Chapter 721: Lu Wenhou is powerful

"Oil!" A cloud ladder was set up on the city wall, countless Cao troops climbed along the cloud ladder towards the city head, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd, and after a halberd picked a cloud ladder out of the city, he shouted to the Xuzhou soldiers on the city wall.

The Xuzhou soldiers at the head of the city received the order to splash boiling oil, and many people hurriedly lifted the oil pot and poured a pot of boiling oil towards the ladder.

A soldier of the Cao army had just climbed up the city along the ladder and was about to jump onto the city wall, when two Xuzhou soldiers carrying the oil pot splashed the boiling oil in the oil pot on his head and face.

was jumping towards the city, and the boiling oil was splashed in front of him, and the soldiers of the Cao army had no time to dodge, so they were splashed squarely.

With a miserable howl, the skin on his face and body was suddenly burned, and he turned over and fell from the city.

The splashes of hot oil rained down the city wall, and the Cao army surrounding the city suddenly let out a miserable howl.

A battering ram was pushed by Cao Jun to the city gate, and Cao Jun pushed the stakes of the battering ram hard, hitting the closed city gate.

Countless Xuzhou troops in the city gate used thick wood to resist the city gate with their bodies, hoping to resist the impact of Cao's battering ram.

At the head of the city, several cauldrons full of boiling oil poured down on the Cao army who was pushing the battering ram, and with a miserable howl, the Cao army near the battering ram was immediately scalded to death.

But more Cao Jun then rushed up.

"Torch!" Cao Jun's battering ram was still slamming against the city gate, and Lu Bu at the head of the city let out a loud shout to the soldiers on the side.

The soldier got the order, and hurriedly lit a torch and handed it to Lu Bu.

Holding the torch in his hand, Lu Bu leaned out, saw the place under the city that was already covered with oil stains, and threw the torch down.

The torch fell on the oil stain, and the oil immediately burned, and the raging fire engulfed Cao's army pushing the battering ram in an instant.

The Cao army near the battering ram became a burning man, screaming and running wildly, and some even rushed into the Cao army not far from them.

Throwing torches at the city, Lu Bu was just about to leave the battlements when an arrow flew towards him from the city.

In the earth-shattering sound of fighting, Lu Bu couldn't hear the sound of the arrow breaking through the wind at all, and at the moment when he had just measured his body, the arrow struck him in the shoulder with a "poof".

Hit by an arrow in the shoulder, Lu Bu covered his shoulder, turned his head to look out of the city, and saw that in the Cao army's camp, a little general had just put down his longbow and was also staring at him from afar.

Due to the distance, Lu Bu couldn't see the little general's face clearly, and could only see that the general was not very old, at most about twenty years old.

The little general of Cao Ying, who was holding a longbow and shot Lu Bu with an arrow, looked at Lu Bu at the head of the city, and a piece of loss appeared on his face.

"Wen Lie is good at archery!" As he was looking at the city with a disappointed face, there was a loud shout from behind the little general.

Hearing this shout, the little general hurriedly turned around, only to see Cao Ren riding a war horse behind him, raised his spear and pointed at the city, and said to him: "Wen Lie injured Lu Bu, it is really a great achievement, if Ming Gong knows, he will definitely remember Wen Lie's first merit!" ”

It was Cao Cao's subordinate son Cao Xiu who injured Lu Bu with an arrow.

Cao Xiu and Cao Ang are of the same age, Cao Ang and Cao Ang are also quite compatible when they are not dead, the two often try martial arts together in the past, although they are Cao Cao's nephew, but Cao Cao has always regarded him as a son.

At this time, it was Cao Xiu who led the army to attack the city, and seeing that the soldiers could not attack for a long time, he was anxious, and happened to see Lu Bu throwing torches outside the city gate, so he put an arrow on the bowstring and shot an arrow at Lu Bu.

He originally wanted to shoot Lu Bu with one arrow, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to turn around at the most critical moment and only hit Lu Bu's arm.

was annoyed by himself, and after hearing Cao Ren's praise, Cao Xiu hurriedly turned his head and bowed to Cao Ren and said: "General, the last general is willing to lead the tiger and leopard to ride forward to attack the city, and he will definitely stop and surrender to Xuzhou!" ”

Hearing that Cao Xiu was going to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack the city, Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said to Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie must not be reckless, the tiger and leopard cavalry is the elite of Ming Gong's painstaking operation for several years and is accustomed to fighting on horseback, and they must not be allowed to go to attack the city!" ”

Determined to break through the city, Cao Ren rejected the request, and a touch of loss flashed on Cao Xiu's face in an instant.

However, he did not beg Cao Ren to hand over the tiger and leopard cavalry to him again, but turned his head and glared at the city wall, carrying a halberd, and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Soldiers, kill with this general!" ”

As soon as the shouting fell, before Cao Ren came to his senses, Cao Xiu had already rushed towards the city wall with a halberd.

By the time Cao Ren wanted to stop Cao Xiu, it was already too late, and Cao Xiu had already led his personal soldiers to rush to the city wall.

Under the banner of Cao Junshuai, Cao Cao was watching the battle situation, and suddenly saw a small general personally leading the soldiers to rush to the city wall, and hurriedly raised his hand and asked, "Who is that?" ”

"Back to Ming Gong, it seems to be General Cao Xiu!" A personal soldier bowed with his fists and replied to Cao Cao.

