Chapter 857: When it is night, he will enter the city

Cao's army, which had been fiercely attacking the city before, retreated like a tide with the sound of gold from the Chinese army.

The Qin army on the city wall forced the Cao army who had climbed to the top of the city to the battlements, and some Cao troops who reacted faster turned over and jumped over the battlements and climbed down the ladder.

More Cao troops who climbed the city wall fell one by one under the siege of the Qin army.

Covered with blood all over his body and face, Lu Bu held a halberd in his hand and stared at the Cao army camp outside the city, but there was a burst of uneasiness in his heart.

There was no oil, no rocks, not even arrows.

Once the Cao army continues to attack the city, it will be extremely difficult for the Qin army to hold the city!

"General!" Looking at the large array of Cao Jun outside the city, Yu Xuan walked quickly behind Lu Bu and said to him: "There is no oil and stones in the city, and the arrows of the crossbowmen have been used up......

"General Ben already knows!" Before Yu Poison's words were finished, Lu Bu frowned and said: "Our army's reinforcements have already arrived in Xiangling, and we only need to hold on for another three or five days, and if we want to come to the reinforcements, we will attack Cao's army from behind!" ”

"The last general thinks it......" Lu Bu also pinned his hopes on the reinforcements, showing a little hesitation in his poisonous expression, and finally said to him as if he had made up his mind: "The Cao army has made a posture of defending the reinforcements, if the last general's guess is good, the reinforcements are afraid that they will not attack the Cao army from behind!" ”

Turning his head to look at Yu Poison, Lu Bu's face was iron-blue.

On the top of the tomb, the battle flag of the Qin army has been fluttering for a long time, but when the Cao army attacked the city, the reinforcements showed no sign of going down the mountain, which really made Lu Bu feel very uneasy.

"General!" Seeing the uneasiness on Lu Bu's face, Yu Poison then said to him: "Shouchun sees that it is not guaranteed, if the general leads the army out of the city, the last general will defend the city to the death!" When the general and the reinforcements outside the city converge, it is not too late to come to the rescue again if there is a plan! ”

"General Yu's words are very relaxed!" Lu Bu shook his head, stared at Yu Poison and said, "General's mind, how can you not know?" Once the army is led out of the city, there are many fewer defenders in the city, how can the general defend Shouchun? Not to mention that after a certain person goes out of the city, he joins up with reinforcements outside the city, can he attack Cao's army from behind, even if our army has enough troops, I am afraid that it will not be too late to rescue the general! ”

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Yu Poison was stunned for a moment.

He always thought that Lu Bu was just a brave warrior on the battlefield and didn't have much strategy, but when Lu Bu said such a thing, he realized that Lu Bu was not as stupid as he imagined!

"Earlier, I also had the intention of leading the army out of the city first!" Yu Xuan didn't speak again, and Lu Bu then said to him: "After today's battle, a certain person has already made up his mind, no matter what, he must defend Shouchun to the death!" If the Cao army breaks through the city, the reinforcements have not yet attacked from behind, and a certain self will lead the army to break through! For now, if we can keep it for a few days, we will keep it for a few days! ”

Lu Bu said resolutely, and Yu Poison didn't dare to defend him, so he had to clench his fists and arch at him and said: "The general should be careful, and the last general will go to the city to inspect it!" ”

Nodding, Lu Bu didn't say anything more, after the poison left, he turned around again, held the battlements with both hands, and stared at the Cao army's large array.

In Shouchun City, Lu Bu and Yu Poison were already ready to defend the city, but outside the city, Cao Ren was full of spring breeze, and he did not intend to attack the city for a day without any success.

Looking at the mountains of dead bodies outside the city wall of Shouchun, Cao Ren held a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to a partial general on the side: "Our army has been attacking the city for days, and the casualties are not counted, and this Shouchun today must be in the hands of our army!" ”

"The Qin army is already at the end of its crossbow, if our army attacks again, it will definitely be able to take the city wall!" Cao Ren's words were full of confidence, and the generals on the side also hurriedly patted a sycophant!

Shaking his head, Cao Ren still maintained a faint smile on his face, and said to the partial general: "At the end of the Qin army's strong crossbow, if our army attacks again, won't it be necessary to fill in the lives of many soldiers?" ”

Cao Ren's words revealed that he didn't want to attack Shouchun, but the general was stunned for a moment, looking at him and not daring to ask more.

Although he didn't even glance at the general beside him, Cao Ren knew that the general's heart must be full of doubts at this time.

He didn't give much explanation to the general, but just said to the general: "Pass the order, the whole army will sharpen the blades, and at night, I will wait to enter the city!" ”

"No!" I don't know why Cao Ren has such a strong confidence that he can enter Shouchun at night, but the general still responded with a fist and conveyed the order to the whole army.

After a whole day of fighting, Cao's army suffered great casualties.

Many of the wounded soldiers who had been withdrawn from the battlefield let out a moan of pain in the barracks.

When the Cao army retreated, it did not bring back many dying tops, and outside Shouchun City, there were still some wounded soldiers of the Cao army who were seriously injured and could not move.

Cao Jun, who had been discarded by Tong Ze, groaned in pain on the ground full of corpses.

