Chapter 294 Xuchang Offensive and Defensive

"The Cao army on the city wall listens to me, come down quickly and surrender, and I will leave you with a whole corpse. Don't wait for me to be fair to Xuchang, otherwise I will vomit you to death! Outside Xuchang City, Lu Bu shouted outside the city with Fang Tian's halberd in one hand.

His confidence is very sufficient, Rao is Zhao Fei and Xun Yu, who have not yet climbed the city wall, and they both heard it very clearly. And obviously, Lu Bu's deterrent power is also very amazing. But at this time, it is too late to do the act of faith. You must know that the military and the people of Xuchang at this time can be regarded as one, and Lu Bu's provocation at this time is a little insufficient.

Zhao Fei and Xun Yu finally went to the city wall. The two came to the edge of the city wall, and Zhao Fei looked towards the city through the female wall, and found that Xuchang City was surrounded at this time. Looking at the energetic enemy troops outside the city, Zhao Fei was extremely depressed. He had just racked his brains to eliminate Lu Bu's forward, but now it seemed that Lu Bu's soldiers did not seem to have a lot of influence on that matter.

Lu Bu shouted under the city for a long time, but still no one came to open the city gate. But it's no wonder that if someone surrenders with a few words, it will also make Lu Bu feel suspicious.

Looking at myself yielded no results. Lu Bu sat on the red rabbit horse, and then said with a general wave of one hand: "Siege!" ”

With Lu Bu's voice, I saw that the soldiers of Lu Bu's army were shouting hoarsely while heading towards Xuchang City.

Looking at Lu Bu's army, which was getting closer and closer, Zhao Fei suddenly felt that his mood was a little bad. Turning his head to look at the Cao soldier not far away, he found that the soldier was trembling at this time.

Zhao Fei paused slightly, and then walked towards your soldier. When he came to the soldier's side, the soldier didn't seem to notice Zhao Fei. At this time, Zhao Fei suddenly said, "What's the matter, are you scared?" ”

When the soldier heard Zhao Fei's words, he was stunned at first. Then he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to find that Zhao Fei was looking at him with a smile on his face. Seeing Zhao Fei, the soldier felt a little frightened. Especially when he heard Zhao Fei ask like this, the soldier's face was naturally very abnormal. Then I saw the soldier with his chest straight, and then said loudly to Zhao Fei: "Tell my lord, I'm not afraid." ”

Seeing the appearance of the soldier, Zhao Fei smiled. Then Zhao Fei said: "There is no need for this, everyone will have their own fears and their own fears." And in the face of the menacing Lu Bu, even I am very scared, let alone you. ”

Hearing Zhao Fei bluntly say that he was scared in his heart, the soldier suddenly didn't know what Zhao Fei meant by this.

At this time, Zhao Fei said again: "But even if I am afraid of death, I have to go hard, after all, there is my wife and child within the city wall, and there is my lover who needs to be protected within the city wall, so even if I fight for my life, I will not let Lu Bu step into Xuchang." ”

Zhao Fei almost roared, after all, the roar seemed very morale-bearing. Hearing Zhao Fei's impassioned words, the soldier was immediately shocked. Not only the soldier, but even the soldiers who heard it around looked at Zhao Fei with a look of surprise.

Then I saw Zhao Fei pointing to Xuchang City behind the city wall and asked loudly: "In the second city, are there any people who want to protect?" But are there those who want to free their lives and save them? ”

"There is !!" All the soldiers shouted, and the voice was simply resounding in the sky.

"In that case, then kill all the enemies who come to attack! Let them know that there is no mercy for those who violate our homeland! In the end, Zhao Fei yelled at the soldiers guarding the city.

"Kill !!" The soldiers roared again, but with this roar, the entire soldiers defending the city sat down and prepared, and not only prepared, but also greatly improved the morale of the entire Cao army.

Looking at Cao Jun, who was surrounded by murderous aura, Zhao Fei nodded with satisfaction. And at this time, Lu Bujun's army still entered the attack range of Cao's army. I only heard Zhao Fei pointing at Lu Bujun under the city and shouting: "Release!" ”

With Zhao Fei's angry shout, Cao's soldiers began to attack Lu Bu's army under the city. With the shooting of bows and arrows, this also means that the offensive and defensive battle of Xuchang has finally begun. At the same time, this was also the first time Zhao Fei participated in the battle to defend the city.

Under the city wall, Lu Bu's army braved the rain of arrows and launched a desperate attack on the city of Xuchang. However, because Lu Bu's army had just arrived, there were not too many siege facilities, and even there were only a few cloud ladders, which made Lu Bu's army very difficult when attacking the city.

