Chapter 114: The First Battle

Cao Cao's envy and pity didn't have much effect, and his tiger and leopard cavalry wanted to restore the establishment, which was absolutely impossible under the current situation.

Liu Yu would not give Cao Cao such a chance.

This scolding war finally ended with Lu Bu's concession. Lu Bu was haunted by this in the future.

After retreating some distance, Lu Bu was angry, and when he passed by a willow tree as thick as a thigh, he took the willow tree as Cao Cao, and shouted, Fang Tian's halberd cut it directly. Such a thick willow tree was cut down by Lu Bu at once.

The surrounding wolves didn't dare to come out, they knew that Lu Bu was very angry.

After venting, Lu Bu's mood was much better, and he said to everyone: "No one is allowed to say half a word about today's matter!" Otherwise, this willow tree is his fate! ”

The wolf riders looked at the severed willow tree, took a breath, and secretly warned themselves not to talk too much.

No one responded, but Lu Bu was relieved. The wolf riders in Bingzhou usually don't talk much, as long as Lu Bu says it, they will remember it in their hearts.

Lu Bu hatefully got off the red rabbit horse, and then found a smooth stone and sat there sulking.

"Cao Cao, you kid will wait for Ben General, Ben will definitely cut off your dog's head!" Lu Bu could only curse Cao Cao in his mouth for the time being.

Judging from the current situation, Huang Zhong's army will arrive soon. Lu Bu is now waiting for Huang Zhong's army to arrive, anyway, Cao Cao is in Ruyin City, and it is almost so long.

Cao Cao of Ruyin also knew that Huang Zhong's army was coming, and he now sent people out from the other side to inquire about Le Jin and Li Dian.

All the civil and military forces in the city were concentrated in front of Cao Cao, waiting for Cao Cao's orders.

After a while, Cao Cao asked Xu Huang, "Are all the materials for defending the city ready?" ”

"Back to the lord, the oil, stones, wood, and feather arrows are all prepared!" Xu Huang was fully prepared to defend the city.

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You guys perform their duties, fight with the thieves who are alone in Ruyin City and Huang Zhong!" This time I'm going to break them all. ”

"Yes! Lord! Everyone said yes.

With Cao Cao here, everyone will have confidence. Cao Cao was a god-like existence in Cao's army, and the powerful Shenwu Emperor was beaten by Cao Cao several times and fled. Cao Cao was in charge of Ruyin, and the Cao army had full confidence in winning this battle, and their morale was high.

As the original Ruyin guard, Xu Huang was happy in his heart when he saw such a situation, with such morale, why not worry about not being able to win the battle.

Huang Zhong's army finally joined up with Lu Bu.

As soon as Huang Zhong saw Lu Bu, he asked, "Feng Xian, have you had any contact with Cao Jun?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law has challenged Ruyin City, but Cao Cao is a gutless bandit and doesn't dare to go out of the city at all. Ruyin City is high, and the son-in-law is full of cavalry, and the son-in-law has no choice but to wait for his father-in-law's army here. Lu Bu didn't say anything about the scolding war between himself and Cao Cao and he lost.

But everyone heard a message, Cao Cao was in Ruyin City.

"Cao Mengde is really in Ruyin City." Huang Zhong was vaguely excited.

Huang Zhong understands the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. If Ruyin City is broken and Cao Cao is captured or killed, then the matter of Yuzhou can come to an end.

"General, the old man suggests that we go and observe the reality of Ruyin City now." Jia Xu suggested.

"Yes!" Huang Zhong is the coach, and Cao Cao is in Ruyin City, so he naturally wants to show his face.

Huang Zhong came to Ruyin City with all the civil and military forces, and in order to confuse Cao Cao, Jia Xu deliberately played out the banners of Zhao Yun and Pang Tong.

Cao Cao had been waiting at the city wall for a long time.

As soon as they saw the banner, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and the others were a little shocked. Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Pang Tong. With such a strong man put together, only Liu Yu has such a big confidence, not to mention that there are several generals on Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang's side, and Cao Cao is envious to death. Any general can give it to him, and he Cao Cao will not fall to such a point.

"What a big formation!" Guo Jia blurted out.

Being able to make a wise man like Guo Jia can't help but say it, it can be seen how shocking his true face is.

Xu Chu, a martial artist, didn't say a word, but his clenched fists could see the excitement in his heart.

Yes, excited.

