Chapter 483: The Battle Begins

That night, Luoyang City was solemn, and Cao Cao hadn't slept for several days, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.

There are two paths in front of him, each of which is difficult to choose.

The first one, fighting on both sides, either killing the enemy and becoming the master of the world, or being killed by the enemy and becoming the dust of history, this article does not look at strength, only luck.

Second, give up most of the territory, only keep Liangzhou and Merge Prefecture, give up other states and counties, let Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Li Yi fight each other, and then see the opportunity to try to make a comeback.

The first one depends on luck, and the second one is the safest, but the hope of a comeback is very small, so small that Cao Cao doesn't dare to think about it.

Sitting alone on the roof, holding a pot of sake in his arms, he drank without a sip.

With a slight sense of wine, he smiled at the starry sky, regarded the starry sky as his bosom friend, and said all the unhappiness in his heart.

There was no one in Fang Qianzhang, guarding countless brave legions on the periphery, and Cao Cao ordered that no one should be allowed in.

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it, just give me a few more months, a few months can ......"

Cao Cao's angry roar came out continuously, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

After the catharsis was completed, Cao Cao regained his composure again, threw away the wine jug in his hand, jumped directly off the roof, and began to gather everyone to discuss tomorrow's battle.

Li Yi is not very good in other aspects. But the credibility is still good.

He said that if the war starts on April 15, it must be this time, and tomorrow is the day of the battle, and today it is necessary to determine whether to fight or flee.

……

On April 15, in the easternmost part of Sili, in a small city called Mall, hundreds of millions of troops were ready to go, waiting for Li Yi's order.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong stood at the forefront, they were the protagonists of this battle, and it was up to them to charge into battle.

Lu Bu, who was dressed in black and red armor, rode on the red rabbit horse, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was held by a powerful right hand, and he held the reins in his left hand, waiting patiently.

On his left side, Zhao Yun was riding on the white dragon horse in silver armor, the snow-white white dragon horse sneezed at the red rabbit horse from time to time, as if to say hello, his arms were wrapped, and the gentian bright silver spear was being held in his arms, wiping it while waiting.

On Lu Bu's right side, Huang Zhong waited with empty hands, and the claws under his crotch Huang Feidian looked very irritable, although he was already a red-grade mount, but he was a little different from the Red Rabbit Horse and the White Dragon Horse, and he was a little restless.

After the three generals, there are eight strong generals and others, they are all the generals in this battle, and the other generals are staying in Youzhou to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack and the attack of some people with intentions.

After them, it was Li Yi's chariot, carrying three people, in addition to Li Yi, Li Ru and Jia Xu, this battle was only to eliminate Cao Cao's new force, and there was no need to send all the troops, Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai stayed in Youzhou to help Chen Gong manage the place.

As time passed, the engraved lines on the sundial came to the hour.

"My lord, the hour has come." Li Ru's reminder made Li Yi react, glanced at the sundial, and directly ordered the army to be dispatched.

"All the troops are attacking."

"All the troops are attacking."

"All the troops are attacking."

Three times in a row, countless horns and war drums began to echo, the whole city was in action, the city gates opened in an instant, and a massive army rushed out of the city gates on all sides.

They split into four directions and met on the west side of the mall, moving quickly towards the enemy.

The dispatch of the mall army made the spies outside the city nervous, some of them passed the information back, and the other part followed closely, using their lives to find out the news of the army.

However, those who stayed were doomed to failure, because Huang Zhong had already taken out his weapon, the turquoise Yangyou bow, gently pulled it away, and countless arrows shot at Cao Cao's scouts, within dozens of miles, these elite-level scouts had no hope of survival.

Huang Zhong's shot made Cao Cao's eyes unable to see the information, but the information that Cao Cao was waiting for was enough.

In the face of Li Yi's attack, Cao Cao decisively gave up Jingzhou, sent the army back to Si Li, prevented Sun Quan and Liu Bei's attack, and brought most of the strong army here, to have a big battle with Li Yi, if he lost, he gave up Si Li and other states and counties, only kept Liangzhou and Merge Prefecture, and gave up the others, if he won, that was the moment of his reversal.

Cao Cao knew this, and Li Yi also knew it, not only them, but also Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

The stakes are too great in this war, and once it is won, it will change the current situation.

Fifty thousand miles west of the mall, there is the camp of Cao Cao's army, a whole billion army is ready, countless traps have already been arranged, just waiting for the enemy to come and die.

Every thousand miles, there is another kind of trap, guarding against all kinds of troops, trying to consume the enemy's living forces.

After a morning's march, Li Yi's army finally reached three thousand miles outside Cao Cao's camp, and spent too much time on the trap along the way.

The elimination of each trap wastes a lot of time, even with a large army.

On the chariot, Li Yi looked into the distance, and countless dense pits were placed in front of him, which were the horse traps dug by Cao Cao, the tools used to trap the cavalry, and these horse traps were the biggest culprits hindering his speed.

"My lord, there are still three thousand miles, and at the current rate, it will take at least three hours, and it must be dark by then." Li Ru's reminder made Li Yi's mood even more unhappy.

