Chapter 311 Liu Wu returns to Xuchang!!
Chapter 311: Liu Wu returns to Xuchang!!
Truly well-trained soldiers are completely different from temporarily organized young men.

The physical fitness of soldiers is secondary, what is important is the weapons and armor.

Mainly armor.

During the Han Dynasty, scholars and common people were allowed to carry swords, but privately possessing armor was a serious crime.

Zhou Yafu, the famous general who quelled the Rebellion of the Seven States, was imprisoned by Emperor Jing of Han for treason because he secretly kept 500 sets of armor and shields.

In an army, there is a world of difference between a soldier wearing armor and one without.

Only those who wear armor and carry shields are the real army!

At this time, outside the imperial city, a large black armored army was marching towards them. Even though they were looking down from the top of the city wall, they still felt a sense of oppression.

Although there are more than 3,000 loyal and brave soldiers in the imperial city, only the 300 elite soldiers under Zhao Yun are actually wearing armor...

"We must not let them rush into the city, otherwise once a street fighting breaks out..." Zhao Yun looked solemn.

Once the armored and sturdy Cao army came close for close combat, it would be extremely difficult for the loyal and brave young men without armor protection to resist them.

Faced with the crisis, the battle-hardened Zhao Yun quickly came up with a plan. He formed a team with two elite armored soldiers and eight loyal and brave young men. During the attack and defense on the city wall, the elite armored soldiers fought head-on while the others assisted them.

This is no longer a solution...

When they were less than two hundred steps away from the imperial city, Cao Cao's sedan chair and the troops he brought with him stopped.

Cao Mengde saw the man on the top of the city wall, wearing a feather fan and a green scarf, looking at him from a distance.

Zhuge Kongming!!
In the past, the person Cao Cao hated the most was Liu Bei, Liu Xuande.

But now Liu Bei can only rank third!
The person he hates the most now is King Liu Wu of Chu. There is no need to explain the reason.

The second is Zhuge Kongming!
This evil man, who had served as an official in the same court as him in the past two years, was an equal to him. He waved that broken fan all day long, which was annoying to watch.

He even took the position of Prime Minister in a pretentious manner, and flaunted himself day by day...

Cao Mengde had long wanted to skin him alive...

Not to mention the old grudges. The east wind that this demon invited at the Battle of Red Cliff a few years ago completely changed Cao Mengde's fortune. He went from being smooth sailing and invincible to being frustrated everywhere.

"This imperial city was built by me, but now it has been occupied by a demon like you..." Cao Mengde spoke as he stood on the stick.

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "What are you talking about, King Wei? The Imperial City is where the emperor lives. You and I are just serving him."

"Zhuge Kongming!" Cao Cao stood up from the carriage and said, "Today, I will purge the emperor's entourage!"

Cao Mengde's powerful voice echoed inside and outside Caohuang City.

He is serious about this.

Zhuge Kongming on the top of the city narrowed his eyes slightly. Even if he was extremely intelligent, in the face of absolute power, he could not do anything.

At this point, it is no use to show off your eloquence.

Now it’s up to Zhao Yun.

however,
next moment,
"King Wei, do you want to purge the emperor's entourage or the emperor?!"

A loud voice sounded behind Zhuge Liang...

Kong Ming turned his head.

At some point, Emperor Liu Xie appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty..." Cao Mengde, who was standing in the imperial city, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, you have been deceived by the treacherous ministers."

"Zhuge Village Man is a complete monster. He licks the position of Prime Minister. He is called the Prime Minister of Han, but he is actually a traitor to Han!"

"Shut up!" Liu Xie suddenly jumped up, and Kong Ming beside him even saw the veins throbbing on his forehead: "Everyone in the world knows that you, Cao Mengde, are the biggest traitor in the world!!"

"My fellow soldiers under the city, I know that you eat the food and take the salary of the King of Wei. You are all soldiers loyal to the King of Wei..."

