Chapter Twenty-Eight: Abandoning the City?
With the first confrontation between Lu Bu's army and the Liaodong army, Qingcheng, a small border city that has been quiet for decades and has not been warned, shows its grandeur at this moment.
"Kill!" There is no moat outside Qingcheng, so the vanguard of the Liaodong Army can run directly towards the city of Qingcheng with a shield in one hand and a siege ladder in the other.
At the same time, they also bite sharp weapons in their mouths, so that they can fight bravely to kill the enemy after attacking the city!
On the city wall of Qingcheng, Lu Bu was commanding his soldiers to resist the Liaodong army attacking the city wall.
Under the command of Lu Bu, all of a sudden, countless arrow rains shot towards the Liaodong army under the city, and in such a dense rain of arrows, each wave could end the lives of many Liaodong soldiers.
At the same time, the catapults fixed on the city wall were also bombarded by the Liaodong army aimed at the city one by one, and some Liaodong soldiers were hit by the huge stone-throwing and instantly turned into a piece of flesh!
It can be described as a terrifying death, which is shocking to watch!
However, these did not hit the courage of the Liaodong Army to continue to attack the city, they gritted their teeth one by one, braved the threat of arrow rain and stone throwing, and continued to put the cloud ladder on the Qingcheng city wall desperately, and then climbed up!
However, they couldn't help but risk attacking the city, because there were many overseers armed with machetes in their rear, and if these besieging soldiers dared to take half a step back, they would definitely be mercilessly slaughtered by the murderous overseers.
Anyway, I have to die, it's better to be a hero and die a glorious death!
Besides, if they attack the city wall of Qingcheng and defeat the army of Lu Bu defending the city, they may not have a chance to survive as the siege pioneers.
What's more, as long as they are the first to attack the city wall, they will receive a rich reward, which is enough for their family to live this life without worrying about food and clothing!
"For our glory, kill, kill and defeat these Liaodong troops who came to attack the city!" The Liaodong army besieging the city was not afraid of death, but Lu Bu's army was not so easy to mess with.
In addition, these defenders are the most elite wolf cavalry and personal soldiers under Lu Bu's account, and all of them are experienced existences.
Even if they dismounted, they were just as brave and fearless, sharpening their knives and killing the enemy!
For a time, Lu Bu's army was defeated and retreated by the Liaodong army, and no Liaodong soldier was able to climb the city wall and receive the rich reward!
"Woo woo......" The signal of the enemy's Mingjin withdrawal sounded, facing the powerful army of Lu Bu, which made the Liaodong vanguard army besieging the city breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, they all moved away from the Qingcheng city wall and quickly retreated towards their rear!
......Half an hour later, the drums of the attack sounded again.
Obviously, the Liaodong Army, which must break through Qingcheng today, once again launched the order to siege the city.
Seeing that the enemy army was attacking the city again, Lu Bu, who had been prepared, hurriedly commanded his own soldiers to defend the city.
Soon, in the face of Lu Bu's methodical command and the powerful Lu Bu army, the Liaodong Army failed to attack the city again!
Qingcheng was not breached twice in a row, and the Liaodong Army was not discouraged, rested for a while, and under the command of Gongsun Gong, the chief general of the Liaodong Army, and Liu Yi, the deputy general, launched the Liaodong soldiers to attack the city again.
"Woo woo ......" time is passing, the sky has gradually fallen into darkness, with the signal of Mingjin's withdrawal of troops sounded, the Liaodong Army's fifth siege today can be declared a failure.
Lu Bu's army only blocked the siege of 10,000 people of their Liaodong Army with only 1,300 people, and also blocked them five sieges in succession, which made Gongsun Gong, who was arrogant and looked down on Lu Bu, a lost dog, suddenly turn red with anger.
Looking at the low city wall of Qingcheng and the few enemy troops on the city wall, as if he was laughing at his Gongsun Gong's incompetence, Gongsun Gong couldn't swallow this depression!
So, Gongsun Gong hurriedly gathered all the Liaodong army and wanted to launch another siege battle.
