"Let's set up camp!" Lü Bu saw that he had no way to deal with Sun Cejun's camp, so he could only set up camp. His Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had already arrived at Wan Cheng. It was impossible for Sun Ce to attack Wan Cheng. Once Shucheng was breached, the Formation Breaker and Taishan Army would continue to pour in. At that time, Sun Ce would be finished. Therefore, Sun Ce could only choose to withdraw his army.
Once Sun Ce withdrew his army, it would give the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry an opportunity. The army's retreat was not just one or two people, but tens of thousands of people. This was a big project. If things went wrong, the retreat would turn into a rout. Not to mention, there was a pack of wolves staring at them from the side.
Lu Bu will not let them go, he will not! His wolf pack would definitely tear apart the retreating Sun Cejun's army and swallow them all.
Wancheng city's gate has been breached and all the passages leading to the gate have been blocked. Now, most of the troops cannot enter the city, let alone the warhorses. Therefore, Lu Bu's army can only choose to camp at the edge of Wancheng city and form a defensive perimeter.
Lü Bu had just set up his camp, when Wan Cheng sent someone to contact Lü Bu. The person who came was Liu Neng from the Liu family. He had always heard people say that Lü Bu was majestic and tall. Even his father said that Lü Bu was definitely a great man. Now that he saw it, Liu Neng felt that the man in front of him was unfathomable.
His every move was leading Liu Neng. He was indeed worthy of being the lord. He was also worthy of being Wen Hou, War God Lu.
"Wancheng city now has 1722 soldiers! Among them, 352 were injured! There are 3,890 captives! " Liu Neng reported to Lü Bu. Lü Bu was the real master of the Lvbu's Army. Liu Mang was just a little lord. Therefore, when Lü Bu arrived, Lü Bu would naturally take the lead.
More than 1700 people? Excluding those who were severely injured, there were only about 1,400 people. Out of these 1,400 people, 3,800 of them were captives? Lü Bu was puzzled. In the end, how did they capture three times the number of enemies?
Liu Neng did not say that although the injuries of the 300 people were a little bit serious, it did not affect their fighting strength. Because Sun Ce's fire basically burned those seriously injured soldiers to death. They could not escape from the fire. Moreover, when the people of Wan Cheng went to the city wall to help the Lvbu's Army to extinguish the fire, only a small part of the city wall was not burned. Therefore, those seriously injured soldiers gave their hope of survival to their fellow soldiers.
"Sun Cejun's fighting strength is so bad?" Lü Bu really did not understand. Could it be that Sun Ce's men were old, weak, sick, and disabled? One must know that the Lvbu's Army who defended the city wall were already exhausted. Ordinary soldiers could also kill the Lvbu's Army, but now they were captured. How weak are they?
"Out of the 3800 people, 2000 of them are Danyang soldiers!" Liu Neng's words made Lü Bu stunned. Danyang soldiers? He looked at Liu Neng. Are you sure that they are Danyang soldiers?
Lü Bu really knew how powerful Danyang soldiers were. Because in Xu Province, Lü Bu had asked for advice. His father-in-law Cao Bao was a third-rate general, but he relied on his Danyang soldiers to make a name for himself in Xu Province. Tao Qian also relied on his Danyang soldiers to become the Governor of Xu Province. Afterwards, the Danyang soldiers were incorporated into Xu Province by Lü Bu and Liu Bei. Lü Bu treated them as another powerful elite force in addition to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Formation Breaker. Sure enough, the Danyang soldiers did not disappoint Lü Bu. Under the leadership of Cao Cao and Hao Meng, the Danyang soldiers almost killed Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahou Dun. After Cao Cao died, the Danyang soldiers dispersed. Because of this, the Danyang soldiers and Lü Bu's other troops were able to take down Cao Cao's 150,000 troops.
Liu Bei used the Danyang soldiers to change their name to the White Nightmare Army. This White Nightmare Army was Liu Bei's treasure. Liu Bei was able to escape danger time and time again because of this White Nightmare Army. Even when Liu Bei was defeated in Xu Province, it was the White Nightmare Army that helped him break out of the encirclement. Therefore, this White Nightmare Army was the number one elite force under Liu Bei's command.
Now, Liu Neng actually told him that there were 2000 Danyang soldiers on the walls of Wan City. 2000 Danyang soldiers and 1800 ordinary soldiers actually surrendered? How could Lü Bu believe that they were captured by 1000 old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers?
