Ding Tao.
"Ha ha!"
Xiahou Dun's hearty laughter rang out in the hall.
"Everyone, my lord has sent someone to reply and we can attack Xiaopei."
Everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"It's great. This time, we can completely eliminate Lu Bu's son."
Among all the people, Li Dian was clenching his teeth and roaring continuously.
"Little Lu Bu, this time, I must cut you into a thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Everyone knew how much harm Lu Bu had done to Li Dian by destroying the Li family of the Cheng family, so they hurriedly offered words of comfort.
"Don't worry, General Li. Even if Lu Bu has great abilities, he will not be able to escape this time."
"General Li, once I catch Lu Bu's son, I'll let you handle it!"
Li Dian's eyes became moist when he heard everyone's consolation. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all, I am deeply grateful."
Xiahou Dun sighed, "Don't worry, General Li. My lord agreed to attack Xiaopei this time because he also wants to avenge you."
Li Dian held his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Xiahou Dun turned his head to look at Man Chong, smiled and asked, "Man Chong, how is the situation at Xiaopei?"
Man Chong stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "The news from the spies over there is that in order to regain strength as soon as possible, Lu Bu'er recruited a large number of refugees to supplement the needs of the army.
However, he forgot to recruit refugees and needed food.
In a short period of time, Lu Bu had recruited 50,000 to 60,000 refugees and gathered in Xiaopei.
As a result, the food supply failed, and in desperation, Lu Bu could only take action against the local gentry.
Although he finally obtained a large amount of food and alleviated the immediate crisis, he also offended all the gentry in Xiaopei, causing all the gentry to flee Xiaopei. "
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Young man Lu Bu is really ridiculous. He drove everyone away. Are there only those refugees who are waiting to eat?"
Man Chong nodded with a wry smile, "That's true. Now only the refugees are left in Xiaopei, and the gentry have all fled to Xuzhou."
Xiahou Dun sneered disdainfully, "Do the refugees Lu Bu wants to point out support him? It's really ridiculous!"
Man Chong frowned and said, "Although Lu Bu got some food, there are too many refugees in Xiaopei. If my prediction is good, I'm afraid his food won't last long."
Li Dian gritted his teeth and said, "Man Zheng, isn't this the best? Lu Bu has no food, how can he fight with us?"
Han Meng laughed and said, "That's right, no one supports Lu Bu, I'm afraid he will be defeated first before we can fight, haha!"
Man Chong nodded, "The most important thing is that Lu Bu has no source of food, but he offended Xuzhou Liu Xuande. As a result, Xuzhou does not support him now, and Xiaopei has become an isolated city."
Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "Man Zheng, since this is the case, our army will set out immediately, taking advantage of Lu Bu's son's lack of food, to defeat him in one fell swoop."
Man Chong said slowly, "General Xiahou, this time we send troops to Xiaopei. Although Lu Bu is small and occupies a disadvantageous position, we have to be careful."
At this point, Man Chong paused, "Although there are not many Bingzhou cavalry left under Lu Bu's command, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated. Once a charge is launched, even if our army can block it, I am afraid it will not be able to be underestimated." There will be heavy losses.
Therefore, I have asked people to prepare antlers and take them with the army. When Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry launches a charge, our army will have a countermeasure. "
"antlers"
Xiahou Dun was immediately overjoyed and nodded, "Man Zheng, my lord always praises you for being cautious. Sure enough, I saw you right. We have prepared enough antlers this time. Even Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry will probably be of no use this time." ,Ha ha."
The antlers in the army are not the horns on the head of the sika deer, which can also be called Juma.
The antlers are made of sharpened logs, placed on a wooden frame, with one end pointing outwards and the other end firmly planted on the ground. The log is raised at an angle that can hit a charging horse.
Because the back of the log is stuck on the ground, it is very strong. Even if a powerful war horse charges, it can only be stabbed into the log and cannot move the log at all.
If a row of resisting horses is placed in front of the camp, no matter how many cavalry are in front, they will only be helpless and helpless.
Therefore, in the army, resisting horses is the nemesis of cavalry.
