Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 487 Arriving in Puyang 1
Cao Cao's army entered Yanzhou smoothly, and then Cao Ren led an army of [-] to besiege the rebels in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao led the remaining [-] troops to Puyang to face Lu Bu.

Just as Cao Cao's army was marching towards Puyang, Lu Bu had already transported the last batch of luggage into Puyang City, and the next time was the moment to face Cao Cao, Lu Bu had already made all preparations.

On Puyang City, a group of peasants were busy reinforcing the towers, piles of arrows were transported to the side of the battlements, and pieces of wood or wood were transported to the city wall. In order to deal with Cao Cao's army, Lu Bu was doing enough. ready.

In the camp, except for most of the cavalry under Lu Bu's command, the rest of the soldiers were training.Zhang Liao was personally in charge of the military training of the recruits.

Except for the elite troops under Zang Ba's command, the rest of the troops who came to seek refuge with Lv Bu could only be called mobs. If these people were allowed to fight Cao Cao, I am afraid that Lv Bu would only be defeated.

However, what Lu Bu really relied on was the cavalry in his hands, but he didn't intend to waste the lives of these old brothers in the early defense battle.

The lethality and role of cavalry are reflected in field battles, and the formation of cavalry is too expensive. Training cavalry and cavalry is more time-consuming than training six or seven infantry. Therefore, Lu Bu intends to use the cavalry in his hands at the most critical moment.

Lu Bu walked into the school grounds and saw groups of recruits who were practicing assassination or defense in full swing, while Zhang Liao watched everyone's training from the spotting stage.

After a while, Lu Bu also walked up to the commander's platform, and he said to Zhang Liao, "What's the matter, Wen Yuan, will these new recruits come in handy?"

"My lord, please don't worry." Zhang Liao replied, "If you're just defending the city, these recruits are enough, but just in case, it's better to send some veterans to support the formation.

The best soldiers are those who survived the battlefield. There are more than 2 recruits here. It would be good if we can survive 5000. Although we occupy the advantage of the city wall, the soldiers under Cao Cao's command are all hundreds The elite fighters are probably not something these recruits can handle.

However, not letting these recruits see blood can make them grow up.The soldiers under Xuan Gao's command are elite, and he can divide his subordinates into three batches as a reserve team. When it is critical, let the reserve team step forward to stand up, and let these soldiers resist at ordinary times. "

"Hahaha, okay, Wenyuan is doing business, I am most at ease." Lu Bu laughed and said, "I have just been to Xuan Gao's camp, and the soldiers in his camp are also training now.

When defending the city, you, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng each lead six teams, and then take turns defending the city so that each other can have a rest.

With the troops under Xuan Gao's command as the reserve team, you are in charge of all the battles during the day, and Xuan Gao will be in charge at night, so that Puyang can be safe from any mistakes. "

"My lord is wise." Zhang Liao clasped his hands and replied, "This will ensure that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be maximized, and all the soldiers will go to the city to defend. After this battle is over, the lord will get another [-] to [-] elite soldiers."

"Report,,,,,,," a messenger ran over to report: "My lord, there is news from the scouts ahead, and the military division invites my lord to go to the tower to discuss the military situation."

"Oh, come so soon?" Lu Bu laughed and said, "That's fine, I'm a little anxious to wait any longer, Wen Yuan, order all the soldiers to take the time to rest and prepare to go to the tower for defense at any time."

"No, the last general will do it now."

Lu Bu followed the messengers to the tower, but saw Chen Gong watching on the map. When Lu Bu approached, Chen Gong immediately said, "My lord, there are news from the scouts in front that there are a large number of cavalry in Yanzhou. It seems that Cao Cao's troops It's here."

"Have you found out who is leading the army?" Lu Bu asked, "How many cavalry are there? Where are they now?"

"This is still under investigation." Chen Gong replied: "However, it should be that Cao Cao has arrived. A few days ago there was news that cavalry appeared in Yanzhou, and the leading general was Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan is known as the fastest general in Cao's army, and it is likely that he came to the front to open the situation for the follow-up troops.There are no good generals in Yanzhou, and there are almost no people who can resist Xia Houyuan.

Now Cao Cao's army should have all entered Yanzhou, otherwise these cavalry would not be so active and arrogant.I guess, Cao Cao is probably coming towards us. "

"After working for so long, I'm afraid he won't come." Lu Bu said confidently, "Cao Cao, let me see how you can get Puyang back from me, hum."

More than 100 miles away, Cao Cao's army had already set up camp. Cao Cao called the generals for a meeting. This place is only two days away from Puyang.

"Soldiers, if we go further, we will be in Puyang. Our greatest opponent is waiting for us in Puyang." Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said, "Although Lu Bu is brave, he is capricious, and his followers are all The tired teacher.

Our army can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Lu Bu and recover Puyang in one fell swoop. As long as we can defeat Lu Bu, the entire territory of Yanzhou can be recovered within half a month. "

"The last general will wait for the lord to get rid of this thief." Everyone clasped their hands and replied.

"Okay, then let's discuss how to fight this battle." Cao Cao called everyone to sit down and said, "Yuan Rang, tomorrow you will lead your [-] cavalry as vanguards to inquire about news.

