Chapter 518: Fighting Cao Cao Again
In early April, light rain began to fall in the north.
The humid annexation of the state has allowed the two sides of the fierce battle to temporarily cease fighting, and the trial of the past few days has let the opponent understand the details of the two sides.
Among them, Lu Bu often frowned, because Cao Cao's lineup was too strong, even if they had an advantage in terms of generals, but in terms of troops, they were at a disadvantage.
That 100 million brave-level army was enough to suppress his army, not to mention the 500 million brave-level army and more than 9 billion elites, no matter what, he had no chance of winning, and even the possibility of resisting was very small.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu had a headache and didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to write to Li Yi, asking Li Yi to think of a way, or reinforcements, or change the strategic purpose.
At the same time, Cao Cao continued to adopt a steady and steady strategy, advancing slowly to prevent the enemy from falling into the trap, and informed Liu Bei and Sun Quan to let them pay attention to Li Yi's changes in strength, and not let Li Yi go if they had the opportunity.
The letter soon reached Li Yi's hands, and after reading the letter, Li Yi did not decide, but passed the letter down for Li Ru and a few people to see.
After everyone had read the letter and had an understanding of the affairs of the annexation, they began to speak.
"Lord, I suggest increasing troops from Youzhou, we must open the situation in the state, even if we use the hole cards, now it seems that Cao Cao must be all the hole cards, as long as Cao Cao is defeated, and Liangzhou is just around the corner." Li Ru still advocated attacking.
But Li Yi doesn't want to fight Cao Cao so early, his opponent is the three kings, once the hole cards appear, the other two will inevitably chase and fight, then it's not good, the hole cards need to be used in times of crisis, and after use, the enemy will take measures against your hole cards, and the next time it will not be useful.
"My lord, I suggest giving up and merging the states, putting the enemy in, and then destroying them in one fell swoop, or joining up with Feng Xian and attacking the other two, our purpose is to capture the strong enemy army, and occupying the territory is secondary." These are the words of Xi Zhicai.
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Li Yi nodded, he didn't care if he was on turf or not, as long as he could catch the opponent's historical figures, it would be the biggest victory.
Although he agreed with Xi Zhicai's suggestion, he did not make a conclusion, but continued to listen, and two people did not speak.
"Lord, and the state must be won, otherwise Sili is the land of the six battles, we will fall into a situation of exhaustion, which is not conducive to the future development, you can use the hole cards appropriately, don't expose them all, just a little." Tian Feng agreed with Li Ru's suggestion, but he was not as belligerent as Li Ru.
Finally, Li Yi looked at Jia Xu to see what he suggested.
"Ahem......" Jia Xu coughed for a while, attracting everyone's attention.
"Lord, everyone, Feng Xian and others can sacrifice their lives to fight, as long as they can capture the enemy's top generals or strategists, it is a victory, and the gains and losses of the army do not care, I suggest that you do not increase your troops or retreat, and fight to the death with Feng Xian's existing forces." Jia Xu's words once again made everyone ponder.
Thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion, I finally came to a conclusion that Jia Xu deserves to be Jia Xu, which is really insidious.
Lu Bu and the others are the people named on Lingyun Pavilion, even if they die in battle, they can be resurrected, and they will not consume anything, but once they catch Cao Cao's generals or strategists, it will be very beneficial to the future battle.
Hearing this, Li Yi determined the tactics and asked Lu Bu and the others to work hard.
Then Li Ru began to write down the methods and objectives of the battle, and asked his subordinates to quickly convey Kai Lu Bu.
On the side of Bingzhou, Lu Bu was anxiously walking around in the tent, and his movement made Zhang Liao and the others very upset.
Outside, Cao Cao's army is approaching step by step, even the rain can't stop Cao Cao's advance, in a few hours, they will encounter, whether to fight or flee needs Li Yi's instructions.
The wait didn't last long, and the messenger quickly broke in and handed Li Ru's handwritten letter to Lu Bu.
Quickly opened the letter, Lu Bu stared at the tiger's eyes, read it quickly, and when he finished reading it, he showed a smile on his face, handed the letter to Gao Shun, and read it in turn.
By the time they read the letter, everyone was full of confidence.
According to what Li Ru wrote in the letter, everyone began to actively prepare for war.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away from the camp, Cao Cao's army advanced in the rain, and from time to time some soldiers fell, and the next moment they quickly stood up, did not clean the mud on their bodies, and continued to move forward.
They are one of Cao Cao's trump cards, a 100 million brave army, this is Cao Cao's hole card, the result of his hard work for several years, and the strongest in his army.
This army is a cavalry, armed with blood-red spears, even the mounts are red, and the armor on the body is even more red and shiny, it has a majestic name, the red-blooded iron horse, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, is the trump card of the trump card.
It was followed by a 500 million brave army, led by the Xiahou brothers, who were the main force of the attack, and the next 9 billion elites were the main body of the army and a powerful means to contain the enemy.
Now, Cao Cao stood on the station, raised his head, and looked at the hazy sky, where small raindrops were falling, falling on his face, body, feeling the cool rain, Cao Cao was very sober.
He knows that this battle is a key step in determining his future direction, if he wins, he will attack Li Yi together with the three kings, it is the beginning of the decisive battle, if he fails, he will be slumped, and he will have no way back.
"Lord, the front is about to arrive at the Lu Bu camp, please go back and rest and recharge for the battle." Guo Jia's words rang out, causing Cao Cao to turn around and look at Guo Jia.
