Suddenly, with the sound of rapid footsteps, a group of black-armored soldiers surrounded them.

Dong Zhuojun was shocked when he saw this, and several Dong Zhuo sergeants hurriedly drew their knives and wanted to resist, but before he could completely pull out the knife, he was killed by those black-armored sergeants.

"Whoever lays down his arms, don't kill!" A black-armored sergeant shouted.

The remaining Dong Zhuojun sergeants couldn't help but be shocked, and then hurriedly put down their weapons one after another. "Don't kill us, we surrender!" Sergeant Dong Zhuojun kept shouting as he laid down his weapon.

In this way, Dong Zhuojun in various parts of the Northland City was either killed on the spot, or laid down his weapons and became prisoners. Most of Dong Zhuojun did not resist, and they had a sense of relief at the moment when they put down their weapons.

When the sky was bright, the Northland City was already completely in the hands of the Northern Army. Of the remaining 4,000 Dong Zhuo troops in the city, most of them were captured, except for a few who resisted stubbornly and were killed.

Early in the morning, Zhang Jaw Gao came to the big tent of the military camp by the way, and many things had to be handled by Lu Bu, the boss.

However, when Zhang Jaw Gaoshun came to the big tent, he found that Lu Bu had disappeared.

Zhang Jaw hurriedly asked the pro-soldier on duty, but the pro-soldier looked at him left and right. Zhang Jaw couldn't help but be furious, and the soldiers finally told Lu Bu's whereabouts in fear.

After listening to the narration of the soldiers, Zhang Jaw was shocked. It is unpredictable whether this matter is true or false, Lu Bu recklessly went to attack the South City Gate, maybe he will fall into Dong Zhuojun's trap!

Zhang Jaw didn't bother to ask for details, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to gather and prepare to storm the northern city. If Lu Bu falls into the trap, he may be able to save Lu Bu and some of his sergeants by storming the Northern Earth City at this time.

In fact, according to general military practice, if Lu Bu falls into the trap, it will be too late to send troops at this time. However, the situation of the Northern Army is somewhat different, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army is higher than that of other princes, especially the Northern Army's will to fight is very strong, and the Northern Army will definitely fight to the end even if it is in a desperate situation. So even if Lu Bu fell into the trap, they were very likely to be fighting with their lives at this time.

With the command of Zhang Jaw, the northern army of the expedition quickly gathered and drove under the city wall. Looking out from the city wall, I saw the banners waving like clouds, and the phalanx advancing like mountains and seas. The more than 100,000 troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army were almost all dispatched, which really gave people a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Gao Shun was immediately at the forefront of the military formation, and they all stared at the city tower with frowns. To the surprise of the two, there was not even a shadow of a soldier on the city tower, and what was even more strange was that Dong Zhuojun's banners were all gone.

What's going on? Could it be that General Lu has already taken the Northland City? But why don't you see the banner of our army?

Zhang Jaw's heart was puzzled, but he did not delay, and immediately said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, immediately send an order to the whole army to attack the city!"

Gao Shun nodded, and then gave the order to the heralds around him to attack the city.

When the order was passed, more than 100,000 troops marching to the north shouted at the same time, and this shout contained excitement and monstrous war intent.

The Great Army began to move. Although there was no shadow of Dong Zhuojun on the city wall, the officers and men of the Northern Army were not careless. I saw that the sword and shield men lined up in several rows, neatly walking in the front, followed by the sword and shield soldiers were the attackers pushing various siege equipment, and behind the attackers were the support soldiers pushing various heavy long-range weapons such as catapults, in addition, there were more than 10,000 light cavalry on the two wings of the attacking army, and their role was to hold down the formation. This is a siege formation that is commonly used by the attacking side.

The huge attack formation was like a terrifying monster, slowly approaching the city.

As the attacking front line advanced only a hundred paces from the wall, the sword and shield men at the forefront stopped. Then the entire attacking army also stopped.

Then the sword and shield soldiers immediately changed their formation, from a horizontal formation to several defensive large circle formations. There were several gaps of considerable width between the circles.

Then, the attackers behind the sword and shield soldiers roared, pushing various siege equipment such as ladders and rushing through the gap between the circles. The siege began in earnest.

However, at this moment, there was a dramatic change on the battlefield. The gates were suddenly opened, and a horse walked out of it in a slow manner.

If this horse is someone else, it will not affect the siege rhythm of the Northern Army in the slightest, but this person is none other than the leading general of this Northern Army, Lu Bu!

At this moment, the attack formation of the Northern Army was completely chaotic. Seeing Lu Bu's attackers, he couldn't help but stop, while those who didn't see it continued to rush forward, and there were siege machines colliding together, and the scene was chaotic. Lu Bu originally wanted to show himself well, but he didn't want the scene to be a mess, so he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and he was a little at a loss.

In fact, Lu Bu's expression at this time is very rare, when has Lu Bu, who has always been arrogant, ever shown such a shocked look as today.

Fortunately, the sound of the Chinese army's collection of troops sounded in time, and the chaotic siegers gradually returned to normal.

