Chapter 1440 Raiding Dingling was gained and lost

Lu Bu led the army out of Ruyang, rushed forward, and raided Shangcai on the second day, Shangcai defenders were not much, and now there are only some vigilant troops left, where to block such fierce generals as Lu Bu, the defenders of the city did not even block a round, and Lu Bu boarded the city.

The next night, Xiping was attacked by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu, who came at night, made a little trick and took Xiping in one fell swoop, and the sword blade went straight to the mausoleum, where the Cao army retreated on the northern line and decided the important node of Yingchuan's safety!

Lu Bu, is this the rhythm of Cao Cao's life!

The location of Dingling is so important, Cao Cao naturally will not ignore it, although Cao Cao also knows the content of Fang Zhiwen's map, but Cao Cao still thinks about how Fang Zhiwen can do it and what price to pay if he wants to achieve that divided state.

Dingling is garrisoned by Yingchuan Taishou Li, there are 50,000 elite soldiers, and a considerable number of militia, Dingling itself is a strategic point, and the defense facilities will definitely not be bad, so even if he receives the news that Lu Bu attacked Xiping, Li Jin will not be too nervous, even if he can't fight anymore, it is impossible to use 20,000 cavalry to quickly break through the fortified city garrisoned by nearly 100,000 people!

Historically, Li Jin did once repel Lu Bu, and Li Jin's personality is very serious, no matter how famous Lu Bu is, what Li Jin sees is only the truth, and Li Jin will not care about other fame or anything, and he has never had the slightest fear of Lu Bu who is feared by everyone on the battlefield.

Lü Bu arrived the next day as scheduled, and as soon as Lü Bu arrived, he rested a little and launched an attack on Wuyang, the acropolis southwest of Dingling.

Dingling consists of the main city, Wuyang in the southwest and Kunyang in the northwest as two acropolises, the three cities are each other's horns, Lü Bu attacks any target, may be attacked from both sides, logistics and materials are also supported by friendly forces behind him.

Lu Bu didn't seem to understand what it meant to be horns with each other. Extremely arrogant, he placed the direction of the attack on the northeast side of Wuyang, which was the direction between Wuyang and Dingling, and it seemed that Lu Bu wanted to lure Li in and out to support, and then crush the supporting troops.

However, Li Jin did not come out to support as Lu Bu expected. Instead, Lu Bu was allowed to attack Wuyang, and Lu Bu's troops attacked strongly, but they did not attack the city in the morning, but only used flying shots to continuously attack and kill the defenders in the city, looking for a gap for the defenders, and the defenders in the city were also quite tenacious. He is also very experienced, and there is nothing he can do about Lu Bu's accurate shooting and high lethality, and he will not make any other mistakes.

By noon, Lu Bu's troops had already rotated once, and seeing that Li Jin refused to come out, Lu Bu was after lunch. Begin to storm Wuyang.

The rumbling war horses were divided into several teams, and through the giant crossbow shots on the city and the boulders thrown high, they continued to shoot arrows towards the city, and the dense arrows pressed the heads of the defenders on the city head to raise their heads, and Lu Bu immediately shouted with a halberd when he saw this:

"Guards, Attack 1

"Skill salvo 1

'Boom! ~Rumble! ~’

The intense flash of light suddenly turned the city into a white expanse, and some of the sight seemed to be blurred. A lot of strange lights and shadows flickered, and then there was a deafening sound, and all sorts of noises and screams were sandwiched in.

When everyone's vision slowly recovered, they suddenly found that a lot of ladders had been set up on the city, and the silver-armored Changge, the sturdy God of War had already rushed up half of the ladders!

Not good, the enemy army has landed in the city and stormed it!

The defenders of the city saw that Lu Bu had changed his attack method, and the city wall was emptied by Lu Bu's powerful skills for a short time, and there were serious holes in the defense. In a hurry, he snatched the shield from the guards around him, drew his sword and rushed towards the place where Lü Buden City was, no matter what, to buy time for the defenders. will be plugged by the loophole opened by Lu Bu, otherwise it will be bad!

"Formation, sword and shield formation

The moment Jiang Ling turned his head and shouted, a thin crossbow arrow pierced his throat, jamming the rest of his words in his throat! His figure seemed to be frozen, and he tried to find out who had suddenly cast the cold arrow, but the whole world began to spin, and then fell into darkness.

"Well done, Cicada 1

"Hmm."

"All the soldiers, the enemy will be dead, kill 1

"The enemy general is dead, kill! ~”

Lu Bu's long halberd was round, like a huge wheel of light, tearing and cutting off everything that dared to block, and then as if it was blown up, it was thrown out in all directions, and the unstoppable momentum made the defenders in the city unconsciously retreat, unconsciously crowded in a heap, and then blown up by Lu Bu's skill.

"Drink 1

Lu Bu burst out and spoke, and the halberd swept away a piece of enemy in front of him, and his eyes were suddenly empty, and there were no enemy troops behind, which was really strange!

"Husband, the enemy army has retreated from the city wall and is heading towards the city1

"Towards the inward, lean against the wall, draw out the shield, and beware of the enemy's heavy crossbows and artillery1

Lu Bu naturally issued an order in accordance with the siege regulations, and he also leaned towards the inside of the city wall, and sure enough, everyone was ready, only to feel that the sky was dark, and then crackling arrows and rubble fell, but the effect was basically nothing.

"Cicada, order the military division to lead the rear team forward, ready to break the goal1

"Husband, but"

"Hehe, I know, Li Jin will entangle us with street fighting, and then block our way from behind, right1

"Yes1

"He's only thinking of counteracting our cavalry advantage with street fighting, but I'm waiting for him to come out.1

"Husband has already thought about it?"

