Chapter Seventy-Two: The Capture of Wu
In the white night, Lu Bu led Dian Wei, Hou Cheng, and Cao Xing generals to lead three thousand wolf horses towards Yi Wu.
The sound of hooves of three thousand horses galloping at the same time should have been earth-shattering, but because of the heavy snow, the snow on the ground was too deep, and the sound of horses' hooves was invisibly canceled out.
Lu Bu led the crowd to attack Yiwu, and Jia Xu led the crowd to retreat to Longxi to avoid the edge of the Ma Han army, but fortunately, it was the New Year, and the Ma Han army had no intention of fighting, so Jia Xu was able to retreat safely.
Ma Han defeated Dong Zhuo, the morale of the whole army was shocked, it coincided with the New Year, Ma Han and the two let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and wait until the year later, spring came, when the cultivation had just begun, the grain and grass of Dong Zhuo's army in Longxi would inevitably be exhausted, and then lead the crowd to attack, and the remnants of Dong Zhuo in Longxi had a decisive battle, and it could be easily eliminated.
Facing the wind and snow, Lu Bu's expression was solemn, this attack on Yiwu was a great matter, if Li Su and Guo Yan were willing to donate the materials, such a result would be the best, but if these two were unwilling, then there was only one battle, from the three aspects of time, place, and people, if they fought, they would suffer a lot.
When it was snowing, it was snowing heavily, and it was not easy to fight, especially if his wolf cavalry was still the attacker, and he was already tired when he led the crowd to come, but the other party was waiting for work.
Although Dong Zhuo was out of Chang'an, only half of it was repaired, but after Li Su and Guo Yan were stationed, they would be re-strengthened, and their wolf riders were not good at attacking the city, so they would definitely suffer.
After the wolf rider was commanded by himself, his morale was greatly boosted, but after running so far, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the morale would be damaged, and the enemy was guarding Yiwu, according to the terrain and his own circumference, as long as his side could not attack within a day, he had to retreat, because the dry food brought by the attack was only enough for three days to consume.
Thinking of these questions, Lu Bu suddenly felt that his head was big.
"Big brother, Yi Wu has arrived! Do we use Dong Zhuo's name to put pressure first, or do we attack directly? Hou Cheng asked.
Lu Bu said: "This is the New Year, it's not good to fight and kill, first send someone to tell Li Su and Guo Yan, just say that I am here, with Dong Zhuo's order." Test their reactions, and if they don't, attack them! ”
Three thousand wolves rode against the heavy snow, stood under the city of Yiwu, and looked towards the city.
The guards on the Wu immediately discovered the wolf rider and hurriedly went to the warm room to wake up Dong Ming from the bed.
Dong Ming was startled when he heard that a large number of cavalry had arrived under the city, this Li Su and Guo Yan ran to fight Chang'an City on the front foot, and someone came to fight Yi Wu on the back foot, what's wrong? These people acted as if they had said yes, and they worked together on the snowy night of Chinese New Year's Eve.
"I am Lu Bu, I came here on the order of the Taishi, where are Li Su and Guo Yan? Don't come out and answer yet! Lu Bu shouted.
When the soldiers in the city heard Lu Bu's name, they all trembled, and then their hanging hearts fell, Lu Bu, his own family.
When Dong Ming heard Lu Bu's name, his face jumped, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wen Hou, are you really Wen Hou?" I am General Li's lieutenant, and my name is Dong Ming. ”
"Li Su's lieutenant? What about Li Su? When I came here, he didn't come out to greet me. Lu Bu asked.
Dong Ming said: "Wen Hou forgiveness, until I can't prove your identity, my general will not come out." ”
Dong Ming didn't dare to say that Li Su and Guo Yan had gone to attack Chang'an City, because until now he hadn't figured out whether this Lu Bu was real, and it would be bad if Wang Yun sent someone to pretend to be it.
"Phew! Children in the city, can Lu Bu still have a fake? You look at his red rabbit horse, his Fang Tian painting halberd, can this be fake? If you don't open the gates, don't blame us for being rude. Dian Wei pointed to Dong Ming in the city and shouted, in this cold day, his body is still a little warm when he moves, standing here without moving, the cold wind can stab people to death.
As soon as Dong Ming heard this, his heart beat faster, and said: "I can't see clearly in the heavy snow, I don't know if there is a token in the temperature, throw it up and take a look at me." ”
Lu Bu took out Dong Zhuo's letter from his arms, and then shot it with an arrow, Dong Ming picked up the letter and read it carefully.
"Wait for forgiveness, if there is only such a letter, I will not be able to open the city gates." Dong Ming said very simply.
"Do you want to freeze us to death? Open the gates quickly, or I'll be rough in my life. Dian Wei shouted irritably.
Dian Wei's roar made Dong Ming even more sure that Lu Bu and the others must have been sent by Wang Yun to pretend, but Wang Yun is really stupid, his nest is about to be knocked down, and he also sent someone to deceive me, it's really stupid!
Dong Ming affirmed what he was thinking, and immediately smiled and said: "You must have been sent by Wang Yun Lao'er, you want to trick me into opening the city gate, it's really wishful thinking, come and release arrows!" ”
The city's crossbowmen immediately prepared to shoot with arrows.
"Damn!" Dian Wei was furious.
"Big brother, this city is very high, and it is very difficult to storm it!" Hou Cheng said.
"No matter how difficult it is, I have to attack, but what makes me wonder is that Li Su and Guo Yan should have come out to see how much when they hear my name, why haven't they shown up." Lu Bu wondered.
