After a heated discussion, Zhang Liao finally said: "Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Yue, and Hao Meng listen to the order. Each of you four will bring a thousand cavalry to cooperate with the Wudu army to attack Li Jue's army. You must delay it for more than five days. If you can Can it be done?"
"promise!!"
The four of them took the order and were about to leave, but shouts came from outside the hall: "Marquis Wen, Wen Yuan, Hua Xiong just suffered some superficial injuries! Why should I be allowed to rest at home?!"
As he finished speaking, Hua Xiong limped into the hall.
Cheng Lian was the first to speak: "Others are coming in and out, but I heard that General Hua rushed too hard in the previous battle and almost couldn't pull it out. It was folded inside!"
The person who came was none other than Hua Xiong, and the latter seemed anxious and didn't understand what Cheng Lian was saying. He said in a nonchalant voice, "You're still going in and out. The battlefield is so crowded, how do you want me to get out!"
"Yeah, it's too tight and got stuck!!" Cheng Lian joked!
After hearing this, everyone could no longer hold back and burst into laughter! At this time, Hua Xiong also came to his senses and said angrily: "You are a Chenglian, you are not big or small, but you dare to make jokes about me!!"
There was another fight in the hall. Seeing this scene, everyone laughed and felt relieved. Hua Xiong's injury was indeed not serious.
After a while, Zhang Liao continued: "Since General Hua is fine, Liao can rest assured!" Then he said seriously: "Hua Xiong, Cheng Lian, and Wei Xu follow the order. The three of you will lead eight thousand soldiers and horses to Huining to garrison. !”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Hua Xiong also said: "If we take away eight thousand soldiers and horses, wouldn't there be only more than ten thousand people in Shuicheng that day?"
Zhang Liao waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. In less than three days, Dong Yue's army will be stationed in Zhang County to echo Tianshui. In addition, there are a few trebuchets sent by Wudu. Liao is sure to defend Tianshui. And the outcome of this battle is Huining will be the key to success or failure!"
Hearing this, everyone put away their smiles, sat upright and waited for Zhang Liao to continue!
"Don't forget that Li Jue still has troops garrisoned in Wuwei. Once more troops are added, they will most likely go to the Anding and Jingyuan frontlines! In addition, Huining is not far from Meiwu. After Dong Yue rushes to help us, the east side will be in vain! If Cao Cao of the Central Plains If the thief makes any moves, you can know immediately."
"Marquis Wen?" The voice in his ears interrupted Lu Bu's thoughts. He looked back and saw that it was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
"Wenyuan..." Lu Bu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wenyuan will watch the enemy's plundering formation for me, and he will come as soon as he goes!" Amid a burst of laughter, Lu Bu walked down the city wall, and then a voice came from far away. : "Bring me Fang Tian Hua Ji, old man, let's go!!"
After a while, Li Jue's army arrived at the city, but there was a commotion in front! Li Jue looked intently, and was shocked to find that the gate of Tianshui City was wide open at this time. At the same time, Zhang Liao was beating the drum himself on the top of the city. A cavalry of about 200 people actually came out of the city. The leader was nine feet tall and had a slim waist. The back is pierced, the shoulders are hugged, the face is like powdered powder, the sword eyebrows are inserted into the sky and the forehead is inserted into the servant girl, a pair of handsome eyes are clear and white, the nose is like a jade pillar, the mouth is like red vermillion, the big ears are facing the chest, wearing black armor, and the head is white. Wearing a bright silver crown, two dragons fighting for treasures, the top door is inlaid with pearls, the brilliance is shining, the pheasant tail is flying behind the head, the Fangtian painted halberd in the hand is cold and cold, and the red rabbit sitting down is even more extraordinary!
This person was Lu Bu, who rushed into Li Jue's formation without saying a word! Things happened suddenly. Li Jue never expected that Lü Bu would dare to rush out of the city when the army was pressing down. Soon after, Lü Bu had already entered Li Jue's army. He slashed horizontally and vertically with a big halberd, and there was a sound of wind. Hey, for a moment, it was like a sharp sword piercing Li Jue's army formation, and there was no enemy at all.
At this time, all the soldiers in Tianshui City were also cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs!
