Looking at Chen Gong who had retreated and his military morale had dropped to a low point, he actually felt that there was no hope of conquering Puyang.
But Lu Bu's furious look made Chen Gong and others dare not speak easily. At this time, no one dared to touch Lu Bu's reverse scales.
It was in this extremely anxious situation that Wei Xu and Song Xian came back with Hou Cheng's dilapidated body...
"Hou Cheng did not lose his dignity as a warrior even if he died. It's just a pity that he didn't have a weapon in his hand at the time, otherwise he could have at least used a backer..." Song Xian and Wei Xu said in extremely sad voices.
The three of them have the best relationship on weekdays and can be called an iron triangle.
Now that one corner of the iron triangle is missing, the other two will inevitably die in grief.
Lu Bu raised the flag covering Hou Cheng's body. Looking at the scars all over Hou Cheng's body and the fist-sized hole on his left chest, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, Lu Yan!"
Lu Yan: "?"
Before Lu Bu's roar subsided, Hao Meng was in a state of embarrassment and rushed over, rolling and crawling.
"Marquis Wen, Marquis Wen... Cao Xing and I ambush Cao Jun, but Cao Jun saw through it and launched a counter-ambush... Our army was defeated!"
Lu Bu's body stiffened, then he looked at Hao Meng's empty back and asked, "Where is Cao Xingren?"
"Cao Xing...Cao Xing wanted to sneak attack Zhao Yun, but he was killed by Zhao Yun's reflection!" Hao Meng told the tragic situation at that time, banged his head on the ground, and cried miserably.
"Creak...!" Lu Bu's clenched fist made a crunching sound.
After successive defeats, coupled with the siege battle that made no progress, the anger in Lu Bu's chest was about to burst out!
"Ah!!!" Finally, Lu Bu, who couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed, "Despicable and shameless Lu Yan, I, Lu Bu, swear to kill you!"
Lu Yan: "???"
Of the 20,000-strong army, nearly 5,000 have been killed and wounded in battle.
It is almost a fantasy to think that with less than 15,000 soldiers, we can break through Puyang City, which is garrisoned by at least 8,000 regular troops and countless civilians!
what to do?
This is the question currently facing Lu Bu and his subordinates.
Should we continue to attack Puyang regardless of sacrifice, or should we simply...just...no one dares to ask this question.
Puyang City, in the Tian family mansion.
The head of the Tian family, who was frightened by Man Chong, personally led Cao Jun led by Man Chong to the woodshed in his backyard.
They walked from the front hall to the backyard to the woodshed for a full quarter of an hour, "Damn the tycoon... this house is too big!"
"General, Lu Bu's family is here!" the head of the Tian family said, pointing to the dilapidated woodshed.
The door of the woodshed was closed tightly, and there was no movement inside. However, Man Chong did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he called on the soldiers holding shields to form a shield wall and slowly approached.
Sure enough, the facts proved that Man Chong's caution was correct!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Just when the shield soldiers were more than ten steps away from the woodshed, several sleeve arrows suddenly shot out from the woodshed!
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" The short arrow body of the sleeve arrow hit the shield, and then was bounced away by the shield.
"Charge!" Since the other party can no longer hold back and attack, let's go for it!
After being ordered by Man Chong, the shield soldiers suddenly started to accelerate together with their shields on their backs!
"Bang!!" There was a loud noise, and the door of the woodshed was blown open by the shield!
The light in the woodshed was very dim. Before the soldiers who rushed into the woodshed could see their surroundings clearly, a scolding sound suddenly came from them: "Thief, take my halberd!"
"Crack!!"
A huge force struck, and the shield soldier who rushed into the woodshed first felt a huge force coming from the shield in his hand before he could see who was attacking him!
"Oh!"
There was a scream, and the shields in the hands of the shield-bearing infantry were shattered into pieces, and their bodies were blown away by the powerful force!
Man Chong outside was shocked and thought to himself: "There are still strong generals guarding Lu Bu's family?"
