Chapter 224: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows

Ma Mingfeng is Xiao Xiao, and everyone's heads are hanging pig knives.

If Lu Bu was still in high spirits before the expedition, then when he planned to return to Dingtao, he felt that everything seemed to have changed.

He is no longer a high-ranking former general, and his troops are no longer the once famous Xiliang horses, they seem to have become a group of pigs in Cao Cao's eyes, and the pig-killing knife is tightly held in Cao Cao's hands.

Although he had just moved back a game in front of the outskirts of Dingtao, he knew that there was still a big battle under Dingtao City, and the victory or defeat of this battle would directly determine whether he could make a comeback, and it might also determine his life and death.

Life is at stake, success or failure is here!

There is no way to retreat from this battle, and this battle must fight for a future!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu regained the pride of the year, raised his head and looked at Dingtao County, a few miles away, his eyes were blazing, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was raised, and he galloped towards Dingtao.

"Woooooo

As soon as he turned the hill, he heard a sudden sound of a cannon horn, and a group of people and horses came out of the avenue in front of him, all dressed in black and black armor, with a cold expression, Yue Zhiyuan. The sharp ring-headed knife, the phoenix-beak knife with a long palm, and the arc-shaped shield and square shield in his hand converged into a terrifying iron-clad Great Wall on the avenue ahead.

The first member of the general sat on the horse, with a three-pointed and two-edged hand in his hand, and his face was clear, it was Cao Cao's general who was forbidden to Wen Ze.

Seeing Lu Bu and the others walking out of the hillock, Yu Ban raised his hand, the sword and shield soldiers in front of him squatted down, and the crossbowmen in the back row shouted in unison, bending their bows and arrows, embracing the full moon, the dark cold light flashed, and thousands of sharp arrows flew into the sky like thunder and locusts, falling like a shower in Lu Bu's army, boundless, covering the clouds and the sun.

Instead of waiting for the forbidden order, all the soldiers inserted their bows and crossbows diagonally into their waists, retook the broadswords and shields on their backs, and re-formed a sword and shield array with the soldiers in front of them.

"The sons and daughters of Qingzhou, the sword is the king of attack, the shield is a heavy weapon for defense, the combination of sword and shield, the world is invincible! Kill! The three-pointed and two-edged blades in Yu Ban's hand lifted up and smashed down.

"The combination of swords and shields is invincible in the world! Kill! ”

Thousands of soldiers raised their swords and shields in unison, and the high-pitched roar made the sky above Dingtao change color. Five thousand warriors rolled forward in torrents, the phoenix mouth knife and ring head knife in their hands were shining with cold light, and the arc shield and square shield were as heavy as Mount Tai.

It's closer, it's getting closer.

Lu Bu's army had just struggled to crawl out of the rain of arrows, but found that the dark Great Wall in front of them was speeding towards them. The dark iron armor and the bright silver long knife all turned into a life-seeking Yama in his eyes, shining with cold light and murderous awe.

"Since the establishment of the army, I have repeatedly fought in the world, attracting worldwide attention. It has also won us the reputation of 'Xiliang Malaysia, rampant in the world', but now we are more lying on the past merits to sleep, so that the world has forgotten our former glory.

However, today we want to tell the world that the blood of Xiliang Malaysia has already penetrated into our bone marrow. Are you all ready, boys? Xiliang Horse, rampant in the world, there is death and no life, and I am invincible! Lu Bu also let out a long roar, stabbing the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand towards the sky.

"Xiliang Dama, rampant in the world!"

"There is death and no life, and I am invincible!"

The men in Lu Bu's army roared angrily in the wind one by one, their arms beating their chests angrily, smashing with a bang, and waving their sharp blades to force the other party at a flying pace.

The road of the strong, the brave are fearless.

They are the Xiliang Army, they are the Qingzhou soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers who have been famous in the world for a long time. This battle has nothing to do with them or for them, it has nothing to do with winning or losing, it has nothing to do with life or death, it is only about their honor.

