Tao Qian was already trapped in Langya County, unable to advance or retreat, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and now Lu Bu openly entered Langya County, and the soldiers surrounded Kaiyang, which was a catastrophe!

Zang Ba, Zhao Yu has the heart to defend the city, but there are few soldiers and little food in the city, and there are no reinforcements outside, facing Lu Bu's 20,000 horses, how can he hold it?

Zang Ba and Zhao Yu were discussing countermeasures, but Lu Bu outside the city couldn't wait.

He looked at Gao Shun and the others beside him, and said in a loud voice: "Kaiyang County, how can you stop me Lu Bu?" Gao Shun, prepare to attack the city! ”

"Yes!" Gao Shun raised his hand. He has always been silent, and he values the orders of his superiors the most, and when he got the token, he began to transfer troops.

Gao Shun can also be regarded as a long-standing battle formation, surrounded by three missing one, focusing on attacking the south gate, with 5,000 people, preparing in an orderly manner.

Cheng Lian came to Lu Bu and said, "Lord, my subordinates feel that in half a day at most, my subordinates will be able to persuade them to surrender." ”

Lu Bu looked arrogant and said, "I don't need them to surrender, I need Tao Qian's head!" ”

Cheng Lian was stunned and said, "What does the lord mean?" ”

Lu Bu laughed and said: "The Han family is coming to an end, it is where heroes come in, I, Lu Bu, how can I live under people for a long time!" ”

Cheng Lian looked at Lu Bu, his heart shook suddenly, and he immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "My subordinates are willing to follow the lord and achieve great things!" ”

Cheng Lian also realized that when Lu Bu asked them to change their title to 'lord', it actually indicated that Lu Bu was not a 'subordinate'.

Lu Bu laughed even more, and the white horse under him roared even more, as if he felt the emotions of his master, and couldn't help but charge into battle.

Not long after, Gao Shun was ready, and with an order, thousands of people rushed straight to open the south gate of Yang.

Kaiyang is just a small county town, the city wall is not enough, the city gate is not big, and the siege of thousands of people immediately has a crumbling trend.

Zang Ba was at the head of the city, brandishing a big knife, and shouted with all his strength: "Kill me!" Kill them! ”

There were less than a thousand soldiers on the city gate, and they all knew the consequences of the destruction of the city, and no one flinched and desperately defended it.

In the other three gates, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses did not attack, but they did enough to attack the city, and the soldiers on the city gate were very nervous, and they did not dare to breathe.

Zhao Yu's expression was gloomy, and he patrolled the city back and forth, not daring to be careless.

The battle at the south gate has become increasingly fierce, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses have already entered the city and fought for the city head.

At the gate of the city, there was a group of people, holding a hammer, and they were hitting one after another.

The gate trembled, the ground shook endlessly, and inside the city gate, the officers and soldiers were against the long wood, blocking the gate.

Zang Ba shouted angrily at the head of the city, hacked to death a retreating one, and shouted: "Stop me, once the rebels enter the city, everyone will die!" ”

The officers and soldiers desperately shouted to kill and struggled to resist.

But after all, the enemy is outnumbered, and Kaiyang City, in less than half an hour, is in danger of falling.

Lu Bu, who was not far away, rode back and forth on horseback, his face was proud and disdainful, and said: "How can a mere Kaiyang stop me Lu Bu!" ”

Cheng Lian didn't ride a horse, stood aside, and said, "Lord, I'll take people to the north gate to prevent them from escaping!" ”

Lu Bu nodded indifferently and said, "Fate Gao Shun to step up the attack, and he will break Kaiyang today!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald responded and rushed to give the order.

Gao Shun received an order to immediately increase his troops and storm the south gate.

On the city tower, more than half of the already small soldiers have been lost, and the young men in the city picked up the weapons on the ground and clumsily slashed and slashed, but they also fell to the ground one by one.

Zang Ba's eyes were red, he roared angrily, his body was covered in blood, and he still refused to retreat.

Zhao Yu rushed over with people and fought with Lu Bu's soldiers and horses who rushed up, trying his best to reluctantly defend it.

"Why are you here!?" Zang Ba yelled.

Although Zhao Yu was a civil official, he also picked up a knife at this time, resisted with difficulty, and said loudly: "I can't hold it!" ”

Zang Ba's face was hideous, he didn't talk nonsense anymore, and continued to slash.

