Chapter 659: Breaking into the city

The circumference of Puyang City is about fifteen miles, nearly three zhang high, there are four gates, the east is Binyang, the south is called Tongji, the west is called Dinghai, the north is called Jingbei.

Such a castle would certainly be worshipped as a miracle in Europe at the same time, and the capital of the Roman Empire, which dominated Europe, was only similar in scale. But in the Central Plains, where there are many Xiongguan, Puyang City is far from being the most grandiose, and it can only be regarded as not too shabby.

Rao is like this, when Wang Yu really faced this city, he still had a feeling of looking at the city and sighing.

The fire in the city is soaring, but the head of Binyang Gate is always dark and quiet, which is in sharp contrast to the chaos in the city. Wang Yu's heart sank slightly, Gao Shun's worries were indeed fulfilled, although Lu Bu's two major guards were loyal, their weaknesses were also obvious, and they were powerless to resist in the face of the dagger stabbed from behind.

Binyang Gate is not open!

"Go to Tongjimen!" The first three quickly reached a consensus.

No one proposed to call the door, and no one approached casually, so it is not difficult to guess that at this moment, there are probably hundreds of archers lurking on the city wall, just waiting for their side to approach, and ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison.

The team did not stop at all, bypassed the moat, and drove straight to the Tongji Gate in the southern city.

The closer to the city, the more clearly audible the noise in the city became, and Lu Qiling was so anxious that she drove her horse speed to the extreme, leaving even Wang Yu and his hundreds of light horsemen behind.

Wang Yu knew her anxiety, and while motioning for everyone to follow, he proposed to Gao Shun: "Xunyi, the matter is urgent, there are still some horses among the generals, why don't the generals choose a small number of elites to get on the horses and rush to Tongji Gate first?" ”

The speed of the forced march of the trapped camp was fast, but it was not comparable to the cavalry after all. From Wei Xu's containment to the abnormality of Binyangmen, all of what Gao Shun saw and experienced all showed the scale and danger of this rebellion. Although Tongjimen has Cao Xing, it is not foolproof. If you can arrive a moment early, you can eliminate a point of danger.

Gao Shun thought for a while, nodded, and replied: "Wang Huqi is really thoughtful, but the last general has something unclear. ”

"Why don't you speak up?" Wang Yu was stunned.

"Does the general really want to save my lord?" Gao Shun's question was very strange, and even Lu Qiling, who had no distractions and was in a hurry, glanced back. Although he immediately turned back, Wang Yu knew very well what his answer was. Girls are also very concerned.

"Why does Xunyi ask that?"

"With all due respect." Gao Shun arched his hand, apologized first, and then said bluntly: "Qingzhou's power is ten times that of Puyang, and the alliance with our army is nothing more than wanting to use the smallest price. Incorporate our army under your command. Now although the lord has agreed to marry, but after all, the two sides are only allies, with the temper of the lord, the general wants to achieve his wish, I am afraid there will be some twists and turns, if it is ......"

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear.

The most elite trap camp and most of the cavalry of LΓΌ Bu's army were stationed outside the city. If Lu Bu dies and Lu Qiling is by his side, Wang Yu will easily be able to incorporate these two strong armies, plus Zhang Liao, who went to Fan County to transfer troops. Lu Bujun's elite started here. The loss is at most Puyang City and half of the East County.

rescued Lu Bu, and the latter would not put gratitude on his face, with his somewhat awkward character. Maybe it's a bad thing. So, from a utilitarian point of view. Wang Yu shouldn't have worked so hard to save Lu Bu.

What's more, the situation in the city is unknown now, and in the worst-case scenario, it is likely that the city will be full of enemies. Even if Cao Xing is still insisting, it is very dangerous to enter the city smoothly and save people with one or two hundred elites.

The superior does not put himself in danger, this is a rule that has been handed down since ancient times, except for Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, there is probably no prince who must come to the battle formation in person every battle, and every battle must be the first.

However, whether it is the current Lu Bu or the former Xiang Yu, their presence in the battle array is a bit of a last resort.

Needless to say, Lu Bu has always been in a weak position in this game of hegemony. Although Xiang Yu had strong times, when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, he was at a disadvantage most of the time. Otherwise, when Pengcheng was in battle, he would not need to use 30,000 soldiers to deal with the 560,000 princes' coalition army.

With Qingzhou's strength, Wang Yu didn't need to take risks, but he did it, Gao Shun's question happened to the point.

Gao Shun is a person who is moody and angry, although the question asked is heart-wrenching, but Wang Yu can't judge his purpose from his words and demeanor, after a little consideration, he feels that this question can only be answered from the heart.

"I did think a lot about it before the alliance negotiations, but saving Wen Hou just did it subconsciously, and if you suddenly asked me so, I can only say that it is because I don't want to be too lonely in the future."

"Lonely?" This answer made Gao Shun very puzzled.

"yes, loneliness." Wang Yu sighed: "Xunyi, have you ever thought about what you will do after the world is reunified?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Shun is dull. Gao Shun was at a loss, and he couldn't figure out what Wang Yu was going to say.

"Military generals, there will still be wars in the future, Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu have opened up their territories to expand their territory back then, and after the revival of the Han Dynasty, they naturally have to follow the footsteps of their predecessors. Follow-up, you know? This world is big, we have to continue to open up, I am not enough alone, take the trapping camp as an example, no one in Qingzhou can train this kind of soldier now. The south is mountainous, and in the future, if you lead your troops to the south, you will definitely be like a fish in water, and maybe in your lifetime, you will be able to advance all the way to the southernmost tip of the mainland. ”

"......" is completely off-topic, and Gao Shun doesn't know how his question can cause Wang Yu to sigh like this, but the statement of waving the army to the south, marching south, and reaching the end of the earth does sound very exciting.

