Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

In Cao Ying, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu sat together to discuss the next step.

Now Cao Cao has two great advisers, Xun Yu is like Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty, sitting in the rear for him, allocating food, grass and supplies, while Cheng Yu often goes out with the army and advises him.

It's not that there are no other advisers available, but since Cao Cao's abdication, many advisers have gone to him. Chen Gong, who was originally his right-hand man, went to Liu Bei, which made Cao Cao feel depressed for a long time.

"Wen Qian doesn't know if he has defeated Duyang at this moment." Cao Cao looked at the map Wei Kai gave him. As long as this Duyang is taken down, no matter how tough Ma Chao is, the battle is over. He only needs to trap this scroll. counties, they can drive straight into the hinterland of Nanyang.

According to what Wei Kai said, they still have a large number of support staff. As long as they pass Ma Chao's hurdle, Nanyang will be able to take it easy, and when the time comes to attack Gao Shun with Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the battle will be won.

Not only took Nanyang lightly, but also gave Sun Ce and Liu Biao a favor. If the two sides still argue with themselves, they should secretly win over one side and attack the other side, so as to provoke both sides to fight.

"It depends on how big the defenders of Duyang are." Cheng Yu groped his beard and said with a smile, "It is said that only 3,000 people were left in Duyang to guard the city. With Wen Qian's ability, the city can be broken tonight."

Three thousand people guarding the city is actually not a small number, but they are happy to fight and are good at fighting, plus they can be taken by surprise, even if they can't take Duyang tonight, they can still use Duyang to lure Ma Chao out.

Cao Cao nodded, as if thinking of something, he suddenly smiled.

"My lord, why are you laughing?" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"Zhongde, you said that the horse was in a hurry when he saw Duyang, has he already left the city?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Cheng Yu nodded: "Just knowing that there is an ambush, Ma Chao must not lose this Duyang. According to his temperament, he will probably lead the most elite soldiers to help Duyang!"

"In this way, I let Zihe and Zhongkang lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to ambush. Do you think his elite can stop the tiger and leopard cavalry?" Cao Cao smiled while stroked his beard.

The tiger and leopard riders are the elite trained by Cao Cao. There are at least ten generals in the army. They are equipped with top-notch equipment and even horse armor. He believes that even the elite team led by Ma Chao is by no means a tiger or leopard. Riding an opponent, let alone in the case of a surprise attack.

Cheng Yu nodded and was about to say something when he heard a commotion outside the camp.

"Why the noise?" Cao Cao frowned slightly.

"My lord!" Seeing Xiahou Dun stepping in quickly, without saying a word, seeing Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, he stepped forward to pull them up and left!

"Yuan Rang, what happened!?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun in confusion.

"Where is the Cao thief, why don't you take your life quickly!?" Before Xiahou Dun could explain, a familiar loud voice came, followed by a spear being thrown over, directly piercing Cao Cao's handsome tent. Xiahoudun led them out first, but was injured by the spear when they failed to keep them together.

Cao Cao looked forward subconsciously, and his scalp went numb.

In sight, Ma Chao rode his horse and held a gun, running back and forth among Cao's troops. Behind him, the soldiers of the trapped camp followed Ma Chao and rushed left and right.

Along the way, Cao Jun rushed forward one after another, but where the trapped camp passed, Cao Jun was like paper, and would collapse at the touch of a touch.

Ma Chao rode his horse and rushed to the front, stabbing out a long spear from time to time to pick and kill a general of Cao Jun's horse.

Cao Cao was a little confused, how could Ma Chao be here? Shouldn't he go to save Du Yang first? What is running here? Even if he defeats the main battalion, if Duyang is gone, his retreat will be cut off, crazy! ?

All kinds of doubts flashed in Cao Cao's mind, but seeing Ma Chao's ferocity, Cao Cao didn't dare to stay here for long, and immediately took Cheng Yu away in a hurry.

Ma Chao broke through the siege and rushed into Cao Cao's tent first, but Cao Cao was not seen. With a violent roar, he tore open the tent and rushed out. He overturned a brazier and dropped it on the tent, and the fire immediately ignited.

Over there, Cao Ren had already commanded the archers to shoot arrows at the trapped camp. The soldiers of the trapped camp continued to fight with their arm shields covering their faces, but there were more and more Cao troops around. Ma Chao led the soldiers of the trapped camp to kill each other. , but failed to find Cao Cao.

A soldier in the camp who was fighting was hooked to his leg with a long dagger. Before he could struggle, his ankle was cut off. He fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and left the team.

No matter how amazing the defensive power of the rhinoceros armor is, it cannot withstand such a cut.

The same scene happens from time to time, no matter how elite the camp is, there will be fewer people after all, and if it rushes into tens of thousands of people, there will still be casualties after all.

After killing back and forth, Ma Chao also noticed this, knowing that it would be impossible to kill Cao Cao tonight, so he immediately greeted him and killed Cao Jun with the trapped camp.

It was not until Ma Chao withdrew to Juan County that Cao Cao was relieved.

In the battle tonight, Cao Jun suffered heavy losses. He retreated after being plowed by Ma Chao like sweeping holes in the plow court. This was unbelievable before.

There were countless casualties among the soldiers in the battalion, but unlike last time, this time the opponent also suffered casualties.

