The boulder shot by the catapult attacking the city, with raindrops falling from the sky, like a meteor with a white tail, smashed the city wall, and immediately hit a wave of blood and flew up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The few defenders who didn't have time to dodge had already become meat pies, and all the blood in their bodies was squeezed out in just a moment, and the splattered blood plasma quickly turned into a cloud of blood mist, slowly drifting towards the city.

Collapsed wall bricks were everywhere, and the soldiers who had broken their legs were desperately wailing, but at this moment his voice was all suppressed, and there was a constant loud sound of flying stones falling to the ground on the city wall, as well as the shouts of killing under the walls, the sound of swords colliding, the breaking of siege ladders, and the whistling of arrows passing by.

Zhang Liao stood tall on the city wall of Xiapi, his momentum was like a god of war descending to earth, the crescent halberd in his hand was constantly slashing and killing the enemy soldiers who climbed the wall, and his whole body seemed to have been soaked in a dye vat of blood, and his armor, robes, and even his hair were wrapped in a layer of bright purple red.

Under the city wall in front of Zhang Liao, there were already mountains of corpses, and at this moment, there were still soldiers who had been cut in two, and then fell heavily on the mountain of corpses that had become mud.

Frightened!

Zhang Liao shouted violently, and a halberd split the siege ladder that hooked the wall, and the soldiers on the ladder immediately fell to the rear, and soon drowned in a mud under the city.

When the other two soldiers on the siege ladder saw Zhang Liao's glaring eyes, they were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and one was unstable, and he actually stumbled and fell.

A scream came from the right side, Zhang Liao turned his head to look, and saw a warrior in black armor cutting off one of his own personal soldiers, who was wearing heavy armor, and could divide people so easily, this person must be very brave.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, and the halberd moved a few steps sideways, gradually approaching the black-armored warrior.

The black-armored warrior had already killed four people at this moment, and it seemed that he also sensed the danger approaching, so he raised the big sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Zhang Liao's door.

"Who's coming? Do you dare to report your name? Zhang Liao saw that the other party was not an ordinary person, and immediately asked.

Cao Ang wore a dark face armor and replied lightly: "The besieging soldiers, why do you need names, the general Hugh has to ask more, it is better for his subordinates to see the real chapter!" ”

As soon as Cao Ang's voice fell, he immediately followed the sword and stabbed Zhang Liao's door.

Zhang Liao sneered, raised his halberd to block the sword, and kicked it out with a kick when he changed hands, and then retracted the halberd and slashed horizontally.

Cao Ang saw that the crescent halberd was coming quickly, and he raised his sword to block it, and a metal impact pierced both of them with a little pain in their ears.

Zhang Liao was shocked at the moment, because on his crescent halberd, a piece of iron was cut off by the opponent's long sword, it seems that the long sword must be a sharp weapon, so it is certain that the other party is definitely not a nameless, and he immediately had the idea of capturing the other party alive in his heart.

After a few confrontations, if Cao Ang hadn't relied on his youth, I'm afraid he would have confessed a long time ago, and Zhang Liao had always wanted to capture him alive, so his subordinates were a little lighter.

The two fought on the city wall for a long time, and they didn't even win or lose.

Zhang Liao saw that there were constantly siege soldiers climbing the wall around him, and he was suddenly a little anxious, so he deliberately sold a flaw to the other party, completely exposing his chest.

Cao Ang was really overjoyed, stabbed straight with a sword, and slammed into the other party's heart, but suddenly found that the other party actually lifted the crescent halberd upside down and used the end of the halberd to insert it into his back.

A dull sound sounded, but the spikes at the end of the halberd could not penetrate Cao Ang's armor.

Zhang Liao was taken aback, and only then did he know that the other party was not only powerful in weapons, but the armor on his body was not an ordinary treasure, but he couldn't find an opportunity anymore, and the other party instantly retreated four or five steps away.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, and the position where Zhang Liao was standing collapsed, and his body fell lightly.

But at this moment, I saw that the enemy general who was fighting with him just now stretched out a hand and firmly grabbed his shoulder, and after he stopped his falling figure, the black-armored warrior had fled far away.

Zhang Liao wondered for a while, what kind of mentality is this person? Didn't you get dazed by the war?

Suddenly, there was a sound of gold in Cao Cao's camp, and the soldiers who had already attacked the wall were immediately at a loss, and a few who reacted slowly were all cut down to the ground by the soldiers defending the city in an instant.

