When Lu Bu retreated to the city with his soldiers and horses, a message gave him a slap in the face, Xu Rong was defeated! And it was not Wei Zheng who defeated him, but Tai Shici. Then the bad news came one after another, Wei Zheng had already led his troops to attack the north gate, and now the north gate had been blocked, even if he rushed out with people, the speed of the cavalry could not come up, and he still faced the same embarrassment as before.

Zhao Yun blocked the south gate, and Wei Yan had already begun to arrange the project.

The Ximen catapult has begun to launch boulders, and the castle tower is seriously damaged!

Lu Bu couldn't figure it out anyway, Wei Xuan's cavalry was either at the west gate or the south gate, and the fierce generals were basically in these two places, how Xu Rong, who was the first person in Liangzhou, was defeated in a battle, and he lost to a little-known Tai Shici, and the other party still dispatched 2,000 infantry! When did Wei Xuan's army become brave enough to this extent, or did Xu Rong fail to work?

Gao Shun said worriedly: "General, now that the south gate is blocked, Wei Yan is about to attack, and if the small men sink into the north and south, I am afraid that they will not last long." Now the question is where did Wei Xuan's Chinese army go? ”

???????????????? Gao Shun didn't say that he took the trapped camp to attack the infantry phalanx at the West Gate, it was because Zhang Liao had arranged more than 2,000 cavalry there. Even if there is no cavalry on this side, without the cooperation of the cavalry, it is a difficult thing for 800 people to destroy the catapult in the 5,000-man array, the key is that if the camp is trapped and the city is out, the attack of the north and south gates will not be able to divide the forces to defend.

Lu Bu sighed, looking at the catapults that kept launching stones into the city, feeling that if he didn't stop those guys as soon as possible, the walls of this Monkey City might not last for two days, and maybe they might be smashed tonight. Looking at Zhang Liao under the city with more than 2,000 cavalry waiting in battle, he knew that Zhao Yun must have led someone to block the south gate at this moment. People are relying on the strong to bully the weak, to fight more and less. If Xu Rong withdraws from the battlefield, then Tai Shici still has the previous strange soldiers who can completely block the north gate. Gao Shun's words also reminded him that although Wei Xuan's avenue was outside the city, Wei Xuan's Chinese army did not see it, and at least 5,000 infantry did not know where to go. If so, it means that he will have to rely on more than 4,000 people to fight against Wei Xuan's nearly 20,000 men, and the key is that those catapults are destroying too quickly.

Wei Xuan: Is this going to repeat the scene of Yuyuan Pass, closing the door and beating the dog again?

After pondering for a long time, Lu Bu sighed and said to the herald beside him: "Pack up your bags, withdraw from the east gate of Monkey City in half an hour, after this will be broken, Zixiu, you will come to open the way for the whole army." Inform Xu Rong and Wei Xu that our army will enter the Yan Division. ”

Hearing this, Song Xian, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and others looked at each other, but no one spoke to dissuade them, because everyone thought that before Xu Rong and the infantry from Hujiao Pass arrived, these soldiers and horses in the city could not stand it at all, and the cavalry had no advantage, and the only result if they continued was that the whole army was wiped out and then the city was broken by Wei Xuan.

Gao Shun nodded solemnly and went down the city wall.

There are a lot of things that need to be brought with the army in a hasty retreat, and retreat is also a science, if the hasty retreat is to flee from the east gate, once Wei Xuan notices in advance, the difficulty of escaping will be greatly increased.

Gao Shun's approach was to divide the trapping camp into three parts, and the south gate and the north gate each increased by 200 people, and he personally brought 400 people to the east gate.

More than 2,000 infantry in the city, plus the temporarily recruited young men, were erected together, and there were only 600 people stationed at the north, south, and west gates. Faced with an attack by an enemy several times their size, the north and south gates soon fell into passivity.

Especially at the south gate where Wei Yan was sitting, soon there were soldiers who climbed the city wall and began hand-to-hand combat with the defenders, and when the two hundred people from the trapped camp came to the city wall, there were more than 100 enemies who climbed the city wall.

At this time, the courage of the trapped camp was reflected, they were divided into two groups, from east to west, from west to east to quickly clear the enemy who climbed the city wall, where they passed, the enemy army was either killed or cut down and fell off the city wall, but it was just a cup of tea, and the advantage gained by Wei Yanbu was in vain.

Wei Yan, who was looking at the tower in the distance, frowned when he saw this, and Wen Ping and Li Yan on the front line sent heralds back to ask for battle as soon as possible, asking to personally lead the team to the city.

In fact, in the deployment in front of the station, no one expected that the battle would go so smoothly and start early in the morning,???????????????? It was just after noon, and the siege of the enemy city had begun to form on three sides. At this rate, as long as no new reinforcements arrive from the enemy tonight, the breach of the city is certain.

Wei Yan estimated that it should be the enemy's reserved reserve that counterattacked just now. As long as the offensive intensity is maintained, the enemy will gradually gain an advantage without reserves. However, he still sent someone to inform Wei Xuan of the changes in the enemy as soon as possible.

Then Wei Zheng's herald also arrived, and Wei Xuan, who was looking at the tower outside the West Gate, also frowned when he saw the news, he guessed that Lu Bu was dispersing the trapping camp to defend the city, which means that Lu Bu gave up using the trapping camp to attack the West Gate catapult? The cavalry raid out of the city has also failed, and now he has given up the trap camp and raided out of the city, so he is ready to be beaten passively?

