The sky was gloomy, and Lu Bu didn't like this weather very much.
After capturing Puyang, Lu Bu found that, as Ma Chao said, he once again had the strength to compete with Cao Cao.
The number of soldiers has also returned to 50,000.
As for food and grass, it was indeed funded by the Ma family, which was enough for two months.
However, Lu Bu also discovered that at this time, just as he had expected, it was the time to test him the most: after capturing Puyang, Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, defeating Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and other generals in one fell swoop.
But fate is not as good as fate.
Just when Lu Bu was sure that he could behead Xiahou Dun, the Yellow Turban rebels in Qingzhou turned out to be a mob and failed to block Cao Cao's advance.
Seventy thousand troops immediately gathered under Puyang City.
After a melee, Cao Cao went crazy and stormed Puyang City.
His desperate momentum made Lu Bu lament the paranoia and cold-bloodedness of Cao Cao: Within three days, the corpses of almost 10,000 Cao Cao soldiers were lying under Puyang City, but Cao Cao seemed to have just warmed up.
His gambling attitude was exactly like that of a gambler who has lost all his money and wants to use all his money to make money.
Today is the fourth night, and every soldier in Puyang City has tiredness written on his face.
But Lu Bu squatted gracelessly on the top of the city, the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand still extremely sharp, watching Cao Jun's movements with eagle eyes like fire.
"Bah."
A soldier spat out the dirt in his mouth and said dissatisfiedly to the people next to him: "This is not enough to let anyone live.
Do you think Cao Cao is crazy, knowing that he can't capture Puyang City, but he still fights so hard?
" "Gudu Gudu" the person next to him took a sip of water and wiped it casually: "There is no way, who let us encounter such a murderous lunatic.
My relatives are all in Puyang City, even if I risk my life, I will not We can’t let that murderous devil return to Puyang again.”
"I really hope this battle can end soon.
I haven't gone home to see my family for a long time.
I just don't know if I still have the life to go back."
The soldier who spoke just now lamented again, but then he couldn't help but said: " However, the lord is really brave.
When the deputy general of Cao Army died, he probably didn’t even see the figure of the lord."
"Don't worry, I promise, this battle will be over soon."
Lu Bu strode over, reached out and patted the soldier on the shoulder, with a rare smile on his lips, and said, "When we win this battle, , I will teach you martial arts, and let you visit your parents, wives and children with peerless martial arts and glory."
"Lord" The two of them suddenly fell to their knees.
After hearing Lu Bu's encouragement, they were even more excited.
The previous sighs and melancholy were swept away, as if they were even more expecting Cao Jun to attack the city at this time.
However, I don’t know if his prayer was heard by God.
At this moment, gongs and drums sounded outside the city.
Lu Bu stretched his head and looked down.
His expression turned sinister again, but the contempt and ridicule at the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger: Come on, Cao Cao, let me see who of us is more paranoid.
Invincible As if in an instant, there was a burst of shouting from the city.
After the thunder of military drums, another Cao army's thousand-man team began to advance with shouts.
Everyone held shields and ring-headed knives, protecting many people riding ladders towards the city.
The city wall rushed towards the city wall.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the archers on the city wall could not stretch out their heads to shoot arrows downwards, Cao Jun quickly leaned the ladders against the city wall and began to climb up.
At the same time, another twenty or thirty people pushed the cart to the city gate, and the huge impact overwhelmed the sound of war drums and horns.
Unfortunately, before a few collisions, the war drums sounded on the city, and rolling logs and rocks began to rain down.
The ladders were also pushed down by the rods.
Cao Jun's body fell from the mid-air, bloody and bloody, and the charging chariot was also hit by huge rocks.
Everything is in disarray.
Lu Bu looked at the battlefield calmly, knowing that this wave was just another ordinary probing attack.
Then, as expected, there was a sound of gold, and the Cao soldiers gradually retreated.
Lu Bu looked carefully and saw that most of Cao's soldiers had not climbed up yet, so there were not as many injured as he thought.

But after a while, Cao Jun's second wave of siege began again, and Puyang City also continued to fight back.
That night, Cao Cao's army attacked more than twenty times, but they were all superficial.
The defenders on the city, under the command of Lu Bu and other generals, were also very cautious and did not abuse wood and stone.
Near dawn on the second day, Cao Jun's army launched a fierce attack.
The offensive was in full swing.
The soldiers risked their lives and climbed up.
They even climbed onto the city wall and started a bloody battle on the city.
However, in the end, under Lu Bu's heroic counterattack, Cao Jun still retreated.
