Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tiger and the Dragon, Unparalleled in the World
Burning the oxtail and making the ox run wildly and attack the enemy line is not a new trick. For Lu Chen, the biggest regret of this plan is that he sees more cattle every day, but he can't eat beef, of course, the saddest thing is the foodie Guo Jia.
Cao Ren thought that he had the chance to win, and had already ordered the Qingzhou soldiers to start attacking the city.
At the beginning, there were not many tiger troops on the ice wall, only more than 200 people, but after the Qingzhou soldiers attacked the city, another 400 Long Xiang troops came in. Rao is so, they are still very difficult to resist, the Qingzhou soldiers are very strong, and they are all cavalry, not good at defending the city, the situation is critical.
Zhang Liao was making five hundred dragons line up to put on armor and prepare for the final charge.
Cao Xing took the remaining 700 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army and hid behind the ice wall with the oxen, waiting for Lu Chen's order.
When Lu Chen appeared in front of the soldiers in armor for the first time, he attracted the attention of more than a thousand soldiers who did not participate in the battle.
Because, they thought it was Lu Bu coming.
I have to say that Lu Chen's outfit today is a little coquettish.
I saw that he was wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red brocade and a hundred flowers robe, a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt around his waist. Hanging a bow and arrow on his left waist, holding a halberd in his right hand, he sat down and chased the cloud beast and came through the wind.
It's not that Lu Chen wants to be cool, in fact, he is willing to dress ordinary, the more colorful he wears in the battle array, the more he attracts hatred, he still understands this, but he has to wear it like this. Because, when he was still a fool, Lu Bu prepared it for him, and it was naturally created with reference to Lu Bu's own style. What's more, Lu Chen is tall and strong, fifteen years old and half a head taller than Zhang Liao, he can't wear other people's armor, he can only wear his own, but his coquettish father only bought himself such a pirated equipment, pulling the wind is pulling the wind, but Lu Chen feels a little sassy......
The first time he put on the armor, Lu Chen felt uncomfortable, he didn't feel like Lu Bu, but if he replaced the painting halberd with a stick, he was a bit like a monkey making trouble in the sky.
It's good to keep the complaints in his heart, Lu Chen naturally won't say it, besides, these complaints are only used by him to relieve pressure. In any case, killing thousands of people overnight is a hurdle for a modern person with a normal mind.
No matter if he is dressed like this, he is a little more like Lu Bu, or more like the Monkey King. Lu Chen didn't want to think about it, he only knew that he was dressed like this to tell the soldiers that their backbone was still there! Wen Hou was captured, but Xiao Wen Hou is still there!
The so-called soul of the soldiers, this point has been the greatest embodiment in Lu Bu's unparalleled three armies, often Lu Bu takes the lead, and the soldiers only need to follow to be invincible, which is the influence created by more than ten years of outstanding military exploits, which is the highest belief!
Therefore, Lu Chen put on the same armor as his father today, just to tell them that the glory of Long Xiang and Tiger Ben will not be cut off from now on! Lu Chen didn't even need to speak, he just needed to appear, and he could make the blood of Long Xiang and the Tiger Ben soldiers boil.
Lu Bu, the god of war, is the absolute soul of these two cavalrymen!
After a short period of shock, the soldiers began to whisper, and even Zhang Liao, the most calm commander, was a little excited. Cao Xuan had already opened his throat and roared excitedly.
In the night, Lu Chen looked at the pair of eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, and he knew that this battle was won!
The agitation among the soldiers soon died down.
Lu Chen took a few steps out of his horse, came to the front of the Tiger Ben Army, and said, "Strategy! Are you ready? "At this moment, Lu Chen is the coach, so naturally he will not call him uncle again.
Cao Xing took a step, beat his chest with his right hand, and said solemnly: "Yu Xiaojun Hou, one qiΔ ready!" β
Lu Chen said: "Arson!" Cattle! β
The earth and rocks blocking the entrance of the ice wall cave were removed, and several Qingzhou soldiers who wanted to break in were poked to death by Changshuo, and then a cow was stuffed into the hole. Then, the firewood drenched in tung oil tied to the tail of the ox was ignited, and the ox, feeling the pain, began to run, and when it was over, a soldier poked a spear in the buttocks. The mad cow screamed and rushed out of the hole, and behind it, there were several jars of tung oil.
More than 100 zhang of ice walls, more than 100 holes, each hole released a mad cow on fire, and then, the hole was instantly blocked by earth and stones.
Across the ice wall, Lu Chen heard the exclamations and screams coming from outside, saw the light of the fire rising into the sky outside, followed by the explosion of gunpowder from the flames burning onto the wooden carts, and the occasional desolate bleating of the lambs......
Then, Lu Chen saw the fiery eyes of Long Xiang and Hu Ben's soldiers, and heard their breathing become heavy......
Blood!
Murderous!
Lu Chen knew that they were the elite of a hundred battles, and they liked the taste of blood! Love the thrill of killing!
Lu Chen was suddenly able to understand the excitement in the eyes of these soldiers, and even he couldn't help but have a trace of the urge to kill, but the reluctance and disgust in his heart also became strong.
Lu Chen knew that in addition to this tragic battle with Cao Jun, there was also a war going on in his heart, a war between the so-called righteous and the so-called evil.
People are contradictions, on the one hand, Lu Chen can't bear to kill and hope that the world is peaceful, on the other hand, Lu Chen can't wait to kill all the people who try to put him to death, leaving no one behind.
The inner war is destined to have no victory or defeat, and the outer war, the winner and loser have been divided! At this time, the sound of fire and explosions outside had been resounding for half an hour.
