Chapter 747: Changli City Breaks
Lu Bu glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Benhou Xing's troops attacked Liaodong Buchen, and now Liaodong Gongsun Du doesn't know the mandate of heaven, and he wants to confront our army, Changli City, it will be broken within three days." ”
When everyone heard this, they knew that Lu Bu was really on fire, the Youzhou army had 30,000 people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass was innumerable, even with the support of Sun Guang, the Taishou of Liaoxi, but the grain and grass in Liaoxi were limited, and the city in the hands of Sun Guang was only Yangle.
The defenders in Changli City can fight no more than 3,000 people, and when the Youzhou army invested more than 3,000 troops on the three walls of the west and south of the city and the north of the city, the defenders felt the huge pressure.
In the early stage of the siege, they did not have an advantage, with the suppression of the Thunderbolt Car, and then the threat of the Jing Yan soldiers, the defenders were barely able to make some responses, and after the soldiers who really caused casualties to the Youzhou army besieging the city were attacked on the city wall, then the Thunderbolt would not throw boulders, and the defenders were able to deal with it calmly.
However, the Youzhou army that attacked the head of the city was terrible, they showed that they were not afraid of death, some soldiers of the Youzhou army did not retreat even if they were injured, and some soldiers dared to jump off the city wall directly with the enemy.
"Where is Gao Shun?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"The subordinates are here."
"You lead the soldiers of the trapped camp into battle." Lu Bu ordered, at this time, the defenders in the east of the city have been steadily suppressed, according to past experience, at this time, the defenders in the city will almost go to support, as long as the soldiers trapped in the camp give the defenders a fatal blow, it will not be difficult to break.
"Whoa." Gao Shun ordered the soldiers of the camp to run quickly in the direction of the city wall, and the defenders were too busy to take care of themselves, so naturally they would not do anything when they attacked the city.
"Order Huang Zhong to lead the cavalry to pay close attention to the movements of Changli City, as long as the defenders abandon the city and chase and kill them, they must not leave Gongsun Kang." Lu Bu ordered, Gongsun Kang is too important to Liaodong, if Gongsun Kang Sheng can be captured alive, it will be much easier to fight Liangdong, judging from the information obtained, Gongsun Du attaches great importance to Gongsun Kang.
Sure enough, as Lu Bu expected, the soldiers in the trapped camp began to climb the ladder, and the defenders began to support the east of the city, and with the addition of three hundred soldiers, the pressure on the defenders dropped sharply.
But with the soldiers of the trapped camp after climbing the city wall, it is the biggest threat to the defenders, after the previous battles they have understood that if they can't drive the Youzhou army off the city wall as quickly as possible, they will face being slaughtered, the soldiers in the camp left a very deep impression on the defenders, and the invulnerable soldiers in the camp are enough to make the defenders afraid.
"General, Changli is in jeopardy." During the battle, Liu Yi's arm was also injured, but fortunately, with the protection of armor, he only suffered a flesh wound.
"Can't hold it?" Gongsun Kang sighed, in his heart, he didn't want to give up the subject state of Liaodong, but the reinforcements could not enter Changli, and it was very difficult to hold Changli.
"There are thousands of cavalry in the east of the city." Liu Yi said that the most important thing at this time is to protect Gongsun Kang back to Liaodong, and the importance of Gongsun Kang in Liaodong is self-evident.
Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Kang said, "Order Han Lu to lead three hundred cavalry to break through. ”
"Whoa." Liu Yi hugged his fists.
The defenders of the three walls were struggling to support themselves, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but as the battle progressed, they never saw reinforcements.
At this moment, the East City Gate, which had been silent for a long time, slowly opened, and Han Lu led three hundred cavalry to break through in the direction of Liaodong with a gloomy face.
"Kill!" Han Lu shouted, looked back at Gongsun Kang, who was extremely well protected in the cavalry, and protected Gongsun Kang to break through the siege, Han Lu did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Gongsun Kang, who was among the cavalrymen, seemed to be infected with the wind and cold, his mouth was wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and his face was a little pale.
Seeing the Liaodong cavalry fleeing, Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry to hurriedly pursue, he knew the importance of Gongsun Kang, but these three hundred cavalry didn't care about the killing that the Lieyang Bow Cavalry behind them kept causing them, and kept urging the war horses under him to gallop.
The Liaodong cavalry faced the cavalry of the Youzhou army, they were already afraid, they wanted to leave the Changli City that left them a nightmare early, and protect Gongsun Kang to leave, in their opinion, it was a good errand, even if they died on the way to escape, it was better than waiting for death in the city, when the Youzhou army attacked the city, the cavalry in the city was very embarrassed, and sometimes even acted as infantry to defend the city.
In the face of death, human potential is limitless.
Just as Huang Zhong was chasing the Liaodong cavalry, the west gate opened again, and two hundred cavalry rushed out, and the speed of these cavalry was even faster than the previous Han Lu's speed.
Gongsun Kang, who was dressed as an ordinary cavalryman, glanced nostalgically at Changli City behind him, and the sound of fighting on the head of the city made his chest feel a little stuffy.
"The general who came to Japan will definitely avenge you." Gongsun Kang's eyes flashed with a thick hatred, it was the Youzhou army, it was Lu Bu who brought them to the point where they are now, people are selfish, Gongsun Kang didn't realize that it was precisely because he led his troops to attack Youbeiping that he attracted the Youzhou army to attack Liaodong.
The defenders have not received assistance for a long time, and after the city has climbed the city wall with Gao Shun, the defenders are pressing down the city wall step by step, and in the face of the cooperation of the soldiers in the trapped camp, the strength line of the defenders is so weak.
In the face of death and unstoppable enemy troops, many of the defenders were timid, their footsteps kept moving backwards, I don't know who took the lead in escaping the city walls, more and more soldiers gave up resistance and fled towards the city, and the wounded soldiers threw their blades to the ground in despair, waiting for them to become prisoners.
The west gate of the city slowly opened, and Lu Bu led a thousand cavalry to rush into Changli City.
The fall of the East City Gate announced the fall of Changli City, even if some Liaodong Army soldiers struggled to resist, they were soon submerged under the Youzhou army that entered the city.
"Order the soldiers of all departments not to disturb the people after entering the city, and not to kill the soldiers of Liaodong who surrendered." Lu Bu ordered, if these soldiers are the state army, there is no need to give this order, but the current is the Youzhou army, the two armies are fighting, and the hatred of the besieging side for the defenders is huge, even if the defenders choose to surrender, some soldiers will still fight each other.
The speed of the Liaodong cavalry is still much worse than that of the Lieyang archers, although under the threat of their lives, they broke out, and they still caught up with the Lieyang archers, in the face of the scimitars of the Lieyang archers, the Liaodong cavalry collapsed, many cavalry did not even obey Han Lu's orders, and fled in all directions, Huang Zhong's eyes were staring at Gongsun Kang, who was closely protected by more than a dozen cavalrymen.
