Cao Cao never thought that the enemy army would break through the Puyang City Gate so quickly!

Although he thought that he was fully prepared, he immediately sent his army at the moment when the enemy broke through the city, and established a strong defense around the fire wall, which was composed of shield soldiers and spearmen as the backbone, supplemented by crossbowmen, and cavalry as the two wings.

In fact, as early as after the realization of the Jibei Kingdom, Cao Cao had fully understood Liu Qi's intentions, that is, to cut off the connection between Dongjun and Dongping Kingdom and Taishan County and Qingzhou, and then concentrate all his strength to attack Puyang, force himself to retreat to Hebei, and then encroach on the territory south of the Yellow River.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao wants to keep Puyang at any cost, so he is painstaking, trying his best to defend Puyang and make Puyang impregnable, he believes that this time he is so desperate, even if Liu Qi comes out, he has to be afraid, because of the fact that he hurts the enemy a thousand and loses eight hundred, even Liu Qi is not willing to do this.

But Cao Cao didn't expect that this time Liu Qi would really dare to do this, this time Liu Qi wanted to take the opportunity of attacking Puyang to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao, and try his best to eliminate his main force, so that even if he didn't die, he would have to take off three layers of skin.

Therefore, this war is destined to be extremely tragic.

Guarding behind the city gate was Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun.

This man immediately stood firmly in front of the formation, and his own soldiers raised their shields and spears to form a strong wall, and in front of their formation, there were various defensive weapons such as fortress knife carts, antlers, and horse repelling guns, although the matter was hasty, the threat of these defensive instruments was relatively small. However, it can also hinder the advance of Liu Qi's army, and as long as their speed slows down, it is convenient to use the advantage of crossbow arrows to make them lose some of their men and horses, so that the enemy army will be difficult to retreat.

But what I didn't expect was that just a moment later, I saw a sharp sound of breaking the air. Xiahoudun knew that it was the enemy who had fired the crossbow arrows, but he didn't have to worry at all, because he believed that the defensive weapons in front of his team would definitely block most of the crossbow arrows for them.

Xiahoudun looked coldly ahead, and saw that the opponent's bow and arrow were still emitting a lot of sparks when they landed, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.

He had already learned from Cao Cao that Liu Qi's army had a bow and arrow that could ignite fire, so he had already prepared in advance and poured water on all these city-defending weapons to ensure that the enemy's fire-setting bows and arrows could not ignite these city-defying weapons.

Although it is not known when the Chu army will attack the city. But the cautious Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to pour water on these city-guarding equipment every night, tonight's irrigation was done two hours ago, and now due to the cold weather, these city-guarding equipment have been frozen, and the slippery surface is just used to resist feather arrows, so this will naturally doom Liu Qi to work hard tonight.

However, a surprising scene appeared to him, because Xiahoudun found that although the feather arrows shot from the opposite side really could not burn the city defense equipment into a skyrocket, the flames attached to the feather arrows were not extinguished immediately. They are generally able to last hundreds of breaths, and after that. Just in time for a second batch of feathered arrows to be fired, and then there were flames that lasted for hundreds of breaths, so that although they could not ignite the fortifications, they melted the ice on it, and then continued to bake the wet wood. As a result, the solid wood was not dried, but a lot of smoke was produced.

At this time, the weather was blowing the north wind, and the billowing smoke immediately blew along the wind to the camp of Xiahoudun in the south, and by the time Xiahoudun realized it, the smoke had already smoked his single eye. Tears flowed down like rain.

"It's not good, the enemy army smoked it." It was only at this time that Xiahoudun knew why the enemy army chose to attack at the north city gate, and he was immediately shocked and immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat.

At this time, the soldiers under the command of Xiahoudun could not help but retreat, because they encountered smoke, many of them bent over and coughed, and they believed that if they stayed for a while, they were afraid that their eyes would be affected by smoke, and their vision would soon be affected.

And just when Xiahoudun waved his troops and retreated, Liu Qi led the two major pro-military battalions under his command to advance step by step, they came to the city defense equipment that still produced billowing smoke, picked these weapons aside with spears, and then the army held their shields and rushed forward quickly.

Although the repeater crossbow can cause a lot of lethality to the enemy without any casualties, as long as the repeater crossbow is fired, the enemy will definitely be prepared, and it will be impossible to cause the effect of a surprise attack at that time, so the soldiers of the two pro-military battalions all gave up using the repeater, and held the Su Tie knife and Mo knife in their hands, and they quickly rushed to the front of Xiahoudun's army with light steps, and then immediately launched a sudden massacre.

Liu Qi was right, Xiahoudun and the soldiers under his command did not expect that Liu Qi did not use a powerful crossbow, so he directly led the army to rush to the front, at this time they all maintained the goose line formation of defending bows and arrows, the soldiers in the front row were still holding shields in their hands, and the soldiers in the back were holding bows and arrows in their hands, and they didn't expect to be outflanked by the enemy, so they fell into a passive situation of being beaten as soon as they came up.