Outside the ice wall, the flames were raging, devouring one life after another.
Inside the ice wall, the soldiers' murderous intent is stacked, waiting to explode!
Cao Xing looked at the ice wall that was getting lower and lower by the fire for a long time, and then stared at his face blackened by the smoke and came back, and reported happily: "Yu Xiaojun, the big camp outside is blocked by the tent carts and other obstacles we have placed in advance, the space is narrow and complicated, and it is difficult for the three of them to retreat calmly after they come in. Moreover, the cattle rushed through the camp with tung oil, igniting almost all the gunpowder, and the sheep not only carried the flames farther, but also tripped over the fleeing soldiers...... Now, the Qingzhou soldiers besieging our army in the three divisions have been broken, and only less than 3,000 people in the middle and rear of Cao Ren are still outside the camp and have not been affected. β
Lu Chen nodded, his eyes were cold, at least at this moment, he forced the so-called justice in his heart to roll away, and evil occupied the commanding heights.
Tonight, he must kill!
Zhang Liao also said: "Xiao Junhou, half of the three Qingzhou soldiers were burned to death, and most of the retreating soldiers were also seriously injured, and they were flustered without any rules. They have lost their hearts and have no combat effectiveness, and there is nothing to worry about, a hundred cavalry can easily defeat them! Only the middle and rear of Cao Ren can still fight, but they are only infantry after all, and we are iron cavalry in a hundred battles! β
Cao Xuan rubbed his hands and said to Lu Chen: "Little Junhou, send troops!" β
"Whew!" Lu Chen took a deep breath and said indifferently: "Wenyuan, lead Long Xiang to five hundred, get on the horse and wait!" The strategy, lead seven hundred tigers, one person and two horses, each with three pots of arrows, without knives and guns, leading horses and waiting! The rest of the soldiers continued to stay. β
Zhang Liaocao took the order and left.
Outside the camp of Lu.
Cao Ren was trembling, watching the huge tide-like flames mercilessly devouring his elite soldiers, and his eyes were split.
"Don't be angry, General! With such a fire, they could not rush out, and when they went, the cavalry could not charge, and they must have been trapped in it. We have suffered heavy losses this time, but as long as we wait until dawn and transfer soldiers and horses from the surrounding counties, we will definitely be able to destroy Lu Chen! The pro-soldier comforted.
Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Chen'er deceived me too much, I swear to kill you!" β
Lv Ying.
Cao Xing and Zhang Liao rode on our horses respectively, one on the left and one on the right, and behind the two were their respective cavalry.
Lu Chen instructed Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, Long Xiang will charge with me and go straight to Cao Ren's army!" If you don't break it, you can't go back! β
"No!" Zhang Liao hugged his fist.
Lu Chen said to Cao Xing again: "Strategy, Hu Ben followed Long Xiang closely, divided into two wings to sweep the formation, no close combat, only allowed to kill the enemy with cavalry shooting!" Annihilating the enemy is secondary, and disrupting the opponent's formation is the key. Qingzhou soldiers? Elite? I want you to drive them like a flock!" β
"No!" Cao Xuan grinned, and he also hugged his fists.
Outside the camp.
Cao Ren instructed his own soldiers: "Pass the order, settle the wounded, the first three troops on the left and right withdraw to the camp, and the remaining two continue to besiege them, and send people to inform the surrounding counties and counties quickly, and immediately start to help!" β
Cao Ren's idea was very simple, there was no danger now, because Lu Chen's cavalry was blocked by the fire and could not rush out. As long as he set up obstacles and surround the camp after the fire subsided slightly, Lu Chen's cavalry would not be able to rush up. With only these remaining 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers, they can firmly surround Lu Chen's 2,000 cavalry! Just wait for reinforcements to arrive, and you can win a big victory!
However, the idea is plump, and the reality is backbone.
The fire was a little weaker, and before Cao Ren could give an order in a hurry, he saw a small group of people rushing out from the opposite side, and he didn't know what those people were doing. After a while, there was a sound of explosions, one after another, Cao Ren was very strange, he didn't know what those thunderous things were, but he knew that thing was powerful!
It's just that...... He didn't understand what those guys were blasting, there were no living people there!
After a while, Cao Ren understood, because the tents, carriages, earth and rocks that stood in the way were swept away by the explosion, and then under the sweep of the soldiers, the camp became a smooth road, and as the explosions became more and more frequent, the cleared road became wider and wider, and it was already about twenty paces wide.
At this moment, Cao Ren's face was as white as snow, and he shouted like a wolf howling: "Retreat!" Retire! The pikemen are rejecting the horses, and the archers are ready to shoot! The opposing cavalry is coming! Quickβ"
However, it was too late.
With the efforts of the soldiers, with a jar of inferior gunpowder and a little manpower, Lu Chen finally swept a wide avenue for the cavalry when the fire in the outer camp was about to subside!
Cao Ren saw that in the faint sea of fire, he rushed out first, this person was holding a halberd and wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown. After that man, more cavalry swarmed out, and swept in like thunder.
Many Cao Jun murmured: "Lu Bu ......"
On top of the Xuanlong Cloud Beast, Lu Chen held his halberd high and shouted: "Tiger Ben Dragon!" Unique! β
The entire Long Xiang and the Tiger Ben soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky: "Tiger Ben Long Xiang...... Unparalleled ......"
Five hundred dragons and iron horsemen attacked like mountains and seas, and the earth shook the mountains.
Cao Ren's face was hideous like a ghost, and he roared hoarsely: "Formation! Formation! Formation! Poof......"
A mouthful of black blood spurted out, and Cao Ren was forced to fall from the horse.