Immediately, Man Chong seemed to have thought of something, suddenly turned his head and stared at Tian and asked: "You dare to trick me?!"
The head of the Tian family was really shocked when he saw Sergeant Cao's soldiers flying out, "There are obviously women and children in there..."
Now seeing that Man Chong thought he was planning to ambush him, Tian was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Grandpa, please forgive me, this is really not my plan!
I don’t know why there are strong generals there..."
"Thief Cao, if you have the ability to come at me and bully an unarmed old man, what kind of hero do you think you are?"
This shout made Cao Jun and the head of the Tian family stunned. "Why is it a woman's voice?" Man Chong stared blankly at the dark woodshed.
As the voice came out, a tall, beautiful and heroic woman holding a halberd strode out!
"Who dares to fight with me?!" The woman's halberd pierced the ground with a sound. Her appearance was extremely arrogant, and her aura was half as elegant as Lu Bu's!
If it’s not Lu Bu’s daughter Lu Lingqi, then who could it be?
Lu Lingqi saw Man Chong at a glance, so she pointed the halberd at Man Chong in advance and shouted: "General Cao, how dare you fight me for three hundred rounds!"
Man Chong looked at Lu Lingqi's posture and the soldiers lying on the ground groaning in pain, and thought: "You can see that the force is stronger than mine! It's better to avoid the edge for now!"
After hanging out with Lu Yan and Guo Jia for a long time, among other things, I must have learned a lot about how to save one's life.
When it's time to give in to someone who is obviously unbeatable, you have to learn to give in...
Thinking of this, Man Chong stepped back and shouted: "Dunjia soldiers, surround and kill!"
"Despicable! Shameless!!!"
Lu Lingqi didn't expect that the other party would ignore her call, and would attack her as soon as they came up, which made her very angry!
Man Chong didn't want to kill them, as this would only create a deadly feud with Lu Bu, and capturing Lu Bu's family members alive would have greater use value.
"Are all Cao's troops useless?"
After defeating more than a dozen Cao Jun's armored soldiers with three strikes, five strikes and two strikes, Lu Lingqi's self-confidence suddenly exploded when she saw that the other generals did not dare to challenge them.
"In my opinion, even your Zhao Yun, who is known as the most powerful general in Cao Ying, can only compete with my father by relying on Guan Zhang!"
Man Chong was too lazy to pay attention to the film of this little girl with huge self-confidence,
He just waved his hand again and ordered: "The shield soldiers continue to advance, the archers are on standby!"
Although there are many benefits to capturing Lu Bu's family members alive, if the other party persists in resisting, I'm afraid I will have to take ruthless measures!
When Lu Lingqi saw that the other party was about to shoot an arrow, she suddenly became anxious.
Even though she had acquired a few points of Lu Bu's true inheritance and her martial arts had reached a first-rate level, she could not guarantee that she would not be injured when faced with dense arrows.
Besides, there is a real mother and a baby mother in the woodshed, but Liu Ya doesn’t have eyes!
"General, wait a minute!!"
Just when Lu Lingqi was in a dilemma and Man Chong was about to wave down her raised hand, another woman's voice sounded in the woodshed.
Different from Lu Lingqi’s heroic voice,
This female voice is full of female charm and a kind of indifference that sees through the world of mortals.
"Stop!" Man Chong guessed the identity of the person as soon as he heard the voice. He shouted loudly to the woodshed: "But the righteous man who serially planned to kill Dong Zhuo, Diao Chan?"
"It's just a cheap name, why should we have weird teeth... Now we are trapped in a tight siege, and we hope the general can let us live."
"Don't worry, my husband has told me that things on the battlefield should not affect my wife and children." Man Chong's words made Lu Bu's family members, including Lu Lingqi, breathe a sigh of relief, "But I can't let you go..."
"Diao Chan understands, but we will never become pawns to coerce Marquis Wen!"
This sentence was said very firmly, just like when she decided to sacrifice her life to serve the wolf!
