While Gao Fei and the Xianbei people near Mayi were actively preparing for the upcoming war, Lu Bu, who was far away in Sili Hulao Pass, was already fighting with Cao Cao's army in full swing.
"Kill...kill them all hard, don't let a single Wei soldier go!" Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and clashed under Hulao Pass. Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, he kept ending the enemy's attacks.
Life, while roaring loudly.
The setting sun was setting in the west, the setting sun was like blood, and corpses were everywhere outside Hulao Pass. The five hundred elite cavalry led by Lu Bu were like a ferocious flood, sweeping through the positions of the Wei army's soldiers.
"Hold it! Hold it! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!" On the Wei army's position, Cao Ren stood on his horse with a sharp sword in his hand, roaring angrily while beheading the retreating soldiers on the spot.
"Wow..."
Cao Ren immediately beheaded a retreating soldier, and blood spattered all over his body. However, his words were like farts, not even as good as farts, and he could not restrain the retreating soldiers at all.
The soldiers of the Wei army were so defeated that they were filled with terror, and their fighting spirit had long been wiped out by Lu Bu. Once they retreated, they were unstoppable and trampled to death hundreds of infantrymen who came up from behind.
After Hulao was closed, Cao Xing led many archers to fire arrows non-stop. The sound of arrows piercing the air immediately killed the enemy soldiers. Arrows fell like rain, and the dense arrows suppressed the attacking soldiers with great force.
, and beside the city gate,
Lu Bu with his five hundred elite cavalry was even more unstoppable. Everywhere he passed was like entering a no man's land. His horse hooves trampled the corpses of the enemy soldiers and continuously attacked the soldiers who tried to attack the city. In just a short time, they were defeated.
This made the entire Wei army feel frightened.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow shot through the air and shot towards Cao Ren, who was directing the battle.
"Hold it! Those who retreat..." Cao Ren was shouting with his sword, his voice was hoarse, and he let out the deepest roar. However, before he could say this, he turned around and saw a sharp arrow shooting at him.
He was taken aback, and hurriedly dodged, turning his body slightly. Although the arrow missed his vital point, it still entered his body.
"Wow..."
With a scream, the inertia brought by the arrow shot Cao Ren off the horse. The arrow hit his right chest. He fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground with a "plop".
"Brother..." Cao Chun, who was leading the tiger and leopard cavalry in the front army to block Lu Bu, saw this and immediately shouted loudly. He swiped his spear and stabbed a Jin soldier to death, then turned his horse and ran back.
As soon as Cao Chun retreated, three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry immediately formed a group and blocked Cao Chun's back. They fought and retreated, not panicking at all because of the general's retreat.
"Save the general quickly...save the general quickly..." Han Hao and Shi Huan both came to the rescue from the left and right wings.
Cao Ren fell from his horse, and the soldiers behind him immediately helped Cao Ren up. Without saying a word, they directly held Cao Ren up and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
"Can't...retreat...resist...resist..." Cao Ren vomited blood and his eyes were confused. He stretched out a hand and tightly grasped the arm of a soldier, shouting in a very weak voice.
"Ding ding ding..."
Upon seeing this, Man Chong, who was watching the battle from the watchtower of the camp, immediately made a judgment and asked the troops to withdraw their troops.
At the gate of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu saw Cao Ren being shot and wounded and the Wei army retreating. He was already bloody and excited. He waved the blood-stained Fang Tian Hua Ji and roared with all his strength: "Kill! Kill me!"
"
The remaining more than 400 elite cavalry behind him immediately followed Lu Bu and rushed over, trampling on the retreating Wei soldiers and slaughtering the infantrymen who were running at the rear.
Man Chong was far-sighted, and when he saw Lu Bu taking advantage of the situation to attack, he immediately shouted: "Archers, prepare, don't let the enemy get even half a step closer to the camp!"
Lu Bu led hundreds of cavalry in a non-stop pursuit. When he was about to reach the Wei army camp, he suddenly saw arrows flying in the sky. He hurriedly used Fang Tian's painted halberd to block them, but not all of the cavalry following him
Just like him, many people dodged in a hurry and were hit by several arrows. When he saw the enemy troops retreating back to the camp and surrounded by archers, he immediately reined in his horses and shouted loudly: "Go back to the city!"
