However, the hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops who stayed in Xuchang City were not so lucky!

After hearing that there were "more than 100,000" troops outside the city who were killing them, the Yuan army besieging the inner city was suddenly panicked and had no intention of fighting again.

In addition, both lords issued orders to withdraw their troops.

Since then, the soldiers of Yuan Jun did not want to stay for a moment.

In an instant, the crowd rushed out of the city like a low tide.

However, the inside of the city was no better than the outside, and if they wanted to escape, they had to pass through the four narrow gates.

When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the Chinese army was already waiting outside the gate, blocking their way to survive.

In order to escape from this place as soon as possible, the soldiers of the Yuan army could only break through the siege.

However, due to the restrictions of the city gates, they could only rush out of a few dozen people at a time.

Outside, there were tens of thousands of people waiting for them, so the results of the breakout were not optimistic, and most of the soldiers failed to escape, either captured or killed, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

Seeing this scene, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also saw that this method was inappropriate, and they planned to stop the breakout.

But before they could speak, they suddenly heard another shout behind them.

Looking back, it turned out that it was Cao's army who had come out of the inner city and was rushing towards them quickly.

Although the number of the other party is small, for Yuan Jun, who has no intention of fighting, this undoubtedly adds a thick layer of haze to their hearts.

In order to survive, Yan Liang and Wen Chou had to give another order, ordering the soldiers to resist the pursuit while rushing out of the door with all their might.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out inside and outside the door at the same time!

Some died tragically under spears, others were turned into honeycombs by arrows, and others were trampled to death by their teammates......

The scene was extremely bloody, and in less than half an hour, the city gate was dyed red......

After more than two hours of bloody fighting, this "Xuchang counterattack" finally came to an end.

Of the 120,000 soldiers who entered the city, 60,000 were captured, 20,000 were killed, and only 30,000 barely escaped and returned to the camp.

On the Chinese side, due to the advantage of the terrain, they only had a total of 3,000 casualties, and most of them were wounded soldiers, and the number of dead was less than 100, which was definitely a gratifying victory.

……

At dusk that day, twenty miles north of Xutian, Dama Township.

Lu Pu, dressed in white, held a celadon tea bowl in his hand, and stood by the window for most of the hour, looking at the west with his eyes slightly anxious.

After standing for more than ten minutes, Lu Pu felt a little thirsty and took a sip of the tea bowl.

Only then did he realize that the tea in the bowl had already cooled, so he turned around and walked towards the stove room.

But after walking two steps, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from far and near behind his ears.

Hearing this, Lu Pu immediately trembled his eyebrows, put down the porcelain bowl and went out.

But when he walked outside the door, he found that the person on horseback was not William Yang, who he had been waiting for for a long time, but Xiao Lu, a spy who had been placed in Yuan Shao's camp before.

As soon as Xiao Lu got off the horse, he heard Lu Pu ask impatiently:

"Xiao Lu, why are you here? It's Wei ...... Oh no, did Lord Yang send you? ”

"Uh, no." Xiao Lu shook his head and replied: "My subordinates have something important to report to you, so I came by myself." ”

Hearing that it wasn't William who asked him to come, Lu Pu couldn't help frowning.

As early as a few days ago, Lu Pu sent William to Hongnong to inquire about Huaxing.

But six days have passed, and not only has William not returned, but not even a letter has been returned, which is really a bit abnormal.

So Lu Pu has been restless for the past two days, waiting for news by the window every day.

As a result, William didn't wait to come back, but ushered in Xiao Lu, who reported the news.

"Oh, didn't Lord Yang ask you to come?"

After sighing a little disappointedly, Lu Pu opened his mouth and asked:

"Tell me, what do you have to report? Is there anything changing on Yuan Shao's side? ”

"Lord Hui, it's not that Yuan Shao has changed, but the battle of Xuchang...... There has been a change. Xiao Lu replied cautiously.

As soon as he heard that there was a change in Xuchang, Lu Pu's expression immediately became a little serious: "What kind of change?" Come with me! ”

"Whoa! This morning, Yuan's army conquered the west gate of Xuchang. Then Cao's army was defeated, and Yuan's army would quickly pour into Xuchang......"

"What? Breaking the city so quickly? ”

After hearing the news, Lu Pu's face instantly showed a look of joy, and before Xiao Lu finished speaking, he had already laughed:

"Hahaha! Good, good, that's great! As long as Cao Cao is destroyed, I think who else can unify the Three Kingdoms! Hehe, what bullshit Oriental Dragon, you just wait for history to go backwards! ”

After laughing unscrupulously for more than ten seconds, Lu Pu gradually calmed down, and asked Xiao Lu for the second time:

"By the way, was Cao Cao arrested or killed? Where is he now? ”

"Hui, Hui, Hui, Cao Cao was neither killed nor arrested. He ...... at the moment Still in Xuchang City. Xiao Lu licked his lips with an embarrassed face.

"What? How is this possible? ”

After listening to Xiao Lu's reply, Lu Pu was full of doubts:

"The city gates are broken, hundreds of thousands of troops are pouring into the city, and they can't catch a single Cao Cao?"

"The city and the city gate are broken, but what I didn't expect is that just when Yuan's army attacked the inner city, a team of men and horses suddenly came outside the city!"

Hearing this, Lu Pu frowned on the spot, and his face became solemn again:

"Oh? Anyone dares to join in the fun? How many people came? ”

"Well, due to the urgency of the war, I don't know the exact number of small ones. But I heard from my fellow soldiers that there were about ...... soldiers and horses outside the city Ten thousands! Xiao Lu said uncertainly.

"What? Ten, ten tens of thousands? ”

Hearing this, Lu Pu's face instantly showed disbelief:

"Where are so many people? Whose centaur is it? ”

"This ...... I don't know if it's small. All I heard was that their military flag had the word 'Hua' written on it! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Pu seemed to be slapped on the head, staying in place and silent, his eyes full of incomprehension and doubt.

The main general surnamed Hua, Lu Pu thought about it, and there was only Huaxing in his mind.

But isn't Huaxing his "comrade-in-arms"?

Why did he come here to make trouble?

Also, where did these more than 100,000 troops come from?

Could it be that he really went to Hongnong to borrow troops?

But even so, Hongnong doesn't have so many soldiers for him?

Where did he get such a force?

What's more, what is the purpose of him suddenly leading troops to Xuchang now?

Won't it ...... You're here to spoil your own good deeds, right?

With these questions, Lu Pu fell into deep thought on the spot.

Although in the end, he couldn't come up with a definite answer, but he had already faintly sensed in his heart that this matter was absolutely extraordinary!
