Chapter 140: Cao Hong's Death!
Killing the sky!
Cao Cao watched Lu Bujun rush out of Puyang City, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart. Although Guo Jia discussed with himself to try to lure Lu Bujun out of Puyang City, but now he hasn't done anything, and the other party has already rushed out of the city to die?
"Fengxiao, isn't it because Lu Bu was injured, so his brain is stupid?" Cao Cao laughed loudly at Guo Jia beside him, and looked at Lu Bujun's eyes full of playfulness. If his 45,000 troops could not swallow the 15,000 Lu Bu army in the field, then he might as well die headlong.
"There must be demons when things go wrong, and the lord must not be careless." Unlike Cao Cao's relaxation, Guo Jia, who has always laughed, was unexpectedly serious at this time.
"Oh? Fengxiao, you have a lot of heart. Cao Cao was also surprised to see Guo Jia so serious, but he didn't pay much attention to his advice.
But soon, Cao Cao realized that something was wrong. The offensive of Lü Bu's army was concentrated, and fifteen thousand men were lined up in a dense manner. Moreover, Lü Bu's army seemed to be only concerned with destroying the enemy forces in front, and the pressure and attack on the flanks were indeed completely ignored. Although the soldiers on both sides of Lu Bu's army suffered a lot of damage as a result, their entire army posture always maintained an advancing momentum, and the speed did not stop at all.
Soon, Cao Cao's front army began to be unable to withstand the oppression of the enemy army and was forced to retreat.
"Lord!" Guo Jia seemed to suddenly think of something, and a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead.
"What's wrong? What does Bonghyo see? Cao Cao saw that the situation was different, and his tone became much more solemn.
"I'm afraid Lu Bu is not going to fight against our army, his goal is ...... I'm afraid it's you, my lord. Guo Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a condensed voice.
"Me?" After Guo Jia mentioned this, Cao Cao quickly understood Lu Bu's intentions.
"It seems that this Lu Bu really values me, and he is expelling such a big battle just to get my head!" Cao Cao laughed again, but his smile this time was somewhat self-deprecating. Although there was still a joke in his words, his expression became extremely solemn.
"Order Miaocai and Zixiao, let them lead the army to block the enemy head-on, and be sure that they must not advance half a step further!"
After Cao Cao learned of Lu Bu's true intentions, he no longer looked down on the other party as much as before. To be sure, in the current situation, concentrating all forces to attack one's own Chinese army is probably the only option that can win victory. However, to make such a decision under the premise of such a huge disparity in the military strength of the two sides, the courage and courage of his people can definitely be said to be outstanding in the world. If Cao Cao and Lu Bu were to reverse their current situation, Cao Cao might not be able to make such a choice. However, Cao Cao is still very confident in his army, even in the same quantity, Cao Cao believes that his army is better than Lu Bu's army in terms of quality, not to mention that now in terms of numbers, his army has the upper hand, what about Lu Bu's army concentrating troops to launch a sudden attack? There is absolutely no chance of winning!
Lu Bu's army marched forward bravely, and the one who took the lead was none other than Lu Bu, the unparalleled fierce general in the world!
The flying general Lu Bu is the backbone of the entire army. Although such an army that worships a single person is likely to collapse quickly due to the defeat of its own people, as was the case on the night when Lü Bu fell from the head of Dongjun. Although Cao's army is inseparable from Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao is unfortunately killed in the army, his army can at least achieve the most basic advance and retreat under the command of other generals, and will not collapse all at once. However, at this moment and moment, Lu Bu, as the backbone, has indeed played a great positive role, as long as he looks at the majestic back of Lu Bu in front of him, the soldiers' chests can give birth to infinite pride and courage.
"Lu Bu, don't think about taking another step!" The first to appear in front of Lu Bu was Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong, who knew very well that he was by no means Lu Bu's opponent in terms of martial arts, so he would never dare to have the idea of competing with Lu Bu. At this time, Cao Hong's task was to lead the 3,000 troops behind him to slightly delay the advance of Lü Bu's army, and wait for Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to lead their own troops to arrive and engage Lü Bu's army.
"Look for death!" Lu Bu shouted violently, clamped his legs, and praised the red rabbit horse to speed up and go straight to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong didn't expect Lu Bu to come straight to him, looking at Lu Bu's murderous aura, he couldn't help but feel scared in his heart. At this moment, Cao Hong already had the idea of retreating, but he was afraid that his retreat would cause the three thousand people behind him to flee, so he was undecided.
Lu Bu's boasted red rabbit horse is what a divine horse, although Cao Hong's hesitation is only a very short moment, but at this moment, Lu Bu has galloped in front of Cao Hong.
Seeing Lu Bu like a divine soldier descending from the sky, Cao Hong's shocked look jumped on his face.
Lu Bu Fangtian's halberd swept out, and Cao Hong didn't even have time to react, so he was swept in the waist by the halberd handle. I saw Cao Hong's entire body flying up in the air, sliding in the air for nearly two meters before falling heavily to the ground.
At this time, Cao Hong was not dead, only seriously injured, but soon he was tragic. Lu Bu didn't even glance at Cao Hong, who was knocked away by him in one fell swoop, and just rode forward alone. Fifteen thousand men followed closely behind him, with the cavalry at the forefront of the army. Poor Cao Hong didn't even have time to stand up before he was trampled into flesh by countless horses' hooves.
The three thousand men behind him, most of them were crossbowmen, supplemented by a small number of infantry, to block the cavalry formation in front of Lu Bu's army. But now Cao Hong died in the enemy formation in just a moment, and the three thousand people suddenly lost their command and immediately fell into chaos.
Lu Bu pointed in front of his halberd, and the army rushed forward, leaving behind the corpses of Cao Jun's soldiers along the way.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and his nails pierced his skin. He and Cao Hong are brothers, and they are not shallow in their affection, and now they see Cao Hong's miserable end with their own eyes, and they can't help but feel sad in their hearts.
At the same time, Cao Cao felt a little panicked because of the rapid advance speed of Lu Bu's army.
"Miaocai and Zixiao haven't arrived yet...... As soon as the words fell, it seemed that he was afraid that the two of them would get the same fate as Cao Hong, and hurriedly said to Dian Wei, who was guarding him, "You also go to help quickly, be sure to resist Lu Bu!" ”
Dian Wei heard this, and in order to respond immediately, he wanted to speak up.
"Don't worry, with Zhong Kang here, I won't have any big deals. And that Lu Bu is brave and crowns the world, if he is allowed to do so, he must be removed! However, before Dian Wei could speak, Cao Cao interrupted him beforehand. Cao Cao knew what Dian Wei wanted to say, and Dian Wei was now serving as his own guard, and his most important duty was to protect his own safety, not to fight on the battlefield.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Dian Wei nodded, said a promise, and then rode his horse to the enemy formation. He is a general under Cao Cao, although he is responsible for the guard, but after all, he still has to be based on Cao Cao's orders. Besides, what Cao Cao said is right, with Xu Chu here, it is not easy to threaten Cao Cao's life.
Xu Chu is the warrior who led his clan to defect on the way back to Yanzhou with Cao Cao's army, and his martial arts are as high as Dian Wei. Cao Cao was overjoyed, taking it as a tiger and sharing the responsibility of guarding with Dian Wei.
At this time, in the front two armies, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren's troops had also started a confrontation with Lu Bu's army.
