Chapter 744: The Fall of Xuzhou

Protecting Diao Chan in front of him, Lu Bu brandished Fang Tian's halberd, led dozens of personal soldiers out of the official mansion, and killed all the way in the direction of the city gate.

The first target of the Cao army that poured into the city was the official mansion, but before the Cao army rushed to the front of the official mansion, Lu Bu had already led dozens of personal soldiers to meet them and kill them.

The soldiers and horses under the command of Wei Xu and others all betrayed Lu Bu, and the Cao army rushed into the city, the Xuzhou army had little decent resistance, and the entire city was full of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

Seeing Lu Bu rushing out of the official mansion, a member of the junior general Cao Jun shouted: "Lu Buxiu is leaving!" "Riding a horse towards Lu Bu and killing him.

was about to rush to Lu Bu's approach, and the young general of the Cao army raised his big knife and was about to slash down at Lu Bu's head.

But as soon as his big knife was raised, Lu Bu was already bursting with a shout, and the halberd in his hand slammed forward, stabbing the young general of the Cao army off his horse.

"Kill them all!" As soon as the young general of Cao Jun and Lu Bu exchanged horses, they were stabbed off the horse, and the other general, Cao Jun, did not dare to step forward, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Kill the woman who is protecting Lu Bu in front of him!" ”

After receiving the order of the general of the Cao army, a group of soldiers of the Cao Cao army shouted and pounced on Lu Bu.

Although there were a lot of them, how could they be taken into Lu Bu's eyes.

Wielding Fang Tian's halberd, stabbing left and right, the Cao army that rushed forward was knocked to the ground by Lu Bu.

Groups of Cao soldiers rushed up towards Lu Bu, and under Lu Bu's halberd, they fell down one by one.

Blood shot from the chest of the fallen Cao Jun, and streams of plasma splattered onto the chest of the Red Rabbit Horse, and even Diao Chan, who was protected by Lu Bu in front of him, was stained with hot blood on his face and body.

Riding a red rabbit horse, like a bolt of lightning, rushed into this Cao army, the general of the Cao army who shouted for the soldiers to kill Diao Chan did not understand what was happening, Lu Bu had already rushed to his approach.

When he arrived in front of the general of the Cao army, Lu Bu did not stab the halberd at him, but just shouted, grabbed the collar of the general Cao with one hand, and dragged him off the horse.

"Die!" With a loud shout, Lu Bu grabbed Cao Jiang's collar hand and slammed it to the ground, but the poor Cao Jiang didn't even have time to struggle, and his head hit the hard bluestone pavement.

Although the human skull is hard enough, where can it collide with a harder bluestone?

The head hit the ground, and the general of the Cao army didn't even have time to snort, and the brain melon seeds were like a broken watermelon, and the red and white slurry splashed everywhere.

Throwing people to death, it is more deterrent than using a halberd to provoke death, Lu Bu just threw Cao Jiang to death with just one combination, and the nearby Cao Jun saw that he was fierce, where did he dare to step forward.

Taking advantage of Cao Jun's fear, Lu Bu clamped his legs on the horse's belly, shook off the reins, and quickly rushed towards the city gate with Diao Chan.

After a fight, only a few of the dozens of pro-soldiers who followed him remained.

Glancing back at his own soldiers, Lu Bu shouted at them with a sad face: "You are waiting to follow behind you!" ”

The few remaining soldiers answered, followed Lu Bu, and quickly rushed towards the city gate.

Just as Lu Bu was rushing forward along the street, more than a dozen men dressed in black suddenly jumped out of the street in front of him.

Wielding a halberd, he was about to rush towards the group of men, but Lu Bu heard one of the men shouting to him: "Wen Hou, come with me!" ”

Hearing the man's greeting, Lu Bu was about to ride his horse over, and the man then shouted: "Please wait for Wen to abandon the horse and walk!" ”

The man asked him to abandon his horse and walk, and Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.

He knew very well that if he abandoned the Red Rabbit Horse, once he entered the ambush of the Cao army, there was no possibility of him and Diao Chan surviving.

But right now, the city is full of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and his red rabbit horse is too eye-catching, and it may be difficult to escape from the city while riding it.

With just a flash of thought in his brain, Lu Bu made a decision, he turned over and jumped off the war horse, hugged Diao Chan as well, and pulled Diao Chan into an alley with those men.

The book title soldiers who followed behind Lu Bu would not lag behind, and they also jumped off the horse and followed Lu Bu and the others into the alley.

"Who are you waiting for?" After entering the alley, Lu Bu found that they were getting closer and closer to the city gate, so he asked the men running in front, "Why do you want to help me and wait?" ”

"We are the dragoon guards under the command of King Qin!" The leading man turned his head and shouted at Lu Bu: "Wen Hou don't be suspicious, I'm just here to help Wen Hou evacuate Xuzhou!" ”

Knowing that it was the dragoon guards under Liu Wei who led the way, Lu Bu didn't say anything more, but his face was slightly ugly.

On the same day, he launched a mutiny to storm the Luoyang Palace, and almost killed Liu Wei.

Now that Liu Wei is repaying his grievances with virtue and ordering someone to come to his rescue, how can Lu Bu not feel emotional?

But now is not the time for Lu Bu to sigh, it is the dragon cavalry guards who know that Lu Dao is leading the way, Lu Bu has already relaxed his heart, pulled Diao Chan, and rushed towards the Xuzhou City Gate behind the more than ten dragon cavalry guards.

