The "booming" thunder pierced the sky and resounded through the sky, intimidating the creatures living on this land, adding a bit of mystery and majesty to this dark night that could not see the five fingers, making the night more and more unpredictable and terrifying.

"Click———!

A shining and dazzling lightning pierced the sky, shuttled vertically and horizontally, fell from the sky like a shocking sweep, fell on the top of the high mountain and suddenly burst into a cluster of heavenly fire, and a moment of light swept through the endless darkness, as if declaring that the power of heaven is irreversible, and the power of the universe is great.

The "whinning" wind roared through the earth, like the roar of a beast, wreaking the people, sweeping through the wilderness, penetrating the city walls, burrowing into the cracks of windows and doors, pervasive, ubiquitous, as if it was a contest with thunder and lightning, wanton display, singing and dancing.

Xiapi City, outside the North Gate.

"Zang Ba hasn't arrived?"

Chen Gong, who was stationed in front of the horse formation, groaned and said in disappointment: "It seems that he is finally timid, he is afraid of Lu Bu like a tiger, and he does not dare to risk causing trouble with us." In this case, we don't have to wait any longer, without him Zang Xuangao's troops to help fight, we will still take this city. At this moment, we are ready to send arrows, there is no way back, after the siege begins, the generals must besiege and besiege the city as planned. In this battle, I don't want to capture Xiapi City in one fell swoop, as long as I can trap Lu Bu in the city for five days, it will be a great achievement! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused, then drew his sword, and raised his voice to order: "All the soldiers listen to the order, kill ———! ”

With a loud "boom", thousands of war horses galloped like arrows from the string, waving their soldiers and heading straight for the north city gate. Immediately afterward, hundreds of torches illuminated the wilderness. Tens of thousands of infantry troops galloped wildly, with swarthy shields rushing to the front, followed by spearmen and halberds. Then there were ladders, storming trucks and catapults, and more than a dozen high platform railings.

At the same time, thousands of soldiers also gathered outside the south, west and east gates of Xiapi, attacking at the same time at this moment. Attack the four gates at the same time, leaving no gaps, no dead ends, and attacking the city at the same time. Give a strong deterrent to the defenders in the city, forcing them to be attacked on all sides, and dare not break out of the city lightly.

It's obvious. The north gate is the main direction of attack. No less than 40,000 cavalry gathered here, commanded by Chen Gong himself, trying to capture the north gate in one fell swoop, and then go straight to the state pastor's mansion. Besides. Hou Cheng's 10,000-foot cavalry attacked the West Gate. Han Xian, Yang Feng and Chen Lan led a 6,000-foot army to besiege the east gate, and Zhang Xun and Lei Bo led more than 15,000 cavalry that quietly infiltrated Xuzhou to attack the south gate. The four routes of troops and horses attacked at the same time, mainly attacking the north gate, and the other three gates were mainly besieged, adopting sneak attack and harassment tactics to disperse the defenders' forces, so that they could be disorganized and difficult to take care of.

"Da ——— Bang!"

As the charging horsemen approached the city gates. I only heard a sudden shouting and killing sound behind the north city gate, and it was accompanied by a loud "bang" sound from time to time. The closed gates of the city opened. Immediately he galloped out of the city on a fast horse, and cut the rope of the drawbridge with a knife in his hand; And on the city tower behind him, thousands of black-clothed armor soldiers were fighting fiercely with the soldiers defending the city, fighting for the right to control the gate of the northern city. Obviously, the inner part of the city should be responsible for raiding the city gates, and they have already succeeded in doing so.

As the drawbridge slammed to the ground, the thousands of warriors who rushed to the edge of the moat couldn't help but boost their morale, and the originally silent raid instantly turned into a loud shout and rushed to the drawbridge, rushing towards the city gate like a lightning speed.

"Take the city gates, kill!"

"All the soldiers speed up, follow me into the city, rush!"

Seeing the city gate wide open and the drawbridge falling, the infantry who were originally going to set up the ladder instantly gave up the strong attack, and under the shouting of Chen Gong's sword, thousands of armor soldiers rushed wildly, passing through the suspension bridge at a speed visible to the naked eye, shouting and roaring and swarming up, and rushed into the north gate after the war horse.

The defenders of the north gate did not expect that someone would attack the city gate on the night of lightning and thunder, and all the soldiers guarding the city were huddled in the city tower and gatehouse, dozing off with their weapons, without any precautions in advance. It was precisely because of this laxity and negligence that more than 1,000 black-clothed armor soldiers who had been ambushed in the city were able to sneak attack, suddenly attacked, opened the city gate in one fell swoop and cut the rope of the drawbridge, so that the army of Chen Gong, who was attacking the city late at night, attacked the north gate without much effort.

At this moment, the north gate was opened, and the defenders of the city gate fought back, but it was still too late, and they could not resist the rebel soldiers who rushed into the city gate like a tide. As the first wave of more than 3,000 cavalry rushed into the city, the north gate was declared lost, and more than 10,000 rebels poured into the city in the blink of an eye.

Capture the north gate so smoothly, this is what Chen Gong never expected before, because he was overjoyed at the moment, personally led the army to rush and kill, and captured the north gate tower in one go. The reason why he captured the city tower instead of directly attacking the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion was because Chen Gong knew very well the strength of the wolf cavalry army that Gongwei Prefecture Pastoral Mansion was.

For the sake of safety, he would rather give up the opportunity to attack the state pastor at the first time than take a hasty risk with his troops and horses. Therefore, he retreated to the next best thing, and immediately made a decision, choosing to completely capture the north gate, taking the first step to gain a firm foothold, and then steadily and steadily, pressing step by step, until he captured Xiapi City.