After giving the order, Lu Bu and his hundreds of cavalrymen turned around and returned to the city. In a blink of an eye, they trampled on the corpses of countless soldiers and retreated to Hulao Pass.
Man Chong stood on the watchtower and saw Lu Bu leading his troops to leave. He breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed: "Lü Bu is really brave and extraordinary. After seeing it with my own eyes today, I know that the name of 'Flying General' is not false. He only led five
Hundreds of cavalrymen defeated thousands of siege soldiers until they were all frightened. This kind of bravery is beyond the reach of even Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who is at my lord's side."
As soon as he finished speaking, Man Chong ordered all the generals to guard the camp. He then went down from the watchtower and went straight into Cao Ren's tent.
In the big tent, Cao Ren was lying on the couch. Cao Chun, Han Hao, and Shi Huan were all lying in front of the couch. Cao Chun was holding Cao Ren's hand, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Military doctor... hurry up and call the military doctor..." Cao Chun roared loudly. Looking at Cao Ren who was lying unconscious on the bed, he had already lost his original reason.
Man Chong entered the tent, saw this scene, and said hurriedly: "Han Hao, Shi Huan!"
Han Hao and Shi Huan immediately stood up, cupped their hands and said, "What are your orders for joining the army?"
Man Chong said: "When will General Xiahou arrive?"
Han Hao said: "General Xiahou ordered us to lead a thousand cavalry to come to support first. I think we will arrive tomorrow."
Man Chong sighed: "I didn't expect that just two days after the war started, our army suffered such heavy casualties. Lu Bu was unstoppable. My lord was still dispatching troops and generals in Chenliu to prepare food and fodder. Our vanguard army attacked fiercely for two days and was unable to capture the tiger."
Prison, I no longer have the face to wait for the main force. I only hope that General Xiahou’s reinforcements will come quickly and storm Hulao Pass with several times the enemy’s force. You two will go to strengthen the fort now, comfort the wounded soldiers, and strengthen night patrols.”
Han Hao and Shi Huan replied in unison: "No!"
When Man Chong saw Han Hao, Shi Huan left the tent and went straight to Cao Chun. He glanced at the unconscious Cao Ren who was hit by an arrow, patted Cao Chun's shoulder gently, and comforted softly: "You can rest assured.
, the arrow hit by the general was not a critical point, and it was protected by iron armor. The arrow was shot from such a distance.
, has become the end of the crossbow, just pull out the arrow. Now the top priority is to stabilize the morale of the army. In the past two days, every time Lu Bu took advantage of our army to attack the city and led 500 cavalry to fight, it has wiped out the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
If it falls, if it continues like this, I'm afraid the army will lose morale and collapse without a fight."
After hearing this, Cao Chun turned his face and asked, "Is there any way to join the army?"
Man Chong sighed and said: "Today, even I was a little frightened when I saw Lu Bu standing on the watchtower, let alone a soldier fighting on the front line. The most important thing now is to go to Chenliu."
, invite Dian Wei and Xu Chu who are beside the lord to come together to help. The lord prepares food.
Hey, we are dispatching troops and generals. We are busy with official duties, and we also need to be prepared for Yuan Shu's possible sneak attack. Just staying in Xuzhou, Qingzhou's troops account for two-thirds of our army. If we attack Lu Bu with all our strength, Yuan Shu is likely to send troops to sneak attack.
Yanzhou, so the lord must take care of the aftermath before coming."
"Joining the army means that I can go back and invite Dian Wei and Xu Chu?"
"There is another meaning. Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and generals, he does not have many good generals. You fought with the Song Army last year, and the soldiers of the Song Army still remember you fresh. If they knew that you were guarding the border of Yanzhou, maybe they would
They dare not venture in easily."
"But...my eldest brother is still in a coma, how could I just walk away like this?"
