Chapter 204 Hetao urgent report

"Uh~~No!" Before Jia Xu finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, "Lord, although this bamboo ladder in siege is extremely powerful, it has a fatal weakness."

Ma Yue was shocked when he heard this and said in a cold voice: "What weakness?"

Jia Xu said something slowly without hesitation. Ma Yue's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he said in a lost voice: "If it is as Wenhe said, there is almost no hope of capturing Lintao."

Jia Xu said: "However, there may not be such a weapon in Lintao City."

Under Hulao Pass.

Lu Bu fought in front of the pass for five consecutive days. The 18th Kanto coalition forces all closed their camps and no one dared to respond. The young general Zhao Yun asked for battle several times, but they were all stopped by Gongsun Zan. Zhang Fei wanted to go out to fight several times, but was held back by Liu Bei! Liu Bei thought that even Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the powerful general under Yuan Shao, died under Lu Bu's halberd. How could Lu Bu's strength be underestimated?

Liu Bei is not like Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has many powerful generals and counselors, but Liu Bei only has Guan Yu in front of the tent. Zhang Fei and two military generals are nothing more than Yuan Shao's death. But if Liu Bei broke Zhang Fei, it would be a trauma. So unless it was absolutely necessary, Liu Bei would not let Zhang Fei take the risk.

This situation did not change until the sixth day.

On the sixth day after the 18th Kwantung Alliance Army entered Hulao Pass, Ma Yue's general Xu Chu escorted food and grass from Youzhou to Hulao Pass.

As soon as Xu Chu arrived at the military camp, he heard someone fighting in front of the pass. When he walked up to the gate, he saw that it was Lu Bu in Bingzhou. However, there was no sound in the 18th Kanto Alliance Army camp, and no one dared to go out to fight. Xu Chu couldn't help but be furious, and took a wolf-toothed hammer and stepped onto the Dayuan BMW to go out to fight Lu Bu.

Ma Teng and Guo Tu fought desperately to stop him, but they were unable to stop him.

Xu Chu slapped the horse out of the formation, raised the wolf-toothed hammer with one hand and pointed at Lu Bu from a distance, shouting in the air: "Child Lu Bu, do you know someone?"

"Um?"

Lu Bu was riding back and forth on the horse, and suddenly he saw the gate of the Guandong Army camp open. A general like an iron tower was already galloping out. When he looked closely, he suddenly realized that the general was actually Xu Chu, the old opponent who had fought at the Bison Ferry! But that happened more than a year ago. In that battle, the two of them fought together ten times without a chance of winning.

After that, Ma Yue ordered the verdict to use a cold arrow, and Lu Bu was caught off guard and almost died at the hands of Xu Chu.

"It's you?" Lu Bu's eyes sterned and he said in a deep voice, "Xu Chu!"

Lu Bu can be said to have a fresh memory of that battle, and of course he will never forget Xu Chu.

Xu Chu waved the wolf-toothed hammer in his hand majestic and shouted loudly: "Last time at the Bison Ferry, you were lucky enough to escape your life. This time, you will definitely make blood splatter on the spot."

As soon as Xu Chu said this, the Kanto soldiers who were huddling in the camp to watch the battle were immediately regained their spirits!

I thought that Lu Bu had killed Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other sixteen generals of Guandong were already unparalleled. Unexpectedly, there were even more powerful generals in the coalition. Judging from this posture, the two seemed to have had a fight before, and Xu Chu had the upper hand, but I didn't know whether it was true or false?

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other eighteen Kwantung warlords who had just climbed to the gate changed their colors and looked around and asked, "Who is this?"

Someone who knew Xu Chu whispered: "This person is the governor of Liangzhou, the Marquis of Guannei, and the son-in-law of the prince-in-law Ma Yue, the powerful general Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang."

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others immediately looked jealous when they heard this, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei were frightened.

The warlords in the eighteen towns had their own thoughts. Suddenly, they heard a loud shout in front of the pass. When they looked up quickly, they saw Lu Bu turning his halberd horizontally, pointing at Xu Chu and scolding: "Xu Chu, every man! Don't be arrogant. If the butcher of horses had sent someone to shoot a secret arrow to plot against this general, you would have been dead for a long time."

"Please blow your breath!" Xu Chu shouted, "Do you dare to fight with someone for another three hundred rounds?"

Lu Bu laughed furiously and said in a long voice: "Even if I release the horse, if I cannot kill you on the horse today, I will definitely commit suicide to thank the world!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The two shouted loudly at the same time and rode their horses forward quickly.

