The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 420
The army led by Lu Bu finally advanced to the outside of Xudu City.

Since breaking the Yu ban, they have not encountered any resistance along the way.

Arriving outside the city of Xudu, Lu Bu didn't move a step for a long time as he looked at the city wall with the battle flag fluttering.

"Marquis Chu, you have been standing here for a long time." Sun Ce came to him and said to him: "It is not a matter of a day or two to attack Xudu. We should go to the tent to rest first, and wait until the time to attack the city." It's not too late."

"Wait until the time of the siege, don't you think it's too late?" Lu Bu asked Sun Ce, "Does Bo Fu think it's feasible for me to lead the soldiers into the city to protect His Majesty?"

"I don't think it's feasible." Sun Ce said: "The Marquis of Chu is as brave as a god-man, and everyone in the world knows it. If Marquis Chu goes, although he can protect His Majesty, Cao Cao will send more troops to besiege the palace. Before our army rushes into the city, the Marquis of Chu will most likely be killed."

"When I am about to break through Xudu, I will lead the airborne troops into the city." Lu Bu said, "With Taishi Ziyi by my side, Cao Jun will not take the palace from me so quickly."

Gently patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, Lu Bu said: "Since you chose to serve me, I have always treated you like a brother. You are by my side every day. Others don't need to understand, how can you not understand?" My plan?"

"It is precisely because I know that Marquis Chu regards me as someone close to me, so I can't just watch you die." Sun Ce said, "If you really want to go, let me go."

"Are you going?" Lu Bu asked him, "How many generals of the Cao army can you deal with? If Cao Cao arranges for Xu Chu, Xu Huang and the like, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to support the army until it enters the city."

"In terms of martial arts, I am indeed far behind the Marquis of Chu." Sun Ce replied, "But as I said, following the Marquis of Chu, even if you are smashed to pieces, I will not let you put yourself in danger..."

"Living in troubled times is already a risk." Lu Bu said: "People in troubled times, no matter whether they are noble or humble, live for a day, and they don't know whether they will see the rising sun the next day. The palace With me, you have more important things to do."

"If you ask me to wait outside the city, I will refuse to carry out the order of the Marquis of Chu." Sun Ce replied, "No matter what, I must enter Xudu together with the Marquis of Chu."

"If you want to enter Xu, it's not impossible." Lu Bu said to him: "Go and invite Zhou Gongjin first, and I will confirm with him how to attack Xu Du."

"Did the Marquis of Chu agree to me?" Sun Ce looked at Lu Bu in surprise, he never thought that Lu Bu would agree so simply. "

"The paratroopers are all called by me. Of course I have to arrange some things for you." Lu Bu said, "Whether I can wait until the army enters the city depends on how well you carry out the things."

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu, as long as you let me enter Xudu, no matter what I am asked to do, I will do my best." Lu Bu did indeed agree to let him enter the city, and Sun Ce immediately expressed his opinion.

Nodding his head, Lu Bu said to him, "Invite Zhou Gongjin here first."

Sun Ce agreed, turned around and invited Zhou Yu to go.

Not long after, Zhou Yu arrived.

Lu Bu glanced at him and asked him, "Cao Jun's defense in Xudu, you should have had someone check it out."

"Except for the inside of the city, there is no way to investigate. I let people see the surrounding area." Sun Ce replied: "Cao Cao gathered his troops near Xudu, apparently to start a decisive battle with Chuhou. If Chuhou attacked the city, the surrounding area of ​​Xudu Cao’s army will continue to harass and harass until our army is exhausted. If Chu Hou doesn’t attack the city, they will just surround it until our army runs out of food and grass.”

"There are Cao troops around, and the food and grass we brought won't last long at all." Lu Bu said: "We will be defeated sooner or later if we spend with them."

"What does Marquis Chu mean to launch an attack?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Since we are here, of course we have to launch an attack." Lu Bu said, "However, we still have to think about how to attack."

"I will never agree to what Chuhou said earlier." Zhou Yu said: "Chuhou is the general of the three armies. Once trapped in Xudu City, the morale of the soldiers will be severely damaged. I don't have the confidence to bring a team without morale." The army defeated Xudu."

"Of course you can't defeat Xudu with an army without morale." Lu Bu replied, "But you have a way to keep the morale of the soldiers alive. It's just that you don't want to do that."

