Chapter 773: Capture Xiapi

Gao Shun led the broken camp to rush into the city gate.

The Xuzhou army in the city gate immediately stepped forward to resist.

Soldiers on both sides fought on a mess of stones and stakes, and at every moment someone fell.

In the already chaotic city gate cave, an unknown number of corpses were soon added.

Killing a Xuzhou soldier who was howling and rushing towards him, Gao Shun shouted: "Soldiers, take the city gate with me!" ”

The soldiers of the broken camp who poured into the city gate shouted, pushing forward with all their might.

While pushing the oncoming Xuzhou army with their shields, the weapons in their hands also greeted each other unresponsively.

Although it was in the narrow city gate hole, the soldiers of the broken camp still maintained the array.

The neat formation allows them to have an excellent strategy with each other.

Most of the weapons stabbed by the enemy were blocked by shields.

And the Xuzhou army that fought with them was chaotic and undisciplined.

In the face of the breaking camp with outstanding military discipline, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army fell on the chaotic battlefield one by one under their pushing.

There are not many people in the broken camp, and after rushing into the city gate, they keep moving forward, and they are about to rush into the city.

Cao Shuo, who was watching from afar, saw that the city gate was empty, and shouted to Cai Ji: "Blow the horn, the whole army will attack!" ”

The horn was leisurely, and the soldiers of the Cao army who were waiting for the battle poured like a tide towards the broken Xiapi city gate.

The arrows shot from the top of the city were like locusts in a plague of locusts.

The Cao army in the charge is not going to have someone hit an arrow and fall to the ground.

However, the range of arrows was limited after all, and the soldiers of Cao's army quickly rushed into the city gate with shields in hand.

They crossed the debris piled up in the hole in the city gate and pounced on the Xuzhou army, which was fighting with the broken camp.

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi saw Cao Jun rushing into the city gate, and both of them said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, please allow us to fight." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu also walked over quickly.

When he arrived at Cao Shuo, Lu Bu clenched his fists and said, "Please allow me to fight." ”

Glancing at Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, Cao Shuo said: "General Lu and Liu Xuande have an old feud, you two stay in the Chinese army and wait for dispatch, and give this credit to General Lu!" ”

Knowing that Liu Bei had harmed Lu Bu in Baimen Tower, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi would certainly not fight with him.

The two of them responded and stood beside Cao Shuo.

Lu Bu arched his hand to Cao Shuo and the others, carried Fang Tian's halberd, and strode down to the Picheng Gate.

Cao's army, which had entered the city, had already begun to rush to the city walls.

The Xuzhou army at the head of the city ran to the stairs to meet the battle, and only a small number of them were still shooting arrows under the city.

Seeing Lu Bu rushing over, Zhang Fei shouted: "All archers, shoot Lu Bu!" ”

Lu Bu once occupied Xuzhou, and his reputation was heard of by the Xuzhou army.

Hearing that he was coming, none of the Xuzhou soldiers dared to slack off, and they all opened their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at him.

While rushing forward, Lu Bu brandished Fang Tian's halberd and fired the oncoming arrows.

Seeing that he was about to rush to the city, Zhang Fei snatched the longbow from a soldier and shot an arrow at him.

As he rushed forward, Lu Bu kept an eye out for the arrows shot from the city.

The arrow shot by Zhang Fei was grabbed by him, and he shouted angrily: "Ring-eyed thief, I am in a hurry to find Liu Xuande, I will spare you today!" ”

Seeing Lu Bu rushing into the city gate, Zhang Fei was worried about Liu Bei, and the stairs leading to the city wall were crowded with soldiers from both sides who were fighting.

There was no other way to go, so he jumped off the city wall, walked through the melee battlefield, and rushed towards the city after Lu Bu.

The city gate was breached, and Liu Bei, who got the news, fled from the official mansion with Mi Zhu in a panic.

As soon as he ran down the street, he heard a loud shout: "Big-eared thief, where to go!" ”

Following the prestige, Liu Bei saw Lu Bu carrying Fang Tian's halberd to kill.

His legs were so weak that he almost didn't fall off his horse.

Mi Zhu hurriedly supported him and shouted to the more than ten guards who followed behind: "Don't hurry up, stop Lu Bu!" ”

The guards shouted, and rushed towards Lu Bu.

He only wanted to kill Liu Bei, how could Lu Bu have the heart to entangle with them.

Seeing that the guards were about to rush to him, Lu Bu burst into a shout, drew a halberd, and actually swept over several of the guards who rushed up.

The remaining guards saw that he was brave, and where did they dare to step forward, trembling with their weapons in their hands, retreating or advancing.

Lu Bu didn't bother to pay attention to them, and rushed towards Liu Bei.

"Uncle Huang, go away!" Liu Bei was already frightened and sifted through the chaff, Mi Zhu shouted and kicked his horse's buttocks.

The war horse was in pain and took Liu Bei to run wildly, while Mi Zhu followed closely behind him and ran towards the city gate on the other side.

How can two legs run more than four hooves?

Lu Bu chased for dozens of steps, and could only watch Liu Bei escape.

Zhang Fei, who caught up, was finally relieved to see Liu Bei fleeing.

The gates had been breached, and he had no use for staying here except to die.

snatched a war horse from a Cao army, Zhang Fei stepped on horseback, and also ran towards the city gate that had not yet been broken by Cao Jun.

The battle in the city continues.

As more Cao troops entered Xiapi, there were fewer and fewer Xuzhou troops resisting.

Later, even when the Xuzhou army saw the figure of Cao Jun, the two sides had not yet fought, so they threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Listening to the shouts and killings coming from Xiapi City, Cao Shuo waited for the battle report from the city.

A lieutenant rode out of the city.

Coming to Cao Shuo, he clenched his fists and said, "Qiyu Gongzi, Xiapi has been taken." ”

"Did you capture Liu Bei?" Cao Shuo asked.

The captain lowered his head and said, "General Lu failed to catch up with Liu Bei and let him run away!" ”

"When it comes to escaping, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can compare to Liu Bei." Cao Shuo said to Sima Yi and the others: "Let's not stand here either, it's time to take over Xuzhou." ”

The crowd followed him and walked down Picheng.

At the head of the city, the banner of the Xuzhou army was put down and replaced with the battle flag of the Cao army.

When Cao Shuo entered the city, the soldiers cheered loudly, and their morale was even higher than when they were fighting.

"The soldiers are not allowed to kill, to rob, or to forcibly insult a woman against her will." Cao Shuo shouted: "Others, you are free!" ”

"Childe is mighty!" As soon as Cao Shuo's words fell, the soldiers who heard him shouted again.

As he was walking towards the Pi Guanfu, Cao Shuo saw Lu Bu standing on the street with Fang Tian's halberd and was stunned.

"General Lu!" Cao Shuo shouted.

Hearing the shout, Lu Bu turned his head and saw that it was Cao Shuo coming, he clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Son, forgive me, I let Liu Bei run away!" ”

"Run, run." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "Anyway, there is still a chance to kill him." ”

"But I always feel unwilling." Lu Bu said annoyedly.

"General Lu rest assured." Cao Shuo said: "As long as you capture Liu Xuande, I will let you kill him by yourself!" ”

"Thank you first!" Although he was still unwilling in his heart, Lu Bu didn't want to say anything more, and arched his hand to Cao Shuo.
