Section 24 The Coming of the Fierce God
In other words, Lu Bu is looking forward to proving the strength of Yanzhou's hegemon with a vigorous head-to-head showdown. At the same time, Cao Cao also hoped to have a field battle with LΓΌ Bu outside Juancheng. It must be known that as Chen Gong had previously analyzed to Lu Bu, since the actual control area was reduced to three counties, Cao Cao's originally proud army of more than 100,000 became his talisman in the blink of an eye. If you don't take advantage of the current momentum of the whole army being angry at the theft of Xuzhou and the morale is booming, Lu Bu will be dealt a heavy blow. The army will be shaken by the lack of food and grass. It may even trigger the defection of the Qingzhou soldiers, the largest source of the Cao army. After all, these Qingzhou soldiers were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and Cao Cao could not expect these people to be as loyal as his own soldiers. What's more, some of them were once recommended by Chen Gong. In short, for whatever reason and for what purpose, on the third day of Cao Cao's return to Juancheng, he and Lu Bu had their first confrontation on the outskirts of Juancheng.
I saw that under the bright spring sun, Lu Bujun spread out horizontally, and its left and right wings were arranged in echelons forward, like an ape opening its arms in a vain attempt to take the Cao army in front of him into its arms. As for the coach Lu Bu, he is wearing a golden crown, holding a halberd, riding a red rabbit, standing in the formation, which is really not majestic.
Compared with Lu Bu, who is like a giant spirit god in golden helmets and golden armor, Cao Cao, who is also the lord, is obviously much inferior. His seven-foot-long height was inconspicuous among the fierce generals. Fortunately, Cao Cao is strong, puts on armor, and then crosses the famous horse, and looks heroic from a distance. However, Cao Cao himself didn't care about this gap, on the contrary, he waved his whip with great interest and pointed at the golden Lu Bu on the opposite side, and joked that he had heard that Lu Bu was good at retouching the edges, and when he saw it today, it was indeed the case. Zhongde, come and see what Lu Bujun is doing? β
Cheng Yu, who accompanied Cao Cao on the expedition, replied and returned to the lord, and Lu Bujun was in an ape arm formation. This is a formation in which the cavalry is placed on the flanks and the infantry is placed in the center and rear. Although this formation was convenient for the cavalry to outflank and detour, the defense in the rear was relatively weak. Want to come ......."
"I think that Lu Bu wants to rely on his own martial arts and the cavalry and archery superiority of the Bingzhou soldiers to outflank and annihilate our army in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao said this, looked at Lu Bujun on the opposite side and smiled meaningfully, "Hmph, then let's see if he Lu Fengde eats me Cao Mengde first this time, or whether I Cao Mengde defeats him Lu Fengxian!" β
When Cao Cao and Cheng Yu analyzed the formation of Lu Bu's army in the formation, Lu Bu in the opposite army formation was also observing the movements of Cao's army. I saw that in Lu Bu's eyes, the Cao army array was full of flags, gongs and drums, and one phalanx after another was overwhelming at first glance. With such a formation, Lu Bu was speechless and speechless, it seems that Cao Cao is going out this time. β
However, Chen Gong, who rode side by side with Lu Bu, obviously didn't think so. Seeing him sneer, Fu Xu pointed to the Cao Jun array in front of him and pointed to Lu Bu and pointed out to the Dao lord that he was not going to be deceived by Cao A. Cao Jun's name for this formation is called the Xuanxiang Array, which is a kind of false formation to confuse the enemy. Lord, please see, Cao's army columns are spaced widely, banners are lined up, and drums are beating endlessly. It seems that there are many people, but in fact, it is just a simulation of the sound of military vehicles marching, and the sound of foot soldiers is noisy, pretending to be a huge number of troops. β
Lu Bu hurriedly studied on his own again and observed Cao Jun's military formation. After it was true that Chen Gong said, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and laughing. Everyone said that Cao Ah was treacherous, and today he finally understood it. β
After saying that, Lu Bu suddenly looked Lingran, and waved at the generals behind him to say Hou Cheng and Zhang Liao. β
"The last general!"