With these troops, Sun Ce could directly take down Wan City. If he had to rely on Wan City to fight, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not be able to do anything to Sun Ce. If the Chu Division's Third Master was not in Liu Mang's City Guard, then Wan City would have already been taken down. Sun Ce did not need to send any more troops, just the 2000 Danyang soldiers on the walls would be enough to deal the final blow to the Lvbu's Army.
But the result was that these Danyang soldiers were originally rebellious. Sun Ce dared to sell them out, dared to abandon them, then don't blame these Danyang soldiers for not being righteous. They directly kneeled down and surrendered. This Laozi will not do it anymore. You can find whoever you want to find!
This made Sun Ce dumbfounded. If the Danyang soldiers did not go on strike, then Lü Bu would see Sun Cejun's flags all over Wan City. After the disaster, Liu Mang, Huang Zhong, and Xu Sheng's heads were hung on the walls of Wan City. His family members were trapped in the prison of Wan City and Lü Bu could only lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to wander around.
What Lü Bu did not know was that these Danyang soldiers on the walls were all Sun Cejun's Danyang soldiers. In other words, Liu Mang directly removed the Danyang soldiers from Sun Cejun's establishment during the battle of Wan City.
Lü Bu did not think about the Danyang soldiers because Liu Neng's next words made Lü Bu's face sink. "On Wan City, more than 9000 died. Among them, 5000 were ordinary soldiers." Liu Neng did not say that these were Liu family's private soldiers, but he believed that Lü Bu also knew. "The City Guard lost more than 2600 people. The Black Flag Army lost more than 1500 people!"
The City Guard lost more than 2600 people! This number made Lü Bu silent. The establishment of the City Guard was originally a chance for Lü Bu to train Liu Mang. He did not expect the City Guard to be strong. He only hoped that there would be a second line army to defend the city. Who knew that the losses would be so high. The City Guard had already suffered a large number of casualties at Mt. Bagong. The City Guard lost less than 10% of its members. Later, in order to compensate the City Guard, Lü Bu let Liu Mang expand the army to 3000 people.
Now, these 3000 people were crippled. Including the 200 City Guard's cavalry, there were only 200 City Guard left on the walls. What kind of loss was this? It was almost equivalent to the entire army being destroyed. They could fight so well!
The last time the City Guard lost their lives, Liu Mang was silent for a long time. What about this time? Lü Bu did not know what to say.
"Black Flag Army?!" Lü Bu looked at Liu Neng. He had never heard of this organization. Ordinary soldiers did not have a specific name. They were called by the surname of the general or where they came from. For example, the Qingzhou Army.
But now there was a Black Flag Army. Where did they come from?
"The Black Flag Army was originally the Zhou Family's army!" Liu Neng explained to Lü Bu that Liu Mang used a scheme to destroy the Black Flag Army. After that, he explained how Liu Mang persuaded the leader of the Black Flag Army, Xu Sheng.
"Heavy Armored Infantry? Zhou Family! " Lü Bu narrowed his eyes. He finally knew what happened in Wancheng City. 3000 heavy armored infantry. Even if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry wanted to destroy 3000 heavy armored infantry, it was impossible to do so without leaving 1000 corpses behind.
But Liu Mang was able to destroy the Black Flag Army with almost no casualties. Lü Bu could not help but sigh.
"Xu Sheng!" Another great general! Lü Bu suddenly discovered that with the existence of Liu Mang, the number of generals and strategists under his command increased. The generals were Huang Zhong, Su Fei, Gan Ning, Yang Hong, and now Xu Sheng. Lü Bu now had many fierce generals under his command.
"Also, also!" Liu Neng suddenly stopped talking. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid. He didn't know why. Liu Neng thought that he was talented and had seen the world, but in front of this middle-aged man in front of him, he had become petty.
"Speak!" Lü Bu frowned. He had a bad premonition in his heart. "Hesitating is not like a man!" Lü Bu had seen Liu Neng's father, Liu Kai. Liu family was persuaded by Liu Neng to surrender to the Lvbu's Army. He originally thought that Liu Neng was a straightforward person, but who knew that he was also so hesitant.
"My lord! In Wancheng City, His Royal Highness King Of Shu was seriously injured and unconscious. It is unknown whether he is dead or alive! " Liu Neng clenched his teeth. He did not want to be looked down upon by this new lord. He did not call him little lord. They only called him in private.
"What!" Lü Bu suddenly stood up. His pair of tiger eyes stared at Liu Neng. That kind of gaze made Liu Neng's whole body turn cold. It felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. Liu Neng wanted to escape, but he could not.
"Say that again!" Lu Bu repeated his words. He lowered his voice, but his anger was rising bit by bit. He could not help but release his aura as a peak refinement cultivator.
