Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Liao was outside the city, watching Zhou Tai and his men leave. Then the city gates closed again, and he quietly followed Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was very cautious along the way.

When Zhou Tai set out, Lu Xun had been warning Zhou Tai not to be careless and to send someone back to inform him immediately if he found any trace of Zhang Liao.

However, after walking for half a day, Zhou Tai did not find any problems and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As Zhou Tai relaxed his guard, the generals and soldiers of the Wu army could not help but relax as well.

However, at this moment, the sound of branches breaking was heard all around.

The sound was not loud, but very dense, and it was obvious that a group of people appeared around them.

Zhou Tai's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

At this moment, Zhang Liao rushed out from the side with Iron Pagoda.

"Enemy attack, be on guard!"

As soon as the voice came out, 10,000 Wu soldiers immediately changed their formation and prepared to defend against Zhang Liao.

Looking at the direction Zhou Tai fled, Zhang Liao knew that this guy was going to Duanxi City.

After running for a while, Zhou Tai saw that Zhang Liao did not catch up with him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw rows of Iron Pagodas standing in front of him, holding cold swords in their hands, looking at him.

"this……"

Zhou Tai then understood why Zhang Liao stopped chasing them. This was completely blocking all their routes back to Duanxi City.

In order to retain as many soldiers as possible, Zhou Tai immediately led his men to Guangxin City, because that was the only road with lax defense.

Of course, this was also done intentionally by Zhang Liao.

After Zhou Tai and others escaped, Zhang Liao and his men cleaned up the battlefield and quickly stripped the clothes off the corpses of the Wu soldiers on the ground.

Soon, Zhang Liao and a group of people arrived outside Duanxi City.

The rest of them were pursuers disguised as Iron Pagoda, chasing slowly from behind.

When he arrived at the city, Zhang Liao hid in the crowd. The main reason was that he had no choice. His appearance had long been remembered by the generals of Eastern Wu. As long as he showed up, the other side would definitely find him.

The deputy commander of the Iron Buddha shouted to the Wu army on the city wall: "What are you doing? Hurry up and open the city gate. Don't you see that there are pursuers behind us?"

The soldiers guarding the city had never seen the deputy commander before, and they were a little hesitant, not knowing whether they should open the door.

At this time Xu Sheng came over.

"What's going on?"

After seeing Xu Sheng coming, the soldiers guarding the city immediately reported the situation to Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng looked at the disguised Wu army below, and the Iron Buddha who were chasing him not far behind him.

"Whose people are you?"

"General, I am a centurion under General Zhou Tai. We have encountered an ambush by Zhang Liao. General Zhou Tai asked us to report to you. Once we enter the city, close the city gates immediately. They have already rushed to Guangxin City."

These words were originally given to the deputy commander by Zhang Liao a long time ago.

According to Zhang Liao's guess, if he said he was in a too high a position, the people guarding the city would probably know him, or at least would be familiar with him.

But a centurion, although his position is not very high, has the power to command troops, and bringing them back will not arouse too much suspicion.

But what Zhang Liao didn't expect was that he had hit the mark unexpectedly. Lu Xun's plan was to come back and inform him immediately if he was attacked by Zhang Liao, and Xu Sheng also knew this.

Seeing the Iron Pagoda getting closer and closer behind him, the deputy commander urged again: "Open the city gate quickly and let us in."

Xu Sheng did not stop and ordered his men to half-open the city gate. After Zhang Liao and others entered the city, he quickly closed the gate to block the pursuing Iron Pagoda.

Zhang Liao left a group of people to guard the city gate, and took another group of people into the city wall.

He had been waiting for Xu Sheng there for a long time, and when he saw the deputy commander coming up, he immediately prepared to step forward.

But soon, Xu Sheng saw Zhang Liao walking at the end of the crowd with his head down, and his face suddenly changed.

"Come here, take them down, these people are Zhang Liao's men."

As the voice fell, all the Wu soldiers reacted and drew out their knives.

Zhang Liao saw that his whereabouts were exposed, so he no longer hid. He wielded the Yellow Dragon Hook Scythe in his hand with great force, and wherever he passed, there were only corpses.

Seeing their commanders acting so bravely, the Iron Buddha soldiers were shocked and their hacking and killing movements became even faster.

