In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the blood-stained castle tower, revealing a desolate and murderous atmosphere. Today's Xinye County Town Building is already dilapidated.

On the city wall, the east and west were smashed out of the potholes.

There was a pile of corpses outside the city, the blood had long since dried up, and the corpses were already cold.

On the city tower, Zhang Ren had already gotten up to wash up, and was trapped in Xinye County for six days, Zhang Ren looked at the soldiers stationed on the city tower, and his eyes were solemn.

It's the seventh day!

However, Liu Xiu's reinforcements have not yet arrived.

In Zhang Ren's prediction, if Liu Xiu's reinforcements could not arrive today, he would have to give up Xinye County. Otherwise, it can only be the result of the destruction of the city.

"Knock! knock!"

The rumbling sound of war drums was heard outside the city.

The sound seemed to come from the sky, and then from far to near, getting closer and closer.

"Kill!"

A neat and high-pitched shout was also heard.

The black-pressed Cao Jun has 'approached'.

Zhang Ren immediately ordered: "Cao Jun is here, prepare to defend." ”

At the sound of an order, the exhausted soldiers on the city tower had to cheer up and start preparing quickly. It's just that at this time, there is only a large pot of boiling water on the city tower, and the other sassalwood and rolling stones have been used up.

The bows and arrows used by archers should also be used sparingly.

At this point, Zhang Ren is already exhausted, and he is almost to the point where there is no way out. To be able to hold on for such a long time, Zhang Rendu has already done his best.

In less than half an hour, Cao's army was already under the city.

Cloud cars, ladders, and siege vehicles quickly approached, and Cao's army began to attack the city. The two sides used the castle tower of Xinye County as the battlefield of the 'engagement' and continued to fight.

Cao Ren commanded in the rear, his eyes sharp.

Today, he will break the city.

Cao Ren continued to command the soldiers to attack, and saw a 'wave' of soldiers rushing up to the city tower, clenching his fists, his eyes full of antiquity. It's just that Zhang Ren's defense is still quite rigorous, and Cao Jun, who has gone up to the city tower one after another, was beaten down.

The towers that were occupied again and again were taken back by the soldiers who defended the city.

The castle tower in Xinye County has become a grinding 'meat' machine.

The soldiers who were put in by both sides were constantly being consumed, and there was no return.

Blood flowed, and there was a smell of blood in the vicinity of the entire city tower.

The battle lasted until noon, and the 'bright' sun was shining, and the defenders of Xinye County were already exhausted.

At this time, Cao Ren had no intention of withdrawing his troops to rest, and directly ordered the soldiers to attack, without giving Zhang Ren the slightest chance to breathe a sigh of relief. If there were other soldiers under Zhang Ren's command, he could order the rest of the soldiers to change their guards, and then let the soldiers under his command rest, but now there is no such opportunity and time at all.

Even if the soldiers are hungry, they can only hold on.

As soon as the soldiers were removed, the towers were immediately lost.

The only thing Zhang Ren can do now is to defend it, nail it to the city tower, and promise to hold on to the last breath. As long as there is still a slight opportunity, Zhang Ren can't give up.

"General, it's no good, the soldiers of the Cao army rushed up, and now go to the city tower to open the city gate. ”

"General, all the hundred soldiers under my command have been killed. ”

"General, the humble post has taken the first step. Ah......h

On the castle tower, the situation has reached a precarious point. One by one, the soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the generals were already out of service, and the Cao army was still overwhelmingly killing.

Zhang Ren sighed lightly in his heart, but he didn't expect to rely on Liu Xiu in the end.

In his mind, there was a situation when Liu Xiu asked for help from Yizhou. Liu Xiu went to Yizhou for help, but Liu Zhang also refused at first, and he didn't plan to send troops at all.

In the end, it was because Liu Xiu took out Nanyang County that Liu Zhang agreed to send troops.

Now, he just went to ask Liu Xiu to send troops without spending a little money, which seemed naïve.

Both sides are princes, naturally for the sake of profit.

Liu Xiu is the lord of Jingzhou, and it is impossible for him to support him for no reason. Now that I think about it, I was really naïve. Even though Liu Xiu had met with him several times, he would not send troops to support.

Zhang Ren ordered: "Prepare to withdraw the army!"

In desperation, Zhang Ren directly gave the order, and he was already planning to retreat.

"Cao Ren, Yiyang Wei Yan is here. ”

Suddenly, a neat shout resounded on the battlefield outside the city.

The three thousand soldiers shouted in unison, as if tearing the sky, and the sound echoed inside and outside Xinye County. This momentum is even sharper, like a sharp sword, about to pierce directly into Cao Jun.