Cao Xing said: "Maybe it's really cool for these two people to stay in bed, and they don't want to come out and get cold." ”
Lu Bu didn't speak, and seeing that the soldiers in the city were about to shoot arrows, Lu Bu immediately ordered to retreat three miles back.
When the arrows on the city of Yiwu were not shot, Lu Bu ordered a strong attack.
Because the raids were all cavalry, they couldn't bring any large siege equipment, only some simple siege equipment.
"Leave a thousand cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry will all dismount and prepare to attack the city!" Lu Bu ordered.
As soon as he heard about the siege, all the people came to the spirit, and Dian Wei took the lead, climbed the ladder to the sky, and rushed towards Yi Wu quickly.
"We can't afford to be left behind!" Hou Cheng saw that Dian Wei was so brave, not to be outdone, and followed Dian Wei to climb up the city.
Lu Bu jumped off the red rabbit horse, let Cao Xing lead the rest of the cavalry to stay in place, and rushed forward himself.
When the two thousand cavalry saw that Lu Bu was taking the lead, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all fought bravely and rushed towards Yiwu.
"Quick! Shoot the arrows! Don't let them rush up! Dong Ming saw that Lu Bu and others were forcibly attacking the city, and immediately commanded the left and right to resist.
The speed at which Dian Wei climbed the ladder stunned the defenders of the city, and they had only shot a few arrows before Dian Wei rushed in front of them, and when Dian Wei's fierce face appeared, the guards fled in fright.
"Waste, just one person, scared you like this, what a bunch of waste, don't go kill him quickly!" Dong Ming saw Dian Wei rushing up and scared away a lot of soldiers, and scolded angrily.
When the soldiers saw that Dian Wei was only one person, they immediately stopped being afraid, raised their weapons and killed Dian Wei.
"Ignorant child, let you see the power of Grandpa Dian!" Dian Wei took the halberd from behind his back and fought with the soldiers who pounced on him.
"It's not good, someone is about to rush up again, when did Wang Yun Lao'er's soldiers become so powerful!" Dong Ming said in horror.
A group of vanguard soldiers such as Lu Bu and Hou Cheng climbed towards the city at a super fast speed, only to see the guards in the city stunned.
Hundreds of soldiers on this side fought with Dian Wei, and blood splashed, melting the snow on the city.
"Monsters!"
More than half of the hundreds of soldiers were killed or wounded by Dian Wei's twin halberds, and the remaining soldiers fled in fright.
"Useless waste, you can't even clean up one person, what use do I want from you!" Dong Ming saw the defeat of his own soldiers killed by Dian Wei, he scolded angrily, took off the sword at his waist and killed Dian Wei.
"Look for death!" Dian Wei shouted, and when he saw a soldier on the ground fleeing and dropped, he kicked a big knife away with his foot.
"Poof!"
Dong Ming looked at his chest in disbelief, the big knife was inserted into his heart impartially, and blood came out "poof".
"How did Wang Yun's subordinates become so powerful~~~" Dong Ming let out the most awesome cry.
"We surrender! We surrender! ”
After Lu Bu and the others rushed up, before they could confront the defenders, they heard the surrender of the defenders.
“X! Waste our time! Dian Wei glared and scolded.
Lu Bu didn't expect this siege battle to be completed so easily, he looked at the soldiers who were lying on the ground and surrendered, frowned, and hurriedly pulled a person who looked like an officer and asked, "Where are Li Su and Guo Yan?" We're all besieging the city, so why haven't they shown up yet? And how few of you have here! ”
The man was frightened and hurriedly said, "General Li and General Guo led most of them to attack Chang'an City." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed out loud, he originally thought that attacking Yi Wu would be a tough battle, who would have thought that the degree of ease was beyond imagination, it turned out that he had picked up Li Su and Guo Yan's cheapness.
"Big brother, we sent it!" After Hou Cheng and Cao Xing counted the materials stored in Yi Wu, they ran to Lu Bu excitedly and said.
"Immediately let people load the car and transport it to Longxi." Lu Bu said.
Hou Cheng and Cao Xing hurriedly nodded to do it.
Dian Wei was not interested in these things, and sat in the hall, drinking warm wine with pleasure.
Lu Bu leaned against the city wall and looked towards Chang'an City, the snow was all over the sky, covering his vision, and he couldn't see what was happening in Chang'an at all.
"Not good! These two people went to attack Chang'an City on such a snowy day, either their brains were advanced, or they were completely sure! Lu Bu stomped his foot suddenly, and hurriedly asked people to prepare horses, he wanted to go to Chang'an City to have a look, in case Li Su and Guo Yan attacked Chang'an, could he also fish in troubled waters and rescue Yan and Diao Chan?
"Big brother, where are you going?" Hou Cheng saw Lu Bu's hurried appearance and asked.
Lu Budao: "I'll go to Chang'an to have a look, Hou Cheng, the supplies are loaded, you and the brothers will be escorted to Longxi immediately, and I will come later." ”
"Big brother, you can't go alone!" Hou Cheng said.
"I'll take a hundred horses." Lu Bu said.
As he spoke, Lu Bu stepped onto the red rabbit horse, and a hundred horsemen quickly gathered behind him.
"Let's go!" Lu Bu shouted.
The city gate opened again, and Lu Bu led a hundred horsemen to rush towards Chang'an City.
"Huh? Brother, where are you going? Take me with you, too! Dian Wei walked out drunk, saw Lu Bu leading a hundred horsemen away, shouted anxiously, threw the wine jar in his hand to the ground, Dian Wei hurriedly found a horse, and chased Lu Bu.
Before Hou Cheng could react, Dian Wei had already run out for hundreds of meters, "Alas, how can this guy be like the shadow of the eldest brother, where the eldest brother goes, he follows there." ”
