~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ma Han boarded the ship from Fuyang under the escort of Gan Ning and secretly headed to Xia Pi, the target of this trip, Lu Bu, was fighting fiercely with Cao and Liu's coalition forces.

After several small and medium-sized tentative attacks, Lu Bu decided to play a big game.

In early May, Lu Bu stayed in Chengong, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, and Cao Bao guarded the city, and personally led Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Cao Xing to fight against the Cao army. This was the largest scale and the last counterattack that Lu Bu carried out since Xia Pi was besieged.

Cao Cao and Lu Bu are old rivals. They know deeply about this person's ability. They still fight with beasts, let alone tigers? To achieve the purpose of the novel "No Wrong" by "Lu Bu" "No Wrong" by Cao Cao also sacrificed his capital, took out all the capital he could use, and fought against Lu Bu with an army of 15,000.

The two armies confronted each other twenty miles southwest of Xia Pi City.

Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, and Cao Xing led 2,000 infantry and cavalry to the center, Gao Shun led the camp and a group of auxiliary troops to the left wing, Hou Cheng and Song Xian each led a battalion, which was the right wing, and formed a large formation in the shape of a character that was suitable for attack and defense.

Cao Cao led three thousand infantry and cavalry to the central army. Cheng Yu and Xun Yu two major plot leaders stood on the left and right. The captain Dian Wei inserted two halberds on his back and held a long sword in his hand. He was like a gate god. Cao Hong and Xu Chu were the generals of the central army and were on standby at any time to attack. The two infantry and military formations ahead each had three thousand troops. The left formation was Yu Jin and the road was fired, and the right formation was Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; Cao Ren and Shi Huan led three thousand infantry and cavalry to the left wing inclined formation, and Xiahou Yuan and Zhu Ling led three thousand infantry and cavalry to the right wing inclined formation. The two wings bent back like hooks, protecting the central army tightly.

This lineup really put a lot of money into it.

The Cao army set up a hook-shaped formation. The front of the hook-shaped formation is one or two square formations, with the two wings bent backwards into hook-shaped to protect the safety of the flanks and prevent the enemy from circumventing the attack behind the commanding golden drums. This is a formation with both offensive and defense, but its defense is greater than the attack. The reason for such a formation is that Cao Cao knew the power of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and he had long understood it and remembered it deeply - his right palm still has a clear burn scar. It was caused by the assault of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry during the Battle of Yanzhou, and Qingzhou soldiers were scattered. The commander, the head coach, fell off his horse when he fled in shock, and his palm hit a fire wooden cart.

Judging from this formation, Cao Cao was clear and clear about the purpose of this battle, that is, to counterattack against defensively and to curb Lu Bu's crazy counterattack. He did not seek merit, but to seek no mistakes. As long as he defended and held back, he would be victory.

Cao Cao, a master of military strategy in the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Bu. A first-class general of the Three Kingdoms.

This will be a fierce battle between Mars and Earth.

The drums and horns shook the sky, the flags covered the sun, the spears and halberds were like forests, and the troops were like walls. The two armies had arranged troops. The drums and horns were temporarily resting, and a brief silence appeared on the empty battlefield. Generally, at this time, the two armies would send envoys to declare war in front of the formation. The content was nothing more than the will of our army to represent the will of heaven. However, the heavens have the virtue of being alive, do not be obsessed with it. Stop the sword and accept surrender (retreat the army), and do not misunderstand it.

This set of things was played for nearly a year in the battle between Cao and Lu Yanzhou, and they were already tired of it. One of them was not a frank detail and the other was born in a wild family. Neither of them was a self-proclaimed person like the Yuan brothers, Tao Qian and Liu Bei who were proud of their identities and were sarcastic. They did it as they said, they did it, and they did not play with the false, so that this set of foreplay would be terrible.

The first thing to break the silence was Lu Bujun.

Cheng Lian pioneered horse approached and asked for instructions: "Master, is it shining in the formation?"

Lu Bu thought about it and shook his head: "Looking at that banner, Cao Zhe used many generals under his command this time, including many warriors with thousands of enemies, such as Dian Wei. Even the two brothers Liu Bei were not easy to meet. No."

