Kaiyang was originally the administrative center of Langye County. It was a large city, but now it was empty!
The entire city was in perfect condition, without any signs of war. However, the flags and soldiers on top of the city wall had disappeared! There were no soldiers guarding the gates of the city either. The entire city was like a naked young woman beckoning to the army!
The Lvbu's Army entered the city effortlessly and closed the city gate!
"What's going on? Where's Zang Ba?! Why can't I see a single soldier in Kaiyang?! " Lü Bu frowned. If Cao Cao attacked Langye, then it was impossible for Kaiyang to not have any traces of war! If there was no attack, then why was Kaiyang completely undefended?!
Could it be that Zang Ba surrendered to Cao Cao? Impossible! If he had surrendered, he would have been stopped from entering the city!
"My lord, I've asked clearly! Zang Ba, he, he dismissed his troops! "Zhang Liao brought people to question some of the remaining soldiers who were unable to leave in time!
"Dismissed his troops?!" Lü Bu was stunned. How could one survive in a chaotic world without troops? Lü Bu immediately became furious, "This Zang Ba Zang Xuan Gao, I originally thought he was someone important. I didn't expect him to be such a good-for-nothing!"
"My lord, please calm down! Please calm down! " Chen Gong walked out, "My lord, did you know that when Xiapi was besieged, the only one who sent troops to help was General Zang Ba?!"
"Is that so?!" Lü Bu's mood improved a little. However, he immediately became incomparably irritated! He came to Langye to discuss with Chen Gong. It was to subdue Zang Ba's troops and military equipment in Langye, giving him a chance to make a comeback! However, Zang Ba Zang Xuan Gao had dismissed his troops! How could he subdue them? How could he make a comeback!
"Zang Ba, where are they now?!" Lü Bu rubbed his head and asked.
"General Zang is rushing here!" When Zhang Liao found Zang Ba, he was already preparing to pack up and escape. Zhang Liao couldn't possibly tell him! He could only tell Lü Bu that Zang Ba was on his way here!
In a short while, Zang Ba entered the city in his armor!
"Zang Ba, Xuan Gao, greets my lord!" Zang Ba bowed! To Lu Bu, he was not like those old brothers who had gone through life and death together! It was a friendship formed through battles!
Zang Ba's admiration for Lü Lü Bu Originally, he thought that Lu Bu had been trapped in Xiapi, unable to escape! Because the Siege of Sishui was unbreakable! Zang Ba had sent troops to help, but they were forced to retreat by Cao Jun!
Lü Bu was gone, and Zang Ba's heart turned cold. Even Lü Bu was no match for Lao Cao. How could Zang Ba be a match for him?! Therefore, Zang Ba dismissed his troops and prepared to leave the countryside and become a rich man!
Now that he saw Lü Bu standing in front of him alive, Zang Ba's heart stirred again!
"Zang Ba, Zang Xuan Gao! You still know how to call me your lord? You are muddle-headed, extremely muddle-headed! " Lü Bu's anger subsided a little when he saw that Zang Ba still knew how to put on his armor. How could he not know what Zang Ba was thinking? "You thought that once I, Lü Bu, was defeated and Cao Cao's army came, you wouldn't be able to defeat them and would be captured in the end, right?! That's why you dismissed your troops and escaped to the countryside to become a rich man? "
"My lord?!" Zang Ba's face flushed red when Lü Bu saw through his thoughts. He was full of shame!
"Zang Ba, Zang Ba, you are muddle-headed!" What was the meaning of heroes sympathizing with each other? Regarding Zang Ba who was as arrogant as himself, Lu Bu liked him from the bottom of his heart!
"I, Lü Bu, thought that I was invincible but I didn't dare to roam the world alone. Why is that?!" Lü Bu pointed at Zang Ba and said, "Two fists can't fight four hands. If you had your troops, Cao Cao might still be afraid of you and persuade you to surrender! But once you dismissed your troops, you would be a fish on the chopping board. Any battalion of soldiers would be able to tie you to the front and behead you! "
"Me?!" Zang Ba was ashamed.
"Report!" A scout ran over and knelt on the ground, "My lord, outside the city, outside the city, Cao Jun's cavalry has been spotted!"
"Oh?!" Lü Bu let go of Zang Ba and led his soldiers to the top of the city wall.
"Below the city walls, a large group of black-armored cavalrymen were lined up neatly. Under the leadership of a general, they were looking at the city walls. The entire group was silent. They were definitely the elites of the elites!
