"Cao Cao has sent troops?" Chu Nan looked at the news from the scouts ahead with some surprise.
Lu Bu's side has not yet officially sent out troops, but Cao Cao actually took the initiative to lead his troops there. Fortunately, this side is already in a state of ready to go out at any time, otherwise it would be easy to be caught off guard by Cao Cao's move.
"You came just in time!" Lu Bu took the bamboo slips and looked at it, then stood up with a sneer and said: "Last time in the battle in Puyang, I was taken advantage of by the thief Cao, but today I want justice!"
The last time he was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Puyang, Lu Bu was always worried about it. Although Cao Cao commanded an army powerfully, Lu Bu always felt that his strength was not fully utilized, so the battle ended. This made him hold back a ball of fire. At this moment
Hearing that Cao Cao finally led his troops out of the city for a decisive battle, Lu Bu was only excited. He wanted to avenge his previous humiliation!
"Father-in-law, don't be anxious. Let's straighten out the army first. We'll beat him to pieces. According to my son-in-law, our army should be the main force in this battle. General Huang's 20,000 newly surrendered troops cannot be used at this time and should be hidden."
Yu Hei Lu Jian!" Chu Nan said, grabbing Lu Bu who wanted to gather everyone for a fight.
Huang Zhong's soldiers are newly surrendered soldiers. Not to mention that they don't have a sense of belonging at all now. Even if they do, they won't be able to exert much combat power. It's a blessing if they don't surrender to the enemy during the war. Pulling these soldiers onto the battlefield together with the main force will only
It’s not surprising that it will become a drag or even defection.
"What Zi Yan said is true." Lu Bu nodded, looked at Huang Zhong and said, "But it would be unfair for the general to stay in Heilvjian. The stakes in this battle are very important, so the general should bring a group of troops into the battle to participate in this battle!"
Lu Bu knew Huang Zhong's abilities. He was a man whose martial arts skills were not inferior to Guan Zhang's and whose archery skills were not inferior to his own. Lu Bu was very optimistic about him. At this time, the decisive battle with Cao Cao was imminent. It would be a loss if Huang Zhong could not participate in the battle!
"Here!" Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a pity if he could not participate in such a battle.
As for the surrender of the army, Huang Zhong's several lieutenants and generals selected from the surrender were in charge. Huang Zhong selected many talented people from the army to be promoted to generals. The previous generals of Cao's army were either demoted or demoted.
It's empty.
In this way, the people who are now in charge of the Jiangjun are all promoted by Huang Zhong. At least most of these people are close to Huang Zhong. At the same time, they have a good relationship with the Jiangjun under them and can coordinate the relationship well. This is why Huang Zhong can
The reason for controlling this surrendered army in such a short period of time.
As far as the surrendering army is concerned, even if Huang Zhong is not here at this time, those generals can help him keep an eye on the army. Of course, the premise is not to fight. The newly surrendered troops can look scary, but if they are really pulled on the battlefield, they will not be dealt with.
It’s still the same Paoze as before. I can’t imagine what kind of results he will achieve.
"Marquis Wen, I am also willing to fight." Zhang Xiu stood up and said with a smile: "I deeply regret that I was unable to kill the Cao thief before. If I can join forces with Marquis Wen today, I will definitely kill this person!"
"Jin Rong is plundering my formation. If there is a chance, I will give Cao Cao a ruthless trick." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Xiu and said.
It is definitely not possible to directly integrate Zhang Xiu's troops into his own military formation. The orders from both sides must not be exactly the same. Once they are incorporated, people will not be able to understand the orders. This will only make the military formation chaotic and not conducive to command. It is better to let them
Zhang Xiu fights alone and sees the right opportunity to cooperate with Lu Bu!
"Okay!" Zhang Xiu obviously understood this and it was also the best way to cooperate. He immediately nodded in agreement and went to prepare troops and horses to prepare for the battle with Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu simply arranged the generals, he immediately sent out his troops to fight. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses quickly left the camp, formed a battle formation outside the camp, and marched towards Xuchang with Lu Bu's order.
This time, Cao Cao sent troops first. Lu Bu got the news that Cao Cao had already sent troops for some time. If the pigeon demon hadn't sent the message, the scouts might not have been able to outrun Cao Cao's army. Not long after Lu Bu walked here, he watched from a distance near Zhaoling.
See the enemy's army.
After Cao Cao and Lu Bu noticed each other's traces, they quickly adjusted their marching speed, and at the same time began to gather momentum, estimating the opponent's distance, and were ready to take action at any time.
"Heavy Arrow Formation!" As the commander-in-chief, Lu Bu can mobilize the power of the generals in this military formation, and the generals in this military formation are like the gods of heaven and earth. While helping Lu Bu sort out the military formation, they also
He can add his own abilities to the military formation and let Lu Bu use them.
Naturally, Lu Bu can also use arrow arrays, but Huang Zhong's heavy arrow array is obviously unique, and not even Lu Bu can use it.
At this moment, it was displayed with the help of the military formation, and the power seemed to be a bit stronger than before.
"Buzz buzz~"
Following Huang Zhong's order, sharp arrows roared through the air. As sharp arrows shot out from the Jianghuai army formation, circles of ripples formed by air condensation appeared in the sky, like raindrops falling in a pool.
Generally speaking, spectacular!
With the support of the military formation, three thousand sharp arrows fell towards the enemy formation like meteorites falling from the sky.
