The captives were silent and were all fighting for thought.

I soon started to choose, some people chose to farm, some people chose to join the army, and some people jumped into the pit and prepared to accept the feud.

Xu Shu was reluctant to let go and asked, "Why did you choose this path?"

"We are General Cao's personal soldiers, and we are as grateful as a mountain of grace as the general, and we are unwilling to join the Xuzhou army."

Xu Shu shook his head: "Your General Cao Ren has left you and fled, it is not worth it for him."

"What, we don't believe it. Didn't General Cao die in battle?"

"No, Cao Ren and Cheng Yu escaped from Ximen, and their whereabouts are unknown."

The soldiers who were originally clamoring to die for the feud climbed up again and went to the ranks of farming obediently.

At the age of twenty or thirty, it’s better than a donkey. It’s a pity to bury it like this.

According to the Xuzhou army's military farming skills, one person can support three soldiers.

Due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there is a lot of barren land. Now manpower is urgently needed to reclaim wasteland. With sweet potatoes and high-yield crops like potatoes, they can feed more people and will make farming more developed in the future.

The war was good, and the more we fought, the stronger we became. After this battle, more than 8,000 people were collected, half were willing to join the army, and half were willing to farm.

They were sent back to Xuzhou, trained separately, and farmed separately. Some went to Pengcheng, some went to Xiapi, and some went to Xiaopei.

The soldiers were sent back to the barracks and were trained separately. When the training was completed, they would become Xuzhou Army.

Small soldiers are different from generals, such as Xu Huang.

He could not surrender or dared to surrender. Why? His family was hundreds of people in Xudu. He was fine if he died in battle. Once he surrendered, the whole family would be over.

But the soldiers are different. No one knows whether they died in battle or surrender, and no one cares about their families.

And there is another point, this is a war between princes fighting for hegemony. Whether it is Cao Cao or Lu Bu, are they all Han officials. They are just changing the boss, who can give him food and fight for whom.

Whoever loves them, whom they love.

It's such a simple thing, there's no need to make it complicated.

In Jizhou, Gao Shun received the order from Lu Bu and was surprised to take Luoyang for twenty days. He still violated the order from the time he received the military order.

Lu Bu rarely issues such strict military orders, and once issued it, it indicates the seriousness of the situation.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun immediately arranged to dispatch troops.

There must be enough soldiers left behind in several large cities such as Puyang, Jizhou, and Changshan.

"The lord said he could call Zhentian Camp to join the war?" Gao Shun asked.

Lu Su looked at the military order: "I didn't say it, but Xingyang has been fought, and Xingyang is so close to Luoyang, it is definitely possible to adjust. According to normal reasoning, the lord's army of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan took Xingyang but lost some fur. Why did you send us? There is only one reason, that is, Cao Cao made the lord angry."

Yes, whether there is Zhentian Camp or not, Luoyang has to fight.

Gao Shun planned to mobilize 1,000 people in the trapped camp, 20,000 iron horse soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 10,000 civilians. A total of 50,000 people and horses were needed, and there were no need for too many generals.

The chief general Gao Shun, military advisor Lu Su, deputy general Wen Chou, and Cao Ping. Other generals cannot move. If such a large Jizhou is no longer defending, it will be empty.

Wen Chou and Cao Ping were waiting at Baima. Gao Shun and Lu Su led the camp, and the Iron Horse Army headed first. The infantry and baggage troops followed slowly.

The biggest advantage of Lu Bu's development in recent years is to solve the food problem. The soldiers can not only eat enough, but also eat well. Barbecue noodles, sorghum rice, dried bacon, and dried vegetables. There are a large amount of stockpiling in Wuchao. Wuchao is a city with no residents, but there are many granaries and thousands of pigs.

The army set out and headed south all the way, gathering the Wen Chou army on the white horse. The smoke and dust rolled along the way, and the small groups of Cao soldiers did not even have the chance to resist.

He was beaten and threw away his armor and fled in a panic.

Fight all the way to the Mangshan Camp.

There is a towering military camp in front of me, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a large flag is flying in the camp with the word Cao written on it.

"The guard Cao Xiu is a general of the Cao clan. He is also a powerful general like Cao Chun. This camp is strong and comparable to the city." Lu Su pointed at the camp.

"How many defenders?"

"About five thousand people."

"Okay, set up a camp and take a detour tomorrow, don't worry about them."

"yes."

The key point of the blitzkrieg is its fast speed. Gao Shun must cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and take down Luoyang. He can even get rid of five thousand people in the march. There is no need to waste time with them here.

The next day, Cao Xiu was stunned. Gao Shun's army went east and did not come to attack them.

"Are Gao Shun stupid? Why don't you come to take down our camp? They aren't afraid of cutting off the baggage."

"Return to the general, their Iron Horse Army carried a small amount of baggage on the back seat, and the cavalry was one man and two horses, and they also carried food and grass."

Cao Xiu understood that this was a deep battle within Cao Cao's forces. If there was really no food or grass, he could collect grain on the spot.

"The whole army attacks, we must stop them."

Cao Xiu only left hundreds of people to defend the camp, and the five thousand main forces attacked, trying to bite the tail of Gao Shun's army.

Gao Shun knew that the enemy came out, but he was not in a hurry to stop. More than 10,000 cavalry could run around in the wilderness, but the Iron Horse Army was not good enough. He walked on the official road and rode very fast.

After walking for seven or eight miles, Gao Shun ordered the team to stop.

The Iron Horse Army gathered quickly, and the cavalry gathered quickly.

The two armies faced each other, and the flags flew.

Under the banner of Daqi, Lu Su laughed: "Cao Xiu, you were fooled. The tiger is separated from the deep mountains and the fish is separated from the water. You have no way out now."

Cao Xiu shook his spear in his hand: "How can I not see through the conspiracy of you and others? A real man does something and does not do anything. Even if he dies, I will bite down a piece of your meat."

"I'm so arrogant, let's see the iron horse army's arrow formation."

Five thousand archers, bent their bows like the moon, were shot and went straight away.

Aggressively, it was nailed to the enemy's positions like raindrops.

Cao Xiu's army had many shields and armor. Even so, he lost 10% of his soldiers.

However, the formation was not chaotic and he actually launched a charge.

The soldiers holding the small round shield and the machete charge forward in a swarm. The second round of bow and arrow baptism was better this time.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of small iron cannons emerged from the Iron Horse Army formation, which were so small that they were not conspicuous.

The torch was lit, booming, booming, booming, the huge sound was deafening, and the iron sand buzzed past, and the more than a thousand enemy soldiers running in front were like wheatgrass blown down by the strong wind.

The soldiers behind had a temporary brain short circuit, not knowing whether it was an attack or a retreat.

A soldier was frightened and shouted, then ran away, and more people followed him.

This is the herd effect. The people behind don’t know what the situation is, so they just run away.

Wen Chou led the cavalry to dispatch, and more than 10,000 cavalry swept the wind and clouds. This cavalry mainly consisted of spears and maces. Wherever they passed, the enemy soldiers fled in scattered.

Wen Chou opened the way with a big knife, and no one could resist it. He headed straight for Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu used a spear.

"Ugly ghost, look at the gun."

Wen Chou is called ugly, but it is not ugly. The most disgusting others say he is ugly.

The two of them fought together and fought to the same place.

The generals are living and dying, and that is a flash of lightning.

Cao Xiu did not have the ability of Cao Chun, but he was cut off by Wen Chou with a knife.

The remaining soldiers surrendered and collected more than a thousand soldiers.

The Mangshan camp was destroyed, and Gao Shun arranged a deputy general to lead more than 2,000 people to guard the place.
