Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293
"The three of you rush back to the city wall to garrison as soon as possible. The enemy's vanguard has arrived, and the main force will definitely arrive today. Don't underestimate the enemy!" Looking at the direction Dong Cheng left, Xun Yu said in a deep voice with his back turned to the three of them.

"Lingjun, if that Lu Bu comes to attack, can we still hold it?" Xu Ding was still dissatisfied with letting Dong Cheng go, and this dissatisfaction was passed on to Xun Yu with Dong Cheng's departure. The pessimistic mood of the battle, now Xuchang City does not have as many soldiers and horses as others, and the morale of the army alone cannot be raised, let alone the powerful generals who are dying. Without these generals and low morale, the army is the least It's half gone.

Of course, if defending the city, although the morale of the army is high, compared with attacking the city, there are obviously more favorable factors for defending the city. In addition to the morale of the army, there are also people's hearts that can be used. If the people's hearts are enough, officials in the city who are popular Going into battle, the effect is not worse than that of generals, but today in the city, the front line was defeated first, and the news of Cao Cao's death came back, followed by a large number of people fleeing. Now people are panicking, how much can there be?
After the enemy really enters the city, I am afraid that the Legalists will be useless at that time. The strength of the Legalists' laws depends on how many people are willing to abide by and approve them. The home is also in a state of semi-abandonment.

Cao Cao's death had a great impact on Xuchang.

"The three generals only need to defend the city, and leave the rest to me! You don't need to worry about it!" Xun Yu looked at the three and said solemnly, "Will you trust me?"

"The last general takes orders!" The three nodded in agreement. They were naturally convinced of Xun Yu. Three years ago, Xun Yu single-handedly blocked Lu Bu from Juancheng. But the current situation is too similar to three years ago.

It's a pity that Cao Cao is dead, and they don't know if they can wait for reinforcements.

After bidding farewell to Xun Yu, the three of them quickly returned to their respective defense areas with their troops. As soon as Cao Peng went to the city, he found that there were enemy troops blocked in the city gate.

Although he didn't know who it was, after asking the soldiers what was going on, Cao Peng immediately realized that the person blocking the gate of the city must be an important person from the enemy army, and organized his troops to completely wipe out this army.

However, they sent troops to attack several times, and even sent their own personal guards to fight, but this small group of enemy troops were quite chicken thieves. If they sent few people, they would kill them, and if they sent many people, they would hide in the city gate and hold on.

Dozens of people were guarding the city gate, and the opponent was proficient in battle formation, so he failed to take it down for a long time, and Cao Peng lost a lot of troops instead.

"Bring me kerosene and burn it!" Cao Peng was a little angry. He didn't expect that dozens of people would force them into such a situation. People forced out to shoot.

"Woo~ woo woo~ woo woo~"

Just when Cao Peng was about to mobilize fire oil to kill the opponent, desolate horn sounds seemed to come from the sky. When Cao Peng turned his head to look, he saw the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army in the distance spreading from the end of his vision. .

Cao Peng just glanced back and snorted coldly: "Pour!"

Suddenly, some soldiers carried a hot oil pan to the other end of the city wall, and poured the hot oil on the area outside the city gate.

"scoff~"

The boiling oil fell to the ground, and flames sprang up from time to time. The pungent smell and the lingering smoke made people retreat unconsciously.

Cao Peng came to the city wall, lit a torch and threw it down.

"Bang~"

The torch fell on the boiling oil on the ground, and the flame ignited by the kerosene shot up instantly. The fire was not too big, and naturally it couldn't burn the inside of the city gate, but the smoke was enough to make people uncomfortable, and the rising flame The high temperature brought by it is enough for people hiding in the city gate to drink a pot.

In the city gate, Wei Yan covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, and the rear was sealed, but not much smoke came in, but in the relatively closed space, the temperature suddenly rose, many soldiers were sweating profusely, and some people appeared A condition with difficulty breathing.

Wei Yan hurriedly asked someone to pry open the bluestone on the ground with a weapon, dug out the soil and covered the kerosene, and quickly extinguished the kerosene.

Seeing this, Cao Peng snorted coldly, and this time he asked someone to pour another pot of kerosene and ignite it, and then threw some sundries on top of the fire. In this way, not only the fire burned more vigorously, but also the smoke became thicker. some.

Wei Yan had been prepared for a long time. After the last fire was extinguished, he didn't stop asking people to dig the soil. When he saw the other party pouring oil down again, he immediately covered it with soil. Although part of it was ignited when the torch came down, it was quickly burned Cover up, and when the debris falls, the fire has long been extinguished.

On the tower, Cao Peng felt depressed watching this scene. Although he is not good at leading troops, he is not helpless with dozens of people, right?
"General, the enemy seems to have the intention of attacking the city!" Cao Peng was racking his brains to think of a way to wipe out this group of troops, a general came over and looked at Cao Peng.

Although Cao Peng was angry, seeing that the enemy army had already started to line up over there, he groaned angrily, and temporarily gave up dealing with this small group of people. After watching it, he brought people to the front of the tower.

