It's getting dark.

There was still a faint glow in the sky, which made the sky dim...... The wind blowing from the upper reaches of the ancestral water, with a hint of chill, seems to tell people that it is winter and the weather is starting to turn cold!

On the city of Quyang, there is a rare quietness.

Under the city, there was a faint sound of crying, but for Cao Peng, it seemed like a passing cloud.

He couldn't say why this was so. If it was in his previous life, seeing so many people die, he would never be as numb as he is now.

Yes, it's numbness!

Looking at the corpses, whether it was his own side or the place, he couldn't feel any emotion.

The whole person is as if he has lost his soul, and he cannot feel the emotions of joy, anger and sorrow. Walking on the city tower, stepping on the thick blood under his feet, making a chirp, chirp sound. The entire west gate of Quyang was almost soaked in blood, and the blood and water mixed together, flowing out along the water holes on both sides of the city wall, dyeing the entire city into red, and soaking the soil under the city...... With a light breath of turbidity, Cao Peng glanced at the soldiers on the city.

"Madman, how many people died today?"

"On the Xicheng side alone, there are about 240 people, and the Dongcheng is better, but there are also serious casualties."

It is the surname of nearly 400 people...... But it is certain that Chen Gong must have paid far better than his own. What is the point of such a strong attack? Cao Peng couldn't guess. Could it be that Chen Gong heard something about it, so he attacked so frantically?

Scratching his head, Cao Peng looked very distressed.

"What time is it?"

"It's past ...... time"

"Looks like it's almost over for the day!"

After Cao Peng sighed, he just wanted to turn around and go back to the foyer to rest.

Suddenly, in the camp of the Xiapi army outside the city, there were bursts of rapid war drums.

Immediately after, the horn sounded, and the Xiapi army held torches, formed a formation again, accompanied by rumbling war drums, and kept approaching Quyang...... "! ”

Cao Peng couldn't help but blurt out scolding.

"These grandchildren are typical, and they don't intend to make me feel better."

As he spoke, he slammed his fist into the battlements. Perhaps due to repeated bombardments, the battlements had already loosened. As soon as Cao Peng punched down, he felt that his hands were empty, and the battlements fell down the city with a bang, smashed to the ground, and made a dull sound, which reached the city.

In an instant, Cao Peng froze.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?"

"Fiction is real, reality is virtual, fiction is real, and the magic is infinite......"

Cao Peng muttered in his mouth, as if he didn't realize it.

And the Xiapi army outside the city, accompanied by a roaring war drum, the stone thrower was fired again. The stones thrown at night are all wrapped in dead grass and then ignited. Balls of fireball roared towards the head of Quyang City, and under the cover of stones and arrows, the Xiapi army attacked.

"Not good!"

Cao Peng shouted, dragged the knife and turned his head to leave.

"Childe, what happened?"

Zhou Cang took his troops and was preparing to change guards with Xiahoulan under the city.

Seeing Cao Peng rushing down from the city, Zhoucang, Xiahoulan, and Wang Xu couldn't help but be stunned. So far in the war, they had never seen Cao Peng show such a panicked look. At this time, Cao Peng was so flustered, it must have happened a big thing, and the three of them couldn't help but get nervous.

"Uncle Zhou, take your people and go with me."

"Huh?"

"Xiahou Lan Wang Xu, you two continue to stay in the city, and give me a back dog."

"Whoa!"

Xiahou Lan and Wang Xu were a little unclear about the situation, but when Cao Peng's military order was issued, the two of them naturally would not disobey it, and hurriedly surrendered their orders.

"Childe, what the hell is going on?"

"Come with me to the East City."

Zhou Cang and Cao Peng took the lead in running in front and went straight to the East City Gate along the long street.

Behind the two of them, three hundred foot soldiers were inexplicable, but they followed closely. Since the war horses in the city were all taken away by Gan Ning and others, Zhou Cang and Cao Peng also had to move forward on foot. Zhou Cang was out of breath, and while running, he asked Cao Peng for advice in confusion.

But Cao Peng's answer made him even more confused...... "Chen Gongtai, you fucking sound everywhere!" ”

Cao Peng cursed as he ran.

Sound east and west, this guy actually played a trick to hit the west! Isn't that a trick played by Cao Ying in Wancheng or Wancheng?

In Cao Peng's memory, the sound of the east and the west originated from the battle of Wancheng.

How many times did Cao Ying attack Wancheng? Second or third time? Cao Peng doesn't remember clearly. Anyway, it was Cao Ying who found a breakthrough in Wancheng, which was located in the west of Wancheng. So he remained silent and stormed the east, forcing Zhang Xiu to transfer his forces, and then attacked the western city. However, this strategy was finally seen through by Jia Xu, and he almost killed Cao Ying. In later generations, it became one of the 36 strategies. But Cao Peng was far away in Haixi, and he didn't know too much about Cao Ying's later battle situation in Wancheng.

