Reincarnation Showdown

Chapter 42 A gentle wave of the feather fan

On the other side, in Xiapi City, Lu Bu was taking Chen Gong to inspect the city gate tower.

"We have sufficient food and grass, and it will not be a problem to last for three years. Although the defensive equipment is a bit poor, Xiapi City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the city gate is not breached, Cao Jun will never be able to break through the city even if it is besieged for a year." Chen Gong Tell Lu Bu.

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have sent Gao Shun to guard the city gate, there will be no problems."

Then he looked in the direction of Cao Jun and asked, "Has the scout returned?"

"I'm back!" Chen Gong said, "According to reports from the spies, Lin Yuan has recruited a full 15 troops, and Cao Cao has brought over another 20 troops, a full [-] troops, and put Xiapi City to death. Surround them!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu's expression changed immediately.

A mere 20 people can beat him to [-]. Now that there are [-] people, Lin Yuan still can't go to heaven?

"How about surrendering?" Lu Bu felt tired and wanted to give up.

But Chen Gong immediately said: "My lord, don't worry, soldiers are more important than their numbers. It seems that Lin Yuan's troops have increased ten times, but in fact they are all newly recruited soldiers. The training and equipment cannot keep up. There is no How much fighting power. On the contrary, they have to consume a lot of food and grass every day, and they will definitely not be able to sustain it for long!"

Then, he talked about how strong Xiapi City is and how elite the remaining troops are.

All in all, it was just a trick to make Lu Bu feel that he could do it.

Keep fighting and fight to the death without surrender.

"But what if they forcibly attack the city?" Lu Bu was still a little worried.

"No, even though Lin Yuan is powerful, he has always been merciful and soft-hearted. He would not choose to attack by force. Even if Cao Cao wants to attack by force, he will probably persuade..." Chen Gong found that Lu Bu was not listening at all. .

Instead, he stared ahead.

There, Cao's army had already poured out, pushing siege equipment several feet high, and was attacking Xiapi City.

It is a kind of equipment that existed in this era, called "ladder", which is composed of wooden wheels and brackets, and is specially used for siege.After Liang Lu came, he carefully remodeled it, added iron sheets, and nearly doubled its size.

The height is not even lower than the towers of Xiapi City.

Also available disassembled for shipping.

Extremely convenient.

The only shortcoming was that it was too expensive. Even though Lin Yuan had the backing of Sanzhou, he only built six units. Now he has transferred four units over, which happen to face the four gates of Xiapi City.

"Lin Zhiyao, you can't help but attack?" Lu Bu shouted.

In response to this, Lin Yuan, who was on the ladder, shook his head and responded: "Don't get me wrong, I just came closer to persuade you to surrender. As for attacking the city, there is no need. In my eyes, Xiapi City is just a piece of paper. The city, with just a wave of the feather fan in your hand, it and you will be wiped out in an instant!"

These words made Chen Gong couldn't help laughing.

He said mockingly: "If that were true, you would have captured Xiapi City long ago. Can you still allow us to persist until now?"

However, Lin Yuan did not argue with him either.

Instead, he smiled and said: "The right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. There is only one kind of strong city in this world that cannot be broken, and that is the Great Wall of flesh and blood built by the desire of the people. Besides, the moat you dug deeply , Heightened city walls are just a joke.”

Following the sound, he raised his feather fan, waved it a few times in the air, and finally waved it in the direction of Xiapi City.

It seemed to convey some kind of instruction.

However, the army remained unmoved and just stood against each other outside the city gate.

This made Lu Bu and Chen Gong very puzzled.

"What the hell does he mean?"

"I heard that people will dance when they are hysterical. Could it be that Lin Yuan has too many troops under his command and is exhausted and crazy?" Lu Bu couldn't help but say.

It is really difficult to lead troops. He only brought tens of thousands of troops. When he looked in the mirror, he could clearly see how haggard he was.

For this reason, he quit drinking and devoted all his energy to military affairs.

"There must be a conspiracy, we must guard the city gate carefully today!" Chen Gong said.

Yes, Lin Yuan did have a conspiracy.

The waving of the feather fan was exactly the signal to send an attack - the reason why he went up the ladder was not to say a few words to Lu Bu, but to stand high enough to give orders to "Cheng Yu" in Xiapi City!
After receiving the order, Cheng Yu also acted quickly.

"Now the soldiers are divided into five groups, and three of them go to Hou Cheng, Song Xian and Wei Xu respectively to reveal their identities as the insiders of Cao Ying, and then..."

"The fourth route is to find Chen Deng and bring out the evidence that he embezzled Lu Bu's army salary..."

As for the fifth route, Cheng Yu didn't say anything.

The best way to keep it secret is to reduce the number of people who know about it—he personally mobilized the fifth group of troops, with the purpose of taking down the city gate at all costs.

In addition, besides these five routes, there is actually a "sixth route" that only Cheng Yu knows about.

That is Xu Chu.

Xu Chu sneaked into Xiapi City long before Lu Bu's defeat, and became Lu Bu's general through conscription.He was also dispatched by Chen Gong to collect intelligence on Cao Ying. In the process, using this identity, he easily captured several counties around Xiapi City.

Now, he has returned again, patrolling and searching for spies in the city under Chen Gong's orders.

On the street tonight, it is obvious that there are many more people wearing night clothes and walking around sneakily.He grabbed one casually, grabbed it by the collar and yelled, "Duo Lei's mother!"

Immediately, the man in black, who was originally struggling in a panic, stopped panicking and tried to respond: "What kind of thunder was thrown?"

"Sky Fire God Thunder!"

"What mother?"

"There is an 80-year-old mother!"

Then, Xu Chu not only released him, but also gave him a pass token.

……

That night, Lu Bu always felt something was wrong.

It seems that something big is about to happen, but after looking at the army below the city, there is still no sign of attacking the city, as if Lin Yuan's actions during the day are all crazy.

However, the figure waving the feather fan is always lingering in his mind.

The conspiracy is too obvious.

On the contrary, it is unpredictable.

In the middle of the night, when he was already drowsy, he suddenly heard a loud "boom", followed by a blaze, and it turned out that an attic in the city was flooded.

Immediately afterwards, before he had time to think about it, someone in the city shouted: "Gao Shun has rebelled, he is a spy of Cao Cao!"

Lv Bu and Chen Gong were shocked.

"How come, why is it him?"

"Impossible. Gao Shun is from my hometown. We joined the army and worked hard together until today..." Although Lu Bu didn't believe it, for the sake of safety, he ordered: "Send Zhang Liao to the east gate where Gao Shun is!"

There are four gates in Xiapi city, east, south, northwest.

Lu Bu personally guarded the largest south gate.

As for the north gate and the west gate, four "masters" are arranged respectively.

As for the east gate, it was guarded by Gao Shun alone.

This is Lu Bu's absolute trust in him, a confidant who is not among the "eight masters", but has a higher status.

"Quickly send the order, tell Zhang Liao to go to the east gate, immediately!" Chen Gong pulled the herald over and said.

But at this moment, I saw Chen Deng running over covered in blood, threw himself on the ground and said, "It's a disaster, it's a disaster, Zhang Liao voted for Cao Cao, and he wants to open the north gate to let Cao Jun in!"

Lu Bu heard the words: "???"

This is so far away from Dapu!
The two people I trust the most have turned against each other one after another?
It's impossible!

"I'll go find them both myself!" Lu Bu said, mounted his horse and left with a hundred light cavalry, but he didn't notice that the young general who came to report with Chen Deng quietly reached out to the handle of his waist!