Looking at the city of Xuchang that had not been able to go to Xuchang for a long time, Lu Bu couldn't help but be angry. But no matter how angry Lu Bu is, no matter how Lu Bu supervises, Lu Bu's army has any way to take the Cao army with such a majestic city wall.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu and attacked for nearly an hour. However, several people also attacked the city wall of Xuchang. And a few people are just a few small Lang flowers for Cao Jun, and they didn't cause a trace of waves at all.

Seeing that the attack was so unsmooth, Chen Gong found Lu Bu and said: "General, yesterday's new victory of the Cao army was like a rainbow, and our army was just defeated and our army did not have many cloud ladders after a long journey, so such a strong attack is probably just a consumption of its own soldiers, and it has no impact on Xuchang at all." ”

After listening to Chen Gong's advice, Lu Bu obviously realized this situation, and saw that his army was still under the city wall and was still trying its best to climb the city wall of Xuchang. Lu Bu pondered for a moment, and then said to Chen Gong beside him: "Pass my order, Mingjin will withdraw the troops." ”

Knock knock~~ A hurried gong sound remembered. Hearing the sound of the gong, LΓΌ Bu's army began to retreat in an orderly manner. On the city wall, Zhao Fei also heard Lu Bu's sound of gold, and then the whole person sat down on the main seat.

"Ha !!" As Lu Bujun's army faded like a tide, cheers erupted from the Xuchang city wall. I saw that every soldier defending the city was unusually happy, they were celebrating, celebrating their victory.

Through this victory, Zhao Fei clearly discovered the difference between this group of soldiers. The original Cao Jun did not have any murderous aura, but now you can find that everyone's happy face has a trace of murderous aura, and it is obvious that this victory is a good experience for all the soldiers. But even so, the current situation is not very promising.

Today is just Lu Bu's tentative attack, and after Lu Bu recovers, he will face Lu Bu's most ruthless blow. Moreover, Lu Bu did not have any siege equipment in this battle, and even some of the ladders he brought were of different heights. Some can't even reach the walls of Xuchang. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Bu will definitely make a cloud ladder to attack the city, which shows what a cruel war Xuchang City needs to face next.

Lu Bu military camp outside Xuchang City, inside the camp tent at this time, Lu Bu was angry in the tent. His own cavalry was crippled by others, and his offensive was defended by others, and even the enemy's city walls were attacked, how could this not make Lu Bu angry.

On the side of the tent, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in anger and did not speak. For the lord in front of him, Chen Gong can't say that he appreciates or hates it. Lu Bu's bravery is absolutely not to say, and the soldiers under his command are also considered to be strong generals, and there are several powerful generals under Lu Bu. But the only drawback is that I don't like to use my brain. And the most important point is that Lu Bu in front of him does not have any great ambitions, which is the most dissatisfied with Chen Gong.

And this was also discovered through Chen Gong's time with Lu Bu in the past few days. I thought that a brave person like Lu Bu should have a strong desire to attack, but whenever he arrived, Lu Bu did not have this desire at all. In Chen Gong's eyes, Lu Bu belongs to the kind of person who is content with the status quo, if it weren't for someone attacking his interests, he wouldn't attack others easily.

Waiting for Lu Bu to be angry for a while, and then he fell silent again, and then Lu Bu asked Chen Gong beside him in a calm voice: "Gongtai, do you have any way to help me break through Xuchang City." ”

Lu Bu's words brought Chen Gong back to his senses, and then Chen Gong looked up and found that Lu Bu was looking at him hopefully. Then Chen Gong coughed lightly, and then said: "The art of war is cloudy: 'Go to the army to attack and strategize, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then attack the city. And it is unwise for the general to come up and choose to attack the city today. If the general does this again, the palace has no choice. ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu thought about it, then got up and saluted the Chen Gong and then said, "Sir, I know that I am wrong, and I hope that Mr. will help me." ”

Hearing Lu Buken's confession, Chen Gong nodded decisively, and then said to Lu Bu: "Now our army is double with Cao's army, but if you only attack one, it will be difficult to open it, so in my opinion, if you want to surround it, choose one as the main attack direction and the other two as a supplement." There were not many Cao troops in the city, so this would not only disperse the Cao army's forces, but also make it exhausting. ”

"Do what Mr. Ann says!" After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu nodded, and then asked people to call Gao Shun and Hou Cheng, and then asked the two of them to bring thousands of soldiers to besiege the other two gates of Xuchang City.

After doing this, Chen Gong said again: "The soldiers who led our army here are somewhat tired, and the morale of the soldiers who are newly defeated has been affected, so we should revise the siege for a few days." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded, and he also agreed with this very much.

Then Chen Gong said again: "Also, our siege equipment is not enough. And I didn't expect that Xuchang City had changed so much in Cao Cao's hands, and the city wall had been increased so much, which made many of the cloud ladders we had prepared unusable, so in addition to the above matters, I ordered someone to supervise the construction of cloud ladders. ”

"I'll arrange for someone to do it!" Lu Bu nodded, and then prepared according to Chen Gong's words.
