Chapter 265: The Fall of the Stars (I)

The city walls on both sides of the west gate of Pengcheng are also under fierce attack by the soldiers of the Qingxu Alliance.

After the sound of a huge explosion sounded, it quickly advanced to more than 500 large bed crossbows two hundred steps away from the West City Gate, and constantly fired "Zizi" smoking giant rockets, launching a merciless bombardment of the defenders of Lu Bu who rushed to the head of the city to quickly arrange defenses.

Hou Cheng, the general guarding Xicheng, and more than a dozen lieutenants rushed to the Ximen Tower in a panic, but before they could see the attacking enemy's formation, they were blown to pieces by three rockets flying at the same time, and the broken arms were splashed everywhere.

The thousands of Lu Bu soldiers at the head of the city had already lost a third of them before they could wake up from the continuous explosions, and the hundreds of bed crossbows outside the city continued to bombard relentlessly.

On the three city walls except for the east gate, the sound of explosions continued, the flames were blazing, and thousands of officers and soldiers of the Qingxu Alliance poured into the city and began bloody and merciless killings.

After Cao Xing and Wei Xu on the east gate tower learned that the lord Lu Bu had abandoned everything and broke through to the west, they immediately led hundreds of guards from their headquarters to flee first, and rushed through the chaotic streets at high speed, regardless of knocking away all the soldiers and soldiers in front of them, and tried their best to escape from the west gate before the enemy troops swarming on the north and south sides.

Cao He and Wei Xu left their subordinates and fled alone, which soon caused the collapse of nearly 10,000 soldiers.

After Liu Cun, who was standing outside the city and calmly observing the battle situation, received the report, he immediately ordered the city gate to be blown up, and then accompanied by the young general Chen Dao, he rushed into the city gate before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and 20,000 light horsemen followed closely behind him, continuously entering the city, and rushing into the main streets in a blink of an eye. Wielding a saber. Mercilessly slay down hordes of terror-fleeing enemy troops.

Liu Cun was escorted by five hundred personal guards. galloped all the way along the central street, and soon under the response of the generals sent by Mi Zhu, they smoothly rushed into the city government that had been heavily surrounded.

When Lu Bu and Chen Gong led the crowd to rush out of the west gate, more than 500 large bed crossbows had already retreated, and the Qingxu coalition army took the initiative to retreat three miles from the central area, and up to 30,000 foot soldiers formed more than 20 spear phalanxes under the unified command of the general Le Jin, neatly lined up in the north and south. With thick arrays and dense spears, two impassable lines of death were formed.

Four squares of 8,000 crossbowmen lined up behind the gun formations on the north and south sides, ready to launch round after round of covering fire.

The 5,000 heavy cavalry led by the general Yan Shen had already been waiting five miles to the west, and the 10,000 light cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Zhai Yue were guarding the left and right flanks of the heavy cavalry, and together with tens of thousands of soldiers from north to south, they gave up a square space five miles long from east to west and three miles wide from north to south to Lu Bu, who led nearly 10,000 soldiers to flee from the west gate in a panic.

The moment Lu Buzema crossed the drawbridge, he knew that he was once again in the premeditated siege of the Qingxu coalition army. Therefore, there was no need for Chen Gong, whose face was pale, to remind, that Lu Bu had already slowed down. Raise your arms and signal all the soldiers to stop advancing and line up quickly.

His eyes, burned red by the flames of rage, were always staring at the five thousand horsemen who had not yet mounted their horses due west.

Zhang Liao, the general who restrained his war horse and stood solemnly on Lu Bu's left, couldn't take his eyes off the heavy cavalry array in front of him clearly. He knew better than anyone that the deadly threat contained in the extremely rare heavy cavalry of 5,000 heavy armor was to be smashed apart and mercilessly slaughtered once the 5,000 heavy cavalry in a neat array rushed over, and he and the Xiliang cavalry behind him would not be able to resist even if they doubled.

Yan Shen, who was standing in front of the heavy cavalry array, looked gloomy, he stared at Lu Bu who took the initiative to stop when he led his troops to the center, Zhao Yun and Yan Shen, who were on both sides of Yan Shen, also stared at Lu Bu and the others who had not moved for a long time, and the battlefield of 100,000 soldiers on both sides of the enemy suddenly fell into a strange silence, so quiet that even the wailing, screaming and roaring in the city could be heard clearly.

Suddenly, hundreds of disheveled and embarrassed cavalry poured out from the direction of the West Gate again, and this group of cavalry, under the leadership of the general Cao He and Wei Xu, quickly rushed to both sides of Lu Bu's army, and after stopping his horse, he looked around in horror, and soon found desperately that he was once again surrounded by the Qingxu coalition army.

The frightened Cao Xing and Wei Xu glanced at each other, both dismounted, and ran to Lu Buma and knelt down to report: "When the two subordinates fought desperately to chase the lord, they learned that tens of thousands of enemy troops had poured into the central block from the north and south, and the generals Hao Meng, Li Feng, Song Xian and Xue Lan, who were guarding the southern and northern cities, were all missing after the shocking explosion. ”

"General Gao Shun and the 500 soldiers in the trapping camp were besieged at the site of the government by tens of thousands of heavy soldiers led by Mi Zhu because they were protecting the families of the lord and the generals. The two subordinates had already killed on Ximennei Street at that time, and after receiving the urgent report, they immediately turned around and rushed to the government to try to rescue, but they had no choice but to collide head-on with the tens of thousands of Qingzhou cavalry who had entered the city halfway through......"

"Outnumbered, the subordinates can only fight and retreat, but in the end, there are only more than 400 brothers left who escaped from the west gate with the two subordinates, and the subordinates are incompetent, please punish the lord."

Hearing this, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao had already closed their eyes in pain.

Lu Bu's heart was desolate, and after a faint sigh, he raised his hand and motioned for the two of them to stand up: "I don't blame you for this, it's all because I didn't listen to Mr. Gongtai's repeated persuasion, and I didn't seize the last opportunity last night, and took advantage of the fact that the Qingxu coalition army had not yet completed the final arrangement, and decisively led everyone to abandon the city and break through. ”

"Lord ......"

Cao He and Zhang Liao spoke almost at the same time, but they didn't know what to say next.

Chen Gong sighed, took a few steps forward, and reluctantly suggested: "Please take a look, from the erected banner, it can be seen that the commander of the south is Zhang Rao, the general of the Qingzhou Army who has experienced a hundred battles and has incomparably rich experience...... This person was born in the Yellow Turban, ruthless and scheming. ”

"To the north of us, the enemy's commander is Mi Fang, the general of Xuzhou who hates our army to the core, and he can't wait to kill us in front of the battle immediately...... Only Yan Shen, the young deputy marshal of the Langya Army in the west, has a good reputation, and he is also Liu Zijian's very important confidant, if we can hurry up and discuss, there is still a chance to seek a chance to get a chance before Liu Zijian arrives. ”

Lu Bu suddenly looked sideways: "Do you want to surrender?" ”

Chen Gong smiled sadly: "Yes, I want to go and negotiate the surrender...... As long as you can confuse the other party and make it relax, Feng Xian will definitely be able to seize the opportunity to break through, and it will not be in vain for us to have a relationship, as for my Chen Gong, I don't want to live in the world anymore, to be honest, I'm tired, Feng Xian, I'm really tired......"

Lu Bu's face changed suddenly, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart.

Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and others never expected that Mr. Gongtai, who was as tough as iron and never gave up, would say such depressing words, and he had already given birth to the frustration and despair of longing for a death to be freed. (To be continued......)
