The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Order the lieutenant generals of the army to rush to the gate of the city immediately to face the Jiangdong army, and must drive the Jiangdong army out." Chen Deng shouted.

There were 500 soldiers following Zudu's rebellion, which made the Jiangdu defenders, who were a little stretched in terms of strength, even more critical.

The Jiangdong army entering the city was like a fierce tiger, and the panicked soldiers in the city were greeted with butcher knives from the Jiangdong army.

There is no shortage of fierce generals under Sun Ce's command. Among the old troops who followed Sun Jian in the past, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang were all brave men, and Sun Ce himself was brave and good at fighting. The Jiangdu defenders who had only been killed scattered and fled.

The surprise attack had already confused Jiangdu's defenders. It was hard for them to imagine that Jiangdong's army would have internal support, and even half of their combat effectiveness could not be displayed in a state of panic.

If the Jiangdong army chooses to attack the city by force, it is not a problem to block the Jiangdong army for half a month or even longer with the strength of the defenders in the city. The situation is different now. After losing the advantage of the city, the defenders of Jiangdu It has become the capital for Jiangdong Army soldiers to obtain credit.

After Hou Cheng heard the news, he hurried to the Yamen Office, and when he heard the news from the general on the way, his face turned livid, "The shameless Jiangdong army actually used such means to attack the city."

"General Hou, this time it's my dereliction of duty." Chen Deng sighed.

The continuous news of the battle between the defenders in the city and the Jiangdong Army made Chen Deng extremely worried. Judging from the current situation, Jiang is very likely to be unable to defend. If the remaining defenders can stop it, the fall of Jiangdu is inevitable.

"This general will lead the troops to fight against the Jiangdong army. Sun Ce dares to act presumptuously in Jiangdu City." Hou Cheng said angrily.

Chen Deng hastily persuaded: "General Hou must not do it. The Jiangdong Army has entered the city in a large scale, and our soldiers have been unable to stop it. General Hou is the captain of Guangling. The loss of Jiangdu is nothing. The key is the safety of Guangling."

"Is this going to sit back and watch the army break through the city?" Hou Cheng asked dissatisfied.

Chen Dengdao: "Guangling is a city high and deep. If we rely on Guangling as the foundation, it will certainly be able to stop the Jiangdong Army's attack."

After a long silence, Hou Cheng nodded.

Chapter 291 Zhou Yu's Plan

"General Hou led the cavalry back to Guangling quickly to avoid any changes." Chen Deng seemed to have remembered something, and said hastily.

Hou Cheng looked puzzled, "Why?"

"Sun Ce has resourceful people to help him. If he goes to Guangling disguised as our army after conquering Jiangdu, Guangling will be in danger." Chen Deng worried.

Hou Cheng's complexion changed greatly, "Thank you for the reminder, the prefect. If Jiangdu cannot be defended, the prefect Chen will lead the troops back to Guangling. At that time, he will teach Sun Ce a severe lesson in Guangling."

Chen Deng nodded solemnly. Originally, in Chen Deng's view, Sun Ce led the army to invade Guangling just to support Yuan Shu. Judging from the current situation, this is not the case. Sun Ce, who has achieved certain development in Jiangdong County, has already thought It's time to reach out to the prosperous Xuzhou.

Lu Bu led the Xuzhou army to confront Yuan Shu in Pengcheng. The most elite force in the Xuzhou army was restrained by Yuan Shu. This was also Sun Ce's opportunity.

Chen Deng understands that once Guangling is lost, what kind of shock will it bring to Xuzhou, and how many officials are secretly waiting and watching. They want to see whether Lu Bu can lead Xuzhou in this confrontation as before. If the army wins, if not, they are likely to re-select the camp.

Guangling must be stable, which is why Chen Deng kept asking for help after hearing the news of the Jiangdong Army's arrival.

There are only more than fifty cavalry in the army, and they are usually used to scout for information.

Hou Cheng led the cavalry, rushed out of the north gate and headed towards Guangling.

Guangling is only sixty miles away from Jiangdu, and with the speed of cavalry, it can be reached in less than half an hour.

The city of Jiangdu was in chaos. Sun Ce handed over the matter of attacking the city to his generals. The situation had been settled, and his next plan was Guangling.

