Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 106
A waning moon illuminates the earth, and there is silence everywhere.

The soldiers of Cao Jun on the city wall yawned boredly, and occasionally chatted with their companions to pass the time.

Lu Bu led his troops to hide in a forest far to the left, carefully observing the direction of the city gate.

Standing beside Lu Bu, Li Zheng's eyes were full of excitement.

He is still young, facing danger, he does not have much fear, but feels excited.

Standing behind the two of them, Chen Gong secretly looked at Li Zheng's expression with his eyes.

The luck this time was so good that he couldn't believe it.

However, Li Zheng's expression seemed to be fake.

Time passed bit by bit, even when the soldiers were bored and wanted to take a nap, there was a sudden exclamation from the woods.

"The door is open, Marquis Wen, the door is open."

With the light of the torches outside the city, Lu Bu also saw that the city gate was quietly opened. Due to the concealed movement, the soldiers of Cao Jun on the city wall did not respond at all.

Looking at the opened city gate, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand behind him.

"Zhang Liao, you lead a team of Bingzhou iron cavalry to rush in first, and the infantry will arrive later."

When Cheng Lian heard this, he hurriedly yelled, "And I, Marquis Wen, I'll go too."

Lu Bu glared at him fiercely, Cheng Lian was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head.

A moment later, with the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the Bingzhou iron cavalry led by Zhang Liao rushed towards the city gate under the cover of the night.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry of Lu Bu's army also rushed out of the woods, and rushed forward silently.

A Cao Jun soldier who was breathing suddenly saw the cavalry outside, and just after breathing halfway, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he let out a sharp roar.

"No, someone sneaked up."

"It's the Bingzhou cavalry."

"As for the archers, hurry up and release the arrows, and don't let them come over."

Cao Hong, who was on duty on the city wall, was resting in the city gate tower. Hearing the exclamation outside, he jumped up and rushed outside. Seeing the cavalry approaching fast in the distance, he screamed wildly in fright.

"The archer is ready, let the arrows go."

Because the matter was too hasty, before the Cao Jun archers on the city wall released their arrows, the Bingzhou iron cavalry shouted angrily, and countless arrows flew into the air and were thrown onto the city wall.

shhhhhh!
"Ahhh!"

blah blah blah!
Cao Hong looked at the cavalry rushing towards him in the distance, and he came to his senses, but he was a little puzzled.

what happened?

Why is the cavalry attacking the city?

Shouldn't it be the infantry who came to attack the city carrying the ladder?
Could it be that there is a problem with the city gate?

This thought had just arisen, and the Bingzhou iron cavalry had rushed to the gate of the city, and successfully attacked Puyang.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Not far away, the infantry of Lu Bu's army ran towards this side desperately.

Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

what happened?

How did the Bingzhou cavalry come in?
Just when Cao Jun soldiers on the city wall were dizzy, a roar sounded from under the city wall.

"Listen, Cao Jun, Puyang has been broken. Hurry up and surrender, or you will be killed."

Cao Hong had already reacted, and shouted sharply, "Reserve team, hurry down with me and drive them out."

The soldiers of Cao Jun on the city wall were already panicked. Hearing the order, they subconsciously rushed down the city wall with Cao Hong, but what greeted them was the violent attack of Bingzhou iron cavalry.

blah blah blah!
"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Just a charge, Cao Jun was defeated and retreated to the city wall.

"Puyang is broken, hurry up and surrender."

More and more Lu Bu troops rushed into the city. Although Cao Hong tried his best to resist, how could Cao Jun be able to stop the chaos at this time? After a short time, he was beaten back steadily and followed the direction of the city wall. , fled to the distance.

After Lu Bu's army completely occupied the city gate, they began to chase and kill the fleeing Cao soldiers in the city.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was sleeping soundly, also heard the news. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to go to the military camp to deliver the order.

"We must drive Lu Bu out of Puyang."

Cao Cao had already lost his former composure and kept roaring.

If Cao Jun loses Puyang City, there will be no place to gain a foothold in Yanzhou.

Even if the loss is heavy, Cao Cao will not withdraw from Puyang.

Even if they die together, Cao Cao will never agree.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Countless shouts of killing broke the tranquility of the night, causing the people who had already rested to wake up from their sleep and hide in their homes shivering.

Before Xiahoudun and others received the order, they had heard the news about the city gate, and hurriedly led their troops out to meet Cao Cao, who happened to be rushing over.

The two sides converged in one place and headed towards the city gate to kill.

At this time, Lu Bu's army had already rushed into the city, and the two sides met on the street, and immediately started a fierce fight.

The two groups of soldiers and horses slammed into each other like huge waves. Countless shouts and screams, gathered in the sound of gold and iron colliding, echoed one after another on the street.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

At this time, the most elite Bingzhou iron cavalry under Lu Bu had also retreated.

Because of the complex terrain here, the power of the Bingzhou iron cavalry cannot be fully utilized. Although it is stronger than ordinary infantry in rushing up, the loss will be greater.

It was for this reason that Lu Bu did not let Cheng Lian rush in first.

The reason Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to rush forward was because he was cautious and knew his own thoughts.

Bingzhou iron cavalry only needs to rely on speed to quickly occupy the city gate. As for the battle on the street, it can only be completed by infantry.

Although Cheng Lian was brave in battle, he was reckless. Maybe after rushing into the city, he would rush forward to fight the enemy immediately.

In this way, Bingzhou iron cavalry will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Just as the infantry of Lu Bu's army and the soldiers of Cao's army were fighting fiercely, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Li Zheng also came to the gate of the city.

Li Zheng searched among the crowd, saw the person he was looking for at a glance, hurriedly waved his hands vigorously, and yelled loudly, "Li Jin, I'm here, come quickly."

With the sound of yelling, Li Jin ran over from a distance, sweating profusely. Before he could speak, Li Zheng had jumped off his horse and ran to his side.

"Come and see Marquis Wen."

Li Jin followed Li Zheng to Lu Bu, cupped his hands and said, "The villain Li Jin has seen Marquis Wen."

Li Jin does not have any official position, so he calls himself a villain.

Seeing Li Jin's strong physique and vigorous movements, Lu Bu liked it a little. He nodded with a smile, "Li Jin, you have done a good job. When Puyang is retaken, I will definitely treat you badly."

Hearing this sentence, Li Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

Having said that, Li Jin turned his head to look in the direction of the city, and cupped his hands again, "Marquis Wen, please allow me to participate in the battle."

Hearing this, Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Since you want to go, then go, but you have to take good care of yourself, don't forget, this Marquis will reward you well?"

Although it was just a simple sentence, it made Li Jin's cheeks flush with excitement, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, for your concern."
