Chapter 537

He was instantly overjoyed; the rain had really come! It was very difficult for him to pester Liu Bei to talk!

Soon,

the rain fell pitter-patter; Cao Cao retreated ten steps, mounted his horse, and laughed.

"Liu Xuande, we've chatted enough; let's start the battle now!"

Liu Bei seemed startled.

"Good you, Cao Mengde; just now you said to turn swords into silk, and now!"

Guo Jia exclaimed,

"My lord, we were deceived; Cao Cao was dragging out time; he wanted to attack us during the heavy rain."

Zhang Fei cursed loudly.

"Cao Cao Aman is too treacherous; big brother, let's go back quickly."

Cao Cao was extremely proud in his heart; Liu Bei had finally been deceived by him once.

"Liu Xuande, go back and organize the army for battle!"

Xu You shook his head; this Liu Bei was a bit unworthy of his name, actually being deceived by Cao Aman.

Liu Bei turned around, cursing Cao Cao for being shameless while the corners of his mouth contained a smile.

The troops of both sides soon returned to the formation.

At this time, it was already a torrential rain, and water soon collected on the ground!

"Boom!"

Like muffled thunder, the sound of drums came; Cao Cao's side began to attack!

At the very beginning, it was the heavy infantry holding large shields!

Their formation was neat and tight; Cao Cao observed very carefully this time; Liu Bei didn't bring out the bed-crossbows and catapults!

He could safely use the dense infantry formation to fight Liu Bei!

Liu Bei's side also began to mobilize troops.

The horns blared long, intertwined with the sound of the wind and the sound of killing; no matter how heavy the rain was, the soldiers adjusted their formations in an orderly manner!

The two sides grew closer and closer.

The drums of attack sounded.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Gao Shun's Trapping Camp and Ju Yi's Vanguard Camp both used powerful crossbows to greet the Allied forces opposite!

Unfortunately, the effect this time seemed very limited; the torrential rain blocked the line of sight and also reduced the strength of the arrows!

Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed heartily; he had bet right this time!

"This time let's fight with real swords and guns by numbers!"

Liu Bei decisively stopped the unnecessary shooting; not to mention wasting crossbow bolts, it also reduced the service life of the crossbows.

Gao Shun and Ju Yi were not panicked.

"Spears!"

The Trapping Camp and Vanguard Camp held shields in the front row, and the people behind each held a short spear in their hands!

Liu Bei also equipped these two ace units with two short spears each!

"Fire!"

Everyone threw the short spears in their hands with all their might; although the heavy rain made it impossible for everyone to see clearly, many screams still came!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Cao Cao's side also threw long spears toward this side, also causing some damage.

"Boom!"

Suddenly a loud noise, the large shields of both sides collided with a boom!

Long spears thrust out from the gaps, taking away young lives!

Both sides were reckless in greeting each other!

Liu Bei stood on his horse, his eyes like torches, proud and uninhibited in the heavy rain.

"So, Cao Cao also trained a unit of elite infantry, secretly learning Gao Shun's tactics; this old boy is indeed treacherous!"
