Chapter 466: Cao Cao retreated

Lu Bu slowly held the local heavenly painting halberd in front of him, and the battle was one day and one night, and Lu Bu watched the battle motionless for a day and a night. Lift the halberd and move the limbs numbly. It's been a long day and a night, but it's gone so fast.

On the street, the corpses of the Chang'an soldiers and the corpses of the Cao soldiers were stacked with each other, and there was no end in sight, and under the feet was a thick layer of dry and cracked stone roads that exuded the stench of rotten meat.

The shouting and killing in the distance still did not stop, and in the looming, the shouts of both sides could be vaguely heard. Behind Lu Bu were columns of soldiers who were covered in blood and resting, extremely tired. With his halberd in hand, LΓΌ Buti decided to launch a final charge against Cao's army.

The halberd rolled up a gust of cold wind in the sky, and when the horse's reins were lifted, the red rabbit horse man neighed and turned around beautifully. Lu Bu greeted his exhausted soldiers and asked, "Is the battle or stop?" ”

"Fight for Chang'an, fight to the point of a soldier!"

The soldier shouted loudly, and the cheers soared into the sky. Pounding on the black and swarthy iron shield in his hand, in Xiangcheng, the dull sound of impact overshadowed the fierce fighting.

Lu Bu's calm face gradually sharpened, and he clenched the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his palm.

"Charge the whole army!"

The Chang'an army was led by Lu Bu, and the last of the new forces also joined the battle. Arrows flew all over the sky, and the sound of war drums shook the earth.

Cao Jun heard the momentum of the other army, and several Cao generals rushed out, but before they could see the terrain clearly, they jumped in front of him on a fiery red war horse, and several heads of Dou Da people flew up. Wherever Lu Bu passed, Cao's army was in turmoil, and the defense line collapsed overnight.

Several Cao soldiers shrank their necks in fright, turned around and shouted: "Lu Bu personally killed and rushed into battle, this side can't hold it, support immediately, support immediately!" ”

Cao Cao led several generals and scribes to look over, his pupils contracted for a while, and Lu Bu led a group of generals and guards to cut the Cao army's battle formation into a huge cripple, and countless elite guards behind him were desperately charging into it. A large group of Cao troops besieged the past, but Lu Bu led the generals to fight to the death and did not retreat, Lu Bu fought terrifyingly, destroying the Cao army everywhere he passed, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu killed dozens of people under Cao Cao's gaze, and countless Cao soldiers came with spears, shaking their spears but did not dare to come forward to stab, as if Lu Bu was as terrible as a butcher in front of him.

The rest of the tired Chang'an army followed Lu Bu to open the ground and enter, followed by a huge number of wounded soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, all mixed together and poured into the Cao army's battle line.

Cao's army collapsed at the first touch, and finally, the entire defense line was like a burly man who had been cut out of a huge hole. A gap in Cao's defensive line finally appeared that could not be repaired in time.

"Prime Minister, let's go!"

Seeing that something was wrong, several Cao Cao's henchmen rushed forward to hold Cao Cao and was about to break through.

Cao Cao's short beard was like a steel needle, his mouth seemed to be cracked, and he swung hard to support his two guards left and right, and the guards were thrown into the crowd like straw men. Cao Cao drew his sword angrily, and his voice was like thunder:

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined! Whoever is loyal to me, slay the enemy with me! ”

A sharp sword in Cao Cao's hand instantly slashed over the several guards in front of him, not retreating, but advancing. While shouting, he chopped over which slowly fell backwards and crashed into Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao held his sword in his hand and charged the enemy's ranks, and Cao's army was greatly encouraged. The last shred of Cao Jun's courage erupted into a roar, and Cao Jun rushed like a gap.

"Fight to the death!" Cao Jun fiercely sounded slogans wave after wave, stepping on the slogan of resoluteness, and launched a brave counterattack against the Chang'an army.