"Ferocious Cavalry!" Lü Bu narrowed his eyes and looked at the elite heavy cavalry below.
Once upon a time, Lü Bu had a troop of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that didn't belong to the Ferocious Cavalry. With him, Lü Bu could move freely in the face of ten thousand soldiers! No one could stop him!
But now! The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was still there, but they didn't have any horses! Of the ten thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that broke out of the siege in Xiapi, only less than a thousand remained.
These were all the brothers that followed Lü Bu from Bing Province!
"If only I had a war horse! I would definitely charge out and compete with the Ferocious Cavalry! "Zhang Liao gnashed his teeth in hatred. Although the Ferocious Cavalry was elite, they were still nothing in Zhang Liao's eyes! The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was never afraid of a challenge!
"Enough!" Lü Bu stopped Zhang Liao's dissatisfaction and turned his head to Chen Gong. "Gongtai, what should we do now?" Their original plan was to get supplies from Langye and leave Xu Province!
But now, the entire city of Kaiyang only had less than ten thousand soldiers left! There was still Cao Jun's Ferocious Cavalry outside!
The Ferocious Cavalry was a heavy cavalry. They couldn't attack a city, but they were very mobile. If they circled around the city, they would really block the Lvbu's Army in the city!
It would be very difficult for the infantry to break out of the siege! They had just charged out of Xiapi, but now they were trapped in Kaiyang?!
Lü Bu closed his eyes. He was very angry right now! If he didn't close his eyes, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would kill Zang Ba!
"Sigh!" Chen Gong also didn't expect Zang Ba and Xuan Gao to be so thorough! Dismissing the troops! This required a certain amount of determination!
"General Zang, how much provisions, armor, weapons, and war horses do we have in Kaiyang?" Chen Gong cupped his hands towards Zang Ba and asked.
"This!" Zang Ba was embarrassed. If he dismissed the troops, he would naturally distribute the provisions. Now, there were less than five thousand dan left in the city!
Zang Ba braced himself and said, "There are still five thousand dan left. There aren't many armor and weapons left. At most, we can replenish a battalion's worth of weapons! War horses! Xu Province was originally part of the Central Plains, so there was a shortage of war horses! "There are less than a hundred war horses left!"
"Five thousand dan! A hundred war horses! A battalion's worth of weapons?! "Although Kaiyang was big, could it be compared to Xiapi? Although ten thousand men was a lot, could it be compared to the seventy thousand Lü Bu's Army?
A ten thousand man army would need to eat 100 dan of provisions in a day! Would five thousand dan be enough for a month?!
"Dirty Xuan Gao, good, very good!" Lü Bu had the heart to chop Zang Ba!
"Milord, please calm down! We can only wait for the right time! Let's see if we can break through at night! " Chen Gong was also helpless. Once they were trapped here by the Ferocious Cavalry, Cao Jun's Army would head south and they would be unable to escape!
This was the only way now!
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the rest of the Lvbu's Army assigned the task of defending the city. These ten thousand men were newly surrendered troops, so they had to be extra careful. If they weren't careful, there might be a rebellion!
"Lü Bu? Kaiyang?! "Cao Chun below the city walls laughed! If the Lvbu's Army took the shortcut into Mount Tai, Cao Chun might not be able to do anything to them! However, Lü Bu was muddle-headed. He wanted the support of Zang Ba! He wanted to enter Kaiyang!
He also found out from the mouths of the refugees that Zang Ba had already dismissed the troops in Kai Yang, and the people inside had also taken refuge! Therefore, in the whole of Kaiyang, there were only ten thousand men that could stop Cao Jun!
"Xiapi didn't take your life! Let Kaiyang be your grave! " Cao Chun laughed. "Pass the order, report to the Prime Minister that the tiger has been trapped and is waiting for the tiger killer!"
"Yes!" The messenger received the order and left!
"Ferocious Cavalry, listen to the order. Split into groups of two hundred men and patrol Kaiyang day and night! Don't let a single person from the Lvbu's Army escape! "
"Yes!" Two hundred heavy cavalry, you won't be able to defeat one thousand infantry! With this time, the rest of the Ferocious Cavalry would be able to quickly provide support.
The Ferocious Cavalry couldn't siege the city, but they could fight in the open! Hmph! Even if it was the Lvbu's Army's strongest Formation Breaker, Cao Chun would dare to fight!