In a short time, the besieging army under the city gradually retreated like a tide, and a brief moment of truce finally came.

Zhang Liao exhaled heavily, and then stood the crescent halberd in his hand on the wall, and he sat under the battlements with some detachment, the high bridge of his nose and the fine hair were still flowing blood, and he even had the strength to wipe his face.

The rain was still pouring down, but the red blood on the ground could not be washed away, and the seriously wounded soldiers were still wailing loudly, but there was nothing that could really help them.

"General, can we win?" Suddenly, a soldier with a bloody face leaned over and asked a clueless question.

Zhang Liao squinted at the soldier, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his thin body was even a little unstable in his hand.

This must be the son of a certain military household, the most solid force defending the city now is these veterans of the military household who have followed them from beginning to end, and when they die, their son will be on top, and the soldier in front of him is probably childless.

There is no hope!

Thinking of Chen Gong's words, there was a trace of bitterness in Zhang Liao's mouth.

When he heard that Cao Cao sent people to dig the waterway, Chen Gong subconsciously said this, and at that moment, Zhang Liao only saw that the wise man's face was full of horror.

It won't be long before Xiapi will be flooded, even if Chen Gong doesn't say it, with Zhang Liao's wisdom, he can guess it himself.

"If this battle is over, boy, you can unload your armor and return to the field, no matter who wins or loses." After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he lifted the crescent halberd, and then walked down the city wall, Chen Gong said that maybe there was still salvation, and he went to listen to how he would arrange it next?

Chen Gong sat on Lu Bu's left hand position, he was already a little angry, and now that the enemy was in front of him, Lu Bu had whipped a general.

Hou Cheng, as one of the eight strong generals in the army, is a mainstay in his own right, but Lu Bu was injured by alcohol, so he issued a ban on alcohol, but because of negligence, he only conveyed it to a few people around him, so Hou Cheng didn't know at all.

Hou Cheng's subordinates stole the war horse and fled, Hou Cheng was furious, rode out of the city to pursue, chased back the fifteen war horses, and personally killed the deserter, and the brothers congratulated, so Hou Cheng was overjoyed to make wine to celebrate, and gave Lu Bu a few altars, which immediately made Lu Bu furious, and whipped Hou Cheng in public.

This is naturally a normal thing on weekdays, but now it is the time when everyone needs to serve the dead, so it is really inappropriate to humiliate a veteran like this, so Chen Gong hurriedly came over to dissuade Lu Bu, who knew that Lu Bu actually drank all the wine offered by Hou Cheng and put Hou Cheng in prison.

Now looking at Lu Bu who was drunk and unconscious, Chen Gong only felt the green tendons on his head, and he wanted to be angry but didn't know where to start, it seemed that Xiapi was hopeless, and he originally wanted to offer advice to let Lu Bu lead the army to kill and destroy the waterway being built by the river, but now Chen Gong was like ashes and didn't want to say anything.

Sighing and coming to the door, he happened to meet Zhang Liao, Chen Gong was stunned, and could only continue to shake his head and sigh.

Zhang Liao stopped Chen Gong and asked suspiciously, "Didn't the military advisor say that there was a good plan?" Why are you leaving now? ”

Chen Gong pointed to Lu Bu, who was snoring like thunder in the room, and then shook his head with a sigh, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Liao glanced at the unconscious Lu Bu, frowned, and then said to Chen Gong: "If the military advisor has any arrangements, it is better to let me do it, and I will definitely live up to my mission." ”

Chen Gong sighed and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder, and then said with a wry smile: "Everything is over, even if you can escape the catastrophe this time, there will definitely be a time when you can't escape in the future, General Zhang should think about the future now." ”

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment and said: "Zhang Liao has been following Ding Jianyang since the lord left Ding Jianyang, and it is really unbearable to abandon him at this time. ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Now only Lu Bu owes you, and you Zhang Liao don't owe him anything." ”

Zhang Liao was stunned, Chen Gong actually called Lu Bu's name, it seemed that this military advisor had really been centrifuged, but after taking another look at Lu Bu who was drunk and unconscious in the room, he himself sighed helplessly.