??????“ Bang bang bang! Boom ——— kill! ”

The earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the city, already overshadowing the thunder rumbling in the night sky, the smoke and fire that reached into the sky, and the deafening shouts of killing, which caused Lu Bu to wake up suddenly in his sleep, and at the same time he was also awakened by his subordinates and many wealthy families in the city.

After Lu Bu, who was awakened by force, opened his eyes, he instantly turned over and got out of bed, hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the door and rushed out. When he walked into the hall while running and dressing, there were already more than 20 generals and more than a dozen panicked civil officials and subordinates gathered in the hall, including Wei Xu, Chen Qi, Chen Deng, and his son, who were in charge of the wolf cavalry.

"Are you all here?" Lu Bu, who was full of anger, didn't pay attention to it at all, bowed down, and scolded angrily: "Who can tell me, what happened in the city? The city was on fire, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, where did it come from? As he spoke, his own soldiers brought his armor and put it on him.

Unexpectedly, after putting on the battle armor, Lu Bu did not sit down, but stretched out his right hand, and the pro-soldiers were stunned when they saw this, and immediately reacted quickly, and hurriedly ran to the back of the commander-in-chief, and together with another pro-soldier, they brought Fang Tian's halberd.

"Bang!" But seeing Lu Bu stretching out his hand to hold Fang Tian's halberd, he stomped heavily on the ground, shaking the solid floor and buzzing, and also frightened the people in the hall into fear, holding their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, silent like a cicada.

At this moment, Wei Xu stepped out of the ranks with courage and said respectfully: "My lord, the rebels are attacking the city from all sides. The sentry cavalry has just come to report that the north gate has been broken by the rebels, and at this moment the rebels have entered the city, and they are about to attack the governor's mansion! ”

"Rebels?" Lu Bu's voice changed when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Who dares to betray me?" Where did the rebels come from? ”

Before the words fell, this time there was no need for Wei to continue to report, the old and strong Chen Qi came out of the crowd, and said as he walked: "My lord, the rebels attacking the city right now are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by the military advisor Chen Gong. According to the eyeliner report, there are not a few generals who followed Chen Gong to rebel this time, Hou Cheng, Han Xianam, Yang Feng, Cao Gui, Mi Fang and other generals are all rebellious, and the rebels who are now besieging the city are from their subordinates. According to rough estimates, the rebels had no less than 50,000 men and horses, and they were able to attack the city on all sides, trying to break through the city in one fell swoop and capture and kill us. Obviously, Chen Jue knew a lot about the rebels who captured the north gate and the soldiers and horses who were attacking the city outside the city, maybe he had already understood the conspiracy of Chen Gong and others, but he didn't report it secretly, and he didn't tell it until this moment.

Sure enough, Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was pressed by the huge force on his arm and sank, forcing it through the floor and eight inches deep into the ground.

"Hmph, Chen Gong, it's really him!" Lu Bu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and scolded angrily: "This thief has a close relationship with Li Thief, and he is also an in-law, so he has long suspected that he has two ambitions and bad intentions, but he has been unable to bear to kill him when he has been fighting with him for many years. Unexpectedly, this thief still turned back after all, and even colluded with Hou Cheng, Han Xian and other rebels to gather tens of thousands of people to besiege my Xia Pi Zhi Office! This time, Ben Hou must kill him with his own hands, if he is not broken into thousands of pieces, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart! ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was furious, Chen Deng, the son of Chen Qi, echoed and said: "The Lord has always been merciful, and he has treated Chen Gong with courtesy and courtesy. Unexpectedly, Chen Gong was ungrateful and wolf-hearted, but thought that the lord did not listen to his words and did not obey him, and he was resentful, so he had today's rebellion. Therefore, it was a great pleasure for the lord to kill Chen Gong, but the rebels now numbered as many as tens of thousands, and in order to break through the north gate, they could attack the state capital in an instant.

However, the state capital did not use many soldiers, except for the more than 10,000 wolf cavalry troops under the command of the lord, there were only 20,000 defenders. If the city has not yet been breached, with the solidity of Xiapi City and more than 30,000 cavalry, the state capital will naturally be safe. It's a pity that the moment??????? Forgive me for being bold and blunt, once the north gate is broken, the state capital will not be protected. In addition, the Cao clan (Cao Bao) and the Mi family in the city secretly colluded with the Chen Palace, and it was they who sent out the family and the courtyard to attack the north gate tonight, so that the rebels were able to attack the city in one fell swoop. Therefore, for today's plan, it is better for the lord to lead his troops to break through the city as soon as possible, so as not to be trapped in the city and inevitably escape the villain's poisonous hands! After finishing speaking, Chen Deng bowed respectfully to the end, and then bowed down and pushed between the crowds, and said no more.

Listening to Chen Deng's words, Lu Bu's eyelids jumped, and his angry eyes contracted violently, but he did not show weakness at all, and shouted angrily: "Just a rebel in Chen Palace, why is Ben Hou afraid?" ”

After a pause, Lu Bu strode to the bottom of the hall and said sharply: "Come on, bring Benhou's red rabbit horse, the wolf cavalry will open the way first, and you will follow me to the east gate to kill the rebels!" ”

"No!" When all the civil and military officials in the hall heard this, they immediately took orders in unison, and walked out of the main hall quickly after Lu Bu. The north gate was lost, but Lu Bu led the army to help the east gate, as if they were in the opposite direction, so everyone understood the meaning of Lu Bu's words and happily followed.
