Chapter 342: Trapped in Cao Ying
Cao Cao's army was stationed, and the thunderbolts and crossbows were assembled by the soldiers, and then covered with thick linen.
Whether viewed from mid-air or from the top of a mountain, it is impossible to see what is covered under the sackcloth.
Looking at the hill where Lu Bu was stationed, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao thinks Lu Bu will send troops down the mountain?" ”
"I think he will." Guo Jia replied: "When our army came here, Lu Bu would definitely think that he had a sharp weapon to deal with the air force, but he couldn't guess what it was." Even if they don't give the order to kill all the air forces, at least a small number of them will be sent to explore the way. ”
"If he sends a few people to explore the way, will we ignore it?" Cao Cao asked.
"Of course not." Guo Jia replied: "No matter how many people he comes, we have to beat them down." ”
"It's just a small number of them, and we can't kill them all at once." Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said to Guo Jia: "I think it's better to wait until he orders all the air forces to attack." ”
"Could it be that the lord forgot how Lu Bu made us suffer a big loss last time?" "He will give the order for the Air Force to drop the fuel tanks and then launch the rockets," Guo said. If our army is defenseless, the barracks will surely suffer. ”
Cao Cao's face didn't look good, and he asked Guo Jia again: "Can you only watch these sharp weapons be placed here, but you can't cause too much damage to their air force?" ”
"Why kill their air force?" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Lu Bu relies on the Air Force, and what we have to do is to make his Air Force have no achievements. As long as his air force can't do anything, it's already a victory for us. ”
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia incomprehensibly: "Fengxiao means ......"
"In the last battle, if Lu Bu didn't have an air force, and the lord ordered the soldiers to dig a river at the foot of the mountain, and then set fire to the mountain, would he have any way out?" Guo Jia said: "As long as we deploy like the last time, Lu Bu will have to abandon the mountain. Even if we can't catch up with them, as long as he withdraws, we can get the tools to fly them into the sky. With those things, I think the lord can also form an air force. ”
Instantly understood Guo Jia's intentions, Cao Cao praised: "It's still Feng Xiao's thoughtfulness, why didn't I take these into account?" ”
"It's not that the lord didn't think about it." Guo Jia replied: "It's just that the lord wanted to break Lu Bu's air force too much, so he couldn't see it clearly." ”
"Bonghyo is right." Cao Cao first admitted Guo Jia's statement, and then said to Xu Chu on the side: "Zhong Kang conveyed the military order for me, to prepare for the crossbow and thunderbolt. Once Lu Bu's air force comes, don't care how many people they have, just project and shoot them down. ”
Xu Chu agreed, ran to the crossbow and thunderbolt, and conveyed Cao Cao's order.
Cao Jun, who controlled catapults and crossbows, most of them had suffered a big loss from Lu Bu here last time.
After receiving the order, they were full of excitement one by one, just waiting for Lu Bu's air force to take off and come here.
The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Bu on the top of the mountain looked at the Cao Jun military camp, his face was still solemn.
Zhao Yun came behind him and said to her: "Chu Hou, the air force is ready, just wait for Chu Hou to give an order, you can kill Cao Cao's military camp." ”
"Didn't Zilong find out that Cao Cao came very strangely this time?" Lu Bu asked Zhao Yun: "They know that we have an air force, but they are still stationed in the same place, to say that Cao Cao is a person who will make mistakes twice in a row, I will definitely not believe it." I'm curious to know, what exactly did he want to do here? ”
"Whatever he's going to do." Zhao Yun replied: "I will take one hundred and ten air force officers and soldiers to investigate, and it will be clear." If Cao Cao hadn't done anything to us, he could only say that he was really stupid and would have made the same mistake twice. If he really had a way to deal with the air force, Chu Hou would be able to see what it was, and when he dealt with Cao Cao in the future, he would not be completely ignorant of the enemy's situation. ”
Looking at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, who was still not very relieved, said: "Zilong has to be very careful when he goes." ”
"Chu Hou rest assured." Zhao Yun replied: "As long as I have a spear, what can I do even if thousands of troops come?" Even if I can't fight them alone, at least I can make them remember that Chu Hou's men are not without strong men. ”
"Zilong's reputation is actually very high." Lu Bu said: "You lead the air force to kill the enemy camp, and Cao Cao can't be a little more vigilant." ”
"Chu Hou has an overreputation." Zhao Yun agreed.
