Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 249 Hou Cheng
Chen Gong continued, "So our army doesn't have many troops to invest. If the Jizhou army insists on launching an uninterrupted attack on this side of the city wall, our army will be in a very dangerous situation. I'm afraid we must find a way to deal with it."

When Lu Bu wanted to say this, he couldn't help but frowned and said slowly, "Only letting the soldiers on one wall defend is really stressful. Why not rotate the four walls? This should be better, right?"

Chen Gong nodded, "That's the only way to go. I hope that the Jizhou army can see the heavy losses and change their strategy, which can also relieve the pressure on our soldiers."

In the next few days, the Jizhou Army started to launch continuous attacks day and night.

In order to allow the soldiers on the city wall to withstand the pressure, Lu Bu took turns defending the soldiers on the four walls. Although they were still heavily injured, they had time to rest mentally. Overall, their morale was pretty good.

……

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

The battle on the north wall intensified, and the soldiers on both sides refused to give in to each other.

The south wall seemed much quieter. Since they had just come from the north wall, all the soldiers on the wall were exhausted. Except for the necessary sentry soldiers, the rest leaned against the wall, or chatted with their companions, and some closed their eyes. Doze off with eyes closed.

There were no enemies outside the city wall. Lu Bu also came to check and saw the soldiers sitting and resting or sleeping. He just told everyone to be careful and did not punish them too much.

After all, under the continuous strong attacks by the Jizhou Army, the soldiers were too tired and had no time to rest. Being able to rest on the city wall was already a pretty good performance.

Song Xian stood on the top of the city, looking at the direction outside the city, frowning, but thinking in his heart, when will the Jizhou army outside retreat?
At this moment, Hou Cheng came up from the stairs and quickly walked to Song Xian, "General Song, I don't know when this hateful Jizhou army will be able to leave."

Song Xian and Hou Cheng are old brothers, so they naturally knew the meaning of his question, and said with a smile, "General Hou, what's the matter, are you hungry for wine?"

Before defending the city, Lu Bu had already issued an order that no one should drink alcohol during the battle, otherwise the military law would be followed.

Lu Bu is also willing to drink, but he knows that the matter is of great importance. No matter what, he must not drink alcohol.

Alcohol is a good thing, but if you drink too much, there are indeed some mistakes.

Now that the Jizhou army is fierce outside, Lu Bu didn't dare to be careless, so he deliberately issued a ban, and no one is allowed to violate the order.

It is precisely for this reason that Hou Cheng, who is addicted to alcohol, has endured the pain for the past few days, scratching his heart and lungs in pain, wishing to drink a jar of wine from her now to satisfy his hunger.

Hou Cheng grinned and laughed, "General Song, I'm really hungry for alcohol. Why, don't you want to drink?"

Hearing this, Song Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "General Hou, you also know Marquis Wen's temper. Whoever dares to drink at this time, he will definitely not forgive lightly."

Hou Cheng chuckled, "General Song, from what you said, it's as if we haven't had a drink secretly before. What are we afraid of? This is the south gate and no one is coming. Don't you think so?"

Song Xian's expression changed, "General Hou, you must not do this. If you are discovered, it will be terrible."

Hou Cheng was also a little scared, scratched his head, and was a little unwilling, "Oh, drink more wine, and you won't have the strength to fight."

Song Xian waved his hand, "General Hou, put away your thoughts, if you are caught, Marquis Wen will definitely punish you, unless you will be a relative of Marquis Wen in the next life, and you may be allowed to drink secretly. "

Hou Cheng pushed Song Xian, and said angrily, "General Song, I wanted to satisfy your hunger with good intentions, but you laughed at me like this, don't want me to drink with you in the future."

Song Xian waved his hand and said with a smile, "General Hou, then stop drinking, and if you persist for a few more days, you should be fine."

Hou Cheng turned his head and looked outside the city. He could vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from the north gate.

Thinking of the scene of the battle at the North City Gate yesterday, Hou Cheng smiled wryly, "General Song, have you noticed that this time the Jizhou Army's attack on the city seems to be desperate, as if it is inevitable."

Song Xian nodded and sighed, "That's right, the Jizhou army didn't care about the losses in this attack, as if they didn't care how many soldiers they lost, they just wanted to break through the city."

Hou Cheng frowned, "I'm afraid it's really dangerous if it goes on like this."

Hearing this, Song Xian wanted to refute, but thinking of the fierce offensive of the Jizhou army, he didn't take back what he wanted to say, and just smiled perfunctorily.

Hou Cheng felt depressed, and his mouth was even more bitter. He thought of the thing that relieved his greed, and said tentatively, "General Song, why don't we drink a little secretly, what do you think?"

Song Xian shook his head, "General Hou, if you are not afraid of being punished by Marquis Wen, then you can drink it, anyway, I dare not."

Hearing this, Hou Cheng was disappointed. He turned his head to look in the direction of the East Gate. Suddenly, his heart moved, he clapped his hands suddenly, and burst out laughing.

Song Xian was startled by Hou Cheng's sudden laughter, "General Hou, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy with greed?"

Hou Cheng looked at Song Xian with bright eyes, and said in a low voice, "General Song, tell the truth, do you want to drink or not?"

Song Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Who doesn't want to take a sip of wine, it's just a pity, if you are caught by Marquis Wen, it won't do you any good."

Hou Cheng chuckled, and said in a lower voice, "General Song, we are afraid of being caught by Marquis Wen. Don't forget, is there someone who is not afraid?"

"Is anyone not afraid?"

Song Xian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "General Hou, you are talking about General Wei?"

Hou Cheng nodded, "The relationship between General Wei and Marquis Wen, even if he is caught by Marquis Wen, I'm afraid he won't be punished, right?"

Song Xian patted Hou Cheng's shoulder, "Why, are you envious?"

Hou Cheng waved his hand, "General Song, what are you jealous of? All I want to do now is drink. Have you forgotten?"

Speaking of this, Hou Cheng did not wait for Song Xian to answer his own words, and said in a low voice, "General Song, we are afraid of being caught, but General Wei is not afraid. Since you also want to drink, let's go find General Wei together." , let’s all drink together, even if Marquis Wen sees it, with General Wei on our side, we shouldn’t say anything, right?”

Hearing this, Song Xian's eyes lit up. After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"General Hou, then you forgot that General Wei is at the east gate. If we drink with General Wei, we will be over the guard. Once we are caught, there will be big problems."

Hou Cheng chuckled, "General Song, just tell me, if you want to drink, if you want, I have a solution."