"In Wancheng City, His Royal Highness King Of Shu repelled the enemy's attack and killed the enemy's general Dong Xi. After that, he was seriously injured and unconscious. It is unknown whether he is dead or alive!" Liu Neng repeated.
"Hanyang, Hanyang!" Lü Bu was a little panicked. Lü Bu's mentality toward Liu Mang was very complicated. At the beginning, he was grateful to Liu Mang for saving his life. He regarded him as a brother. Later, he saw Liu Mang's childishness and his daughter's quarrel, which made him regard Liu Mang as a child. The more he looked at Lü Bu, the more he liked him. Lü Bu did not have a son. Under the instigation of Chen Gong, he directly betrothed his only daughter to Liu Mang. This time, Lü Bu really regarded Liu Mang as his own child.
After that, Liu Mang helped the Lvbu's Army escape calamity time and time again. This made Lü Bu even more satisfied with Liu Mang. Even if Liu Mang did something wrong, did not do well, and was even somewhat rebellious, Lü Bu endured it. He even worried about Liu Mang. Lü Bu only had one daughter. To put it bluntly, who did Lü Bu lay down such a large foundation for? Wasn't it to pave the way for Liu Mang's future? The world was in chaos. Great Han had already lost his deer. Now was the time when heroes were vying for the deer. Liu Mang had the title of King Of Shu. It could be said that he already had a great advantage. At the very least, it was very good in name. If things went wrong, Liu Mang would become the next Liu Xiu. From the Eastern Han, he would establish another Southern Han and Northern Han!
Now, Liu Neng told Lü Bu that Liu Mang's life and death were unknown. This made Lü Bu panic. This was like someone telling you that your child was seriously injured and unconscious. It was hard to tell whether he was alive or dead.
"There is more!" Lü Bu's voice was low. He was roaring. He closed his eyes. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his killing intent. However, he knew that Liu Neng still had more to say.
"There is more, there is more!" Liu Neng was scared by Lü Bu's stare. However, he endured his fear and continued to speak.
"General Su Fei. General Su Fei was killed by Sun Cejun's Jiang Qin. He was made into human swine and sent to Wan Cheng!"
"Human swine!" Lü Bu naturally knew what it was. Human swine was a type of torture that turned a person into a pig. It was to chop off the limbs, gouge out the eyes, inject copper into the ears to make them deaf. Poison was poured down the throat to cut off the tongue and destroy the vocal cords, making them unable to speak. Then, they were thrown into the toilet. Some even had to cut off the nose, shave the head, and shave the eyebrows (not only the eyebrows and hair, but also the eyelashes). Then, a medicine was applied to destroy the hair follicles. After the hair follicles fell off, they would no longer grow hair and would be pulled out one by one. The most famous one was when Emperor Taizu's Empress Lü turned Lady Qi into a human swine. He arranged for someone to "take care of" her before throwing her into the toilet and letting her die in pain. Her ears were cut off and her face was painted. This was a type of torture invented by Empress Lü to deal with Lady Qi.
It was because of this that Empress Lü's reputation was completely destroyed. Only a vicious person could do such a thing. Su Fei! Su Fei! Although Lü Bu did not work with this general much, he knew that this person was talented. His navy was absolutely first-class. Even Lü Bu admitted that he was not Su Fei's opponent in the navy. Moreover, this person was very modest. When he was under Lü Bu's command, he had always been a good person. However, this person was actually turned into a human swine by Sun Ce's Jiang Qin!
What was Sun Ce trying to do?! Slapping Lü Bu's face, beheading him was just a scar the size of a bowl. How vicious was it to turn him into a human swine?!
Liu Neng's next words directly ignited Lü Bu's anger. "Eldest Miss was injured. The Administration Office was destroyed. Sun Ce sent General Zhou Tai to attack the Administration Office. Countless soldiers were killed. Eldest Miss was injured in order to protect Lady Qi!"
"Sun Ce!" Lü Bu's anger seemed to have found an outlet. Lü Bu's biggest weakness was his family! Sun Ce sent the Zhou Family to attack the Administration Office. This had already touched Lü Bu's limit. Now that Liu Mang had fainted, Lü Bu was on the verge of exploding.
"Sun Ce, Jiangdong Army!" Lü Bu clenched his fist tightly. He, Lü Bu, had never wanted to kill someone so much. "Since you want to play, then we will play a good game tomorrow!"
Lü Bu was really angry. Sun Ce did not abide by the rules. He had touched Lü Bu's reverse scale. A dragon's reverse scale meant death!
