Night.
Lu Bu, who had inspected the city and was quite satisfied with the city defense, returned to Fuzhong.
With a little tiredness, Lu Bu still went to the room, the house was still brightly lit, but he saw Diao Chan flipping through the book under the lamp, and waited for him alone in the empty room for a long time.
Diao Chan looked up and saw that it was Lu Bu who had returned, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly got up to greet him.
While skillfully removing her husband's clothes and armor, she inquired about today's tour of the city.
"Although Chen Deng's 1,000 soldiers and horses are all private soldiers, the discipline is also strict, and with the help of this person, the potter's kid doesn't want to break down."
In Lu Bu's tone, he regained his domineering self-confidence.
Diao Chan also breathed a sigh of relief, but remembered something, Hua Rong added a little sadness, and sighed faintly: "It's naturally good to be able to get through this difficulty, but it's a pity for Lingji, and I don't know if she is dead or alive now." ” Which pot is she not to mention which pot, Lu Bu has been depressed about the loss of her daughter recently, and her mood has only gotten better, and she has hooked up the unbearable past, and her face can't help but sink.
Diao Chan didn't see the change in Lu Bu's expression clearly, and still muttered in his mouth: "Before my sister left, I told me to take care of Lingji, but now Lingji's life and death are uncertain, I really don't know how to explain to my sister."
"Alright, stop nagging."
Lu Bu couldn't listen to it and interrupted her, "I'm tired too, let's rest early." ” After that, Lu Bu lay on the couch, and in a moment, he snored loudly.
Diao Chan's stunning face showed a little helplessness, looking at her husband who was sleeping heavily, and sighed softly.
The next day, the Tao army outside the city began to attack Xiapi City and the northeast second gate of Xiapi.
Forcibly attacking the city has never been the style of potters, and this strong attack is just to cover Chen Deng's internal and external cooperation, deliberately attracting the defenders in the city to the two gates in the northeast After four days of continuous attack, nearly 700 soldiers were lost, and Xiapi City was still not breached.
After repelling several attacks by the potters, Lü Bu was confident and became more and more sure that Chen Deng's strategy was correct.
At the same time, good news is coming from the north.
Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei, had led 5,000 elite soldiers into the territory of Pengcheng, and was moving south along Surabaya, heading straight to Xiapi.
Lü Bu couldn't wait for Yuan Shu's reinforcements, but when he waited for Liu Bei, the plan of the inner and outer alliances was put back on the agenda, so he sent messengers out of the city to contact Liu Bei.
Encouraged by all kinds of good news, Lu Bu's shaken morale and the panicked hearts of the people seem to be gradually recovering.
Soon, after the arrival of the army led by Liu Bei, the former state pastor, the pottery merchants will definitely be defeated, and peace can finally be restored to Xiapi City.
Most of the Xiapi people are thinking like this.
Lu Bu didn't know that when the Northeast Second Gate was under fierce attack, the main force of nearly 10,000 potters was quietly approaching in the direction of Xiapi West Gate.
At dusk, the young figure of the potter appeared outside the West Gate.
Lema looked into the distance, the dusk sun plated the city wall with a layer of gold edges, and the Xiapi City on the west gate was immersed in silence.
"Lu Bu, it's finally time to end everything," a cold smile rose into the corner of the potter's mouth.
Behind him, 10,000 cavalry soldiers were solemn, and every young face was burning with blood and murderous aura.
Chen Deng had sent someone to secretly write a letter last night, agreeing that in the evening of this day, he would cut off the drawbridge, open the west gate, and let his army enter the city, helping him to capture Xiapi City in one fell swoop.
As soon as the city gate is opened, his army will pour into the city, even if it is ten Lu Bu, they will not want to stop his troops, and the city will be broken.
Looking at the remnant sun sinking in the west, the potter took a light breath, raised his hand and shouted: "The appointed time has arrived, light the fire." ” When the order was laid, three beacon fires were lit, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.
On the first line of Xipi Gate, the defenders quickly paid attention to three black smokes, and then they were horrified to find that the black pressure was like a dark cloud covering the sun of the Tao army, thousands of them, had silently approached the front of the city.
"The Tao army is attacking the city, the Tao army is attacking the city" The first sentinel to be found screamed, and soon, the defenders of the city who discovered the enemy's situation all shook.
Chen Denghe and Hao Meng, who was responsible for assisting him in defending the city, heard the sound of the siren, went straight to the city, and saw the overwhelming Tao army outside the city, and their faces changed.