"In short, I hope that when the Great Han Expedition to the South and the North begins, the more people will stand by my side, the better. Let's fight together to lay down a big territory, so that where the sun can shine, there are dragon flags fluttering! Saving Wen Hou is just one of the small steps. ”

After expressing a lot of arrogance, Wang Yu laughed loudly: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, now is not a good time to get to know each other." Let's go, go to Tongjimen, enter the city to help Wen Hou and sweep away the rebellion. ”

"Whoa!" Gao Shun unconsciously clenched his fists in response, and it wasn't until he got on the horse that he realized that he had just performed a subordinate salute. And before that, he was obviously questioning the other party...... Is this the unique charm of the hussar general, which is legendary in the world?

……

It turned out that Wang Yu's caution was very wise, and at the same time that Wang Yu answered Gao Shun's doubts, Tongjimen was in the midst of a fierce battle.

"Hao Meng, you bastard can't die well! How the Lord treats you? You don't know it yourself, but everyone else sees it! Even the great crime of losing the pass and causing Luoyang to be raided was not punished, how can you be like this. Blatantly treacherous? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? ”

Cao Xuan and dozens of his guards were surrounded under the city tower, including himself, and everyone was covered in blood. The most serious wound on his body was a stab wound under his ribs, which was the mark left by Hao Meng when he approached when he was unprepared and attacked violently. If Cao hadn't gotten Wang Yu's hint first, he would have been somewhat vigilant, maybe this knife would have killed him directly.

Even so. His situation is also very unfavorable.

Hao Meng gathered momentum, and the sneak attack failed, so he immediately waved his army to attack, relying on the advantage of troops. Split Cao Xing and his troops, concentrated the main force to attack, and executed the decapitation tactics quite thoroughly.

"Conscience? Hmph, that's right. Lu Bu didn't hold me accountable for abandoning the pass, but it was because he made a mistake in decision-making! Cao Cao's strength is several times that of our army. He took the main force to capture Dongjun, and asked me to take thousands of old and weak to guard the pass, it's no wonder that I can hold it! Now he wants to send me out of Puyang again, go to Juyang to top the cylinder for him, and say what kind of meritorious atonement, two crimes are punished together, phew, I want to be beautiful! ”

Hao Meng brandished a blood-stained war knife, and laughed cruelly: "I can't afford to wait, Lao Tzu won't serve today!" ”

"Cao Xing, if you know each other, put down your arms and surrender, a certain guarantee that you will not be responsible for the past, and when the war in the city has a result, let's go to pursue Wang Yu together to make meritorious contributions. If you don't know each other, hehe, Lao Tzu recognizes you Cao Chengming, and the knife in Lao Tzu's hand must not recognize you! ”

Only halfway through the words of coercion and seduction, he swallowed it back, because he saw Cao Xing's left hand stretched out to his waist! He didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly hurried a cat's waist, and a lazy donkey rolled around, narrowly avoiding a quick arrow from Cao Xing.

Hearing a scream behind him, knowing that it was the guards who took the disaster for him, Hao Meng became angry and angry, and jumped to urge his subordinates to besiege: "Damn, dare to be stubborn?" Kill, kill them all! Lu Bupifu is already dying, and now Lao Tzu has sent all his loyal dogs to his funeral! ”

He is different from Hou Cheng's stupid people, he betrayed Lu Bu, not because of a battle of will, but a decision made after weighing, he thinks that only in this way can he get greater benefits.

Now he listened to Bao Xin's persuasion and chose Cao Cao, but if Lu Bu made the decision to break with Qingzhou, he might stand on Qingzhou's side and sell it to Wang Yu.

Since it has been decided, it must be carried out to the end, and only by completely sealing the four gates can Lu Bu have no chance to get lucky. Compared with the rescue outside the city, Hao Meng was more afraid of Lu Bu relying on martial arts and breaking through alone.

The overall strength of the rebels was not dominant, but they only took advantage of the existence of the Qingzhou Army and caused confusion in their thinking. If Lu Bu is allowed to go out of the city and gather the main force to counterattack after dawn, then his own people will only be completely annihilated.

Fortunately, Chen Gongtai was accurate, and it was expected that Lu Bu would not leave his wife and escape alone, and with Mrs. Yan's drag, by the time he realized that the situation was serious and wanted to escape alone, it was already too late.

This big thing is done, and he is the new Dongjun Taishou, and if you are lucky, you can also hope for the history of Yanzhou Thorn!

In front of this bright avenue, the only obstacle is this damn Cao Xing, it is him, who has caused himself to be unable to close the city gate for a long time, leaving this only flaw and way of life!

Right now...... His face changed suddenly, and he turned sharply to look to the east, and something seemed to be surging in the dark night, which made him uneasy and made his heart palpitate.

Before he could confirm the source of the uneasiness, Cao Xing, who was covered with several sores, suddenly laughed: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!" It's all cavalry! Traitor Hao Meng, when death is on the verge of death, don't you want to be arrested! ”

"How is that possible!" Hao Meng was shocked: "There are obviously no loopholes in the plan, where did these cavalry come from?" He screamed, "Quick, put the drawbridge away!" Ignore the winch, pull the hook and pull the drawbridge up! ”

"Death to the traitor!" It backfired, and before the rebel soldiers could fully comprehend his order, a fast horse had already broken through the darkness, and the red cloak glittered in the firelight, and even brighter than the red was the halberd in the knight's hand!

Ride south, burst into the city!
