Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 21: Rescue Cao Cao and chase Dong Zhuo

Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat. The Liangzhou army was elite and his own side was chasing him all the way. It was dangerous, so he hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead troops to meet the enemy.

There was a loud killing sound on the battlefield. Cao Cao had trained his troops well and his soldiers were not weak. In addition, the generals of Cao's army were brave. The fight was inextricable for a while.

Suddenly, the sound of drums sounded on the right, and the sound of killing broke out. Guo Si led his troops to attack, and he was unstoppable. Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to lead his troops to meet the enemy.

Cao Jun and three other soldiers and horses fought together, unable to resist, and retreated steadily. Hua Xiong personally led a thousand cavalry into Cao Jun, with overwhelming force, directly breaking up Cao Jun's formation, and then rode his horse directly to Cao Cao, who was in the middle army.

"Lord, leave quickly!" Cao Ren hurriedly led his men to fight forward.

On the battlefield, Cao Cao's army was at an absolute disadvantage, and defeat was inevitable. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to pay gold, collect the remaining troops and leave after the defeat.

Hua Xiong led his men to cover up the battlefield and cleared the battlefield, but did not pursue Cao Cao.

Looking at the defeated soldiers behind him, Cao Cao felt sad. There were only 3,000 soldiers and horses out of ten thousand. He thought back to the time when he had great ambitions and went out to serve as a diligent king. He thought he could defeat the Dong thieves and revive the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, but he did not expect to end up like this.

Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted and the enemy did not catch up, Cao Cao ordered his troops to camp on the spot and bury pots to make rice.

Fighting consumes a lot of physical strength, and every soldier is hungry. Some soldiers lie down directly, panting heavily, regardless of the cold ground, and run for life or death. This is not only a great test for physical strength, but also a great test for the soldiers' psychological quality.

The smell of rice filled their nostrils, and many soldiers licked their lips, their eyes full of desire.

Suddenly, the sound of drums shook the sky, and shouts of killing came from all around. Xu Rong led the ambush troops out.

At this time, Cao's soldiers were tired of horses and hungry, so they had no strength to fight. Many soldiers even laid down their weapons, and they did not even have the strength to escape.

Cao Cao commanded his troops to resist, and while fighting, Xu Rong caught sight of him and shot an arrow with his bow, hitting Cao Cao in the shoulder. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold him back.

Three thousand soldiers and horses were defeated at the first touch. Xu Rong showed a smile and ordered the cavalry to chase Cao Cao.

This night left a deep impression on Cao Cao and made him realize the importance of counselors.

The cavalry chasing after them from the rear were Cao Jun's life seekers.

"Quickly dismount and accept surrender." Xu Rong shouted.

This loud shout shocked the officers and soldiers of Cao's army. Many soldiers ran away secretly. Can the two-legged infantry outrun the cavalry? If this continues, there is only a way to death. It is better to stay here. Maybe there is a way to survive.

"My life is at an end!" Cao Cao sighed looking up to the sky.

"Kill!" Lu Bu Fangtian waved his halberd, and two thousand cavalry followed closely, killing Xu Rong.

The Bingzhou Army has been following Cao Cao, and with the continuous dispatch of scouts, he has carefully watched the movements of Dong Zhuo's army, but he did not remind Cao Cao that only if Cao Cao's troops are defeated will he not compete with him for Dong Zhuo.

supplies, come out for rescue at the right time, and just be a good person.

The momentum of the charge of two thousand cavalry shocked Cao Cao, who was in the center of the battlefield, thinking that his life would be decided here today.

"Lord, it's the Bingzhou Army. We are saved." Cao Ang, whose face was covered in blood, pointed to the flag in the distance in surprise.

"It's the Bingzhou Army." Cao Ren murmured. He had suffered a lot of injuries in the battle so far.

"Kill!" Cao Cao drew his sword and shouted as reinforcements arrived.

