Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 97 Hope
For the soldiers of Cao Jun, this is just a battle, and they may win or lose.

But for these refugees, it is a choice between life and death.

If Cao Jun is not defeated and these bandits are driven away, the little hope they have just gained will be shattered and they will become refugees again.

In Puyang, although they can only drink a bowl of bottomless porridge every day, they are still hungry every day.

But seeing a large area of ​​reclaimed land, everyone knows that they have hope!
When the crops in the fields are harvested, it will be their good time.

By then, everyone will no longer have to go hungry and will have their own new home. Everything will be so beautiful.

Although they don't have enough to eat every day and they still have to do heavy work, they also know very well that in this turbulent time, being able to drink a bowl of gruel is already the best effort of their benefactor, Marquis Wen.

Therefore, none of them complained, some were just grateful.

In this piece of land that will be reclaimed, no one speaks ill of Marquis Wen, even jokes are not allowed.

Marquis Wen is their benefactor, a benefactor they will never be able to repay in their lifetime.

This battle is to repay Wen Hou's great kindness, and it is also for their own last hope.

Fight!

A Cao Jun soldier with a big knife in his hand had just chopped down a refugee when he suddenly saw an old man with gray hair rushing from the side.

The old man was hit by a knife, let out a scream, jumped forward suddenly, and actually hugged Cao Jun soldiers.

"Come on, I'm hugging him."

Unexpectedly, Cao Jun's soldier was hugged and tried to push him away. He was so angry that he kept hacking at the old man's back and cursed angrily.

"Go away, old man."

The old man roared in pain, used all his strength to push forward, and the enemy was pushed down.

Cao Jun's soldiers were furious, and kept slashing the old man's back with their knives, "Get out of here, I chopped you off."

"Father, I'll help you."

A strong woman, holding a stone in her hand, ran over from a distance.

Seeing the stone in the woman's hand, Cao Jun's soldier's face changed with fright, and he hurriedly shouted, "Get up and drive away!"

The old man seemed to have never heard of it, and still hugged him tightly with his hands.

Cao Jun's soldiers saw the woman running over and were frightened. "Get up quickly, I beg you, ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, the stone in the woman's hand had already hit his head hard.

"Father, I'll carry you back."

The old man's back was blurred by Cao Jun's soldiers, and he knew that there was no way to save him. Looking at his daughter, he suddenly yelled with all his strength.

"This is the last hope of all our refugees, and it must be kept."

After speaking, the old man tilted his head and did not move again.

This situation is constantly happening on the fierce battlefield.

What the refugees want to protect is not this land, but the last hope in their hearts!

Even if it is to defend with their lives, it will not hesitate!

As the saying goes, those who are stupefied are afraid of being violent, and those who are arrogant are afraid of dying!
Although the 5000 elite Cao soldiers were extremely brave, they finally became timid in the face of this desperate style of play.

More and more Cao Jun soldiers began to retreat, perhaps because they were afraid, or because they were once among the refugees, and they couldn't bear it!

When Cao Ren saw that his elite troops had been repulsed by a group of refugees, he was furious and rushed forward with his guards, trying to drive away these hateful refugees.

These refugees are ordinary people, they don't know martial arts, and they don't have superhuman strength. For a hero like Cao Ren, they can only be slaughtered.

However, the refugees were not intimidated, and rushed towards Cao Ren one by one.

Like a moth to a flame, knowing that it will burn when it encounters a fire, but still refuses to retreat.

Seeing that his subordinates around him were getting fewer and fewer, while the refugees were still pouring in like a tide, Cao Ren couldn't help being shocked.

Suddenly, a guard screamed beside him, causing him to turn his head to look.

Several refugees surrounded the guard. They had no weapons, grabbed the guard with their hands, and bit the guard with their teeth, pushing the guard down to the ground.

Cao Ren's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and chopped down several refugees with his sword.

However, the guard had been scratched and bitten to the point of being blurred, and he seemed unable to live, but his eyes were still full of fear.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Ren leading troops to meet the refugees, he thought that they would be defeated in one blow, so he ignored it and turned his head to observe the movement here.

After all, Lu Bu is the real enemy, and only by getting rid of him can this battle be considered a victory.

But he never thought that the shouts of killing behind him were getting louder and getting closer, which made him feel a little strange, so he hurriedly turned his head to look, and when he saw it clearly, he was suddenly surprised.

Cao Ren's 5000 soldiers and horses were actually retreating.

5000 elite soldiers were repulsed by refugees?
what happened?

Not long after, Cao Ren ran back panting from a distance, "Master, it's bad, those refugees are rushing over, get out of here quickly."

"what?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren in disbelief.

Back then, when facing the Million Yellow Turbans, Cao Ren kept going forward and never said he would back down.

Now, I want to retreat!

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and roared, "You can't retreat, let everyone hold on a little longer, Lu Bu's army will lose!"

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of loud roars from behind.

"Cao Jun is defeated, let's kill him!"

"Catch Cao Mengde and take revenge."

At this time, Cao Jun had completely collapsed, and countless soldiers had no intention of fighting any more and retreated one after another.

Qin Yilu led a group of old and weak soldiers and refugees, roaring continuously, and rushed towards Cao Cao.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Yu said hastily, "My lord, I really can't stop it. You should leave here quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Cao Ren cupped his hands deeply, "My lord, the last general is incompetent and can't stop the refugees, but please punish me later, please leave quickly, my lord, this place is too dangerous."

In order to eliminate Lu Bu, Cao Cao's army was divided into several groups, all of which were fighting against Lu Bu's army, and besides Cao Ren's 5000 soldiers and horses, there were only more than 100 guards left around him.

Moreover, the refugees had already been killed not far away. If they didn't leave, even if they won the previous battle, it would be meaningless.

Cao Cao was able to escape many defeats, so he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. Seeing that he was unable to resist, he heard everyone's persuasion, so he went downhill and sighed.

"let's go."

After Cao Cao's order was conveyed, it was actually equivalent to the failure of this plan.

It can even be said that Cao Jun lost this battle.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao's order was conveyed, Cao's soldiers, who were still fighting fiercely, suddenly panicked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of Lu Bu's army cheered up and began to launch a fierce counterattack.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived, Cao Jun has been defeated, brothers, kill!"
