Chapter 130: Lu Bu beheaded the envoy
When Xu Sheng arrived at the south gate of Changyi, the herald sent Lu Bu's order. LΓΌ Bu ordered the Xiapi soldiers and horses led by Xu Sheng to be in charge of the city gates, and the elite cavalry led by Zhao Yun followed him on the expedition. At the same time, he asked Pengcheng Li Dian to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to garrison the city wall with Chen Gong.
Several people were ordered to go to their respective departments, and Zhao Yun led the troops to rush to the outside of the city, and Lu Bu outside the city had already lined up his troops. Thousands of wolf horsemen lined up behind Lu Bu, except for the cavalry, not far behind Lu Bu was the trap camp led by Gao Shun. There are not many soldiers in the trap camp, only more than 700 people, but the trap camp is the most elite infantry in Lu Bu.
The equipment of the trapped camp is the same as that of Zhuge Jin's Danyang soldiers, and the equipment of the Danyang soldiers is also a heavy armor, coupled with sharp long hair and sharp short knives, such an army makes the enemy fearful.
However, the White Horse Army led by Zhao Yun under Tao Ying was also aggressive, standing by on the right side of Lu Bu. After the two armies set up a position outside Changyi City, it turned out that Cao Cao wanted to salute first and then the soldiers, but he didn't want Lu Bu to push out the envoy and behead the envoy directly in front of the two armies.
Cao Cao was furious, and scolded Lu Bu for not being trustworthy in front of the battle, and the two armies did not fight and did not kill him, but Lu Bu was about to lose his trust in the world. Before the battle, he heard Cao Cao scolding, but Lu Bu scolded back: "The people of Xuzhou are known to be untrustworthy, just like Cao Mengde in Yanzhou, how can I be trustworthy when dealing with untrustworthy people such as Er?" β
Lu Bu didn't say much in front of the two armies, and it was like leading the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou when he was in Puyang, and Cao Cao's army began to clash. During this period of time, after Lu Bu invaded the Lu State, he began to recruit troops, and the soldiers were quickly replenished. Coupled with Pengcheng's unparalleled equipment and the supply of grain and grass, the combat strength of Lu Bu's army quickly recovered.
So when thousands of wolf horsemen began to charge at Cao Cao, Cao Cao knew that now was not the time to meet Lu Bu, so he hurriedly led his troops and horses and began to retreat.
Xu Sheng stood on the city wall, the smoke and dust outside the city, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts of soldiers were intertwined, and the outside of the city was like purgatory on earth.
Seeing that Lu Bu's army quickly rushed into Cao Cao's army like a tide, like a sharp arrow, Cao Cao's army was soon pierced fiercely. Cao Cao hurriedly fled north under the cover of everyone, and Lu Bu remembered Cao Cao's appearance this time, so he rode a red rabbit horse and chased after him.
Seeing from a distance, Lu Bu's wolf cavalry quickly separated from the Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and Chen Gong hurriedly asked Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Seeing Chen Gong in a hurry, Xu Sheng couldn't help but go over and ask, "Mr. Chen, our army's morale is strong, and we can defeat Cao Cao in one go, why do you want to retreat?" β
The sound of bells kept coming, and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou outside the city heard the sound of gold, and they were a little puzzled at first, but they didn't dare to disobey the order, so they hurriedly stopped.
Chen Gong pointed to the outside of the city and said, "General Xu, you see, although Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, his soldiers and horses are so orderly, there must be an ambush!" β
Poor Kou Mo chase, there has been such a reason since ancient times, not to mention that Cao Cao is not a poor man but a scheming hero!
Xu Sheng looked in the direction pointed by Chen Gong, and sure enough, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in the distance were retreating slowly and orderly. When the Xuzhou soldiers and horses caught up with them, they formed a formation to defend, and when they repelled the Xuzhou soldiers and horses, they began to retreat again, and at the same time covered the retreat of more people.
