At this time, Chen Xu was actually in a dilemma.

Before Chen Xu led the troops to come, he thought that Zhou Yu would not fight, and he thought that the other party would agree to fight the generals, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would not say a word and directly order the whole army to attack.

If you fight with the coalition forces now, even if you can kill and wound the enemy and achieve some results, you will also suffer a lot of casualties.

Today's Guanzhong Army is already at a disadvantage, and it can't afford to lose it at all.

However, leading the troops to retreat now will not only not boost morale, but will make the soldiers panic and uneasy, and their morale will drop greatly.

"For now, we can only fight."

Since there is no way to retreat, they can only fight with all their might, and this coalition army is obviously composed of a mixture of Eastern Wu and Jingzhou soldiers.

Although Chen Xu agreed with Zhou Yu's talent, he did not believe that the soldiers on both sides could truly integrate with the enemy.

As long as Zhou Yu can be caught, even if he loses some soldiers and horses, Chen Xu will not hesitate.

Even though the strength of the two sides is equal, Chen Xu has several fierce generals accompanying him, and the equipment of these 30,000 troops is obviously stronger than that of the coalition army.

Chen Xu was confident that he would be able to defeat the 30,000 troops.

Chen Xu raised the spear in his hand and shouted sharply: "The whole army charges, capture Zhou Yu alive!" ”

"Uncle, Zilong, brother, Ling Ming, capture the thief and capture the king, charge with me!"

This battle with the princes is destined not to be too easy, and Chen Xu has long been prepared to go into battle in person.

This time, in order to defeat the 30,000 coalition troops as soon as possible, in order to minimize his own casualties, Chen Xu did not hesitate to personally go into battle to boost morale.

Zhou Yu rode on his war horse, looked at the Guan Zhongjun who was charging over, and also felt a trace of pressure.

It's just that Zhou Yu's eyes are more excited.

"Wen Xiang, you command the Eastern Wu soldiers to avoid the enemy's fierce generals, and entangle and fight with the Guanzhong army from the left flank."

"Han Sheng, you command the Jingzhou soldiers to avoid the enemy's fierce generals, and entangle and fight with the Guanzhong army from the right flank."

This army of 30,000 people is indeed composed of soldiers from Eastern Wu and Jingzhou, and the cooperation between the two sides will not be too tacit at all.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhou Yu was ready to let his respective generals lead his subordinates to fight separately and act as horns for each other.

In this way, they will not interfere with each other, and they will be able to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

The war broke out suddenly, and the soldiers on both sides fought together.

Chen Xu, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Pang De and others are all extremely rare fierce generals, and no one can stop them wherever they pass.

However, the coalition soldiers, under the command of Xu Sheng and Huang Zhong, did not clash head-on with these fierce generals, but only tried to entangle the sergeants and pawns.

Although several fierce generals are in the direction of the horizontal, they also feel a little aggrieved.

Chen Xu brandished his spear, locked his eyes on Zhou Yu, looked at the handsome and silly Zhou Yu, calmly issued military orders, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Kill the Chinese army and capture Zhou Yu alive!"

After Chen Xu gave the order, he himself took Dian Wei and took the lead in the direction of Zhou Yu.

The non-commissioned officers of the coalition army were unheard, as long as they encountered a few fierce generals, they could dodge, and Chen Xu and the others quickly rushed to the front.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu still did not have a trace of panic on his face.

I saw Zhou Yu waving the battle flag in his hand, and the chariots that were placed behind him drove to the front one after another, protecting Zhou Yu closely.

"What is this?"

Lu Bu, who was charging, couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw the black chariots.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch!"

A tooth-sour sound sounded, and thick crossbow arrows were installed on the chariot by the coalition soldiers, and then quickly shot at Chen Xu and the others.

"Ballista, ballista, this is a ballista, dodge!"

It was only at this time that the memory of being sealed by Chen Xuchen for a long time slowly came to mind, and these war weapons that originally existed in the game really appeared in this era.

When Lu Bu and the others saw the thick crossbow arrows coming, they were also shocked and dodged one after another.

"Poof, poof, poof!"

Several fierce generals had superb martial arts and flexible bodies, and they dodged dangerously and dangerously.

Of course, this is also because the opponent's chariot is not much, if ten thousand arrows are fired at once, even if it is as powerful as Zhao Yun, it is impossible to completely dodge.

Rao is like this, and those sergeants and soldiers who followed behind everyone also suffered heavy casualties under the volley of ballistas.

Even the incomparably elite black-armored guards were killed and wounded more than 20 people.

"Bow and arrow, wind up!"

Zhou Yu always had a smile on his face, and with a soft shout, the Dongwu archers, who were waiting for the battle, immediately pulled out the bowstring.