Our army is only two days away from Puyang, and it is impossible to hide Lu Bu from it. You have to clear the way for the army, and at the same time, try your best to catch the opponent's scouts and find out the news.

Lu Bu's cavalry is very elite, you have to be more careful, and you must not be entangled by the opponent.As long as you can ensure that Lu Bu's army is in the city, it will be regarded as meritorious service, and you must not rush to attack the city. "

"No, the last general will take the order." Xiahoudun stepped forward to take the order. He understood the weight of his mission, and also understood that the success or failure of his mission was directly related to the success or failure of the army.

"Lü Bu is brave, but he is too conceited." Cao Cao continued, "Although he has the advantage of the city at this moment, I expect him to go out of the city to fight our army.

According to Lu Bu's personality, he will definitely lead an army to challenge, even if he doesn't come, I will go to the city to meet him.The bravery of Lu Bu is well known to the world, everyone, don't hold back anything at that time, everyone should besiege Lu Bu together, this thief cannot be defeated by one person. "

"No." Everyone took the order again. They understood that the next battle was not a time to be a hero. Facing Lu Bu, none of them dared to say that they could defeat each other. The best way was for everyone to fight together to kill them. Lu Bu.

"Zhongkang, you have seen Lu Bu's bravery before." Cao Cao said to Xu Chu beside him, "You have worked hard all these years just to meet Lu Bu again. Now is your chance, but I hope you will not be too careless. gone."

"My lord, please don't worry." Xu Chu stepped forward and said, "Zhongkang knows the importance. If Lu Bu comes, Zhongkang will definitely besiege Lu Bu with all the generals."

In Cao Ying, only Xu Chu is the most powerful, and even the brave general Xiahou Dun is worse than him.It's just that Xu Chu is outstanding in bravery, but his leadership ability is mediocre, so he can only guard Cao Cao's safety at ordinary times.

However, this Xu Chu is indeed not ordinary, especially because he is a bit paranoid in character, and his dedication to martial arts has made him make great progress over the years. Cao Cao even called him a tiger idiot.

Cao Cao was afraid that at this time, his generals would make old mistakes, so don't focus on single-handedly fighting with Lu Bu and prevent other generals from intervening.Now with Xu Chu's commitment, Cao Cao can be relieved.

At this time, a large army was gathering in Puyang, and war could break out at any time. Cao Cao was determined to defeat Lu Bu first, otherwise he would have no chance to recover Puyang.

Two days later, Cao Cao led the army to reach twenty miles below Puyang City. At this time, it was still early, Cao Cao ordered the army to set up camp, and at the same time he also sent a large number of cavalry to inquire about the news nearby.

After confirming that Lu Bu's army was in the city, he ordered all the troops to meet Lu Bu in Puyang City.

Not long after, Cao Cao led 5000 troops to the city of Puyang. After hearing the news, Lu Bu immediately ordered [-] cavalry to go out of the city to fight.Sure enough, as Cao Cao expected, Lu Bu paid too much attention to his bravery, thinking that force could solve everything, so he led the troops out of the city to confront Cao Cao at this time.

In front of the two armies, the horses neighed.Due to Gongsun Xu's opening of the market in northern Xinjiang, the princes of the Central Plains did not lack horses at this time, and Cao Cao had tens of thousands of part-time cavalry under his command. Now that he is facing Lu Bu, Cao Cao is not weak.

"Lü Bu, you traitor, you sneaked into Yanzhou while I was leading the army, you villain, you dare to spy on my Yanzhou territory." Cao Cao stepped forward and scolded, "Today I will definitely want you to die in Puyang City."

"Hahahaha, Meng De, are you joking?" Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "If it was unjust for me to go to Yanzhou, then what is it for you to attack Xuzhou? I know who you are, so stop talking nonsense now. Come on, let's see the real chapter under our hands."

"Hmph, don't be crazy." Cao Cao said angrily, "Who will kill this thief for me?"

"The last general asks for a fight." Le Jin rode out, he was the first to call for a fight.

Someone on Lu Bu's side knew Le Jin, but Lu Bu was not very familiar with him. He felt that Le Jin was unfamiliar, so he asked the generals, "This is an unknown man. Who would like to go out and kill him?"

"The last general has not made any meritorious service since he surrendered to the lord." Zang Ba stepped forward and said, "Let the last general fight. I want to see how powerful Cao's generals are."

"Okay, Xuan Gao, I'll fight for you."

After Zang Ba took the order, he shot out with a gun and went straight to Le Jin. After the two informed each other of their names, they didn't talk nonsense, and the two immediately fought together.

Both sides thought that the other party was an unknown person, but after a fight, they realized that the other party was hiding everything.Le Jin is proficient in martial arts, and Zang Ba is also outstanding in marksmanship. There is no difference between the two for a while, and neither can do anything to the other.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many capable people in Cao's army." Lu Bu said to himself: "An unknown person in the area can even draw with Xuan Gao. It seems that I still underestimate Grandma Cao."

The soldiers of both sides are staring at the battle between the two in the field. This first battle is related to the morale of their respective armies, and there is no room for everyone to be indifferent.
