Carrying Fang Tian's halberd, facing the Cao army brought by Yu Ban and Xun You, Lu Bu didn't even look at the battlefield behind him.

The main general who led the troops was Cao Ren, and if he wanted to arrange the troops, he might not be worse than Zhao Yun.

When it comes to martial arts, he is not Zhao Yun's opponent.

After fighting with Zhao Yun for a few rounds, Cao Ren felt that it was difficult, so he violently pushed the weapon forward, turned the war horse and left.

Zhao Yun followed behind and chased.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, a shout came from the side: "Zhao Zilong, if you have the ability, fight with me!" ”

Hearing the shout, Zhao Yun turned his head to look over, only to see a burly Cao army general rushing towards him with a big knife.

It was none other than Xiahou Yuan who rushed towards Zhao Yun.

Xiahou Yuan killed, Zhao Yun secretly shouted: "It's good to come!" ”

He met him with his spear.

Cao Ren heard Xiahou Yuan's shout behind him, and his courage was a little stronger, and he turned back to kill Zhao Yun.

Facing Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan alone, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all, and the spear in his hand danced like a windmill, fighting with the two of them.

The Cao army, which was ambushed by the cavalry, was scattered at the beginning of the battle, and the morale of the soldiers dropped sharply, and some even dragged their weapons and tried to flee the battlefield in a panic.

The cavalry of the Xuzhou Army followed closely behind them, slashing and slashing every Cao army they could meet.

Pursued by the cavalry, many Cao troops were killed in the wilderness.

Yu Ban and Xun You, who came to help, were actually blocked by Lu Bu alone and did not dare to step forward.

The battle behind him was already clear, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he lifted Fang Tian's halberd and pointed at Yu Ban on the opposite side: "Yu Ban, since you have brought troops to help, why don't you dare to step forward?" I don't want to fight you alone, you just have to order the soldiers to rush and kill. ”

Hearing Lu Bu's shout, Yu Ban swallowed his saliva and did not step forward.

During the Second Battle of Dangshan, Lü Bu fought against dozens of Cao generals with one person.

That battle had already planted a deep shadow in the hearts of every Cao Jun.

"Fight or fight, go or go, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Yu Ban did not move, Lu Bu shouted again.

Yu Ban looked at Xun You beside him, but Xun You said, "Let's go!" ”

An extremely interesting scene took place on the battlefield.

The three thousand Cao troops brought by Yu Ban and Xun You were actually frightened away by Lu Bu alone.

They withdrew from the battlefield, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren also found that they could not defeat Zhao Yun together, and the Cao army beside them was also chased and killed by the cavalry of the Xuzhou army like a flock of fleeing sheep.

Knowing that the general trend had gone, the two of them looked at each other, turned their horses and fled to the side.

Zhao Yun was about to chase when a cavalryman came to his side: "General Zhao, the Marquis of Chu has an order, don't pursue." ”

Seeing Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan walking away, Zhao Yun sighed with some annoyance.

Lu Bu, who frightened away Yu Ban, rode a red rabbit to his side.

Gently patting Zhao Yun on the shoulder, Lu Bu asked, "Isn't Zilong's fight enjoyable?" Why are you still sighing for a long time? ”

"I was about to capture them, but they ran away." Zhao Yun said: "Is Chu Hou annoyed? ”

"As long as they can't follow behind our army and cause trouble for our army, it's not a big deal to let them run." Lu Bu said as if he didn't care at all: "Zilong don't pay attention to them, follow me to chase the army first, and maybe you can also bump into Xiahoudun." ”

Lu Bu mentioned Xiahoudun's name, and Zhao Yun's face looked a little better: "I hope Xiahoudun won't leave again." ”

"Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses." Looking around, Lu Bu said: "Yuzhou will be our territory in the future, I don't want to let the corpses here be everywhere because of today's fighting, so that the plague is rampant." ”

Zhao Yun shouted: "Soldiers, bury the corpse." ”

The cavalry officers and soldiers who pursued Cao's army turned back, and many dismounted and dug pits in the wilderness to bury the bodies of their fallen comrades and Cao's army.

