Outside Xuzhou City, Du Chen rode on horseback, looking at Xiongcheng, which was still some distance away, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Looking at the tall city walls of Xuzhou City, Du Chen's mood was a little complicated: It's been five years, and I, Du Silang, are back! Du Chen knew that the higher the city wall, the more the corpses of the soldiers needed to be piled up.

At first glance alone, Du Chen knew that the battle that decided the ownership of the entire Xuzhou would depend on whether he could take Xuzhou City. If you can take this magnificent Xuzhou city, then you can take the whole of Xuzhou. And if he hadn't taken Xuzhou City, then what he had done before would have come to naught.

But the more this happened, the more Du Chen felt that his expression was firm. Since we have gone all the way to the end, if we don't make some achievements, we will definitely make the world laugh. And Du Chen didn't want to be ridiculed, so he could only take down this magnificent majestic city to prove it to the world.

"Give the order, slow down the march, and send someone to carefully check the road conditions." Du Chen turned his head and said to the pro-soldier behind him, and the pro-soldier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly rode his horse to sue others. Du Chen, on the other hand, turned his head back, looking at the road ahead with a little uneasiness in his eyes.

The reason why Du Chen gave such an order was that he knew that Chen Gong would definitely not let his troops come to Xuzhou City comfortably. You must know that Chen Gong has already prepared for the defense of the city, so on the road ahead, he will definitely set a trap.

You must know that due to the consecutive victories, Cao Jun is like a rainbow. Therefore, Chen Gong will definitely find a way to dispel Cao Jun's momentum, and using a trap is definitely the best. If Cao's army was attacked by a large number of traps, it would naturally shake Cao's military morale. After all, a large number of traps will make Cao Jun's soldiers fearful.

After Du Chen's order was delivered, several figures quickly broke away from Cao's army and galloped away in the direction of Xuzhou City. These people are a few highly skilled hunters carefully selected by Du Chen, and they are very good at traps, so it is most suitable for them to send out traps.

And it became Cao Jun's action. Naturally, they escaped the eyes of the defenders in the city, and they hurriedly reported the matter to Chen Gong. After Chen Gong learned about it, his face was expressionless and he didn't say anything.

After the soldiers left, Chen Gong sighed helplessly, he still underestimated Cao Jun's strategists. Cao Jun's advisers are really smart. I thought what I was doing was already very secretive, but I didn't expect it to be noticed by Cao Jun.

But now that he has noticed it, Chen Gong has no way. In this silent confrontation, it was obvious that Cao Jun's strategists had a slight advantage. But I have reason to believe it. In the course of the ensuing battle, victory is definitely your own.

Because he has confidence in Xuzhou City, he also has confidence in the soldiers of Xuzhou City. However, in this extreme confidence, Chen Gong also sensed the unstable factor in it, and of course this unstable factor was Chen Deng.

Chen Deng's table xiàn today. made Chen Gong more and more suspicious of him. He suspected that Chen Deng had actually taken refuge in Cao Cao, so his existence was definitely a danger. But how can Chen Deng be eradicated unknowingly, which makes Chen Gong vomit blood and have a headache.

Killing a Chen Deng couldn't be simpler, with his current status, although killing Chen Deng and Lu Bu will complain, he will definitely not punish himself. But if he killed Chen Deng so blatantly, and then provoked the Chen family to oppose Lu, it would not be good. After all, Xuzhou City is about to enter the flames of war. If you don't have stability inside. How to count on victory over Cao's army. As a result of Du Chen's cautiousness, the soldiers under his command were safely able to pass through the trap area set by Chen Gong. Although there were also unlucky soldiers who touched the trap that was not discovered. But this is basically negligible. After all, Cao Jun has tens of thousands of troops, and the loss of dozens of people can still be bearable.

After choosing a location, Du Chen began to order people to set up camp. At the same time, he began to take a closer look at Xuzhou City. But the more detailed Du Chen looked, the more he sighed in his heart. Because Xuzhou City is too majestic. Taking Xuzhou City will definitely cost a large number of soldiers.

It can be said that if you want to break through Xuzhou City, you have to use corpses to pile up. And Lu Bu in the city categorically would not let himself take Xuzhou City lightly, and the ensuing battle was absolutely cruel and fierce. Xuzhou City is so important, Chen Gong will definitely fight to the death.

After encampment. Du Chen did not rush to launch an offensive. Although his morale is high, he is suitable for siege. But after all, Xuzhou City's city defense is strong, especially when Chen Gong has been prepared. Therefore, a rash attack can only bring senseless sacrifices.

Of course, there is another point, Cao Cao's army is not far from him. When the two armies are combined, it is much stronger to attack Xuzhou City than to act alone. After all, there is still a certain advantage in having a large number of soldiers.

