Chapter 415 Thousands of people were suppressed by one person
Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, facing the Cao army brought by Yu Jin and Xun You, Lu Bu didn't even look at the battlefield behind him.

The leader of the army is Cao Ren, and he may not be worse than Zhao Yun when it comes to arranging troops.

When it comes to martial arts, he is not Zhao Yun's opponent.

After fighting Zhao Yun for a few rounds, Cao Ren felt that he was struggling, so he thrust his weapon forward, turned his horse and left.

Zhao Yun chased after him.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, a voice came from the side: "Zhao Zilong, fight with me if you are capable!"

Hearing the shout, Zhao Yun turned his head and looked over, only to see a burly Cao Jun general rushing towards him with a big knife.

It was none other than Xia Houyuan who rushed towards Zhao Yun.

When Xia Houyuan came to kill him, Zhao Yun secretly called out: "Good job!"

He greeted him with a long gun.

When Cao Ren heard Xia Houyuan's shout behind him, he became more courageous and turned around to attack Zhao Yun.

Facing Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan alone, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all, his spear danced like a windmill, fighting with the two of them.

Cao Jun, who was ambushed by the cavalry, was killed and dispersed at the beginning of the battle, and the morale of the soldiers dropped sharply. Some even dragged their weapons and tried to flee the battlefield in a panic.

The cavalry of the Xuzhou Army followed closely behind them, hacking and killing every Cao Jun they could meet along the way.

Under the pursuit of the cavalry, many Cao troops were beheaded in the wild.

Yu Jin and Xun You, who came to help, were blocked by Lu Bu alone and did not dare to go forward.

The battle behind him was clear, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth. He raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and pointed at Yu Jin who was facing him: "Yu Jin, since you have brought troops to help, why don't you dare to step forward? I don't want to fight you one-on-one, either. You just order the soldiers to rush forward."

Hearing Lu Bu's shout, Yu Jin swallowed his saliva and did not step forward.

During the second battle of Dangshan, Lu Bu single-handedly fought against dozens of generals of the Cao army.

That battle has long cast a deep shadow in the hearts of every Cao Jun.

"Don't fight, don't fight, don't leave, what do you want?" Seeing that there was no movement from Yu Jin, Lu Bu yelled again.

Yu Jin looked at Xun You beside him, but Xun You said, "Let's go!"

An extremely interesting scene occurred on the battlefield.

The three thousand Cao troops brought by Yu Jin and Xun You were actually scared back by Lu Bu alone.

They withdrew from the battlefield, and Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren also realized that their combined efforts could not defeat Zhao Yun, and the Cao army beside them was chased and killed by Xuzhou army cavalry like fleeing sheep.

Knowing that the situation was over, the two met each other's eyes, turned their horses and fled sideways.

Just as Zhao Yun was about to chase, a cavalryman came to him: "General Zhao, the Marquis of Chu has an order not to pursue."

Seeing Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan walk away, Zhao Yun sighed in annoyance.

Lu Bu, who scared Yu Jin away, came to his side on a red rabbit.

Patting Zhao Yun's shoulder lightly, Lu Bu asked, "Didn't Zilong enjoy this fight? Why are you still sighing?"

"It looked like they were going to catch them, but they ran away." Zhao Yun said, "Does Marquis Chu feel annoying?"

"As long as they can't follow behind our army and cause trouble to our army, it's no big deal to let them run away." Lu Bu said as if he didn't care at all: "Zilong ignore them, follow me to chase the army first, maybe it's not a big deal. I can bump into Xiahou Dun."

When Lu Bu mentioned Xiahou Dun's name, Zhao Yun's face became better: "I hope Xiahou Dun will not leave again."

"Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses." Looking around, Lu Bu said, "Yuzhou will be our territory in the future. I don't want to let the corpses litter the ground because of today's fighting, so that the plague will be rampant."

Zhao Yun shouted: "Soldiers, bury the corpse."

The cavalry soldiers who were chasing Cao Jun turned their heads one after another, and many of them got off their horses and dug pits in the wilderness to bury their comrades who died in battle and the bodies of Cao Jun.

Looking at the direction Cao Jun was fleeing from, Lu Bu asked Zhao Yun, "How many Cao Jun did we kill in the previous battle?"

"There should be 8000 to [-] people." Zhao Yun replied: "There are more Cao troops who have fled. If Yu Jin wants to gather them to fight against our army, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

Lu Bu nodded: "As long as we kill them and disperse them, we can rest assured when we attack Xudu."