So did the sound of the east and the west appear?

Cao Peng doesn't know either!

However, this guy Chen Gong is really playing a trick under his nose.

In fact, it was not created by Cao Ying.

Its true source is recorded on the façade of "Huainanzi - Military Training".

The original text of the military training is as follows: Therefore, the way of using the army is to show it to be soft and welcome it to be strong, to show it to be weak and multiply it to be strong, to be in a position to respond to it and to show it to Zhang, and to show it to the east if you want to be in the west...... And the first person to use this soldier as a strategy was not Cao Ying, but Dingyuan Marquis Banchao in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chen Gong is ruthless!

He had enough soldiers and horses in his hands, and then put pressure on Cao Peng.

The two city gates in the east and west of Quyang are like a scale, which is originally in a state of balance. Chen Gong attacked with superior forces, forcing Cao Peng to balance his forces and turn to the western city. The large number of troops at the West City Gate means that the East City Gate is insufficient, and then suddenly reversed the direction of the attack and caught Cao Peng off guard. It should be said that this is not a conspiracy, but a real conspiracy.

Even if Cao Peng saw the mystery, he had to turn with Chen Deng's baton.

If you don't increase the number of troops to Simon, Simon will be broken sooner or later; If the number of troops is increased to the west gate, then the strength of the east gate will inevitably decrease...... What's more, Cao Peng didn't see it.

I have to say that Cao Peng's luck is not bad.

Since the soldiers and horses of Zhoucang were still resting, three hundred recruits were temporarily recruited to invest in the defense of the West City Gate.

This also created an illusion for Chen Gong, that is, Cao Peng no longer had troops and horses in his hands.

Otherwise, why would he push Xinding to the battlefield?

Cao Peng was secretly glad in his heart, glad that he didn't transfer Zhou Cang, and glad that he was one step ahead and aware of the conspiracy.

If Zhou Cang and Xiahoulan are handed over, Xiahoulan's soldiers and horses will arrive at the West School Field, and if they want to go into battle, their combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least one-third. Who wouldn't want to get off the beaten track and recuperate? But before he could eat a bite of hot food, he hurried back to the battlefield, and his morale was naturally low.

Glad, really glad...... Cao Peng and Zhou Cang led the people, and only ran to two-thirds of the distance of the long street when they heard a roar from the direction of the East City Gate.

In the distance, smoke and dust stirred.

"The city has fallen!"

The exclamations of the soldiers kept coming.

Cao Peng was in a hurry, hurriedly sped up, and rushed to the east gate like a child.

At this time, the east city gate was in chaos. Pan Zhang fought fiercely for a day, and he was already exhausted, so he was replaced by Deng Fan on duty. The problem is that Deng Fan can fight, but he is obviously insufficient to command soldiers and horses. So much so that when Chen Gong and the surname Cao mobilized a large army and launched an attack with several times the firepower during the day, Deng Fan panicked! He was in a different situation with Cao Peng, after all, Cao Peng had a soul that was nearly thirty years old. The criminal investigation experience in his previous life has been reincarnated in life and death, which makes Cao Peng much calmer and calmer than his peers.

And Deng Fan, that is a real teenager.

Growing up so big, how could he have had such an experience?

When he found out that the attack of the Xiapi army had suddenly intensified, Deng Fan was immediately stunned!

Previously, he assisted Pan Zhangshang to stabilize. At this time, Pan Zhang was not there, and he couldn't help but be a little confused...... After only one round of attacks, the walls of the eastern city collapsed. Of course, there's one more problem here! That is the wall of the eastern city, which is inferior to the western city. Quyang is high in the west and low in the east, and there is an obvious depression outside the east city, and the soil quality is softer than that of the west city.

On the surface, the walls on both sides are about the same.

But in fact, the East City is far less solid than the West City.

The surname Cao discovered the problem of Dongcheng yesterday, so he proposed a plan to storm Dongcheng.

However, Chen Gong's plan of 'striking the west and attacking the east' is undoubtedly more secure. During the day, Lü Ji's attack, although unfavorable, further weakened the walls of the eastern city. After nightfall, only one round of rocks collapsed the city wall of the eastern city. Deng Fan didn't know what to do for a while.

The Xiapi army, which had already gathered momentum and was ready, immediately swarmed up and rushed towards the gap.

And there was also panic on the city, and Deng Fan didn't know whether he should shoot arrows first to repel the Xia Pi soldiers, or fill in the gap.

The general's confusion caused the soldiers in the city to fall into panic...... Seeing that more and more Xiapi soldiers were pouring into the gap, and when Quyang City was about to be broken, Cao Peng finally rushed to the east city gate.

