Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 873: Futile

Ai Lang was accompanied by Zhuge Mengxue to an inconspicuous small valley in the mountains. At this time, a group of officers and soldiers were helping out bundles of arrows and other ordnance from round holes that resembled sweet potato holes. Ai Lang smiled and said, "How do you hide here?" Zhuge Mengxue said, "Not to prevent it from falling into Cao Jun's hands. This time Cao Jun's attack was much earlier than expected. I heard that the people at the Armory were evacuated. At the time of the order, Cao Jun had already reached the bank of the Yellow River. They had only time to move part of the armor rod ordnance into the city. Many of the newly built ordnance, including many arrows, had to hide in these sweet potato holes in desperation." Then he smiled: "But people are not as good as the sky. Who would have thought that our army would retreat to Mangshan. In this way, our army does not have to worry about arrows." Ailang laughed: "This shows that God is standing. On our side. What is this called, it's called the Mandate of Heaven! Hahaha!" Zhuge Mengxue nodded in agreement, and looked at Ai Lang's eyes with an inexplicable expression.

Ai Lang suddenly thought of something and asked: "Apart from arrows and other weapons, is there gunpowder?" Zhuge Mengxue shook his head and smiled: "How could there be gunpowder! The people at the armory yard immediately What was transported was gunpowder. If gunpowder fell into Cao Jun's hands, wouldn't it pose a huge threat to Luoyang City?" Ai Lang thought it was the same, hehe smiled.

When Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan led their troops to the vicinity of Luoyang, Ailang and the others had already retreated into Mang Mountain. Not reconciled, Sima Yi waved his army to attack Mangshan, intending to defeat them in one fell swoop while Ai Lang was not firmly established. The sound of the huge war drums shook Mang Mountain, and Cao Jun approached Mang Mountain like a tide!

Ellen received the urgent report and rushed to the edge of the hill. Looking over the cliff, I saw that Cao Jun had come to the foot of the mountain, the army was like a tide, and his momentum was like a rainbow. It seemed that he was about to launch an attack! Ailang immediately sent the troops to prepare for battle. The various Qin troops quickly mobilized, on the mountain road, on both sides of the canyon, waiting for the attack.

The sound of Cao Jun’s war drums outside the mountain was suddenly amplified several times, and then he only heard countless Cao Jun shouts like a landslide and tsunami, and then they rushed straight toward Mang Mountain! In a short while, arrows like migratory locusts flew down the Mount Mang, and a battle began!

...

The war lasted until the evening. Although the Cao Jun's offensive was fierce and unreliable, the Qin Army occupied the ground and defeated the Cao Jun wave after wave of fierce attacks. When the setting sun went down, Cao Jun finally retreated, and there were corpses all over the ground, and the wind screamed through the canyon!

Cao Jun's big account. Sima Yi pleaded guilty to Cao Pi with a look of shame: "The prime minister, his subordinates are incompetent and failed to annihilate Lu Bu as scheduled, but made him escape into the Mang Mountain!" Cao Pi walked up to Sima Yi, supported Sima Yi with both hands, and said earnestly: "Zhong Da don’t have to blame himself. Zhongda’s clever tricks, unpredictable, almost caught Lu Bu. Now this result can only be said to be dictated by God!" Sima Yi frowned, but he didn’t think so, he felt his own Although the scheme was impeccable, it was ultimately because of Zhuge Mengxue's ingenuity that led Lu Bu to escape. A mere woman, so cunning! If it wasn't for her to be beside Lu Bu, Sima Yi would be certain that Lu Bu had been captured at this moment.

Cao Pi frowned and said, "I just received a report from Cao Zhang that after crossing the Yellow River, a grain transport team in our army was raided by Huang Zhong's army. Not to mention the heavy casualties, all the grain and grass transported were destroyed. Cao Zhang Request, send a soldier and horse to support him, so as to eliminate Huang Zhong's Qin army, so as to keep the logistics supply line intact." Then I looked at Sima Yi, wanting to hear his opinion. Sima Yi thought for a while, clasped his fist and said: "Prime Minister, our army has just gone through a series of battles. The officers and soldiers are exhausted physically and mentally. I think it's better to rest for a few days before making a decision."

When Cao Pi heard Sima Yi's words, he immediately understood that he did not approve of attacking Huang Zhong, at least not agreeing to attack Huang Zhong's subordinates at this time. However, Cao Pi has his own ideas. He thinks that the battle against Luoyang will be difficult to produce in a short time. The battle continues for a long time, and this logistics supply line seems particularly important. If Huang Zhong cannot be defeated, then The logistics supply line was always threatened by Huang Zhong, which was obviously not conducive to the long-term siege. Cao Pi told Sima Yi his thoughts. Sima Yi became silent. In fact, his thought was that if he did not see the hope of breaking Luoyang in a short time, he would give up attacking Luoyang and return to Jizhou; but seeing the prime minister did not take the posture of Luoyang to give up, he felt bad. Speak out this idea. Seeing that the prime minister had already made a decision, Sima Yi felt inconvenient to speak more, clasped his fist and said: "The prime minister is wise, because his subordinates are too worried. However, if you attack Huang Zhong, you should ask General Cao Zhang to be more careful. After all, Huang Zhong is old. Mi Jian is a wise and brave general in the Qin army." Cao Pi saw that Sima Yi had no objections, and his face was joyful, and he immediately called the commander to give orders.

