Chapter 134: The General Intends to Draw His Bow and Arrows
20,000 iron horsemen were like wind and clouds, destroying the withering and decaying momentum, but in a few breaths, the 10,000 soldiers who were full of favor were killed. When Lu Bu turned his horse and looked back, he found that none of the favored army could stand, and they were either killed and trampled to death by the cavalry and horses, or they were seriously injured and paralyzed on the ground, wailing.
Only Man Zhong and dozens of cavalry guards, relying on the swiftness of their horses, fled back to Dongjun in panic.
Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "It's too cruel, it's really a sin." β
Looking at the people who were far away, Lu Bu said: "Listen to the orders left and right, and the whole army will hide in the forest with me." β
Lu Bu knew that Juye was the place where Cao Cao must be saved, and this time he was full of favors and halberds, Cao Cao would definitely send troops to rescue Juye, and although Juye City was small, under Cao Cao's preparations, Zhang Liao's 10,000 soldiers and horses wanted to take it easily, and it was estimated that it would take some effort. He can surround the point here to send reinforcements, and consume Cao Jun's vital strength layer by layer here.
Full of favor and defeated in a battle, without the power to fight back, fled to Dongjun in a panic, when he saw Cao Cao, he was still colorless, and he was still frightened and said: "Report to the lord, our army went to rescue Juye, but I did not expect to be followed by Lu Buqin and the heavy cavalry, our army was defeated, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and his subordinates desperately escaped, and I came to ask the lord for guilt." β
Cao Cao was clear, it seems that Lu Bu deliberately led himself to divide his troops, and then broke them one by one, if he sent fewer troops, it would be difficult to destroy the sheep into the tiger's mouth, and he would easily eliminate them, if he sent more troops, the Dongjun guards would be weak, and when Lu Bu led the troops to attack, how could he resist?
In a dilemma, he asked Ji left and right: "Now that the battle situation of our army has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and Lu Bu's troops have sent a huge field, if he doesn't capture it and take the grain and grass for his own use, then he will not have the disaster of running out of food and soldiers, won't our army's previous plan be in vain?" What to do now? β
Xun You said: "Lu Bu sent me to save the place, Ming Gong must not save it, otherwise our army will fall into the situation of three enemies, and the general trend will go, if the East County is lost, it will be like a nest overturned, the roots of the tree are destroyed, and the heart of the murderer will be killed, and the hearts of our army will be greatly damaged, and the situation will be out of control after that, and please ask Ming Gong to send troops to rescue Juye again." β
Cao Cao said: "But Lu Bu is clearly going to attack the reinforcements that I rescued Juye, Lu Bu personally led the iron cavalry, even if our army is sent to double his strength, it may not be able to win, isn't it self-defeating?" β
Xun You said: "Lu Bu knows that our army will save the place when he sends troops, how can Ming Gong hit a stone with an egg?" At present, Lu Bu's iron cavalry is pouring out, and the Lu Bu camp west of Dongjun must be empty, if there is no Lu Bu in charge, the other soldiers will be just rubble pigs and dogs, why be afraid? Why didn't the Duke of Ming order General Cao Ren to raise troops to attack Lu Bu's camp, and then Lu Bu would inevitably return to the rescue, and then the Duke of Ming would send elite soldiers to rescue Juye, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. β
Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he ordered Cao Ren, the defender of the city, to immediately build a bridge and attack LΓΌ Bu's headquarters camp west of Dongjun.
At this time, in the large camp, only Zhang Jaw and several military divisions were in charge, and the troops were scattered layer by layer, which was far inferior to the Cao army, and was suddenly attacked by the Cao army, and suddenly fell into a fierce battle.
Cao's army waited for work, and had the advantage of the home field, and the soldiers all had the heart to defend their homeland, and under the life of the three armies, they actually defeated and retreated from Zhangjaw's troops, and the barracks and walls were broken by it, and the army suffered heavy casualties.
Zhang Jaw hurriedly asked Jia Xu, the military advisor: "Now that Cao's army is strong, our army obviously can't resist, if we try our best to fight to the death, I'm afraid we can't wait for the prince to come back to help, what should I do?" β
Jia Xu gritted his teeth and said: "The general must not withdraw his troops, otherwise this will trap the prince and Zhao Yun in the heavy siege, but please fight and retreat, closely attract Cao Ren's army to pursue, at any cost, lead him as far as possible, when the prince comes, from the back, Cao Ren will be unable to escape." β
Zhang Jaw followed the plan, so that the army fought and retreated, Cao Ren hurriedly pursued, and found that Lu Bu's army was extremely tenacious, defeated but not dispersed, but when he sacrificed his life to resist, when he also retreated steadily, Cao Ren was excited, isn't this a mockery of my ineffective command of the army?
There was even more blood in his heart, he chased after him, and he was very happy to slash and kill, and he had already left behind Cao Cao's military order to retreat with one blow.
