Chapter 297: Tiger
Forty miles west of Peiguo, the army from Yanzhou had been encamped for half a month, and the whole land was as usual.
In the big tent, Cao Cao, who was simply dressed in a dress, sat at the back of the long case, looking at the information in his hand, in the middle, Xun You, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and other generals stood there quietly holding their breath and waiting for something, occasionally making eye contact with each other, after a while, there was a sudden bang on the long case, Cao Cao slapped the plain silk on it, he shook off the cover he was wearing, and laughed: "Yuan Shu is no longer harmed this way, the white wolf broke through 40,000 overnight, and the soldiers broke through Daze Township quickly and took Picheng." ”
The generals present naturally understood the meaning of these words, in the past few years, they have run Yanzhou, trained soldiers and horses, exterminated large and small yellow scarves and bandits, defeated Lu Bu, defeated Yang Feng, and now the exploits of breaking 40,000 in one night are indeed incredible.
"Although the soldiers under the Gongsun Dudu are noble and fast, it is difficult for the cavalry to conquer the thick wall of Xiapi City, once the news reaches the hands of Lu Bu, our feint army will be defeated." Cao Hong, as a clan general, stood in the front row and said worriedly, by the way, he mentioned the idea that Lu Bu might directly break our way first.
For a moment, everyone nodded.
"What Zilian said is not unreasonable." Xun You's face was serious, and he arched his hand: "If the news can come here, Lu Bu's army will naturally receive it, and he will definitely withdraw his troops to save him, but he is afraid of being chased and killed by the lord's rank, so he must want to break it with one blow." ”
Cao Cao stared at the lights and squinted, pressed his hand on the table, and the surrounding voices quieted down before he spoke: "Gongda is alert to me, the tiger has a temperament, and naturally he will not sit still, and now all our cavalry has been given to the white wolf, and he is no longer an opponent in the field, what strategy do the generals have to defend against the enemy?" ”
"The last general is willing to use himself as bait to lure the cavalry under Lu Bu's command into the infantry formation!" The voice of the voice was full of power, and the figure of the arch hand was behind the generals, but it was forbidden, and he arched his hand and said: "As long as the wolf rider is entangled, the remaining enemies will not be worried, and the rest of the generals can be short-handed." ”
"Wen Ze said that it is not unreasonable, and the end will think it is feasible!"
"No, Lu Bu still has Chen Gong by his side, how can the tiger be trapped so easily......"
Some people agreed, and some voices opposed, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the first place, closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment, and opened his eyes: "Wen Qian and Miaocai don't have to argue." Under the slightly frowning brow, his eyes showed fierceness, and his rough palms pressed against the table to prop up, and an indescribable power of freedom made the two generals in the tent who disagreed shut up.
Cao Cao picked up the single clothes on the ground and put them on, his eyes swept over them, and he raised his hand: "Do you think Lu Bu will wait until tomorrow to fight with us in a dignified and honest manner?" If you receive the news that Xiapi is besieged, you will only defeat the opponent as soon as possible, maybe he is already on his way, and the generals will go back immediately, and we will set up an ambush in the front camp and surround him in the camp. ”
"Yes!"
The generals bowed their hands, and the sound of thunder shook the tent in unison.
Outside, the night was as usual, and it became deep.
In the whole Cao camp, from lively to silent, people seem to have fallen asleep, still scattered by the speckled bonfires in a few places, reflecting the motionless straw men standing there in armor and clothes, most of the soldiers in armor quietly out of the tent, through tents, chariots, silently hiding their figures, holding weapons and holding their breath and waiting.
On the arrow tower somewhere in the back village, Cao Cao stood on it and looked at the quiet front camp in the distance, perhaps confronting Lu Bu again, feeling excited, and brushing the wooden fence with his palm, "Gongda, did you say that Lu Bu will come?" He whispered.
Next to him, Xun You just nodded and responded silently.
.......
Miles of camps, the light of torches swayed through the forest, two groups of more than a dozen Cao soldiers with torches, staggered patrol, in the distance to the east, the army wrapped horses' hooves walked in the field by night, and the foot soldiers who followed closely behind also wrapped their shoes, and walked in silence.
The wind blows through the grass.
In the darkness, the wind blew, and Lu Bu raised his head.
Not long after, he retracted his gaze from the sky, looked at the silhouette of Cao Ying in the darkness in front of him, stroked the impatient Chitu, raised his arm, and Fang Tian's halberd roared in the air with a hum, pointing to the opposite side.
