Chapter 127: Battle of Xuzhou (Ending)

"Report - General Qiyu, there is a war report in Xuzhou!"

"Oh! Speak. Zhao Xu stood at the gate of Xiaoguan, looking at the wounded or dead soldiers everywhere, the smoke on the battlefield was billowing out, the embers had not been extinguished, and the ordnance, flags and blood on the ground showed the fierceness of the battle. I have to say that Tao Qian's effort to repair Xiao Pass is really big, the city wall alone is as high as more than five zhang, easy to defend and difficult to attack, to capture this Xiao Pass, Zhao Xu also spent a lot of effort, if it is not for the crossbow, can shoot the soldiers on the city head from a long distance, to attack this Xiao Pass, the casualties must be very heavy; Rao was like this, and even paid the price of more than 200 deaths, 1,000 serious injuries, and 2,000 minor injuries to capture Xiao Pass.

"General Qiyu, General Huang Lao and General Chen have exterminated Lu Bu's advisor Chen Gong, and the day before yesterday they fought Lu Bu outside Xuzhou City, breaking Lu Bu's army, and now they have forced Lu Bu in Xiaopei and have been surrounded."

"What! So fast, huh...... Well, you go down and rest first! Zhao Xu took the letter, waved his hand, and the soldier was ordered to retreat, Zhao Xu turned his head to a soldier next to him and said, "Go, quickly call Zilong to me." ”

"No!"

In a moment, the pro-soldier led Zhao Yun over, "Big brother, what's the matter with Zilong?" Zhao Yun walked over, saluted Zhao Xu, and greeted.

"Zilong, gather all the Haolong Xuanjia Army, let's go to Xiaopei; The rest of the soldiers were all left behind in this Xiaoguan to stand by. ”

"Xiao Pei? What are you doing in Xiaopei? Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

Zhao Xu laughed, "Lu Bu's end is coming." After that, he handed the letter to Zhao Yun and said, "Lu Bu is now at the end of his rope, we will gather troops and give him a fatal blow." ”

"I see, Zilong takes the order."

In Xiaopei City, Lu Bu had already predicted his results at this time, and originally expected to stay in Xiaopei for a while, and then go to Yuan Shu, or make a comeback, but who thought that he hadn't rested for long, Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi and others arrived. Although the heavy rain blocked the pace of Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi's army, Huang Zhong was still a careful person after all, and he still sent soldiers to follow, and there were many strong soldiers among the Baier soldiers, so he didn't waste much time on this.

Although Lu Bu is brave, but Xiaopei is only a small county, the original city guards are only five hundred, plus Lu Bu and a number of defeated soldiers, there are only more than a thousand people, but outside the city are tens of thousands of menacing soldiers, Lu Bu also suddenly felt discouraged, no fighting spirit, eyes stared blankly ahead, feeling as if something was stabbing him in the chest, making him breathless.

At this time, Lu Bu's strategist Wang Kai walked into the ceremony and said: "General, the Qingzhou soldiers and the Xuzhou soldiers have surrounded Xiaopei's regiment, Xiaopei City has little grain, and it won't last long, so we might as well break out of the encirclement at night and go to Huainan to ask Yuan Shu for help." ”

Although Lu Bu was discouraged, he was not willing to die, and there was no hope of surrendering now, so he could only follow what Wang Kai said, and asked at the moment: "How much grain and grass is there in Xiaopei City now?" ”

"General, Xiao Peizhong is only more than 20 days of food."

Lu Bu secretly thought: It will take a month to travel to and from Huainan from here, regardless of whether Yuan Shufa sends troops or not, this place can only hold on for a month at most, it seems that it can only be like this, I hope to hold on to January!

Wang Kai saw that Lu Bu was secretly sad, knelt down and shouted: "I am not talented, I am willing to live and die with the general, and defend Xiaopei." ”

Several other generals were also shocked when they saw it, and they were all moved by Wang Kai's behavior, not to mention that Wang Kai was just a scholar, he could be like this, as a military general, An Neng was backward, and they knelt down and shouted: "The last general is willing to live and die with the general, and defend Xiaopei!" ”

Lu Bu was happy and moved when he saw it, and said with tears in his eyes: "You and others are all loyal and righteous people, if Lu has a glimmer of survival, he will fight the world one day, and he will share the world with you!" ”

If it were usual, Lu Bu's words would definitely boost morale, but at this time, he was in the siege of the city, and he didn't know if his life could be saved, so he couldn't talk about sharing the world, but the generals could only take this as anesthesia, just think about it but don't say it. Lu Bu's spirits regained and he immediately said, "The generals will go to the city with me to watch." ”

"No!"

When Lu Bu and the others came to the city pass, they saw that the troops outside were gathered from all directions, surrounded by water, and now they wanted to kill them, which was tantamount to asking for their own death, so they had to wait until the evening to fight while the night was dark.

However, Huang Zhong and the others were not in a hurry to attack the city, not to mention that Zhao Xu had not yet arrived, they originally planned to trap Lu Bu and others in this lonely city. Xiaopei is just a small city, not to mention any moat, so Huang Zhong and the others are only stepping up to build siege vehicles and a large number of ladders, just waiting for Zhao Xu to arrive, when Lu Bu's army is disheartened, they can take it effortlessly.