Suddenly, the two riders intersected, and Lu Bu let out a long roar, slashing out with all his strength! The Fangtian Painted Rider, which was more than three meters long, drew a dazzling cold light in the air, like a rushing dragon, slashing across with a brutal murderous aura. Xu Chu's eyes widened, his expression was ferocious, and his strong arm muscles suddenly rose up. With the loud shouts of thunder, the heavy wolf-toothed iron hammer had already met without any tricks.

"Bang!"

Fang Tian's painting halberd and the wolf-toothed iron hammer were fiercely fighting each other. Amid the sound of gold and iron clashing throughout the sky, Lu Bu and Xu Chu were tilted and almost fell from the horse's back. The two hurriedly dragged their weapons and crossed them. In the first round, the two were still evenly matched! But in fact, Lu Bu had the upper hand. If Xu Chu had not used the help of stirrups, he would have been knocked down by Lu Bu.

Xu Chu turned around quickly, feeling his arms were sore and weak, and he couldn't feel tired. In a short period of time, he could no longer lift the wolf-toothed hammer over his head. He was shocked but refused to admit defeat and gave in. He smiled grimly at Lu Bu: "How? Grandpa's hammer doesn't feel good, right? Hehehe~~"

"I'm afraid my foot is even worse than someone, right? Humph!"

Lu Bu also felt his arms numb and shocked, but he could barely raise the Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

When Hulao was closed, Dong Zhuo was shocked and looked around and said, "This man is so skillful in martial arts, he is not under Fengxian! But he doesn't know whose subordinate he is?"

Zhang Liao, who had just been promoted to General Hu Ben, stepped forward and replied, "Lord, this person is Xu Chu, the general of Ma Yue. He had a fight with General Fengxian at Ye Niudu. He did not decide the winner within ten rounds and could be called a strong enemy of the general!"

"Ma Butcher General Xu Chu?" Dong Zhuo's face changed, and a trace of inexplicable worry suddenly flashed through his eyes, and he murmured, "Ma Butcher Ma is in Liangzhou now, and I don't know what the war in Liangzhou is going on?"

Liangzhou, Lintao.

The Qiang soldier and commander Dian Ling were like a hard stone sculpture, standing firmly on the enemy's building. In the wilderness within Dian Ling's vision, the black enemy troops were like dense ants, gathering into a vast ocean, slowly towards Lintao City, but unstoppable crushing.

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

The heaven and earth were filled with loud and uniform sounds of trumpets. Every time the Ma Yue army soldiers arranged in square formations took a step forward, they raised their heads and made a shrill sound.

Hey! What is that?

Dian Ling's eyes suddenly contracted, staring at the two moving "high platforms" in front of Ma Yue's military formation. Although the distance was far apart, with years of experience, Dian Ling could still roughly estimate that the two "high platforms" that were slowly moving forward were about ten feet wide and had a height of five feet, which was almost equal to the height of the Lintao City Wall!

The Qiang soldiers guarding the city walls had also discovered these two high platforms. The Qiang soldiers who had never seen this ghost had already screamed in shock.

"What the hell is that?"

"It's almost as high as the city wall!"

"It's moving, my goodness! That ghost is moving forward!"

Dian Ling ignored the panic screams of the Qiang soldiers and hurriedly climbed the observation tower in the corner of the enemy tower. Standing on the observation tower, you can just look down at the entire battlefield. The whole picture of the two "high platforms" moving forward was also fully visible! But after seeing the full picture of the two high platforms, Dian Ling felt more and more serious.

"General~~" A small school who followed Dian Ling to the observation tower was already screaming, "Those are two siege ladders! The enemy can directly rush up to the city tower along the gentle slope behind. Oh my God, this ghost thing is so terrible! To move such a huge siege ladder, how many people need to pull it together?"

"Idiot!" Dian Ling cursed impatiently, "Did you see someone pulling him?"

“Uh~~”

The school was speechless, and then suddenly realized that no one was pulling the two siege ladders in front and no one was pushing them behind. It seemed that they were moving, which looked particularly strange! Suddenly, an extremely fearful thought flashed through the school's mind and said with a sniff: "Can the enemy drive away ghosts and gods to help?"

"Nonsense!" Dian Ling cursed, "What kind of virtue is the butcher of horses? How can he ask for help from ghosts and gods? Go and take someone to carry the four big guys left by the lord before leaving to the top of the city."

The little school said in confusion: "Ah, what do you want those four big guys to do?"

Dian Ling roared: "You can't go quickly!"

The school was startled and went downstairs in a hurry.

Before Hulao Pass.

