Chapter 60: Fight to Fame
"100,000 elites, but they can't catch two horsemen?!" Cao Cao stomped his feet angrily.
Seeing that Lu Bu and Li Yuanba were about to kill, Guo Jia said again: "Prime Minister, the defeat of the previous generals has made the soldiers lose all their fighting spirit, and if they continue to fight, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to me." It's better to withdraw the army first, and wait until we come up with a strategy to break the enemy, and then it's not too late to fight. ”
After Cheng Yu and Xun You came back to their senses, they also hurriedly seconded the proposal.
"I'm really not willing to withdraw my troops here." Cao Cao did not take Guo Jia's advice, called the heralds, and ordered: "Give me the herald Xu Huang, transfer the chariot to charge the battle, and be sure to capture and kill these two!" ”
"No."
The herald leaves.
Xu Huang is also a general under his command, although he is not as brave as Xu Chu, but he has a good command of the army, and he can be of great use, and he belongs to the general category of both civil and military.
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu all sighed and said in their hearts: "If Xu Huang doesn't win again, the loss will be great." ”
But Cao Cao was determined to besiege and kill Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, and they had no choice. As a strategist, he can only advise, and cannot influence Cao Cao's thoughts and decisions. Of course, they also have some small expectations in their hearts, after all, the chariot is stronger than the soldiers, if they can really kill Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, then Pi can be broken, Xuzhou can be determined, and everything can be solved.
The strategists were thinking in their hearts that Xu Huang's 5,000 chariots had galloped into the military formation, and wherever they passed, the soldiers of the Cao army automatically avoided them.
When they got close to Li Yuanba and Lu Bu, the chariot circled around the outside, surrounding the two, and at the same time, the soldiers on the chariot opened their bows and released arrows and shot into the formation.
Lu Bu took a look at it and immediately shouted: "Yuanba, don't get entangled here, break through quickly." ”
Although he was a little worried, he gradually calmed down when he thought of Li Yuanba's power.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, the child will destroy those chariots!" Li Yuanba was not afraid at all, holding the golden hammer, and the speed of his progress suddenly accelerated.
Boom boom...
Next, it's time for the shock!
Lu Bu followed behind Li Yuanba, watching Li Yuanba hold a double hammer, flying up and down, knocking over and destroying those chariots that were galloping, one by one, and rushing out of the encirclement of the chariots in a few arrow steps.
But Li Yuanba didn't seem to have enjoyed it, and ran back to chase the chariot.
Lu Bu rolled his eyes and shouted at Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, do you see that flag?" Go get it back! Lu Bu pointed to Cao Cao's car mill, and at the top of the cart, there was a big flag embroidered with the word 'Cao'.
Immediately, Li Yuanba abandoned the chariot and rushed towards Cao Cao's car.
At this moment, Cao Cao couldn't be calm anymore.
"Prime Minister, retreat!"
"Prime Minister, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, why bother with those two horsemen?" The counsellors persuaded each other.
Cao Cao panicked, looked left and right, covered his forehead, and suddenly fell down.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" Guo Jia hurriedly climbed into the car and ran it over.
Cao Cao said with great difficulty: "I... I have a splitting headache! ”
Guo Jia immediately understood, nodded, and shouted to the surrounding generals: "The prime minister has committed a trouble, and he urgently needs to be treated, so he will quickly order the withdrawal of the army!" ”
"Withdraw!"
The order was given, and Cao Cao's car quickly turned around and left the battlefield.
The soldiers who originally surrounded Lu and Li also retreated in an orderly manner after receiving the order. But after walking not far, he was caught up by Lu and Li, and they chased and beat them frantically, suffering heavy casualties.
In desperation, Xu Huang had no choice but to personally lead 5,000 chariots to fight with Lu and Li in a wilderness.
After a fight, he took only five hundred chariots.
"Yuanba, don't chase anymore." Lu Bu suddenly stopped Li Yuanba.
"Why?"
"It's getting dark, and I'm afraid that the Cao army will be ambushed."
"I'm not afraid."
Lu Bu touched his stomach and asked, "Aren't you hungry?" ”
"Eh... I seem to be a little hungry. ”
Lu Bu laughed, lifted Li Yuanba to Chitu immediately, and said: "Let's go back to the city, have a good meal, and when we have enough spirits, we will clean up Cao Liu and drive them out of Xuzhou." ”
"Yes, the child listens to his father."
Lu Zhong and Xiao He were still standing on the city tower, and when they saw Lu Bu and Li Yuanba returning to the city, they immediately shouted: "The lord is back, open the city gate quickly." ”
Lu Hong, who was originally lurking on the periphery of the battlefield, also hurried over to meet Lu Bu and follow Lu Bu into the city.
"Lu Zhong."
"Yes."
"Clean up the battlefield immediately and see how many people Cao Liu has died."
"No." Lu Zhong's face was full of excitement, and he took the soldiers guarding the city to clean up the battlefield outside the city.
Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, Xiao He, and Lu Hong returned to the Assassin's Mansion together.
After this battle, Li Yuanba was nothing, but Lu Bu was really a little unbearable, and he was tired and just wanted to sleep. After I went back, I took a shower and changed into clean clothes. When the people in the back kitchen brought the wine and food, they chopped it with Li Yuanba.
Standing next to him were Xiao He and Diao Chan, who were dumbfounded.
"Lord, after this battle, Cao Liu is afraid that he will not dare to come again, right?" Xiao He asked with a smile.
Liu Bei definitely didn't dare to come, but Cao Cao couldn't say for sure. He was instructed to go down, and the soldiers defending the city should not slack off, and stand guard and patrol every day without interruption. ”
"Yes."
After dinner, Lu Bu arranged Li Yuanba in the right wing, and then met with Lu Hong, the county governor of Huai County, and rewarded him for his contribution in escorting Li Yuanba to Xiapi City, and ordered him to return to Huai County on a later date.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhong sent a battle report: "Lord, this is the battle report of yesterday's battle. ”
"Bring it quickly." Lu Bu was also curious, how many people did he kill yesterday?
But when he took the battle report, he was disappointed: "It's less than 20,000 people?" ”
"And nearly 5,000 tanks."
"That's less." Lu Bu thought in his heart, in history, Li Yuanba fought against the king of the Eighteen Roads, killing more than one million enemies, according to this data, wouldn't it take several months? Are all anti-kings so stupid? Will you send someone to kill Li Yuanba every day?
From this point, it can be seen that the historical data is inaccurate, which is a bit exaggerated.
"Lord, just two of you went to war and killed the enemy's army of 20,000, which is already very remarkable, why do you still say less. The last general felt that even if Xiang Yu was resurrected, he would not be able to play such a record. ”
Lu Zhong's face was full of admiration, and he praised Lu Bu and Li Yuanba.
"Hahaha... Well said. You send this war report to the barracks, so that the soldiers can take a good look, our Xuzhou army is invincible. Oh yes, tell Xiao He again, let him write an essay and tell the six counties of Xuzhou about the situation of yesterday's battle. ”
"No."
After Cao Liu returned to the camp, he discussed countermeasures.
Liu Bei changed his previous weak posture and criticized Cao Cao, but when discussing strategies, Liu Bei had different opinions and fell out with Cao Cao on the spot. That night, Liu Bei led more than 20,000 soldiers under his command to leave Caoying.