Xu Sheng did not participate in the battle, but immediately spread the news of the attack on the city gate.

Seeing that more and more Wu troops were gathering, Zhang Liao knew that being surrounded and attacked was not a good thing for them.

"Open the city gate and let the brothers outside in."

Following Zhang Liao's order, the Iron Pagoda controlling the city gate immediately opened it.

The people who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed directly into the city.

The moment the two sides fought, Zhang Liao started a life-and-death battle.

Zhang Liao no longer lingered on the city wall. Since the people outside had been let in, there was no point in guarding the city wall anymore.

Everyone rushed back to the city from the city wall and mounted their own horses. At this time, the power of the Iron Pagoda was fully demonstrated.

Five hundred people were divided into five small teams and ran wildly in the city. The Wu army behind them could only chase them on foot. After finally catching up with them, they were still trapped by the Iron Buddha. While they were out of breath, they were killed by the Iron Buddha.

After learning about the situation in the city, Lu Xun immediately rushed out of his room.

When they saw Zhang Liao leading the way, they drew their swords one after another and prepared to fight Zhang Liao to the death.

Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin immediately hugged Lu Xun.

"General, let's go quickly. The city can no longer be defended. The best way is to get out quickly and organize the remaining troops."

After hearing Jiang Qin's words, Lu Xun calmed down. After thinking for a while, Lu Xun led his men and left through the city gate.

As Lu Xun escaped, the Wu army in the city stopped fighting and focused on how to escape.

An hour later, there was no living person in Duanxi City except Tiefutu.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Zhang Liao knew that they could not clean up the battlefield with just 500 men. Their purpose in taking Duanxi City was not to defend the city, but to take the dock.

Soon, all the iron pagodas arrived at the dock.

Zhang Liao waved his hand and took out all the kerosene from Lu Xun's warehouse.

In order to defend Duanxi City, Sun Jian prepared a lot of city defense resources for Lu Xun, including a large amount of kerosene, but now, all the kerosene was spilled on Sun Jian's own dock.

After the port was destroyed by fire, Zhang Liao did not leave, but began to prepare to defend the city.

Their goal was to destroy the entire port. It would take some time for the fire to burn, and they would have to defend the city for at least a day to completely destroy the entire dock. Otherwise, Lu Xun would be able to easily repair the dock.

When Lu Xun arrived outside the city and saw that Zhang Liao had not chased him out, he immediately gathered up the defeated soldiers he could still find.

After gathering everyone, Lu Xun discovered that there were still more than 4,000 people.

When he saw that he still had more than 4,000 people, Lu Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Based on Zhang Liao's historical record, he could still have more than 4,000 people left in one hour. This was obviously because street fighting was not suitable for cavalry. If it were a plain, I'm afraid none of his 4,000 people would be left.

Just as Lu Xun was thinking about how to fight back, he saw flames rising from the city.

Seeing the fire, Lu Xun knew without hesitation that the dock must be on fire.

This made Lu Xun even more anxious. The dock was so huge that even if it was set on fire, it would not be burned out in a short time. As long as he put out the fire in time, there might still be hope of saving them.

Just when Lu Xun was preparing to counterattack, Zhou Tai rushed back with his remaining troops.

At the beginning, Zhou Tai was preparing to rush to Guangxin City according to the route set by Zhang Liao.

But halfway through the walk, Zhou Tai realized something was wrong.

All his roads were blocked, and only the road leading to Guangxin City was relatively unobstructed. This meant that Zhang Liao deliberately asked him to go to Guangxin City. Zhang Liao had only one goal, and that was Duanxi City.

After figuring it out, Zhou Tai quickly took everyone and rushed to Duanxi City. However, there were too many people and they failed to catch up no matter how hard they tried. They just met up with Lu Xun outside the city.

Lu Xun counted the troops and found that the two armies together had as many as 13,000 people. Zhou Yu immediately ordered his men to attack the city.

As the Wu army approached Duanxi City, a wave of arrows fell from the sky. However, Tiefutu was not good at riding and shooting, so his archery skills were still a bit poor.

After a wave of arrow rain, Wujun lost only a few dozen people, which had no killing effect at all.

Even so, Zhang Liao still ordered Tiefutu to shoot arrows continuously. Even if his archery skills were not good, the arrows could not remain in his hand even after the person died.