"Retreat, retreat into the formation!"

Looking at Zhou Yu's series of reactions, Chen Xu knew that the other party had already prepared, and it was impossible to succeed in capturing the thief and capturing the king.

In order to avoid the ballistas and bows and arrows, everyone had to hide among the soldiers who were fighting.

At the very least, there are also coalition soldiers among them, and it is impossible for Zhou Yu to give an order to attack indiscriminately without distinguishing between the enemy and me.

"Damn, it seems that I still underestimate Zhou Yu."

Chen Xu was full of anger, and after retreating to the formation, he chased and killed the allied soldiers everywhere, but he secretly regretted it in his heart.

If he can be more cautious and bring the trap camp over, the trap camp equipped with a repeater will definitely be able to break the ballista formation.

It's just that if it really brings the trapping camp, it will be impossible for Zhou Yu to go out of the village to face the battle.

"Kill!"

The two sides fought together, and the Guanzhong army obviously had the upper hand, but under Zhou Yu's calm and calm command, the coalition army was not defeated at all.

Seeing that the battle had been fought for two hours, the coalition soldiers had suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the Guanzhong army had also suffered 3,000 casualties.

Chen Xu knew that he couldn't continue to fight, otherwise he would spend so much troops, and if he couldn't wait for reinforcements from Yizhou and Bingzhou, Luoyang might be lost.

"Mingjin retreats!"

"Woooooooooooo

Mingjin whimpered, and Sergeant Guan, under the leadership of several fierce generals, retreated calmly and orderly.

Huang Zhong saw the retreat of the Guanzhong army, and immediately admonished Zhou Yu: "Dudu, the thief army is defeated and retreating, why don't we take advantage of the situation to chase and kill?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Army is still there, and rash pursuit will definitely fail." ”

"Pass my military order, Mingjin collects the troops, and returns to the village to recuperate!"

Watching the soldiers slowly enter the camp, Zhou Yu stared at the ballista beside him, and couldn't help but smile in his eyes.

"These things made by Kong Ming are really very useful."

However, it was said that Chen Xu led his troops back to the city, although he tried his best to exaggerate the results of the battle, claiming that this time he fought with the coalition army, and his side killed 10,000 enemies.

However, in the hearts of Zhao Yun and others, a shadow was cast.

After Chen Xu finished washing and changing his clothes, he did not convene a military meeting, but stayed alone in the house.

He stared at the window without focus, and after a long time, he sighed faintly: "When I met opponents before, the talents under my command had an absolute advantage, and I was able to completely crush them. ”

"But now, all kinds of top talents in the princes' territory have gathered, and they can no longer use their previous thinking."

After reflecting for a while, Chen Xu breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the door.

At this time, the entire Chenggao has been completely under martial law, and Xu Xian, as the main general of the Tiger Prison, is also closed to the city gate and is ready for battle.

For two consecutive days, Zhou Yu did not come to call for battle, but kept expanding the scale of the camp to prepare for the arrival of the army.

In two days, the coalition soldiers arrived in Chenggao, Zhuge Liang and the four princes, and finally led the army over.

The camp of more than 500,000 troops, stretching for nearly 100 miles, from Aocang to Chenggao, is the camp of the coalition army, and the flags fluttering every day are enough to cover the sky and the sun.

In the camp tent of the Chinese army, Zhuge Liang and the four princes sat on high positions, and the rest of the civil and military stood side by side, even if the camp tent was very grand, it was almost overcrowded.

Sun Quan was the first to speak: "Gong Jin and Chen Wenzhao have already fought once, how do you feel?" ”

The princes had already agreed that if Chen Xu could be eliminated, they would use their merits in this war to distribute the population and land in Guanzhong.

Therefore, after Sun Quan learned that Zhou Yu and Chen Xu fought and finally forced the Guanzhong army to retreat first, he couldn't help but bring up the matter.

Zhou Yu's face was a little solemn, and he said: "Although Chen Wenzhao was repelled last time, the strength of the Guanzhong army should not be underestimated, and in the case of the same soldiers, the number of casualties of our army is much more than that of the Guanzhong army. ”

"Whether it is the elite level of the soldiers, or the sophistication of armor and weapons, the Guanzhong army is stronger than the coalition army."

When everyone heard this, their faces were solemn, but they didn't show too much surprise.

After all, they have all fought with the Guanzhong Army, and they have some understanding of the reality of the Guanzhong Army, and the performance of the Guanzhong Army did not surprise them.

Fu Zhu smiled and said: "It's okay, I have a lot of thieves, even if the soldiers and armor are slightly inferior, it's okay." ”

"Gong Jin's strategy of confronting the thief head-on is very good, we are strong, there is no need to play any conspiracy at all, we just need to fight with an upright army."

