The private soldiers of the famous family were besieging Chen Gong's baggage train. Facing the cavalry attacking from behind, they were almost defenseless.
Their training is not bad, and their equipment is also very sophisticated, but on the battlefield, they are still unable to achieve such a superb skill of switching from the rear team to the front team in a short period of time.
It should be said that it cannot be done in a short time.
When a forced formation change occurs, chaos inevitably occurs.
Then the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with four hundred horse-armored cavalry as arrows fiercely charged into the rear formation of the family's private soldiers.
As we all know, the troops in the rear formation are usually the ones with the weakest combat effectiveness, and they are mostly composed of archers and crossbowmen.
Facing the cavalry charge, they collapsed without any suspense.
The rout dispersed the remaining troops, causing more troops to fall into chaos.
The Bingzhou wolf cavalry has been fighting with the grassland tribes all year round. They are skilled and cooperate with each other tacitly. Under the command of Lu Bu, who has excellent command of cavalry, they constantly drive the broken troops to attack the formation, seize the chaotic small formation and rush in directly.
In just over a quarter of an hour, the military formation composed of tens of thousands of private soldiers fell into a state of complete collapse.
When the infantry loses its formation and turns its back to the cavalry to escape, even the most elite soldiers will die.
After easily breaking through several military formations, Lu Bu, whose chin was about to reach the sky, left the pursuit of the defeated troops to Zhang Liao and others, and he rode his horse to the front of Chen Gong, "Are you under Cao Mengde's command?"
Chen Gong stepped forward and saluted, "I am a member of Duke Cao's command. Please come to Chen Gong. Thank you general for your help."
In the novel, they cooperated with each other, stabbed Cao Cao in the back, and almost killed Cao Cao... Cao Mengde, a pair of good friends, but at this time they worked together for Cao Cao.
"Um."
Lu Bu accepted the gift stabbingly, and then said slowly, "I came to help Cao Mengde on the orders of my adoptive father. Since you are Cao Mengde's subordinate, it is natural to help you."
'Isn't it just that I have recognized a good father? There is nothing to be arrogant about.'
Chen Gong, who was secretly slandering and jealous, boasted about Lu Bu's martial arts, and then turned to the main topic: "General, I have a great contribution to give to the general. I wonder if the general will accept it?"
Lu Bu looked at him doubtfully and said, "Tell me."
"The powerful aristocratic families in the land of Yanyu have raised an army to besiege Duke Cao. We can borrow their flags, armor and customs defense letters to pretend that the soldiers of the aristocratic families have entered Xuzhou territory."
Chen Gong's mind was spinning very quickly. After seeing the overwhelming defeat, he immediately thought of a fighter opportunity. "Then, when the Xuzhou soldiers are unprepared, we can take advantage of the situation and rush out to clear up the Xuzhou incident in one battle."
Lu Bu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Naturally, he had to complete the work assigned to him by his adoptive father.
However, the Bingzhou soldiers under his command were so elite that he would feel bad if they lost even one of them.
After all, it is very difficult to supplement.
If we continue to fight in the Yanyuxu land, even if we win, we will probably have to break our muscles and bones.
You must know that excellent fighters like today are not encountered every day.
If Bingzhou Langqi loses too much by then, he may lose his weight in the adoptive father's heart.
After all, even if you are a hawk dog, you must have sharp teeth and steel claws.
After some thought, he decided to adopt Chen Gong's strategy, thinking that this was a good way to reduce his losses.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the troops on both sides set off quickly and headed straight for Xuzhou.
Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, has been in a good mood recently.
He used the strategy of not driving Mi Zhu to persuade the powerful families in Yanyu to send troops to attack Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was caught off guard and was severely defeated. At this time, he was hiding in the camp and was unable to escape. He was short of food and grass supplies and was in trouble for a few days.
Originally, those powerful families were not easy to talk to, but what Cao Cao did in Yingchuan County scared so many people.
This is called "the right person has many helpers, but the wrong person has few helpers".
As for the National Preceptor behind Cao Mengde... forget it, wait until the Imperial Preceptor arrives.
Now that we know that the National Master is too powerful to deal with, we simply don’t think about it.
The worst that can happen is that when the imperial master comes, he will bear the thorn and plead guilty.
After all, at his age, the Imperial Master would respect the elderly and care for the young, so maybe he would be given a chance.
After all, I am old and reasonable!
While he was pouring himself a drink, his subordinate Cao Xing came over and reported, "Master Fu, a grain transport team sent by Yanzhou Liu Xu, He Sun and others has arrived outside the city."
"Food team?"
Tao Qian, who was a little blushing after drinking, was confused and said, "I am not short of food in Xuzhou."
Cao Xing paused and explained, "Master Fu, they are delivering food to the Allied Forces of the Aristocratic Family. They said they wanted to go into the city to rest as it was getting late."
At this time, Mi Zhu, with Xuzhou soldiers and horses, was surrounding and monitoring Cao Cao's troops with the Allied Forces of the Aristocratic Family.
Sun Qian escorted the military supplies to the front line, and Chen Deng served as an envoy to discuss the follow-up strategy with the Allied Forces of the Aristocratic Family.
There was not even a counselor beside Tao Qian.
Tao Qian, who was a little drunk, just casually asked, "Is there any hindrance to the quarantine?"
"There are all the customs and defense letters and flags."
"Yes." Tao Qian waved his hand, "Then let them rest in the city. After all, they are all friends who came to help me in Xuzhou."