Zhao Yu's words are very simple, if the south gate cannot be defended, it is equivalent to the city being broken, and the transfer of troops and horses from the other three gates is a desperate situation, and there is no way.

"Envoy!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yu lost his voice in surprise when he saw it.

I saw Tao Qian, who was pale and terminally ill, slowly went up to the city gate with the support of the soldiers.

Tao Qian came to the Arrow Pavilion, his face was full of bitterness, and he said to Zhao Yu, who rushed over: "Tao Qian is incompetent, and he is tired of the three armies. ”

Zhao Yu originally wanted to persuade Tao Qian to leave, but when he heard the words, he was speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

Tao Qian is a 'benevolent official', 'clean official', and 'grand prestige', but for the current Xuzhou, he has no merit, and even is indeed incompetent.

But if he had a little courage, he would not have fallen to the point where he is today.

Outside the city, Lu Bu rode a horse and slowly walked towards the south gate.

At most, in a moment and a half, the south gate of Kaiyang will be breached.

boom

The city gate, which had long been broken, was suddenly knocked open, and the city gate fell to the ground in pieces, stirring up countless dust.

"Rush!"

Lu Bu's army was full of momentum, and the city gate at the head of the city fought desperately and rushed into Kaiyang City.

"Kill!"

Lu Bu patted his horse, led the army, and went straight to the city gate.

Tao Qian in the Arrow Pavilion saw this, his face was extremely pale in an instant, and he couldn't stand steadily, so he called Zang Ba and Zhao Yu, and said forcefully: "That's it, you cut off my head and sacrifice it to Na Lu Bu to save your lives, and also to save the lives of the people in the city as much as possible." ”

Zang Ba scolded angrily: "Fart, I, Zang Ba, am a traitor to survive!" ”

Zhao Yu also had a calm face and said: "Envoy, Zhao Yu has no virtue, but if you don't be a villain, you would rather die under Lu Bu's knife than surrender to a thief!" ”

Tao Qian looked at the two of them, becoming more and more bitter, he could only sigh helplessly, looked up at the sky, and said sadly: "My Han is virtuous and mighty, why did he end up in such a field......"

"Kill!"

Lu Bu had already entered the city, taking the lead, and no one was in the middle of the road.

Zang Ba didn't have time to pay attention to Tao Qian's self-pity, holding a big knife, he walked to the entrance of the city tower, his face was hideous, ready to fight with Lu Bu.

Zhao Yu also knew that now was not the time to sigh, holding the knife and protecting Tao Qian.

Lu Bu didn't kill him, but he just ordered Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others continued to kill and make a forced landing, and they didn't mean to do it themselves.

At the same time, in a dense forest not far outside Kaiyang County, there were no birds, let alone sound.

Next to a big tree, Zhang Chao, the former Xiapi and Guangling Taishou, stood and looked at the direction of Kaiyang.

Beside him, stood the tall, majestic and mighty Guangling Gong Cao Zanghong.

Zang Hong's expression was cold, and he said, "It's too guarded, Lu Bu has broken the city." ”

Zhang Chao's figure is not tall, his face is wide and long, like a simple rich man, his face is full of coldness at this time, and he said: "Zang Hong obeys orders!" ”

"The lower official is here!" Zang Hong immediately raised his hand and said.

Zhang Chao pulled over the horse, turned over, and said: "Order you to lead an army of 2,000 to attack Lu Bu's camp and burn Lu Bu's grain and grass, and the others will follow me to rescue Xu Zhijun!" ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Zang Hong said in a deep voice.

Without waiting for Zang Hong's words to fall, Zhang Chao held a long sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill the traitor!" ”

"Kill!" The army behind Zhang Chao followed him like a tide and poured out towards Kaiyang City.

Zang Hong did not delay, led 2,000 troops, and went straight to the direction of Lu Bu's camp.

At this time, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others had already killed the city, besieged Tao Qian, Zang Ba, Zhao Yu and others in the Arrow Pavilion, and they were about to die.

The sudden shouting in the east of the city alarmed everyone.

Gao Shun hurriedly looked, only to see that the mountains were full of officers and soldiers, rushing out of the woods, unable to see the end at a glance, and unable to estimate the number of people.

"My lord, some of them are running to the camp!" Cheng Lian suddenly said urgently.

