Gaolu City, on the wall of the south gate, Hu Zhen looked at Lu Bujun who was slowly retreating under the city with a heavy face, a trace of exhaustion appeared in his eyes, and his brows were tightly locked.

At this moment, Hu Zhen's body was covered in blood, and there were many more gaps on the long knife, obviously he had just experienced a hard battle.

The remaining Xiliang soldiers on the city wall, like Hu Zhen, are mostly disgraced and covered in blood, and many of them are still injured.

When Lü Bu's army first started attacking in the early morning, they didn't realize that this would be a fierce battle.

Although the garrison of the Upper Continent lost two thousand, there were still six or seven thousand men and horses, and although some people did not trust it, there were still five thousand people who might use it.

And the number of Lu Bu's army attacking the city was only four or five thousand, and when the number was equal, Hu Zhen's side could easily occupy the advantage with the help of the city wall.

Moreover, one side of Lü Bu's army could only attack from the northern city, and the other three sides were not suitable for attacking the city because of the mountains and rivers.

With 5,000 people on close defense, even if tens of thousands of people attack for a while, there will not be much danger.

As a result, no one expected that when Lu Bujun was about two hundred steps close to the city wall, the sky suddenly became dark, and all the Xiliang troops subconsciously looked up, and then saw the scene that they would never forget in their lives.

Countless boulders fell from the sky like raindrops, black and pressing, covering the sky and the sun, and smashed towards the city head in a sharp whistling sound, instantly setting off patches of blood on the city head.

On the mountain west of Gaolu City, countless boulders are still screaming and soaring into the air.

Among Lu Bu's army under the city, Lu Bu himself rode on top of Chi Su, his eyes full of leisurely contentment.

In this era, trebuchets may be a rarity, but they are not very difficult to manufacture, and the productivity of this era is completely sufficient.

Liu Biao's side can have an improved trebuchet, not to mention Lu Bu, a character who has traveled from later generations?

Three hundred paces west of the Continent, there is an open flat land above the mountains.

Because the distance was too far, the arrows were completely ineffective, and there was a cliff between it and Gaolu City, and the defenders in the city did not expect to be hit from here.

The defenders did not expect that Lu Bu's side would come up with dozens of trebuchets with a range of 500 paces in just two days......

And at this moment, the boulder launched by the trebuchet completely became a murderous weapon.

"Ah......h

"Poof......

The screams, cries for help, and the sound of falling boulders rang out, and the southwest city wall instantly fell into terrible chaos.

Lu Bu's side took advantage of the deterrence of the boulders, quickly erected a ladder, and climbed the city wall continuously, and in the interval between the trebuchets launching, the defenders in the city had not yet reacted from the panic, and quickly occupied a small section of the city wall in the northwest corner of the high continent.

Fortunately, Hu Zhen reacted in time and quickly organized resistance, and the assembled Xiliang army took advantage of the unstable foothold of Lu Bu's army and quickly pressed them down the city wall, otherwise I am afraid that the north gate would have changed hands as early as the first wave of attacks.

Lü Bu's trebuchet and manpower attacks have been alternating, whenever the siege team is knocked down, endless boulders will wreak havoc on the city wall, although the defenders at this time have been prepared, but in the face of overwhelming boulders, there is still no way, morale is sluggish, the soldiers have no heart to fight.

If the rain of arrows comes, it can still rely on the wall battlements and large shields to defend tightly, but these boulders make all protection extremely fragile, and even the city walls have the slightest cracks.

As the war drums sounded, the Lu Bu army, which had just been repulsed, shouted as the dust settled in the city with their own boulders, and continued to rush towards the city wall.

This went on four times, and if it wasn't for the fourth time, it was already a little dark, maybe two more times would have been able to easily take Golu City.

As it was getting late, Lu Bu's side slowly retreated, and Hu Zhen and the others who were defending the city were also relieved.

In the Ya of Gaolu County, the lights were bright, but the tired Hu Zhen was not sleepy.

The waiter was dismissed, and Hu Zhen drank the stuffy wine alone.

Tomorrow...... At this time tomorrow, I will become Lu Fengxian's captive, right? Hu Zhen muttered to himself.

"General! Something is wrong! ”

A rush of footsteps sounded, Gao Lu County Cheng hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Hu Zhen, who was almost drunk, he couldn't help frowning.

"You're here? Come on, come on! And have a few drinks with me."

Hu Zhen was already seven points drunk at this time, and when he saw the county Cheng walking in, he waved at him with a smile.

"Oops!" The county stomped his foot angrily and snatched the wine glass from Hu Zhen's hand.

"When is it that you still have the heart to drink?"

"Huh?" Hu Zhen frowned, and glanced at the county with some displeasure.

"Is something wrong?"

The county looked around and saw that there were no outsiders present, so he was ready to speak.

"Sudden fires broke out in many places in the city, and the army and civilians were in chaos!"

"What?" The alcohol on Hu Zhen's body suddenly lost most of it.

It must be Zhang Xiu's people who are secretly playing ghosts!

"General, quick! Quickly gather all the generals, gather men and horses, and prepare to meet the enemy! The county didn't have time to think about it, so he opened his mouth and said.

Hu Zhen looked shocked, but quickly calmed down, and quickly sent fast horses, ordering the generals to gather men and horses to stand by, while putting on his own armor.

"General, there are fires in many places in the city...... "After Hu Zhenfang finished dressing, another person came to report the news.

Out of the room, as far as the eye can see, there are more than ten places in the city that are burning with raging fires, countless figures are running in a hurry, the sound of the fire burning and the panicked shouts and cries for help are all in one, and the entire Gaolu City has completely fallen into chaos.

"Lu Bu's army has entered the city!"

In the chaos, countless voices could be faintly heard shouting one after another.

Hu Zhen tightly locked his brows, and looked around, there was no shadow of half of Lu Bu's soldiers in the city, these voices should be mixed in the city to deliberately create chaos, and there were quite a few people.

But it was late at night, and even if they understood this, they had no way to control the situation quickly and effectively!

"Herald! The gates are sticking, and those who dare to approach the city gates without permission will be killed! ”

With years of experience in warfare, Hu Zhen was keenly aware of this, and he immediately issued an order to hold the city gate.

The enemy deliberately created chaos, nothing more than to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city, as long as the city gates were firmly controlled, there was nothing to worry about.

Hu Zhen, who gave the order, still did not relax.

"It seems that there are a lot of spies on our side...... But why didn't they just take the city gates, but instead created chaos to create siege opportunities? ”

Hu Zhen was thinking about it, but he suddenly sniffled.

"It's ......"

"That's not right!"

The smell of fire oil mixed with sulfur spread throughout the city. And far away...... Several huge fireballs flew closer in the distance......
