Chapter 139: Circumference Three

Not long after Zhang Liao lay down, the war on the walls of Pengcheng began. Of course, it's not that he wants to lie down, it's really Zhang Liao's body is a little unbearable. In the past few days, Zhang Liao fell asleep very late every night, and in the morning, he woke up early.

is so tossed, even if Zhang Liao is an iron man, his body can't support it. And the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command were very concerned about their commanders, so everyone signed a joint name to let Zhang Liao take a good rest.

In the face of such a result, Zhang Liao could only accept it gladly. After all, this is a piece of kindness from the soldiers under his command, how can Zhang Liao refuse.

But not long after Zhang Liao lay down, the sound of fighting made Zhang Liao sit up suddenly. Hearing the sound of fighting from everywhere not far away, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly sank. At this time, he did not have the slightest sleep, and hurriedly got up, put on his armor, and hurried in the direction of the city wall.

And the closer he got to the city wall, the more intense the shouting and killing became, and Zhang Liao's mood became more and more depressed. Judging from the current situation, the Cao army outside the city must have launched a general attack. Listening to the tragic sound of the fight, Zhang Liao knew that Cao Jun had climbed the city wall and started to fight with his soldiers.

When Zhang Liao came to the city wall with his own soldiers, the situation in front of him almost made Zhang Liao's eyes black (Zhang Liao should not be anemic). Now the form is in jeopardy, the soldiers of the Cao army have occupied most of the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city are constantly retreating, and they know that the city wall is no longer protected.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Liao suddenly felt a little weak. Now that the general trend has gone, on the city wall, there is an endless Cao army. I'm afraid it won't be long before the walls change hands. And lost the protection of the city wall, and took the more powerful Cao army to fight.

But what if you don't fight. Now that the gates of Pengcheng are surrounded by Cao's legions, even if they have the heart to retreat, they can retreat in that direction.

And at this time, a scout suddenly ran to Zhang Liao's side and said, "General, the Cao army at the east gate has retreated, let's retreat quickly." ”

Hear the scout finish. Zhang Liao's face changed, but Du Silang's plan was really good. If the soldiers defending the city were not given a way to survive, they might have fought to the death, but now that these soldiers are given a way to survive, their minds will change drastically.

And the news that reached his own ears also reached the ears of other soldiers in a very short time. It was only at this time that Zhang Liao understood that it was obvious that Cao Jun had made complete preparations in order to attack Xuzhou. Just by that point, you know. Cao Jun must have planted a lot of fine works in Pengcheng.

But now is not the time to talk about this anymore, as the news spread throughout the city in a very short time, it immediately reduced the morale of the Lu Bu generals who defended the city. In the face of the Lu Bu army, which had no momentum, the Cao army became more and more courageous, which made the city wall quickly lost.

At this time, Zhang Liao also knew that he had no power to return to the sky. And the friend's heart and soul camp has not yet been dispatched. And according to the current situation, even if the camp is trapped and joins the battle, there is no way to fundamentally change the disadvantage of the war. So after all the things considered. Zhang Liao still decided to withdraw his troops.

His purpose in Pengcheng was to delay the speed of Cao's attack. Help Lu Bu's main army successfully return to defend Xuzhou City. And judging from the current situation, he has completed the task assigned by Chen Gong very well.

Peng Cheng has been dragging Cao Jun for about a month, and during this time, presumably Chen Gong has already prepared his defenses. When he retreated at this time, he naturally didn't have much pressure, even if he lost Pengcheng. Presumably, it won't be like that.

In the whole of Xuzhou, the most important thing is Xuzhou City. As long as Xuzhou City is still in his hands, he still has the ability to fight. Moreover, under the defense of the lord and Chen Gong's military division, Xuzhou must be as tight as an iron bucket. So even if the Cao army is overwhelming. I'm afraid I won't be able to break through Xuzhou.

Therefore, as long as he holds on to Xuzhou City, after Cao's army withdraws, he still has the ability to recover the lost territory.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao waved his hand, and then retreated towards the east gate with the remnants of the defenders. And the trapping camp of his friends is the top priority, so Zhang Liao specially ordered the 700 trapping camp to be at the forefront of the breakthrough, and he was the first to rush to the front.

With Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's trapped camp rushing forward, coupled with the desire to win of Lu Bu's soldiers, they broke through the very simple defense of the east gate very easily. After breaking through the simple defense set up by Cao's army, Zhang Liao did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took his soldiers and fled to the east.

