Chapter 126: Wang Tu's hegemony turned empty

Lu Bu naturally had no way of knowing what happened in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, because he was busy clearing out the fish that had slipped through the net of Cao Cao's rout army. Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000 was only half killed or wounded, and most of the troops were divided and surrounded, crushed and scattered. If you can't clear it up in time, if you are gathered into an army by the leaders of it, you may become a scourge.

Cao Cao broke through the siege, and his own Wei Yue's wolf cavalry battalion went to chase and kill, if even the most elite light cavalry could not catch up with Cao Cao, the rest of the army would go again, but it would be a blind delay.

In this battle, although Cao Cao was defeated and almost his entire army was wiped out, Lu Bu himself was also heavily damaged. According to the statistics of Fengji after the war, the number of soldiers killed in the battle of Lü Bu's army reached 20,000, and there were countless serious injuries and minor injuries, and almost everyone had injuries of varying degrees of severity and severity.

He was planning properly and controlling the overall situation, but he was still suffering so badly, and the combat power of Cao Cao's army can be seen. It is no wonder that he can gallop across the Central Plains, attack everything, and admire Cao Cao's use of troops a little more.

A few days later, Lü Bu finally wiped out Cao Cao's defeated army around Luoyang, gathering as many as 50,000 soldiers, and countless generals and soldiers.

Lu Bu did not dare to let them form an army alone, so in order to avoid future troubles, these 50,000 soldiers and horses were scattered and incorporated into the command of Yan Liang, Zhang Liao and others to supplement their losses in battle.

In this battle, Zhang Liao and Yan Liang blocked Cao Cao's army head-on, with tens of thousands of soldiers, blocked the attack of Cao Cao's army of hundreds of thousands, and fought for a day and a night.

The army of bows and crossbows led by Zhang Liao is still better, the 30,000 army is only half damaged, and the backbone is still there. And Yan Liang's infantry and shield soldiers only bore the brunt of the battle, and first engaged Cao Cao, the 20,000 infantry and shield were almost completely annihilated, and the voice of three or two thousand people, if it were not for the heavy cavalry to cover its two wings, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have been killed and wounded long ago.

And the heavy cavalry itself fell into an endless siege due to the lack of room to charge, injuring nearly half a centaur. Only the wolf cavalry battalion led by Wei Yue, due to its swiftness and fluctuation, was the least injured, and of the 20,000 cavalry, eighty percent were still alive.

It is said that if you kill 10,000 enemies, you will lose 8,000 yourself, which is true.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's determination to fight to the death, Cao Cao fled in panic, and Cao Cao's army fell into a panic without a leader, the battle between the two armies would probably continue.

It's not that Lu Bu didn't want to completely eliminate Cao Cao, but he also had limited troops, and he divided his troops several times, and ordered Zhang Jaw and Zhao Zhao to lead a part of the troops and horses to intercept Yu Ban and Hongnong, so that he and Cao Cao could not support each other, and divided Zhao Yun to make him take advantage of the emptiness of Luoyang to steal the city of Luoyang.

The troops were divided into three routes, which made the army, which was far inferior in strength, even more stretched. So that Lü Bu no longer had any extra troops to block Cao Cao's retreat. Otherwise, if Lu Bu sends another army of soldiers and horses to set up an ambush in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, you can make Cao Cao have no way to escape.

And Cao Cao didn't know the real troop layout of Lu Bu's headquarters, and I am afraid that he also had some slingers and did not attack with all his strength, otherwise if Cao Cao had the determination of the ancients to break the cauldron and fight to the death with Lu Bu, I am afraid that the number of victories and defeats is not yet known.

After Wei Yue returned to the camp, he informed Lü Bu in detail of his pursuit of Cao's army.

Lu Bu learned that Cao Cao was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was immediately overjoyed, if Cao Cao was injured, then his army would be empty, and people's hearts would be floating, and he could take advantage of the situation to capture the Tiger Pass. Then the soldiers pointed directly at Yanzhou.

Without Cao Cao's Yanzhou, under the emptiness of troops, there is really nothing to worry about.

After some planning with Tian Feng and others, Lu Bu ordered Zhao Yun to send troops from Luoyang to sweep the formation, and Lu Bu personally commanded the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and went straight to the Tiger Prison Pass.

After many days of rest, the army finally recovered some of its spirit, and when it came to the Tiger Prison Pass, it was only to see that the city wall was full of mourning flags, and the soldiers and generals were wearing white filial piety, and there was a sad atmosphere.

Lu Bu ordered to inquire about the situation in the Guannei and learned a shocking news that Cao Cao, a great warlord who had been crisscrossing the Central Plains for many years, was actually injured by a disease, and his injuries were incurable.

Lu Bu was pleasantly surprised, it was actually Emperor Wu of Wei, who was supposed to establish the Cao Wei regime and unify the world, died, which was very different from the history he knew, could it really be that the wheel of history has changed? The joy is that since then, he has gone to a strong enemy, and since then, he has pacified the Central Plains and unified the great cause of the world, and has a better chance of winning.