The Cao army resisted violently, the Chang'an army surged violently, and the battle became more and more fierce, and each other did not care about their own lives, even before dying, they had to hand the sharp blade in their hands into the enemy's body. Casualties on both sides have increased like never before.

Two hours, just two hours, the streets of Xiangcheng were densely covered with a layer of corpses. The two sides were deadlocked in the battlefield with Lu Bu and Cao Cao as the center.

The huge casualties exceeded Lu Budi's psychological endurance. It was a battle without victory.

Lu Bu slowly dragged Fang Tian's halberd diagonally, and the blood was dripping to the ground like a twine. Lu Budi was anxious, but he knew that he could not withdraw his troops now, and he could not retreat, and he had to work hard until he defeated the Cao army or was annihilated by the Cao army.

"Immediately sent an order to Xu Shu, the military division of the rear army, ordered Yan Yan, the second general of Lu Meng to supervise the battle, the whole army is only allowed to advance and not retreat, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Lu Bu finished giving instructions to a member of the blood-stained guards around him, and shouted loudly: "Fight to the death and break the city!" ”

"Whoosh ......"

The two wings of the Qiang Hu soldiers shot a sparse rain of arrows at the Cao army, the elites of both sides were exhausted, and the inferior Qiang Hu miscellaneous soldiers were like elites, and the powerful arrows suddenly pierced the cuirass of the Cao army in pieces, and the Cao army that fell to the ground was killed one after another.

Cao Jun was shot with a balloon first, burning his own formation, the battle array was chaotic, and the morale of the army was far inferior to that of the Chang'an army. When Cao Cao personally went into battle to supervise the fierce morale of the fighting station and gradually deplete again, once the casualties exceeded the psychological capacity of Cao's army, the collapse of the whole line was in sight.

Although the two sides were in a stalemate, although they briefly blocked Lu Budi's offensive, only Lu Bu was the only famous general who went into battle to fight and kill, and Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Yan Yan, LΓΌ Meng and other fierce generals have not yet appeared.

As soon as the thoughts in his heart emerged, Cao Cao's face fused. He was good at using soldiers, and he was extremely suspicious, and suddenly felt that the sky was dark: "Is it? ”

Cao Cao looked up to watch the battle again, only to see that Lu Bu personally rushed into battle and asked several generals of his side to go up to fight and contain him, and it was the whole army that went out to block the soldiers brought by Lu Bu, and Cao Cao broke down in a cold sweat.

"Lu Bu, this is a tired enemy's plan. Do the generals know where Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and the others will fight? Cao Cao suddenly roared and asked the generals around him.

"I haven't been rewarded."

"Could it be ......" Xun You suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that Lu Bu used a huge number of miscellaneous soldiers to exhaust our army, and the elite waited for our army to be exhausted, and suddenly killed when our army was exhausted, and defeated our army in one fell swoop?" ”

Only then did the generals find out that after a few days of fighting, they had fallen into the camp, and the elite troops such as the crossbow battalion had never gone into battle once, and they felt more and more that Lu Bu was going to leave the elite troops until the moment to deal a fatal blow to Cao's army.

Thinking of this possibility, Cao Jiang was also scared into a cold sweat, and his back was cold. Everyone looked at each other, Cao Cao screamed, rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, and a bead of blood and sweat overflowed on his forehead.

Cheng Yu was the first to react, stepped forward to help Cao Cao, and shouted in horror: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we will have a plan to break the enemy." On that day, the medical craftsman Hua Tuo once said that if the prime minister has a headache and the old disease recurs, the medicine stone is hopeless, please don't worry about it. ”

Cao Cao raised his head with difficulty and looked at the crowd rushing to kill, slightly tired Lu Bu, tremblingly pointed at Lu Bu and said: "When Lu Bu is tired and retreats, it is the time when the elite is dispatched, and it is also the time when we wait for the whole army to be annihilated, while Lu Bu still has the strength to spare, retreat immediately!" Don't make a noise, give the order, and all the soldiers who bravely kill the enemy will be doubled in silver, double their rations, and beat drums and cheers! ”