Compared with Guangling, Jiangdu is just an insignificant city. If you get Jiangdu but cannot capture Guangling, it will be useless. Once the Xuzhou army comes, what should the Jiangdong army do? Only by occupying more cities can the current The results have stabilized.

"Gong Jin, it is inevitable for our army to break through Jiangdu." Sun Ce laughed.

Zhou Yu said: "Brother Bofu, there is news from the scouts that there is a cavalry team of dozens of people heading towards Guangling. It seems that Chen Deng is worried about the situation in Guangling."

"If someone returns to Guangling, wouldn't it be more difficult for our army to take the opportunity to raid Guangling?" Sun Ce's tone was a little anxious.

In the true sense of the word, with the Jiangdong Army's current strength, it would be extremely difficult to attack Guangling, where only a thousand people were stationed. The Jiangdong Army's campaign against Guangling was also accompanied by many risks, and a quick decision must be made.

"It's too late for Chen Deng to react, I'm afraid it's too late." Zhou Yu said confidently.

Hearing this, Sun Ce was very relieved. As long as he captured Guangling, he would be able to use Guangling as a basis to further invade Xuzhou and capture more cities from Lu Bu. That's the next thing. After his strength grows, does Sun Ce still need to rely on others?

"With Gongjin's plan, Guangling will definitely fall into the hands of our army." Sun Ce wiped the blood off his face and laughed.

Zhou Yu said: "What I am most worried about now is the Xuzhou army. If the Xuzhou army is dispatched, it will cause a lot of trouble for our army to attack Guangling."

"Gong Jin is worrying too much. Pengcheng is [-] miles away from Guangling, and there are tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's army outside Pengcheng. How dare Lu Bu act rashly." Sun Ce said indifferently.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Bofu, Marquis Wen is very human. Looking at his actions after occupying Xuzhou, who would dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army? A small loss, more than half of the vanguard army was lost, the surprise attack failed instead, and during the battle, three generals were beheaded by the enemy, and the morale of Yuan Shu's army was low. At this time, Yuan Shu may continue to choose to stand still."

"And the most elite force under Lu Bu's command is the cavalry. With the speed of the cavalry, it only took a day to come to Guangling."

The smile on Sun Ce's face gradually subsided, and he also realized the urgency of the situation. According to common sense, Pengcheng's army would not be mobilized at such a time, but who can be sure.

The cavalry is also what Sun Ce yearns for. At present, there are only a hundred cavalry under his command, and it is difficult to compete with the Xuzhou army.

Sun Ce is aware of the huge consumption of building a cavalry team. Similarly, the destructive power of cavalry on the battlefield is astonishing.

Guangling City is the county seat of Guangling County.

After the news that Sun Ce led an army to invade Jiangdu, the deputy general Zhao Guang raised his vigilance, and the gates of the city were closed tightly, and the people were not allowed to go out.

The atmosphere in Guangling City seemed rather dignified.

At nightfall, a team of Xuzhou Army uniforms appeared outside Guangling City.

"Who is the defender of the city? Open the city gate quickly. Jiangdu has been captured by the Jiangdong army. The army will soon come after them." A general dressed as a village chief shouted anxiously.

These shouts caused quite a commotion in the city, Jiangdu fell, and the news that Jiangdong Army invaded Jiangdu was not long before such sad news came.

Junhou looked at the Xuzhou army outside the city, and felt a chill in his heart. Once Jiangdu fell, what would the defenders of Guangling do? Moreover, the captain Hou Cheng was still in Jiangdu city. What could be worse than the current situation? .

The Xuzhou Army outside the city had tattered armor. Against the backdrop of the flames, you could see a lot of blood on their bodies, and they looked embarrassed. It was obvious that they had gone through a hard battle. Even the flag of the Xuzhou Army was stained with blood. blood.

"Who are you?" Junhou asked.

The general dressed as the head of the village replied: "General, the humble position is Li Qin, the head of the Guangling Water Army. General, open the city gate quickly, and the Jiangdong Army is about to catch up."

Sensing the anxiety in the chief's tone, the Marquis nodded. Normal people must want to enter the city as soon as possible when they are hunted down.

