Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 75 Defeat Lu Bu (3)

Dawn pierced the night, the sun was rising, and sprinkled a ray of sunlight on the land. In the morning, the fog slowly dissipated. Li Song's army formed a formation outside Dongmen City, and the sound of war drums resounded through the sky.

On the wall of Dongmin City, the soldiers of Lu Bu Army ran to their positions, holding the weapons in their hands tightly. They knew that this was the rhythm of the enemy troops outside the city preparing to attack the city.

Brothers Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Wei Xu, and Zhang Miao came to the top of the city. They saw banners and banners outside the city like a tide, and swords and guns like a forest. The banners were fluttering in the wind, and the enemy army was ready to go!

"Marquis Wen! It seems that Li Song's army probably has no fewer than [-] people. Marquis Wen, you have to plan with both hands." Chen Gong looked at the army formation outside the city and said to Lu Bu beside him.

"What two-handed preparation?" Lu Bu didn't know why, so he turned around and asked Chen Gong.

"Retreat!" Chen Gong said in a low voice.

"Do you mean that this city cannot be defended?" Lu Bu grabbed Chen Gong's collar and said angrily, "Chen Gong, you dare to shake the morale of the army again. Believe it or not, I will kill you."

"Our army is less than [-], while the enemy's army is no less than [-]. Comparing the two, our army has no advantage. What's more, there is not much food and grass left in Dongmen City, and they cannot be replenished. If they just besiege the city and do not attack, it will be a matter of time before they fail. about it." Chen Gong said helplessly.

Lu Bu let go of Chen Gong, took a step back, and angrily punched the female wall, blood from his injured fist flowed down the female wall.

At the moment of their conversation, a horse rushed out from the formation of Li Song's army, and stopped two hundred steps away from Dongmen City. The archers on the city aimed their bows and arrows at the man.

The man shouted loudly: "Listen, people in the city, my lord has an order! As long as you open the city and surrender, my lord will forgive you, otherwise, when our army enters the city, we will..."

With a whoosh, a feathered arrow shot from the city, piercing his throat, his voice stopped abruptly, and he fell off the horse. The bowstring of the carved bow in Lu Bu's hand was still trembling. They all let out a cry that shocked the sky.

"Let's get started!" Seeing this scene, Li Song's face was calm, and he said to the orderly soldier who was standing by, the orderly soldier turned his horse's head and sent the order to go.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" The attack horn blew, and the soldiers marched in uniform steps, shouting slogans, and launched an attack on Dongmen City from slow to fast.

The archer raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and the loose bowstring threw the feathered arrows into the sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and shooting towards the city.

The defenders in the city hurriedly searched for cover or used shields to hide. Arrows rained down from the sky. Those who were slow were shot by the arrows, and the unlucky ones died directly.

Taking advantage of the arrival of the rain of arrows, the medical staff hurriedly carried the injured soldiers down for treatment. The rain of arrows fell on the wall again. After three salvos, the archers outside the city stopped shooting because their companions had already died. rushed under the city wall.

If you don't stop shooting, you may accidentally injure your companions, but the defenders of Dongmen City have no such concerns. They were suppressed by the enemy's arrow rain just now. Arrow, the anger in the heart followed by the arrow, and shot fiercely towards the enemy under the city.

The attacker quickly set up the ladder, held the shield, and climbed up the city with a weapon in his mouth. The defenders on the city pushed the rocks and logs down the wall, and smashed down the enemies who climbed the ladder. Fall to your death from a height.

At the city gate, Li Songjun pushed the siege vehicle, and the soldiers held up the shields, and pushed the siege vehicle to hit the city gate. The rocks and logs falling from the city hit the enemy, and when one fell, another person filled the vacancy.

The battle was still going on, both sides were red-eyed and used all their strength to fight, and the soldiers of Li Song's army who climbed up the city wall were soon forced back by the defenders.

"My lord! Everything is ready!" A soldier knelt down on one knee in front of Li Song and said.

"Okay! Send the order! Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Li Song said with a serious face, "Let the enemy know how powerful our return artillery is." The soldiers took the order and left.

"Kang Dang!..." There was a sound of golden chirping, and Li Song's army retreated like a tide. The defenders in the city saw the enemy retreating, so they seized the time to rest, because the next wave of attacks would come soon.

"Let go!" When the siege soldiers retreated a hundred steps away from Dongmen City, more than 60 catapults, under the command of the captain, threw ignited objects into the city.

The flaming objects, thrown by the trebuchet, dragged their long tails, and smashed fiercely on wooden structures such as watchtowers and houses in the city, igniting these, the fire was burning, and the defenders kept running back and forth. Intent to put out the fire.

The catapults outside the city kept throwing objects, and the archers did not miss this good opportunity to shoot, and desperately shot the arrows in their hands into the city, causing heavy casualties to the defenders.

"The cavalry follow me out of the city to fight!" Lu Bu roared angrily, turned around and quickly stepped down the city wall, mounted a red rabbit horse, and rushed out of the city with the cavalry.

"Xiang Yu! I order you to command [-] cavalry to fight Lu Bu, and I will also hand over the cavalry in this formation to you." Li Song saw Lu Bu rushing out of the city aggressively, and turned to Xiang Yu.

"No!" Xiang Yu clasped his fists and saluted, rode out and led the cavalry to kill Lu Bu and his cavalry, and the two cavalry collided fiercely.

The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides did not end until dusk. Li Song withdrew his troops and went back to the camp, waiting for the battle tomorrow. Dongmin City was temporarily saved.

"Gongtai! How long can our army hold?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gongdao with a dejected expression on his face.

"Marquis Wen! Our army suffered heavy casualties! I'm afraid this city can't be defended anymore, let's find another place!" Chen Gong said helplessly.

"Are you asking me to abandon the city?" Lu Bu said unwillingly.

"At this point, the only solution is to abandon the city. Otherwise, it will be too late when the city is broken. Now that Li Song is powerful, we are not opponents. Why don't we find another place to settle down?" Chen Gong suggested to Lu Bu, leave here.

"What do you think of Jizhou? I decided to seek refuge with Yuan Shao again." Lu Bu thought for a while, although he was unwilling, but he had no choice but to agree with Chen Gong's suggestion, and couldn't help thinking of Yuan Shao who had once taken refuge with him.

"Or, what do you think about taking refuge in Cao Cao?" Lu Bu added Cao Cao to his list.

"I think it's better to send spies to Jizhou first to find out how Yuan Shao's situation is, and then decide whether to go or not." Chen Gong suggested that Lu Bu should investigate first before making a decision.

"As for Cao Cao, I think it's fine. After Li Song defeats us, he will definitely attack Cao Cao. Sooner or later, he will be defeated by Li Song. There is no need to join him." Chen Gong rejected Lu Bu's proposal straightforwardly.

Lu Bu agreed to Chen Gong's suggestion, and hurriedly sent spies to Jizhou to find out the real situation.

The next morning, Li Song's army launched an attack on Dongmin City again, which was even more fierce than yesterday's attack. From the morning to the sunset, Dongmin City was broken by Li Song's army.

When the city was broken, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Wei Xuhu led their family members out of Dongmin City, and joined the generals at the seashore. Zhang Miao surrendered to Yuan Shu, but was killed by his men on the way, and his younger brother Zhang Chao surrendered.

Li Song's army marched into the war-baptized city of Dongmin, and except for Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'a in Yanzhou, the rest of Yanzhou fell into Li Song's hands.