"Big Bear, fill the gap!"

Cao Peng was under the city, hissing and roaring.

"Brothers, don't panic, I'm here...... Shoot me back now! ”

Cao Peng's shouts echoed above the city gate.

These words, everyone is already familiar with Cao Peng's voice. So much so that when he heard Cao Peng's shout, his panicked mood immediately calmed down.

Deng Fan also came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Fill the gap!" ”

"Zhou Cang, take 200 people to the city and release arrows!"

"Whoa!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Cang immediately led the archers to rush to the city wall.

Cao Peng took the lead, and rushed to the Xiapi soldiers who entered the city with a sword. There was a sound of wind hanging on the big knife of the river, and the head slashed down, and the first soldier to bear the brunt of the attack was a Dubo, seeing Cao Peng's childish appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and twist the gun to greet him.

Swords and guns clashed, and there was a sound of bells.

The heavy spear swung out, and Duber's middle palace was revealed.

Cao Peng gritted his teeth, and his feet did not stop, and he rushed past Du Bo like the wind.

The river swept away with a big sword, and it tore Natub apart. With stumps and broken arms, mixed with organs, scattered all over the place, Cao Pengren had rushed into the chaos.

An iron meteor was sent out, hitting the face of a soldier under the pen, smashing the eyebrow bone of the soldier into a depression, and the seven orifices bled and fell to the ground. Two hits killed two people, and the means were extremely brutal. At this moment, Cao Peng is like a tiger descending from the mountain, raging in the chaotic army. Everywhere he went, the sword flashed, and the blood mist erupted. One hundred Haixi soldiers immediately entered the battle, and although the Xiapi soldiers continued to pour into the city, they were killed and retreated. The people in front of them retreated, and the people behind rushed inside, and the gap was suddenly overcrowded.

I only heard Deng Fan's roar from the city gate: "Throw stones, fill up!" ”

Boom, sandbags, stakes mixed with stones fell from the top of the city. The soldiers who were squeezed into the gap screamed again and again...... The smoke and dust rolled, and dozens of Xiapi soldiers became blurred in the blink of an eye, becoming a piece of material to fill the gap.

The body of one of the soldiers was pierced by a wooden stake, and dozens of sandbags were pressed. Leaving only one leg outside, a twitch, a twitch...... "Don't panic, everyone, don't panic!" ”

Pan Zhang was awakened and also climbed to the top of the city.

Together with Zhou Cang and Deng Fan, while commanding the archers to shoot arrows, they frantically slashed and killed those Xiapi soldiers who landed in the city.

After Cao Peng eliminated the Xiapi soldiers in the city, he led the soldiers and followed him to the city.

At the moment when he had just landed in the city, the Haixi soldiers at the head of the city let out a series of excited shouts, "Childe is here, Childe is here!" ”

Outside the East City Gate, Chen Gong's face suddenly changed greatly.

"Damn...... We were fooled! ”

That's right, he should be fooled. However, it was not Cao Peng's design, but purely Cao Peng's unintentional move, which made Chen Gong make a wrong judgment. He looked at the swaying figure above the city, and he was so angry that he couldn't help jumping down from the chariot.

has grown so big, except for Cao Ying, no one can be like Cao Peng, which makes him angry.

In Chen Gong's opinion, he was humiliated...... "Siege, siege!" ”

Chen Gong hissed and roared, and the whole person seemed to be crazy.

The surname Cao stepped forward and hugged him, "Gongtai, you can't fight like this again...... The casualties were too great, and the sons were already tired. ”

"But, but ......"

"Gongtai, listen to me, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Anyway, Quyang is already at the end of the crossbow, let's rest for one night and fight again tomorrow...... I don't believe that Cao Youxue can continue to persevere. Chen Gong gritted his teeth and stood under the city, gradually regaining his calm posture.

"Shulong, collect the troops."

The gong sounded, and the Xiapi soldiers stopped attacking after a round of strong attacks.

I have to say that this battle did a lot of damage to the Xia Pi soldiers. It was clear that the city was about to be broken, but the other party drove the city down again...... It has always been like this, the small Quyang City, in the past two days, has been like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, which makes the soldiers feel cold.

Chen Gong clenched his sword.

Cao Youxue, and let you live a little longer, see how long you can last!

———————————————————————————— night is thick and the wind is slow.

Chen Deng drank from the south bank of the Huaishui River and looked at the pontoon bridge built on the surface of the Huaishui River under the moonlight.

Is it finally about to start? I didn't expect a small Haixi County to force Lu Bu to such a point, it's really not simple...... "Taishou, the pontoon bridge has been built." ”

"Pass my order, cross the river immediately, and be sure to capture Huaipu County tonight."
