Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 362: Attack the City! (Thanks to Jiuai, Qing:, Xuwy for their two monthly tickets~)

"Uh……"

Chen Wu let out a faint groan of pain.

Lu Bu quickly turned around, squatted down beside Chen Wu, and asked nervously:
"Zi Lie, how do you feel?"

Chen Wu, with only his eyes exposed, slowly opened his eyes after hearing Lu Bu's voice.

The moment he saw Lu Bu, Chen Wu's tiger eyes showed a hint of fortitude and excitement, and he whispered:
"I have lived up to my lord's trust..."

Lu Bu's heart was burning with excitement. He wanted to hold the other's hand to encourage him, but he couldn't. He could only nod vigorously and said:
"Zi Lie's contribution is enough to make him a marquis! If Zi Lie hadn't risked his life to stop the enemy general, our army's gunpowder tank would have been destroyed by the enemy with a high probability.

"The subsequent attack on Yizhou may also be interrupted...

"Zi Lie, rest assured and recover from your injuries. When you recover, I will personally confer a title on you!"

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Chen Wu nodded slowly, took a long breath, and closed his eyes again.

Lu Bu stood up, his expression gradually turning cold.

He walked out of the camp silently and saw Wei Yan wandering at the door.

Wei Yan's injuries seemed to have recovered well. Although he still couldn't speak, his eyes were bright and sharp.

He even held the White Tiger Sun-Devouring Sword in his hand!

As soon as he saw Lu Bu, Wei Yan pointed in the direction of Luocheng, then pointed at his sword, his meaning was obvious.

Lu Bu didn't say anything either. He pointed at Luo City and then at Wei Yan's chin.

Then he waved his hand and snatched the knife from Wei Yan's hand.

Such behavior immediately made Wei Yan so anxious that he let out a "woohoo" sound!

However, Lu Bu turned around and glared at him, which scared Wei Yan so much that he shrank back and could only watch bitterly as Lu Bu snatched the knife and left.

Lu Bu then walked straight to Zhang Liao and patted him on the shoulder.

Zhang Liao turned around, clasped his fists and said with a pair of dark circles under his eyes:
"My lord, the fire in the front camp has been put out.

“In the battle last night, the enemy deployed a total of 25,000 men, of which Qin Mi lost 5,000 and Zhang Ren lost 5,000.

"Our army lost more than 3,000 people in total, including the main force led by you, who lost 1,000 people, and the camp I was guarding lost nearly 2,000 people..."

After finishing the report, Zhang Liao lowered his head and bowed his body, waiting for Lu Bu's decision.

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then said calmly:
"Zi Lie survived, and this incident was not your subjective mistake.

"And considering the results, our army's losses were not serious, so I will fine you... half a year's salary as a punishment!"

Hearing this unnecessary punishment, Zhang Liao suddenly raised his head, but only saw Lu Bu's proud profile.

Zhang Liao understood that the Duke of Chu was still showing mercy.

Although he still felt guilty in his heart, Zhang Liao looked at the White Tiger Sun-Devouring Sword in the other party's hand and knew that the other party still had things to do.

So without delaying anything, he just clasped his fists and said in gratitude:
"Thank you, my lord..."

After saying "Go to rest early", Lu Bu led the 10,000 soldiers who had already rested.

Pushing the Thunderbolt Chariot and carrying cans of gunpowder, he headed straight for Luo City.

Today, he is determined to take Luo City!

the other side.

Qin Mi, who was on the city wall, also did not sleep a wink all night.

He thought he could get good news from Zhang Ren.

However, after waiting for a whole night, not a single soldier returned! Only then did he realize that Zhang Ren might have died.

He even suspected that this was a conspiracy set up by the enemy!

But if you think about it calmly, Zhang Ren's trip is a dangerous one. Even if he succeeds, he probably won't be able to come back...

But if it succeeded, it would not be the case that not a single soldier would be able to escape.

In this situation, there is only one possibility... Zhang Renta has failed completely!
Without Xichuan's most powerful general guarding the city, the enemy's powder keg was not destroyed.

Once the enemy attacks, I'm afraid there's a high probability that we won't be able to defend...

Just when Qin Mi was feeling anxious, his soldiers suddenly pointed to the north and shouted:

"It's the enemy! The enemy army is coming to attack the city!"

Qin Mi's expression suddenly became gloomy.

I didn't expect the enemy to attack so quickly. They really didn't give them any chance to catch their breath...

Although Qin Mi knew that Luo City was difficult to defend at this moment, he still ordered the remaining nearly 20,000 troops in the city to prepare for defense.

After all, they have prepared a lot of methods to deal with gunpowder jars, maybe they can use this to hold on...

When Lu Bu led his army to the foot of the city, he looked at the enemy soldiers standing on the city wall and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, he still patiently persuaded Qin Mi on the tower:
"Your commander, Zhang Ren, has been killed in battle! If you don't surrender, I will show no mercy!"

After saying that, Lu Bu ordered his men to throw Zhang Ren's body in front of the formation.

Although they had expected it, Qin Mi and his soldiers still felt a chill in their hearts when they saw Zhang Ren's body!
The last glimmer of hope in my heart was shattered in an instant!

After a long silence, Qin Mi suddenly shouted to all the soldiers:

"Brothers! General Zhang Ren risked his life for the safety of the soldiers and civilians in Luocheng!
"Right now, our famous Xichuan generals have been killed by the enemy, and even their bodies are not intact! This is an insult to our Xichuan soldiers and civilians!
"If we do not carry out General Zhang's last wish and defend Luo City to the death today, General Zhang's fate tomorrow will be our fate!"

Qin Mi's brainwashing words immediately made the soldiers on the city wall angry!
Seeing Qin Mi's attitude, Lu Bu immediately turned cold and said no more, and ordered ten thunder chariots to be prepared.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw the actions of Lu Bu's army, the anger that had just surged up in their hearts quickly turned into fear.

Qin Mi narrowed his eyes and said to everyone again:
"Don't panic! Just use the blanket to catch the gunpowder cans thrown at you, as we've been trained to do, and they won't explode!"

Although Qin Mi himself was not sure whether this method was useful.

But in this situation, he had to say it.

Only this kind of definite statement can eliminate the fear in the soldiers' hearts to the greatest extent.

After hearing Qin Mi's words, the soldiers were indeed much calmer than before.

But at this moment, loud thunder-like noises suddenly came from the distance!

The next moment, the soldiers on the city wall were horrified to find that countless jar-shaped objects were flying towards them rapidly from a distance!

Although they have been doing special training in catching thrown objects with quilts in the past few days.

However, the can-shaped object that flew over at this moment was much faster than the objects they caught during training!

And when they thought that this thing might blow them to pieces if not handled properly, the soldiers became terrified again!

Qin Mi saw the soldiers' fear and shouted angrily:
"What are you waiting for?! If you don't take action, we will all die here!"

This sentence instantly reminded all the soldiers.

The soldiers holding the quilts no longer cared to be afraid, and quickly spread out the quilts and rushed forward.

Watching those gunpowder jars rapidly enlarge in front of my eyes...