"What Chuhou said is indeed what I think." Zhou Yu did not hide it, but said directly to Lu Bu: "I still want to ask Chuhou to understand the minds of the soldiers. What would you think if you were the Marquis of Chu and a soldier of the three armies?"

"Please come here, I don't want to argue with you." Lu Bu waved his hand: "You don't have to talk to me so much. What I want to discuss with you is actually a way to defeat the enemy."

"A way to defeat the enemy?" Zhou Yu asked: "If there is a way to defeat the enemy, Chuhou will abandon his previous decision and stop entering Xudu himself?"

"Of course not." Lu Bu said, "Gong Jin knows how important His Majesty is today. If I don't enter Xudu myself, how can I rest assured?"

"It seems that Marquis Chu still refuses to give up his previous idea." Zhou Yu sighed and asked, "I don't know what Marquis Chu thinks about defeating Xudu?"

"What I want to ask is your opinion." Lu Bu said, "There are Cao Jun everywhere around Xudu. No matter what we do, Cao Jun will come to make trouble. I think the best way is to suddenly attack and take it from Cao Jun. Let's go to Xudu. As for the enemy troops outside the city, we can simply ignore them."

"Marquis Chu means to rely on the paratroopers?" Zhou Yu frowned. "If the paratroopers are thrown into the city separately, they will be divided and solved by Cao Jun. They won't even have a chance to open the city gate."

"Of course the paratroopers will not be separated, Taishi Ziyi wants to go to the palace with me." Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce and said to Zhou Yu: "I intend to let Bofu's Xiefan soldiers and General Gao's trapped camp enter Xudu first. When they open the city gate, the army will attack again. In order to deal with me and Taishi Ziyi who went to the palace, Cao Cao will definitely divide his troops to go. I heard that I have entered Xudu, so how could he not invest more troops in the palace? In this way, the city gate will be relaxed a lot."

"The Troubled Soldiers and the Trapped Camp have no experience in airborne at all. If Chuhou wants them to jump into the city from mid-air, I'm afraid that many soldiers will fall to their deaths." Zhou Yu shook his head: "I don't think this method is feasible."

"Why can't it work?" Afraid that the good news of entering the city would be blown away, Sun Ce said from the side: "Although the soldiers who relieve troubles and the camp have no experience in airborne, the soldiers are not stupid. As long as someone teaches them, it will take less than two days. That's all."

Looking at Zhou Yu, Lu Bu asked, "What did Bo Fu say?"

"It's a way." Zhou Yu frowned and replied, "But I still feel that they should practice a few more times."

"Drilling near Xudu, isn't it to let Cao Cao know my plan?" Lu Bu said, "Actually, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to practice by jumping from mid-air, so I can only let General Taishi draw a few veterans from the paratroopers to teach The ability to deal with troublesome soldiers and parachute from trapped camps."

Looking at Sun Ce, Lu Bu asked: "Without practical operations, how sure do you think the Xiefan soldiers will fall into Xudu intact?"

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu, I personally trained the trouble-shooting soldiers." Sun Ce said, "I know how much they are capable of. As long as someone kowtows to teach the skills, I believe that the soldiers will be able to land smoothly. "

"It's good that Bo Fu has confidence in the soldiers." Lu Bu nodded and said to Sun Ce: "You can also invite General Gao later. I have something to tell you in detail."

"I'll invite him right away." Sun Ce responded, turned and left.

Watching Sun Ce's back, Zhou Yu asked Lu Bu, "Master Chu really intends to do this?"

"Could it be that Gongjin thinks I'm joking?" Lu Bu asked back.

"Of course not." Zhou Yu said, "It's just that the Marquis of Chu should be aware that in this way, both the Troubleshooting Soldiers and the Trapping Camp will be put to death. Bo Fu and General Gao do have some skills, but there are also many strong generals in the Cao army in the city." .”

"Don't worry, Gong Jin." Lu Bu said, "Most of Cao Jun's fierce generals will be sent to the palace, so I said that it is extremely important for me to enter. If I don't go, I will send all the troublemakers and traps into the city." , it is very likely that I will be surrounded by the enemy. If I go, Cao Cao would like to mobilize all the soldiers and horses to the palace in order to kill me, so why would he have the heart to deal with Bo Fu and others?"

