Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters... Looking at Cao Xiong, who was getting closer and closer, Cao Bin's heart was in his throat, and there seemed to be only Cao Xiong in his eyes, and as for the others, he had long been left behind.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

Cao Bin was awakened by fierce shouts, and at this moment Cao Xiong had already entered the checkpoint, however, Cao Hong and Xiahoudun also followed, and the rest of the soldiers from both sides were mixed together and rushed towards the checkpoint. Now it seems that if you want to hold the checkpoint, you can only kill Cao Hong and Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses.

"The soldiers obeyed the order, and at this critical moment, you should fight bravely to kill the enemy and defend your homeland. The law enforcement team listens to orders, but there are those who retreat in a cowardly battle, and there is no mercy!"

Cao Bin stabilized his mind and ordered in a loud voice. Under the command of Cao Bin, the soldiers guarding behind the gate also attacked vigorously according to Cao Bin's orders. Now either the enemy army is repulsed, or killed, and there are law enforcement teams staring at the retreat, they are simply dead, it is not as valuable as death, everyone has blood in their hearts, but it does not break out.

"Kill!"

"Defend your homeland!"

Under the command of Cao Bin, the momentum of the Xuzhou soldiers suddenly rose to a level, but Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and the soldiers and horses under his command could not rush in in a short time, and the soldiers on both sides were just fighting back and forth at the gate.

Cao Xiong returned to his own territory at this moment, and his heart was also stabilized. I ran so fast just now because Cao Hong had an ambush. Now that he has reached his own territory, the gate is so small, his own soldiers and horses are more, and the number of people is dominant, Cao Xiong's heart suddenly became hot again. The thought of killing Cao Hong was like a tarsal bone, and he couldn't stop.

"Thieves. I wasn't very happy chasing General Ben just now, so why don't you hurry up and give General Ben his life now!"

Cao Xiong turned his horse. Dancing with a big knife, he rushed towards Cao Hong. At this moment, Cao Honggang split a Xuzhou soldier and didn't seem to notice Cao Xiong's attack, Cao Xiong's heart was suddenly overjoyed, and the big knife slashed towards Cao Hong fiercely. However, just when the big knife was about to cut Cao Hong's neck, Cao Hong seemed to have been prepared, and Pu Dao blocked Cao Xiong's big knife with his backhand, slammed Cao Xiong's big knife, and at the same time cut it diagonally from Cao Xiong's neck. It was a knife that cut Cao Xiong in two, and under Cao Xiong's incredulous gaze, Cao Hong indifferently withdrew the Pu knife and killed the other Xuzhou soldiers.

Maybe Cao Xiong died and wondered, in the previous two battles, he was able to suppress Cao Hong's fight, and Cao Hong fled in embarrassment, why can't he even stop the opponent's knife now? In any case, Cao Xiong's death. It's a constant fact.

"Ah, the general is dead!"

"What to do, the enemy will be so brave, can we resist it!"

saw Cao Xiong die like this. The soldiers in Xuzhou suddenly screamed, and the morale that had just risen also fell.

Cao Bin was also stunned, couldn't Cao Xiong be able to press others to fight. What's going on now? However, soon Cao Bin couldn't figure it out. Cao Xiong is not of the same level as others at all. The previous battle was clearly releasing water, deliberately giving Cao Xiong a feeling that he was very powerful. Let Cao Xiong's self-confidence swell, and secondly, he kept insulting Cao Xiong, angering Cao Xiong, and making Cao Xiong firm in his determination to fight. It can be said that the enemy has a very thorough grasp of Cao Xiong's psychology, and Cao Xiong's thoughts and practices have been predicted. In fact, Cao Xiong also fell into an ambush set by the enemy step by step, and finally fell into the plan and gave his own life.

Thinking of this, Cao Bin felt a chill in his heart. Cao Cao has such a strong strategist under his command who has mastered the hearts of the people, is they Xuzhou the opponent of the other party? Cao Bin felt at a loss for a while about the road ahead.

It's just a blink of an eye. Seeing that his soldiers and horses were retreating, Cao Bin immediately made up his mind and shouted: "Brothers, now that the general has died in battle, if we can't hold the checkpoint, General Cao Bao will definitely not spare us after we go back." Therefore, everyone must hold the checkpoint, and General Cao Bao will let me go. For the sake of their own lives, for the sake of their relatives in the rear, everyone must hold the checkpoint, repel the enemy, and kill!"

"Kill!"

The gap between someone commanding and no one commanding is here, and Cao Bin's words suddenly activated the Xuzhou soldiers whose morale had fallen again. Of course, there is another reason that Cao Xiong's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers is not high, and they only feel a burst of horror about Cao Xiong's death, and they do not disturb the morale of the army. Therefore, after listening to Cao Bin's words, the soldiers in Xuzhou suddenly mustered up the courage again and fought hard.

