Chapter 54 [Drizzle, arrow rain, desperately protecting the head] for collection, recommendation

The sky in Guangxin City was still drizzling, which meant that there would be continuous autumn rain.

The gloomy sky made the oppressive Guangxin City even more restless. The absence of the prefect Shi Huang made the army's morale uneasy.Rumors spread everywhere in the city, and many nobles began to prepare for themselves.

It was half an hour before noon, but swords were raging inside and outside the city, and the battle was imminent.

Lu Bu has brought more than 500 troops to a distance of [-] meters from the east city gate, facing the east city wall, and is ready for battle.

On the tower of the east gate of Guangxin City, the defenders stared at Lu Bu's army outside the city. Many arrows, logs, boulders and barrels of kerosene were prepared on the tower, ready to fight.

On the top of the city gate, the county lieutenant Cheng Lu, the censor Shi Zhao Yuan and others looked at the dark enemy army in front of them with serious expressions.The morale, equipment, and formation of Lu Bu's army shocked them.

"When did Nanhai County produce such a well-equipped and well-trained army? This is really an army from Nanhai County?" Zhao Yuan, the censor, had a solemn expression.

"This" Cheng Lu, the county lieutenant, couldn't tell the reason, but he also saw some differences. He changed the topic and said: "The enemy army only has more than [-] people, no large siege equipment, and cavalry as infantry. Although equipped Excellent and well-trained, but as long as we leave the city and defend the city, we will be invincible!"

Everyone nodded, "It's still the county lieutenant who can see clearly. We can't be fooled by the enemy's superficial appearance. They are nothing to be afraid of."

But at this moment, two soldiers rushed to report.

"Report, report to Lord Lieutenant, the enemy is found at the north gate!"

"Report, report to Lord Lieutenant, Ximen found the enemy!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "How many people are there in the enemy army?"

"They just set up a siege formation outside the city, and did not launch an attack. From a distance, there are tens of thousands of people!"

"The same is true for Ximen, there are estimated to be nearly ten thousand enemy troops!"

Said the two soldiers who reported.

"What? There are nearly 2 people at the north gate and west gate?" Everyone was completely shocked. Didn't they say that there were only [-] enemy troops?Why suddenly there are more than [-] people?
Panicked, messed up.
"Quiet!" Cheng Lu was furious and shouted with his sword.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Cheng Lu said: "This must be the enemy's cover-up, plus they want to attack us. Their goal must be the east gate. Everyone proceeds according to the original plan. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

Cheng Lu was just guessing, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had to say so.

"Go back and let the generals at the north gate and west gate stand firm and not attack. If our reinforcements arrive, we can find the right time to respond, and don't fall for the enemy's tricks." Cheng Lu was worried and told the two messengers The soldier took the message back.

The two messengers had just left for less than a quarter of an hour when two more messengers arrived.

"Report, the enemy army at the north gate has begun to attack the city."

"Report, the Ximen enemy army has begun to attack the city."

Everyone's head was shaking for a while, and there was another wave after the unrest.

At this time, Lu Bu's army also began to move.

"Look, the enemy troops outside the city have also begun to move."

"Are they going to attack from west, north, east, and three sides at the same time?"

"What should I do now?"

Several civil servants, with sad faces, kept talking.

"Shut up!" Cheng Lu was furious. These literati can't do anything but talk. He cursed angrily: "Shut up with me, and anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be killed without mercy!"

Then, he ordered to the left and right generals: "All generals, return to their respective positions, stick to the city, and repel the enemy!"

Lu Bu's side is now under the unified command of Zhang Liao. First, the shield soldiers stepped forward and stopped when they reached the range of the enemy's bows and arrows.Then the archers stepped forward in line, closely following the shield soldiers.

The shield soldiers are responsible for covering the archers. The archers of one echelon retreat quickly after releasing their arrows, and the second echelon continues to go up, so that the rotation continues.

Their purpose was to suppress the defenders on the city tower, so that Lu Bu could lead the soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion to rush to the city gate.

Lu Bu, ninety soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion, and five shield soldiers were already on the sidelines.Among them, four shield soldiers carried a bamboo ladder in groups of two, which were used when crossing the moat.

The remaining shield soldier was to protect Lu Bu. Lu Bu was very afraid of death, so he had to get extra insurance.

"Everyone, protect your heads and try to survive!" Lu Bu said, looking at the crowd.

He didn't know how many of these people would survive, but he would try his best to bring them back to Guangxin City alive.

"General, don't worry, even if you die, we won't let you get hurt!" Everyone said in unison, the task is as important as protecting Lu Bu's safety, but protecting Lu Bu comes first at critical moments.

"Well, to protect this general is to complete the mission. As long as this general arrives at the east gate, your mission will be completed. But this general hopes to step into the east gate with you and share the joy of success. So, don't die, protect it with all your might." Head!" Lu Bu was solemn and somewhat sensational.

With [Bulletproof Vest], if you try your best to protect your head, it will be very difficult to die.

Everyone was moved by Lu Bu's words and nodded desperately.

Lu Bu also nodded, and once again solemnly warned: "Remember, protect your head as hard as you can!"

At this time, a messenger ran over and reported to Lu Bu that Zhang Liao was ready, and a feint attack at the north gate and west gate had begun.

"Pass down the general's order and order Zhang Liao to lead the army to attack the city." Lu Bu said.

The messengers quickly returned to Zhang Liao to deliver Lu Bu's order. Zhang Liao stood on a chariot, pointed his sword at Guangxin City ahead, and ordered: "Attack!"

With an order, the archers and shield soldiers of the first echelon stepped forward and slowly walked to the enemy's shooting range, and at the same time they had to reach their own shooting range to stop.

The defenders on the city are at a height below zero, and the range of the archers is farther than that of shooting from the bottom of the city tower.That's why the shield hand was arranged to cover the archer to minimize the damage.It can also make the rolling logs, boulders, kerosene and other defensive weapons on the towers useless.

Lu Bu's side entered the shooting range of the guards on the tower, and Cheng Lu, the county lieutenant, decisively ordered people to shoot arrows to kill him.He didn't know the purpose of Lu Bu's doing this, but his intuition told him not to let these archers get too close, otherwise he would also be shot by bows and arrows.

The drizzle in the sky was still falling, but at this moment, there were more pieces of arrow rain, falling from the sky of the city tower.

An echelon of more than 2000 archers and shield soldiers continued to advance against the drizzle and arrow rain. One after another fell down on the road, and blood flowed in the mud along with the drizzle.

But there was still no intention of stopping, and he continued to move forward until he reached the bow and arrow shooting range of his own side.At this time, the shield soldier squatted down suddenly, and the archer opened his bow and set an arrow, appearing in the field of vision.

Whoosh, thousands of arrows were fired at the city tower.
