First, Han Xian and Yang Feng led the troops to escort the Han Emperor to move to Wancheng, which immediately triggered a fight between the princes of various towns. Nanyang County.Second, they led their troops to defect to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu ordered people to ambush Liu Bei's army halfway, so that Liu Bei's three brothers became bereaved dogs, prompting Lv Bu to easily occupy Xuzhou; Then Li Lili's army marched south, capturing half of Yuzhou and Yangzhou in one fell swoop.Thirdly, before Yuan Shu's defeat, Han Xian and Yang Feng changed their positions again and joined Lv Bu's tent, so that they joined forces with Chen Gong, Hou Cheng and Zang Ba to conspire to raise troops in an attempt to besiege Lv Bu and help Li Li capture Xuzhou.

If all this is accidental.It was a coincidence that so many came together by chance.The most incredible thing is that the results of these chances are surprisingly similar.Every time it was Li Li from Xiliang who reaped the benefits of being a fisherman, fought repeatedly and won a complete victory.So all this is not accidental at all, but the inevitable result of careful planning.

Although Hou Cheng is not a resourceful person, he is not stupid either.He didn't know how Han Xian and Yang Feng did their previous pioneering work again and again, so that the two unknown people became the key figures in the rage, standing on the cusp of the storm.In the end, he was able to retreat completely.However, Hou Cheng already understood at this time that Han Xian and Yang Feng were both generals under the command of General Li Li.And the reason why the two of them were chosen by Li Li to take on important tasks is precisely because they were once the leaders of the Baibo bandits, with special identities and rough and deceptive looks.There is no extraordinary ability.The reputation is not obvious.That's why the two of them and the more than ten thousand soldiers under their command were favored by Li Li, and then they took on special missions, which stirred up the situation in the world and created opportunities for the Xiliang army to attack the city and conquer the territory time and time again.

It is obvious that Han Xian and Yang Feng have lived up to Li Li's expectations. One by one seemingly impossible tasks have been realized in their hands, and the seemingly extremely dangerous situations can always be saved and retreated.

Think about it.Hou Cheng sincerely lamented that the general Li Li is truly the world's number one employing master, and he is strategizing.A decisive victory thousands of miles away.Put the two unknown bandits on the cusp of leading the changes in the current situation, and personally train them to be influential figures that the princes cannot ignore, and to be independent commanders.This move is probably something that no one had expected, or even thought of at all, and all of this was created by Li Li.

Looking at the confident Han Xian and Yang Feng enjoying tea leisurely, Hou Cheng couldn't help being a little envious, envious of their calm general demeanor, and even more envious of their unlimited bright future.It is not difficult to imagine that once the incident in Xuzhou is successful, the two of them will be able to return to the command of General Li Li in a dignified manner. At that time, Li Li will definitely reward them both heavily. Prosperity and wealth are at your fingertips.But these lofty ideals that Chacha Houcheng dreamed of have always been elusive and out of reach.

So Hou Cheng was full of admiration for Han Xian and Yang Feng, and hoped that one day he would be able to worship generals and marquises like them, confer his wife and son, and be prosperous forever.And the reason why he chose to join Chen Gong, or Li Li, was very simple, because Li Li was a stronger current powerhouse than Lu Bu.At the beginning, he followed Lv Bu precisely because Lv Bu was strong enough, and the same is true for him turning his back on Lv Bu and switching to Li Li today.

Following the strong is his Hou Cheng's choice, which has never changed from beginning to end.

The day passed quietly, and night fell again.

Time passed little by little, the night was getting thicker and thicker, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, rumbling thunder could be heard endlessly, the howling wind was coming, and the air was filled with the moisture of the impending heavy rain.

On a moonless night full of thunder and lightning, the night is dark and windy, the wind and rain are about to come, and dark clouds are overwhelming the city.

In Xiapi City shrouded in dark clouds, the lights were lit up, and the dim light was rapidly diminishing, and many people had already turned off their lights and gone to bed.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, the defenders at the top of the city didn't notice at all. Tens of thousands of troops had gathered in the wilderness outside the city at some point, and they were watching everything on the city tower with covetous eyes.Perhaps they were waiting for all the lights in the city to be extinguished, or for orders from the military adviser Chen Gong, or for the arrival of a storm.

