Chapter 124: If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die
Lu Bu camp, built next to the water, lined up along the river bank, stretching for more than ten miles, the banners of each department are swept with the wind, countless arrow towers stand among them, each has elite archers to climb on it, concentrate on vigilance, pillow and wait, make people look forward to life, dare not approach easily.
Suddenly, a loud trumpet sounded from a high tower, floating in the long camp of the Lu Bu army. Then the trumpets of the towers were heard one by one, one after another, stimulating the eardrums of every soldier.
The atmosphere was tense and hot for a while, and everyone knew what such a fierce horn warning meant, and even newcomers who had not been in the army long could hear a trace of unusual flavor from the sharp sound of the horn.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered from all directions, formed a phalanx by small teams, formed a large formation from the phalanx, and formed a large defensive array with excellent attack and defense in a moment.
The elite infantry is in front, holding a large shield and halberd to prevent the enemy from sprinting, followed by Lu Bu's carefully built mixed army, all armed with short swords and crossbow arrows, which can shoot the enemy with crossbow arrows from afar, and can rush into the enemy camp to kill the enemy at close range, can be long and short, can be far and near, and is one of the main forces of Lu Bu's infantry combat.
Then there are 10,000 longbowmen, the longbow is not faster than the crossbow arrows, Lu Bu's individual crossbow can fire three or even five crossbow arrows at a time, the firing firepower is unprecedentedly powerful, it is to think of an army of 10,000 people, if you assemble five strong crossbows, the power of a salvo will be like an army of 50,000, and the power increased out of thin air makes the enemy feel terrified when he thinks about it. But the longbowman has his own strengths, that is, the longbowman shoots a bow and arrow with a much longer range than a crossbow arrow, and the power is naturally much stronger.
After that, Lu Bu relied on it to attack and kill the Quartet, and the invincible giant ballista, including the God-Breaking Crossbow, which is incomparable in the power of shooting individual soldiers, and the God of War Crossbow, a large weapon of war that can fire twenty crossbow arrows at a time. Dozens of them were arranged on the high platform of the fortifications on the riverbank.
There are 10,000 heavy cavalry on the left and right sides of the military formation to cover the two wings, majestic and majestic, bright armor, because of many years of fighting and fighting, they have a fierce temperament, they are unstoppable to hear, and it makes people feel frightened.
Lu Bu stood on top of a huge tower in the camp, Tian Feng and Feng Ji were separated, Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked, and his innate eyesight could make him see farther and clearer than ordinary people. Just now, he saw Cao Cao's army swarming from afar, and promptly ordered the horn to be sounded, so that the army quickly assembled.
At this time, even Tian Feng, Feng Ji and others could clearly see that the Cao army, which was rushing quickly, was surging from all directions from a distance, and the black pressure covered the hills and land in the distance.
Cao Jun's banner is flying, like a mountain torrent and tsunami, sweeping in, looking at the tower, it looks even more terrifying and hideous, and the aura exuded by the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves, even if it is just a distant view, it can't help but make people frightened.
Cao Cao's army finally stopped five hundred paces away, and the water surrounding LΓΌ Bu's military camp was impassable.
Cao Cao was in the center of the army, and saw that Lu Bu's army was rapidly assembled, and several generals were sitting in it, but he didn't see Lu Bu appearing, so he said to the left and right: "It seems that Lu Bu's injury is indeed true, and our army's victory has added a few points." β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lu Bu is camping in the river, there is no way to retreat at this time, but to fight to the death, it is the good opportunity given by God to Ming Gong, and our army is several times the strength of him, and it can be broken in one fell swoop." β
Cao Cao Chang smiled and said, "Who is going to call for me and win the first victory?" β
Xiahoudun stepped forward and said: "I am willing to go out to fight and cut off Lu Bu's head for my brother." β
Cao Cao said: "Okay, I'm relieved that Yuan let me go, you should go first to find out the truth of Lu Bu, if there is a difficulty, you can't fight." β
Xiahoudun took the order out, galloped into the formation of the two armies, and shouted: "The general's army is here, and Lu Bu comes out to die!" β
When Yan Liang heard this, he was arrogant, and he came out in a rage, and killed Xiahou Xuan, and scolded angrily: "The one-eyed thief is arrogant, how can you match the power of the prime minister, first taste the big knife in my Yan Liang's hand!" β
Xiahoudun was blinded by Gao Shun, and since then he has often been ashamed of this, and hates others to call him one-eyed, at this time he was stroked by Yan Liang, and he was also angry and killed, and said angrily: "Incompetent, you will die here today." β
The two fought in the battle, fighting for hundreds of rounds and it was difficult to distinguish the winner or loser, Xiahoudun was difficult to win for a while, and couldn't help but marvel at the strength of this person's martial arts.
Yan Liang was killing the rise, how could he easily follow his wishes, chase after him, and attack again and again, not letting him escape.
