Chapter 871 Unexpected
Gao Lan shook his head and said, "Reward, the Qin army has no movement after it has set up a camp."
When Sima Yi heard this, his brows frowned even more and paced back and forth on the big tent.
Seeing this, Gao Lan asked in confusion: "Sir, is there anything wrong with it?"
Sima Yi stopped, looked at Gao Lan, and asked, "If you were Lu Bu and under the current situation, what would you do?"
Gao Lan was stunned for a moment, then thought, "The situation is very unfavorable now. There are blockages in front and pursuers behind. You must cross the Luo River as soon as possible and return to Luoyang. Otherwise, you may be surrounded by all the troops on the south bank of the Luo River! If the last general is Lu Bu, you will never waste any time. If there is no other strange plan, you will definitely attack overnight, and you will never be able to do nothing!"
Sima Yi's eyes condensed, and he pointed Gao Lan with his finger, and said, "You are right! You are so right! That's it! If there is no strange plan, you will definitely attack overnight.
But now Lu Bu is still holding his troops without any movement. Do you think this is normal?"
Gao Lan's heart moved and he hurriedly said, "Did Lu Bu have any strange plans?"
Sima Yi said contemptuously: "Lu Bu is a man, what kind of strange plan can he have? It must be the plan made by Zhuge Mengxue!"
Then he said to Gao Lan: "You, immediately send all scouts to the left and right sides of the enemy camp to investigate! In addition, gather the army immediately, I want to attack!"
Gao Lan replied and walked quickly.
Not long after, Sima Yi led tens of thousands of troops out of the camp and marched into the Qin army camp.
Gao Lan immediately looked beside Sima Yi and looked at the situation of the camp ahead. He saw that it was silent in the camp, as if he had not noticed the arrival of his own army.
He couldn't help frowning and said strangely: "Strange thing! Our army was dispatched and the momentum was huge, but the other party did not respond at all?
!”
Sima Yi frowned and said to Gao Lan: "General Gao Lan, send troops to attack the camp immediately!"
Gao Lan responded to the promise and immediately sent five thousand infantry troops to attack the Qin camp.
Five thousand infantry soldiers rushed towards the Qin army camps shouting.
After one hundred steps, the Qin army camp did not react at all. After fifty steps, the Qin army camp still did not respond at all. Only many lights flashed quietly in the camp.
In a blink of an eye, five thousand infantry rushed to the Qin army camp, knocked open the camp gate, and rushed in! However, at this time, there was still no movement in the Qin army camp.
Gao Lan frowned and turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Sir, there is no one in the camp!"
Sima Yi frowned and felt confused in his heart. He speculated that the Qin army's actions during the day must be just a feint of a small army. The main force must have taken advantage of the opportunity when his attention was attracted by the army led by Lu Bu at that time to rush to a certain section of the Luo River to cross the Luo River. Lu Bu's team pretended to retreat during the day to camp, but waited until night, and took advantage of the night to retreat.
Sima Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that Sima Yi would be plotted against by a little woman!"
Gao Lan said anxiously: "Let's chase after you!"
Sima Yi asked back: "Where should we chase after us?"
Gao Lan was stunned and couldn't help looking around, feeling a little at a loss. He could not tell which direction Lu Bu would retreat.
At this moment, the rushing sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
Sima Yi and others couldn't help but look in the sound.
After a while, a scout rushed to Sima Yi, strangled his mount, clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Sir, Lu Bu led his troops to the east!"
Gao Lan's eyes lit up and he immediately said to Sima Yi: "Sir, can you chase me?"
Sima Yi looked thoughtful and said nothing.
Seeing this, Gao Lan couldn't help but feel his heart moved and asked hurriedly: "Is this Lu Bu's suspicious soldier?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said, "No.
But chasing them at this time is impossible to intercept them! Since they are going to cross the Luo River from a certain section of the river in the east, they must return to Luoyang from the east gate!"
He turned his head and looked at a commemorative officer and shouted: "Immediately send all the troops on both sides of the Luo River, and immediately set off to the East Gate of Luoyang to wait for the order!"
The messenger clasped his fists and immediately turned his horse and ran down to pass the messenger.
Sima Yi thought for a moment, and another commissar who was opposite him gave a careful order. The commissar held his fists and agreed, and turned his horse and ran down.
On the other side, Ailang led his army to more than thirty miles east of the pontoon bridge.
Suddenly, Zhuge Mengxue, wearing a white dress, was leading a team of female soldiers waiting by the river bank.
Ailang hit him and asked with a smile: "Mengxue, why are you still here?"
Zhuge Mengxue said lightly: "I'm waiting for my husband."
Ailang couldn't help but feel his heart swayed, as if infinite tenderness was filled with his chest.
Looking at Zhuge Mengxue's clear and gentle eyes, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and grasped her slender hand.
Then he smiled and said, "Let's go."
Zhuge Mengxue nodded.
Then everyone rode into the river and wade through the Luo River.
It turns out that although the surface of this section of the Luo River is very wide, the river water is not deep, and it is just near the horse's belly.
Ailang and others climbed to the north shore, met the army that had crossed the Luo River in advance, and then marched west together, preparing to return to Luoyang from the east gate.
