With the increase of Xu Shu's soldiers and horses, coupled with Xu Shu's orders, the battle above the city is about to show a one-sided trend.

Half of the city walls to the south and west were already occupied, and Cao's army desperately wanted to capture the city walls but to no avail, because their soldiers and horses were already overstretched, and in another hour or two, I was afraid that Caicheng would be breached.

The soldiers and horses attacking the city are under the command of Bao Rong, although Bao Rong's force is only second-rate, but this person also knows how to fight and horses, and the soldiers and horses in his hands show a wave trend, surging towards the city wall in waves.

Give Caicheng's defenders an illusion, that is, they can take the city wall back, so they can't stop filling it with soldiers and horses, and Bao Rong's people are killing and injuring Cao's already small living force in this way.

Seeing that Cai Cheng was about to be captured.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Suddenly there was a terrifying shout of killing above the city, and a force joined the defenders of the city, surging towards the city like a tide.

The Huainan army was caught off guard for a while, and was driven out of most of the city wall.

"Strategist, isn't this Cao army only more than a thousand people? It looks like it's more than that! Bao Rong on the side asked Xu Shu.

"More than a thousand centaurs! That's just Cao Cao's soldiers and horses! "Boss Cao distributed most of the soldiers and horses in two places, one is the place where it connects with Hebei, and the other is now gathered in Huainan.

Even Xu Shu didn't expect Yanzhou's resistance to be so great.

"Military advisor, there are even the people of Yanzhou above the city! I just caught one of my subordinates and asked him why he wanted to go up the city wall, and he said that he was afraid that our Huainan army would slaughter the city. His grandmother's. We are not a thief army, how can we slaughter the city?! ”

"Huh!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly, the reason why these people of Yanzhou appeared above the city is related to the reputation of the Huainan Army, since the old lord Yuan Shu, the reputation of the Huainan Army has been stinking.

Yuan Shu called the emperor, that really swept Huainan three feet, even those coffin boards were not spared, and the taxes collected were received thirty years later.

This Caicheng is close to Yuzhou, and many people have fled from Huainan.

They are afraid to go back to the old days.

"Pass on my military order, as long as it is on the city wall, it is the enemy, regardless of men, women, children, old and weak, women and children, all will be killed!" Xu Shu said with a cold face.

Bao Rong and the others looked at Xu Shu, a white-faced scholar, but they didn't expect this white-faced scholar to be ruthless than anyone else.

Immediately, everyone nodded, they still had reservations just now, after all, there were people above the city, and they couldn't show it, and now listening to Xu Shu's words, they can let go one by one.

"Didn't the prime minister say that this Yuan Yao'er's Huainan Army was just bluffing?" As the defender of Caicheng, Cao Chengdu was about to cry, he, Cao and Cao Cao's Cao were not the same Cao, otherwise he would not have been sent to Caicheng.

The order sent by Cao Cao was to let Cao Cheng guard Caicheng, and also told Cao Cheng not to panic, the Huainan army was just bluffing.

Cao Cheng made up his mind at this time, defending the city, but looking at the dense enemies under the city wall, where is this bluff, this is completely like he Cao Cheng killed his Huainan Army father, and the revenge of killing his father does not need to be fought like this.

Cao Cheng is Cao Ren's general, and the soldiers and horses under him are also selected from the Qingzhou army, experienced in a hundred battles, and stayed in Caicheng not because their combat effectiveness is weak, but because they are already old. But these are all veterans.

It is precisely because of this that although Xu Shu has an absolute advantage, under the first siege, he was unable to take Caicheng in one go, and now with the help of the private soldiers of the scholars and the people in the city over there, Cao Cao's army has blocked the offensive of Xu Shu's army, so that Xu Shu has not been able to occupy Caicheng.

It's a pity that Cao Cheng himself knows that this is only a matter of time.

Now Cao Cheng is thinking about being able to delay until Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive.

"Wait for dark, send a letter to General Cao Ren with me, and ask General Cao Ren to send reinforcements as soon as possible, this is the main force of the Huainan Army, not a bluff!" Cao Cheng wiped the blood from his body and said with a pant.

"Yes!"

"Let's hope it's in time!" Cao Cheng could only pray in his heart, he looked at the appearance of the Huainan army below, they came in waves, all the way to the siege of the city, looking at this look, Cao Cheng understood that these Huainan troops were actually training with Caicheng!

Cao Cheng's teeth were about to be crushed, he thought he was an opponent, but who knew that he was just a sparring partner, this feeling was really uncomfortable.

The sky is gradually getting dark, and Cai Cheng over there is still safely there.

It's getting dark, and it's hard to continue. Xu Shu frowned, he wanted to take Cai Cheng first, as the first victory to boost morale, if a small city with a thousand defenders would have to fight for several days, how could he face the main force of the Cao army.

"General Bao Rong, let your soldiers and horses retreat, General Gao Shun, it's up to you next!" Xu Shu needed this first victory, so he was ready to replace Bao Rong's soldiers and horses for Gao Shun's.

Gao Shun's men fell into the camp, this time they were brought over by Xu Shu, and several cavalry units of the main force of the Huainan Army entered Xuzhou, Xu Shu must have a hole card here, and the trapping camp is the hole card.