The so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Lu Bu naturally just let go of this God-given opportunity and commanded the army to storm the Tiger Pass.

Although the city of the Tiger Prison is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Lu Bu has heavy equipment to help, the God of War crossbow, the God of War crossbow, and the stone thrower take turns to fight, and after several days of fierce attacks, 20,000 horses and horses were injured and finally the Tiger Prison was in the bag.

There were few defeats left in Cao Cao's army and retreated to Xingyang, which made Lu Bu believe that Cao Cao had died in battle, otherwise how could he not transfer troops from Yanzhou and refuse to accept this dangerous fortress?

Although Lu Bu was seriously damaged, he thought that Yanzhou after Cao Cao's death was even weaker at this moment, and he should take advantage of the victory to attack Yanzhou and capture the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Lu Bu vetoed Tian Fengfeng's suggestion to recuperate and settle the rear, and led more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xingyang.

The army marched to Xingyang, and as Lu Bu expected, Xingyang's defenses were very empty, and there was no strength to fight at all, and Cao's army was defeated at the touch of a button, and fled in the wilderness.

Lu Bu captured Xingyang, and almost did not waste his strength, which is not the same as the previous battle of life and death.

Lu Bu got even more carried away, ordered the army to rest in Xingyang for two days, and then marched towards Chenliu.

Chen Liu is the place where Cao Cao raised his troops, the significance of the Cao army is extraordinary, if you can take Xingyang in one fell swoop, then Xu County, Dongjun will be exposed in front of you, and then the land is open, in the panic moment when the Cao army has no leader, it is easy to take.

On this day, Lu Bu led the army to Xingyang Valley, and suddenly killed countless soldiers and horses from one side, and the person who led the troops was Cao Cao's general Xu Chu.

Lu Bu was full of pride, and he would not be afraid of him, and personally led the army to fight with him.

Cao's army seemed to have no previous fierce offensive, and was easily defeated by Lu Bu and fled, and the general Xu Chu was even more abandoned by Lu Bu and fled.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "As soon as Cao Cao died, even his generals became so weak that they were really vulnerable. ”

Tian Feng saw that he was carried away, and said worriedly: "Don't be careless, Cao Cao's death is just a rumor, not a fact, there are still many strange things in it, and you can't be careless, it's better to be careful." ”

Lu Bu said disapprerovingly: "Mr. is too worried, Cao Cao was injured by a disease, Wei Yue saw it with his own eyes, how can it be fake!" Looking at Cao Cao's death, his subordinates have no will to fight, and they should make persistent efforts and take the opportunity to capture Yanzhou, so as to live up to the good will of God. ”

Tian Feng saw that Lu Bu was carried away by the victory, so he could only sigh secretly, hoping that he was just worrying too much.

Lü Bu took advantage of the victory to pursue Xu Chu, wanting to wipe him out in Xingyang and cut off the living force of Cao's army.

The army chased to the eastern suburbs of Xingyang, and suddenly saw the soldiers and horses in the dense forest in front of them, and the dust was flying, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses were hiding in it.

Lu Bu sneered: "The suspicious tactics used by Zhang Fei in later generations still want to deceive me? ”

Shamelessly, he ordered the army to fight into the dense forest and not be moved by the enemy.

However, as soon as Lu Bufang entered the forest, he felt that something was wrong, except for hundreds of horses, which lit a fire at the tail of the horse, causing them to drag the branches and run wildly in the forest, there was no one in the forest.

Although this is more like a suspicious tactic, making Lu Bu's speculation confirmed, Lu Bu, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, feels that his heart is beating wildly, this is an instinctive reaction to danger, which has allowed him to escape the killing machine countless times before.

Lu Bu's heart suddenly became vigilant, and he ordered the army to stop and check the situation in the forest by himself.

Looking around, Lu Bu noticed that the ground under his feet was unusually soft, and jumped off his war horse to check. Since the heavy snowfall last month, the weather has been sunny for many days, how can the land that should be dry and hard, how can it be so soft, tentacles but feels greasy and slippery and wet, it is by no means the situation that should be there now, fingers picked up a pinch of soil and smelled, only to feel the strange fragrance, goodbye to the dead grass in the forest, the oil on it can be seen, suddenly realized in his heart, exclaimed: "It's fire oil, retreat!" ”

The words did not fall, but the sound of the bowstring opening sounded, as if urging the strings to play. Countless arrows flew with tongues of fire, and fell into the forest one after another, and the fire suddenly rose from all sides, and in a moment it became a prairie fire.

Lu Bu's army was crowded in front and back, and suddenly fell into a panic.

Sure enough, the retribution was unpleasant, Cao Cao's army actually used his own way to return the body of others, and the strategy that Lu Bu used to deal with Cao Cao before was now used by Cao Cao's army to deal with himself!

Lu Bu's army fled in all directions in the fire, and countless soldiers who had no time to rush out of the dense forest were entwined with tongues of fire, and the sound of screams and wails was terrifying.

Lü Bu led his army to escape from the forest, and he was still terrified in his heart, and he made a mistake, causing countless armies to be buried in the fire. At this time, I was outside the dense forest, and when I saw the flames, the screams in the forest still came from the piercing ears, which made people tremble.