Cao Cao's army entered from the west gate, and the dragoon guards led Lu Bu away, but it was the east gate of Xuzhou City.

Although the east gate is also guarded by Cao Jun, the defensive strength is much weaker than that of the west gate.

Through the streets and alleys, avoiding Cao Jun all the way, Lu Bu and the others soon arrived near the east gate of Xuzhou.

As soon as he arrived in the alley near the east gate, Lu Bu saw an acquaintance.

The acquaintance he saw was none other than Deng Zhan!

Seeing Lu Bu and Diao Chan coming, Deng Zhan clenched his fists and arched at him and said, "Don't come here Wen Hou!" We learned that there would be chaos in the city, so we made arrangements in advance, hoping to lead Wen Hou out of the city. ”

"Even if you go out of the city, I'm afraid you won't be able to lead the army to continue to fight with Cao Jun!" hugged his fist and saluted Deng Zhan, Lu Bu showed a touch of shame on his face, and said to Deng Zhan: "On that day, a certain leader plotted to rebel, and now His Royal Highness is actually repaying his grievances with virtue, please ask the general and others to risk entering the city to rescue, and in the future, a certain person will be ruined, and he will also repay His Highness and the general's kindness!" ”

"If Wen Hou wants to report His Highness's kindness, he will only go to Xiapi after leaving the city, and if he can delay Cao Cao for a few days, he will delay him for a few days!" Smiling at Lu Bu, Deng Zhan said to him: "Your Highness, now the soldiers and horses are about to go south to Huainan, and Cao Cao is also going to attack Huainan. Whoever makes the first move will have the first opportunity......"

"The general doesn't have to say it anymore, he will do it!" Without waiting for Deng Zhan to finish speaking, Lu Bu arched his fist at him and said, "It's just that there is a request!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Diao Chan, although his eyes were flashing with reluctance, the expression on his face was full of determination.

"Rest assured!" Seeing Lu Bu looking at Diao Chan, Deng Zhan already knew what he wanted to say, and arched his fist towards Lu Bu and said, "I will escort the princess and the military advisor to Luoyang and Xiapi, and there will be General Zhao's tiger guards to answer the wait!" ”

Nodding, Lu Bu tightly clenched the Chinese Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand, and said to Deng Zhan: "That being the case, what are the generals waiting for?" ”

Knowing that Lu Bu was in a hurry to get out of the city, Deng Zhan didn't say more, and turned his face to look at the city gate that was already close at hand.

Near the city gate, a group of Cao troops ran back and forth, and the city gate had also been occupied by the Cao army.

Chen Gong had indeed been escorted out of Xuzhou by Huang Sheng and others, and Huang Sheng and others were able to successfully kill out, just because the Cao army had not yet occupied the entire city at that time.

But the current situation is different, not only the city gate is occupied by Cao's army, but even at the head of the city, there are many Cao Cao's soldiers.

"Wait for two pillars of incense, how many Cao Jun armors can you get?" Staring at the city gate, Deng Zhan whispered a question to a dragoon guard behind him.

"About 300 sets!" After a little mental calculation, the dragoon replied in the same low voice.

"Let's get 300 sets!" At present, there are more than 400 dragoon guards in the city, and more than 300 sets of clothes and armor are definitely insufficient, Deng Zhan said to the corresponding dragoon guards without thinking about it: "After changing into clothes, you wait to escort Wen Hou and the princess out of the city, and this general will lead the rest of the soldiers, and wait until the evening to make plans!" ”

"General!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Deng Zhan, and the dragoon guard said to Deng Zhan: "My subordinates are willing to stay in the city, please go out of the city!" ”

"This is a military order, dare you disobey?" Glaring at the dragoon, Deng Zhan waved his hand and said to him, "Go and get Cao Jun's armor!" ”

Deng Zhan said the military order, and the dragoon guards didn't dare to say anything more, and beckoned to a group of dragoon guards behind him, leading them to quickly jump out of the alley and into another alley.

"Wait warmly and with ease." Seeing the team of dragoon guards leaving, Deng Zhan turned his head and said to Lu Bu: "I will definitely ensure that Wen Hou and the princess are well-prepared!" ”

"There's General Lau Dun!" He hugged his fist and arched towards Deng Zhan, but Lu Bu's gaze also stayed on Cao Jun at the city gate.

The resistance of the Xuzhou army in the city became more and more sporadic, and some Xuzhou troops who dared to resist the Cao army were surrounded by the Cao army and annihilated one by one.

The shouting and killing in the city became smaller and smaller, and Deng Zhan and Lu Bu both knew that once the shouting and killing stopped, Cao Jun would conduct a large-scale search in the city, and it would probably not be easy for them to rush out of the city at that time.

Although Deng Zhan only gave the dragoons who ran out of the dragon guard a stick of incense, the time of this stick of incense seemed extremely long in the current situation.

Delay in the city for a while, and you will have a better chance of being discovered by Cao Jun.

Although the Dragoons are strong, they have a great disadvantage after all, that is, they are too few in number.

In large corps operations, a team like the Dragoons, whose main combat methods are raids and stealths, is of no use at all.

While waiting for the dragoon guards who went to get Cao Jun's armor, Deng Zhan was not idle, his eyes roamed around the city wall of Xuzhou, observing the movements of Cao Jun.

More and more Cao troops ran onto the city wall, and the Cao army on the head of the city had taken over the defense of the Xuzhou army, and Xuzhou City completely fell into the hands of the Cao army!
