Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this and looked at Cao Bao hurriedly.
Also shocked was Cao Bao.
In fact, Cao Bao was very conflicted. He couldn't figure out whether he was really surrendering to Lu Bu or pretending to surrender.
Originally, Zhou Ping's intention was to let him gain Lu Bu's trust, and then take the opportunity to kill Lu Bu after the ambush attack.
But just now, even Cao Bao believed what he said was true, thinking that he really came out to surrender to Lu Bu.
"General Lu, move quickly, there is an ambush!"
Cao Bao finally discovered that in his heart, he really wanted to betray Liu Bei and surrender to Lu Bu. As for his wife and children, as mentioned just now, how can a man who has achieved great things care about his wife and children?
Now that he has led his troops out of the city and gained his freedom, if he does not rebel now, then he will wait until later.
He remembered what Zhou Ping said about the ambush outside the city, and immediately shouted to Lu Bu, wanting to retreat with him.
However, Cao Bao wanted to surrender, but his soldiers remembered what he said in the city. They came out to pretend to surrender to Lu Bu.
So after hearing Zhou Ping's shouting, almost all the soldiers clenched their weapons and glared at Lu Bu's troops, preparing to attack.
Lu Bu discovered this and immediately remembered what Chen Gong had told him that Cao Bao would most likely conspire with Zhou Wen'an to deliberately lure him there.
No wonder Xu Bin died, no wonder Zhou Wen'an knew that he wanted to capture Xiapi.
It turns out that Cao Bao really conspired with Zhou Wen'an.
Lu Bu roared angrily: "You dare to bully me? You are looking for death!"
As he spoke, he urged the red rabbit horse to leap forward, and then Fang Tian waved his halberd.
Cao Bao saw Lu Bu urging his horse to leap forward, and wanted to explain, so he just shouted: "General Lu, I am really..."
Unfortunately, Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was too fast, and Lu Bu's halberd was also very fast. Before Cao Bao could finish speaking, Fang Tian stabbed him in the neck with his halberd. Cao Bao was speechless and fell off his horse.
Cheng Lian and Wei Yue had already seen Lu Bu moving his horse, and they followed closely and rushed forward towards Xu Dan, who was beside Cao Bao.
Xu Dan was still thinking just now. He didn't know whether what General Cao said was the truth or a lie. He didn't know whether he was really surrendering or pretending to surrender.
It wasn't until Cao Bao shouted to Lu Bu to leave quickly, saying that there was an ambush, that he realized that General Cao really wanted to surrender to Lu Bu.
But it was already too late. Cao Bao was stabbed off his horse by Lu Bu, and the general beside Lu Bu slapped his horse and ran towards him, raising his knife to chop him.
Xu Dan raised his sword and wanted to block it, but Cheng Lian swung the sword very quickly and struck Xu Dan with his sword. Wei Yue pierced his body with a spear at the same time.
With a scream, Xu Dan fell off his horse and died.
Seeing that Cao Bao and Xu Dan were both killed by Lu Bu and his generals, those Danyang soldiers were frightened and wanted to retreat. However, they saw Xu Sheng leading his troops behind them and running towards them. Sima Zhang lied and shouted: "Brothers, kill Lu Bu for the sake of peace."
General Cao and General Xu take revenge!"
He knew that he had nowhere to retreat now because the city gate was closed.
Cao Bao and Xu Dan were both dead, and now Sima Zhang had the highest military position. So everyone turned around and charged towards Lu Bu's troops with shouts.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun rushed over with their troops and soon joined the Danyang soldiers in a mixed battle.
Cao Bao and Xu Dan both died in the hands of the enemy. These Danyang soldiers were aroused with anger and had no way to retreat. Behind them were soldiers and horses led by Xu Sheng.
Moreover, they already know that there are ambushes from Xuzhou outside the city. Those ambush soldiers will attack soon and will definitely kill Lu Bu this time.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Bu was even more convinced that Cao Bao was faking his surrender, otherwise why would his soldiers fight so angrily?