Zhang Jaw and others were killed and retreated, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they retreated for ten miles, and they still didn't see Lu Bu's army to come back for help, Zhang Jaw asked the general urgently: "Have you ever sent troops to ask for help from the prince, why haven't you seen the reinforcements of the prince?" β
General Zuo replied in panic: "As early as when Cao Ren launched an attack, I sent a request for help to the prince and marquis in accordance with the general's order, and dozens of scouts were all intercepted and killed by Cao Ren?" β
Zhang Jaw was already overwhelmed, seeing that the army was getting smaller and smaller, and he didn't wait for the prince to return for help, he was afraid that he would be killed by Cao Ren, and the soldiers suffered too many casualties, otherwise he was frightened in his heart, and the feeling of death would inevitably arise from his heart, and the rout would only be sooner or later.
But at the moment, there is no other way but to support it according to the words of the military advisor. In the hope that the prince will arrive as soon as possible.
The army was defeated and retreated for ten miles, the soldiers had signs of unstable morale, and a small number of soldiers had fled from the formation.
In the midst of this crisis, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses came from behind, with thousands of men and horses, all of them cavalry, with light armor and short workers, all holding short knives, covering the wings like a tide, and heading straight towards Cao Ren's army.
Zhang Jaw saw it clearly, the cavalry was the wolf cavalry battalion that Lu Bu attached great importance to in front of the tent, and the general took the lead, and Wei Yue was undoubted. Zhang Jaw couldn't help but be shocked, and the secret road was really the endless road, and he shouted: "Our army's reinforcements have arrived, and all the soldiers will follow me to attack and kill Cao's army." β
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the morale of the army was naturally shaken, and the battle situation swept away the previous decline, calling for a counterattack to Cao Ren's army formation.
Cao Ren was already bound to win, but unexpectedly killed this cavalry from the side, although there were only more than 10,000 people, but they were all elite light cavalry, cavalry around the vertical and horizontal cavalry, coupled with the full force of the open jaw to attack, Cao Ren's army was attacked left and right, in front of the enemy, and was immediately killed in chaos, not only to fight with the infantry with open jaws, but also to distract from the light cavalry attack on both wings, who can withstand this.
After killing for a long time, Cao's army was already suffering heavy casualties, forming a rout.
Cao Jun scattered and fled, even Cao Ren had no intention of caring about anything else, but fled in a hurry under the escort of the cavalry.
But with Wei Yue's wolf cavalry camp following closely behind, how could they easily escape?
At the beginning of the formation of the wolf cavalry battalion, it was to raid behind the body, pursue the rout, and there was not much achievement since the battle, Wei Yue was even more entrusted by the prince and the marquis, and smashed the major matter of guarding the grain and grass, and at this time he was thinking of making meritorious service in exchange for the forgiveness of the prince. At this time, it is natural to chase after it.
Wei Yue cut down several Cao army routs in a row, and called out to the army: "The whole army is there, and I will hunt down and kill Cao Ren Cao, regardless of life or death, those who capture will be rewarded!" β
The cavalry screamed in unison, chasing after Cao Ren, who was fleeing.
Cao Ren pursued Zhang Jaw and chased him for more than ten miles, and it was not easy to escape at this time. Seeing that the light cavalry behind him was in hot pursuit, bows and arrows were shooting like rain, and he couldn't prevent it at all, and more than half of the hundreds of his own cavalry had been killed or wounded.
When he was anxious, he followed the adjutant general and said: "The general quickly swaps his cloak and helmet with me, and when I lead the enemy to pursue, the general can take the opportunity to escape." β
Cao Ren knew that he was in a hurry at the moment, and it was by no means the time to hesitate, so he changed his armor with the deputy general and fled.
Wei Yue followed closely, and when he saw that the enemy army was fleeing by different routes, he said left and right: "Chase Cao Ren, the general of the Cao army, and don't care about the other rats." β
The cavalry followed closely after "Cao Ren", who was wearing the general's armor.
Let's say that Lu Bu was hiding in the forest, and sent scouts to investigate the traces of Cao Jun, and waited for a long time, but there was no movement, and he couldn't help but feel impatient, and said to Wei Xu: "Is there any information about the military advisor?" β
Wei Yue said: "I didn't receive a summons from the military advisor. β
Lu Bu divided his troops and came, naturally worried about the safety of the battalion in his headquarters, in case Cao Cao jumped over the wall in a hurry, found out the reality of the battalion, and under the attack of the nest, the battalion was really difficult to resist, and his own soldiers and horses could penetrate behind him and break it in one fell swoop.
Hiding here was not only to attack and kill Cao Jun's reinforcements to Juye, but also a risky move to lure Cao Jun to attack, but he didn't receive any message at this time, but it made him a little uneasy.
At this moment, the scout rushed into the forest and hurriedly reported: "A Cao army has appeared in the east of Dongjun City, about 30,000 people, and is attacking in the direction of our army. β
Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "I'm afraid he won't come." β
It also made the soldiers and horses hold their breath and cover up the traces of the army.
After a long time, I saw a large army of about thousands of Cao troops, marching mightily, thinking that it should be the forward used by Cao Jun to explore the virtual reality, Lu Bu was unmoved, so the soldiers and horses did not move.
