Xu Prefecture.
Under Xiaopei City.
Seeing that he could not persuade Liu Bei, Chen Gong sighed.
There were still 25,000 soldiers in Xiaopei City. If they attacked by force, they would lose a lot of soldiers. When Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou, it would be even more difficult to defend.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to outwit Xiao Pei.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly pulled Lu Bu and said,""Fengxian, first attack Xiaopei for a few days, then withdraw the troops. At that time, I have a plan to lure Liu Bei out of the city.”
"Mister, you have a brilliant plan?" Lu Bu was overjoyed.
Although he knew nothing about strategy, he was first-class when it came to marching, fighting, and attacking cities.
He naturally knew that luring the enemy out of the city was much easier than attacking the city.
"Yes, but the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Allow me to keep it a secret for the time being. When the time is right, I will inform the general.”
As Chen Gong spoke, he glanced at Chen Gui and Chen Deng.
He had to guard against these two people.
Seeing this, Lu Bu didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said to Zhang Liao,""Wenyuan, you lead 30,000 troops to attack the city first.”
Zhang Liao cupped his hands and accepted the order. After receiving the token, he ordered his generals and soldiers to personally attack Xiao Pei. Meanwhile, Lu Bu led the remaining soldiers to set up camp at the city.
He had brought fifty thousand infantry and thirty thousand Bingzhou cavalry.
Although Bingzhou's cavalry were elite, they were not good at attacking cities.
He brought it with him to deal with Cao Cao's Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
At the same time, it was also for the chase outside the city.
The army set up camp and Lu Bu personally led the cavalry to supervise the siege.
Under Zhang Liao's command, the 50,000-strong army took turns to attack the city.
In less than five days, Liu Bei could not hold on any longer. Taking advantage of the temporary retreat of Lu Bu's army, he stood on the city wall with his sword in hand and looked at Guan Yu beside him with a face full of dust and dirt."Commander Yun, how are our losses?"
Guan Yu frowned and said," Big Brother, Lu Bu's army is valiant. They are all soldiers of Western Liang who have been fighting for many years. Although our army has the advantage of defending the city, we have also suffered heavy losses. We have already lost 7,000 to 8,000 soldiers. At this rate, we can only hold on for ten days at most.”
"Ten days!"
"Only ten days left!"
Liu Bei looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with fatigue and helplessness." I wonder if Gongyou sent the letter to Cao Cao."”
"It's not too late for Cao Cao to come and save us!”
Sun Qian had already set off for more than ten days. No matter how slow he was, he should have arrived at Xuchang by now.
After all, it would only take two to three days for a fast horse to travel from Xiao Pei to Xuchang.
Cao Cao had already prepared his troops and was ready to send troops to rescue them at any time.
If they set off now, they would arrive in five to six days.
"Perhaps Cao Cao is already on his way to help.”
Guan Yu said.
Liu Bei nodded.
"You and Yi De will have to work hard these few days. As long as you hold on until Cao Cao arrives, we will win this battle!”
"Big brother, don't worry. Third brother and I will definitely protect Xiao Pei!”
Dong dong dong!
The two of them were about to speak when the drums of the entire army attacking came from below the city.
Liu Bei's face changed.”
"Doesn't Lu Bu's army need to rest?"
Guan Yu's expression changed. He looked down the city wall and saw a dense crowd of soldiers rushing towards Xiao Pei. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said," Big brother, have you noticed that Lu Bu's army is attacking the city even more urgently today?”
"Look, even Zhang Liao personally led the army to attack the city.”
He pointed at the city wall, and Liu Bei followed his gaze. Indeed, he saw Zhang Liao's general flag. Zhang Liao was in the army, leading thousands of personal guards to attack the city.
"A few days ago, Zhang Liao had been commanding from the rear and had never personally entered the battlefield.”
"He brought his personal guards to attack the city. Something must have happened that made Lu Bu anxious.”
Guan Yu's analysis shocked Liu Bei. He said happily," Could it be that Cao Cao has already dispatched his troops and is about to reach Xiao Pei?"”
"Otherwise, Lu Bu's army wouldn't be fighting so desperately! It was a siege that did not care about the losses.”
Guan Yu smiled and nodded." I think so too. According to my calculations, the Cao army will arrive in two or three days at most."”
Liu Bei relaxed.
He felt much better. He gripped his sword tightly." Let's go. Follow me to meet the enemy!"”
The two of them walked a few steps and bumped into Zhang Fei, who had just returned from urinating.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, you came just in time. Look at the city walls. That Lu Bu has sent all his troops to attack the city.”
Zhang Fei shouted in shock.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Bei laughed heartily. Even Guan Yu smiled.
" What are you laughing at??"
"Could it be that Lu Bu has really gone mad?”
Zhang Fei's eyes widened as he looked at Liu Bei and then at Guan Yu in disbelief.
"Lu Bu did this because Cao Cao's army was about to reach Xiaopei.”
"He's anxious!"
Liu Bei stopped smiling and continued to walk towards the city wall." Third brother, quickly follow me to kill the enemies. Hold on for a few days, and Lu Bu will retreat."”
"I was wondering why Lu Bu was so desperate. So it was Cao Cao.”
Zhang Fei laughed as he followed." I've been holding it in for the past few days. When Cao Cao's army comes, I'll go to the lower city and stab a few holes in that Lu Bu!”
"When the time comes, big brother will accompany you." Liu Bei was in a good mood.
"How can I be absent for this matter?"
"Then the three of us brothers will kill him together.”Zhang Fei laughed.
Only Zhao Yun frowned slightly. He had a nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right, but he didn't know what exactly was wrong.
They could only follow behind the three brothers and defend against Lu Bu's army.
