Chapter 841: Shouchun City Breaks
The gate of Shouchun City, the third time today, the figure of an army appeared.
The people in the city were on the side, watching the excitement while discussing. What happened today? Why were the troops in the city sent out again and again?
Could it be that the enemy troops outside the city have retreated? If so, why would the soldiers sent out of the city look so serious?
But if the enemy does not retreat and transfer so many troops out of the city in succession, wouldn’t you want Shouchun City?
Not only these onlookers had this idea, but the soldiers of Yuan Shu who were left behind in the city also had the same concerns.
But they knew that just by their little pawns, they were simply powerless to change the decisions of the superiors.
Fortunately, their lord was not completely stunned and ordered that the city gate be blocked immediately after the soldiers who had left the city completely left.
Unless the lord personally ordered, the city gate would never be opened.
As long as the city gate is closed, with the defense of Shouchun City, even if tens of thousands of enemy troops attack the city at once, they will be confident that they can defend it for more than three days.
At that time, as long as General Han outside the city can return to help in time, their crisis will be lifted.
But there is still one question, that is, where did General Zhang go?
General Zhang is the backbone of all Yangzhou troops in the city. Even the lord Yuan Shu is not as high as General Zhang in their hearts.
Moreover, through this period of battle with the enemy, General Zhang has established great prestige in their hearts.
They believe that as long as General Zhang is here, Shouchun City will never be lost!
But not long ago, General Zhang went to persuade his lord to take back the order to continue rescue, General Zhang has never appeared again. Could it be that the lord left General Zhang in his mansion to discuss military information?
What if there is an enemy attacking them suddenly at this time? Who can convince the public without General Zhang, and who can help Shouchun be safe?
Originally, these were just some of the thoughts of the Yangzhou defenders, but I didn’t expect that God was so moody, and what made people feel most helpless was that they were often good and bad!
Just when these thoughts just emerged in the minds of the Yangzhou defenders, an emergency occurred suddenly.
Most of the rescue troops had just left the city, and at least 3,000 people remained in the city. The enemy suddenly emerged like mushrooms after a rain.
Originally, a stream of smoke and dust suddenly appeared, and the direction where the smoke and dust appeared was still the direction where General Han Xian and the others were.
The defenders of Shouchun thought that it was General Han who sent back to report the situation.
By the time they discovered that the scale of smoke and dust was wrong, it was too late, and about 5,000 elite cavalry from the enemy appeared within their sight.
The Yangzhou troops who were leaving the city at that time were in chaos.
Some people want to organize defenses on the spot immediately, some people are preparing to retreat to the city to defend with the right location, and some people are spinning around like headless flies.
For a moment, the entire team fell into panic. Their panic quickly caused a chain reaction, and the defenders guarding the city gate were also extremely panic.
It was under such circumstances that Lu Bu and his cavalry entered their ranks.
Lu Bu's courage can be said to be one of the top Han people in the world, and there is no general in Yangzhou who can compete with him alone.
Even Zhang Xun, the backbone of the Shouchun defenders, did not have the courage to fight alone with Lu Bu.
Without Shouchun's powerful defensive measures, Zhang Xun could not have stopped Lu Bu's attack at all.
What's more, Zhang Xun is now ordered to be detained by Yuan Shu. Zhang Xun, who is in the dungeon, has no way to know the situation in the city at this time, let alone the command headquarters to defend or counterattack.
The Shouchun defenders without Zhang Xun's command turned into a mess of sand, unable to stop Lu Bu's troops at all, and could not even stop them a little!
In this way, Lu Bu led his most elite 5,000 cavalry under his command to break through the defense lines of the Shouchun defenders and directly seized the open city gate.
At this time, the situation in Shouchun City became even more chaotic, and the panic of the Shouchun defenders infected the people around them watching the fun.
After learning that the enemy had seized the city gate, the people were so scared that they fled in all directions.
The people running around reduced the fighting will of the Shouchun defenders.
In addition, Chen Gong had already ordered the soldiers in Lu Bu's army to make momentum everywhere after they seized the city gate, creating the illusion that the army had broken the city.
This will not only reduce the will of the defenders in the city, but also cause panic in the entire Shouchun City, making their subsequent battles easier!
Lu Bu agreed with Chen Gong's decision. As the lord, he trusted Chen Gong so much. How could his soldiers not follow Chen Gong's decision?
For a moment, there were bursts of shouts in Shouchun City:
What enemy troops have entered the city and everyone has seized time to escape, what general Zhang Xun has surrendered, and what their lord Yuan Shu has escaped.
Anyway, all rumors that could shake the morale of Shouchun’s army spread throughout Shouchun City in a short period of time.
Yuan Shu, who was still in his mansion at this time, also received news that the enemy had entered the city.
At that time, Yuan Shu felt that his eyes were getting dark. At this time, he woke up. How stupid the decision he had just made was.
Even all the decisions he made today are stupid.
It is obvious that the military city should have been no longer in his own hands. It was just because the enemy blocked the news that he was unable to grasp the dynamics of the military city in time.
If Han Xian's men could detect this fact after the first time they encountered a stop, then there was no hope of defending Shouchun.
Even after the sound of Han Xian's second confrontation with the enemy, he could think calmly and stop making the decision to continue sending troops, or if he could listen to Zhang Xun's advice, the situation would not collapse so much!
But it is too late to say this now. Since the enemy has entered the city, unless he has the ability to defeat the opponent, Shouchun City will definitely fall into the hands of the enemy.
But even if Zhang Xun is released now, will he have the ability to defeat Lu Bu who has entered the city?
Yuan Shu knew that although he was stupid, he was not so arrogant that he was ignorant of the world.
He knew Lu Bu's skills very well, and Zhang Xun could never be Lu Bu's opponent.
Even if he releases Zhang Xun now, Zhang Xun can't stop Lu Bu's ten rounds. At that time, he will still become a prisoner of Lu Bu when he is in the city!
After a little thought, Yuan Shu made a decision, which was to immediately flee Shouchun with the guards beside him.
As for the wealth, you can take away as much as you can, and you can't take it away and set it on fire!
However, before leaving, he still needs to do one thing, that is, release Zhang Xun. Even if Zhang Xun is not Lu Bu's opponent, he can still buy some time for himself.
In this way, he can take his guards and run further.
Of course, Lu Bu, who knew he had escaped, would definitely fall into anger, and Zhang Xun, who stopped him, would become his first target to vent his anger.
But so what can this be done? What does it have to do with Zhang Xun’s death or life and now himself!
