Chapter Forty-Seven: Huaiyin Falls

Seeing that he had finally received Zang Ba's loyalty, Lu Bu did not dare to stay for a long time and led his troops to Huaiyin overnight. Zhang Liao was the main general of the www.biquge.info Zhang Liao as the main general, Zang Ba was the deputy general, 5,000 people were the pioneers of thunder, Lu Bu personally led 200 people under Xiao Xiong, 600 people under Li Damu under the command of the death army, Wu Dun 2,000 people as the Chinese army, and Sun Guan, Sun Guan's brother Sun Kang and Chen Gong led 4,000 people as the rear army.

This time to the south, Lu Bu did not dare to stay day and night, and ten days later, the army finally arrived in Huaiyin.

Huaiyin ordered Lu Heng to suddenly see the thieves coming, and sent someone to inquire, only to find out that it was Lu Bu, while sending people to Cao Cao's soldiers who were far away in Rencheng to ask for help, and at the same time sent an emergency report to Huai'an and Yandu counties for help.

Huaiyin ordered Lu Heng to see a Lu character from a distance, and when Lu Bu pointed at Lu Bu in a belligerent formation, he asked, "Traitor Lu Bu, why did you cut down my city?" ”

"Go south. Since you and I are of the same clan, why do you make soldiers stand in the way? Why don't you open the city gate and support the Han room with someone? ”

"Thou art a traitor to the Han Dynasty, and everyone can plant it, and I am different from Thou Dao and do not conspire with each other."

"A certain last persuasion, it is not too late to open the city at this time, if I break the city, the chickens and dogs will not stay."

Lu Heng ignored Lu Bu's threat and shot an arrow at Lu Bu from the city tower, although the arrow was still far away from Lu Bu, it also showed that he wanted to fight Lu Bu endlessly.

Lu Bu originally wanted to recruit Lu Heng for his own use, but he finally met a person surnamed Lu, but he wanted to follow Cao Cao alive or dead, Lu Bu was very uncomfortable in his heart, Cao Cao's cronies around him were all clans, could it be that our Lu family's genes were not good? Even if the people are thin, they still turn their arms outward.

Seeing that Lu Heng was determined to mix with Cao Cao, Huaiyin could only attack, although Huaiyin was a small city in tatters, the city wall still needed a ladder to climb up.

When the army arrived in Huaiyin, the soldiers rushed for thousands of miles, exhausted, and then continued to attack the city, the army's heart was unstable, and Lu Bu first ordered the army to rest for a day. Let some soldiers carry the grain buried in the Huaishui by the Huai Palace, and bury it in the soil for nearly 20 days, and if they don't move it out to dry, it will become moldy and rotten, so that some soldiers build siege ladders.

Lu Heng knew that he couldn't resist it, his soldiers guarding the city could not live in 500 people, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, how could he resist Lu Bu's army of 10,000 tigers and wolves? Lu Heng's subordinate Cao Cao saw that Lu Heng was worried, and proposed: "Why don't you ask someone to ask the family to send private soldiers to help defend the city?" Once Lu Bu breaks the city, how can he live? ”

Lu Heng saw that Lu Bu would not be able to attack the city for a while without siege equipment, so he hurriedly summoned the family clan. Lu Heng used the Pengcheng fire to persuade the family to help defend the city, the Pengcheng fire illuminated the entire Huaiyin that night, the fire burned for two days before it was extinguished, Pengcheng was also burned most of the time, the family rabbit died and the fox was sad, once Lu Bu took Huaiyin, felt that their fate would not be better than Pengcheng, and did not dare to hide their secrets, so they sent their private soldiers out to defend the city.

Lu Heng counted down, and the family organized nearly 3,000 people in a short time, and they had a little more confidence in guarding Huaiyin, and carried rolling stones, rolling wood, oil and other things to the city wall overnight. If the besieging side wants to storm the city, it is a fool's dream to not have more than five times the number of troops.

That night, Lu Heng received an urgent reply from the Yandu County Order, and poured the city to help. However, the closer Huai'an County ordered the troops to stand still, with a wait-and-see posture.