"The general's injury is not serious. You can leave with peace of mind. I will be in charge here. I can at least resist Lu Bu for a while. Compared with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu is the lord's most serious concern. Now many princes have sent troops to attack, except for Hebei.
Except for Gao Fei and our army, the rest of the princes are still waiting and watching. If Lu Bu is given a chance to breathe, the consequences will be disastrous."
Cao Chun thought for a while, wiped away his tears, stood up, and said loudly: "Okay, I'll go back. I just want to join the army and take good care of my elder brother!"
Man Chong said: "General, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of General Cao."
At this time, the military doctor hurriedly came in and treated Cao Ren's injury immediately. Cao Chun asked the military doctor about Cao Ren's injury. The military doctor said that Cao Ren was not seriously injured and would need to be nursed back to health for a few days. After hearing this, Cao Chun left with peace of mind.
…
In Hulao Pass, Lu Bu washed away all the blood and stains, put on casual clothes, held a celebration banquet in the official residence in Guancheng, and publicly rewarded Cao Xing with some property.
"Hahaha, Cao Xing, you shot the arrow well. I hope Cao Ren dies tonight." Lu Bu praised loudly while drinking.
Cao Xing also looked happy, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord, for the reward. It's just such a pity today. The arrow was supposed to hit Cao Ren's heart, but Cao Ren actually shook his body and hit the upper and lower right chest instead.
If I meet him again next time, I will shoot him to death with one arrow."
Guo Jia sat there very calmly, dragging his chin and comforting him: "Lord, don't be careless. Our army only has 5,000 troops at Hulao Pass, and the enemy has more than 10,000 troops. Xiahou Dun, the governor of Dongjun, is also coming with his troops.
, Cao Cao did not personally go out, but he was afraid that there would be a long and hard battle in the future. Xiahou Dun is a general of the Wei army. It is said that he is unstoppable, so you need to be careful."
"Hmph! What does Xiahou Dun mean? If he dares to come, I will shoot his heart and lungs with an arrow and send him to see the King of Hell!" Cao Xing said coldly.
"Okay, this is the general of our Jin army. If all our Jin army's athletes are like you, even if there are only five thousand men, as long as we guard Hulao Pass, I won't be afraid even if Cao Cao has a hundred thousand troops coming."
Lu Bu praised.
Cao Xing paid his respects and said, "Thank you so much, my lord, for your compliments."
Guo Jiadao: "Lord, it's better to be careful in everything."
"Guo Jin, you have contributed a lot to the two-day war. If you hadn't provided advice to attack the enemy when they were attacking the city, so that the enemy could not set up siege weapons, I would not have achieved such a victory. You still have
You're not eating meat, are you? How about I reward you with a beautiful woman tonight?" Lu Bu said happily.
Guo Jiadao: "This..."
"Don't do this, that, that's settled."
"Subordinate...subordinate, I obey!" Guo Jia said helplessly.
(Author's note: Alas, as of today, more than 210,000 words have been updated this month. The updates are pretty good, but the subscriptions have been declining. They are obviously not as powerful as the previous two months. Without subscriptions, there will be no passion for creation.
, I have no motivation to write. I would like to appeal to everyone to give me some motivation and support me to finish writing this book. After all, so far
So far, I have only written one-third of this book. If you subscribe, I will write as hard as I can. Without motivation, there will be no source of creation. If you have any opinions, you can join the group and post a book review.
, I will try my best to write this book well. It has been updated since October 18, 2010, and it has been one hundred and fifty so far.
It took five months to write 100,000 words, which is an average of 300,000 words per month. This writing speed is far beyond my ability compared to before. I often stay up late to write. I type slowly, only 2,000 words an hour.
For three chapters, it takes about 4.5 to 5 hours. There is no break or interruption. Sometimes I really don’t want to write anymore when I’m tired.
, but when I remembered that everyone was still waiting anxiously, I calmed down and started writing. Now I am updating while I am sick. Although the time is unstable, it is basically maintained at three chapters a day. I don’t ask for anything, I just ask for your efforts.
Let me find the original passion for writing. After all, I don’t want to end up with tj. I hope we can work hard together...)