"Open the city gate." Junhou ordered.

The city gate creaked open, and the defenders on the city were talking about it. The news brought to them by the Xuzhou army was too shocking. After Sun Ce led the army to break through Jiangdu, Guangling must be next.

And the Marquis also had many questions, and he needed to ask Li Qin, the head of the village, to lead his soldiers to the city.

After more than two hundred soldiers entered the city gate, Li Qin, the head of the village, raised a knife and beheaded a soldier guarding the city gate.

Seeing Li Qin like this, the soldiers who followed Li Qin showed their butcher knives one after another, and the shouts of killing immediately rang out at the city gate.

Article 292 General

The defenders of Guangling did not expect that these soldiers in Xuzhou army uniform would attack them.

When the Marquis who had just walked down the city wall saw this scene, his complexion changed drastically, and he shouted, "These are enemy soldiers, kill the enemy!"

Holding a spear, Li Qin was invincible in the Xuzhou army, but anyone who fought against Li Qin had no match for him. This made the defenders of Guangling look at Li Qin with a trace of fear.

"You rebels, attack Wenhou city, you will die a bad death." Junhou cursed, the anger in his heart can be imagined, if the city fell because of the opening of the city gate, he would be the sinner of Guangling.

With a flick of the spear in Li Qin's hand, two soldiers of the Guangling Army fell into a pool of blood, and there were shocking scars on their throats. , otherwise the army will come, and you will die without a place to die."

With a spear in hand, Cheng Pu looked quite mighty.

Junhou's complexion changed slightly. Guangling was close to Jiangdong. He naturally knew a certain amount of generals under Sun Ce's command. Cheng Pu was a well-known general in Sun Ce's army. Unexpectedly, Li Qin who just replied was actually a general in Sun Ce's army.

Regardless of whether the Guangling defenders who are fighting have heard of Cheng Pu's name before, the strong combat power Cheng Pu has shown now has shocked them, and no soldier even dared to step forward to fight Cheng Pu.

The Marquis shouted loudly: "General Zhao will soon lead troops to drive the enemy out and defend Guangling City."

The soldiers in Guangling were all trained by Hou Cheng. In terms of training methods, Hou Cheng borrowed the method of Pengcheng's army. Although the rewards were not as rich as Pengcheng's army, after Hou Cheng's training, the soldiers in the army showed The fighting power is still very good.

After seeing the performance of the Guangling soldiers, although Cheng Pu was surprised, he was more disdainful. The Guangling defenders had reinforcements. How could the Jiangdong Army not have them? It is impossible for more than [-] people to break through Guangling City.

The Marquis continued to command the soldiers in the army to step forward. They were a little flustered, but they still showed strong combat effectiveness in the process of resisting. For a while, it was difficult for Cheng Pu to lead the army to break through.

From the city gate to the city, there was a fierce confrontation, and soldiers from both sides fell in a pool of blood from time to time.

At this moment, two thousand Jiangdong troops rushed to the city gate.

The large-scale arrival of the Jiangdong Army has made the defenders panic. They also understand how serious the consequences will be if they give up their defense at this time. Only by driving the enemy out of the city can they have any hope of surviving. .

Cheng Pu was slightly surprised by the performance of the Guangling defenders. In the face of such a surprise attack, they were able to keep fighting. Just from this point, we can see the extraordinaryness of the Guangling defenders. I just heard how brave Lu Bu was, but I didn't expect that the soldiers under Lu Bu's command were also so powerful.

But now the situation has been settled, the Guangling defenders keep retreating, as long as the Guangling defenders are driven into the city, it is time for the Jiangdong Army to show their sharp fangs.

Zhao Guang, who was patrolling the city, learned that the Jiangdong Army was disguised as his own soldiers and was fighting with the defenders at the south gate.

If Guangling is lost, Zhao Guang, as the general in the city, will surely die.

Before that, Zhao Guang was just a military officer in the army. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the position of deputy general for Hou Cheng. It shows how much Hou Cheng trusts him. Only by preserving the city can he be worthy of Hou Cheng's trust.

