Chapter 359: The Jedi Strikes Back
The chaotic soldiers of Xuchang, with the running, charging, and piling up of the team, gradually formed a 'momentum' visible to the naked eye. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this 'momentum' was generated by the terrifying nightmarish scene in the city, full of resentment.
The cavalry of the crossbow battalion, which was rushing like the wind, suddenly held down the horse's head, and under the leadership of the main general Huang Zhong Pang De, his body was close to the horse's neck, and he suddenly stopped in the high-speed charge.
Huang Zhong was furious and Xuchang's heart at this moment, even if the crossbow battalion could use war horses to break through the enemy formation and kill countless enemies, but in the face of the resentment of the Xuchang soldiers and civilians who were carried away by hatred, they would suffer heavy losses.
"Defeat their momentum first!" Huang Zhong has been charging into battle for more than ten years, and the battlefield is more familiar than the bed. The 'momentum' created by this rabble will come and go faster, and as long as their 'momentum' is consumed, it will be a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
Huang Zhong has been fighting in the south and north for Lu Bu's deputy general for the past two years, and Lu Bu's obscene tactics have been witnessed and gradually changed, and Huang Zhong's blind charge has gradually changed. He also learned to deal with the enemy, to break up the neat ranks, to divide large groups of enemies into small units, and to drag the piled enemies into pieces.
The chaotic army in front of them was unmatched in morale for a while, and it was impossible to resist, as long as they were dragged into a long snake formation, stretching under the entire city wall, they were no longer able to resist the charge of the cavalry.
"Repeater!"
Pieces of cold light, arrows and arrows see blood.
The sharp iron arrows reflected red in the light of the fire, and fiercely nailed into the soldiers and civilians who rushed the fastest. The strong force penetrated through the body, and the roots were gone, and the blood gushed out of the blood tank like a spring, and he died of exhaustion in an instant.
In my ears, the humming of the vibrating crossbow strings vibrated and was terrifying.
Ten iron arrows, drawn in the air into an arrow spear, one after the other. These soldiers and civilians had no armor to protect themselves, and fell to the ground in pieces.
It all seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, all the enemy troops who rushed the hardest were killed. The enemy troops who did not catch up, seeing the scene in front of them, stood in place in a daze and didn't know what to do.
"What are you doing in a daze! To avenge our loved ones, there are not many of them, rush, revenge! "Some of those who saw their loved ones die in the flames were not shocked by the mass of death that appeared in front of them, and they struggled to charge forward without stopping.
Just as the soldiers and civilians who were about to rush to the city like a black cloud overwhelmed the city, the crossbow battalion turned the horse's head, and turned back to aim as they ran.
Cao Hong saw that the enemy cavalry was broken and turned around, and he raised his weapons excitedly, and was about to lead his men and horses to join the pursuit.
"Get back to town!" Xun Yu saw that the soldiers and civilians suddenly climbed with unrivaled sharpness, and hurriedly stopped Cao Hong's reckless character. Lü Bu's army caused chaos in the city, causing Xuchang to hate the enemy, and perhaps they could use the 'momentum' they generated to recover the disadvantage and drive Lü Bu's army out of the city.
"These Diao people are not from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They are now bent on revenge, and they will not obey orders. It's better to wipe out Lu Bu's army in one go! "Half of the city of Xuchang turned into a sea of fire, isn't it sent to death when you return to the city? Cao Hong felt that the credit for killing Lu Bu was even higher.
"The other side is all cavalry. General Cao thinks this group of rebels can catch up with two feet? Lu Bujun's original intention was to drag down the fighting spirit we have gathered now. This is the last hope to hold the city, please think twice about General Cao. Guo Jia also persuaded. They abandoned the city before, it was no choice, Lu Bu's army had just broken the city, and their morale was irresistible. The arrival of Cao Hong's reinforcements gave hope to the soldiers and civilians evacuated from the city and inspired their fighting spirit.
Cao Hong finally compromised, Jue
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) must retreat and return to the city.
"Our parents, our wives, and our loved ones are still in the city, still waiting for us to rescue us in the fire. There is also Lu Bujun in the city who is slaughtering our relatives, go back to the city, put out the fire, and kill the enemy......"
Xun Yu didn't finish shouting in one breath, embracing the soldiers and civilians who were stuck at the city gate and could not advance or retreat, and the rear army became the front army, exuding an invincible momentum, like an ice blade out of the sheath, with a short sharp killing into the city.
Xun Yu Guo Jia used the sharpness of the ice blade before it melted to counterattack back to the city. They seized the right moment and quickly entered the city, bringing the rebellious people to justice on the spot. And Lu Bu thought that the overall situation was in his hands, how could he have thought that at the last moment, Xun Yu seized the opportunity and killed a horse pistol?
Lu Bu didn't know what was going on at the south gate, he was leading the army out of the city through the east gate, preparing to go to the south gate to defeat Xun Yu and the others who had fled.
Lu Bu's army left Xuchang City, half of Xuchang City was in flames, and it was a matter of time before the whole city turned into a flame, and now they are all taking care of fleeing for their lives, and it is impossible for anyone to organize the masses to fight the fire. In addition to the people outside the city, who were coerced by them, they were still setting fire to the city, taking advantage of the fire to loot property, and there was no Lu Bu soldier.
As soon as I walked to the southeast corner of the city wall, the sky was already bright, and in the forest outside the city, there were no birds chirping, and the shouts of killing last night frightened the birds and beasts away.
The sound of horses' hooves clattering ahead. The returning crossbow battalion came into view, carrying thousands of people in Xuchang who were as black as ants. The crossbow battalion ran unhurriedly in front, occasionally turning back and releasing a few cold arrows.
