Chapter 184: Entering the Pottery Wind and Cloud Meeting
Let's say that Lu Bu went to Dongjun to assassinate Cao Cao alone since he got Ruyi, he was immediately anxious, Cao Cao's generals were like clouds, Xu Chu, Xiahoudun and other famous generals still had the strength to fight with themselves, but Ruyi was only a child, if he was not an adult in the later generations, although he practiced martial arts since childhood, but where was the opponent of those famous generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time, this time it was really Longtan Tiger's Den, and he was worried about his life if he didn't make up his mind.
He originally planned to capture Yuzhou first, in Xiayangzhou, so that Cao Cao could be surrounded in the land of Qilu, and Cao Cao would never turn over again without help from all sides.
But the current situation is extremely embarrassing, Ruyi is in the enemy camp, although there is a disaster of killing, there is no room for a moment's hesitation. On the day he received the Ruyi message, LΓΌ Bu ordered the army to divide into three routes and attack the counties of Yuzhou on a large scale, with Zhao Yun as the southern army, and captured Pingchun, Guangzhou, Lujiang and other counties along the line. Zhang Jaw was the Northern Army, all the way down from Yingchuan, and captured Caijun, Nanton, Dingcheng and other counties. LΓΌ Bu led an army of 100,000 to conquer Cao Cao's general in Runan, which was forbidden to defend the town.
Yu Ban's troops were weak and could not be garrisoned, and when Lu Bu divided his troops, he had no time to care about other things, so he only concentrated his superior forces to defend Runan. The northern and southern counties were lost one after another, and most of the defenders in Yuzhou changed their banners.
Runan was attacked by Lu Bu's 100,000 army for three days but could not be broken, both sides suffered heavy casualties, even Yu Ban at the head of the city was also frightened, I really don't know what is wrong with Lu Bu, it seems that he does not care about the life and death of the soldiers, and he attacks Runan every day, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides piled up on and under the city are more than 10,000 people.
Three days later, Runan City was finally overwhelmed by the successive attacks of Lu Bu's army, and many of the city walls were destroyed by heavy siege vehicles, and 100,000 people of Lu Bu's army flocked into the city.
Yu Ban could no longer stop it, and led more than 10,000 people to flee in embarrassment. originally thought that Lu Bu would definitely rest in Runan and would never lead a tired army to pursue along the road, but the fact was very unexpected.
Lu Bu's army did not take off their armor, did not stop, entered Runan without stopping, and chased after the forbidden participants in the rout. The two armies chased and fought several times, Yu Ban was almost killed by the whole army, the counties along the line were powerless to stop, Yu Ban entered a city every time, Lu Bu broke a city, there was a feat of connecting three cities in one day, Yu Ban almost became the guide of Lu Bu's march, and the places he passed were not spared, and they were destroyed by Lu Bu's army.
For the next ten days, Lu Bu chased after the remnants of the forbidden army, and did not give him the opportunity to deploy for help, which should have been a difficult offensive and defensive battle, but it became a one-sided chase battle, which was simply a hunt, Lu Bu was a hunter, and Yu Ban was the prey that ran around Yuzhou.
After that, Yu Ban only led more than 1,000 soldiers to participate in the army, fled into Yangzhou in a panic, and Cao Cao's general Cao Zhen, who guarded Yangzhou, deployed along the Huai River, but who knew that Lu Bu's army suddenly turned around and went north, leaving Yu Ban, Cao Zhen and others who were still worried in their hearts at a loss.
Less than half a month before and after the battle of Yuzhou, Lu Bu's three-way army was more than 100,000, each took countless counties, and the thirteen counties of Yuzhou were all lost to the enemy.
Although he knew that Lu Bu was going north along the way, Yu Ban was already in the wind, and he did not dare to take a step into Yuzhou, and only set up fortifications along the Huai River, so as to prevent Lu Bu's army from falling from the sky as before.
After Lu Bu captured the whole territory of Yuzhou, he knew that the soldiers and horses were tired, and he fought several times day and night, and the army would not march again, otherwise the army was afraid that before it reached Dongjun, the 100,000 army would die of exhaustion on the way to the march.
So, after LΓΌ Bu's three armies met in Xiyang, LΓΌ Bu ordered Wei Yue to lead the wolf cavalry battalion, which was all light cavalry, to march to Dongjun first, and he sat in the army, so that the three armies could rest for a day.