"What's the matter, isn't the pottery merchant storming the second gate in the northeast, how could he suddenly turn to attack the west gate, and there are so many soldiers and horses" Hao Meng said in astonishment.
Chen Deng frowned, and said calmly: "General Hao doesn't need to panic, the attack of the second gate must be the suspicious army of the pottery merchant, our west gate is his real main direction of attack, and it is necessary to report to the lord to send reinforcements as soon as possible." ” "You're right, I'll send someone to report to the lord."
Saying that, Hao Meng turned around and prepared to give an order.
At the moment when he was instantaneous, the corners of Chen Deng's mouth hooked up a touch of hideousness, drew his sword in his hand, a cold light flashed, and the bloody human head came out of his neck, flew into the air, and then fell to the head of the city under the stunned gaze of everyone.
Hao Meng's headless corpse shook and fell.
Chen Deng stood with his sword horizontally, the blade of the sword dripping blood, and he was cold and cruel, which was terrifying.
On the first line of the city, the soldiers and soldiers of Lu who belonged to Hao Meng were all stunned, all of them were stunned, they couldn't figure out why Chen Deng wanted to kill their general.
"Kill" The sound of killing was loud, and the screams came and went, and in the blink of an eye, Sergeant Lu woke up.
Chen Deng's 1,000 private soldiers immediately mutinied, and they all drew their swords to kill Hao Meng's soldiers, killing them by surprise.
Due to the pottery merchant's suspicious tactics, Lü Bu transferred most of the soldiers and horses to the second gate in the north and east, and the defenders on the first line of the west gate, in addition to Chen Deng's 1,000 private soldiers, only Hao Meng's 300 soldiers. 1,300 soldiers and horses, even if the potters attacked, were enough to resist for a while, until Lu Bu led the main force to come to the rescue.
However, no one thought that Chen Deng would choose to betray Lu Bu at this time.
Hao Meng was executed, and there was no leader in the 300 troops, and the number was far less than that of the rebels, and he was killed and fell apart in a blink of an eye.
Soon, the suspension cable was cut and the drawbridge crashed down.

The troops at the gate of the city also defeated the soldiers defending the city, and more than a dozen of the most elite private soldiers of the Chen family worked hard to slowly knock open the west gate of Xiapi.
Chen Deng put away his long sword, stood at the city tower, and waved the red battle flag with his own hands, sending a signal to the potters outside the city.
Outside the city, the pottery merchants saw the mutiny on the front line of the city gate clearly.
The drawbridge has been lowered, the city gate has been opened, and Chen Deng really did not lose his trust.
The potter's spirits were greatly boosted, and he immediately prepared to wave his army into the city.
At this time, Lian Po reminded: "Lord, although the city gate is open, if this is Lu Bu's trick, what should I do, please lead the army into the city first, and then the lord will enter the city again." ” The potter's heart was shocked, and he thought that Chen Deng was a scheming person, but it was not impossible to do so, but it was not necessary to rely on the lucky attribute every time.
Lian Po didn't know that the potter still had an artifact.
"System Elf, Chen Deng is in the field of vision, scan his loyalty for me."
The potter ordered in a hurry.
"The Di system has been scanned, and the subject Chen Dengzhong's degree is 10."
The loyalty of only 10 is low enough, it seems that Chen Deng is cunning enough, and his surrender is just forced by the situation.
However, this is enough, as long as the loyalty is not zero, it is enough to trust him temporarily.
"Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, I expect that Chen Deng's surrender is true."
The potter did not have a trace of fear, the eagle shot at the enemy city, drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army will attack, and follow the herd of Benzhou to enter Xiapi" In the roar, the potter danced his sword and killed, and Hua Mulan hurriedly guarded the left and right, followed out, and protected the left and right.
The 10,000-step cavalry behind him, under the leadership of Lian Po, burst out and killed Xia Pi Ximen like a landslide.
The sound of angry waves of shouting and killing shook the nine heavens, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and the heavens and the earth changed color.
The potters took the lead, crossed the drawbridge, passed through the city gates, and roared into Xiapi City. 10,000 cavalry soldiers, like a flood breaking through the floodgates, rushed into the city of Xiapi, and ruthlessly slashed at the enemy who was in a hurry.
The blood road extends from the west gate into the city, all the way into the city, and extends towards the center of Xiapi At the head of the city, the big banner of the word "Lu" was kicked to the ground, and the battle flag of the word "Tao" was erected high.
Xiapi, broken isjgy:
