Chapter 68: Breakout

Xun Yu's image is a little embarrassed, after all, he is a literati, after learning that someone broke into the city, he didn't even have time to put on clothes, he only wore a pajama and ran out with a sword, although he didn't encounter an attack, but this all the way running, he was already out of breath, after all, he was not young, and he had been sitting in the rear for a long time, and he rarely ran around, so his physical strength naturally couldn't keep up.

Originally, he was expecting the bus commander to be able to block Lu Bu from Sima Gate, but who knew that he would be broken by Lu Bu just by taking a face.

Lu Bu has now broken into the palace, the huge palace, extending in all directions, is full of chaotic palace maids and eunuchs, and he grabbed two inquiries and failed to ask why.

After learning that Lu Bu still left some men and horses at the east gate, Xun Yu immediately sent people to recapture the east gate, even if he couldn't find Lu Bu for a while, he couldn't give Lu Bu the opportunity to kidnap the Son of Heaven out of the city.

At this moment, Lu Bu had already taken Liu Xie out of the palace, but he did not go to the east gate to meet Hao Zhao, but went straight to the west gate.

Although Xuchang is not his territory, he has ghost guards by his side, and Xun Yu's arrangement, Lu Bu can easily find out, and then make targeted deployments.

The soldiers and horses under his command first fought with Cao Ren, and they were separated a lot in the chaotic army before, and they suffered a lot of losses in the battle with the Praetorian Guards, more than 2,000 people, and now, there are less than 800 people who are still with Lu Bu.

After all, it is Cao Cao's base camp, and if he collides with Cao Jun again at this moment, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get out of Xuchang City.

The defenders of the West Gate have already set up a lot of barricades and horses near the city gate, and Lu Bu's troops are all cavalry, and if they want to break through, they must pay a heavy price, which Lu Bu can't afford now.

"Stop!" Without any hesitation, when approaching the city wall, Lu Bu slowly stopped the momentum, and now most of the troops in the city are concentrated at the east gate to attack Hao Zhao's department, and on the west gate, there are only more than 300 people to garrison, which is good news for Lu Bu.

"Dismount and attack the city!" Gritting their teeth, they can't care about losses at the moment, only by breaking through the city gate as quickly as possible, they will have a chance to escape, otherwise they will only be surrounded by enemy troops.

Without saying a word, the eight hundred iron horsemen dismounted, each picked up his weapon, and charged at the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows!" The guard of the castle tower looked cold and shouted.

For a while, rows of feathered arrows fell towards the bottom of the city, and there was a row of Cao Jun under the city gate who was responsible for blocking Lu Bu's soldiers from going to the city.

Lu Bu did not dismount to participate in the battle, sitting on the red rabbit horse, a pair of eyes looked coldly at the direction of the city tower, the dark night gave the best cover for both sides, and it also made it difficult for Lu Bu to identify where the opponent's guard was at the first time.

The guard gave an order, but it was for Lu Bu to argue where the other party was, and when he heard the argument, the bowstring that had already been drawn was aimed at the direction where the guard was and shot an arrow in an instant.

The guard didn't have time to give a second order, and suddenly saw a cold star break through the sky, and it quickly became clear in his sight.

The guard wanted to be one-armed, but his body couldn't keep up with the conscious reaction, and the cold arrows shot through his throat, and the guard's eyes burst out, and he let out a roar unwillingly, but his body fell down from the castle tower.

The Cao army at the head of the city began to be chaotic, and the archers continued to shoot, but they were no longer as neat as before, and it was difficult to form a suppression, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses took the opportunity to kill and kill with the Cao army guarding the city.

After all, it is not really a siege, although there are roadblocks set up under the city, but the free ladder can go directly to the city, Lu Bu keeps releasing arrows under the city, or archers, or team leaders, generals and other grassroots generals die one by one under Lu Bu's arrows, the generals of the defenders of the West City were shot by Lu Bu one after another, and the dragons have no leader, where are these opponents under Lu Bu's battle-hardened soldiers, who were quickly killed by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and began to flee on both sides.

"Sound the arrow and inform Hao Zhao to retreat in the predetermined direction!" The head of the city has been occupied, and some soldiers went to pull the winch to lower the drawbridge, and some soldiers began to open the city gate, Lu Bu turned his head and shouted to the guards guarding Liu Xie beside him.

There's no need to hold on there.

"Whoa!" The guard agreed, took a special arrow cluster from his back, set it off, and shot an arrow into the air.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the city gate had been opened, Lu Bu waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to escort Liu Xie out of the city first, and he followed behind the rear hall.

……

At the east gate, Hao Zhao cut off the head of a Cao army general with a frantic knife, gasped violently, and the oncoming sound of breaking the air made his face change, and he hurriedly rolled on the spot and rolled into the city gate hole, avoiding the cover of the rain of arrows.

"General, we can't hold it!" The remaining soldiers gritted their teeth.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Hao Zhao pulled out the arrow cluster on his shoulder with a hideous face, and roared, the more than 100 people left by Lu Bu to him are now less than twenty, and they are compressed by Cao Jun in the city gate cave at this moment, and an unspeakable sense of despair lingers in his heart, Hao Zhao knows that Cao Jun only needs to charge again, and it is impossible for these dozen or so people to hold it anymore.

"Crunch~"

The drawbridge behind him is slowly rising, and the head of the city has been occupied by Cao Jun, although he wants to kill back to regain control of the winch, but at present, all parts of the city have been blocked by Cao Jun, and there is only one way to die.

"Look, general, it's the signal of the lord!" A soldier suddenly pointed to the night sky in front of him and said in surprise.

When Hao Zhao heard this, he subconsciously looked up, but saw a rocket in the air like a meteor.

There was a touch of joy on his face, this was the retreat signal that Lu Bu had set before the siege, which meant that Lu Bu had escaped.

"Brothers, the lord has broken through and retreated quickly, don't fall in love with the war!" In a desperate situation, Hao Zhaowolf snorted, ignored Cao Jun, turned around and rushed out of the city.

The drawbridge has been pulled up quite a bit, just because when Lu Bu entered the city before, he cut an iron cable, and it rose very slowly, enough for everyone to rush out.

Hao Zhao took the lead, stepped out at the end of the suspension bridge, his body rose into the air, fell to the ground across a distance of a long distance, and rolled on the spot.

Others did the same, some jumped over, others fell into the icy moat.

Hao Zhao didn't care about saving people, the Cao army in the city had already begun to shoot arrows in this direction, and Hao Zhao took the remaining soldiers and crawled into the distance.

"Shang Shuling, then Lu Bu broke through the West Gate and walked away from the West Gate!" Just as Xun Yu was wondering why these Xuzhou troops, who had fought to the death before, suddenly withdrew, a Cao army suddenly rushed to Xun Yu in a panic and said hoarsely.

Xun Yu's body trembled, and he suddenly looked in the direction where Hao Zhao and the others had fled, and said with a cold face: "Chase!" ”

After these people leave the city, they will inevitably join Lu Bu, and as long as they follow them, they may be able to find Lu Bu.

"Whoa!" When several Cao army generals heard this, they hurriedly shouted, and the suspension bridge that had not been completely put away was put down again, and a group of Cao troops surged out of the city, but the night was vast, and they couldn't see anything from ten zhang, how could they still find Hao Zhao and others......
