Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 1062: Death in Siege

The Qi cavalry were running densely, with refined iron spears tucked under their armpits and their right hands tightly clenched to reinforce them. The cold forest of spears and guns pointed straight ahead, and the running cavalry were roaring unconsciously.

"Ahhhh-"

Boom boom boom——

There were thousands of cavalrymen on both sides, and countless of them opened their mouths as wide as they could.

Red Hare was running wildly on the ground, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji and rushing to the front of the formation. Suddenly, he tilted his head, and an arrow flew past his head with a "whoosh", and a loud shout was heard.

A long spear was stabbing from the front, but he pushed it away with a waving of his painted halberd. Red Hare suddenly jumped into the running horses. While he was waving his long weapon, his painted halberd swept across the man's abdomen. He let out a breath and shouted, "Hey--" and Lu Bu swung his arm violently, swinging both him and his painted halberd together.

"Ah...ah——" As the Liao soldiers were lifted into the air, they charged towards the cavalrymen nearby with their fangs and claws, knocking several knights sideways and sending them flying into the dust. Several screams were drowned out by the horses' hooves.

"Wu Yanguang!"

There was a roar of fighting and the following Wuwei and Wolf Riders immediately collided with the Liao cavalry, creating a gap in their ranks.

"If you want to kill me, why do you hide behind others and imitate that woman?"

The forward Ya general chopped the long sword vertically, raised the Fang Tian Huaji, and the long sword flew into the sky with a crisp metallic sound. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and slashed horizontally. The sharp tip of the halberd swept across the man's neck, and the head was spinning with the breaking figure.

Wu Yanguang's face turned dark in the battle array, and he did not argue: "Stop him!"

Upon hearing the order, several generals who were guarding Wu Yanguang in front shouted and rushed forward with their soldiers, stabbing with swords and spears at the same time.

"When someone breaks through the formation alone..."

Lu Bu glanced at the general's flag over there, and his running Red Hare suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

"You are still wrapped in the placenta in your mother's womb!"

The Fang Tian Huaji spun and swung, directly intercepting several weapons. The big hand holding the long weapon suddenly thrust forward, and the sharp edge pierced the sternum, causing blood to burst out.

"roll--"

With a roar, Lu Bu exerted force with both arms, pulled the halberd horizontally, and drew an arc in front of him.

The chests and abdomens of the three generals and two cavalrymen in front were torn open, and flesh, broken bones, internal organs, and severed arms were thrown diagonally into the air. The painted halberd drew an arc and rose into the sky with sticky blood.

"Die, Lu!"

As the horse's hooves trampled the yellow earth, Wu Yanguang, who was hidden behind the crowd, revealed his figure. He rode his iron-backed and silver-maned horse forward, and thrust out his iron-tipped steel spear fiercely.

On the Red Hare horse, the painted halberd raised in the air suddenly chopped down. The blood on the painted halberd seemed to stick in the air, like a piece of silk, and the wind was like a tiger's roar!
In an instant, the figure on the opposite side was shrouded in light, and the long spear thrust out was raised and collided with the whistling painted halberd.

boom--

Sparks jumped out with a huge roar, and Wu Yanguang felt like he was struck by lightning. His arms pressed down suddenly, and the knuckles suddenly cracked. Blood flowed down his skin. The iron-backed and silver-maned horse Xilulu under him let out a miserable scream and retreated a few steps backwards.

On the side, the accompanying generals and personal soldiers rushed over: "Commander, we are here to help you!"

The spear and iron knife were handed over immediately.

"The clown!"

The painted halberd retracted slightly, and then swung out at a faster speed: "Get out—"

Red Hare ran forward, the tip of its halberd cut off spear barrels, smashed iron knives, and swept across human bodies. Amid the flying limbs and broken weapons, it rushed to Wu Yanguang with a bloody body.

Wu Yangguang's pupils shrank, but he did not retreat. He gritted his teeth and raised his gun. With a roar of "Haah——", he pointed the gun out like a venomous snake.

At the same time, Lu Bu exhaled and shouted, swung his painted halberd, and "bang!" pressed it on the tip of the spear. The Red Hare kept running, and the crescent-shaped blade moved forward along the spear handle with a metallic "clang" scraping sound, and sparks occasionally burst out from under the blade.

Wu Yanguan quickly let go of the gun and grabbed the iron whip with his bloody hands. He held the handle with his right hand and pressed the head of the iron whip with his left hand, then blocked it forward vertically.

bang——

The painted halberd hit the iron whip with heavy force, and the whip pressed against his chest. Wu Yanguang flew off the saddle, drew an arc, and fell to the ground with a bang on his butt.

The Liao general's face changed, and he grimaced and screamed: "Ah--"

Red Hare came galloping over, and Lu Bu pulled the reins. The flaming red warhorse stood up, and its two strong legs stepped down, and the fallen figure quickly rolled to the side.

Snapped--

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and a few pieces of earth and rocks splashed up and bounced onto Wu Yanguang's face.