"You and others lead the left army to outflank the right flank of Cao's army."
"Whoa."
"Cheng Lian, Wei Xu."
"The last general!"
"You and others lead the left army to outflank the right flank of Cao's army."
After arranging the attacks on the left and right flanks, Lu Bu turned back and rushed to a majestic-looking black-armored general beside him, and the Chinese army will be handed over to you. β
"Trap the camp and get the order!" Gao Shun hugged his fists and led the way.
Chen Gong on the side saw that Lu Bu had slipped away for a long time, and it was all offensive, without considering the defense at all. So he hurriedly said to Lu Bu that the defense behind the ape arm array was relatively empty. It is best to arrange a good general to guard the rear army. β
Lu Bu originally wanted to say that to deal with Cao Cao's little soldiers, how could he be defended. But seeing that Chen Gong looked bitter, he was embarrassed to refuse. So Lu Bu had no choice but to turn around and instruct his generals, "Li Feng, Xue Lan'er and others take care of the rear army." β
"Whoa." Li Feng and Xue Lan, who were following behind Lu Bu, both clenched their fists and led the way.
At this time, Lu Bu saw that Chen Gong had no objection to the arrangement, so he suddenly pulled the reins and waved his halberd and shouted, "The generals obey the order!" Cao Cao's head will be taken today! β
"Whoa!"
With Lu Bu's order, the majestic drums of Lu Bu's army resounded in the sky, and thousands of horses galloped and arrows flew sideways on the battlefield! The two roads and states are paralleled, and the iron cavalry is like a dragon going out to sea and directly inserting into the two wings of Cao's army. However, the two flanks of the Cao army, which were originally neatly lined up, had no power to parry in the face of Lu Bu's army's stormy offensive, and they collapsed one after another.
However, at this time, Cao Cao, who was in the middle of Cao's army, did not show any panic because of the rapid rout of the two wings. I saw Cao Cao at this time, surrounded by Cheng Yu and his cousin Cao Chun, calmly observing the battle situation in front of him. Cheng Yu, who was on the side, reminded him, "The lord is almost there", Cao Cao suddenly waved his whip and shouted, "Order!" The whole army is in formation! β
Cao Cao's order, like a mage's spell, caused a drastic change in Cao's military formation. I saw that the Cao army's originally huge two-wing army formation was rapidly breaking down at a speed faster than when it was attacked, until it shrank into a conical military formation with solid forwards and sharp forwards on both wings. And those who are familiar with the art of war can see at a glance that this formation is a peony formation that is known for its aggressiveness!
It turned out that Cao Cao accepted Cheng Yu's construction from the very beginning, and used the elite of the whole army to form an array in front of the battle. In addition, the Qingzhou soldiers were organized into suspicious soldiers, and the two wings of the troops were deliberately put on the posture of the Xuanxiang array. The reason why Qingzhou soldiers were selected as suspicious soldiers was because Qingzhou soldiers were not as loyal as the Cao family's soldiers. Cao Cao could not have counted on these rabbles to help him defeat LΓΌ Bu. The second reason is that although the Qingzhou soldiers are not strong, they are very fast to escape. Cao Cao's arrangement of the Qingzhou soldiers as suspicious soldiers on both sides also meant that he expected them to lead the Lu Bu cavalry farther and farther.
Therefore, although Chen Gong saw that Cao Jun was using the Xuanxiang Array to trick the Xuanxiang, he didn't expect that the Xuanxiang Array still hid the real murderous Mu Array. At the beginning, Lu Bujun outflanked from both wings, naturally killing those suspicious soldiers to lose their armor, but they were also inadvertently led away from the Chinese army by Cao Cao's suspicious soldiers. When Cao Cao saw that the plan had succeeded, he immediately ordered a change in formation, that is, he abandoned the suspicious soldiers on both flanks and rushed straight to Lu Buzhong's army with the main force. As a result, Lu Bu formed a military advantage in a small area.
