Cao Cao nodded solemnly, once the city gate was opened for Mao Hui and the Xuzhou army entered the city, the Cao army would inevitably break out into war with the Xuzhou army.

Without the city as a support, the momentum of the Xuzhou army will be able to stop the Yanzhou army.

In the previous confrontation, the Yanzhou army was at a disadvantage, and in the face of the Xuzhou army's war, they had to avoid the battle, and when they encountered the attack of the Xuzhou army, how much combat effectiveness could they display.

"In any case, our army must hold on to Gaoping successfully, and once we retreat from Gaoping, the consequences are unpredictable." Cao Cao said.

&; Cheng Yu reminded, "The lord should send an order to the defenders of Changyi to strengthen the defense, so as not to take the opportunity for the Xuzhou army to raid." ”

Cao Cao nodded, Changyi is his foundation, as long as the army is in Gaoping, the Xuzhou army will not dare to go to Changyi easily, if so, it is equivalent to exposing his back in front of Cao Jun.

The situation in the west of the city exceeded Cao Cao's expectations, Mao Hui was able to mobilize more than 1,000 soldiers in the Yanzhou army, and the attack of this force was completely beyond the ability of the defenders in the west of the city to stop.

This is internal chaos, and the defenders in the west of the city will inevitably hesitate when they make a move.

The closed city gate slowly opened, and Cao Xing took the lead in the city, and behind Cao Xing, there were rolling iron hooves.

Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and as soon as he killed, he encountered the wolf-like horse riding battalion.

Whether in terms of quantity or equipment, the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion is not something that today's tiger and leopard cavalry can stop.

Mao Hui shouted, "The general Mao Hui has taken refuge in Wenhou, and you will follow the general to kill the army and capture Cao Cao alive." ”

In the Yanzhou Army, Mao Hui himself is famous, as Lu Bu's reputation grows bigger and bigger, Mao Hui's reputation as a general who led soldiers and horses against Lu Bu's army in the past, his reputation has gradually spread, even if it is not a good reputation, he is also the No. 1 general in the army.

The momentum of the cavalry made Cao Jun tremble, and some Cao soldiers took the initiative to move closer to Mao Hui.

Seeing this scene, Mao Hui was overjoyed, this was a good time for him to make contributions, with Cao Cao's head, and when he arrived under Lu Bu's account, he would get more benefits.

After Cao Xing led a thousand cavalry into the city, the Xuzhou army entered from the west of the city, and they wanted to completely defeat the Cao army in this confrontation, so that the Cao army became a lost dog.

The Xuzhou sergeants took over the west of the city without bloodshed, and after the army entered the city, they followed Lu Bu's instructions to kill the city.

After Mao Hui rebelled and the news that the Xuzhou army had entered the city, the officers and men of the army panicked, they had seen the strength of the Xuzhou army in the battle, and if it was possible, they did not want to confront the Xuzhou army head-on.

Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and only lasted for half an hour, and then withdrew from the west of the city, and the cavalry of the Xuzhou army was more and more, which was no longer something that the tiger and leopard cavalry could fight.

The Cao army, which received the order, came towards the west of the city, but after encountering the cavalry led by Cao Xing, their reactions were mixed, and most of the soldiers who dared to follow the general's order to charge forward were the soldiers of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, who were known for their madness in battle.

But the madness of the Qingzhou army, in front of the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion, seemed so fragile, their resistance in exchange for more killing, the Cao army formation, for the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion in a brutal way to run away, resistance, in front of the Xiao cavalry battalion lost its due effect.

The battle was fierce, and the soldiers of the Cao army struggled to support it.

"Ambition to fall into battle!"

"There is death and no life!"

The neat shouts of the soldiers of the trapped camp resounded in the sky above the city, and many Cao soldiers looked a little unnatural after hearing the name of the trapped camp, and quietly walked towards the edge of the team.

Cavalry has a mortal threat to the foot soldiers, and the same is true for the trapped camp, no matter how elite the foot soldiers are, it is difficult to break through the defense of the trapped camp, which is an elite army that can block even the attack of the cavalry.

The equipment trapped in the camp is eye-catching, and the combat effectiveness is terrifying.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, the Xuzhou army has captured the west city gate, and the cavalry has entered the city."

"My lord, our cavalry is difficult to stop the enemy army, and it has been defeated."

"Report, the Xuzhou cavalry went straight to the Chinese army to kill."

"Report, Mao Hui led more than 1,000 people and is attacking the place where grain and grass are hoarded."

The news kept coming, so that Cao Cao's face was slightly pale, in Yanzhou, he paid a lot of effort, originally thought that with his ability, he could defeat the Xuzhou army and keep Yanzhou, but he didn't want to come to the point where it is now, after the Xuzhou army entered the city, the Yanzhou army would be the opponent of the Xuzhou army in panic.

In fact, the moment the Xuzhou army entered the city, the result was already doomed, but Cao Cao did not give up.

The Yanzhou army had suffered too many losses in the Xuzhou army, so that when they faced the Xuzhou army, they couldn't even mention the most basic battle spirit.

It is undeniable that the Xuzhou Army commanded by Lu Bu is too terrifying.

A fierce general can drive the momentum of an army, and a peerless fierce general like Lu Bu can imagine the destructive power brought by charging on the battlefield.

"My lord, why don't you order the army to retreat." Cheng Yu persuaded in a low voice.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Where to retreat?" Gaoping lost our army and suffered heavy losses, even after the official returned to Changyi, how many people would be willing to obey the official's orders. ”

"The lord doesn't have to be discouraged, there are not a few wealthy families in Changyi City, many of them have private soldiers, organize these forces, plus the capture of the Qingzhou army, it is not without the power to fight against the Xuzhou army, and Yuan Shu will not sit idly by and watch Lu Bu seize Changyi." Cheng Yu said.

After a long silence, Cao Cao nodded helplessly, when he pursued Dong Zhuo in the past, he was defeated in the hands of Lu Bu, and the generals under his command suffered a lot of losses.

This made Cao Cao have a feeling of fate, three failures, even if there is a figure of Lu Bu, such a thing is put on other people's bodies, I am afraid that when I see Lu Bu, I will be afraid, Cao Cao will not, he has a firm belief that he wants to become a famous minister of Zhongxing Han, and any enemy who blocks it will be eliminated by him.

Cao Cao even doubted that Lu Bu was his nemesis.

The situation in Gaoping City is critical, and on Lu Bu's side, there must be strategists to help, if the Xuzhou army takes advantage of the situation to seize Changyi, the situation of the Cao army is even worse.

"Tell the army, retreat!" After saying this, Cao Cao's whole person was slightly depressed, and if he lost in the battle of the princes, what kind of fate would be, Cao Cao was clear.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao issued a second order: "Burn all the grain and grass in the city." ”
