Chapter 841 Shouchun City is broken
At the gate of Shouchun City, the figure of the army appeared for the third time today.
The people in the city were on the sidelines, watching the excitement and discussing, what happened today, why did the army in the city be sent out of the city again and again?
Could it be that the enemy forces outside the city have withdrawn, and if so, why are the soldiers who were sent out of the city look so solemn?
But if the enemy army did not withdraw and transferred so many men and horses out of the city in a row, wouldn't Shouchun City be wanted?
Not only these onlookers, but also those Yuan Shu soldiers who stayed in the city also had the same worries.
But they knew that they were the little pawns who were powerless to change the decisions of the superiors.
Fortunately, their lord was not completely dazed, and ordered the city gate to be sealed as soon as the soldiers who had left the city had completely left.
Unless ordered by the lord himself, the city gate must not be opened.
As long as the city gate is closed, with the defense of Shouchun City, even if tens of thousands of enemy troops attack the city at a time, they are confident that they can hold it for more than three days.
At that time, as long as General Han outside the city can return in time, their crisis will be resolved.
But there is still a question, that is, where did General Zhang go?
General Zhang is the backbone of all Yangzhou troops in the city, even if it is the lord Yuan Shu, in their hearts, he does not have a high status as General Zhang.
And through this period of engagement with the enemy army, General Zhang has established great prestige in their hearts.
They believe that as long as General Zhang is there, Shouchun City will definitely not be lost!
But since not long ago, General Zhang went to persuade the lord to withdraw the order to continue the rescue, General Zhang has not appeared again, could it be that the lord left General Zhang in his mansion to discuss the military situation?
What if at this time, an enemy army suddenly attacks them, who else can serve the public without General Zhang, and who else can protect Shouchun?
Originally, these were just some of the ideas of the Yangzhou defenders, but I didn't expect God to be so moody, and the most helpless thing is that they are often good spirits who are not bad!
Just when these thoughts just came to the minds of the Yangzhou defenders, a sudden situation appeared so suddenly.
Most of the rescue army had just left the city, and at least 3,000 people remained in the city, when the enemy army suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Originally, there was just a sudden puff of smoke and dust before, and the direction in which the smoke and dust appeared was still the direction where General Han Xian and them were.
The Shouchun defenders also thought that it was General Han who sent back the men and horses who came to report the situation.
By the time they realized that the scale of the smoke and dust was wrong, it was too late, and about 5,000 elite cavalry of the enemy army appeared in their line of sight.
At that time, the Yangzhou army that was going out of the city was in chaos.
Some people want to immediately organize a defensive line to defend on the spot, some are ready to retreat to the city to defend with the advantage of the location, and some people are spinning around like headless flies.
For a moment, the whole team fell into a panic, and their panic soon caused a chain reaction, and the defenders who were guarding the city gate were also extremely panicked.
Lu Bu and his cavalry entered their ranks under such circumstances.
Lu Bu's courage can be said to be one of the top few people in the world, and there is no general in Yangzhou who can compete with him alone.
Even Zhang Xun, the backbone of the Shouchun defenders, did not have the courage to fight Lu Bu alone.
Without Shouchun's strong defensive measures, Zhang Xun would not have been able to stop Lu Bu's attack at all.
What's more, the current Zhang Xun has been ordered by Yuan Shu to be imprisoned, and Zhang Xun, who is in the dungeon, has no way of knowing the situation in the city at this time, let alone commanding his subordinates to defend or counterattack.
The Shouchun garrison without Zhang Xun's command turned into a plate of scattered sand, and it couldn't stop Lu Bu's troops at all, and it couldn't even stop it a little!
In this way, Lu Bu took the most elite 5,000 cavalry under his command to break through the defense line of those Shouchun defenders and directly captured the wide open city gate.
At this time, the situation in Shouchun City became even more chaotic, and the panic of the Shouchun defenders infected the people who were watching the excitement around them.
Upon learning that the enemy had taken the city gates, the people scattered in all directions.
The people who were scurrying around reduced the will to fight of the Shouchun defenders.
In addition, Chen Gong had already ordered the soldiers in Lu Bu's army to build momentum everywhere immediately after capturing the city gate, creating the illusion that the army had broken the city.
This can not only reduce the will of the defenders in the city to resist, but also cause panic in the entire Shouchun City, which will make their future battles easier!
Regarding Chen Gong's decision, Lu Bu raised his hands in agreement, as the lord, he trusted Chen Gong like this, so how could his soldiers not obey Chen Gong's decision.
For a while, in Shouchun City, there were bursts of shouting:
What enemy troops have entered the city, everyone hastened to flee for their lives, what general Zhang Xun has surrendered, and what their lord Yuan Shu has fled.
Anyway, all the rumors that could shake the heart of the Shouchun army spread throughout Shouchun City in a short period of time.
Yuan Shu, who was still in his mansion at this time, also got the news that the enemy army had entered the city.
At that time, Yuan Shu felt that his eyes were black for a while, and at this time, he woke up to how stupid the decision he had just made was.
Even all the decisions he made today in one day were stupid.
Obviously, the military city should have been out of his hands for a long time, but it was only because the enemy army blocked the news that he was not able to grasp the dynamics of the military city in time.
If Han Xian's men and horses could detect this fact after they encountered the first stop, then it was not hopeless to hold Shouchun.
Even after the sound of Han Xian's second confrontation with the enemy came, he could think calmly and no longer make the decision to continue sending troops, or if he could listen to Zhang Xun's advice, the situation would not have collapsed to such an extent!
But now it's too late to say this, since the enemy has already entered the city, then unless he has the ability to defeat the other party, otherwise Shouchun City will definitely fall into the hands of the enemy.
But even if Zhang Xun is released now, does he have the ability to defeat Lu Bu who has already entered the city?
Yuan Shu knew that although he was stupid, he was not so arrogant that he didn't know the height of the sky.
He knew Lu Bu's skills very well, and Zhang Xun could never be Lu Bu's opponent.
Even if he releases Zhang Xun now, Zhang Xun can't stop Lu Bu for ten rounds, and when he is in the city, he will still become Lu Bu's prisoner!
After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shu made a decision, that is, to immediately escape from Shouchun with the guards around him.
As for those wealths, you can take as much as you can, and if you can't take them, you can just set them on fire!
However, before leaving, he still needs to do one more thing, that is, release Zhang Xun, even if Zhang Xun is not Lu Bu's opponent, but he can buy himself some time.
In this way, he can take his guards and run farther.
Of course, Lu Bu, who knew that he had escaped, would definitely fall into a rage, and Zhang Xun, who stopped him, would become the first target of his anger.
But what can this be, what does Zhang Xun have to do with whether he is dead or alive and his current self!
