Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

More than two thousand cavalrymen behind Lu Bu rushed towards Zhang Liao's cavalry with shouts.

"Brothers, fight the Lu Bu bandit!"

Zhang Liao also roared angrily, holding the steel knife and charging towards the enemy.

A bloody battle begins.

These cavalrymen under Zhang Liao were recruited by Zhang Liao from Xiangyang and were well-trained.

But after all, they were fighting alone and couldn't compete with Lu Bu's more than 2,000 cavalry.

In just a moment, Zhang Liao's cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

"General, the enemy army is too powerful. If we continue to fight, we will only die!"

A soldier ran to Zhang Liao in panic and whispered: "General, you'd better leave as soon as possible while Lu Bu is careless!"

"You bastard, you know nothing!"

Zhang Liao glared at him fiercely and cursed: "What will Liu Jingsheng do if we leave? Will I be blamed for being ungrateful?"

"But."

"No buts!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die in battle today, I still have to hold back Lu Bu's cavalry, no matter how many people are sacrificed!"

"Yes!"

The soldier nodded: "General, I understand!"

After the words fell, the soldier clenched the sword in his hand and faced Lu Bu's cavalry again.

"kill!"

Lu Bu also knew that Zhang Liao was unwilling to surrender, so he didn't bother to say anything and directly ordered an attack.

"Pfft!"

The sound of swords piercing flesh was endless.

As the sword slashed, blood spattered, and broken limbs flew into the air. The air outside Xiangyang City was filled with a faint smell of blood.

The cavalry led by Zhang Liao kept falling!

"General, I, we can't hold on any longer!"

Finally, the soldiers could no longer bear the pressure and threw away their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Liao looked gloomy and sighed: "That's it, we admit defeat, surrender!"

"Hahaha, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who know the interests will surrender obediently!"

Lu Bu laughed and immediately issued an order: "The whole army obeys the order and captures the ones alive. The rest will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

The soldiers under Lu Bu were very excited.

Under Lu Bu's arrangement, groups of cavalry escorted the prisoners back to the camp.

Lu Bu came to Zhang Liao's side, looked at him condescendingly, and said calmly: "Zhang Liao, I will not kill the prisoners, but if you resist, don't blame me!"

"Lu Fengxian, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Liao's eyes showed a cold light, he stared at Lu Bu, gritted his teeth and said: "If you have the ability, come and kill me!"

"Hey, do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

A ferocious look appeared on Lu Bu's face, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed Zhang Liao straight into the chest.

"Pfft!"

The sword penetrated Zhang Liao's left chest, and blood spurted out.

"General Zhang Liao."

When the surrounding soldiers saw this scene, they exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to help Zhang Liao up.

Zhang Liao looked pale as he covered his bleeding left chest.

"Zhang Liao, out of consideration for your loyalty to Liu Biao, I only pierced your left chest and did not damage your internal organs."

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Liao with contempt and ordered: "Come here, put Zhang Liao in prison!"

"Here!"

Immediately, soldiers came over and prepared to take Zhang Liao away.

"Little Lu Bu, I will never surrender to you even if I die!"

Zhang Liao roared and struggled, trying to get out of the soldier's control.

Unfortunately, Zhang Liao was too weak to be of any use, and he was quickly taken away by soldiers by his arms. Seeing this scene, the other soldiers shook their heads and sighed.

They originally thought that Zhang Liao was a great hero and could help them defend Xiangyang City.

Who would have expected that after Lu Bu raided Xiangyang, he would massacre them.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

At the same time, Lu Bu's cavalry had captured the city tower.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

After Zhang Liao was escorted to the city tower, Zhang Xiu led the crossbowmen to shoot.

The dense arrows poured into Lu Bu's army like raindrops.

Suddenly, Lu Bu's army suffered numerous casualties.

"Humph!"

Seeing that his men suffered heavy losses, Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Send the order, beat the drums and attack, capture Xiangyang City!"

Boom boom boom!
The war drums beat, and the morale of Lu Bu's army became stronger.

Under the leadership of Lu Bu, they attacked the city crazily.

"General, the enemy's offensive is becoming more and more fierce. We may not be able to hold on!"

Under the city wall, a general looked worried: "General, please give the order to retreat!"

"Yes, General, we can't defend Xiangyang City anymore!" Another general agreed.

"Haha, do you really think I want to stay and die with you?"

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has a decree. I must ensure that Xiangyang City remains intact!"

"Hey."

Zhang Xiu sighed: "General, there is only one choice now, which is to abandon Xiangyang City and flee to Jiangxia County for help!"

"this."

When the other generals heard this, their expressions changed dramatically.

Give up Xiangyang City?
Then they are going to hell with Zhang Liao!
"General, you can't give up Xiangyang City. Xiangyang City is the gateway to our Jingzhou. If Lu Bu breaks Xiangyang City and Jiangdong Navy goes south, Jingzhou will be in danger!" A general said anxiously: "General, please think twice!"

"Yes, General, if we abandon Xiangyang City, Jingzhou will definitely be in great danger!"

"Ugh!"

Zhang Liao sighed in his heart: "You should know that Uncle Liu Huang has long sent a large army to station in Jiangxia County, waiting to regain Xiangyang."

"But if we abandon Xiangyang City, Lu Bu's army will definitely not give up. He will continue to pursue and kill. By then, the territory of Jingzhou will be in flames, and the people will suffer!"

"But."

All the generals looked hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao waved his hand to signal them to shut up for the time being. Then he looked at Lu Bujun's attack method and murmured: "Although I don't want to admit it, if this continues, we will definitely lose!"

"Lü Bu's army is powerful. We cannot stop them simply by relying on our army. The only way is to rely on the power of the Han Empire's army!"

"General, do you want the Han army to attack?" the general asked.

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said solemnly: "If, I mean if, Lu Bu's army really takes Xiangyang City, we must ask the Han army for help!"

"It's just that I'm worried that Uncle Liu Huang won't send troops!"

Zhang Xiu looked worried.

After all, Xiangyang City is Liu Biao's confidant.

If Zhang Liao rashly asks for help from the Han army, he will definitely be criticized!
Even. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
"No matter what, we need to try it!"

Zhang Liao's eyes flashed deep in his eyes, and he whispered: "Send the order and order all soldiers to strengthen the city defense and resist the enemy's attack!"

"Yes!"

General Pian clasped his fists to accept the order and immediately passed on the order.

"Bang bang bang!"

Under the command of Zhang Liao, the defenders of Xiangyang City tried their best to resist the enemy's attacks, and repelled the attacks of Lu Bu's army time and time again.

However, the number of defenders in Xiangyang City was less than 1,000. In addition, there were still two days before the winter grain ripening season, which caused the food stored in Xiangyang City to be exhausted.

Coupled with the continuous attacks by Lu Bu's army, the defenders began to decrease.

In the end, after paying a huge price, the defenders finally managed to withstand the attack of Lu Bu's army, but their own losses were also very serious, with less than five or six hundred people left. (End of chapter)
