Chapter 41: The Two Armies Meet
As soon as Cao Xuan's words fell, he heard the soldiers on the side say: "Childe, that Liu Bei's 30,000 horses are not vulnerable at all, you can rest assured, our soldiers can definitely easily kill them!" ”
"Good! Then I'm looking forward to the scene where Liu Bei's 30,000 horses are defeated! Cao Xuan said with a sneer.
Liu Bei is not so easy to take, everyone knows all this, after all, Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei is not a simple person.
......
The west side of Penglai Island.
On a small mountain, an elite army of 5,000 men was moving slowly.
This 5,000 cavalry is Liu Bei's elite, their equipment is relatively special, it is forged from stainless steel, wearing iron armor, and their weapons are extremely sharp.
Although they are 5,000 people, each of them has experienced countless battles, killed countless enemies, and has extremely rich combat experience, and their strength is extraordinary.
"Brothers, are you all ready?" A strong man shouted.
"It's already ready, please give the general an order!" A group of soldiers clenched their fists and said.
This elite is the elite that Liu Bei spent a lot of money to build.
Although they only have 5,000 men, they are amazingly combative.
"Good!" The strong man waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
......
On the east side of Penglai Island, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang gathered here with soldiers and horses, and they watched the entire Penglai Island.
"Strategist, the soldiers of Cao Ying are wandering around, so it will be difficult for us to deal with it!" The soldier next to him said.
"I saw it too! It seems that Cao Cao wants to make us dumplings and annihilate us in one fell swoop! Zhuge Liang said.
"Strategist, we might as well rush over and fight them to the death!" The adjutant next to him suggested.
"Fight to the death? We can't take this risk, we can only defend, if we attack strongly, it is very likely that Cao Cao will be aware of it, in that case, we will be in trouble! So, we can't take any chances, we have to make sure we are undefeated! Zhuge Liang said solemnly.
"It's a pity!" The lieutenant shook his head with a sigh and a regretful expression on his face.
"That's it! Our task can only be to defend, we can only preserve our strength, and we cannot act without permission! Zhuge Liang said.
"Yes!" The adjutant general said yes, and said nothing more.
......
Cao Ying, Cao Xuan led the Cao army back and forth in Cao Ying.
"Enlighten the lord!" A strategist-like person quickly ran in front of Cao Xuan and hurriedly reported: "The subordinates have already inquired that Liu Bei and others are on the west side of Penglai Island, and now they seem to be thinking about how to occupy Penglai Island. ”
"Oh? They want to occupy Penglai Island? Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then showed a look of disdain on his face, and said: "Pass my order, order the whole army to go out and encircle and suppress the Shu army!" ”
"Whoa!" The adjutant general said yes, turned around and left the big tent.
......
To the south of Penglai Island, Liu Bei is leading the soldiers to inspect this island, he has sent someone to inquire about the situation on Penglai Island, which is deserted, but surrounded by the sea, if you can take root here, I am afraid it will be enough to survive for enough time, therefore, Liu Bei is even more determined to seize Penglai Island.
On Penglai Island, there was a water source, and Liu Bei came to the vicinity of the water source with a team of cavalry.
"Stop!" Liu Bei shouted and told everyone to stop.
"General, there is the water source in front, why don't we take advantage of the present to set a trap at the water source, and then let Cao Jun suffer a big loss!" A general suggested.
"Great idea!" Liu Bei nodded.
Liu Bei's idea is to take advantage of the present, set a trap, and then trap the Cao army here in this water source, although it is not enough to defeat the Cao army, but the elimination of a force is also good news for them.
Immediately, Liu Bei asked everyone to stop advancing and set up a trap near the water source.
......
To the south of Penglai Island, a force of 5,000 men and horses was moving slowly, each of them was wearing iron armor, holding various weapons in their hands, burly and fierce, obviously they were all veterans of a hundred battles, and their strength was strong.
"Report!" A general came to Zhang Liao and reported: "General! A valley was found ahead, and there seemed to be traces of the Shu army! ”
"Hmm...... Tell the order, all the soldiers, hurry to that valley! Xu Chu ordered.
"Yes!" The soldier agreed, and immediately went to deliver the order.
"Pass the order, everyone, speed up!" Xu Chu instructed another lieutenant general.
"Whoa!" The adjutant general agreed, and then went down to make arrangements.
......
"General, there is a trace of the Shu army ahead, it seems that we have to deal with it carefully." A partial general in Cao's army said to Xu Chu.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to see what they are capable of!" Xu Chu snorted coldly and ordered.
"No!" The general agreed and retreated.
......
At this time, Liu Bei's subordinates had already set up traps and waited for Cao Jun to come and send them to death, and after a while, a Cao army of 5,000 people appeared in everyone's sight.
"General! The traces of Cao Jun were found in front! A personal guard reported to Liu Beiyu.
After Liu Bei heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a fierce light flashed on his face.
"Order all the soldiers, defend themselves, and if they fall into the trap, charge them immediately!" Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and immediately instructed one of the guards beside him.
"Yes!" The guard said yes and hurriedly went to inform everyone.
A moment later, on the south shore of Penglai Island, Liu Bei led his men and horses and was preparing to meet Cao's army.
"Lord, are we going to send troops?" The adjutant general on the side asked.
"Not bad! This time, we're going to give them a little color! Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a fierce gaze.
"Yes!" The adjutant general promised, and then he looked at Cao Jun in front of him.
This time, Liu Bei led a total of about 7,000 people, all of whom were wearing iron armor and holding spears and swords and shields in their hands, and their momentum was overwhelming.
When Cao Jun saw Liu Bei's army, he also showed a solemn look.
"General, don't be tough!" A Cao military general proofread Xu Chu and persuaded.
"Humph! Why are you afraid of his Shu army! Xu Chu sneered disdainfully.
"General, we should send scouts to investigate first and see how many men Liu Bei has, so that we can deal with them!" That Cao Jun General said.
"Pass the order! Everyone, get ready to attack! Xu Chu shook his head and commanded a general.
"No!" The general answered and immediately went down to give the order.
Soon after, Xu Chu sent two scouts to investigate Liu Beijun's situation.
Not long after, the two scouts came back to report that Liu Bei's army only had 7,000 people, but Liu Bei's soldiers were extremely well-trained, and all of them were brave and good generals.
