Xiahou was shocked, he definitely didn't expect Qiao Rui to say such a thing, he still didn't believe it, and pointed to the tense Qiao Rui soldiers around him and sneered faintly: "As Your Excellency said, you should also be made to believe that you are, how can you have such a situation to be with people?"

Qiao Rui took the spear from the deputy general, pointed at Xiahou and said: "Then show Zhang Xun, the two armies stop fighting, you and I will compete to decide the winner, I have heard that the general's martial arts are superb, I dare not hold it up, so I will limit it to ten rounds, if I insist on ten rounds, I will lead the army to withdraw, and elbow Zhang Xun, if there is no death at the hands of the general within Shihe, these soldiers will be Cao Gong's people in the future!"

Xiahoudun didn't react, and was stunned for a moment: "Why, you don't have any benefit whether you win or lose!"

Qiao Rui looked up to the sky and laughed: "Since I came, I have expected that I will not be able to go back, and my subordinates also understand their own situation, General Xiahou, you should be glad that it is not me who is arrogant, if I let the soldiers attack with all their might, the casualties of your Qingzhou soldiers will not be the current number!"

Xiahoudun was even more stunned, yes, most of his soldiers were only slightly injured in this battle, was it really Qiao Rui's subordinates who showed mercy? Then: "Yuan Yao's generals are really not to be underestimated!"

Qiaorui's men and horses really stopped fighting, gathered into a defensive formation and slowly retreated, and the Qingzhou soldiers did the same. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Let's start!" Qiao Rui shouted, attacking Xiahoudun.

I have to say that Qiao Rui's martial arts are not a little worse than a star, they are very poor, although Xiahoudun only used less than thirty percent of his strength, Qiao Rui was already sweating profusely, it is really hard to believe that this is a general who brought out a tiger and wolf army.

Nine rounds have passed, Qiao Rui is already out of breath, and Xiahoudun also saw that Zhang Xun who suddenly appeared arrived on horseback, and was hesitating how to make a move in the next round, Qiao Rui's words broke his contemplation:

"This is the last round, what are you still stunned about?"

This sentence is followed by Qiao Rui and his weapons on the dense attack like wind and rain, it is hard to imagine that at this time Qiao Rui can still attack such a dripping marksmanship, no place is not fierce, no place is not terrifying, and no place is not a hidden killing machine, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that there is only the ability to parry and no power to fight back.

But Xiahoudun is not an ordinary person, he almost regarded the stormy marksmanship attacked by Qiao Rui in front of him as nothing, and the Qilin Tooth in his hand screamed, and there was a sound, dancing in his hand, it was like waving his hands and feet, and in an instant, he organized a wall of qi, forcing Qiao Rui's offensive to no longer advance for half a minute.

"Be careful!"

The two were in such a stalemate for a moment, only to see Xiahoudun suddenly exert force, the air wall fluctuated suddenly, and rushed to Qiaorui like a collapsed high-rise building, only to hear the earth-shattering sound, Qiaorui was directly knocked off the horse, fell into the distance, a mouthful of blood spurted out, looked at Xiahoudun with a complicated face, and was angry on the spot.

The adjutant general stepped forward to help Qiao Rui, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and said in shock: "The handsome man is dead!"

"Dead? how is this possible?" Xiahoudun couldn't help but be stunned, his strength was a little heavy just now, but after ten rounds, he still tested Qiao Rui's strength, and it was impossible for him to be injured by such a simple attack, unless-

Xiahoudun looked at Zhang Xun not far away, and sure enough, Zhang Xun was holding a bow at this time, looking at the feather arrow in the back of Qiaorui's corpse on the ground with a solemn expression!

"Yuan Yao's general Qiao Rui attacked Chen State, Xiahou Dun led his troops to resist, killed Qiao Rui in the midst of ten thousand troops, and collected all the soldiers and horses under his command, and now he has reversed the decline and divided his troops into three ways to attack Li Feng, Liang Gang and Le Jie The three remnants of the enemy army who fled into the bitter city are specially reported to the lord!" Cao Cao has not yet arrived at Chen State, so he got this great news from Tanma, and he couldn't help but unfold his thick eyebrows for several days:

"Okay, order the whole army to step up their march towards the bitter city, don't let these three groups escape!"

Cao Cao stepped up his march, and soon arrived at the bitter city, and heard the shouting of killing from a distance, and probed the horse to report: "Although the enemy army is defeated, there are still 30,000 people, and the grain and grass in the city can be supported for several months, the enemy army fled into the city and held out, the bitter city and the city are difficult to break, General Xiahou has no good plan, and is in a stalemate with the enemy, and he has attacked many times and has no way!"

Sure enough, before Tanma's words were finished, he heard the shouting and killing just now stop abruptly, Cao Cao frowned, looked at the city wall in the distance, and said to Guo Jia: "Yuan Rang has been fighting for many days, he should let his soldiers rest more, Qingzhou soldiers are not good at attacking the city, we will do the rest!"

Guo Jia nodded: "Yes, and General Xiahou has newly collected Qiao Rui to surrender the army, and he must settle the army's heart first, if he neglects this and causes the army to mutiny, it will be worth the loss, and killing the general Qiao Rui is not enough to resist the previous Fancheng mistakes, could it be that the lord really wants to correct such a good general?"