LΓΌ Bu was in the city, and everywhere he went, he ordered the soldiers to be on strict guard, and if there was any military situation, he would report it immediately. After all, Lu Bu has also been on the battlefield for a long time, not only is it difficult to meet opponents in the world alone, but he also has a set of defending the city; Lu Bu also knew that Zhao Xu's army had many crossbowmen, and took advantage of the existing conditions in the city to make a large number of shields and door panels to resist bows and arrows, cut down trees in the city to make rolling logs, and set up a cauldron in the city, boiled the dung water in the city, and used waste oil, and dumped it when the city was sieged, and made all preparations, Lu Bu felt at ease.

Although the preparations for defending the city have been made, but after all, it can't last long, Lu Bu thought to himself: Xiaopei can't stay for a long time, and if it drags on, Zhao Xu, Huang Zhong and others will definitely know that there is not enough food and grass in Xiaopei City, and Keri will lead troops to attack the city, how can the small city last? Without further ado, I can only break through tonight, kill the bloody road, and rush to Huainan for help. As for the breakout, the key is to choose which path is the best way to break through. Lu Bu then asked Wang Kai: "Wang Kai, do you know which part of the enemy army has the fewest defenders?" ”

"General, Xiao Ke has just checked, and the small road on the southeast road of the city is weakly defended."

Wang Kai said that Lu Bu was frightened by Zhao Xu's scheme, and now he was more cautious, but he suddenly became suspicious and asked: "Huang Zhong is surrounded on all sides, why is the southeast trail not very vigilant?" ”

Wang Kai replied: "General, Xiaopei is flat on three sides, and it is easy for the army to camp, but the southeast valley trail is bumpy, and it is difficult to camp. The general can break out of the siege from this and throw himself into Huainan, and there is still hope of escape. ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu got up immediately, came to the southeast city wall and looked out carefully, sure enough, the army was sparse compared to other places, a small road led directly to the outside of the mountain, and there were only a few flags in the col; Suspecting that this was a suspicious plan deliberately set up by Zhao Xu, he made up his mind.

At the second watch of the night, Lu Bu led 500 soldiers to prepare to break through, and ordered all the soldiers to have a full meal. Lu Bu also had a full meal. Lu Bu straightened the purple and gold crown on his head, and straightened the beast-faced head-swallowing serial armor on his body, although he was not as majestic as he was back then, but he also had a domineering side leak when he straightened out his armor. Lu Bu got on the horse, raised Fang Tian's halberd, and even Wang Kai straightened his armor and was ready to go.

When he was young, Lu Bu led the army to the south gate, and the city gate was released, Lu Bu went out of the city first, and Wang Kai and other generals followed. Straight to the southeast path.

Who thought that there was an ambush on the southeast trail, Huang Zhong was not a careless person, he had expected that Lu Bu would break through, so he had set up his precautions early, knowing that the southeast trail was rugged, and he had already laid an ambush. Lu Bu's army just entered the southeast road, and when he didn't travel much, Chen arrived on the left side of the southeast road, and the head of the right side was Dianwei, and he clearly saw a line of troops coming from the line, and the person who led the halberd was undoubtedly Lu Bu. A little bit of counting is no more than 500 people at most. Chen Zhi and the others were secretly happy.

Lu Bu was in the middle of the line, suddenly a drum sounded, and in an instant, a high place in front of him was in flames, Dian Wei shouted, killed from the right, and took Lu Bu directly. Chen Zhi also shouted angrily, and killed from the left, "Kill-" A killing shout, attacked from three sides, and hugged the trail.

Lu Bu was also worried about the ambush, and had already prepared for the worst, beware of ambushes, and suddenly saw Dian Wei and Chen coming to kill, the golden drums on the mountain road sounded in unison, and the shouts were loud, and all the soldiers were terrified. Dian Wei suddenly led the army straight to Lu Bu, shouting: "The three surnamed slaves are leaving, surrender as soon as possible, so as not to die!" ”

Lu Bu was furious, and slapped his horse and halberd to fight Dian Wei. The battle is only three-fold, Chen to the left also came, and Dian Wei together to attack Lu Bu, Lu Bu is the vitality at this time, and he can resist it, when the battle is not long, seeing the siege on three sides, Lu Bu is anxious, and he kills Dian Wei and Chen to the two. Just take the road away.

In the midst of the fierce battle, another drum sounded, and Huang Zhong's horizontal knife immediately blocked Lu Bu's way and shouted: "Lu Buxiu go!" Behind him, Dian Wei and Chen arrived again, and Lu Bu had no intention of fighting, so he only cared about breaking through. The two armies were in a scuffle, although Lu Bu was brave, he couldn't break through, and he was besieged by Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Chen Zhi, the three major generals in the world, and Lu Bu couldn't support it, and he didn't dare to clash again. Immediately turn the horse's head and go back to the city.

All the troops shouted: "Don't go Lu Bu!" Lu Bu was frightened, and he didn't care about others, he fought hard and went straight to Xiaopei. Wang Kai is a scholar, what martial arts, at this time is already in danger, if not for the help of the generals next to him, he would have been killed by the soldiers in the chaos of the army, Chen to kill to chase Lu Bu, see Wang Kai, ride a horse straight to Wang Kai, Wang Kai was shocked, before the confrontation, Chen Zhisheng had already been captured. Lu Bu's 500 men and horses were also killed. The end has never gone through one.

Lu Bu fought to the death, and finally returned to the city, with less than a hundred soldiers left, and Wang Kai was gone, so he felt even more depressed, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The sky is eccentric!" Gave birth to me Lu Bu, why did you descend Zhao Xu again! After Lu Bu returned to the city, he was even more discouraged, and he couldn't eat all day long, couldn't sleep on the pillow, and was in a trance.
