Sunset, outside Xuchang City,

The soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of gold.

This battle lasted for a whole day, with gunsmoke filling, blood flowing everywhere, broken arms and stumps everywhere, and even a strong smell of blood in the air.

The night shrouds the camp,

A bonfire burns in an iron basin.

Many of the armor warriors were a little numb, and many of them were sobbing quietly, and their bodies were trembling.

Today, they saw the cruelty of the battlefield, the despair of their comrades before they died, they were a little afraid, they were a little homesick, they didn't want to continue fighting.

Of course, there are also some brave people who talk about how heroic they are and think about how to become generals.

Zhang Xiu walked around the camp with his saber in hand, comforting the group of young people who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and encouraging this group of warriors who had left their homeland.

For a long time, in the tent,

The generals gathered with their swords and waited for the lecture.

Zhang Xiu's eyes swept around, and his voice was a little heavy: "Everyone, our army has suffered heavy casualties in the siege today, I don't know if you have a good plan to help me break the city?" ”

The generals looked at each other, but bowed their heads and did not speak.

At this time, you can only rely on fighting hard to fight hard, and it can be said that it is unrealistic to use tricks to lure Xun Yu out.

"Lord, the high walls of Xuchang City are thick, and the losses from the assault are still high, so it is better to build a mound of earth walls, raise them high and shoot, and send people to dig tunnels and sneak into the city."

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wen Ping gestured.

"This plan can't be done, now that the news of our army coming to Xuchang has spread all over Yanyu, I'm afraid that Cao Cao is leading the army to come back, and General Cao, who is responsible for resisting Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, has already drawn troops to help Xuchang."

"I think that if there are three more days at most, if we can't capture Xuchang, our army should slowly retreat, plunder it, loot all the west of Yingchuan, and move young women and children to Nanyang, so it is a great good."

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to answer, Jia Xu hugged his fists and admonished.

Zhang Xiu nodded in approval, it is best to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, but if you can't, then you can't fall in love, otherwise Cao Cao's three armies will return to Xuchang, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave at that time.

"Wenhe, in three days, do you have a good plan to break the enemy?"

"Xuchang is the foundation of Cao Cao, no matter how much our army tempts the enemy, it will be useless, only a strong attack." Jia Xu shook his head, Xun Yu didn't dare to take risks at this time.

"Assault ......"

Zhang Xiu's five fingers clenched involuntarily.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the assault is a hell on earth, it is simply a blood meat grinder, where countless soldiers have fallen forever, and their desperate eyes before death are still vivid.

"Order the three armies, rest all night, and attack Xuchang in the coming day, if it is not broken or returned."

Zhang Xiu gritted his steel teeth and said fiercely.

"No!"

All the generals clenched their fists in unison, showing their will to die.

…………

dawn

Under the city of Xuchang.

Listening to the passionate war drums, looking at the banner that covered the sky, and looking at the majestic armor soldiers, it also made Cao Jun's morale fall and he was a little frightened.

A stone's throw away,

At this time, countless sacks were piled up in front of the three armies.

Countless soldiers rushed to each other, all holding dry firewood in their arms, and piled them up on the countless sacks in an orderly manner.

"Ling Jun, what is Zhang Xiu doing?"

Xiahoudun squinted his one-eyed, somewhat jealous in his heart.

Xun Yu pursed the corners of his mouth, shook his head slightly, and then said: "The three armies of the herald have cheered me up, the thieves will be tricky, I am afraid that there will be some tricks." ”

Xun Yu was also scared, but he couldn't do it.

Under the city,

Jia Xu was confused.

Why are these sacks so familiar?

This... Shouldn't this horse be the grain and grass of the three armies?

"Goo-toot!"

"Lord... Lord, what, let's burn this ......" Jia Xu swallowed his saliva, not quite sure.

Zhang Xiu did not answer, but stepped forward, his eyes were like torches, he glanced at the three armies, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, Xuchang is the foundation of Cao thieves, and now Cao Jun is shrinking into a corner and avoiding a fight." ”

"Only if you warriors take the lead can you break through the city."

"After the city is broken, all the gold and silver in the city will be taken."

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The morale of the three armies skyrocketed, and they all had red faces and red ears, and they were a little excited. Take all the gold and silver, you must know that there are countless families in Xuchang City, it can be said that as long as the city is broken, they will be rich and rich.

