Chapter 241: The soldiers sent to Hanoi to capture Jia Xu (Seventh)

It turned out that the troops that Lu Bu mobilized during the day were all the troops that the Central Army could mobilize. At night, the one who stopped quietly was Wu Gu leading 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to protect all the wounded soldiers, escorting all the prisoners, and sneaking to the southwest corner military camp. Jia Xu made a judgment based on Lu Bu's past strategies, thinking that he had made a plan, but he didn't know that Lu Bu had used the strategy again.

In the northeast corner, Lu Bu stood in the cloud car and could see at a glance that the people who changed defenses on the city walls of the northeast corner were mostly fake Xiliang soldiers dressed as ordinary people. He was secretly happy that his plan had been deceived by Jia Xu.

At the second half, Guan Gu first led 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to pull up a hundred thunderbolt chariots, bluffed and bombed the stones to the city walls of the southwest corner. Under the pressure of the auxiliary soldiers, the prisoners shook flags and shouted, and set off the floating bridge to pretend to cross the moat to confuse Niu Fu and Jia Xu.

In the northeast corner, after Lu Bu waited until the thunder chariot in the southwest corner began to roar, he ordered all the soldiers to move and carry the already built floating bridge section, so that the deep-seated soldiers jumped into the moat and connected the floating bridge. After the other soldiers were built one by one, they carried the ladders that had been built on the road and rushed under the city. Ten thousand crossbowmen shot at the city wall together to cover the actions of other soldiers.

Niu Fu still placed thousands of old, weak and disabled soldiers in the northeast corner. Seeing that Lu Bu's army was not a feint, they were playing real. While sending people to inform Niu Fu, they urged the people pretending to be Xiliang soldiers to throw stones, pour tinder oil, and push ladders to try to stop the Central Army from siege.

After the floating bridge was set up, the elite crossbow soldiers of the Central Army followed urgently, and even when they stood on the floating bridge, they would shoot at the top of the city to cover the sword and shield soldiers to climb the ladder.

In particular, the four master archers Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Cao Xing and Hao Zhao joined forces to shoot at the top of the city, and the arrows were like meteors, which were indeed true.

Especially Lu Bu, each arrow shot the leader of the Xiliang soldiers who were exposed to force the people to kill them. They either shot the head and the powerful arrows rushed straight into the face. The sharp and dark rain of arrows seemed to be a black meteor drilling into the forehead of the head, and then penetrated out from the back of the head, or bursting into the throat. The black arrow feathers rushed into the throat of the head and then rushed out from the back of the neck. The death was very miserable. Some of the leaders of the Xiliang soldiers who were shot simply smashed down from the top of the city. Even if they fell under the three-meter-high city wall, they died clearly.

The remaining old, weak and disabled soldiers and innocent people saw the tragic death of the leader, either ran down the city in panic, or lay on the ground of the city wall, waiting for an unpredictable fate. They could not have the idea of ​​resisting in their hearts.

In this way, in an instant, Wei Yue, who waved his two swords, cut over a Xiliang soldier who was trying to push the ladder, and took the lead in climbing the city. Other soldiers followed one after another and quickly occupied the city wall in the northeast corner.

Wei Yue continued to wave his swords and slash towards the east gate, leading his two thousand shield soldiers, killing hundreds of Xiliang remaining soldiers guarding the east gate, opening the east gate, and calling on the Central Army cavalry to attack Henei City.

Xu Huang led 10,000 elite cavalry under his command to attack Hanoi City first, and Lu Bu led 10,000 flying tiger elite cavalry to follow closely and attacked the southwest corner of Hanoi City. Huang Zhong led the infantry to quickly follow.

About the houses near the southwest corner, Lu Bu shouted: "Set the fire!"

Xu Huang led 10,000 elite cavalry to speed through the ambush circle, lit the torch that had been prepared, and threw it into the houses. At this time, Hanoi City was approaching the cold winter and had not rained for more than a month. The weather was dry and the things were dry. Those houses were covered by plants and trees, so they were just lit.

In an instant, the raging fire shone the city of Hanoi as daylight, and the rolling smoke made Niu Fu's 60,000 troops no longer able to perform what Jia Xu said to continue lurking and luring the central cavalry to conduct street fighting, and rushed out of the house in panic.

When they rushed out of the house, what awaited them was the 20,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 crossbowmen who were waiting for the central government.

Lu Bu shot out a whistle arrow, and 40,000 central government troops followed closely, shooting arrows that were ready to go. The dense arrow feathers flew down like heavy rain, covering the heads of the panicked Xiliang soldiers.

I was just smoky and burned, and I just ran out and was baptized by arrow rain. I heard the thunder of the Central Government Army roaring: "Don't kill if you disarm! Don't kill if you disarm!"

The more than 40,000 thieves who had recently been dependent on Niu Fu were frightened and knew that they could no longer hang out with Niu Fu. They put down their weapons and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Jia Xu hurriedly said to Niu Fu: "General, Lu Bu is powerful and cannot do anything. It is better to rush out of the city and return to Jiguan to wait for the prime minister's reinforcements!"

Niu Fu was furious and swung his big sword and slashed at Jia Xu: "It was you, a corrupt scholar, that I was trapped repeatedly, so I'll die!"

Jia Xu had nothing to say, his heart was ashamed, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.

At this moment, a strong arrow wind blew through his ears, and with a loud bang on the ground, Niu Fu's big sword was shot by a black feather arrow, and it struck Jia Xu's cheek and swept it into the air.

