Chapter 79: Talent is Shining [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The two armies confronted each other fiercely on the battlefield, and the sound of killing filled the field.

Clang——

The lance of a Xiyuan soldier collided with that of his opponent, and then the tip of the lance spun and stabbed the opponent in the face with extreme ferocity.

Cao Cao used his gifted military strategy of listening to the battlefield. His hearing and perception spread out like a tide, reflecting half of the battlefield in his mind in every possible way.

This innate military strategy was used on the battlefield for the first time.

As the military strategy unfolded, Cao Cao entered a special state, and his eyes became as cold as ice.

In battlefield command, there is no compassion, joy or anger, only the calmness of pursuing victory.

In Cao Cao's auditory perception, the details of the battlefield, the strength and weakness of the enemy and our own side, flooded into his consciousness.

This change gave him a splitting headache, but he was extremely clear-headed. He quickly analyzed and filtered out useful information from the complex battlefield.

"Retreat and form a cone formation to wedge into the enemy's right wing to assist the attack!"

Cao Cao issued orders: "Go to the right, send out a team of 300 soldiers, led by Xiao Xiang, and penetrate the arrow formation!"

"Another team from the left..."

Following Cao Cao's orders, war drums beat, conveying the battle message.

The soldiers under his command followed his orders and charged into the enemy camp.

If you look at it from a macro perspective, you will find that the locations where Cao Cao ordered the attacks were all the enemy's weak points.

When Cao's army charges out, they will quickly tear open the enemy's formation, completing the cut and making it impossible for them to respond.

However, Cao Cao's own troops attacked along with the other troops, connecting front and back.

The battlefield is like a chess game.

After Cao's army captured the opponent's "chess piece", its advantage in troops and horses expanded rapidly.

Cao Chun's troops, who attacked from the flank, responded to Cao Cao's main force.

Cao's army established its advantage so quickly and Cao Cao's command was so precise and efficient that it divided the battlefield like a scalpel.

The morning light dews slightly.

Li Ru and Fan Chou, who were watching the battle, were both familiar with military affairs and quickly noticed the changes on the battlefield.

"The location and timing Cao Cao chose to dispatch his troops were impeccable. He managed to divide the battle formation in the space of a cup of tea."

Fan Chou frowned: "It's too fast to handle!"

Li Ru said sternly: "It's not division, but a kind of control. From our position, the several teams he sent out cooperated diagonally and vertically to connect his own side, while our team was blocked and scattered.

He ordered his troops to attack from the direction. Even for us who were watching from the sidelines, we had to wait until he sent his troops to see the subtleties of the battle. How could he have such an accurate command when he was near the chaotic battlefield and had a panoramic view of the battle situation? "

At this time, in the head-on confrontation, Cao's troops were constantly gaining an advantage.

And Lu Bu in the back is approaching the battlefield:
"General Cao, you gave me the city gate earlier. I, Lü Bu, am not a heartless person and I still remember it.

If you lay down your weapons, I will spare your life!"

His voice rang through the battlefield and could still be heard clearly amidst the battle between thousands of troops.

Cao Cao turned to look at Lu Bu, who was more than a hundred feet away, and said to Dian Wei, "Shout out."

"What are you shouting?"

Cao Cao said it once, and Dian Wei repeated it in a thunderous voice: "Flying General Lu Bu, my new and old foster father, the big spear in his hand is designed to stab my foster father."

Cao Cao treated Lu Bu as a joke, and everyone laughed when they heard it.

The strong sarcasm in these words made Lu Bu furious, and a surge of blood and energy rushed out from behind him, condensing into a pillar.

"Cao Mengde, if you dare to insult me, don't blame me for taking your life!"

Lu Bu got on his horse and his strength matched his speed, and he charged straight at Cao Cao.

Lu Bu was a natural horse warrior.

He has an innate ability, which is to use his own martial arts luck, blood and energy, to interact with the horse, thus achieving the unity of man and horse that countless generals dream of!

With the help of the horse's momentum, Lu Bu used his own strength to rise again.

The same is true for horses.

If he had a good horse, his fighting ability would be further improved.

Zhang Huai, who was standing beside Cao Cao, said, "This man has great vitality, not inferior to my disciple Dian Wei. He is an unrivaled warrior!"

Dian Wei was full of fighting spirit.

The sound of the blood and energy surging in his body was like the endless flow of the Yangtze River, and it also gave rise to a martial arts front of blood and energy that was visible to the naked eye.

The halberd in his hand trembled slightly, as if it had life and was eager to fight.

"General, I want to fight Lu Bu!"

"Fighting Lu Bu will wait a while. Let's complete the established strategic goals first."

Cao Cao dismounted and took off his outer robe and cloak. The military uniform and armor he was wearing were exactly the same as those of Cao's troops.

He flashed among the surrounding troops, made a secret plan to attack Chencang, and suddenly disappeared like a drop of water into the sea.

