Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371 Desperate Situation (continued)

Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, and Xia Houchun led the way, followed by Le Jin, Yu Jin, Zang Ba and others, followed by thousands of troops.

This situation is really dark clouds overwhelming the city!

Xiapi City is like a giant who has been seriously injured. In the dark clouds and menacing enemies, it seems that it may collapse at any time.But this is just an illusion. Although Xiapi City was hit by floods, it did not collapse.

In addition, during the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Jun, Chen Gong had already mobilized the people of the city to either repair the city walls or tear down the doors to block the holes.Even the city gates that had been washed away were reinstalled by the civilians under his command.

Not only that, he also gathered the remaining soldiers in the city.Most of these soldiers were recruits, but they were still soldiers after all, so Chen Gong gathered them and let them guard in the east city.Not to mention, these soldiers are really not in vain.

No, when Lu Bu led his army to retreat and was chased by Cao Jun, he saw it from the top of the city and immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.

Needless to say, the accuracy of these recruits is poor.But he couldn't hold back Cao's army, even if the accuracy of those recruits was poor, they almost hit all the arrows.And this round of rain of arrows shot down, Cao Jun's speed finally slowed down, and he could no longer keep up with Lu Bu and others.

Even Zhang Fei and the others had to stop and wave their weapons to block the arrows.In this way, Lu Bu and others naturally fled back to the city easily.

As soon as Lu Bu and others fled back to the city, Chen Gong immediately ordered the soldiers to seal the city gate.It won't work if you don't seal it. Although the door is installed, it is not strong enough to withstand the impact of Cao's army, so Chen Gong asked someone to seal it.

After all this was done, Cao Jun really went to the city under the rain of arrows, and attacked the city involuntarily.If it had been before, Xiapi City would have been broken, but Cao Jun had gone through a big battle, and Xiapi City had been repaired by Chen Gong, so it would not be so easy to break through.

Sure enough, although Cao Jun was led by several generals and was extremely brave, he failed to attack the city after all.

This time it was not the role of those recruits, but Lu Bu who hurried back to the city, led the soldiers to the city again, and launched a cruel offensive and defensive battle with Cao Jun.

Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, or felt that Xiapi was already a turtle in a urn, Cao Cao simply ordered the withdrawal of troops, but did not continue to attack the city.

Lu Bu and the others didn't care why Cao Cao withdrew his troops. As soon as they saw Cao's army receding like a tide, they immediately sat or lay on the ground without image, panting, laughing and cursing loudly.

After a long time, Lu Bu and others regained their physical strength and returned to normal.But as soon as they recovered and stood up, they couldn't help but look at each other with smiles in their eyes.

No wonder it is said that the friendship on the battlefield is the friendship of life, the friendship of a lifetime.This kind of friendship is bought in blood and iron, and it will never change in a lifetime.

"Okay, let's all lead the army back first." At this time, Lu Bu really had a bit of the demeanor of the past. Not only did everyone think so, but he also felt this way.No, he looked at the soldiers under the tent, and couldn't help saying with pride: "Today we killed Cao Jun, how can we not drink and eat meat? Gongtai, hurry up and get ready, I'm going to get drunk with all the soldiers tonight .”

This time, it was rare that Chen Gong did not object to Lu Bu's drinking, even though the current situation was difficult.First, Lu Bu was able to restore his former glory, which made him very pleased.On the other hand, Lu Bu's move may have been unintentional, but it could greatly boost morale, so Chen Gong did not object.

Of course, the city still needs to be guarded, so Chen Gong approached Zhang Liao privately, told him to drink less, and left a team of soldiers on purpose.

Lu Bu's unintentional move this time really played a big role.Don't think it's incredible, it can boost morale and make the soldiers look like a rainbow. In the next two days, they stubbornly resisted Cao Jun's attack.

Really, if it weren't for Lu Bu's inspiring move, then Cao Jun's attack in the next two days would really be impossible to resist.There is no way, Cao's army attacked too violently, and the city wall of Xiapi was seriously damaged.

Without the Great Wall of flesh and blood composed of soldiers, Xiapi would lose, and Lu Bu would lose.

However, even though they were encouraged, even though the soldiers were brave enough to die, they still couldn't stop Cao Jun's pace.Cao Jun, there are too many.

On the third day, in the morning, Cao Jun began to attack frantically again, and attacked the city in many places.But fortunately, Chen Gong mobilized the whole population to defend the city.Having said that, I have to add that Xiapi is almost a dead city!

On the third day, in the afternoon, Cao Jun attacked frantically again.This time, Cao's army was even more terrifying, and soldiers climbed to the top of the city almost everywhere.But fortunately, Lu Bujun finally killed him.

Cao Jun is not in a hurry, because they know that they will definitely be able to break through the city tomorrow.

Cao Jun is not in a hurry, and neither is Lu Bu.He looked at the dead bodies all over the place and the city where the blood flowed like a river. Should he be anxious?At this time, everyone knew that Xiapi could not be kept, and it would definitely be destroyed tomorrow.

"Marquis Wen, we..."

Chen Gong's face was exhausted, and he had lost a lot of weight, even the bright eyes before were a bit dull.But no matter what, he always sticks to his position.No, as soon as the war ended, he immediately came to report to Lu Bu.

But Lu Bu didn't listen, and interrupted Chen Gong with a wave of his hand, and then walked silently to the city wall, looked at Cao Ying from a distance, and said, "Gongtai, I couldn't kill Cao Cao for you... Actually, I know, you didn't mean to kill Cao Cao!" Cao Cao, you want to end this troubled world, but unfortunately I can't do anything about it. Hehe, it's funny to say that I am such a reckless man, and I can make you work for Gongtai, what a blessing..."

"Marquis Wen, isn't there still Liu Yu? Maybe he will come tomorrow." Chen Gong was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed softly.But then, he persuaded again.

Lu Bu's eyes did brighten when he heard Liu Yu's name, but soon dimmed again.If Liu Yu could really come here, he should have come. He hasn't been here for so long, so it might be useless if he came...

"Haha, Wen Yuan, Xiao Gong!"

After all, Lu Bu didn't say anything about Chen Gong's words, but turned around and strode towards Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.At the same time, he smiled enthusiastically.

However, why is it a little tragic?
"Wei Xu, Song Xian, my relatives. To be honest, I used to trust them more, but they betrayed me. Haha, Xiaogong, I used to let Wei Xu lead the camp, I really..."

"Marquis Wen, don't say any more." Before Lu Bu finished speaking, Gao Shun, who seldom spoke, suddenly interrupted loudly, "Tomorrow, Shunyuan will fight against the camp, die and fight!"

"Death, fight!"

Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but looked at Lu Bu firmly, and repeated Gao Shun's last two words.

Lu Bu stared blankly at the two of them for a long time, then turned back to the house with a big laugh, the laughter was hearty.

Xu Huang and Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and the others, with complicated and unclear expressions in their eyes, as if regretful, as if pleased, as if...
