The night is getting darker.

The overcast sky made the night much darker than usual.

The cold wind swept across the earth, and although the soldiers of the Cao army lurking in the shadows were wearing thick winter clothes, they were still shivering by the cold wind.

"Ladder!" Looking at Xuzhou City, Cao Ren whispered an order: "Don't blow the horn, don't beat the drum, no one is allowed to shout, and attack quietly!" ”

Impatient to wait, Xiahoudun rushed out first.

In the dark night, everyone could not take care of each other, and on the way to charge, they could only rely on their feelings.

The ground was uneven, and many Cao soldiers tripped and fell to the ground while running.

They only snorted, but they did not shout, and they were about to rush to the foot of the wall.

The night was too thick, and the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion at the head of the city did not notice the Cao army's charge.

It wasn't until the Cao army at the front rushed to the city that the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion found out.

A series of ladders were set up at the head of the city, making a soft sound of the ladder touching the city wall.

"Enemy siege!" Cao Jun climbed to the head of the city, and there was a shout on the city wall.

Lifting the boiling oil that had been prepared for a long time, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion poured down towards Cao Jun, who was climbing the ladder.

The boiling oil was poured down, and a miserable howl suddenly came from the foot of the city wall.

"Move rocks and stone them to death!" A captain of the Tianhai Battalion shouted loudly.

The soldiers picked up the stones and threw them into the city.

The sky was too dark, and the soldiers of the Cao army could not see the boulder falling from the city, and they were suddenly smacked over. 、

The Cao army attacked the city, and many soldiers of the Tianhai battalion brought logs, resisted the ladder and pushed it out.

Cao Jun climbing up the ladder. Fall down along with the ladder.

Holding a halberd, Xiahoudun jumped on a cloud ladder.

He climbed up as fast as he could. A soldier of the Tianhai Battalion at the head of the city dumped a can of boiling oil.

I can't really see it, but I can feel the heat rushing to my face. Xiahoudun grabbed the edge of the ladder with one hand, twisted his body, and half of the person was suspended in the air, avoiding the fate of being doused with boiling oil.

The boiling oil fell close to his side, and Xiahoudun heard a miserable howl from below.

Straightening up, he sprang towards the city.

Seeing that he was about to jump up to the top of the city, another boulder fell head-on.

The distance was very close, and although he couldn't see what he was falling, he didn't dare to slack off to avoid it again.

Dodge boulders. He leapt up to the top of the city.

It was only before his feet stepped on the battlements that several long lances were poked in front of him.

With a flick of the halberd, the long lance poked by the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion was removed, and Xiahoudun jumped onto the city wall with a loud shout.

Someone killed the city, and the soldiers of the nearby Tianhai battalion immediately rushed up.

The halberd danced like a windmill, and the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion who rushed up were actually close to Xiahoudun's body.

With him occupying the city wall, there were no more rolling oil and boulders dumped by the Tianhai camp on the nearby ladders.

Along the ladder, Cao Jun's soldiers climbed quickly and soon reached the top of the city.

Xiahoudun was brave. Tianhai Camp can't get close to him.

Seeing more and more Cao soldiers climbing up to the top of the city, a loud shout came from behind the soldiers: "Get out of the way!" ”

It was Han Meng who made the explosion.

Lifting the big knife and separating the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion who were blocking in front of him, he shouted loudly: "Xiahoudun." I'll meet you! ”

Han slammed into the kill, and Xiahoudun didn't dare to slack off, and waved his halberd to meet him.

The two fought at the head of the city. The nearby Tianhai battalion stormed Cao's army.

Although there are more and more people climbing the city, most of Cao Jun's troops are still under the city after all.

Face the counterattack. Many of Cao's troops fell under the lance of the Tianhai battalion.

From before dawn until the eastern sky turned white, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion finally blocked the attack of Cao's army.

Xiahoudun and Han Meng fought hundreds of rounds. They didn't get any benefit from each other.

Seeing that Cao Jun was pushed off the city wall, Xiahou made a false move, pushed Han Meng back, jumped up the battlements and jumped onto a nearby ladder.

Jumping down the ladder quickly, when the city head smashed down the boulder again, Xiahoudun's feet had already landed.

The earth was dyed golden by the rising sun.

Under the city walls, some Cao troops were carrying corpses searching for their living companions.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion defending the city did not attack them.

The Cao army did not carry a blade, and the corpses were piled up at the foot of the city wall, if it was unreasonable, the Cao army would be hindered from attacking the city again, and once it rotted, the Tianhai camp on the head of the city would not be able to stand the smell.

The two sides reached a tacit understanding without words.

The Cao army, which cleaned up the battlefield, would not be attacked by the Tianhai battalion.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion at the head of the city threw the corpse left by Cao Jun off the city wall.

Cao Jun, who collected the corpse, didn't say much, whenever a corpse fell, they just looked up and were busy with the work at hand.

Looking at Xuzhou City, Cao Ren said: "Our army failed to attack the city at night, and it is not easy to capture the city!" ”

"Yuan Xianxin's soldiers are very good, and there are many fierce generals." Xiahoudun said: "A certain person climbed the city wall, but was driven down by them, and it is also aggrieved to think about it!" ”

"Yuan Rang doesn't have to be like this." Cao Ren said: "At the beginning, Fengxiao confronted Yuan Xianxin, and he still suffered from him, let alone you and me? Fortunately, we are besieging the city, and last night's battle was unfavorable, and there is still a chance to take the city in the future. ”

"If you can't fight again, it will be even more difficult if you want to fight again!" Yu Ban said: "You still have to think of a way." ”

They were silent.

In the face of Yuan Xu, in addition to a strong attack, they really couldn't think of a way to break the city.

On the city wall, Yuan Xu inspected the soldiers accompanied by Ma Fei and others.

After fighting in the middle of the night, the soldiers were somewhat tired.

Some of the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion were asleep sitting with their backs to the battlements, while others were talking to each other.

The corpses at the head of the city have been cleared.

Cao's army attacked the city and suffered heavy casualties, and the Tianhai battalion occupied the city, but the casualties were few.

Yuan Xu passed by, except for the soldiers who were asleep, they would get up and salute, and Yuan Xu also nodded in response.

"Cao's army attacked the city last night and didn't get any benefits." Yuan Xu said: "I will come again tonight!" ”

"Childe has no last resort." Tian Feng said: "Cao Jun really came here last night. Fortunately, the soldiers were prepared, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable. ”

"The number of Cao troops besieging the city should not be much." Yuan Xu said: "Our army only needs to defend Xuzhou, and wait until the siege of Xiapi is resolved, and Cao Cao can retreat!" ”

Cao Ren and others led the army to raid Xuzhou City, and the soldiers and horses allocated from various cities were rushing to Xiapi to help.

In Cao Cao's camp, he gathered everyone to the front of the tent, and Cao Cao asked: "Yuan Xianxin has dispatched troops and horses to gallop to help Xiapi, once gathered, our army will no longer have an advantage, how should we deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Let him go all the way, I will only meet it all the way." Soldiers and horses have the advantage, when you can break the enemy one by one! ”

"Feng Xiao thinks, where is the enemy to break first?"

"The troops sent by Xuzhou are all the elite under Yuan Xianxin." Guo Jia said: "When it is delayed, Cao Gong can first break through other places to reinforce, wait for the Tianhai camp to come here, and fight a decisive battle outside Xiapi City!" ”

"What do you think?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

"I'll second!" All the staff responded one after another. (To be continued.) )
