Chapter 359 Huang Zhong fights Lu Bu

Early the next morning.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Huang Zhong joined forces and surrounded Xiapi.

Surrounded by three and one missing, all the armies were watching eagerly, ready to attack the city at any time.

"Who dares to fight!?"

Before the imperial troops could surround and launch an attack, Lu Bu went out of the city first, riding a tall horse and holding a halberd, looking at Cao Cao's camp from a distance, observing everything.

Lu Bu suddenly left the city to fight, which caused a silence in the army camp.

Lu Bu, so strong!

It's so strong that even the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang can't fight it together!

Sun Ce couldn't beat him. Looking at the arrogant Lu Bu, he raised his hand to Cao Cao and said loudly: "General Cao, it's now time. Why fight with generals anymore? The last general asks for orders to attack!"

Cao Cao remained expressionless for a moment, then said, "What do you think, Duke Xuande?"

Liu Bei was slightly embarrassed. After all, the last time the three brothers fought against Lu Bu was not glorious. He hesitated and said: "General Cao, I also think that we should attack by force. The weather is getting colder, so it is not advisable to delay it any longer."

As if to confirm Liu Bei's words, a cold wind passed by at this time, and almost everyone couldn't help shivering. The soldiers behind them subconsciously wrapped their clothes tightly, and some soldiers even dropped their weapons.

Cao Cao heard it, but seemed not to hear it. He stared at Xiapi Ximen and said nothing for a long time.

Dong Zhuo in Xiapi City has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, with no food and supplies, and a cold winter is coming. He just attacks with force, regardless of victory or defeat. How long can their army of nearly 100,000 people hold out?

"You are all cowards!"

Lu Bu rode his horse back and forth, shouting in the direction of Cao Cao, "Does anyone dare to fight!? Not one person, but three people can do it!"

When the words came, no matter how deep the city was, Cao Cao and others could not help but become angry at this moment.

Even though they were like this, the soldiers behind them all turned their attention to Cao Cao and others.

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Guan Yu and others all felt it and couldn't help but look over.

Allowing Lu Bu to be so arrogant would have a huge impact on their military morale!

"I come!"

In the silence, Huang Zhong suddenly stepped out of the queue, holding a sword in his hand, with piercing eyes, a face like steel, and an aura on his body.

When Cao Cao saw Huang Zhong's soldiers leading the horses, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "General Huang Zhonglang, Lu Bu is extremely brave. Don't go lightly. Let's attack by force."

If Huang Zhong loses, the blow will be even greater.

"No need."

Huang Zhong's tone was calm, without any trace of nervousness.

He got on his horse and galloped away under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Huang Zhong's actions were too fast. Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others had already gone far before they had time to persuade him.

Huang Zhong was not a member of the group that challenged Dong this time, and he gave them food, grass, and winter clothes, so Cao Cao was extra "courteous" to him.

Everyone was on tenterhooks as they watched Huang Zhong kill Lu Bu.

"General Cao, do you want to respond?" Sun Ce turned to Cao Cao and asked.

Liu Bei also looked over, looking a little serious, and said: "General Cao, if General Huang Zhonglang is defeated, we must attack him by force."

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others also looked over, waiting for Cao Cao's order.

As long as Cao Cao gives the order, they will launch a massive attack on the four gates of Xiapi.

But Cao Cao had more to consider. Xiapi was not small. With Dong Zhuo's management and 70,000 to 80,000 troops, how could it be so easy to capture it?

If a strong attack fails and the attack and defense change, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Lu Bu, Huang Zhong from Nanyang is here!"

Huang Zhong held a big sword and rushed towards Lu Bu.

Dong dong dong

Suddenly, the war drums of both sides were thunderous, roaring, shaking the heaven and the earth.

"Unknown rat!"

Lu Bu's halberd flew across the sky, without any fanfare, and struck directly at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong did not dodge, he waved his sword and faced him.

When~

Swords and halberds clashed, and a harsh golden sound exploded.

