Chapter 606 The traps in front of the battle count as Cao Jun
Chapter 606: The trap in front of the battle is for Cao Jun
The gates of Xuchang City were opened. Under the leadership of five generals, Cao Cao gathered nearly 20,000 cavalry. Many of them were personal guards of Cao Jun's generals. Of course, in order to win, let alone personal guards, even if they were personal pawns, Cao Cao's army
The general would not complain at all. However, as soon as Cao Jun moved, Liu Zhang immediately got the news!
"Your Majesty, let's withdraw!" The general guarding the equipment is Meng Da. He seems to have become a professional special force. Whenever there is an attack, the equipment command must be under his management. He also likes this position. Not only does he not have
It's dangerous, and you can still earn military merit. It's much better than those generals who risk their lives and still get no merit!
"Zidu, are you afraid of death?" Looking into the distance, Liu Zhang did not give any orders, but his tone made Meng Da a little confused!
"Don't be afraid!" Meng Da patted his chest and made an impassioned gesture, but Liu Zhang didn't look back. He showed it to the blind man!
"You lied!" Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head and asked, "As the King of Qin alone, you don't even dare to tell the truth?"
"This..." Meng Da didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile.
Liu Zhang said calmly: "It is human nature to be afraid of death. Except for those who are psychologically frustrated or who really can't live, everyone is afraid of death!"
After hesitating for a long time, Meng Da asked: "Your Majesty, are you also afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid!" Liu Zhang then turned around, patted Meng Da on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Gu is also a human being, so naturally he is afraid of death. But there are some things that even if you are afraid, you have to face them! Cao Jun sent five generals, if
If we evacuate now, we will definitely lose most of the equipment in our hands. Chuan Gu ordered the thunderbolt chariot to return to the camp, and then ordered the ballistae, machine crossbows, bed crossbows and other equipment to form a formation and wait for the enemy! We must let Cao Cao know that we must attack the city.
Equipment can also kill enemies!"
"General, I obey!" Meng Da immediately passed on the order. Except for the Thunderbolt Chariot, all long-range attack equipment gathered together and slowly formed three semicircular formations. Liu Zhang and Meng Da were in the formation.
The rest of the soldiers are behind the formation!
After the Thunderbolt Chariot retreated into the camp, Liu Zhang ordered the troops to retreat more than 200 steps. No matter what, they had to leave a distance for the cavalry to attack! However, the retreat route of the Qin Army was a bit strange, because at the beginning of the retreat, the Qin Army
They seemed to be lining up, retreating along several lines, and after retreating a certain distance, they formed a formation again!
"The whole army listens to the order and charge!" General Lu Bu rushed out of the city with 20,000 cavalry, formed a formation at the city gate, and rushed towards the Qin army. At this time, the Qin army also retreated to form a formation.
"The whole army obeys the order!" Liu Zhang pulled out his snake-slaying sword and shouted: "Ahead, the first team is ready, the second and third teams are firing arrows!"
"Crack, click, click..." There was a sound of mechanical springs, and all the instruments began to load arrows, but the crossbow cart with the closest range was at the end. Cao Jun launched an attack, and 20,000 cavalry rushed towards the Qin army. As soon as they entered the shooting range, they heard a single sound
He shouted: "The first team shoots straight, the second and third teams prepare!"
"Buzzing..." The sound of the huge bowstring was like a hornet's nest being punctured. The giant arrows used in siege of the city flew towards Cao Cao's cavalry. The dense cavalry formation was penetrated by these huge arrows, and was knocked out.
The men and horses were nailed to the ground together. Cao Jun was unlucky, and even several people were shot through by an arrow, and then they were nailed to the ground.
"Disperse..." Lu Bu was shocked. He had never thought that siege equipment could be used in this way. Of course, it is not his fault. Except for the Qin Dynasty, among all the princes, only Liu Zhang was using the assembly line. There was no assembly line.
As you can imagine, the speed of instrument manufacturing among the princes is also the reason why Zhou Yu dared to use 100,000 arrows to embarrass Zhuge Liang in history.
Commonly used arrows are very simple to make. They just need arrowheads, arrow shafts, and tail feathers. A craftsman under Cao Cao can make dozens of arrows in a day. A thousand craftsmen can make more than ten thousand at most. But Liu Zhang's craftsmanship
If you make ordinary arrows, you can make a million arrows a day, because the process of making arrows is too simple. If each person is responsible for one step, only skilled workers are needed to assemble them. A skilled craftsman can assemble at least a thousand arrows a day! Therefore,
, Liu Zhang dared to consume a large amount of arrows when he was attacking a city!
The three-stage shot composed of long-range siege equipment defeated Lu Bu in one fell swoop. If he had led his troops directly into the Qin army, Liu Zhang could only let the whole army press on him. But he actually let the troops disperse and missed it.
A good opportunity. When he charged again, the Qin army's equipment caused him to lose a lot of soldiers. However, Lu Bu was indeed an outstanding cavalry commander. He immediately saw the Qin army's omission. He waved his halberd and ordered
The soldiers under his command rushed into the Qin army's formation regardless of the cost!
"Lu Fengxian is really a hero!" Seeing that Lu Bu found a way to break through so quickly, Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, but Meng Da standing next to him was a little anxious. These equipments are the hard work of the Ministry of Industry and Meng Da
Mengda doesn't want these tools to gain military merit to be destroyed!