I saw Guo Jia holding a folding umbrella in one hand and a wine jug in the other, drinking wine without a sip.
The wanton aroma of wine could not even be covered by the rain, which made Cao Cao's nose move, and his throat unconsciously surged up and down, the wine was too fragrant.
"Fengxiao, what is the movement of the enemy army?" Cao Cao didn't go back, but stood in the rain and asked.
"Lord, the enemy army has no reinforcements, and it has not retreated, but it seems that it is going to fight against our army, this battle is strange, be careful of the enemy's tricks." Guo Jia reminded.
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao was silent for a long time, thinking about the enemy's tactics in his mind.
Time passed slowly, and after three hours, Cao Cao's army finally arrived thousands of miles away from Lü Bu's camp, and had already learned about Lü Bu's army from the scouts.
When I learned about it, I was very surprised and became suspicious.
"Fengxiao, Lu Bu dared to walk out of the camp, couldn't he see the gap between the two sides, and he wanted to hit the stone with an egg?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.
"My lord, the enemy must have a plan, and we must be careful to prevent the recurrence of Zilian's matter." Guo Jia suggested.
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and ordered the attack to begin.
Now because of the rain, it is impossible to tell what time it is, but Cao Cao knows that it is evening, and once the battle begins, it will be a night battle in the rain.
"The lord has an order, and the army attacks." Li Dian roared, and 100 million elites began to act, they were the vanguard of testing the enemy army, led by Li Dian.
Speaking of which, Li Dian is also a figure who has followed Cao Cao for a long time, although he has not been promoted to the ranks of top generals, but it is not far away, Cao Cao regards him as a pioneer, which is to test Li Dian to see if Li Dian can break through, once he breaks through, Cao Hong's dilemma of being arrested will be solved, and the battle with Li Yi has a greater chance of winning.
Looking at the vanguard of the Cao army, that mighty general, holding a spear, rushed to the front, very majestic.
Seeing this, Lu Bu nodded at Hou Cheng, and the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand pointed directly at the general.
Hou Cheng understood and directly led an army of 10 million to meet the battle.
"Well, the enemy will die." Before the person arrived, Hou Cheng's voice roared first.
Li Dian looked at the enemy generals who rushed in, and he didn't want to fight and hid directly in the crowd, he knew that the enemy was a top general, although he wanted to fight with him, but he didn't dare to disobey Cao Cao's order.
Li Dian's cowardice greatly boosted Hou Chengjun's morale, and his combat effectiveness also increased rapidly.
Tens of thousands of brave swordsmen shouted slogans and collided head-on with the enemy.
"Kill, kill, kill......" Hou Cheng waved the weapon in his hand and wantonly killed Sergeant Cao.
His bravery, no one in Li Dian's army is his general, and he kills at least ten people in one move, or even more.
Cao Cao stood in the rear, watching the battle between the two sides through the mechanism, and when he saw Li Dian falling into the disadvantage, he waved his hand, and Yu Ban, who had already been prepared, set off.
He is also Cao Cao's old man, and he is one of the candidates that Cao Cao wants to advance this time, as long as he defeats his opponent, that huge experience can prompt several people to advance.
Cao Cao's army once again rushed out of a general, and then 100 million soldiers followed, majestically killing Hou Chengjun.
At this time, Hou Chengjun had been surrounded by Li Dianjun, although there were more Li Dianjun killed in battle, but there were so many soldiers alive that they couldn't finish killing.
Yu Ban's army rushed in, breaking Hou Cheng's battle, looking at more and more enemies, Hou Cheng was furious, and finally had a chance to appear, this is a good moment for him to become famous, and he can't be destroyed by just two generals.
"Eat me a move, ten thousand horses gallop." Hou Cheng saw that things were not good, and his skills expanded.
In an instant, 100,000 high-headed horses appeared, and they rushed to the enemy in front without hesitation, with the impact of 10,000 horses, Li Dian and Yu Ban's formation was rushed out of a gap, Hou Cheng led the army to quickly kill, and then killed the army of the two on the periphery.
Hou Cheng's performance made both sides of the audience applaud loudly.
Lu Bu was amazed by Hou Cheng's performance, and Cao Cao praised Hou Cheng's wit.
Besides, Li Dian and Yu Ban, the two stood up together and continued to command the army to encircle and suppress.
Now they still have the advantage, there are still 150 million troops left, and Hou Cheng only has 8 million left, as long as they hold on, they can always kill Hou Cheng's army.
"Man Cheng, I'll go to contain the enemy army, you block it from the periphery, let's work together." Yu Ban shouted, and then without waiting for Li Dian to answer, he directly commanded the army to chase Hou Cheng.
Li Dian was slightly stunned, looking at Li Dian who rushed forward, he was very moved, he didn't have time to think about it, and commanded the army to enter from the periphery and strive to surround Hou Cheng.
As time passed, the army on the field became smaller and smaller, and in the end, Hou Cheng was finally trapped by Li Dian and Yu Ban, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times.
The first battle lasted until midnight, and the rain seemed to sense something and gradually stopped, and the battle was coming to an end.
On the field, Hou Cheng fought alone, and his opponents were Li Dian and Yu Banjun, who had been fighting for a long time, and they were exhausted, but victory was in front of them, and they were unwilling to give up.
"Haha, let me die." Seeing that there was no army of his own on the field, Hou Cheng laughed loudly, took out a brocade box in the package, and was still on the ground.
The crisp sound of "dang ......", this crisp sound lasted for a long time, making Li Dian and Yu Ban shout that it was not good.
