"Kill!" Seeing that Zhang Liao's blood was flowing like an infusion, and his strength was gradually exhausted, a large group of men and horses suddenly came to the rear of Cao's army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Hong thought that Zhang Liao's reinforcements were coming, so he abandoned Zhang Liao and returned to Daxu to command the soldiers, sent his deputy general to intercept and kill the reinforcements, and he himself continued to command the army to besiege Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's bravery and good fighting made Cao Hong feel very dangerous, Zhang Liao's reputation was not prominent before, he was covered up under Lu Bu's bravery, the world only knew that Lu Bu was unparalleled in the world, who would have thought that Zhang Liao, who was as famous as Wei Xu and Song Xian, who was not a third-rate general, was so good at fighting. To exaggerate, it can be said that Lu Bu does not admit much.
It turned out that this so-called reinforcement of Zhang Liao was none other than Lu Gang and others who abandoned the camp and fled. Lu Gang escaped from the camp and planned to cast himself in the billet city, but unexpectedly met Cao Hongbu who was encircling Zhang Liao at the city gate. Lu Gang thought that Lu Bu sent people to capture Xiabil, he had just lost the partial camp, if once Xiapi was also lost, when Cao Cao's army returned, waiting for Lu Gang was afraid of being killed and killed.
At this time, it is the time to make up for the merits, once Cao Cao asks about it, when the time comes, under the pretense of discovering Lu Bu's conspiracy to seize Pi, he has no choice but to give up the camp and support the billet, so as to ensure that Pi is not lost.
Thinking of this, Lu Gang didn't dare to delay time, afraid that the immortal god of war Lu Bu behind him would chase and kill, and directly charge Cao Hongjun, who had no time to line up in front.
After a while, the cannibalism between the two armies entered a white heat. Although Lu Gang was scared away by Lu Bu, he also experienced several bloody battles to be a colonel and captain, and Cao Hong's formation had already been broken by Zhang Liao, and for a while, Cao Hong's lieutenant could not resist the impact of Lu Gang's department.
Without Cao Hong's containment, Zhang Liao returned to the circle again, leading the rest of the people to kill in the direction of Lu Gang, although he didn't know where the reinforcements came from, as long as the people who attacked Cao Hong at this time were his own people, and maybe when Xiapi was breached, Lu Bu's army was scattered outside.
Not long after, the rear shouted again loudly, and it turned out that this time it was the real Zhang Liao reinforcements.
"Lu Bu is here, the traitor still hasn't dismounted and surrendered!" Lu Bugao shouted, dumbfounded and looked at the scuffle in front of him. Seeing that Lu Bu led the army to arrive, the two sides of the melee in front of him fought more fiercely, and even the two main generals under the command of the commander personally fought with swords.
It turned out that Cao Hong and Lu Gang both suspected that the other party was Lu Bu's army, and Cao Hong hoped to kill Zhang Liao's first wave of reinforcements as soon as possible, so that he could reline to meet the enemy. Lu Gang fought desperately, hoping to kill the Lu Bu army that was attacking the city as soon as possible, so that he could hide in the safety of the city.
LΓΌ Bu arrived with his army and ordered Xiao Xiong to take the Cao soldiers who had just surrendered to fight from the flank. The soldiers who had just surrendered couldn't tell who was who, and the clothes on the two sides that were fighting just now were the same as their own, no matter who was who, as long as there was someone in front of them, they would be killed in a honeycomb. The battle formations of the first two sides had long been chaotic, and it was impossible for the troops that Lu Bu had just collected to organize an effective offensive formation in a short period of time.
Lu Bu personally led the rest of the peasant soldiers to follow Xiao Xiong and kill him, there was a scuffle everywhere in front of him, and he couldn't find the shadow of Zhang Liao and the others at all, Lu Bu was secretly anxious, under such a scuffle, could more than 20 people hold out to the end? The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more scared he became. Here is the fold of Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, and what capital will there be to fight for a piece of land in the future.