Those front-row soldiers with shields were better, after all, those huge shields could block the Chu army's attacks and make them temporarily worry-free, but of course they had no way to fight back, so they could only delay as much time as possible.

The soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands were all unlucky, because they had no time to draw their swords, and could only fight the enemy with their bows, and if they were lucky, they might hang an enemy with a bowstring, but most of them liked to play with the longbows in their hands, and both the bow and the bowstring were cut off by the sharp iron knives.

Caught off guard, the Wei army soon suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of the Chu army.

But this army did not collapse and retreat, they still gritted their teeth and persevered, resisting the enemy's slaughter by all means, and without weapons, they used their arms to master the enemy, and strangled them by the throat with both hands, strangling them to death and stunning; If you don't have an arm, you can kick with your feet, and you will pick up the enemy's genitals to kick, so that even if the enemy army does not die, it will quickly lose its resistance. When they no longer have their legs, they bite their teeth, bite the ears, arms, and legs of the enemy, trying to delay the enemy's time and buy time for the brothers in the back to change weapons.

After a while, all the brothers behind them could be heard roaring angrily, drawing their sabers or replacing them with spears, and slaughtering the enemy with great momentum.

Seeing that the robes in the front row had lost their lives in order to cover themselves, these Wei soldiers had already turned red-eyed, and the weapons in their hands exuded a cold glow, roaring into the enemy's body.

They knew that if they were simply comparing weapons, their weapons would not be as sharp as the Chu army, and now that the Chu army had gained the upper hand, if they still took care of their own safety at this time, I am afraid that only death was waiting for them, so they adopted the kind of fighting method that did not kill at all, and did not care about the enemy troops who came in, but just desperately used the weapons in their hands to greet the enemy army, and those who could be killed must be killed, and even if they could not be killed, they would be seriously injured.

Although they will still die in this way, they believe that it is more meaningful to die like this, because it will at least bring a lot of losses to the enemy army, and make them feel awe of their own side.

At this time, Xiahoudun couldn't help but be angry after discovering that he had injured the enemy, brandished the spear in his hand, and stabbed all the enemy soldiers around him.

Xiahoudun really deserves to be a generation of fierce generals, although he is surrounded by the most elite Praetorian Guards and Xiao Guard soldiers in the world, but no one can block his round, only to see his spear like an evil poisonous snake, accurately and quickly stabbing enemy soldiers to death.

At this moment, I only heard a loud shout from the surroundings: "Xiahou is resting rampantly, and Yiyang Liao is coming." ”

Then he saw a general holding an iron sword, roared angrily, and slashed towards Xiahoudun.

Seeing this, Xiahoudun sneered slightly, ignoring Liao Hua's knife at all, the spear in his hand was as fast as lightning, and quickly stabbed Liao Hua's left ribs, because the knife was short and the spear was long, the knife in Liao Hua's hand was still a few feet long from the other party, and he saw that the opponent's spear came to the ribs with a chill.

Liao Hua, who was shocked, hurriedly waved his knife to block the block, but saw that the spear suddenly changed direction and pierced Liao Hua's right shoulder with a pop.

Liao Hua, who was in severe pain, screamed and even lost the knife in his hand.

Xiahoudun sneered again and again, waved the spear in his hand, and stabbed Liao Hua's chest again, and suddenly heard a loud shout: "Xiahoudun is hurting, and Lujiang Ding is also here." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw a young general holding a gun in his hand and stabbing towards Xiahoudun.

Seeing that the other party's spear was coming quickly, Xiahoudun had to give up the idea of stabbing Liao Hua to death, and dodged a shot from Ding Feng, at this time, the Praetorian Guard soldiers immediately stepped forward to rescue Liao Hua.

Ding Feng's martial arts are not even as good as Liao Hua, how can he be Xiahoudun's opponent? Before the two were crossed, he saw that Ding Feng was stabbed in the leg, Ding Feng saw that Xiahoudun was so powerful, he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't dare to stand again, and shouted defeat.

At this time, Meng Shu stepped forward and raised the big axe to fight Xiahoudun, because Meng was powerful, the big axe could attack and defend, and took a lot of advantage, so he was able to hold on to Xiahoudun, but Xiahoudun relied on the advantage of the fast speed of the spear in his hand and the length of the gun, and after lasting twenty rounds, he sold a flaw, and a shot pierced into Meng Huo's shoulder socket, Meng Huo shouted, abandoned the double axe and returned to the battle.

Xiahoudun won two battles in a row, and he was proud in his heart, and suddenly laughed and said: "In the Chu army, there are many people who bully the young, who dares to fight alone with me?" If you win, you will be at your disposal, and if you lose, you will retire obediently. ”

At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud laugh and said: "Xiahou Yuan, don't be complacent, let this king come to meet you, a famous general of Cao Wei." (To be continued......)
