After three consecutive days of observation, Cao Cao learned from the spies that the guards here were only thousands of elite soldiers left by Yuan Shu. However, Liu Zhang left a lot of food here, and Cao Cao was quite happy after learning the news. To be honest, Cao Cao didn't have much food at all, and this attack on Liu Zhang was also gritted his teeth and squeezed out a little. But if he didn't attack Liu Zhang, it would really make Cao Cao sleep, and he was afraid that when he attacked Yuan Shao, his south would be completely occupied by Liu Zhang. At that time, the eight directions came to attack, how could he Cao Cao resist?

Chen Lan and Lei Bo are honestly doing well here, although they have just taken refuge in Liu Zhang, but this treatment is really not bad. Liu Zhang gave them enough benefits during the Chinese New Year, even if they had just taken refuge, which was really 10,000 times better than Yuan Shu.

"The other party is Cao Jun, there are about seventy or eighty thousand soldiers, and there are less than ten thousand soldiers in our city." Chen Lan's face was very ugly, he didn't expect Cao Cao to come and attack here.

Lei Bo also said with a gloomy face: "Cao Cao came so quickly, we can't hold Shou County at all with so many soldiers." Now we should hurry up and inform the lord, and then we will retreat to the Lujiang River. When the time comes, unite Ji Ling and Li Feng, maybe there will be a battle, and you can also hold on to the reinforcements of the lord. "Whether Liu Zhang is good to them or not, there is no need to say this. Even if they had just surrendered, even if they had bad behavior before, Liu Zhang accepted them. Now they are in charge of a county, and in general, Liu Zhang is much better than Yuan Shu and others, after all, the action faction is the most popular to buy people's hearts.

Chen Lan stared for a moment, looked at Cao Jun and said, "We must hold on for a day to give Cao Jun an illusion." When the time comes, it will also give us a chance to evacuate, and the lord has repeatedly explained before that we must preserve our strength. For only one day, we all took advantage of the night to go to the Lujiang River. Chen Lan felt that she couldn't stop guarding, otherwise Cao Jun knew that they were too weak, and he would definitely chase after them quickly. In this way, once an encounter is fought in the field, it is bound to be defeated. Therefore, on the first day of defending the city, it must be strong, and it must not be seen by Cao Jun.

After the two of them discussed, they immediately called on the captains at all levels to bring all the materials in the city, since they were defending the city, they would kill and injure a large number of enemy forces. Although Cao Cao in the distance didn't know what the two of them thought, how long did they think that a small town in Shou County could hold on?

The city will inevitably be broken within three or four days, and even if there are reinforcements, Cao Cao is not false at all. After all, this place is far away from Yuzhang, and when I rushed over from there, this place had already been occupied by myself. Looking at the busy soldiers on the city wall, Cao Cao directly commanded the soldiers to start the siege.

On the first day, Cao Cao didn't think about taking it, but the soldiers kept rushing up, watching the other soldiers lose their lives. It was only half a day's work, and the soldiers who rushed over were almost dead. This made Cao Cao very angry, and more than 10,000 people dared to do this? Since this is the case, Cao Cao ordered: "Attack with all your might, and when the city is broken, you must kill Chen Lan and Lei Bo." "It's just such a short period of time, so Cao ** went to more than 1,000 people, and those people are determined to defend the city.

"The defensive posture in the main city is very resolute, huh? If this continues, I am afraid that if our army does not storm violently, it will definitely not be able to take it for three or four days. Xun Yu's heart was a little confused, how could a small city of more than 1,000 people have such a resolute appearance?

Cao Cao looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Hong asked the soldiers to storm and take Shou County within three days." "Cao Cao definitely doesn't want to delay, if Liu Zhang's army arrives, how can he resist it?

Cao Hong took the order and left, and the soldiers below rushed forward again. A large number of soldiers sacrificed their lives in exchange for more corpses under the walls. The materials on the top of the city wall were actually consumed all day, and there were more than a thousand corpses lying below. This is the ancient way of siege warfare, this is the taste of the original ecology.

As the sun set, the horn sounded, and Cao's army slowly withdrew. The top of the city wall also began to slowly descend, but as everyone knows, another team of soldiers has already prepared supplies, which is ready to run away overnight. Just wait for night to fall and they can run away.

Cao Cao listened to the captain's report, and his heart became more and more angry. Did so many people die just on the first day of siege? This city is not as tall as Xiapi, and there are not as many people as Xiapi, but it actually made him die so many people? Although the other party also consumed a lot of supplies, Cao Cao was still a little angry. According to the information obtained, Liu Zhang's attack on Yuan Shu did not kill many people at all. Comparing the two in this way, Cao Cao's anger can be imagined. No matter what others say, they can only say that they are inferior to Liu Zhang.