Looking at Lu Bu's tall back, Zhang Liao's eyes were slightly absent-minded: "I haven't seen Lu Bu like this for a long time. It's been so long that it seems like a lifetime ago. The man who served under the Grand Master always had a blade of grass in his mouth and smiled naively." , but the murderous god in bright clothes and angry horses seems to be back on the battlefield! '
Seeing this, Li Jue, who was at the rear of the battlefield, was furious. He shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to charge.
Lu Bu fought two rounds, and when he saw more and more enemy troops, he shouted: "Li Jue is nothing more than that! Come back to the city with me and eat meat!"
Immediately, he took the lead in drawing his horse, cutting down the soldiers blocking the road, and led his cavalry back to the city!
As the last cavalry returned to the city, 'Bang! 'With a sound, the door is closed! At the same time, Li Jue's army had already reached the city. Zhang Liao shouted: "Fire the arrow!!" Then, the sound of strong wind sounded, and there was only a wail from below.
Zhang Liao put down his drumstick and walked down the city wall!
At this time, Lu Bu had dismounted, and a soldier took Fang Tian's painted halberd. Zhang Liao walked closer and took Lu Bu's helmet himself. Looking at him twisting his sore left arm, he smiled bitterly and said, "Marquis Wen is too impulsive. Before, Didn’t we agree that we only need to shout and scold Li Jue’s army to lead them into the city?”
Lu Bu said nonchalantly: "Hey! Don't blame Wen Yuan. Bu has his own sense of proportion. I'm not like Lao Hua who only knows how to rush. If it's tight, you can't get out!! Haha, cough cough!" He was laughing. As he spoke, Lu Bu couldn't help but coughed violently, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Hey, I can't bear to accept it. The bones in my body are a bit tight after a little exercise. I'll rest first, and then I'll do it." Give it to Wenyuan!!”
Zhang Liao shook his head, handed the helmet to the soldiers on the side, and quickly returned to the city wall. Seeing that the enemy troops were still charging into the city regardless of casualties, he called his deputy Cao Xing and said, "Tell your men to change rockets!"
At this time, Li Jue had already arrived at a place not far from Tianshui City. Although it was unwise to attack the city at this time, his morale was already low after being harassed all the way. If there was no response to Lu Bu's charge before passing by, he might be afraid that there would be no response. Morale is even lower.
He shook his sore neck and made a kaka sound. Suddenly, Li Jue's pupils shrank. Before, he was only paying attention to Lu Bu, but now he realized that the ground in front of him was actually covered with a thick layer of firewood!
'not good! '
As if to confirm his idea, at this time, rows of rockets were suddenly shot out of Tianshui City. The arrows fell to the ground, and the firewood was quickly ignited. Black smoke floated up, and then a raging fire ignited. Li Jue hurriedly commanded the soldiers to retreat while holding steady. They stayed in formation, but the more than 10,000 people rushing in front were blocked by the fire and could not go around for a while!
When they were in a dilemma, the Tianshui city gate opened again. Zhang Liao personally led more than 2,000 cavalry to fight out. The opponent had no intention of fighting. After a while, Zhang Liao led Shi Shiran back to the city. Li Jue, who was not far away, saw this scene through the black smoke and became even more jealous, but he had no choice but to retreat to a safe place. The team spread out to surround the entire Tianshui City, and began to set up camp and bury Pot stove rice.
As night fell, Li Jue's army finally settled down. However, just after nightfall, a group of cavalry appeared from nowhere and harassed the camp every once in a while. This made Li Jue's army, who was already extremely tired, unable to rest at ease. Fall asleep!
After finally surviving the night, after simply eating and drinking, Li Jue made a brief observation and found that the west gate of Tianshui City was the weakest and the city wall was relatively low. It should be only more than six meters by visual inspection, so he decided to start from here. First, he sent 20,000 people to guard the surrounding areas. , then blew the siege horn!
The battle was about to break out. Although Li Jue's army was exhausted, they were victorious due to their numerical superiority, while Lu Bu's army relied on the city wall to relax and wait for work. Both sides fired at close range. Although Lu Bu's army occupied a favorable location, due to their overwhelming numerical superiority, they were quickly suppressed by bows and arrows and did not dare to show their heads! Taking this opportunity, the soldiers in front rushed to the city and put the flying ladder on the city wall. Soon, countless soldiers began to climb.