As for Cao Bao's shout about an ambush just now, Lu Bu didn't care, thinking that it was Cao Bao's lie. He carried Fang Tian's painted halberd and rushed into the Danyang soldiers. He waved the halberd like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, killing those Danyang soldiers.
The soldiers no longer dare to approach.
Xu Sheng led his troops to fight and saw an enemy general not far ahead, so he urged his horse to run towards him.
This enemy general was Qin Yilu, a general under Lu Bu. He was holding a spear in his hand and was being besieged by more than a dozen soldiers.
Although Qin Yilu was not outstanding in terms of martial arts, he was still a general. He stabbed three or four soldiers to death in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Xu Sheng rushed over and struck with his sword.
Qin Yilu saw that the general who was coming to fight had a resolute face and a fearless air exuding from his body. It seemed that he must not be an ordinary person.
I didn't dare to be careless at the moment and quickly swung my spear to block it.
Lu Bu's troops numbered more than 5,000, but Xu Shengcai led 2,000 to fight out. Together with Cao Bao's 1,000 Danyang soldiers, the total was only 3,000. How could he resist?
Moreover, Lu Bu is so brave, and there are also brave generals such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue.
After a while, Xuzhou's soldiers and horses were killed and retreated.
Zhou Ping watched the battle on the city wall and was secretly shocked.
It turns out that Lu Bu is really brave, and there are generals such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. If Xu Sheng and others were relied on alone, they would definitely be defeated miserably.
Lu Bu was killed so hard that no enemy soldiers dared to approach him. At this moment, he had some free time and looked up the city, only to see that Zhou Ping seemed calm and composed, not at all afraid of the battle outside the city.
He couldn't help but wonder, he couldn't figure out what kind of person this Zhou Ping was.
At this moment, I heard the beating of drums from the south, north and back, and then I heard a cry of killing.
"General, there is an ambush in the south!"
"General, there is an ambush in the north!"
"General, there is an ambush behind you!"
Lu Bu received reports from his soldiers one after another. He looked up and saw enemy soldiers rushing towards him from all directions. His troops were now surrounded by enemy soldiers.
The greatest function of an ambush is to appear unexpectedly and suddenly, so that the enemy is not expecting it and does not know how many men and horses there are in the ambush, so they are frightened.
Especially like now, when there are enemy soldiers in the front, and suddenly there are ambushes on the left, right and back, even if these ambush soldiers are old, weak, women and children, it will have a very big deterrent effect.
Not only the soldiers were frightened, but also Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were looking around in fear at this moment, looking for a chance to break out.
"General, go quickly and fight out from behind."
Gao Shun rushed to Lu Bu's side and shouted to him.
"Okay, you clear the way in front, and I'll cut off the rear."
Lu Bu knew that with so many enemy soldiers now appearing, he could not retreat without retreating.
Gao Shun didn't have time to accept the promise, so he turned around and led the trapped camp to fight back.
Zhang Fei appeared from the south. He was carrying a Zhangba snake spear and after stabbing a dozen enemy soldiers, he was looking around for enemy generals to fight with.
He saw Lu Bu and saw that Lu Bu was extremely powerful, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed that he had found his opponent.
When the Kwantung Allied Army attacked Dong in Suanzao, Liu Bei did not participate, so Zhang Fei and Lu Bu had never met, and they did not know that this person was Lu Bu.
But judging from the armor he wore, this man must be a general.
"Yeah yeah hi..."
Zhang Fei roared violently and charged at Lu Bu all the way. The enemy soldiers gave way one after another, and no one dared to block him. Those who unfortunately blocked Zhang Fei's path were either killed or injured.
Lu Bu obviously saw Zhang Fei coming towards him, and saw that his soldiers were being chopped down like vegetables by him. He couldn't help but became furious and waved his halberd to greet him.