Xiahou Dun was originally worried about the Bingzhou cavalry, but when he heard these words, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Man Zheng, this time, as long as we can block the charge of the Bingzhou cavalry, Lu Bu'er will definitely be defeated."
Man Chong nodded, "In addition, the food has been prepared, which can be enough for the army for about 20 days."
Xiahou Dun nodded, "Manzhi, Xiaopei is just a city, 20 days should be enough."
Man Chong raised his hand and said, "General Xiahou, I have another question."
Xiahou Dun turned his head to look at Man Chong, smiled and asked, "Man Chong, please speak."
Man Chong asked slowly, "General Xiahou, defeating Lu Bu'er this time should not be a problem, but after defeating Lu Bu'er, what should our army do?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Man Zheng, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Man Chong raised his hand and said, "Although Xiaopei is only a city, it can run through Yanzhou or Xuzhou, so it is a battleground for military strategists.
If our army can occupy Xiaopei, it will be equivalent to opening the door to Xuzhou, which will be very beneficial to our army. "
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun nodded, "Man Zheng, you are right. In this case, after Lu Bu's son is driven out of Xiaopei, our army will occupy this place."
Man Chong waved his hand, "General Xiahou, although our army wants to occupy Xiaopei, I'm afraid Liu Xuande won't agree!"
Xiahou Dun suddenly sneered, "Man Zheng, even if Liu Xuande doesn't agree, so what? Does he have the strength to drive us away?"
Hearing this, Manchong nodded, "This is indeed the case, otherwise you will miss a good opportunity and the gain will outweigh the gain!"
Early the next morning, following Xiahou Dun's order, only Han Hao was left in Dingtao to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city. The rest of the people followed the army straight towards Xiaopei.
Dingtao originally had 18,000 soldiers and horses. This time, almost all of them came out. Xiahou Dun was bound to win.
Xiahou Dun knew that Lu Bu was brave, but he still didn't care, because the Battle of Yanzhou had completely crippled Lu Bu's army. Even his most elite Bingzhou cavalry had been reduced by half. It can be imagined that Lu Bu's army was weak. To what extent.
In addition, Xiaopei is a small city, so it may not be that easy for Lu Bu to regain his strength.
It is for this reason that Xiahou Dun rushed to lead his troops to attack Xiaopei, because he did not want to give Lu Bu a chance to recover.
…
Lu Bu came to the warehouse outside the city, asked someone to guard him outside, and went to the room alone.
"Open the teleportation array."
As the voice fell, the teleportation array appeared in the middle of the two doors as usual.
Lu Bu stepped into the portal and came to the adventure world.
Quack quack!
The two ducks heard the footsteps and immediately struggled and quacked.
Lu Bu looked at the two ducks still struggling there, his eyes brightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward. He did not pick them up, but carefully checked the status of the two ducks.
He can scream, he can move, he is still alive, and nothing seems to have changed.
Ducks can't speak, so of course Lu Bu can't ask for an answer, but this is already the best answer.
At least, these two ducks are still alive, which proves that if I leave, this space will still be running and will not stop because of my departure!
Lu Bu picked up the two ducks, followed the portal back to the warehouse, walked out of the door, and threw the two ducks on the ground.
"Wang Meng, improve the food for everyone tonight."
Wang Meng was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his hand, "Thank you Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu called two people out of the crowd, and then led them to the warehouse and walked into the already opened portal.
After the three of them arrived at Adventure World, Lu Bu pointed in the direction of the red mountain peak and said slowly.
"I'll give you a mission. Now go to the mountain. When you get to the bottom of the mountain, don't go up the mountain. Just wait at the bottom of the mountain."
A soldier asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, just wait, don't you need to kill the wolves?"
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "No, this mission is for you to wait at the foot of the mountain, not to kill the wolves."
At this point, Lu Bu's tone paused, "Please mark down the time. How long will it take by the time I come to find you?"
"I obey my orders."
Seeing that the two of them understood what he was thinking, Lu Bu pointed to the back of the stone and said, "There is food prepared for you there, take it all with you, and nothing will happen to you."
