Chapter 697: Anticlimactic

The 30,000 troops under Lu Bu also fought fiercely with Yuan Shu's army at the head of the city.
However, the difference is that there are still about 8,000 cavalry under Lu Bu's command, these are Lu Bu's trump cards, and they are also the last remaining wolf riders from Bingzhou.
For his own cavalry, Lu Bu was reluctant to send them to give up their mounts to attack the city, and it was precisely because of this that in fact, the soldiers and horses that Lu Bu could use to attack the city were only a little more than 20,000, which was less than that of Sun Jian.
"Kill, take down Shang Cai for me!" Lu Bu held up Fang Tian's painting halberd and roared angrily.
For Runan and Shangcai, I am afraid that there is no one more eager than Lu Bu.
Compared with others, except for Liu Bei, Lu Bu is the most bitter one.
Zhou Fan won't say it, he has the third brother of Yizhou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou, and is worthy of the name of the first prince in the world.
How can Liu Biao say that it is also Jingzhou Mu, although he is also a Jingzhou Mu, but at least the entire Jingnan is under his governance.
Sun Jian is the worst among them, but he is also a real Changsha Taishou, with a county in hand.
Only he Lu Bu, except for the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, really has nothing.
Although Liu Biao helped him ask the court for a position of Wuling Taishou in order to win over Lu Bu before.
But he, the Wuling Taishou, is only in name only, and in the end he is still a person with no territory.
Therefore, in front of him, Lu Bu was determined to take Runan County, and only by taking Runan would he have the capital to compete with other princes in the future, otherwise everything would be empty talk.
At this moment, Lu Bu looked at the scorching scene of the war, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, for fear that Zhou Fan and Sun Jian would take the lead, and in the end, he would be empty, and it would really be over, Lu Bu didn't think that he had the capital to regret and break his word. I can only do my best to win Shangcai.
"Bong first, don't be impulsive." Seeing that Lu Bu, who was about to move and wanted to personally participate in the siege, Gao Shun hurriedly stopped him.
Lu Bu turned his head and glared at Gao Shun with his blood-red eyes: "Gao Shun." Why stop me! ”
Gao Shun said without humility or arrogance: "Feng Xian, this battle is definitely not a matter of one or two days, you need to plan and then act." ”
It's not that Gao Shun is worried about what danger Lu Bu will encounter, no one knows Lu Bu's martial arts better than him.
It's just that this time it's not just a siege battle, but more importantly, it's a game with several other princes. There must be no sloppiness, otherwise you will inevitably fall into passivity.
"What else is there to plan, do you want to watch others take down Shang Cai." Lu Bu asked angrily.
Gao Shun did not have the slightest fear, and shouted: "Fengxian, didn't you find that the number of Yuan troops in the city is increasing, in this case, even if you can take Shangcai, it will definitely be a heavy loss, and what ability will you have to hold Runan in the future!" ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the city, and exclaimed, "How can this be!" ”
Sure enough, just as Gao Shun said, there was a steady stream of Yuan Jun rushing out. As a result, the army under his command suffered heavy losses.
It's no wonder that he suddenly became nervous and wanted to rush up by himself, but he was too nervous before, and he didn't notice it for a while.
It's just that this is the question that makes him puzzled, Yuan Shu is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, where did he get so many soldiers and horses to deal with him, is it because he betrayed Yuan Shu before, and now this guy has come to target him.
Gao Shun also shook his head and said, "I have already sent people to several other directions to investigate the situation, and I believe there will be news soon." You were ordered to suspend the offensive of the army. ”
Lu Bu nodded, and an order was passed down, and the army slowed down its offensive and no longer fought as hard as before.
He's not a fool either. If he continues to fight like this, he will be defeated first by his own army.
In these years, only the soldiers and horses in their hands are the real capital, otherwise even if they take Shangcai, there are no troops to garrison, and in the end it will only be empty.
"Report the ......" At this time, the scout horse sent by Gao Shun happened to come back.
"How. What about the other directions? Gao Shun hurriedly asked.
"Lord Qiyu, General Qiyu, the fighting has stopped at the North City Gate, and the two sides are now stopped there, and there is no movement."
Lu Bu gritted his silver teeth and said angrily: "Damn, it must be because Zhou Fan stopped attacking the city, causing Yuan Shu's army at the north gate to come to our side." ”
He said why the pressure on his side suddenly increased, and the feelings were because of Zhou Fan, who was put on the table by Zhou Fan, and if he could have a good mood, then there would be a ghost.
"Champion Hou!" Gao Shun couldn't help frowning, he never thought that Zhou Fan was not actively attacking the city, but had a feeling of passivity and slacking off, but he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't think that Zhou Fan was specifically here to trap them, this must be a coincidence.
It's just that he really can't figure out why Zhou Fan did this, doesn't he want to go to Cai, but if he doesn't want to go to Cai, why did he propose the previous bet, it really makes him puzzled.
"What about the other two?" Gao Shun continued to ask.
"General Wenpin at the South City Gate is still continuing to attack the city, but the situation is not too good. General Sun Jian's side of the West City Gate also began to withdraw his troops. The spy said respectfully.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu and Gao Shun were immediately stunned, there was no improvement on Wen Ping's side, but it was not surprising, Lu Bu had never been optimistic about them.
But Sun Jian actually withdrew from the army, which really made him puzzled, what the hell was going on.
It stands to reason that Sun Jianna is definitely the fiercest one, and he is also eager for Runan Sun Jian.
And now that he has actually withdrawn from the army, is this still the Jiangdong Tiger in their impression, doesn't he want to go to Cai.
"What's the situation over there with Wu Chenghou!" Gao Shun asked.
"I don't know about the lowly position, the situation was chaotic at that time, and the lowly position couldn't see anything clearly, only that General Sun Jian and they began to withdraw their troops."
"Fengxian, you see?" Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu.
"Let's retire for now!" Lu Bu said without hesitation.
Zhou Fan and Sun Jian have both withdrawn, so the pressure will definitely be transferred to his side, in this case, it is impossible for Lu Bu to take Shang Cai's at all, and he can only retreat first to see the situation.
Gao Shun nodded and agreed, this is exactly what he meant, it is really not appropriate to fight at this time.
Immediately, with Lu Bu's order, the army Mingjin withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. To be continued.