The army marched rapidly in the wilderness. Before we knew it, the night had receded and the sky and the earth became bright.
At this time, a huge city ahead appeared in the field of vision, but there was also a large army of Cao troops in the field of vision.
Ailang frowned and cursed: "Will there be Cao's army here?"
Then he said in surprise: "It seems to be Sima Yi?"
Zhuge Mengxue, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "This Sima Yi is really extraordinary!"
He immediately said to Ailang: "Husband, there is no other choice at this time. He can only defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop before he can return to Luoyang!"
Ailang nodded and said to the female soldiers: "Protect Mengxue, don't move!"
The female soldiers held their fists and agreed.
Ailang raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji and shouted: "Prepare to attack!"
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo! The horn unique to the Qin army, which was like a roar of monsters, sounded loudly, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears, breaking the original silence of the morning.
The cavalry slowly advanced forward, and the infantry followed closely behind. Tens of thousands of troops were arranged into a charge formation as they marched! Ailang turned his head and smiled at Zhuge Mengxue, "Let's take a look at your husband's heroic posture in breaking the formation!"
Zhuge Mengxue's delicate face was red, and her beautiful eyes were looking at Ailang repeatedly.
Ailang laughed loudly and urged the Red Rabbit Horse to run forward.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops continued to approach the Cao army's formation.
Sima Yi shouted loudly: "Prepare for the battle!"
The officers and soldiers of the Cao army shouted with a rainbow of momentum, which was inconsistent with the Qin army's momentum.
Sima Yi saw the Qin army approaching and his momentum was as if he was moving forward like a mountain. He couldn't help but exclaim! He was worried that the current front would be unable to resist the opponent's upcoming attack like a mountain collapse and tsunami, so he urgently ordered other shield players and spearmen to replenish the front line and form a very thick and strong defensive front! The crossbowmen were ready to go, waiting for the Qin army to attack the formation! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The Qin army cavalry in front immediately ran, and the earth trembled for a moment, and the rumbling sound echoed in everyone's ears like thunder! Gao Lan shouted sternly: "Prepare!"
The crossbowman held his breath and stared at the Qin army cavalry rushing forward! Suddenly, the Qin army cavalry rushing towards the rushing range of Cao's crossbow was about to enter the range of Cao's crossbow and ran towards both sides.
This was beyond the expectations of the Cao army officers and soldiers, and everyone felt at a loss.
Immediately, the Cao army saw that the Qin infantry had already crossed their cavalry and rushed up. Tens of thousands of infantry were arranged into a large formation and advanced in unison. The speed was actually very fast! Gao Lan reacted and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
The crossbowman who had been ready to go heard the order and immediately fired an arrow. He heard the loud noise from Weng. Countless arrows suddenly flew into the sky, instantly forming a dark cloud-like scene, flying straight towards the Qin army! In a blink of an eye, the dark clouds turned into heavy rain and fell into the middle of the Qin army, making a loud noise! The arrows fired by the Cao army were very fierce, but they basically hit the Qin army's shield and the iron armor of the leading iron armor of the Iron Armored Infantry. The violent arrow rain offensive did not cause much damage to the Qin army!
When the Qin army waited for the opponent's attack, the powerful crossbowman hidden behind the iron armor of the shield curtain immediately raised the divine arm bow that was ready to go, and fired a powerful rain of arrows towards the Cao army's battle formation! Countless arrows turned into countless black shadows and flew towards the Cao army, tearing the air and making a numb scream! In an instant, a loud bang sound was made, and the powerful arrows fired by the Qin army's powerful crossbow were heavily nailed to the Cao army's heavy iron shield. Only a few arrows passed through the gap between the shields and knocked down some Cao army officers and soldiers.
The Qin army's divine arm bow that had never been in trouble before failed to exert much effect?
It turned out that Cao's army had already thought of a way to deal with the Qin army's divine arm bow, and the most effective one was the special iron shield they were currently lined up in front of the formation.
As we all know, before this, the shields of each army were basically covered with a layer of leather on the outside of the wood, but that kind of shield could only withstand ordinary arrows, but could not resist the powerful arrows fired by the Divine Arm Bow.
In view of this, Cao Jun made this iron shield, that is, the outer side of the wooden board was covered with iron plates to replace the previous leather, so that it could withstand the shooting of the divine arm bow.
However, the cost and weight of this kind of shield are far greater than that of traditional shields.
The Qin army's divine arm bow attack was ineffective but he didn't care. The army continued to rush forward in bravery of the opponent's rain of arrows.
At the same time, the Qin cavalry running to both sides rushed straight to the wings of the Cao army formation, and then launched a fierce charge against the flanks of the Cao army formation.
In a blink of an eye, the Qin cavalry had rushed to the Cao army's formation not far away, and raised the cavalry crossbow to fire a locust-like arrow into the Cao army's formation.
Cao's army was caught off guard, and many officers and soldiers were shot to the ground, and the entire formation was shaken.
The Qin cavalry rushed towards the Cao army's front with the momentum, roaring with horses, like a storm of waves, and the long spears and swords flew fiercely, causing the Cao army's officers and soldiers to fly and fall from all directions. The Cao army's two wings' fronts were about to be broken through!
