The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 426 is a gamble

Guo Jia and Li Dian mobilized Cao Jun's soldiers to test their arrow skills on the top of the city.

Since it was night and there was no suitable target, Li Dian tied a thick linen cloth to the arrow, and poured a lot of oil on the linen cloth, so that the arrow could burn longer after being ignited and fired.

Outside Xudu City, a small fireball jumped on the ground.

Cao Jun in Chengtou Mountain was in a mess, some people were shouting something loudly, as if it was very lively.

Standing on the edge of the barracks, Lu Bu frowned slightly as he looked at Xu Capital City which was not too far away.

"What are they yelling about?" Sun Ce had already fallen asleep, but was awakened by the yelling of Cao Jun on the top of the wall. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, came behind Lu Bu and said cursingly, "Cao Jun is in a hurry to die. ? In the middle of the night, I didn’t take a good rest and yelled on the top of the city.”

"It seems that there may be nothing to drag down Cao Jun's morale." Looking at Xu Ducheng, Lv Bu seemed to be talking to himself or to Sun Ce: "Cao Jun has found something to do, as long as they have something to do , the energy will be concentrated. What we hope is that Cao Jun's spirit will change. The more they feel that our army has no intention of attacking Xudu, the more beneficial it is to us. But this time Cao Jun has found a way to mobilize them Emotional matters will indeed bring us a lot of trouble."

"There is a day when you get tired of everything." Sun Ce said, "Cao Jun is having a lot of fun now. In a few days, I think they will still be as interested as they are today?"

"After all, they have something to play with." Lu Bu said: "Our soldiers have nothing to do. If this continues, the morale of our army will definitely be lower than that of Cao's army, and it will not be of any benefit to our future fights."

"What is Marquis Chu planning to do?" Sun Ce asked Lu Bu.

"Have the Troubled Soldiers and the Trapped Camp learned to descend from the sky?" Lu Bu didn't answer, but asked Sun Ce back.

Sun Ce replied: "The troubled soldiers and the soldiers who were trapped in the camp already knew how to parachute. So no one dared to speak nonsense anymore. It was the Marquis Chu who gave them a warning earlier, which made them calm down a lot."

"The two teams are the elite of our army's elite." Lu Bu said: "When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, there are not many strong teams in the world that can defeat them. If they are thrown into the city of Xudu, they only need to open the city gate. If we fight, we win."

"If the city gate is not opened, General Gao, myself, and the soldiers who entered Xu Ducheng will not have the chance to come back alive."

"That's true." Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao's tiger guards are the ones you need to be especially careful about."

"The Tiger Guards are no different from ordinary soldiers and horses." Sun Ce said, "At most, they just have a nice name."

Lu Bu turned to look at him and said to him: "Bo Fu must never have such an idea, the Tiger Guard Army was established by Cao Cao in the early years, they have strict military discipline, and they will never push up when they see benefits like other Cao troops. It is no exaggeration to describe the Tiger Guards as being coordinated and advancing and retreating in a certain way."

"The Marquis of Chu only knows about Cao Cao's Tiger Guards, so how does he know that our Jiefan soldiers are better at fighting than the Tiger Guards?" Sun Ce said: "Chu Hou asked me to set up the Jiefan soldiers earlier. After the subsequent training and polishing, they are capable of whatever battlefield they are put into. They are all mere, not to mention that the Xiefan soldiers just go in and open the city gate, and there is a camp on the side to support them. Even if it is Just let Jiefan soldiers enter the city, as long as I am there, I can take down the city gate."

"I am very aware of Bofu's martial arts." Lu Bu nodded: "When you first landed, you should not encounter too much resistance. What should really be alert is when Cao Jun launches a counterattack. By then, their fierce generals will also If you all go forward, the advantage you and General Gao have had will be gone. You must remember that once you enter the city, you can kill fewer enemy troops, but the city gate must be opened. If the city gate does not open, don't say you And General Gao, the soldiers who relieved the troubled soldiers and the soldiers who were trapped in the camp, even Ziyi and I will be buried in Xudu City."

Lu Bu spoke solemnly, and Sun Ce also knew that entering Xudu this time would be an extremely difficult challenge for him to reconcile the troubled soldiers.

If the soldiers can keep the pace and open the city gate, once the army arrives, it will only be a matter of time before they can capture Xu.