Niu Fu's souls were all exposed, and the black arrow feather shot his big sword, which made him numb, so he hung his big sword to escape. At the same time, four black arrow feathers were flying towards him. He quickly leaned down, mobilized the horses, avoided the pearl arrows, and no longer cared about killing Jia Xu.

Niu Fu did not dare to raise his head, so he lay tightly on the saddle, turned his head and rushed towards the west gate. Because he was eager to survive, he fought a bloody path under the protection of his personal soldiers and ran towards Jiguan.

Jia Xu looked up at Lu Bu who was putting the arrows back in the distance, and was not grateful at all. He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Bu, then turned his horse's head again, followed Niu Fu, rushed out of the west gate, and headed towards Jiguan.

Lu Bu was stunned. Niu Fu was about to kill him just now, but he saved him. Unexpectedly, he not only did not surrender himself, but continued to follow Niu Fu. Is Jia Xu's brain ill?

Xu Huangce stepped forward and snorted coldly: "Lord, this Jia Wenhe is ungrateful. Do you want me to chase him and kill him?"

Lu Bu waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about Gongming, you will have someone to capture him! Gongming, you go and chase Niu Fu, don't hurt his life!"

Lu Bu and Xu Huang together led the cavalry, chasing Niu Fu, Jia Xu and others.

Huang Zhong governor all the infantry and pacified all the enemy soldiers in the city. The newly dependent bandits of Niu Fu saw Niu Fu abandon the city and fled. The soldiers had no desire to fight and could not withstand the attacks of the central army's crossbows, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

More than two thousand Western Liang cavalrymen protected Niu Fu, Jia Xu and others, and kept running to Jiguan.

More than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Central Army followed closely behind.

An hour later, these Xiliang cavalrymen were trapped and were exhausted. Looking at the distance, the Central Army cavalry behind seemed to have not caught up. They strongly asked to stop and take a breath. Niu Fu knew that these subordinates were all arrogant soldiers and if he disobeyed their wishes, he would probably cause a mutiny immediately, so he had to agree.

Niu Fu turned his head and looked at the place where they stopped their horses and rested. It was the only way to get from Henei City to Jiguan. He was in a ditch between two mountains and one ditch. He laughed and said, "Lu Bu is still too young and has no experience. If he had been lying on these elite soldiers, how could we have our lives?!"

Jia Xu said sadly: "General, don't you think this valley is too quiet?"

When Niu Fu heard what Jia Xu said, he heard it. Sure enough, except for the neighing of the Xiliang horses and the hustle and bustle of the Xiliang soldiers, there was no bird singing or insect crying in the entire valley, and there was no dead silent.

Niu Fu shouted shrillly: "No, there is an ambush!"

As soon as Niu Fu finished speaking, thousands of Central Army crossbowmen emerged from the hillsides on both sides. They were all wearing grass rings and covered with grass. They were lying on the bushes and could not be seen. Moreover, Niu Fu's more than two thousand Western Liang soldiers fled in a panic and had no consciousness to send scouts to explore the way, so they were successfully ambushed by the Central Army.

The Central Army's crossbowmen were like arrows falling like rain. The two thousand Xiliang soldiers were all cavalrymen. The tall horses became living targets that could be shot without aiming. Either the person died or the horse died. With the cry of the horses, the two thousand Xiliang soldiers were left with only more than a thousand after a rain of arrows.

Niu Fu took the lead and rushed forward, hoping to pass through this death ambush circle, but he heard a loud rumbling sound in the valley ahead, and the big rocks rolling down the mountain blocked the way. Niu Fu had to turn around, hoping to escape to death by the way he came.

Niu Fu saw in despair that a blood-colored flag had already floated on the way to come, with the big "General Lu of the North" written on it. Under the banner, riding a dragon horse and a red rabbit carrying a square sky painting halberd was the General Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian. Aside him, the one who was riding a Hualiu horse and carrying a mountain-opening axe was Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, the general under Lu Bu, who was both wise and brave.

Behind Lu Bu and Xu Huang were more than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Central Army, blocking the escape route of Niu Fu, the more than 1,000 cavalrymen.

After Lu Bu appeared, Zhang He on the mountain ordered his crossbowmen to stop shooting, Zhang bowed and targeted Niu Fu and others. If they had anything to dissatisfied with the lord Lu Bu, these arrows would still fall on them.

Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji, pointed at Niu Fu, and laughed: "You are at the end of your journey, why don't you get off the horse quickly and surrender?"

Niu Fu's face looked like earth, and he asked in a trembling voice: "If I disarm, can you spare my life?"

Lu Bulang laughed loudly and said, "Niu Fu, have you ever met Dong Min and Dong Huang recently?"

Niu Fu immediately understood what Lu Bu meant. It turned out that he wanted to use himself to threaten his father-in-law. He quickly shook his head and said, "General Lu, I am just a son-in-law, not just Dong Min and Dong Huang, but my father-in-law's close relatives. If the general wants to trade me and his father-in-law, he may be disappointed!"

When Lu Bu heard Niu Fu say this, he was also suspicious. Will Dong Zhuo give him war horses and military rations for his stupid son-in-law? If Dong Zhuo did not do this business, he would not have to keep Niu Fu as a waste, and he could not help but have murderous aura in his eyes.

Jia Xu was beside Niu Fu, and saw the change in Lu Bu's eyes keenly, and quickly shouted loudly: "General Lu, Niu Fu cannot be killed!"
