Lu Bu laughed ferociously: "You have such a loud tone, and you're not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue! No one dares to talk to me like that!"
Cao Ren, I will be polite to you first and then fight with you. Let's talk things out!
The hatred or cruelty between Cao Cao and Tao Qian has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the people in Xuzhou!
Now that I lead Xuzhou as a herdsman, I have to protect the safety of the people there. If you want to attack my city and massacre my people, I will never agree!
You are not qualified to talk to me here. Go back ten miles and camp. When Cao Cao comes, I will reason with him! "
Although he knew that Cao Cao would be his strong enemy in the future, Lu Bu knew that it was not the time to fall out with Cao Cao yet.
His foundation in Xuzhou is not stable, while Cao Cao has been operating in Yanzhou for many years, especially after merging several Yellow Turban armies last year, his strength has greatly increased.
Now, a head-to-head confrontation with Cao Cao would result in both sides losing at best.
What's more, he had just become enemies with Yuan Shu.
If he offends everyone, his life will not be easy in the future.
Lu Bu's plan was to first win over Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shu.
And Cao Ren also had his own plans.
What's the simplest and crudest way to become famous? Kill the number one in the world!
At this moment, Lu Bu, who is known as the best general in the world, is right in front of him. Although it is a challenge, it is also a rare opportunity!
I may not be able to defeat you, Lu Bu, in a duel. I have so many people! Who stipulates that in a war, generals must fight alone first?
Although Lu Bu's men are well-equipped with armor and weapons, and appear to be well-trained, why should I beat you one by one among five of them?
Having made up his mind, Cao Ren sneered: "Lu Bu! Are you a capricious villain worthy of meeting my lord?
My lord's revenge for killing his father must be tasted with blood! If you know the truth and quickly dismount and surrender, I can take you to see my lord!
If not, I will conquer Liu County first, and then Pengcheng! "
Xu Chu couldn't help but became furious after hearing this: "My lord! This guy is so arrogant and rude! Xu Chu wants to fight and teach him how to speak!"
Lu Bu nodded: "Zhong Kang, be careful, this guy is also a fierce general, don't underestimate him!"
Xu Chu promised and rode his horse to the formation. He pointed at Cao Ren with his majestic long hammer and cursed:
"Cao Ren! You little bastard! How dare you bark here, you are disrespectful to Marquis Wen!"
For the sake of you and my fellow countrymen, quickly dismount and surrender, kowtow to my lord and apologize!
Otherwise, come and compare with me, which one is tougher is your words or mine! "
Only then did Lu Bu remember: These two guys are both from Qiao County! Qiao County is really full of talents!
Cao Ren, however, had no intention of fighting Xu Chu bravely.
I am the son of Cao Chi, Marquis of Chen Mu, and the disciple of Cao Cao. How noble is my status?
Xu Chu is just a young man from a small clan with some power. If you fight against him, it's not worth bragging about. If you lose, you'll lose face!
Cao Ren would not do this kind of thing that would be unpleasant to win or lose!
Yin sneered and said: "Where can you come from a mountain village and have the nerve to be friends with me? Why don't you urinate and show yourself whether you are worthy or not!"
Xu Chu was furious after hearing this, and was about to go up to fight, but saw Cao Ren wave his hand, and the cavalry behind him started to move towards him.
The sound of clanging bells sounded from behind.
Although Xu Chu was resentful in his heart, he also knew that he could not get any advantage by being invisible in front of so many people, and he did not dare to disobey the military order, so he had to turn his horse's head and return to the formation.
"Form up! The crossbowmen are ready!" Lu Bu bent his bow in his hand and aimed at the person at the front.
The giant square shields in the front row were arranged like a wall, and behind each shield there were two people working together to hold it up.
The spears in the second row stretched out like porcupine quills.
In the gap, the crossbowman was already aiming ahead.
"Let go!" Lu Bu let go of his hand, and shot out the arrow with a buzzing sound from the bow string, hitting a Cao Jun between the eyebrows.
The arrow penetrated his entire head and pierced the helmet on the back of his head.
The man rolled off his horse without saying a word, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the horses' hooves behind him.
A row of arrows flew over, and dozens of people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.
However, the vanguard led by Cao Ren was also an elite soldier, and the death of one man obviously had no impact on other soldiers.
They lowered their postures one after another. Seeing that they had reached the optimal sprint distance, they pressed their horses and began to speed up.
Thousands of horse hooves stepped on the hard loess, smoke billowed, and the rumbling sound made the earth tremble.
"Don't panic! Hold on!" Lu Bu continued to shoot arrows, not forgetting to calm the emotions of the soldiers.
The centurions and chiefs passed on the orders one by one, reaching everyone's ears.
Only twenty steps away, the crossbowman drew his sword after shooting the last arrow, and followed the sword player to hold the shield.
The spearman behind quickly followed, and a two-meter-long spear poked out from the gap on the top of the shield, like the barbs on a porcupine's back, pointing at the height of the horse's neck.
There was a loud noise, and the first Cao Bing's horse hit the spear!
The tip of the spear pierced the horse's neck, and Lu Bing, who was holding the spear, was knocked back a few steps and fell to the ground.
The war horse did not stop, but hit the shield wall again, making a roar!
The huge impact made the three people holding the shields groan, and they used all their strength to withstand the impact.
Cao Jun, who was on horseback, fell directly from the horse's neck into the shield wall due to inertia.
Before he hit the ground, two knives with a head ring chopped him into pieces without regard to his appearance.
This was just the beginning. The second and third Cao soldiers had already arrived, and they rammed their horses into the shield wall without fear of death.
After I don’t know how many cavalrymen and horses fell, several gaps were finally opened in the shield wall, and Cao Jun began to break through the defense line.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat begins!
"Kill!" Lu Bu was riding on the horse, holding a halberd with both hands, and knocked off the horse a Cao Jun who was charging towards him.
Dian Wei was not good at riding, so he simply abandoned his horse and started slashing like crazy with a pair of iron halberds!
Xu Chu's long hammer seemed inflexible in such a melee. Seeing that Dian Wei was killing so smoothly, he simply grabbed two Huanshou knives and slashed wildly with his bow from left to right.
The generals were so brave, and the soldiers were also inspired. They could not help but greet Cao Jun who rushed into the formation with their spears and steel swords.
The entire military formation seemed to have turned into a huge flesh and blood mill, mercilessly crushing all enemies that rushed in!
At this time, the excellent protective capabilities of the armor are revealed.
They also cut each other with swords and stabbed each other with spears. Cao Jun's casualties were much more tragic than Lu Jun's!
When the two armies first came into contact, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici led a group of light cavalry to fight out from the north and south gates of the city.
It was still the same tactic as last time. The two light cavalry did not rush into Cao's army, but only shot with bows and arrows from a distance of thirty to fifty steps.
Cao Jun, who was on the edge, suddenly looked like a leek field hit by hail, with gaps appearing one after another!
Cao Ren couldn't help but be shocked: There are actually ambushes in this small city?