Grain and grass are more precious than gold for the current army. Probably except for the Han court and the state pastors who received the support of the great family, almost all of the people's grain and grass were brought by plunder.

Among them are Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao!

Lu Bu stood at the head of the city, grabbed the long hair, went down the tower, and shouted: "Watch them, wait until I kill them before making a decision!" ”

Tao Qian, in the end, is the history of Xuzhou Thorn, there are still many uses, Lu Bu doesn't want to kill it.

Lu Bu's soldiers and horses responded and surrounded the Arrow Pavilion.

Tao Qian watched Lu Bu leave, turned his head and couldn't see the reinforcements, coughed, and wondered, "You found reinforcements?" ”

Zhao Yu was also puzzled and said, "I wrote the letter, but it shouldn't be so fast." ”

Zang Ba shook his head even more, with his background as a bandit, where are his officialdom friends.

Tao Qian was on crutches, looking to the east, although he was confused, he was more excited.

Perhaps the people of the city have been saved. ’

Lu Buyi was bold, led his troops out of the city, and directly met Zhang Chao.

"Zhang Chao? If you don't leave a single one, kill me! ”

Lu Bu and Zhang Chao are also old acquaintances, and Xiapi was snatched from Zhang Chao.

He rode on a tall horse, armed with a spear, and moved like a thunderstorm.

Zhang Chao didn't expect Lu Bu to be so bold, he looked back, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Punish the thief!" ”

Zhang Chao's soldiers and horses, he brought from Xiapi to Guangling and then to Langya County, a full of 15,000 people, although they did not experience any major battles, but there are also some newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and in the blink of an eye, they will fight with Lu Bu.

"Lord, the big warehouse is on!" Suddenly, Cao Xing, who was behind Lu Bu, shouted urgently.

Lu Bu, who was galloping on a horse, turned his head and saw the direction of Okura, thick smoke billowing out, even in the daytime, he could see the sky-high fire.

"Impossible! How can it be so fast! ”

Lübler held his horse, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.

According to the distance, Tao Qian's reinforcements have not traveled half the way to his granary, why is the granary on fire?

Zhang Chao also saw it, but he was overjoyed, regardless of the reason, he erected a long sword and shouted: "The traitor's grain and grass are burned, soldiers, kill the thief!" ”

"Kill!"

Zhang Chao's morale was greatly boosted, and the pace of the charge was much faster.

The so-called ups and downs one after another, Zhang Chaojun's heart was high, and Lu Bu's army, which had been burned with grain and grass, suddenly became a mess, and noisy voices arose.

Cao Xuan was even more panicked and said, "Lord, what should I do?" ”

The granary is on fire, the army is in chaos, how can the war be fought?

Lu Bu was confident that he would defeat the so-called Zhang Chao, but the army's morale was in turmoil, and no matter how confident he was, he had no choice but to order: "Withdraw!" ”

For Zhang Chao, who was approaching, Cao Xing was left with 1,000 people to block it, and Lu Bu took more than 10,000 people without looking back, and ran in the direction of Xiapi.

With such a good opportunity, Zhang Chao naturally would not let it go, and chased after him and shouted like thunder.

And Gao Shun and others at the head of Kaiyang City wanted to kill Tao Qian and others, but they saw no effect after rushing to kill for a while, so they had to lead their troops to withdraw.

Tao Qian and the others were free, and then they came to the city gate to look.

"It's Zhang Chao, why is he here?" Zhao Yu said with some surprise.

After this wave, Tao Qian's cough became even more serious, looked at the direction of Zhang Chao's army's pursuit, and said, "I remember, he should be in Guangling, under Ding Shijun......"

Until now, Tao Qian didn't know that Ding Yuan died in the hands of Lu Bu.

Zang Ba didn't care about this, looked at the flames of Lu Bu's camp in the distance, and said in surprise: "This Zhang Chao is really a good method, and he can actually burn Lu Bu's granary?" How long was he in ambush? ”

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "No, we didn't find out, how could Lu Bu not find out?" Unless he just arrived. ”

Tao Qian coughed repeatedly, holding the city wall with one hand, and said, "How did he suddenly appear in Langya County?" ”

Zang Ba, Zhao Yu turned to Tao Qian, this question was asked to the key.

While they were wondering, the south of Lu Bu's granary was not far away.