In the midst of regret, countless cavalry behind him had already rushed to kill, and the person at the head was the general of the Cao army, Xiahou Dun!

Lü Bu responded to the battle in a hurry, but at this time, the formation of the army was unstable, and the people's hearts were scattered, even if Lü Bu was brave and brave, and his generals Zhang Liao and Yan Liang were also the best among the people, but they were powerless to resist the swarming Cao army cavalry.

As soon as Fang fought, he was killed by Xiahoudun's cavalry, killing and wounding countless soldiers and horses.

Lu Bu couldn't resist, so he could only retreat backwards in the direction of Xu County.

After fleeing for more than ten miles, he finally stabilized the formation, and when he looked back, he found that the 50,000 troops who followed him had lost nearly half of them at this time, and most of them were lost in the sea of fire in the dense forest.

Lu Bu didn't have time to feel heartache, and he had already seen countless soldiers and horses killing in front of him, and one of the big flags, with a Cao character written on it, was Cao Cao's handsome flag!

Lu Bu was shocked, wasn't Cao Cao already dead? Who else can use Cao Cao's banner? Isn't it Cao Cao's son Cao Pi?

Before Lu Bu could think carefully, the enemy army had already killed in front of him, and one of them had gold armor and silver helmets, which relieved Lu Bu's worries at a glance!

The person who came was Cao Cao, who had died!

Lu Bu was shocked, Cao Cao was not dead, he confused himself with the news of his death, made himself feel contemptuous, and deliberately showed weakness one after another, and failed several times to lure himself into his ambush circle.

This situation is the same as what happened to Cao Cao before, it seems to be a time backflow, repeating what happened before, but the personnel in it happen to be reversed!

Lu Bu was angry in his heart, regretting that he should not have listened to Tian Feng's words, and rashly advanced against the enemy, and then took the liberty of going deep alone without confirming the news of Cao Cao's death. At this time, Cao Cao was killed in front of him, and Xiahoudun was chasing behind him, and he could only fight to the death under the enemy.

Cao Cao stopped his soldiers and horses when he approached, looked at Lu Bu from afar, and said, "Feng Xian didn't expect that he would be in the current situation, right?" ”

Lu Bu sneered: "Don't be complacent too early, just blame me for believing the rumors by mistake, it's just that I still have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, what can you do to me with only tens of thousands of horses?" ”

Cao Cao said calmly: "My 200,000 army was broken by you, and I myself was in danger of dying, which shows that God has its own favor for me, and now that you are under siege, it is better to surrender, I will lead the infantry, you will lead the cavalry, you and I will create a prosperous world together, and dominate the mountains and rivers, isn't it a wonderful thing!" ”

Lu Bu sneered: "You and I have no hatred against each other, you can only live and die, don't talk nonsense, go eat my halberd first!" ”

Speaking of commanding the whole army, lay it out!

At this time, Lu Bu had already calculated that the Xiahou soldiers and horses were intercepted in the future, and it was Cao Cao's hinterland, which was by no means the first choice for breaking through, and although Cao Cao's army in front of him had more soldiers and horses, it was indeed the last line of defense.

Lu Bu led the army to kill, and Cao Cao sneered to meet the enemy.

However, Cao Cao had already come prepared, and he had long expected that Lu Bu would not surrender easily, so he was naturally fully prepared.

Dian Wei rode out to meet Lu Bu, blocking his fierce offensive, the tiger camp formed a formation to block the enemy, the strong shield halberd is like a copper wall, Lu Bu can not advance, and the generals behind him are also blocked by Cao Cao's generals Cao Xiu, Xiahou Yuan and others, the soldiers and horses and Cao Cao's battle array are handed over, and they can't break the formation for a while, and they fall into a situation of holding each other.

Lu Bu was anxious, seeing that the pursuers behind him were coming, if he could not break through Cao Cao's interception in time, he would face front and back attacks, and he would have no power to return to the sky.

Calling left and right: "Life and death are all at this time, and everyone will break the battle with me!" ”

The army behind him shouted triumphantly: "Break the formation!" ”

Lu Bu's halberd stabbed down with all his strength, and the momentum of destroying the heavens and the earth broke out, Dian Wei didn't expect that Lu Bu could still burst out with divine power, it turned out that he didn't do his best in the previous fight?

But Cao Cao was behind him, and he was not allowed to dodge and retreat, so he could only fight to meet the enemy.

At the intersection of the soldiers, sparks splashed everywhere, Dian Wei's long knife was smashed, and Lu Bu's halberd castration was still not weakened, which hit Dian Wei's heart.

Dian Wei was smashed through the ice blade, and in a panic, he could only hold the halberd blade of Lu Bu's painting with both hands, but how could the flesh and blood block the divine soldier for half a point!

With the blessing of Lu Bu's divine power, the painting halberd was castrated like a rainbow, piercing into Dian Wei's chest, and the blood in Dian Wei's mouth spurted wildly, still holding on to the halberd.