At this time, another general rushed out of the Cao army's array, shouting: "The puppet is crazy, eat me Xu Chu with a hammer!" β
The general who came was Xu Chu, and he saw that Xiahoudun was unable to get out for a while, so he hurriedly came out to relieve the siege.
Yan Liang didn't dare to be careless, so he had to let Xiahoudun leave, and was about to catch up with Xu Chu and fight him again, but when he saw a figure flashing beside him, Zhang Liao crossed over to Xu Chu, and shouted and scolded Xu Chu: "Brave people, will they only take turns to challenge?" No one cares about bullying our army? β
Zhang Liao made a pair of long swords, facing Xu Chu's war hammer, it was naturally far from each other in terms of power, but Zhang Liao's long sword was fast and dexterous, and every time he attacked the place where he must be saved, the two fought for dozens of rounds, Zhang Liao finally couldn't do it, and was knocked away by Xu Chu's long sword, so he had to flee in the wilderness.
The morale of Cao's army was greatly boosted, the war drums were beating loudly, and the army shouted mightily, which caused the mountains to collapse and the sea cracked.
Xu Chu won a battle, triumphant, galloped to Lu Bu's front of the formation to show off his might, and said: "Quickly tell Lu Bu to come out and die, you are really not enough to fight." β
Cao Jun's morale was fierce, laughing in unison, and the sound of scolding was endless.
When Lu Bu's army heard that this person had humiliated the commander, they were indignant and returned it with bows and arrows.
Xu Chu was forced to retreat by the bow and arrow, still scolding himself, and his arrogance was the same for a while.
Cao Cao laughed and said: "The tiger idiot is really powerful, so that Lu Bu and the generals dare not come forward to fight. β
Guo Jia said: "Lu Bu can't rely on personal bravery, now that he is injured and can't fight, it is a good opportunity for Ming Gong, why not raise troops to conquer and break it in one fell swoop." β
When Cao Cao heard this, he ordered the army to raise troops to press on.
More than 100,000 troops suddenly slaughtered Lu Bu's army like a tide.
Lu Bu stood up in the tower, saw Cao Jun coming menacingly, and said to the left and right: "Cao Cao despises me so far, it really shouldn't be, do you really think that my tens of thousands of troops are not a haystack?" β
Tian Feng said with a smile: "Cao Cao is frivolous, isn't it just as the prince and marquis wished, he has shown weakness several times before, isn't it just this time?" β
Lu Bu smiled: "That's right. β
Seeing that Cao Cao's army had already killed two hundred paces in front of the army's formation, and entered the range of the longbowmen, he ordered the generals to stand by and watch the order banner.
Cao's army approached as quickly as possible, and the herald shouted: "The enemy army is nearly a hundred paces!" β
Lu Buyu stood still, staring intently at the approach of Cao's army.
Wei Xu looked at Cao Cao's army under the pressure of the black, his heart was pounding, he had followed Lu Bu to fight for many years, and he had experienced countless battles, but he had never seen such a battle, not to mention the number of soldiers and horses in the army, just in terms of soldiers and horses, and the strength of the armor, the enemy army he saw was unmatched.
The general is still like this, let alone facing the enemy army of Lu Bu who is menacing! At this time, all the soldiers trembled, and when they saw so many enemy troops coming, they were naturally frightened by their momentum. Just imagine that even hundreds of thousands of rats are swarming, it will make people feel frightened, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands of well-trained soldiers and horses! Moreover, Lu Bu did not give the order for a long time, seeing that the enemy army was about to rush into the formation and engage with his own short troops, if he was broken up by the formation, wouldn't it be irreparable to regain the decline?
Therefore, tens of thousands of troops all raised their hearts to their throats, and their hands held weapons were in a cold sweat.
However, Lu Bu governed the army very strictly, and although tens of thousands of troops were panicked in their hearts, they still stood in place, not moving, waiting for Lu Bu's orders.
This was the herald who shouted again: "The enemy is nearly fifty paces!" β
Lu Buhu's eyes widened, his eyes were shining, and he shouted: "At this time! Put! β
The heralds were ordered, the flags were waved, and the war drums were ringing regularly, as if it were a signal for hell to reap their lives!
Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops were ordered, and the huge shields of the front army were connected one by one, forming a defensive wall, and then bows and crossbows gushed out, rolling up a violent storm, and there was a violent sound of heavy ballistas behind it! With the sharp sound of arrows piercing the air, the battlefield was suddenly enveloped by a strange sound.
Cao Jun was caught off guard, and was shot and killed by the rain of arrows that flew from the sky, and there were even giant long arrows fired by the god-breaking crossbow, like spears shooting from rods and rods, piercing more than a dozen people in order to stop them from castrating!
The charging front army, even the people and horses were shot and killed, but the incident happened in a hurry, the bow and arrow burst out only in the blink of an eye, the front army fell to the ground, and the rear army was not spared, 10,000 longbowmen threw up to the sky, the arrow rain drew a perfect curve, fell in Cao Cao's rear army, the soldiers were shot countless by the arrow rain, and fell in a pool of blood.
