The rushing chariots knocked on the city gate one after another, making a sound as if Xiaopei City was screaming in pain. The archers on the well railings continued to shoot arrows in their hands at the defenders on the city tower. Look.
The city gate was hit again and again, and as he watched the soldiers under his command fell one after another after being hit by arrows, Lu Bu's right hand holding Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly was trembling slightly because of the anger in his heart.
Although Lu Bu has a headstrong and arrogant character, he is not a stupid person. He sees the current situation very clearly. If those damn car rushers are allowed to continue to attack the city arrogantly, then the city of Xiaopei will be in danger
, it wouldn't last long before it would be broken by Cao's army.
"Give me a thousand men and I will leave the city!" Lu Bu shouted to the lieutenant behind him.
"Lord!"
"Junhou!"
After hearing Lu Bu's decision, before the general could react, Song Xian and Chen Dao on the side exclaimed at the same time.
Song Xian has been following Lu Bu for a long time, and Chen Dao is a thoughtful person. Both of them have guessed why Lu Bu wants to leave the city. Lu Bu's purpose is nothing more than to destroy Cao's army's siege equipment so that it can't be done so easily.
The ground poses a threat to Xiaopei's city defense.
But the risk involved is too great! It should be noted that the number of defenders in Xiaopei City is originally small. If Lu Bu wants to go out of the city to destroy Cao Jun's siege equipment, he must not bring too many soldiers and horses. But Cao Jun outside the city
It is so densely packed that leaving the city with a few soldiers and horses is tantamount to suicide!
Besides, Cao Jun is in a hurry to attack the city at this time. Can the city gate be opened? I am afraid that as soon as the gate is opened, Cao Jun from outside the city will swarm into the city.
"Lord, no!" Song Xian urged, "If Xiaopei really can't defend it, we'll just go straight to Xiapi when the worst comes to worst. Why does my lord have to venture into danger? Although my lord is brave and invincible in the world, there's nothing we can do."
There are 50,000 Cao soldiers outside the city. If my lord makes a mistake, I will regret it!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was silent. Although Song Xian's words were reasonable, Lu Bu really felt aggrieved. Cao Jun launched fierce attacks one after another, and his army's casualties became more and more serious, but he could only look like a head.
Hiding in the city like a tortoise, unable to fight back, how could Lu Bu, who was so proud and proud, swallow his breath?
"Your Majesty, General Song's words are reasonable. This is not a good opportunity to go out of the city to fight." Chen Dao also advised at the side, "What's more, Cao's army is attacking the city without stopping. If the city gate is opened at this time, it may cause chaos.
The consequences of redemption."
Chen Dao's status is no better than that of Song Xian. Song Xian is a veteran general under Lu Bu's account. Although Lu Bu himself has a violent temper, he is also very nostalgic and treats old generals such as Song Xian and Wei Xu as brothers. Therefore, they and Lu Bu
It doesn't matter if his tone of voice is casual when speaking. But Chen Dao is different. Although he is not Lu Bu's subordinate, he must always show a respectful attitude in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu has a moody character, and the slightest wording may be inappropriate in front of him.
To offend him, Chen Dao has a strict character. Although he despises Lu Bu, a brave man who has no plans, at least he is not in a position to conflict with him because of the gains and losses of words.
"According to what Uncle Zhi said, can we just watch Cao's army destroy the city?" Lu Bu said through gritted teeth, obviously hating the siege equipment outside the city to the extreme.
At the same time, Lu Bu also had a strange thought in his mind: "If I had these siege equipment back then, I would have captured the entire Yanzhou long ago..."
Envy, jealousy, hatred, mixed emotions...
"The only solution now is to hold on... Maybe we can hold on until night, and there may be a slight improvement..." Facing Lu Bu's question, Chen Dao could only answer like this. His tone was full of helplessness, and it was obvious that there was a slight improvement.
So, it was just something he randomly pulled out to comfort Lu Bu.
It's just that the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.
"At night?"
Lu Bu recalled his experience when he attacked Dongjun City. That time he had the absolute upper hand. Seeing that the city was just around the corner, he never thought that due to his negligence at night, he would be severely beaten by the hateful General Cao with hundreds of soldiers and horses.
The camp was robbed once, so that morale was greatly reduced, and ultimately the success failed.
Now it seems that that night attack might have been a turning point in the entire offensive and defensive battle of Dongjun City. The more Lu Bu thought about it, the angrier he became.
After walking away, why can't I treat others in the same way as others?
It was disrespectful to come and go, so Lu Bu made up his mind to go to Cao Ying after nightfall to have a good fight in order to avenge that day. The plan was decided, Lu Bu only felt excited, and even began to dream about Cao Ying at night.
Cao Cao looked panicked when he was thrown into a ball.
However, Lu Bu never thought deeply. If Cao Cao was as careless as himself, would he still be Cao Cao?
————————————————————————————————Although Cao’s army has a large number of people and has deployed a large number of rams and manhole barriers to attack
However, under the strict defense of Lu Bu's army, Cao's army finally failed to break through Xiaopei's city wall on the first day. After leaving nearly three thousand corpses, Cao's army finally retreated.
The situation in Xiaopei City is even worse. According to specific statistics, 3,410 of the 8,000 defenders were killed in the battle, 915 were seriously injured and could no longer fight, and only a pitiful number of soldiers were left to fight.
More than 3,600 people. If Cao Jun's offensive is still so fierce tomorrow, Lu Bu knows that Xiaopei City will definitely not be able to defend it.
"I want to take advantage of the night to destroy Cao's army's siege equipment. What do you think?" In the meeting hall, Lu Bu looked around the generals and asked.
Although he opened his mouth to inquire, Lu Bu's tone was decisive, indicating his determination to go out of the city and fight.
Chen Gong opened his mouth and wanted to persuade, but in the end he still didn't say a word. Lu Bu had already made a decision, and he would never change it. Even if he told him that Cao Cao would be well guarded due to his character, he would still tell him.
He dismissed it with disdain. Furthermore, the current situation is indeed not optimistic. If nothing unexpected happens, the city will be defeated tomorrow. Although there is still Xiapi where they can retreat, Cao's army will stop abruptly after capturing Xiaopei.
What? When the troops arrive at Xiapi City, Liu Bei will still be unable to defend it.
Now we can only hope that Lu Bu's trip out of the city will really bring some surprises to Cao Jun. This is a true portrayal of Chen Gong's helpless heart.
"...Lord, take care!" After thousands of thoughts, only these four words came out of Chen Gong's mouth.
From these simple and heavy words, Lu Bu could feel Chen Gong's sincere concern for him. He nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, sir, don't worry, everyone, I hereby guarantee that,
I will definitely destroy all of Cao Cao’s rags, and then escape unscathed and return safely! Lu Bu is a man of promises, and since he has spoken out, he will definitely do it!"
"Mount your horse! Get out of the city!" Lu Bu led Song Xian, Wei Xu and a thousand people ready to go. Under the gaze of Chen Dao, Chen Gong and others, Lu Bu gradually moved away...
