Chapter Twenty-Three: The Four Heroes Fight Lu Bu
Two days later, at noon, the princes of the Eighth Route who had gone out to conquer the Tiger Prison Pass had already arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, and the army without any disguise had naturally been known by Dong Jun long ago, and when the Eighth Route Army set foot on the plain outside the Pass, the 100,000 troops were already waiting outside.
Seeing this, the princes frowned, so what is the use of a surprise attack? It is completely a matter of putting the strength of the two armies on the table and confronting them head-on, and such losses are undoubtedly the greatest.
The princes also raised objections, but Xu Zisheng directly refused, and Cao Cao did not express his position, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Xu Zisheng's opinion, and the princes suddenly had no choice, it was not good to disobey the military order, and they could only bite the bullet.
Cao Cao and Xu Zisheng stood side by side in front of the formation, without any communication with each other, and their eyes were on the enemy's 100,000 army.
Mo Shuyan, who stayed behind Cao Cao, was shocked in his heart, according to Zhang Lie, Xu Zisheng had talked to Cao Cao before the army of the Eighth Route Princes was about to enter the sphere of influence of Dong Jun, and the content of the conversation was unknown, and the result was that Cao Cao acquiesced to Xu Zisheng's statement.
Mo Shuyan put his hands together, inserted them into the wide sleeves of his coat, and stared at Xu Zisheng silently, quite curious about how Xu Zisheng persuaded Cao Cao.
I already knew that Cao Cao was a person who could write and be good at martial arts in history, and when it came to strategic ability, he would not lose a few points compared to Zhou Yu, right and wrong, good and bad, Cao Cao could still distinguish between good and bad.
According to Xu Zisheng's idea, although the strength of the attack on the Tiger Pass is greater than that of the Dong army, relying on the fortifications on the pass, coupled with Lu Bu's bravery, the chance of victory is very small, which is also the reason for the opposition of the princes.
At this moment, before Dong Jun, Lu Bu, who was wearing a purple and gold crown, a red brocade and hundred flower robes, and a beast-faced chain armor, held a Fang Tian painting halberd, and mocked at the army of the princes of the Eighth Road: "Who will fight?" â
The red rabbit horse under the seat was majestic and roared along with Lu Bu's words, and it seemed that he was also laughing at the army of the princes of the Eighth Route and laughing at their incompetence.
Gongsun Zan was furious when he saw this, and just wanted to fight, but was stopped by Cao Cao, and when he was puzzled, Xu Zisheng beside Cao Cao shouted: "The army is attacking, all press up!" â
Hearing this, not only the princes were stunned, but even Mo Shuyan was stunned on the spot, and everyone even wanted to ask directly, does Xu Zisheng understand military affairs? Where did the whole army attack as soon as it came up, but Cao Cao, who was the leader, did not question it, and the princes were not easy to say, so they waved their hands one after another, and the army behind them suddenly rushed towards Lu Bu with the sound of horns.
"Coward!" Lu Bu snorted lightly and shouted to the army behind him: "Follow me into battle and kill all the enemies!" â
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Dong army was centered on Lu Bu, decreasing on both sides, forming a charge like an arrow, rushing towards the army of the princes of the Eighth Road.
In a moment, the two armies that charged collided together, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, like a millstone crushing the two armies together, and for a time, countless casualties were inflicted.
LĂź Bu's courage was invincible, and the famous Hanoi general Fang Yue and the deceivedly guarded Zhang Yang general Mu Shun, who tried to stop his advance, were all stabbed under the horse by LĂź Bu with a halberd, and were trampled into mud by the iron hooves of the two armies.
This sharp "arrow" hit the army of the princes of the Eighth Route without any pause, taking the lives of countless generals and almost crossing the army.
Seeing this, the princes of the Eighth Route looked sideways, looked at Xu Zisheng who did not change his face, and were quite dissatisfied in their hearts, so it seems that this battle will be lost, if it were not for Xu Zisheng as a military advisor, I am afraid that he would have been killed by the princes.
Even Cao Cao, who knew about it, frowned, Lu Bu's combat power was far beyond imagination, there was no enemy at all, could Xu Zisheng's backhand really succeed?
And Mo Shuyan, who was behind him, sighed slightly, and suddenly understood Xu Zisheng's thoughts in his heart, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were not here, what did Xu Zisheng want to do, it was obvious to reveal, you must know that Sanying can retreat Lu Bu, Siying?
Mo Shuyan's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, and his eyes suddenly became solemn, could it be that Xu Zisheng wanted to capture Lu Bu alive for his own use? Lu Bu is not a die-hard person, if Xu Zisheng really gets Lu Bu, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.
Taking a deep look at Xu Zisheng, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, Mo Shuyan was suddenly powerless, and could only hope that Lu Bu's combat power was strong enough not to be captured.
On the battlefield, Lu Bu led the army to penetrate the army and come out, and suddenly his heart was relieved, and his joy was revealed.
Suddenly, a Zhangba snake spear stabbed out from the side, and came straight to Lu Bu's door.
Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and he lay back without hesitation, dodging the blow, but he saw the Qinglong Glaive Knife held by Guan Yu slashing horizontally towards his knees.
With a loud shout, Lu Bu hit the ground with a halberd, rose into the air, the blade of the knife could be slashed, and Lu Bu was cut off a section of his clothes, and the red rabbit horse under the seat did not have time to stop, and rushed out of the army, surrounded by soldiers, unable to rush back, and suddenly screamed non-stop, and his voice was quite urgent.
For no reason, Lu Bu, who had just landed, slashed at the double sword cross, and looked at it, but it was Liu Bei, who shouted again, Lu Bu held the halberd and went out, and the halberd body hit the intersection of the two swords, directly forcing Liu Bei to retreat.
Behind him, the Zhangba Snake Spear and the Qinglong Glaive Knife took advantage of this opportunity to force one after another, Lu Bu rose up in a rage, held the halberd in both hands, rose into the air, and struck the Zhangba Snake Spear and the Qinglong Glaive Knife to the ground.
Unexpectedly, a little cold light flashed in the oblique ground, and stabbed directly into Lu Bu's waist, Lu Bu was in pain, and looked sideways, it was Zhao Yun who sneaked up with a gun.
With a loud shout, Lu Bu pulled out the silver spear, threw the halberd horizontally, and forced everyone back, and the four of them were suddenly distributed in the southeast and northwest, and surrounded Lu Bu, as for the "arrow" army led by Lu Bu, it lost its sharp "arrow", and had been repelled by the army of the princes of the Eighth Road, unable to meet Lu Bu, and in an instant, Lu Bu was isolated and helpless, far away from the Tiger Prison Pass.
Seeing this situation, the princes of the Eight Roads suddenly lost their anger and showed joy on their faces, in this way, capturing Lu Bu is equivalent to cutting off Dong Zhuo's lifeline, and the day of Dong Zhuo's demise is not too late.
And Cao Cao, although his face was also happy, but looking at Liu Bei's three brothers, his eyes were full of attention, if these three brothers were willing to help me achieve the great cause of Kuangfu Han, it would be a big help, if I was selfish, I am afraid it would be a big resistance.
Cao Cao's expression was seen by Mo Shuyan, and Mo Shuyan's face suddenly froze, his eyes were like a streamer, and he looked at Xu Zisheng deeply.
It seems that he still underestimated Xu Zisheng, not only wanted to capture Lu Bu alive, but also inadvertently made Cao Cao pay attention to the three brothers of Liu Bei, making it difficult for the three brothers of Liu Bei to break away from Cao Cao, and maybe they would inadvertently directly strangle the Shu Kingdom in infancy.