The successful breakthrough made every soldier of Lu Bu's army feel very happy, and in any case, he finally escaped from the encirclement of Cao's army. But before they could laugh, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly cast a shadow on the hearts of all Lu Bujun.

You know, you're on the plains of a flat river. Such terrain is most suitable for cavalry raids. And it is clear that Cao Jun did not choose to let himself go. They arranged a large number of cavalry on their way to destroy themselves on this plain.

In the face of such a cruel situation, in addition to cursing Cao Jun, the soldiers of Lu Bujun hated why they didn't have many legs. In this regard, Zhang Liao's reaction is very ordinary, after all, he knows that the Cao army has a very elite cavalry and archery Qinglong battalion, it is said that the soldiers of the Qinglong battalion are the White Tiger Battalion when they get on the horse, and the Suzaku Battalion when they get off the horse and raise the bow is the Xuanwu Battalion, and more importantly, they are well-deserved good hunters.

However, what made Zhang Liao feel uneasy was that it was rumored that the Qinglong Battalion was only more than a hundred people, and now such a shaking from the ground was obviously not something that more than a hundred people could break out, and if you wanted to make such a big move, you must have more than a few thousand cavalry.

As the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, more than a hundred cavalrymen riding black war horses and carrying bows and crossbows appeared in front of Lu Bujun's eyes, followed by thousands of soldiers on black war horses and wearing black battle armor. Seeing this typical attire, Zhang Liao could see at a glance that the cavalry in front must be the Qinglong Battalion. Behind is the White Tiger Battalion!

When the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion appeared in front of Lu Bu's rout, they quickly picked up the Du's repeater crossbow they were carrying behind their backs, pulled the crossbow and shot arrows, and their movements were very skillful, without a trace of mud and water. And before Lu Bujun had screened it, Bai Mayi had already fallen from the first wave of arrow rain.

Because Lü Bu's army was a rout, it did not make any defensive measures at all, which made Lü Bu's army suffer heavy losses immediately. After a rain of arrows, at least 500 soldiers fell to the ground, and many were shot by the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion, so they lost their mobility.

Next, wave after wave of arrow rain caused Lu Bu to suffer extremely heavy losses. What shocked Zhang Liao was that the soldiers of Cao Jun's Qinglong Battalion were really in vain. Because every arrow they use is very accurate, if they don't have a defense, they will suffer heavy casualties.

However, this was only the beginning of the nightmare, and with the arrival of the White Tiger Battalion behind, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. After the soldiers of the Qinglong battalion dismounted, they took out the bows and crossbows behind them and sniped at Lu Bu's army, while the White Tiger battalion rushed into the rout and carried out Du Chen's so-called firewood operation......

And after seeing the White Tiger Battalion appear, all the soldiers of the Lu Bu Army were even more panicked. Especially watching the White Tiger Battalion gradually catch up with him, then these soldiers don't know what to do. They kept cursing, cursing Cao Jun for how he was.

But even if they scolded, they couldn't stop the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion.

Watching his soldiers fall in pieces, Zhang Liao felt that his heart was dripping blood. These soldiers are all elite teachers in Xuzhou, and they have been trained by themselves for a long time and have deep feelings. And now watching them harvest a lot, how can Zhang Liao be in a good mood.

In an instant, Zhang Liao had an idea in his heart, that is, to turn the head of the gun and rush towards the black-armored iron horse. However, reason still prevailed over Yiqiē, and the situation in front of him was very clear, even if he led the trap camp to kill this group of cavalry, there would be only one end, and that was a thousand choices of friends, and the trapped, which had been trained for a long time, would disappear from this short contact.

Although the trapping camp is strong, they are infantry after all. In the face of such a strong cavalry, especially in the favorable terrain for the cavalry, if an infantry attacks the cavalry, it is definitely like sending them to death. He has already sacrificed some of his soldiers, and he will definitely not let the soldiers trapped in the camp go to their deaths.

After the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion harvested a large number of soldiers of the Lü Bu army with their repeaters, they put away their crossbows one after another, mounted their horses, drew their weapons, and launched a charge towards the Lü Bu rout.

At this time, Zhang Liao already had some strange thoughts. After all, the appearance of this cavalry has shocked him in particular. Coupled with the extreme lethality that they had just burst out with their repeaters, it was normal to charge at this time. (To be continued......)
