Chapter 1140: The Fight Outside the City of Xudu
The Qin army swept thousands of Cao troops into the red waves with just one rush.
The soldiers of the Cao army who were swept into the Qin army were like boats floating in the crimson sea, submerged in the turbulent waves one by one.
As the vanguard, Cao Jun was swept into the Qin army, and in the Cao army camp, Cao Cao stood by the Yamen, looking at the Qin soldiers who were rushing towards him in the dark night.
The Qin army was getting closer and closer, and when the Qin army at the front rushed to a place only fifty or sixty paces away from the Cao army's camp, Cao Cao raised his arm.
As his arm was raised, the Cao army's longbowmen, who had already lined up in formation and were waiting for orders, immediately stepped forward and lined up in a neat queue in front of him.
"Shoot the arrows!" As soon as the queue of longbowmen was neatly arranged, the Qin army had already advanced more than ten steps, and the officer commanding the longbowmen gave the order to release the arrows at this time.
As soon as the officer gave the order, all the archers of the Cao army set up feather arrows on their longbows and aimed at the Qin army that was charging towards them.
Ignoring the fact that there were still thousands of Cao troops being swept up in the Qin army, countless feathered arrows flew out of the archers' arrays and shot at the charging Qin army.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the charge, the heavy infantry holding shields and swords, immediately raised their shields to block the oncoming feather arrows.
And those Mo Dao soldiers who held Mo knives in both hands and couldn't raise their shields to defend at all were shot over in an instant.
Seeing that the Cao army's longbowmen shot arrows at them, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd, clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode his horse towards the array of Cao's longbowmen.
The speed of the red rabbit horse was extremely fast, and in the night, it was like a dark red lightning, stabbing at the array of Cao Jun's longbowmen.
The longbowmen of the Cao army also put feather arrows on the longbows, and Lu Bu had already ridden into them.
The red rabbit's majestic chest collided with one of the longbowmen in the lead, knocking the longbowman into a muffled snort, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person flew backwards like a short-line kite.
The momentum of his volley flying out of the air was extremely strong, and a group of Cao Jun's strong archers standing behind him couldn't dodge, and they were knocked squarely, and they immediately fell down.
Entering the Cao army array, Lu Bu gritted his teeth, clenched the halberd with both hands, stabbed left and right, and knocked the Cao army's longbowmen to the ground.
A halberd pierced the chest of a longbowman, and Lu Bu roared, and his arms slammed into the body of the longbowman to the side.
Longbowmen were not heavy infantry after all, and Lu Bu rushed into their array, and the archers were already in disarray.
When a corpse was picked up by Lu Bu with all his might, a group of Cao Jun saw the corpse fall towards them, and hurriedly scattered in all directions like frightened birds and beasts.
Due to the speed with which these Cao Jun dodged, the corpse did not hit them, but fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped moving.
Lu Bu clenched the halberd with both hands, and was killing in the middle of Cao Jun, only to hear a loud shout nearby: "Lu Buxiu is going to be arrogant, I will meet you sometime!" ”
Hearing this loud shout, Lu Bu hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where the shouting sounded came from, only to see a member of the Cao General, brandishing a long knife, rushing towards him.
That Cao Jiang was tall and rode a healthy horse, and his body actually covered half of the healthy horse.
Seeing a member of Cao General rushing towards him, Lu Bu shouted: "Good come!" "Carrying the halberd, face the Cao general and kill it!"
"Three family slaves, look at the knife!" Rushing to Lu Bu's approach, the Cao general roared and stabbed Lu Bu in the chest.
Since beating Liu Wei to save Lu Bu in Xuzhou, he has never been able to give up that he betrayed Liu Wei that day.
was scolded by General Cao in the army of ten thousand "three surnamed slaves", Lu Bu suddenly became furious and scolded back: "The general of the defeated army, I will kill you today!" ”
It was none other than Cao Ren who was fighting with Lu Bu.
Although Cao Ren is also a brave general, but in terms of martial arts, how can he be Lu Bu's opponent, the two of them are fighting together, but they are only three or five together, Cao Ren is already lacking in strength, showing defeat.
Just when Lu Bu became more and more brave and saw that he was about to knock Cao Ren off the horse, in the Cao army camp, several more generals were killed and went straight to Lu Bu.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yu Ban and others killed together, surrounding Lu Bu in the middle, but they were still in danger, and some people were almost picked up by Lu Bu several times.
A group of Cao army generals surrounded Lu Bu to fight, and the Cao army longbowmen who were scattered in the array, before they could catch their breath, the tide of Qin troops had already swept towards them.
The Qin army rushed to the front, and the longbowmen immediately turned around and ran towards the back, while the Cao army's heavy infantry, which had been waiting in the rear, shouted in unison at this time and launched a fierce charge towards the Qin army.
The shields collided and the blades intersected, and the soldiers on both sides were like two torrents, striking each other in one place, and the people in front fell in pieces, while the people behind pushed and shoved hard, pushing the people in front of them to the forefront.
In the night, under the shadow of the sword and sword, streams of blood shot up, and as more and more soldiers on both sides fell, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.
