Chapter 48: Luring the Enemy Deeper
Lu Bu looked at the red embroidered shoe, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and almost fell off his horse.
Nowadays, most of the women's shoes are embroidered by themselves, even if the patterns are similar, the embroiderers are not the same, how can Lu Bu not know that this is his daughter's embroidered shoes?
He immediately flashed a thought that something had happened to his family, so he asked in a deep voice, "Who sent this?" Where are people now? β
"The small one is the scout on the west road, only to find that there is a large group of people and horses, and they are about to come back to report to the lord, but they found that they were arrested, and they were not embarrassed for the small one, and gave the small one this embroidered shoe, saying that they wanted to give it to the lord, so they let the small one go."
"Who are they? How many people are there? Lu Bu asked anxiously.
He handed over his family to Zhang Liao to escort him to Puyang, thinking that it was foolproof, after all, there are not many generals in the world who can defeat Zhang Liao, and the boundary of Yanzhou is so empty, what he didn't expect is that now not only has something happen to his family, but also a large team of people has emerged, how can he not be in a hurry?
"Back to the lord, the little one only saw the word 'Xiahou' embroidered on the flag, as for the number of people, looking at the scale of the camp, there are more than 10,000 people."
"Xiahou?" Lu Bu was shocked, could it be that Xiahoudun is here?
He had already received the news that Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition had taken away most of the fierce generals, and among the generals left behind in Yanzhou, the only ones he could see were Cao Chun in the city in front of him and Xiahou Dun who was stationed in Juancheng.
Xiahoudun and Xun Yu guarded the three northern cities, after all, they had to guard against Yuan Shao, and all the soldiers and horses under them were not all withdrawn, and the three cities should be able to make up more than 10,000 men, and Xiahoudun's force should be above Zhang Liao.
If Xiahou heard that Yanzhou was in danger, he poured out of the nest and captured Puyang, and it would not be difficult to copy his family.
"Damn, this Xiahou Dun actually did this, bullying a few weak women," Lu Bu clenched the spear tightly, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and shouted loudly: "Order, stop the siege, and follow me to kill that Xiahou beast first." β
"What? Lord, the destruction of the city is imminent, and it can't be stopped. The leader of the army next to him hurriedly grabbed the reins of Lu Bu's horse and persuaded bitterly: "We have already killed and wounded thousands of people in order to capture Yanzhou, if we stop the attack at this time, won't we give up all our efforts?" β
Seeing that there were more and more soldiers attacking the city, it would only take two or three hours for Yanzhou City to be completely broken.
Of course, after the city is broken, it will take half a day or a day to strangle the remnants of Cao Bing.
However, the moment Lu Bu saw his daughter's embroidered shoes, he couldn't wait for a moment, although he had the courage of a tiger, but he had no heroic strategy, he was cunning and repeated, mercenary, and had the kindness of a woman.
He can be a good husband and father, but he is by no means a good lord, because in his heart, his daughter's wife and concubine are far more important than the capture of Yanzhou City, which cannot be said to be his fault, but his role is misplaced.
"Stop-stop-siege!" Lu Bu squeezed out four words from between his teeth, slowly raised the spear in his hand, and looked at the leader of the army coldly.
As long as he heard that the leader dared to say more, he would not hesitate to shoot him.
If he hadn't heard that there were more than 10,000 people on the other side, he would only have to lead the light cavalry to save people, and he wouldn't have to withdraw everyone.
The leader shuddered with fright, and quickly responded: "No! β
Immediately a gong sounded over the camp, which was the signal for the withdrawal of troops.
The army retreated like a tide, and the bitterness was that the one hundred and ten soldiers who had finally reached the head of the city did not have time to climb down the ladder again, so they could only fight and die on the city wall.
In less than a stick of incense, the army had gathered around Lu Bu, and the original 20,000 horses were now only more than 13,000 people.
"Follow me to kill Xiahoudun!"
Lu Bu roared and led the remaining military horses, led by the scout, to kill the "Xiahoudun" department.
They had already entered the mountains twenty miles west, but the hills near them were not steep, and the roads in the valley were smooth and did not interfere with the march.
After more than ten miles of progress, I saw a huge camp in front of me from a distance, the scale was enough to accommodate 10,000 people, and it was strange that there was not even a guard at the entrance of the camp.
But there was a terrible scream of a woman in the wind.
Lu Bu was so anxious when he heard this, he didn't care about the infantry behind him, and urged the Chitu BMW to kill him.
When entering the gate, he suddenly felt that the horse's hooves were tripped over something, and then he heard the sound of the machine, and dozens of feathered arrows shot out from both sides.
Lu Bu secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly waved his spear and picked up several feather arrows that attacked.
Although the arrow did not hit him personally, it did hit several of the red rabbit horses, but fortunately they did not hit the fatal spot.
At this time, the infantry behind him also arrived, and successfully entered the camp, only to find that the entire camp was empty.
Lu Bu led people into the middle of the Chinese military tent, which was also empty, only another embroidered shoe was thrown on the ground in the middle......
"Damn!" Lu Bu was anxious and angry, he heard the woman's screams just now, and he thought that his wife and daughter's reputation had been damaged at this time.
