Zhao Yun also sighed in his heart, how did the lord know about Lu Bu, how strong such a powerful person is, unless he fights face-to-face like himself, he will feel guilty. In the eyes of outsiders, there is almost no difference in strength between Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and the lord is not proficient in martial arts, but how did the lord know that Lu Bu is superior?

The two of them had their own thoughts, but the movements in their hands did not relax at all.

Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd opened and closed, and Zhao Yun's gentian bright silver spear was agile and elegant, and both sides dealt with it very carefully, and at the same time tried to use their own killing moves. Between you and me, the two sides gradually fought a real fire, and the soldiers watching the battle on both sides were stunned.

Ten rounds, twenty rounds, thirty rounds...... This time, no one lined up behind to replace, and it was not Zhao Yun or Lu Bu who was panting, but the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's crotch.

Previously, Lu Bu faced five or six consecutive challenges alone, although Lu Bu was also very serious, but basically did not cause too much oppression to Lu Bu.

But a few of them had wonderful moves, and a few of them wrestled with Lu Bu many times, which naturally made the red rabbit horse bitter. Everyone's war horses were ??????????????? before It's very ordinary, so in the thirtieth round, although he can still fight, but the war horse is about to be unbearable, he consciously pushes it down and gives it to others, so that the red rabbit horse also gets a moment of respite.

But after changing Zhao Yun, it was already close to two hundred moves, and Lu Bu's physical strength also declined, and Zhao Yun was known for his exquisite marksmanship, so Lu Bu naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, the physical consumption was greater, and the burden on the red rabbit horse under his crotch was also greater. Zhao Yun had been watching the fight from the sidelines, and now that he saw Chitu Ma like this, he knew he had to hold on for a few more rounds to close the gap between the two sides. The jade lion of the night obviously also saw the red rabbit horse on the opposite side was extraordinary, and the BMW was psychic, and he knew that the master's mind was also very hard.

At the same time, in addition to Gao Shun, the generals under Lü Bu had to go out of the city to intercept the killing of Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others against the ordinary Bingzhou cavalry. Song Xian, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and others intercepted Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others respectively, and the efforts of the Bingzhou cavalry barely maintained a balance with the enemy at the city gate. It's just that this balance is completely different from the original intention of Lu Bu's army to take the initiative to go out of the city to intercept before, and according to the tactical arrangement, Huang Zhong and others consciously advanced step by step, pushing the Lu Bu army out of the city to the city wall.

Just when the two sides were stalemate in many places, the infantry phalanxes on both flanks actually began to beat drums and advance, and Wei Yan and Wei Zheng's avenues were also moving forward. Prepare to capture the walls from both flanks.

After a long time of preparation, the catapult finally began to send stones, aimed at the city gate tower, considering the distance, the stones fired were not as big as the original attack on the Yuanyuan Pass, and the damage caused was very limited, but only two rounds, the sound of gold sounded on the city wall.

Many generals, including Lu Bu, looked back at the city tower, and Lu Bu immediately understood that Gao Shun was inferior to him in terms of martial arts, but to say that Gao Shun was not bad at commanding troops and judging the situation, and now his own side was obviously at a disadvantage, his plan to go out of the city to kill the enemy was a failure, and if the stalemate continued, it could only be a war of attrition, and his soldiers were less than one-third of Wei Xuan's, and they could not afford to consume. So he no longer fell in love with the battle, and waved Fang Tian's halberd with both hands to push Zhao Yun away, and the red rabbit horse quickly took two steps back, and then quickly turned the horse's head and went straight to the city gate.

】

Of course, Zhao Yun was unwilling to let Lu Bu go, and then when he chased a few steps, countless Lu Bu's own soldiers blocked the way forward, and the archers on the city wall also began to release cold arrows outside the city to suppress the enemy's pursuit.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to abandon Lu Bu and slash and kill the Bingzhou cavalry in front of him.

With the retreat of Lü Bu, Zhang Liao and others also began a full-scale counteroffensive, and the soldiers of the state were constantly rushed to the city.

When Lu Bu came to the city tower, Gao Shun hurriedly greeted him and pointed to the infantry of the Weixuan Army who were gradually approaching the city wall on both wings and said: "General, now that all the cavalry of our army is contained, if the infantry on both wings attack the north and south city gates, the infantry in the city may be difficult to divide their troops to deal with, so Shun is the master of Mingjin." ”

Lu Bu followed Gao Shun's finger direction to look at the infantry phalanx moving on both sides, took a breath and said, "Did you send someone to urge Xu Rong?" ”

Lü Bu originally only had more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry in the city, just in case, Lü Bu sent someone to inform Xu Rong at the beginning, hoping that Xu Rong would send cavalry to participate in the battle as soon as possible. It's just that he didn't expect that he would be forced back by Wei Xuan so soon, and he didn't think that Niu Fu was wronged that day. The Monkey clan has four gates, but there is only one exit from the Yuyuan Pass, and once the cavalry cannot break through the pass, they can only be beaten by the gate.

Now he is facing the same situation,??????????????? The plan for a surprise attack of the cavalry out of the city had completely failed. Wei Xuan was obviously prepared, not only successfully blocked the two generals he sent in a row, but even went out in person without any results, which was a big blow to morale.

Outside the city, Zhang Liao was leading people to set up a formation, and while chasing deserters, he arranged a crane wing array at the gate of the city, which was preparing to stage the scene of breaking Niu Fu that day.

