Chapter 81 Fiasco
The sound of war drums rang out quickly, and a strong wind sound came from all directions. The Yuan Shu army officers and soldiers surrounded by the main street immediately turned over and over, and the screams were heard! It turned out that the Lu Bu army on the roofs around were attacking with crossbows! The bows and arrows were continuously shooting, and the Yuan Shu army officers and soldiers who had nowhere to hide were all shot and fell to the ground, and their bodies were stacked together in layers of layers! The Yuan Shu army officers and soldiers were frightened and retreated to the city gate. They pushed and shoved each other and were almost unable to move. The crossbowmen of the Yuan Shu army counterattacked the Lu Bu army, but these sporadic counterattacks were effective in the heights of the house!
A dense array of guns formed by spearmen rushed up and pushed towards Yuan Shu's army! I saw flesh and blood flying, and Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers were stabbed to the ground in rows. The spearmen stepped on the bodies of Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers, and kept moving forward. Every time they went further, a row or even more Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers screamed and fell to the ground! Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers wanted to fight back, but the swords and guns in their hands were far less than the opponent's spear. The result of the counterattack was that they were pierced by the opponent's spear and screamed and fell into the pile of blood pools; I wanted to escape, but the army was crowded on the street and could hardly move, so I could run away! The spear formation was like a terrible killing machine that was harvesting the lives of Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers at their own pace! Layers of corpses filled the streets, and blood flooded the ditches on both sides!
At the same time, crossbowmen at high places were also shooting continuously, and Yuan Shujun, who was surrounded, was almost at the slaughter of others and had no power to fight back!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Ling urgently ordered the army to retreat. In fact, Yuan Shu's army had already retreated outside the city gate. At this time, he heard Ji Ling's shouting, and retreating immediately turned into a great defeat. Everyone turned around and ran out of the city, just trying to escape from this terrible place. Many people fell to the ground and were trampled by countless companions before they could get up. In the end, they did not die under the swords and guns of Lu Bujun, but died at the feet of their own people.
At this time, the rhythm of the war drums of Lu Bu's army slowed down, but the sound was very loud, like bursts of thunder.
When Lu Bu's army heard the drum sound, he shouted loudly, rushed out from all directions and rushed into Yuan Shu's army, as if he had entered a no-man's land. At this moment, the morale of Yuan Shu's army had completely collapsed, and everyone was scrambling to escape. In order to escape, they would not hesitate to push their comrades blocking their way to the ground, as long as they could escape! The killing sound and shrill screams, the scene was in chaos!
Lu Bu's army chased the fleeing Yuan Shu army out of the city gate, and the remaining Yuan Shu army ran wildly towards the southeast. The killing Lu Bu's army refused to give up and pursued him relentlessly until he heard the sound of the golden bell sounding on the city gate tower, and then stopped chasing and retreated back to the city.
The battle was over, and the corpses were piled up on the streets. This time, Ji Ling was unable to leave the rice. The 50,000 army lost 30,000, and only 20,000 defeated soldiers and generals escaped in a hurry. But how could Chen Gong know that Ji Ling would lead a large army to raid Xuzhou? In fact, this was not what Chen Gong thought, but what Jia Xu thought of. As soon as Jia Xu learned that Yuan Shu used the trick of striking the west to attack the east, Cai actually led 200,000 main army to raid Huai'an, he immediately realized that Ji Ling had
After hearing this news, he would inevitably think that Xuzhou's troops were empty and were fully dispatched to attack Xuzhou, so he asked Ailang to write an order to remind Chen Gong. Chen Gong received Ailang's order and immediately prepared. Therefore, Ji Ling's army came tonight and fell into the trap set by Chen Gong. Although the army successfully entered the city, it was trapped in the complex terrain in the city and was surrounded by Lu Bu's army, which was less than half of them. After a fierce battle, the remaining troops fled in a panic.
Chen Gong watched the soldiers clean the battlefield, and a commander rushed to Chen Gong to report: "Sir, General Hou Cheng has seized Xiao Pei as planned, and ordered his subordinates to come and report." It turned out that Chen Gong expected that Ji Ling would go out in full swing, so he ordered Hou Cheng to lead three thousand men to sneak into Xiao Pei's vicinity. Just when Ji Ling's army entered Xuzhou, Hou Cheng also raided Xiao Pei. The difference is that Xiao Pei's only one thousand Yuan Shu defenders were defenseless. The three thousand men led by Hou Cheng rushed into the city and immediately became in chaos. Some of them were killed, and the rest were either captured or escaped from the south gate.
Chen Gong smiled slightly and said, "Tell General Hou Cheng to guard Xiao Pei carefully and not be careless." The messenger Ying Nuo ran down with a loud voice.
Chen Gong said to another messenger: "Report the situation here immediately to the general!" The messenger shouted and hurried away.
Ailang led an army of 90,000 on the plain, and opposite was a army of 200,000 led by Yuan Shu. The army of both sides wanted to confront each other for several miles, and the scene was silent, with only the strong sound of the wind blowing the flags and the occasional eagle roar from the sky! The air seemed to have solidified, and the strong murderous aura made people almost unable to breathe!
Yuan Shu, wearing golden armor and red robe, immediately under the banner, looked proudly at Lu Bu in the distance, and shouted: "Lu Bu is a man! I have 200,000 troops here, so why don't you dismount and surrender quickly! If you wait for a moment, my 200,000 troops will crush you and your subordinates into powder!" The 200,000 troops let out a shout, with a majestic momentum and was indeed thrilling.
Ailang laughed and said, "Yuan Shu, please brag in front of me! I don't take your material seriously at all! Not to mention 200,000, even one million, in my eyes, it's just one million pigs!" The soldiers of Lu Bu's army couldn't help laughing.
Yuan Shu was furious and shouted, "Lu Bu is a common man! He bullied people too much!" He originally wanted to curse back, but in his rage, he couldn't think of any vicious words that could overwhelm the other party! Yuan Shu just wanted to kill Lu Bu, and immediately wanted to order his generals to challenge him! Then he thought that Lu Bu could not be defeated by his generals? The eighteen princes under Hulao Pass were helpless!
At this time, General Yang said, "My lord, don't fight against Lu Bu in an impulse! Our army has an absolute advantage in military strength. Please order the army to attack!"
Yuan Shu nodded, immediately pulled out his sword, raised it high, and shouted: "Those who capture Lu Bu alive will receive ten thousand taels of gold!" When Yuan Shu's soldiers heard this, everyone's eyes shone and their morale was greatly boosted.