Later, Lu Bu received a letter from Chen Liuzhang Liao, saying that Cao Cao led an army of more than 100,000 to personally capture Dingtao.
LΓΌ Bu quickly reported to Wei Yue that he had temporarily changed the route of the march and marched towards Dingtao, and led more than 100,000 troops who had rested for a day to quickly follow him. Lu Bu knew that since Cao Cao was safe and sound, and he had not received the news of Cao Cao's assassination, he knew that Ruyi had not yet succeeded.
Since Cao Cao came to Dingtao, Ruyi may not follow secretly, and it should be too late to break Cao Cao's army before Ruyi starts.
The army was placed on the outskirts of Dingtao, it was late at night, but Lu Bu was not ready to rest, and ordered the army to prepare siege equipment, be sure to capture Dingtao City overnight, capture Cao Cao alive in the army, and also stop Ruyi from risking his life.
Lu Bu saw from afar that Wei Yue was trying to attack the city, but to no avail, so he knew that Cao Cao must have been prepared early in the morning, and secretly said that there would be a battle of life and death tonight.
Hurriedly ordered the army to march quickly, stepped forward to join Wei Yue's forward wolf cavalry camp, and when he arrived at the camp, he saw Wei Yue and other generals lined up to greet him.
Lu Bu hurriedly waved his hand, walked into the military tent, and waited for the generals to return to their positions before saying: "How about it, you test the attack, you can know how many defenders there are in the city." β
Wei Yue was distracted, and said worriedly: "Our army was tempted before, and learned that the defenders in the city were about thousands of people, and they were led by the general Xu Chu. β
Lu Bu nodded and said: "It seems that Cao Cao didn't know that our army had suddenly arrived here, and the army should still be stationed outside the city. β
Military advisor Yang Xiu said: "What the prince said is extremely true, I waited thousands of miles to come, it was for Cao Cao, this is a God-given opportunity, and it is time to raise troops to attack, otherwise when Cao Cao's troops are in place, I will wait to capture Dingtao City, it will be difficult." β
Tian Feng also said: "Our army's siege equipment has already been prepared, although it can launch a strong attack. β
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then without further ado, the people will listen to my orders." β
A number of generals have come out to wait.
Lu Budao: "Order Zhang Jaw to lead 30,000 vanguard dead soldiers to capture the high point of the city wall, and Zhao Yun to lead 50,000 elite swords and axes to suppress the formation and capture the city gate. Wang Ling commanded heavy ballista to suppress the attack of Cao's army at the head of the city, and the rest of the army followed me to press the formation, and when the city was broken, he entered the city in one fell swoop, and Cao Cao's soldiers in the city would not let him go away regardless of whether they were dead or alive. β
The generals were amazed.
Lu Bu said: "The female dependents in the city cannot be injured, but there are women in the military camp, so they will be captured alive first, and then reported to me." β
After Lu Bu passed the general's order, Que saw Wei Yue's eyes flickering, and he was quite unhappy in his heart, when was this time, but he was still deserting, and said sharply: "What else does General Wei Yue have to say?" β
Wei Yue was shocked, as if he had made a great determination, and gritted his teeth and said, "I have something important to do to the prince alone." β
Lu Bu's face was solemn, he knew that Wei Yue was a little reckless, but he was not a person who did not know the importance of it, at this time, there was something to be done alone, it must be a big event, so he ordered the left and right to retreat, let them act according to the plan, and prepare for the siege first, and asked Wei Yue: "What do you want to say at this time, if you miss the siege of the city because of this, I will not spare you." β
Wei Yue's eyes flickered and said, "We just rescued the young lady under Dingtao City." β
Lu Bu got up, turned over the table and didn't care about it, hurriedly walked to the tent, grabbed Wei Yue, and said in an almost trembling voice: "What do you say, you say it again." β
Wei Yue only felt that he was lifted by Lu Bu's volley, like a chicken caught by an eagle, his whole body was suspended in the air, he was a general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and he had no power to resist, needless to say, he was shocked in his heart, and said with a red face: "I just tried to attack the city, and found that Miss and General Yan Chao were fleeing under the city in the rain of arrows, it seems that they had just escaped from Dingtao City, and our army immediately made every effort to suppress the bows and arrows in the city, and rescued Miss and General Yan Chao." β
When Lu Bu heard this, the boulder that had been hanging for half a moon in his heart finally landed, and the whole person seemed to be a little warmer, and the fierce momentum on his body disintegrated, loosening Wei Yue's way, putting a cloak on his shoulders with both hands, and laughing in harmony: "You are really my lieutenant, where is Ruyi now, let her come to see me." β
Wei Yue's face became more and more ugly, and he said with a strong look: "Miss seems to be injured, but she has been bandaged by the military doctor, and now she is still in a coma, and the military doctor said that it is just overwork, and it is not a big problem." β
The boulder in Lu Bugang's heart couldn't help but lift it again, and said hurriedly: "Bastard, why don't you say it earlier, wait for me to see her." β
Wei Yue was speechless for a while, and said in his heart: I want to say, but I also have a chance.