If they fail to open the gate of the city as Lu Bu said, the relieved soldiers and the trapped camp will fall into a situation of fighting alone.

Although the Xuzhou army outside the city can also launch an attack, but climbing along the city wall, the casualties must be huge, and it is not known when they will be able to enter Xudu.

After thinking about this, Sun Ce's face became serious.

He said to Lu Bu: "Don't worry, Marquis Chu, as long as I'm still alive, the city gate will definitely be able to open!"

"Bo Fu ordered General Gao to come here too." Lu Bu explained to him.

Sun Ce immediately ordered the guards on the side to invite Gao Shun.

After a while, Gao Shun came in a hurry.

Seeing Lu Bu, he bowed and asked, "Dare to ask Marquis Chu, what can I order?"

"Before I give orders, I have one more thing to ask you." Lu Bu said, "I'll ask again, can the Troubleshooting Soldiers and the Trapping Camp be able to fall from the sky and kill Cao Cao by surprise?"

"The soldiers have practiced very hard these two days." Gao Shun said: "Earlier, they didn't know how to jump from such a high platform, but now everyone can master it proficiently."

"Jumping from a high platform is completely different from jumping from mid-air." Lu Bu said, "No matter how serious a jump from a high platform is, you will be injured. But if you fall from mid-air, if you don't know how to protect yourself, how to let the parachute open , the only thing waiting for them is a dead end."

"The soldiers also understand what Chuhou said." Gao Shun replied, "I have been there all the time in the past few days to urge the soldiers to learn how to parachute from the paratroopers."

"You should have discovered it too." Lu Bu glanced at the faces of the two of them respectively, and said to them: "Whether it's an annoyance soldier or a camper, when they face the paratroopers, they all have a smile on their faces that cannot be concealed." The arrogance of the troops. Soldiers and camps are the elite of our army, and it is understandable for the soldiers to be a little arrogant. However, you two should always keep an eye on them, and give some vigilance when their arrogance goes too far."

"When it comes to individual combat, the three paratroopers are no match for the troopers." Sun Ce replied, "The soldiers are not arrogant, they just feel that the paratroopers are too weak. I sometimes talk about it with General Gao, If the Marquis of Chu led paratroopers to seize the palace, it would be better to randomly draw one from the trouble-relieving soldiers or the trapping camp."

"How many people are there in the Jiefanbing and trapping camps?" Lu Bu suddenly asked the two of them.

Both Sun Ce and Gao Shun looked confused.

Gao Shun asked Lu Bu: "At the beginning, the Marquis of Chu said that the elite should have a unified organizational system, so both teams have 5000 people."

"There are only 5000 people, how dare you look down on more than [-] troops." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "You two should also understand that most of the soldiers who accompanied us on the expedition were not as elite as the soldiers who relieved troubles and trapped the camp. If the soldiers They are so arrogant in the army that even Tong Ze is not used to seeing them, once it comes to a critical moment, who is willing to save them sincerely?"

Stunned by Lu Bu's question, Sun Ce and Gao Shun looked at each other again, and they both saw guilt on each other's faces.

"If the two generals agree with me, please tell us about the soldiers under your command." Lu Bu said to the two of them, "The drills for removing troublesome soldiers and trapping the camp have been completed, and the time has come for us to attack Xu Du. .”

"When is Marquis Chu planning to attack?" Gao Shun and Sun Ce's eyes lit up when the attack was mentioned, and Sun Ce blurted out a question.

"Tomorrow night." Lu Bu said: "I will lead the paratroopers to the palace first, and wait until there is chaos in Xudu City. Then you take a balloon to the sky, and then enter the city to make a scene for me."

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu." Sun Ce replied with a smile: "The trouble-relieving soldiers may not be able to do anything else, but they still have the ability to make trouble for others."

"Be honest in the camp." Gao Shun said: "However, whether they will make trouble depends on who they are fighting with. Once the Annoying Soldiers make trouble, the soldiers who are trapped in the camp will never lose to Li killed them."

The two spoke decisively, Lu Bu nodded, and said to them: "You two don't just make up your mind with me here, I'll wait to see how you perform tonight."

"Chuhou is in the palace, so he has no chance to see our performance." Sun Ce curled his lips in disappointment: "Actually, I still think that to save His Majesty, Taishi Ziyi alone is enough. Chuhou should be there By our side, after all, we came here to defeat Xu Du."

