Chapter 67: Opportunity

However, it was said that after Lu Bu rushed to the vicinity of the suspension bridge with his soldiers and horses, there were less than 1,000 men and horses left in his hands, which can be said to be a heavy loss, with more than half of the casualties.

Since Lu Bu led the troops, although there have been many unfavorable battles, it is the first time he has encountered such a wretch like today, and he is really angry in his heart, and he can't wait to be able to eat Dong Shouye alive.

Although he was ruthless in his heart, the current shape was very severe, and if Lu Bu didn't deal with it properly, he would probably be here.

Lu Bu, who was galloping, turned around and saw that the Xiliang Army was following behind, as if he wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize the drawbridge.

At this time, a junior general under Lu Bu said: "Lord, the current situation is in danger, and the last general asks for the Lord's decision, please ask the Lord to agree!" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but when he saw that his shape had deteriorated, he could only do so, so he nodded towards the young general.

Seeing this, the young general shouted: "Brothers, come with me!" With more than a hundred knights, he turned his horse's head and charged at the Xiliang army in turn.

Lu Bu took this opportunity to cross the drawbridge and return to the vicinity of the city gate, and then shouted towards the city tower: "Wang Situ, quickly let Lu Bu enter the city!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Yun hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and Lu Bu in.

Zhang Bao led his cavalry to kill all the way, and he was about to catch up with Lu Bu, but when he saw that some of Lu Bu's troops were broken, he also charged towards him, so he was furious in his heart and shouted: "Kill all these people who stand in the way!" Let these miscellaneous see the majesty of my Xiliang Army! ”

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the young general who was behind the broken cavalry of Bingzhou.

I saw Zhang Bao raise the weapon in his hand and stab it fiercely at the young general. The young general wanted to resist but was not Zhang Bao's opponent, and the spear in his hand was cut off by the big knife in Zhang Bao's hand, and Zhang Bao was killed on the spot.

After killing the leader, Zhang Bao was extremely majestic, and with a big knife in his hand, he killed several small soldiers one after another.

In the face of Zhang Bao's more than 2,000 cavalry, these more than 100 knights were simply mantis arms as a car, and they were killed by the Xiliang cavalry before they could be killed.

At this time, the suspension bridge began to rise slowly, and Zhang Bao shouted when he saw this: "Don't let the suspension bridge rise, kill me!" ”

After finishing speaking, he rushed over first, and when he was close to the drawbridge, the mount under the control of zhì jumped lightly, and even jumped on the suspension bridge with his horse, and the soldiers under his command jumped on the suspension bridge according to this method when they saw this.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen cavalrymen were transferred to the drawbridge, and when they reached the drawbridge, they ordered their mounts to jump up and fall heavily, adding as much burden to the drawbridge as possible.

These dozen cavalry companies with horses combined with a weight of 10,000 catties, and on the suspension bridge, they also took the opportunity to jump and waved the weapons in their hands, trying to cut the iron chain of the suspension bridge, and this tossing down suddenly broke the iron chain on the suspension bridge.

I heard a loud bang, and the drawbridge fell heavily to the ground, and it could no longer be lifted.

Seeing this, the Xiliang cavalry behind immediately rushed over, crossed the drawbridge, and attacked the city gate.

At this time, the city gate had not been completely closed, and the Xiliang cavalry was extremely fast, and soon rushed into the city gate and fought with the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Li Meng, who had been following behind the cavalry, shouted: "The fighter plane is in front of you, all the soldiers will kill it together and occupy the city gate." ”

After the order was given, the men and horses under his command began to gallop wildly.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao, who rushed to the forefront, rose up with great might, brandished the big knife in his hand, chopped left and right, killed several people in a row, and rushed into the city gate, but saw a team of defenders holding spears in their hands, standing in a row opposite, behind them was a team of archers, and after seeing Zhang Bao, he didn't talk nonsense, and what was coming was a wave of arrow rain.

Zhang Bao dodged left and right, almost being shot, and seeing the huge pressure, he lay down on his horse, and at the same time dodged out of his position, allowing more cavalry behind him to enter.

Seeing this, Lu Bu, who rushed into the city gate, turned his horse's head and rushed towards Zhang Bao, who was fighting near the city gate, with a loud roar.

Zhang Bao's martial arts could not be Lu Bu's opponent, a few rounds had passed, and he felt that he couldn't resist, so he would explain here if he didn't leave, so he turned around and left, and at the same time continued to command the men and horses to rush inside, wanting to use the numerical advantage to resist Lu Bu.

But seeing that Lu Bu rose up to his might, he danced the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand with a tiger and a tiger, killing more than ten people in a row in the blink of an eye, and everyone was afraid of his divine power and did not dare to continue to move forward.

With the great god Lu Bu guarding the city gate, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army could no longer rush in.

After Zhang Bao's cavalry was killed and retreated, the gate slowly closed.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao could only lead the troops back, and after walking a few steps, he met Zhang Liao and Li Meng who came in a hurry.

Zhang Liao asked, "Captain Zhang Bao, why did you withdraw from the city gate at such a good opportunity?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao sighed and said: "After Lu Bu entered the city, he reflexively guarded the city gate, and Zhang was not his opponent, so he could only retreat. ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he comforted: "Lu Bu's martial arts are strong, but everyone knows it, Captain Zhang Bao doesn't have to take this matter to heart, and then he can show the lord!" ”

When Zhang Bao heard this, he was relieved a lot, and still asked without giving up: "Captain Zhang Liao and Captain Li Meng, I don't know if there are any rushing cars in the two armies. If we have a chariot in hand, we can also attack the city gate directly. ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "It's in a hurry, it's too late to carry it!" ”

Li Meng said: "At this time, the fighter plane has been lost, and the counterattack on the city tower is about to begin, if we force this place to stay, it will only increase casualties, and we will return to the army as much as possible!" ”

When the two heard this, they each led their men back to the army.

Not long after, the defenders on the city gate took advantage of this gap, and immediately organized men and horses to attack the soldiers of the Xiliang Army under the city tower.

However, because Zhang Liao, Li Meng, and Zhang Bao saw the opportunity early, they slipped away in a relatively timely manner, and did not cause any major casualties.

After the three of them returned, they formed a formation according to their previous strategy, escorting catapults to attack the city walls.

I saw the stone bullets flying in the sky, making a whistling sound, and slamming into the city wall, smashing the city wall to pieces and almost collapsing.

The catapults on the city wall were destroyed by the catapults of the Xiliang Army, but it was too late to build on the spot, and there was no suitable wood, so the counterattack in the city was almost zero, and the catapults of the Xiliang Army were even more arrogant.

After a period of continuous bombardment, the catapult's stone shells were basically exhausted, but the effect was also very obvious, causing countless casualties to the defenders in the city, and basically completely destroying the long-range defense system in the city.

The war has entered an even more tragic stage, and the white-knuckle battle is about to begin.