Looking at the direction in which Cao Jun fled, Lu Bu asked Zhao Yun: "How many Cao Jun did we kill in the battle just now?" ”

"There should be seven or eight thousand people." Zhao Yun replied: "There are more Cao troops who have escaped, and Yu Ban wants to gather them to be enemies of our army, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy." ”

Lu Bu nodded: "As long as we kill them, we can rest assured when we attack Xudu." ”

"There's something I don't quite understand." Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu: "Cao Cao originally had more soldiers and horses than us, why did he want to disperse and deploy defenses in various places to resist our army?" ”

"Because we stopped him twice in Dangshan before." Lü Bu said: "Cao Cao thought that as long as they occupied the favorable terrain, they would be able to defeat us and thus end this expedition. ”

"It seems that Cao Cao is thinking wrong this time." Zhao Yun said: "Chu Hou is brave and martial, how can he compare." Not to mention anything else, just say that just now, Chu Hou scared off Yu Ban and the reinforcements he brought with him with just one person, so majestic, how many people in the world can do it? ”

"Are you afraid of me when you are Cao Jun?" Lu Bu asked Zhao Yun with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Zhao Yun replied, "There shouldn't be anyone else here who is enough to make them afraid. ”

"You're fighting the enemy with your soldiers, and you've got the upper hand." Lu Bu said: "Yu Ban also knows that if he rushes up at this time, he will undoubtedly take Cao Jun behind him to death. Yu Ban is not a reckless man, of course he knows how to choose. ”

"What Chu Hou said may be reasonable, but I still feel that he was scared away by Chu Hou alone." Zhao Yun still insisted on his cognition.

Lu Bu didn't say anything more, but a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at the direction of Cao Jun's retreat.

The two men stood on their horses, and in a few moments a cavalry came to their side.

The cavalry bowed his hand to the two of them and said, "Qi Chuhou, our army has obtained a lot of enemy ordnance. The style of the armament is extremely strange, and some of them look like crossbow arrows, but they are much larger than crossbow arrows. ”

"It seems that we have received crossbows and thunderbolts from the enemy in this battle." Lu Bu greeted Zhao Yun: "Zilong will accompany me over to have a look." ”

Zhao Yun agreed, and followed Lu Bu to the place where the crossbow and thunderbolt were captured, under the guidance of the cavalry.

The cavalry led them to a place where a lot of ordnance was piled up.

Seeing the ordnance piled up on the ground, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted.

Walking in front of one of the crossbows, Lu Bu fiddled with them twice and said to Zhao Yun: "Cao Cao's subordinates really have some talents, and the height of the crossbow is actually adjustable. If you want to shoot the air force, just point the crossbow arrow at the sky, and if you need to shoot the enemy on the opposite side, you can put the arrow flat. ”

"Their thunderbolts are also very delicately made." Standing next to a thunderbolt car, Zhao Yun looked at it carefully and said, "I think this kind of thing must be very useful if it is used to attack the city." ”

"The thunderbolt and the crossbow were specially developed by Cao Cao to deal with our air force." Lu Bu said: "Judging from the structure of these two types of armament, the crossbow is not only the natural enemy of the air force, but the cavalry cannot get any advantage in front of them. As for the breakcar, I don't think so. ”

"With these two pieces of ordnance, can we figure out what broke them?" Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, but I sent people to Xiliang earlier, planning to take Ma Jun from Ma's house to Pengcheng." It is said that Ma Jun is good at mechanical arts, and when he arrives in Pengcheng, we can let him find a way to make some changes to these two weapons to achieve the purpose of being more suitable for the battlefield. ”

"Except for Chu Hou, there is no one else in the world who can train the air force." Zhao Yun said: "I feel that if we make these two kinds of weapons, it will not be of much use to us. ”

"Don't underestimate these two weapons." Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun: "Even if the enemy army does not have an air force, we can still use it. ”

Looking at Lu Bu suspiciously, although Zhao Yun didn't quite understand what the use of these two very heavy looking weapons was, he didn't ask anything more.

"Don't think about it anymore." Lu Bu greeted him: "When the soldiers have cleared the battlefield, we will go to catch up with the army as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yun agreed, urging the soldiers to speed up the disposal of the corpse.

However, it took more than half an hour for the cavalry soldiers to dig a lot of deep pits and bury the bodies of a small number of comrades and Cao Jun who died in battle.

Although they were all cavalry, and there were more crossbows and thunderbolts in the ranks, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's marching speed was not very fast.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, they saw a group of Cao Jun appear in front of them.

Those Cao Jun ran in a panic.

Seeing another Xuzhou army coming from the opposite side, he was stunned at first, and then scattered and fled.

Cao Jun discovered Lu Bu and the others, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun also saw them.

