Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 212: Fengchu Pang Tong! (Thanks to I'm no Max for the small reward~)

When Lu Lingqi hurried to the big camp, she was surprised to see that the soldiers in the camp had gradually stabilized.

Although there were already many corpses lying on the ground, there were more people in groups of three or two, turning their spears and halberds like batons to resist the attack of hail.

Moreover, the soldiers tied the war horses to their backs with shields to protect their bodies so that they would not be frightened or injured by the hail!
Seeing that her father's response was more thoughtful than her own, Lu Lingqi's eyes showed a hint of admiration.

He immediately rode his horse to Lu Bu's side and hid under the constantly spinning Fang Tian Huaji.

A full sense of security quickly came over me.

It is tiring enough to keep turning the weapon, and it is even more tiring to resist the hail falling from the sky.

If you accidentally get hit by the finger that is rotating the gun, the pain will be unbearable.

But Lu Bu's figure was as majestic as a mountain, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand was spinning so fast that not a single hailstone could pass through it and fall down.

Lu Lingqi said happily:

"Father, I'm so glad you're all right!"

Lu Bu smiled gently:
"Thanks to Ling'er for providing me with ideas, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to respond so quickly.

"When this battle is over, your father will reward you handsomely!"

Lu Lingqi's smile is as beautiful as a flower:
"Thank you, Daddy~"

Lu Bu just said "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Although he stopped the loss in time, that one blow still caused the death or injury of nearly 4,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 horses!

Many of them were killed by being hit or trampled by the aggressive horses.

If Lingqi hadn't provided ideas in time, I'm afraid they would have lost even more.

It is undeniable that Zhuge Liang's last plan did have the potential to deal a fatal blow to them!

If they suffered heavy losses, Liu Bei would lead his troops back and inflict further heavy losses on them!

Even if they captured Xia Pi City, they would pay a huge price for it, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

But fortunately, the losses are not too great now. Seeing that they have countermeasures, Liu Bei's army no longer has the idea of ​​attacking.

……

In Liu Bei's army.

Zhuge Liang looked at the two war horses, one red and one white, at the gate of the camp, and at the sarcastic smile on Lu Bu's face, his expression was extremely gloomy!
I never thought that the weather I had painstakingly calculated and the trap I had set would be cracked by the other party's daughter.

Could it be that this girl not only inherited her father's bravery, but also the wisdom of future generations?

After this battle, Zhuge Liang finally realized that Lu Bu was the biggest obstacle in his way of helping Liu Bei rebuild Shu Han!

Before this battle, he didn't think Lu Bu was much stronger than Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao no longer has the two top strategists Guo Jia and Xun You.

But people like Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and others are not so easy to deal with.

I didn't expect that Lu Bu's advisers and generals were not as good as Cao Cao, but they were more difficult to deal with than Cao Cao...

They lost this battle because they underestimated the enemy.

I thought I would never meet an opponent in my life again.

But he didn't expect that God would arrange an extremely powerful opponent for him!

But that's what makes it interesting.

If everything had gone smoothly, even if we eventually unified the world, we wouldn't have much sense of accomplishment.

On the contrary, only by fulfilling one's long-cherished wish by stepping on Lu Bu's corpse can one feel satisfied.

At this time, a young man with thick eyebrows, a raised nose, a dark face and a short beard beside Zhuge Liang said helplessly:
"I never thought that even the combined efforts of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix could not defeat a reckless man...

"It seems that God really doesn't give us face."

Zhuge Liang looked at the ugly young man holding an iron umbrella for him and shook his head slightly:
"God has given us enough face, and the enemy is not just a reckless man.

"I'm not afraid of a reckless man who is fierce in battle, I'm afraid of a reckless man who has brains. In the end, we underestimated the enemy.

“However, we did not gain nothing from this battle.

"Not only did we repel Cao Cao, making it impossible for him to recover, but we also established a cooperative relationship with the emperor." "And we consumed a large amount of Lu Bu's food and manpower, which bought time for our subsequent development."

“We lost because we ran out of time.

"As long as we are given enough time, you and I, together as a dragon and a phoenix, will surely help the lord conquer the world!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang turned and looked at Liu Bei not far away.

The other party at this moment has a blank expression on his face, and I don’t know what he is thinking.

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, then stepped forward and said to Liu Bei:
"My lord, the hail is fading now, let's withdraw.

"The enemy still hasn't suffered the expected blow. Our army cannot attack rashly. It is better to return to Pei State and make long-term plans.

"In addition, we also have to hold a funeral for General Yide..."

Liu Bei came back to his senses and the amazement in his heart gradually subsided.

He was amazed not only at Zhuge Liang's accurate prediction of the weather, but also at his admiration for Lu Bu's army.

It was like watching gods fighting, and to him, who was still not mature enough, it felt like a dream.

In fact, Liu Bei felt that this was good enough.

The only regret is that I will never see my third brother again after this battle.

If his third brother had not died, even if he was defeated by Lu Bu, he would have the confidence to start over again.

But without his third brother, he felt like he was missing a soul, and he couldn't muster the motivation to work...

However, when he thought of his third brother, Liu Bei's anger and fighting spirit began to accumulate again.

He immediately ordered:
“Go back… Since I failed to avenge Yide this time, I will definitely fulfill my promise one day!
"Also, I need to rush to the East China Sea to visit Yunchang immediately. Shiyuan, go to Langya and invite Mr. Hua Tuo to the East China Sea.

"I have already lost my third brother, I cannot lose my second brother..."

Pang Tong immediately bowed and said:

"Please rest assured, my lord. We will set off immediately!"

……

Seeing the enemy finally retreat, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.

This sudden hailstorm finally stopped after lasting for nearly half an hour.

Lu Bu looked at the white ice balls covering the camp and was surprised that natural disasters in ancient times seemed to be more severe than those in modern times.

Whenever there is a major war, there will inevitably be a major epidemic or disaster... It is absolutely true.

However, he did not have time to think about it. After ordering the soldiers to rest for a while, he immediately began to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, dismantle the camp, and return to Xia Pi.

They had deployed a total of 90,000 troops in this battle, but now there are only more than 50,000 left.

A quarter of the tens of thousands of war horses were killed or injured, which was a huge loss.

Fortunately, they finally captured the fortified city of Xia Pi, which was like stabbing a sharp knife into the belly of Xuzhou.

After that, it would not be so difficult to attack other places in Xuzhou.

Moreover, Taishi Ci's 20,000 troops in Guangling have already withdrawn, and Guangling can also be recovered.

Only the Donghai Kingdom that was conquered before must have been reoccupied by Zhao Yun and Guan Yu who fled there...

The enemy deployed a total of 70,000 troops in this battle, and when they left, there were only more than 40,000 left, with a loss of nearly 30,000.

For the defenders, this is not a small amount.

Both sides suffered huge losses this time and will not be able to launch another war of the same scale in a short period of time.

However, Lu Bu still had a slight victory over Zhuge Liang and killed a powerful general like Zhang Fei.

Lu Bu also realized that Zhuge Wuhou was not invincible.

Even if you give the opponent some time to develop, you will still have a chance to defeat him the next time you fight!

When he was resting in the governor's mansion, he suddenly saw Gao Shun walking in with an enemy general...
