Chapter 168: Speed ??of life and death, fight to the death!
Xia Pi and Si River surround it.
The Si River flows from north to south and flows into the Huai River.
At this time, Lu Bu led thousands of infantry and cavalry to break through the chaos and ran south along the Si River. They had no time to cross the river, and it took too much time to cross the river, so they could only distance south first.
The soldiers and horses were gathering, and the armor sounded.
At this time, Gao Shun came on a horse and frowned and said, "Lord, the whistle cavalry is coming to report. Cao Cao has discovered the suspicious soldiers and is leading his army to chase us."
"What? So fast?" Lu Bu frowned.
Logically speaking, Cao Cao went from consolidating his army to hunt down the suspect soldiers. When he came to the leadership, it was probably dawn. How could he lead the army so quickly?
"How many people have come?" Lu Bu said in a panic.
"I don't know, but according to the torch speculation, there may be no less than 10,000 people. Moreover, the scout saw Liu Bei's flag and wanted to come to Liu Bei with Cao Cao." Gao Shun replied.
"Liu Bei?" Lu Bu frowned. He had known that he would have killed Liu Bei last year. How could he have had trouble today? After all, this forced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command really made him difficult.
"Where is the military advisor, where is the military advisor?" Lu Bu glanced around, but no Chen Gong was seen.
"Lord, I didn't see Mr. Gongtai when I left the city. I'm afraid he would not want to go south to Jingzhou." The other generals did not pay attention, but Gao Shun replied.
"Forget it, he probably stayed in Xia Pi." Lu Bu shook his sleeves angrily. Chen Gong had told him before that he would not go to Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't come out.
"Boping, now Cao Cao is chasing him and he will probably come soon. What do you think our army should do?" Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and asked.
"Lord, there are another thirty miles ahead of us. If our army continues to flee, Cao Cao will definitely chase our army to Shuhe and kill them all."
"At present, we can only leave a brave man to lead the army to hide behind this mound. When Cao Cao leads his troops to come, he will raise fire to fight out, delay the enemy's pace as much as possible, and buy time for our army to cross the river."
Gao Shun's tough and solemn face was filled with solemnity.
Lu Bu nodded. It really took a long time to cross the Shu River. Thinking of this, he raised his halberd and shouted: "Song Xian, let you lead a thousand people to lie on the mounds of the two places. When the enemy arrives, raise fire and kill them, and disrupt their positions."
"No!" Song Xian shouted in response.
"Wei Xu, immediately lead a hundred cavalry to Shushui, collect ships along the way, and join forces to cross the river." Lu Bu shouted again.
"No!" Wei Xu drove his horse away.
Lu Bu looked behind him, then looked at the families in the formation, and immediately raised his halberd and shouted: "Send the order, the three armies will accelerate their march."
…………
After a long time, Cao Cao led his army to come.
Song Xian shouted loudly and ran out from both sides. Looking at the torches raised from all directions, coupled with the sound of fighting in the mountains and fields, it really made Cao's army feel disturbed.
Cao Cao glanced at the eyes and immediately pulled out the Yitian Sword and shouted angrily: "Lu Bu was defeated, because of the lack of climate, this must be Lu Bu's suspicious army, and the soldiers of the three armies will follow me to kill!"
After saying that, Cao Cao took the lead.
Of course, Dian Wei led the tiger to protect his left and right.
Seeing that Cao Cao was not afraid, the generals and soldiers under his command were no longer panic and rushed over. More than a thousand Lu troops only persisted for two quarters of an hour before most of them died tragically, and the rest surrendered.
…………
It was a little brighter, beside Shuhe River.
Wei Xu collected only a hundred ships upstream and downstream, and arranged them in three rows, putting wooden boards on them, and putting wooden stakes on both sides, barely building two floating bridges.
Lu Bu looked at the back from time to time, his face anxious. At this time, the floating bridge was just completed. Lu Bu immediately supported Diao Chan and led the Yan family across the river, which made the generals under his command dissatisfied.
The ship swayed like walking on thin ice.
The speed of crossing the river was not very fast, especially some generals passed by their families first, and these women and children were even slower. Looking at this scene, Lu Bu frowned: "Go quickly, if you can't get through, let the soldiers pass first."
Several generals frowned and looked at Lu Bu, a little dissatisfied. They spat in a low voice, and then helped their families to speed up across the river, fearing that Lu Bu would not let them pass.
At this time, the whistle cavalry rushed over and shouted: "Lord, Cao Cao's army has arrived ten miles away, and it has arrived in the blink of an eye."
"What, so fast?" Lu Bu showed fierce expression, then raised his halberd and shouted: "Tell me that women and children will cross the river later, and the trapped camp will cross the river first, and those who violate the violation will be killed."
The words fell, and those who had not crossed the river showed despair.
"Cheng Lian, quickly lead five hundred wolf cavalry to fight Cao Cao. The rest of them lined up on the river bank and prepared to face the enemy." Lu Bu had already rushed across the north bank of the river in three or two steps and shouted in a deep voice.
"Lord, I..." Cheng Lian looked at him in panic. He would undoubtedly die if he stayed behind and cut off his queen. He also wanted to leave.
"Go quickly!" Lu Bu shouted in surprise.
"No!" Cheng Lian did not dare to disobey Lu Bu, so he immediately turned over and took hundreds of iron cavalry to kill the north.
Looking at Cheng Lian leaving, Lu Bu urged everyone to cross the river again. Fortunately, the soldiers of the camp were moving quickly and trotted along the floating boat to the other side almost the whole way.
At the same time, Cheng Lian led hundreds of cavalry to go against the scene.
After running for only a few miles, I saw dust flying in the distance. Cao Cao's army had arrived. The front was the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao had been in the group in recent years.
Cheng Lian's steel gun trembled, looked at the enemy's formation, and swallowed. He used to feel nothing when he and Lu Bu rushed together, but now he was really a little panicked to charge by himself.
He breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Kill me!"
In front of Cao's army, Xu Chu looked at Cheng Lian who was coming. He was dissatisfied and snorted coldly. He flipped the sword in his hand and then drove away. As he approached, the sword in his hand flew over and killed several people in a row, which was unstoppable.
Cheng Lian looked at him. If Xu Chu was allowed to rush, he would probably drill it out in a short time. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a gun.
At the same time, he shouted violently and drove away his timid meaning: "Don't be rampant, let's see if I take your head."
Xu Chu killed another person, looked at Cheng Lian who was coming, and sneered, "Hey, so brave. If your lord Lu Buwu were afraid of it, as for you..."
Speaking of this, he showed a grim smile on his face and rushed forward with a knife.
As he approached, Cheng Lian stabbed the steel gun.
Xu Chu sneered, turned his head and avoided it. Then his broad palm grabbed the spear that was stabbed in the sky, and at the same time, the big knife in his hand rolled up and headed straight for Cheng Lian from bottom to top.
Cheng Lian was frightened and before he could react, the heavy sword had already slashed on his chest.
Puchi, the big knife broke open his chest, and all kinds of internal organs flowed out, and the blood flowed out. Cheng Lian's eyes were dull, and he slowly lowered his head and looked at the bloody mouth in his chest. He wanted to speak, but all the blood was leaking out.
Thump, Cheng Lian fell off his horse.
"The thief is dead, and you can't surrender quickly." Xu Chu shouted loudly.
The cavalry generals looked at each other and knew that Lu Bu's situation was gone, and many people were willing to surrender for a while.
However, the wolf cavalry was the elite who followed Lu Bu to fight in the east and west, and there were also many dead people, so they couldn't help but fight again.
After a while, we cleared the enemy.
