"Oh?" The sudden news made Cao Jun's big tent quiet for a while, and then, Cao Cao was suspicious, and immediately said: "Quickly submit the secret letter!" ”

"No!" In response, I saw that the military waiter even took out a bloodstained letter and presented it respectfully, without Cao Cao's own hands, the general Cao Ren had already taken the letter and handed it to Cao Cao to read in person.

"Hmm." After reading the secret letter in his hand, Cao Cao couldn't help but squint his eyes, but there was no expression on his face, and after a long groan, he said to the soldier: "And the spy?" Bring him with you! I have something to ask him! After that, he directly handed the letter in his hand to Cheng Yu next to him, and the meaning of the moment was fully revealed.

Cheng Yu took the letter in his hand, and immediately checked it, and then, his face showed a little joy, it turned out that what was written on this letter was the news about the princes and ministers in Chang'an City that everyone had discussed before!

Obviously, those princes and ministers in the city have already received the news that Cao Cao led the troops to attack Chang'an, so they specially sent people to inform them this time, hoping to cooperate with the inside and outside, break through Chang'an, and rescue the Son of Heaven!

After reading the letter in his hand, Cheng Yu was inevitably excited, and after transferring the letter to other generals for review, he immediately smiled and said: "Lord, it seems that this time we have hope of breaking the city!" ”

Cao Cao said indifferently: "Whether it is really expected to break the city, you still need to see that person to know." ”

It didn't take long for the two soldiers to escort a bound soldier into the big tent, and as soon as the soldier came in, he saw Cao Cao and the others in the tent, and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone! The villain was ordered by Lord Taiwei Yang to go out of the city to find a few adults! ”

"Shut up!" Cao Cao frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and immediately drank the soldier. Then he asked in a deep voice: "To be honest, who are you?" What is the intention of escaping out of the city and blending into our army? If you dare to deceive, be careful of your head! ”

The soldier was so frightened that he couldn't help but shiver for it, and glanced at Cao Cao with a fearful face, and then responded tremblingly: "Big ...... My lord. The villain is the general of the Taiwei Yang Mansion, and this time he was ordered by Lord Yang to sneak out of the city. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, but he stared at the soldier's expression, Cheng Yu and the others just wanted to say something, but they waved to Cao Cao to stop him, he smiled and asked: "The stakes are very high, you said that you were sent by Lord Yang Biao, the Tai Lieutenant?" What's the evidence? ”

"Yes! Yes! Naturally, there is! Seeing that Cao Cao's dignity was too great, the soldier hurriedly said: "The villain brought Lord Yang's handwritten letter. It's been handed over to the adult, if the adult still doesn't believe it, the villain has Lord Yang's private seal on his chest! The general can be used to verify it! Then the soldier held his chest up, and when the people saw that his chest was bulging, they realized that there was something hidden in it.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and his own guards stepped forward to untie the rope for the soldier. And from the soldier's bosom took out the private seal, a little identification. can be believed that it is indeed the private seal of Yang Biao, the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty.

It was only at this time that Cao Cao finally showed a complete smile on his face, and said, "Say, Lord Yang sent you out of the city, but what do you want to tell us?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "Go back to your lordship." My lord has united many ministers loyal to the Han dynasty in the court and prepared to launch an attack tomorrow evening, when my lord will send someone to open the city gate and use the torch as a signal. Welcome the righteous army of adults into the city and kill Dong Thief's henchmen together! ”

At the same time as the turmoil inside and outside Chang'an City, Youzhou, Daijun, and Gaoliu City, at this moment, have completely fallen into a panic, and countless Gaoliu soldiers gathered in a panic at the head of the city, condescending, looking at the enemy troops in the distance who began to arrange troops in an orderly manner.

As a county governor, Gaoliu's county soldiers should not be so unbearable, in the past, even in the face of the plundering of the Hu people outside the Saiwai, they have never been afraid, as the frontline city of the Hu people going south, the county soldiers of Gaoliu City are also elite troops who have been baptized in blood, but at this moment, they are really panicked, because the enemy they are facing is too strong and their reputation is too great.

The Taiping Army, which swept through most of the Han Dynasty, finally marched into Youzhou, or rather, the Han Dynasty is about to cease to exist, because the land that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty in the world has basically been occupied by the Taiping Army.

In the face of the grassland Hu Qi, in order to protect the family and defend the country, and for the glory of the Han army, they can put life and death out of the way, even if they die in battle, they will not hesitate, but at this moment, they have to face the Han army, even if the Taiping army does not belong to the Han Dynasty, but it is also the name of China, so this time, it belongs to the civil war, invisibly, before the war, it has already lost three points of sharpness.

On the tower of the city, Gongsun Xu, the general of the acting county, led a group of soldiers to stand at the head of the city, looking at the rigorous and powerful military formation of the Taiping Army in the distance, and his face was full of contemplation.

The Taiping army swept the world, as we all know, Xiao Lan's fierce generals are like clouds, not to mention Huang Zhong, who can compete with Lu Bu head-on, is Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Gao Lan, Chen Zhi, Zhou Tai and others, all of whom are first-class brave generals in the world, and their strength is extraordinary.

Chen Zhi and Xu Chu, who came to attack Daijun this time, are all rare fierce generals in the world, although Gongsun Xu asked himself that he could be regarded as a first-class general, but for Chen Zhi and Xu Chu, he really had no chance of winning.

"General, the enemy has moved, they have begun to attack the city!" Beside Gongsun Xu, several soldiers couldn't help but scream when they saw the movement of the military camp opposite.

"Woo-woo-woo-" The heavy sound of the horn constantly echoed on the battlefield, but all the soldiers who were familiar with the battlefield understood that this was the signal of the upcoming launch.

Immediately, the war drums thundered, and I saw tens of thousands of Taiping troops pushing siege equipment and constantly approaching, and soon, they were about to enter the boundaries of siege defense.

Gongsun Xu suddenly raised his mind, and immediately shouted to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, we are all the border army of the Han Dynasty, it is our duty to guard the Han Dynasty, now, the Taiping anti-thief invasion is imminent, we must be psychologically prepared to repel the thief army at all costs!" ”

"No!" The soldiers defending the city were by no means ordinary soldiers, they were the real elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and with the shouting and calling of Gongsun Xu, they immediately broke out with high fighting spirit, and when the Taiping army entered the attack line, they would obey the general's order and launch their most fierce attack.

However, at the moment when they were about to enter the attack line, the Taiping army suddenly stopped attacking, and immediately, one catapult after another was pushed up.

That's right, it's the catapult, to be precise, the improved long-range catapult, which is the most terrible war machine in this era without gunpowder.

"Put!" With Chen Zhi's order, dozens of remote trebuchets were launched in unison, and dozens of huge stones were thrown out in unison, like a rain of flying locusts, heading straight for the head of Gaoliu City.

In the face of this terrible scene, the defenders at the head of the city couldn't help but be shocked, they used to face the grassland Hu cavalry, where have they ever seen such a siege weapon, huge stones smashed on the city, and the city wall shook suddenly, and the defenders who couldn't dodge it, if they were not careful, they would be stoned to death on the spot.

Seeing this scene happening, Gongsun Xu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but he knew in his heart that this was probably just the first wave of attacks by the Taiping Army, if he couldn't even hold on to this, this Gaoliu City, I was afraid that it would not be able to hold it no matter what.

Sure enough, his idea was right, with Chen Zhi's shouting order, dozens of long-range trebuchets of the Taiping Army launched attacks one after another, and the boulders continued to fall on the city, and the smashed city walls shook, and the people who smashed were frightened, and for a while, it opened the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle of Gaoliu City............
