The army quickly assembled, and in the melodious sound of horns and drums, launched a fierce attack on the north gate of Xia Cai City.

At the same time, Lü Bu ordered the two armies of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun of the East and West Gates to wait for the opportunity to move, and when the attack on the North Gate was launched and the defenders of the East and West Gates were pulled, they would take the opportunity to attack the city. The troops in the city are already weak, and it is already stretched to defend the city by scattering the troops, and when the time comes, the three gates will attack together, which will definitely make it difficult for the Xia Cai defenders to take care of each other and fall into chaos.

But even though the city was in turmoil, Lu Bu's army was still in a bitter battle, and there was no good way for a while.

The army attacked the city several times in succession, and attacked the head of the city countless times, but was killed and scattered by Niu Fu, who tried his best to resist the head of the city.

Xiacai North Gate, which looks crumbling, has been on the verge of breaking the city several times, but it has always stabilized the situation at the last moment.

The defenders of the city were brave and stubborn, and whenever a brave vanguard attacking the city attacked the city, they could always be besieged and annihilated by the defenders gathered from all sides, and there were countless archers behind them who cast bows and arrows with all their might.

For a time, the bones of the corpses were piled up under the city walls, and the blood collected in the moat in front of the city, dyeing the river water a piercing blood red. Countless soldiers who climbed the city wall were killed and injured by the falling rocks that fell from the city, and fell into the moat one after another, almost filling the wide river channel.

At the city gate, hundreds of pioneers guarded the huge siege vehicles that were rushed, and the round shields were held high on both sides to protect themselves, and everyone worked together to push the siege vehicles to slowly approach the city gate.

Although it is only a few dozen steps from the city gate bridge, this huge siege team is undoubtedly the place where the firepower of the defenders at the head of the city converges, once the city gate is lost, tens of thousands of Lu Bu's troops under the city can flock into the city, and the situation will be difficult to reverse.

As a result, the City Gate Bridge, which attacked the city gates, became the most bitterly contested place between the two sides.

The pioneer battalion went forward one after another, braving the dense rain of arrows and falling rocks at the head of the city, and countless soldiers died on both sides of the city gate bridge, and even more fire oil poured down from the city, ignited by enemy rockets, and the fire burned mercilessly, engulfing the lives of countless soldiers.

The fire inside and outside the city soared into the sky, reflecting the full moon in the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were day.

Although Lu Bu claimed to have 100,000 soldiers, he divided 20,000 people from the east and west gates, and the soldiers who could be used to attack the city were only tens of thousands.

However, Lu Bu's army was suffering from an emergency march, and there were not many giant siege equipment, only ordinary ladders made in a hurry, and even the siege vehicles were just patchwork of logs, and their attack power was much inferior to the machinery commonly used by Lu Bu's army.

The army of crossbow arrows, which was originally invincible in all directions, also exposed its shortcomings at this time, and Lu Bu's army improved the individual crossbow arrows, in order to improve the accuracy of the rate of fire, greatly weakened the range of crossbow arrows, and it was difficult to form too much threat to the defenders on the city under the city, and only a limited number of longbowmen could not suppress the fierce offensive of the defenders at the head of the city, so that the number of casualties rose sharply.

Lu Bu never expected that when the fire broke out in the city and the city fell into chaos, the defenders of the city wall would be able to burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the soldiers were suffering heavy casualties, he couldn't help but be angry, and said sharply: "Whether Guo Yan can still be used, if he can't use it, let him retreat, and I will personally go into battle." Deliver an order from my army to take the city gate within one hour, or else he will come to see him. ”

Tian Feng wanted to speak several times, and was about to open his mouth several times, but he didn't speak after all, Lu Bu secretly noticed it, so he asked: "Yuan Hao can say it if he has something, there is no need to swallow and spit out." ”

Tian Feng said: "Since the strong attack is ineffective, why don't the princes temporarily withdraw their troops, there are no reinforcements in the city, the grain and grass are not continued, and defeat is only a matter of time, why bother to storm the city to add casualties." We only need to besiege but not attack, and within ten days, Xia Cai will be broken by not attacking because of the lack of food, and then the prince and the prince will attack the city with heavy troops, and it will be at your fingertips. ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "If I don't care about the lives of the soldiers, Cao Cao left a heavy army here to block our footsteps to the south, and buy time for him to deploy defenses in Shouchun, if we don't attack the city as soon as possible and capture Caicheng to the south as soon as possible, then Cao Cao will be able to lay a thorough defense in Shouchun, and the casualties of the soldiers will be several times more than today." As a manager, I should not only focus on the immediate gains and losses, but also plan for the future. ”

Yang Xiu also said on the side: "The prince is right, the chaos in the city at this time is the result of our long plan, if we miss the opportunity, when Li Ru calms down the chaos in the city, not to mention that Zang Ba and other soldiers who sneak into the city will lose their lives, and the siege will be more difficult in the future." How much grain and grass is left in the city, and how many days can it last, we don't know the details, so wasting time here is the next step. ”

How could Tian Feng not know the situation in front of him, but he had never seen life and death, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he could only sigh when he heard the words.

When Guo Yan received Lu Bu's military order, he naturally did not dare to slack off, urged the army to step up the offensive, personally raised his sword and went into battle, faced the rain of arrows and falling stones, and climbed up the ladder.

With his bravery, he is naturally not comparable to ordinary soldiers, and a few vertical leaps are already approaching the city.

Niu Fu in the city commanded the battle situation, and he had already seen Guo Yan charging forward, and then regardless of the old feelings, he shot three arrows at Guo Yan with a bow and arrows, and the three arrows were in a row, which had the potential to break through the clouds and fog.

