Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 494 Where is the Future?
The thrilling and exciting chase in Onozawa had just ended, but the hunt on the battlefield was about to begin.
More than 10,000 cavalrymen surrounded the 50,000 archers in the middle, just like holding a grand bonfire party. They moved around and shouted like a revolving lantern, approached and fired a wave of arrows when the enemy was not paying attention, and retreated to a safe distance after they were done, gradually wearing down the will and arrows of Cao's army!
The archers were led by Cao Cao's General Le Jin. At first, he ordered his soldiers to draw their bows and fire several rounds, but the result was no surprise: they shot into the air every time.
In history, Le Jin was selected as one of the five best generals of Cao Wei. His military literacy was very high. After seeing that he could not hit the enemy cavalry at all, in order to save arrows, he stopped shooting arrows casually. As long as his soldiers still had arrows in their hands, the cavalry would not dare to charge at will, and he still had a chance.
However, this is not a long-term solution. If Cao Cao does not send reinforcements, these exhausted soldiers will collapse by tomorrow morning at most.
Cao Cao wanted to go and rescue, but when Sun Ce left, he took away 5,000 soldiers belonging to Jiangdong. Cao Cao only had 25,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry left by Sun Ce. How could he have the ability to come out to rescue?
The Tang army had no way of attacking the camp, but they were more than enough to deal with the 20,000 to 30,000 Cao troops stationed in the camp. If they were not careful and failed to rescue the army, their entire army would be wiped out. Then, Cao Mengde would have died here completely today.
At this time, Cao Cao could only pin his hopes on Yu Jin. If he crushed Lu Bu to death, at least he could cause chaos in the Tang army. Or even if he failed to kill Lu Bu, as long as the caravan returned, Le Jin would have a chance to break through.
Just as Cao Cao was anxiously waiting, the lookout soldier came to report that Yu Jin's convoy had returned!
Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurried out of the tent and climbed up the watchtower. He could not see the team clearly in the darkness, but he saw torches forming several fire dragons moving towards him in the distance. He heard the rumbling sound of wheels, which was undoubtedly his own caravan.
As the convoy approached, the sound of wheels grew louder. Seeing that they were almost at the main camp, Cao Cao hurried down from the watchtower, asking, "Has anyone returned first? Did they succeed in killing Lü Bu and the Flying Bear Army?"
Everyone around him shook their heads. Xun You said, "Wen Ze has been gone for such a long time, and he hasn't sent anyone back to report the news."
Cao Cao wanted to go to the door to greet them, but the sound of the wheels became farther and farther away.
"What is Wen Ze doing? Can he run back and forth for dozens of miles and still launch a charge?" Cao Cao asked in confusion, and hurriedly sent people out of the camp to chase him and ask.
After a while, the soldier in charge of patrolling outside the camp came in to report that the convoy was heading towards the Tang army camp.
Cao Cao did not believe that Yu Jin would betray him, and based on the current situation, even if he chased him to the shores of Daye Lake and still could not kill Lu Bu, the worst that could happen was that he would return. Why would he betray him?
"Wen Ze, will he..."
Xun You had barely finished speaking when Cao Cao interrupted him, "No way. Four hundred chariots. Even if Lü Bu is capable of overturning four hundred of them, he's not a human being, he's a ghost or a god. If that's the case, there's no point in me fighting him for the throne!"
Cao Cao then sent another man after the caravan, but the soldier returned just as he left the camp, trembling and reporting, "Lü, Lü Lü, Lü Bu is here, right outside the camp!"
Cao Cao was horrified. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "How many troops have arrived?"
"Only, only two people!"
"Two people?"
Seeing the soldier nodding continuously, Cao Cao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He called Dian Wei and other guards, surrounded himself with three layers of guards, and walked towards the gate of the camp. Before he got close, Lu Bu's arrogant voice came over.
"Cao Mengde, I've specially sent you Yu Wenze's head. Won't you come out and see it?"
Cao Cao paused and asked in disbelief, "What did he say? What did he send back?"
Xun You's expression changed drastically, and he burst into tears, "Yes, it's Wen Ze's... head!"
"How is that possible? Impossible!" Cao Cao was a little incoherent. "Even if he had supernatural powers, could he overturn four galloping horses? This is impossible. No matter how capable he is, his horses are just as capable as him. How could he kill Wen Ze? This is absolutely impossible. He is lying to me and trying to disrupt the morale of our army! Yes, he is trying to disrupt the morale of our army!"
Cao Cao strode towards the camp gate. Under the firelight, Lu Bu and a white-robed general were sitting on their war horses, safe and sound. One was black, the other was white, both looked domineering (in fact, only Lu Bu was like this, Zhao Yun was still very humble).
Seeing Cao Cao coming out, Lu Bu raised the head he was holding and said, "Your trusted and beloved general is here. Brother Meng De, why don't you come out and take it yourself?"
Afraid that the other party couldn't see clearly, he asked Zhao Yun to hold the torch closer and brushed away the messy hair stuck to Yu Jin's face.
Cao Cao saw clearly that it was indeed Yu Jin. He was trembling with fear, but he pretended to be calm and shouted, "Lü Fengxian, you villain, stop talking nonsense here and disrupting the morale of our army!"
"Disrupt your army's morale?"
Lü Bu chuckled with disdain. "At this point, do you really need me to personally come and disrupt your scattered army's morale? Brother Meng De, you think too highly of yourself."
Cao Cao's face was gloomy, the corners of his lips moved but he had nothing to say.
"This head is useless to me, so I'll return it to you. Yu Wenze's body is outside the camp, come and get it yourself."
Lu Bu raised his left hand and threw Yu Jin's head into Cao's camp. Cao Ang jumped up and caught it.
Lu Bu turned his horse and left, as if he really came just to return the head, but after taking only two steps, he turned back again.
"Oh, I almost forgot the main thing. I came here today not only to return Yu Wen Ze's head, but also to thank Brother Meng De for sending me hundreds of chariots. I just sent someone back to replace the warhorses. I heard that your 50,000 archers are still trapped on the battlefield by my wife. I will use them to see how it feels to crush people with chariots. I'm sure it must be very comfortable! Hahaha..."
His arrogant and conceited laughter reached Cao's camp, and Cao Cao's legs went weak and he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Lord..."
"Father……"
Dian Wei and Cao Ang wanted to help him up, but he waved his hands, sat on the ground and took deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, otherwise he was afraid that he would rush out of the camp and fight that guy to the death in a fit of rage!
Yu Jin's death and the chariot team's surrender were greatly unexpected by everyone in Cao's camp. If they had not seen Yu Jin's head with their own eyes, and if they had not heard the rumbling sound of the chariots and horses heading towards the Tang camp, they really would not have believed it was true.
"My lord, hurry up! Leave the camp immediately while the Tang army is surrounding and killing the crossbowmen!" Xun You was the first to come to his senses. "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave tomorrow!"
"Wen Qian's 50,000 men are still outside. How can I abandon him and run away?" Cao Cao calmed his anger, supported Cao Ang's hand, and stood up. He walked to Yu Jin's head, his face filled with grief. "They all died fighting for me. Yuan Rang's head has not been retrieved yet. How can I leave?"
"My lord..." Xun You and the others urged sadly, "It is because they died fighting for you that you must preserve their useful bodies for the future. Otherwise, these people's deaths would have been in vain!"
At this moment, Cao Cao was truly disheartened. He stared blankly at Yu Jin's head and smiled bitterly, "Tomorrow? Where is there a tomorrow?"
