Chapter 117: Forward and Backward Strikes

It's overwhelming!

On the battlefield, the momentum of the front is extremely important, and once the momentum is formed, it can be destroyed all the way.

The same is true on the battlefield of this side gate now, after Cao Ang shot an arrow at the overseer defending the city, the soldiers are in high spirits, and the defenders have no intention of fighting again.

Under this increase and subtraction, the side door that could have lasted for a moment was immediately broken.

Coupled with the advance of the siege towers and siege vehicles, after setting up the city walls and breaking the city gates, the dense army was even more killed.

At this time, the guards of the city were different, and how could they resist when all the city gates and walls were lost.

Some of the cowardly soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and they threw down their weapons and fled.

At the beginning, the soldiers who supervised the battle would still take care of these defenders who fled in a panic, but when the Cao army rushed towards them with great momentum, these elite warlords did not dare to confront it head-on at this time, and also chose to escape.

Almost as soon as the soldiers who supervised the battle escaped, all the soldiers defending the city chose to surrender one after another.

Although the attack on this side of the city gate was more costly than Cao Ang expected and delayed him longer, he didn't have time to curse at this time, so he could only lead the army to the main gate after giving an order.

"All the soldiers listened to the order and rushed into the main gate with this son, Prime Minister Cao Cheng had an order to kill Zhang Xun's generals and seal the East China Sea!"

Under this huge temptation, Liu Bei's eyes were also quite hot, and the three thousand soldiers were almost parallel to Cao Ang, which was enough to see his impatience.

On the other side, Lu Lingqi also took Zhang Liao Gaoshun to follow quickly at this time, but their eyes were not on the Yuan army, but quietly stared at Liu Bei's army.

Of course, all of this is done in such a way that outsiders won't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Almost at the same time that Cao Ang led his troops to kill the main gate, there was also billowing smoke near the main gate in Xu County, and as the army got closer and closer, the shouting of killing became clearer and clearer.

Someone has already taken a step ahead of them and entered the main gate from the other city gates, looking at the banner under the big banner, it turned out to be the forbidden Qingzhou army!

I saw that under the charge of the forbidden Qingzhou army, the defenders of the main gate also faced a front and rear attack, and Zhang Xun had no choice but to set fire to temporarily block the advance of the ban.

However, almost at the same time that he used the fire to stop Yu Ban's Qingzhou army, at the side gate on the other side, Cao Ang led a mighty army to kill him.

"Kill Zhang Xun and tear the earth to seal the marquis!"

With a burst of shouts and killing, Cao Ang led the army straight to the main gate, and beside him, Cao Jun's army followed one after another, forcibly tearing a gap.

Seeing that the city wall had been lost, Zhang Xun also began to order the army to withdraw from the city wall, and under the cover of all the way, he planned to withdraw his troops from the other city gates.

It was also at this time that a black-red figure on the battlefield began to gallop like lightning, it was the Chitu BMW!

I saw Lu Bu riding first, and many foot soldiers behind him followed one after another, and rushed towards Zhang Xun one step ahead.

"Zhang Xun is gone, stay behind!"

The speed of the Chitu BMW was fast, and only a red figure could be seen on this battlefield, and with Lu Bu passing by, only a lot of screams were heard.

Seeing this, Liu Bei, who was beside Cao Ang, also beat his horse at this time, leaving Cao Ang and hurriedly walking up with three thousand soldiers.

I don't know if he was intentional or unintentional, these three thousand soldiers didn't move very fast, almost after all the soldiers led by Lu Bu followed Zhang Xun, he came back.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi, who was always thinking of Liu Bei on the side, immediately prepared to follow, but it was at this time that a remnant of Cao Cao's frontal battlefield that had been delayed also broke through and came straight to Cao Ang's side.

Seeing this, Cao Ang did not hesitate, and after shouting, he immediately responded.

"Gao Shun! Trap the camp and line up, and hold the overall situation of the main gate! ”

After hearing such words, Gao Shun, who originally planned to pursue Zhang Xun, could only obey the command for the sake of the overall situation on the battlefield.

Seeing that the trapped camp couldn't pull away, Lu Lingqi also bit her lip at this time, and then made up her mind, and took Zhang Liao and a few cronies around him to chase directly from the rear.

Cao Ang on the side looked at such a scene, although his eyes showed simplicity, but more firm.

On this chaotic battlefield, after seeing him give Xiahou Chong a look, Xiahou Chong immediately took three thousand soldiers and horses to make a detour and ran to the only one that was still struggling to support the north gate.

In this situation where Cao Ang and Yu Ban broke through the two doors on the flanks at the same time, and the pressure on the main gate was also huge, the north gate was Zhang Xun's only way to retreat.

Not only Zhang Xun will come here, but Lu Bu and Liu Bei, who are chasing Zhang Xun, will also come to this place.

And unlike these people who rushed to attack in a hurry, it was impossible to have any advance arrangements, if Xiahou Chong had arranged a complete ambush there in advance, no matter who came, there would never be a way out!

After Xiahou Chong led 3,000 soldiers to leave, Cao Cao, who was on the battlefield at the main gate, suddenly replaced Le Jin, who commanded and dispatched on the frontal battlefield, and let Xiahou Yuan replace him.

Such a change of defense not only gave Lejin's soldiers retreated one after another, but also gave the defenders at the main gate a chance to breathe.

The defenders of the main gate saw that there was a gap in the Cao army temporarily, and at this time, after the commander withdrew, they no longer thought about stationing at the main gate.

Almost all the defenders descended the city wall and joined him in the place where Zhang Xun had run.

Seeing this, Cao Ang didn't seem to want them to evacuate at this time, so he directly ordered Gao Shun to advance carefully.

In this way, in this section of the road leading to the northern city wall, Cao Ang and Xiahou Chong surrounded Zhang Xun's army in front and back.

And Zhang Xun's army also surrounded Lu Bu and Liu Bei before and after.

It's just that Zhang Xun didn't know that he had been surrounded, and he didn't know that his army had surrounded Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

Among them, Lu Bu and Liu Bei are even more obsessed with the authorities, and they don't know the situation in the rear at all, in the hearts of these two people, only Zhang Xun, who represents the land of the East China Sea, and their sworn enemy.

The main gate leads to the north gate, there is an extremely slender but rather narrow road with high strength on both sides, and Zhang Xun took this road.

Not only because this road is fast, but also because there is a danger that this road will not be opened, the cavalry cannot rush in, and the foot soldiers cannot break through.

Unless the soldiers behind him die, there can be no danger to himself!

Just as he was about to evacuate in a hurry, the shouts of killing in the rear became quieter and quieter, and a soldier hurriedly came in confusion and told him something.

"General Qiyu, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are fighting in our rear!"