"The lord doesn't have to be in a hurry, then Liu Zhang must have left too many supplies in the city. When the supplies in the city are consumed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this Shou County is just in the bag. Xun Yu saw that the resistance in the city was very strong, so it seemed that they were going to hold on and wait for Liu Zhang's reinforcements.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "This Liu Zhang is really lucky, you can find good people there." Looking at today's appearance, Chen Lan and Lei Bo were not frightened by us at all, but resolutely defended them. Let the soldiers rest well today, and continue the onslaught tomorrow. After giving the order, Cao Cao was in the mood to eat, and looking at that pot of boiled vegetables, he always felt that it was not as delicious as Liu Zhang's Huotou Army.

I didn't know that Cao Cao had a difficult meal here, but the voice in the army was inevitably a little unpleasant. Later, the seven or eight days of the attack on Lu Bu were basically Liu Zhang's Huotou army cooking, but now after the siege, it is not Liu Zhang's Huotou army, Cao Cao's own Huotou army is still dry cakes without much rice grain soup, which makes the army complain. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's a bit difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

This little word spread among the army, and morale inevitably dropped a little. Xun Yu heard this kind of rhetoric after just turning around in the army, which is definitely not a good thing. He immediately went to Cao Cao to report, but seeing that Cao Cao ate the boiled vegetables without a bite, he also understood that Cao Cao didn't like it very much.

"The soldiers in the main army have a lot of grievances about food, and the soldiers before Liu Zhang raised our soldiers. Now the soldiers are complaining, should we also improve? "The cold cakes and soup are indeed a little excessive, this thing doesn't look like the previous hot steamed buns, and the big bowl of dishes is delicious.

Cao Cao put down his chopsticks and sighed and said, "Wen Ruo, I know it too." It's hard for me to swallow this meal, let alone a soldier's. But we are poor, we can't get so many people and food to cook, we can't do anything about this. "Cao Cao is really distressed, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten such a thing.

Xun Yu also sighed, this is really fine. Although they are the biggest controllers of the imperial court, they are really not rich. Just look at the food, then Liu Zhang's soldiers really don't eat too well. In such a comparison, it is normal for soldiers to have a gap in combat ability. Fortunately, Liu Zhang has few people, and if Liu Zhang has an army of 200,000, then there is no need to fight.

The soldiers did not eat well, and their morale inevitably dropped a little. However, most of the soldiers gritted their teeth and endured it, after all, it was already very good to have food. Cao Cao also had no choice but to finish his meal and rest early, obviously Liu Zhang was not here, but Cao Cao still felt that he was disgusted by Liu Zhang.

At night, Cao Jun also began to rest, and the people in Keshou County were already preparing to evacuate. Chen Lan organized the soldiers and prepared to evacuate the place. All the food in the city has been brought with them, and each soldier has carried a lot. Of course, the gold and silver are soft and soft, not to mention, the only things left are some useless ordnance to defend the city, and the people in the city have also left a lot at the beginning, although there are some now, they can't take care of it.

In the night, the gate on the other side of the city quietly opened, and all the soldiers in the city hurried away. Maybe they'll be discovered in an hour or so after evacuation, or maybe they'll be found the next day, but all they have to do now is slip away quickly. Looking at Cao Jun, who didn't react much on the other side, Chen Lan and Lei Bo were happy for a while.

The purpose of the overnight emergency march was Lujiang. It is no longer possible to hold on here, and the news cannot be transmitted at this time. When he arrived in Lujiang, he was passing on the news, and he only hoped that Yuzhang's reinforcements would arrive sooner.

On the morning of the second day, Cao ** stood at the city gate with his face on, looking at the dilapidated city gate, and the wooden gate on it seemed to have been removed? The enemy fled last night, and now even the gates have been unloaded. Defending the city so hard yesterday is to deceive yourself? This made Cao Cao's anger rise slowly.

"Kill me, kill all the people in the city." It's so angry, it's really angry. This kind of enemy who takes advantage of it and runs away after getting the benefit is really angry. Killed thousands of his own people, but only lost some useless things to defend the city. Now he is running away directly, which makes Cao Cao angry.

Xun Yu hurriedly rushed out and said: "The lord can't kill the people, how can the people here defend the city after killing the lord's defenders?" Without the people, there would be no food, and no taxes, and the city would not be able to hold it. "What more city do you need without the people? Cao Cao's people can't come over, what's the use of an empty city? Just to defend Sun Ce, this price is inevitably a bit too big.

Cao Cao took a few breaths, and the anger in his heart was gradually suppressed: "Inform Bo Fu to let him go to Poyang Lake to intercept Liu Zhang's army, and we are ready to attack Lujiang." At this moment, the soldiers are fast, we must attack the Lujiang River quickly. Liu Zhang must not be given a chance to reflect, once we fall into a protracted war, we will inevitably be defeated. Now that he has regained his senses, Cao Cao is much more relaxed. It's a pity that he didn't catch those people, and Cao Cao's heart was still very uncomfortable. Especially the military general on the city wall, which made Cao Cao very irritable.