Sure enough, after the forward march, there were tens of thousands of Cao troops in a moment, waving flags, and marching unguarded.
Seeing that Cao Jun was approaching, Lu Bu did not hesitate any longer, and with an order, 20,000 iron horsemen rolled out of the forest like a tide.
This time, the leading general is Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang, although Cao Zhang is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he has always been good at fighting, brave and unusual, and Cao Cao has always loved him.
When Cao Cao heard that Lu Bu's camp was broken by Cao Ren, he was determined and wanted to come to Lu Buding's rescue meeting, so he sent Cao Zhang to support Juye to relieve the siege of Juye.
But how did he know that the dozens of scouts sent by Zhang Jaw were all intercepted and killed by Cao Ren's army, and none of them broke out of the encirclement, the world is so unpredictable, although Zhang Jaw was killed by Cao Ren and retreated for more than ten miles, without Lu Bu's assistance, but Lu Bu has been hiding here for this reason, and has not been led away by his scheme.
At this time, Cao Zhang was suddenly attacked by Lu Bu's iron cavalry, and he was in a panic, where it would be an opponent, even if Cao Zhang was quite brave, it was difficult to match Lu Bu, and the 30,000 army was impacted by the iron cavalry, almost no power to fight back, and in a moment it was already a person on his back and turned over, and was defeated by Lu Bu with a blow.
Although Cao Zhang was young and crazy, he knew Lu Bu's prestige for a long time, and when he saw Lu Bu killing, he had no confidence in a battle at all.
Lu Bu led the army to chase and kill for several miles, killing most of the deserters, and seeing that Cao Zhang's horses were handsome and had fled, he collected the soldiers and horses. He continued to Wei Xu: "Cao Cao was defeated here twice, losing a lot of troops, he didn't dare to send troops anymore, Juye is already in the bag, we will return to the army camp immediately, don't be taken advantage of by Cao Cao." β
When Lu Bu returned to the camp, the originally neat and orderly military camp had been burned by the war, and the corpses of the soldiers were scattered all over the ground, and the blood stained the mountains and rivers.
Lu Bu chuckled in his heart, shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the army to chase down the battlefield trail.
ran for several miles, but saw the Cao army running in front of him, throwing away his armor all the way, and wishing that he could not grow another pair of feet. At this time, when he saw the oncoming cavalry army, he was even more like a frightened bird, and he exclaimed that he was running in all directions.
Lu Bu was puzzled, looking at the battlefield situation, it was obviously a rout with open jaws, and most of the corpses along the way were left by Lu Bu's army, why did he see that it was Cao Cao's army who fled at this time?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, so he only ordered the soldiers and horses to continue to move forward, and he easily harvested Cao Cao's countless defeated soldiers along the way.
After running for a few miles, I finally saw a group of men and horses, all of them on light horses, swarming in, and the person at the head was Wei Yue.
Wei Yue saw Lu Bu, his heart was cold, thinking of his previous mistakes, it was difficult to escape, this time he wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't think that he was deceived by Cao Ren and Li Dai Taozhuang's plan, and Cao Ren escaped, only one deputy general was arrested, but after all, he also relieved the siege of Zhang Jaw, and it was also a merit to be able to avoid some sins, so he dismounted and bowed: "See the prince." β
When Lu Bu saw Wei Yue, he was immediately angry, and as a confidant, he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but he was so unsuccessful, he really couldn't support the wall, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?" β
Wei Yue saw that the prince's face was not good, and he was panicked, so he decided not to be busy pleading for the crime first, and said: "My subordinates came here to meet General Zhang Jaw who was besieged by Cao Ren, I took advantage of the situation to attack his flank, killed him and fled, I led the army to pursue the rebel army here, but I didn't expect to meet the prince." β
Lu Bu realized that it was indeed Cao Ren who took the opportunity to attack the camp of the army, and he had few troops, so he was naturally not his opponent, but why didn't he receive a military report asking for help? I don't have time to think about it, if this battle doesn't arrive in time, I'm afraid that Zhang Jaw and the military advisor will not be able to survive the disaster.
I was quite relieved in my heart, but my face was gloomy: "So you are here to show your merits?" β
Wei Yue was a little more frightened, it seemed that he was in a catastrophe, so he had to kneel down and ask for guilt: "His subordinates have the trust of the prince and the marquis, and they have not taken good care of our army's grain and grass, and they have been taken advantage of by Xiahou Dun, Wei Yue deserves to die for his crimes, please punish the princes." β
Lu Bu sneered: "When I left, I told you a thousand times to keep you from leaving Zhongmu's important land, but you turned a deaf ear, don't my words count in front of you?" β
Wei Yue was even more frightened, his body trembling on the ground, he hurriedly squeezed out two tears, and choked up: "My subordinates just want to share the worries of the prince, but their qualifications are dull, but they have caused trouble to the prince, and the subordinates are also guilty, please give me a death." β
When Lu Bu saw that he was a reckless man, he actually left tears, and even felt pity when I saw the pear blossoms and rain, and the anger in my heart disappeared a little, and he scolded: "Don't let me get up, don't stop me from going to see the military advisor." β