Then, the two horsemen galloped out of the Chinese army and ran straight to the city gate. These two riders are the previously anxious Zhang Jaw and Gao Shun.

"General Lu, are you okay?" Coming to Lu Bu, he asked eagerly with his jaw and Gao Shun.

"What can I do? General Zhang, you're late, this Northland City has already been taken by me! Lu Bu said proudly.

He didn't know what to say for a while. It was only at this moment that he finally fully understood why the lord would let him be the overseer, this Lu Bu can really mess around sometimes.

The occupation of the Northland City means that this southward war has basically ended. In this battle, the Northern Army used all kinds of deception before the war, so Dong Zhuojun was caught off guard. The losses of the Northern Army were negligible, and the 50,000 horses of Dong Zhuo's army were basically all taken prisoner. It is more unfortunate for Guo Yan, who was hot-headed, was stopped and beheaded by Lu Bu on the battlefield.

Although the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied the Northland, their mission was not over. First of all, it is necessary to send troops to hold the key passes to the west and south, and also to stabilize the situation in the north and pacify the people in the north. For this reason, Zhang Jaw and Gao Shun were very busy.

At the same time, Lu Bu was not idle. After the Northern Army took control of Beidi County, many young people from Beidi gathered in front of Taishoufu, and they strongly asked to join the Northern Army. There were many young people gathered, more than 10,000 people. Lu Bu, who was on the rise, volunteered to deal with this matter.

Zhang Jaw and Gao Shun were busy in the barracks all day. In the evening, the two returned to the Taishou Mansion.

"General, I wonder how you deal with the civilians who ask to join the army?" As soon as Zhang Jaw returned to the Taishou Mansion, he asked Lu Bu about it. He was really not at ease, for fear that Lu Bu would poke out some kind of basket.

Lu Bu smiled, his expression looking very complacent, "Since they asked so strongly to join the Northern Expeditionary Army, how could I refuse, so I accepted them all!"

Zhang Jaw couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this!"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while, so he asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" "

General, you should know that in my northern army, only the lord has the right to expand and reorganize the army, and you are overstepping your authority by doing so!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case.

Lu Bu's heart couldn't help but beat a drum, and the complacent state just now disappeared in an instant. Lu Bu was silent for a long time, and a pair of sword eyebrows were furrowed, showing a look of distress. Lu Bu felt that he was now, neither left nor right, if he was wrong like this, he was really afraid that Chen Chu would be angry and guilty, and if he went to dismiss those people now, he really couldn't let go of his face and do that kind of backsliding.

Zhang Jaw on the side thought for a moment and then proposed: "I think I should immediately fly the pigeon and send a message to the lord." The generals and leaders have the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and I believe that the lord will not take care of such trivial matters.

Lu Bu nodded, and felt that he should do this.

On the same day, Zhang Jaw released the carrier pigeon to Bingzhou. A few days later, Chen Chu replied in a letter, "Feng Xian, as a leading general, has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and in the future, there is no need to ask for instructions on such matters, and he can make his own decisions." Receiving

this letter, Lu Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A few days after the Northern Army captured Beidi County, Dong Zhuo, who was in Meiwu, received the news.

"Zhong Jian, how can this be? How could the Northern Army rob my Northland County so silently? In the Meiwu Palace, Dong Zhuo yelled at Li Ru with a shocked face.

Dong Zhuo roared as he moved his fat body and paced back and forth on his head. At this time, Dong Zhuo looked like an ant on a hot pot. No wonder Dong Zhuo is so anxious, that Beidi County is the gateway to the north of Chang'an, losing Beidi County, Chang'an is under the direct threat of the soldiers of the Northern Army, this is not the most serious, the most serious thing is that at this time the main force of Dong Zhuo's army was all dragged in Longxi, Chang'an is extremely empty at the moment, if the Northern Army moves south at this time, Chang'an is bound to be unsafe.

Li Ru lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time, he raised his head and said to Dong Zhuo: "Taishi, I'm afraid the information we received before is all a fake!"

Dong Zhuo paused, his eyebrows furrowed, and after a while, he asked with a gloomy face: "Could it be that Zhang Ji and Chen Chu are deceiving me?!"

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Zhang Ji should have no problem." I'm afraid that Zhang Ji and our conspiracy has long been known to Chen Chu, so Chen Chu will use a trick to hide the world!

Dong Zhuo's face was cloudy and silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "What's the use of thinking about these now!" Zhong Jian, tell me, what should we do now?

Li Ru pondered for a moment and replied: "Send someone to urge Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and at the same time find a way to negotiate peace with Ma Teng, as long as Ma Teng is willing to truce and stop fighting, we will not hesitate to suffer some losses!"

Dong Zhuo has completely lost his mind now, and when he heard Li Ru say this, he immediately agreed to it all.

After the Northern Army captured Beidi County, the situation of the Northern Army in Guanzhong was very good. The Northern Army only needs to wave its army south, and it can get Chang'an at its fingertips and capture Dong Zhuo alive.

At the same time, in the east, although Cao Cao's army had already entered the Huguan Pass, Yuan Shao's army was still patrolling Luoyang. The messenger sent by Chen Chu sent back very optimistic news.
