Chapter 3: Deterring Cao's Army
Cao Jun has not been in a hurry to attack the city these days, now the overall situation has been decided, and the people in the city have been confused, Cao Cao naturally does not want to force Lu Bu to do the battle of trapped beasts at this time, and the people and horses are damaged in vain, but he ordered people to continue to shoot a scroll of bamboo paper into the city with headless arrows, although the general soldiers can't recognize the words, but there are always some literate people, and these people who recognize the words usually have enough influence in the city, Cao Cao's arrow books are shot at them, as long as these people have a mind, it will be easy to do.
"Do you think it's useful for this Cao Jun to shoot these things all day long? Will someone really open the gates for them? Cao Xuan waved his hand to push away the arrow clusters that were shot, these headless arrows were not very powerful, they could be pushed away at will, and seeing that the Cao army outside the city did not attack, Cao Xuan was a little bored.
Although Lu Bu banned the spread of the book, it still spread among the army, and Cao Xuan recently discovered that Hou Cheng was a little wrong, and he was also testing at this moment.
"We have been following the lord since the annexation of the state, how can we?" Hou Cheng shook his head, his face was as usual, but his eyes were a little gloomy when he looked out of the city, he was beaten by Lu Bu before, and his heart was uneasy these days, but he didn't dare to show this hatred.
"I think so." Cao Xing smiled.
"Open the gates!" In the midst of a shout, a soldier came and wanted to pull the winch and lower the drawbridge.
"What are you doing!?" Cao Xuan was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Who made you move!" ”
"Yes...... It's Wen Hou! The soldier who wanted to pull the winch was startled and hurriedly bowed down.
"My lord?" Cao Xuan frowned and said, "Where is the lord?" ”
"Gathering troops and horses under the city!" The scholars bowed.
Cao Xing and Hou Cheng ran to the other side of the city wall in a few steps, looked down, and saw that the trapping camp had assembled under the city, and Lu Bu's dazzling outfit and red rabbit horse were very eye-catching in the crowd.
"Lord, are you going out of the city?" Cao Xuan stood at the head of the city and said loudly to Lu Bu.
"Hmm." Lu Bu stroked the mane of the red rabbit horse, nodded and said, "Recently, my heart has not been very happy, so I went out of the city to kill some Cao soldiers to relieve my boredom." ”
Lu Bu's words were very plain, but those words were extremely arrogant, Cao Xing was slightly stunned, and then he became a little excited, if it was said that Lu Bu before was like an old tiger, he had lost his grandeur and sharpness in the past, then Lu Bu at this moment, Cao Xing felt that it was just like Lu Bu when the tiger was locked down and was alone against the heroes.
"The last general should be cheering for the lord!" An indescribable excitement surged from the bottom of Cao Xing's heart, and he immediately roared, turned around and said: "Open the city gate, today, I will ask you to wait and see Wenhou Huwei!" ”
The soldiers didn't understand why Cao Xing was so excited, only some veterans who had been following Lu Bu for a long time, and when they heard this, their eyes became different.
Not daring to slack off, his own soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the winch, and with the sound of chains, the suspension bridge at the city gate was slowly lowered.
Cao Jun was originally just a routine, and he didn't think that the city gate would open, but at this moment, seeing the drawbridge falling, the open city gate was a little overwhelmed for a while.
The general of the Cao army, who was in charge of leading the army to shoot the surrender book, reacted the fastest, and immediately waved his lance and said loudly: "The city gate has been opened, sons, follow me ......"
"Poof~"
The cluster of arrows that broke through the air didn't wait for the general of the Cao army to finish speaking, and they had already pierced his throat and broken his spine.
The cold wind was howling, but when I saw someone wearing a chicken feather on his head, wearing a beast-faced gold-swallowing armor, and wearing a hundred flowers on his shoulders, he sat on a red rabbit horse covered in flames, and the Fangtian painting halberd in his hand shimmered with a palpitating luster in the winter sun.
Don't look at the people behind him, just look at the appearance of this person, the heart of the Cao army soldiers who are shooting arrows is a jump, the so-called shadow of the famous tree of people, Lu Bu may not have a good reputation, but since the first battle of the Tiger Prison, it has been ten years, ten years, the world has produced many fierce generals, but no one dares to say that it can compete with Lu Bu, with the name of one person, the world has been powerful for ten years, no matter how Lu Bu is disdained in politics, but when he appears on the battlefield, no one dares to ignore his existence.
