. As long as they lasted, they could win. Why did Lu Bu want to fight!

Cao Cao can be said to be a master in the art of war, and he is even more aware of the advantages of cavalry. He does not have any favorable location here in Baihe, and he cannot use the advantages of cavalry at all.

Moreover, there are too many Han troops here, as many as 70. It can be said that the army behind the front line cannot see the enemy.

The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, what if the enemy secretly sends a cavalry to bypass this place?

Cao Cao, who was thinking secretly, shook his head, no, there are at least [-] to [-] cavalry under Lu Bu's command, which may not be a big deal on the grassland, but it is definitely the number one in the Central Plains.

If you want to take a detour to attack the rear, less cavalry will be of no use at all, and will be defeated by Lu Bu one by one. If there are too many, then the 70 troops here are not vegetarians.

It is entirely possible to choose the army to press on steadily.

If he were to lead the army, he would focus on stability, step by step, relying on the layout of the barracks, and advance a few miles every day.

Overwhelm the place first in terms of momentum, and after the barbarians on the grassland don't get any advantage for a few months, the morale of the army must be confused first. After all, the customs on the grassland are different from those in the Central Plains.

Especially now that the grassland coalition forces come from different tribes, how could they be willing to spend time here with you except for any benefits.

What Cao Cao thought of was Yangmou. Under the oppression of an upright army, first restore the morale of the army, and then hold out until the enemy army loses its position first.

　Please support the genuine version. It only costs [-] cents a day, which is not enough for a cigarette of the brothers. After a lot of hard work, it is enough for the brothers to give half a cigarette a day. It is really not expensive.
