Chapter 157: A Problem for Him
Lu Bu's soldiers approached the city, and the defenders were all panicked.
Even Yang Hong had the idea of surrendering.
Most of the troops arrayed outside the city were outlaws, in addition to Lu Bu, there were also three fierce generals, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi.
Standing on the city wall, Yang Hong had already seen Chen Zhi standing in front of the array.
If he hadn't served Lu Bu, even if he hadn't been killed, at least he would have been in custody.
There are more than 20,000 defenders in Shouchun City, but the morale of the soldiers on both sides is obviously not at the same level.
The morale of the army besieging Shouchun was like a rainbow, and standing at the head of the city, you could feel the strong murderous aura coming from the big array.
The defenders at the head of the city were miserable and panicked, and when Lu Bu came to the city, many of the defenders held their breath, and their expressions showed panic that could not be concealed.
The morale is not equal, and there is no way to fight this battle.
Yang Hong is well aware of the situation he is facing now.
Once the two sides start a war, it is difficult to say how long the defenders will be able to withstand the enemy's attack.
Lu Bu only brought two hundred people to the city, and Yang Hong faintly sensed the opportunity.
He instructed the junior colonel next to him: "Order the archers, wait for my order, and be ready to shoot Lu Bu at any time." ”
The junior colonel went to convey the military order, and Yang Hong asked Lu Bu: "Wen Hou is so close to the city wall, if I give the order to shoot arrows, do you really think you can escape death?" ”
"Escaped death?" Lu Bu shook his head and pouted: "This word is not used well, not to mention that there are only a few archers in the city, even if there are countless arrows, what can you do to me?" Since I dared to come, I was never afraid that you would cast a cold arrow. ”
He had also had several contacts with Lu Bu, and Yang Hong had long felt that he was very different from before the Battle of Xuzhou.
Before the Battle of Xuzhou, Lu Bu could only see the immediate benefits when doing things.
After that great battle, he behaves now and behaves like he did in the past.
If he didn't have any preparations, it was indeed impossible for him to come to see Yang Hong easily.
"Yang Gong!" The captain who gave the order ran behind Yang Hong: "The archers are ready, just wait for an order." ”
Yang Hong ignored him, but asked Lu Bu outside the city wall: "I don't know what General Lu has prepared?" ”
"What else do I need to prepare?" Lu Bu pretended to be dazed and asked him, "Isn't it the best preparation for me to come here to talk to you?" ”
Lu Bu responded very confidently, and Yang Hong was stunned.
He's here to be the best preparation......
"When General Lu said this, it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant." Yang Hong replied: "I know the general's ability, and I also believe that the general can take the rank of general in the ten thousand armies, but the defenders are numerous, and ten thousand arrows are fired together, even the general may not have a reason to survive." ”
Lu Bu laughed: "Does General Yang not believe it? ”
Standing on the city wall and confronting Lu Bu from afar, Yang Hong shook his head: "I really don't believe it!" ”
"I really don't believe it, the general can try." Lu Bu shouted: "But there are some things I still have to tell the general first." ”
If Lu Bu didn't say this and let him try, Yang Hong might really order the arrows to be released.
The more calm he became, the more bottomless Yang Hong's heart became.
"Before giving the order to release the arrows, General Yang must be prepared." Sure enough, Lu Bu then shouted: "Once you try to kill me with a secret arrow, when I break through Shouchun, I will let no grass grow here!" ”
There was no joke on the battlefield, and Lu Bu shouted this sentence in public, which would definitely not be a mouthful.
When the defenders of the city heard this, they all looked at each other, and the arrows were tied to the bowstring, and many even had plans to put it down.
Looking around, Yang Hong noticed that the defenders were not in the right mood.
The idea of shooting Lu Bu was forced down by him.
The defenders were afraid of Lu Bu, and his threat clearly played a role.
Forcibly ordering to be shot, in case Lu Bu really escapes, it is likely to cause panic in Shouchun City.
"General Lu is here just to say this?" Yang Hong said: "I have followed His Majesty for many years, although he is no longer there, but the Huainan Yuan family has deep roots, and it is not that you can recruit us with a few words." ”
"Good!" Rejected by Yang Hong, Lu Bu shouted: "Have backbone!" I just like loyal and brave people like General Yang. ”
Raising the halberd and pointing at the head of the city, Lu Bu continued: "An hour later, the army will attack the city, and for the backbone of General Yang, I will spare the soldiers and civilians of Shouchun." As long as you are willing to put down your weapons and do not resist, you will not be killed! ”
After speaking, he beckoned to the two hundred sword shield men: "Let's go!" ”
Lu Bu turned around, but Yang Hong was full of black lines.
Before leaving, he actually dropped such a sentence, which was nothing more than disintegrating the fighting spirit of the Huainan army.
The soldiers were in awe of Lu Bu, since they could not die, who would choose to resist to the end?
"Don't believe Lu Bu!" Finding that the mood of the defenders fluctuated again, Yang Hong shouted loudly: "He has always been treacherous, and it is absolutely impossible to do what he promised." Once Shouchun City is broken, none of us will survive! ”
The city was quiet, and not a single soldier in the city was silent.
Lu Bu promised to spare them from dying, and everyone had hopes for survival.
Many even secretly planned that once the enemy army climbed to the top of the city, they would immediately throw away their weapons and surrender.
A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, who turned to leave.
He didn't look back, and even if he did, it was impossible to see the expressions of the defenders at the head of the city.
But he could feel that the fighting spirit of the defenders was disintegrating, and once the army began to attack the city, the destruction of Shouchun City was only a snap of his fingers.
Lu Bu came back, and Zhao Yun and the others stepped forward.
"Wen Hou." Several people stepped forward to greet them.
"Prepare, in an hour, our army will attack the city." Lu Bu commanded the people.
Along with Zhao Yun and the others, there was Xun You.
He asked Lu Bu: "What did Marquis Wen say to Yang Hong under the city wall?" Why didn't he even release an arrow, and let Wen Hou come and go freely? You must know that Wen Hou's departure and return are a great dampening to the morale of the Huainan army. ”
"Of course I know that this will dampen the morale of the Huainan army." Lu Bu smiled: "I gave Yang Hong a problem just now, let me come and go freely, the morale of the defenders will be greatly dampened." If you give me the order to shoot me, you don't know if it's as simple as demoralizing. ”
Xu Huang and Li Dian were confused and glanced at each other, but Xun You suddenly suddenly realized: "Wen Hou really gave Yang Hong a big problem." ”
He then asked Lu Bu: "Dare to ask Wen Hou, how long will it take to break through Shouchun?" ”
"Tonight." Lu Bu didn't think about it: "Early tomorrow morning, I will invite Xun Gong into the city for breakfast." ”
"What if I don't break Shouchun tonight?" Xun Yu didn't say anything, and Xu Huang asked.
"If I can't break through Shouchun, I will ask General Xu to replace me." Lu Bu grinned at him: "I believe that General Xu's ability is stronger than mine, and I ask the general not to shirk when the time comes." ”
originally planned to force Lu Bu to make a military order, but he didn't expect him to reply with such a sentence, Xu Huang suddenly felt depressed and didn't know what to say.