"Report to the military division, General Zang Ba has not yet arrived with his troops."

In the wilderness three miles away from the north gate of Xiapi, Chen Gong, Hou Cheng, Han Xian, and Yang Feng reined in their horses and stopped in front of the formation. Behind them were more than a dozen burly generals, three of whom were quite handsome. Attracting attention, they are: Zhang Xun, Lei Bo and Chen Lan.These three were former generals under Yuan Shu's account, and after they surrendered to Li Li's command, they were ordered to garrison Huainan. Unexpectedly, they appeared here at this moment, which surprised Hou Cheng, Han Xian and others.

"Zang Ba hasn't arrived yet? It seems that he is finally timid and dare not take the risk to rise up with us. At this moment, we have no choice but to attack the city. After the siege begins, you generals must lay siege to the city as planned," he said. At this point, Chen Gong paused, then drew out his sword, and raised his voice to order: "All officers and men obey the order, kill!"

Chapter 096

The "rumbling" thunder traversed the sky and resounded through the sky, deterring the creatures living on this land, adding a bit of mystery and majesty to the dark night that could not be seen, making the night even more unpredictable and frightening. fear.

"Crack!"

A flash of dazzling lightning pierced the sky, shuttled across the sky, descended from the sky like a frightened bird, and landed on the top of a high mountain, a cluster of sky fire burst out, and the flash of light swept across the endless darkness, as if declaring the irreversible power of the sky, and its mighty power over the universe .

The "swish" wind roared past, ravaging the earth like a beast roaring, intimidating the common people, sweeping across the wilderness, penetrating the city wall, getting into the window and door cracks, pervasive and everywhere, as if competing with thunder and lightning, showing off wantonly, singing and dancing wildly .

Xiapi City, outside the north gate.

"Zang Ba hasn't arrived yet?"

Chen Gong, who was stationed in front of the horse formation, groaned, and said in disappointment: "It seems that he is timid after all. He is afraid of Lu Bu like a tiger, and dare not take the risk of rebelling with us. That being the case, we don't have to wait any longer, without him Zang Xuangao led his troops to assist in the battle, and we will still take this city. At this moment, we are already on the verge of attacking, and there is no way out. After the siege begins, all generals must besiege and attack the city according to the plan. In this battle, we do not want to capture Xiapi in one fell swoop. As long as you can trap Lu Bu in the city for five days, it will be a great achievement!"

Speaking of this, Chen Gong's voice paused, then he drew out his sword and raised his voice to order: "All officers and men obey the order, kill!"

With a loud "boom", thousands of war cavalry galloped like flying arrows, brandishing their weapons and heading straight for the north city gate.Immediately afterwards, hundreds of torches illuminated the wilderness.Tens of thousands of infantry were running fast, with the dark shield soldiers rushing to the front, followed by the spear and halberd soldiers.Then came a cloud ladder, a city-charging vehicle and a catapult, and more than a dozen high platform well rails.

At the same time, thousands of soldiers also gathered outside the South Gate, West Gate and East Gate of Xiapi, launching an attack at the same time at this moment.Attack the four gates at the same time, leaving no gaps or dead ends, and attack the city at the same time.Give the defenders in the city a strong deterrent, forcing them to be surrounded by enemies and not dare to break out of the city easily.

It is obvious.The north gate is the main direction of attack.There are no less than [-] cavalry gathered here, under the command of Chen Gong himself, trying to capture the North Gate in one fell swoop, and then go straight to the State Shepherd's Mansion.besides.Hou Cheng's troops attacked Ximen with [-] cavalry.Han Xian, Yang Feng, and Chen Lan led [-] infantry to besiege the east gate, while Zhang Xun and Lei Bo led more than [-] infantry who sneaked into Xuzhou to attack the south gate.Four groups of soldiers and horses attacked at the same time, mainly attacking the north gate, while the other three gates focused on siege, and adopted sneak attack and harassment tactics to disperse the defenders' forces, making them confused and difficult to see from the beginning to the end.

"Da da da boom!"