Xu Chu is a powerful general, but in Cao Cao's army, there are almost no generals who can fight him alone. It was rare to meet so many powerful opponents, and he was naturally excited.

"It's a pity that there is no such thing as the legendary Dian Wei." Xu Chu said a little regretfully.

Xu Huang was really speechless, and secretly scolded Xu Chu.

Huang Zhong stepped forward and said loudly to Ruyin City: "Cao Mengde, please come out and see!" ”

Cao Cao knew Huang Zhong, and over the years, Huang Zhong had hardly changed except that his beard was white.

"It turned out to be Hansheng, don't come unharmed, right?" Cao Cao and Huang Zhong knew each other, and the two were a little clear.

Huang Zhong looked at Cao Cao from a distance and found that Cao Cao's temples were a little gray, so he sighed: "Cao Mengde, I haven't seen you for many years, and your temples have also turned white." ”

"Haha, Huang Hansheng, you are moving the people to come, won't it be just to talk to Lone." Cao Cao said jokingly.

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "This general is under the will of His Majesty to conquer Meng De. Meng Deke is ready. ”

"General. Hansheng, you have become a general. Lone is ready, if you have the guts, you can come. Cao Cao said with emotion.

Huang Zhong retreated, and Cao Cao also instructed his soldiers to prepare that Liu's army would attack the city at any time.

Huang Zhong ordered: "Start attacking!" ”

Liu's soldiers moved quickly, the cavalry sat in the rear, and the infantry and archers stepped forward, but strangely, Liu's army did not have siege equipment such as ramming wood and ladders.

This kind of unusualness made Cao Cao feel bad. Liu Jun did not use such conventional siege weapons, so it means that they have more powerful siege weapons.

Sure enough, a number of trebuchets slowly drove out from behind Liu Jun. These trebuchets were secretly made by Jia Xu's orders, and the various parts of the trebuchets were made first, and then when they arrived in Ruyin City, they were assembled and came in handy.

Cao Cao and the others didn't know when Liu Jun would finish the trebuchet. Jia Xu, this old fox, is very calculating.

"Trebuchet!" Li Tong, who got Ruyin back, knew this thing and knew how powerful it was.

"Panic what! The walls of Ruyin are so high that there are ghosts if a trebuchet can throw stones into it. As the top boss, Xu Huang scolded Li Tong.

Cao Cao was naturally calm, not only Ruyin City, but even the various cities in the rear were reinforced and heightened, and there was no way for trebuchets to throw stones into the city.

Ma Chao came to the trebuchet formation and shouted: "Give Ben the general to aim at Ruyin City!" Put it hard! ”

More than a dozen trebuchets quickly hurled stones at them. The stone cut a beautiful arc in the air, and then smashed into the walls of Ruyin City, a foot away from the guarding Cao army. The stones thrown by Liu Jun did not hurt a single Cao Jun at all, and they all smashed on the city wall without exception.

The walls of Ruyin City had long been reinforced, and such an impact would have no effect at all. Unless Liu Jun can move stones every day and night, he may be able to smash the Ruyin City Wall. But Cao Cao's plan just succeeded.

Cao Jun looked at Liu Jun who was constantly busy with amusement, to see how long their trebuchet could work.

The trebuchet is made of wood, and after firing for a while, it must be stopped, otherwise it will be destroyed.

After a while, the trebuchet's attack stopped, and many stones accumulated under the city and scattered them all over the place, without causing much damage to the city.

Ma Chao thought that the trebuchet would succeed, but unfortunately it was in vain.

"Haha, Huang Hansheng, this is your attack? Isn't that ridiculous? Cao Cao said sarcastically.

"Feather Arrow Attack!" Gao Ran led a large group of archers to shoot on his back.

The role of archers is much stronger than that of trebuchets, and at least many feathered arrows are fired into the city walls, causing some casualties to the defending Cao army.

But that's not enough.

Cao Cao had been watching Liu Jun's movements, but he sensed something was wrong.

Liu's army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there are definitely enough troops to surround all Ruyin City. But Liu Jun didn't do this at all, and he didn't carry out the siege of three in a row, but only attacked from one side. A one-sided attack can concentrate superior forces, which Cao Cao would feel normal. But Liu Jun's loose attack strength is not normal at all.

"Fengxiao, Huang Zhong is very abnormal. You don't see any clues. Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

Of course, Guo Jia saw that something was abnormal, but in addition to knowing that Huang Zhong had a conspiracy, Guo Jia couldn't figure out why Huang Zhong did this.