Lu Bu then said to him: "When it gets late, Zilong can take the soldiers to give Cao Cao some good looks." ”
"It's not early in the morning." Zhao Yun replied: "Even if he attacks at this time, Cao Cao should not respond so quickly. ”
"My concern is that he's not just going to be able to respond, he's going to do it for you." Lu Bu said this first, and then instructed Sun Ce on the other side: "Bo Fu will select two hundred elites for me, in case something happens to Zilong, I have to go to the rescue." ”
Sun Ce agreed, and immediately selected the elite for Lu Bu.
"Actually, Chu Hou doesn't have to do this at all." Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu: "Even if Cao Cao has the ability to deal with us and knock us all down, I can kill three in and three out of his military camp with a spear." ”
"I know Zilong's ability." Lu Bu said: "Intercept Cao Cao, I brought you and Bo Fu here to have a better chance of winning." With the three of us here, it is impossible for Cao Cao to kill Dangshan. But Zilong must remember that what I said is that the three of us are here, and without any of them, Dangshan will be difficult to protect. ”
"I understand what Chu Hou means." Zhao Yun arched his hand and replied, "I will definitely not disappoint Chu Hou." ”
Lu Bu nodded: "If Zilong is really ready, he can now lead the air force to explore Cao Cao's deployment." ”
"I'll quit first." Zhao Yun bowed to Lu Bu and turned to the air force waiting on the mountain.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Lu Bu's face was indeed not very good-looking.
He had already sensed that Cao Cao had a sharp weapon to deal with the air force, but he didn't think of what it would be, and he would inevitably worry about Zhao Yun.
It didn't take long for two balloons to rise from the top of the mountain.
Rising into the air, the balloons slowly floated towards Cao Cao's military camp, and after they set off, the gliders on the top of the mountain also took off.
The glider flew into the air and headed for Cao Cao's barracks.
When the balloon lifted into the air, Cao Jun, who had been watching the top of the mountain, shouted: "Quickly report to the lord, the air force under Lu Bu has flown over!" ”
Already expecting that tonight would not be too stopping, Cao Cao never slept.
Hearing that the air force under Lu Bu had risen into the air and was flying towards them, Cao Cao hurriedly explained to Xu Chu: "Order to step on crossbows and thunderbolts, and when they enter the firing range, shoot them immediately!" ”
Cao Cao gave the order, and the Cao army, who was waiting next to the crossbow and thunderbolt carts, lifted the sackcloth one after another.
When the sackcloth was lifted, two hundred crossbows and two hundred thunderbolts appeared before the soldiers.
Cao's troops, who controlled the thunderbolts and crossbows, were in position, just waiting for the air force to get closer.
The speed of the glider was extremely fast, and it only took off for a moment, and it seemed that it was about to come to the sky above Cao Cao's military camp.
Next to the crossbow and thunderbolt, a Cao Army officer raised his arm high and shouted: "Projection!" ”
The officer gave the order, and the crossbows and thunderbolts that had been prepared were fired at almost simultaneously with arrows and boulders.
The height of the glider is not short, and it is simply impossible for an ordinary arrow to reach there.
And the arrows of the crossbow are full of power, and it is impossible to fail to project them.
Two hundred crossbow arrows flew into the air, and the catapult also ejected stones, and Zhao Yun, who was flying this way, was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly controlled the glider to the side.
The air force that followed him was not so lucky, and more than a dozen of them were shot down by boulders and arrows.
The companion was shot down, and the hearts of the officers and men of the Air Force who were still in mid-air suddenly tightened.
Earlier, they had been acting recklessly on top of Cao Jun's head, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to come up with enough weapons to deal with them so quickly.
The first group of air forces were shot and fell from mid-air, followed by a second wave of arrows and boulders.
Zhao Yun, who was about to control the glider to the top of Cao Jun's head, only felt that his arm trembled, and the left wing was actually shot by a crossbow.
The arrows of the crossbow were huge, and when they hit the wings, they instantly shattered the wings.
Zhao Yun in mid-air rolled and fell.
The air force that followed him couldn't help but be more nervous when they saw Zhao Yun falling.
The more nervous they are, the more hectic the air force officers and men become.
The second wave of arrows inflicted more casualties on the Air Force than before.
The remaining air forces found that the momentum was not good, and they all turned around and flew to the top of the mountain.
Gliders are fast, but they are still faster than arrows.
When he turned around and walked back, more than a dozen air forces were dropped by the third wave of arrows and boulders of Cao Jun.
The first time the Air Force went to war, it was shot down more than half of Cao's barracks without even touching it.
