Chapter 309: Defeating Gongsun
The east gate of Liaoyang City creaked slowly open, and the high-hanging suspension bridge slowly lowered.
Looking from a distance through the city gate, the fire in the direction of the Liaodong Army camp has become even more raging.
The raging fire instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the soldiers of Lu Bu's army.
Although they did not know why the enemy camp suddenly burst into flames, they were convinced that this must be a clever plan by their General Lu Bu.
Tonight, General Lu Bu will lead them to victory again!
Lu Bu was wearing a Xichuan flower robe, carrying a Fangtian painted halberd, riding a horse in front of the city gate. The firelight reflected his iron tower-like body, making him towering like a god general.
With his blade-like eyes, he scanned the soldiers and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, tonight is our moment to show off our power over the world. It belongs to men. Follow me and rush out of the city to kill all the enemy invaders!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The murderous aura that shook the sky suddenly rose up like an angry wave.
Lu Bu suddenly turned around, raised his horse, brandished the Fangtian Painted Halberd, and rushed out of the city gate like black lightning.
Five hundred Xiliang cavalry, like a raging torrent of steel, roared out, their iron hooves flying, rolling towards Gongsun Camp. The night was already deep.
Liaodong Army, Chinese Army Tent.
At this time, Gongsun Yuan and his counselor were having a drink together.
"Although we held on for ten days, we may not be able to hold on forever."
The counselor stroked his short beard with a secretly proud look on his face.
Gongsun Yuan looked delighted and raised his glass: "Sir, I think we should sit back and wait for the North Korean army to attack Liaodong, and then attack the Chu army together. Come on, sir, I respect you sir."
After the counselor heard this, he laughed and drank from his glass.
"I see that Lü Bu's men have also lost a lot of troops in the past few days. Why don't I mobilize all my troops tomorrow, attack Liaoyang City in one fell swoop, recapture Liaoyang City, and avenge Liaoyang City by killing Lü Bu."
Gongsun Yuan wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth.
The counselor said: "This thief Lu Bu will naturally be killed, but there is no need for the general to rush. Once more Gongsun Yuan's troops and horses are consumed, it will not be too late for the general to send troops."
Gongsun Yuan nodded, deeply agreed, and laughed and said: "Sir, you are right, come, let's drink."
The atmosphere in the big tent was lively.
Just as Gongsun Yuan was getting more and more interested in drinking, he suddenly heard a noise outside the tent, as if there were soldiers shouting.
Gongsun Yuan was suspicious, and when he was about to send someone to check, a sergeant hurried in and shouted in panic: "General, my army's grain farm has been burned down and a fire broke out."
"What!"
Gongsun Yuan was shocked and rushed out of the tent. As expected, flames shot up from the direction where the grain was stored in the back camp. It seemed that in an instant, tens of thousands of grains and grass were burned.
The look of the counselor who followed him also changed, and he asked suspiciously: "Such a fire was obviously caused by human power. Could it be that Lu Bu robbed the camp?"
"How is it possible? Our army's camp is strong. It is in a deep valley. It is so strong. Even if Lu Bu comes to rob the camp, how can he break through the camp wall without any warning? It is absolutely impossible."
Gongsun Yuan categorically denied the counselor's speculation.
However, the shouts of killing that accompanied the fire caused Gongsun Yuan's expression to change drastically.
There were killing sounds from all directions, and in the darkness of the night, it seemed like countless soldiers and horses were coming to kill, shouting "Kill Gongsun Yuan".
The cry of killing clearly came from within the camp.
At this time, Gongsun Yuan completely believed that the enemy army had really broken into his own camp.
But Gongsun Yuan couldn't figure out how the enemy could break through his iron-walled camp defenses. Not only did he burn his food and grass, but he also incredibly penetrated into the heart of the camp.
"How is this possible, how is this possible..."
Gongsun Yuan was so frightened that he was at a loss for what to do.
In shock, Gongsun Yuan reluctantly calmed down and ordered his soldiers not to panic, and immediately went out to fight.
At this moment, Gongsun Yuan suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking.
The rumbling sound came from far to near, as if countless beasts were approaching rapidly.
The cavalry is heavy cavalry, the heavy cavalry of Xiliang!
When he figured it out, Gongsun Yuan's face turned pale as a sheet.
Outside the Liaodong military camp, five hundred Xiliang cavalry led by Gongsun Yuan were approaching at full sprint speed.
In Lu Bu's field of vision, the fire in the enemy camp was getting bigger and bigger. He could even see clearly that in the light of the fire, the Liaodong soldiers were scurrying around like rats crossing the street.
Zang Ba's 800 raiding party not only burned Gongsun Yuan's food and grass, but also killed members of the Liaodong Army, causing the nearly 20,000 Liaodong Army to fall into a panic at a loss.
Lu Bu, who was running wildly, became more and more excited, and the murderous look on his face became more ferocious.
Five hundred Xiliang cavalry surged forward.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Yuan had led his troops to kill the enemy camp. At this time, the Liaodong Army's attention was attracted by the fire that broke out in the rear camp, completely relaxing the vigilance of the front camp.
When the Liaodong Army was alert, it was already too late.
Five hundred Xiliang cavalry, like devils rushing out of the underworld, suddenly burst out of the night, their iron hoofs unstoppable breaking through the heavy antlers of the Liaodong Army camp.
Lu Bu took the lead and crossed the outer trench with his horse. He wielded the Fangtian painted halberd with a rolling force in his hand.
