The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 142 Calling Back and forth is boring

Sometimes the rising sun brings not only vitality, but also death.

Outside Shouchun City, Lu Bu led [-] soldiers to line up facing the city wall.

The soldiers' military appearances were neat and tidy, and the weapons in their hands were sharp, reflecting patches of light in the sun.

The guards at the head of the city were almost unable to open their eyes, and some even had to turn their eyes away to see the enemies arrayed on the opposite side.

Yang Hong stood on the top of the city, holding the awning with his hands and looking at the army outside the city.

In terms of numbers, the defenders were about the same as the army arrayed outside the city.

The art of war has been accurately calculated. In order to attack a city, the number of people must exceed five times that of the defenders before it is possible to break the city.

Lu Bu brought only 2 people to Shouchun, and wanted to break through the city guarded by [-] Huainan troops. No matter which book on the art of war he looked at, it seemed crazy and impossible.

However, Yang Hong, who was on the top of the city, looked at the enemy army formation outside the city, but his heart was empty.

There are indeed many warriors in the Huainan Army.

It's a pity that the successive setbacks made the soldiers of the Huainan Army lose confidence in future battles.

An army without faith is nothing more than a walking corpse when a strong enemy comes.

Not to mention turning defeat into victory, even if it is just to resist the enemy's attack, it is not much possible to count on them.

Riding on a red rabbit horse, Lu Bu planned to go forward with Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

Zhao Yun quickly stopped him: "Wen Hou wait a moment."

Lu Bu turned to look at him.

"What is Marquis Wen planning to do?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Since Shouchun is here, I have to say something to Yang Hong." Lu Bu replied.

"What is Yang Hong? Is it worth Marquis Wen to talk to him?" Zhao Yun said, "Whatever Marquis Wen wants to say, I'll just pass it on."

"Are you worried about what he can do to me?" Lu Bu smiled indifferently.

"Marquis Wen went alone, there's no guarantee that Yang Hong won't do anything." Zhao Yun said, "You can go, at least take me with you."

"Bring you?" Lu Bu smiled and patted him on the arm: "I use a halberd and you use a spear. Neither of us has a shield. The two of you will go there together, and give them another target?"

"Uh..." Zhao Yun was at a loss as to what to say.

Lu Bu ordered the guards next to him: "Head, choose two hundred sword shields, and accompany me to the front of the city wall for a wave!"

Close to the city wall, the defenders had enough chances to shoot him, but Lu Bu's understatement made people feel awe.

Xun You, who was ordered by Cao Cao to monitor him, also leaned forward: "What does Marquis Wen have to say, just find someone to pass it on, why do you need to take risks yourself?"

"How can letting others spread the word destroy the minds of the defenders?" Lu Bu said, "The only way for them to completely lose their belief in fighting is for me to talk to Yang Hong."

Lu Bu stepped forward to talk in person, which was indeed a great blow to the belief of the defenders.

But Zhao Yun and others were still very worried.

Although two hundred sword and shield fighters are enough to form a tiny shield wall, the disadvantage of too few people dooms the defensive ability of this shield wall is limited.

A slight deviation will cause irreversible losses.

Of course, Zhao Yun and others did not want Lu Bu to take the risk himself.

Gently patted Zhao Yun's arm again, but Lu Bu looked at Xun You: "Don't worry, don't you guys know how much I can do?"

Pointing to the city wall of Shouchun, Lu Bu continued: "If Yang Hong dares to snipe at me, I will make him regret being born by his mother!"

The two-hundred-sword shield was ready, and Lu Bu waved: "Let's go!"

Watching Lu Bu's back, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the others looked solemn.

Xun You said to Zhao Yun and others: "Several generals, Marquis Wen put himself in danger, should we prepare the whole army to attack. In case..."

"There is no chance!" Zhao Yun rebuffed straight away: "Marquis Wen wants me and General Zhang to be in the central army. He has explained before that any use of troops must be approved by him. Marquis Wen did not give an order, so we can only stand still."

When Lu Bu was there, Xun You could not persuade him.

Thinking that Zhao Yun and others could be used to worry about Lu Bu, which led to the Qingzhou Army rushing to the city wall and causing a large-scale attrition of personnel.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun and others ordered and prohibited Lu Bu. Even though they knew that he was doing an extremely dangerous thing, they did not lose their sense of control.

"Has General Zhao thought about it, in case something happens to Marquis Wen..." Xun You was still trying to convince Zhao Yun and others.

"Mr. Xun needn't say more." Zhang Liao next to him interjected, "Marquis Wen has made a statement, and we will never go against his wishes. If he is really in danger, I will be the first to rush to the rescue."

"I'll go too." Zhao Yun agreed afterwards.

When Chen Dao was about to speak, Zhang Liao said to him, "General Uncle Zhi, if there is such a moment, please hold down the three armies for us. No matter who instigates us, we can't lead the charge."

Having already seen that the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao was delicate, and that Xun You had other secret intentions in the name of assistance, Chen Dao agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Liao couldn't understand what he said.

Persuading them to attack is tantamount to instigation.

As long as the same topic is spoken, it will be regarded as ulterior motives. It is very difficult to persuade a person under such circumstances.

What's more, what Xun You wanted to persuade was not just one person, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

Knowing that it was impossible, Xun You shook his head and sighed: "The generals are willing to sit back and watch Marquis Wen fall into danger, what else can I say..."

When he was talking to Zhao Yun and others, Lu Bu brought two hundred sword and shield fighters to a place less than 20 steps away from the city wall.

On the top of the city, the Huainan army aimed at the people below the city with their bows and arrows.

Lu Bu looked up at the top of the city, "Is General Yang there?"

Yang Hong knew he was looking for him.

In order not to lose his momentum, he responded: "General Lu is so close to the city wall, isn't he afraid that I will order you to be shot?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lu Bu replied calmly, "General Yang knows what I'm capable of. Don't say that there are only a few people at the top of the city. cent."

Of course Yang Hong knew Lu Bu's martial arts.

But he didn't believe that anyone could survive under the raindrops of arrows.

Not to mention that Lu Bu only carried Fang Tian's painted halberd, even if he had a huge shield, there was no guarantee that he would not be shot by arrows.

Lu Bu personally came outside the city wall, he must have something to say.

Yang Hong didn't intend to exchange pleasantries with him, and directly cut to the point: "General Lu is here, do you have anything to say?"

"Surrender." Lu Bu said: "General Yang also knows that I have an upright temper and a kind heart. I really can't bear to watch Shouchun's defenders being slaughtered. Why do you want to die when you can survive? I promise to make your life better than before. Calling back and forth is really meaningless."
