After a long while, Xiahou asked in a deep voice: "Lord Shangxian, what do you say, then Lu Bu will we still kill him?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Of course you can't kill it, when Xiao Cao assigned this task to you, you should have thought that it couldn't be completed, right?" ”

Xiahoudun didn't say anything, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "You can't kill it, and you can't kill it, but it's okay to toss it, you guys, like this"

Ma Xiaoquan told Xiahoudun the bad idea he had just thought of, and Xiahoudun listened, blinked his eyes, and asked weakly: "Lord Shangxian, can this work?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest: "Of course it's okay, when Ben Xian was in the sky in the past, he often played like this." ”

When Xiahou heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then do what Lord Shangxian wants."

Xiahoudun did not stop, and after determining Ma Xiaoquan's bad idea, Xiahoudun led a group of subordinates to slip away. Looking at the disappearing backs of Xiahoudun and the others, Ma Xiaoquan covered his mouth and almost laughed

Lu Bu waited for Cao Cao all night, but he didn't wait for him.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu kept yawning with his mouth open, and from time to time he looked at Chen Gong beside him with contemptuous eyes, Chen Gong also didn't sleep all night, and since the dawn began, he had washed his face with cold water several times.

Lu Bu had a lot of complaints about this, but as soon as he remembered the Chen Gong recommended by Lord Shangxian, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong with a pleasant face: "Gongtai, then Cao Cao won't come for a day, do you say he will come today?" ”

Chen Gong served under Cao Cao for some days, and Chen Gong still knew more about Cao Cao's strategy and tactics. Cao Cao didn't attack the city as promised last night, it doesn't mean that Cao Cao doesn't want to take back Puyang City, after all, Puyang City is an important city in Yanzhou, whether in terms of strategic location or material reserves, Chen Gong feels that Cao Cao can't let go of Puyang City.

Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, the lord can rest assured, then Cao Cao will come to attack Puyang City in less than three days." ”

"Three days?" Lu Bu said dissatisfied, "Didn't you say last night? Waited all night and didn't wait? ”

Chen Gong's old face flushed: "Don't worry, the lord, you can rest assured, leave it to me here, if Cao Cao dares to come to sneak attack, I promise to let him beat the dog with meat buns - there is no return." ”

Chen Gong's words Lu Bu's heart was full of joy, you must know that because of the vigil last night, he didn't have a tryst with Liu Xian'er

After Lu Bu left, Chen Gong reassigned the deployment of the military formation.

At noon, the scout came to report that Cao Jun had been found 30 miles outside the city.

Chen Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to be on standby, and at the same time, arranged for another part of the soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians and beat gongs and drums in the city.

The sound of gongs and drums in the city spread far away, and when heard from a distance, it gave people a very lively feeling, and Cao Jun scouted back, saying that the sound of gongs and drums came from the city.

Cao Cao straddled the shadow horse, thinking about the problem repeatedly, and after thinking for a long time, Cao Cao was not sure.

"What the hell is this Lu Bu Chen Palace doing?"

Cao Cao jumped off the shadow horse, half-squatted, unfolded the topographic map of the march with a loud noise, and studied it carefully.

Puyang City is the same as Pengcheng before it, and it belongs to Xiongcheng. Since ancient times, Xiongcheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Cao Cao carefully studied the terrain around Puyang City, and thought about other feasible attack plans.

Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord, Yuan Rang has been gone for a night, and he hasn't come back, will it be?"

Cao Cao raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miaocai, there is an immortal master in Puyang City, and Yuan Rang will definitely be fine."

As soon as he heard that Lord Shangxian was there, Xiahou Yuan patted his chest and said, "Lord, why did Lord Shangxian run to Puyang City again?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and looked into the distance: "Lord Shangxian has his own things to do."

Cao Jun stopped at a distance of 10 miles from Puyang City, and the scout came to report that there seemed to be a banquet in Puyang City.

Cao Cao was very skeptical of the news reported by the scouts, first, Chen Gong still knew his strategy and tactics very well; Second, it is because Puyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Since Cheng Yu and Xun Yu had to guard the last base area, Cao Cao didn't pull them over, otherwise, there would still be someone to discuss.

Puyang City is still beating gongs and drums, Cao Cao is doing a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and now it is 10 miles away from Puyang City (10 miles in ancient times are not the same as 10 miles in modern times, shorter than now, please don't rush in), if you immediately raise troops to attack Puyang City, Cao Cao thinks that he has little chance of winning, but Puyang City in front of him is like a piece of fat lamb, constantly tempting ~ bewitching Cao Cao.

"Gollum~" Cao Cao swallowed his saliva fiercely, and finally, after lust~ hope defeated reason, Cao Cao pulled out his sword and roared: "Siege!" ”

With an order, the soldiers of the Cao army rushed towards Puyang City as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

On Puyang City, Chen Gong had already waited impatiently, and when he heard the shouting and killing sound from afar, Chen Gong immediately ordered to put down the hanging door and throw the thistle outside the city.