Looking at the well-trained Yanzhou soldiers and horses, Xu Sheng couldn't help but praise.
As the sound of gold sounded, many soldiers gave up the chase and ran to collect the loot on the ground. Seeing that soon there would be chaos outside Changyi City, Xu Sheng was a little worried.
These military horses are intricate, and they are difficult to manage. Because there are Tao Ying's Xuzhou soldiers and horses here, and at the same time Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers and horses, many people don't stop his orders at all.
It is said that when Lu Bu led a cavalry team of nearly 1,000 people to kill Cao Cao directly, he was about to catch up with Cao Cao, and suddenly there was a sound of collecting troops from the city, and Lu Bu couldn't help but scold. He didn't really like Chen Gong very much, Chen Gong was just a columnist, he was a strategist, a person who only sought for himself.
Seeing that Cao Cao was about to be captured, as long as Cao Cao was captured, he would be able to take the opportunity to take away the lost Yanzhou, so how could Lu Bu give up at this time?
So in the confrontation again and again, after Lu Bu stabbed to death six generals who came to stop him, he finally caught up with Cao Cao when it was almost dusk.
The evening wind blows, and the charm of autumn is stronger. Under the slanting sun in the north, the entire Changyi was plated with a layer of golden yellow.
When Lu Bu had been killing until he reached a hillside, he was standing on top of a high hill, when suddenly a trumpet sounded, and Cao Cao also reined in his horse and stopped. A bad premonition came, and Lu Bu looked back, and there were less than a hundred people behind him.
Under the hill where the horn came, as far as the eye could see, there were neat queues, and the mighty soldiers kept whining and shouting, and the sound resounded throughout the land.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
Lu Bu shouted and wanted to go back, but he didn't want to know where a military horse came from behind him, and a team of nearly 3,000 people blocked Lu Bu's retreat. The centaurs were all flying the banner of Xiahou, I don't know if it was Xiahou Yuan or maybe it was Xiahou Yuan.
The team of nearly 100 people was suddenly surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and the encirclement was like an iron pass, which made Lu Bu cry bitterly. Cao Cao returned from the hill and pointed at Lu Bu and laughed: "Lu Bu Pifu, I'll see how you live this time!" β
Looking at the triumphant Cao Dwarf, Lu Bu was even more furious, brandishing Fang Tian's halberd, and Lu Bu killed Cao Cao again. Sometimes, instead of passively giving up hope, it is better to take the initiative to attack, but to receive unexpected surprises.
Therefore, when the red rabbit horse ran with a red shadow, it was Cao Cao who froze, and the strategists next to him hurriedly let Cao Cao go, and Cao Cao turned around and fled. The hesitation was very close, the army behind Cao Cao did not dare to release the arrows, Cao Cao could only run desperately, and when he turned the hill, he could run back to his army, and he would get his life if he fled back to the army.
A chase and escape battle began again, and not wanting to chase over the hill just now, Lu Bu suddenly disappeared at the corner next to a wood. Behind him, the Xiahou army ran all the way, and the generals led by him took the lead.
More than a dozen fast horses chased Lu Bu's military horses all the way, and just when they reached the woods, they didn't want a cold arrow to shoot, and when they heard the sound of the arrow cutting through the air, the general led by them hurriedly raised their heads to hide.
But the speed of the arrow was too fast, and it happened suddenly, and the general was unprepared, although he escaped a fatal wound, but an arrow still plunged into the general's eye.
Seeing that the leader of the general was hit by an arrow, a team of nearly fifty people suddenly came out of the grove, and even the more than fifty wolf horsemen who were pursuing Cao Cao in front of him also turned back.
Cao Jiang, who was shot in the eye, covered his eyes and babbled, as if the pain was unbearable, but when he heard another man next to him, the general gritted his teeth and dragged the arrow in his eye out, and then opened his mouth to eat the eyeballs.