"Send someone to get a few alive." Lu Bu instructed Zhao Yun: "I have something to ask them. ”

Zhao Yun immediately selected some cavalry and chased after the Cao army who fled in front.

The team continued to march, but within half an hour, a cavalry dragged the captured Cao army with ropes to Lü Bu.

Looking at the few Cao soldiers who were tied up by ropes, Lu Bu asked them, "Who is your general?" ”

Several Cao Jun lowered their heads, all trembling, and didn't dare to look at him more.

Zhao Yun next to him frowned, and shouted: "Chu Hou asked you, are you all deaf?" ”

The whole body that was drunk by Zhao Yun shivered, and one of Cao Jun replied tremblingly: "We are all under the command of Xiahou Yuanrang......

"Where is Xiahou Yuan?" Lu Bu asked again.

"Scattered." The Cao army replied: "We followed the army of the Marquis of Chu, but we didn't expect that two teams of men and horses would come back. General Xiahou was not the opponent of the two generals who led the troops, and went first. ”

Two teams, it seems that Zhou Yu sent two elites in the Xuzhou army.

"It seems that Xiahoudun has also been killed." Looking at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu said, "Zilong's idea of fighting with him, I'm afraid it can't be achieved." ”

"It's okay if you can't do it." Zhao Yun replied: "I just feel that it's a pity that we ambushed Cao's army and failed to capture even one of the enemy generals. Zhou Gongjin sent troops to attack Xiahoudun, but he also let him run away. It's really annoying to think of this. ”

"Zilong doesn't have to care, there are still many opportunities." Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "When our army enters Xudu, I don't believe that Cao Cao will not do his best to keep it." ”

He waved his hand and commanded the soldiers who were escorting the captives: "Kill them all." ”

"Chu Hou spares his life!" Hearing that they were going to be killed, the Cao army captives cried and begged for mercy.

Lu Bu ignored them and continued to advance with the cavalry with Zhao Yun.

"The Marquis of Chu crusaded against Cao Cao, mostly for the sake of His Majesty." Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu: "But Your Majesty is in the Xudu Palace, in case Cao Cao sees that he is defeated by our army and kills him, how should the Marquis of Chu deal with it?" ”

"What else can I do?" Lu Bu said: "When it comes time to attack Xudu, Taishi Ziyi's airborne troops will be useful. ”

"Chu Hou means to ......" Lu Bu mentioned the airborne troops, and Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.

Smiling at him, Lu Bu said: "Zilong don't think about entering the city with the airborne troops, the airborne troops entered the city to protect His Majesty today." You'll have to lead the cavalry to me as a vanguard. ”

"Chu Hou is making fun of me again." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "When attacking a city, cavalry has never been useful. Attacking Xudu, I'm afraid I can only watch others make contributions from behind. ”

"Attacking the city, the cavalry really won't have much success at first." Lü Bu said: "But when the city gate is opened, the cavalry can drive straight into the city and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. ”

"I probably understand what Chu Hou means." Zhao Yun replied: "It's just that I still think that when the cavalry is attacking the city, the effect it can play is limited. ”

"Zilong, don't be anxious, when the city of Xudu is broken, you will know that the cavalry is not useless when attacking the city." Lu Bu gently patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and said a word of relief.

He said that the cavalry would be useful when attacking the city, so Zhao Yun stopped arguing, and walked forward with him in response.

When the team reached the second half of the night, the scouts in front of them came with the news that Zhou Yu was waiting on the road with the army.

After receiving the news, Lu Bu urged the soldiers to speed up their pace and march towards the place where the army was stationed.

Zhou Yu ordered the trapped camp and the annoying soldiers to cooperate with each other to defeat Xiahoudun, and then he led his army to wait for Lü Bu on the way to Xudu.

Knowing that Lu Bu was coming, Zhou Yu only brought Zhou Tai alone to greet him.

Seeing Lu Bu, Zhou Yu asked, "Why did Chu Hou only arrive now?" ”

"Defeated Cao's army, but inadvertently obtained a lot of their ordnance." Lu Bu said: "Zilong and I both felt that it was a pity to lose it, so we brought it with us." Unexpectedly, because I brought them, I was delayed for a long time. ”

"What Chu Hou got is ......" Lu Bu said that they had obtained Cao Jun's ordnance, and Zhou Yu immediately understood.

"Gong Jin's guess is right." Lu Bu said: "It's the thunderbolt and the crossbow. With these two weapons, I will be able to have people make more suitable killing weapons for use on the battlefield in the future. ”
