Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Fighting Cao Cao
"Lord Inspector, this order is issued in the name of the imperial court. As Han officials, we naturally have to obey it. However, considering the interests of Xuzhou, it is up to us to decide whether to really participate in the war." Liu Bei sorted it out a little. After thinking for a while, he said to Tao Qian.

"Uncle Liu Huang said exactly what I was worried about. How about this, I will allocate [-] soldiers and horses to the emperor. The emperor can lead these soldiers and horses to the expedition. All the emperor uncles need to do things cheaply." Lu Bu said This move made Tao Qian very embarrassed, but now that Lu Bu is here, Tao Qian naturally handed everything over to Liu Bei without hesitation.

"I will live up to my lord's entrustment." Seeing that Tao Qian asked him to send troops, Liu Bei quickly saluted and said respectfully.

On one side Liu Bei dispatched troops, but the march was very slow. On the other side, Lu Bu returned to Yanzhou and hurriedly called all the generals to discuss the strategy against the enemy.

Chen Gong first stepped forward and said: "Now Cao Jun is victorious, eager to fight, and must want to take Yanzhou as soon as possible. Our army might as well pass on false news, saying that the general was burned by fire before and can't fight. Cao Jun will definitely march forward. If we set up an ambush on the road, we will surely capture Cao Cao in one fell swoop."

"The last time I ambushed Cao Jun, Cao Cao unexpectedly took advantage of it, but this time I can't let Cao Cao escape again." Lu Bu also felt that Chen Gong's plan was good, so he agreed and ordered the generals to lead the troops out.

On the second day after Lv Bujun set up an ambush by the side of the road, he saw dozens of horsemen and horses coming. These soldiers were dressed in Cao Jun's uniforms and were well equipped. The rider on the horse is none other than Cao Jun's scout to explore the way.

"General Cao Jun's scouts have arrived. I think Cao Jun is not far away. Do you want me to intercept and kill these scouts?" Seeing Cao Jun's scouts arriving, Dian Wei took a step forward and asked Lu Bu.

"If you go, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble, so let Cao Xing go." Seeing Dian Wei's expectant expression in front of him, Lu Bu said with some noncommittal after a little thought.

"Eh? Don't worry, general, I will be careful, and I will definitely not make any noise to alarm Cao Jun." Seeing that Lu Bu was obviously suspicious of him, Dian Wei patted his chest and assured Lu Bu.

"So, you can go." Seeing Dian Wei's confident expression, Lu Bu nodded.

Seeing that Dian Wei also brought a small number of troops, he sneaked towards the woods beside the road. When Cao Jun's scouts passed the road by the forest, Dian Wei whistled, and several tripping ropes were pulled up at the same time. All the horses of Cao Jun were tripped by the bridle rope. At the same time, a group of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the road and pressed on them at the same time. In just a few breaths, they had already controlled a lot of Cao Jun's time, and even some Cao Jun scouts fell from their horses. He was already in a mess and eight vegetables, and he was caught before he had time to react.

However, among these scouts, there were also some tough ones. Although one of them fell off his horse, he rolled on the spot and came to the side of the road. A sounding arrow, actually thinking about firing the arrow as a warning.At this moment, a short halberd flew out from the oblique stab, but it just hit the Cao Jun's chest.Hearing a "puchi", Cao Jun's body froze for a moment, he looked at the short halberd on his chest in disbelief, and fell to the ground. At this moment, a big man walked out of the woods. The big man came to the dead Cao Jun and pulled out the short halberd behind him. This man was none other than Dian Wei who led the troops to deal with these scouts.

"Clean up here immediately." Following Dian Wei's order, a group of soldiers quickly took all the captured Cao Jun away, and the other soldiers killed Dian Wei just now at the fastest speed. Cao Jun's soldiers carried away the corpses and covered the blood on the ground with soil. Only at this time, Dian Wei turned and left after seeing that there was nothing worth noting.

And not long after Dian Wei left, a large black flag slowly appeared on the south side of the road. The large flag was waving in the wind, with the word Cao written in the middle vigorously, which meant that Cao Cao's army had arrived.

"Mr. Cao, if we are on the road like this, will Lu Bu ambush our army?" Behind Cao Cao, Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao who was looking calmly into the distance, and reminded him aloud.Although Guo Jia also knew that the situation was urgent, it was obviously not a wise move to rush forward like this.

"Hehe, the military advisor is too worried. The scout reported that although Lu Bu escaped his life in the last battle, he was burned by the fire and could not participate in the battle. In this way, our army is sure to win." Seeing that Guo Jia was worried, he stood aside Xia Houyuan said aloud.Although Xia Houyuan also thought that Guo Jia was a good military adviser, Xia Houyuan still felt that Guo Jia was a little too timid, so how could he be able to take on the role of military adviser.