"Your Majesty, if Lu Bu is allowed to rush into the battle, all these instruments will be destroyed. Please think again, Your Majesty!" Meng Da gritted his teeth and stood up again, but Liu Zhang smiled!
"Zidu, don't worry!" Liu Zhang looked at Cao Jun in front of him and said, "Lü Bu is brave, but Gu is not a fool, so watch with peace of mind. Gu guarantees that these instruments of yours won't damage much!"
Meng Da was shocked when he heard this, and quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, these instruments are all yours, I'm just worried about you!"
"I understand, please watch carefully!" Liu Zhang glanced sideways at Meng Da and said nothing more, because Cao Jun had already rushed to a place 200 steps away from the siege equipment!
"玎哷哷..." Suddenly, the horse of Sergeant Cao who was rushing at the front stumbled. Then many of the horses under Sergeant Cao's soldiers neighed and threw the knights on them!
"What...what's going on?" Lu Bu looked at his soldiers in shock, only to find that there were holes on the ground as big as the mouth of a bowl, which could just fit a horse's hoof in. No matter how stupid Lu Bu was, he understood the cause and effect.
He couldn't help but point his halberd at Liu Zhang and said: "Liu Jiyu, you are still so despicable! You have become the king of Qin, and you still don't know how to fight head-on! If you have the guts, come out and fight me!"
After picking his ears, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Lu Fengxian, after so many years, you are still such an idiot! Soldiers are deceitful! If you are so reckless, you will only be defeated! Don't think about it, Cao Cao's martial arts is not as good as
Gu, he can take care of you, how can Gu not be your opponent? The tiger prison was closed, Gu slashed you with a sword, has the wound on your chest healed?"
"You..." Seeing Liu Zhang exposing his scars again, Lu Bu became angry. He raised his halberd and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and follows me to attack the Qin army. I swear to kill Liu Zhang today!"
"Idiot!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "It is a miracle that he has not died after so many years. Of course, it is even more of a miracle that he can tolerate such a person! Zidu, have you learned Gu Gang's command method?
?”
"King Qi, I learned it!" Meng Da nodded. Three-stage shooting is about shooting arrows at the right time. If he can't learn this, he is stupid!
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "You take over the command from Gu, I will just watch the fun here!"
"This..." Meng Da hesitated a little. He still remembered what Liu Zhang said just now and didn't dare to obey!
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice; "You are a general, and it is your responsibility to command the army. You can't always do it alone! Don't you have confidence?"
"Yes!" It is better to provoke the general than to invite him. Meng Da patted his chest. He did not want to be despised by Liu Zhang, so Liu Zhang, who handed over the command, rode his horse and watched the fun.
Meng Da, who took over the command, used countless arrows to repair Cao's army. Lu Bu lived up to his reputation as a fierce general. He could even deflect giant spear-like arrows with one halberd. Although it was a bit difficult for Yan Liang and the others to pick them off, they were still there.
He kept approaching the battle formation. Seeing Cao's army gradually approaching, Meng Da became a little anxious. Just when Lu Bu was still twenty steps away from the battle formation, there was a loud noise. Not only did Cao's army at the front disappear, but also Lu Bu
Gone too!
I don't know when, a big pit appeared in front of the battle, and a large number of Cao's soldiers rushed into the pit, including Lu Bu! The pit was full of swords, and almost all of Cao's soldiers who fell into the pit died, even if they were still breathing.
Now, he was also dying. Only Lu Bu, not only was he not stabbed to death by the sword in the pit, but he also protected the red rabbit and horse!
"Retreat..." The last resort was exhausted, and Liu Zhang immediately ordered a retreat. Although he wanted to add insult to injury, the pit was only a few meters wide and the war horse could easily jump over it. The equipment in his hand was much more valuable than a reckless man like Lu Bu! However,
, precisely because Lu Bu fell into the trap, he was able to bring the equipment back intact!
"Liu Jiyu, you are despicable!" After finally being rescued, Lu Bu looked at Sergeant Cao's soldiers in the pit, still a little worried. If Chitu Ma hadn't suddenly paused, he would have died in the pit. The angry Lu Bu once again
He invited Liu Zhang to fight, but why would Liu Zhang pay attention to him? Gaozu would never be stupid enough to challenge Xiang Yu to a duel, and Liu Zhang would never compete with Lu Bu!
Watching the Qin army slowly retreating to the camp, Lu Bu sighed helplessly. Of the 20,000 cavalry, there were only more than 15,000 left. He was a little embarrassed after losing 5,000 cavalry in just one battle.
He met Cao Cao. However, he had to return his orders to Cao Cao, so he could only retreat to Xuchang with the remaining soldiers under his command.
Back in Xuchang, Lu Bu knelt down in front of Cao Cao's bed and stopped talking. He really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao, was very eloquent. He carefully explained the defeat of Cao Cao's army. Listen.
Seeing the pitiful results of the battle and looking at the embarrassed Lu Bu, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Order Lu Bu to cut off the rear with five men and retreat!"
After receiving Cao Cao's order, the helpless Cheng Yu began to prepare to retreat. That night, Cao Cao was carried into a carriage and led his army to slowly retreat towards Runan City. In order to prevent Liu Zhang from knowing, Cheng Yu inserted an enemy at the top of the city.
It was full of straw men, pretending to still have a large army. Unfortunately, nothing could escape the eyes of the Qin army's scouts. As soon as Cao Cao left the city, Liu Zhang knew about it.
