The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 332 The Battle of Wuchao

"Reporter, someone outside said he is your friend Xu You." Just as Dongfang Sheng was hesitating, Cao Cao's soldiers came in and said.

Cao Cao jumped up from the mat as soon as he heard it, nodded hurriedly with Dongfang Sheng, and ran out to meet Xu You.

As soon as Dongfang Sheng had a glass of wine, Cao Cao brought in a short middle-aged man with a slender face. Presumably this was the Xu You that Cao Cao's soldiers were talking about.

Xu You wiped the two mustaches on his lips with his hand, glanced at Dongfang Sheng and said to Cao Cao, "This is General Fenwu? Can't I see it that way?"

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Xu You in surprise, Cao Cao quickly pulled Xu You to sit down and smiled awkwardly at Dongfang Sheng: "Meng Ren is Ziyuan, he and I are old friends."

Xu You laughed and said, "Ah, you are very powerful. You are on par with General Yuan."

Xu You called Cao Cao by his nickname as soon as he came up, and there was no respect in his tone, which made Cao Cao feel a little uncomfortable.

Dongfang Sheng put down his wine glass and said, "You came here because you couldn't get along in Yuan Shao?"

Xu You blushed when Dongfang Sheng said a word. It is true that he turned to Cao Cao because Yuan Shao couldn't get along. The reason why he was a little arrogant was because he felt that Cao Cao was not as good as Yuan Shao, so he was able to help. Very busy.

"Old friends, what else do you want to say when we meet, Ziyuan, what good things do you want to tell me this time?" Cao Cao immediately came out to smooth things over.

Xu You coughed softly and said, "Yuan Shao hoarded all the grain and grass in Wuchao. If you can lead Qingqi to burn all the grain and grass in Wuchao, I'm afraid you can defeat Yuan Shao."

As soon as Xu You finished speaking, Cao Cao's face darkened, and Dongfang Sheng looked at him with a smile, which made Xu You, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly doubt himself.

"What's wrong?" Xu You asked a little puzzled.

Cao Cao said in a low tone: "Meng Ren has already sent people to investigate clearly. At the beginning, he sent five generals and 1 people to guard Wuchao. If I want to attack by surprise, my lack of troops may make Wuchao's defenders Fight back, when the time comes..."

Cao Cao didn't say it, and Xu You also understood what he meant. If the surprise attack is unsuccessful, then you will be counterattacked by the defender. This is definitely an unacceptable result for Cao Cao who is at a disadvantage.

For a while, the atmosphere in the military tent was a little silent. Dongfang Sheng drank the fine wine in the cup with a thud, wiped his lips and said, "If Mr. Cao can make fifty Thunderbolt chariots overnight, I can act as the vanguard to open the Wuchao for you." The gate of Wubao!"

"Really!" Cao Cao stood up excitedly.

Dongfang Sheng nodded solemnly.

Cao Cao slapped himself heavily on the thigh and said, "Meng Ren, come to me tomorrow morning and get fifty Thunderbolt cars."

"Okay, success or failure depends on one action. Mr. Cao, you have to choose good soldiers to go with me. Once I open the gate, you will wait for the opportunity to rush in and burn the food and grass." Dongfang Sheng stood up and said.

After the two finished talking, Dongfang Sheng left directly. Cao Cao took a look at Xu You, talked to him indifferently, and left.

In the early morning of the second day, Dongfang Shengcai came to Cao Cao's camp on horseback. Cao Cao had already mobilized five thousand elite infantry and cavalry, and fifty Thunderbolt chariots were waiting at the gate.

Cao Cao glanced at the soldiers behind Dongfang Sheng. Among the soldiers, there was a group of men and horses wearing close-fitting clothes that perfectly displayed their muscles. At the same time, there was a bulging package on their backs, and their knees, elbows, and chest were covered with Cowhide armor and a round helmet on his head.

Cao Cao was at a loss for this kind of strange attire, but if viewed by a modern person, the cowhide armor on these people is just the standard full-body protective equipment for skateboard teenagers.

Combining the last battle with Ma Teng and Han Sui, Dongfang Sheng improved the protective gear on the air force body, added a helmet that mainly protects the head, as well as knees, elbows and chest, so that it can greatly reduce the landing time. Non-combat attrition caused by the process.

Dongfang Sheng led the way, and Cao Cao led his troops to follow up.

At a distance of more than five miles from Wuchao, Dongfang Sheng stopped and said to Cao Cao: "Mr. Cao, give me the thunderbolt car. I will go to the front and open the gate later. When it is done, I will call the car!"

"Well, take care of Meng Ren!" Cao Cao nodded in response.

Dongfang Sheng took the [-] thunderbolt chariots that Cao Cao rushed to make overnight and his soldiers approached Wuchao silently. After more than two months of baptism on the battlefield, Tuobahan became more mature and stable. At this time, he was on guard. Looking around.

"Tuoba don't waste your energy, Yuan Shao's people won't arrange scouts outside." Dongfang Sheng said lazily, "They are planning to let us fall into the trap of ourselves. If they arrange scouts, they are afraid that they will startle the snake."

"They are so proud that they will definitely fail." Tuobahan sneered.

Dongfang Sheng suddenly reined in his horse and turned back to Tuobahan and said, "I have heard a great man say before, 'We must despise the enemy in strategy, and respect the enemy in tactics.' The reason why Yuan Shao is arrogant is because he has this strength. , if we want to defeat him, we must take it seriously and treat them as a powerful enemy to deal with."

"Understood, my lord." Tuobahan bowed his head in shame.

"Take someone to the front to look at the terrain, and test Yuan Jun's reaction casually." Dongfang Sheng took out a pair of self-made binoculars and glanced at the front and said.

"Here!" Tuobahan immediately galloped away with a few soldiers.

About a quarter of an hour later, Tuobahan brought people back.

"My lord, they really don't have scouts outside. They don't pay much attention to our appearance. If we get too close, they will be alerted." Tuobahan said.

"Well, I'm going to assemble the thunderbolt car and push it to the vicinity of Wubao as quickly as possible." Dongfang Sheng nodded.

The thunderbolt car is a semi-finished product and needs to be assembled again before it can be used. However, this thing was designed by Dongfang Sheng, so there is no big problem in assembling it.

Half an hour later, the Thunderbolt chariots were all assembled. Dongfang Sheng used his self-made binoculars to observe that there was no abnormality around Wubao, and then ordered Tuobahan to divide the cavalry into two teams to protect the Thunderbolt chariots in the middle and approach Wupu.

Yuan Jun in Wubao didn't react at first, but when they saw the thunderbolt car, they started to act.

Chunyu Qiong was a little worried when he saw the fifty thunder chariots lined up under Wubao, and then ordered the two generals below each to take a team of Qingqi out to wipe out the other side.

Before Chunyuqiong's Qingqi could come out, Dongfang Sheng had ordered to stop.
