Chapter 20 Temptation
"Dongdongdongdongdong~"
The north wind was like a knife, raging ruthlessly on the head of Xia Pi City, which was biting cold, but even colder, but the hearts of the people at this moment.
The war was approaching, but Lu Bu's figure did not appear on the city wall as before to encourage them to fight. Seeing that Cao's army had gathered into a formation and was ready to attack the city at any time, the generals from all sides were already in place, but Lu Bu, who would have appeared here in every battle in the past, did not appear, which made all the soldiers feel indescribable, as if they were empty in their hearts!
Zhang Liao and Taishici naturally noticed the wrong morale. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Although Lu Bu rarely manages specific things in the army on weekdays, he has too much spiritual significance. Even if Zhang Liao and Taishici, who are now in charge of city defense, are not bad, they are ultimately inferior to Lu Bu's influence in the Xuzhou army.
Not long after, Chen Gong was ordered to come up to assist Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci in the battle.
"Military advisor, the atmosphere has become a little depressed before the battle has begun. This battle may be difficult to fight!" Zhang Liao sighed and looked at Chen Gong beside him and said.
"No matter how difficult it is, it is not as dangerous as the battle of the lord riding alone to seize the flag a few days ago. Today, the city must be kept in front of you. Without the lord around you, this is the time to take the skills of the two of you." Chen Gong looked at the two and said with a smile.
In fact, whether Zhang Liao or Taishi Ci, they all led their troops alone under Lu Bu. If it weren't for the loss of most of Xuzhou this time, these people wouldn't have gathered together. It wasn't that if Lu Bu really didn't have war, they wouldn't have fought. But at this moment, Lu Bu had a huge significance for the soldiers of Xia Pi. At this moment, Lu Bu was not here, which naturally affected morale.
But for the two, there was no big problem, would you adjust your mentality? When Lu Bu took them, the first lesson was how to adjust your mentality, and the people around him.
As everyone returned to their place and was preparing to fight the enemy, they saw that Cao's army had finished their formation and did not immediately attack the city. In front of Cao's army, they saw Xu Chu suddenly left the formation and came straight towards the city wall.
Here comes!
Zhang Liao and Chen Gong looked at each other. As Cao Cao's personal guard general, Xu Chu ran to the city when the battle was about to come. Although he had not spoken yet, he must have tried to let the soldiers in the city discover the problem of Lu Bu's absence.
"It seems that the lord is right. This time the lord is unconscious, it must be related to Cao's army." Chen Gong sneered.
While he was talking, he saw Xu Chu riding his horse to the city. He did not carry weapons, but carried a shield and swept the arrows shot from time to time from time to time. When he reached the top of the city thirty steps, Xu Chu finally stopped, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly at the top of the city: "Where is Lu Bu? Do you dare to go out of the city to fight me!?"
Xu Chu's voice was already thick, and at this moment he was almost shouting with all his might. The sound shook the sky, and even the city wall seemed to be shaking, and faint fine powder was shaken from the city wall.
After Xu Chu finished shouting, he felt a little unconfident. After all, just three days ago, they were fighting all the way out from the chaos. The five top generals of the world surrounded their opponents and were almost broken by others. At this moment, even though the other one said that Lu Bu was dead, Xu Chu was still feeling a little worried.
If Lu Bu suddenly came out at this time, he would be the only one of them, he would really not be able to stop Lu Bu.
Zhang Liao looked at the soldiers who were gradually becoming chaotic and uneasy nearby and sighed in his heart. The timing was really accurate. The soldiers guarding the city had already noticed that Lu Bu was not there. At this time, Xu Chu came out to ask for the generals. If Lu Bu didn't even respond, it would naturally be even more strange.
However, it was necessary to have this effect. Zhang Liao slapped the female wall and was about to say something, but Taishi Ci on the other side took action first. However, on the female wall, Taishi Ci took the bow and arrow and shot out nine arrows in a very short time. The nine arrows were not connected into a straight line, but fell from nine stars falling from the sky to Xu Chu from nine directions. Xu Chu's retreat was almost covered by these nine arrows.
"Good arrow technique!" Seeing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but slamming the high-end. Except for Lu Bu, under Lu Bu, if Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci were the best, they were the best, but who was stronger and weak, and they each had their own opinions. But as for Taishi Ci's arrow today, no one could shoot in the world.
Seeing this, Xu Chu quickly raised his shield, protected most of his body, and blocked all seven arrows. He also knew that there were many arrow masters under Lu Bu's command, so when he came out of the formation, he was not his big sword, but a big shield. At this moment, even if an arrow master like Taishi Ci was not easy to shoot him.
However, although he avoided most of the sharp arrows, there were still two that could not be blocked. One arrow went straight to his thigh, and the other arrow went straight to the horse where Xu Chu sat down.
Xu Chu raised his shield to block most of the arrow clusters, but also blocked his vision and perception. Without checking at this moment, his thigh first hurt, and then sat down and the horse was directly penetrated by a sharp arrow. With a long neigh, the man stood up.
Xu Chu rolled down from the horse's back in a little embarrassed manner, snorted angrily, broke the shield in his hand in half, looked up at the city wall and shouted: "Shameless rats, have the courage to go down to the city to fight. What kind of hero is this kind of hidden arrow??"
On the city wall, Taishi Ci took back the longbow and looked at Xu Chu and laughed: "Xu Zhongkang, you can't even catch me with an arrow. How can you have the courage to provoke my lord? If I remember correctly, not long ago, you five of you joined forces to besiege my lord, and my lord killed the flag of the handsome boy. You came here alone today and said shamelessly to challenge my lord? Even if you want to use a plan, you should be smarter. Could you come up with such a clumsy plan? Hahahaha~"
Xu Chu was not good at talking, but at this moment, he was squeezed by Taishi Ci, and his face turned red with anger. For a moment, he forgot everything he did. He threw away the shield in his hand, took off the sword from the horse's back and pointed it at Taishi Ci, and shouted angrily: "Taishi Ci, I recognize you, dare to come down..."
"Shoot the arrow!" Before he finished speaking, he heard Taishi Ci shouting loudly on the top of the city, but after seeing Xu Chu throwing away his shield, he would not be polite to him. This is a battlefield, and only Xu Chu is a guard of Cao Cao all year round and does not understand the dangers of the battlefield. Such a big flaw, he will naturally fight first.
Looking at the sharp arrows shot from the city wall, Xu Chu's face turned green and roared angrily, directly carrying the dead war horse on his back.
On the frame, Cao Cao, who was watching this scene from afar, sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "Siege the city, bring Zhongkang back."