Zhang Xiu saw that the morale was available, and immediately pulled his sword and shouted: "Today, Xuchang will be taken, and it will not be broken or returned." In order to show the unity of our army, the special general took out all the food, broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and fought to the death. ”

As he spoke, the three sergeants spoke in unison.

"Fight to the death, don't break it, don't pay it back!"

"Fight to the death, don't break it, don't pay it back!"

"Good! If you can't attack Xuchang today, you will be killed. Zhang Xiuhao was dry, and the sword in his hand was inserted upside down, "Come on, light the fire." ”

When the words came out, all the soldiers were quiet, but the eyes were dead.

These words made their fear subside, and they were only full of enthusiasm.

Jia Xu lowered the corners of his mouth, and was shocked in his heart, the lord is a little ruthless? From ancient times to the present, have there been people who have taken the initiative to burn grain and grass to stimulate their fighting spirit?

Isn't that a fuss? Accidentally wiped out.

City Head,

The corners of Xun Yu's mouth also twitched vigorously.

Xu Chu pursed the corners of his mouth, stared at the cow-like eyes and said in shock: "Ling Jun, shouldn't Zhang Xiu really burn the grain and grass of the three armies?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said vigilantly: "Jia Xu is full of schemes, I'm afraid this is his trick again, don't be fooled." ”

Xu Chu, Xiahoudun and other generals nodded in agreement, they were somewhat shadowed.

Of course, if Jia Xu knew this, I am afraid that a mouthful of old blood would spurt out, and he would be wronged!

"Order the three armies to defend Xuchang." Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

At this point,

The flames frantically devoured the piles of grain and grass, and the three sergeants were fiery with cold faces.

Zhang Xiu pointed the spear in his hand and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order and kill !! ”

When the words fell, Wen hired Huang Zhong and other generals to drink together, and led their respective foot soldiers to rush up.

For a time, the momentum was huge.

Thousands of soldiers charged.

The archers desperately suppressed the defenders at the head of the city, relieving the pressure on the charging infantry. The frontal foot soldiers showed a fierce light on their faces, biting the blade in their mouths, and climbing with their hands and feet.

But Xuchang City is high,

Not to be outdone, the defenders of the city threw down the rolling wood and stones, and all those who were hit vomited blood and fell off the city, and then died with a whimper.

Fighting, shouting continuously, screaming and wailing countless people.

The blood once again stained the city of Xuchang red, and countless soldiers were completely buried here.

…………

"Quick, the enemy is rushing up, boiling oil, where is the boiling oil?"

"Lingjun, the western wall is in an emergency, and the enemy army is rushing up."

A sword stabbed to death the armor soldier who rushed up, Xun Yu glanced around in a trance, and there were not many soldiers available.

Moreover, the enemy army is not afraid of death, and Zhang Xiu personally supervises the battle, and the defense lines on the east, west and south sides are all in danger, I am afraid that at most an hour, Xuchang will be breached.

"Xiahou Yuan, you immediately bring a group of soldiers to reinforce the western wall, be sure to repel the enemy army, otherwise you will come to see you." Xun Yu ignored the blood on his cheek and shouted urgently.

"Cao Hong, you lead a hundred people, follow me into the city quickly." After Xun Yu finished speaking, he raised his sword and walked quickly.

He knew he couldn't go on like this.

Walking briskly on the stone road in the city, Xun Yu turned his head and shouted urgently: "Cao Hong, you quickly lead the army to gather the merchants of the families in the city." ”

"Gather them? Does Ling Jun want them to help defend the city? But this group of Haoshou horsemen have always been selfish, how can they help our army defend the city? Cao Hong followed quickly.

"Hmph, in the past, they may have been able to keep it, but today they have to keep it if they don't keep it, it's really not good, just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys." Xun Yu's eyes were gloomy, he had never recommended this.

But Cao Cao's welcome to the Son of Heaven is a major event, and the revival of the Han family is just around the corner, and he doesn't want to be defeated in the hands of the little Zhang Xiu.

"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys? But what if they unite to mutiny? Cao Hong said anxiously.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu is a puppet, and the lord will come to Xuchang in a few days, and there is the Son of Heaven with him, they are not fools, how dare they mutiny when they are so flattering?" Xun Yu disagreed.

If the attacker is Yuan Shao, then the family in the city does not need to force the mutiny and rebellion, but the opposite side is just a Zhang Xiu, although he is a hero, but he is not a member of the family.

"No, I'll do it at the end."
