Chapter 851: Qin Jun's Embarrassment
At the foot of the city wall, Lu Bu brandished a halberd, crisscrossing among the Cao army, one by one Cao Jun was picked out by him, and the ladders on the city wall were also scattered by him one by one.
However, in an instant, Lu Bu scattered seven or eight cloud ladders in a row, and the Cao army who died under his halberd was also as many as dozens of people.
"Don't get away with Lu Bu!" Watching the battle at the foot of the city wall, Cao Ren drew his long sword and shouted.
The partial general standing behind Cao Ren heard his shout and hurriedly waved his hand behind him.
The standard-bearer who gave orders in the Chinese army, when he saw the partial general waving his hand, he also hurriedly waved a small flag, urging the Cao army, which was fighting in front, to launch a fierce attack on Lu Bu.
After receiving the order, Cao Jun at the foot of the city wall let out a burst of shouts and rushed towards Lu Bu.
Seeing Cao Jun rushing towards him, Lu Bu pulled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, waved a halberd at Cao Jun who pounced on him, and then shouted towards the city wall: "Drag General Ben up!" β
The Qin army, who was dragging the rope on the city wall, heard Lu Bu's shout, and hurriedly pulled the rope and pulled him towards the city.
Cao Jun, who surrounded him, saw that Lu Bu was dragged up in the air by the Qin army on the city wall, and rushed up in a swarm while he couldn't be on the ground under his feet.
If it was an ordinary general, this group of Cao troops chose the best time to kill.
It's a pity that they are facing Lu Bu, not ordinary generals.
At the moment when this group of Cao soldiers rushed up, Lu Bu drew a halberd in his hand and drew a semicircular arc of light in front of him.
The Cao army that rushed to him couldn't dodge, and many people were slashed by the arc of light, and their bodies spurted blood and fell to the ground.
Just the moment when Lu Bu repelled the Cao army, he was dragged up half of the city wall by the Qin army on the city wall.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Many Cao soldiers were still stunned, and one of the Cao army officers was the first to come back to their senses and hurriedly shouted to the nearby Cao army archers.
has been suppressed by Lu Bu bravely, Cao Jun's archers all watched in amazement as he was dragged up the city wall, and when they heard the officer's shout, they came back to their senses and put their arrows on the bowstring.
Although the officer's reaction was quick, the archer's movement of drawing his arrow and putting on the bowstring was somewhat slow.
When they raised their longbows and aimed at the city wall, there was still Lu Bu's shadow on the city wall, and he had already been dragged up by the soldiers of the Qin army.
On the city wall, as soon as Lu Bu's feet hit the ground, Yu Poison strode towards him.
"Wen Hou is brave, if it really dominates the world, it is rare to meet opponents!" When Lu Bu approached, Yu Poison bowed down to him with his fists in his hands, and praised him with admiration.
Lu Bu clenched his fists, gave Yu Poison a salute and said: "The general is wrong, although a certain is a fight under the city, but Cao's army is strong, if our army sticks to the city, Shouchun will still break sooner or later." In the past few days, you and I must work together and wait for help! β
"Warm wait!" Lu Bu said that he wanted to wait for help, Yu Poison groaned for a while, and said to him: "I'll wait to defend the city, is it really what His Highness wants to see?" β
"What do you mean?" Yu Poison's words made Lu Bu frown, now is the critical period for Cao's army to attack the city, as a general defending the city, he said such a thing, and couldn't help but make Lu Bu wonder if he would abandon the city and flee.
Seeing that Lu Bu's expression showed a hint of annoyance, Yu Poison knew that if he said something bad, he was afraid that Lu Bu would turn his face on the spot, and he didn't dare to respond immediately.
Seeing that Yu Poison didn't speak, Lu Bu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Could it be that General Fei doesn't want to defend Shouchun to the death?" β
"No!" When Lu Bu asked this, his tone was already very unkind, and Yu Yu hurriedly said: "The last general just thinks that our army is defending Shouchun, and His Royal Highness is afraid that he will not send reinforcements, at most it will only make people come to respond!" β
"You mean......" As soon as Yu Poison's words fell, Lu Bu asked with a puzzled expression: "Your Highness wants to give up on me?" β
"That's not what the Admiral meant!" Seeing that Lu Bu was thinking badly, Yu Poison looked at the Cao army who was still attacking the city outside the city and said: "Wen Hou came to help Shouchun, but was intercepted by the Cao army halfway, Cao Jun is probably ready to besiege the city and send reinforcements!" β
The leader came to the aid of Shouchun, but was beaten by Cao Ren in the middle of the road.
This matter has always been a shame in Lu Bu's heart.
At this time, Yu Poison mentioned that Lu Bu was already depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to jump out of the city wall again and fight with the Cao army under the city.
However, he didn't do it, since Yu Poison would say that thing in front of him, there must be something to say later, and Lu Bu also wanted to hear how Yu Poison analyzed the battle situation.
"If His Highness sends troops to the rescue again, I'm afraid that he will be ambushed by Cao's army! If the last general's guess is good, it goes without saying that His Royal Highness will send troops, but my army's reinforcements will probably only wait in the area of Xiangling, and when Wen Hou leads the army out of the city, they will respond! Looking at Lu Bu, Yu Poison finally said what was in his heart.