Gao Shun nodded, didn't say much, and prepared to leave the camp and set up his soldiers and horses to attack the city.

But he was stopped by a person.

Gao Shun raised his head and looked at the person who came, it was Bao Rong "Get out of the way!" Gao Shun just said in such a flat tone, as if he didn't want to say a word more.

"Strategist, I ask the strategist not to change troops and horses, my Bao Rong will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the strategist!" Bao Rong looked at Xu Shu pleadingly.

Bao Rong's soldiers and horses that had been him before were about to be harvested, but they let the trapped camp come, which made Bao Rong go back and face his men.

"I have to spend the night in Cai City tonight, do you understand?" Xu Shu reminded Bao Rong.

Bao Rong gritted her teeth, "Strategist, if you can trust Bao, Bao is willing to make a military order, and you will definitely take Caicheng at sunset tonight!" ”

"Military orders?" Xu Shu frowned, "General Bao, do you know the importance of the military order?" I'm bound to win the first victory! Xu Shu reminded Bao Rong that this could be regarded as giving Bao Rong a step down.

Bao Rong is iron-hearted, "Military advisor, if you can't take Cai Cheng, Bao is willing to come to see him." ”

Xu Shu glanced at Bao Rong, and then looked at Gao Shun over there, "What does General Gao Shun think?" "Bao Rong wants to continue the siege, but Xu Shu has already taught Gao Shun the task, and he also needs to take care of Gao Shun's opinion.

"Morale is available!" Gao Shun glanced at Bao Rong and said.

Although Gao Shun didn't say much, everyone still understood what he meant. Bao Rong couldn't help but look at Gao Shun with gratitude. If Gao Shun doesn't agree, he Bao Rong can't do anything.

"Good!" Xu Shu nodded, seeing that the morale of Bao Rong's army was in full swing, and without saying much, he immediately agreed with Bao Rong's meaning, and asked Bao Rong to take his soldiers and horses to forcibly attack the city, and there was still an hour and a half before sunset.

In order to solemnly set up a military order for Bao Rong, Xu Shu even put on his armor, walked out of the camp tent, and walked to the war drums over there.

"General Bao Rong, I beat the drum for the general, and I wish the general a triumphant return!"

"Thank you, Master Commander, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Commander!" Bao Rong was also very moved, and immediately turned around and left.

"Knock knock!" The sound of war drums began to beat again.

Only this time the drums beat louder.

Some of them found out, and some of them were told by Bao Rong and others, and they all knew that the person who was beating the drum for them now was either someone else or their commander, and their military advisor was all moved.

This is risking, and now that even the military advisor is with them in the face of difficulties and dangers, what else do they have to say.

"Take Caicheng, spend the night in Caicheng tonight, kill, kill, kill!" Bao Rong even personally led his soldiers and horses to the head of the city, and with the help of a subordinate guard, he went up the ladder and climbed the city wall.

"Crazy, crazy, all crazy!" The defenders of the Cao army above the city felt that the current Huainan army was not of the same level as the one they encountered just now.

Now they are like chickens.

"General, look over there!" Cao Cheng's adjutant general pointed to the Huainan Army camp over there and shouted.

Cao Cheng is a military general, his eyesight is naturally not bad, and at a glance, he saw a white-robed man beating a war drum over there.

Surrounded by a group of generals on the side, he must be an important figure in the Huainan Army.

"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi!" Cao Cheng naturally knew who it was, because Xu Shu had persuaded him to surrender.

Cao Cheng smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi to personally beat the drum to supervise the battle, no wonder these soldiers of the Huainan Army seemed to be crazy.

This Cai Cheng will definitely not be able to hold it.

Thinking of this, Cao Cheng directly and solemnly spoke to his lieutenant general, "Sun Yu, you immediately take my personal guard battalion to the east gate and leave, let General Cao Ren immediately send troops to garrison, and tell General Cao Ren that this is not a bluff of the Huainan Army, but the main force of the real Huainan Army." ”

If it weren't for Cao Cao, who was bluffing, Cao Cheng would have wanted to strangle that person.

Aren't you harmful?

"What about you, General?" Sun Yu was stunned for a moment, the guard battalion is the last unit, and even this last unit has been taught to him, what should Cao Cheng do?

"Me?" Cao Cheng pointed at himself and smiled bitterly twice: "I can't go!" I am under the command of General Cao Ren, when General Cao Ren handed over Caicheng's personal guards to me, I also once told the general, the city is in the people, and the city is dead! "Cao Cheng is Cao Ren's subordinate and Cao Ren recommended him to Cao Cao, so he can't lose Cao Ren's face.

"But!"

"It's nothing, as long as you deliver the news, you're worthy of me!" Cao Cheng interrupted Sun Yu's words, over there Bao Rong had already climbed the city wall, the war knife in his hand had begun to drink blood, and when he reached the top of the city, Bao Rong found Cao Cheng's traces.

"Come with me!" Bao Rong's face showed joy, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you take down this Cai Cheng's guard first, Cai Cheng will naturally be unfair and broken.

"It's too late, let's go, I'll stop it here!" Cao Cheng also saw Bao Rong, and immediately raised his spear, "All the soldiers follow me to kill the enemy!" The thief takes his life! ”
