Chapter 67: Cao Thief Takes His Life
"Cao Xing, you can lead five hundred cavalry to launch a surprise attack from the left, Wei Xu to lead five hundred cavalry to launch a surprise attack from the right side, and the rest of the cavalry can follow the general." Lu Bu ordered: "After attacking the enemy, if you encounter stubborn resistance, there is no need to fight to the death. ”
"Whoa." Cao Xing and Wei Xu said in unison, their expressions revealing excitement.
The cavalry under the command of Lu Bu has formed a certain control over the news on the battlefield, which makes it difficult for Cao Cao to form an effective understanding of the movements of the Xuzhou army.
In the afternoon, Cao Cao's army was not noisy, groups of soldiers were in the shade of trees, the weather was gradually hot, they did not have a clear goal on the battlefield, looking for the Xuzhou cavalry, and the cavalry in the army could complete it.
If you look closely, you will find that although these soldiers are enjoying the shade of the trees, their expressions are full of vigilance, their blades are at hand, as long as there is an emergency, they can respond immediately, and in the hot weather, no soldier takes off the armor on his body.
"Hmph, if you want to deliberately put on such a posture to ambush the general, how will the general let you get your wish." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
On the high ground on the left and right, dense Xuzhou cavalry appeared, and it was Cao Xing and Wei Xu who led the cavalry to kill.
The cavalry that came with the billowing smoke and dust made the Cao soldiers uncontrollable chaotic scene, regardless of whether they had prepared before, what kind of situation would the foot soldiers have when facing the cavalry? The combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at all on the same level.
Many generals shouted hard and organized the officers and men of the army to block the cavalry attack.
The command of the generals was supposedly not too problematic, but they ignored the fear of the foot soldiers in the face of the cavalry.
Two cavalry marched across the country and quickly tore through Cao's defenses.
Just when the Cao army was struggling to support, Xiahoudun led 2,000 soldiers and horses to kill, and Cao Chun led 300 cavalry to charge, and the Cao army soldiers were shocked.
"The traitor is not ready to dismount and surrender, the general has been waiting here for a long time." Xiahoudun laughed.
Cao Xing took a bow and arrows, and a Cao army cavalry fell in response, "Cao Cao, he dared to be presumptuous in front of Wen Hou." ”
Although the situation on the field was somewhat unfavorable to the Xuzhou cavalry, the Xuzhou cavalry in the field still showed strong combat effectiveness, as if the Cao army that suddenly killed was difficult to have too much impact on them.
However, when the two sides clashed, the momentum shown by Cao Jun was very different from the past, and his own side had ambush troops, which could boost their morale to the greatest extent.
The Xuzhou cavalry, crisscrossing the battlefield, showed outstanding riding skills.
Xiahoudun roared angrily, obviously the enemy army was plotted, but he was so arrogant in his own army.
As soon as the long knife was raised, Xiahoudun rode out of his horse, and two Xuzhou cavalrymen slashed and killed Xiahoudun with a knife.
Cao Chun also made a move, this confrontation is not only a duel between the sergeants and pawns of the army, but also a confrontation between the generals, and the bravery of the generals can drive the fighting spirit of the generals and soldiers to a certain extent.
The situation on the field was chaotic, more and more Cao troops joined the battle, and generals such as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were invincible among the Xuzhou cavalry.
"My lord, our army will win this battle." Cao Hongdao.
Cao Cao laughed and said: "This official has long expected that the Xuzhou cavalry will make such a move, to inquire about the situation on the battlefield, and to make our army pay a heavy price, this official will let the Xuzhou cavalry see the elite under the command of this official." ”
"The lord's wisdom and resourcefulness are unparalleled, how can it be comparable to just Lu Bu." Cao Hong echoed.
Fighting with the cavalry is not a small test for the foot soldiers, and the strength of the Xuzhou cavalry has been fully proved in this battle.
Cao Cao said: "The cavalry under the command of Lu Bu is extremely elite, if there is such a cavalry under the command of this official, why can't he wipe out the thieves." ”
"Our army won this battle, as long as the lord spoke, there must be many Xuzhou cavalry willing to take refuge in the lord."
Cao Cao nodded, although there were hundreds of cavalry under his command, no one would dislike the number of cavalry was too much, especially the Xuzhou cavalry had such a strong combat effectiveness.
As soon as the order to "those who descend will not be killed" was issued, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away, and the billowing dust and smoke obscured it, making it difficult to distinguish whether it was friend or foe.
Cao Cao's face changed slightly, "It's not good, maybe it was the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army who killed it." ”
"Lieutenant Officers and Men of the Herald Army are on alert!" Cao Cao hurriedly said.
A gust of wind blew, the banner of the word "Lu" was waving in the wind, it was particularly conspicuous, the first person, sitting down on the red rabbit horse, painting the halberd in the sky, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a hundred flowers and running, it was Wenhou Lu Bu.
"Cao Mengde, when you see Ben Hou coming, don't hurry up and salute!" Lu Bu shouted.
The cheers full of anger made the soldiers of the Cao army who were fighting on the battlefield couldn't help but stagnate slightly.
On the other hand, the Xuzhou cavalry, seeing that Lu Bu led the cavalry to kill, their morale was high.
Gently kicked the red rabbit horse, and the whole person was like an arrow from the string, killing and running into the Cao army.
The halberd was waved, but all the soldiers of the Cao army who stepped forward fell one after another, and for a while, Lu Bu's might was unstoppable.
"Cao thief takes his life." Looking at Cao Cao under the banner from afar, Lu Bu shouted, painting a halberd in his hand with a little blood.
Facing Lu Bu was like facing death from hell, so that the soldiers of the Cao army did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and even when they saw Lu Bu killing, they wanted to hide on both sides.
Cao Cao's expression flashed a trace of panic, the scenes of the previous confrontation with Lu Bu came to his mind, the attack of the Xuzhou cavalry this time was within Cao Cao's expectations, what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu turned out to be in the cavalry team, Cao Cao knew very well that when the Xuzhou cavalry had a fierce general like Lu Bu, what changes would it bring.
"Traitor Lu Bu, Hugh is rampant, see if Ben will take your life in the future!" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly and stepped forward.
People borrowed the horse's momentum, and the sound of the long knife breaking through the air sounded, and Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to be careless when he was fighting against Lu Bu.
Seeing Xiahou Yuan coming, Lu Bu shook the halberd in his hand and went straight towards Xiahou Yuan.
There are many fierce generals under Cao Cao's command, this Lu Bu is clear, and weakening Cao Cao's strength as much as possible is exactly what Lu Bu's purpose is, so that after Cao Cao's generals see him, they will have a fear from the bottom of their hearts.
The long knife collided with the halberd, bursting with sparks.
The halberd flipped and headed towards Xiahou Yuan again.
It was not the first time he had faced Lu Bu, and Xiahou Yuan still felt tremendous pressure from the changes in Lu Bu's moves, and every move contained great power.
