Chapter 104: Rescue (4)
Not to mention that Lu Rui and the others on that side are about to arrive at the battlefield, but the results on this side have already come out.
Because the number of the Yellow Turban Army was too large, it was not easy to rush in, and no matter how hard Cao Cao and Zhu Jun tried, they were still unable to intercept Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao before they ran to the altar.
Seeing that Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao had run to the altar, Zhu Jun knew that this time the plan had failed, and without saying a word, he immediately led his soldiers to retreat, if he waited until Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao released the demon art, then his soldiers and horses would never have a chance to survive again, the horror of the demon art Zhu Jun had really experienced, even if he took the soldiers to break through to the death, it was absolutely impossible to have half a chance of survival, and the final outcome could only be the annihilation of the whole army, If it really comes to that ending, Zhu Jun is afraid that he will not be able to turn a blind eye to nine deaths.
Although it is said that after fighting for so many days, Cao Cao has never seen Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao use the power of the altar, in Cao Cao's impression, when Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao performed witchcraft, it was when the two of them were together, so after seeing Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao approaching the altar, they did not immediately react to retreat.
However, Cao Cao was not a fool, when he saw Zhu Jun leading the troops of the headquarters to retreat immediately, Cao Cao immediately reacted and asked the troops and horses of the headquarters to retreat immediately. Cao Cao didn't know what that altar was for, but Cao Cao knew that the current Zhu Jun was already at the end of the crossbow, that is to say, if Zhu Jun didn't work hard now, the rest would be a dead end, so even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, Zhu Jun would not choose to retreat at this time, since Zhu Jun chose to retreat, it must be that he no longer had any expectations for this operation, which means that he was only afraid that something bad would happen next, so Cao Cao also decisively ordered a retreat.
Although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are few, they are all elite, and Cao Cao's army is not short of food like Zhu Jun, the soldiers can't eat enough, and the combat effectiveness is still at their peak, so when they rush out, the speed of Cao Cao's army is much faster than the speed of Zhu Jun's army.
After Cao Cao's troops withdrew, the battlefield behind was once again shrouded in black fog, but because Cao Cao's men and horses had been withdrawn from it, it did not cause any additional casualties, but Zhu Jun was different, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was not as good as Cao Cao's army, not to mention, and because of the lack of grain and grass, the combat effectiveness of the army was not as good as before, so it did not withdraw from the black fog in time.
Of course, if we talk about the loss of soldiers and horses, the losses of Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are actually much greater than those of Zhu Jun, almost several times that of Zhu Jun's army, and after this battle, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's army have killed 10,000 people.
It's just that Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao won't take it too seriously because they have a lot of men and horses, plus their main combat power is their demon arts, as for those Yellow Turban soldiers, they don't expect to be of much use, after fighting for so long, they have also discovered that these Yellow Turban soldiers have a great lack of combat effectiveness, so Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao didn't expect these soldiers to be able to do anything for them.
After Cao Cao retreated, he looked at the black fog behind him, and said with palpitations: "I didn't expect Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to still have such a hand, but I underestimated them. ”
"Cao Gong, what should we do now?" A soldier walked up and asked Cao Cao.
"Let's go back first in the long run, after such a battle, I am afraid that Zhu Jun's army will be hit harder, and now it is estimated that it has come to the point of life and death, I am afraid that there is not much time left for us, with the people in our hands, it is almost impossible to attack the city, and we must solve Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao in the shortest possible time. I can only discuss it with Zhicai when I go back. Cao Cao sighed and retreated in the direction of his military camp.
After returning to his camp, he suddenly received a report from a soldier that he had found another group of soldiers and horses, and he was not sure whether it was friend or foe, but that he was coming from the direction of Chenliu.
"Oh, do you know how many centaurs there are?" Cao Cao asked the soldier.
"The preliminary estimate should be about 20,000, and the font size they typed is a Lu character." The soldier said to Cao Cao.
"Lu Zi? Could it be the Lu Rui who broke Zhang Jiao's demon art in Guangzong before? If it was really him, then he should be saved this time, but I don't know what this Lu Rui planned. Cao Cao thought to himself.
To be honest, Cao Cao would not be willing to share half of his merits with Lu Rui, but Cao Cao also knew that in his current form, it was not a realistic thing for him to swallow the attacks that broke Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao alive one by one, so he had to retreat to the next best thing and let himself be able to share a piece of the merit this time, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not even be able to enjoy a piece of the pie.
"If it's really Lu Rui's troops who have arrived, I guess I'll have to visit it in person, but I want to see what kind of ability this young man who can exterminate Zhang Jiao in Guangzong has." Cao Cao said secretly in his heart.
"Lord, it looks like the previous battlefield in front, what should I do next?" After Lu Rui and the others arrived at their destination, Qin Qiong asked Lu Rui.
"Well, let's camp on the spot! By the way, Shubao, you and my uncle will go with me to the barracks over there to have a look, I want to visit that Mr. Cao Mengde. Lu Rui said to Shubao.
Qin Qiong nodded when he heard this, and after arranging the manpower for camping, he and Liu Bowen accompanied Lu Rui towards Cao Cao's camp.
"Cao Gong, three people from that team just now came over and asked to see Cao Gong." At this time, Cao Cao was discussing with Xi Zhicai how to ask Lu Rui to get the most benefits, but at this time, a soldier walked in and said to Cao Cao.
"Oh, I'm really thinking about how to go to him, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door himself, so things will be much easier." Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said.
"Well, that's right, but it's better for Cao Gong to be cautious, it is said that the strategist under Lu Rui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is better to be careful." Xi Zhicai said to Cao Cao.
"Well, what Zhicai said makes sense, let's go! Let's go out together and meet this kid for a while. With that, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai walked out.
Lu Rui saw two people coming over, and before he could speak, Cao Cao introduced himself first and said, "Hehe, presumably this little general is General Lu Rui Lu!" It's really a hero out of a young man, I heard that General Lu was able to destroy Zhang Jiao's army at such an age, it really made me admire it very much, in Cao Cao, the word Mengde, this is my friend, Xi Zhong, the word Zhicai. Cao Cao introduced to Lu Rui.
Hearing this, Lu Rui was shocked, but he didn't expect that Xi Zhicai would now have taken refuge in Cao ****, which was several years earlier than in the original book! It seems that this time Yingchuan is not only benefiting from the accident, but even Cao Cao is also a beneficiary, there is not much confidence that Cao Cao can be eaten completely, and now there is another drama Zhicai, I am afraid that the possibility is even more minimal.
"System, let me check the data of Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai." Lu Rui secretly gave an order and said.
"Ding! Testing, please ...... later"
"Ding! Cao Cao at his peak - Force: 78, Command: 99, Intelligence: 95, Politics: 96. ”
"Cao Cao's special attribute traitorous male has been detected: the capable minister who rules the world, the traitor male in troubled times, when Cao Cao has power to a certain extent, intelligence +3, politics +4."
"At present, Cao Cao's data are - force: 78, command: 97, intelligence: 95, politics: 94."
After hearing Cao Cao's various data, Lu Rui couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought to himself: "I really deserve to be the founder of Cao Wei, I don't know how much better this attribute is than Liu Bei, the commander of 99 I now only have Meng Heng in my hands to compete with him, and it is still in the case of a guard battle, and other battles will not be Cao Cao's opponent, plus the assistance of many think tanks, in the future, this Cao Cao will only be stronger than Liu Bei!" ”