Guo Yan was in the air, although he saw the ferocity of the arrows, but he had no way to parry with his strength, and he gritted his teeth and jumped with all his strength, and the ladder under his feet collapsed, and countless soldiers who were still climbing on it fell down the city one after another. However, with the power of a leap, Guo Yan was able to dodge the fierce three arrows shot by Niu Fu, and his body fell on the top of the city.

Before he could gain a firm foothold, countless armor soldiers swarmed from all directions, and the shadows of swords and halberds stepped on one after another, forming an impenetrable torrent of steel, sweeping towards Guo Yan.

Guo Yan shouted, the long knife in his hand swept, and the fierce force was not something that ordinary soldiers could block, killing more than a dozen people with one move, and then moving forward, killing into the camp of the defenders at the head of the city, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, fierce and unstoppable.

Niu Fu waited for Li Ru's reinforcements to arrive, and he was already anxious, and when he saw Guo Yan kill the city, he couldn't help but be frightened.

Niu Fu and Guo Yan's colleagues for several years, knowing that he has the courage of ten thousand people, although these armor soldiers in front of him are raging tens of thousands of people, but they can help him, so they sacrificed themselves and pounced and killed Guo Yan.

The defenders at the head of the city were pinned down by Guo Yan and went straight to surround Guo Yan, making the defense line suddenly empty, and countless Lu Bu vanguard battalions would climb up from everywhere. Just before Huang Liu, Fu Yunzhong and other pioneer generals who were still homesick for the moon, all rushed to the head of the city, firmly occupying the passage to climb up the city, waiting for the rear army to attack one after another. The city wall was full of dangers everywhere, and the troops were stretched, and for a time the city head was short of arms, and the bows and arrows fell and the stones suddenly dissipated.

The pressure on the siege soldiers was greatly reduced, and countless soldiers climbed along the ladder of the city wall, and more and more soldiers attacked the city wall, and gradually grasped the initiative.

Countless soldiers under the city escorted siege wagons into the gates of the city walls, and slammed the gates with huge logs.

Just when the situation gradually reversed, Li Ru led tens of thousands of archers and armor soldiers drawn from the east and west gates to hurry up, seeing that the city wall was about to get out of control, he hurriedly led the army to join the battle formation, blocking the gaps in the city wall, and there were countless archers, placed in the rear to shoot arrows under the city, not seeking to hurt the enemy, only to cut off the reinforcements from the follow-up attack.

Lu Bu was under the city, and he saw the battlefield situation clearly, and now the battle situation is the moment to decide the victory or defeat of life and death.

At that moment, he rode forward and shouted: "Wealth and danger are sought, today the city is broken, there are heavy rewards, kill with me!" ”

Tens of thousands of headquarters troops finally attacked with all their troops and rushed towards the city walls.

Only Yang Xiu, Tian Feng and other advisers were left behind the battle formation and screamed loudly.

"Princes can't!"

"Prime Minister be careful."

Lu Bu took the lead, swinging countless arrows and arrows, running to the city wall and trying his best to jump, the person had already landed on the cloud ladder in mid-air, and jumped one after another on the cloud ladder, and in the blink of an eye, it had already fallen on the head of the city.

Tens of thousands of soldiers saw the prime minister personally kill the city, and the previous decline was swept away, and they sacrificed their lives to move forward bravely, and their morale was incomparably high.

Niu Fu was inseparable from Guo Yan's killing, and Li Ru's reinforcements arrived in time, and when he was glad to be able to hold the city, Lu Bu actually killed the city in person.

In his early years, he fought Lü Bu in Luoyang, and Lü Bu seriously injured him in only one round, making him unable to participate in the later battle of Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu. The first battle left him with a lifelong unforgettable memory, Lu Bu's martial arts like a ghost and god possessed him, which made him frightened, and he didn't want to meet him on the battlefield again.

At this time, seeing Lu Buti's halberd killing, the corpses of the places he passed were ambushed, and thousands of soldiers could not stop him, Niu Fu suddenly looked panicked in his hands, and was suppressed by Guo Yan's rapid attack, and it was difficult to have a chance to counterattack.

Guo Yan even shouted: "The prime minister is on a blind date, why don't you wait for ordinary people to be arrested!" ”

A group of Cao soldiers will have heard of Lu Bu's prestige, and when they see the place he passed through like a sharp blade through the Qianghao, thousands of defenders were like grass and trees for him to slaughter, and in the blink of an eye, a large vacuum area was killed, and countless Lu Bu's army followed closely and occupied most of the city tower in a moment. The defenders were immediately in a chaotic formation, and thousands of defenders were so imposing that they didn't dare to take another half step forward, and retreated one after another along Lu Bu's pace.

The walls were so long and narrow that they could not be allowed to keep retreating, and they only took a dozen steps back before they reached the edge of the stairs.

Li Ru was so anxious that he saw that the army was cowardly, and was forced to retreat again and again by Lu Bu alone, and hurriedly killed several retreating soldiers in the rear, and shouted: "We will kill Lu Bu with more strikes and fewer blows, this battle will be won, and those who retreat will die!" ”

Although thousands of armored soldiers were afraid, their military orders were like mountains, and they each gathered and killed Lu Bu from all sides.

Lu Bu didn't take these soldiers in his eyes, ignoring the thousands of soldiers who attacked and killed around him, he held his own halberd, walked like a fly in the army of ten thousand horses, and rushed to Li Ru, who gave orders.

Niu Fu was frightened inexplicably when he saw this, he knew that Li Ru was very anxious, but his martial arts were commonplace, where could he be Lu Bu's opponent, so he hurriedly took Guo Bi a knife, and took the opportunity to jump into the middle of the army, thinking that he was going to block Lu Bu for a moment, and shouted to himself: "You can't do anything, brother, go quickly, I'll cut off the queen for you." ”