Lu Bu's eyes opened angrily, and he felt pain in the tiger's mouth and his arms were numb.

"Okay! Come again!" Lu Bu never expected that Huang Zhong, who appeared out of nowhere, could actually fight with him head-on.

Although Huang Zhong knew about the rumors of Lu Bu's bravery, he didn't expect that he was so powerful that he actually took a full blow from him.

"kill!"

Huang Zhong spoke concisely, holding a broadsword, and killed Lu Bu again.

Both of them have an understanding of each other's strength, and there is no carelessness. You come and go, the sword is dangerous, and the halberd is fatal.

The two sides were going back and forth, and the fight was inextricable. In a short time, there were more than twenty moves.

Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Li Jue and others who were watching from Xiapi City were dumbfounded and very surprised.

Lu Bu is a fierce general like no other, but he never thought that Huang Zhong, who was so humble and inconspicuous, would actually fight Lu Bu on a par with him!

Dong Zhuo's face gradually darkened, and his bulging belly rose and fell, obviously angry.

Li Ru stood on the edge, not daring to breathe.

Dong Zhuo has become more and more murderous recently, and he beats to death more than a dozen servants and maids every day in the mansion.

Li Jue didn't even dare to do it. The people around Dong Zhuo were dying one by one, and the officers and soldiers were besieging the city. Who dared to offend Dong Zhuo?

Dong Zhuo's old face was hard and his eyes were slightly blood red.

It's not because of anger, but because of excessive indulgence recently.

But seeing that Lu Bu could not defeat Huang Zhong, he was angry, but still felt angry.

The army camp on the other side, after the initial dullness, suddenly broke out into shouts.

Some low-level soldiers and officials raised their weapons and shouted in support.

No one thought that the humble Huang Zhong could be so brave and fight like this with the invincible Lu Bu.

Cao Cao's stiff face slowly relaxed and he smiled, laughing loudly: "General Huang Zhonglang is mighty!"

Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others also slowly relaxed their anxious hearts, and responded with smiles on their faces: "General Huang Zhonglang is mighty."

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others also smiled slightly, and the weapons they clenched in their hands slowly relaxed.

On the contrary, it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei whose face was not that good-looking. Zhang Fei was purely angry, while Guan Yu's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

On the battlefield, the fight between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu became more and more intense. The two seemed to be angry and fought desperately, shouting and killing in waves.

The jaws of the two men had long since split open, their swords and halberds were dripping with blood, and their horses were tired, but they were still charging back and forth, as if they were fighting to the death.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was in a battle, and the sound of the war drum was stronger than the sound, and it continued continuously, beating every heart.

Cao Cao's eyes burned, he drew his sword fiercely, and shouted: "Attack the city!"

With an order, the messengers rushed out with flags.

Not long after, war drums sounded from all directions, and the troops that had been prepared swarmed forward.

Seeing this, Lu Bu shouted: "I will spare your life today!"

He drove Huang Zhong away with a blow of his halberd, turned around and entered the city.

Huang Zhong chased for a few steps, but was persuaded to retreat by the bows and arrows on the tower.

"kill!"

Sun Ce led his army towards Xiapi City.

The siege begins.

Sun Ce, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Guan Yu and others supervised the army and attacked the four gates. They used the most violent and complete means from the beginning.

Trebuchets were flying all over the sky, and arrows were like rain, covering the four gates of the city.

Facing the powerful offensive of the official army, Dong Jun in Xiapili quickly calmed down after a short period of panic, and soldiers went to the city one by one to defend the city with all their strength.

Lu Bu, Li Jue, Niu Fu and others who had just woken up were all on the tower, shouting and drinking.

The officers and soldiers from all walks of life below the city tower rushed forward desperately, and the door hammers bombarded the four doors one after another.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others came to the front line in person to supervise the attack on the city.

"Hey, what a stupid idea."

On the hilltop not far away, Huangfu Jian looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.

　I wish everyone good health, happiness and prosperity in 2024.

　　I took two days off and will resume updating tomorrow.