"Gongming, you go to the South Gate to guard! The other doors must be careful, and Huang Zhong must not be allowed to take advantage. Cao Cao noticed the abnormality and immediately asked Xu Huang to go to the south gate.

Huang Zhong originally wanted to attract Cao Cao's attention here, and then asked Lu Bu, who was guarding the rear, to quietly detour with his troops and catch Cao Cao off guard. It's a pity that now it was discovered by Cao Cao.

"Forget it, that's all for today. Mingjin retreats! Huang Zhong gave the order to stop the attack.

The screeching sound of metal crashing sounded, and all of Liu Jun's attacks died down.

Cao Cao secretly screamed that it was dangerous, it seems that Huang Zhong is not honest.

Liu's army retreated, and they began to cut down trees to build camps, as if preparing for a protracted battle with Cao Cao.

Ma Chao came to Jia Xu's side very unhappily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Wenhe, is the strength of this trebuchet a little worse, and it can't be thrown on the Ruyin City Wall." ”

Jia Xu ignored Ma Chao's complaints and left with a smile.

Ma Chao could only look at it, and he couldn't disobey Huang Zhong's order and attack Ruyin City by himself.

Jia Xu looked at the sky, saw some clues, and said with a smile: "It's going to rain." ”

Time passed quickly, and in a short time, it was already dusk.

Liu Jun's camp tents were all set up, and at this moment, Liu Jun's soldiers were burying pots and cooking rice, and lines of cooking smoke rose from the camp tents. This dinner was very hearty for Liu Jun, because Ma Chao and Lu Bu took a large number of people and horses to destroy all the beasts in the vicinity. These beasts became Liu Jun's dinner tonight.

The smell of barbecue wafted to Ruyin City with the wind.

The soldiers of the Cao Army in Ruyin City were drooling one by one. Compared with Liu Jun's sumptuous dinner, their dinner was a bit rough, and each person was a hard flatbread to satisfy their hunger.

But the soldiers of the Cao army did not dare to complain, because Cao Cao, as the lord, ate the same things as them.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Jun's tent in the distance, so many soldiers and horses gathered there, and the expectation in his heart became even stronger.

"As long as the plan can be successful, I want to see if you can still eat so comfortably." Cao Cao took the flatbread for Liu Jun and took a hard bite.

But then he regretted it, this big cake was too hard, Cao Cao was getting older, and his teeth couldn't stand it.

At this time, a large dark cloud drifted into the sky in the distance.

Guo Jia said in surprise: "Lord, it's going to rain, it's still raining!" ”

"God help me!" Cao Cao was very happy.

As long as it rains, then the amount of water will increase, and as long as Li Dian blocks the upstream, then the amount of water will become huge, and when the time comes, Liu Jun's more than 100,000 generals will become fish in the river.

In Liu Jun's tent, Huang Zhong and Jia Xu sat together, and they also noticed the movement of the dark clouds.

"Mr. Wenhe, it's going to rain." Huang Zhong said lightly.

"General, isn't this rain just right for you and me?" Jia Xu said with a smile.

Huang Zhong smiled without saying a word, took out a knife, cut a large piece of meat on a roasted deer in front of him, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"This meat is well roasted, and Feng Xian's skills have improved a lot. Wenhe, you try. Huang Zhong signaled to Jia Xu not to be polite.

This deer was roasted by Lu Bu himself, specially used to honor Huang Zhong, and of course it was delicious.

Lu Bu has become the strongest barbecue expert among Liu Jun.

Jia Xu unceremoniously took out a knife, cut off a piece of meat, and ate it beautifully.

"The general has a son-in-law like General Lu, which really makes the old man envious." Jia Xu sighed very emotionally, it would be good if he had a daughter, in this case, there would be a son-in-law to honor him.

Jia Xu didn't want to think that he had been adrift for so many years, it was already very good to have a son to inherit the lineage, and he still wanted to have a daughter. I don't know how many people want a son. For example, Liu Bei, who is far away in Yizhou, is such a living example.

"Cao Cao is the deer in front of us now! In the end, we can only eat it! "Huang Zhong is in good spirits.

Jia Xu ate the barbecue silently, it wasn't that he ignored Huang Zhong, it was so delicious that he couldn't stop talking.

Huang Zhong also found out that something was wrong, Jia Xu, this old guy, had already eaten half of this fawn, who would have thought that Jia Xu would eat so much so quickly.

"You're welcome!" Huang Zhong was a little depressed.