"Second son, it's dark, let's wait until tomorrow to attack the city, right? The number of enemy troops is relatively small, and we will lose if we defend it for a long time, tomorrow, we will definitely be able to break through Qingcheng! Besides, the soldiers have been attacking the city for an afternoon, and they are already mentally and physically exhausted, so let's arrange for the soldiers to set up camp and let the soldiers have a good rest! Seeing that Gongsun Gong, who was the commander of the army, had become so irritable, this was not a good sign, so Liu Yi hurriedly persuaded.
"Humph! This rescue of Chen Han, are you the main general or is this son the main general? As the deputy general of Ben Gongzi, you have to listen to Ben Gongzi for everything! Now, Ben Gongzi orders you to go down and gather soldiers to attack the city immediately, otherwise, Ben Gongzi will deal with you with military justice! Gongsun Gong, who was already angry, saw that Liu Yi dared to stop him, and immediately glared angrily, regardless of whether Liu Yi was one of the most valued generals by his father Gongsun Du, he pointed at Liu Yi and scolded angrily.
"You ......" Seeing that Gongsun Gong was so faceless in front of everyone, and he persuaded him to think about the overall situation, Liu Yi was very angry.
"Humph!" However, the military order was like a mountain, Liu Yi could only snort coldly at Gongsun Gong, the so-called chief general, and went down to gather soldiers to attack the city again.
Leaving Gongsun Gong to look at Qingcheng not far away, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! Three family slaves, my son doesn't believe that he can't break the city you are guarding today! ”
The Liaodong Army launched an attack again, and the two sides were so close to each other, so naturally they let Lu Bu know for the first time.
This time, Lu Bu did not command his soldiers to defend Qingcheng desperately, but looked at Zhou Cang, who was standing respectfully on the side, and ordered: "Yuanfu, we will abandon the city later, and tell the soldiers to prepare to break through!" ”
"No!" Zhou Cang answered, and then asked: "Lord, there is no Liaodong Army in the south of the city, can we break through from there?" ”
"No, let's wait to break through from the east of the city!" Lu Bu replied without doubt.
The Liaodong Army attacked Qingcheng using the method of "encircling three and missing one", encircling the eastern, western and northern gates of Qingcheng, leaving a southern part of the city that was not guarded by the Liaodong Army.
However, the cautious Lu Bu did not believe that there was no Liaodong army guarding outside the south of the city, there must be ambushes in the shadows, waiting for his side to break through and enter their trap!
"No!" As a subordinate, Zhou Cang naturally would not refute Lu Bu's order, and after respectfully responding to the order, he went down to arrange the abandonment of the city.
"Knock knock knock ......" At this time, the Liaodong Army also launched a siege battle again.
Lu Bu led his soldiers to maneuver with the Liaodong army besieging the city at the head of the city, and then pretended to be invincible, led the wolf cavalry and his own soldiers to retreat from the city, and rode the war horse that had been prepared to gallop in the direction of the east of the city.
"Kill, kill Lu Jun!" Seeing that Lu Bu's army was defeated and wanted to abandon the city and flee, under the command of Gongsun Gong, who was excited because of the breakthrough of the city, the Liaodong army suddenly chased and killed Lu Bu's army with murderous spirit, not wanting to let Lu Bu and them go like this, so that the army of Lu Bu who had been 'defeated' escaped.
Lu Bu's army rode a war horse under the pursuit of the Liaodong army and soon came to the east of the city, opened the city gate, and saw the Liaodong army guarding outside the city gate immediately screaming and killing Lu Bu.
Lu Bu, as cavalry, naturally would not be afraid of these Liaodong Army infantry blocking the way.
Lu Bu took the lead, and when the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand opened and closed, he killed more than a dozen Liaodong soldiers, and took more than a thousand horsemen to the distance!
During this period, Lu Bu also looked back at Qingcheng and the Liaodong Army, who were excited after breaking through Qingcheng, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, as if to say: Enjoy this 'victory'! This city will soon be your burial place!
