Night falls.
But the city wall of Xiyu Mansion and the three miles outside the city of Xiyu Mansion were brightly lit, and they did not become dark as night fell. but.
In the coalition camp outside the city, there were people flickering and there were many noisy sounds, making it seem a bit lively.
Although Lu Bu led his troops to suddenly attack, which affected the battle plan and did not capture the Western Region Mansion today, it was only temporary.
According to the current situation in the Western Region Mansion.
Even if there is still harassment from the Lu army outside, they can directly capture the Western Region Mansion in the next attack.
Today's defeat was only because they were caught off guard by Lu Jun.
In addition, it was getting late, so they could only temporarily stop the attack on the Western Region Mansion, rest for a while, and then make plans.
Wait until tomorrow morning, then this situation will not happen.
Moreover, they already had a plan to deal with Lu Jun on the periphery.
They only needed to send one army to be vigilant about Lu Jun's actions, and that was enough.
After that, they will be able to seize the Western Region Mansion with all their strength.
They have a large number of people, so they only need to be prepared, and the Lu army is nothing to worry about.
If they come to attack again like today, no matter how powerful Lu Jun is, they are confident enough to keep all Lu Jun behind.
Finally, he captured the Western Region Mansion.
Then, they can inspire their military power and display their power at the same time.
Therefore, they have nothing to be nervous about.
It should be said that they don't feel that way.
In comparison.
On top of the city wall, it was much, much duller.
The flags that were inserted all over the city wall, fluttering in the wind, made a whining sound; and the firelight swaying in the wind kept flashing.
No one made a sound.
Except for a few soldiers standing here and there, looking at the movement of the coalition camp three miles outside the city, the rest of the soldiers, all holding blunt weapons, were sitting in various passages, leaning against the city wall, squinting their eyes.
To recharge your batteries.
After all, they all knew that the coalition forces were only retreating temporarily.
In order to prevent the coalition forces from sneak attacks in the middle of the night, they did not remove their armor, and after experiencing the fierce battle during the day, they were also physically and mentally exhausted.
There were more than 100,000 comrades, but now there are less than 30,000 left.
At the same time, it is also very clear that when the next coalition forces attack, they will follow the footsteps of the soldiers who died in the previous battle and sleep in this land forever.
Regret, maybe.
However, this will not negate the decision in his heart, the decision to stay here to block the progress of the coalition forces.
Therefore, the atmosphere on the city wall is also a bit heavy.
Cao Cao and others were also gathered together.
Their mood is not that good.
Although they know that the atmosphere is a bit heavy, they don't know how to say it.
In the current situation, nothing has much effect.
Moreover, now, there is no need to say anything more.
If you say too much, different situations may arise.
Although Xia Houyuan and others were discussing things, Cao Cao looked a little absent-minded.
Cao Cao was still thinking about Lu Bu leading his troops to rescue the siege.
He still had some doubts in his heart, and at the same time he was thinking about what Xi Zhicai had mentioned before.
Thinking about what the chances are.
He is not afraid of death, but if there is a chance, he can stop this huge coalition army outside the city from the Western Region Mansion and eliminate it here.
This is still what he hopes for.
When Cao Cao was thinking about things.
"Who is coming from the city?"

A shout rang out from the edge of the city wall.
Because of this sound, the resting Wei army soldiers, as well as Cao Cao and others were awakened.
Cao Cao also quickly led the people and walked towards the city wall first.
I saw a man and a horse under the city wall.
"I am Chen Gong, asking to see Emperor Wei."
The person who came was none other than Lu Bu's military advisor Chen Gong, and he was also sent here by Lu Bu.
Although he was the only one who came, it was because the coalition forces retreated three miles away and no one was sent to guard them, so they were planning to come at night.
Moreover, Lu Bu personally led hundreds of cavalry nearby to guard Chen Gong.
It's just that they didn't get close to the city wall, but were on the periphery to monitor the movements of the coalition forces.
With the help of firelight.
Cao Cao also recognized Chen Gong.
After all, they had met before.
"Quick, put down the basket and pull it up," Cao Cao ordered.
Now that the city gate has been blocked, we can only climb up the city with the help of ladders and ropes.
The ladders used to climb the city were used by the coalition forces to attack the city and were not left behind.
Now those who can climb the city can only tie the basket with a rope, put the basket down, and pull people up.
Hear Cao Cao's order.
The Wei army officers also quickly put the basket down and pulled Chen Gong up with force.
See Chen Gong being pulled up to the city wall.
Cao Cao and others quickly surrounded him.
They want to know why Chen Gong came here.
Similarly, they also have many things they want to find out.
Although they have made up their minds, they still want to figure out what happened.
When Chen Gong saw Cao Cao and others surrounding him, he felt somewhat enlightened.
He bowed his hands and saluted Cao Cao and others.
However, before he finished the salute, he was pulled by the impatient Cao Cao and walked towards the city gate tower. for such a situation.
Chen Gong didn't have any surprises and let Cao Cao pull him towards the city gate tower.
When he came here, he was entrusted by Lu Bu, and under Lu Bu's command, he was also the most suitable person to come here, and he could figure things out very well.
Although they are from different camps, they still admire what Cao Cao is doing now.
Otherwise, they would not have led their troops to support the Wei army, preventing the coalition forces from capturing the Western Region Mansion in one battle.
Walked into the city gate tower.
Before Cao Cao and others could speak, Chen Gong had already spoken first, telling the origin of the coalition forces outside the city and why their group appeared here.
But that's just a brief explanation.
To make a long story short, after all, there are so many things that cannot be explained in a short while.
So far.
Cao Cao and others also understood a lot of things.
It was also clear where the soldiers and horses outside the city came from and why they came.
There was also a look of shock on his face.
Even if Chen Gong said it very simply, they could also know from it how much things Lu Bu and others went through when they led the army to leave the Central Plains.
It won't be as simple as Chen Gong said.
Moreover, we also know that the appearance of Lu Bu and others is not a real reinforcement, but they just came to help after they had just withdrawn from the western land and encountered what happened here.
As for real reinforcements.
Even Lu Bu and others didn't know when they would arrive