Cao Cao felt that he had seen through Lu Bu's tricks, but Cao Bu's army was exhausted, the elite was all dead, and there was no way to resolve Lu Budi's layout, in order to resist Lu Budi's crazy attack, Cao Bu's army was all dispatched, and even the miscellaneous soldiers/grain transport soldiers were not left, and Lu Bu still had several battalions of the most elite soldiers who were recuperating, and this defeat was decided.

Since there is no longer any argument about the defeat, Cao Cao would rather bear the determination of the people of the world and the heroic spirit of the strong man to occupy all his body and mind. Cao Cao was defeated in the battle of Xiangcheng, but as long as he saved his life and returned to Hebei, with the large population of Jizhou and the wild land, Cao Cao still had the confidence to make a comeback. This is Cao Cao's lifelong conquest, tempering and forging local beliefs, never giving up, and it is also this kind of mentality, many times in his life, turning danger into refuge, turning evil into good fortune, finding a way to survive on the desperate road of the whole army, turning defeat into victory, and finally defeating the opponent.

"Generals, soldiers supervising the war, go all out to kill the enemy, this battle is a battle to determine who is the master of the world, and there is no room for loss!" Cao Cao was worried that Lu Bu's elite would come out at any time, and he wanted to flee immediately, but he couldn't show this thought, he wanted to create an illusion for Lu Bujun, and he wanted to show Cao Jun his determination to resist. Cao Cao thought that he was calculating, but he didn't know that Lu Bu also underestimated Cao Cao's means of motivating soldiers on the battlefield, and sent Gao Shun, Huang Zhong and several battalions of elites to the distance, and ambushed Cao Cao's retreat.

Cao Cao personally manipulated the drum vertebrae, and struck a stick on the war drum, and the war drum let out a furious roar.

In the sound of drums, Yu Ban lifted the war knife, held it tightly, his big mouth was cracked, and he shouted angrily to the sky: "Kill!" ”

Cao Jun followed Cao Cao's drums and strode forward. Cao Cao's morale rose again, and Lu Bu was shocked. Lu Bu fought in the south and the north, and the horses were all his life, and he experienced no less battlefield than Cao Cao, he could see that the Cao army was returning to the light before the morale collapsed, and once the Cao army was blocked from counterattacking, the Cao army would be like a landslide. Lu Bu can see the problem, and Cao Cao must also be able to see these unfavorable factors, so why is Cao Cao so determined to fight a decisive battle? Could it be that Cao Cao still has a plot and a trick?

Lu Bu is difficult to ride a tiger, no matter what tricks Cao Cao still has not come out, the army he can send out is invincible, and now he can't retreat, he must block the Cao army in front of him, otherwise the situation of the thief mountain collapse and the ground is the Chang'an army.

Lu Bu did not hesitate and ordered to rush and kill.

The soldiers on both sides rushed past, and where the two sides met, people turned on their backs, and the sea of people collapsed, like the collapse of a thousand-mile river embankment. Lu Bu wielded an animated halberd, opened the way first, and smashed into Cao's army. Zhou Cang Wei Yue rushed forward to kill Cao Jun in waves.

The Chang'an army pierced into the Cao army formation like a sharp knife, smashing a series of solid walls, and horses carrying war generals galloped in the enemy formation, exuding the breath of destroying all living beings, without the slightest fear.

The battle will be the first, and Cao's army will collapse at the first touch. The Chang'an army was not afraid of death, and there was a shock in Cao's army.

I don't know when the drums stopped, and only a lonely drum was left lying on the ground in front of the war drums, and Cao Cao's figure had long since disappeared. However, the fighting did not stop because Cao Cao disappeared, and at this time, Cao Cao seemed so small and without a sense of existence.
