Chapter Forty-Four: Reinforcements Dispatched, Zhang Xun's Panic!
"The lord is wise."
Chen Gong bowed his hand and bowed.
Most of the 10,000 soldiers defending the city were actually Lu Bu's soldiers, and in a bloody battle with Zhang Xun, both sides would lose both.
But if you abandon the city and leave, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Son of Heaven to explain, and he will retreat in a bloody battle and take away enough burials, not only will he have no fault, but he will have merit.
The world says that Lu Bu is capricious, but in Chen Gong's view, his repeated horizontal jumps are the foundation of the troubled times.
Speaking of capriciousness, isn't Liu Bei the same?
"It's too boring to defend the city, I'll order two thousand soldiers and horses, kill them directly, and open a bloody road for our army to retreat and kill by the way."
Lu Bu advanced the breakthrough operation in advance, and immediately handed over the task of defending the city to Hou Cheng, and he led his troops to kill it.
Two thousand against twenty thousand, although it is a bit of a fool's dream to win, but relying on the bravery of the god of war, it may not be impossible to maneuver.
When it comes to sacrificing one's life on the battlefield, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are still apprentices brought out by Lu Bu.
"General, it's not good, Lu Bu is out of the city."
Some soldiers reported to Zhu Jun.
"What!"
Zhu Jun was shocked, now the enemy is outnumbered, Lu Bu's east gate, only 3,000 people defended, in the face of Zhang Xun's 20,000 army onslaught, he even took 2,000 people out of the city to fight.
This is not only a taboo for soldiers, but also a suicide attempt.
"General Zhu Jun."
At this time, Gao Shun also rushed over, and after hearing the news that Lu Bu was out of the city to fight, he hurriedly came to Zhu Jun to discuss.
"General Gao Shun, in this situation, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhu Jun asked.
"From what I know about Lu Bu, he is not killing himself, but wants to consume a wave of strength with Zhang Xun, but so that the army can break through."
Gao Shun analyzed.
"So, can't Xia Pi hold it?"
Zhu Jun frowned and said.
"Unless there is foreign aid, you can't hold it."
"It's just that Your Majesty is facing Ji Ling's 100,000 army, and I don't know what to do now."
Gao Shun sighed.
"Let's break through too."
Zhu Jun also lost his temper, if the city was broken, then everyone would become prisoners, and the army that His Majesty had worked so hard to manage would also be lost.
He said: "I'll let the Bai Bo army assemble now, and the Wei Wushu you recruited will follow us." ”
At present, there are less than 4,000 troops defending the west gate and the north gate, but the attacking troops are as many as 20,000.
If you want to break through, it's not that simple, if one is not careful, it will cause a scuffle.
Zhu Jun deeply knew that His Majesty had put a lot of effort into these 30,000 Baibo troops.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll send three thousand Baibo troops out, which can be regarded as a small to protect the big."
Zhu Jun thought for a moment, now the Baibo army is not without combat strength, but it has only experienced a hard battle, and it has not yet finished resting, and if it rushes into the battlefield, it will suffer too much losses.
It is also helpless to give up the small to protect the big.
"Is there really no other way?"
Gao Shun sighed.
"General Gao Shun!"
At this time, Cao Xing, who stayed at the north gate, hurried over.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Shun hurriedly asked.
"Reinforcements are coming."
Cao Xuan said in surprise.
"Reinforcements?"
Zhu Jun and Gao Shun were both surprised, and then their hearts were overjoyed, and they hurriedly asked, "Is it His Majesty's army, where are they?" ”
"Not Your Majesty."
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "It's Guan Ning Tieqi, you see." ”
Cao Xuan pointed his hand to the north, only to see Chang Yuchun leading 8,000 Guanning iron cavalry, and was rushing towards the enemy.
"Oops, how did I forget, there is also the stubble of cavalry!"
Zhu Jun was overjoyed, he had seen the combat power of Guanning's iron cavalry.
In the morning, when His Majesty was dispatching troops, he deliberately transferred the Guanning Iron Cavalry to the outside of the city, and no one knew what they were doing.
Unexpectedly, they turned out to be outside Xiapi City.
"Immediately give the order, cooperate with the charge of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and go out of the city to fight!"
Zhu Jun ordered.
"What's going on, what's going on with the troops at the West Gate and the North Gate?"
Zhang Xun looked into the distance and asked puzzled.
"Oh no, General, a cavalry is coming at us."
The scout hurried to report.
"What? Cavalry! ”
Zhang Xun was shocked, they were all infantry, and they were still in a siege formation, if they were beaten away by cavalry, how could they attack the city?
"How many cavalry?"
Zhang Xun hurriedly asked, he was going to organize the infantry to reject the horse first, so that it could last a lot of time.
"Rough estimate, about 8,000 people......"
"They're divided into four teams, and two of them are coming towards us."
The scout said tremblingly.
"So many, isn't that the end of the calf!"
Zhang Xun was taken aback, he thought that there were at most a few hundred or one or two thousand cavalry, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
There are 4,000 people rushing to his side alone, so how can he refuse?
"General."
At this time, another soldier rushed in front of Zhang Xun and reported: "The big thing is not good, Lu Bu led the troops to kill it." ”
"W-What ......?"
Zhang Xun was so frightened that his face changed, and he only had one thought in his mind now, which was to withdraw the army!
"Hehe, I didn't expect Your Majesty to have this arrangement, it seems that Cao Agui's idea has failed again."
Lu Bu rode on the red rabbit horse and led the troops to Zhang Xun, but in fact, his purpose was also defeated.
However, he has a trick, and if he can't be a warlord, then he should be a loyal minister.
As long as Zhang Xun is killed, it will be the first great achievement in defending the city!
……
"I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be right, Yuan Shu really had an army of 50,000 to attack Xiapi."
Not far from Xiapi City, Lu Lingqi looked into the distance on horseback, and Xiapi City was in the middle of a big war at this time.
Guanning Iron Cavalry traveled through the four gates, and the defenders of the four gates all went out to fight, and Zhang Xun was already miserable.
"Zhuge Liang?"
At this time, more than a dozen horsemen came next to him, it was Jia Xu and others, and after the military order was issued in the morning, Liu Xie asked Jia Xu to go out of the city with Chang Yuchun.
First, if Ji Ling is difficult to attack, he can still mobilize half of the Guanning Iron Cavalry as a last resort.
Second, although Jia Xu is outside the city, he can peek into the city from the outside and observe the overall situation.
He came to Liu Xie's side and said, "Your Majesty is the real last resort, I didn't expect Zhang Xun to come and capture Pi." ”
"I just had a hunch at first."
Liu Xie was not proud, Xia Pi was weak, in fact, it was very likely that Yuan Shu would attack and take Xia Pi, but he didn't expect them to be able to react like this.
In this way, Yuan Shu's troops attacking Xuzhou were not 100,000, but 150,000.
However, the war will soon end, and what Yuan Shu left behind is just a mess.
Compared with Yuan Shu, Liu Xie actually cared more about the other two people.
He asked, "Cao Cao, what does Mr. think?" ”
"At the moment, they are standing still, but they are ready to fight."
Jia Xu said that he observed the overall situation, including Cao Cao in the suburbs.
"Oh, as expected."
Liu Xie smiled softly, this style is very in line with Cao Apu, but his plan to fish in troubled waters is estimated to have failed.
"So, what about Lu Bu?"
Liu Xie attached himself to Jia Xu's ear and asked in a low voice.
