Chapter 533: The Battle for the City Gate
In Puyang City, the fire was raging, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
At the head of the city, Yin Li, who had surrendered to the thieves of Lu Bujun and Taishan, was attacking the west city wall from the north and south city walls. It is hoped that the West Gate can be recaptured, and the enemy's retreat can be cut off.
Inside the city, just in front of the west gate, Cao Jun had already confronted Lu Bujun.
Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan were beside Lu Bu, and Song Xian and Hao Meng were encircling and suppressing the scattered Cao army in the city.
Chen Gong also came, he took a closer look, and said: "Lord, the Qin army did not enter the city, it must be because after Cao Cao was ambushed, he did not send the army in." ”
In fact, at this time, due to the failure to include the Qin army in this ambush and the failure to occupy the West Gate, Chen Gong's strategy had already failed by half. But it was also half the success, after all, Cao Cao's brigade of soldiers and horses was folded in the city.
Since the plan failed to succeed, Lu Bu asked: "Gongtai, what should I do now?" ”
Chen Gong also said, "Lord, the Qin army has not entered the city, this is a variable, recapture the west gate as soon as possible, and control the city defense." ”
Since Lü Bu's army did not occupy the West Gate, and the West Gate did not catch fire, the reserve forces of the Qin and Cao coalition forces were able to continuously support through the West Gate. This is different from the original design of Chen Palace, the more and more enemy troops enter the city, there will be the danger of losing the city again.
As the army gathered, Lu Bu raised his halberd, "All the armies follow me forward, and those who kill Cao Cao or Qin Feng will be rewarded with a thousand gold." ”
Lu Bu took the lead, and rushed out without the courage of others.
At this moment, the two ends of the narrow street were densely packed with soldiers from both sides. Cao's army was in the west, and Lü Bu's army was in the east.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and with Lu Bu's leading soldiers, the already high morale of Lu Bu's army was completely ignited. The walls trembled and fell dust under the thunderous shouts of Lu Bujun, and the soldiers followed in the footsteps of Lu Bu Wuyong and began to storm the defense line of Cao Jun.
"Lay down the shield array! The archers at the head of the city are ready to release their arrows and shoot the enemy archers first. ”
Under the command of Qin Feng, Cao Jun was also full of fighting spirit and was ready to fight. Not long ago, Qin Feng's dominance stabilized the military spirit of the Cao army here. Only then did these Cao troops not fall into the shadow of the defeat of the lord Cao Cao.
"Whoa! Prepare to fend off the enemy! "The officers of the various departments answered with a loud voice.
For a while, Cao Jun listened to Qin Feng's command, and Cao Cao, the lord, became a bystander.
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned black as ink.
Lü Bu became the first to come into contact with Cao's defenses, and when the Red Rabbit Horsemen stood up, Cao Bing showed fear.
Peng~, his hooves were like hammers, and the three-layer shield array was kicked open a gap. Lu Bu looked disdainful on the horse, wielding a halberd, and wanted to enlarge this gap. However, a huge shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Get out of here!"
Peng~, the huge shield hit the chest of the red rabbit horse directly. The red rabbit horse plus Lu Bu weighs nearly eight hundred catties. The front hooves of the red rabbit were directly knocked up, and his body rotated ninety degrees, followed by a lateral shift of more than three meters away, before stopping the horse's steps.
Dian Wei thrust the giant shield into the ground with a bang, and said to Cao Bing around: "Don't be afraid, Lu Bu is nothing remarkable. "The morale of the soldiers was boosted.
"Damn!" Lu Bu didn't expect that the inevitable breakthrough would be resolved by Dian Wei in this way.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers of the Lu army ran in front of Lu Bu, and the entire front began the most brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat.
Cao Jun's shield array played a huge role in the garrison, and Lu Bu's army could not break through the shield array for a while, and could not cause damage to the enemy inside. And the Cao army, on the contrary, can cooperate between the shield arrays, through the gaps, and the enemy army is defeated in an instant.
