533. Lujiang City Break

They couldn't take care of each other at the beginning and end, although Cheng Pu brought people to the city to supervise the battle, but because of Sun Jing's disappearance, the people in the city were panicked.

The morale of the soldiers guarding the city also plummeted, and all were powerless. Cheng Pu was anxious to see that the Qi army had already rushed up. He did not care about the danger and personally led the soldiers to fight and stabilized the situation.

But this was just a tentative attack. As the Qi army gathered again, the offensive this time was more fierce than the last time. More and more soldiers of Qi army rushed to the top of the city, and Cheng Pu really couldn't hold on.

At the critical moment, Cheng Pu shouted: "Set the fire!"

As the shouts sounded, a sudden fire broke out on the top of the city. It turned out that Cheng Pu had prepared the turmeric oil for a long time. When he saw that it was not good, he ordered someone to light it and pushed the barrel to the ground.

Three large oil barrels burned and rolled over the city, and the fire spread instantly. The Qi army, who had already gained the advantage, were forced to retreat from the city.

When Cheng Pu saw the Qi army retreat, he felt a little relieved. At this moment, a soldier ran to Cheng Pu and shouted: "Report to General, I have found the third general."

"Really! Take me there!" Cheng Pu was overjoyed when he heard this. If he took advantage of the efforts of Qi army to retreat and saved Sun Jing, perhaps Lujiang City could still be defended here.

Without hesitation, Cheng Pu personally led the soldiers with two hundred people to the west of the city.

"The general is right in front!" The soldier pointed to a alley and said to Cheng Pu.

"Good head to lead the way, everyone behind me has followed!" Cheng Pu said that, followed the soldiers into the alley.

The alley is more than 300 meters long. Seeing Cheng Pu bringing two hundred Wu troops into the alley, a sudden sound of chung sounded.

Cheng Pu felt a sense of coldness from his feet. Before he could think, he suddenly moved forward and reached out to grab the soldiers leading the way.

Just as he jumped away, the sound of bowstrings kept ringing. Countless sharp arrows shot down from the walls on both sides of the alley. The soldiers of Wu army were caught off guard, and dozens of people were all shot and fell to the ground.

Cheng Pu also shot two sharp arrows at the position he had just stood, but because he jumped away in time, he did not hurt Cheng Pu at all. Cheng Pu had already fully understood that he had fallen into a trap.

He didn't care about the other Cheng Pu's grasp of the soldier who led the way. How could this soldier be willing to be captured? He turned his body violently and rushed towards Cheng Pu's belly with a knife.

At such a close distance, this person's sword was so sudden. It is said that Cheng Pu could not avoid it, but at the same time the soldier's sword, Cheng Pu felt an arrow shot from behind.

He didn't want to be shot by a cold arrow, so he let go and jumped away. He knew that this subconscious action saved his life and allowed him to avoid the desperate knife.

He avoided it, but the soldier who used the sword did not expect that Cheng Pu jumped to the side and shot a sharp arrow in front of him. At this time, he wanted to hide again, but he could no longer dodge it.

"Ah!" screamed, and the soldier was caught in an arrow in his forehead. He screamed and fell to the ground with his back to the sky. He could not die anymore.

Cheng Pu escaped by chance, but when he looked back, he saw that the two hundred people he brought had been reduced by half. However, the archers on the walls on both sides were still firing arrows.

At this moment, he couldn't retreat when he retreated, so Cheng Pu had to grit his teeth and run to the front to kill. Behind him, the rest of the people also ran forward desperately.

However, everything he did proved was futile. Cheng Pu ran to the depths of the alley, where there was a corner. When Cheng Pu couldn't wait to rush over, he suddenly stopped consciously.

It turned out that after the corner, there were a row of men in black standing. They all held a crossbow and stared at Cheng Pu with a vigilant look on their faces. As long as he moved slightly, he would be penetrated by sharp arrows in an instant.

"General Cheng, my military advisor asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!" A man in the black clothes said with a smile when he saw Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu was angry after hearing this, but he didn't dare to move. Cheng Pu was captured accidentally, which directly led to no one defending Lujiang City. In this way, after the fire on the city disappeared, Qi Jun took down this important town in Jiangbei with just one charge.

The news that Lujiang City was broken was spread to Sun Quan's ears as if it had grown wings.

When he learned that his younger brother and Cheng Pu were captured, Sun Quan sat at the table speechless for a long time.

"Lord, please order all the troops from Jiangbei to withdraw. The next decisive battle will be fought on the Eastern Wu side." Pang Tong came to Sun Quan at some time and said.

After hearing this, Sun Quan came to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shi Yuan, do you think Gu really beat Liu Bei?"

"Lord, it seems like three points today, but Cao Wei is no longer able to turn the world around. Only the lord can compete with Liu Bei. If the lord retreats, the world will be afraid of falling into Liu Bei's hands." After Pang Tong said that, he stood aside without saying a word.

After hearing this, Sun Quan looked up and looked at Pang Tong again. He saw that he still had that ugly face, and his heart suddenly became much stronger. "Yes! Only Gu in the world can stop Liu Bei's pace. If you want the world to be with you, you can think of whether Gu or not to agree."
