Chapter 4: Cao Cao's Calculations
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and the 700 soldiers of the trapped camp were resisting the fierce onslaught of the 3,000 cavalry led by the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang.
Although Lu Bu's side was small in numbers, and the enemy was still an invincible cavalry in the Cold Weapon Era, Lu Bu's bravery, coupled with the trapped camp soldiers commanded by Gao Shun, all cooperated well, and exerted strong combat effectiveness, which was not weaker than the fierce enemy at all.
However, despite this, Lu Bu's side would not fight with the three thousand cavalry to the end, and under the leadership of Lu Bu and Gao Shun, the seven hundred soldiers of the camp headed towards the big ships at the ferry while resisting the enemy.
Because, everyone knows that the 3,000 cavalry led by the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang is just the vanguard of the enemy, and there must be many fierce enemies behind who are rushing at great speed, wanting to leave all the people on Lu Bu's side on the land of Xuzhou and dye them red!
......Sure enough, in the place where everyone could not see, they saw dust and dead leaves flying all over the avenue thirty miles away, accompanied by bursts of deafening sounds, as if they were the prelude to an earthquake.
Obviously, I don't know how many enemies are rushing towards the mountain?!
Through the dust and dead leaves flying in the sky, I saw that thousands of menacing infantry soldiers were rushing at great speed in the middle of the avenue!
These infantry soldiers, all dressed in white bird feathers, armor, helmets are full of white bird feathers, and even the tip of the spear in their hands is tied with a large poke of white bird feathers, this unique outfit, just like a birdman!
However, these birdman warriors may have experienced many wars and have already killed a lot of people, and the big white bird feathers turned into red tassels, the color is blood red, and it is unusually bright and dazzling!
These infantry soldiers are the most elite Bai Yu elite soldiers under Liu Bei, and the leader of the troops is a young man, a brave and resourceful, and quite familiar with the way of training, no worse than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
This person is Chen to Chen Shuzhi, who is famous in the Shu Han camp in later generations and has a status that is not inferior to Guan and Zhang, and is very trusted by Liu Bei, even Zhao Yun, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty who is strong in martial arts and very popular in later generations, is far weaker than him in Shu Han!
"Hurry up! Whoever dares to fall behind will be dealt with by military law! Chen Zhi yelled majestically at the Bai Yu elite soldiers led by himself, and then took the lead towards the foot of Qu Mountain.
"Boom ......Boom" Bai Yu's elite soldiers, who were originally tired from the long time of rushing and their speed was gradually slowing down, suddenly heard Chen Zhi's roar, and they suddenly trembled when they thought of what kind of severe punishment, and then gritted their teeth, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and their speed couldn't help but become much faster again.
In addition to the elite soldiers led by Chen Zhi, there was also an army behind them that was chasing and killing Lu Bu and them.
It's just that this army, which is composed entirely of cavalry, is advancing extremely slowly, anyway, it is slower than the infantry soldiers led by Chen Zhi!
Except for the momentum that inadvertently exuded was more terrifying, it didn't look like they were chasing Lu Bu and them at all, as if they were lazily going out for an outing on a sunny day.
This cavalry is the most elite cavalry unit under Cao Cao, which was famous in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and commanded by Cao Cao!
In the middle of the tiger and leopard ride, there are two people in the middle who are protected by the stars holding the moon at this time, and the two of them are also wearing heavy armor and riding vigorous war horses like tiger and leopard warriors!
Of these two people, one of them was a middle-aged man with a short and fat stature and an extremely ordinary appearance, but his scorched face was full of the majesty of the superior, which made people dare not look at him directly, let alone disobey him.
The other was a thin young man, with a sickly pale face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and full of wisdom.
These two people are the well-known existence in the Cao Jun camp, the middle-aged man is the master of the Cao Jun camp and a generation of heroes Cao Cao Mengde, and the thin young man is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, who is known as a ghost talent!
The two rode side by side, talking and laughing while slowly driving the war horse forward, looking relaxed and complacent.
If the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and Chen Zhi, who led the elite soldiers of Bai Yu, knew about this situation, they would have to be angry to death.
"Sikong, should we speed up the march? I heard that Lu Bu had already asked his father-in-law to collect hundreds of big ships to go to sea, and they would have to escape by sea if they were too late! I don't know if Uncle Liu Huang is Lu Bu's opponent? At this moment, a general who was leading the tiger and leopard cavalry forward at the forefront came on horseback, interrupting Cao Cao and Guo Jia's conversation and laughter.
This general is Cao Chun, the supreme commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and an indispensable existence among the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan under Cao Cao's account.
The conversation with Guo Jia was abruptly interrupted, which made Cao Cao frown, but seeing that the person who interrupted was Cao Chun, the cavalry general he valued the most, Cao Cao's brow slowly returned to its original state.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Chun, didn't speak for a while, just smiled at him mysteriously, and then looked at Guo Jia on the side, meaning to ask Guo Jia to explain the reason to Cao Chun.
With Guo Jia's IQ, he naturally knew what Cao Cao wanted to express at once.
"Hahaha...... Zihe doesn't have to be in a hurry! Lu Bu, who lost Xuzhou, is already a down-and-out tiger, and there is nothing to worry about for our Cao Jun. However, even so, but after all, the tiger is still the fierce tiger, if we force him too tightly, so that he leads the rest of the soldiers to fight to the death with us who are not afraid of death, relying on the strategy of Chen Gong under his command, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba and others, plus he himself also has the world's unparalleled martial arts, it will still make us suffer heavy losses, for a tiger that has fallen down, this is not worth it. After all, our number one enemy now is Yuan Shao in the north! Speaking of this, Guo Jia, who was originally gushing about Cao Chun's questions, paused before explaining again: "What's more, Uncle Liu Huang is still fierce now, let him fight with that tiger well!" ”
As he spoke, Guo Jia's originally bright and wise eyes were instantly filled with a cold color, even if the scorching sun was in the sky now, Cao Chun couldn't help but tremble when he saw it, and the cold was overwhelming.
"Hey!" After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao immediately let out a sneer, obviously, he also wanted Liu Bei to lead the army to lose his troops and lose his troops after a fight, and the best result was to lose both.
Although Liu Bei is now attached to Cao Cao's command, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and other strategists who are suspicious by nature always think that Liu Bei is still ambitious and are not willing to become Cao Cao's subordinates.
If Liu Bei's remaining troops were lost in the battle against Lu Bu's army, Liu Bei, who had no capital, would have to surrender to Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's fame could increase Cao Cao's capital to dominate the world.
The most important thing is that if Liu Bei really surrenders, Cao Cao will be able to get the general he wants most - Guan Yu!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked ahead, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the space to see the place where Lu Bu's army and Liu Bei's army were fighting, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
"Zihe, the speed of the Haw Par Riding Army should be a little faster!" Cao Cao instructed Cao Chun.
"No!" Cao Chun, who had already come to his senses, responded respectfully to Cao Cao, and then rode his war horse to the front of the army to lead the army.
Under the leadership of Cao Chun, although the speed of the tiger and leopard riding army is faster, it is not much faster, after all, they still have to wait for Lu Bu's army and Liu Bei's army to be defeated and injured before they can wait for the opportunity to move!