The slow speed along the way had already made Li Yi feel very bad, and if it was dark to fight, it would be even worse for the army.

"Cao Cao's method is really wonderful, it seems that he has made up his mind to delay time, pass on my order, and issue a task to the strangers, so that they can solve the traps in the north and south, let's just take care of the middle and kill them as quickly as possible." Li Yi waved his hand and issued a new combat order.

That is to fight Cao Cao at dawn, when the odds of victory will be the greatest, if at night, if you can't see clearly, you will be attacked by Cao Cao's deadly attack, anyway, this is also Cao Cao's territory, who knows what means he has prepared.

After Li Yi's order was issued, the speed was several times faster, because the scope of filling the trap was reduced, but the manpower was greatly increased, and the speed instantly increased, and he was killing Cao Cao's camp in the distance.

The change of the army made the players who followed closely behind, they had been waiting for the task for a long time, but they grabbed it while accepting the task, and they waited until Li Yi's army ran out for three hundred miles, and they were distributed.

With the efficiency of hundreds of millions of players, it only takes an hour to catch up with Li Yi.

At that point, the battle probably had nothing to do with them.

Li Yi's actions had long been discovered by the scouts and reported to Cao Cao.

Waited until Cao Cao received the information, looked at the information, smiled, and gave the next step.

When Li Yi's army was a hundred miles away from the camp, countless boulders fell from the sky.

The boulder that fell in an instant caused countless casualties to the army charging in front, because it was too sudden.

Originally, the range of ordinary catapults was between thirty and seventy miles, and even if there was a bonus of a general, it was only about ninety miles, and it would not hit a hundred miles, but today, all this has changed.

Feeling the distance of the camp, Li Yi decisively ordered to disperse.

The army also stopped advancing, and first filled the trap.

Standing on top of the chariot, Li Yi opened Sun Tzu's Art of War and explored the source of the boulder at the limit of distance.

Thunderbolt Catapult (Gold)

Range: eighty miles.

Bonus Status: Randomly inflicts a spell attack on the target.

Note: There are four additional spells, which are Mighty Throwing Stones, Piercing Throwing Stones, Double Hit Throwing Stones, and Stun Throwing Stones.

Looking at the attributes of the Thunderbolt Catapult, Li Yi was speechless, he didn't expect Cao Cao to create such a weapon, upgrade the original catapult, and reach such a range with the addition of the general, the maximum distance reached a hundred miles, which could give the enemy an unexpected attack.

But this time, next time, it won't be like this.

"Pass my order, fill the trap quickly, order Huang Zhong to be on guard, Zhao Yun to go to the rear to investigate, and Lu Bu to be careful head-on." Li Yi began to order in an orderly manner.

The current situation has been discussed when I negotiated with Li Ru and others, and it will not be interrupted by unexpected circumstances.

The division of labor and cooperation of the three of Lu Bu minimized the impending danger.

It's a pity that they were busy, and Cao Cao's sneak attack didn't appear at all, it seemed that it was just a false alarm.

Listening to the information from the heralds, Li Yi knew that this was Cao Cao's method of exhausting the enemy, using a series of means to reduce the enemy's physical strength and morale and create conditions for victory.

"In this case, pass on my order, Lu Bu will lead an army of tens of millions, charge ahead, and open a bloody road for me." Seeing this, Li Yi decisively ordered.

Let Lu Bu be his blade, split all the traps and blocks of Cao Cao, and create conditions for the army behind.

After Lu Bu learned the order, he roared excitedly, and rushed directly with tens of millions of brave-level cavalry.

In the place where the trap was filled, Lu Bu took the lead, rushed to the front, came to the trap that had not been filled, patted the red rabbit horse, and a red rabbit charge was used, destroying the ground for dozens of miles, and those trapping pits were useless.

Use a skill to open dozens of miles of road and become the cornerstone of the cavalry behind.

As for Lu Bu, he was fighting with Dian Wei Xu Chu.

When he just rushed to the bottom of the camp, he was raided by two people who had been ambushed a long time ago.

Fortunately, it was he Lu Bu, the current number one general in the world, who hurriedly turned on his defensive skills and parried at the moment when the two of them sneaked up, which blocked the attack of the two.

But if you force Lu Bu, you will also fall into a disadvantage for a while, and the enemy is also a top general, although one-on-one is not your opponent, but two-on-one, it is a blessing that you can drag the enemy.

The battle between the three of them changed the nearby terrain in an instant, and the moment the weapons were exchanged, the invisible fluctuations destroyed the ground, and some of Cao Cao's prepared backhands were lost, for this reason, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were furious, and they shot with all their might, vowing to kill Lu Bu, and the outbreak of the two made Lu Bu's situation extremely difficult.

In the time of a cup of tea, Lu Bu was hit several times by the two, and although he avoided the vital point, he was also injured a lot.

Just as Lu Bu was about to retreat, the army behind him finally arrived.

Following the road opened by Lu Bu, tens of millions of troops rushed to the front of the camp with great difficulty, and the earth-shattering roar sounded, and they began to charge.

The charge of tens of millions of cavalry instantly relieved Lu Bu's crisis, because Dian Wei and Xu Chu retreated.