In Cao Jun's military formation, Cao Cao frowned when he saw this scene. There were more and more people under Lu Bu's tent. The power of this arrow formation, if encountered by ordinary generals, might even destroy the military formation.
Guo Jia made a hand seal, and Cao Cao's military formation turned into a Tai Chi diagram in the air. Cao Cao then poured the power of the military formation into it! Tai Chi Hua Formation!
The heavy arrows that fell like meteorites landed on the Tai Chi diagram, emitting bursts of violent buzzing. The surrounding air and the earth trembled violently as if they were boiling. However, none of the arrows could penetrate the Tai Chi diagram's defense.
Finally, his strength was exhausted, and he fell weakly onto the soldier's armor, making a chaotic sound.
Lu Bu watched this scene from a distance and snorted angrily, "Cao Cao's men know how to do these fancy things. If the public platform is here, he can also do it."
Naturally, it was impossible for Cao Cao to just defend without attacking. After the heavy arrow formation was blocked, he immediately started to counterattack. However, in the originally clear sky, endless black energy suddenly gathered to form a dark cloud. This dark cloud looked extremely low.
, looking up, as if you can reach out and touch it, electric snakes are flashing in the clouds.
"Royal!" Lu Bu shouted sharply, and an air shield was formed above the army. Immediately afterwards, countless thunderbolts were seen falling, but they were blocked by the air shield. They disappeared with a burst of explosions, but the dark clouds continued to brew thunder, which seemed to be endless.
.
"Cut!" The moment the thunder stopped, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, and then slashed it down. In Chu Nan's shocked eyes, the dark cloud was directly chopped away by the halberd turned into by Lu Bu's halberd.
.
So it was not an illusion, but the clouds were really low!
Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was thinking that if Cao Cao could really change the sky through military formations, what would he do with it?
Although he has experienced many battles, this was the first time he encountered such methods and scenes. It really felt like a fairy tale.
While Chu Nan was thinking, he saw that Lu Bu's halberd did not stop after cutting through the dark clouds, but turned into a huge square-shaped halberd and fell towards the opponent's military formation.
Cao Cao looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Bagua Four Phase Formation!"
The power of the military formation surged, and a huge Eight Trigrams shadow was formed. In the shadow, there were four phases flying faintly. The moment the shadow of the halberd fell, the four phases greeted each other with roars of filial piety.
"Boom~"
Amidst the thunderous roar, the whole world seemed to be shaking. After being in a stalemate for a quarter of an hour, the Bagua phantom and Fang Tian's painted halberd disappeared almost simultaneously.
The two sides fought for three rounds, with each other attacking and defending, and finally it was a draw. However, after this battle, the strength of both sides' military formations was much weaker, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
Cao Cao felt the power of the military formation being consumed, and knew that if this continued, the power of the military formation would be exhausted first.
On the other side, Lu Bu also noticed that the strength of the military formation was somewhat depleted by such a fight between the two sides, but he didn't care much. After all, even if there was no military formation and he rushed forward, how many people in Cao's army could stop him?
"Fengxian, we don't have much hatred between you and me, so why are we so stubborn?" Cao Cao's voice was blessed by the military formation and floated from afar, as if he was talking next to him. Immediately after, he saw the military formation appear out of thin air.
A shadow of Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and smiled.
"Sikong said there wasn't much grudge, but did he say that he secretly conspired with the Chen family and his son to conspire against Xuzhou in the past? Or did he send Zhong Yao to bring twenty pregnant daughters?"
"Sikong, my father-in-law never intended to be an enemy of Sikong. However, Sikong pressed forward step by step and refused to give me a way to survive. In private, Sikong and my father-in-law fought to the death. In Gong, we also accepted your majesty's edict. This time before
I'm here for Lord Qing!"
When Chu Nan said this, he paused and then said: "If Sikong still has the slightest intention of being a Han minister, what he should do now is not lead his army to resist our army, but open the city gate wide and welcome our army into the city under the bushes! For
Sikong will atone for his sins in this life!"
Cao Cao almost collapsed due to Chu Nan's anger. This guy didn't know how to open the pot, and he was dedicated to exposing people's shortcomings.
"Zi Yan's words are still so sharp. Can you give me a look at the edict?" Cao Cao laughed dryly, but looked at Lu Bu for the second sentence. He really didn't want to say more to this kid.
"I never brought it with me." Lu Bu said calmly.
"That means there is no edict!"
"Don't say that there is no edict, even if there is, Fengxian's move is already a rebellion against superiors!" Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and sighed: "Fengxian, you and I have known each other for many years. Cao Cao knows very well that Fengxian is not an ambitious person.
You and I can both contribute to the imperial court and not just fight one way or another, so why do we have to end up in this situation where we are at war with each other?"
"Sikong's words are wrong." Chu Nan looked at Cao Cao with a disgusted expression on his face and said: "It's not my father-in-law who wants to fight hard, but at this point in the war between our two families, no one will retreat. If my father-in-law retreats,
It is very likely that he will be the resentful spirit downstairs of Baimen in the future. If Mr. Cao retreats, we can still leave the Cao family a way to survive. How about... Mr. Cao retreats? "
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he looked at Lu Bu and said, "So, Fengxian must be with me..."
"Pfft~"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu waved his hand, and Cao Cao's shadow suddenly disappeared.
"If you want to fight, let's fight. Why all this nonsense?"
Lu Bu's voice was heard far away from the enemy formation, and Cao Cao opened his eyes with a gloomy expression.