"A certain leader out of the city?" After hearing Yu Poison's words, Lu Bu sneered and asked him, "Then what is General Yu going to do!" β
Looking at the Cao army, which was still attacking outside the city, but the offensive had subsided a lot, Yu Poison sighed lightly and said: "The last general was ordered to guard Shouchun, since the city is in the people, the city is broken, and the people ......are dead."
Just thought that Yu Poison had other plans, and he didn't expect him to say such a thing, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, stared at him and asked, "If it's really as the general said, wouldn't the general be ......?" β
"This is not the time to talk about the future!" Lu Bu asked Yu Poison about his plans, Yu Poison grinned, lifted the two short axes, and said to Lu Bu: "When the reinforcements come, it's not too late for the two of us to make plans!" β
Looking at Yu Poison, although Lu Bu was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't continue to ask.
Although Cao's offensive has subsided a lot, it is still continuing to attack the city wall, and this is indeed not the time to discuss the way back.
Lu Bu was poisoned to Shouchun, and the two armies also drove out of Luoyang City.
Shouchun and Xia Cai are only separated by dozens of miles, starting from Luoyang, and the two armies are also walking together along the way.
Zhang Liao and Tai Shici led the army and rode at the front of the procession.
"Wen Yuan, Cao Cao's sudden attack on our army this time was already expected by His Royal Highness, but Cao's army was able to defeat the 30,000 troops under Lu Bu's command, which was really beyond our expectations!" While moving forward slowly, Tai Shici said to Zhang Liao: "Xia Cai is the important place for Cao Jun to occupy Huainan, and Wen Yuan is afraid that it is ......."
"Ziyi is too worried!" Before Tai Shici's words were finished, Zhang Liao smiled slightly and said to him: "Xia Cai, it is north of Shouchun, if the Cao army wants to attack Xia Cai, it must first break Shouchun, and then cross the Huai River. This expedition, Ziyi must be more cautious! β
"What Wen Yuan said is not bad!" Nodding, the corners of Tai Shici's mouth twitched slightly, and he said to Zhang Liao: "If Your Highness wants to go to Xia Cai, you only need to station the army on the Xiangling Tomb, and then wave the battle flag, so that the defenders in the city know that I have waited!" I have been thinking about His Royal Highness's deep meaning these days, and it has always been a rare point! β
"His Highness intends to give up Shouchun!" As soon as Tai Shici's words were finished, Zhang Liao sighed lightly and said: "In the first battle of Shouchun, our army really suffered too many casualties. Before the Cao army besieged the city, it was already preparing for reinforcements. At present, Cao Jun is already like an iron bucket around Shouchun, how can he not send reinforcements? β
In fact, he had already figured out Liu Wei's intentions, and the reason why Tai Shici said this was to pave the way for the next sentence, and wanted to know how Zhang Liao would do it if he encountered this kind of thing.
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he asked in a low voice: "If a certain person is not stationed in Xiangling, but leads the army to attack behind Cao's army, what does Wen Yuan think?" β
"I'm afraid it's going to be wiped out!" As soon as Tai Shi Ci said his plan, Zhang Liao said unceremoniously: "The reason why His Royal Highness made such an arrangement must be because of the deployment of the Cao army, and Ziyi acted rashly, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to rescue Lu Bu and others from Shouchun, but he will also bury the lives of 20,000 soldiers in Shouchun!" β
Although Liu Wei arranged for Tai Shici to only garrison troops near Xiangling and not to attack Cao's army, he did not grasp the deployment of Cao's army.
After LΓΌ Bu's army was defeated by Cao Ren, all the scouts sent to the Shouchun area failed to bring back useful information.
Some scouts, even in the Shouchun area, never returned to Luoyang!
Liu Wei's arrangement was based on the decision made by Cao Jun near Shouchun to kill the service capital so thoroughly.
Listening to Zhang Liao's words, Tai Shici was stunned for a moment.
He saw Liu Bian's intentions and knew that Liu Bian had given up Shouchun.
In his mind, if he suddenly attacked the back of the Cao army, he might be able to defeat the Cao army, thus lifting the siege of Shouchun.
But what Zhang Liao said made Tai Shi Ci muttered a little in his heart.
If Cao Jun really had subordinates, and he acted rashly, the 20,000 army might really fall into the trap of Cao Jun, just like the 30,000 army led by Lu Bu earlier!
The two armies were made together and advanced towards the Huainan boundary, and the siege of Shouchun City also entered the end for the time being.
After a whole day of attacking, the Cao army left countless dead bodies under the city wall, and the injured Cao army was countless, but Shouchun City was still standing, and the banner of the Qin army on the city was also hunting and flying with the wind.
Standing in the Chinese army, Cao Ren frowned slightly, staring at the Shouchun city wall in the distance, thinking about how to break through this city standing on the bank of the Huai River.
Shouchun, in the last years of the Warring States period, was the capital of the Chu State, when Qin Shi Huang's army attacked this city, it also paid a heavy price.
The army defending the city now is the Qin army, which is known for its toughness.
After the previous interception, the Qin army was very severely reduced, and the morale of the soldiers also reached an unprecedented low.
In this case, the Cao army attacked the city, and the Qin army in the city still swore to defend the city, and the Cao army that attacked the city did not even have a single one who actually set foot on the city.
Continue to attack, I am afraid that by the time Shouchun City is breached, more than half of Cao's army has already suffered casualties.
Just when Cao Ren was at a loss when he looked at Shou Chuncheng, a soldier quickly ran behind him, clasped his fists and said to him: "General Qiqi, the military advisor has sent a letter!" β
