Lu Bu was almost dizzy. His eight brothers, living and dead, were right in front of him, and their heads were separated. The heads were actually used as playthings and hung on the top of the city. Lu Bu's eyes turned red with anger.
"General, don't fall for their tricks. They are deliberately using the heads of our eight capable generals to make you lose your mind, General. There must be an ambush in this city. In my opinion, let's retreat for thirty miles and observe for a few days first. "Chen Gong comforted him with kind words.
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "How can you let me... how can I swallow this breath? The eight of them... have followed me since Luoyang, and we have been together through life and death! Now I can't protect you. Good for them, seeing them being slaughtered, if I don’t take revenge, am I still worthy of being their big brother?”
Chen Gong grabbed Lu Bu's arm: "General, please think twice. These seven people are the most elite troops under Sima Yi. They are the Seven Tigers of the Yang Clan. Each of them is invincible. When charging into battle, each one of them will He is an existence like the God of War. I heard that they also have a father named Yang Ye. This man is proficient in the art of war and can win from thousands of miles away. These Seven Tigers of the Yang Clan must not be underestimated!"
"There are only seven and a half young men, what can be so scary." Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, "I have the White Ghost Horse and Fang Tian Hua Ji, who in the world dares to stop me?!"
"General!" Chen Gong cried out in agony, "I beg your pardon, but the courage of a single man is absolutely outstanding when fighting alone, but in war, if the opponent has thousands of troops, everyone will spit Spit, I am afraid that no matter how powerful the person is, he will be drowned. Even if the overlord is alive, he will not be able to resist such an army. Does the general still remember how brave the overlord of Western Chu was?"
"Of course I know. I remember when the Overlord raised the cauldron and became famous all over the world!" Lu Bu said. The Overlord of Western Chu has always been Lu Bu's aspiration.
Chen Gong said: "That's right. The Overlord of Western Chu is such a hero. Wasn't he forced to death by Liu Bang's army at the mouth of Wujiang River? General... you have to think twice. Even if you don't have the eight strong generals, you still have so many brothers. There are also Li Bolong, your son-in-law, and Qiling, and many people who care about you. If the general has some shortcomings, wouldn't it make those descendants suffer for the rest of their lives?"
Chen Gong spoke earnestly, just to save Lu Bu's anger, but now Lu Bu couldn't listen to anyone's advice. He took a deep breath and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to waste any words!"
"I... Well, that's okay." Chen Gong shook his head and said helplessly.
Lu Bu took a step forward and said, "Where is the trapped camp?"
"Here!" Eight hundred people came out, fully armed. This is Lu Bu's only infantry now. Lu Bu frowned and said, "You... why are you all strangers?"
"General, when General Gao Shun was selecting the camp, there were two battalions in total, one was the first battalion and the other was the second battalion, but the first battalion..." The soldier couldn't go on.
Lu Bu shouted: "Where is the first battalion?"
"General, have you forgotten that when General Gao Shun attacked privately, he sacrificed his life together with the elites trapped in the camp? The 800 people trapped in the camp fought to the end, and no one surrendered." Chen Gong said.
"It's these seven grandsons, these seven grandsons!" Lu Bu gritted his teeth, his eyes almost bursting with flames, "Get ready to attack the city. I want to capture these seven people alive, peel off their skins, eat their flesh, and use Their heads were placed on their necks to pay homage to my dead brother!"
"Yes!" The crowd was excited for a while, and the morale of the soldiers was also high.
Chen Gong knew Lu Bu's temper and said that if Lu Bu made up his mind, no one could change it, just like when Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan.
In fact, for Chen Gong, Ding Yuan cannot be killed because Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo were confronting each other at that time. Such a delicate balance can allow the Han Dynasty to continue, because once they encounter greater disasters and enemies, they will still unite. .
But if one of them dies and the other becomes the dominant one, things will immediately take place to coerce the emperor to order the princes. If Dong Zhuo had died at that time, Ding Yuan would have done the same.
The best option is to keep both people alive, so that they can keep each other in check.
Lu Bu's soldiers and horses rushed towards the city like a tide. Yang Erlang sneered from the top of the city: "Brother, it is exactly what the prime minister expected. If Li Bolong comes to attack the city, we will experience a hard battle, but if Lu Bu Come and attack the city, then we can harvest the wheat.”
"What are you waiting for? Open the city gate!" Yang Dalang said.
"Open the city gate and prepare to attack!" With an order, the closed city gate opened.
Lu Bu was confused: "Why did these people open the city gate? Are they crazy?!"
Chen Gong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed: "No, general, retreat quickly, there is an ambush!"
However, it was too late for Chen Gong to shout at this time, because the enemy's army was so powerful that it was already charging towards Lu Bu. During the charge, he saw a large number of people killing on the city wall, in the woods on both sides, and near the river. The people and horses, a shower of arrows blew over like a storm.
Wow!
The blackness all over the sky makes people stunned and speechless.
However, in the blink of an eye, the enemy's arrow rain was already in front of them. Lu Bu's men and horses were killed by this rain of arrows before they even reached the city gate!
Boom boom boom!
The catapults that were ambushing further away suddenly lost their strength. A large number of catapults were loaded with kerosene. After being ignited, they fell from the sky like fireballs and hit the crowd. Instantly, the large number of people and horses were engulfed in flames.
For a time, the morale of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses was completely depleted, and they were all screaming in agony. It was extremely miserable.
"General!" Chen Gong rushed over.
Whoosh!
Three sharp arrows shot over, two hit his legs, and the other sharp arrow penetrated directly through his chest!
"Sir!" Lu Bu exclaimed and grabbed Chen Gong.
Chen Gong gritted his teeth and said: "General, hurry up... retreat to Hulao Pass. The next step is to send troops to Hulao Pass. At that time, there will be strong troops from Xuchang in front of them. After the Yang Clan Seven Tigers have circled Hulao Pass, General Li will meet … The entire army was wiped out!”
After that, Chen Gong breathed his last and died!
"Gongtai!" Lu Bu whimpered and hugged Chen Gong tightly. The two of them had been on official business for more than five years. Although they often quarreled, Chen Gong was loyal to him, as the sky can see!
Lu Bu shed tears. He first lost the Eighth Warriors, and then Chen Gong. He was filled with grief and anger for a moment, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"General!" Several minions ran over and put up large shields to protect Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked tired, and his eyebrows were a few white at this moment: "Retreat... retreat to Hulao Pass!"