But seeing Lu Bu's anxious look, where did he dare to slack off, he hurriedly ordered Lu Bu to go to the place where the partial account was wishful.
As soon as Lu Bu entered the account, he saw Ruyi sleeping on the bed, although he was groggy, he had a sad look on his face, and he didn't frown, as if he had endless distress, which was distressing.
Lu Bu hurriedly went to the bed to check, and saw that although she was unconscious, her face was full of blood, her breathing was steady and powerful, and although her clothes were stained with blood, there were no obvious injuries, only the left foot was bandaged and fixed, but it was not a serious injury that could hurt her life, Lu Bu put down the boulder in her heart safely, and said with a sigh: "How is Yan Chao's injury?" β
Wei Yue said: "General Yan Chao suffered multiple arrow wounds, and he lost too much blood, and the military doctor said that if he can survive it, it will depend on tonight." β
Lu Bu looked at Ruyi, who was sleeping quietly, although his heart was a lot more relieved, but he was full of self-blame, if he hadn't deliberately dispatched Ruyi to return to the state, he would not have been injured today, and if she had been left in the army that day, Ruyi would not have suffered so much.
Although he regretted it in his heart, he was not a small-hearted person, so he arranged and covered the quilt for Ruyi, and then said: "Yan Chao sacrificed his life to protect Ruyi in Dongjun, although he has my general's order, he is also loyal, such a heroic man cannot be disappointed, you will lead me to see his injury." β
The two came to Yan Chao's tent, Lu Bu stepped forward to check, and sure enough, he saw that Yan Chao's face was like gold paper, his anger was like a gossamer, and his body was tightly wrapped, and he didn't know how many scars, Lu Bu felt his guard's wishful heart, and said to Wei Yue: "Let the military doctor save his life no matter what." β
Wei Yue said: "At this time, naturally, I have already asked the military doctor to guard at all times, and I will ensure that General Yan Chao is safe and sound." β
At this time, the generals outside the account gathered, and Tian Feng called in a low voice outside: "Qi Yu Junhou, the army is ready to attack at any time, please give the order of the Junhou." β
Lu Bu led Wei Yue out of the military tent, and when he saw that the generals were eager to try, he said with a solemn expression: "Siege!" β
The war drums rang suddenly, and the army of more than 100,000 phalanxes, composed of more than a dozen phalanxes, marched forward in line with the sound of war drums, stepping step by step to make an earth-shattering sound, spreading in the night sky, making the quiet night sky add a bit of killing intent.
As expected, Cao Cao did not have many troops in the city, and after a round of attacks, the city walls were lost everywhere, and the city gates were also captured by Zhao Yun.
Although Lu Bu had the intention to personally enter the city to arrest Cao Cao, but Ruyi was still unconscious, he was a little uneasy, so he only ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw to enter Dingtao together, pursue the remnants of Cao's army, and sit in the military camp to wait for Ruyi to wake up.
However, he didn't wait for Ruyi to wake up, but Zhao Yunyu, who entered the city and returned, reported: "After I entered the city, I only found a small number of Cao troops, and I did not find Cao Cao himself and his main force. Our army easily controlled the city defense, and came to report to the prince. β
Lu Bu sneered: "Cao Cao saw the opportunity quickly, but why did he go back and leave without a fight?" β
Zhao Yun smiled: "This prince can't figure it out, right?" Look who I brought! β
A long-lost figure flashed behind Zhao Yun, tall and strong with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and bowed according to the courtesy: "Zhang Liao greets the prime minister." β