"Ready to release the arrows, release the arrows!" Chen Gong urged the archers behind the formation, hoping to help the infantry open the enemy's shield array through the rain of arrows.
Who knows, the arrows at the head of the city are raining down, and the Cao army is condescending, but he can easily harvest the lives of the archers of the Lu Bu army.
Qin Feng's arrangement was very appropriate, making it difficult for Lu Bujun to advance an inch. However, Cao Jun's combat effectiveness was also perfectly reflected at this moment. When the enemy suffered an absolute blow, the morale of Cao's army gradually increased.
Blood, completely permeated at the west gate, blood, flowing sideways on the ground. And on the front line of contact between the two sides, the corpses were densely packed, with stumps and broken arms, and internal organs everywhere. It's hell, and the faint-hearted can be scared to death when they see it from afar.
However, the only thing left in the midst of it is madness.
In this kind of large-scale hand-to-hand combat, the personal force of the generals has become small.
It seems that Lu Bu was excluded from the battle line for a while, and there is no place for him, "Damn, Qin Zijin, there is a kind of one-on-one confrontation with me." The situation seemed to be unfavorable to Lu Bu, making him say something unnutritious.
The two sides were more than fifty paces apart, and because they were on horses, they could see each other clearly.
Qin Feng was cold, "Lu Bu, although you successfully ambushed my brother-in-law...... ”
Cao Cao's face darkened for a while when he heard this, and he was ashamed.
"But you took the initiative to hand over the West Gate." Qin Feng turned the golden spear in his hand and emitted a golden light, "Here, it will become our bridgehead to retake Puyang, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, it will be your demise." ”
"Okay, that's great." Cao Cao was very relieved, and said in his heart that Zi was a good hand in attacking, and when he said this, Lu Bu did not desperately mobilize all his forces to attack the defense line. When the time comes, as soon as the ambush comes out, Lu Bu will be killed.
Qin Feng said this, sure enough, for this, these words were sonorous and powerful, Lu Bu's forehead was bruised, and his hand clutched the halberd.
In fact, Qin Feng has two hands to prepare, if Lu Bu is not at this moment, go all out. When the day dawns, Qin Feng will seize the whole city step by step. With his cavalry out, Lü Bu's army withdrew from the city and died faster.
The reason why Chen Gong said that Lu Bu went all out was that he was afraid that Qin Feng and Cao Cao would use the West Gate as a breakthrough.
Now it seems that Chen Gong's strategy has become to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, but who would have thought that as soon as Qin Feng entered the city, he would clean up the Tian clan who had made a "great contribution", and did not give the Tian clan the slightest time to set fire.
"Qin Zijin was too cunning, he didn't rush in like Cao Cao. But it was ...... a solid line of defense was established at the West Gate, how did the Tian people show their stuffing? Chen Gong was ashamed, he had calculated everything, but when he came to Qin Feng's side, it was all in vain.
In fact, Cao Ren had also asked the Tian people to hand over control of Ximen, but he was not as tough as Qin Feng. When Qin Feng became tough, the Tian people were forced to be exposed under pressure. This allowed the West Gate not to cause a fire, and Qin Feng successfully established a solid defense line at the West Gate.
"What now?" Even Lu Bu began to panic.
What should I do now, instead of multiple choices, Chen Gong immediately said: "Lord, it is very unfavorable to our army after dawn, and we must recapture the West Gate before dawn." ”
This was the only option, and Lu Bu didn't care about encircling and suppressing the remnants of Cao's army in the city. He immediately sent orders to Song Xian and Hao Meng to bring troops to help.
Half an hour later, the fighting stopped. But more and more Lu Bu's soldiers and horses arrived, and gradually all 15,000 soldiers and horses came to the Ximen area. Another 5,000 men were on standby on the north and south walls, preparing to launch a counteroffensive against the western city head at the same time. (To be continued.) )