As soon as Zhang Ren gave the order, he heard a shout from outside the city.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

Zhang Ren roared, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.

"Brothers, hold on, hold on, Liu Jingzhou sent reinforcements. ”

Zhang Ren yelled and ordered again.

At this time, the soldiers who were guarding Xinye County were also 'spirited'. One by one, they shook the 'spirits' and used all their strength to bravely fight with the Cao soldiers who attacked the city.

At this moment, the morale of the soldiers defending the city suddenly rose.

The remaining more than 1,000 soldiers, one by one, quickly fought back and forth, driving down the Cao soldiers who rushed to the city tower.

"Kill!"

On the castle tower, the shouting continued.

"Kill!"

The Jingzhou soldiers outside the city also shouted loudly and quickly killed Cao Ren's Chinese army.

Wei Yan had a black 'colored' war horse in his hips, wearing a helmet and armor, and a sharp long knife in his hand. The broadsword was picked up in the air, shining in the sun, shimmering with a cold light.

"Cao Ren, suffer death!"

Wei Yan ordered loudly, and he took the lead, extremely fast.

Three thousand 'spirits' followed closely behind, and they were also 'spirits' sprints.

In the blink of an eye, it had already collided with Cao Ren's Chinese army. Wei Yan swung the blade and slashed down with one sword, only to see the cold light of the forest slashing through the air, and the Cao soldiers who were blocking the front were killed on the spot.

Wei Yan led three thousand 'elites', like sharp cones, and quickly pierced into the army.

Cao Ren's eyes were calm, and he immediately commanded the soldiers to counterattack.

This battle, Cao Ren lasted for six days, and now it is the seventh day. Cao Ren also knew that Liu Xiu might send troops to support, so he took precautions early. A thousand soldiers on each of the left and right flanks under his command quickly closed and flanked Wei Yan. In addition, Cao Ren knew that Cao 'Cao' was still waiting in the rear, and he would also send troops to intercept and kill the Jingzhou soldiers.

So even if Liu Xiu came to the rescue, it would be to no avail.

"Kill, kill the Jingzhou soldiers. ”

Cao Ren ordered loudly, he was still in charge of the Chinese army, and commanded the soldiers under his command to close and surround the Jingzhou soldiers.

There was a battlefield on the castle tower, and there was a battlefield outside the castle.

For a time, the sound of killing was even more shocking.

Fifteen miles northwest of Xinye, on a wide official road. A brave 'elite' cavalry is already ready for battle. The person who led the troops was Xu Huang, the general under Cao Cao'.

Xu Huang, whose name is Gongming, is a native of Yang County, Hedong.

At the beginning, Xu Huang was a cavalry lieutenant under Yang Feng's account, and Yang Feng was a subordinate of Li Dao, the general of Xiliang. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao and Guo Bi fought inwardly, and Yang Feng once assisted Li Dao against Guo Bi. Later, Yang Feng was recruited by the imperial court, and he broke away from Li Dao's self-established 'door' household.

After Yang Feng followed the little emperor Liu Xie, Xu Huang also followed Yang Feng to Luoyang as an official.

It happened that Cao 'Cao' welcomed the Son of Heaven into Xu County, and Cao's army defeated Yang Feng strongly, and Xu Huang switched to Cao 'Cao'.

Under Yang Feng, although Xu Huang was highly valued, he was also full of suspicion. Under Cao's 'Cao', Cao's 'Cao' is not only good at employing people, but also Xu Huang, who is among them, and he does not hesitate to promote, so that Xu Huang's talents can be fully developed.

Even, Cao 'Cao' praised Xu Huang for "having the style of Zhou Yafu", which shows that it is not simple.

Xu Huang trains soldiers, attaches great importance to military discipline and appearance, and every move of the soldiers under his command is forbidden by order, and no soldier will overstep it.

Under Cao's '', Xu Huang's soldiers are 'elite'.

In this battle of Xinye, in Cao's plan, once Liu Xiu sent troops to the rescue, Xu Huang would lead 5,000 'elite' cavalry to cover the killing, crush Liu Xiu's reinforcements in one go, and at the same time, crush the Yizhou soldiers stationed there.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a sentry came galloping on his horse.

The sentry came to Xu Huang's side, hugged his fists and said, "General, Liu Xiu has sent troops to help Xinye County." According to detectives, this time it was Liu Xiu who personally led the army to the rescue. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, there was a smile on his angular face.

Liu Xiu is here in person!

That's just right!

This time, Liu Xiu was directly captured.

Xu Huang took a deep breath, pulled out the saber at his waist with a sonorous sound, and then rode his horse to the side of the pipeline, and ordered: "Let's go!" With an order, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and five thousand 'jing' rode quickly towards Xinye County.