"Uh-ha!"

Xiahoudun roared angrily, brandished his spear and stabbed several Xuzhou soldiers who wanted to get closer, and then looked at Cao Bin, who was commanding in the rear. Originally, they had two chances to rush into the checkpoint, but it was because of Cao Bin's command and encouragement that the soldiers in Xuzhou rushed forward fearlessly. Although the situation has developed on the good side, if it continues like this, Cao Hong and Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses will also die a lot.

Now it seems that the general who commanded must be dealt with first.

"General Zilian, with that general in command, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Hold on to me while I go and kill the guy. Xiahoudun instructed Cao Hong, his legs clamped the horse's belly, his right hand held a spear, his left hand pulled out the long knife at his waist, and under the escort of several personal soldiers, he roared and rushed towards Cao Bin.

"Block, stop!" Cao Bin saw Xiahoudun rushing towards him so fiercely, and hurriedly shouted. "Shield soldiers come forward, pikemen attack!"

A squad of shieldmen and a captain of spearmen rushed forward as they were told, with the shieldmen in front and the pikemen behind the shieldmen attacking. Although Xiahoudun rode on a horse, there was no impact of the charge, and in the case of a short handover, the cavalry was no different from ordinary troops.

"Ha! If I can't even win a small level, how can I see the lord, and how can I fight the world with the lord and die!"

Blocked by the Xuzhou soldiers, Xiahoudun roared angrily, jumped directly from the warhorse, the spear stabbed out again and again, and the long knife also slashed out without stopping. In the case of Xiahoudun's anger, the shield soldier was turned on his back by Xiahoudun's slashed man, and there was no defense of the shield soldier. How could the pikemen stop Xiahou Yuan, and he died in the blink of an eye. And Xiahoudun's personal soldiers rushed forward and solved the fallen shield soldiers one by one.

"Who else!"

Xiahou Dun's beard is all open. There was a roar, like a thunderclap on the ground, which made the ears of the Xuzhou soldiers "buzz" non-stop. Seeing Xiahoudun's figure like a god of war, the soldiers in Xuzhou were suddenly frightened and trembled, even if Cao Bin ordered to attack Xiahoudun, none of the soldiers dared to step forward again.

Seeing this, Cao Bin gritted his teeth and rushed up, but with his strength. How could it be Xiahoudun's opponent? In terms of strength, Xiahoudun was also a military general close to the top strength.

"You and other generals are dead, don't quickly put down their arms and surrender, those who surrender are not to blame in the past, but there are still those who resist, there is no forgiveness!" killed Cao Bin, Xiahoudun cut off Cao Bin's head, raised it high, and shouted angrily at the surrounding Xuzhou soldiers.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Now Cao Xiong and Cao Bin have both died in battle. The soldiers of Xuzhou suddenly seemed to have lost their backbone. Cao Xiong died, and the soldiers in Xuzhou didn't have much reaction, but now Cao Bin, who has always been in charge, has hung up, and the soldiers in Xuzhou suddenly no longer have the courage to resist. When the first Xuzhou soldier threw down his weapon to signal surrender. Like a domino stock, one after another Xuzhou soldiers dropped their weapons and blinked their eyes. The remaining Xuzhou soldiers all surrendered.

At this point, the Ershi Mountain checkpoint was lost. The main general Cao Xiong and the deputy general Cao Bin were killed in battle. 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers, more than 4,000 casualties. The remaining nearly 6,000 Xuzhou soldiers were surrendered.

"Haha, General Zilian, you can win the level in this battle, you lure the enemy to make great contributions, and you will be enlightened. After arranging the garrison in the checkpoint, Xiahoudun patted Cao Hong's shoulder and said with a laugh.

Speaking of which, under Cao Cao, Cao Hong's popularity is the worst, and there is no one.

Because Cao Hong is very rich but extremely stingy, there is basically no need to think about it when a civil and military official asks Cao Hong to borrow money. How rich was Cao Hong? Even Cao Cao thought that his family wealth was not as rich as Cao Hong. Later, Cao Pi asked Cao Hong to borrow money, but Cao Hong did not allow it, so that Cao Pi found an excuse to put Cao Hong in prison, collect his family property, and his official position, title, and fiefdom were all deprived. On the other hand, no one pleaded with Cao Hong for hundreds of civil and military officials, which shows how bad his popularity is.

Xiahoudun was the opposite of Cao Hong, Xiahoudun never bought property, Cao Cao gave him every time he gave him property, and he was frugal by nature, which was deeply valued by Cao Cao, and no one could match it at that time. Even after the death of Xiahoudun, Cao Pi personally put on mourning clothes to mourn him, and was treated by Cao Rong for his merits in Cao Cao's temple court.

