Chapter 052: Liu Xuande admits his mistake! His longing for his son grows stronger!

"Cao Mengde is indeed injured. His upper arm is bandaged. There is a smell of medicine in the tent."

"As soon as I entered Cao's central army tent, Cao Mengde pointed out my intentions..." In the hall of Xiling County, Gao Shun reported to Liu Wu everything he had experienced in Cao's camp.

Lu Xun's face turned pale. Cao Mengde was worthy of the name of a treacherous hero. When he presented this strategy to his lord, he acted as if he was here and knew everything. This way of guessing people's minds was really creepy.

At this moment, Lu Xun no longer had any of the complacency he had when he offered this strategy.

Liu Wu felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, the arrow I shot last night didn't hit his vital point."

Gao Shun hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "When I left Cao's camp, Cao asked me to tell my lord a message. He said..."

Liu Wu: "What did he say?"

Gao Shun: "He said, if the lord does not surrender, Xiling will be destroyed within three days.

"Neither Sun Quan nor Liu Bei has the courage and generosity to use the master, nor can they satisfy the master. The master can only be the lackey of Cao thief..."

Before Gao Shun could finish his words, Lu Xun and Wei Yan's faces turned grim.

"Cao Mengde also said..." Gao Shun's face was full of hesitation.

Liu Wu looked calm: "What else did he say?"

Gao Shun gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Mengde also said that the lord is not of his bloodline, so it is impossible for him to become his heir. But the lord dances the Fang Tian Hua Ji well. After you surrender to him, he is willing to accept... accept the lord as his adopted son."

boom! ~
"Asshole!" Wei Yan was furious. He kicked the table in front of him away, his face red. "Cao Mengde insulted Zilie too much! I regret that I was not on the city wall when he visited the city last night, otherwise I would have chopped off the old villain's head for Zilie!"

Liu Wu stood up slowly, his eyes cold: "The old thief is rampant, I want to see if he has the ability to break through Xiling in three days!"

……

"kill!"

Outside Xiling City, a fierce offensive and defensive battle broke out again.

Rockets, logs, pounding stones...

These weapons that caused extremely tragic deaths had long since become ineffective against Cao's army, and they had almost been used up.
"Work harder, work harder!"

"The Xiling bandit army can no longer be trusted!"

"The Prime Minister has ordered that Xiling be conquered in three days!!"

Amid the fanatical shouts, more and more Cao's troops pushed off the corpses of their comrades on the ladders and climbed up to Xiling City regardless of everything.

The soldiers guarding the four gates of Xiling collapsed again.

"Simon, Simon can't hold on any longer!"

"There are too many Cao troops at the East Gate!"

"East Gate..."

"And the North Gate..."

Xiling was in danger, but the figure holding the spear still rushed to the city wall.

hum! ~
The sound of the painted halberd breaking through the air continued, and more and more Cao's soldiers fell under the halberd.

"He's here again, the Xiling Guardian is here again!"

"Get away from him, get away from him!"

"He, he, he's chasing us!"

Liu Wu swung the painted halberd in his hand and smashed it down. Amid screams, blood and brains splattered, and broken arms and limbs flew around.

The warm blood dyed the halberd in his hand red and soaked through the armor on his body.

Liu Wu kept walking and moving his halberd non-stop.

He started killing from the north gate. All the Cao soldiers who dared to stand on the city wall were killed by his halberd. The iron-blooded and tragic aura spread throughout the entire north gate with Liu Wu's footsteps.

In the bloody jungle, Liu Wu moved back and forth, and in a flash he had already killed his way through the north gate tower, and rushed to the west gate stepping on the corpses of Cao's army...

Large numbers of corpses began to fall from the west gate, south gate, and east gate towers of Xiling.

The heads, limbs and even half of the bodies of Cao's soldiers fell from the city wall like rain, and the entire Xiling city wall seemed to be shrouded in blood!
The Cao army soldiers who were originally frantically climbing up the Xiling City seemed to have discovered that there was a terrifying god or demon on the city.

They retreated down the ladder at a faster speed than when they came, and no matter how urgent the drums of war urged them to fight, it was useless...

kill! ! !

Liu Wu didn't know how long he had been killing. He went from north to west, from west to south, and from south to east!

He didn't know how many times he had killed his way through the four gates.

The killing made his eyes turn red.
His mouth and nose were covered with blood.
The whole thing was killing so much that his ears were filled with roars!

"Zi Lie! Zi Lie! The Cao army has been defeated, defeated!" Liu Wu wanted to kill more, but his arm was held tightly by someone. In the past, he could send people flying with a slight wave of his arm, but at this moment he had no strength left.

Liu Wu tried his best to open his eyes wide and saw that the person holding him was also a bloody man... it was Wei Yan.

Wei Yan looked at the exhausted Liu Wu, his eyes full of pity: "Zi Lie, take a break."

Liu Wu leaned against the city wall for a long time, his chest still rising and falling violently...

Although Cao's army was repelled again, it was no longer as easy for Liu Wu to kill through all four gates as last time. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to repel Cao's attack.

The situation in Xiling City is becoming increasingly difficult...

... "Asshole! Trash!"

In the Cao army camp, Prime Minister Cao was furious: "We have already charged forward several times, why are the soldiers retreating again?"