"I don't understand something very well." Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu, "Cao Cao had more troops than us, so why did he have to disperse them and deploy defenses in various places to defend against our army?"

"Because we blocked him twice at Dangshan." Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao thinks that as long as they occupy favorable terrain, they can defeat us and end this expedition."

"It seems that Cao Cao was wrong this time." Zhao Yun said: "The Marquis of Chu is so brave, how can he be compared to others. Not to mention anything else, just say that just now, Marquis Chu scared Yu Jin away with him alone. How many people in the world can do this with such awe-inspiring reinforcements?"

"You think Cao Jun is afraid of me?" Lu Bu asked Zhao Yun with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Zhao Yun replied, "There shouldn't be anyone else here who is enough to scare them."

"You are leading the soldiers to fight against the enemy, and you have already gained the upper hand." Lu Bu said, "Yu Jin also knows that if he charges forward at this time, he will undoubtedly lead the Cao army behind him to die. Yu Jin is not a reckless person." Husband, of course he knows how to choose."

"What Chu Hou said may be reasonable, but I still feel that he was scared away by Chu Hou alone." Zhao Yun still insisted on his cognition.

Lu Bu didn't say anything more, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at the direction Cao Jun was retreating.

The two men stood on the battlefield, and after a while, a cavalry came to them.

The cavalry cupped their hands and said to the two of them, "Report to the Marquis of Chu that our army has obtained a lot of enemy weapons. The weapons look very strange. Some of them look like crossbow bolts but are much bigger than crossbow bolts."

"It seems that we got the enemy's crossbows and thunder chariots in this battle." Lu Bu greeted Zhao Yun: "Zilong accompany me to have a look."

Zhao Yun agreed, and followed Lu Bu, led by the cavalryman, to the place where the tanu and pili chariots were captured.

The cavalry led them to a place where a lot of ordnance was piled up.

Seeing the ordnance piled up on the ground, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun got off their horses.

Walking up to one of the stepping crossbows, Lu Bu fiddled with it twice, and said to Zhao Yun: "Cao Cao's subordinates really have some talents, and the height of the stepping crossbows is actually adjustable. When you want to shoot the air force, you just need to point the crossbow at the sky. To shoot the enemy on the opposite side, just put the arrow flat.”

"Their thunderbolt chariots are also very delicate." Standing beside a thunderbolt chariot, Zhao Yun inspected it carefully and said, "I think this kind of thing will be very useful if it is used to attack the city."

"The thunderbolt chariot and the crossbow were specially developed by Cao Cao to deal with our air force." Lu Bu said: "From the structure of these two ordnance, the crossbow is not only the natural enemy of the air force, but the cavalry can't get anything against them. Good thing. As for Thunderbolt, I don't think so."

"With these two kinds of ordnance, can we figure out the utensils that broke them?" Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy, but I sent people to Xiliang earlier, and planned to bring Ma Jun from Ma's house to Pengcheng. It is said that Ma Jun is good at organ skills. When he arrives in Pengcheng, we can let him find ways to do it. Make some changes to these two weapons to make them more suitable for the battlefield."

"Except for Marquis Chu, there is no one else who can practice the air force." Zhao Yun said, "I feel that if we manufacture these two kinds of ordnance, it will not be of much use to us."

"Don't underestimate these two weapons." Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun, "Even if the enemy doesn't have an air force, we can still use them."

Looking at Lu Bu suspiciously, although Zhao Yun didn't quite understand the use of these two seemingly heavy ordnance, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't think about this anymore." Lu Bu greeted him: "When the soldiers have cleared the battlefield, we will chase the army as soon as possible."

Zhao Yun agreed and urged the soldiers to expedite the disposal of the corpse.

However, it took more than half an hour, and the cavalry officers and soldiers dug a lot of deep pits, and buried a small number of comrades who died in battle and the bodies of Cao Jun.

Although they were all cavalry, and there were more crossbows and thunder chariots in the team, the speed of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun was not very fast.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, they saw a group of Cao Jun appearing in front of them.

Those Cao Jun ran in a panic.

Seeing another Xuzhou army coming from the opposite side, they were startled for a moment, and then scattered and fled.

Cao Jun found Lu Bu and others, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun also saw them.

"Send someone to capture a few alive." Lu Bu told Zhao Yun, "I have something to ask them."

