Seeing that Gongsun Pei Zhizhu was in his hand, Liu Cun didn't say much, ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and quickly put on his armor under the service of the two guards, and at the same time, he laughed in a low voice to Mi Zhu, who was full of worry:

"There is something I have to ask my brother, once the city is broken, please ask my brother to quickly rush to the city government to protect the families of Lu Fengxian, Chen Gongtai and others."

"No problem!"

Mi Zhu nodded in agreement, but soon asked suspiciously, "You...... You want me to protect that strange woman named Diao Chan, right? ”

"Hey, what's all this dirty stuff in your head? Don't you know that our army has always acted in a way that harms your family? ”

"I don't care what strange woman she is, I don't care what she looks like, and I don't care what the wives and daughters of Lu Bu and Chen Gongtai and others look like...... I only ask for the smooth defeat of these people in exchange for Chen Gongtai's return! ”

"Don't forget, the scheming Chen Gongtai's talent in administration is definitely not below you and me, far stronger than the short-sighted and selfish Chen Qi father and son, with good use of Chen Gongtai, Xuzhou's future will be very hopeful, understand?"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, you can do whatever you want, I have to rush to the front of the army as soon as possible to cheer up the army."

After Liu Cun finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and he didn't see any signs of insincerity, which caused Mi Zhu to sigh and sigh. Only Gongsun Pei, who was silent with a smile, knew that Liu Cun's thick black kung fu could be regarded as a cultivation home.

Liu Cun's personal departure once again aroused the earth-shattering cheers of tens of thousands of cavalry, even if a very small number of soldiers had already seen the abnormality of the commander Wang Qi, which in turn caused many doubts and deep worries. But seeing that Liu Cun, the lord who has been invincible and invincible since his rise, he personally came out to lead him to fight. All worries were thrown out of the nine days in an instant.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong in the city had just returned to the palace to rest. Hearing the cheers of the earth-shattering, and then receiving the opponent's sudden morale and seemed to be about to attack the city, I had to rush to the East Gate Tower to find out, and soon saw that Liu Cun, who made them extremely worried, actually waved his flag and rode his horse in front of tens of thousands of cavalry outside the city, galloping back and forth without scruples, triggering tens of thousands of elite cavalry round after round of cheers.

Lu Bu had the intention to once again imitate the cold arrow that was shot at Wang Qi before, and shot Liu Cun off his horse. Even if you can't kill them instantly, at least you can hit the morale of the other party.

However, Liu Cun, who was riding a tall horse, was wandering, deliberately keeping a distance from the city wall, and was surrounded by a large number of captains, so he couldn't find a chance to make a move. In this case, Lu Bu and Chen Gong looked at each other, losing the mood to speak for a while, and each saw the deep worry and helplessness in each other's eyes.

On the other side, the generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who stood side by side against the female wall, were deeply shocked. They can clearly see at a glance whether they are elites or not, and they not only see the huge crisis that is coming. For the first time, I also felt a sense of powerlessness and even fear.

Such an army, such a military spirit, such a morale, is no longer something they can shake.

At this moment, Lu Bu and the others did not know that the fortifications that the enemy troops outside the south and north gates had been building since the morning and had not stopped until now, contained a danger hundreds of times greater than in any direction.

Under the cover of the military array and two long defensive fences, baskets of earth were covertly transported to the rear of the army and dumped, and four tunnels in two directions, already under the frozen moat, were digging evenly under the foundations of the walls on both sides of the south and north gates.

In the early morning of the next day, the Qingxu coalition army, which had withdrawn to the camps of all sides and rested overnight, surged out again and soon returned to the position before the evacuation yesterday evening.

Liu Cun, Gongsun Pei and Mi Zhu, who got up early, finally waited for the most important report: "Sixteen coffins full of explosives have been placed in place, and the four blasting points on both sides of the north and south city gates have completed the final preparations, and they can be lit at any time with a precisely calculated fuse with double insurance!" ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, his face was flushed with excitement, and he rubbed his hands and walked around the tent. Seeing this, Liu Cun shook his head and whispered to the herald, ordering the soldiers in the north and south directions to retreat to a safe distance before detonating.

Gongsun Pei was satisfied to send away Liu Cun and Mi Zhu, who were wearing armor and rushing to the front of the army, and once again sighed for Lu Bu's foolishness and Chen Gong's suspiciousness:

Lu Fengxian didn't seize the last opportunity to lead his troops to break through overnight, and Chen Gongtai, who was full of jewels, didn't seem to have won Lu Fengxian's full trust, but it was unimaginable that the two of them could still get to this point...... This has come to this, and I am afraid that this is the end of their lives! ”

"Bang bang—"

The sky had just brightened, and the rumbling war drums suddenly sounded outside Pengcheng.

All the soldiers of the Lu Bu army in the city who had not had time to eat rushed to the city walls in panic, and Cao Xing, the general who had climbed the east gate tower first, looked into the distance through the thin morning mist, and suddenly found that there were two more rows of dense wooden piles two miles long outside the city gate.

These two rows of wooden piles arranged in an arc are firmly enclosed in the center of the east city gate, and there is a faint rope connection between the wooden piles, and more than 20,000 Qingxu cavalry have been neatly arrayed, all the cavalry are standing under the horses, holding the reins, silently watching the chaotic city head.

An extremely bad premonition suddenly came to Cao Xing's heart, and in a panic, Cao Xuan asked loudly if he had reported to the lord urgently? After receiving an affirmative answer, Cao Xuan relaxed slightly, shook his head vigorously, put aside all selfishness and distractions, ran behind the female wall on the inner side in a few steps, and nervously looked at the direction in which Lu Bu appeared in the city.

"Boom-"

Before Cao Xing could stand firm, two earth-shattering explosions rang out, and the towering towers in the north and south directions disappeared in a blink of an eye in the fierce smoke and firelight.

The sky was full of broken bricks and tiles, mixed with countless stumps and broken arms rising into the sky, countless houses in the city collapsed between the shaking of the ground and mountains, and the streets were full of fallen bodies and falling rubble and wooden beams.

The two military camps closest to the north and south gates were bombarded by huge rockets flying from outside the city, and they suffered heavy casualties and were in shambles, and the rows of crumbling barracks soon burst into flames and then burned to pieces.

What is extremely strange is that in the continuous sound of explosions and howls one after another, most of the houses in the city are still closed, like headless flies running in the chaotic crowd between the streets and alleys, very few people in civilian clothes, almost all of them are soldiers of the Lu Bu army who are scattered, and even around the two large dwellings near the north and south gates that have been destroyed by frequent violent explosions and fires, there are not a few civilians running and wailing.

However, at this time, Lu Bu and his generals were all running left and right and were tired of parrying, where could they still take care of all kinds of abnormalities in the city?

In the midst of the extreme chaos, there was once again the bad news that tens of thousands of Qingxu coalition troops had poured into the gap in the hundreds of zhang of the city wall that had collapsed in the north and south.

Knowing that the general situation was gone, Lu Bu and Chen Gong could no longer take care of their families and soldiers whose life and death were uncertain in all directions, so they quickly gathered their own guards and thousands of cavalry led by Zhang Liao to break through with all their might towards the west of the city.
