Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 863 Kowtow to Chang'an (11)

   Without thinking about it, Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd to slash it out, but Fang felt something bad when he touched it. This hard feeling was not a corpse at all, but a stone!

  Amidst the loud bang of "铛", sparks splashed all over the sky!

  If it weren’t for the quality of Fang Tian’s painted halberd, such a blow would basically declare that ordinary weapons would be completely useless...

  Although Lu Bu successfully knocked the ringing stone into the air, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He hit the bodyguard behind him and stabilized his body. The hand holding Fang Tian's painting halberd was also a little numb.

"damn it…"

  Before Lu Bu finished cursing, he saw a few huge rolling logs and rocks thrown down one after another from above his head!

  These materials, which were originally piled inside the city gate tower to resist foreign enemies, are now used by Xiliang soldiers to smash up the soldiers defending the city. This cannot but be said to be an extreme irony.

  No matter how brave Lu Bu was, he couldn't fight this kind of attack recklessly, so he could only lean against the wall of the corridor as much as possible, and fly the fallen logs and rocks away.

   Several personal guards and some ordinary soldiers who followed Lu Bu couldn't dodge in time, and were hit by the rolling wood and rocks, almost breaking their heads and breaking their chests and legs on the spot!

  The momentum of Lu Bu and others charging upwards was immediately blocked, and they were stuck in the middle of the corridor and could not enter!

Just as Lu Bu yelled for someone to bring the shield, and was about to lift it up sideways to dispel the falling stones and continue to attack upwards, several large clay jars were thrown from above, hitting Lu Bu and the others on the ground. In front, black kerosene splashed in all directions, staining everywhere, even splashing on Lu Bu's face...

   Fan Chou's soldiers got a little respite, and even moved out several jars of kerosene stored in the ear room at the corner of the city wall!

   Several torches fell from the air in circles!

  Lu Bu finally changed his expression. Just now he yelled "Fire oil! Get back!", when he heard a loud bang, red and blue flames shot up into the sky, and quickly spread along the oil stains!

Lu Bu turned around and was about to retreat, but found that the corridor behind him was crowded with people, and he couldn't retreat in an instant, while the flames as tall as a person in front of him rushed towards him fiercely, as if they were about to swallow Lu Bu in a mouthful. devour!

"Jump!"

  At this moment, Lu Bu immediately made the most correct choice, and jumped down from the six or seven meter high tunnel!

And the few guards and soldiers around Lu Bu who moved a little slower were engulfed by the huge flames in the next moment, turned into a pillar of fire, let out an inhuman scream, fell down, and twitched a few times on the ground. Then there is no breath.

Although Lu Bu escaped the flames, he stepped on a corpse when he landed. With his heavy body and his heavy armor, his unevenly stressed ankle suddenly twisted. With an abnormal shape, Lu Bu he groaned in pain, staggered a few steps, and quickly supported himself with Fang Tian's painting halberd, so as not to fall to the ground.

  Several personal guards rushed forward quickly, supported Lu Bu and retreated. If one leg was limped in the battle, no matter how brave they were, they would have no way to continue fighting!

  Although Fan Chou stood on the city wall and saw it, he couldn’t get down for a while, so he could only watch Lu Bu escape with the help of his personal guards...

"Hahahaha! Lu Bu, Shuzi! Someone came up and fought Sanbaihe with Grandpa!" Fan Chou brandished his saber and shouted loudly, and as if echoing Fan Chou's shout, the reinforcements from Xiliang outside Chang'an City came again A batch is coming!

  The Xiliang soldiers who poured into the city again shouted even louder: "Kill! Kill! Kill and enter Chang'an City!"

Above the tunnel, the fire is still fierce, the stone steps and bricks of the burning city are crackling, and the black smoke rises straight into the sky, as if it is connected with the dark clouds in the sky, as if it is the sky of the big man. It's like poking a hole!

  **********************

  In the palace, Liu Xie was a little flustered when he heard the noise outside.

  This extremely frightening sound of screaming personnel, Liu Xie did not expect to hear it for the second time in Chang'an...

  When I was in Luoyang, that night, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led troops to break into the palace. At that time, the same voice sounded in the palace as it is now!

   And after this sound...

   Liu Xie shuddered.

  At this time, he understood why his elder brother's face was so pale and his hands were so cold.

   "Don't be alarmed, Your Majesty, Situ has ordered the guards in the palace to guard the palace gate strictly, so that His Majesty will be safe." Outside the bedroom, an **** knelt outside the door and said.

   "Where is Wang Situ?" Liu Xie asked.

   "Situ has already gone to the palace wall to inspect and sit in town..." the **** reported back.

   "Oh..." Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "...Do you know who made the mess?"

   "...Report to Your Majesty..." The **** paused, and then said, "...It is said that...the soldiers of Dong...Dong thief..."

  Liu Xie couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked back at the long sword placed on the wooden frame on the side of the hall, the sword left by Dong Zhuo...

   "...Dong... Grand Master Dong..." Liu Xie murmured, "...Are you here for revenge..."

  ************************

  On the walls of the imperial palace, soldiers of the Imperial Army wore bright armor and stood on the walls of the palace, ready to fight.

Situ Wangyun listened to the loud noises in the city, he didn't know if he left in a hurry just now, or for some other reason, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his head, and his voice couldn't help being a little louder "What? Reinforcements from the Xiliang rebels have come?! How many Xiliang rebels have come to the city?"

   "..." The commander of the imperial army on duty on the palace wall lowered his head and remained silent. The gates of the imperial palace are all closed. It is already very good for me to let people inquire about this news. How can I know exactly how many soldiers from Xiliang have come?

   "... Has the order to send reinforcements to Lingyi been issued?!" Wang Yun saw that the commander of the imperial army couldn't answer, and realized that the question he just asked was a bit stupid, so he changed the subject and said.

  The commander of the Forbidden Army clasped his hands and replied: "I report to Situ, after receiving Situ's order, I immediately dispatched..."

   "Good!" Wang Yun nodded, then looked left and right, and said, "Let people bring more defensive equipment, and send people to get them for rolling wood and rocks!"

   "..." The commander of the imperial army couldn't help grinning, lowered his head and said, "I'm telling Situ...rolling wood and rocks...that's all..."

   "What?!" Wang Yun's eyes widened, and suddenly he felt that not only his head was sweating, but also a layer of sweat appeared on his back.

   "Report to Situ..." The commander of the imperial army still lowered his head and said, "...in the palace, the reserves of these rolling logs and rocks are not as good as those in the outer city..."

   "...Then there is fire oil? What about gold juice?" Although Wang Yun had never directly led troops in battle, at least he understood some of these things, so he kept asking.

   Never thought about the commander of the imperial army, but shook his head again and again, and said: "This... there is only a little fire oil, gold juice... this... no..."

  In the imperial palace, water and fire are the most important things. Where will there be a large amount of flammable fire oil and other utensils?

As for the golden juice, hehe, every day when the sky is just getting dark, the first thing the maidservants and eunuchs in the palace do is to gather Ye Xiang into one place and send it outside the palace. Where will it be stored? In the palace?

   "Arrows! Are there always arrows?!" Wang Yun clenched his hands in his sleeves tightly and asked slightly trembling.

"... Yes, but there are not many... Inside the arsenal..." The commander of the imperial army took a quick look at Wang Yun, and then said, "...Situ Lingwen went out to fight, moved some weapons, and then went into the water... and then Moved out of town a bit…”

   "..." Wang Yun was speechless, but felt his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes turned black...
