Three Kingdoms

Without thinking, Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and prepared to chop it outwards, but as soon as Fang made contact, he felt something bad. This hard feeling was not a corpse at all, but a pounding stone!

In the loud "dang" sound, sparks splashed all over the sky!

If it weren't for the quality of Fang Tian's painted halberd, such a blow would basically declare ordinary weapons to be completely useless...

Although Lu Bu successfully knocked the stone away, he couldn't help but take a few steps back and bumped into the bodyguard behind him to stabilize his body. The hand holding Fang Tian's painted halberd was also a little numb.

"damn it……"

Before Lu Bu could finish his curse, he saw several huge rolling wooden rocks being dropped one after another from above his head!

These materials were originally piled inside the city gate tower to defend against foreign enemies, but now they were used by Xiliang soldiers to beat up the soldiers defending the city. This cannot but be said to be an extreme irony.

No matter how brave Lu Bu was, he couldn't face this kind of attack head-on. He could only lean as close to the wall of the corridor as possible and fly away the fallen logs and rocks.

Several personal guards and some ordinary soldiers who were following Lu Bu were unable to dodge and were hit by rolling logs and rocks. Their heads and bones were almost broken on the spot, and their chests and legs were broken!

The momentum of Lu Bu and others' upward charge was suddenly blocked, and they were stuck halfway in the corridor and could not enter!

Just when Lu Bu yelled for someone to bring up the shield, and was about to raise it diagonally to remove the fallen rocks and continue to attack upwards, several more large clay jars were thrown from above, hitting Lu Bu and others. Ahead, black fire oil splashed everywhere, contaminating everything, and even splashed on Lu Bu's face and body...

Fan Chou's soldiers got some breathing space and even moved out several jars of kerosene stored in the ear rooms at the corners of the city wall!

Several torches fell from the sky in circles!

Lu Bu's expression finally changed, and just when he screamed "Fire oil! Back off!" with a bang, red and blue flames shot up into the sky, and quickly spread along the oil stains!

Lu Bu turned around and wanted to retreat, but found that the corridor behind him was packed with people. He could not retreat in an instant, but the flames in front of him, as tall as one person, rushed towards him with teeth and claws, as if they were about to bite Lu Bu. Devour!

"Jump!"

At this moment, Lu Bu immediately made the most correct choice and jumped down from the six to seven meter high corridor!

The few guards and soldiers around Lu Bu who moved a little slower were engulfed by the huge flames in the next moment, turned into a pillar of fire, let out an inhuman howl, fell down, and twitched several times on the ground. There is no breath anymore.

Although Lu Bu escaped the flames, he stepped on a corpse with one foot when he landed. He was already heavy, coupled with the heavy armor, his ankle was twisted due to uneven stress. An abnormal shape, Lu Bu screamed in pain, staggered a few steps, and quickly used Fang Tian's painted halberd to support him, so as not to fall to the ground.

Several personal guards rushed forward, held Lu Bu up and retreated. If one leg was lame in the foot battle, no matter how brave he was, he would not be able to continue fighting!

Although Fan Chou saw it from the top of the city wall, he could not get down for a while, so he could only watch helplessly as Lu Bu escaped with the support of his personal guards...

"Hahahaha! Lu Bu, Shuzi! If you have the guts to fight against Grandpa San Baihe!" Fan Chou waved his sword and roared loudly. As if echoing Fan Chou's shouts, the reinforcements from Xiliang outside Chang'an City came again. A batch has arrived!

The Xiliang soldiers who poured into the city again shouted louder: "Kill! Kill! Fight into Chang'an City!"

Above the corridor, the fire was still fierce, the stone steps and city bricks of the burning city crackled, and the black smoke rose straight into the sky, seeming to be connected with the dark clouds in the sky, like a piece of sky that engulfed the Han Dynasty. It's like digging a hole!

***********************

In the palace, Liu Xie was a little panicked when he heard the noise outside.

Liu Xie didn't expect to hear this extremely frightening scream of personnel for the second time in Chang'an...

When we were in Luoyang, that night, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their troops into the palace. At that time, the same sound sounded in the palace as now!

And after this sound...

Liu Xie shuddered.

Only then did he understand why his brother's face was so pale and his hands were so cold.

"Your Majesty, don't be alarmed. Situ has ordered the palace guards to guard the palace gates strictly. Your Majesty will be safe." Outside the dormitory, an eunuch in the palace knelt outside the door and said.

"Where's Wang Situ?" Liu Xie asked.

"Situ has gone to the palace wall to patrol and take charge..." the eunuch reported back.

"Oh..." Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "...do you know who is causing trouble?"

"...Your Majesty..." the eunuch paused, and then said, "...it is said...that he is...a soldier of Dong...Dong's thief..."

Liu Xie couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then looked back at the long sword placed on the wooden stand on one side of the hall, the sword left by Dong Zhuo...

"...Dong...Master Dong..." Liu Xie murmured in a low voice, "...Are you coming for revenge..."

************************

On the palace wall, the soldiers of the imperial army, wearing bright armor, stood on the palace wall and were waiting.

Situ Wang Yun listened to the loud noises in the city. He didn't know whether it was because he was walking in a hurry just now or for some other reason. There was already a thin layer of sweat on his head, and his voice couldn't help but become a little louder. : "What? Another reinforcement from the Xiliang rebels is coming?! How many Xiliang rebels are in the city?"

"..." The commander of the imperial army who was on duty on the palace wall lowered his head and remained silent. The palace gates are all closed. It's already good if I can get people to inquire about this information. Where can I know exactly how far the Xiliang soldiers came?

"...Has the order been sent to mobilize reinforcements from Lingyi?!" Seeing that the commander of the imperial army could not answer, Wang Yun also realized that the question he just asked was a bit stupid, so he changed the topic and said.

The commander of the Forbidden Army raised his hands and replied: "This is Situ, I sent it immediately after receiving Situ's order..."

"Good!" Wang Yun nodded, then looked left and right, and said, "Let me bring more defensive equipment. There are rolling logs and stones. Why don't you send someone to fetch them!"

"..." The commander of the forbidden army couldn't help but grinned, lowered his head and said, "Situ... rolling wood and stones... that's all..."

"What?!" Wang Yun's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that not only was there sweat on his head, but there was also a layer of sweat on his back.

"Report to Situ..." the commander of the forbidden army still lowered his head and said, "...in the palace, these rolling wooden and stone reserves are not as good as those in the outer city..."

"...Is there any kerosene? Where's the gold juice?" Although Wang Yun had not directly led troops into battle, he at least knew a little about these things, so he kept asking.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the forbidden army shook his head repeatedly and said: "This... there is only a little kerosene, gold juice... this... none..."

In the palace, water and fire are the top priority. Where can flammable fire oil and other utensils be stored in large quantities?

As for the golden juice, haha, when the sky just dawns every day, the first thing the maids and eunuchs in the palace have to do is to gather all the night fragrance in one place and send it outside the palace, where will it be stored? Within the palace?

"Arrows! There are always arrows, right?!" Wang Yun clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and asked, trembling slightly.

"...Yes, but there are not many...in the arsenal..." The commander of the Forbidden Army glanced at Wang Yun quickly, and then said, "...Situ ordered Wenhou to go out on the expedition and moved some weapons away, but later they were stolen. After that...I moved to the outer city a little bit..."

"..." Wang Yun was speechless. He just felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were turning black...