"Your task is too simple." Lu Bu said to Sun Ce: "As long as you open the city gate, the matter will be settled. Such a simple matter, why do you need me to go? If you open the city gate smoothly, you will be able to wait until Xudu is captured. , I congratulate you both. If I didn’t open it, I wouldn’t say anything else. On Huangquan Road, we walked across Naihe Bridge holding hands and singing songs.”

Speaking of Huangquan Road, Lu Bu's tone was flat as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Sun Ce and Gao Shun are full of black lines.

Gao Shun said: "The battle is about to start, so Marquis Chu should not say these unlucky words."

"Okay, you won't be happy if you tell me." Lu Bu said with a smile, "I won't say anything, but if you want to live, you should know what to do."

"You two go back to prepare your soldiers first, and don't let them practice during the day tomorrow." Lu Bu said to the two of them: "When attacking Xu Capital City, the soldiers should be as close together as possible, but don't be scattered here and there. Clenched fists It hurts when you slap it, but if you let it go too far, you can't even count it as a slap."

"We both wrote down what the Marquis of Chu said." Sun Ce and Gao Shun agreed together.

The two then resigned and left, and each went to the barracks to prepare the soldiers for the battle.

But Lu Bu told the guards: "Go and invite Zhou Gongjin and Xu Yuanzhi."

The guards took orders to invite Zhou Yu and Xu Shu.

Not long after, the two were ordered to come.

After meeting Lu Bu, Zhou Yu asked, "Is the Marquis of Chu planning to attack Xu Du?"

"Exactly." Lu Bu said, "Both the troubleshooters and the trapped camp have learned to use parachutes, and I also think it's time to attack."

"If we had attacked one day earlier, we could have taken advantage of Cao's slackness to gain some benefits." Zhou Yu replied, "Now that Cao's army is on the alert, and the Marquis of Chu launches an attack, the danger will be a little more dangerous."

"Attacking at this time, of course, I know it will be a bit dangerous." Lu Bu said: "Cao Jun has found a way to play, but our soldiers are here every day. You know, if you are idle for a long time, the morale of the soldiers will be wiped out. Once they lose their morale, it will be impossible for me to organize an effective attack if I want to launch an attack at that time."

"I'm not saying you shouldn't attack." Zhou Yu explained: "I just think that the attack is a little more dangerous at this time, and I want to remind Chuhou that he has entered the city of Xudu, and everything must be careful."

"Bringing paratroopers into the city, I don't care about things outside the city." Lu Bu said to Zhou Yu and Xu Shu: "The army will be under your command. Once the city gate is opened, order Zilong to lead the cavalry into the city first, and the other soldiers Follow closely, and don't let Cao Jun outside the city react."

"We are very clear about how the Marquis of Chu plans to arrange it." Zhou Yu said again: "Once the city gate is opened, we will definitely urge the army to enter the city. As for the outside of the city, we will leave a team near the city gate at that time." After the break, even if the Cao army from behind kills us, they can only fight our army near the city gate. In this battle, Cao army has the upper hand, and our army may not be able to win favor. The most important thing is to see Chu Hou."

"Of course it depends on me." Lu Bu said, "If I can save His Majesty today, I will send him away after he is safe. I will rush to help the city. With Cao Cao's generals, which one will be me?" opponent?"

"It seems that Marquis Chu and I have the same ideas." Zhou Yu said, "What really matters in this battle is Marquis Chu's bravery."

Lu Bu nodded: "I have martial arts, of course I want to use it on the battlefield. Although I fought against dozens of Cao generals in the battle of Dangshan, it was not very enjoyable. Now that I have attacked Xudu and arrived at Cao Cao's lair, of course I will Kill it to your heart's content!"

"Actually, Marquis Chu still has some disadvantages in this expedition." Xu Shu interjected.

Lu Bu interrupted him: "Yuan Zhi didn't say anything, I just waited until you had something to say. What you wanted to say was that our army's scouts were too poor to deliver the news in time, which made me so passive."

"Since Marquis Chu understands everything, I won't say any more." Xu Shu replied, "I just hope that this battle will be as Marquis Chu thought."

Including Lu Bu, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu also knew that Lu Bu's decision to attack Xu Du was a lot of gambling.

The bet won, they took Xudu, and the balance of power with Cao Cao was reversed.

If you lose the bet, from now on, there will be no Xuzhou Lu Bu in the world!