Many of them even hoped that the Qin army on the city wall would shoot arrows at them and end their suffering.

It's a pity that the Qin army has run out of arrows, and even if there are a few strong crossbowmen who still have some arrows left, it is impossible to waste them on the seriously injured Cao army, who is completely out of threat.

Cao Jun, who was seriously injured, was lying in the pile of corpses outside the city, and some of the most severely injured people swallowed their breath after groaning for a long time.

There were also Cao Jun, who was still wailing and moaning, waiting for death to end their suffering, although they were severe.

Cao's army retreated and did not attack the city walls again.

After a bloody battle with Cao's army, the soldiers of the Qin army on the city wall sat behind the battlements one by one.

There was no expression on each of their faces.

Lu Bu had mobilized earlier, but under the fierce attack of Cao's army, the soldiers had already seen the end of the city's destruction.

Once Shouchun City is breached by Cao's army, I am afraid that among a hundred of them, they will not be able to find one or two who can fight out of the city alive.

There was a deathly silence on the walls.

No one spoke, not even whispered.

Most of them closed their eyes, taking advantage of the gap between battles, trying to refresh their spirits.

As the soldiers of Great Qin, they all knew very well that if they let the Cao army move forward, Luoyang City would be exposed to the iron hooves of the Cao army.

Many of the soldiers' relatives are in Luoyang, and this battle, in their hearts, has already changed from returning to Luoyang alive to reunite with their families, to stopping the advance of Cao's army, and fighting for their relatives in Luoyang!

By the city wall, a bloodstained soldier of the Qin army stood straight.

One of his hands was on the city wall, and his eyes stared at Cao Jun outside the city.

It's not that he doesn't want to hold the battlements with two hands, but in the battle, his other arm has been cut off by Cao Junqigen.

Where his arm was broken, Tong Ze had already helped him bandage it properly.

The linen cloth wrapped around the wound was soaked with black and red blood.

Looking at the Cao Jun barracks outside the city, Qin Jun, who had only one arm left, clenched the palm of the hand holding the Pu Dao, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently a few times.

"Brother, let's sleep!" Beside him, another soldier of the Qin army was sitting against the battlements, and when he saw him looking out of the city, he leaned on the Qin army behind the battlements and said, "Cultivate enough spirits to fight with the enemy!" I'm waiting to leave Shouchun alive, I'm afraid there is not much possibility! ”

The one-armed Qin Jun did not speak, he still stared at the Cao Jun's military camp outside the city, without the slightest expression on his face.

"Except for His Highness, I'm afraid that in this battle, Shouchun will be lost!" Seeing that he did not speak, the soldier sitting next to him muttered another sentence in a low voice.

Speaking of Shouchun being lost, the soldier's tone was very indifferent, as if Shouchun had been broken and had nothing to do with him.

"Shouchun is not lost, it's not something I should think about!" The one-armed Qin Jun finally spoke, but his voice was cold as if it could condense ice slag: "There is only one thing I can think of, that is, Cao Jun will attack the city again quickly, and I will kill a few more!" ”

Looking up at the one-armed Qin Jun, Qin Jun, who was sitting on the ground, did not say anything more.

Although the one-armed Qin Jun said that he wanted to kill a few more Cao Jun, anyone could hear that he had already made up his mind to die!

With this determination, once the two sides start a war, when the battle is over, I am afraid that this person will never be seen again!

There is no pathos on the tranquil walls.

All the Qin troops had already accepted the fate of the city being destroyed, and all they were waiting for was the Cao army to launch an attack on Shouchun, and they defended the doomed city with their lives.

On the tower of the city gate, Lu Bu and Yu Poison stood side by side.

Both of them looked at Cao Jun's barracks outside the city.

The setting sun had set in the western sky, and the remnants of the glow were reflected in a golden orange light.

The corpses of the Cao army lying quietly all over the city outside the city, and occasionally there will be one or two broken Cao army battle flags, which are planted obliquely on the ground, fluttering in the wind of hunting.

"There is no movement of reinforcements!" Turning his head to look in the direction of the Qin army's battle flag, Yu Xuan whispered to Lu Bu: "If the general leaves at night, he can still save the lives of most of the soldiers!" ”

"Leave at night...... Lu Bu shook his head, turned his head to look at Yu Poison and said: "Cao Ren is also a wise general, our army is on the verge of despair at the moment, he withdrew his soldiers and horses, nothing more than waiting for our army to leave at night!" If you don't guess wrong, as long as our army goes out of the city, I'm afraid that if we don't go far, we will be ambushed by Cao's army! ”

Before entering the city, he was ambushed by the Cao army three times in a row, although the first and last blows to the Qin army were not very big, but looking back, Lu Bu still felt a cold sweat on his back.

Among the generals of the Qin army, LΓΌ Bu was recognized as a brave general.

Fighting alone, even Zhao Yun is not his opponent.

But he never thought that the invincible Qin army, defeated for the first time, would be in his hands.

escaped from Shouchun at night, Mo said that there was still the possibility of being ambushed by the Cao army, even if the Cao army did not arrange it at all, Lu Bu categorically refused to withdraw so wolfly!