Cao Cao rushed to kill with the army, originally thinking that a battle would be decided, how could he have thought that Lu Bu's bow and arrows would be so powerful, only tens of thousands of people, but the power of the arrow rain that broke out was more than doubled, even 100,000 archers may not be able to shoot so many arrows!
But at this time, it was already difficult to ride the tiger, and the army was within the range of the bow and arrow, and if it retreated, I was afraid that it would only add more casualties, so I could only bite the bullet and urge the army to continue to rush forward and kill.
I don't know how many generals fell, Cao Cao's army finally killed in front of Lu Bu's array, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief, since Lu Bu's bow and arrows are sharp, there must be more archers, once they fight in close combat, there is no advantage at all, archers in front of their own infantry, they are simply lambs to be slaughtered.
However, the development of the battle situation was very different from Cao Cao's assumption, only to see that Lu Bu's army was pressed forward in formation, the battle formation was protected by a strong shield, and the halberd pierced like a forest, and countless soldiers and generals fell on the border of Cao's army, and countless sword and shield soldiers rushed out of the formation and killed into Cao's army.
The two armies finally met, and where the canine's teeth intertwined, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the sound of wailing and cries broke through the sky.
Even though Lu Bu's army was extremely brave and fierce, after all, the strength was far from Cao Cao's, and the army was oppressed by Cao Cao, retreating again and again, and there was a tendency to be defeated when he saw it.
At this time, the sound of trumpets and war drums became more violent, and on the left and right sides of the battle between the two armies, two groups of cavalry suddenly entered, both of which were Lu Bu's world-famous heavy cavalry.
The cavalry entered the Cao army's camp from the left and right ribs, as if countless torrents of steel were interspersed in the Cao army's large array, invincible.
Among them, there is even a general, holding a painting pole Fang Tianhalberd, wearing a Xuanzi unicorn armor, and a double feather phoenix tail crown on his head, who is not Lu Bu!
Cao Cao was shocked, and said left and right: "Isn't Lu Bu seriously injured?" How can it be in the array? β
Both left and right were at a loss, and they didn't know the reason.
Although Cao's army had a large number of troops, but under the charge of Lu Bu's cavalry, it fell into a panic for a while, at this time, there were Lu Bu's infantry in front of him, and there were cavalry to sprint on the left and right, and the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly.
Cao Cao's face changed several times, and he urgently ordered Dian Wei to change his formation to defend against the enemy.
Dian Wei gave the order and ordered Cao Cao's elite guards to form a defensive formation, forming an unbreakable giant shield array, turning the offensive into a defensive position, and gradually stabilizing the position.
The defensive array composed of more than 100,000 troops is naturally not trivial, each relying on the giant shield to form a formation, and there is a long halberd piercing and slashing, Lu Bu's troops are not enough, and there is no longer the previous invincible momentum.
The heavy cavalry was also trapped in the sea of Cao's army.
Without the power of the sprint, the advantage of the cavalry has been lost for most of the time, and they can only fight the enemy with their heavy armor halberds.
The battle between the two sides was in full swing, and they fell into anxiety for a while, and neither side could easily defeat the other side, so the battle was evenly divided, but Lu Bu's troops were far less than Cao Cao's.
At this time, Cao Cao's army killed a group of soldiers and horses, about 20,000 people, all of them were cavalry, but not Lu Bu's famous heavy cavalry, the soldiers and horses only wore light armor, with short knives, and the speed of action was like a storm.
It was Wei Yue who came to the general, and after Wei Yue helped Zhang Jaw break Le Jin, he took off the pool rope and followed Cao Jun along the mountain according to the first plan of the prince and the marquis.
At this time, it was just in time for the battle between Lu Bu and Cao's army, so he besieged and killed Cao's army from the rear.
Cao Cao's army was already in a scorching battle situation, and at this time, being attacked by Wei Yue and killing the rear defense was like a straw that overwhelmed a camel.
Cao's army was facing the enemy left and right, fell into the encirclement, and suddenly fell into chaos, after the previous battle, it had already suffered heavy casualties, and then it was deeply encircled, and the soldiers and generals had no will to fight.
Guo Jia followed Cao Cao and said: "Lu Bu lured our army into the encirclement, and now the situation is great, our army is no longer able to attack, it is better to break through the encirclement and try to make another day." β
Cao Cao gritted his teeth, still unwilling in his heart, he had so many people and horses, and he couldn't win, even if he retreated at this moment, would he have another chance to win in the future?
Dian Wei even shouted on the side: "If the lord doesn't leave again, when Lu Bu breaks through the formation, it will be difficult for me to break through again." β
Cao Cao was also a decisive man, and when he saw that nothing could be done at this time, he ordered the army to retreat and break through.
However, how easy is it to break through, at this time, the two armies are intertwined, and there is still no way to take a step forward, how can they escape smoothly?