The fighting was still going on all around. The Wuwei and Wolf Riders who caught up stopped the generals and bodyguards around them. Yu Cheng, Xu Wen and others were covered in blood as they blocked the Liao army who wanted to come to the rescue. Some people's pupils shrank.

"Commander in Chief..."

"Ok?"

Wu Yanguang caught a glimpse of a red color out of the corner of his eye, and raised his head slightly, and a white light suddenly shot down from above.

puff--

His body shook violently, and Wu Yangguang's arm that was supporting the ground bent slightly. Then his gaze moved downward, and a sharp blade with blood appeared in his sight. A thin line of blood dripped down the tip of the halberd and gathered into a pool of blood on the ground.

"Uh... cough..." Blood spurted out of Wu Yanguang's mouth, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Whoosh..."

Hot sweat streamed down his forehead, and Lu Bu's chest rose and fell sharply. Looking at the Liao commander's lowered head below, he took a long breath and exhaled. It was only a moment, but his energy and spirit were highly concentrated, which was not as easy as a long battle.

"Hmm—"

With a muffled groan from his nose, Lu Bu exerted force with both arms and suddenly lifted Wu Yanguang up, saying in a thunderous voice: "Your commander is dead, why don't you surrender early!"

In the dim light, with the Fang Tian Huaji held high, a familiar figure came into view.

The sounds of fighting on the battlefield suddenly quieted down. The weapons in the hands of many Liao army soldiers dropped slightly, and then fell to the ground with a "clang".

"Revenge for the commander-in-chief!"

"Take back the commander's body!"

Dozens of cavalrymen, with red eyes, ran towards the corpse held in the air and shouted. Yu Cheng quickly ordered the guards to rush up to intercept them. Then there was a sound of weapons clashing, and the screams of dying echoed in the sky.

"Bring the corpse to the front of the battle to signal surrender."

Lu Bu's hand trembled, and he threw Wu Yanguang's body to the ground. He lowered his head and looked at it, silent for a moment: "He has fulfilled his duties. Wait for the enemy to surrender and bury him with honor."

A soldier of the Wuwei Army responded, jumped off his horse, lifted the corpse, and ran on the battlefield with the sound of horse hooves thundering.

"Wu Yanguang is dead, you guys..." "Wu Yan..."

The shouting continued, the bad news was shocking, but the brave general with yellow hair and eyebrows turned a deaf ear to it, holding the White Pear Blossom Spear, ready to kill again. Wang Yin put away the spear, took a step back, glanced at him, and motioned him to look to the side.

Alichi looked at him warily, then turned his head doubtfully, and when he saw the figure being lifted up, his pupils suddenly shrank, his lips trembled twice, and he bent down weakly.

The fighting and shouting on the field gradually died down amidst the continuous roars. The sound of someone shouting continued, and the panic scene of fleeing became the main theme here. Torches replaced the skylight and illuminated the small area in front of them, with stars dotted together.

Figures on war horses ran by with torches held high, chasing after the people who ran into the darkness. Some soldiers, under the supervision of black-armored soldiers, laid down their weapons, walked to the side, were tied up with ropes, and strung together in a row.

The stars in the night sky disappeared under the moonlight, and the roaring sound of hooves came from near and far, and then from far and near.

The fluttering general's flag fluttered in the firelight, and the words "Du" and "Wang" came into the eyes of the people nearby. Several riders ran out, approached the central army's flag, jumped off their horses, strode forward and clasped their fists.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in getting help."

Lü Bu, wearing armor, sat on a chair under the big flag. He looked at the four men and smiled, "It's not too late. If the Liao army didn't come out, I would have let it go. But since the Liao army came out, I had no choice but to go into battle myself."

Du Fu and Wang De looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, it would be better for you to avoid going into battle in the future. When I came back, I heard from others that my heart was pounding. If something unexpected happened, how would I deal with it?"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "I am a warrior by birth. I know when to strike and when to retreat. You don't need to say more."

The four generals were helpless, and Wang De clasped his fists and said, "Then your Majesty, please let me and others accompany you next time, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

"Okay, I'll do as you say next time." Lu Bu nodded helplessly.

At the edge of the battlefield, a horse ran over. Seeing the figure here fell off the horse, under the firelight, the young Wenhou Lu Fang walked forward with a bloody face and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, General Yang defeated Ji Anbang's Miyun army. Now Ji Anbang has fled back to the city. Our army chased him to the city, but we lack infantry and siege equipment. Please tell us what to do next."

Lu Bu stood up suddenly, looked at Lu Fang and raised his eyebrows: "How many soldiers and horses have left Miyun?"

"There were about 3,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 infantry. Most of those who escaped back to the city were cavalry. Their infantry were defeated by us and most of them are missing."

The four generals of Du Fu looked at each other and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity."

"The last general invites you to fight!"

Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop the men, and narrowed his eyes, “Tell Xi Sheng, Sun An, and Bian Xiang to stop what they are doing, lead their troops to approach Yang Zaixing, and surround Miyun for me.