Xu Chu was running wildly, his iron armor was being picked up, and the scarf on his head fell off, and even the wolf-toothed iron hammer in his hand disappeared. Fortunately, he was not injured, but Xu Chu was not grateful because Lu Bu was chasing behind him like a maggot with bones.

Whether it is physical strength or martial arts, Xu Chu is slightly inferior to Lu Bu. Although he has the help of stirrups, for masters like Xu Chu and Lu Bu, the impact of whether the stirrups exist or not is extremely limited. Xu Chu barely supports them until fifty rounds and is gradually at a disadvantage.

After more than ten rounds, Xu Chu finally lost and fled.

Xu Chu's Dayuan horse is already one of the BMWs in a million, but compared to Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse, he was caught up several times by Lu Bu. Fortunately, Xu Chu had the help of stirrups, and finally avoided the disaster of killing by hiding in the stirrups several times! But the price was that the armor, weapons, and scarves were picked up by Lu Bu.

Now Xu Chu is without armor and has no armour. If he is caught up by Lu Bu again, even if Xu Chu knows the horse, no matter how superb the riding skills are, he will probably not be able to escape the fate of being cut into two pieces! But the only thing that is fortunate is that Xu Chu has already escaped to the camp of the Kanto Alliance Army at this time.

When Lu Bu was riding his horse and chasing him, he suddenly saw the gate of the coalition camp open, and three fast horses rushed out of the gate.

"Children Lu Bu, Guan Yu is here!"

"Slaves from the three surnames, Zhang Fei from Yan is here!"

"Zhao Yun is here!"

Lu Bu's heart was filled with a fierce battle with Xu Chu just now, and he fought hard. Although Xu Chu was exhausted, Lu Bu was also exhausted. At this time, he saw three generals suddenly appearing in the gate of the coalition army, especially the white-robed young general on the left, which shocked Lu Bu. Just by relying on yesterday's arrow, Lu Bu knew that this man's martial arts was not weak.

Knowing that Lu Bu was defeated, he rushed back and rushed to Hulao Pass. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to block the killing. Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass was afraid that Lu Bu would make mistakes, so he also ordered Zhang Liao to lead 8,000 Liangzhou cavalry to fly out of the pass to meet him. The two armies fought in a melee, and each suffered casualties and wounded each other until it was dark. They both called out to withdraw their troops.

That night, Dong Zhuo's big tent.

Dong Zhuo said to Li Rudao with a worried look on his face: "Although my son Fengxian is extremely brave, he can't beat six hands with both fists. If the Guandong coalition forces rushed forward, they will inevitably suffer losses. I wonder what good strategies Wen Xiu has to do to get rid of the enemy?"

Li Rudao: "Lord, don't worry, Ru has already set aside his enemy."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo said happily, "I wish to hear it."

Li Rudao: "The lord can order Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to lead a military horse to go out of the gate overnight, build camps on the left and right sides of the Guandong Army camp, and then build dirt mountains in the camps. High oars are built on the dirt mountains, and high oars are guarded by good shooting men, and shoot arrows in the Guandong Alliance Army camp day and night. I think the Kwantung Army will inevitably be in chaos and will be forced to withdraw from the camp later. In this way, Hulao Pass will be as safe as Mount Tai."

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, couldn't help but say, "It's wonderful, this discussion is very wonderful, so let's arrange it as Wen Xiu said."

Li Ru smiled flatteringly, clasped his fists and bowed, "Ru received the order."

Liangzhou, Lintao.

Dian Ling slashed the heavy sword raised by him hard, and shouted shrillly: "Let me!"

"Roar~~"

More than a hundred Qiang soldiers with red upper bodies and muscles raised in the grave roared at the same time, clenching the chain wrapped in their hands down. More than a hundred people exerted force at the same time, and instantly gathered into a powerful force, hugging a piece of cross-bone that was thick with one person in his arms and was stretched up to a high height.

There are two thick cables connected to the other end of the horizontal wood. The end of the cable is firmly tied with a large woven basket of thorns. A stone the size of a millstone is contained in the blue! When more than a hundred people pull the proximal end of the horizontal wood at the same time and pull the far end up to erect at a faster speed, they pull the basket at the end of the cable and the stones in the basket to rise up to the sky.

Finally, the cable drew an arc with the far end of the horizontal tree as the center, and finally threw the stones in the basket out. The huge stones rolled forward from the air with a huge roar. They flew dozens of feet away before they fell down from the sky.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the stones falling from the sky had already fallen hard in front of the Ma Yue army, only a short distance from the slowly moving forward "high platform".

"Aoao~~"