When the charging cavalry approached the city gate.There was a sudden shout of killing from behind the North City Gate, followed by a loud "bang bang" not long after.The closed city gate suddenly opened.Immediately, he galloped out of the city on a fast horse, and cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge with a knife in his hand; and on the tower behind him, thousands of soldiers in black armor were fighting fiercely with the defenders of the city, vying for control of the north gate.Obviously, someone in the city should be responsible for raiding the city gate, and it has already succeeded.

With the slamming of the suspension bridge, the morale of the thousands of warriors who sprinted to the moat was greatly boosted. The original silent raid suddenly turned into shouting and rushing up the suspension bridge, rushing towards the city gate like lightning.

"Seize the city gate, kill!"

"Soldiers, speed up, follow me into the city, charge!"

Seeing that the city gate was wide open and the suspension bridge fell, the infantry who were about to set up the ladder gave up their attack in an instant. Under Chen Gong waving his sword and yelling loudly, thousands of soldiers ran wildly and passed the suspension bridge at a speed visible to the naked eye. , screaming and roaring, swarmed up, and rushed into the north gate after the war cavalry.

The defenders of the north gate never expected that someone would sneak attack on the city gate on the night of lightning and thunder, so all the guards curled up in the tower and the gatehouse and dozed off with their weapons in their hands, without any precautions in advance.It was precisely because of this slackness and negligence that the more than a thousand black-clothed soldiers who had been ambushing in the city for a long time succeeded in a sneak attack. They suddenly launched an attack, opened the city gate and cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge in one fell swoop, so that Chen Gong, who was attacking the city late at night, The army entered the north gate without any effort.

At this moment, the north city gate was wide open, and the city gate defenders fought back vigorously, but it was still too late, and they could not resist the rebel soldiers rushing into the city gate like a tide.As the first wave of more than [-] war cavalry rushed into the city, the North Gate was declared lost. In the blink of an eye, more than [-] rebels poured into the city, and Xiapi City was in danger.

Such a smooth capture of the North Gate was something that Chen Gong had never expected before, so he was overjoyed at this moment, personally led the charge, and captured the North Gate tower in one go.The reason why they seized the city tower instead of directly attacking the State Shepherd's Mansion was because Chen Gong knew very well the strength of the Wolf Cavalry Army defending the State Shepherd's Mansion.

In order to be on the safe side, he would rather give up the opportunity to attack the State Shepherd's Mansion at the first moment, rather than take a rash risk with his troops.So he retreated to the next best thing, made a decisive decision, and chose to completely capture the North Gate, take the first step to gain a firm foothold, and then fight steadily, step by step, until he captured Xiapi City.

"Bang bang bang! Boom!"

The earth-shattering rumble resounded throughout the city, covering the rumbling thunder in the night sky. The thick smoke and fire that shot straight into the sky, as well as the deafening shouts of killing, prompted Lu Bu who was sleeping to wake up suddenly, and at the same time, the people who were frightened woke up. There are also a group of officials under his command and many wealthy families in the city.

Lu Bu, who was abruptly awakened, opened his eyes, turned over and lay down in an instant, put on his clothes in a hurry, opened the door and rushed out.When he walked into the hall while getting dressed while running, more than [-] generals and more than a dozen panicked civil servants had gathered in the hall, among them were Wei Xu, Chen Gui, and Chen Gui who were in charge of the old guard wolf cavalry army. Chen Deng and his son.

"You're all here?" Lu Bu, who was full of anger, bowed and saluted without paying attention, and scolded angrily, "Who can tell me what happened in the city? Where did it come from?" While he was speaking, the soldiers took the armor and stepped forward to dress him neatly.

Unexpectedly, after putting on the battle armor, Lu Bu did not take a seat, but stretched out his right hand. The soldiers were stunned when they saw this, and quickly reacted. Fang Tian painted a halberd.

"Bang!" But seeing Lu Bu stretch out his hand to hold Fang Tian's painted halberd, he stomped heavily on the ground, making the solid floor hum and frighten all the civil and military people in the hall. Dare to pant, keep silent like a cicada.

At this moment, Wei Xuzhuang bravely stepped out and said in a respectful voice: "My lord, the rebels are currently attacking the city from all sides. The sentry cavalry just came to report, and the north gate has been broken by the rebels. At this moment, the rebels have already entered the city." , I think they will attack the State Shepherd's Mansion soon!"

