In Lu Yan's memory, the Battle of Guandu lasted for almost half a year and more.
In the age of cold weapons, a war was often long-lasting and not the kind we imagined that would end in a rush of killing and shooting.
What is supposed to come will eventually come. Less than ten days after Cao Jun returned to Guandu, Yuan Shao led an army of more than 400,000 and came overwhelming!
Outside the camp, the sound of drums shook the sky.
The rumble of war drums ignited Lu Yan's long-standing passion.
Lu Yan, with Xia Houlan's help, put on a brand new armor today.
This full-body armor comes from a system reward, called: Golden Lacquer Mountain Wenjia, from the Ming Dynasty. Effect: greatly improves defense and slightly increases charm.
The Ming Dynasty is known as the best armor in the world, and the armor of the Ming Dynasty not only had excellent defensive power, but also had very beautiful styles, such as the trendy V-neck.
Lu Yan wears a phoenix-winged helmet on his head and a gold-lacquered armor with a mouth-swallowing beast. The mouth-swallowing beast on his waist just bites a gold-rimmed belt, making Lu Yan look both majestic and noble.
As the name suggests, the Golden Paint Mountain Wenjia is mainly made of gold, with red and black colors symbolizing the orthodoxy of the Han people and the connotation of recovering the country.
Lu Yan was already in great shape, and when he put on this suit of armor that sold well, he immediately became a majestic Confucian general with an extraordinary temperament.
"Oh my god, sir, when did you come up with such a powerful armor?"
Lu Yan looked at himself in the mirror, who was completely different from the past. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he said, "This is called Mountain Wenjia. It's the first time it's been on the battlefield. In the future, each of you will be given a set."
Xia Houlan's face was filled with envy.
This mountain armor is much better than this era in terms of appearance and defense, but the most important thing is that wearing it is so handsome and stylish!
At this moment, the sound of war drums outside became more intense. It seemed that the battle between Cao and Yuan had already begun before the two sides engaged in battle.
Lu Yan and Xia Houlan walked out of the camp. Outside, Liu Bei's three brothers, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei had been waiting for a long time.
After seeing Lu Yan wearing golden lacquered mountain armor, the eyes of Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and others suddenly lit up!
"Sir, your armor..." Zhao Yun asked.
"When you go back, let the workshop make one for each of you!"
"Thank you sir!" Zhao Yun and others smiled happily.
But Dian Wei shook his head and said angrily: "I still prefer heavy armor. The kind of plate armor with a whole steel plate on the chest is a man's ultimate dream!"
Zhang Fei nodded matter-of-factly, saying that this guy's aesthetics was very much in line with his own taste!
The corners of the mouths of the others twitched slightly, and Lu Yan smiled and said, "Do you think everyone has strange powers like you?"
"Haha...he has one too!" Dian Wei grinned, pointed at Zhang Fei beside him, and said.
It seems that the two of them have a good relationship now!
At this time, Dian Wei spoke again, "Sir, when can we go to the battlefield? These days, we only eat and sleep every day, and we sleep and run. Brothers are almost too idle to play with birds!"
Xia Houlan glared at Dian Wei and spat: "Rough embryo!"
"Yuan Shao is already here, and you will definitely be indispensable in the battle that follows."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan turned to look at Xia Houyuan, who was leading the cavalry out of the camp, and said, "Everyone, please follow me out to meet the arrogant Yuan Benchu!"
"General, I would like to follow you sir!"
There were no heroic words or passionate words. Lu Yan's ordinary words also ignited the blood of his generals!
...
Lu Yan came to the city wall and pointed the telescope in his hand at Yuan Shao's position in the distance.
Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun also holding the same long tube as Lu Yan and looking into the distance, and asked curiously: "Zilong, what is this?"
Zhao Yun looked at Lu Yan, as if waiting for Lu Yan's opinion.
Lu Yan nodded to Zhao Yun, and then handed his telescope to Taishi Ci and Gu Kan beside him.
Zhao Yun obtained Lu Yan's permission and handed the telescope to Liu Bei.
Under the guidance of Zhao Yun, Liu Bei looked into the distance through the telescope and suddenly let out a strange cry of "Ah!"
Even though Liu Bei's city was as big as the sea, he was also shocked by the scene in the telescope at this moment.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun was prepared, and just when Liu Bei was about to throw the telescope away, he snatched it away.
"This, this, this..." Liu Bei's eyes widened and he pointed at the telescope in Zhao Yun's hand. He didn't know how to describe it.
"This thing is called a telescope, and it was created by my husband. It can bring distant scenes closer and magnify them several times before your eyes, making it easier to observe the enemy's situation." After Zhao Yun explained to Liu Bei, he handed the telescope to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei once again raised the telescope in front of his eyes and looked at the camera with shock in his heart, showing Yuan Shao walking out of the military formation in a show of force.
"With the help of such magical weapons...how can the Prime Minister and Sir not be victorious in every battle?!"
Liu Bei spoke so highly of the telescope, which aroused the curiosity of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Liu Bei saw the appearance of his brothers, and after asking for Zhao Yun's consent, he handed the telescope to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Oh!!!"
"My mother!!!"
What happened to Liu Bei happened again to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei...
After discovering the magic of the telescope, their admiration and admiration for Lu Yan could not help but deepen.
...
About three hundred steps away from the city wall, Yuan Shao's army had already formed a formation.
At this time, Cao Cao also led Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, Li Dian and other generals to form a formation about fifty steps below the city wall.
After the formations of both sides were determined, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao rode out of the military formation in tacit understanding.
Yuan Shao was wearing the Mingguang armor made in the Tang Dynasty that Lu Yan had "sold" to him, a golden helmet, and a brocade robe and jade belt. His whole body reflected the golden light under the sunlight, like a golden-armored god of war descending from the sky!
On the other hand, Lao Cao, who was wearing armor that was no better than ordinary generals, looked like a pheasant facing a phoenix in front of Yuan Shao...
Although his appearance is far inferior to that of Yuan Shao, Lao Cao has a thick skin, which is far from making him feel ashamed.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stood facing each other on horseback.
When Lu Yan thought about it, the two childhood playmates met again, and he probably had a lot of things on his mind that he was not happy about.
However, the process was different from what Lu Yan expected.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not think about their past friendship at all.
And as soon as Lao Cao opened his mouth, he asked in a full official tone: "At first, I guaranteed you to be the general in front of the emperor. Now, why do you want to raise troops to attack me? Is it possible that you want to rebel?"
Rebellion? What a big hat!
Yuan Shao naturally refused to put down this colorful hat, and replied tit for tat: "Cao Mengde, you pretend to be Han Prime Minister, but you are actually a Han traitor. What you did by holding the emperor hostage to order the princes is no different from Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo.
?
Today I have been ordered to punish thieves. If you dismount and surrender, I can plead with the emperor to spare your life!"
"hehe!"
"Hmph!"
The two of them chatted for a few words, then reined in their horses and returned to their respective formations.
Lu Yan watched the two people's conversation, which lasted less than a minute, and couldn't help but make up their conversation in his mind.