"I have sent a large number of scouts, and I can know the situation within fifty miles. Feng Xiao doesn't have to worry about that. Besides, our current marching speed, although it is a bit difficult for the infantry, is very easy for the cavalry. Yes, there are cavalry guards on the plains, and I am not afraid of the surprise attack of Lu Bu's army. As for the time to attack the city, I will naturally let the infantry rest." Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia said these words out of good intentions, so he explained to Guo Jia. "Actually, I would rather have a decisive battle with Lu Bu on this plain. The loss of the siege is bound to be too huge, which is not a wise move."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia understood that Cao Cao wanted to attract Lu Bu's army and leave the city to attack Cao's army. However, now that Lu Bu is seriously injured, he doesn't know if he will bring troops to come.

"Cao Cao, I, Lu Bu, have been waiting here for a long time." At this moment, on the hill beside the road, a figure wearing a golden armor and a fiery red cloak, sitting on a red rabbit horse chasing the wind, came into view. In the eyes of everyone, this person is Lu Bu who ambushed Cao Jun here.I saw Fang Tian's painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand pointing at Cao Jun, and countless arrows on both sides of the pipe swept towards Cao Jun who was marching like raindrops.

"No, there is an ambush, Mr. Cao, I will protect you and go first." Seeing the sudden appearance of Lv Bujun's ambush soldiers, Xia Houyuan was startled, and before he had time to command his troops to fend off the enemy, he quickly stood in front of Cao Cao and retreated behind Cao Cao .

"Has Lu Bu appeared?" Looking at Lu Bu and the soldiers of Lu Bu's army lying in ambush on both sides of the road, Cao Cao did not panic as he should have after encountering an ambush. He just looked calmly at the hill where Lu Bu was, and let the soldiers around him Surround yourself and leave.

"Send the order, form an array to defend against the enemy." After a while, Cao Cao said a word lightly, and then retreated towards the rear of the army under the leadership of Xia Houyuan.

Yu Jin and other generals who received the order hurriedly prevented the troops from starting to deploy.Just setting up the formation under the rain of arrows from Lu Bu's army, it is already doomed that the losses of Cao's army must be huge.

"Hey, don't you think it's too late to form an formation at this time?" Lu Bu said with a hint of sarcasm when he saw Cao Jun braving the arrow rain to form an formation.Then with a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the pipeline, running towards Cao Jun who was forming an formation.

"Steady and kill me." Seeing Lu Bu's army pressing up, Yu Jin yelled hoarsely, and brought his own soldiers forward to urge Cao's soldiers who had just formed an formation to stabilize their formation, but Cao's army was originally attacked by Lu Bu while marching. Even if these soldiers are well-trained on weekdays, how can they be the opponents of the Lv Bu army who is waiting for work at leisure, even if these soldiers are well-trained on weekdays? And scattered.Even Yu Jin himself was swept back by the flow of people. Yu Jin wanted to kill a few scattered soldiers to calm down the scene.Just looking at the tired bodies of these soldiers in front of them, even if they forced themselves to stay, they might not be able to exert much combat power, so they could only sigh and disperse with the army.

"Ming Gong, let the cavalry go to battle. If this continues, our infantry will be completely defeated." Cao Cao led Guo Jia under the protection of Xia Houyuan and had just stabilized himself on a hill when he saw The large infantry had already started to retreat under the offensive of Lu Bu's army, so Guo Jia hurriedly expressed his opinion to Cao Cao.

"The cavalry of Lu Bu's army has not yet appeared. If we send out the cavalry now, I'm afraid we will lose this battle." Although Cao Cao also saw that Lu Bu's army was chasing and killing his own infantry, Cao Cao was obviously more calm and did not He was not touched by the battle situation in front of him.

"This?" Guo Jia naturally knew that Cao Cao was right, but seeing Cao's infantry being killed by Lu Bu's army, Guo Jia still couldn't bear to say, "Should we let them be killed by Lu Bu's army? "

"War is cruel. What's more, if these people know that I have been dismissed from office, will they still follow me?" Unlike Guo Jia who considered the lives of Cao's infantry, Cao Cao was thinking about how these soldiers would treat him. How much usefulness and value are there.

"My lord, the formation of Cao's army is in chaos. Shall we send cavalry to deal the final blow?" Seeing the defeat of Cao's army in front of him, Dian Wei came to Lu Bu's side and asked.

At this time, although the killing on the battlefield was extremely fierce, behind the hill at Lv Bu's feet, the [-] elite cavalry of Lv Bu's army were waiting quietly without making a sound, including the [-] cavalry of Lv Bu's army. wolf rides.

"Wait a minute, Cao Jun's cavalry didn't show up. Since Cao Cao can watch his men be killed by our army without moving, why should we feel sorry for Cao Cao?" After experiencing countless bloody storms, Lu Bu at this time You can also look at death more peacefully.Since these people are their enemies, they can only be conquered with blood and fire.
