The chaos is before dawn, the darkest hour of the day.

Not enough, much earlier, things were already in perspective.

As early as more than an hour ago, Wei Yan received an urgent report from his subordinates, saying that the target who was focused on guarding suddenly left the camp, gathered more than a dozen subordinates, and sneakily touched the east gate.

Wei Yan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, that's right, an important task for him to follow Lu Bu was to stare at Wei Xu to death, so as not to let this unstable factor get the opportunity to wreak havoc. Although the war is urgent and manpower is in short supply, he still arranged two shifts of manpower to keep an eye on the guard, for fear of letting the guy who eats inside and outside take advantage of the loophole.

After getting the news that Wei Xu had moved, he didn't care about recuperating from his injuries and resting, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and chased him out.

Wei Xu is going to the east gate, Cao Cao's main force is also at the east gate, and after licking the blood at the head of the knife for so many years, Wei Yanyan can't smell the dangerous breath in it?

"The lord's eyes are like torches, and he really didn't see the wrong person, this guy is a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed well! Wen Hou is also right, obviously he had that incident before, even if he didn't want his life, he couldn't continue to leave this scourge in the army! Joining the subordinates who led the way, Wei Yan was scolding all the way.

"General, should we inform Wen Hou about this first?" Wei Yan didn't have a big soldier under him, most of them had some expertise, and many of them were very knowledgeable about people's sophistication and power and strategy, and they reminded him very reasonably.

"It's all burning, how can you have time to engage in all this verbosity?" Wei Yan's head shook and immediately scolded. Speaking from the heart, if it weren't for Wen Hou's mother-in-law, how could there be all these troubles today? Maybe everyone is in Yanzhou, waiting to pursue the enemy in a big way!

But then again, it's useless to make these complaints now, since Wei Xu is going to do it, it can't be said without notifying the victim. It would be bad if the snake did not die, but destroyed the tacit understanding between the two armies.

"Forget it, it's not appropriate to disturb Wen Hou at this moment, go to a few people, inform Xunyi and Chengming, and let them send someone over to be a witness." Wei Yan waved his hand, and the boss muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's still easy to do things under the lord's command, if you are still in Qingzhou, where is there any need for so much verbosity?" ”

Many of these secret agents under Wei Yan are older than the main generals, and they have joined since Wang Yu established the spy system. Of course, they will not be like the young general, whining or something will not help to solve the problem substantially.

Immediately, two of them bowed down and disappeared into the darkness without a sound, and the rest quickened their pace and moved forward quickly.

Although Wei Xu set off early, because he wanted to hide his whereabouts, he didn't go fast, and when he was upset by Wei Yan and his party, there was still a short distance from the East City Gate.

Wei Yan was not in a hurry to make a move, he was waiting to catch the thief and catch the stolen goods.

And Wei Xu didn't know if he was scared or what, when he got to the ground, he lingered. Wei Yan stared at it from afar, only to see that he gathered his entourage to discuss something for a while, and then observed the city defense, and then walked a few steps to the city gate three times in one step, and then paced back to the same place after a while, seeing that Wei Yan was not anxious.

"What the hell is this guy doing? Isn't there a fraud? ”

"It's hard to say. According to Chengming and Wenyuan, this person's courage is actually limited, and it is possible to coax behind others, but it is ...... to let him take charge alone."

"So, he's scared when it's time to go?"

"The information is insufficient, and it is inconclusive, and the safest way now is to take it down first and interrogate it......"

"If I could take it, I would have done it a long time ago." Regarding his subordinates' proposals, Wei Yan could only smile bitterly.

In a difficult situation, Gao Shun arrived. The two sides got together and discussed for a while, but they were still at a loss. Since ancient times, this nepotism has been the most tricky, a hero as big as Han Shin didn't die at the hands of a woman?

"What about the Chengming people?" Gao Shun dared to fight when he was fighting, and he was never afraid of danger, but he was a person who didn't have any opinions. Wei Yan discussed a few words with him, and he remembered Cao Xing's straightforwardness.

"After nightfall, there seems to be an abnormal movement in the north direction of the city, and Makomei is worried that something will happen, so he went to inspect the city."

Zhang Liao is good at planning and scheduling, Gao Shun is good at commanding in battle, Cao Xing is superb in archery, observant, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue are fierce and brave, and they are the most relied on by Lu Bu. According to the characteristics of several people, Lu Bu kept Gao Shun by his side when defending the city, Cao Xing sat in the city with a reserve team, ready to support the Quartet at any time, and Cheng Lian patrolled back and forth on the other three city walls.

In the fierce battle during the day, Cao Xing never intervened, and it was not surprising to do something early at night. It's just that when he heard that there seemed to be an abnormality in the north of the city, Wei Yan suddenly became interested.

"Chengbei? Hey...... Oops! ”

After thinking for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "We are in the middle of a plan, and the sound is striking the west...... No, it doesn't have to be the west of the city, it's possible to be north of the city too! Confused, I'm so confused! Without further ado, Xunyi, you go to the north gate first, and I will take this bastard who eats inside and out, and then go to the west of the city......"