One is a veteran powerhouse that has long been famous all over the world, and the other is a new elite soldier who has just stood out from Qingzhou. Their meeting doomed one side to victory and the other to defeat, and their meeting was also noteworthy

They were destined to be accompanied only by blood and death.

"Bang!"

The two teams finally collided together, like two rivers converging in the Yellow River, crashing into the monstrous waves.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Countless broadswords, spears, axes, and swords intertwined in the air, and the sound of Jin Ge continued to rise and fall.

Then, the cold blades and the murderous aura pierced into the opponent's body in rows and columns, and the sore teeth of the soldiers, the neighing of the war horses, and the temporary screams of the warriors filled the road.

The hunting flag floated in the air, and the cold wind carried the bloody knife.

The two torrents fought each other on the avenue a few miles away under the nose of the Emperor of the Restoration, and the red blood bloomed one after another poignant and tragic flowers on the land of the Central Plains.

……

Emperor Restoration, accompanied by Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, stood on the Dingtao city wall.

Below the city were 10,000 Cao troops ready to attack, and miles away was the smoke of gunpowder. Emperor Xinxin stroked the arrow marks left on the city wall yesterday and frowned: "Gongtai, Meng Zhuo, you are both people who know the soldiers, in your opinion, the dust and smoke in the distance is my imperial army?" ”

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said: "Cao Renbu, the Cao thief army, and the forbidden department besieged Dingtao the day before yesterday, and we haven't sent a signal for help, and the Cao thief has made people light wolf smoke along the way, luring the Puyang army to come to the rescue, and there must be a treacherous plan."

A few days ago, I received a report from General Lu that they had gone down to Puyang and were marching into Juancheng, intending to complete their efforts and drive all the forces of Cao thieves out of Puyang. So, if I'm a thief, since I've sent a fake signal for help, then there's only one possibility! ”

"What is possible?"

"Encircle the point and send reinforcements, consume the vitality of our army!" Chen Gong arched his hand towards the new emperor, and then said, "Your Majesty's current battle is nothing more than the two princes and the generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Meng Zhuo and Wang Kai. If the generals fail, Your Majesty's wings will be gone, and Your Majesty will also fall into the hands of Cao thieves! ”

"You're saying their target is the Puyang Army? So it's our reinforcements under the city? Emperor Xinxin looked at Chen Gong hesitantly, with a look of horror on his face.

Chen Gong looked at the battlefield under the hill and nodded solemnly: "According to Fengxian's foot strength, they should have arrived a long time ago." But if you encounter an ambush along the way, this time may be just right! ”

As soon as the words fell, Dong Cheng on the side had already leaned in front of Emperor Weixin: "Your Majesty, Chen Gongtai's words are certainly somewhat reasonable, but they are all speculation after all. That dust and smoke may be General Lu, but it may also be Cao Thief's soldiers and horses! Please think again, Your Majesty!

Moreover, General LΓΌ's halberd method is invincible in the world, even if he is surrounded by a ban and Cao Cao is in person, he may not be able to stop General LΓΌ. On the contrary, if the dust and smoke place is just a suspicious formation, once our army leaves the city, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

What the hell, when has this been, and you can't forget the struggle for power?

Chen Gong snorted secretly, and suddenly found a trace of horror on Zhang Miao's face on the side, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Miao's fingers, only to see that in the distance where the dust and smoke were filled, a black military horse flew out again, rolling into the dust and smoke like a long dragon.

Chen Gong was suddenly furious, and pointed at Dong Chenghe and Fu Wan and scolded: "What the hell, the imperial court was destroyed by your group of smoky miasma!" Your Majesty, please send troops quickly, otherwise the reinforcements are in danger, and Dingtao City is also in danger! ”

Dong Cheng was still about to speak, but Emperor Xinxin turned his head and glared fiercely: "If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will be attached?" If the reinforcements come in the future, or if the reinforcements are wiped out, I will only wait for death here. If this is Cao Thief's plan, I will just go to see my father in advance!

