"Thank you for your kindness, but please believe me."

"Three days later, the minister will definitely open the gate of Wancheng to greet Your Majesty."

With that, Cao Cao left with his army.

And all this is in the hands of Liu Xie.

"It seems that Cao Cao is bound to storm Wancheng."

Jia Xu said leisurely, it is not difficult for Cao Cao to capture Wancheng within three days, but the loss is definitely not small.

And what Liu Xie wants is to consume Cao Cao's strength.

Although Xiahoudun and Cao Ren lost 10,000 soldiers last night, they were actually nothing to Cao Cao.

The reason why it is not easy to tear up with Cao Cao now is that Cao Cao's military power is flourishing.

If he can weaken his strength, then his military strength will inevitably surpass Cao Cao, and he will be better able to control him at that time.

"Sent an order to Zhang Xiu, telling him to hold on for two days no matter what."

Liu Xie said to Jia Xu.

"I understand."

Jia Xu happily accepted the order and immediately wrote a secret letter to Zhang Xiu.

Holding on for two days is almost the limit for Zhang Xiu.

As for the third day, there was no need for this at all.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill !!"

After returning, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of troops to storm Wancheng.

Le Jin was resolute and resolute, storming the main gate, and Yu Ban, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan and other generals attacked the other three gates respectively.

The war lasted from morning to afternoon, and several times, Lejin was about to capture the city, but Zhang Xiu beat him back.

On the first day of the siege, Cao Cao was too fierce in the offensive, and the entire Wancheng had become a battlefield for grinding meat, and he paid 10,000 casualties on his side, and Zhang Xiu also paid for the lives of 8,000 soldiers.

Although there is not much difference in the number of casualties, Cao Cao's side is full of elite Qingzhou soldiers, plus the 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers who died last night, it is a big blow to Cao Cao.

"Lord, it's not a good strategy to fight like this."

In the evening, Cheng Yu persuaded that in fact, there are many ways to attack Wancheng, and this kind of fighting with life is really a loss.

"No way, we are the besieging party, and the casualties we pay will definitely be larger."

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Moreover, I promised Your Majesty that Wancheng must be captured within three days." ”

"Ugh."

Cheng Yu sighed helplessly, the appearance of His Majesty is undoubtedly the biggest variable.

If Wancheng cannot be captured within three days, then His Majesty is likely to personally lead troops to capture it.

At that time, even if Zhang Xiu surrenders, it will be impossible to take refuge on his side.

Now in addition to fighting for his life, Cheng Yu can't think of a better way.

The siege on the second day was no worse than the first.

Cao Cao felt the pressure of time and launched an even more fierce attack than yesterday.

At dusk, the general Le Jin finally took the lead in attacking the city tower, and the general Shi Jian was Cao Cao's guard before, and he was called Han Hao in the army.

Relying on bravery, Shi Jian succeeded Le Jin to continue to go deeper, and even beheaded Wang Quan, Zhou Qu, and Liu Zhao, but after all, he was alone in the depths, and when he met Hu Che'er, he was attacked and stabbed to death by a halberd.

At the city gate, after the siege vehicle dropped hundreds of corpses, it finally smashed open the city gate, and Cao Chun, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, two grandmasters, drove straight in with tigers and leopards.

But Zhang Xiu had already prepared and let the spearmen launch a rejecting horse formation, so that the tiger and leopard cavalry could not give full play to their advantages, and then Zhang Xiu led his generals to kill.

On Zhang Xiu's side, the generals Lei Xu and Zhang Xian were killed one after another.

And the situation on Cao Chun's side was even worse, the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and Cao Xiu, the general of the clan, was stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu.

The tiger and leopard cavalry offensive was difficult to launch, Cao Chun could only order the withdrawal of troops, and he personally broke the back, as a result, Zhang Xiu cut off an arm, fortunately Cao Zhen came back to save him, and only then did he pick up a life.

Due to the broken city gate, Zhang Xiu's situation was not optimistic, and he took more than 10,000 soldiers to fight a fierce battle with Cao Cao's army at the city gate.

The battle went straight to the night, and Zhang Xiu was wounded in many places, which finally forced Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

On this day, Zhang Xiu suffered more than 15,000 casualties, Cao Cao suffered more than 16,000 casualties, and the number of elite tigers and leopards was also reduced from 5,000 to 4,000.

And the haze of war continues.

"At most, tomorrow, we will be able to capture Wancheng."

In the military tent, Cao Cao was plotting with Cheng Yu and others, and under Zhang Xiu's command, there were at most 20,000 soldiers, and the city was damaged in many places, and they couldn't hold it at all.

"I just don't know whether to pay such a heavy price and get Wancheng to lose or gain."

Cheng Yu and the others sighed silently, the battle of Wancheng, nearly 40,000 casualties before and after, Xiahoudun and Cao Chun were deposed, and Dian Wei, Shi Lian, and Cao Xiu were killed one after another.

"If the soldiers are gone, they can be recruited again, and if they are gone, they can be cultivated again, but Wancheng must be in our hands."

Cao Cao replied resolutely, now that he has paid such a high price, there is no possibility of stopping.

Looking at the generals who hated the same enemy, Cao Cao stood up and said, "Let's prepare for tomorrow's battle." ”

Early in the morning of the third day, Cao Cao's army began to attack Wancheng, but by the time the besieging troops arrived at the city, almost everyone was dumbfounded.

"Jia, Jia Xu, why are you here?"

Looking at Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others on the city tower, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, Le Jin and other generals were all dumbfounded.

"Last night, Zhang Xiu sent a letter of surrender to His Majesty, Wancheng is already under the control of His Majesty, please go back and tell Prime Minister Cao Cheng that there is no need to attack the city anymore."

Jia Xu said with a smile, this is also part of the plan, on the third day, His Majesty led troops directly into the city, so that all Cao Cao's efforts came to naught.

"What?"

The generals were furious, they worked hard to fight, and the Son of Heaven actually came to pick peaches, is there such a shameless thing in the world?

Zhang Xiu surrendered to His Majesty, which was also something that everyone expected.

Could it be that His Majesty has colluded with Zhang Xiu from the beginning?

"Zixiao, what now?"

Yu Ban asked, Cao Ren is the general of the clan, the number two person in the army after Xiahou Dun, and he needs to make a decision at this time.

"Me!"

Cao Ren clenched his fists, and now that he had paid such heavy casualties, as a result, Wancheng still fell into the hands of His Majesty, and he wanted to give the order to attack the city very much.

"General Cao, are you still insisting on attacking the city?"

Jia Xu frowned and said, "Your Majesty is in the city, do you want to rebel openly?" ”

This reprimand made Cao Ren speechless, and in desperation, he had to retreat with his troops.

At this time, Cao Cao was resting in the main tent, and when he saw Cao Ren and the others coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back so soon, could it be that Wancheng was captured?" ”

"My lord, last night, Zhang Xiu surrendered to His Majesty."

"Wancheng has fallen into the hands of His Majesty."

Cao Ren said sadly.

"Ahh

Cao Cao screamed, and the headache turned over again at this time, only to see him roll his eyes and pass out.

"Lord!"

Cao Ren and the other generals hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Quick, pass on the military doctor!" ”
