Gao Shun's determination to attack the city far exceeded Guan Yu's expectations, and his strength and willpower in the trapped camp also surprised Guan Yu.
It had been a whole day, and the enemy's impact was still as strong as before, showing no sign of decline. This was absolutely impossible in any battle, especially a siege.
One surge of energy will make you weak, and the next three will be exhausted.
Almost all armies will experience a decline in combat effectiveness after exhaustion. However, in front of this army, Guan Yu only felt the determination and courage to move forward, as if these people had already been determined to die and fought as if they were desperate for their lives.
"Come here, take my general order and go to the other three gates to mobilize three hundred people from each of them!"
After thinking about it, Guan Yu seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he added another sentence:
"Assemble their archers as well. One more person will bring more strength!"
"only!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
A new round of fighting is about to begin, and this night is destined to be uneventful.
...
...
It wasn't just Guan Yu who was worried, Lin Zhe also had a faint sad look on his face.
Although he and Lu Lingqi had escaped from Xiapi, the journey to Xiaopei was not smooth. Lu Bu's patrolling troops were everywhere, and they were almost caught by scouts several times.
If Lu Lingqi hadn't been very skilled in martial arts and pushed him all the way, and because of his identity, the scout didn't dare to hurt anyone easily, I'm afraid the two of them would have been tied up in front of Lu Bu by now.
"Husband, what should we do now?"
Lin Zhe sat on the horse with his hands around Lu Lingqi's waist, and was slowly sorting out the current situation in his mind.
Judging from the known situation, Xiaopei City has probably accumulated a large number of troops and is currently at the center of the war. If he insists on going to Xiaopei, he will probably end up being caught in the end.
He had now arrived at the place he had agreed upon with Jian Yong, but he did not see anyone. He probably encountered something unexpected, so he did not wait for him, but left first.
When I got married, my lord did not come to Xiapi, which proved that Zhao Wu and my lord must have successfully reunited, and they are probably facing the same dilemma as me now.
And compared to themselves, their goals are bigger. They may have already fought against the enemy, and maybe they are currently avoiding the enemy's pursuit.
Yuan Shu is in the southwest. With the layout of Chen Palace this time, it is impossible not to send troops to guard against Yuan Shu, so the lord will most likely not go to the southwest.
Forced into desperation, they will most likely flee to the northwest.
So what should I do next?
Are you avoiding risks and following the footsteps of your lord to the northwest?
Or risk being discovered and continue to Xiaopei?
Lin Zhe was caught in a dilemma...
One step is slow, each step is slow. After losing Xia Pi, you can only be controlled by others everywhere.
In fact, he has another choice, which is -
Attack Xiapi!
Lu Bu's surprise attack on Xiaopei this time probably took away almost all the power of Xiapi City. In other words, Xiapi City is now an empty shell!
If he had an army in hand and combined with the back-up force left in the city, Xiapi City could be easily recovered.
Based on the Arrancar, Chen Gong probably wouldn't have thought of this variable.
When planning in advance, Chen Gong's strategy is first-rate. However, once the situation changes, he may be unable to resist, and the entire situation can be revitalized.
only...
Where can I get an army myself?
"General, there is someone in front!"
"alert!"
"Be on alert quickly!"
Before Lin Zhe could figure out what he was going to do, he heard a noise not far away.
Have you been discovered again?
"Husband, please sit still, Lingqi will take you out!"
Lu Lingqi held the horse's reins with her left hand and the red stick with her right hand. She slowly lowered her body and pressed down the tip of the stick with her right hand, a standard charging posture.
"General, he is a military advisor!"
"Um?!"
"It's really Xian Yun!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zhe quickly held Lu Lingqi's halberd-holding hand. This move also made the beauty in front of her blush.
Under the moonlight, Lin Zhe finally saw clearly the appearance of the people in front of him. This troop was Jian Yong and his party who he had arranged to meet him in advance.
Fortunately, they are not enemies!
"Did Xian Yun escape from Lu Bu?"
"This is......?"
Looking at Lu Lingqi on horseback, Jian Yong couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.
He naturally recognized Lu Lingqi. After entering the city, Lin Zhe used her to frighten Gao Shun on the city wall. Lin Zhe also personally handled the exchange of hostages.
But why do these two seem so close?
It's no wonder that Jian Yong was confused. He had been sleeping in the open air with these hundreds of soldiers these days, eating and lodging in the wild. Naturally, he didn't know about his subsequent marriage.
"This is...a lowly wife. I also knew Xianhe before!"
"Bitch?!"
"Um??"
"Lu Bu's daughter?!"
Seeing Jian Yong's eyes widening and trying to get to the bottom of it, Lin Zhe nodded and said, "It's a bit troublesome to talk about this matter, so I'll put it aside for now and explain it to Xianhe later!"
"By the way, how many troops and horses does Xianhe have now?!"
Just now, Lin Zhe was worrying about where he would get one, but now he has it!
It takes no effort at all!
Speaking of this, the light in Jian Yong's eyes couldn't help but dim, and then he sighed and said: "Yong originally brought a thousand soldiers and horses on this trip, but yesterday he met Hou Cheng, one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals. After the fight,
..."
"Only these five hundred brothers are left!"
Five hundred...
That’s enough!
Lin Zhe's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and then he said to Jian Yong: "Xianhe, there are fighting everywhere right now. Lu Bu must have sent out most of his troops, so Xiapi City must be empty!"
"You can take the remaining brothers and follow me to Xiapi. Once chaos breaks out in Xiapi City, the crisis between the lord and Xiaopei will be solved!"
"Only relying on our troops?!"
There was a hint of doubt on Jian Yong's face.
Lin Zhe said in a deep voice: "This is enough. There are reinforcements in Xiapi City. As long as you and I lead the troops there, and we work together internally and externally, we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
Jian Yong nodded. Since Lin Zhe had already made arrangements, he could rest assured.
Jian Yong followed Lin Zhe on horseback, and Jian Yong remained silent. In fact, he still had some doubts in his heart, but now that the situation was urgent, it was difficult to ask.
That is - since you have reinforcements in Xiapi City, why not just take the opportunity to seize the city? Why go to the trouble of leaving the city?
I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out!
Since he couldn't figure it out, Jian Yong simply stopped thinking about it. Frankly speaking, he couldn't see through the young man in front of him anymore.
...
...
As the time gradually passed into the second half of the night, the sky became increasingly gloomy, and the cold wind swirled and blew the fallen leaves in the woods, falling with the wind like withered butterflies.
Tap tap tap~
The sound of horse hooves started.
A group of people was galloping on the official road, and the young man leading it was Lin Zhe, who was planning to seize the opportunity to sneak attack Xiapi City!
However, just on the official road five miles away from Xiapi City, a troop suddenly appeared in front of them. When Lin Zhe saw the appearance of the person clearly, his face couldn't help but change, and he was instantly horrified, and then he suddenly tightened his horse's head.
The sudden emergency stop almost knocked Lin Zhe, who was not good at horsemanship, directly off the horse. Fortunately, with the help of Lu Lingqi, he was able to stabilize the red and brown horse under his legs in time.
However, when Lu Lingqi saw the person in front of her clearly, even though she had never been afraid, a trace of fear appeared on her face and she began to stutter her words.
