Chapter 146: Lu Bu's martial arts, unfathomable
Xuzhou army is terrible? In Xu Chu's opinion, it is a joke, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is flowing through Yanzhou, how rampant it is, but it is for Cao Cao to lead the army to defeat with a devastating attitude, and there are enemies that Cao Cao cannot defeat?
"The rest of the generals, prepare for battle." Cao Cao said.
The crowd shouted in unison.
The fighting spirit of the generals in the army is high, and it is not known what kind of thoughts they have in their hearts.
Liu Dai and Lu Bu suffered a lot of losses, Cao Cao was not like this, when he was chasing Dong Zhuo in the past, he intercepted Lu Bu, Li Dian captured Lu Bu, Le Jin killed Lu Bu, and on the battlefield of Yanzhou, Xiahou Yuan killed Lu Bu.
There is a deep hatred between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, but when it comes to Lu Bu's martial arts, Cao Cao has to admire.
&; Generals in the army will inevitably die on the battlefield, this is their fate, when they choose to become a general, they must have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield.
"General Xu, if you see Lu Bu, you should put your heart first." Xiahoudun reminded in a low voice.
Xu Chu's face showed a solemn expression: "Lu Bu is so terrible? ”
Xu Chu still agrees with Xiahoudun's knife skills, and the two often learn from each other in the army.
"Lu Bu's martial arts are unfathomable." Xiahou said.
Xu Chu said: "After seeing Lu Bu, you and I will step forward together, why can't you kill Lu Bu." ”
Xiahoudun nodded, Xu Chu has such confidence, it is naturally good, in Xiahoudun's opinion, if the two of them shoot together, they will be able to fight Lu Bu.
Going to Yanzhou, Cao Cao got a lot of fierce generals to help, Xiahou was overjoyed, otherwise just facing the situation in front of him would be enough to make Cao Cao pay a heavy price.
Following Cao Cao step by step to his current position, Xiahoudun hoped that Cao Cao could do more and not lose it after acquiring Yanzhou.
The vanguard army is the most elite place of an army, and it is learned that the vanguard of the Xuzhou army is Gao Shun, Xiahou has a headache, Gao Shun's strength has been fully proved on the battlefield of Yanzhou, although it is a foot soldier, but it has the strength to resist the cavalry attack, and any team does not dare to despise it when it sees the camp.
Fortunately, there were only 800 people in the trapped camp, and the Cao army that followed the battle had 5,000 elites, of which 3,000 were said to be the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that had not been incorporated for a long time, and the combat effectiveness displayed during the battle was extremely terrifying.
Gaoping, belonging to Shanyang County, is only more than ten miles away from Renchengguo, when Gao Shun led 3,000 troops to Gaoping, Xiahoudun and Xu Chu have led 5,000 elites into Gaoping.
An army of 3,000 was stationed ten miles southeast of Gaoping.
After the arrival of the army, Gao Shun immediately sent out the cavalry, and 500 cavalrymen, distributed near Gaoping, were responsible for finding out news for the army.
The cavalry is used to probe the situation on the battlefield, it is the most appropriate, with the speed of the cavalry, in case of emergencies, it can be completely able to deal with it, so as not to say that it is difficult to send the news back, and the elite of the cavalry of the Xuzhou army has long been famous all over the world.
There are very few teams that dare to compete with the Xuzhou cavalry on the battlefield, at least on the battlefield of Yanzhou, the Xuzhou cavalry is invincible.
Looking at the cavalry team outside the city, Xu Chu was dissatisfied: "The Xuzhou cavalry is so rampant, dare to inquire about our army outside the city, and the general will lead the cavalry to exterminate it." ”
Xiahoudun nodded, did not refuse, if the Xuzhou cavalry was allowed to be outside the city, it would not affect the morale of the army, and these cavalry were clearly here to investigate the situation in Gaoping.
The city gate was wide open, and Xu Chu led the only 100 cavalry in the city to kill.
Seeing this, the Xuzhou cavalry directly chose to retreat, they came to inquire about the news, not to have a desperate confrontation with the Cao army.
In the process of pursuit, the cavalry of the Cao army encountered no trouble, but saw that the Xuzhou cavalry kept putting up their bows and arrows in the process of retreating, and poured arrows into the pursuers in the rear.
Xu Chu was furious, but the cavalry of the Cao army had a certain gap in speed compared with the Xuzhou cavalry, and the attainments of the Xuzhou cavalry in riding skills were not comparable to the cavalry of the Cao army, and after a while, three cavalrymen fell off their horses.
"Shameless!" Xu Chu was furious, rode his horse and rushed forward, and the arrows that attacked were all shot down by Xu Chu.
Seeing that Xu Chu was so brave, the Xuzhou cavalry rode away, not in love with war, but on the way to retreat, they attacked Xu Chu, who was faster, with bows and arrows.
Xu Chu burst into tears, but there was no better way, if he pursued the Xuzhou cavalry too far, he might be ambushed by the Xuzhou army.
Successively led the cavalry to gallop outside the city, the performance of the Xuzhou cavalry was very similar, their first reaction when they saw the arrival of the Cao cavalry was not to step forward, but to retreat, as long as the Cao army pursued, they would perform archery on horseback.
In the city, after Xiahoudun saw this scene, his face was solemn, it was extremely difficult for the Xuzhou cavalry to do this step without the command of the general.
Xu Chu's efforts still have a certain reward, at least the Xuzhou cavalry did not dare to approach the city easily.
"These cavalrymen are too cunning." Xu Chu said angrily.
Xiahoudun smiled and said: "General Xu is brave, they are naturally afraid. ”
"Only three Xuzhou soldiers were shot, but our army paid the price of seven." Xu Chu said.
Xiahoudun said: "Among our army, there are also elite cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry trained by General Cao Chun, and the Xuzhou cavalry will definitely be no problem." ”
Xu Chu nodded, there were only five hundred tigers and leopards on horseback, and the training was extremely strict, which played a great role in Cao Cao's pacification of the Yellow Turbans of Dongjun and Qingzhou, and Xu Chu was deeply touched by the destructive power of this cavalry on the battlefield.
The cavalry was invincible across the field, but it was difficult for any general in the army to resist the temptation to lead the cavalry into battle.
Gao Shun didn't pay too much attention to the matter of Cao Jun sending cavalry out of the city to drive away the scouts, and he didn't have to worry too much about the cavalry's news, he just needed to give orders.
No matter what kind of performance the Xuzhou cavalry has on the battlefield, passing the news back in time is to complete the task, and Gao Shun has no doubts about the combat effectiveness of these cavalry.
Although the cavalry does not have large-scale equipment with a hundred refining blades, even the generals of the rank and above have a hundred refining blades, so that the destructive power of the cavalry team is even stronger.
"General, stationed in Gaoping is Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun, and there is also a general named Xu Chu."
Gao Shun nodded and said, "Fast Horse will inform Wen Hou of the news." ”
"General Gao, although there are thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, the strength of our army is not weak, why don't you go outside the city and teach Cao's army a lesson." Adjutant said.