Gao Shun nodded: "After the general left the city, Shun sent someone to urge, but General Niu should not send someone to go, and it is not good to see that Wei Zhongdao is not good." ”

Lu Buxin said that it was not only because the comers were not good, but standing on the city wall, you could see three battalions of infantry of at least 15,000 people, plus cavalry similar to his own. Now that the cavalry is offset by the other side, if they do not collect their troops and return to the city, it means that the 2,000 infantry will have to face Wei Xuan's 15,000 or more men attacking the city.

During this time, the catapults outside the city had been assembled, and there were as many as sixteen catapults as high as the monkey's city wall.

The two discussed here, and Song Xian, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and others also came back disgraced. Among them, Song Chaoxian was also injured, Lu Bu looked at his generals and suddenly felt a headache, how did Wei Xuan gather so many fierce generals in such a short time? There is also cavalry, with Zhang Liao under the command, and the combat effectiveness will not be too bad.

Hao Meng glanced at Lu Bu with a look of shame, and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty: "General, the little incompetence has caused the situation to get out of control. ”

Lu Bu waved his hand, Hao Meng was indeed incompetent, but he had fought with Zhang Fei, the black guy had fought for so long, in fact, the physical consumption was greater than he might be, but he could barely fight with himself for thirty rounds, Hao Meng met him, not as good as in martial arts, inferior in momentum, and not as advantageous as the war horse, he was already lucky not to be injured, didn't he see that Song Xian was even worse?

Cao Xing saw that Lu Bu had never been angry, so he boldly probed: "General, isn't there any intelligence that the four infantry captains under Wei Xuan are Huang Zhong, Wei Zheng, Wei Yan and Tai Shici, it seems that only Huang Zhong fought in the previous battle, and the other three must be on both wings to supervise the siege." And there is also one cavalry captain, Du Peng, who did not fight, Wei Xuan's brother Wei Tong did not see the flag, and the uncle of Zhao Yun and Wei Tong, the Hebei spear king, Han * Meng, also did not go out of battle......"

Lu Bu frowned, turned his face and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Cao Xuan lowered his head and said: "The infantry of the Chinese army in the Weixuan headquarters has not moved, and it is very likely that they will attack the east gate. So many horsemen are not out of battle, I am afraid that they will go to the direction of Yanshi to intercept Xu Rong. Although these people are not our opponents, they are enough to deal with Xu Rong! ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and asked, "Zixiu, what do you think?" ”

Gao Shun replied worriedly: "Shun is thinking about how Niu Fu was attacked by Wei Xuan in one day that day, and most of his own side was killed and wounded. In addition to the loss of 1,000 cavalry in the pre-battle ambush, there were at least 4,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. Thinking that the four thousand cavalry came out of the pass to block Wei Xuan, but they didn't block it, it can be understood from today's battle situation, because Wei Xuan's men had too many generals, Niu Fu was captured, four captains were killed, two injured and one was captured, and the destruction of the catapult led to the discouragement of the army. Now that our cavalry is forced into the city, although it can still go out through several other gates, the morale is frustrated, and the head-on battle is not dominant, there is no way to stop Wei Xuan's three battalions of infantry from attacking the city. With 15,000 men, plus sharp catapults, our army now has less than 5,000 infantry and cavalry, and it is very difficult to defend the city.

Wei Xuansu??????????????? When you come to know the soldiers, you must also guess that we will ask Yanshi for help, and it is hard to say about the ambush halfway, but we will definitely find a way to intercept Xu Rong's cavalry. Therefore, unless Niu Fu of Yique Pass and the reinforcements of our army Tiger Prison Pass arrive in time, there will be a lot of pressure to defend the city. ”

Lu Bu was also angry in his heart, he wanted to kill, but he sent two generals in a row without taking advantage of the slightest, and he personally went out to Ma Dunei to help Wei Xuan's cavalry.

While everyone was talking, sure enough, the Wei Xuan army outside the city attacked the city in three ways, of which the middle road was dominated by catapults, the front was sword and shield soldiers, the middle and two wings of pikemen, plus the cavalry of Zhang Liaobu who was set at the front, under such protection, unless Gao Shun's trapping camp was dispatched, it was difficult to touch the opponent's catapult. The advantage of Lu Bujun's army is field warfare, and now Wei Xuan has proved that his night combat ability is not bad.

Just when Lu Bu was very entangled, a scout rushed up the city wall and knelt down in front of Lu Bu and said, "General Bao, General Xu Rong's 2,000 cavalry is already about ten miles outside the city, and there is no ambush at present. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to everyone: "Send someone to pick up Xu Rong, let him lead the cavalry to attack the infantry phalanx on the left flank of Xuan, and take a short rest to lead the cavalry out of the south gate to attack and defend the right flank of Xuan, I don't believe that I can't tear apart his infantry phalanx." ”

Song Xian, Hao Meng and the others were not very happy when they heard this, they drooped their heads one by one, obviously they were mistreated by Zhang Fei and others just now, Gao Shun was also worried, he had already tried once before, but he lost nearly four hundred cavalry in less than half an hour. Now there is another key to how many cavalry Wei Xuan has, if Lu Bu goes out from the south gate and encounters 4,000 cavalry, how to break the infantry phalanx?

Gao Shun pondered for a long time and said: "General, it is better to wait for the camp to go out from the front, and then several other cavalry will follow Shun, and the general will sit at the head of the city to prevent Wei Xuan's infantry from climbing the wall." ”

Lu Bu fell into deep thought when he heard this, he knew that even if Gao Shun had not participated in the battle before, it would be difficult to break the front Weixuan infantry phalanx with the eight hundred traps alone, the key was that these eight hundred people were placed on the city wall, but they were very sharp garrison forces, once they left the city, the city would be empty, if they couldn't defeat the front in one go, they might be occupied by the enemy.