With the sound of crackling and shattering, the Chu army camp gate was cut into four pieces by his halberd. One man and one rider crashed into the enemy camp like lightning.
The two oncoming enemy generals rushed over to stop the enemy who broke out of the camp, but when he recognized that the enemy general in front of him was actually Lu Bu, he fell into panic in an instant.
Lu Bu is a famous general in Xiliang, and the most brave general in the world. These Liaodong soldiers were already afraid of his name, but now they bumped into him and were intimidated by Lu Bu's reputation before they even had a fight.
Lu Bu showed no mercy, and Fang Tian's painted halberd swept out like a wheel.
The two enemy generals did not think much and raised their guns to block them.
"Bang! Bang!"
Amidst the two shattering sounds, the weapons in the enemy general's hands were shattered, and the two bodies spurting blood, like kites with broken strings, screamed and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
When they landed, Lu Bu had already galloped over their heads like flying.
When the two seriously injured enemy generals struggled to get up, they found in despair that countless Xiliang cavalry had swept away overwhelmingly.
Five hundred heavy horsemen poured into the camp, trampling their bodies, passing by with iron hooves, leaving only pieces of bloody corpses.
Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd danced like the wind, killing so smoothly.
The Xiliang cavalry, which had fought against the Liaodong Army several times, failed to defeat the opponent many times, and Zeng Jing's humiliation. The anger that had been accumulated for a long time seemed to explode at this moment, and Lu Bu wanted to wash away the anger in his heart with the blood of the enemy.
He and his Xiliang cavalry marched straight towards Gongsun Yuan's central army, walking on a carpet of blood.
At this time, 3,000 light cavalry followed closely and attacked the Liaodong Army's camp from three sides. They set fire to the wind and killed everyone they saw. Only 20,000 frightened Liaodong Army were killed until they were howling like ghosts and running away with their heads covered.
Fang Tian's halberd cut off countless heads. Lu Bu was like the sharpest spear, tearing through all obstacles. In a moment, he was in front of the central army.
Under the firelight, Lu Bu saw at a glance that the former General Gongsun was shouting at his soldiers in a panic, as if he was still trying to save the defeat.
"Damn it, I'll spare your life. If you still dare to provoke me, you are really looking for death."
Lu Bu was furious, clapped his horse and danced with Fang Tian's painted halberd to kill Gongsun Yuan.
Gongsun Yuan, who was in a panic, also discovered Lu Bu at this time. When he saw that Lu Bu was actually killing him, his expression changed greatly with fear.
"Quick, stop that traitor!"
Gongsun Yuan got on his horse and gave orders to the left and right to protect himself.
Although the soldiers on the left and right were afraid of Gongsun Yuan, in order to protect Gongsun Yuan, they had to muster the courage to come forward.
Lu Bu showed no mercy. Fang Tian drew his halberd and swept it from left to right, just like chopping vegetables and melons, cutting down seven or eight enemy cavalry who were charging forward.
When Gongsun Yuan saw that he could not stop Lu Bu, he was so frightened that he could not think of fighting, so he turned his horse and fled to the north.
How could Lu Bu allow his prey to escape? He chased after it with his horse racing like lightning and like the wind.
Gongsun Yuan was in panic, his legs and feet were shaking, and his horse could not speed up.
Lu Bu, on the other hand, relied on his momentum to approach Gongsun Yuan with his Pegasus, and in a blink of an eye, he was behind Gongsun Yuan.
At such a distance, as long as Gongsun Yuan Fang Tian reached out with his halberd, he could kill Gongsun Yuan and vent his hatred.
However, when Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd high, ready to chop it down, a flash of clarity suddenly flashed in his mind.
Killing Gongsun Yuan is simple, but the consequences are extremely serious.
If I kill Gongsun Yuan today, once Gongsun Yuan, as the last member of the Gongsun family, is killed by the Chu army, then the entire Liaodong army and people will hate Nie Zefeng and hate the Chu army. Then Liaodong will become a place of never-ending war.
The army can only protect Liaodong by properly arranging Gongsun Yuan, at least not killing him, or having a legitimate reason.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu calmed down for a moment.
It was originally a killing move aimed at taking lives, but it changed its momentum midway and made a false attack towards Gongsun Yuan.
Gongsun Yuan was startled when he saw Fang Tian's halberd approaching, and he suddenly dodged diagonally. With this delay, the horse under his crotch slowed down.
Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and chased after him. Without waiting for Gongsun Yuan to react, he stretched out his ape arms and dragged Gongsun Yuan off his horse like a chicken. Although Gongsun Yuan was born into a noble family, he had always practiced martial arts diligently, and he had also practiced martial arts.
A tall figure.
But he never expected that Lu Bu could pick up his heavy body so easily.
In shock, Gongsun Yuan also dropped the sword in his hand, instinctively pulled out the sword from his waist, and slashed at Lu Bu like crazy.
Lu Bu was already on guard. Fang Tian's painted halberd had been hung on the side of the horse. He freed up his right hand. When he saw the sword thrust, he easily avoided it and his vice-like palm grabbed Gongsun Yuan's wrist.
"If you dare to use such a dishonorable method in front of me, I think you are just looking for trouble."
Lu Bu cursed loudly and exerted force with his tiger palm. There was a "click" and Gongsun Yuan's wrist was broken.
"Ah~~"
Gongsun Yuan screamed in pain, and his handsome face was distorted to the point of being inhuman shape.
The big knife in Gongsun Yuan's hand threw him to the ground.