Of course, there were not many troops in the first place, and the Cao army knew very well that such a local advantage would not last long. Before LΓΌ Bu's cavalry on both flanks could return to the Chinese army, Cao's army had to break the Chinese army in front of him, which was personally commanded by LΓΌ Bu. Therefore, Cao Jun at this time was an assassin who ripped off his disguise and flew straight to stab Lu Bu!
"There was a formation! This is not Cheng Zhongde's handiwork. Chen Gong looked at Cao Jun who had changed his formation too quickly, and couldn't help but praise sincerely. However, admiration and admiration, Chen Gong did not get out of place because of Cao Jun's change of formation. I saw him turn around and say to Lu Bujin, "Don't worry, lord. Although the formation of the Cao army is exquisite, as long as our army holds the Chinese army, and waits until the outflanked cavalry of the two routes returns to the Chinese army, it can encircle and annihilate the Cao army in one fell swoop! β
Chen Gong's words are reasonable. But how can Lu Bu be a person who is willing to endure and stick to his temperament. No, seeing the Cao Jun rushing to kill, Lu Bu, who was already eager to try, immediately pulled the reins and ordered Gao Shun beside him, Gao Shun, the military division and the Chinese army will be handed over to you. Let Cao Cao take a look, he is the first rank of general in a million army! β
"Lord, by all means! The body of a daughter can't sit down, how can the lord risk his life! Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was going to personally lead his troops to kill Cao Cao, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
But Chen Gong and the scribes stopped the flying general Lu Bu again. I saw Lu Bu laughing and said, "The military advisor is here later, and Bu will go back when he goes!" Then he grabbed the horse's belly and lightly bypassed the Chen Palace, and under Gao Shun's fist-hugging gaze, he rode out with a cadre of personal guard cavalry.
Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu didn't listen to the words, so he insisted on fighting with Cao Jun, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet at Gao Shun and said that General Gao didn't hurry up to protect the lord! If there is a mistake in the body of the lord's daughter, how can it be good. β
Gao Shun couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chen Gong say this, and the military advisor was not in a hurry. The lord has a stunt, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs under Cao Cao will not be able to stop the lord's Fang Tian painting halberd. What's more, before leaving, the lord instructed Shun to take care of the military division and the Chinese army, how could Shun leave his post without permission. β
Seeing Gao Shun's attitude, polite but stubborn, knowing that it was Xiucai who met the soldiers, Chen Gong, who couldn't explain it clearly, had to close his mouth and cast his eyes on the battlefield. I saw that at this time, Lu Bu had already jumped into the Cao army formation with the Red Rabbit Treasure Horse in the lead. Although the arrows around them were flying, Lu Bu and Chitu, who could pass through it, were unscathed. Not only that, but wherever Lu Bu's halberd passed, a burst of blood mist could fly.
"Lu Fengxian is here! Who dares to fight me! Lu Bu, who had been killed, brandished a bloody halberd and roared to the sky.
"Grandpa Ru Cao Chun is here!" Cao picked up Cao Chun's long lance and slashed at Lu Bu, which was a blow to the top of Mount Tai.
And just as Lu Bu raised his halberd to block, a spear suddenly appeared from behind him. Fortunately, Lu Bu reacted quickly enough, and as soon as he moved his hand, he blocked the spear with a halberd rod.
But the sneak attacker laughed and laughed unashamedly, "Hide from your grandfather Xiahou's spear." β
"Then Grandpa Li Dian's lance can you stand it?" With a deep greeting, a long lance stabbed at Lu Bu's back. However, Lu Bu slid like a big fish, and caught the sneak attacker's long lance with his left hand.