Lu Bu, who had not slept all night, looked at Cao Jun retreating like a tide, his brows seemed to be twisted into a knot, and he was anxious to send someone to Chen Palace to discuss matters on the city wall.
"General, there is a saying in the book of war: If a soldier emphasizes softness, he will make noise to scare him, shake him to stab him, strike him when he goes out, and turn back if he doesn't go out."
As soon as Chen Gong opened his mouth, it was an ancient saying in the book of war.
Before he could continue, he listened.
Lu Bu interrupted slightly angrily: "Gongtai" However, Chen Gong ignored Lu Bu and continued to explain: "The meaning of this sentence is that for an enemy who is hesitant and weak, use noise to intimidate him, use intimidation to touch him, and attack him as soon as he leaves the city. , if he did not leave the city, he would besieged him.
If someone else had attacked the city like this yesterday, the palace would naturally think that it was damaging the morale of our army, but if it were Cao Cao."
At this point, Chen Gong saw Lu Bu's interested face.
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Cao Cao's military tactics are deceitful, and most of them are false and true.
There must be only one reason for these successive attacks on the city."
"Cao Cao's army has run out of food."
Lu Bu suddenly reacted and shouted loudly: "In other words, we have waited for the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao."
"Yes, that's the case," Chen Gong nodded, and then said seriously again: "However, if Gong's prediction is correct, Cao Cao will launch a final counterattack today.
The battle will be tragic.
I hope the general is mentally prepared. good."
"Thank you Gongtai for your advice, Bu understands."
Lu Bu couldn't help but have a hint of joy in his eyes at this time, and he bent his burly figure towards Chen Gong.
Chen Gong left slowly and couldn't help but look back at Lu Bu: This man now not only knows how to be considerate of the subordinates, but also learned to obey the orders of the superiors.
As for the art of war and strategy, he has a different understanding of the master.
He's becoming more and more like a mature prince.
Sure enough, as Chen Gong said, there was no movement in Cao Jun's camp today.
The next morning, when the sun had just risen, Cao Jun launched the most brutal siege in history.
The sergeants pushed out more than a dozen catapults and rumbled out.
With an order, huge boulders rose into the air and hit the city wall heavily.
Although Puyang City was high and the pond was deep, the city wall did not waver, but the top of the city tower Rubbles flew and the city walls trembled in the roar.
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly shrank.
He saw the flesh and blood flying everywhere under the impact of the boulder.
Then he also saw the defenders in the city risking their arrows and starting to throw stones down to fight back.
Fortunately, Lu Bu was well prepared and the trebuchets on the city were so powerful.
It was extremely violent and hit Cao Jun's battlefield.
Although it was difficult to aim, only half of Cao Cao's trebuchets were smashed, but Cao Cao's front position was smashed to pieces, with blood and flesh and bones piled up.
The stone-throwing battle lasted for two sticks of incense.
During this short period of time, Lu Bu's heartbeat had been extremely rapid, and his eyes were full of blood and flesh.
At this time, his blood seemed to be burning faintly, and his eyes even saw the bleak and sad expressions of the soldiers of Cao's army before they died: these made Lu Bu feel hot in his body and excited to fight.
However, he must endure it and wait.
Just like a group of wolves hunting their prey, they have to catch the prey at its most relaxed and fatal moment.
Then, probably because of the lack of stones, the offensives of both sides slowed down and gradually stopped.
Cao Jun pushed the arrow tower and carried the ladder to attack the city again.

Although the height of the arrow tower was not as high as the city wall, it could barely withstand the city's counterattack.
The sharp arrows from both sides drew beautiful arcs in the air, passing through the strong flesh. , splashing out dazzling blood flowers, the blood of both sides spread out in front of the city wall, becoming a footnote to the eternal slaughter on the battlefield.
When Cao Jun charged upward again under the rain of arrows, this time the Puyang city wall was hit with hot oil and lime.
When the battered Cao Jun sergeant fell, countless straws and torches were dropped on the city wall, and the city suddenly became a sea of fire. , only a few agile sergeants escaped back.
The rest of the sergeants were surrounded by a sea of fire and burned horribly.
The miserable screams in the sea of fire were earth-shattering.
"There are still some shortcomings, and we need to continue until this night."
Lu Bu's eyes seemed to be shining with green wolf-like eyes.
He looked at the generals and Bingzhou wolf riders behind him who were ready to attack, and said with a strange smile: "Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of this.
We quietly retreated late at night, and we were the fangs that finally killed Cao Cao." s: This chapter will be updated regularly.
