With the help of the daytime attack, Gao Shun piled up the 1,000 Heavenly Thunder Flames that had just been transported from Hanoi under the Tiger Prison.

Late at night, he ordered people to sneak outside the gate and detonate the thunder and fire. At this time, the Cao army had begun to retreat, so they did not notice the Han army's moves. Although the power of the Heavenly Thunder Fire is not as amazing as that of later generations, there are more than 1,000 Heavenly Thunder Fires, that is, nearly 800 catties of black powder. The result of such an astonishing amount of gunpowder detonation is still extraordinarily amazing...... The thick city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass was directly blown down, and even the location of the city gate tower showed signs of collapse. The continuous attack of the winch crossbow has made the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass no longer as solid as it was at the beginning. suffered such an astonishing explosion again, even Xiongguan couldn't resist it.

The Cao army in the city suffered heavy casualties.

And the huge explosion made the defenders in the pass even more chaotic.

The Han army immediately entered the Tiger Prison Pass and launched an even more ferocious attack.

When Xiahoudun learned the news, he was also surprised. He hurriedly ordered his men to retreat quickly, and he mounted his horse and carried a gun, and pressed the formation after the break.

In the face of the Han army's tidal attack, Xiahoudun stained his robe with blood.

It's just that Cao Junjun's heart is in turmoil, and no matter how Xiahoudun fights, he can't stabilize the army's heart.

At the same time, Xiahoudun even got the news: Xingyang Zhang He led his troops to kill the Tiger Prison Pass......

The loss of Xingyang was unexpected, and Xu Huang has not been heard from so far, and it is said that he was captured alive by the Han army. Now, the Xingyang Han army has come to kill again, and Xiahoudun knows that the Tiger Prison Pass cannot continue to hold on. In desperation, he had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat, but as soon as he came out of the barracks, he was intercepted by a Han army. The attire of this Han army is completely different from the previous Han army.

All dressed in heavy armor. Holding a sword and shield, after stopping the retreating Cao army, he immediately launched an attack.

This Han army is well-trained.

The sergeants cooperated with each other very tacitly, and they advanced and retreated more legally. There was no confusion at all.

When Cao Jun was intercepted at first glance, he naturally fought hard. However, the other party is like a sophisticated machine, although there are no warriors in the Cao army, but under this ferocious attack, it is impossible to resist at all. The Han army acted like a meat grinder. Cao Jun fell into it. It was quickly wiped out without hesitation.

Xiahoudun was also taken aback when he saw this situation.

He shouted loudly, but he couldn't stop the rout of Cao's army, and even he himself was encircled.

"Xiahoudun. Dare to fight me!

Just when Xiahoudun was desperately fighting, a general had blocked his way.

With the help of the firelight, Xiahoudun recognized the person at a glance, and it was Xu Chu, the general of the tiger ben under Liu Chuang.

How did he end up here?

When Xiahoudun saw Xu Chu blocking the way, he knew that today was a lot of bad luck.

Since Xu Chu is here, the Han army blocking the way must be the most elite tiger army under Liu Chuang. That is, the elite soldiers and horses that evolved from the old camp earlier. Although Xiahoudun had never fought against the Tiger Army, he knew the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army very well. Last year, Cao Peng fought with the Tiger Ben Army, but was defeated and left. Not to mention that this Xu Chu is also a brave general.

"The bold villager also dares to come to his death."

Xiahoudun is a loser but not a loser, even if he knows that tonight is more auspicious, he will not flinch at all.

He yelled on the horse, picked up his gun and fought with Xu Chu.

It's just that this Xu Chu's divine power is amazing, and his knife technique is even more exquisite. The gold-backed big ring knife is sharp and straight. disturbed Xiahoudun's mind...... It stands to reason that Xiahoudun and Xu Chu fought against each other, and there were no **ten rounds to see the difference. But the current situation is that the Cao army has collapsed, and the number of Han troops is increasing. Xiahoudun couldn't help but feel frightened, and naturally couldn't concentrate on fighting with Xu Chu.

In terms of bravery, Xu Chu is better than Xiahoudun.

If Xiahoudun is distracted again, he is naturally not Xu Chu's opponent.

The two fought for more than 30 rounds, Xu Chu saw a flaw, and after the second horse staggered, he suddenly pulled out an iron whip from the horse's back pocket and flew out with his hand. This is called the whip, also known as the whip of the knife. How did Xiahoudun expect that Xu Chu would use such a trick? One was caught off guard, and was hit in the back by an iron whip, which made his nails and leaves fly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell off the horse.

Before Xiahoudun could stand up, several sword and shield men rushed forward.

The two shields pressed on Xiahoudun's body, and someone even took out the rope and quickly tied him up......

Seeing that Xiahoudun was arrested, the generals of the Cao army suddenly became anxious, and they all stepped forward to rescue Xiahoudun. But at this time, Gao Shun's trapped camp had arrived on the battlefield. Gao Shun personally led the troops and horses and commanded the battle. Speaking of which, this old camp and the trap camp are in the same vein, the old camp was trained by Gao Shun in the early days, and although there have been changes since then, its roots have not changed.

After the two troops converged into one place, there was no sense of sluggishness, on the contrary, they cooperated very well.

In an instant, the Cao army was divided into pieces and eliminated by the Han army one by one.

Xu Chu personally led the soldiers and horses, and under the command of Gao Shun, he fought bravely to be the first, and killed Cao Jun's head and scurry......

As the day dawned, the battle for the Tiger Prison gradually stopped.

The Cao army died in battle, and the prisoners were captured, and they were completely defeated. Gao Shun and Xu Chu rode horses and flowed into the battlefield of blood, and they couldn't help but feel extremely happy in their hearts. The Tiger Prison Pass was broken, which also indicated the opening of the door of Xudu. Next, it was time for a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

"Report!"

A fast horse came from a distance and stopped in front of Gao Shun and Xu Chu.

Immediately, the knight rolled the saddle and fell off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The lord captured Gongxian yesterday and sent General Zhao Yun as the vanguard, and the troops have come to the revolving gate.

The revolving gate guards will switch and surrender, and General Zhao's soldiers will seize the revolving gate pass without blood, and they are rushing to the Tiger Prison Pass, about thirty miles away from here! ”

"Zilong, straight and fast?"

When Xu Chu heard this, he was also taken aback.

He naturally knew how powerful Zhao Yun was, and he also knew that the combat effectiveness of the arrow front cavalry under Zhao Yun was amazing.

However, he didn't expect that Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun would advance at such a terrifying speed...... From Gongxian County to the Revolving Gate Pass, after being conquered overnight, it quickly approached the Tiger Prison Pass. This kind of speed is really a bit unexpected by Xu Chu and Gao Shun. It also made the two of them secretly admire in their hearts, and their faces showed inexplicable admiration. The two glanced at each other, and Gao Shun said: "Since this is the case, I'll hurry up and greet you!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The tiger prison was broken, and Heluo oscillated.

If Sima Fang started an incident in Luoyang. It's scary.

Then the fall of Tiger Prison Pass indicates that Cao Cao's general trend has gone, and Liu Chuang has completely gained a firm foothold in Heluo. This was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, and the Heluo area quickly stabilized. At the same time, Xu Shu besieged Chang'an while transferring troops. A steady stream of soldiers and horses from Guanzhong. In just ten days, 30,000 Xiliang soldiers sent a letter to Guguan and entered Heluo.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Han army stationed in Heluo surged to 80,000 at once.

At this time, Cao Cao gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xudu and stationed them east of the chasm. Confront the Han army across the chasm.

Cao Peng and Cao Xiu were even more gearing up, vowing to fight to the death with the Han army.

"Ordered Zike to continue to hold Liyang, and must not let the thief army cross the river."

In Xudu City, Cao Cao's hair turned gray a lot overnight, and the whole person looked extremely old.

The situation changed and he felt caught off guard...... Sima Fang's sudden incident in Luoyang can be said to have disrupted Cao Cao's entire deployment.

If Sima Fang did not rebel, Luoyang would not have fallen into the hands of Liu Chuang. Then Cao Cao still has the strength to fight.

But now......

Luoyang was lost, and Heluo was in chaos.

Cao Ren in Guanzhong had become a lone army and could not give Cao Cao any assistance at all.

And Dongjun Yu Ban Cao Chun, Qingzhou Manzhong, and Liyang Lu Qian all have to face the threat of the Han army, and they are even more powerless to help.

"If you really can't do it, you will transfer Li Dian back from Nanyang?"

Dong Zhao saw that Cao Cao was upset, and couldn't help but step forward to offer advice.

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Far water does not quench the thirst of the near, Mancheng is in Wancheng." On the one hand, it is to resist Liu Biao, and on the other hand, it is also to monitor Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was attached to me back then, more out of helplessness.

He has never been a sincere follower to me, and if there is no Mancheng to watch, he will inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos...... If Nanyang is in chaos. Yingchuan will be in chaos. I'm transferring Man Cheng now, so I might as well let Zhang Xiu come over to support. At least the soldiers and horses in his hands are also quite combative. ”

After speaking, Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The lord's plan is very clever, if Zhang Xiu comes, it can be regarded as an arm." ”

"Is it too late?"

"Although the thieves even took the Hanoi Tiger Prison, they won Luoyang.

But after a series of battles, he was also exhausted...... So my guess is that he won't attack right away. As far as the lord is concerned, there is still a chance. Li Dian can be made to guard Nanyang and order Zhang Xiu to participate in the war. Also, so that Zhu Ling led his troops to help, he could also solve the urgent need. ”

"However, if Zhu Ling comes, Jiangdong will ......."

When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Sun Quan is now seeking to take Jiaozhou, and he may not have the strength to cross the river.

Besides, the lord can make people sit in Huaishui, and he can resist the Jiangdong soldiers and horses. If you can't win against Liu Chuang, what's the use of staying in Guangling?

As long as he can defeat Liu Chuang, even if Sun Quan captures Guangling, he will still have to retreat obediently in the end. ”

Cao Cao thought so.

"In this way, let Zhu Ling come back."

After he gave the order, he felt inexplicably tired.

At this time, Jia Xu stood up again and said softly: "There is one more thing to report to the lord." ”

"Oh?"

Jia Xu said softly: "After Wang Zitai was assassinated, fortunately, he left a detailed record.

After a few days of trial and error, he finally found the correct formula for that day's thunder fire...... After yesterday's demonstration, its power is not inferior to the Han army's heavenly thunder fire. On the occasion of the duel between the lord and Liu Chuang today, with this sharp weapon, at least he can no longer be threatened by the thunder and fire that day. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up suddenly.

"Wenhe, what you said is true?"

Jia Xu smiled: "This kind of thing, how dare Xu say it?" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "There is a thunder and fire one day, and Chuang Er only threatens to be three points smaller, and my chances of winning will also be two points more......"
