Chapter 478: Pengcheng is lost
When Lu Bu heard the news of Chen Gong's departure, he suddenly felt empty in his heart, this feeling he had never had before, even when he knew that Li Su and Gao Shun were both traitors.
He was depressed in his heart, and he couldn't help but walk out of the house and towards the courtyard, when the moonlight was like water, shining coldly on Lu Bu's body, giving him a more sad feeling.
At this moment, suddenly a rush of footsteps came, and Lu Bu listened to the sound and identified people, and already knew who the person who was coming.
Sure enough, after a while, under the bright moonlight, Zhang Liaowei'an's body appeared in the corridor of the courtyard.
When Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao, he felt a little relieved in his heart, this is the character who followed him to fight the country at the beginning and never gave up, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid Lu Bu really had the intention of surrendering and dying.
Zhang Liao walked quickly, the moonlight shone on his face, illuminating his already pale face even more bloodless, he looked towards Lu Bu and opened his mouth to ask, "General, I heard that you expelled Mr. Chen Gong from Pengcheng?" ”
Lu Bu was upset at this time, and he was no longer in the mood to answer Zhang Liao, he just smiled bitterly, and said in a tone that was neither hot nor cold: "What, didn't Wen Yuan come here late at night just to accuse me?" ”
Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu already felt a little decadent, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, he originally heard that Lu Bu had expelled Chen Gong, and he was even more angry in his heart, but now that he saw that Lu Bu had become like this, Zhang Liao was more sympathetic than angry in his heart.
He said slowly: "General...... You...... What's the pain? ”
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Why bother, why bother...... The tree falls and scatters, that's the truth, why should I suffer? ”
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen Gong is by no means an ungrateful person, that is, a general, you are surrounded by people from all over the world, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, Mr. Chen Gong will never turn his back on you!" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his heart was even more uncomfortable, how could he not know Chen Gong's heart for his fists, but as Zhang Liao said, the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable Lu Bu feels in his heart. Chen Gong, Chen Gong, is obviously one of Lu Bu's most trustworthy people, but because of a disagreement, he was forcibly expelled by Lu Bu.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu finally began to show his regrets, although he had regretted it more than once.
Lu Bu sighed and said slowly, "Wen Yuan, did I do something wrong?" ”
Zhang Liao nodded without thinking, and said, "General, you really did something wrong. ”
Lu Bu let out another long sigh, suddenly thought of something, and then asked slowly: "Wen Yuan, before leaving, Gongtai said that he suggested that we abandon Pengcheng and go to Xiapi, where to resist stubbornly and wait for Chen Yan's rescue, what do you think of this idea?" ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said loudly: "This is a good idea!" Now that the army outside is besieging the city, and there are a lot of catapults, if we hold on again, within three days, the city will be broken, and then we will not have time to leave, and the troops have been reaped and damaged, how can we resist Cao Cao's army with the sergeants of Xiapi? ”
Lu Bu didn't expect Zhang Liao to agree with Chen Gong's idea so easily, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart, was he really a stubborn fool, why couldn't he have realized Chen Gong's good intentions earlier?
And these anxieties were once again converted into a long sigh, and in just one meal, Lu Bu almost sighed the anger of his life.
"In that case...... Let's just ......."
Lu Bu had just finished speaking, when suddenly a loud "boom" sounded, like a thunderbolt in mid-air!
After that, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao suddenly realized what was happening, and they looked up to wish, only to see that the city not far away suddenly had a few huge things pressed by the black.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of "boom" and "boom" were endless, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's faces changed greatly, and they immediately understood what was happening.
This is a catapult, and Cao Jun's thunderbolt catapult has begun to attack the city! A good Cao Cao, he was so impatient, he knew that if he did it later, I was afraid that Lu Bu would have to find a way to deal with it, and Chen Yan was also on the way to rescue Xuzhou at this time.
For Cao Cao, there is no delay for a moment!
At this moment, suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses outside Lu Bu's mansion, and then Zang Ba actually rushed into Lu Bu's house on horseback, and he shouted loudly: "General! Oh no, Cao's army is attacking the city! ”
Lu Bu looked at Zang Ba, only to see that Zang Ba had lost his former calm at this time, he was not dressed neatly in armor, holding a weapon in his hand, and his whole body began to tremble.
Lu Bu shouted violently: "Don't panic, let's send a team to resist Cao Cao, and the rest of the men and horses hurry up from the south gate and evacuate to Xia Pi!" ”
Zang Ba heard this, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time, could it be that General Lu Bu wanted to give up Pengcheng? This Pengcheng is the most important city in the whole Xuzhou, if you give up Pengcheng, it is equivalent to giving up most of Xuzhou!
Thinking of this, Zang Ba frowned and asked, "General, this Pengcheng is the largest city in Xuzhou, we really want to ......."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu glared at him and said, "Hugh is talking nonsense, just do it, you quickly go and inform the Taiping Immortal, and bother him to protect Gao Shun and go first." ”
Zang Ba didn't dare to say any more, so he had to take the order and leave.
Zhang Liao suddenly stepped forward and said, "General, you take the military horse first, and the matter will be handed over to me." ”
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, shook his head abruptly and said, "No, the catapult's firepower is too fierce, and you can't stand it alone." ”
Zhang Liao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, with my treasure sword, no matter what kind of people Cao Cao has, he is not my opponent." ”
Lu Bu still shook his head and said, "No, I will break off with you." ”
Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped: "What if Cao Cao still has an ambush in the south?" General, you'd better go to Xiapi first. ”
Seeing that Zhang Liao insisted on this, Lu Bu had to sigh and said, "Since that's the case...... Wen Yuan, then I'm going to trouble you. ”
Zhang Liao nodded and immediately left.
At this time, the entire Pengcheng had begun to crumble under the bombardment of catapults, and although Cao Cao's army had just used catapults, they had already mastered the essence of catapults, and they not only attacked the city walls, but also concentrated their fire towards the city gates.
The walls were still made of rammed earth, but the gates were only wooden planks, and under the strong attack of the catapults, the gates at this time began to be unsupportable.
Outside the city gate is the first team composed of Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei, the people and horses are vast, the soldiers are strong, Xiahou Yuan immediately crossed the sword, looked at the city gate of Pengcheng that had begun to loosen, turned to Dian Wei and said: "Dian Jun, Chen Yan really has some treasures, this catapult is really a powerful thing." ”
Dian Wei sneered, his face was full of murder, and he said, "Yes, Chen Yan is indeed a character. ”