"Look, my lord." Cao Ren asked someone to drag a mutilated corpse over. Seeing Cao Cao's brows slightly frowned, he said helplessly, "These people are like dead men, they can't catch anyone alive."

Cao Cao nodded, and came to the corpse, and found that the legs, hands and head of the corpse had been chopped off, and the leather armor on his body was also tattered, but not completely destroyed.

A little surprised: "What is this armor made of, it is so tough?"

Cao Ren shook his head, saying that he had never seen it before, and ordinary cowhide armor was not so tough even with two layers.

This defense is probably not as good as scale armor.

"This is rhinoceros skin. There are ferocious beasts that occasionally appear in Jingnan, Jiangdong, and southern Yizhou. After the skin is peeled off, the leather armor made can be invulnerable. If these thousands of people are equipped with this kind of armor, it will not be enough to be so powerful. That's strange." Cheng Yu had seen this thing before, and looked at Cao Cao after comparing for a while.

Cao Cao drew out his sword and stabbed down, but his sword, which cuts iron like mud, could not be cut completely.

"It's a pity!" Looking at the dilapidated leather armor, this thing is considered useless, even if it is taken off, no one can wear it, and then he said: "Only this armor can't do this. Look at these soldiers. , fighting to the death, no one is intact, this is the most terrifying."

If only the equipment is strong, it is impossible to cause such a large number of casualties. Each of these soldiers has an extremely firm will.

"My lord, there is one more thing, look at this!" Cao Ren took an undamaged crossbow machine from his subordinates, handed it to Cao Cao, and said, "I saw that these people were besieged and destroyed it as soon as possible. This is the last general who cut off a person's arm before taking this thing from him."

Cao Cao took it over and looked at it. It was obviously a crossbow. It was not difficult to tell, but...

Cao Cao thought for a while, then suddenly raised his crossbow, aimed at the corpse of the trapped soldier, and quickly pulled it after finding the mechanism.

Puff puff puff~

The crossbow box never shot empty, and Cao Cao shot four arrows in a row before finishing shooting.

"Liannu?" Cheng Yu looked at the crossbow machine with a frown, and exclaimed, "No wonder this army has only a thousand people, but it can create several times the momentum."

Every time the trapped camp appears, it must be shot with crossbow arrows. Unexpectedly, it will cause great damage, and people will fall in pieces. It feels like thousands of archers are shooting arrows, but how does this continuous crossbow work? of?

Cao Cao silently picked up the crossbow arrow from the corpse. It was a short arrow, less than three inches long, made of iron, and much smaller than ordinary arrow clusters.

Someone brought an arrow, broke it in half and tried to put it into the crossbow, but it couldn't fit at all.

"There are thousands of this kind of crossbow? This crossbow has to be specially made?" Cao Ren was a little surprised. How much work would it take? Isn't it a waste?

"I have heard for a long time that Lu Bu summoned famous craftsmen from all over the world to enter Chang'an. It seems that it is not useless for him to value craftsmen." Cao Cao weighed the crossbows, but he didn't know how many such crossbows the opponent had. Cao Jun has suffered so much, if there are more... I can't imagine.

If this thing can be used like an ordinary bow and arrow, as long as there are enough crossbow arrows, three thousand people will be enough to defend this county.

Will there be a large number of Liannu in Duyang?

Cao Cao shook his head, not to mention the crossbow, it is very difficult to build a large number of this crossbow alone.

Ma Chao has been under pressure since the beginning of the fight, and now it seems that it is not without reason, Cao Cao is now worried about his tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Bring Wei Kai, and keep this team at all costs!" Cao Cao felt that it was too dangerous for the tiger and leopard cavalry to continue to exist. Just like tonight, Ma Chao only brought a thousand people, and he almost gave himself up It's over, we must try to keep this team forever, otherwise in the future when we fight with Lu Bu, the camp will be useless.

Of course, it is impossible to have too many such elites in the world, so Cao Cao made up his mind to take this elite team down.

After Wei Kai was rewarded with a shot by Ma Chao, he stayed in Ye County to recover from his injuries. Although Du Yang hadn't been captured yet, it was time to think about the future.

"Here!"

On the other hand, after Ma Chao returned to the city, he counted the battle damage. In the battle tonight, more than 70 soldiers who fell into the camp were lost. It doesn't sound like a lot of people, but this is the first time that the camp has suffered such a large number of casualties since it became an army, and it was still in its own hands.

The feeling of heartache made Ma Chao truly experience the ruthlessness of war for the first time. After all, the enemies who died before were all enemies, but this time, it was his closest friend, Pao Ze.

An inexplicable pressure appeared in Ma Chao's heart, and he didn't dare to command indiscriminately.

The deputy general rushed to Ma Chao's side and asked, "General, how are you doing?"

"I failed to kill Cao thief, but his barracks are in chaos..." Ma Chao hesitated, looked at the lieutenant general and said, "Call all the soldiers and abandon the city tonight. After rescue Duyang, I will defend Duyang to the death!"

Between Juan County and Duyang, Duyang is obviously more important. The battle tonight also made Ma Chao put down his arrogance. just fine.

"Here!" The lieutenant general looked at Ma Chao, feeling as if he had suddenly changed himself, and now he and Ma Chao assembled the army, burned the excess supplies, and went out of the city to help...