Near the south city gate, the fierce fighting was still going on. After the Jiangdong Army's reinforcements arrived, the Guangling defenders kept retreating. In the process of blocking the Jiangdong Army's attack, they had already paid a high price.

After many soldiers were injured, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

This kind of scene moved Cheng Pu. If the same situation were placed on the Jiangdong Army, would the soldiers in the army maintain such a fierce fighting style when facing the attack of the wolf like a tiger?

The battle with the Guangling defenders forced Cheng Pu to think more. Cheng Pu even felt a little pressure from the Guangling defenders. Hou Cheng was not in Guangling City, and these troops were not the most elite soldiers under Lu Bu's command. If it is the most elite team in the Xuzhou Army, how terrifying it would be.

He had been fighting in Jiangdong for a long time. Cheng Pu thought that the combat effectiveness of Sun Ce's army was still acceptable. Compared with the army under Sun Jian's command back then, there was a certain gap, and it was not too big.

Cheng Pu led the elite soldiers into the Guangling defenders. He wanted to use the fiercest offensive attitude to make the Guangling defenders feel what the strongest attack is. No matter what, Guangling City must be broken this time.

In order to attack Guangling, the Jiangdong Army made a lot of preparations.

The two armies began to collide on the battlefield, but the Guangling defenders kept retreating under the attack of the army led by Cheng Pu, which showed the strength of the Jiangdong Army.

The spear brought up a smear of blood, and the military commander who commanded the soldiers to fight fell into a pool of blood.

Cheng Pu shouted: "The surrender will not be killed!"

The death of the Junhou obviously had a great impact on the defenders. Without the command of the Junhou, they fought on their own when facing the Jiangdong Army, and they were at an absolute disadvantage.

Squads of Jiangdong Army took the opportunity to enter the city, and they wanted to take control of Guangling as soon as possible before the defenders could react.

"Kill the enemy!" Lieutenant General Zhao Guangyun shouted with all his strength.

On the way to the south gate, more than [-] soldiers gathered around Zhao Guang. They followed Zhao Guang and joined the battle near the south gate without hesitation.

The arrival of Zhao Guang was a great encouragement to the Guangling defenders.

However, as more and more Jiangdong troops entered the city, the defenders of Guangling were gradually surrounded by the Jiangdong army. This was also Cheng Pu's strategy, so that these defenders could not see any hope of victory in such a battle. In this way, He Chou can't let these defenders put down their weapons and choose to surrender.

War is cruel, if there is a chance to survive, no one will refuse.

After the battle started, it's not that the defenders of Guangling took the opportunity to escape, it's just that there were not many in number.

"Put down your weapon and avoid death!" Cheng Pu shouted.

Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and said: "It's wishful thinking, as long as I am in the city, I won't let you traitors succeed."

Being able to promote Hou Cheng to the rank of lieutenant general, Zhao Guang still has a certain ability. He commanded the soldiers to fight against the Jiangdong Army with great vigor. Although the situation was critical, he still persevered.

Chapter 293 Lu Bu Killed

Cheng Pu frowned slightly, and quickly found Zhao Guang, who was commanding in the middle of the army, with a smile on his face, as long as he killed the generals defending the army, the rest of the battle would definitely be easier.

Even if Zhao Guang is quite capable, under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to stop the Jiangdong Army's attack.

The capture of Guangling was the beginning of the Jiangdong Army's big show in Xuzhou. As the general under Sun Jian in the past, Cheng Pu naturally hoped that Sun Ce's strength would become stronger and stronger.

"Go for it!" Cheng Pu swung the spear in his hand and came towards Zhao Guang.

Capture the thief first and capture the king. As long as Zhao Guang is killed, the battle will soon come to an end.

Cheng Pu was fierce, and many soldiers in the Guangling army even turned away when they saw Cheng Pu coming to kill him.

Seeing such scenes, the morale of the Jiangdong army was greatly boosted, and the generals in the army were brave, which was a great opportunity to defeat the enemy.

A powerful general still plays a big role in such a confrontation.

Looking at Cheng Pu who was getting closer, Zhao Guang raised the long knife in his hand decisively, shouted, and rushed forward.

Many Guangling soldiers rushed forward angrily, but their attack did not cause much trouble to the Jiangdong Army.
