Chapter 1723 Unexpected
Lu Meng led an army of 50,000 to the outside of the palace gate.
The black-clothed team responsible for guarding the palace immediately closed the door when they saw something was wrong.
Lu Meng stopped in front of the gate and ordered his army to surround the small palace in front of him. Then he shouted to the palace: "Liu Xian, you can't escape today! Come out quickly and surrender, I won't make things difficult for you!"
Not long after, Liu Xian, who was wearing military uniform, came down to the attic near the gate accompanied by Diao Chan, and shouted to Lu Meng outside the gate: "Lu Meng, do you know that you are committing a rebellion?"
Lu Meng laughed and said, "I only know that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was under house arrest by the treacherous emperor, and the treacherous emperor who was under house arrest is now in front of me."
Liu Xian couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Lu Meng smiled and said, "It's too late to sigh now! Liu Xian, you are a character. Now you have no hope, so you don't have to fight for trapped beasts anymore! Isn't that ugly?"
Liu Xian looked at Lu Meng and asked with a smile: "General Lu Meng thinks I sighed because I was afraid?"
When Lu Meng suddenly heard this, his heart skipped a beat and couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?"
Liu Xian looked up at the distance, then looked back at Lu Meng and said, "Lu Meng, you are a very powerful person. I don't think you would be so rushing if you were not forced by the situation, right?"
Lu Meng sneered: "Do you want to say that I fell into your trap? You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Lu Meng! I will never be scared away by your false words!"
Then he didn't want to say more, raised his right hand and sang: "Every army will listen to my order..."
The Wu army units shouted one after another, like a group of beasts ready to go.
Liu Xian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Why don't people in the world want to listen to the truth!" He turned his head to the drummer beside him and said: "Beat the drum!"
The drummer was ordered, and when he danced a pair of drumsticks with all his strength, the rumbling drum sounded immediately, like bursts of thunder!
Lu Meng was about to order an attack, but found that the opponent had actually beaten the war drum, and he couldn't help but feel shocked and suspicious.
At this moment, the city suddenly had a loud sound of killing, and the originally quiet city seemed to boil in the blink of an eye.
Lu Meng and the officers and soldiers around him were all shocked and quickly looked around. Lu Meng shouted to the scout beside him: "Report me immediately to investigate the situation in the city!" The scout Yingnuo said and galloped away.
"How is it? Do you still think I'm bluffing now?" Liu Xian asked with a smile.
Lu Meng looked at Liu Xian who was standing in the attic for leisure. Although he was shocked, there was no fluctuation on his face, as if everything was in his control.
Lu Meng smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Liu Xian, you are just bluffing! All your main forces have been sent to the east. Even if you transfer all the troops from Shouchun Hefei and other places, the number of people will be only more than 60,000!
If my troops are less than half of our army, what are I afraid of? Our army will win this battle!"
The Wu army officers and soldiers were originally a little panicked, but after listening to Lu Meng's analysis, the panic was gone. They only felt that what their deputy governor said was that the enemy was insufficient, and even if the enemy was ambushed, they would be sure to win the battle.
Liu Xian smiled and nodded, "It's worthy of being Lu Meng, and his analysis is very precise. It's a pity that you've done less."
Lu Meng felt that Liu Xian was delaying the time, so he shouted at his subordinates, "The whole army obeys the order and attacks immediately! Those who capture Liu Xian alive will be rewarded with tens of taels of gold!"
The Wu army was very motivated and rushed towards the palace with shouts. They broke through the gate and rushed in.
At this moment, many Liu Xianjun officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on the surrounding houses, lifting up their crossbows and pouring out dense rain of arrows towards the Wu army rushing in, and the Wu army officers and soldiers were shot down a lot.
However, the Wu army was also well-trained elite after all. They were not scared by the opponent's crossbow shooting and continued to rush forward. At the same time, the shield hands rushed up and quickly erected shields around their own army to form a shield curtain!
The attack effect of the crossbow suddenly weakened by half, and most of the dense arrows hit the shield, making a loud sound like rain hitting banana leaves!
At the same time, Wu Jun crossbowmen kept shooting at the surrounding houses with the help of shields, and saw Liu Xian's officers and soldiers on the houses being shot down one after another.
Lu Meng was eager to take Liu Xian and ordered some of his troops to fight against the enemy in the front yard. He himself led his main force through the battlefield where both sides fought straight towards the arch leading to the back garden.
A group of officers and soldiers first poured into the arch, and the sound of a fierce battle came immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Meng led a large army to influx, and a scene that was beyond his expectations suddenly came into view! Lu Meng saw that his vanguard actually hit a solid defense line composed of more than a thousand heavy armored infantry!
The torrent, which was not very powerful, hit the dam made of iron walls! The impact had no effect, but instead hit the iron walls of the copper walls and bones!
The infantrymen like tower suddenly waved a huge horse-slashing sword, and saw the light of the sword flashing, and blood rain flew everywhere. The Wu army's vanguard officers and soldiers were cut down in a pool of blood!
Lu Meng was shocked and angry, and ordered the army to attack!
The army howled and rushed forward, but at this moment, countless thunderstorms flew out from behind Liu Xianjun's steel defense line and rolled into the middle of the Wu army!
Seeing this, Lu Meng was shocked. Before he could warn his subordinates, a huge explosion sounded, and it was connected, and balls of flames rose up to overturn all the Wu soldiers around him to the ground!
Just as the Wu army was dizzy by the bombing, a tiger-like roar suddenly came from the side, and the powerful general Dian Wei led nearly a thousand infantry to break the formation to rush up!
The Wu army was shocked and rushed to resist, and was immediately cut down countless like a pair of melons and vegetables by their opponents. The infantry broke the formation cut the Wu army who rushed into the back garden into two pieces with an unstoppable momentum!
Lu Meng stared at his opponent's heavy armored sharp soldiers, and was very annoyed. He couldn't help but regret leaving all the sky-blasting thunder in Jiangnan in order to rush forward. This time he could be said to have completely miscalculated.
However, Lu Meng did not intend to give up because he judged that the opponent's military strength was indeed the same as his previous estimate, less than half of his army.
So although he miscalculated, it was too early to say that the outcome of this battle had been decided! Now that things have come to this point, retreating is definitely not the best strategy. It is better to fight back and forth for the sake of the current plan. Maybe it can turn defeat into victory and open up the situation!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Meng made up his mind and immediately led his army to quickly withdraw from the back garden. He was not going to retreat, but was preparing to adjust his deployment and launch an attack!
