Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443 Burning Lu Bu
As the sound came out, countless Lu Bu troops hiding in the mountains and forests rushed towards the kill, shouting loudly while killing: "Cao Cao is dead, you will not surrender yet." Although Cao's army was large in number, some The clear-headed Cao Jun knows that the enemy is the most untrustworthy on the battlefield, but when he heard this and saw Lu Bujun charging down all over the mountains and fields, he felt a little guilty all of a sudden, and all of his fighting strength was suddenly relieved. Eight points.

"Ming Gong, there seems to be something wrong." Guo Jia quickly reminded Cao Cao when he saw Lu Bu's army rushing out of the mountain and Cao's army being attacked by Lu Bu's army.

"Hmph, show my banner and order the archers to prepare rockets for me." Hearing Lv Bujun's shout, Cao Cao already understood what Lv Bu's plan was. Now that things have happened, Cao Cao can no longer think about it so much.For Cao Cao, the first thing to do is to play his own banner to stabilize the morale of the army, and then save the situation.As for how to save the situation, Cao Cao also had a very clear thought in his mind, that is the Huo Gong that Guo Jia reminded just now, but Huo Gong is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. Cao Jun must have already fought Lu Bu Jun at this time Together, if Cao Cao wants to burn Lu Bu's army, it means abandoning the Cao army who are fighting with Lu Bu's army on the mountain.

"Minggong, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to burn the mountain." Hearing Cao Cao's order, Guo Jia naturally thought of Cao Cao's thoughts, and was startled. You must know that although the fire attack can kill Lu Bu's army in large numbers, it will help Cao Cao move back to the battle. , but it will have a negative impact on Cao Cao, because Cao Jun was burned to death in addition to Lu Bujun.And the commander-in-chief who ordered to burn his own soldiers and horses was difficult to get the approval of the generals around him.

"I have my own opinion." Glancing at Guo Jia, Cao Cao waved his hand to show that he knew.Afterwards, Cao Cao glanced at the army formation in front of him again, and asked Guo Jia, "How many soldiers and horses do we have here?"

"Except for those who have passed through the valley and were ambushed by Lu Bu's army in the valley, we have already killed [-] soldiers and horses on the mountain, and there are still more than [-] soldiers and horses left here." Guo Jia After calculating the strength of Cao Jun in detail, he said to Cao Cao.

"Lead the army to retreat and leave a place for arrows outside the forest. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be shot on the spot." Cao Cao also calculated the soldiers and horses in his hands, and then thought of Guo Jia and ordered.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." As Lu Bu's army rushed to kill, many soldiers retreated down the mountain like a tide when Cao's army was defeated. It was the shooting of Cao Jun under the mountain.

"Mr. Cao has an order. All the troops will fight hard to kill the enemy. Those who kill Lu Bu will be rewarded heavily. Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy." When Cao Jun saw his own people being shot and killed, they all stopped in a hurry. At this time He heard the voice of shouting from the foot of the mountain.

"This? What should we do?" When encountering such a situation, Cao Jun who had retreated was startled and fell silent for a while.

"Brothers, it's a death back and forth, we're going to fight." At this time, someone among the soldiers who were cornered suddenly shouted, and then turned around and rushed in the direction of Lu Bu's army. It's a death, but killing the enemy means a better way to survive, not to mention that the lineup at the foot of the mountain is well-organized, and the news of Cao Cao's death that Lu Bujun shouted just now is self-defeating.

"Go out and capture Cao Cao alive." Seeing that Cao Jun stabilized his figure again and turned to kill him, Lu Bu just smiled and continued to lead the soldiers to charge out.

Although Cao's army was threatened by his own people, he turned back and killed him, but compared with Lu Bu's army who occupied the land and swept down from the mountain.Obviously not dominant, the momentary enthusiasm was quickly shattered by Lu Bujun's ruthless killing, and he could only retreat down the mountain again.

"Order the rocket to prepare and burn the mountain after our people retreat." Seeing Cao Jun retreating from the mountain again, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia with a livid face.

Guo Jia opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just nodded slightly and turned around to leave. Although Guo Jia didn't agree with Cao Cao's idea, he couldn't object to it until now. Let Lv Bujun continue to attack like this, I am afraid that Cao Jun will be unable to resist and will have to disperse. On the contrary, if he sets fire to the mountain, although it will hurt his own people and destroy Cao Cao's prestige, it can indeed turn the tide of the battle. If Lu Bu is burned to death together, then the crisis in Yanzhou will end soon, so even if it loses some prestige, what is it?

"Kill, kill, kill." Hearing the sound of shouting to kill on the mountain getting closer, Cao Cao knew that the enemy was in front of him, so Cao Cao slowly raised his right hand. The archers began to take their positions, loaded one after another rockets on the bow, filled the bow, and were ready to shoot at any time.