The Bingzhou cavalry quickly ran into the rapidly charging Liangzhou cavalry. The cavalry on both sides began to fight on this land based on their own abilities.

Facing the Bingzhou cavalry who were equipped with stirrups, the Liangzhou cavalry had unspeakable hardships. They found that the opponent's riding skills were obviously a level higher than their own, so how could they fight?

Seeing a group of "bobo" soldiers being dispersed by the cavalry, Xu Rong was speechless. He originally thought that killing a prince would be a great achievement, but in the blink of an eye, the Bingzhou cavalry was killed.

"Retreat." Xu Rong gave the order, and the soldiers who had long thought of retreat began to retreat all over the mountains and plains. There was no formation.

The Bingzhou army pursued them for a while, until there were no more enemies in sight, they gathered up their formation and obtained more than a hundred war horses.

"Thank you, General Lu." Cao Cao, who was supported by Cao Ang, said with a pale face. Xu Rong's arrow penetrated deeply into the flesh.

"Brother Meng De, you're welcome. Dong's thieves have no moral principles and everyone will punish him. It's just that Meng De's injury needs medical treatment." Lu Bu said, cupping his fists.

"I care about you first, and you will be rewarded for saving your life!" After this defeat, Cao Cao also lost the confidence to pursue, and was naturally full of anger towards Yuan Shao and other princes.

"Meng De, farewell." Lu Bu saw that Cao Xing Gao Shun had integrated the troops and left.

"Fengxian is a righteous man!" Cao Cao did not doubt that he was there, and thought that Lu Bu was concerned about him before leading his troops. After all, there was an example of Sun Jian there before.

"Lord, why don't you just return to the army?" Cao Ren advised.

"Back in Luoyang, Yuan Benchu ​​and others don't know the general situation, they only know how to sing praises of virtue." Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"Alliance leader, General Cao is back."

"Please come quickly." Yuan Shao said hurriedly.

The next day, Yuan Shao invited the princes to a banquet to relieve the boredom of the defeated Cao Cao. They drank and drank together. Cao Cao seemed to have thought of his sad things again and sighed: "I follow the leader of the alliance to promote great righteousness and eliminate thieves for the country. You are also here with righteousness. At the beginning, I said

, send troops to defend Mengjin, Suanzao, Chenggao, Aocang and other important places, all with deep ditches and high fortifications, and do not fight with Dong's thieves, so that Dong's thieves can see the general trend of the world, and then march to Luoyang to punish the rebels, and the world can be settled.

, but you have hesitated to advance, and have lost the hope of the world, and I feel deeply ashamed."

Yuan Shao and others were speechless. Everyone had some dirty thoughts. To some princes, raising the banner of righteousness was more like gaining fame and earning credit by the way. Why not do it.

A banquet broke up unhappy. Seeing that the princes could not succeed, Cao Cao led his troops back and Gongsun Zan left one after another.

In fact, when Cao Cao returned to Luoyang, he still hoped that the princes would send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, but he did not expect that the princes would be indifferent.

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was short of food and grass in the army, so he borrowed grain from Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun. Borrowing grain was a common thing among princes, and both of them were governors of Yanzhou. Even now, the entire allied army has no food and grass.

If there are more, the number distributed daily is limited.

Qiao Mao refused on the grounds that the army was short of food and grass. Liu Dai was angry and led his troops into Qiao Mao's camp, killed Qiao Mao and gathered his troops.

The other princes were frightened and on guard against each other.

Let us say that Sun Jian put out the fire in Luoyang City, stationed troops in the city, and ordered his army sergeants to sweep away the rubble of the palace.

They sent soldiers to cover all the tombs dug by Dong Zhuo. Looking at the desolate Luoyang, they couldn't help but sigh: "What was the scene like when the Japanese generals arrived in Luoyang in the past? I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of

rubble."

"My lord, at this time, everyone in the princes is in danger. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, killed Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun. Cao Cao led his army to pursue Dong Zhuo, but was defeated." Cheng Pu said in a low voice.