Sima Qian, the former imperial historian, said: People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, and they tend to be different. I am the co-lord of this world

, but now they are all dead horizontally and vertically, how can they choose this kind of death of Hongmao who disregards the safety of the soldiers? ”

Dong Chenghe, who said a few words, had red faces and red ears, but Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others were grateful and their morale was greatly boosted, and Emperor Weixin flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Meng Zhuo, Wang Kai, I ordered you two to lead the athletes under your command out of the city camp to rescue the army, and you will die for a lifetime, do you dare?" ”

"The ministers are willing to make a military order, the reinforcements will not return, and the ministers will not return!" Zhang Miao and Wang Kai got up with their fists and resolutely stepped down the city wall.

Emperor Wei Xindi looked at the backs of the two of them, untied the dragon robe on his body and threw it to reveal a military uniform, took the drumstick in the soldier's hand, and shouted solemnly: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being my big man, I personally beat the drum and wait for you to do a great deed!" ”

The green felt tent is not wet with high snow, and the drumming is urgent.

There was no green felt, no snow, but there were more and more urgent general orders in the city. The young man riveted his strength and struck a pair of drumsticks on the war drums, and the sound of "dong dong dong" drums was like earth-shattering thunder flying on the city.

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!

Zhang Miao and Wang Kai rode on horses, listening to the mournful drums and horns on the city, but they felt that the blood went straight to their heads, their eyes were full of tears, and they also took care of wiping one or two, and the long sword in their hands waved violently, and the city gate suspension bridge fell, and eight thousand soldiers rushed out like a Hukou waterfall on the Yellow River.

……

Zhang Miao and Wang Kai rushed into Cao Ren's camp, but Lu Bu was still fighting under the hillock.

He didn't know how many times he had killed, or even how many people he had killed, he only knew that his armor had been stained with a thick layer of blood since last night, some of his opponents, some of his robes, and some of his own.

He rode out of the encirclement, rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, shook his arms, looked at Cao Cao, Lu Qian, Cao Xiu and Yu Ban who were eyeing him from afar, and looked at Li Ru and Wei Yue and others in the encirclement, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was raised high again and rushed in.

……

"Fuyi, aren't we going to do it yet?"

On the hill two miles away, Lei Bo, Le Zhuo, Yu She, Li Feng and other generals leaned in the bushes and stared closely at the battlefield in front of them, and everyone's eyes were eager.

Ji Ling shook his head: "Didn't Mr. Yuan say that the big one is injured, and the small one dies, if you stab it from the injury, you will have the name of the Double Tiger in one fell swoop." Now that Lu Bu's army is exhausted, he still has seven or eight thousand athletes, and he still has the strength to fight.

And Cao Jun and Lu Bu's army were ambushed several times, and there were also more than 10,000 people, and the foundation was still there. This battle is not about winning or losing, but just to kill Cao Cao and Lu Bu's new forces. No hurry, let's wait! ”

Everyone nodded, and sighed in unison: This guy is really worthy of being the number one fierce general in the world, from last night's fight to the present, he has killed more than a dozen famous generals of Cao Ying, including Cai Yang, but now he is still alive and well.

The sun gradually moved from east to west, and after waiting for about another hour, I saw a mess under the hill, corpses piled up, blood drifting into a river, and the dignified Jiuyuan Tiger Lu Bu was no longer as brave as before.

Ji Ling suddenly burst out of the bushes, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand "February with Yinfeng" stabbed forward suddenly, and tens of thousands of troops behind him were like fierce tigers, shouting in unison, waving the soldiers in his hands and pouring down from the hills, and the arrows were also inserted into the two armies' formations.

However, what Ji Ling didn't know was that a little farther away from them, there was still a large army in the grass. However, they are more ruthless than them, and they are more forbearant than them.

No matter what kind of wind and rain Lu Bu or Cao Cao, or Ji Ling, they set off on the battlefield, this army is still quietly lying in the grass, watching the front like wolves, with a trace of cruelty and indifference in their blue eyes.