"No, Cao's army is going to attack with fire, Ming Jin withdraws troops." Seeing what happened down the mountain, Lu Bu felt a sudden cold sweat spread all over his body, and hurriedly shouted to the messengers beside him.

"Dang Dang Dang, Dang Dang Dang." The rushing sound of gold ringing began to resound on the mountain. Countless Lu Bu soldiers were stunned when they heard the sound. Although they didn't understand what happened, why did they hear it when they were victorious on their side? The sound of Mingjin was heard, but these soldiers were obviously well-trained, and they did not despise the military order because they were puzzled, and immediately left the battle and retreated towards the mountain.

"Lü Bu's army has retreated." Seeing this scene, Guo Jia's eyes flashed with joy, and he said to Cao Cao.But when Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's face, he was shocked, because what Guo Jia saw on Cao Cao's face was a cruel smile.

"Fire the arrows." With Cao Cao's right hand swung down gently, two words protruded fiercely from his mouth.At this time, countless rockets around Cao Cao responded and shot towards the distant mountains and forests.

"Don't shoot, it's your own people, don't shoot, it's your own people." Because of Lu Bujun's retreat, the generals of Cao Jun who had just calmed down and turned back, saw a scene that made them unbelievable. Countless rockets were like shooting stars. Generally, it falls towards itself.

"Chi Chi Chi." The sound of feathered arrows piercing the flesh came. Many Cao Jun had just escaped from the battle, but it was a pity that they did not die in the battle with Lu Bu Jun, but died under the arrows of their own people.

"Duke Ming, isn't this too cruel?" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao, looking at his own people who were shot and killed by the rain of arrows in the distance.

"As long as Lu Bu can be killed, everything is worth it, and they won't die in vain." Cao Cao just said calmly.Originally, Cao Cao also hoped that more soldiers could escape from his side, but since Lu Bu's army has withdrawn his troops, it means that Lu Bu has discovered Cao Cao's plan. Today's battle made Cao Cao understand that Lu Bu is Cao Cao's strong enemy , if Cao Cao can't make up his mind to kill Lu Bu here, then in time, Cao Cao will die.It must be that Lu Bu's current power is already quite large. What Lu Bu lacks now is time. As long as time is given, Lu Bu will definitely dominate the Central Plains, and what Cao Cao wants to do is to take advantage of Lu Bu's long battle line and find an opportunity to kill Lu Bu.So seeing Lu Bu's army retreating, Cao Cao was deeply afraid that Lu Bu would escape, so he quickly ordered to shoot arrows and burn the mountain. Even some of his own soldiers were no longer afraid of it.

"My lord, why did you ask for gold to withdraw our troops? We will win soon." Dian Wei complained when he saw Lu Bu. Although Dian Wei never disobeyed Lu Bu's orders, he was about to win a big victory. But it was Ming Jin who withdrew his troops, which really made people a little puzzled.

"Don't say too much, order the soldiers to drive into the valley ahead." Lu Bu didn't explain anything to Dian Wei, but ordered with the halberd in his hand pointing at the valley not far away.And in the direction that Lu Bu pointed, it was a long valley, and there was a stream in the middle, and the stream was gurgling.

"It's not good, Cao Jun set fire to the mountain." At this moment, flames began to burst out from the mountain forest that was lit by Cao Jun at the foot of the mountain.

"Go into the valley quickly." Lu Bu quickly ordered. At this time, Lu Buzhi'en could think of a way, that is to go into the valley and cover his mouth and nose with wet clothes. The proportion of suffocation to death is much higher than those directly burned by fire. As for preventing the spread of the fire, Lu Bu also has a way. However, this can only be done after the sergeants have withdrawn to the valley.

"Ming Gong, what should we do now?" Watching the fire gradually spread on the mountain, Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.

"Send out soldiers to set fire to the surrounding forests. Lu Bu must not be allowed to escape." Cao Cao clenched his fists with one hand and frowned slightly.Although Cao Cao also felt that it was impossible for Lu Bu to escape from such a forest fire, Cao Cao was still a little worried.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh." Not long after the fire swept past, the sky started to rain.And in an unnamed valley among these mountains, a team of tired black and gray faces leaned on each other, showing a tragic smile to the increasingly heavy rain. It was none other than the battle with Cao Jun, and he was about to win a big victory, but it was Lu Bujun who was almost roasted by Cao Jun.

"My lord, let's eat something." Dian Wei walked slowly to Lu Bu, and said to Lu Bu, who was beside him with a piece of burnt meat.The piece of meat in his hand looks like it was left by a small animal after being burned by the fire. It has short limbs and a small head, but it has turned into a scorched black piece after being burned by the forest fire. It is unclear. The race of Zeng Jin.
