Chapter 33: Soldiers Descend on the City

"Xuzhou, stable?"

"Are you sure you heard me right?" When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, he looked confused.

What does this phrase mean? Does it mean that Xuzhou's defense is safe?

Is Liu Xie's brain broken, obviously he is coming to attack Xuzhou, but he wants to say that Xuzhou is defended safely, so isn't he admitting defeat in disguise?

"Waste is waste after all, the luck of the Han is exhausted, the Son of Heaven is nothing more than an empty shell, just wait for me Lu Bu to grasp the opportunity, I can reach the top in one fell swoop and seal Mount Tai!"

Lu Bu shook his head with a sneer, his eyes revealing the long-awaited ambition.

Following Ding Yuan, recognized Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, formed an alliance with Wang Yun, and after several twists and turns, he finally came to Xuzhou.

Sure enough, the surname Liu can't do it.

"Wenhou, the emperor has made frequent strange moves recently, and Liangzhou has been breached, no matter what, we should still be cautious in this battle."

Although Chen Gong couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Xie's words, he always had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and carefully reminded Lu Budao.

"It's okay, I have asked Zhang Liao to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to guard in Fengjun, and form a corner with Xiapi, coordinate defense, and take care of each other."

"Besides, Xiao Pei and Liu Bei are stationed there, if Liu Xie'er goes straight to Xuzhou, he will definitely pass by Xiao Pei."

"If he fights Xiaopei first, I will lead the army out of the city, and I will copy it from behind, and all the enemies who will attack in the future will be annihilated in Xiaopei."

"If he doesn't fight Xiaopei, Liu will be ordered by Yuan Shao, and he will definitely cut off his back road, and then he will not be able to advance or retreat, and he will be besieged here."

Although Lu Bu was born as a martial artist, he had followed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, both of whom were generals who commanded the army, and he was no stranger to the art of war, and even had his own opinions, especially between the arrangement of troops.

Up to this moment, he did not send a single soldier, but only deployed his troops slightly, and it was like forming a net of heaven and earth, waiting for the invading enemy to drill into it by himself.

"Wen Hou is far-sighted, everything is under Wen Hou's control." Chen Gong also greatly appreciated Lu Bu's deployment.

"Brother Gongtai is polite, if it weren't for your guidance, how could Lu Bu have such a deployment, the safety of Xuzhou is all tied to Brother Gongtai, haha!"

Lu Bu said, patting Chen Gong on the shoulder.

"Gongtai will not dare to insult Wenhou's expectations, Xuzhou City is here, Chen Palace is here, Xuzhou City is dead, Chen Palace is dead!"

Chen Gong's gaze was firm, looking directly in the direction of Xu Du.

Out of the boundary of Xudu, after a distance, you can see the location of Xuzhou in the distance.

"General, the front is the boundary of Xuzhou, where to attack first in this campaign?"

The pioneer officer came to Xiang Yuma and asked.

Before leaving, Cao Cao had told him to instruct the 50,000 elite soldiers to wait for the attack, and that they did not have to take the lead in charging and attacking the city, and that they must be active in defending and retreating.

After Xiang Yu took over 50,000 elite soldiers, it only took three days to establish a strong prestige in the army, somehow, this vanguard officer didn't want to follow Cao Cao's instructions, and asked Xiang Yu's opinion in everything first, as if he had already regarded Xiang Yu as the commander.

"Go straight to Lu Bu's camp tent and get down!"

Xiang Yu's face was expressionless, and his voice was low and powerful.

"But general, not far ahead is Xiaopei at the junction of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, Liu Bei's men and horses are stationed here, if we go straight to Xiapi, I am afraid that they will cut off the back road."

The vanguard officer hesitated.

"Liu Bei is not in the eyes of this king, this king is only here to meet Lu Bu for a while!"

Xiang Yu's tone was firm, interrupting the vanguard officer.

"Give the order to go down, speed up the march, and in an hour, the soldiers will descend!"

"Those who fail to arrive beyond the time will be killed!"

The momentum is majestic and does not allow anyone to refute it in the slightest.

"Yes!" The pioneer officer had no choice but to quickly give the order.

In just three days, he already understood the commander's methods of governing the army, and he really did what he said and forbidden.

If none of the 50,000 elite soldiers could reach Xiapi City after an hour, the vanguard officer believed that the overlord of Chu could really kill all the 50,000 elite soldiers.

And looking at the posture of the overlord of Chu, he didn't seem to expect these 50,000 elite soldiers in this battle at all, as if he could capture Xuzhou alone.

Such a method of marching and fighting is unheard of.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yu can quickly establish his prestige in the army.

…………

An hour later, when I went down to Pi City, there was suddenly dust in the sky, and people and horses neighed.

After Lu Bugang and Chen Gong finished inspecting the defensive deployment, they left the city wall and returned to the camp, but they suddenly heard the earth-shattering roar outside.

"What's going on out there?" Lu Bu called a pro-soldier and asked loudly.

"Qi Qi Wenhou, who came to crusade against the besieging army, suddenly came, and the soldiers came to the city."

The pro-soldier replied tremblingly.

"What?!"

Lu Bu was shocked and glanced at Chen Gong.

From each other's eyes, they saw a look of disbelief and shock.

An hour ago, they received a report from the spies that the enemy had just left Xudu, and they had come to Xiapi so soon?

What are these spies doing, an army of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they can't even understand a trace!

"Hurry up and check it out!" Lu Bu's buttocks didn't sit hot, so he quickly got up.

Chen Gong followed, and the two of them ran towards the city gate.

Outside the city of Xiapi, 50,000 elite soldiers suddenly arrived, and a large area of black pressure was overwhelming.

"Lu Bu Xiao'er, come out to see me!"

Among the three armies, a bearded commander sat on his horse and shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the thunder rolled in the sky, and it exploded directly outside Xiapi City, driving gusts of strong air currents, and the clouds in the air seemed to be fluctuating, fleeing quickly, and the ground under his feet trembled.

Lu Bu hurried slowly, just came to the bottom of the city wall, and when he heard this loud shout, his heart was shocked, and his face changed suddenly.

"Who is this? It's so loud! ”

Chen Gong, who was following behind him, was not as good as Lu Bu in cultivation, and his mind was directly dizzy, his ears were swollen, and he only felt that the roar next to his ears was continuous, buzzing.

Lu Bu climbed the city wall, climbed high and looked into the distance, looked down, stared at Xiang Yu among the three armies, his face was not good, "Is this the person who shouted just now?" ”

"Exactly." The voices of the defenders on the city walls have changed.

Dozens of people were directly stunned by the sound of loud shouting, and those who didn't faint were also shocked by the confusion and confusion of their minds.

"Lu Bu Xiao'er, come out and fight!"

Just as Lu Bu was staring at Xiang Yu, he suddenly saw Xiang Yu open his mouth and take a deep breath, and he drank again.

Two slam drinks in a row have used the talent of innate divine power, and ordinary people can't bear it at all.

"Ahh

The defenders on the city wall hugged their heads and shouted, their faces full of pain.

"Wen Hou, this person is afraid of witchcraft, don't go out of the city easily." Chen Gong also wanted to vomit uncomfortably, his face was pale, and he carried a trace of true qi, forcibly suppressed the qi and blood surging in his chest, and persuaded Lu Bu.