The more the three sides fought, the more chaotic they became, and finally they couldn't tell who was whose soldier, Lu Bu began to shout surrender and not kill, and later found that it was useless, after Cao Bing surrendered, Chen Yu immediately asked them to join the battle, they picked up weapons and didn't know who to kill, as long as they were wearing Cao Bing's clothes, they cut people when they saw them, the scene reached the point where they couldn't be cleaned up, these Cao soldiers didn't know how to listen to the orders of that side.
The battlefield is like a meat grinder, at this time the sky has been bright, Cao Hong found that the killing is coming, killing his own people, Lu Bujun really only has a small drink wearing pig iron armor, no formation of soldiers, when he wanted to encircle Lu Bu army found that most of the people did not listen to the command at all, still go their own way under the leadership of a big man wearing pig iron armor to rush to kill.
Cao's army was chaotic, and people were panicked, feeling that those wearing the same clothes around them were all enemies, attacking each other. Cao Hong saw that the general trend had gone, and broke through with the men and horses of the personal guard battalion.
Cao Hong broke through, Lu Gang saw that Lu Bu, who was holding a Zhangba snake spear and riding a black horse, did not leave, and he couldn't figure out who the enemy was for a while, so he desperately squeezed the war horse under his crotch into his headquarters, wanting to force his way into the lower billet.
Just as Lu Gang squeezed into the crowd and scolded Lu Bu as he ran, he suddenly screamed, a big knife slashed through his neck, and the headless corpse fell from the horse.
I saw Zhang Liao, who was covered in blood, rolled up his long knife, hooked Lu Gang's head into his hand, and rushed over in the direction of Lu Bu with a few people from Chen Gong.
Seeing that it was Zhang Liao, Lu Bu didn't wait to order the army to attack, and the Zhangba snake spear went straight to the horse's ass, and rushed straight towards Lu Gang's formation at the fastest speed.
It turned out that Lu had just arrived, and without saying a word, he rushed straight to Cao Hong's array, Zhang Liao thought that reinforcements had arrived, and he hurriedly came to converge. Lu Gang saw that Cao Hongjun divided his troops to block him, and the army surrounded Zhang Liao, thinking that Zhang Liao was his own person, and when Zhang Liao killed him, he also sent soldiers to guard Zhang Liao's Chen Palace.
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, who was covered in blood in front of him, the pig iron armor on his body had turned into strips of cloth hanging on his body, jumped off the war horse, and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder vigorously: "It's okay, it's okay!" β
Lu Bu's voice was a little choked, without a trace of buying people's hearts, it was a real heartfelt concern for Zhang Liao Chen Palace.
On the way to Lu Bu, he heard the shouts outside the city to kill Zhentian, thinking that Zhang Liao Chen Gong had been killed, but he didn't expect him to be alive, and he cried with joy. Lu Bu settled down, as the lord, some emotions could not be shown on his face.
Zhang Liao Chen Gong saw Lu Bu's heartfelt concern, and his face swept away the haze of many days, Zhang Liao Chen Gong half-knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Those who are confidants die." We are willing to die for the great cause of the Lord. β
Lu Bu was not hypocritical, and helped Zhang Liao Chen Gong to check the injuries on their bodies.
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, people's hearts were fluctuating, and Lu Bu felt that he should do something to consolidate his morale.
Holding the Zhangba snake spear obliquely down the gate of Picheng: "I swear here today, and from now on I will share honor and disgrace, and violating this oath is like this knife." β
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he held the Zhangba snake spear in one hand and the golden-backed tiger-headed knife in the other, and carried a huge force, the knives and spears collided, and the golden-backed tiger-headed knife that was cut by Guan Yu's Yanyue Qinglong knife was cut everywhere and broke off in response, and the handle of the knife was thrown hard to the ground, and the entire handle was embedded in the earth. At this time, the army's morale was weak, and Lu Bu himself was suspected of being capricious, so he made a heavy oath today in order to appease people's hearts and reassure Zhang Liao Chen Gong. The second is to buy the hearts of these chaotic people.
"I am willing to die for the great cause of the Lord!" Chen Yu knelt down and shouted very well with the current affairs.
