Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

In the simply furnished hall, the sound of slamming the table echoed in the ears, and the candlelight shook violently, reflecting the face with inverted eyebrows.

"Wishful thinking! I will never join forces with this guy!"

"General..." Qiao Lie hesitated with a look on his face, slowly clasping his fists and handing over his hands: "Actually, there is no need to form an alliance with him. Let's coax this person first, and wait until he lets go. Then we can take advantage of the situation. The strategy of destroying Guo by false means, when the time comes..."

"Don't say it anymore. I just want Gao Yongchang to die this time." He waved his arm to turn on the candle, and the shadow on the ground swayed: "Don't think about destroying Guo in a false way."

"But..." Qiao Lie was speechless and hesitated for a while before speaking: "Pinzhou is close to Liaoyang Mansion. Once there is any action, Liaoyang Mansion will know about it and lose the possibility of a surprise attack. Then..."

"So what if it's a head-on conflict?"

The voice was a little loud for a moment, and Yu Cheng and other guards outside took a step forward to get further away from the hall. The Taoist who was interrupted in the hall stood there, and Lu Bu's words came to his ears: "We came here to Liaodong for this reason. Looking for a place to fight, if we use tricks at the beginning, how will we face a big country like Liao in the future? Even if we are waiting here to attack dozens of military states, it will not break our bones in the end. "

The majestic body stood up, walked over and patted the Taoist on the shoulder: "It's a good idea for you to have this idea. If it were...before, I would not have done what you said, but I can't do it now."

With a slight squeeze of the hand on his shoulder, he repeated: "...can't do it now."

The young Taoist was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

The conversation stopped. Soon, the closed hall door creaked open. Qiao Lie, who was wearing a Taoist robe, held his hands and stepped out of the door. Behind him, Lu Bu looked at the advancing figure and exhaled: "Yu Cheng!"

The burly guard turned around and handed over his hand: "Yes."

"Go with Qiao Lie, cut off the head of the envoy Gao Yongchang, and send it back to him."

"Yes!"

Yu Cheng lowered his head and then walked towards Qiao Lie beside him. The Taoist sighed with relief: "Let's go and send him on his way."

The two of them turned around and headed out against the wind, leaving Lu Bu standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking up at the distant sky.

The clouds swallowed up the last trace of sunset red.

……

Shenzhou.

Gao Yongchang commanded 10,000 troops and Yelu Yu saw 15,000 troops gathered at Lejiao City. After repeated attempts to persuade him to surrender were in vain, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty became angry and immediately launched an army to attack fiercely. They fought from noon until sunset, under the black night sky. The torches were lit, and the light of the flames complemented the stars in the sky, and black smoke pillars were rising.

The earth burned, arrows fell across the sky, and kept knocking the fighting figures to the ground. The burning fire arrows were nailed to the blood-soaked ground, and the big feet wearing combat boots ran over, and the flames shook for a while, and stepped on On the vertical wooden ladder, a strong figure climbed up, slashed with a sword, and the shield made a banging sound. The Liao soldiers gritted their teeth and opened the weapon in front of the shield. More comrades rushed over, and the Liao soldiers armed with long spears and sharp blades The soldier shouted, several weapons fell on the person, blood spattered, the screams dropped from high to low, and the figure fell.

This is just a corner of the battlefield. The view is raised, rising to the sky and overlooking the city below. Lejiao City, which is located in the wilderness, is surrounded by the army of the Yuan Dynasty. Ladders are erected on all sides of the city wall. People are constantly climbing up, shouting to fight. Floating in the sky above the city, from the initial suppression of arrows to the subsequent close combat, the distance stretching for several miles on all sides was seen back and forth under the organization of their respective generals. From time to time, someone fell under the city or was killed at the top of the city, and blood was spilled. In every corner outside the city wall.

On the top of the city, Yelu Yu saw his own body and rushed forward with a stone. He roared "Ah——" and slashed with his sword. He knocked a Liao army guard to the ground and stepped across the wall. Hundreds of guards below him , all roared, and climbed up from the wooden ladders on both sides. "Don't let him stand still, kill——"

Shouts and footsteps sounded on the battlefield almost at the same time. The defenders on the city wall followed the shouts and charged towards Yelu Yujian. They held their shields with ferocious faces, waved their long and short swords and screamed, and violently collided with the guards who climbed up the city wall. , Qianlin, who followed closely, stabbed with all his strength.

The battlefield was filled with the sounds of weapons being swung and people screaming. Yelu Yu saw him struggling to move forward. The hard armor was covered with white scratches. Someone had torn the shoulder armor with a spear, and red blood flowed down his arms. It flows, occasionally dripping onto the stone bricks of the city wall, and is trampled by people in an instant.

He fiercely chopped down the defenders in front of him to the ground. The sword forged by famous experts had several gaps. When Yelu Yu saw that Fang was about to attack again, a guard behind him shouted: "Du Tong, Du Tong - the Bohai people have retreated." ! The Bohai people retreated!"

"what?!"

boom--

Yeluyu saw that he was distracted and was struck in the chest with a knife. He involuntarily took two steps back under the huge force. Fortunately, his armor was strong and not damaged, except for another white mark.

Seeing that things were not going well, the guards at the back quickly stepped forward to stop them. Yelu Yudu took a breath and asked, "What did you say?"

"The Bohai people retreated!"

Amid the roar, the former commander of the East Road of Liao Kingdom looked back in disbelief, only to see the soldiers and horses under the banner of the Yuan Dynasty retreating, with dots of torches twisting and swimming backwards like long snakes.

"Damn it! Even if Gao retreats, he won't be rewarded!"

Before he could think about it carefully, Yelu Yujian shouted: "Back off——"

Several peripheral soldiers suddenly shouted loudly, and fiercely attacked forward with knives and guns. The defenders' offensive suddenly stalled. Yelu Yujian turned around and retreated towards the city wall under the cover of his guards.

"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows! Don't let Yelu Yujian escape!"

The roar on top of the city was like thunder, and black shadows flew up into the air and fell down with a whooshing sound. Yeluyu saw the cat bending his waist, retreating desperately under the protection of two shields, and finally being hit by arrows all the way. Farewell" to exit the range.

The torch was raised, and the flickering light shone on Yelu's mottled iron armor. Soldiers were binding his wounds. The Khitan man looked at the brightly lit Chinese military commander's flag, and his chest rose and fell sharply twice. Stomping his feet: "Damn it, that guy Gao Yongchang just wants to kill me so that he can annex my son."

"Du Tong..."

Several soldiers around him looked at him hesitantly. Yeluyu waved his hand: "Let's go back with me. Whoever wants to attack this city can attack!"

Some soldiers brought the war horse. The figure with his shoulders wrapped in white cloth got on the horse and shouted: "Let's go! It will be too late by the time Gao Yongchang reacts."

All the guards obeyed the order and mounted their horses. The whips were whipped, and the sound of hooves hit the ground. The guards carrying the banner of Yelu followed closely behind the figure in front.

After a while, a fast horse galloped over here. (End of chapter)
