Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 414: The Battle of the Central Plains

Zhongmu, Cao Jun camp.

The battle hasn't started yet, but the two sides have already begun their respective preparations.

When Xiahou Dun came in, he saw Hua Tuo giving Cao Cao an injection, and lowered his voice, My lord?

Yuan Rang. Cao Cao opened his eyes slightly, looked at him, raised his hand and said, Sit.

Here! Xiahou Dun knelt down and said to Cao Cao, My lord, there is no news about the secret work we sent to Luoyang. Now, except for the troops from all walks of life, no one is allowed in and out of Luoyang, including merchants from all over the place. , Xu Rong keeps increasing his troops in the Xingyang area, and it seems that he may attack at any time, now a line is formed in Aocang, Xingyang and Longcheng, and our soldiers will suffer from the opponent's exploits if they get close.

What about Nanyang? Cao Cao asked.

Gao Shun has already moved his troops to the Kunyang area, but there are not many troops, only about 30,000 people. Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu mobilized 100,000 troops to attack Jizhou, but now Xu Rong only has 50,000 troops, and Gao Shun's 30,000, only 80,000, and Cao Cao has mobilized 240,000 troops from various places this time. Dajun, this is a real number. In order to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass, ditches were dug from Guandu to facilitate the transportation of grain.

Although Lu Bu has a Tai Chi cart, he can only go to Luoyang. From Luoyang, he still has to rely on manpower to transport supplies, while Cao Cao's side basically relies on water transportation. The burden must be heavier than Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao set up the defense line in the area of ​​Zhongmou and Guandu, just to see if he could block Xu Rong head-on. If he couldn't, he could build up the walls and clear the fields, block the waterways, or attack with water, or intercept the Guanzhong Army's grain road.

But it is best to be able to block the pace of Guan Zhongjun, so that he can turn around and support Yuan Tan.

Now Cao Cao really didn't want anything to happen to Yuan Tan. Once Qingzhou was breached, the defense force behind him might not be able to stop Hua Xiong.

Do you still remember the strategy of dealing with the thunder weapons of the Guanzhong Army? Cao Cao asked.

These weapons are called firearms on Lu Bu's side, but on the Yuan family and Cao Cao's side, they are called thunder weapons, because their sound is like thunder, but no matter what, Cao Jun's side has something to do with Xu Rong's firearms. some countermeasures.

Remember. Xiahoudun nodded fiercely, he wanted to see the power of the lightning weapon.

Yesterday, Wen Ze came to report that another batch of luggage came from Longcheng, and Xu Rong's main force seems to have arrived in Longcheng. I see that the battle is not far away here. You and Mancheng have sons and sons, so be careful. Cao Cao asked.

Here! Xiahou Dun replied in a loud voice.

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal Xiahou Dun to go down, and Hua Tuo continued to diagnose and treat him.

After a while, Hua Tuo just closed the needle, and Cao Cao's headache gradually dissipated. He turned his head to look at Hua Tuo and said, Yuanhua's medical skills are really good, but I don't know if my headache can be cured?

Hua Tuo sighed, shook his head and said: Your Majesty, I can detect your disease because of the stagnation of Yin Qi in the brain. If there is a skillful hand who can shake it away with a few needles, the disease will be cured without medicine.

Can't Yuanhua do it? Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo shook his head: If the skull can be opened, I may be able to do it, but if only acupuncture is used, there may only be one person in the world who can do it.

Oh? Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo and said, Who is it?

As for the theory of opening the skull, Cao Cao automatically ignored it, because his brain is sick... It is true that his brain is sick, but if the human head is opened, can it be closed? joke.

The imperial captain, Lu Bu. Hua Tuo affirmed.

Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo silently without speaking, but his eyes were a little gloomy.

Hua Tuo said to himself: The Taiwei's medical skills are the only ones I have seen in my life. It is a blessing that I have the honor to participate in the compilation of the imperial court's medical scriptures. It is also in Chang'an for several years that I can improve my medical skills. If you want to reach the level of Lv Taiwei, I am afraid that there is no hope in this life.

Yuanhua, do you feel lonely? Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo and asked.

Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cao in astonishment: What does your envoy mean by this?

Lü Bu, I believe you say he is brave and good at fighting, you say he loves the people like his son, I believe you, you say he can strategize, I still believe him, but you say he has superb medical skills... Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo: I thought Yuan Hua is an expert outside the world, and he would say such flattering words if he didn't want to.

Hua Tuo suddenly came to a sudden, shook his head and laughed and said: Your words are wrong. I naturally admire the Taiwei. The book of medical classics alone can be called the holy book of medicine. If the Taiwei does not have this ability, I will Why bother to talk nonsense and practice yourself for nothing.

Seeing that Hua Tuo's demeanor did not seem to be fake, Cao Cao frowned and waved his hands, telling Hua Tuo to back down. After Hua Tuo left, Cao Cao groped his chin and still couldn't figure it out.

Lu Bu, a miracle doctor?

The picture of Lu Bu holding Fang Tian's painting halberd to give himself acupuncture can't help appearing in his mind~ Huh~ What's the difference between this and a craniotomy?

Forget it, let's finish this battle first.

Just as Cao Cao expected, on the third day after Xu Rong arrived in Longcheng, he ordered Wei Yue and Wei Xu to lead their troops to advance towards Guandu. , but in the end he was still defeated by the opponent's shocking thunder. The thing was thrown out as if it didn't cost money, and it blew up abruptly, repelling Cao Jun.