"Here~~~"
Chen Gong, who was bold and careful, successfully deceived the defenders and entered Xuzhou City with his troops.
However, despite entering the city, Chen Gong did not directly attack.
Because he knew very well that there were at least thousands of county soldiers in Xuzhou City at this time, and these grain transport soldiers he brought with him would definitely not be able to defeat them.
So he waited until midnight.
Several sergeants staggered to the city gate with wine, wine and mutton, and invited the Xuzhou army guarding the city gate to drink.
At this time, Cao Cao's army was besieged dozens of miles away, and the defenders inevitably slackened off. After some excuses, they quickly started eating and drinking.
After all, in these days, only powerful families could afford to eat mutton and drink rice wine.
The meat and wine are all filled with ingredients.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of sergeants rushed to the top of the city, turning torches toward the dark place outside as agreed.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and the city gate was quickly opened.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Song Xian led a group of cavalry to check inside first. After a short while, he rode back to Lu Bu's side outside the city. "General, it's ready."
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes widened and he waved the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, "Enter the city!"
Tao Qian, who was drunk and lying on the bed having a sweet dream, was forcefully woken up by the concubine beside him.
Tao Qian, who felt unhappy, raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
Just when he was about to yell and curse, he heard loud shouts of murder outside.
Tao Qian was suddenly frightened, and all the alcohol he drank turned into sweat and flowed out.
What a disaster!
Tao Qian pulled off his robe and put it on his body, and hurried out with bare feet.
General Cao Bao arrived with a group of sergeants. When he saw Tao Qian, he shouted urgently, 'Master Fu, something is wrong! The group of people who entered the city during the day are spies of the Cao thief!'
When Tao Qian heard this, he immediately shook his body, then beat his feet and chest, "Drinking will cause trouble~~~"
If he hadn't been drinking, he wouldn't have let people into the city so easily.
At that time, all I had to do was send someone to investigate carefully... Alas, it's too late to say anything now.
"Go quickly!"
Although Tao Qian was old, he still had some brains. He knew that staying in the city at this time would mean death, so he hurriedly left the governor's mansion and prepared to run out of the city.
Then, I met a group of Bingzhou Wolf Riders on the street.
There were many torches held on both sides, and the opposite side could be seen clearly under the light of the fire.
Zhang Liao, who was leading the team, saw a group of men dressed as soldiers surrounding a disheveled old man, and immediately ordered an assault.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, we will fight if we see it!
Facing the elite cavalry, Cao Bao bravely stepped forward to fight.
But after just one confrontation, Zhang Liao shot him to death.
He didn't wait for Zhang Fei's spear of destiny, but was killed by Zhang Liao.
But dying by Zhang Liao's gun is not bad, at least he didn't die at the hands of an unknown person.
The morale of the soldiers who lost their commander immediately dropped, and their fighting will also dropped accordingly.
Faced with the fierce attack of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, they collapsed and then completely collapsed.
It stands to reason that the narrow streets are not suitable for cavalry attacks, but Zhang Liao is armed with horse-armored and heavy-armored cavalry, and their terrifying impact is too shocking.
However, the soldiers guarding Tao Qian used the Huanshou Sword as their main weapon, so they could not carry it if they lacked long spears.
"Don't kill me, I am Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou~~~"
Seeing that he couldn't run away, Tao Qian collapsed to the ground and shouted, "I am willing to surrender~~~"
Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this.
He hurriedly stopped the pursuit of his troops and ordered Tao Qian to be captured.
"Mr. Tao." Zhang Liao looked at Tao Qian who was being dragged over with a smile, "Please also ask Mr. Tao to come forward and order everyone to stop resisting."
This is the reason why Zhang Liao did not kill the old man.
Although the main force of Xuzhou soldiers were outside to surround Cao Cao, there were still thousands of county soldiers left in the city.
Even if these soldiers and horses were subjected to night attacks and surprise attacks, they were still able to defend themselves everywhere and resist. This shows the great martial arts of the Han Dynasty.
These were just county soldiers, but the frontier soldiers were even more powerful.
For an uprising of the scale and strength of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it could have changed the world at the end of any dynasty except the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that it happened in the late Han Dynasty when martial arts was strong.
However, when Tao Qian personally came forward and persuaded everyone to surrender, the defenders' will to resist also collapsed.
By dawn, everything was over and the city gradually returned to calm.
But the battle is over, but more things have just begun.
Many families in the city suffered from bloodshed, such as the Mi family, Chen family, etc., their homes were confiscated.
The property was looted and the people were taken away and imprisoned.
"General."
Hou Cheng, with a strange smile on his face, ran over and saluted Lu Bu, "Brothers have found a good gift for the general."
"Um?"
Lu Bu, who looked proud, glanced at him and said, "Say."
"She is the sister of Mi Zhu from the Mi family, her name is Zhen. She is truly a beautiful woman with a beautiful country."
Lu Bu's heart moved slightly, "Bring it here."
When Mi Zhen was brought to Lu Bu, Lu Bu was also slightly moved.
It’s really a national color.
What Li Yunze said before came to mind: 'Work hard, and my father will marry you a eldest mother next year.'
"Serve well and don't be negligent."
Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "After settling down, send someone to escort him to Luoyang City and hand him over to his adoptive father."
Liu Bei, who was far away in Chang'an City, suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, looked up at the dark cloudy sky, and muttered to himself, "The weather has changed."
