Now there are only more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and after Cao Bao left, the guards did not dare to slack off and personally patrolled the city tower. At this time, there seemed to be a noise in the distance, and because the night was very dark, it was impossible to see clearly, so the guard hurriedly beckoned to the left and right: "Everyone be careful." ”

Soon, the sound was getting closer and closer, and when it was closer, the guards could see that it was a dozen defeated soldiers.

"Who are you waiting for?" The guard waited for the group to approach the wall, and then shouted and asked.

More than a dozen defeated soldiers under the city were embarrassed, although they couldn't see clearly, but by the light of the fire at the head of the city, it was obvious that it was the armor of the Xuzhou soldiers.

"General, hurry up the gates! We are under the command of General Cao Bao. One of the leaders shouted loudly into the city.

"Nonsense!" The guard reprimanded loudly: "Why are General Cao Bao's soldiers and horses here? Are you clearly a spy? ”

"General, we are indeed under the command of General Cao Bao. General Cao Bao led the army out of the city, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by the Cao army halfway. General, send someone to save General Cao Bao. ”

"What? Are you talking nonsense? The guard is still not confident, but there is a premonition in his heart that he will not fall. He also knew that Cao Cao was powerful, but looking at Cao Jun's momentum, it was not comparable to their Xuzhou soldiers.

"General, don't hesitate any longer, it's too late. General Cao Bao is in danger. "Under the city, the tun chief said anxiously.

The city guard was shocked, if Cao Bao was in danger, he would not save him, if the Cao family knew about it, with the Cao family's power in Xuzhou, he would just not be able to eat and walk around.

The guard was originally worried that Cao Bao's ambush by the Cao army was a trap, and once he led the troops out, Peng Cheng would be in danger. After thinking about it, the guard general had a heart in his heart, leaving 3,000 men Peng Cheng, and he led 6,000 men to support Cao Bao. Immediately gave an order, and slowly opened the city gate.

Under the city, the tun chief saw the city gate slowly open, and said very low to the brim of a helmet behind him: "General, come out!" ”

"Do it!"

Suddenly, the general pulled out a shiny steel knife from his waist and threw himself into the Xuzhou army that had just opened the city gate. The sudden change suddenly messed up the positions of the Xuzhou soldiers.

The Xuzhou guard immediately understood and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Close the gates. ”

"Cao Zhen is here again, brothers kill me!"

Cao Zhen threw away the helmet on his head, raised his knife and shouted, and slashed backhanded, cutting off the head of the Xuzhou guard, and the splashed blood soaked the robe.

Outside the city, a cavalry was riding a horse galloping, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like a heavy subway hammer hitting the earth, and the earth began to tremble incessantly.

The defenders in the city changed color, the sound of trumpets sounded in the city, and the defenders in the city quickly gathered at the east gate. Cao Zhen and more than a dozen other elites of the Cao army guarded the city gate, and the two sides began to fight at the narrow gate of the city gate.

In the dark night, Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard to ride, and finally rushed to the city gate, the war horse with a huge impact will stop the defenders blocking the city gate to knock away, Cao Chun took the lead, the long knife in his hand fell down, and several heads rolled to the ground.

"Kill!"

Cao Chun rushed into the city on horseback, and the tiger and leopard rode behind him, and the defenders in the city were leaderless, blocking Cao Chun's cavalry at all. After Cao Chun met Cao Zhen, he said: "Zidan, give you 500 men and horses, give me to guard the east gate, and take the army into the city." ”

"Yes!" Cao Zhen's immature face showed a hint of excitement.

Cao Chun nodded with relief, now the situation is critical, there is no room for mistakes, there are more than 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers in the city, if it can't be taken as soon as possible, it will be a difficult street battle when the enemy army reacts.

"Follow me!" Cao Chun shouted, and three thousand tigers and leopards followed Cao Chun to the city.

On the other side, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin ambushed Cao Bao halfway, and cut Cao Bao's 40,000 troops into pieces.

Xiahou Yuan's nine-ring tooth broadsword swept away, the cold light flashed, several heads flew up, the horses did not stop, and they rushed to the Xuzhou army formation with a horse, and the soldiers and horses behind him followed like shadows.

Xiahou Yuan led a group of soldiers and horses, like a sharp knife, cutting the Xuzhou army into several pieces. Li Dian and Le Jin led the two groups of men and horses to attack back and forth, covering with archers, and pressing forward with sword and shield soldiers, forming a huge net, covering all the Xuzhou soldiers, and then slowly killing them.

Cao Bao was frightened in his heart, shouting loudly, while commanding the troops and horses to resist the attack of the Cao army, after all, there were many people, although they were caught off guard by Cao Cao's army, but they also quickly gathered a command to resist the attack of the Cao army.

Xiahou Yuan searched for Cao Bao's figure in the chaotic army, but he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, coupled with the large number of enemy troops, flags on the official road, horses blocked the avenue, and the momentum of advance began to block.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan saw Cao Bao, who was in command of the chaotic army, and was overjoyed, shouting: "Come with me!" "The horse entered the battle, and the nine-ring big knife in his hand came like the wind, and the blade was huohuo, bringing a strong wind.

"Cao Bao, keep your head!"

The sound was weak and thundering, and it exploded in the chaos of the army.

Cao Bao was horrified in his heart, and at the last moment, a personal guard knocked him down, but he was cut into two pieces by Xiahou Yuan, and blood splattered.

"Look for death!" Xiahou Yuan shouted angrily, pulled the reins of the horse, and the nine-ring big knife slashed again.

"General, let's go, I'll wait for the general!"