Soon after, 30,000 Cao Jun left the camp and rushed to the vicinity of the Yellow River ferry to support Cao Zhang. When Cao Zhang was waiting impatiently, he suddenly received the news of the arrival of reinforcements, and he was immediately overjoyed. Even if he summoned the generals, he was ready to issue an order to attack. The messenger sent by Cao Pi hurriedly said: "Tell the general, the lord also wants the villain to bring a message to the general, saying that Huang Zhong is a wise and brave general in the Qin army. It is by no means easy to match. Careless, you have to be careful!" Cao Zhang proudly said: "Huang Zhong is a wise and brave general. Isn't Cao Zhang a foolish and weak person?" To the messenger: "You go back and tell the prime minister, just say that I am Cao Zhangding. I won't let the prime minister down!" The messenger promised and hurried away. Immediately, the generals of Cao Zhang's generals, Zuo Ruguan, walked in and said, "General!"

Cao Zhang shouted: "I will order the three armies to gather and prepare to attack!"

Soon after, the gate of Cao Jun’s camp opened. Cao Zhang left only 10,000 horses to guard the Yellow River pontoon bridge. He himself led nearly 70,000 troops out of the camp and went straight to the Huangzhong camp a few miles to the east. At this time it was early in the morning, the sky and the earth were dim, and the marching footsteps of the army echoed between the sky and the earth, looking so abrupt.

It didn't take long before the army entered the Qin Barracks. Relying on the large number of people and no investigation, Cao Zhang immediately divided the army into two parts, and ordered the 20,000 paces to attack first, and the rest of the army followed up! The huge sound of killing engulfed the sound of rumbling footsteps and swept towards the Qin Army Camp! Smashing through the gate of Qin Junzhai, it rushed in like a flood that opened the gate! The brilliance of the torch illuminates the entire camp instantly, and Cao Jun spreads across the camp quickly like a flood!

Cao Zhang immediately looked at the scene of the camp from a distance, frowned, and muttered softly, "Where is the Qin soldier?" Before the words fell, a rain of fire suddenly broke through the night sky and fell into the camp. Cao Zhang was shocked when he saw this, and immediately judged that it was a rocket sent by Qin Jun, and shouted anxiously: "Call the front to withdraw!" Before the voice fell, the fire rain had already fallen into the camp. In an instant, countless fires rushed up in the camp, and the flames began to vent his lustful power like a demon suddenly jumping out of the ground! The fire spread rapidly at an unimaginable speed, and a camp became a huge furnace almost instantly! The front Cao Jun was scorched and screamed. The officers and soldiers hurriedly withdrew from the camp, all wearing smoke and fire, and looked embarrassed.

The Cao Jun officers and soldiers who stayed outside the camp saw this scene, and all of them showed horror.

咚咚咚咚......! Qin Jun's war drums suddenly rang loudly in the darkness, and at the same time the surging noise of the crowd seemed to rang out in the surrounding darkness. Cao Zhang's complexion changed and he shouted in a hurry, "Hurry up!" Cao Jun hurriedly began to end up. At this moment, a Qin army rushed into the flank of Cao Jun suddenly out of the darkness. Cao Jun was caught off guard and was killed in chaos. Seeing the critical situation, Cao Zhang couldn't think about it. He hurriedly led the officers and soldiers around him to counterattack, roaring loudly, and suddenly resisted the sudden Qin army. The two sides lay down their lives in the darkness, killing inextricably, countless cold lights flying in the air. The Cao army gradually stabilized its position, and then counterattacked and dispersed under the leadership of their respective generals. The situation of the Qin army suddenly seemed a bit bad.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but secretly admired Cao Jun who could stabilize his position and launch a counterattack under the sudden ambush. Knowing that the opportunity to defeat the enemy has been lost, he immediately led the army out of the battle and disappeared into the darkness.

Cao Jun's various ministries are just getting up, and they subconsciously want to pursue them. However, Cao Zhang was worried that the sky was dim, and it would be impossible to guarantee that he would encounter an ambush by his opponent when he pursued. He hurriedly ordered the army to stop the pursuit. Immediately gathered the ministries and slowly returned to the camp.

Just after returning to the camp, a shallow white fish appeared on the eastern horizon. Immediately the sky light spread rapidly, driving away the darkness. At this moment, the Qin army camp a few miles away was burning. A scout rushed into the camp and came to Cao Zhang, anxiously reported: "Open to the general, the Qin army led by Huang Zhong has retreated to Boshuiguan." Cao Zhang frowned, feeling a little depressed, as if It was because he didn't hit anyone with a full punch, but instead hit the wall, making himself jump with pain. After clearing up his mood, after a little thought, he immediately ordered the army to pull out the camp and approach the Baoshuiguan Xiazhai. Cao Zhang felt that even if Huang Zhong could not be eliminated, Huang Zhong should be kept as far away as possible to ensure the safety of the Yellow River floating bridge and logistics supply line.

After a series of battles, Cao Jun and Qin Jun felt very exhausted, and stopped military operations as if they had a tacit understanding. Cao Jun rushed to make various siege equipment to prepare for the next war while taking a rest. Qin Jun was also seizing the time to prepare for the war, transporting various weapons to the front line, redeploying various materials, and preparing for the next battle. Cao Jun’s preparations for attack.