Hearing that it was Cao Xiu who led the army to rush to the city wall, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Cao Xiu who was rushing towards the city wall, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Beat the drum to help the battle!" Help my Cao family boy attack the city! ”

The pro-soldiers behind him responded, and hurriedly waved a small flag towards the drummer behind the handsome flag.

Given the order to beat the drum, the bare-chested drummer picked up the drumstick and slammed it against the war drum.

Outside the city wall, the war drums sounded, and the drums sounded like a life-urging spell, making the Cao army besieging the city more and more crazy, one by one, as if they were in a hurry to go to the ghost gate, and launched a fierce attack on the city wall.

was shot in the arm by an arrow, Lu Bu ripped off the arrow, tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, and wrapped it tightly around his arm.

Seeing that the young general of the Cao army, who shot and wounded him, led his own soldiers to rush to the city wall, Lu Bu glared at him, pressed the battlements with his hands, and jumped out of the city wall.

The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army who followed Lu Bu to guard the head of the city, saw Lu Bu jumping out of the city wall alone, first looked at Lu Bu who jumped out of the city with a stunned face, and then they were like chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was instantly high, and they fought with the Cao army who was only in the city.

The Cao army under the city didn't expect Lu Bu to jump down from the high city wall, and the more than 100 Cao soldiers nearby were just stunned, and they were killed by Lu Bu wielding Fang Tian's halberd.

Cao Xiu, who led his own soldiers and wanted to go to the city in person, also didn't expect Lu Bu to jump off the city wall alone, but he was full of courage, and it can be seen that Lu Bu was so strong that he was half cowardly at first.

The city wall of Xuzhou is tall, if it is an ordinary person, Mo said that he jumped off the city wall and continued to fight, even if he jumped off the city wall and did not fall to his death, I am afraid that he would break two legs.

Lu Bu jumped off the city wall, just stepped on the pile of corpses, the soft flesh of the corpse became the best meat pad, jumping on the corpse, Lu Bu just squatted on the ground, and then roared and rushed towards Cao Xiu.

"General be careful!" Looking at Lu Bu who was rushing towards him, Cao Xiu was still in a daze, and the soldiers on the side were already in a hurry, and hurriedly protected him in the middle.

Who is Lu Bu?

Where did more than 100 pro-soldiers help him!

The halberd in his hand flew over, and Lu Bu rushed to Cao Xiu's approach, and a group of Cao Xiu's own soldiers just caught up with him, and he split a piece.

Seeing that Lu Bu had killed his own soldiers, Cao Xiu waved his halberd and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, but before he could pick the halberd, there was a pain under his feet, and Lu Bu's painted halberd rod hit his ankle hard.

With a flick of his feet, Cao Xiu's balance suddenly lost and he fell to the ground.

Until he was overturned by Lu Bu's halberd, he still couldn't believe it in his heart, he couldn't even pass in front of Lu Bu!

Knocked Cao Xiu to the ground with a halberd, and Lu Bu carried the halberd to Cao Xiu's chest.

But his halberd was pierced, not because Cao Xiu dodged before being hit by the halberd, but because Cao Xiu's two personal soldiers disregarded their lives and dragged Cao Xiu out of the coffin at the moment when Lu Bu raised the halberd.

"Protect the General!" The two pro-soldiers rescued Cao Xiu and dragged him away, and the rest of the pro-soldiers let out a shout in unison and rushed up towards Lu Bu.

In the distance, under Cao Ying's tent, Cao Cao saw Lu Bu jump off the city wall, and hurriedly ordered the army to attack and kill Lu Bu.

Cao Cao's army had advanced on all fronts, and Lu Bu knew that he would definitely suffer if he delayed under the city for a long time, so after picking up a piece of Cao Xiu's own soldiers, he jumped over to the nearest ladder with a halberd.

There were still many Cao troops under the cloud ladder, and these Cao troops were climbing towards the city wall, and they didn't expect Lu Bu to kill from behind, but they were knocked down in an instant.

Climbing along the ladder to the top, a soldier of the Cao Army above Lu Bu was climbing to the city wall, but when he saw Lu Bu suddenly jumping up from below, he was already stupid and frightened, and he was neither down nor up on the ladder.

The soldiers of the Cao army were spontaneously stunned, and their ankles were suddenly grabbed by Lu Bu.

Immediately afterward, he felt an irresistible force exert an effect on his body, throwing him off the ladder and falling to the ground below the city.

"Knock down the ladder!" Lu Bu was rapidly climbing towards the city wall, and a shout came from under his feet.

Hearing this shout, he climbed faster and faster.

Seeing that it was only two or three steps away from the city, the ladder shook suddenly, and the Cao army below had already moved the ladder and was about to push it to the side.

Before he had time to think about it, Lu Bu's hand-held halberd on the ladder jumped, and before the ladder fell, his left hand grabbed the battlement.

Picking at the battlements with one hand and the halberd in the other, Lu Bu glared at the city, and the Cao army under the city immediately retreated a lot in fear.

Several Xuzhou soldiers saw Lu Bu hanging on the battlements, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and dragged him up to the city wall.

As soon as he got up the city wall, Lu Bu saw Chen Gong running towards him quickly.

Seeing Chen Gong, Lu Bu knew that if he was caught, he would be killed, so he hurriedly turned his head and ran towards the city wall on the other side, shouting to the Xuzhou army at the head of the city while running: "Defend the city, don't let the Cao army come up half!" ”
