Not long after Zang Ba stopped Xiahoudun between Puyang and Zhencheng, White Horse City was lost.

The Black Mountain Army, which crossed the Yellow River by detouring through Liyang, just caught the artillery of General Shenwu transported from the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Lu Bu didn't say a word, he directly rushed to White Horse City with the general's cannon, and knocked out a big gap in White Horse City with three strikes and five divisions, and then the 30,000 Black Mountain Army rushed into the city like wolves that had not seen meat for a long time, and captured the 10,000 Cao troops defending the city.

Lu Qian was originally going to set a fire and burn the grain and grass in White Horse City, but the shadow team members who were quietly put into the city by Wei Zhen turned to the ground with drugs. Wei Zhen played a bitter trick, deliberately being beaten by the Shadow Crew, with a blue nose and swollen face, and when the White Horse City was broken, he took 5,000 soldiers out of the south gate and fled in the direction of Chen Liu.

After capturing the white horse, Lu Bu ordered the 5,000 Xiongwu army escorting the Shenwu general's cannon to defend in situ, and he personally rushed to Puyang with 30,000 Montenegrin troops, and joined the Pang De army who had arrived in Puyang in advance, and surrounded Puyang City, which was now only defended by 25,000 people.

Cheng Yu's promise to Xiahoudun was to ensure that Puyang would not be lost before the Shenwu General Cannon arrived at Puyang City. Now, Lu Bu personally came to Puyang with the Shenwu General Cannon, even though Cheng Yu has great ability, he can't reverse the overall situation of this battle.

With the sound of "booming" cannons, the 25,000 soldiers of Zhu Jun's old army guarding the city finally appreciated the tremendous pressure on the brothers of the Southern Army who defended Yecheng some time ago. At this time, no one in them doubted whether the brothers who stayed in Yecheng that day were greedy for life and afraid of death. In the face of such an unimaginable threat as the Shenwu General Cannon, as long as he is a flesh-and-blood person, he will feel powerless.

Puyang City was breached without any suspense, and the ensuing siege battle was nothing new, just a constant stream of deaths. The defenders in the city, who no longer had the will to fight, were under the combined attack of the wolf-like Xiongwu Army and the Black Mountain Army, and they should have exerted eighty percent of their combat power, but now they are less than thirty percent. The fierce street fighting that Lü Bu had expected was actually not fierce at all, and less than an hour after the soldiers of the Xiongwu Army and the Black Mountain Army rushed into the city, Puyang City was declared to have changed hands.

The sound of General Shenwu's cannon firing was very loud, even the Xiahou army dozens of miles away could hear it clearly, but they knew that Puyang was surrounded by the night, but they could only be as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Although Zang Ba really wanted to take the Blue Wolf Army to kill the Quartet, he was not in a hurry. As long as Xiahoudun realized that he was in danger and was ready to flee, he could command his brothers to tear Xiahoudun's troops apart one by one like wolves hunting on the grassland, until all the other party's 60,000 troops were buried on the fleeing road.

Xiahoudun naturally knew what Zang Ba, who was not far from him, had in mind, but at this time, he didn't dare to have even the slightest bit of ambition. If Xiahoudun was as calm as Xiahou Shang on the bank of the Yellow River, he would bite his teeth and glare, and he would take his brothers to fight with the Blue Wolf Army, but he was afraid that he would break his leg in the end, and he would not be able to touch a tail of the Blue Wolf Army.

There are only two roads left for Xiahoudun now, one is to prepare to fight for his life with Lu Bu's army, and the other is to hope that Cao Renjun, who is stationed in the southwest of Dayozawa, can get rid of Gao Shun's entanglement and rush to Zhencheng in time to meet him to break through.

The first way is no different from suicide, but the death is more tragic, and you can also pull some cushions when you are dying. The second way, it's hard to say that it will be successful, but if Cao Ren, who rushed to the rescue, was also blocked from retreating, and Gao Shun copied it from Juye Zedong bread in time, then it would be a lot of fun this time.

Xiahoudun even thought about it, so he left 20,000 brothers to stop the blue wolf army, and he crossed the Yellow River with 40,000 troops, went straight to Yecheng, recaptured Yecheng, and made an earth-shattering counterattack. However, unless he is cornered, Xiahoudun will not easily take this step. The counterattack on Yecheng sounds very tempting, but once Xiahoudun crosses the Yellow River to the north, it is equivalent to putting his troops in the lair of the Jin army, and he will not get the slightest supply, and he will face the encirclement and pursuit of the Jin State at any time.

Just when Xiahoudun was blocked by the blue wolf army in the area of Zhencheng and did not dare to move, the messenger sent to the Cheng clan to ask Cao Ren for help finally arrived. Cao Ren was also very anxious when he learned that Puyang was in danger of being lost, and that Xiahoudun's troops had been cut off by the Blue Wolf Army to retreat west and south.

The main force defending Yanzhou was Xiahoudun on the north road and Cao Ren on the east road, and now they were all restrained by their respective opponents. Cao Ren wanted to lead his army north to Zhencheng to rescue the trapped Xiahoudun, but he was worried that if his side moved, the Donglai Army and the Flying Tiger Army east of Juye Ze would follow. In particular, the Flying Tiger Army led by Dian Wei had a super mobile ability, and once they found that Cao Ren's troops began to move, they were likely to catch up from a distance, leaving many fatal wounds on the mountains of Cao Ren's army.

After some urgent deliberation, Cao Ren finally decided to lead 50,000 troops to rescue Xiahoudun, and the remaining 20,000 people were left to Li Dian to command, pretending that there were still 70,000 troops left behind to guard the Cheng clan, fooling Gao Shun to the east of Juye Ze and not daring to attack.

As soon as Cao Ren's army left Chengshi, the sentinel in charge of reconnaissance immediately went down to Junoze overnight and took a wooden boat to Juye Castle to report to Gao Shun, who was stationed there. After receiving the report of the secret agent, Gao Shun immediately contacted the headquarters of the Eastern Route Army and asked for instructions to send troops to attack the Li Dian Department who was left behind.

In the joint headquarters of the Eastern Route Army stationed in Ningyang, after Zhao Yun saw the urgent letter sent by Gao Shun, he immediately said to Dian Wei: "Meng Xiao, this time it is the turn of the Flying Tiger Army to attack! Cao Ren led 50,000 elites to Zhencheng to rescue the trapped Xiahoudun, and you will lead the 20,000 Flying Tiger Army to follow Cao Ren's back road, and when the time comes, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's troops will be in a pot!"

Dian Wei was not in a hurry, he asked Zhao Yun, "Which army is trapping Xiahoudun? If the Flying Tiger Army only goes, it may not be able to completely trap Cao Ren's 50,000 elites." ”

Zhao Yun then explained to Dian Wei with a smile: "It's the old brother of the Flying Tiger Army who trapped Xiahoudun, the Blue Wolf Army! Lu Fengxian himself is leading the Black Mountain Army and the Xiongwu Army to besiege Puyang, as long as you rush over and cut off Cao Ren's back road, you can have a pot of shabu this time!"
