Chapter 505: Jizhou Reinforcements (Ask for Subscription)
There was no danger of approaching the city wall, his left hand pulled and supported, jumped up, Lu Bu came to the city wall, and at this time, Dian Wei also climbed the city wall, brandishing a double halberd in the direction of Lu Bu, the defenders saw this, and rushed towards Dian Wei.
After climbing the city wall, Lu Bu did not stop painting the halberd in his hand, taking away the lives of a defender, in just a moment, the defenders who fell in front of Lu Bu had reached twenty people, and the rest of the defenders looked at Lu Bu with eyes full of fear, not to mention Lu Bu's oppressive height, just the sharp halberd method, which shocked them.
Lu Bu slaughtered all sides, and more and more guards gathered in the direction of Lu Bu.
With the cover of the state army on the city wall, more and more soldiers climbed the city wall, and in the face of several times the defenders, the soldiers of the state who climbed the city wall burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and when they knew that this battle was with Lu Bu, they were already boiling.
After Yuan Shao received the news that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu personally attacked the city, he ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill the west gate.
When Yuan Shao came to the west gate, the number of the Bingzhou army in the city had reached more than 300 people, and if it was a moment later, even if he led a large army, I am afraid it would be difficult to drive the Bingzhou army off the city wall.
"Kill!" Yuan Shao gave an order, and 3,000 soldiers were thrown into the West Gate.
With the addition of 3,000 soldiers, Zhang He also breathed a sigh of relief, that day in Youbeiping, Zhang He saw Lu Bu's strength, if he and Lu Bu fought alone, he categorically did not dare, and kept ordering the soldiers to pour arrow rain in the direction of Lu Bu, so as to block the pace of Lu Bu's attack.
The guards beside Lu Bu fell a lot under the bow and arrows, and Lu Bu was about to kill Zhang He, when he suddenly saw Yuan Shao leading a large army to come.
Ju Yi led the Dengzhi soldiers, and kept harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the state army in the city, with the protection of armor, they sometimes did not need to resist the swords and guns of the state army, but only kept stabbing the spears in their hands at the enemy.
The addition of the first dead soldier made the siege of the state army stunned, not that the state army was not brave, but that the first dead soldier was too powerful.
Seeing this, Lu Bu knew that it was impossible to capture Dangyin, I was afraid that Jia Xu would have to withdraw his troops later, and with himself on the city wall, it would be impossible for Jia Xu to let go of his hands and feet.
Lu Bu took the larger bow and arrow from the hand of the guard, put the bow on the arrow, and aimed it at Yuan Shao, a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, which may be an unattainable distance for ordinary archers.
"Be careful, lord!" Zhang He, who had been paying attention to Lu Bu's movements, shouted.
The arrow was still ten steps away from Yuan Shao at most, and Yuan Shao even saw the cold light on the arrow cluster, such a short distance, if you want to resist, you can't.
The guards guarding Yuan Shao's side blocked Yuan Shao's body without hesitation, and the arrows passed through the throats of the guards, and the powerful force directly penetrated the throat of the soldiers, and the blood sprayed on the neck wet Yuan Shao's slightly pale face, just at that moment, he already felt that death was so close to him.
"Protect the lord!" Zhu Ling shouted, and several guards protected Yuan Shao in the middle.
At this moment, the sound of gold in the Bingzhou army suddenly sounded, and the charging Bingzhou army also receded like a tide.
"Don't go, Lu Bu!" The panicked Yuan Shao yelled.
Lu Bu sneered and took the halberd, but none of the soldiers who stepped forward were spared.
"Shoot the arrows!" Yuan Shao, who was afraid, had never been so eager to kill Lu Bu.
The dense arrows came towards Lu Bu, and several guards stepped forward with shields, and the force from the dense arrows made them keep retreating.
"Withdraw!" Lu Bu let out a loud shout, and the guards guarding him began to retreat along the city wall.
Lu Bu took a deep look at Yuan Shao, turned over and jumped off the city wall, with crossbow arrows as a backing, and soon came to the city, at this time, the wooden boulders on the city seemed to be smashed madly towards the city, and the soldiers who were a little slower fell under the city.
"Strengthen the city walls and beware of the siege of the city by the state army." After Yuan Shao gave the order, he hurriedly left the city wall, because he saw that after the retreat of the Bingzhou army, the soldiers who operated the thunderbolt cart began their work again, throwing boulders at the city.
"Lord, after this battle, I am afraid that the defenders will strengthen the city defenses, and the Jizhou army is only three days away from Dangyin." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, if he could break the reinforcements in Jizhou, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the defenders in the city.
"How many are there?" Lu Bu asked.
"At the very least, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass and equipment escorted are not included, including bed crossbows." Jia Xu understood Lu Bu's intentions and said slowly.
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "Wenhe, Benhou wants to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to break the Jizhou reinforcements. ”
Jia Xu shook his head, "Lord, at this time, there are still more than 10,000 troops in the city, and there are such elites as the first dead soldiers, if the lord leads the army to go, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops, and the autumn rain continues, and the army is not easy to raid." ”
Looking at Jia Xu's confident expression, Lu Bu asked, "Wen He has a strategy to break the enemy?" ”
Jia Xu nodded and whispered.
Lu Bu frowned slightly, and then nodded, "Just take Wenhe." ”
Since the siege of the city that day, the heavy rain has not stopped for several days, and the state army has also stopped attacking Dangyin, which makes the defenders in the city breathe a sigh of relief, and the feeling of fear is very uncomfortable.
The continuous rain also made the original three-day journey go for five days.
In the city of Dangyin, you can see water everywhere, the whole city is also stuck in the mud, in addition to the two roads that run through the east and west, north and south, the other roads are still dirt roads, every rainy day, there is a lot of water, at this time it has reached late autumn, night and early morning, it has become cold, the soldiers of the Jizhou army are still wearing summer clothes, the soldiers guarding the city are the hardest, in the past, the town guarded, even at night, after leaving the sentry, most of the soldiers can still get rest, now the weather is so cold, Sleeping has also become a lot more difficult.
Since getting the news that the army of Jizhou went to Dangyin, Yuan Shao ordered the soldiers to closely investigate the movements of the Bingzhou army, and the materials transported from Jizhou not only have sharp weapons such as bed crossbows, but also grain and grass, as for the soldiers' clothes, they can barely make do with it, and the soldiers in the army are also used to this, unless it is winter, the soldiers' clothes can only be summer.
The reinforcements and materials of 20,000 Jizhou are extremely important for the army in the city, and there is no room for loss, and the successive rainy days also make Yuan Shao's mood inexplicably irritable, especially walking on the wet road in the city, and he is a little uncomfortable.

It's New Year's Day, and I wish you all a happy holiday!