Chen Gong saw Zhang Liao's expression, so he continued: "Cao Cao has been attacking the city in the past few days, just don't want us to have the energy to destroy the construction of those waterways, I expected it to be good, I'm afraid that the waterway will be repaired in the next two days, and when they lead the river to flood, Xiapi will not be saved, and Lu Bu whipped General Hou Cheng, this matter will inevitably arouse resentment in the army, and now even the gods can't save it, alas." ”

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment again, and suddenly arched his hand: "It's better for Liao to escort the military division out of the city now, if you kill from the east gate and then retreat towards the East China Sea, you will definitely be able to keep it safe." ”

Chen Gong shook his head slightly, and said: "Although Cao Cao is treacherous, he is also a generation of heroes, General Zhang Liao might as well consider taking refuge in Cao Cao, so it is convenient for you to show your ambitions, so you don't have to flee, waiting to break the city, General Zhang has always been loyal, Cao Cao must have heard of it, as long as the general is still acting as now, Cao Cao will inevitably recruit you, you just need to push the boat down the river and take refuge in the past." ”

Zhang Liao seems to be a little embarrassed, which always feels a little contrary to his principles, he is not a flattering person, and he is only friendly with Gao Shun in Lu Bu's army, because the two are not good at words, so they speculate with each other, and it is also because of this character that Lu Bu has not been taken seriously.

Chen Gong saw Zhang Liao showing a look of embarrassment, and suddenly said: "General Zhang must not hesitate, if there is chaos today, the people are not happy, my generation of men should take the stability of the world as their own responsibility, so even Cao Cao has the ambition of usurping the Han like Dong Zhuo, at least it can be regarded as achieving the goal, as long as General Zhang is not loyal to the Han family, why not?" ”

Zhang Liao naturally didn't have a good impression of the Han family, and when he was a county official in Yanmen Mayi, he had already seen that the Han family was seized by eunuchs, and he had already been hollowed out of his huge body, and now he was just surviving.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao nodded, which was considered to be recognized, and said to Chen Gong in an instant: "It is better for the military advisor to join me to join Cao Cao, so that at least ......"

Chen Gong waved his hand and said: "There is no room for maneuver between me and Cao Cao, he killed my friend Bian Rang in anger back then, and he has been a passerby since then, and he has no regrets." ”

Zhang Liao stopped saying a word, and then looked at Chen Gong leaning over and walking out slowly, so he looked back at Lu Bu again, sighed deeply, and walked out.

Three days later, Yuan Yun finally dug up the channels of Yishui and Surabaya, and the water poured directly down the channel, the water in the city overflowed to the waist, the grain and grass reserves were all soaked, and some fortifications were also destroyed, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

A few days later, an expected accident suddenly occurred in the city of Xiapi, Hou Cheng saw that the city was flooded, Xiapi obviously couldn't hold it, and was angry that Lu Bu was whipped in public, so he was ready to tie up Lu Bu out of the city to surrender to Cao Cao, but at this time Lu Bu's like a bird with a frightened bow, the precautions were very strict, Hou Cheng felt that he couldn't fight hard, so he retreated, and tied up Chen Gong and Gao Shun, and opened the west gate, went out of the city and surrendered to Cao Cao.

The whole way went quite smoothly, Hou Cheng just wondered why Chen Gong did not fight hard like Gao Shun when he was kidnapped, and directly chose to be arrested, and even told them to go directly to the west gate, and there was no need to detour from the east gate guarded by Zhang Liao.

Cao Cao saw that Hou Cheng took Song Xian, Wei Xu and others to bind Chen Gong and Gao Shun to vote, and was overjoyed, and after some comfort, he began to command the army to prepare for the siege.

After Lu Bu learned the news, he thought that Chen Gong and Hou Cheng and others went out of the city to surrender to Cao, and immediately became furious, and after regaining control of the West Gate, he was ready to fight Cao Cao to the end, and every day he broke his mouth on the city wall and scolded Chen Gong, Hou Cheng and others for being traitors.

Chen Gong was imprisoned in Cao Ying, and when he heard Lu Bu scolding him so much, he just shook his head with a wry smile, and even had some sarcasm on his face, he was not defeated by heaven and earth, but by this useless Lu Bu, he was discouraged and just wanted to die quickly.

After a few more days, Xiapi finally broke the city, Lu Bu wanted to escape, but the red rabbit horse was also stolen by Hou Cheng and others and sent to Cao Cao, plus Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others were no longer there, so the speed of the four gates of Xiapi was far faster than he thought, so he was caught off guard and finally became a prisoner.

At this point, the Battle of Xuzhou was over.
