Chapter Seventy-Three: Tragic (1st Update)

Just as Du Chen was about to return to Du Mansion, suddenly the horn sounded at the east gate, and when he heard the horn, Du Chen rode his horse and ran towards the east gate of Xuchang City.

Du Chen led his troops to the east gate quickly, and at this time the city wall was still very quiet, and there was no noise at all, which made Du Chen feel a lot more relieved. But after the peace of mind, there was worry, and it was clear that the horn was not a joke. Lu Bujun is here today, but at this time, people are gathering strength. Walking quickly up the city wall, Du Chen found Cheng Yu with a bitter face. At this time, Cheng Yu was looking out of the city helplessly, and in this matter, Du Chen clearly heard Lu Bu being frantically scolding under the city. At the same time, Lu Bu under the city wall scolded Zhengshuang. Although he knew that his method was useless at all. But he still couldn't help but use this method to express his uneasy feelings. On the side, Chen Gong looked at the picture in front of him and didn't say anything. Although Lu Bu's move is a bit naïve, it is also a way to increase his momentum. Although this move had little effect, since Lu Bu liked it, let him go, anyway, it was not himself who scolded people, so why should he bother to ask for his own trouble. Lu Bu scolded for a while, and then felt a little dry before stopping. Riding his horse back to the front of the formation, he turned his head to Chen Gong and asked, "Sir, you can attack now." Chen Gong nodded with a dark face, in fact, he could have attacked a long time ago, if it wasn't for Lu Bu to scold the formation, he would have almost been able to attack the city of Xuchang City now. Offensive! With Chen Gong's approval, Lu Bu commanded the soldiers under his command. Then, I heard the soldiers screaming and attacked Xuchang City. Soon, Xuchang City will begin to stage an extremely tragic battle again. Unlike last time, this time Lu Bu's army came prepared, which made the Cao army defending the city suddenly under great pressure. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the past few days, the defenses above the city walls have also been improved. With the help of soldiers and civilians, all the rolling logs and stones were carried up the city wall. On the city wall, the two of them looked at the surging Lu Bu army, and they were in an unusually bad mood. Although there are many more defensive facilities on the city walls, the situation is still not very optimistic. Lu Bu came to attack this time, obviously he was well prepared, and the same thing as last time would not happen. Moreover, a herald has just sent news that the two city gates in the north and south have also found traces of the enemy, and it seems that there is a suspicion of attacking the city. This is obviously to disperse the garrison in the city, but if you don't take precautions, if the two city gates really attack the city, then you will be passive. So he was very helpless, and Du Chen ordered people to arrange 300 soldiers to guard the city on each of the two city gates. "Kill!" Lü Bu's army had already entered the attack range of Cao's army, and this time the soldiers did not use Du Chen's reminder to launch an offensive against Lü Bu's army alone. The bow and arrow were shot down as quickly as if they didn't need money. Soon, Lu Bu's army took the lead in casualties. However, the rain of arrows on his head could not stop the momentum of Lu Bu's army, and despite the rain of arrows, Lu Bu's army still rushed towards Xuchang City. With the passage of time, someone has touched the city of Xuchang City, and then with the arrival of the soldiers carrying the ladder, the ladders began to be supported, and then Lu Bu's soldiers began to look forward to the ladder to climb beyond the Xuchang city wall. "Put!" Seeing that people began to climb the ladder, the rolling logs that had been prepared long ago were put down by Cao Jun, who was defending the city. As the rolling wood rolled down the ladder, the soldiers of the Lu Bu army, who had climbed to the general level, were given the rolling wood, and then fell heavily into the crowd, and their life and death were uncertain. However, there are too many ladders on Xuchang City this time, no matter how tightly the Cao army defends, there will always be fish that slip through the net, and soon there will be soldiers of Lu Bujun who climbed to the city wall of Xuchang City. However, it was difficult for only a few people to do anything, and soon a few people were strangled by Cao's army on top of the city. However, as time passed, more and more Lu Bu's army climbed to the city wall of Xuchang City, and at this time, the defenders on the city wall looked a little dwarfed. And the more this happens, the more enemy troops will be on the walls. On the city wall, Cheng Yu glanced at Du Chen, and then saw Du Chen nodding helplessly. Then Cheng Yu gave an order, and the reserve army that had been preparing for a long time finally came up. Due to the injection of fresh power, the enemy army on the city wall was soon quelled by Cao's army. Under the city wall, Lu Bu's camp, seeing that his soldiers finally rushed to the city wall of Xuchang City, Lu Bu suddenly felt refreshed, and even more arrogantly said to Chen Gong next to him that he could take Xuchang City in a battle today. But before he was done with his pride, the soldiers who climbed the city wall were torn apart by Cao Jun, which made Lu Bu feel a little shameless. "A bunch of rubbish!" Looking at the soldiers who were knocked down the city wall, Lu Bu said with great annoyance.

