Chapter 266: The Fall of the Star (Part II)

Chen Gong, who was as dead as a dead heart, didn't want to say anything more, and bowed his hand to Lu Bu and a few people with complicated expressions, and quickly came to Yan Shen, Zhao Yun and Zhai Yue, who were waiting proudly, under the gaze of countless expectation, incomprehension, guilt, and longing.

Who knew that Chen Gong had just dismounted, and before he had time to raise his hand to Yan Shen and the others to explain his intentions, a shocking scene appeared.

Hearing Yan Shen's low roar, the two captains behind him immediately rushed out, the young captain on the left stretched out his ape arm and grabbed it gently, and the stunned Chen Gong was taken to the horse, and the one on the right pulled the horse's head and reached out to grab the reins of Chen Gong's war horse, and neatly led the war horse back to the rear of the formation.

Poor Chen Gong didn't have time to say a word, and he was blocked by Yan Shen, who had already taken precautions and was bent on putting Lu Bu to death.

After catching Chen Gong, which the lord valued the most, Yan Shenfei, who no longer had any scruples, got on the horse, and whispered a few words to Zhao Yun and Zhai Yue, who were on the horse almost at the same time, Zhai Yue and Zhao Yun immediately returned to the two wings of the array, followed the high fluttering banner in the middle of the road and acted at the same time, together with the heavy cavalry array, slowly approaching the remnants of Lu Bu in the encirclement.

Arrays of nearly 70,000 foot soldiers on the north and south sides were also launched.

The phalanx of spearmen lined up in front of them raised their spears diagonally and started forward to the rhythmic sound of war drums, and soon compressed the narrow space five miles long and three miles wide by nearly half.

What's even worse is that Liu Cun led nearly 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 crossbowmen to rush out of the west gate at this time, and quickly lined up in front of the moat before the remnants of Lu Bu could react, and 5,000 crossbowmen rushed through the cavalry gap under the leadership of their respective officers. They were assembled on both flanks of the cavalry and began to prepare for firing.

Lu Bu, who was in the center of the siege, did not know until this time that he had no way out. Liu Cun, a former friend, never gave him any chance again.

Seeing that the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller. The five thousand heavy cavalry in the direction of the west gradually increased their speed, rumbling and rampage, Lu Bu, who should have been desperate, suddenly aroused his ambition, and with a wave of his halberd, he roared angrily, leading all the horses and horses to rush towards the phalanx of infantry of the southern coalition army that was gradually stopping in an irregular formation.

The main general, Zhang Rao, saw that Lu Bu suddenly gave up other directions, and desperately increased the speed of his horse and rushed straight towards him, not only was he not frightened at all, but showed a little weird smile: "Beat the drum and sound the gong." The whole army stops advancing! The crossbowmen obeyed the order, fired ten rounds of rapid fire, and released-"

Eight war drums and ten gongs sounded almost simultaneously.

The three-mile-long infantry array of the southern front heard the sound, and the rapid sound of the copper whistle sounded again, and thousands of sword and shield soldiers hidden behind the gun array quickly rushed to the front to set up a shield wall, and the dense spears immediately crossed the shield and pointed straight ahead, and the entire battle line was like a hedgehog in front of the enemy in a blink of an eye.

Only the place where the main general's banner in the middle was located did not move at all, and it seemed that it was too late to mobilize the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, and the central array that was more than thirty paces long was unexpectedly in an irregular concave shape.

Lu Bu, who rushed at high speed, was very excited when he saw this, and his legs clamped hard. The red rabbit horse under the crotch increased its speed again, and the halberd in Lu Bu's hand was slightly slanted. The murderous gaze like a hungry tiger had locked on Zhang Rao, who was fifty steps ahead, swinging his sword and slapping his horse in a hurry.

Fifty steps away in a blink of an eye, just when Lu Bu was determined to win, Zhang Rao, who was in a hurry to fight, suddenly pulled the horse's head and rushed to the right, and Lu Bu, who was killed at high speed, was just about to swing his halberd to stab Zhang Rao in the back of the neck, and his crotch suddenly emptied, and then fell violently, and the heavy and high-speed red rabbit horse fell into the three-zhang deep and spear-ridden horse trap in the long neighing and mournful sound.

Lu Bu, who was on the horse, threw away the halberd in shock, and the other hand suddenly pressed on the back of the rapidly falling horse and flew up, but the dense rain of arrows shot quickly at this moment, shooting Lu Bu, who was full of despair, and flew away.

Poor Lu Bu, who has the best martial arts skills in the world, didn't even have time to scream before he flew into the horse pit, and his majestic body was densely packed with sharp arrows that pierced deeply, and even his handsome face and forehead were not spared...... The red rabbit horse, which he was pressing under him again, was pierced all over his body by the sharp buried spear, but he still twisted his neck with difficulty, trying to lick his master again, who no longer had any breath on his back.

Liu Cun didn't have the opportunity to go into battle in person, but he clearly saw the great power of the heavy cavalry on the plain battlefield, and the overwhelming momentum of destroying everything was simply a one-sided slaughter, instantly destroying the enemy's spirit and body, the only flaw was just the lack of staying power, but now there is an army in this world that can withstand the unstoppable two-wheel impact of five thousand heavy cavalry?

The battle was only about two quarters of an hour, and there were no more than 10,000 remnants of Lu Bu.

Liu Cun, who was staring from afar, saw that Zhang Liao, who was struggling in battle, was easily picked off the horse by Zhao Zilong, who was galloping, and sighed quietly, and returned to the city with the guards.

When Liu Cun, who was worried about everything, returned to the mansion, the city clean-up operation commanded by the Mi family brothers had basically ended, and Gao Shun, who swore to die, had been tied up and taken to the military camp on the west side of the mansion by Wuhua Da, and all sporadic resistance was basically cleared, but the extremely excited Xuzhou soldiers were still in groups, going back and forth between the streets and alleys, and carrying out the final clean-up under the guidance of the residents of the city and one by one.

Liu Cunxiang greeted the high-spirited Mi Zhu Mi Fang brothers, nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the guards beside him, and climbed the stone steps of the wide mansion side by side with the Mi family brothers, and entered the elaborate and magnificent main hall: "How are the families of Lu Bu and Chen Gong and others?" ”

Mi Fang, who learned that Lu Bu was dead, replied: "In addition to the family members, a total of more than 300 people are all imprisoned in two rows of wings in the backyard, according to your orders before the war, the younger brother found Lu Bu's wife and concubine daughter and Chen Gong's two wives and concubines A six-year-old son, Zhang Liao's wife and young son, and sent them to the east side courtyard for special care. ”

"These people, despite their horror and tears, are not fooling around with death or life, everything is going well, haha! By the way, it took a lot of effort to kill and injure more than ten elites to catch Gao Shun, who has no family, and it is estimated that he has not yet become married. ”

"Really? Good! That's good...... To be honest, Lu Bu didn't fancy anyone under Lu Bu except Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, so I didn't want to stay outside the city and continue to watch the one-sided slaughter of our army, and it is estimated that the war outside the city was almost over at this time. ”

Although Liu Cun was very tired, he was very happy in his heart, knowing that after this battle, the entire Xuzhou would completely fall into his sphere of influence, laying a solid foundation for the next big army to go south to conquer Yangzhou.

The Mi brothers were far happier than Liu Cun.

The recovery of Pengcheng means that the entire Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of his brothers, and the weak and insecure Chang'an court will never dare to deny Liu Cun's recommendation, as long as Mi Zhu can serve as the pastor of Xuzhou, the Mi family will soon win the glory that generations have been praying for.
