Chapter 174 Xiao Zhan Rencheng
There are still many large shields, and everyone has bamboo helmets. The only regret is that there is no iron armor yet. I can’t take care of it. The veterans of Xuzhou headquarters have not yet popularized iron armor. The iron armor made by one hammer is slow.
Lu Qian has been so uncomfortable these days. The mouse crawled into the bellows and was angry at both ends. Cao's army chased him from behind, and Xuzhou army blocked him from the front. Lu Qian was not advancing, nor was he retreating.
Lu Bu led a large army to Sishui, which calmed Gao Shun's heart.
"Master, I came so fast." Gao Shun praised.
"I received the news and set off overnight. How about it? What's the movement over Cao Cao?"
"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Yuan besieged Lu Qian from three ways. Lu Qian was trapped in Rencheng. It seemed that he wanted to surrender Lu Qian."
Lu Bu nodded: "Lu Qian lived in Rencheng for generations and has a lot of prestige here. The Cao army is not easy to attack. Now we should be preparing for negotiations. We cannot let them have the best. We will leave a large group of people for you. Zang Ba and I led two thousand cavalry to raid over, and gave Cao army a sudden attack and cut off Lu Qian's retreat."
It sounds a bit risky, but the problem is not big. No general of Cao's army is a match for Lu Bu.
People ate and had horses and had rest for two days. At night, Lu Bu led his army to Rencheng and Sishui to Rencheng. It was only a hundred miles apart. If he could arrive until dawn, the horse would be ruined. So he ran for only half the night and found a place to rest. On the afternoon of the next day, he arrived at Xiahou Yuan's camp. Xiahou Yuan's camp was located in the south of Rencheng and twenty miles apart from Cao Ren's camp.
Xiahou Yuan led a thousand cavalry to patrol the outside of Rencheng and was preparing to return to the camp for dinner. It was already early winter and it was very cold.
Dongdong, Dongdong, the war drums sounded and the horn sounded.
Xiahou Yuan looked up and saw that there was a black cavalry in front of him blocking the road. He took the lead in a big flag with the word Lu written on it, and a slightly shorter flag next to it with the word hidden.
"Arrangement." Xiahou Yuan was so scared that he was shocked. He often knocked on geese. Recently, he often let the geese get eyebrows. The enemy only found out when he touched it.
Lu Bu was not in a hurry to attack and teased at Xiahou Yuan's formation.
Lu Bu urged him to come forward and laughed: "Xiahou Yuan, are you surprised or not, are you surprised or not?"
"You, you, why are you?"
When Xiahou Yuan first saw the word "Lu" and thought it was Lu Qian.
"Lu Qian is my brother, how can you let you bully me? Those who know the truth will dismount and surrender, otherwise today will be your day of worship next year."
The red rabbit horses in Lu Bu come immediately.
Xiahou Yuan's scalp was numb, and he could encounter this pervert no matter where he went.
As a last resort, Xiahou Yuan raised his sword and fought with Lu Bu. He could not defeat six or seven times. Xiahou Yuan led his army to escape to the west.
Lu Bu and Zang Ba led the army to crush them from behind.
A thousand cavalry left him at least four or five hundred, and seized more than three hundred horses.
Zang Ba was so happy: "Lord, this cavalry and shooting tactic is really easy to use. We have killed so many enemies, and we have almost no casualties."
"This is mainly because Xiahou Yuan was beaten to the shadow. When we saw it, we wanted to run away. We didn't want to fight at all, so we easily won the victory. We also occupied Xiahou Yuan's camp."
I got a large camp in vain, and I had everything from food, grass and supplies, which was pretty good.
In the middle of the night, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan gathered together, with about 5,000 people pounced on Xiahou Yuan's camp.
The group rushed in, and there were bonfires on the school ground, and a few sheep were hanging upside down, beating the war drums below from time to time. This was called hanging sheep and beating the drums.
Xiahou Yuan wondered: "It's strange, why is there no one?"
The sergeant searched and found a large note hanging in front of him, which said crookedly: I'm tired of living here, so I'm going to Caoren's camp.
When Cao Ren saw it, he was furious: "No, come back to the army quickly, my camp is in danger."
The three of them stayed without any of the soldiers and ran back to Caoren's camp.
As soon as they left, Lu Bu and others came back and slept and rested peacefully.
The three of them returned to Cao Ren's camp and saw that nothing happened and they were not attacked.
"Lu Bu is so funny, forget it, let's just do it tonight, and fight again tomorrow."
I've been struggling and have rested.
The next morning, the generals left behind in Cao Hong's camp came to report the news in tears.
"In the early morning, the camp was destroyed by Lu Bu, and the supplies and food were burned by a fire, and hundreds of brothers died in battle."
Cao Hong slapped his thighs after hearing this: "Hey, I was fooled by Lu Bu again. I sent a letter to the lord and asked for reinforcements."
At this time, Lu Bu was resting in a sycamore forest north of Rencheng. He was struggling and struggling last night, and he was in a mess.
Even the energetic Red Rabbit Horse was a little tired, and the group rested all day.
The soldiers were also very tired, but more happy. The battle was won with extremely small casualties.
More than 600 best horses seized were left in Lu Bu's army to carry the baggage, and their mobility was even stronger.
In the evening, a large group of people appeared at the north gate of Rencheng.
Zang Ba took off his horse and shouted to the city gate: "Brother Lu Qian came out and answered."
The soldiers went back to report, and it took two quarters of an hour before Lu Qian appeared in the city tower.
Zang Ba smiled and said, "Brother Lu Qian, you no longer have to worry about Cao's army. Yesterday, he defeated Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong in a row, and the three men were in a mess. Rencheng is worry-free."
Lu Qian seemed not to buy it: "Who asked you to come here? I'm really meddling in other people's business."
"Zike, as a human being, you should know how to be proud. Wen Hou and I will rush to break the siege of Rencheng. Why are you so ungrateful?
Lu Qian stomped his feet angrily: "You have defeated Cao's army. Once they get angry, they will kill the people outside the city, and the people will suffer."
Lu Bu is angry. This guy is just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and is afraid that Cao Cao will kill the people? If I am with me, Lu Bu, will it be fine?
Lu Bu bent his bow and shot an arrow on the plaque of Rencheng.
"Lu Qian, I'll give you two quarters of an hour to consider. You can't go to Cao Zhe. Come to Xuzhou. Only Xuzhou can keep you safe in Rencheng. If you don't open the city, I will order the camp to attack the city. At that time, the army will pass by, and there will be no chicken or dog left."
Zang Ba said, "Lord, I'll go and persuade Zike. After all, I've been friends for more than ten years, so I still have face."
"Well, okay, please pay more attention to safety. If I don't come out then, I will be attacking the city."
Lu Bu said it very loudly on purpose. In fact, this is a deception of Lu Qian. Lu Bu did not even bring infantry, so why should he attack the city?
Zang Ba and Sun Guan entered the city.
Lu Qian was sulking, and Zang Ba was not polite.
"I think you are going back and forth. Xuzhou defeated Cao's army and Dongwu, and killed Taishi Ci in the formation. Now, any general of Cao's army, who sees Wen Hou, is like a mouse and a cat. Yesterday, when Wen Hou came out, he scared Xiahou Yuan away. Cao Cao was just a grasshopper in the autumn and could not jump for a few days. What future can he have with him?"