Zhao Yun, who fell from mid-air, looked like he was about to fall to the ground, and there happened to be a few uncles nearby who had been burned down earlier.
He poked his spear into one of the trees.
The moment the spear stabbed the tree, his hands shifted angles in mid-air, using this shift to unload most of his strength.
Although he had lost most of his strength, he still fell from mid-air after all.
He pinched the spear and used the elasticity of the barrel to leap upwards.
When he fell down again, the spear in his hand flipped and stabbed another large tree next to him.
Zhao Yun's movements were like flowing water in one go, and with two simple strokes, he actually unloaded all the strength he had dropped.
After the force of the fall was removed, he took the spear and made a leap, and landed steadily on the ground from a height as high as the tree.
Cao Cao, who was watching from a distance, saw this scene and asked everyone on the side, "Who is that general in silver armor and white robes?" ”
Among Cao Cao's staff, there were those who recognized Zhao Yun and said to him: "This person's name is Zhao Zilong, who went to serve Gongsun Zan in his early years, and later planned to go to Xudu to find his old friend Liu Bei. But for some reason, he didn't see Liu Bei in the end, but was accepted by Lu Bu. ”
"What a Zhao Zilong, after falling from mid-air, he landed firmly on the ground with just a spear." Cao Cao ordered to the side: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to shoot Zhao Zilong, I will capture him, and ask him if he is willing to throw himself under my tent." ”
Everyone responded, especially those generals, who heard that Cao Cao was going to capture Zhao Yun, and they all rushed to capture Zhao Yun, just waiting for him to give an order, and they rushed up to capture Zhao Yun.
The generals of the Cao army had such a plan, and Zhao Yun was surrounded by a group of Cao legions at the same time as he landed.
Holding a spear, his eyes swept in front of Cao Jun in front of him, and Zhao Yun shouted with contempt: "Who dares to come up?" ”
Cao Jun, who surrounded him, saw that he was fierce, how could he dare to step forward easily, and they just surrounded him from a distance with weapons.
Carrying a spear, seeing that no one in Cao Jun dared to step forward, Zhao Yun was about to take the initiative to rush out to fight, and rushed out from behind Cao Jun.
This person carried a halberd, and after rushing out, he shouted: "Xiahou Jie is here, Zhao Yun has not sent Xiang Shang's head yet, when are you going to die?" ”
Xiahou Jie shouted, riding his horse and rushing towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun, who fell from mid-air, could not be accompanied by a war horse, and the moment Xia Houjie rushed up, he swept the spear in his hand and swept it over the horse's leg.
Xiahou Jie, who rushed forward, didn't expect that he would choose to hit the horse's legs first, only to feel that the front hooves of the war horse under his crotch were soft, and then he heard the war horse neighing and flipped out in the air.
Still rolling in mid-air, Xiahou Jie even thought that once he landed, he would have to fight Zhao Yun to the death.
As soon as the thought came to him, before he could land, the spear in Zhao Yun's hand had already stabbed over.
The body was still more than half a person high from the ground, and Xia Houjie, who was rolling, only felt a pain in his heart, and was actually pierced through the heart by Zhao Yun's shot.
Holding the spear in both hands, Zhao Yun shook it all his might, throwing Xiahou Jie's body towards a group of Cao Jun who surrounded him.
The group of Cao Jun was caught off guard and was smashed.
Before they could get up, Zhao Yun was already bursting into a shout, and he rushed towards them with a spear.
The gun fell, and Cao Jun was killed on the spot by him.
Among them, Cao Jun, who was riding a horse, was pierced through the waist by Zhao Yun with a shot before he could understand what was going on, and he was thrown out of the way.
Zhao Yun suddenly attacked, and Cao Jun suddenly panicked.
The soldiers first retreated, and when they reacted, they shouted and rushed forward to meet him. ’
Cao Jun was numerous, but Zhao Yun was not afraid at all.
Picking up and killing the Cao army on horseback, he jumped on his horse and brandished a spear to kill a bloody path among Cao Jun.
Cao Jun, who tried to block Zhao Yun, was killed by him and fell to the ground.
Suppressed by his bravery, the soldiers of the Cao army subconsciously retreated.
Carrying a spear and rushing forward, Zhao Yun was about to rush out of the encirclement of the Cao army, and another Cao general came to kill him.
Cao Jiang rode his horse and charged, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Yunxiu is leaving, I will come to meet you tomorrow!" ”