Cao Cao nodded secretly when he heard this, now the alliance of princes is to suppress people with power, and only in this way can the advantages of the alliance be revealed.

Guo Jia smiled slightly at this time and said, "Having said that, sometimes you should use some strategies. ”

When everyone heard this, they all set their eyes on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia is the chief strategist under Cao Cao, and the people here are all talented, the more this is the case, the more they dare not despise Guo Jia.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and asked, "Does Fengxiao have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Guo Jia said: "It is not a good strategy to break the enemy, if it is implemented properly, it will also greatly reduce the morale of the Guanzhong army." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Feng Xiao has a plan to come quickly." ”

Guo Jia glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "Since Gong Jin has already speculated, the reason why Chen Wenzhao is in a hurry to leave the city is because the morale of the soldiers in the city is unstable. ”

"In that case, why not use this as a breakthrough point and cut off Chen Wenzhao's arm first?"

Zhou Yu was surprised in his heart and asked: "Although I guess that the army in the city may be unstable, I don't know how to cut off Chen Wenzhao's arm. ”

Guo Jia smiled weirdly and said, "Since Chen Wenzhao wants to win the first battle to boost his morale, he will definitely make some moves." ”

"According to the current situation, Guanzhong has no other way than to have an advantage in the fierce generals and it is possible to win above the battle generals."

Everyone here is very smart, sometimes just a leaf blind to Mount Tai, since Guo Jia has made a start, many people are thoughtful.

Of course, at this time, no one competed with Guo Jia, and they all listened carefully.

Guo Jia was full of energy and said: "If what I expected is not bad, Chen Wenzhao will definitely not keep retreating into the city in order to boost morale, but will take the initiative to invite the battle." ”

"With the courage of the generals in Guanzhong, when the battle is coming, there is definitely hope for victory."

"Chen Wenzhao, Lu Fengxian, Dian Guofu, Zhao Zilong, Pang Lingming, and all are ten thousand enemies, especially Wenhou Lu Bu, who has always occupied the position of the world's number one military general."

"If you can behead Lu Bu this time, not only will you cut off Chen Wenzhao's arm, but it will also make the Guanzhong army frightened, and it will be much easier for the coalition army to break through the city again."

What Guo Jia said is indeed true, Lu Bu's reputation for courage has spread all over the world, even if Zhao Yun is now able to challenge Lu Bu, he has not done so.

The current Lu Bu has become a spiritual symbol for the top and bottom of Guanzhong.

If Lu Bu was really killed in front of the battle, the blow to the morale of the Guanzhong army would definitely be extremely powerful and devastating.

Liu Bei interjected: "Lu Bu is extremely brave, and it may not be easy to kill him." ”

Liu Bei had followed Chen Xu for a period of time, at that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had not yet reached their peak, and it was Lu Bu's most brilliant time.

For Lu Bu's fierceness, Liu Bei was afraid.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Although Lu Bu is brave, he is already old, even if he fights alone, it is expected that Yun Chang and Zhong Kang will not fall behind at this time." ”

"However, if you want to kill him in battle, you can't do it alone."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but set his eyes on Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhang He and others.

"When Chen Wenzhao calls for battle, the generals can respond to the battle one after another, and then abandon the opponent at the right time and kill Lu Bu together."

"Even if Lu Bu has the ability to reach the sky, it must be difficult to escape!"

Guan Yu is arrogant and arrogant, and he has already heard the meaning of Guo Jia's words.

He immediately said unhappily: "Sir, if you want to kill Lu Bu in battle, I am enough alone, and there is no need to join forces with others." ”

Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhang He and others also looked unhappy.

The top generals all have their own pride, if it is said that it is a fight on the battlefield, there is nothing to besiege and kill Lu Bu.

But now, Guo Jia asked several people to join forces to kill Lu Bu in the process of fighting, and he still had to launch a sneak attack suddenly.

This is definitely a great insult to the top generals.

Therefore, none of them had good faces, and the eyes they looked at Guo Jia were not very friendly.

Guo Jia ignored everyone's gaze, just looked at the four princes with a smile, Guo Jia believed that these people would naturally be able to settle the rest of the matter.

Cao Cao and the others glanced at each other, all nodded secretly, and then pulled the generals under their command and began to persuade each other with good words.

Although the generals were helpless, they also knew that if they could kill Lu Bu, the blow to the morale of the Guanzhong army would definitely be very huge.

In addition, his own father-in-law persuaded him hard, and even the coach Zhuge Liang gave an order.

In desperation, they could only accept it.