Lu Bu was quite familiar with Liu, Guan and Zhang. When he was in Xuzhou, he even almost fought with Zhang Fei for robbing military horses. He knew that these two were not easy to deal with, and he had no problem with his own actions, but Cheng Lian was definitely not an opponent. However, as the commander of the army, he certainly could not do such a thing as fighting in front of the formation.

As for Dian Wei, when Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought in the last battle in Yanzhou, they saw this man wearing two armor, holding dozens of short halberds, throwing his halberds in the rain of arrows, and defeating his iron cavalry. With his eyesight, he could see at a glance that such a fierce man was not something Cheng Lian could deal with. Lu Bu didn't know at this time that in addition to Dian Wei, the two generals beside Cao Cao, there was also a tiger fool Xu Chu who had the ability to drive the bull and had a comparable strength to him. If Cheng Lian was really the chariot formation, he would only be crushed into a slag.

Since the formation is not shining, then start the battle directly. Of course, it is not Cheng Lian, who is Lu Bu's entourage and cavalry general, and he is with the lord and the lord. When the lord goes to fight, he takes the lead. When the lord retreats, he cuts off the rear. For example, commanding the army to attack, the other generals will naturally be responsible for it.

As the central army ordered the cavalry to rush into the right formation with the order flag, the cavalry commander Song Xian was ordered to attack.

Song Xian commanded the infantry battalion. Except for a escort cavalry, the other 800 soldiers were all infantrymen. In fact, the eight strong generals under Lu Bu were good at commanding cavalry, and Gao Shun was even more powerful in infantry and cavalry. Unfortunately, this place was not Bingzhou. An ordinary war horse was expensive and expensive, and it was still expensive. Therefore, cavalry generals like Song Xian could only command infantry to fight.

Because there were too few soldiers, Song Xian's infantry battalion was not divided into two parts, and he used more than 100 old soldiers as the framework to lead the entire battalion to charge. Song Xian knew that his task was to test the entire army. It would be best to win, and it would not be a big problem if he defeated, but he must not be defeated too ugly. This degree must be grasped well.

When the Song-character flag moved, Cao Cao saw it from afar, smiled at Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu said, "It's Song Xian, Zhongde, Wenruo, who do you think you're going to fight?"

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu looked at each other and said together: "It's up to Gong Ming to do so."

None of the three of them said who to send, but they knew exactly who to fight.

"Second brother, third brother, be prepared to fight." Liu Bei suddenly said to the two righteous brothers under the right formation of Cao's army.

Zhang Fei looked back in surprise: "I didn't see the general order from the Central Army... Hey, it's really here. Brother is really predictable."

Liu Bei just smiled faintly at this, and the two advisers Sun Qian and Jian Yong exchanged their eyes and were speechless.

When Liu Bei was driven out of Xiaopei by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, even his wife and daughter were left behind. Apart from his entourage, Bai Li, and his entourage fled, there were not many soldiers and horses left by his side. These three thousand infantrymen were basically authorized by Cao Cao and recruited new soldiers in Yuzhou. After all, Cao Cao granted him the title of governor of Yuzhou. It would be unreasonable not to give him a number of troops.

If you use such new recruits to fight Song Xian, even if you have three thousand to eight hundred, you will have no chance of winning.

Liu Bei had half a lifetime of military service, had rich experience in the battle formation, and after a little pondering, he had a countermeasure. At that moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were invited, and the two generals took the order and left.

After the three-way drum passed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 800 squadrons to fight against Song Xian.

Among this Yuzhou new recruit, a small number of them were bandits, defeated soldiers, and had nowhere to go, and they were re-joined to eat food. This part had some experience in combat formations and had seen blood, but most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes from refugees. These recruits only had a very short time of array training, and even had to make a simple phalanx for a long time. Their combat power was not favored by both the enemy and us. However, at least one thing was fine, that was, there were many people, twice as many as the enemy. This gave the Yuzhou soldiers the courage to charge against the enemy.

Zhang Fei drove the soldiers and shouted with his lion: "After a command, I will rush forward to my grandfather, use my head to report my merits, exchange one head for one stone valley, and two heads for another sheep. If there is no drop of blood on my hands from beginning to end, my grandfather will suck you all over my body!"