Xiahoudun is kind to others, so he doesn't have too many opinions about Cao Hong. Perhaps, this is also the reason why Cao Cao arranged for Xiahoudun to cooperate with Cao Hong. Otherwise, the credit for winning the level will be replaced by other generals, and at least it will be shared equally with Cao Hong, unlike Xiahoudun, who will give all the credit to Cao Hong.

"General Yuan Rang has a reputation, this battle is the brave merit of General Yuan Rang, how dare Hong take credit. ”

In the face of Xiahoudun, Cao Hong did not dare to be too arrogant. Cao Hong was able to be valued by Cao Cao, and his family had a lot of money but was not targeted by Cao Cao, and his role as Cao Cao's brother was only a secondary reason. The more important reason is that he saved Cao Cao's life in Xingyang, and the life of the Savior was extraordinary; if Cao Hong had not saved Cao Cao's life, how could Cao Wei have hegemony? Therefore, when Cao Cao was alive, although Cao Hong's popularity was poor, no one had anyone to embarrass him. Even if Cao Pi took the opportunity to take revenge, he did it after Cao Cao's death. On the other hand, the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, they are also Cao Cao's brothers, but they did not save Cao Cao's life, but they are deeply valued by Cao Cao, and Cao Hong also thinks that he is inferior. That's because Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are very capable, in addition to their own strong force, the two of them are also familiar with military books, and their ability to lead troops into battle is also very strong. Among Cao Cao's brothers, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are also unmatched, so it is said that Cao Cao is valued.

"General Zilian, you and I don't need to be humble, how to take credit is up to the master. Now that the checkpoint has been taken, it is now in accordance with the strategy of the military division to notify the rear army to advance, and when it is tonight, it is the opportunity to take Peixian. ”

"What General Yuan Rang said is very true!"

Cao Cao's army of 50,000 soldiers and horses was divided into 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Hong and Xiahoudun each led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and set up an ambush to take the Ershi Mountain checkpoint. In addition, after sending 10,000 soldiers and horses to join the army, after taking the Ershi Mountain checkpoint, you can let Man Pet march and attack the south gate of Pei County at night with 10,000 soldiers and horses of Cao Hong and Xiahoudun. Cao Cao sat in the Chinese army and led 30,000 troops to feint from the north gate of Pei County.

Because he was convinced that the Ershi Mountain checkpoint would not be captured, Cao Bao brought all the 120,000 soldiers and horses from Xiapi City to defend at the north gate of Pei County. At the south gate of Pei County, there were only 10,000 original defenders of Pei County. In addition to being convinced that the Ershi Mountain checkpoint would not be lost, it was also because he was afraid of the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's army, so Cao Bao arranged all his soldiers and horses at the north gate. Now that the Ershi Mountain checkpoint has been lost, Cao Bao will definitely not know about it in a short time. Therefore, tonight is the best time to attack Pei County.

It's night

Before the time passed, Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers and horses to line up and looked at the head of Peixian with murderous awe. And Cao Bao, who was also called out of the bed by the soldiers of his cronies, stood at the head of the city, looking at Cao Cao's army under the city.

"Cao Apu, Lord Thorn Shi has already said it. Your father's death was not the fault of Lord Shi, but Zhang Min's unchanging nature and his intention to make money, so he killed your father. Now, because of your own selfishness, you have invaded our territory of Xuzhou for no reason and killed innocent people. ”

Cao Bao stood on top of the city, pointing at Cao Cao and scolding.

Of course, if he insulted Cao Cao face-to-face, Cao Bao didn't have the courage. Cao Cao's prestige has already been played, and the killing of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is terrifying, if it weren't for the problem of background, the leader of the Eighteenth Route Alliance may have been served by Cao Cao, not Yuan Shao, who came from a famous family.

"Tao Qian's old thief is a three-year-old child, if it were not for Tao Qian's old thief's instructions, how dare Zhang Min kill my father. If I don't take down the head of Tao Qian's old thief to pay tribute to my father's spirit in the sky, how can I Cao Cao rest!"

"Cao Agui, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add!"

Cao Bao roared angrily and shouted: "My Xuzhou soldiers are not slaughtered by others, since you want to raise a sword fight, my Xuzhou soldiers will also accompany you to the end, if you want to fight, you will fight!"

Cao Bao only felt that what he said was high-spirited and majestic. Of course, the reason why he has confidence is because he now has 120,000 soldiers and horses, plus he is still defending the city, even if Cao Cao has a prestige, what does he have to fear.

"Pass my military order, attack!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, and a team of soldiers and horses rushed out of the army formation, setting up a ladder to attack Peixian. The Great War has begun!(To be continued.) )