Cao Bao's personal guards risked their lives at this moment to buy Cao Bao time to escape. Even if they don't want to, once the Lord is dead, they and their families will be reunited, so they have no choice.

Xiahou Yuan was furious, swung his knife and slashed directly, even killing acquaintances, but also let Cao Bao escape. Xiahou Yuan couldn't pursue, so he had to cut off the enemy's flagpole, raised his sword and shouted: "Cao Bao is dead, you don't surrender quickly, let alone when." ”

In the dark night, on the noisy and chaotic battlefield, the news of Cao Bao's death immediately sounded. The Xuzhou army was even more panicked, and the instinct to survive made these Xuzhou soldiers believe it. Cao's army was brave and terrifying, and they didn't want to die on the battlefield in vain, so they chose to surrender.

Cao Bao, who was fleeing in the chaotic army, turned blue when he heard the words, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark night, although he was angry, he didn't have the courage to stand up, and then beckoned his subordinates to resist. Cao Jun was brave and regretted that he should not have come here, and Cao Bao fled east with a sense of chagrin.

On the hill, looking at the foot of the mountain in the distance, the shouting of killing gradually faded, and Cao Cao knew that the battle was almost over. Of course, in his heart, he naturally thought that Xiahou Yuan had defeated Cao Bao.

Guo Jia wrapped in a cloak and walked slowly from behind, looked into the distance and said, "Lord, they have already won in seconds." ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, and asked again: "Zihe should have also taken Pengcheng." ”

The two were talking while waiting for the battle report of Xiahou Yuan and the others.

A horse came from a distance, galloped up the hill, and said: "Lord, General Xiahou ordered someone to report that Cao Bao had been defeated, but unfortunately Cao Bao escaped." In addition, General Cao Chun has also taken Pengcheng. ”

Cao Cao nodded, didn't say anything, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Now that Pengcheng is taken, Xuzhou will definitely be shaken, and the lord can rest in Pengcheng for a day, and then wave his army to the east and point directly at Xiapicheng." ”

Cao Cao thought so and ordered the army to join Xiahou Yuan.

In this battle, half of the 40,000 soldiers and horses brought by Cao Bao were killed or captured by Xiahou Yuan's three-way soldiers and horses, and he escaped with more than 3,000 defeated soldiers, and then gathered the routed troops on the road, so that more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were gathered.

10,000 soldiers and horses is not much, but in the face of the fierce Cao army, Cao Bao naturally did not have the confidence to resist Cao Cao and wanted to return to Pengcheng, but the news came from the defeated army that Cao Cao had occupied Pengcheng. Cao Bao, who was terrified in his heart, had to return to Xiapi City with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

In Picheng, when the news of Cao Bao's defeat came, Tao Qian was so shocked that the wooden chopsticks in his hands fell to the ground, and there was a pain in his chest, and he waved his hand to let the maid on the side bring the food down.

In the conference hall, Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao who was kneeling on the hand, and hated it in his heart. 50,000 horses, and 10,000 horses returned? Does he Cao Bao still have the face to come back, why don't he die? But Tao Qian didn't scold, what if he did? Can 50,000 soldiers and horses come back?

"Lord, please allow the last general to make meritorious contributions!" Cao Bao pleaded.

"Get up!" Tao Qian is not a good lord, because Cao Bao's army was defeated and damaged, which caused a big drop in morale and a shock to the three armies, how can he dare to use it again?

But Cao Bao is a Xuzhou family, and his power is deep-rooted, and if he kills a Cao Bao, I am afraid that Xuzhou will fall into chaos right now. What's more, Tao Qian now has no fierce generals under his command, and he is still counting on him to be able to resist Cao Bing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Cao army is in full swing, and the troops and horses of Qingzhou and Beihai have not yet arrived, what should we do?" Tao Qian asked everyone.

"Envoy, now the only way to collect the soldiers and horses of the surrounding counties and counties is to stick to Xiapi City. Wait for Beihai and Qingzhou to come to the aid of soldiers and horses to resist Cao Cao together. "Left and right engaged in admonition.

That's all there is to it for now.

Three days later, Cao Cao's army approached Picheng, formed a formation outside the city, and looked at it from afar, paved with frost and snow, and the murderous spirit was fierce. The Chinese army erected a white flag with the inscription "Revenge".

Cao Cao beat his horse out of the city, dressed in a vegetarian dress, raised his whip and pointed at the city and scolded: "Tao Qian'er, I have no enmity with you, how dare I kill my father." ”

The defenders of Xuzhou saw that Cao's soldiers were mighty and angry, and they all showed fear.

Tao Qian bowed his hand in the city tower and said: "Qian originally wanted to marry the Ming Gong, so he asked Zhang Min to escort him, and he didn't want to change his heart if he didn't want to be a thief, so that this incident happened, but he didn't do anything about humility, and he hoped that Ming Gong would learn from it." ”

Cao Cao scolded: "Old horseman, kill my father, and dare to talk nonsense, send orders to the three armies, and attack the city." ”

"No."

The rear of the Cao army began to sound thick war drums, and with the sound of drums, the 30,000-strong army moved slowly, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere echoed in the sky above Xiapi City.

In Hedong, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu looked at the information sent in his hand, handed it to Jia Xu on the side, and said: "Cao Cao's soldiers are very fast, and now Pengcheng is down, and the army has come to Picheng." ”

"Well, Cao Cao's soldiers are fierce, and there are no generals under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, so how can he be Cao Cao's opponent." Jia Xu said lightly, "Cao Cao is now competing with Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao is fighting fiercely in Youzhou with Gongsun Zhan, our army should quickly occupy and merge with the state, otherwise when Yuan Shao reacts, it will inevitably cause trouble." ”