The two of them held hands again and hurried to the front of the stone. After seeing the food behind it, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Lu Bu didn't know how the time here would change after he left. He was worried that something would happen to them, so he prepared baskets of food.
Soon, the two of them were carrying baskets and heading towards the mountain.
Lu Bu looked at the backs of the two of them, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
This time, if they can succeed, Wang Meng and others can specialize in killing wolves in this world and earn a lot of money.
At that time, even if they don't go to Adventure World, they can still act alone in it.
Although these two people may be in danger, Lu Bu still has to do this because doing this experiment is of great significance. Once successful, it will not only be good for Lu Bu alone, but also good for everyone.
Lu Bu left the adventure world in an excited mood. As soon as he returned to Xiaopei, someone came to report.
"Report to Marquis Wen that Dingtao has sent troops and is heading this way."
When he heard the news, Lu Bu frowned, and then shouted, "Zhang Hu, call everyone here immediately to discuss."
Following Lu Bu's order, not long after, the generals of Lu Bu's army arrived one after another.
Cheng Lian asked excitedly, "Marquis Wen, is there going to be a war?"
Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, the spies have sent back the news that Xiahou Dun has led his troops and is heading here."
"Ha ha!"
Cheng Lian punched hard and said with a smile, "Great, this time, let them have a taste of our power."
Lu Bu's eyes swept across the crowd, and he felt a little relieved when he saw that everyone was in high spirits and not timid.
In the Battle of Yanzhou, Lu Bu's army was defeated and withdrew from Yanzhou.
Lu Bu was worried that everyone would feel burdened when they heard Cao Jun's name. Now it seems that he was worried too much.
When two armies are fighting, the most important thing is morale.
Being as strong as a rainbow is the secret to invincibility.
Lu Bu nodded, turned to look at Chen Dao who was standing at the end, and asked with a smile, "General Chen, how is the situation over there?"
Although Chen Dao stood at the end, there was no expression of frustration on his face, and there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Upon hearing Lu Bu's question, Chen Dao hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand, "I would like to report to Marquis Wen that we have recruited 4,000 people and are still selecting them."
This recruitment was really an eye-opener for Chen Dao.
When those refugees heard that manpower was being recruited to prepare to resist the coming enemy, they immediately signed up without saying a word.
Now, the words spoken by those refugees still seem to echo in Chen Dao's ears.
"General Chen, let me go!"
"Marquis Wen, give us a place to eat, and we will protect it."
"Only Wen Hou is willing to give us food, we must not let him down!"
Chen Gong suddenly said, "General Chen, if we open the entire defense line, 4,000 people don't seem to be enough!"
Lu Bu knew the scale of the defense line and nodded, "There must be at least 8,000 people to fill the entire defense line."
Having said this, Lu Bu frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly, "General Chen, there is no need to choose. As long as they are strong and can hold the stone, we will recruit them.
By the way, tell them that this time it is just to protect their homeland, not to recruit soldiers, but mainly to repel the enemy. "
Hearing this, Chen Dao was stunned, and then said with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, these refugees all want to be soldiers. These people selected by the general can become elites in the army with a little training."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "General Chen, in that case, these 4,000 people will remain under your command as the main force for the time being. The rest can be recruited as Xiang Yong."
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Chen Dao was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hands, "Thank you Marquis Wen."
Although Lu Bu's words were spoken lightly, it was indeed a great joy for Chen Dao.
All the 4,000 people recruited this time were brought under the command of Chen Dao. In other words, he now has 4,000 subordinates and is the commander-in-chief of an army.
He never thought that he would be treated so well just after surrendering.
When he was in Xuzhou, although Liu Bei also used Chen Dao very much, he was working in the military camp as a deputy general. Only when he was leading troops to fight, he could lead the army when facing the enemy. With a small group of soldiers and horses.
Now, he can directly lead 4,000 soldiers and horses, and the treatment is completely different.
Although these 4,000 soldiers and horses are all newly recruited refugees, Chen Dao can see that based on the physical constitution of these 4,000 refugees, as long as they are properly trained, they must be elites in the army.
Chen Dao thought of Lu Bu's trust, felt heat rising in his heart, and said with a heavy hand.