Cao Cao's army finally arrived as promised, and after the two armies merged together, Cao Cao prepared to start an offensive against the city of Xuzhou. Although for Xuzhou City, which is so firmly defended, Cao Cao also has a headache. But for Xuzhou City, he is definitely imperative.

After the army had rested for a few days, Cao Cao ordered a tentative attack. Although it was a tentative attack, Cao Cao still made all the soldiers involved in the siege fully prepared. But in the midst of this tentative attack, the mighty Cao army suffered some setbacks.

The defenders of Xuzhou City were unusually tenacious, and although Cao's army was only a tentative attack, the defenders in the city were fully prepared. Cao Jun's tentative attacks failed to successfully climb the walls of Xuzhou City, and were repelled by the continuous attacks of the growing defenders.

Seeing this scene, Cao Jun and everyone frowned. Although he is a tentative attack, each soldier is also a carefully selected elite. However, such a light one was defeated by Lu Bu's defenders, which made everyone a little unacceptable.

It is true that defending the city is to take advantage of the territory. But he still has more or less control over people, relatively speaking, it is definitely half a catty. Even if it is defeated, it should not be defeated so quickly, at least it can attack the wall of Xuzhou City.

Although Cao Jun was unwilling, the battle record was already there, and any quibbling words made people pale and weak. Of course, this defeat, and it was defeated so quickly, let Cao Jun see how much preparation Chen Gong had made for this war.

Whether it is the soldiers defending the city, or the equipment defending the city. Xuzhou City can be said to be well prepared, and from the perspective of the various city defense equipment, you can know what Chen Gong has done these days. Until this moment, Du Chen somewhat regretted it, if he hadn't been delayed in Pengcheng for so long, the result might have been different. It was precisely because of his own procrastination that Chen Gong had plenty of time to prepare for these.

Seeing that Du Chen was calm on the side, he didn't say a word. Xun Yu came to Du Chen's side and said, "Si Lang, there is no need to blame yourself. Chen Gong wants to stop you, and he will definitely try his best. Even if you take Pengcheng quickly, on the next road, Chen Gong will naturally arrange layers of difficulties for you. ”

After listening to Xun Yu's words, Du Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Wen Ruo, I'm fine." I'm just thinking about how to break through this Xuzhou city. ”

Xun Yu followed Du Chen's gaze and looked at Xuzhou City in the distance, and then he sighed slightly. In the past few days, he has also been thinking about how to break through Xuzhou City, but after thinking about it, there is really no way to do it except for a strong attack.

Chen Gong in the city was ready to hold on, and his attitude was so resolute that no matter what he did, it was impossible to lure him out of the city.

But if you attack it, the cost is too great. If you lose your troops in order to take a Xuzhou city, it is definitely not worth it. You must know that Yanzhou is in a state of siege, and if you lose too much here, the other princes will definitely wait for the opportunity to invade Yanzhou, and then it will really outweigh the losses.

Taking Xuzhou is the first to bear the brunt, but controlling casualties is also a top priority. The casualties must be controlled within an acceptable range, then the battle of Xuzhou is an absolute victory. Otherwise, the battle of Xuzhou would be tantamount to failure.

The next day, Cao's army continued to attack the city. However, this siege is not much different from yesterday, the only thing stronger than yesterday is that today's siege, the soldiers of the Cao army finally climbed the city wall rope of Xuzhou City, although they were quickly beaten down by the Lu Bu army who defended the city, but this is also a kind of progress.

After this day, Cao's offensive became more and more fierce. This made the Lü Bujun defending the city feel tremendous pressure, after all, the Cao army was strong, and in the face of their continuous offensive, Lü Bujun felt a little struggling.

The high-intensity war for several days made both Cao Jun and Lu Bujun feel a little tired. Especially the Cao army, the siege of the city in the past few days has not had any effect, which makes the momentum of the Cao army a little low.

And just when the two armies were fighting hotly, the weather changed unconsciously. After a few days of gloomy, the rain began to trickle. Although the rain was not very heavy, it also extinguished the fighting between the two armies.

Seeing that his soldiers had no effective results in attacking for a long time, Cao Cao ordered someone to blow the horn of the withdrawal of the army. And this time, Cao Cao's expression was a little gloomy, and his repeated attacks did not go well, which made Cao Cao's mood a little not very good. Especially in this depressing weather, Cao Cao couldn't be happier.

The rain began to fall, and for a day or two, although the rain was not very heavy, it showed no signs of stopping. In the face of such weather, Du Chen's mood couldn't help but be a little low. If the rain continues like this, this war will have to be over.

After all, rainy days will affect the mood of the soldiers, and rainy days will affect the transportation of grain and grass, so the impact of rainy days on Cao Jun is definitely greater than that of Lu Bujun. (To be continued......)