Cao Mengde was watching the battle in the central army today, he saw it very clearly!
The densely packed Cao army climbed up the ladders, but in the end many soldiers climbed halfway and then climbed down in a panic. It was ridiculous!
Xiahou Dun said helplessly: "Liu Zilie is too brave. The number of soldiers who attacked the four gates this time was several times more than before, but he still led the defenders to..."

"I don't want to hear this!" Prime Minister Cao was already impatient: "How long can the small Xiling City hold off my tens of thousands of elite troops? I said that we would conquer Xiling in three days. If my army's flags cannot be planted on the top of Xiling City in three days..."

"My military law is not for show."

Xiahou Dun felt a chill in his heart: "Yes!"

I asked Gao Shun to pass on the message. Is this Liu Zilie's reply to me? Good Liu Zilie, I want to see whether your neck is harder or my knife is faster.

Thinking about today's battle situation in Xiling, Cao Cao became more and more irritated, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

Prime Minister Cao wanted to hear some good news to change his mood: "How is the battle going over there with Liu Bei in Jiangling? Is there any report about Liu Bei's battle..."

……

……

Jiangling City!
Ding Ding! ! ~
The clear sound of the gong echoed throughout the area.

"Brother! Cao's army has sounded the retreat!" Zhang Yide's hoarse voice rang out from the top of Jiangling City.

Advance when you hear the drum, retreat when you hear the gong.

Under Jiangling City, Cao's army retreated slowly like a tide...

The situation here is even worse than that in Xiling.

The strong smell of blood filled the area within several miles of Jiangling City.

At the beginning, Le Jin had to be the first to climb the city wall, so that Cao's army could reach the top of the city wall. But later on, it was no longer possible. Cao's army could reach the top of the city wall with or without Le Jin going first.

Moreover, as time went by, the number of people who climbed the city walls each day increased, and the area they occupied on the city walls each time became larger and larger.

The most dangerous time was when General Huang Zhong could not stand the long-lasting battle and was persuaded by Liu Bei to rest. As a result, the entire city wall fell half an hour later...

If it weren't for Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, these four powerful generals, the city of Jiangling would have been captured long ago.

"Brother, the Cao army has sounded the retreat." Zhang Yide held on to the wall and walked to the foot of the wall with trembling legs.

Liu Bei has been hiding here. With Cao's army digging stones, no place is safe. Only the base of the wall is the safest.

"Finally, we have held out for another day." Liu Bei's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he sighed, "Yide, how many soldiers have died today?"

Zhang Yide couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "I don't know that either, how can I know?"

"But Cao's army has come up thirteen times today, and our casualties must be at least a thousand or eight hundred..."

As soon as he said this, Liu Bei burst into tears.

The casualties in the war have already exceeded 10,000!!
Liu Xuande really regretted it at this time.

He regretted not listening to Mr. Kong Ming's advice, which resulted in the death of tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiangling City, and all of them were his elite troops!
Liu Bei cried loudly: "This is really an empty city plan..."

But even if he repented now, it was too late. It had come to this point and he had to hold on until Cao's army retreated.

If they stopped the loss in time and retreated to the south bank of the river, not only would they fail to defend Jiangling City, but they would also lose so many elite troops. However, Xuande had great ambitions to conquer the world, so he lost the city and his troops.

Zhang Fei was just standing by and watching Liu Bei cry. He had been fighting on the city wall for so long and was extremely tired.

Liu Xuande cried for a long time before he stopped. He said sadly: "Yide, I cried today because the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. I couldn't bear it and felt guilty and heartbroken! I cried again because tomorrow is Adou's birthday. As a father, I can't be with my son. I feel uneasy."

"I, Liu Xuande, feel bad for my soldiers and my son. I am really heartbroken..."

Zhang Yide shook his head helplessly: "Alas, that useless little rubbish Adou is doing well in the public security, but his morale has been severely dampened, and the army's morale has long been unstable. Big brother, come with me to the consolation army."

Liu Bei immediately stood up and went to the top of the city.

This is Liu Xuande’s greatest role, to stabilize the morale of the army!
As a super idol of this era, as long as Liu Xuande stays in Jiangling City for one day, the morale of the Jiangling army will not be shaken too much.

"Third brother, Ah Dou is your nephew after all, so don't talk about him like that in the future."

"Brother, to be honest, this useless little nephew is far worse than my older nephew. When my older nephew was this old, he would go to the street to sell straw sandals in the morning. Only Adou is so delicate, while my nephew is..."

……

……

Half an hour later, when Liu Bei finished comforting the soldiers guarding the city walls on all four sides, it was already completely dark.

Return to your residence,

Light an oil lamp.
Liu Bei flicked the wire slightly, and the room suddenly became much brighter.

With a sigh, Liu Xuande began to grind ink:
【Mr. Kong Ming, Xuande knows he is wrong! 】

[I regret not listening to you, sir. Even if I bow my head and stamp my chest, I still cannot relieve the grief in my heart. Liu Xuande was really wrong! ]

[Cao's army is now besieging the city, and more than 10,000 soldiers have been killed in the city...]

[But now it is difficult to back down. If we don’t continue to hold on, the soldiers will waste their lives in vain…]

[Also, it is Ah Dou's birthday tomorrow. He is staying in Jiangling City. Although he is only separated from the Public Security Bureau by a general, it is difficult for him to return...]

[Please go there on my behalf and act as the master of ceremonies, so that my Ah Dou will not be so happy in vain…]

[I am in Jiangling, and my longing for you is growing stronger. I hope you will forgive me.]