"What Chuhou said is indeed correct, but I still don't think it's safe." Zhou Yu sighed softly, and said to Lu Bu: "But Chuhou has already made a decision, so I can't say more. I can only wish Chuhou Hitting the ground running."

"Gong Jin no longer objected?" Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to Zhou Yu, "I thought you had a better way."

"Is there any better way?" Zhou Yu replied, "I have already looked around. Cao Jun has placed a lot of soldiers and horses here. They cut off every retreat route for us, and what is placed in front of our army is only There is only one way to conquer Xudu. If Xudu cannot be successfully captured, the soldiers must be left here with Chuhou. Although Chuhou's method is risky, it is the only way."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu added: "However, I still want to ask Marquis Chu to bring one more general into the palace."

"Who to bring?" Lu Bu asked him.

"Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong." Zhou Yu said, "General Zhao is full of courage, and his martial arts skills are comparable to Bo Fu. With him present, I feel safer."

"Zilong absolutely cannot go with me." Lu Bu said, "I plan to let Zilong lead the cavalry to attack the city while the gate is open. The cavalry is extremely fast, and when they enter the city Now, it is no longer possible for Cao Jun to counterattack and seize the city gate. At that time, Gong Jin only needs to arrange for the troops to be killed, and all other soldiers will enter the city, and Xudu will be ours."

"Don't worry about the Cao army outside the city, as long as they stop and block their retreat?" Zhou Yu asked Lu Bu.

"Exactly." Lu Bu said: "Our army launched an attack on Xudu. At first, the Cao army outside the city did not understand the situation, and they would not respond so quickly. When our army attacked the city, it was too late for Cao army to react. Yes. But at that time, we hadn’t captured Xudu yet. When they arrive, there will definitely be a bloody battle between the two sides in Xudu city.”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly: "The defeat of Xudu is just the beginning. It is not an easy task to drive Cao Jun out of Xudu and firmly occupy Xudu."

"Our army is not as numerous as Cao's army. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize after a bloody battle." Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Chuhou's method is indeed too risky."

"The reason why I dare to take such a risk is that I know that Yuan Shao's army is not far from us." Lu Bu said, "As long as Yuan Shao still has the intention to win the present Majesty, there will be no problem with my deployment this time. "

"How dare the Marquis of Chu count on Yuan Shao?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "When I was planning, I never took the soldiers and horses he sent into consideration."

"That's because you still don't understand what Yuan Shao wants." Lu Bu said, "What he wants is His Majesty today. As long as His Majesty is still in Xudu City, his soldiers and horses will definitely come to rescue him. I will bring the paratroopers into the Xu Du, Yuan Shao's advisers should also understand what happened. If they dare to delay the opportunity, no one can say for sure whether His Majesty will survive."

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhou Yu had the feeling that he had never known him before.

Although when he joined Lu Bu, Lu Bu's body had already changed his soul.

But he has always believed that Lu Bu is still following a safe direction in combat.

Now that Lu Bu repeatedly mentioned that he would personally bring the paratroopers into Xudu to defend the palace, knowing that it was necessary to do so, Zhou Yu still felt that Lu Bu was a lunatic.

No matter how brave you are, after all, Cao Jun is in the city of Xudu.

The paratroopers were no more than a few thousand people. After they were thrown into the palace, they might be able to quickly wipe out the Cao army in the palace.

However, facing the Cao army pouring into the palace from outside, they had little resistance.

Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that paratroopers are not as elite as troubleshooters and trapped camps.

Even if each of them is as good at fighting as the Troubleshooting Soldiers and the Trapped Camp, there is not much possibility of surviving when they are at a complete disadvantage.

The expression on Zhou Yu's face was still very strange.

Lu Bu patted his arm lightly: "I know exactly what Gong Jin is thinking. But Gong Jin must also understand that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. We have no other way except what I said. Defeat Xu Du."

"I understand what Marquis Chu means." Zhou Yu nodded helplessly, and asked Lu Bu in a somewhat disappointed tone, "Does Marquis Chu feel that we are too hasty in attacking Cao Cao?"

"It's not in a hurry." Lu Bu replied, "When it comes to increasing our military strength, we will not be faster than Cao Cao. When we gather what we think is enough troops, Cao Cao's army must have been expanded. It will only be a matter of time. It’s just expanding the battle a bit, but the ending is not as clear as it is now.”