Mr. Zhang is famous for his fierceness towards his soldiers, and he often blames them. He said that he would suck you all over with blood. He would definitely not let go of the bottom of his feet. The soldiers all had fear on their faces, just like a flock of sheep driven out by a beast, rushing towards the enemy in chaos.

On the other side of Guan Yu, it was another scene. Guan Yu held a big sword and covered in scales, rode a red horse, led the way, and rushed to the front of the team with more than ten followers. There was no need to just say that the commander was the first, and all the soldiers followed.

One thousand six hundred Yuzhou soldiers raised their spears and swung their halberds, rolled up balls of yellow dust, shouted tremblingly, and came to kill them.

The soldiers on Song Xian's side were a little panicked. After all, the troops were disparity. Several soldiers at the end of the team pretended to sprain their ankles and sat directly on the ground to escape. Unexpectedly, a sudden sound of hooves sounded behind him, followed by several whistles, and each of them had several arrows inserted in the back, and they wailed down.

When Song Xian heard the sound, he looked back, but saw Cao Xing and several followers raising their bows and shouting at him: "According to the lord's order, I will supervise the battle for you."

What else could Song Xian say? At the moment, Chuoji was in his hand and shouted to the soldiers: "Go forward and seek life, retreat and want to live instead of death! If you want to live, fight with me!"

Three large armies were carrying the yellow dust all over the sky and collided hard. At first, it was clear, but in a short while, it turned out that you had me and I had you; later, the scene was in chaos and the formation could not be formed. Many soldiers were surrounded by crowds, like rising tides, rushing forward, pressing backward, and being squeezed in front of them inadvertently, looking up at the halberd that fell from the sky...

At this critical moment of life and death, the smarter ones were some old soldiers, three or five people, and more than ten people gathered together, with their backs on their backs, and their weapons were facing outwards. As long as someone approached, if they didn't know each other, they would kill them regardless of the enemy and us.

The chaos did not last for a while, and Cao's right formation suddenly rushed out of more than 30 cavalry, everyone was in their hands, and the first one was Liu Bei.

Bai Li didn't have many soldiers, but he was an elite soldier who had been through many battles. The flying cavalry arrived, and the arrows were like locusts, instantly slashing a gap in the back of Song Xianjun, causing the enemy to have the illusion of being hit by the front and back, and panic spread immediately.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei drove cavalry and rushed towards the old soldiers who gathered together. The big sword whirlwind and the spear was like lightning, and it defeated several old soldiers in just a few seconds. The old soldiers were the backbone of an army, and once the backbone was broken, the army dispersed.

Song Xian was desperately restraining the army, trying to gather a team of strength to make the final struggle, but saw Zhang Fei, who was wielding the spear like the wind, and a bloody road was coming from behind. He looked at each other, and Zhang Fei pointed his spear like a thunderbolt, and the audience heard it: "Song Xian, don't go, fight with someone!"

It would be fine if Zhang Fei didn’t shout, but this shout was equivalent to reminding Song Xian – it would be strange if he didn’t run away!

Song Xian was brave enough to turn his horse's head and fled under more than ten cavalry guards. As for whether the defeat was ugly, he couldn't care.

Hundreds of soldiers, like ants on a hot pan, ran around, some fled back with the main general, and more of them fled from the battlefield and eventually became defeated soldiers. Hundreds of bloody corpses and wounded soldiers who were wailing on the battlefield...

After the fierce battle, everyone in Yuzhou was panting. Some people sat on the ground regardless of the flesh and blood, looking at each other, unable to believe that they had won. After a moment of silence, cheers were heard.

Cao Cao saw it from afar, nodded in praise, and sighed and said, "Liu Xuande is indeed good at fighting."

Cheng Yu said, "Only when he is good at fighting, the lord must be more careful to avoid losing his tail."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I am the general, why are you afraid of fighting?"

Cheng and Xun looked at each other and stopped talking.

However, Lu Bu on the opposite side had a ugly face. When Liu Bei attacked, he also wanted to send cavalry to intercept him, but Song Xian was defeated too quickly and could not respond.

"Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, and the infantry and cavalry came out together to attack the right-wing Xiahou Yuan tribe." Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun's trapped camp, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "Cao Cao, aren't you guarding against my iron cavalry? I will give you a reassurance!" (To be continued...)
