Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 177: Cao Jun Siege

As Dong Zhuo's most powerful general in the past, Hua Xiong's martial arts were naturally very strong and unrivaled among Yuan Shu's troops. In the battle with Liu Biao, Hua Xiong fought bravely, leading more than a hundred cavalrymen to directly kill him.

Yuan Shu paid great attention to the enemy's central army, and even asked Hua Xiong to be responsible for training cavalry in the army.

Yuan Shu still had some foresight. Although he was defeated by Lu Bu at the beginning, after returning to Yangzhou, he gathered his strength and strengthened his strength. Taking Shouchun as the foundation, he gradually developed. After so many years, the number of troops under his command increased to nine.

Ten thousand people, elite soldiers, and most of Yangzhou and Yuzhou are in his hands. As long as the time is right, he will occupy all of Yangzhou in one fell swoop, and then capture Jingzhou. He will be among the top princes in the world.

All this made Hua Xiong high-spirited. However, in recent times, Yuan Shu has been a little distant from him, which made him a little depressed. The war in Xuzhou allowed Yuan Shu to see new opportunities. Now Liu Yu, who had the highest claim to inherit the throne, died, and Liu Biao ascended the throne.

, he would definitely not agree to it. The war in Xuzhou was also an opportunity for him to get involved. Xuzhou was a prosperous place.

With the arrival of siege equipment, Cao Jun began to attack the city. War drums were rumbling, and dense soldiers quickly approached the moat. Each soldier carried a bag of sand on his shoulders. They approached the moat, threw the sandbag into the river, and turned around.

Just run away without making any stops.

With an ashen complexion, Liu Bei commanded the archers to fire arrows non-stop. The arrows were like rain. After many Cao soldiers were hit by arrows, they could only wail on the chaotic battlefield. At this time, Pao Ze will not stop because you are injured.

Once the war drums sound, the only option is to charge, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy.

On such a battlefield, after being injured, death, and only death, will follow.

Lu Bu stood quietly at the top of the city, watching how Cao's army attacked Xuzhou City, which was high in the city and deep in the pond. In this era, he had seen very few sieges. The princes' attack on Sishui Pass was simply a fool's errand.

The Cao army in front of them was doing it for their own interests.

Cao's army on the battlefield looked disorganized, but Lu Bu was keenly aware that these soldiers seemed to have been rehearsed in advance. They had only one purpose, to fill up the moat as soon as possible. They did not wear armor or carry weapons, but just carried sandbags and ran forward.

Next to it, there are soldiers wearing strong armor. They are responsible for guarding against the troops in Xuzhou City, and at the same time, they are also used to intimidate the soldiers filling up the moat.

This is a siege, Lu Bu thought in his mind. The previous attacks on Huguan and Jinyang were not fought with real swords and guns. He didn't know much about the cruelty of a siege, but now he has seen it.

Tens of thousands of Cao's troops came down in one day and filled up a small section of the moat. At this rate, it would only take five days to fill up the moat. Of course, the closer they got to the city wall, the greater the danger that Cao's troops would face.

There are many means to attack the defenders, and Rolling Stone Samu has already prepared them.

As soon as they got off the city wall, Lu Bu was invited by Liu Bei to the governor's palace. Although Lu Bu made it clear that he would not participate in the siege battle between the two sides, Liu Bei seemed to be unwilling to give up. Every time he studied the battle, he would call Lu Bu there.

"Brother, tomorrow I will take a group of troops and go out to kill Cao Jun's force, huh." Zhang Fei said angrily, obviously dissatisfied with the strict defense.

As soon as he entered the Prefectural Mufu, Lu Bu heard Zhang Fei's words and shouts. It was said that Zhang Fei's voice was an absolute tenor. A sudden voice like that on the battlefield would scare away the faint of heart. Lu Bu was also very curious.

How did Zhang Fei train? On the ancient battlefield, having a loud voice had many benefits, and that was the moving loudspeaker.

"Master Lu, don't you think so? Cao Jun clearly looks down on us. Those soldiers didn't even take armors and swords, they just carried sandbags. Are we just going to watch Cao Jun fill up the moat?" Seeing Lu Bu, Zhang Fei

As if he had found a close friend, he pulled Lu Bu and said.

Lu Bu smiled sarcastically, "General Zhang is brave enough to defeat the three armies. No one can stop Cao's army, but there are 80,000 Cao's troops outside the city. It's better to defend the city."

Zhang Fei curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said: "Why don't you give me 80,000 Cao Cao's troops and 1,000 cavalry? How dare I go get Cao Cao's dog head?"

Liu Bei scolded: "Yide, don't be rude."

"Master Lu, I made you laugh." Liu Bei forced out a smile and said to Lu Bu.

"Lord Liu, there is no need to be polite. Xuzhou is not that easy to conquer. Although Cao's army is large in number, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city." Lu Bu comforted him.

"During the war in Xuzhou, where Lord Lu is not participating, I wonder if I can lend my cavalry to the city to dampen the morale of Cao's army." Chen Deng stared at Lu Bu closely and said.

"Master Chen, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city, so why do we need Lu's thousand cavalry?" Lu Bu said.

"Your Excellency cares about the people and traveled thousands of miles to come to Xuzhou. The whole Xuzhou people are very grateful. Since we are in the same city, of course we must advance and retreat together. Are you prepared to stand by and watch all the time?" Chen Deng's tone was a bit unkind.

Dian Wei glared at Chen Deng, who was in a strange mood. The bulging veins on his arms showed the anger in his heart. He humiliated his ministers to death, and Lu Bu was being made things difficult for him in public. He felt very humiliated.

"Why stand by and watch?" Lu Bu asked back: "When Cao Jun arrived, didn't I try my best? Should Bingzhou be responsible for the evil done by Xuzhou general? Dare I ask Master Chen what he did? Dare you point fingers in front of me."

Chen Deng was speechless for a moment. The power that Lu Bu exuded frightened him. Then he remembered that although the other party was a Zhou Mu, he was an out-and-out military commander. Once this military commander got angry and did something he shouldn't have done, he would suffer a loss.

It's him too. You can know something if you think about Yuan Shu being kicked by Lu Bu when the princes gathered to make an alliance.

Zhang Fei glared at Chen Deng and said, "It is quite difficult for Mr. Lu to come from Bingzhou."

Guan Yu on the side also nodded. He had nothing to find fault with Lu Bu. At this time, the courage to go out of the city to negotiate with Cao Jun was not something ordinary people could possess.

"Master Chen, Xuzhou Mu Nai is Master Liu." Guo Jia stepped forward and said.

Chen Deng's face turned red. What Guo Jia meant was that Xuzhou was not his master. If he raised it in public, wouldn't it mean that he was guilty of the following? Chen Deng did not expect that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu would not appreciate it for Xuzhou's benefit. But he knew this.

The importance of the two in Liu Bei's heart.

Mi Zhu watched with cold eyes. In this short period of time, the Chen family took the opportunity to bully the Mi family.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was a bit solemn, Liu Bei smiled and said: "You guys are serious. Today, Cao's army attacked the city. The defenders in the city worked together to prevent Cao's army from returning without success. It is all your fault. I would like to thank you here."
