Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354 Turtle?hedgehog?
According to the valet, Cao Cao was really moved. After all, shooting him with a bow and arrow can reduce many casualties, and it is likely to keep Liu Yu behind.

This is not imaginary, as long as Cao Cao is more ruthless, regardless of his own side who besieged and killed Liu Yu, and ordered all arrows to be fired, where can Liu Yu in the Chinese army escape?
It's not that Cao Cao can't be ruthless, he can use human flesh as military rations, and kill food officials to calm the anger of soldiers, how could he be ruthless.In fact, he was hesitant because he loved Liu Yu's martial arts talent.

As we all know, Cao Cao loves talent like his life. In history, even Liu Bei and Guan Yu let him go because of his love for his talent, although he later regretted it.Therefore, Liu Yu, who is more talented than Liu Bei, must love his talent more.

Of course, Cao Cao knew that Liu Yu was unlikely to surrender to him, but if he defeated him, it would be a great pleasure to let him be a idler who accompanied wine and recited poems.It should be noted that Cao Cao can only use one word to explain Liu Yu's literary talents-very much love him!

In addition, Cao Cao also noticed Xu Chu and found that he was like Dian Wei, so he loved him very much.Even, when he couldn't help asking around, and thus knew Xu Chu's identity, he hated him greatly and shouted: "Qiao has such a strong general, why doesn't he come under my command?"

It was precisely because of Liu Yu and Xu Chu that Cao Cao hesitated and did not immediately order to release arrows.But this does not mean that Liu Yu and others are safe, because Guo Jia walked up to Cao Cao and said loudly: "Why are you still hesitating, Mr. Cao? Have you forgotten about Yuan Shu and Sun Ce?"

When Yuan Shu explained Sun Ce, he meant that Yuan Shu let Sun Ce into Jiangdong, made Sun Ce stronger, and finally turned against him.

Cao Cao, who was reminded, couldn't help but concentrate, and looked at Liu Yu who was in the Chinese army.He saw Liu Yu waving his spear, with a heroic figure; he saw Xu Chu slashing with his sword, his face grim; he saw his soldiers fell to the ground, dripping with blood...

You can't be soft-hearted, absolutely not!
Cao Cao is not a person who is indecisive. Now that he has made a decision, of course he will implement it immediately.No, he immediately ordered the flag bearer to wave the flag and command Xia Houchun and Xia Houyuan to retreat. He didn't care about ordinary soldiers, but it was impossible not to care about his clansmen, and he was also a general under his command.

Xia Houchun and Xia Houyuan saw the flag bearer waving the flag, and immediately understood that it was to make them retreat.Although they didn't understand why the two of them were asked to retreat, they still obediently complied.Although the two of them were rebellious, they still obeyed Cao Cao.

Although Liu Yu also noticed the flag bearer, he didn't understand Cao Jun's flag language, and naturally he didn't know what it meant.But he was very keen, and soon noticed that the two Xiahou brothers were retreating, and the two brothers were not easy, knowing that they could not retreat in a hurry.Unfortunately, Liu Yu still saw through their intentions.

With a grim smile, Liu Yu quickly swept around while fighting, and found a figure shaking in the distance.After a little thought, Liu Yu knew Cao Jun's plan.

Hehe, it's a pity, I was prepared for this move.

Liu Yu smiled coldly, swept the head of a Cao Jun in front of him with a spear, and then shouted sharply: "The enemy has changed, set up the formation!"

Archer, shoot and kill, think I'm unprepared?

After Liu Yu sternly shouted, he took something from the guard beside him, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a round shield.This shield is in Liu Yu's hands, and it doesn't look very heavy.In fact, this shield is not heavy, it is not made of iron, but not heavy does not mean it is not hard.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Liu Yu to let the soldiers have one!
Just as Liu Yu took over the round shield, all the soldiers under Liu Yu's command took out the round shield from their backs and put it in front of them.This is not over yet, because Liu Yu said the word "arrangement", it is naturally impossible for the soldiers to remain indifferent.

No, all the soldiers moved quickly, and soon formed a circle, with the round shields facing the outside, and the people inside the circle.Not only that, the logistics soldiers within the circle also raised their shields, the difference was that they raised their shields to the sky.

Cao Cao on the mound saw this formation, and immediately said: "Turtle formation!"

Not to mention, this array really looks like a tortoise, and it just so happens that the shield is also round, so it looks even more like it.

Just as Cao Cao spoke, that is, the moment the tortoise formation was formed, Cao Jun's arrows shot like a rainstorm, covering Liu Yu's entire land.

Not only Liu Yu and the others, but also Cao Jun who was close to them were all within range.Liu Yu and the others had a tortoise array, so nothing happened. The arrows hit the round shield and all fell off one after another.But those Cao Jun were unlucky, they were caught off guard, and a thousand arrows pierced their hearts in an instant, and the dead couldn't die anymore.

After a burst of arrows, Liu Yu looked through the gap, and suddenly his eyes shrank sharply, quickly covering the gap.It turned out that the second burst of arrow rain came again.It's a pity that the second battle was useless. Liu Yujun, who was squatting in place, was not injured at all.

Not reconciled, Cao Jun shot another round, but of course it was useless, so they wanted to shoot the fourth round.But before he could do anything, Cao Cao ordered to stop shooting arrows.

Cao Cao could see it clearly, knowing that Liu Yu was prepared, and bows and arrows were useless at all.But he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "This Liu Yu is quick-witted, and he thought of pretending to be a tortoise. It's a pity that he is not a real tortoise. Come, let General Xia Houchun lead the cavalry to charge."

Liu Yujun squatted where he was, and would not dare to come out for a while, and many war horses were abandoned.Therefore, Cao Cao immediately saw the weakness of the tortoise array, that is, if he charged with cavalry, he would definitely break through immediately.

When Xia Houchun led the cavalry roaring towards him, at about 30 meters away, Liu Yu finally noticed.If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I have already panicked. Didn't the 30 meters be reached in an instant?

Moreover, the war horse took advantage of the momentum and was so aggressive that it might not be able to stop it.

Can't stop, can't escape, what should I do?

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help smiling. He seemed to see Liu Yu's frightened and angry expression on the mound.But he was disappointed, Liu Yu didn't show any surprise or anger on his face, but instead showed a weird smile.

"Change formation!"

30 meters, cavalry, Xia Houchun!

Liu Yu didn't panic, even the soldiers under his command looked calm.There is no other reason, only because Liu Yu has been prepared.

No, when Liu Yu yelled and changed his formation, the soldiers immediately moved again.They were divided into two teams, one with shields and the other with spears.

The formation is still maintained, but the difference is that the sharp tip of the spear emerges from the gap.From Cao Cao's position, it looks like a tortoise covered with sharp thorns.Well, the word hedgehog is more appropriate.

Cao Cao was stunned, and Guo Jia beside him was stunned.

Xia Houchun, who was running wildly, was also stunned.

But after all, the arrow was on the string, so Xia Houchun was only taken aback for a moment, and then rushed over with a ferocious expression.

Liu Yu, who saw this scene, also showed a serious smile, as if saying: Come on, come to die!