He sent a messenger back to the camp and ordered Xiao Haili to organize young and strong men to transport the siege equipment to the foot of Miyun City.

Sent Wang Zheng, Li Zhu, and Qiao Lie over to discuss the matter."

Lu Bu looked up at Du Fu, Wang De, Shi Wengong, and Yuan Lang and said, "The cavalry will rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, Wang De and Yuan Lang will go to Jizhou to support Han Shizhong."

"Here!"

The four of them clasped their fists in response, and a cavalryman immediately issued a general order, and dozens of war horses galloped out to all directions.

Soon, figures with torches, war horses, and all kinds of sounds gathered together, and figures in black armor ran into the distance amid the hoarse roars of officers.

At the same time, the captains and generals who remained on the battlefield shouted and dispatched troops, and crowded in the crowd to count the casualties and prisoners of this battle. All kinds of information were gathered and then passed to Lu Bu.

Among the more than 2,000 soldiers in the front line, more than 300 were killed or wounded, including 127 killed in battle. Most of the remaining wounded were able to fight again, so such losses were still bearable.

Nearly 40% of the remaining infantry on the left and right wings who followed the Xianzhen Camp in the battle suffered casualties, especially those under Mie Gong.

As for the elite troops such as the Wuwei, Wolf Cavalry, and Armored Cavalry, although there were losses, because Lu Bu killed Wu Yanguang quickly enough, the casualties were no more than a hundred people.

The army was gathering under orders with clear division of labor. The night wind blew the torches, making everyone's body flicker. Lu Bu folded up the wolf cavalry's battle report and looked at Wang Yin and Li Tianrun in front of him: "Have you taken the other two Liao generals?"

Wang Yinli and Tianrun looked at each other and nodded, "Yes." The former lowered his head and said, "When Aliqi heard that Wu Yanguang died in the battle, he lost his fighting spirit and allowed me to tie him up. Now he is being held aside without saying a word. I don't know what to do with him."

"Pang Wanchun and I captured Wu Yanyanshou." Li Tianrun paused and scratched his cheek, "It's just that I was a little ruthless, and he hasn't woken up yet."

"Wu Yan Yanshou..." Lu Bu had an impression and exhaled: "Son of Wu Yanguang."

Li Tianrun bowed his head and said respectfully: "That's right."

Lu Bu thought for a moment, looked at the generals beside him, and laughed at himself: "Forget it, you are really soft-hearted. I have killed his father today, and I can't bear to kill him again. When he wakes up, I will give him a horse and clean water." He waved his hand and said: "Let him go."

"Your Majesty has mercy."

Several generals clasped their fists and said sincerely, Lu Bu smiled and shook his head: "As for Aliqi...", narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the guards behind him: "Is he the one who killed Yu Zhiwang?"

Yu Cheng spoke up from behind: “It’s him.”

"Hmm..." Lu Bu pondered for a moment and sighed, "I still remember what happened when I met Tian Ba, Wu Jiao's four disciples. I didn't expect to lose Yan Guang first, and now I'm also missing Yu Zhiwang. I'm halfway done."

Du Fu was listening nearby and consoled them by saying, "On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. Your Majesty, there is no need to be too sad." He paused and said, "But Your Majesty, it is unclear whether the prisoners were killed. They surrendered voluntarily. If we kill them like this, I am afraid that in the future..."

"I understand." Lu Bu nodded and took a breath: "Where is Yelu Yudu?"

Yu Cheng glanced back and whispered, "We are still cleaning up the battlefield."

"Order him to recruit the captives to surrender."

He tilted his head slightly back and said something. After a pause, Lu Bu added, "If there are those who would rather die than surrender, grant their wish."

"Here."

Yu Cheng nodded, and without looking for anyone else, he jumped on his horse and ran to find Yelu Yudu to pass on the message.

Not long after, Wang Zheng, Zhang Lin and others came over. After everyone discussed it, the sky became darker.

……

same moment.

Inside Miyun City, the firelight illuminated the faces of Ji Anbang and Zan Tongmei. Their personal soldiers were holding golden wound medicine and applying it to the former. The strong smell of medicine filled the room.

"…your brother has served the country with all his loyalty. I will write a memorial to ask for a title for him."

The majestic body was wrapped tightly in white cloth. The commander of Miyun looked at his only two and now only friends and said, "Although the Qi bandits have chased us to the city, their main force is still fighting with the Wuyan army. I don't think they will attack the city for the time being. However, there is always a possibility of something happening, so we must be prepared."

The general on the opposite side nodded slowly as a sign of agreement. For a moment, neither of them said anything, and there was only the sound of soldiers helping to wrap the clothes.

Outside the door, hurried footsteps were heard, and a commander guarding the city gate pushed the door open and came in: "Commander-in-chief, reinforcements from the Qi army are outside!"

"What do you mean!?"

The figure stood up, regardless of the fact that his wounds had not yet been bandaged, and walked out, taking a few steps towards the top of the city wall.

In the distance, fire dragons are gathering. (End of this chapter)