"Wei Yan is in the city!?" Outside Xuchang City, Chu Nan just came over and heard the news that stunned him. How could Wei Yan be in the city?
After Deputy General Wei Yan told Chu Nan how Wei Yan was trapped in the city, Chu Nan could only secretly sigh that Wei Yan was out of luck. Things like Qianjun Gate can be encountered, and this thing is definitely not available in every city. , Xiapi did not.

"Thousand Jun gate? It's rare!" Lu Bu sat on the back of the red rabbit, looked eagerly at the sealed city gate in the distance, took off his strong bow, aimed at the gate and shot an arrow.

"Om~"

Lu Bu's arrow was different from Huang Zhong's. The moment the arrow shot out, Chu Nan clearly saw a circle of condensed air appearing in front of the bow arm, which slowly expanded in the air like the smoke ring from an old smoking gun. Dissipated.

"Boom~"

The cluster of arrows seemed to have no flight process, and appeared directly on the opposite city gate. The sealed Qianjun Gate shook violently, and Cao Peng, who was standing on the city wall, could feel the tremor of the city wall under his feet.

Chu Nan focused his eyes on the city gate, but saw that the Qianjun gate was knocked out of a small hole, but it did not shatter like an ordinary stone slab being shot by Lu Bu's arrow. Different degrees of cracks appeared on the wall, which shows that the strength of this arrow is not small. Is there such a strength and hardness on the earth?
Chu Nan was puzzled, unless the door was made of diamond, it would be impossible to block Lu Bu's arrow.

"Quick, let those Confucians come up!" On the tower, Cao Peng's complexion changed, he was also shocked by the power of Lu Bu's arrow. The city wall is reinforced by his own army formation, even if he is average or even low in command. , but that is also reinforced, and it is really frightening to be shot like this with the power of an arrow.

Soon, Confucianists who had already been spontaneously organized by the major families stepped onto the city wall one after another, mobilizing the popularity of the people, reciting the mantra with the power of the popularity, and strengthening the city wall. Lu Bu's second and third arrows, under the reinforcement of these people, However, it failed to produce the same effect as the first arrow.

"Interesting!" Lu Bu's eyes lit up with excitement, and when he mentioned Fang Tian's painted halberd, he wanted to step forward to see if the Qianjun gate could block his halberd.

"Wait a minute, father-in-law!" Chu Nan hurriedly stopped Lu Bu, and said with a smile, "Let the monster ants see if they can sneak in!"

"If that's the case, why not use the power of the demon ants to open a tunnel into the city?" Zhang Xiu suddenly thought that Chu Nan, the demon ant, had committed some fouls.

"For cities like Xuchang, the foundations are usually built according to a certain array pattern during construction. After the city is suppressed, not only is there a formation guarding the ground, but also the power of the city to suppress it. It is difficult to break through such a city by tunnels. It’s not easy.” Jia Xu rarely explained.

"Let's try it first!" Chu Nan believed Jia Xu's words, but he should give it a try, what if it works?Chu Nan ordered the demon ants to fly to the city gate in their current size to see if they could dig a tunnel to get in.

The monster ants flew out, and soon came to the city to dig a tunnel, but only dug less than five feet, and found that the underground soil became harder and harder, and at five feet it was as solid as iron, even if it was With the power of the demon ants, it is very difficult to make an inch.

"They know that our army is good at using insects, and I'm afraid they will guard against this." Chu Nan was a little helpless. In this way, if he wanted to save Wei Yan, he had to attack the city by force!
"Father-in-law, General Zhang, according to the plan, we will divide our troops to besiege the city!" Chu Nan said, looking at Zhang Xiu.

According to the plan beforehand, they were divided into three groups. Lu Bu and Chu Nan led the Jianghuai Army as the main attacker, Zhang Xiu led the Nanyang Army as a secondary attack, and Huang Zhong led the descending army as a route. They did not attack, but were only responsible for bluffing.

Everyone nodded and was about to divide the troops when they saw a scout galloping towards Lv Bu and Chu Nan and saluted, "Xuchang envoy Dong Cheng brought some carriages and guards to see him!"

"Dong Cheng?" Chu Nan was slightly startled, and looked at Lu Bu, but saw that Lu Bu was also looking at him.

"What's the purpose of sending an envoy at this time?" Lu Bu frowned.

You don't think that the calls have ended here, and they will go home because of a few words or some messy promises from the other party, right?

"Let's see each other first!" Chu Nan could probably guess that Dong Cheng came here to seek peace, but he might represent the imperial court or himself, and there is nothing missing, so he smiled at Lu Bu and said, " Speaking of this person, he can be regarded as an old father-in-law."

"It's just an old story." Lu Bu said indifferently. It was obvious that he didn't think much of Dong Cheng. After all, although Lu Bu used to behave pervertedly, he was not able to catch everyone's eyes. At least Dong Cheng didn't have the qualifications. Lu Bu's undisguised contempt can be seen.

Chu Nan nodded and said: "It's easy to talk about friendship, this person may be useful to me!"

Can it work for me?
Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan strangely, nodded and said, "Since Zi Yan said so, then bring him here!"

"Here!"