"Don't say it!" Cao Cao smiled, "If the Qingzhou soldiers violate military discipline again this time, maybe Yuan Rang's character will kill himself directly!"

"Hahahaha, drive!"

At this time, there was still Li Fengle in the city Liang Gang, plus the original guard of Kucheng Chen Ji, four people totaled no less than 30,000 horses, gathered in Kucheng, Zhang Xun assassinated Qiao Rui, he was also going to retreat into Kucheng, but he miscalculated Qiao Rui's subordinates turned to Xiahou Dun, and only a few people joined his command.

In this way, Xiahoudun is not inferior to Zhang Xun in terms of military strength alone, Zhang Xun knows that it is difficult to fight, and in the enemy's territory, according to Cao Cao's character, he will definitely come with a light army, so he does not fight with Xiahoudun, and goes to Huainan with his own troops.

When passing by Kucheng, Li Feng and the four of them were surprised why Zhang Xun didn't enter the city, but when they saw Xiahoudun's 20,000 horses following closely, they thought they were going to pursue Zhang Xun, so they didn't take precautions, but the next moment the four of them were dumbfounded, and Xiahoudun directly ordered the army to surround the four gates of Kucheng and began to attack fiercely.

Dumbfounded to dumbfounded, people come to attack the city and they have to defend the city, Li Feng personally guarded the east gate that Xiahou was attacking, and Liang Gangle guarded the three city gates in the southwest and north attacked by Shi Lian, Han Hao and Qin Qi, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while.

However, the arrival of Cao Cao's army made Li Feng's mood fall to the bottom, looking at the countless Cao troops densely packed from near and far, these four immediately did not know what to do, so they had to gather together to discuss countermeasures:

"Cao Cao is a big enemy, it's better to take advantage of the fact that he didn't surround the bitter city, let's break through first!" Liang Gang said with trepidation first.

"Break through, how to break through? If we had followed Zhang Xun when he left before, we wouldn't have fallen into the dilemma of riding a tiger now!" Le couldn't get used to Liang Gang's natural cowardly appearance, and said coldly.

"That is, what if Cao Cao sets up an ambush?" Li Feng also agreed with Le Yu's opinion.

"It seems that there is no other way, why should we be afraid, we have 30,000 horses and horses to defend, the grain and grass in the city are safe for several months, the city is not broken overnight, what we are really afraid of is our hearts, Cao Cao is also a human being, not a god, but he has fought a few beautiful victories, and we have not won a battle, why are we terrified when we hear Cao Cao's name?"

Liang Gang and Li Fengle glanced at each other, and said in unison: "According to your strategy, we will stick to the bitter city and ask Your Majesty for help, half of the defenders of the city in the art of war are invincible, and our 30,000 people are enough to be an army of 60,000, not to mention Cao Cao's army of 40,000 at most?"

The idea was good, but if the four of them knew what their soldiers were thinking at the moment, they would be so angry that they would jump in anger.

On the wall of the east gate, Li Feng's soldiers were whispering:

"It's so aggrieved, can we still go back to Huainan alive?"

"Who knows? Cao Cao personally came to attack the city, do you think he will stop if he doesn't break through here?"

"Why am I so unlucky, my wife is about to give birth, and I can't even imagine that I won't even be able to see my child! I heard that after Cao Cao broke the city, there was no distinction between men and women, old and young, do you remember when he attacked Xuzhou? Tens of thousands of corpses blocked the river!"

"Alas, when the fight starts, let's find a chance to escape!"

"Just what I want!"

……

Cao Cao learned on the road that Zhang Xun had led his troops to Huainan, so he ordered Yu Ban to pursue, and when he arrived at the bitter city, it happened that Xiahou Dun's men and horses were repairing, so he ordered the army to divide into four roads, and surrounded the bitter city like an iron bucket, ready to launch the next onslaught.

Xiahoudun came to see Cao Cao: "Why did Meng De come in person? I can handle this kind of night!"

Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder: "You are only 20,000 people, but the other party has 30,000 people, and the city is strong and the grain is extensive, if you don't fight and hold on, how can you take it?"

Xiahoudun didn't care: "Meng De also thinks too highly of them, but don't you care about the situation in Shouchun?"

Cao Cao looked at the enemy troops waiting on the city wall, and said quietly: "Do you remember how we fought Xuzhou?"

Xiahou was stunned and asked tentatively, "Slaughter the city?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said sharply: "Wrong, it's to cut its wings, so that Yuan Yao can watch his army and city lose away, and also feel the taste of being trapped and waiting for death!"

"Kill!" another offensive and defensive battle began.

Kucheng is not a big city, it is just a small place, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops gathered here by Li Feng and Cao Cao, it might have been so lonely forever.

Two evenly matched forces are bound to stage an earth-shattering battle in a certain projectile land, such as Changshe, Jieqiao, Fancheng, and Xiaopei...... This bitter city is destined to be only one of the millions of projectiles.

It's just that the price is that countless lives have died and the walls have become broken, and that's it.