With only a few hundred people, there was no way to defend the entire city wall. Lu Xun specifically found a section of the wall with weaker defense and began to climb the city.

These Wu troops climbed up the city wall without much hindrance.

From the moment the weapons came into close combat, the true power of the Iron Pagoda was released.

Every Wu soldier who came up was hacked to death, and no one could survive more than three breaths on the city wall.

Lu Xun saw that many people had climbed up the city wall, but no one of them could stay on the wall. Lu Xun immediately asked Zhou Tai and the other two to lead the troops to the wall.

However, just as the three were preparing to leave.

The gate of Duanxi City was opened directly.

Zhang Liao led two hundred Iron Pagodas and charged out directly.

There is an open space outside the city, which is enough for Iron Pagoda to perform.

The Iron Pagoda charged into the Wu army and disrupted their offensive. They now didn't know whether to defend against Zhang Liao or continue to attack the city wall.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xun immediately ordered some soldiers to stop Zhang Liao, and then ordered Zhou Tai and two other men to stop Zhang Liao.

However, after hearing Lu Xun's order, the three of them all stood still without moving.

"What are you doing? Go and stop Zhang Liao."

Seeing that Zhou Tai and the other two didn't even move, Lu Xun suddenly became a little angry. Disobeying orders in front of the army is a crime subject to military law.

This is also a blow to his position as commander.

When the three heard this, they looked at Lu Xun and opened their mouths, but no one said anything, just remained motionless.

What kind of person is Zhang Liao? He often uses hundreds or thousands of people, but not as many as tens of thousands of people as them.

They don't want to seek death by letting the three of them face a beast like Zhang Liao. Whoever is willing to take on such a suicidal mission can do it. They are not tigers.

The reason these three people acted like this was that they were completely scared by Zhang Liao. If they were asked to lead troops to fight against Zhang Liao, they might have some courage, but if the three of them were asked to fight Zhang Liao alone, they would not do anything.

When Lawrence Lu saw this scene, although he was a little angry, he also understood.

Zhang Liao was a famous general. He was the only famous general among all people. Logically speaking, there was no one else who could stop Zhang Liao except himself. However, he did not dare to face Zhang Liao alone.

It was also for this reason that Zhang Liao kept moving back and forth on the front battlefield, tearing apart the defense line set up by Lu Xun on the front line, but no general was able to stand up and stop Zhang Liao.

An hour later, Zhang Liao led all the Iron Pagodas back to the city.

It’s not that Zhang Liao wants to retreat, but the time for a fight to the death has come. Once the fight to the death is over, the combat capability of the Iron Pagoda will definitely drop a lot. By then, with only two hundred against more than ten thousand people, Zhang Liao cannot guarantee how many of them can come back alive.

When Zhang Liao returned to the city, Lu Xun suddenly looked at Zhou Tai and the other two behind him.

"You three just wait for your master's punishment!"

"General, you are also afraid to go up, so why are you blaming us?"

Zhou Tai's personality was a bit straightforward to begin with, and when he heard what Lu Xun said, he immediately grumbled with some dissatisfaction. Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin quickly pulled Zhou Tai twice, signaling him to shut up.

But Lu Xun still heard this.

Lu Xun pointed at Zhou Tai and didn't say anything for a long time. After all, what Zhou Tai said was right.

"Forget it, let's prepare to continue the siege. Zhang Liao only has a few hundred men, and he definitely won't be able to hold out for long."

Lu Xun didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, so he could only change the subject immediately.

Zhang Liao arranged all the remaining Iron Pagodas on the city walls, but even so, there were still many defensive loopholes. After all, the number of people was too small. As more and more Wu troops rushed up, Zhang Liao's desperate fight completely lost its effect at this time.

The battle became extremely difficult.

Zhang Liao knew that if they continued like this, not only would they not be able to defend the city, but not many people would be able to leave Duanxi City safely.

"Everyone, get off the wall and mount your horses."

As soon as the voice came out, Tiefutu immediately abandoned the city wall and rushed to the foot of the city, mounting his mount.

Soon, the Wu army occupied the city wall and opened the city gate.

Countless Wu troops rushed in from outside.

When they saw the Iron Pagoda ready to go, all the Wu troops stopped.

Not only those generals, but even the entire Wu army was overwhelmed by the Iron Pagoda. (End of this chapter)
