Chapter 8: The Night Fighting Alliance
Compared with the soldiers, the generals are the key objects of care, Cao Xing led a hundred cavalry armed with bows and arrows, specializing in shooting enemy generals, and there were constantly deputy generals falling off their horses.
Cao Xing's bow and arrow were accurate, and he actually hit Zhang Fei in the shoulder with an arrow.
Zhang Fei was wearing leather armor, and the cowhide on his shoulder was not enough to resist the arrow, so he pierced his shoulder, and there was a pain.
"Shoot me in the nose during the day and shoot me in the shoulder at night, I can't really be bullied by Lao Zhang."
Unexpectedly, he rushed forward, the horse was extremely fast, Cao Xuan was also stunned, and he didn't hit Zhang Fei with a few arrows, and he didn't know how to escape.
Seeing that Cao Xuan was about to be provoked, Lu Bu rushed out of the oblique stab: "Ring-eyed thief, I really thought you were a green onion, I couldn't kill you." ”
The halberd smashed his head, Zhang Fei shrank his neck in fright, turned around and ran, and made a shadow.
"Three family slaves, you don't need a slingshot if you have the ability."
I heard Guan Yu shouting: "Third brother, break through quickly." ”
To say that Cao Cao is a true bachelor, he found that he was caught in a heavy siege and immediately made a decision to break through.
The elite soldiers hit the Lu Bu camp like a tide, and it was the Xiliang army of the Huaxiong Department who guarded the camp, which could be regarded as the Xiliang elite soldiers.
Xiliang elite soldiers are good at fighting alone, but their equipment is poor, and the soldiers don't even have leather armor, nothing more than a spear or a long knife in their hands.
The elite soldiers led by Cao Cao were really playing for their lives in order to escape.
Almost with guns against each other, the front row fell, and the back row followed.
It was so tragic that when Lu Bu rushed over, the blood flow on the ground had already slipped the horse's hooves.
Cao Cao launched a ruthless attack on his own team, and Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao and others fought their way out of the encirclement.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are behind the palace.
Lu Bu shouted: "The one in the red robe is the Cao thief, catch the Cao thief and reward the money." ”
The sergeants shouted: "Arrest Cao Cao for a penny." ”
Cao Cao was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, such a big Cao Cao, how could he be a hundred or dozens of catties, but it was only worth a penny.
Cao Cao hurriedly took off his red robe and threw it to the ground.
Lu Bu shouted again: "It's Cao Cao who has a long beard." ”
Cao Cao pulled out a short blade on his horse's back and cut off his beard directly.
When it comes to slippery escape, Cao Cao is first-class, and soon stands out from the encirclement under the protection of his own soldiers.
The group was like a lost dog, and the 10,000 soldiers who were waiting outside were about to rush back, when they heard the shocking sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth.
It turned out that Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry had completed the assembly, although there were no more than two thousand cavalry in total, but the lineup was very strong, with Lu Bu as the center, next to Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and other generals.
The cavalry divided into two groups, harvested the enemy troops along the way, and fought for an hour, and Cao Cao escaped.
Don't mention the embarrassment, the beard is gone, and the big red cloak is gone.
Eight thousand soldiers went in, and there were more than 3,000 people coming out, and it was gratifying that there was no shortage of major generals, except for one Zhang Fei.
As I was walking forward, I heard a nest in the camp of Bishuiguan, with flames and shouts of killing.
The further he went, the more frightened Cao Cao's heart became, and the air was filled with the smell of grain and grass.
"It's not good, it's actually the food that is burning, and the speed is to put out the fire."
From midnight to dawn, the food and forage of the coalition camp were reduced by seven or eight percent.
The remaining ashes were still smoking, and a wisp of wind blew and a few sparks.
Cao Cao's face was black, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were clean and tidy.
Cao Cao asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yuan Shao sighed: "As soon as you left, a team of people came back with your banner, saying that Lu Bu was on guard and didn't fight." The defenders did not take precautions, and the result was the Xiliang army, which had about 2,000 horsemen, set fire everywhere, rushed everywhere, and burned the grain and grass. ”
The men and horses trampled on each other, and the effect after the bombing of the camp was very obvious, and the chaos of an army of more than 100,000 people could gather at most 100,000 people.
The main reason is that the morale of the army is scattered, and the hearts of the princes from all walks of life are not aligned.
"Mengde, do you have a good plan?"
Cao Cao calculated: "There are a lot of rich families in Luoyang, and businessmen are gathered, can they still muster up more than 100,000 troops of grain and grass?" Let's bypass the Tiger Prison Pass, go straight to Luoyang City, and set off tonight, and by the time Lu Bu finds out, we will have already arrived in Luoyang. ”
However, the princes are more thinking about disbanding on the spot, and it doesn't make much sense to fight to this point, Lu Bu is not only brave, but also knows the art of war.
In Lu Bu's army, last night was another great victory, capturing 3,000 enemy soldiers, all of whom were collected and treated for wounds.
Wu Anguo slept until noon before getting up, looked at the head hanging at the camp gate, and asked, "Whose head is that?" ”
The little soldier saluted: "Back to General Wu, it was a fake made by the general, and it was said that it was General Wu's head." The meal is ready, and the villain brings it to you. ”
The soldier said and brought Wu Anguo a plate of boiled horse meat and a bowl of gruel with sorghum rice on a tray.
Ate some hastily, the drums of the generals outside sounded, and all the generals gathered in the school field.
Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Wei Xu and so on have all arrived.
Don't ask Xu Rong why he didn't come, Xu Rong guarded the camp and built city defense weapons.
Lu Bu saw that everything was ready, and announced loudly: "Starting today, the whole army will conduct large-scale training, and the non-commissioned officers who are not on duty will practice twice in the morning and evening, and they must practice well in running, formation, and fighting." All generals must participate, and the bow and horse must be skillful. ”
"Yes."
Chen Heng was secretly distressed, it was okay not to train the soldiers, but the heavy consumption of food and grass for the first training of the soldiers was very great.
The soldiers ran under the leadership of the grassroots generals, and Lu Bu had to train the generals himself.
Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan and a few of our old brothers have a good fight, especially Hao Meng and Wei Xu, the martial arts are not up or down, and the actual combat skills must be improved." Cao Xing focused on the development of bows and arrows, and Hou Cheng practiced marksmanship. ”
"No."
Zhang Liao and Hao Mengwei continued to put it right, it is actually quite difficult for generals to improve their skills, especially when they reach a certain age, their martial arts are basically formed, and if they want to improve, they must learn from each other.
The cost of the competition is still quite high, and the horse battles are all wooden weapons, even if it is this kind of wooden weapon, he has a certain degree of danger.
There is still a lot of room for improvement for these fierce generals under his hands, but the camp is simple and has no basic training equipment.
Hua Xiong hugged his fists: "Please also ask Wen Hou to teach me some martial arts, and now I don't dare to fight when I meet Guan Yu." ”
"There is a shadow in the psychology, avoid it when you meet Guan Yu. In fact, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are similar, let's learn from each other and make progress together. ”
Hua Xiong and Lu Bu were hovering in one place, and the big sword was against Lu Bu's Fang Tian halberd, if you want to talk about tricks, it is also mediocre, but Lu Bu's speed is half a beat faster than that of ordinary generals.
Hua Xiong was very depressed: "What Wen Hou said, I understood it as soon as I heard it, but I couldn't do it when I practiced." ”
"General Hua is already a first-class general, experienced in a hundred battles, there are few people in the world who can be opponents, you only need to practice more strength, practice more speed, you can go further."
"What Wen Hou said is extremely true, from today onwards, my training will have to be strengthened."
