Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fight Again

Cao Cao repelled Lü Bu's surprise attack and camped on the spot, resting for five days before the cavalry headed towards Pengcheng, this time Lü Bu did not send troops to attack, perhaps because he found that the surprise attack did not play much role for a commander like Cao Cao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A day's march, before the evening, Cao's army came to Pengcheng, although this Pengcheng is located in the plain, but the rivers are staggered, even the moat of Pengcheng is formed by leading the surrounding rivers, and there is a river in the city that runs through the north and south of the city, and the river outside the city communicates.

After the arrival of Cao's army, he immediately picked the upper reaches of the river in Pengcheng and camped, and then placed huge trees in the upper reaches of the river to block the river to store water, and at the same time built a dam next to the river to raise the water level, and the people began to build Linchong and cloud ladders, obviously Cao Cao was preparing to storm Pengcheng.

Perhaps because he discovered Cao Cao's movements, Lu Bu personally led the army from Pengcheng to attack, intending to attack and harass Cao's army, so that it could not store water, this attack, in addition to the troops led by the generals with the trapping camp and the previous surprise attack, there was another five thousand soldiers of Sun Guan, the overlord of the Lang Evil Kingdom, attacked, this time Cao Cao took Cao Pi to watch the battle on a sentry tower in the camp, Cao Pi finally saw the trapped camp, it turned out to be a bunch of infantry wearing black light armor, they held a hook in one hand, and a ring head knife in the other.

A hook setting is a type of shield with hooks on top and bottom. The shield is a thin iron plate with rounded corners and square with protruding tips in front; The hooks are cylindrical long iron collars, all slightly bent backward; The top of the upper hook is sharp, and the end of the lower hook is a small ball; The handle behind the shield is connected between the two hooks; The shield is used to push and block, and the hook is used to hook the bundle. This kind of weapon has both defense, hook, push three functions, when the enemy can be hooked with the hook to hook the opponent's weapon, and then use the ring head knife to chop, because they wear bright light armor, in the face of arrows as long as the face of the door can be protected, the hook inlaid shield can just do this function.

This group of trapped camps is not only well-equipped, but also good martial arts, as infantry can shake the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, usually they use their bodies to hit hard, and then stab the horse to death with a ring knife, and the sergeant behind him will tear off the knight with a hook to fight, although it is generally the result of two for one or three for one, but the horses ridden by the tiger and leopard are all good horses, and it is not easy to cultivate, so Cao Cao finally let the tiger and leopard ride back to the stockade, relying on the wood and spear to resist the opponent's trapped camp.

Also in the station to resist Lu Bu's attack, Cao Pi saw the halberd in Lu Bu's hand, saying that it was a halberd that was only according to the commonly used halberd, the halberd used by Lu Bu was no more than two meters long, and it was not used for the unilateral halberd system usually seen in the halberd, Lu Bu's halberd had a crescent moon on both sides, which was called Fang Tian's halberd in the Song Dynasty, and the unilateral halberd was called the Qinglong halberd in the Song Dynasty.

This time, Lu Bu followed the trap camp to attack on foot, and his trap camp was to escort the rushing car for a strong attack, so he was at the forefront, and the stockade was made of wood, so naturally he couldn't withstand the attack of the rushing car, so Cao Cao also sent the army to fight with the other party outside, and at first used the tiger and leopard cavalry, but because of the serious losses, Cao Cao later used the infantry dominated by the Tiger Guard.

The equipment of the Tiger Guard is not as good as the trapped camp, but the victory is in the large number of people, a few days ago, the Tiger Guard died about 200 people, but there are still about 1,008 people, the number of people trapped in the camp after the previous battle and the consumption of the tiger and leopard cavalry has been less than 500, so it is a situation of one enemy and three, originally Lu Bu was brave and evenly matched, but Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, and Guan Yu were fighting around Lu Bu, and the three of them used short weapons in foot combat, Xu Chu and Guan Yu used ring swords, Zhang Fei used short halberds, although Lu Bu relied on the long weapons, But the three of them are all skilled in martial arts, so Lu Bu can't take advantage.