"But aren't you also citizens of the Han Dynasty?!"

"If you are willing to chop off my head, then come on..." At the end of his words, Liu Xie had already drawn his sword from his waist: "I'm right here!"

Cao Mengde sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw that many soldiers looked confused...

Not good. "The emperor is deceived by treacherous ministers, how foolish!" Cao Mengde sighed and said, "Well, today I will only execute Kong Ming and Jian Yong, and will not pursue the others!"

"Tiger Lord!"

"Here!" Xu Chu took two steps forward.

Cao Mengde couldn't wait any longer: "There aren't many armored soldiers in the city, break into the city!"

Xu Chu: "Yes!"

Then the army formation began to change, and siege equipment was pushed up.
The ladders were set up, and under Xu Chu's command, the soldiers began to move up one after another.

The crashed car was also pushed in.

boom! ~
boom! ~
Every time it felt like the top of the city was shaking.

The two sides began to tear and seesaw.

After about half an hour, a layer of Cao's soldiers who had fallen down from the city wall had formed.

Xu Chu, who was supervising the battle, could no longer bear it, so he dismounted from his horse and put on his helmet: "Follow me!"

He wants to climb first!

Holding the Fire Cloud Sword in one hand and the ladder in the other, he began to climb up. When Cao's army saw that Tiger Marquis had made it to the top, their morale was boosted.

Just when Xu Chu was about to climb to the top of the city wall, a volley of swords, spears, sticks and clubs came towards him.

"Hey!~"

Xu Chu swung his saber with one hand and killed three or four people in a row, defeating the city defenses. He had one foot already stepped forward when he saw a bright silver spear stabbing at him at lightning speed.

Xu Chu dodged quickly.

But before he could react, the gun changed its momentum again and hit him with all its force!
“If you have the guts, let’s fight in single combat. What’s the big deal about a sneak attack…” Xu Chu wanted to fight again, but his body had already lost balance and he fell straight down.

Plop! ~
There was a muffled sound,
Fortunately, he fell on the corpse, otherwise, even if Xu Zhongkang was thick-skinned and tough, he would have lost half his life.

Getting up from the ground, Xu Chu didn't even pick up the Fire Cloud Sword, and ran back in a panic: "My lord, shoot!"

"Most of them are not wearing armor. After three or five volleys, I guarantee they will suffer heavy casualties!"

Cao Mengde shook his head: "No, the emperor is also on the top of the city. If he dies in my hands, Liu Wu will have enough reasons to mobilize all the troops in the world to attack me."

"I'll go get those dozen catapults!" Xu Chu turned around and was about to leave, thinking of using catapults to intimidate the group of minions in the imperial city.

"Don't use the catapults!" Cao Cao said. He really had no way to deal with Xu Chu, who was so brainless: "Why don't you send in a few more ramming machines? If you can break through the city gate, you can take the imperial city."

"Oh! This won't work, and that won't work. I'm such a coward..." Xu Chu was furious and a little irritable.

Cao Mengde glared at him and said, "Stop making noise, go and fix the collision!"

"Got it." Xu Chu was very unhappy, but he had no choice but to obey the order.

However, at this moment, a rider came galloping over: "King of Wei!"

"King Wei! Something terrible is happening?!"

Cao Mengde turned around and saw Le Jin riding his horse towards him: "Are the Huns causing trouble outside the city?"

Le Jin's face was uncertain, he reined in his horse and said, "It's not the Huns, it's the King of Chu!"

King of Chu?

"Liu Wu?" Cao Mengde raised his eyebrows: "What happened to Liu Wu?"

Le Jin swallowed his saliva. Such a great general sounded a little panicked at this moment: "The King of Chu is coming! He is heading for Xuchang!"

"Zhang He and Yu Jin have already deployed their forces outside the city. I beg the King of Wei to quickly mobilize the Xiongnu cavalry to join the battle!!"

For a moment,

Cao Mengde's face turned pale...