Wei Xuan looked at the three strategists beside him and asked, "Zhicai, sir, Fengxiao, is Lu Bu doing this the last fight?" ”

Xi Zhicai touched his chin and analyzed: "The three thousand cavalry in Lu Bu City have now lost one-third, and the rest are also very tired and demoralized, and it is impossible to rely on cavalry to stop my infantry from attacking the city. Then he still has 4,000 foot riders, plus the estimated 1,000 young men temporarily recruited, which means that he still has 5,000 people to dispatch. If you want to hold the four gates, then the defenders of each city gate are not more than 1,000 people, from the observation since the beginning of the war, it seems that in addition to the west gate in order to avoid the catapult a large number of soldiers waiting in the hiding hole of the city wall, the north and south gates of the army deployment of no more than 600 people, now at the same time with the use of 400 reserves to strengthen the north and south gates, and then the east gate also needs to be guarded, there is no reserve in the city. Then it's obvious what Lu Bu wants to do. ”

After saying that, Xi Zhi looked at Jia Xu, the enemy gave up the surprise attack out of the city, and no longer left reserves, so the purpose was obvious. Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "In the words of the drama military master, Lu Bu is afraid that he will be in a catastrophe today." Lord, since Lu Bu wants to run to the east gate, did he send someone to ambush? ”

Wei Xuan didn't speak, but glanced at Xi Zhicai, and then looked at Guo Jia. Although Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu both judged that Lu Bu was preparing to escape, he still couldn't believe it, that was Lu Bu, who was the best in the world, and he would have to shoot if he defended the city for half a day?

Guo Jia stubbornly said: "If Lu Bu wants to defend the city to the death, he should cherish the trapping camp very much, and adopt the tactics of adding fuel wave by wave, only in this way can he delay for a longer time and exhaust our army." Therefore, Jia thought that at most half an hour, Lu Bu must come out of the east gate, and he had some soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison, it has been four days since our army arrived at the Monkey Clan, if the Tiger Prison wants to send reinforcements, the cavalry should be about to arrive, and the Yan Division is stationed in Xu Rong, although Xu Rong was defeated first, but the Yan Division still has at least four or five thousand people, if it is still possible to stick to the Yan Division with Lu Bu and He Bing. He can also go directly to Yique Pass. Therefore, whether it is an ambush or a pursuit mission, it is very heavy, unless Lu Bu is blocked in the city, otherwise Lu Bu has a lot of direction class options. Moreover, with the bravery of Lu Bu and the generals under his command, if he wants to break through, one or two soldiers and horses will not be able to stop him. ”

Wei Xuan basically understood, so he said to the herald: "Order the battalions of Huang Zhong, Wei Zheng, and Wei Yan to hurry up and attack the city, keep an eye on the enemy at the head of the city, and don't let them escape."

The herald Tai Shici continued to force Xu Rong to force him out of the battlefield.

Ordered Zhang Liao, the tiger and leopard rode to guard the west gate, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the troops and Taishi???????????????? Mercy Confluence.

Du Peng was ordered to continue to block the south gate.

Zhao Yun was ordered to lead his troops to the east gate to prepare to intercept Lu Bu.

Messenger Dian Wei and Xu Chu led their troops to support Zhao Yun at the East Gate.

Liu Bei, Cai Meng, and Zhou Cang were ordered to lead their troops to the east gate to set up an ambush in Pengpo Mountain in the northeast. ”

As a Ming herald soldier rushed away, Wei Xuan finally showed a smile. The more battlefields he has, the greater his advantage, because he has a wide range of generals, especially in terms of generals, many people can be entangled with Lu Bu for a while, and they don't have to worry about being killed by Lu Bu in a second. After pausing for a while, Wei Xuan didn't forget to ask the three think tank members: "Is there anything else missing?" ”

Xi Zhicai thought for a while and said, "Liu Bei and Zhou Cang are afraid that they won't be able to arrive in time." ”

Wei Xuan nodded, because someone needed to stay behind, Wei Xuan left Liu Bei and Zhou Cang to garrison the Chinese army camp. Cai Meng was placed in the northeast corner to inspect the enemy's reinforcements and cavalry movements. If Liu Bei and Zhou Cang couldn't arrive in time, then Cai Meng would have to face Lu Bu's fleeing troops alone with five hundred men.

Then Wei Xuan turned to the herald and said, "The herald Su Lie pays close attention to the enemy's movements, and once the enemy breaks and flees, immediately rush to Pengpo Mountain to set up an ambush."

He ordered all cavalry captains, Simas, and military marquis to prepare to intercept and pursue Lü Bu's defeated army. The herald ordered Huang Zhong, Wei Zheng, and Wei Yan to flee once the enemy in front of them fled, Huang Zhong's troops entered the city to collect the enemy's remnants and maintain order in the city, and Wei Yan led his troops to follow and delay the enemy army. After Wei Zheng blocked the north gate, he sent troops to reinforce Peng Po Mountain. ”

Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded, so that there would not be much space in terms of deployment. It depends on the results of the battles of the soldiers and Lu Bu's determination.

As one order after another was conveyed, it was naturally Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who took the lead, and the intensity of the three battalions' attacks gradually increased. Simon opened his cavalry and retreated some distance, and the stones fired by the catapult increased significantly.

The North Gate Wei Zheng also adjusted the offensive deployment, and Su Lie was dispatched to the city wall near the east side, ready to reinforce Pengbo Mountain at any time. Especially at the south gate, Wei Yan no longer stopped Wen Ping and Li Yan, the two had already come to the front of the battle, ready to see the opportunity to lead his own soldiers to the wall.