"Rebels?" Lu Bu's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said anxiously, "Who dares to betray me? Where did the rebels come from?"

Before the words fell, there was no need for Wei Xu to report this time, the old and resolute Chen Gui came out more and more, and said as he walked: "My lord, the rebels attacking the city right now are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by the military advisor Chen Gong. According to the eyeliner According to the report, there are not a few generals following Chen Gong's rebellion this time, including Hou Cheng, Han Xian, Yang Feng, Cao Gui, Mi Fang and other generals. It is estimated that the rebel army has no less than [-] soldiers and horses, so they can attack the city from all sides, trying to break through the city in one fell swoop, and capture and kill us." Obviously, Chen Gui was very concerned about the rebel army who captured the north gate and those who were attacking the city outside the city. The soldiers and horses knew very well, maybe he had already seen the conspiracy of Chen Gong and others, but kept it secret and did not report it until now.

Sure enough, Lu Bu was furious after hearing the words, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was constantly sinking under the huge force of his arm, and it forcibly penetrated the floor, eight inches deep into the ground.

"Hmph, Chen Gong, it really is him!" Lu Bu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and snapped angrily, "This thief has always had a close relationship with Li Thief, and they are also in-laws. I suspected him a long time ago that he had two ambitions and plotted against him. However, he thought that he had been fighting with a certain person for many years and could not bear to kill him. Unexpectedly, this thief would turn his back after all, and even colluded with Hou Cheng, Han Xian and other rebels to gather tens of thousands of people to besiege my Xiapi administrative office! I must kill him with my own hands, if I don’t smash his body into thousands of pieces, it will be hard to relieve the hatred in my heart!”

Seeing that Lv Bu was burning with anger, Chen Deng, the son of Chen Gui, echoed him: "My lord has always been kind, and treated Chen Gong with respect, and treated him with respect as a teacher. Who would have expected that Chen Gong would be ungrateful and wolf-hearted, and think that the lord would not listen to him?" The plan is not followed, because of resentment in the heart, so today's act of plotting rebellion. Therefore, the Lord's beheading of Chen Gong is really a joyous move. However, the rebel army currently has tens of thousands of people, and they can attack in an instant by breaking through the North Gate. to the state capital.

However, the state capital does not have many soldiers, except for the lord's [-] wolf cavalry, there are only [-] defenders.If the city has not been breached, the state capital is naturally safe with the strength of Xiapi City and more than [-] cavalry.It's a pity at the moment? I'm sorry to say it boldly, if the north gate is broken, the state capital will definitely be lost.Coupled with the fact that the Cao (Cao Bao) clan, the Mi family and Chen Gong secretly colluded with each other in the city, they dispatched servants and guards to attack the North Gate tonight, which allowed the rebels to attack the city in one fell swoop.Therefore, for the current plan, it is better for the lord to lead his troops out of the city as soon as possible, so as not to be trapped in the city and escape from the evil hands of villains! "After speaking, Chen Deng bowed respectfully to the end, then bowed and pushed it among the crowd without saying a word.

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Lu Bu's eyelids twitched, and his angry eyes shrank violently, but he did not show any weakness on his lips, and shouted angrily, "Chen Gong is just a traitor, why should I be afraid of it? "

After a pause, Lu Bu strode down to the hall and said sharply: "Come on, bring me the red rabbit horse, the wolf cavalry will clear the way first, and you will follow me to the east gate to kill the rebels!"

"No!" Hearing this, all the civil and military personnel in the hall understood, and immediately took orders in unison, and walked out of the main hall quickly after Lu Bu.The north gate fell, but Lu Bu led his army to help the east gate, which seemed to be the opposite, so everyone understood what Lu Bu said and followed them happily.

Chapter 097

blah blah blah!

"Open the gates!"

He galloped to the gate of the city, and when he approached the gate, Wei Xu, who led the wolf cavalry to charge forward, raised his voice and ordered the defenders of the east gate to open the city quickly.

The city gate guard saw his lord Lv Bu's banner from a distance, so he didn't dare to hesitate after hearing the sound, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the gate, and put down the suspension bridge the moment Wei Xu led his army out of the city gate.