The leading generals have been shot, and the remaining soldiers who have come to shoot arrows have begun to swarm and scatter.
Lu Bu was not in a hurry to chase, but ordered Gao Shun to line up the formation outside the city gate, and then began to move in the direction of Cao Ying.
"Lu Bu came out of the city to fight?" In Cao Ying, Cao Cao was discussing with Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others how to govern Xuzhou next, but he saw someone come in in a panic and told Lu Bu to come to fight, a little surprised, now Lu Bu is trapped in a lonely city, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken, and Lu Bu still has the courage to go out of the city?
"Lord, the last general will go to meet Na Lu Bu!" Xu Chu walked out from behind Cao Cao and said loudly.
"Don't worry, I'll go and see first." Cao Cao shook his head, stood up, led the generals out of the camp, and walked straight out of the camp.
Cao Jun camp is stationed ten miles away from the east gate of Xiapi City, when Lu Bu led the army to arrive outside the Cao camp, Cao Cao has already led a group of generals over, above the gate, a famous Cao Jun nervously pinched the weapon in his hand, vigilantly looked at Lu Bu who rode a horse in the distance, and then looked back, Cao Cao frowned, only less than a thousand people?
In front of Cao's army camp, the battle of less than 1,000 people looked extremely thin.
What is Lu Bu trying to do?
Cao Cao was puzzled, but Xiahoudun on the side said with a solemn face: "Lord, this is the camp under Lu Bu, although the number is small, but it is extremely brave, only eight hundred people, but it can attack everything, it is the most elite army under Lu Bu, and the general next to Lu Bu is Gao Shun." ”
Xiahoudun and Guan Yu were defeated by Gao Shun's army when they joined forces, and this army can be said to be fresh in their memory.
"Gao Shun?" Cao Cao nodded, he had some impressions of this name, he had defeated Guan Yu and Xiahoudun in a row before, but he was not a fierce general, but he was extremely powerful in leading troops.
The Battle of the Trapped Beasts? Cao Cao smiled on his face, looked in Lu Bu's direction and said loudly, "What do you mean by coming here first?" But figured it out? ”
Previously, Cao Cao tried to recruit Lu Bu because of Lu Bu's insistence on the city, and there were many elite soldiers in the city.
"It's not!" Lu Bu hung Fang Tian's halberd on the horse's back, took off his carved bow, twisted an arrow cluster from the quiver, and did not look at Cao Cao, but looked at the handsome flag behind Cao Cao, bent the bow and set up the arrow, and after staying for a while, an arrow was shot.
Cao Cao's complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly dodged, Xu Chu took a step forward directly, blocking in front of Cao Cao, but only heard a snort in the air, and the rope of the handsome flag behind him broke in response.
Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the Shuai Qi that was broken, he was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to raise his head, at such a distance, Lu Bu could shoot the rope of Shuai Qi with one arrow, and it would definitely not be difficult to shoot his head.
Several shield bearers erected a big shield on top of the gate and blocked Cao Cao's body, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to continue to stay on the gate, while bowing his body and running under the gate, he said loudly: "Fengxian, what does this mean?" ”
"Without him, this handsome flag is an eyesore, and in the future, you must not hang it again!" Lu Bu watched the handsome flag fall indifferently, twisted another arrow feather, and did not look at Cao Cao, but aimed at some of the garrison generals standing on the gate.
"Poof~"
An arrow was shot, and a general was directly shot through the chest and abdomen, and the huge force directly took him down from the gate, and at the same time, Lu Bu's voice came from afar: "Today, a small punishment and a big commandment, kill your ten generals, in the future, if you let a certain see you erect the Cao character banner again, I will shoot you twenty generals, and I want to see how many generals in your Cao camp are enough to kill a certain one!" ”
Lu Bu's flat voice, but there is an unspeakable resentment, between the words, the carved bowstring in his hand is constantly making a buzz, a famous general guarding the camp is constantly shot by him, the Cao army soldiers who see the chest is uncomfortable, some people do not believe in evil and shoot back with arrows, but the two sides are two hundred steps apart, Lu Bu's carved bow is specially made, the range is extremely long, these ordinary soldiers' arrows can not shoot so far, before they reach Lu Bu, they have no strength.
