Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 76 Cao Ren
Hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu couldn't help being taken aback, "Gongtai, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Gong said slowly, "Just now, there was news from Mount Tai that Cao Mengde had sent Cao Ren to lead [-] troops to rush over to help Juancheng."

Hearing this news, Lv Bu was taken aback immediately, "Gongtai, so if we attack the city overnight, we must take Juancheng before Cao Ren arrives."

Chen Gong shook his head and smiled slightly, "Marquis Wen, originally I was still worried about how to capture Juancheng. Since the multifunctional siege vehicles are not afraid of fire, there is nothing to worry about."

At this point, Chen Gong paused and sneered.

"Since Juancheng can be captured easily, then we are not in a hurry. We might as well take this opportunity to find a way to eliminate Cao Ren as a soldier and weaken Cao Mengde's strength."

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and when he was about to speak, Xu Si cupped his hands forward and said with a smile.

"Marquis Wen, Cao Ren's [-] soldiers will spare no effort to rush to help Juancheng as soon as possible. Even if they come, the soldiers will be exhausted.

As long as our army sees the right time, we will definitely be able to wipe out this army. "

Lu Bu nodded, "But, if Cao Mengde comes, how should our army respond?"

Chen Gong said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, since the multifunctional siege vehicles are not afraid of fire, wouldn't it be easy for our army to capture the city?"

Xu Si nodded, "Besides, our army can also pretend to be Cao Ren's troops and cheat the city gate, maybe it will succeed."

……

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, there are dull footsteps on the official road leading to Juancheng.

Cao Ren led [-] soldiers and horses, like a long dragon, was hurrying along the official road.

Cao Ren, styled Zixiao, was born in Qiao, Peiguo, Cao Cao's younger brother, and was highly valued.

Cao Ren is only 27 years old this year, and he is at the peak of his life, both physically and mentally.

This time he was ordered to lead troops to assist Juancheng, which was of great importance. Cao Ren dared not neglect, and marched all the way in a hurry, not daring to slow down.

In order to hurry, everyone only rested for two hours last night, and then set off again overnight.

Cao Ren was also exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, trying to reach Juancheng earlier.

In a short period of time, Lu Bu has already conquered two cities. If Juancheng is lost again, Cao Jun will have no foothold in Yanzhou.

More importantly, Cao Ren knew very well that there were too many people's homes in Juancheng, and if something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, after traveling all night, according to Cao Ren's estimate, he originally planned to arrive at Juancheng at night, but now he should be able to arrive half a day earlier, that is, at noon.

The sun gradually rose and shone on everyone's bodies. It was so warm that these exhausted soldiers almost cried out in comfort.

After rushing all night and not having a good rest last night, everyone was already at the end of their strength, and they just gritted their teeth and persisted.

Some soldiers couldn't hold on any longer. While walking, they squinted their eyes and began to doze off. They didn't wake up until they bumped into their comrades in front of them.

Lieutenant General Shi Huan saw that the soldiers were exhausted, so he rushed to Cao Ren's side and asked in a low voice.

"General Cao, there is a forest ahead, how about giving everyone a rest?"

Hearing this, Cao Ren frowned and wanted to refuse, but seeing the dim eyes of the soldiers around him, he sighed secretly and waved his hand.

"That's fine, when we get to the edge of the woods ahead, let everyone rest for a quarter of an hour before we continue on our way."

When the soldiers heard the news, they cheered like a festival.

Everyone is so tired, even if it takes a quarter of an hour to rest, you can still take a nap!

Cao Ren led the army to the edge of the woods and set up a guard around him. Then he jumped off his horse and leaned against a tree to sleep.

The soldiers had been relying on their two legs all the way, and when they stopped at this moment, they didn't care what was on the ground, and just lay on the ground, screaming loudly for comfort.

In just a moment, there were continuous snoring sounds among the soldiers.

Hearing the snoring around him, Cao Ren opened his eyes, looked around, and frowned.

Suddenly, Cao Ren's eyes widened sharply and he listened carefully. After a while, his face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly and roared.

"Get up, there are cavalry!"

Shi Huan, who was dozing off beside him, was also awakened by the sound, and subconsciously jumped up, "General Cao, what's wrong?"

In fact, Cao Ren didn't need to answer, because when Shi Huan raised his head, he had already seen two teams of cavalry rushing down from the opposite slope.

Seeing the cavalry rushing down from the hillside, Cao Ren roared fiercely and jumped on the horse beside him.

"Get up and meet the enemy."

But it was too late, there was a small hill opposite where everyone was relaxing, and Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian were hiding behind the hill.

Bingzhou iron cavalry charged with all their strength, and within a moment, they had already rushed to the periphery of Cao Jun's camp.

Cao Jun's soldiers, who had been awakened, hurriedly picked up their weapons and stepped forward to fight.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

This time, facing the unprepared Cao army, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian were too lazy to play tricks and directly led the Bingzhou cavalry to charge.

The soldiers of Cao Jun standing in the front, under the violent impact, were knocked into the air like autumn leaves, and fell to the ground screaming.

The Cao soldiers who escaped the impact of the horses could not escape the sword in the hands of the Bingzhou iron cavalry.

The big knife shone dazzlingly cold in the sun, and every time it fell, there would be screams from Cao Jun soldiers.

Cao Ren was attacked by surprise, and the sleepiness had long since disappeared. Now he was sweating and screaming crazily.

"Get up and fight!"

While speaking, Cao Ren and Shi Huan brandished their weapons respectively and charged towards the charging enemy.

At this time, there were bursts of shouts from the woods behind him.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Hearing this voice, Cao Ren was so frightened that his mind was split. He hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw countless soldiers of Lu Bu's army rushing out of the woods.

Cao Jun's soldiers, who were already exhausted to the extreme, were already panicked after being attacked by the Bingzhou iron cavalry. Now they heard that someone was coming from behind, and they were in chaos.

Cao Ren's eyes were red, and he roared continuously, brandishing the spear in his hand, and rushed towards the Bingzhou iron cavalry.

Zhang Liao, who rushed to the front, was overjoyed and laughed when he saw the enemy general coming.

"Good come!"

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Liao's war horse turned around and rushed towards Cao Ren.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Cao Ren watched Zhang Liao rushing towards him, and roared, "You little thief dares to sneak attack, I want your life."

With a wave of the spear in his hand, he stabbed towards Zhang Liao's throat like lightning.