Cao's army was already waiting in formation, and Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao must have expected that he would lead his army out of the city tonight.
Although he knew in his heart that this battle could not play a role in winning by surprise, Lu Bu did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and fought with a group of Cao army generals, and the halberds in his hands kept stabbing at the several Cao generals who surrounded him.
The generals of the Cao army who surrounded Lu Bu were mostly fierce generals with extraordinary martial arts, but when they fought with Lu Bu, they gathered the strength of several people, but they couldn't take advantage of it.
"Kill!" With a burst of shouts, the halberd in Lu Bu's hand poked forward, and a member of Cao was poked by the halberd, his body was stunned, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.
Seeing that someone was stabbed by Lu Bu's halberd, several other Cao generals hurriedly stepped forward, and their blades all beckoned to Lu Bu.
With a roar, Lu Bu held the painting halberd with both hands and lifted the painting halberd that pierced Cao Jiang's body.
With the flip of his wrist, the body of the general of the Cao army, who was 100 catties, was thrown out with the rotation of the halberd, and a group of Cao generals who planned to take advantage of the situation to slash and kill Lu Bu were also blocked by the rotating halberd.
Lu Bu led the army to charge the main formation of the Cao army, and was attacked by the Cao army, and when the two armies were inseparable, the gate of Xudu opened again, and a piece of Qin army poured out of the city.
The Qin army, which had just poured out of the city, did not charge directly towards the battlefield, but divided into two torrents and outflanked both sides of Cao's army.
Cao Cao, who was standing behind the battlefield, saw two Qin armies rushing out of the city from a distance and outflanking the two wings, not only did he not panic at all, but his face showed a touch of pride.
It was Zhang Liao and Tai Shici who led the two Qin armies out of the city, and the two led the army to rush out of the city, making a quick detour all the way to the two flanks of the Cao army, intending to launch a fierce attack on the enemy army when the Cao army reacted.
Zhang Liao, who led the army around the right flank of Cao Jun, faintly felt that something was wrong after rushing out of a distance.
The number of Cao's troops was comparable to that of the Qin army in Xudu, and the few men and horses led by Lu Bu would definitely fall behind if they were counterattacked by Cao's army.
But Lu Bu not only did not have the slightest advantage at the moment, but the Qin army's attack was becoming more and more fierce, and the Cao army that was killed from the barracks could only maintain the balance of combat power.
Discovering this strange situation, Zhang Liao shouted to the Qin army behind him: "Leave 3,000 people for emergency, and the rest will be killed with this general!" ”
"No!" Zhang Liao gave an order, and one of the generals of the Qin army who followed him answered, and with three thousand people, he quickly drilled into a dark shadow near the city wall.
The three thousand men moved fast, and as soon as they burrowed into the shadows, they lay dormant.
The Qin army led by Lu Bu was inseparable from the killing of the Cao army, and now it was night again, and no one found their movements.
Three thousand men left the team, and Zhang Liao led the rest of the soldiers and horses, increased his speed, and made a detour towards the flank of Cao's army.
The more he detoured back to Cao's flank, the more strange things became.
According to common sense, his detour in leading the army is not very secretive, and Cao Jun should have discovered it early.
But Cao Jun didn't seem to notice them at all, and he still blindly met Lu Bu who was charging head-on.
"Kill!" The leader of the army circled to the flank of the Cao army, Zhang Liao waved his halberd, roared, and rushed towards the Cao army, which was fighting with the Qin army under Lu Bu.
The soldiers of the Qin Army who followed him also let out a neat shout and rushed towards Cao Jun from the side.
The Qin army led by Zhang Liao attacked the Cao army from the flank, and the Cao army, which was fighting with Lu Bu, hastily allocated a part of the troops to immediately move forward to resist.
Just as he was wondering why Cao Jun didn't organize a resistance in advance, Zhang Liao suddenly heard a loud shout from behind him: "Zhang Liao! Hugh is arrogant! Xiahoudun is here! ”
Hearing the shout, Zhang Liao, who was about to rush to the front of Cao Jun, hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a one-eyed Cao general, wielding a halberd, leading a Cao army to kill him.
Seeing Xiahoudun killing from behind, Zhang Liao's heart tightened, knowing that the Qin army went out of the city because of Cao Jun's way, and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Summons the order to leave the soldiers and horses behind, and kill from behind the Cao army!" ”
After shouting this voice, Zhang Liao clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and rode his horse to meet Xiahoudun.
His own soldiers, who had received his orders, lit a torch as he rode out, and waved it towards the darkness of the wall.
In the night, the torches wielded by the soldiers drew a series of shining tails of light, sending a signal to the rear army secretly set up by Zhang Liao to attack.
From a distance, he saw his own soldiers waving torches and leading the three thousand Qin troops to lurk in the shadows of the city wall, and he jumped up violently and shouted to the three thousand Qin troops behind him: "Kill!" ”
With the shout of the general, in the shadows at the foot of the city wall, three thousand soldiers of the Qin army were immediately killed.
The Qin army, which had been killed from the shadows, shouted all the way, and quickly pounced on the Cao army led by Xiahoudun from behind.