Zhao Yun immediately selected some cavalry and chased Cao Jun who had fled ahead.

The team continued to march, but in less than half an hour, cavalrymen dragged the captured Cao Jun with ropes to Lu Bu.

Looking at the several Cao troops tied up with ropes, Lu Bu asked them, "Who is your general?"

Several Cao Jun lowered their heads, trembling all over, and didn't dare to look at him more.

Zhao Yun next to him frowned, and shouted sharply: "The Marquis of Chu asked you, are you all deaf?"

After being drunk by Zhao Yun, his whole body shivered, and one of Cao Jun replied tremblingly: "We are all Xiahou Yuanrang's subordinates..."

"Where are Xiahou Yuan's men?" Lu Bu asked again.

"We were scattered." Cao Jun replied, "We followed Chuhou's army, but unexpectedly, two troops came back. General Xiahou was not the opponent of the two generals leading the troops, so he left first."

Two troops, it seems that Zhou Yu sent two elite troops from the Xuzhou army.

"It seems that Xiahou Dun was also killed and dispersed." Looking at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu said, "Zilong's idea of ​​fighting with him may not come true."

"It's okay if we can't achieve it." Zhao Yun replied: "I just feel that it's a pity that we ambushed Cao Jun and failed to capture even one enemy general. Zhou Gongjin sent troops to attack Xiahou Dun, but he also let him run away. Thinking of this, it is true It's very frustrating."

"Don't worry about Zilong, there are still many opportunities." Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "When our army has entered Xudu, I don't believe that Cao Cao will try his best to keep it there."

He waved his hand and commanded the soldiers escorting the captives: "Kill all the captives."

"Chuhou, spare your life!" Hearing that they were all going to be killed, Cao Jun's captives cried and begged for mercy.

Lu Bu ignored them, and continued to advance with Zhao Yun and led the cavalry.

"The Marquis of Chu's attack on Cao Cao is mostly for His Majesty." Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu, "But Your Majesty is in the Imperial Palace of Xudu. If Cao Cao loses to our army and kills him, how should Marquis Chu respond?"

"How else can we deal with it?" Lu Bu said, "When we attack Xudu, Taishi Ziyi's paratroopers will be useful."

"Marquis Chu means to..." Zhao Yun's eyes lit up when Lu Bu mentioned the paratroopers.

Smiling at him, Lu Bu said, "Zilong don't think about entering the city with the paratroopers. The paratroopers enter the city to protect His Majesty. You have to lead the cavalry for me to serve as the vanguard."

"The Marquis of Chu is making fun of me again." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Whenever you attack a city, the cavalry has never been used. If you attack Xudu, I'm afraid I can only watch others make meritorious deeds from behind."

"When attacking a city, the cavalry will not achieve much at first." Lu Bu said, "But when the city gate is opened, the cavalry can drive straight into the city and inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

"I probably understand what Marquis Chu means." Zhao Yun replied, "It's just that I still feel that cavalry can only be of limited use when attacking a city."

"Zilong, don't be anxious. When the city of Xudu is broken, you will know that the cavalry is not useless in attacking the city." Lu Bu patted Zhao Yun's shoulder lightly, and said a word of relief.

He said that the cavalry would be useful in attacking the city, so Zhao Yun stopped arguing and walked forward beside him.

It was late at night when the team walked, and the scouts in front came to the news that Zhou Yu was waiting on the road leading the army.

Upon receiving the news, Lu Bu urged the soldiers to speed up their pace and march towards the place where the army was stationed.

Zhou Yu ordered the trapping camp and the Jiefan soldiers to cooperate with each other to defeat Xiahou Dun, and then he led the army to wait for Lu Bu on the only way to Xudu.

Knowing that Lu Bu was coming, Zhou Yu only brought Zhou Tai to meet him.

Seeing Lu Bu, Zhou Yu asked, "Why did the Marquis of Chu arrive only now?"

"We defeated Cao's army, but got a lot of their ordnance by accident." Lu Bu said, "Both Zilong and I felt it was a pity to lose them, so we took them with us. Unexpectedly, because we brought them, we were delayed a lot. when."

"Could it be that the Marquis of Chu got..." Lu Bu said that they got Cao Jun's weapons, and Zhou Yu immediately understood.

"Gong Jin's guess is right." Lu Bu said, "It's the Thunderbolt Chariot and the Crossbow. With these two ordnance, I will be able to have people make more suitable weapons for use on the battlefield according to their appearance."