Huangfu Jianchang, Cheng Yu, and Shi A are on a big tree, admiring the fire.

Huangfu smashed his mouth with a look of pity, and said: "If you hadn't come in a hurry, if you give me another half a day, these grains and grass will be mine......"

Cheng Yu grabbed a branch with some caution, and said with a smile of admiration: "Second son, it is still the great Sima who is far-sighted and buried Zhang Chao's strange army, otherwise Tao Yuanjun and others are afraid that they will die today." ”

Huangfu nodded and said, "It's too late to tell me, but if you tell me half a day early, these grains and grass will be mine......"

Shi A stood holding his sword, glanced at him, and said, "In Engong's letter, you are ordered to escort Tao Envoy Jun and others into Beijing, what are you going to do?" ”

Huangfu Jian coughed, straightened his waist, and said: "My Imperial City Mansion is not affiliated with the Taiwan Pavilion, and the Great Sima Mansion can't control me, so at most I will send someone to escort me." ”

Shi Ah ignored him, knowing that he was still competing.

Seeing that Lu Bu was defeated and the siege of Kaiyang was resolved, Huangfu Jian asked Cheng Yu: "Sir, what should we do now?" ”

Cheng Yu kept staring at the direction of Lu Bu's escape, and said, "Second son, Lu Bu's direction is Xiapi County, either stand on your own or take refuge in Dong Zhuo." Now that Langya County has been saved, the imperial court said that it would not send troops to recruit Lu Bu, from the direction of Langya County and Guangling, Lu Bu suffered from the enemy on his back, so he had to defect to Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shu. ”

"Dong Zhuo's possibilities are higher!"

Huangfu Jian's eyes became sharp, and he said, "Let's go to Xiangxian, right?" ”

Cheng Yu groaned for a moment and said, "Second son, why don't you go to Yangzhou?" ”

Huangfu Jian said: "In the past, the imperial court had no choice, so it had to use Dong Zhuo and others to resist Yuan Shu and delay time. Now that the imperial court has relieved itself, it has enough strength to conquer Yuan Shu. Didn't Mr. say that the layout of the imperial court is stricter and more powerful than before, and Yuan Shu is one million, just two years after the Ming Dynasty? Then we don't care what he does, naturally we have to deal with Dong Zhuo, who is more troublesome, first. ”

Cheng Yu saw that Huangfu Jian's thoughts were so clear, so he said: "Second son, is this Zhang Chao credible?" ”

Zhang Chao is Zhang Miao's brother, the year before last, Zhang Miao rebelled, took refuge in Yuan Shu, and was later killed by Zhao Yun, but Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, vowed to draw a clear line with Zhang Miao, never participate in the rebellion, prevent Yuan Shu from entering Xuzhou, and was pardoned by the imperial court.

Huangfu Jianchang was also a little hesitant, thought for a while, and said, "If Mr. wants to use soldiers, Guan Yunchang can use it." ”

"How many soldiers?" Cheng Yu asked.

Huangfu said with a long sigh: "Three thousand, what is Mr. going to do?" ”

Cheng Yu was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say for the time being, but it's always a lot more convenient to have a soldier and horse by your side." ”

Huangfu Jian looked up at the north, and suddenly said excitedly: "What big thing is Mr. going to do?" I can transfer 10,000 from Yanzhou, 10,000 from Jizhou, plus other places, a total of 30,000! ”

Cheng Yu looked at Huangfu Jian with some surprise.

You know, 30,000 troops is not a small number!

Don't look at Yuan Shu's aggressiveness, known as an army of 300,000, if you look at it, the elite is only 20,000 or 30,000.

That Dong Zhuo is even more so, the real combat power is only Xiliang soldiers and horses, the total number is only 20,000!

And the soldiers and horses on the surface of the imperial court are only more than 100,000, and the emperor's mouth is 30,000, which may occupy nearly forty percent of the imperial court's troops!

Not to mention that Huangfu Jian is just a school captain, it is the Great Sima Huangfu Song, if you want to mobilize 30,000 troops, you have to ask for an order, right?

At least, he won't be like Huangfu Jianchang who will transfer 30,000 troops as he wants!

I slept for a long time, and when I woke up, I saw that the management said that the cute lord was coming, and I thought she lied to me, and I was suspicious, but I didn't expect it to be true!