He also shouted before, after breaking the city, he snatched Cao Cao's daughter and rewarded the hero who killed Cao Ang, but he didn't expect his daughter's wife and concubine to be robbed first, which is a great irony.
Lu Bu clutched his daughter's embroidered shoes tightly, and gritted his teeth and roared: "Xiahoudun, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
Follow me! β
They walked through the camp and saw that there was indeed a group of soldiers running away in front of them.
There were about twenty or so lancers in this group of sergeants, several of which seemed to be lying on their stomachs, and the woman on one of them was conspicuous in red.
Lu Bu scratched his heart with a hundred claws, immediately stepped on the already injured Red Rabbit, and led his troops to chase after him.
Suddenly, the group of sergeants in front separated to the left and right, more than 20 lancers fled to the left, and the rest of the infantry fled to the right, and it turned out that the front was a fork in the road.
Lu Bu pointed a gun at the fleeing infantry on the right and ordered: "You chase here, and I will chase the cavalry alone." β
Since it is necessary to pursue, it is natural that the infantry will chase the infantry, and the cavalry will chase the cavalry.
Their original goal was to capture Yanzhou City, so there were no cavalry, only a horse under his crotch.
He saw that the twenty horsemen holding his wife and daughter were all served by ordinary lancers, and there were no generals, so even if he went to chase him alone, what was he afraid of?
However, what made him anxious was that the red rabbit horse under his crotch was already injured, and the speed was the same as that of an ordinary war horse, and he chased for a while and did not close the distance with the lancers.
"Slow down a little, don't let him get lost," Liu Ping galloped on Dawan's horse, and in front of him was the daughter of Lu Bu, who was tied into zongzi.
In order to understand the siege of Yanzhou and bring back LΓΌ Bu's army from the siege front, he took great pains.
His 1,000 army horses are obviously not opponents of the rebels, and even the rebels will not take them in their eyes at all, even if they attack secretly, they can't win, so they can only use Xiahoudun's name to bluff, so that Lu Bu has to pay attention to it.
Of course, his only chance to win is to capture the thief leader Lu Bu.
As long as the rebel commander is caught, the remaining more than 10,000 people are from different gentry families, and without the backbone, they will become a plate of scattered sand, and there is nothing to fear.
So he took great pains to choose such a terrain route to separate Lu Bu from his army.
"Don't worry, don't lose it," Tai Shici said with a smile: "Let's see how I catch that thief in a while."
Huh? Lao Zhang, if I fight with Lu Bu in a while, will you help? β
Zhang Liao was very conflicted when he rode on the horse, although Lu Bu did not treat him well, but after all, he voted for the new lord and sacrificed the city, resulting in all his family members being captured.
In order to serve the new lord and kill the old master, only people like Lu Bu often do it, but he Zhang Liao can't do it, Zhang Liao still has a trace of guilt in his heart at this time.
"We'll see," he said, grimacing.
While talking, they actually ran out of the mountain, and it turned out that the road turned around and returned to the city of Yanzhou.
At this time, Cao Ang and Cao Chun Lejin were sitting on the city wall, panting heavily, and all three of them were injured.
They never dreamed that the rebels had already made it to the top of the city, and when they saw that Yanzhou City was about to be lost, the rebels suddenly retreated and disappeared without a trace.
This is also too incredible, the rebels have been attacking the city for so long, with so many dead and wounded, isn't it just to capture the city?
But the city at their fingertips was gone, and they couldn't figure out what was going on even if they wanted to.
Suddenly, there was a panicked report from the soldiers next to him: "Eldest prince, look, isn't that Lu Bu back again?" β
The three of them hurriedly leaned on the battlement to watch, didn't they?
Although he couldn't see his face clearly in the distance, he could see that it was a general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor.
At that time, Lu Bu was wearing such a pair of armor under the city.
However, there seemed to be twenty more lancers in black helmets and armor in front of him.
Cao Ang and the others knew that the soldiers led by Lu Bu were dressed in a variety of clothes, so they judged that the neatly armored lancers must be Yanzhou soldiers who appeared out of nowhere.
Immediately afterwards, it was discovered that the lancer had actually fought with Lu Bu.
"Hey, where are the rebels led by Lu Bu?" Lejin was puzzled.
"No matter where you go, if you're not by his side anyway, this is a good opportunity to capture and kill Lu Bu," Cao Angxi said: "When I lead the cavalry to kill him, join forces with the twenty cavalry, and kill this thief together." β
He saw that there was a fight in front of him, which meant that those lancers did not participate in the rebellion, and Lu Bu had no soldiers around him, so he only needed to lead a few hundred cavalry to rush out to help, and he could easily capture and kill the leader of the rebel army.
"Ang'er," Cao Chun stopped coldly: "Today's events are too weird, who knows what conspiracy is here?" Don't go out of town easily. β
Cao Ang was anxious: "Uncle, if I don't help, how can the twenty lancers be Lu Bu's opponents?" β
"Is the twenty lancers more important or Yanzhou City?" Cao Chun said categorically: "Let's take a look first." β