Gao Shun, another leading general, was blocked by Le Jin, and it was difficult to advance an inch, while the armies of Sun Guan and Zang Ba were blocked by Yu Ban and Cao Ren. The armies of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were overwhelmed by the army led by Man Chong. Cao Xing and Cheng Lian were entangled by Li Dian and Cao Hong. Zhang Liao's army was stopped by Liu Bei, Lü Qian and Shi Lian.

The two armies were fighting, but the purpose was different, Lu Bu hoped to break through the gate of the camp with a rushing car, and then kill it, knock down the dam that stored water, and preferably knock out the Linchong and cloud ladders that were being built. Cao Jun, on the other hand, hoped to defeat the rushing chariots that were trapped in the camp guards.

Because rushing is the main purpose, the place where the fight with the trapped camp is especially tragic. The Tiger Guards and the trapped camp continued to fall, but none of them retreated, and the rushing car could not step forward, and the Cao army could not approach the rushing car.

Now Cao Pi is standing in the sentry tower, the battle situation can be seen clearly, as far as the eye can see, there is blood flying every second, and there is a sound of shouting, scolding, and screaming in his ears every moment, and Shura Hell is nothing more than that, but Cao Pi does not have too much discomfort, but seriously looks at the moves and styles of many generals wearing bright light armor fighting in the army, after all, in this era, you don't expect when and where you will be under siege, and it is a good thing to learn more to survive in the battle array.

The battlefield of Lu Bu and Guan, Zhang, and Xu is the largest, because when the four of them are fighting, they will give the enemy a blow from time to time, because several people are powerful people, and they will die with one blow when they hit the opponent's soldiers, and over time, there is no one around the four of them to fight. Although Lu Bu was surrounded by three people in the middle, but there was an attack and a defense, not falling behind at all, the invincible true colors were undoubtedly revealed, Xu Chu waved the ring head knife, roared again and again, but could not get close, Zhang Fei tried to use the halberd to hook the opponent's weapon several times to compete for strength but did not succeed, but Guan Yu swung the knife several times, making Lu Bu a little embarrassed, but Lu Bu skillfully used the armor on his body to hit or block, and unloaded the attack.

Man Chong led a group of guards to wander through the battle formation, not entangled with Wei Xu and Hou Cheng at all, but wantonly slaughtered the opponent's soldiers, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were naturally the same, and the two sides were deadlocked. Zhang Liao had been stopped by Lu Qian, Shi Lian, and Liu Bei at this time, but with one enemy and three enemies, he was not cowardly, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I don't want to be in addition to Lu Bu's command, there are such fierce generals." ”

Although Le Jin had the upper hand on Gao Shun, he couldn't help the other party for a while, and the same was true for the other main generals. Cao Pi's unexpected situation happened when the two armies were entangled for half an hour, Cao Hong, who was wearing Mingguang armor, suddenly burst out, and the ring knife in his hand flew up and down, and slashed Cao Xing, who was the enemy of him, several times in a row, and finally cut Cao Xing's shoulder, and then flew up with a kick, kicking Cao Xing down, and the soldiers next to him wanted to come to the rescue, but were blocked by Cao Hong's command, and then Cao Hong stepped forward and waved his hand, and used the Mingguang armor arm guard to swing away Cao Xing's bottom-up stabbing attack, and raised his foot to face the door, only to see the red and white things splashing at the foothold, Cao Xing's hands and feet twitched for a while, and he died instantly.

Then Cao Hong held the ring head knife to chase and kill the enemy who was holding the Cao Zi flag, and after a while, he cut down this person, and then several people wanted to come and pick it up, and they were all killed and retreated by Cao Hong, and Cao Cao applauded. Cao Xing's subordinates were in chaos when they saw that the flag was gone, and they leaned towards the main general Lu Bu's consumption, and moved their whole body with a single move, and Lu Bu's army soon fell into chaos because of this change.
