After consolidating power, Lü Bu took an airship to Jizhou to supervise the war.

Only with an absolutely stable rear can he dare to go out again and again.

And this battle will be an epoch-making precedent again.

The telegraph on the airship kept beeping, and the news from all sides was reported one by one.

"King Qiyu, Xia Houyuan led an army of 50,000 troops to garrison Baimajin, and the Yellow River has been cut off. Xia Houdun led an army of 50,000 to gather in Shexian County, trying to join the party. Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 to Zhao State, intending to attack Taiyuan from Leping. ”

After reading Cao Cao's marching map, Lu Bu already understood Cao Cao's plan.

Cut off the Yellow River first, this is to block his path to the north to save the merger. The soldiers and horses of Xu and Qing couldn't cross the Yellow River, so they could only protect themselves in Xuzhou. In this way, even if Sun Quan and Liu Bei both attack, they may not be able to get benefits.

And the final result is very likely that his troops in Xuzhou and Liu Bei and Sun Quan will be defeated.

This kind of abacus is not bad.

An army of 200,000 is a big deal.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Yecheng?" Lu Bu asked.

"Yecheng still has 5,000 Jinwu and 30,000 troops stationed in Yecheng."

Lu Bu nodded, thirty-five thousand people, this number is a bit much.

Even if 3,000 special forces can sneak in, I'm afraid that a considerable number of people will die. Each of his special forces is extremely noble, and of course Lu Bu will not sacrifice casually.

Without greater certainty, Lu Bu would not make a decision lightly.

In this way, it is better to frustrate Cao Cao's sharpness on the frontal battlefield first.

Soon, the news of the update came.

"King Qiyu, according to the airships everywhere, there are five cannons in the Xia Houyuan of Baimajin. Xia Houdun has 10 crosses, Cao Cao has 20 crosses, and there is one on each of the four gates of Yecheng. ”

"Oh~!" Lu Bu couldn't help but chuckle: "Cao Mengde is really powerful, he actually built so many cannons. I just don't know, how powerful is it? ”

The guard smiled: "This kind of cannon is quite cumbersome, even if it is a king, it is not very useful." We are quite familiar with the weakness of the cannon, and Cao Cao will only make axes this time. ”

"Hahaha!" Lu Bu couldn't help but chuckle: "Let's go, let this king go and see what Cao Cao's cannon looks like!" ”

Soon, Lu Bu saw the cannon above the wall of Yecheng. With a high-powered telescope and a distance of kilometers, it is completely easy.

Well, that's good. Looking at his appearance, he is basically the same as the cannon he developed.

Now that it has been taken out and used, I believe that the power will not be much worse.

After all, the cannon principle is too simple. The cannonball was pushed out of the chamber with gunpowder, and the cannonball was naturally ignited by the gunpowder at the same time, then hit the ground and exploded.

It's just that Lu Bu has been able to achieve a touchdown explosion.

This is the simplest and lowest cannon, without gun rifling and very poor accuracy.

Lu Bu was only used to bully and bully people in the early stage, and it was impossible to use it for a long time.

He relied on weapons that others didn't understand to give surprise blows.

If not, which will win big victories at a very small cost?

As a general, it is to save the lives of the soldiers under his command as much as possible.

This is especially true as a king.

Otherwise, it will only lose the hearts of the people. Sergeants will also gradually lose their enthusiasm for battle, and then develop a war-weary mood.

In that case, Lu Bu didn't want to conquer the world.

Only by winning battles and winning more battles can this always inspire the sergeants under his command.

The important people of Cao Cao's group are all in Yecheng, and taking this city will be regarded as Cao Cao's death.

There are plans, but not now.

Lu Bu continued to move forward, depending on Cao Cao's specific army deployment.

Without a sand table, Lu Bu could only use the map to make a marching plan.

Fortunately, today's maps are very detailed, and although they are not 100% accurate, the general terrain is clearly marked.

With this map, the battle between him and Cao Cao was not at all of a grade.

What's more, he has a more awesome way to communicate.

Soon, Lu Bu had a clear battle plan.

"Order, let the Marquis of Tong Yan lead 5,000 troops to meet Xia Houdun. Let the senior cadres lead 5,000 troops from Wu'an to Guangping and cut off Cao Cao's logistics grain and grass. Let Huang Zhong lead 20,000 troops to face Cao Cao head-on. The sharpshooter battalion guarded and annexed the state to prevent the Huns from taking the opportunity to worship. Keep in mind that all battles are fought in a guerrilla manner, not front-on. All airships must do a good job of reporting information in a timely manner, and must not be neglected! ”

After conquering and annexing the state, after two years of continuous development, Lü Bu already had 70,000 cavalry.

The 30,000 people who fought this time were naturally all iron horses.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was definitely the most powerful class. War horses are equivalent to machinery. Except for the bow array and the gun array, it is almost impossible to restrain it.

Iron horse and long bow, Lu Bu will let Cao Cao know what it means to be in pain.

And this mode of warfare is actually the combat mode of the steppe people.

The only difference is that Lu Bu's weapons are more advanced and his mount equipment is more advanced.

Even if you take it to fight with the grassland people now, it is not weak at all.

Soon, Cao Cao's scouts got the news and immediately reported it.

"Report to Cao Gong, Huang Zhong led his troops to attack, and it is less than fifty miles away from our army."

What the!

Everyone present was amazed. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong would dare to take the initiative to attack.

Cao Cao was also shocked: "How many soldiers and horses did Huang Zhong bring?" ”

"About 20,000 people."

"20,000?" Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed: "Ridiculous Huang Zhong, 20,000 people dare to fight against the 100,000 army of this duke." Who gave him courage, did he think he was Lu Bu? Even Lu Bu didn't dare to be so rampant! ”

There were only 20,000 people, and everyone was amused.

"Huang Zhong attacked and made great contributions, he must have been arrogant. It's a good time, let Huang Zhong taste the power of our cannon! ”

"Yes, as long as Huang Zhong dies, the state will be at your fingertips!"

"It is Lu Bu's mistake to let such reckless men guard and annex the state!"

……

Yet soon.

"Report, Huang Zhong's army is coming, and it is less than ten miles away from our army!"

What the!

The crowd was amazed again.

"How could Huang Zhong be so fast?"

The messenger said: "I don't know, Huang Zhong marched all the way without stopping. No scouts were sent to explore the way, nor were they cooked. Galloping all the way, it is as if knowing the location of our army. ”

What, there is such an evil thing.

Guo Jia said: "It seems that the position of our army has been exposed, and Huang Zhong wants to raid our army once." ”

"Humph! If you want to raid, does Huang Zhong have this ability! Order, artillery array, let Huang Zhong Lao'er taste the taste of artillery fire! ”

Cao Cao and others went out one after another, wanting to see the tragic scene of Huang Zhong's defeat with their own eyes.

The journey of ten miles is not long, Cao Cao and others have just come to the front line, and Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses have already arrived.

You know, this is cavalry, not infantry. The speed of the march is at least ten times more than that of the infantry.

Twenty thousand cavalry marched at the same time, which can be described as huge, and the whole earth trembled.

At this moment, everyone seemed to see the scene of Lu Bu leading the wolf ride across the world again.

"The cannon is ignited, let Huang Zhong taste it!" Seeing that Huang Zhong was about to rush into the range of the cannon, Cao Cao immediately gave an order.

However.