"Even if you send a message, you can see if Zhixian will respond immediately, he is not a person who obeys orders."

"Well, too, concubines, uh, the end will understand1

Lu Bu immediately rushed along the city wall to the city gate tower, forcibly seized control of the city gate, opened the city gate on the east side, and Cheng Gongying immediately led the cavalry into the city!

On Dingling City in the distance, Li Jin saw that Lu Bu's entire army had rushed into Wuyang, and immediately ordered the cavalry and convoys that had been prepared long ago to set off, these convoys were heavy-duty carriages, which were used to block the door, and the convoy behind was to ride heavy infantry, as long as Lu Bu was blocked in Wuyang City, Lu Bu's cavalry advantage was eliminated. Li Jin believed that he could drown Lu Bu with superior numbers!

"Open the gates and lower the drawbridge! Let's go, let's go! According to the plan, block the east gate of Wuyang! Fast 1

"Quick! Fast! The cavalry went first and charged into the city of Wuyang1

Li Jin is also a ruthless person. It was basically a dead end for him to let the cavalry charge inward, but the cavalry, which numbered only two thousand, could delay Lü Bu's time out of the city with his own sacrifice, and these cavalrymen all carried a bag of stabbing horse nails on their horses, and only spilling this thing on the road could cause Lü Bu huge trouble.

These factors all add up. It will buy a lot of time for the carriage to block the door, and when the time comes, the value of the sacrifice of these cavalrymen will be great!

It was only a few miles from Dingling to Wuyang, and it wouldn't take long for the cavalry to come, and seeing that Li Jin's cavalry was about to arrive at the city gate, Lu Bu was going to be bad.

Suddenly. There was a shout near the city gate, and a lot of people suddenly appeared in the city, raising the heavy crossbow in their hands together, after a round of heavy crossbow attack, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded in the city gate hole, and the cavalry with neat front arrows rushed out, and the first to lead the army was Lu Bu, the god of war with red horses and silver armor!

This cavalry is like a sword. At once, the cavalry that had been shot scattered was rushed away, and then rushed straight to the carriage behind, and when they got closer, the cavalry suddenly divided left and right, and sped wildly past both sides of the convoy.

"Shoot, free fire 1

The heavy infantry in the carriage gave the order to shoot while trying to jump off the carriage.

"Charge 1

However, the distance was too close, and the reaction time given to them was too short, and before they could stand firm and raise their heavy crossbows, Lu Bu's cavalry had already rushed into the convoy with the rain of arrows and the bombardment of skills. Scatter the heavy infantry who tried to form a formation, and scatter the cavalry into small groups to strangle back and forth, and the poor heavy infantry had no way to form a formation at all, but could only fight on their own, despite their heavy armor. But under the impact of the war horse and the sharp improved swords, they were still slashed and knocked down.

Li Jinxin, who was standing at the head of Dingling City, seemed to have fallen into the abyss, he couldn't imagine that Lu Bu would plan and ambush himself in turn, how did he see his plan? Could it be that someone leaked the plan, and he obviously didn't let the Inhumans participate in any plans.

But what's the use of thinking about it at this time! Li Jin looked at the heavy infantry who were being slaughtered by Lu Bu, and closed his eyes in pain, 50,000 elites, 10,000 in Kunyang, 10,000 in Wuyang, 30,000 in Dingling, 20,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 cavalry that attacked just now, almost all the backbones of Dingling!

The 20,000 heavy infantry were annihilated, and it would be difficult for Li Jin to hold Dingling, especially after seeing the strength of Lu Bu's strong attack, Li Jin also knew in his heart that he was afraid that he was going to lose!

Lu Bu is crazy! He only attacked with 10,000 cavalry, and the other 10,000 cavalry were still entangled with the recalcitrant defenders in Wuyang City, and Cheng Gongying's command ability was no worse than that of Lu Bu.

With only 10,000 cavalry, Lu Bu successfully ambushed Li Jin's heavy infantry at a small cost, taking advantage of the opportunity that it could not form a formation, and annihilated it in one fell swoop, and then Lu Bu turned around and killed in Wuyang City, the defenders in Wuyang City did not dare to retreat, and could only fight to the end, but in the face of the strong street fighting ability of the Youzhou army, the defenders who were already inferior in numbers and lacked command were quickly annihilated!

Twilight fell, Lü Bu's army rested for a while, began to attack Dingling, the night undoubtedly provided greater convenience to the attacker, Li Jin, who was already overstretched, insisted until the early hours of the morning, and was finally attacked by Lü Bu on the city, Li Jin had to retreat to Kunyang with the remnants of the army.

Lu Bu attacked Dingling, connected the two cities in one day, and completely cut off the passage from Yingchuan to Jingzhou, and the world shook!

Cao Cao was horrified when he heard the news, and immediately ordered Xu Chang Fuzhu, Yang Zhai Li Dian, and the stable and strong Cao Hong to recapture Dingling at any cost!

In the face of the crazy Cao army, Lu Bu was not sure that he could defend an unfamiliar city with 20,000 cavalry, and Fang Zhiwen's retreat order had already arrived!

The unwilling Lu Bu directly swept away the people and goods in the city and retreated towards Xiping in the south, while Fang Zhiwen and Xianbei immediately launched an attack on the empty Wenqiang and Xuchang.

This is the purpose of Fang Zhiwen's order for Lu Bu to attack Dingling. To be continued...