Under Chen Yu's signal, the peasant soldiers also echoed and chanted one by one.
Just like an infectious disease, someone took the lead, and the remnants of Lu Gang, who were still fighting in the distance, and Cao Bing, who had just surrendered, dropped their weapons and shouted: "We are willing to die for the great cause of the Lord." β
By the end, the voice was loud and neat, and the morale was high, who believed that this was a surrender that had just surrendered.
The chariot on the city tower also saw clearly at this time, the real number of Lu Bu's army was only two or three hundred, and the others were all dressed in Cao Bing's clothes. Thinking of the thunderous anger after Cao Cao came back, Che Xuan was angry and rushed to attack his heart, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he passed out.
Lu Bu looked at the front of him like hell, the corpses were laid out horizontally, and it was a miracle that Zhang Liao was able to survive the siege of Cao Hong.
I was afraid in my heart, I shouldn't take the risk of taking the camp, and I had to plan for such a dangerous thing in the future.
After cleaning the battlefield, all the soldiers who swore to die were hanged. After counting the soldiers, there were more than 3,300 people in total, all of whom were wounded, as many as 1,900 soldiers were seriously wounded, 1,400 soldiers were lightly wounded, and more than half of them were seriously wounded. One can imagine how fierce this scuffle was. In addition, there are still one hundred and thirteen left, and they will begin to break up and flee, and this time more than half of the casualties and did not flee mainly because of the three parties in the battle are Cao Jun's clothes, and it is impossible to distinguish who is the enemy.
There were more than 1,600 people in total, who could barely fight with wounds, and only four soldiers in the camp were still alive, and these four people also had more breath and less breath. Lu Bu hurriedly sent people from nearby villages to arrest people who knew how to heal and come to the relief of the wounded.
While arranging for the lightly wounded soldiers to receive the seriously injured to the partial camp that was still spreading the sea of fire, Lu Bu took hundreds of soldiers to the outside of the city to symbolically call for battle.
The so-called treatment of these seriously wounded soldiers is only to move them to a remote camp to wait for death, Lu Bu is now poor and two hundred, where is there medicine to treat the wounded, not even the linen cloth to bandage the wounds. Lu Bu couldn't casually abandon these seriously injured surrenderers, and he had to pretend to be very concerned, otherwise it would chill the hearts of other surrenderers. Finally found some medicine, of course, the priority was to treat Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and the four trapped soldiers.
Lu Bu stayed outside the city for three days in a row, and every day he ordered Zhang Liao to go to call the battle with his injuries, and the soldiers showed off their might outside the city. Lu Bu stayed at the bottom of the billet mainly to wait for the routed army to hear that he was attacking Xiapi and came to gather.
In the past three days, Lu Bu has successively collected more than 500 defeated soldiers, Lu Bu still wants to stay for another day, there should be a large number of defeated soldiers on the way, but Lu Bu has to go, Cao Cao must be rushing back, and secondly, Lu Bu has no grain and grass, and these three days are completely dependent on the grain and grass in the partial camp that has not been burned by the fire. In the past, there were only about 200 soldiers, and they could barely survive by robbing homes and houses, but now there are thousands of mouths, how can the little food that robbed houses be enough.
At the same time, Lu Bu was waiting for Peng Cheng to deliver the news back. Three days ago, Chen Yu was sent to investigate the reality of Pengcheng, and at the same time contacted Cao Hong to steal the city.
In the middle of the night of the fourth day, the pennant of the partial camp fluttered, the torches were not extinguished, and LΓΌ Bu left the seriously wounded Cao soldiers behind, so that they surrendered to Cao Cao when Cao Cao's army arrived. Lu Bu didn't want to be infamous for killing the surrendered army, his reputation was already stinky enough, and these serious injuries and surrendered troops were left to Cao Cao to have a headache.
In the middle of the night, he did not dare to alarm the seriously wounded surrendered troops, divided the 3,000 soldiers who could fight into three teams, and secretly crossed the Huaishui and went straight to Pengcheng.
