Chapter 158: Those who put down their weapons can live
Lu Bu dismounted and beckoned Zhao Yun and the others to the open space behind the formation.
He didn't invite Xun You, Xu Huang, and Li Dian over, and only Zhao Yun and other confidants in front of him were in front of him.
"I'm going to talk to Yang Hong, did Xun Gongda instigate the whole line to attack?" Lu Bu asked.
"Wen Hou really knows him." Zhang Liao replied: "Wen Hou just left here, and he told us over there that in case Yang Hong tries to be unfavorable to Wen Hou, our army should attack on the right line." was rejected by me and Zilong, his face was really not good-looking at the time. β
"If his face is good-looking, I don't know how many soldiers will die on the battlefield." Lu Bu said: "Talking to Xun Gongda, you have to have more eyes." β
"Wen Hou, don't worry, we are not stupid." Zhao Yun replied: "It's not so easy for him to trick us. β
"In an hour, I will lead the army to attack the city, and you two will be ready." Lu Bu looked at the Shouchun city wall: "Before dawn tomorrow, I will let the head of Shouchun City be filled with our army's battle flag!" β
"Is Wen Hou sure to break the city overnight?" Zhang Liao didn't believe it: "Although the enemy army has no fighting will, but the city of Shouchun is deep and deep, and it is not so easy for our army to climb." β
"Of course, it is not easy for the enemy to hold on, but if they have no intention of fighting, do you think it will be easy?" Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "When I go to the city, it will be when Shouchun City is broken." β
Zhang Liao and the others looked at each other, and they all had a feeling that Lu Bu was too contemptuous of the Shouchun defenders......
An hour flies.
The Red Rabbit Horse stayed behind the array, and Lu Bu stood in front of the large array with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd.
Behind him were the officers and men of the three armed forces who had long been ready.
In front of each column of soldiers was a long ladder.
Lu Bu drew a halberd in front of his finger and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, kill with me!" β
At the same time as the order was given, Lu Bu took the lead in rushing out.
Like a torrent, the soldiers rushed after him towards the city wall.
The tidal army was getting closer and closer to the city walls, and when they came within range of their arrows, the Huainan army defending the city opened their longbows and fired feathered arrows.
Strangely enough, only a few arrows were fired at the charging soldiers, and many more flew over their heads.
was ready to open the arrows, but Lu Bu found that there was no need at all.
Glancing at the city, from the trajectory of the arrows, he judged that the Huainan army had no intention of responding to the battle.
Many Huainan soldiers did not know whether they intended or not, and raised the angle of their bows and arrows up a lot.
The closer the army was to the city wall, the higher the arrows fired by the Huainan army flew.
At first, there were a few people who would fly into the charge, but then they all flew over the heads of the soldiers and landed in the clearing behind them.
The ladder was set up at the head of the city, and Lu Bu was the first to climb.
It stands to reason that the Huainan army defending the city should have thrown boulders or rolling logs, but he didn't see any equipment trying to stop the army from ascending the city.
The ascent to the city went very smoothly.
When Lu Bu stood at the head of the city, the Huainan army in front of him threw their weapons on the ground and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
The soldiers who climbed the upper wall were stunned to find that the battle they were expecting had not happened at all.
What was waiting for them at the head of the city was just a group of Huainan troops squatting with their heads in their hands.
Resist?
Not that there is almost none, but that there is no encounter at all!
"Those who resist will not be killed, and those who put down their weapons will live!" Carrying Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu walked on the head of the city.
The Huainan troops he met along the way threw down their weapons one after another, and the soldiers who climbed the city wall collected their weapons all over the ground and escorted the surrendered Huainan troops to one place to guard.
At the beginning of the battle, Yang Hong, who was still counting on the desperate resistance of the Huainan army, soon found that the soldiers had no intention of resisting Lu Bu at all.
Everywhere LΓΌ Bu passed, the Huainan army there would drop their weapons and surrender to him.
When he came to Yang Hong, there were only a few dozen Huainan troops left by Yang Hong's side.
When Lu Bu led the army to charge, the shouts of the soldiers shook the sky.
But when they reached the top of the city, Shouchun City was shrouded in deathly tranquility.
The quiet aura made Xun You and the others, who were watching the battle from afar, hold their breath.
Looking at the city wall, Zhao Yun asked Zhang Liao: "Why is it so quiet?" How can it look like a fight? β
"Yes, it's strange...... Zhang Liao responded: "Wen Hou was the first to climb the city wall, and it stands to reason that there will be at least one fight, but I feel as if I didn't ......fight at all."
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao guessed what was happening in the city, and Xun You, who had already expected Lu Bu to seize Shouchun, said to Xu Huang and Li Dian: "Lu Feng first said that he would take Shouchun early tomorrow morning, I think he is a little conservative. β
"There is no movement at the head of the city, can he still fight without blood?" Xu Huang couldn't believe that someone could attack a city without going through a fight, and take a city just by deterrence.
"He's really bloodless." Xun You shook his head: "Back to Xudu, we have to remind the lord to beware of Lu Fengxian." He is very different from the past, and if he is left unchecked for too long, sooner or later he will become a disaster! β
"What does Duke Xun mean to ask the lord to send troops to attack Lu Fengxian?" Li Dian asked in a low voice.
"There must be an excuse to crusade against Lu Fengxian." Xun You shook his head: "It is said that Hebei Yuan Benchu broke Yi Jing, and Gongsun Zan died by self-immolation. Hebei was pacified, the Yuan family was in full swing, and the lord blocked their path to the south. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Cao and Yuan families, and I guess the lord will still let Lu Bu go. After all, compared with the Yuan family in Hebei, he is just an itch in the skin, and the Yuan family is a big problem. β
"I think that if Lu Fengxian continues to grow, he may be more difficult to deal with than the Yuan family in Hebei." Li Dian replied: "Lu Bu is entrenched in Xuzhou, if the Cao and Yuan families really go to war, he will ...... from behind."
Li Dian sighed: "At that time, I'm afraid that the lord will be overwhelmed and difficult to deal with." β
"That's what I'm worried about." Xun You frowned: "Crusade against Huainan, he actually asked the lord for so many benefits." The two generals also saw that since he came to Huainan, had he fought a decent battle? β
Xu Huang and Li Dian glanced at each other.
"Although he has never fought a decent battle, he can defeat the enemy army without bloodshed every time, and this is the real most important place." Xu Huang said: "I can force the enemy to surrender just by force, and I think I will never be able to do it." β
Xun You didn't speak again, just nodded silently.
On the city wall, Lu Bu came to Yang Hong.
The Huainan army in front of Yang Hong all looked nervous, and one of them even dropped his weapon to the ground.
When the weapon landed, he hurriedly picked it up again.
Holding the weapon and pointing at Lu Bu, he was trembling all over.
"Put down your weapons and live, and those who resist will die!" Staring at Yang Hong, Lu Bu said coldly.
Dozens of Huainan soldiers were Yang Hong's personal entourage.
They didn't lay down their weapons.
But Yang Hong said at this time: "Put down your weapons." β
