Chapter 156: It's not fun to call around

The rising sun sometimes brings not only vigor, but also death.

Outside Shouchun City, Lu Bu led 20,000 soldiers to line up facing the city wall.

The soldiers were neatly groomed, and the blades in their hands were shining, reflecting patches of light in the sun.

The bright thorny defenders of the city could barely open their eyes, and some even had to look away to see the enemy lined up on the opposite side.

Yang Hong stood at the head of the city, holding a pergola in his hand and looking at the army outside the city.

In terms of numbers, the defenders were not much different from the large army arrayed outside the city.

The art of war has been accurately calculated, and the number of people who attack the city must exceed five times that of the defenders before it is possible to break the city.

Lu Bu only brought 20,000 people to Shouchun, and wanted to break through the city defended by 20,000 Huainan troops.

However, Yang Hong at the head of the city, when he looked at the enemy army outside the city, his heart was empty.

There are indeed many warriors in the Huainan army.

It is a pity that the successive setbacks have made the officers and men of the Huainan Army lose confidence in the future battle.

An army without faith is nothing more than a walking corpse when a strong enemy comes to attack.

Not to mention turning defeat into victory, even if it is just to resist the attack of the enemy army, there is not much possibility to count on them.

Riding a red rabbit horse, Lu Bu was carrying Fang Tian's halberd and was about to step forward.

Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him: "Wen Hou, wait a minute." ”

Lu Bu turned his head to look at him.

"What is Wen Hou going to do?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Since you have come to Shouchun, you always have to say something to Yang Hong." Lu Bu replied.

"What is Yang Hong? It's also worth Wen Hou to talk to him? Zhao Yun said: "What Wen Hou wants to say, I'll pass it on." ”

"Are you worried about what he's going to do to me?" Lu Bu smiled indifferently.

"Wen Hou went alone, it's hard to guarantee that Yang Hong won't do anything." Zhao Yun said: "It's okay to go, at least take me." ”

"Take you?" Lu Bu smiled and patted his arm: "I use a halberd and you use a spear, neither of us has a shield." The two of them went over together to give them an extra target? ”

"Uh......" Zhao Yun was choked by his words, not knowing what to say.

Lu Bu instructed the guards next to him: "Order, select two hundred sword and shield hands, and accompany me to the front of the city wall to make waves!" ”

Approaching the city wall, the defenders had ample chances to shoot him, but Lu Bu said it lightly, which couldn't help but make people feel awe.

Xun You, who came to monitor him on Cao Cao's orders, also leaned in: "What does Wen Hou have to say, find someone to pass it on, why do you need to take risks in person?" ”

"How can you destroy the minds of the defenders by letting others spread the word?" Lu Bu said: "If they want to completely lose the belief in fighting, the only way is for me to talk to Yang Hong." ”

Lu Bu personally stepped forward to talk, which was indeed a great bruise to the defenders' faith.

But Zhao Yun and the others are still very worried.

Although two hundred sword and shield men are enough to form a tiny shield wall, the disadvantage of being too small is that this shield wall has limited defensive capabilities.

The slightest deviation can cause irreversible damage.

Of course, Zhao Yun and the others didn't want Lu Bu to take the risk personally.

Gently patted Zhao Yun's arm again, but Lu Bu looked at Xun You: "Don't worry, how much ability I have, don't you know?" ”

Pointing to the Shouchun city wall, Lu Bu continued: "If Yang Hong dares to release cold arrows at me, I can make him regret being born by his mother!" ”

Two hundred sword and shield hands were ready, and Lu Bu beckoned: "Go!" ”

Seeing Lu Bu's back, the faces of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the others were very solemn.

Xun You said to Zhao Yun and the others: "Several generals, Wen Hou is in danger, do we have to prepare for the whole army to attack." In case ......"

"No whatever!" Zhao Yun refused: "Wen Hou wants me and General Zhang to sit in the Chinese army, he has explained before, but all the use of troops must be approved by him." Wen Hou did not give an order, so we could only stand still. ”

When Lu Bu was there, Xun You couldn't convince him.

thought that Zhao Yun and others could be used to worry about Lu Bu, and prompted the Qingzhou army to rush to the city wall and cause large-scale attrition.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun and the others forbade Lu Bu, even if they knew that he was doing an extremely dangerous thing, they did not lose their proportions.

"Has General Zhao ever thought about it, in case Wen Hou has three long and two short ......" Xun You was still trying to persuade Zhao Yun and the others.

"Xun Gong doesn't need to say much." Zhang Liao next to him interjected: "Wen Hou has explained, we will never go against his wishes." If he is in danger, I will be the first to rush to the rescue. ”

"I'll go too." Zhao Yun then chimed in.

Chen Zhi was about to speak, but Zhang Liao said to him: "General Shuzhi, if there is really that moment, please wait for us to suppress the three armies, no matter who instigates it, you can't lead the army to charge." ”

It has been seen that the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao is delicate, and it has also been seen that Xun Youming actually has other intentions in secret, and Chen Zhi responded without hesitation.

Zhang Liao couldn't have made it clearer.

To persuade them to attack is to encourage them.

As soon as you talk about the same topic, you can be considered ill-intentioned, and it is very difficult to convince a person in such a situation.

What's more, what Xun You wants to convince is not just one person, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

Knowing that it was impossible, Xun You shook his head and sighed: "Several generals are willing to sit back and watch Wen Hou fall into danger, what else can I say......"

While he was talking to Zhao Yun and the others, Lu Bu came to a place just over twenty steps away from the city wall with two hundred sword and shield men.

At the head of the city, the Huainan army stretched out its bow and aimed at the people under the city.

Lu Bu looked up at the city: "General Yang is not here?" ”

Yang Hong knew that he was looking for him.

In order not to lose momentum, he responded: "General Lu is so close to the city wall, aren't you afraid that I will order you to be shot?" ”

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lu Bu replied very calmly: "My ability, General Yang knows, not to mention that there are only a few people in the city, even if the arrows that fall are denser than raindrops, it is impossible to hurt me in the slightest." ”

Of course, Yang Hong knew about Lu Bu's martial arts.

But he didn't believe anyone could survive the rain of arrows.

Not to mention that Lu Bu was only carrying Fang Tian's halberd, even if he had a huge shield, there was no guarantee that he would not be shot by arrows.

Lu Bu personally came outside the city wall, he must have something to say.

Yang Hong didn't plan to greet him much, so he cut straight to the topic: "General Lu is here, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Surrender." Lu Bu said: "General Yang also knows that I have a straight temper and a good heart, and I really can't bear to watch the Shouchun defenders being slaughtered. If you can live, why do you have to die? Take refuge in me, and I promise to make your life more nourishing than ever. It's really not interesting to call around. ”