"Order the whole army to level the Cao camp-"
The murderous words fell, and the crimson war horse under him began to step out of its hooves, and the cavalry hidden in the black around them rode up one after another spears, and the dull sound of horses' hooves suddenly roared, and countless horses' hooves flew and charged towards the gate in front.
A team patrolling outside Cao's camp swooped out of the forest to intercept the torrent, and a Dubo stepped on a few steps, jumped up, and slashed a knight rushing forward, and when he fell, in the shaking field of vision, a Fang Tian painting halberd was enlarged in his pupils.
The upside-down corpse dragged the blood and spilled a huge arc, the torches fell to the ground, and the horse's hooves stepped over from it, the fiery red cloak was dazzling, and when the halberd slashed an enemy, Lu Bu's voice roared in front of him: "Kill-"
"Kill—"
Boom rumble, the horse's hooves shook the earth, several cavalry in the front row followed by a roar, directly hit the gate with flesh and blood, like the momentum of the wild waves hitting the reef, the next second, there was a loud noise, it was a picture of people turning over on their backs, the horse's head, chest, flesh and blood burst and splashed, the hot blood and the war horse's mournful neighing with the wooden fence breaking, and the collapsed gate scattered on the ground together.
The wolf rider who was injured in the collision got up from the ground, holding a spear, and roared at Cao Ying's camp with blood on his face, and in the rear, riding a red war horse, Lu Bu, who was wearing a chain armor, passed him, and more cavalry swarmed and charged from both sides.
"Cao thief! Come out and die—"
The leading figure waved the halberd, cut off the Cao pawn standing by the bonfire, and the words like a tiger's roar exploded in this camp, but what caught his eye was the flying hay, and the cavalry who charged in picked up the tent, which was empty, stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shouted out: "Lord, it's an empty camp, there is an ambush——"
"Stay!" In the darkness, in a corner, Xiahou Yuan held his bow and arrows, staring at the figure riding a red war horse in front of the bonfire, his lips murmured, his fingers loosened, and the bowstring trembled.
The sound of whooshing flies in the air.
On horseback, Lu Bu was frowning at the scarecrow, a faint voice came in the air, and suddenly pulled the reins, cut off the halberd, and with a bang, the arrow broke in two and fell to the ground, "Rats-"
The cavalry that rushed into Cao's camp and scattered in all directions knew that they had been ambushed, but at this time they did not hear Lü Bu's order to retreat, and the foot soldiers who followed behind them still spread towards the front village and wantonly set fires. In the distance, Cao Cao on the arrow tower frowned, "Lu Bu's martial arts are too powerful, pass the order, don't fight with him alone, and ambush them all!" ”
Woo –
The horn sounded, the war drums suddenly beat, and the soldiers and horses of the Cao army, who were hiding their bodies and ambushes all around, rushed out in an instant, and the soldiers who had already been ready rushed over with shouts, and the people gathered into a terrifying wave, overlapping and surrounding.
"Lu Bu has a brave and unscrupulous horseman! You are in the scheme, and you will not get off the horse and be bound! On the side, Le Jin held an iron spear and ran straight into the soldiers and horses, and on the opposite side, the tall and mighty figure that had been silent swept over with a halberd, and after a few clicks, the iron helmet flew out, Le Jin lay on the back of the horse, and hurriedly retreated, with a hot pain on his face.
The horse's hooves and dirt swirled, and some jumped up and pulled a wolf rider off the horse, and were hacked to death to the ground by several Cao soldiers who came from behind, and countless figures were surging with shouts.
"Lu Bu! Cao Zilian is here! ”
"Xiahou Yuan came over to ask for advice—"
"Death to the tiger! Li Dian is also here! ”
......
Lu Bu rode on a war horse, swept past the Cao generals and horses who rushed towards him with a fierce roar, and then, the painting halberd raised and crossed his side, and issued a short sound: "Heh....", the next second, "Hahaha-" The corners of his mouth showed his white teeth, he laughed loudly, the tip of the halberd swept around, and then held it high into the sky.
"Wait for the rats, there are many people, how can I, Lu Bu, be afraid! Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy and cut through the Cao camp—"
The halberd fell, and with a bang, it smashed on a blade, and an oncoming Cao general flew away, and his voice roared like thunder: "Let's kill!" ”