In another two days, Xu Rong ordered Pang De to lead an army to detour to Feilin alone to pretend to take Chen Liu. Cao Cao ordered Xiahouyuan to lead his troops to intercept. The two sides fought two battles in the area of ​​Feilin, and Xiahouyuan was finally defeated.

The gap in weapons can affect the entire battle situation by now. Even if the general level is similar or even Cao Jun is higher, facing the opponent's unreasonable Zhentianlei is already a bit overwhelming.

The next month, after Pang De successfully captured Kaifeng, Xu Rong finally led the main force to set off, and went straight to Zhongmou, not giving Cao Cao a chance to divide his troops to regain Kaifeng.

Cao Cao had no choice but to fight. This time, he assembled an army of 60,000 to fight Xu Rong. He wanted to see how powerful the so-called thunder weapon was.

The two sides set up a battle in Putianze. In order to suppress the enemy, Cao Cao moved all the bed crossbows and confronted Xu Rong. However, after the two sides fought, the first thing to bear the brunt was more than 300 stone bullets across the entire battlefield towards this side. Boom.

Even if he had heard of the prestige of the Vulcan Cannon, Cao Cao was shocked speechless when he saw the ultra-long range and power for the first time.

This is the Vulcan Cannon!? Cao Cao watched in disbelief as the thick shield that was about to block the Thunderbolt was blown to pieces by a stone bomb, and the people behind were torn apart by the huge force. On people, whether there is protection or not, it is basically hopeless.

That's right, my lord, dodge quickly! Yu Jin pulled Cao Cao to avoid it for the time being. Although this thing is not accurate, it is precisely because of this that it is scary. No one knows where it will hit.

Cao Cao waved his hand and was about to say it's all right.

Boom~

A stone bullet hit the drum platform not far away, and even the drummer and the drum were torn apart, and blood flew all over the sky.

Walk!

As Cao Cao said, he jumped out of the cart first, and then continued to wait and see. Under the cover of the opponent's Vulcan cannon, the front army began to move forward. Cao Cao did not immediately give the order to release arrows. Just now I let the bed crossbow shoot arrows. The bed crossbow has a range of more than 200 steps. At this moment, when the Guan Zhong army is within the range of 100 steps and then shoots, the Guan Zhong army is caught off guard. Although the power is not as powerful as the Vulcan cannon, it can still carry the shield. People penetrate together.

More than 300 bed crossbows came down in one round, indeed causing great damage, and the crossbowmen in the front row immediately fired arrows to kill them.

But the loading speed of the bed crossbow is much slower than that of the Vulcan cannon, and before the second batch of crossbows break through the air, the Thunder God crossbows in the enemy's formation also start to show their power. The crossbow arrow suddenly exploded and fell towards Cao Jun.

Immediately afterwards, a series of thunderclaps resounded throughout the battlefield. Even though Cao Jun had spread out his formation in order to defend against the enemy, it was not the dense formation before, but the troops were still demoralized by the bombing.

kill!

With an order, Guan Zhong's army began to charge, and Cao Jun's morale had already been broken by the bombing. How could he stop the opponent's charge at this moment.

The front army began to be defeated, and the central army also appeared in chaos.

Cao Cao stood on the top of the chariot and looked again, just as he saw that Xu Rong sent two more troops to outflank the left and right flanks. Although Cao's army still had a rear army that had never participated in the battle, their morale was not bad, but when the front army was completely defeated, If the rear army goes forward at this time, it is very likely that they will be disrupted by the defeated army of their own front army.

Pass my military order, the rear army retreats ten miles to form an formation! Cao Cao had no choice but to order the rear army to withdraw first to ensure that there was power to fight back.

Under the command of Cao Cao, the rear army was finally in order. When the Guan Zhong army chased here, they were exhausted. Cao Cao was about to give the order to attack, but he heard the sound of gold ringing from the opposite side, and the Guan Zhong army was like a tide. Withdrew, this scene of advancing and retreating made Cao Cao a little shocked.

The Guanzhong Army relied not only on sharp weapons, but also was well-trained. Only the elite Cao Jun could do such a uniform advance and retreat, and the size of the Guanzhong Army in front of them was obviously not elite.

Cao Cao was a little helpless, and finally gave up the idea of ​​pursuing, and ordered to pack up the defeated army and return to camp.

Xu Rong was the one who defeated himself and Sun Jian in a row back then. Over the years, as one of Lu Bu's generals, he has been in charge of commanding one side, and his military insight on the battlefield is really terrifying.

It is not easy for such a commander to defeat him.

Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat to Zhongmu. However, since Xu Rong sent troops, he obviously had no intention of giving up after a single battle. After resting overnight, he set off again early the next morning and came directly to Zhongmu.

Facing the Vulcan Cannon of the Guanzhong Army, defending the city is really not a good choice, but in a frontal battle, it is the Thunder God Crossbow and the Thunderbolt, Cao Cao feels that the odds of winning are not too great.

Seeing that Xu Rong had already reached the city, Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to lead his army to wait for an opportunity to attack from the flanks. It would be best if he could destroy the opponent's Vulcan cannon.

It's a pity that Xu Rong obviously wouldn't give Cao Cao this chance. Three hundred Vulcan cannons kept bombarding Zhongmu, but Xu Rong put the most elite troops around the cannon array. Cao Chun was hit head-on as soon as he appeared. The loss was heavy, and I had no choice but to withdraw...