The shape of the thistle terrestris is similar to the thorn ball, its main function is to prick the feet and hooves of horses, each of the thorns on the thistle terrestris are 3 inches long, if a person or horse steps on it, it will definitely pierce the soles of the feet and not move forward.

"Get off the horse~" Another order, the engineers outside the city began to quickly evacuate to the city.

The number of engineers is not large, but the efficiency of the work is surprisingly high, long before the attack of the Cao army, these engineers have already begun to arrange the outer city defense facilities, the order just received is only an order to collect troops.

The engineers entered the city through a very inconspicuous small side gate, and as the last man entered, the defenders of the city quickly blocked the side gate with stones and yellow mud.

This scene was ambushed in the city for a long time Xiahoudun saw it, and after the group of engineers and defenders withdrew, Xiahoudun ordered his subordinates to quickly step forward and remove the stones and yellow mud blocking the side door, but in order to hide people's eyes, Xiahoudun still made an illusion that looked quite real after dealing with the side door.

"If there is a chance, you may be able to attack here, even if you don't attack, you can escape" Xiahoudun beckoned, and his subordinates quickly lurked, Xiahoudun nodded, and disappeared into the dwelling

The monstrous Cao army attacked 2 miles in front of the city, and suddenly found that the iron thistle terrestris were all over the ground, and the front part of the Cao army, who had no time to stop, suddenly stepped on the iron thistle, and suddenly the cry shook the sky, and some Cao soldiers were pierced on the soles of their feet, and they instinctively fell to the ground and rolled, but they didn't expect more iron thistles to be pierced into their bodies

Xiahou Yuan was in the front, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately stopped the front army from moving forward, and it was easy to stop, but more than half of the casualties in the front were already a certainty.

Xiahou Yuantie blushed, drove his horse to Cao Cao, dismounted and knelt on the ground to ask Cao Cao for his guilt.

Cao Cao shook his head and helped Xiahou Yuan up.

"I don't blame you for this, I want to complain, I blame that Chen Gong knows my style of play too well"

Cao Cao pardoned Xiahou Yuan's guilt in one sentence. Xiahou Yuan got up and assured Cao Cao that he would definitely capture Puyang City, and after saying that, Xiahou Yuan drove his horse and ran to the front army.

On the city wall of Puyang City, Lu Bu calmly threw on his battle armor and walked to Chen Gong's side.

Looking at the front army of the Cao Army, which was covered in scaly wounds not far from the city, Lu Bu laughed proudly.

"Gongtai, you are really amazing, that thistle terrestris is so easy to use, is there any more, all to that Cao Cao!"

Chen Gong smiled and arched his hand and said: "Don't be proud, that Cao Cao used his troops to deceive, although I sprinkled the iron thistle outside the city, but presumably Cao Cao will come up with a countermeasure soon." ”

Sure enough, as Chen Gong said, after Cao Jun's front was injured by the thistle, Cao Cao immediately ordered a squad of sergeants to carry a large branch forward to "sweep mines".

Approaching the city wall and entering the range of Lu Bu's crossbowmen, Lu Bu personally ordered the arrows to be released.

Faced with a fierce array of flying arrows falling from the sky from above, Cao Cao quickly ordered the front army to raise a shield higher than a person.

"Dangdangdang~" The arrow hit the shield, and there was a sound like hail smashing the window.

Forced by the fierceness of the opponent's arrow array, although Cao Cao's army took precautions, the speed of advance was greatly reduced.

Lu Bu took the opportunity to urgently order that the original Flying Arrow Fierce Array be replaced by a rocket attack.

The rocket sky attack just quenched the original arrow head with oil and shot it at the opponent after igniting it.

Although the transformation work is simple, the effect of the strategic strike obtained has almost doubled.

The arrows quenched with the oil crashed into the Cao army like a meteor, and the Cao army waved their weapons to block it with their shields, but the helpless thing was that once the rocket was blocked, the fire oil on the arrows would sputter out.

"Change formation, counterattack!" Cao Cao gave an order, and the crossbowmen in the rear of Cao's army opened their bows and arrows one after another.

"Arrow~"

Under an order, the Cao army's camp fired thousands of arrows, and even more, he learned from Lu Bujun, quenched the arrows with oil, and returned the favor to the other in his way.

The counteroffensive of the Cao army's bow and crossbow battalion immediately pulled back the original decline a lot, although shooting arrows from the bottom up, there will be a situation where the strength is not bad, but there are always those powerful crossbowmen, who will shoot the arrows quenched with fire oil on the city.

The fire oil splattered on the city, igniting the wooden buildings on the city.

Lu Bu quickly withdrew from the city with Chen Gong, and at the same time, he did not forget to shout and curse Cao Cao's father.

In terms of siege, Cao's army, under the cover of crossbowmen, set up a ladder along the way.

With the lessons learned from the defeat of Pengcheng last time, Cao Cao ordered that while the ladder was erected, two wells were raised, and on top of the wells, 10 crossbowmen were assigned to each to support the siegers who were covering the city walls with bows and arrows.

Under the city gate, the rushing car has also been pushed to the city gate, with the shout of "one, two, rush ~~ one, two, rush ~~", the city began to follow the rumble of the impact.