The war was cruel and abnormal, several hours of fighting, on the walls of Xuchang and covered with blood, from a distance, the entire Xuchang City exuded a somewhat evil blood-red light. Under the city walls, Lu Bu's soldiers were densely covered. The scene is like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which makes people can't help but feel creepy when they look at it. But in such an environment, the walls of Xuchang City are still fighting desperately. I don't know how many times Lu Bu's army attacked the city wall of Xuchang, and I don't know how many times it was beaten down by Cao's army. Anyway, all the wars revolved around the walls of Xuchang City, and Lü Bu's army attacked the walls of Xuchang City several times, and Cao's army beat Lü Bu's army down several times. In the Lu Bu military camp under the city, Chen Gong looked at the time and the proportion of casualties, turned his head and said to Lu Bu behind him: "Wen Hou, today's offensive will stop here." After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't know if he was dissatisfied with Chen Gong or dissatisfied with not capturing Xuchang City. However, Lu Bu did not give an order immediately, but waited for a while, and saw that there was still no much progress on the city wall, so Lu Bu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. With the withdrawal of Lu Bu's troops, the defenders of Cao's army sat on the city wall one by one exhausted. Several hours of fighting and draining everyone's bodies. The reason why they can still fight is all because of a belief in their hearts. Looking at the exhausted soldiers, Du Chen felt a lot of unbearable feelings. I have long known that today's war will be very difficult, but this arduous Cheng Dù has given Du Chen a headache. Today alone, Du Chen sent two reinforcements, which made the already small number of soldiers in the city even less sufficient. In the end, Du Chen could only listen to Cheng Yu's construction and began to recruit ordinary young adults in the city as reserves. However, for these temporary backs who have neither been on the battlefield nor used weapons to kill, Du Chen is very unoptimistic. In such a tragic war, such a soldier is not even as good as cannon fodder. But the matter has come to this point, and Du Chen has no way, and there is only this way. "The enemy army is withdrawing, Silang is going to rest, it's good to have Yu here." Upstairs at the city gate, Cheng Yu said to Du Chen with a little tiredness. Du Chen also turned his head to look at Cheng Yu weakly, and then said, "Zhongde go and rest first, it's good to have dust here." Cheng Yu smiled, and then said: "It's better for you to go, hand over the city defense to you, Yu is not at ease." Hearing Cheng Yu say this, Du Chen could only nod. As for the city defense, since Cheng Yu is in charge of it alone, he really has no room to criticize it, so in the end, he can only go down and rest. However, when he was leaving, Du Chen told Cheng Yu to replace Cheng Yu after a while, and Cheng Yu only nodded slightly, and then began to get busy. Today's battlefield heralds the beginning of Xuchang's offensive and defense, and it can be met that after today, the offensive of Lu Bu's army will become more and more fierce. In the face of the increasingly brutal war, Du Chen couldn't help but feel a headache. In the absence of reinforcements, and without knowing when the reinforcements would arrive, Du Chen really felt a little helpless. He began to wonder, wondering how long he could hold out. After waking up leisurely, Du Chen rubbed his slightly swollen head, and then left his mansion with the worried looks of Qin Xi, Cai Yan, and Zhang Ning, and walked towards the gate of Xuchang City. When he arrived at the city gate, Du Chen arrived at Cheng Yu, but found that Cheng Yu was already asleep on the table at this time. Seeing this, Du Chen felt quite unbearable in his heart, and then took off a robe and gently draped it on Cheng Yu's body, and then he slowly retreated with Dian Wei. Walking slowly on the city wall of Xuchang City, the soldiers on the wall saw Du Chen's arrival, and they were all in good spirits. But even if they tried so hard to pretend that they were very energetic, the thick tiredness on their faces betrayed the essence of their hearts. Seeing the soldiers one by one, Du Chen immediately felt that they were extremely cute. Du Chen waved his hand and said to a few soldiers: "There is no need to be like this, Chen is not a wicked person, why do you want to see Chen like this." After listening to Du Chen's words, the soldiers suddenly relaxed a lot, and some of them even showed a hint of chuckle.