"Father-in-law. I'm afraid it's a miscalculation. Lu Xun looked sideways at the city wall, wanting to see the firelight inside through the city wall, and said with a wry smile.
"It was a miscalculation. I didn't expect them to jump off the wall in a hurry. Lu Bu had no guilt for his cruel methods. He didn't expect Xun Yu to create a miracle, and before the absolute decline, he still had the ability to take advantage of Lu Buzhi's complacency to rectify the defeated soldiers on the whole line and kill them. The defeat was like a mountain, and it was not easy to put together a discouraged army and regain its fighting spirit.
"Probably the defenders have all retreated back into the city. Even if they need to put out the fire, we probably won't be able to get into the city again. Anyway, Xuchang is abolished, it is better to attack Chen Liu, dismantle the front line that Cao Cao arranged to guard against Yuan Shao on the front line of Guandu, and lead Yuan Shao to make a comeback, how about it? Lu Xun said gloomily.
Approaching the ink is black, Lu Bu glanced at Lu Xun strangely, such an insidious trick is a bit of a destruction of Lu Xun's elegant temperament. After the destruction, run away, Lu Bu likes it very much. He used troops in Xuchang this time, without asking for anything in return, simply hitting Cao Cao and not letting him be arrogant.
"But before going to Guandu, we have to kill the chaotic army in front of you!" Lu Bu's idea was simple and violent. He wanted to beat the people of Xuchang and couldn't raise the heart to resist. The men who are chasing the crossbow camp must die, and use them to warn the eyes of the city. Otherwise, when Lu Bu used troops against Xuchang again, he would only be attacked by a group.
"Charge!"
Fang Tian's halberd was held high, and the tip of the halberd pointed directly at the fiery red morning sun that exposed the top of the mountain behind him.
The crossbow battalion was ordered, and the oblique stab was far away.
Two thousand cavalry charged at the same time. A series of neat movements, neat and uniform war knives, and soaring murderous aura, how can a group of people who have never killed anyone, do not understand the battle formation, and are angry and angry and can compete with a single resentment support.
Lu Bu's cavalry was like a bamboo, charging among the disgruntled soldiers and civilians. The embarrassed six- or seven-mile-long contingent of Xuchang soldiers and civilians suddenly woke up, and the horses' hooves trampled on them mercilessly. The wail before death became a turning point
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), and the resentment slowly fades in the screams of panic. In disbelief, they pulled their legs and began to flee backwards.
Lu Bu's cavalry caught up from behind, the long knives swept through, and the heads rose into the air. The headless corpse still maintained its pre-mortem running posture and rushed forward......
Outside the closed south gate, thousands of soldiers and civilians who fled back and wanted to enter the city in fear gathered to stare at the approaching cavalry, clinging to the city gate in a group in fear, howling and begging.
The defenders of the city gate held the war knife in their hands tightly, the sound of knocking on the door outside the city seemed to be unheard, and in the eyes of fear, there was only Lu Bujun, who was full of brutality and murder outside the city.
The war horses separated, rows of crossbow battalion soldiers held repeater crossbows, and the war horses slowly approached with broken steps, the atmosphere was depressing and desperate.
"I can't take it anymore!" At the front of the drawbridge, a child of a family closest to the crossbow camp carried a bloody sword and stabbed his companions in a flurry of disorder, trying to squeeze into the crowd. Before he could stab a gap and squeeze in, he was filled by the frightened crowd next to him, and failed several times in a row. Rows of cold iron arrows were aimed at the crowd, and under a pair of murderous eyes, the child of the family had a nervous breakdown, and sat on the ground crying with a wide sleeve robe.
"We're going to surrender, don't kill me, woo......"
Someone took the lead, and their resentment vanished, leaving only a deep fear of death. The eyes full of hatred gradually collapsed, turning into resentment towards Cao Jun who closed the city gate after despair.
"Roaring ......"
Lu Bu played with the jade seal of the country, and a dragon soared into the air, and the dragon's groans were endless. The fear of the beasts of the wilderness became the last straw that crushed the soldiers and civilians who were hugging together. Countless people foamed at the mouth, their eyes were black, and they plunged headlong into the moat.
Looking at the soldiers and civilians under the city gate who had completely lost their fighting spirit, Lu Bu stretched out his hand and put the heirloom jade seal into his backpack, and the blue dragon in the sky disappeared at the same time, and appeared next to Lu Bu the next moment. This group of people who are discouraged, it is more useful to stay than to kill, and they will have immeasurable negative emotions towards Xuchang Cao Cao.
Lü Bu's cavalry turned its horse and quickly disappeared south. These surviving soldiers and civilians felt like they had a nightmare, an unreal nightmare.
At the right time, Xun Yu in the city gave the order to open the city gate to welcome the soldiers and civilians into the city. As soon as he received the report, he ordered the city to be opened at all costs and let the soldiers and civilians enter the city. What he is relying on now is the unity of Xuchang, if the people outside the city are refused to enter the city, it will only cause the military and the people to be separated. It's a pity that it's still a step too slow. When Xun Yu arrived with a firefighting army, he only saw a pair of eyes full of resentment looking at them. These people transferred all the hatred of their families to Cao Jun, who did not open the door and let him go.
Lu Bu walked more than 20 miles to the south, quickly turned to the direction of Xutian, and went north to Chenliu. Cao Cao's base camp was destroyed by Lü Bu, and the entire Cao army was in a state of rage, Lü Bu was unwilling to lose his troops and go to attack Cao's army with Wei Yan before and after, and ordered Wei Yan to withdraw his troops back to Wuguan.
Chen Liu, if the guess is correct, there should be a lot of loot obtained by Cao Cao after defeating Yuan Shao here, and Lu Bu decided to go and destroy it.