The three consecutive dangerous attacks did not make Lu Bu flinch, on the contrary, the belligerent blood in his body was completely boiled. But I heard Lu Bu's wolf howl and opened the three weapons pressed on his body, and then laughed loudly Haha, it's interesting to fight like this! β
It is said that just as Lu Bu was fighting with Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian in the Chinese army, the two cavalry teams sent to outflank the two wings of Cao's army had also noticed what was happening behind him. But seeing that Zhang Liao, who outflanked the right flank of Cao Jun, took the lead in turning his horse and turned back to his colleague Hou Cheng, shouting that it was not good! We've been tricked! Look, Cao's army is besieging our army! β
When Hou Cheng heard Zhang Liao say this, he hurriedly turned his head and looked, and sure enough, he saw that the Cao army behind him had already surrounded his own Chinese army in the center. In a hurry, Hou Cheng immediately burst into foul language, saying that the heavenly thief Cao was killed! How dare you fool us! β
"Zidu, now is not the time to scold. Let's go back to the Chinese army to support the lord! Zhang Liao reminded in a deep voice.
But at this time, Hou Cheng suddenly frowned and asked, "Wen Yuan, did you hear that?" There seems to be a buzzing sound. β
"Zidu, it's time for this......" Zhang Liao was just about to turn his head and say that Hou Cheng didn't want to meet him, so a black shadow pounced. In desperation, he took a picture of the black shadow, and when he spread it out, it was a locust with wings. And just as Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng were looking at the locusts in their hands and were confused, they heard the cavalry around them suddenly shouting one after another.
"That's?!"
"Wow, it's a demon cloud! Demon Cloud! β
"It's over! Finish! Demon clouds! β
Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng both turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see that a black cloud had risen in the sky at some point. No, it should be more precise, the black wind that is surging rapidly from the sky and the sun. And the buzzing sound in Zhang Liaohou Cheng's ears obviously came from this. Faced with such a strange scene, Zhang Liao subconsciously looked down at the little worm in his hand again, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, Oh my God! That...... Is that locust! β
As if to confirm Zhang Liao's exclamation, more and more locusts began to fly to the battlefield. After a while, the work stopped all over the floor. More locusts pounced on the centaurs with a deafening buzzing sound. Zhang Liao, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly turned around and fled in the direction of the Chinese army with his men and horses. However, the Bingzhou horses that LΓΌ Bujun was proud of were obviously unable to outrun the winged locusts. Before Zhang Liao and the others arrived, the locusts in the sky had already swooped down on the two armies of Cao and Lu, who were fighting.
"Zhongde, here's what's going on." Cao Cao wielded his sword in a vain attempt to drive away the locusts that blocked his view.
And Cheng Yu on the side could only cover his face with his sleeves and reluctantly replied to the lord! It's a plague of locusts! If this continues, the whole army will be in chaos. Why don't you take advantage of the fact that Lu Bu's army has not yet completed the encirclement and order a breakthrough! β
In fact, Cheng Yu is far from the only one who is beating back in his heart at this moment. Chen Gong, who was in charge of Lu Bu's army, looked at the locust plague that fell from the sky, and he was also so shocked that his hands broke out in a cold sweat. What's more, at present, the lord Lu Bu is still fighting with General Cao. In case of a spread, everything you have done before will be in vain. So Chen Gong secretly annoyed in his heart that the lord was too martial and brave, and at the same time, he hurriedly shouted to Gao Shun that Mingjing should withdraw his troops! General Gao, go and cover the lord's return to the main formation! β
"Whoa!" This time, Gao Shun did not dare to disobey Chen Gong's orders again. I saw that he directly waved his horsewhip and led a group of personal soldiers to face the locusts in the sky and galloped towards the direction of Lu Bu's battle.
At the same time, in the face of the locust plague in front of him, the two armies of Cao Lu also sounded the golden gong at the same time!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After thinking about it for a long time, let's give Lu Bu the Red Rabbit Horse, Fang Tian's Halberd, and Diao Chan. I always feel that without these three kinds of Lu Bu, it is not Lu Bu. P, the plot needs to be a little earlier than the locust plague, please understand.
