Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle
Chapter 253: Singlehandedly challenge Lu Bu? Is it possible?
Lu Bu's voice was loud and full of energy, and his words were so righteous that people couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
There was not much expression on Liu Bei's face. During the moment of hesitation just now, he had already figured out the key.
He sneered, his words full of sarcasm.
"You are so good, Lü Fengxian. You keep saying that you are here to pay homage to the emperor. From ancient times to now, have you ever seen anyone come to pay homage to the emperor with troops breaking through the pass? Have you ever seen anyone come to pay homage to the emperor with soldiers in full armor?"
"Everyone says that Dong Zhuo is cruel and lawless. But your behavior today, Lü Fengxian, is even more outrageous than Dong Zhuo's before."
Liu Bei compared himself to Dong Zhuo, which made Lu Bu very angry. In his mind, Dong Zhuo was a treacherous minister who brought disaster to the country and the people, but he was different. He wanted to save the emperor, assist the emperor, and achieve his own eternal fame.
"Liu Xuande, how could you be so rude?"
"Disrespectful, you are the one who is really disrespectful. A mere Wenhou dares to lead troops in front of the emperor. What else can this be but disrespectful?"
"You..." Liu Bei's words left Lu Bu speechless. He did not expect that Liu Xuande, who seemed gentle and dull, had such a sharp eloquence.
Since he couldn't pretend anymore, Lu Bu simply stopped. He came from a low-class family and had worked his way up to his current position step by step, not by being gentle, respectful, frugal and modest, but by force.
It was his invincible military force that allowed him to rise step by step from the bottom of society to where he is today.
He knew that in this era of class stratification, if he wanted to succeed, he had to be more ruthless, more vicious, and more merciless than others. Only in this way would he have a chance of survival.
"Liu Xuande, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. When I conquer Luoyang, I will chop off your head and hang it on the gate of this city. I want to let the world see what it means to go against me, Lü Bu."
Facing Lu Bu's threat, Liu Bei showed no fear at all, but instead looked more calm and determined.
"Even if you are willing to forgive me, I will not forgive you. I want to avenge the soldiers who died in the pass and use your blood to pay tribute to those heroic spirits. I want to use your head to let all those who have evil intentions know that the great Han people will not be offended."
Liu Bei spoke with such passion that it seemed as if he would draw his sword and cut off Lu Bu's head in the next moment.
Lu Bu sneered, his smile full of disdain and contempt.
"Since Xuande also thinks so, then come out. I will wait for you at the foot of the city and we will fight it out. If you beat me, you can take my head. If I beat you, I will not be polite either."
Liu Bei was not a fool, so he would naturally not leave the city to fight against Lu Bu. Letting him fight against Lu Bu alone was like lighting a light in the toilet - seeking death.
"My duty now is to protect the safety of Luoyang City and His Majesty. How can I show off my bravery here?"
Lu Bu sneered, his eyes full of contempt. He had seen such scenes many times, and every time he spoke in a sanctimonious and majestic manner. But when they really fought with him, they became like Liu Bei now, shrinking turtles.
He was unwilling to engage in verbal argument with Liu Bei any further, so he waved his arms coldly and uttered two words clearly.
"Siege the city."
At Lu Bu's command, the soldiers behind him attacked Luoyang City like a tide.
"Shoot." Liu Bei's eyes showed a trace of solemnity. At this time, he had already realized that the army led by Lu Bu had more than 10,000 people. The shouts of killing that reached the sky could even overturn the majestic Luoyang City.
Countless arrows shot out from the city walls, like a rootless rain in the autumn. The raindrops fell on the soldiers' bodies, revealing patches of bright red blood.
There was a cold light in Lu Bu's eyes, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand tightened a little.
Ever since he knew that the emperor was in Luoyang City, he was determined to capture Luoyang City. In his opinion, as long as he occupied Luoyang and served the emperor, he would be able to stand out in this era.
He had several thousand soldiers given by Yuan Shao, plus his original troops, which was enough for him to develop slowly in Luoyang City.
He believed that as long as he occupied Luoyang City, no one would dare to challenge him, otherwise the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand would be like a flash of lightning, cutting through the sky and directly killing people.
The siege lasted for two hours and finally ended with Lu Bu's temporary retreat.
The city of Luoyang was quite high, and Liu Bei took advantage of the terrain to kill nearly two thousand soldiers, but at the same time, nearly a thousand of his own soldiers were killed or wounded under Lu Bu's arrow attack.
This ratio is very high, even a little unbelievable.
This made the already small number of Luoyang defenders even more stretched.
Lu Bu led the soldiers, and at first glance he was an experienced veteran with very strong attack power.
Looking at the morale of Lu Bu's soldiers outside the city, Liu Bei's eyes were full of worry.
Seven days. Judging from the current itinerary, it would take at least seven days to go back and forth from Pei State to Luoyang. Liu Yu would be able to lead his troops back to Luoyang City, so he had to hold on for seven days no matter what.
Lu Bu's attack resumed, and became more and more fierce.
Liu Bei's soldiers were not afraid at all and used bows and arrows to attack the siege troops.
Lü Bu, riding on his Red Hare, watched as his successive attacks were repelled by Liu Bei. He could not help but sigh in his heart, "I thought Liu Xuande was just an official who governed the people, but I didn't expect that he was also an expert in commanding the army. He was able to use these soldiers to resist several attacks by my elite troops. He is indeed a talented general."
Thinking of this, Lu Bu had to admit that Uncle Liu had a unique vision. Although the generals he recruited were quite different from himself, they were also among the best in this era.
"General Lu, we need to capture Luoyang quickly and decisively, and we must not linger on,"
Gao Shun looked at the Luoyang City which had been under siege for a long time, feeling a little worried, and hurriedly reminded.
"Don't worry, Bo Ning. You are worried about Uncle Liu. He is far away in Pei State. Even if he gets the news and rushes back, it will take seven or eight days. There is no possibility at all. Although this city is strong, there are not many soldiers. We will definitely be able to break it in less than half a day."
"Uncle Liu is very wise and his actions are often beyond people's expectations. The general must be on guard."
"Bo Ning doesn't need to be so cautious. Even if he leads his troops back to Luoyang, your Xianzhen Camp will be enough to win the battle."
The Xianzhen Camp under Gao Shun was the pinnacle of heavy cavalry of this era. Although they had only a few hundred people, they had powerful combat effectiveness. They fought in dozens of battles, big and small, and never suffered a single defeat. They were the undefeated legend among cavalry of this era.
Gao Shun knew the strength of the Xianzhen Camp, so he didn't say anything. But he felt something was wrong. Liu Huangshu was resourceful and had conquered three counties in ten days. Such a fierce record was achieved by him. Could the Xianzhen Camp under his command really defeat him?