[You used the method of sneaking into Chencang to conceal your own energy. In the midst of thousands of troops, you were like a clay cow entering the sea, with no trace left.]

Thousands of troops were fighting, the situation was chaotic, Cao Cao, wearing the same clothes as his troops, turned around and disappeared. In the distance, the power was surging, and Lu Bu, who wanted to break the enemy's formation, was stunned.

Cao Cao mixed in with the soldiers, and under the cover of the secret attack on Chencang, he was unable to see where Cao Cao was going for a while.

It was a very simple method, but it made Lu Bu's plan to charge into the battle array fall into vain: "Cao Mengde, you are a coward, do you dare to fight..."

"Shang Jun is not here, I will fight you!"

As Lu Bu finished speaking, another voice spread across the battlefield.

Following the voice, a general appeared on horseback. It was Zhang Liao.

Afterwards, the soldiers roared, revealed their tracks from their concealed state, and quickly approached the battlefield from a distance.

"Cao Cao has ambushes? How dare he take so many people out of the city? Don't they want to defend Luoyang anymore?" Fan Chou said in surprise.

The defense of Luoyang city is of paramount importance, so he had previously determined that Cao Cao would at most dispatch four to five thousand men to pursue Cheng Lian.

But first there were Cao Chun's troops, and then Zhang Liao appeared.

Moreover, Zhang Liao has more soldiers and horses behind him than Cao Chun.

Fan Chou was puzzled, but Li Ru was relieved: "You missed a troop, so you think Cao Cao can mobilize 4,000 to 5,000 men at most."

"Although Huangfu Song has gone to the border, he has an elite force under his command that is approaching Luoyang.

Their march was secretive, and you have never been able to grasp their position and numbers. It seems they are here, having been summoned by Cao Cao to join the battle."

Fan Chou suddenly realized: "So you have already made a judgment and asked me to lead the troops here to deal with this team."

"Now that Cao Cao's trump card has been revealed, you should lead your troops to join the battle."

Li Ru smiled: "With the appearance of this team, there will be no more changes in the troops defending Luoyang City. We must win this battle if we can.

City defense is your real purpose."

Li Ru came here in person.

The purpose was to confirm whether Huangfu Song's troops were there, so as to decide which battlefield to focus on and carry out the strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

Compared with the immediate victory, city defense is obviously more important.

"Fan Chou, lead your troops to attack and hold them back."

After Li Ru finished speaking, he took out a bamboo slip.

There were Mohist patterns on the back of the bamboo slip, which were gleaming with light.

Li Ru used his finger as a pen and wrote on the bamboo slips:
"It has been confirmed that Huangfu Song's troops are participating in the battle east of Luoyang, led by Cao Cao. Your Excellency may begin to seize the city's defenses."

The handwriting was imprinted on the bamboo slips, and the patterns on the slips flickered and were transmitted to the other end.

But the tablet subsequently broke and could no longer be used.

Each use will consume a precious Mohist message.

On the other side, Dong Zhuo in the palace looked down at the message with a frown on his face.

He also wrote on the brief:
"Your information is wrong. Huangfu Song's troops have arrived in Luoyang. There are soldiers climbing the city walls at the South Gate and the East Gate. There are a lot of them. Huangfu Song's troops are not with Cao Cao."

At this moment, at the east and south gates of Luoyang City, soldiers were lined up and climbing up to the top of the city walls in rows.

Dong Zhuo had been having people keep an eye on the changes at the city gate, and he was very sure that he was not wrong.

On the other side, Li Ru was also stunned when he saw the handwriting on the second message.

On the battlefield in front of him, there were at least four to five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Liao.

Cao Cao also mobilized nearly ten thousand soldiers tonight, no fewer than their own.

On the battlefield, the number of enemy and our own troops is clear at a glance and cannot be wrong.

The Luoyang city defense is also increasing its troops. Where do the troops come from?

Can Cao Cao really conjure up troops out of thin air?

What exactly went wrong?

Li Ru broke out in a cold sweat.

He prides himself on his intelligence, and what he fears most is encountering situations that he cannot understand.

Why did Cao Cao’s troops increase out of nowhere?

As we all know, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategic plan. Cao Cao was best at using cunning tactics to defeat his enemies and was a master of military strategy.

Li Ru's thoughts raced, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a moment.

Cao Cao's troops in front and Luoyang's defense, which side is fake and which side is real? !
While he was thinking, Fan Chou had already led his troops to the battlefield!

The number of troops deployed by both sides continued to increase, and the war began in full swing.

Li Ru was sweating profusely and lost his ability to accurately judge the situation.

He also didn't notice that after Fan Chou led his troops away, the number of troops and horses in his area decreased and became empty.

Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Zhang Huai, who disappeared from the battlefield, quietly approached his position.

"Sir, you must first kill Dong Zhuo's most trusted strategist." Dian Wei asked in the dark.

"Um…"

Ps: Lü Bu can use both halberd and spear, but not Fang Tian Hua Ji. Please read and vote, thank you~