Before the words fell, there was already a flash of fire in the west direction of the city, followed by a burst of earth-shattering shouts of killing!

Gao Shun's reaction was a little slower, but with such a change, no matter how slow he was, he knew what was happening.

"Simon, it's Simon, it's ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the exclamations were drowned out by the sudden sound of war drums in the depths of the night. The sudden drum beat was high-pitched and intense, and it was a little scattered at first, but it immediately resounded in all directions.

"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock! "Knock knock knock...... "More and more urgent, louder and louder, the sound urges people to get old, and the liver and sausage are broken!"

The second general's face was full of misery.

Until now, they still hadn't figured out how Wei Xu kept in touch with the Cao army outside the city, but there was no doubt that it was a long-planned rebellion. The sound of the east and the west, the inside and the outside, attacked their side unprepared and caught off guard!

If Wei Yan hadn't stared at Wei Xu hard enough, they themselves might have just woken up from their dreams at this moment, how could they talk about contingency in this pitch-black environment?

"There's no way, Brother Xunyi, you go and gather people quickly, and the younger brother will go and block it for a while." Wei Yan shook his head as if laughing at himself, his face suddenly softened, and the gleam in his eyes was clearly conscious.

"But ......"

"You don't want your mother-in-law's, the city is broken, none of us want to live!" Wei Yan quickly interrupted, "Now can you gather people, or me?" The faster you move, the better my chance of survival, anyway, nine out of ten are already dead, this is a death fight! Brother Xunyi, little brother go first! ”

After saying that, he resolutely turned around, raised his knife and shouted: "If you are not afraid of death, come with me!" ”

No one responded, and the thirty-two spies and eyeliners expressed their intentions with their actions, followed closely behind the main general, and rushed to the place where the fire was most vigorous.

Watching his friend's back disappear into the darkness, Gao Shun slowly turned around and looked at the colleague who had just experienced great joy and was about to slip away not far away.

Raising the sword and shield in his hand, Gao Shun relied on his own opinion for the first time in his life and made the decision to cut first and then play: "Kill the internal thief first, and then resist the external enemy!" ”

"Whoa!" The armies responded with a bang.

……

There was a fire in the city, and the defenders were in their lair! The gates are wide open, and people are killing each other everywhere!

The astonishing good news and the sound of drums spread throughout Cao's camp, and immediately aroused cheers. Just half a day ago, this city was still so strong, and the onslaught of 80,000 troops could not even stand at the head of the city.

The defenders who put life and death out of the way are quite terrifying, they are simply a bunch of outlaws! In a small city with a radius of only a few hundred paces, in two hours of fighting, the besiegers threw down more than 5,000 corpses, and countless generals were killed or wounded!

Sixteen generals with names and surnames died, plus the injured Dian Wei, the half-dead Yan Ming, and the lame Lu Chang...... This nameless city is like a bottomless pit, with its mouth wide open, just waiting to devour its life.

Now, this black hole has finally opened its mouth, which is equivalent to God roasting the meat and bringing it to everyone's mouth, how can there be any reason not to eat it? Is there any reason not to smash it? There was no need for the officers to mobilize, and the soldiers were already in full spirit, scrambling to be the first to take the first position.

It is self-defeating to be the first to do it during the day, but now, I'm afraid it will be both fame and fame!

"The lord has an order, and those who can capture and kill Lu Bu and dedicate it to his subordinates will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and given a fifth-level knight!" There is no superfluous verbosity, a word boosts morale, Xiahoudun took the 10,000 elites that had been prepared long ago, Cao Cao ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses, 80,000 troops, and Taishan smashed the past to Xiao Xiuwu like a top!

The process of attacking the West City Gate did not have any twists and turns.

The besieging Cao army has been mainly attacking the east gate, and the west gate has basically not moved, and the 10,000 elites are still temporarily transferred, and in the case of limited troops, of course Lu Bu will not be heavily defended again.

There were not many defenders, and they didn't expect the fatal knife to be stabbed from behind, and at the moment of the sudden change, the officer guarding the door had already been killed. Although the remaining defenders were much more rebellious than Hou Cheng's group, after losing their command, they were completely unable to form a joint force, some wanted to seize the city gate, some wanted to report the news, and there were also many people who fled timidly.

When Xiahoudun led the army to fight, everything was irretrievable.

"You lead the way! Break through the big camp in the city first, Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, the two of you will take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, act separately, and go to take the north and south gates first! Xiahoudun pointed the steel gun in his hand at Hou Cheng, who came to greet him, and shouted.

"Whoa!" Zhong Jin and the others are brothers, and they have made a lot of contributions under Xiahou Dun, and their heads are not very bright, but they are indispensable for charging into battle.

Hou Cheng slandered in his stomach: What is there to be arrogant, there is no Lao Tzu, you can enter the city with your reckless man?

Complaining is complaining, after staying in the Cao army for so long, he also knows the identity of the other party, not to mention that he is a general, even if it is the identity of Le Jin and Li Dian, dare to argue with the relatives of the Cao family? But in any case, the credit is settled, and that's enough.

While thinking in his heart about what kind of reward he would get for this achievement, Hou Cheng nodded and walked to the front of the team.