The next day, the Horn Company camped.

More than 12,000 troops set up a formation and surrounded Huaiyin City on all sides, Lu Heng looked at the city, and secretly said in his heart: Lu Bu has no ambition, don't you know that there is a lack of one of the three sieges? They have besieged us and made us defend the city to the death, fighting for our lives.

He threatened the representative sent by the family: "Lu Bu wants to slaughter us completely, if the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs." ”

Lu Bu put on this position to scare Lu Heng, hoping that he could serve himself, and at the same time told him to either surrender or defend the city, once he wants to defend the city, then he will not let anyone out of the city, and it is also an indirect warning to attack the city in the future, either you will fight to the end, or you will start to surrender.

Lu Bu came to the city and said loudly: "Lu County Order, I will give you one last chance, to surrender or not to surrender?" ”

"Defend the city, stay with the city!" Lu Heng shouted angrily on the city wall.

"Defend the city, stay with the city!" Under Lu Heng's leadership, the defenders shouted loudly, and many people spontaneously organized to participate in the defense of the city to help carry the rolling stones and the like.

Lu Bu outside the city blushed, he made a mistake again, not only did he not scare Lu Heng, but also angered the entire Huaiyin people, even if Huaiyin City was captured, the number of dead and wounded soldiers was too much for Lu Bu to bear.

Lu Bu turned his horse's head, returned to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "The Huaiyin thief aided the abuse, did not respect the Son of Heaven, and a certain person was sent to the secret edict of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the traitor." Killing the enemy is just around the corner, killing ten people is still a camp prostitute, a hundred people are camp prostitutes to pick a thousand taels of gold, and those who kill a thousand people are defeated! ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and pointed his spear at Huaiyin Tower: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The soldiers behind Lu Bu raised their shields to cover the soldiers carrying mud and sand behind them, and rushed straight to the moat.

"Put!" Lu Heng drew his sword and shouted, the archers who had been preparing for a long time let go of Xuan, and a large number of bows and arrows covered the soldiers who were filling the moat, and the casualties were all over again.

Lu Bufang commanded his soldiers to fill the moat under the rain of arrows, and fought fiercely until noon, with nearly 200 dead and wounded, and nearly 1,000 on all sides.

The soldiers were reluctant to charge in the rain of arrows, and the moat was barely filled, so if they wanted to take down the small Huaiyin, it would not be possible to lose 5,000 men and horses, Lu Bu regretted it, he knew that this was the case, and he should have surrounded the three missing one way of fighting. But Huaiyin must be taken, otherwise his way south to Guangling will be blocked by Lu Heng, and now the detour will definitely be caught up by Cao Cao behind him, and it will be too late to regret it.

Seeing that the moat had been filled, Li Damu's morale was low, and he personally charged forward with the Death Legion with his shield. Li Damu slammed the arrows flying with his broadsword as he approached the city wall, and the Death Legionnaires followed with fearless death.

"Take the ladder." Li Damu gave an order, and the soldiers carrying the ladder just erected the ladder on the city wall, and Li Damu twisted the ladder to climb up.

Li Damu was only halfway up when he was discovered by the soldiers defending the city, who dropped a rolling log and smashed it down. Li Damu bowed down and hid under the ladder, avoiding the rolling logs and continuing to climb up, and the Death Legion soldiers who followed Li Damu to climb were far inferior to Li Damu, and were smashed down from the ladder in pieces, as long as they didn't lose their breath, even if their hands were broken, they would continue to climb without fear of death.

"Didn't hit, poured oil, pushed the ladder!" Some soldiers defending the city saw that Li Damu had dodged the rolling logs, continued to climb up, picked up the boiling oil and poured it down.

Li Damu saw the green smoke pouring oil on his head, hurriedly jumped onto the cloud ladder that was about to be overturned by the city defenders, put the knife in his mouth, quickly jumped up, and when the cloud ladder was close to overturning, he finally climbed to the top, jumped into the city, and threw himself into the city defenders.

Li Damu got on the city wall, slashed with a big knife, cut off the soldiers around him who had no time to react, and guarded the arrow battlement.
