Chapter 18: Surprise Attack on Xuzhou (Part II)
After breaking through the Assassin's Mansion, it was equivalent to the control of Pengcheng falling into the hands of Lu Bu.
Two thousand iron cavalry raided, the city was chaotic, the fleeing soldiers and civilians, the news of the enemy's entry into the city was spread in the city, and the people who had originally walked out of their homes returned one after another, closing their homes, they were the lowest people, involved in such a thing, what would be the end.
Not only the people, but also some soldiers who fled took the opportunity to enter the homes of the people, and the extremely vicious soldiers were even more interested in getting rich.
After receiving the order from the captain, Zhang Min woke up in shock, and at this time, beside Zhang Min, there were two women with a decent appearance, and the two of them were like octopuses, wrapped around Zhang Min's body.
As if awakened by Zhang Min's movements, a woman muttered dissatisfiedly: "General, it's still early at this time." β
"Get out of the way." Zhang Min sat up abruptly and shouted.
The two women trembled when they saw Zhang Min's anger.
The soldier who entered the room to report the news seemed to have forgotten the danger of the cavalry raiding the city, staring at the two women with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth.
"Command the army, gather at once, rush to the west of the city, and block the enemy." Zhang Min drew his sword and killed the soldier, shouting dissatisfiedly.
The bloody scene caused the two women to scream.
"If you dare to scream again, Ben will kill you, why don't you quickly find the armor and clothes for Ben Jiang." Zhang Min rebuked angrily.
When the two women heard this, their delicate bodies were still trembling, but they didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience, they could hardly imagine that this was the captain who had been crazy with them for half a night last night, and kept talking sweetly.
When Zhang Min walked out of the mansion, the sergeants had not yet gathered, and the untidy armor of the soldiers seemed to have become the norm, and even some of the soldiers asked where his blades had gone in the ranks, as if this was not a battle, but just a drill.
"The soldiers obey the order and follow the general to kill the enemy!" Zhang Minyun shouted with all his strength, encountering a surprise attack by the enemy, how critical the situation is, if it can't be solved as soon as possible, it will become Peng Cheng's nightmare, not only that, he will also be implicated, as for saying that the soldiers in the army have not been gathered, he can't wait.
"Lieutenant, Captain Li was killed by the enemy, and the city gate was lost."
"Captain, a cavalry is heading towards the Assassin's Mansion."
......
The situation in the city continued to reach Zhang Min's ears, Zhang Min hurriedly divided his soldiers into two parts, the deputy general led a thousand people to the city gate to rescue, and he led a 2,000 army to the Assassin's Mansion.
The Assassin's Mansion is a symbol of Xuzhou, and if the Assassin's Mansion falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although Zhang Min has problems in his ordinary life, he is a fierce general on the battlefield, and he has made a lot of contributions when fighting against the Yellow Turban, and the Zhang family is quite powerful in the city, so he was able to become a captain.
Lu Bu raised the halberd in his hand, thousands of cavalry strangled the horses, the slightly chaotic Xuzhou army in front made Lu Bu a little funny, at this time the sky was already bright, from the cavalry raid on the city gate to now, it was more than half an hour, but this was the first Xuzhou army he encountered in the city, which really made people feel a little ridiculous.
"Who are you? Dare to lead a large army to attack Pengcheng! Daring! Zhang Min rode his horse and crossed the knife and shouted in front of the battle.
Lu Bu stepped forward slowly, and the halberd hung low.
The silent oppression came to his face, and he didn't know Lu Bu, but Zhang Min felt a huge pressure from Lu Bu's body, as if he would be in a different place the next moment.
"A certain is Wen Hou." Lu Bu said lightly.
"Wen Hou?" Zhang Min's eyes tightened.
Although Xuzhou is far away from Luoyang, there are rumors in Xuzhou that Ding Yuan's subordinates betrayed Lu Bu and took refuge in Dong Zhuo and helped Dong Zhuo eradicate dissidents in the city.
"You are Dong Zhuo's general Lu Bu?" Zhang Min was shocked.
"Exactly." Lu Bu stared at Zhang Min coldly.
Zhang Min's soul is all gone, didn't he say that the princes' coalition army won a complete victory and defeated Dong Zhuo's old thief to recapture Luoyang, why did Dong Zhuo's fierce general Lu Bu appear in Pengcheng.
"Wen Hou should retreat quickly, and Zhang Min, the commander of Pengcheng, is also." Zhang Min shouted: "Otherwise, Hugh blames a certain and you're welcome." β
The Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand was slightly raised, causing Zhang Min's body to tremble.
"Shouldn't Captain Zhang think about it, if you take refuge in the general, you can avoid the disaster of killing, and you are still the Captain of Pengcheng." Lu Budao: "If not, there is only one death!" β
If it was according to Lu Bu's character, he would have led the army to charge forward, the Xuzhou army was not in order, and with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, it only took one charge to make Zhang Min defeated, but he followed Jia Xu's advice and tried his best to win over the defenders in the city, so as to stabilize the city faster.
Hearing this, Zhang Min's face kept changing, and he couldn't help but compare the situation between the two sides, he had to admit that with the current state of the Xuzhou army, it was impossible to drive Lu Bu out of the city, and Lu Bu's promise also had a fatal temptation for Zhang Min
"Zhang Duwei doesn't know that Wen Hou is dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's brutal behavior and has already escaped from Dong Zhuo's old thief." Jia Xu stepped forward and said.
In a word, Zhang Min's last insistence completely collapsed, since Lu Bu went to the opposite side of Dong Zhuo, that is, the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, after taking refuge in Lu Bu, his position can be kept, as for the future, who can predict it, Lu Bu's arrival is unbelievable.
"Thanks to Wen Hou for such a promotion, the last general is willing to take refuge." Zhang Min turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and hugged his fist.
Lu Bu did not dismount, "The affairs in the city, for the time being, there is Captain Lao Zhangdu, just follow Wenhe's orders, Hao Meng, you lead five hundred cavalry to assist Wenhe." β
"Whoa." Hao Meng hugged his fists.
Zhang Min took refuge, the situation changed dramatically, and the soldiers of the Xuzhou army who followed Zhang Min were dumbfounded. However, they were secretly relieved to be able to avoid this engagement.
The Xuzhou army had 2,000 people, but when facing the thousand cavalry, they felt the overwhelming killing intent, and they had no doubt that the Xuzhou army would suffer heavy losses after the battle between the two sides.
With Zhang Min's cooperation, Jia Xu guided from it, but in two hours, Pengcheng, this ancient city, was controlled by Lu Bu, and the soldiers guarding the city gate, for the cavalry who followed Lu Bu and the foot soldiers in the Xuzhou army, it was not that Lu Bu was at ease with Zhang Min, but that he only had 2,000 cavalry under his command, and it was not a wise move to use cavalry as foot pawns to take over the defense.
LΓΌ Bu led the iron cavalry to raid Pengcheng, Zhang Min surrendered, and after the news that all the city fell into LΓΌ Bu's control spread in the city, Pengcheng officials were shaken.
