Cao Ren asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

The soldiers went to inspect it, and came back after a while.

"It's a team of white horse cavalry from the Qingzhou Army who came to patrol."

"Say Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun has arrived. This white horse cavalry was led by Zhao Yun. ”

Cao Hong put down the dishes and chopsticks: "You can't raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, you help me shout and cheer, and watch me fight Zhao Yun." ”

Cao Ren couldn't persuade him, so he could only go by Cao Hong, Cao Ren just arranged: "If you are defeated, hurry back quickly, Zhao Yun's martial arts are good." ”

Cao Hong was willing to listen, turned over and got on his horse, and went out with a knife.

Outside, Zhao Yun led a thousand cavalry to patrol to prevent the enemy from escaping, but he didn't expect to see the west gate open, rushing out a thousand cavalry, leading a general with a big knife, pointing at Zhao Yun and shouting: "Will you dare to fight?" ”

Zhao Yun stopped the war horse and shook the spear in his hand: "Let the horse come." ”

The soldiers on both sides lit torches to light up the battlefield, and the two men raised their swords and guns together, fighting together.

Cao Hongna is also the leader of the elite cavalry, and the long knife in his hand also has some skills, and he brushes it as soon as he comes up, and the big knife slashes around Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's spear was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to fight back, and he had been in a dozen rounds, figuring out Cao Hong's path, and this was the start.

The spear nodded like a golden rooster, tuk tuk, flying up and down.

In just a dozen rounds, Cao Hong, who was pierced, was sweating, this gun was ghostly, I didn't know where the next shot would be, and if I lost my heart, there was no way to fight this battle.

Cao Hong turned around and ran, and Zhao Yun laughed: "Slow down, I ran in the wrong direction." ”

The adjutant general reminded Zhao Yun: "He seems to have gone to find Xiahou and them?" ”

"Leave him alone for now, let's find a place to rest."

The Rangers are the hardest of all, they don't even have a fixed camp, they can be said to be trapped in the saddle bridge, thirsty for blood.

When Cao Hong came back, it was already the middle of the night, and Xiahoudun hadn't slept yet, and was watching under the oil lamp with the feather arrows of the Qingzhou Army.

"Zilian, don't you see if this arrow shaft is a little strange, it's too straight, it doesn't look like it was cut out by hand."

Cao Hong took a look at it: "It is indeed too straight, as if it was made by a special tool, not by hand." ”

"You're still studying arrows here, I almost made them tie into sugar gourds."

Xiahoudun looked up at Cao Hong: "What, did you meet Zhang Liao?" No, your knife technique is not given for nothing. ”

"It's true, I'm glad I ran fast, otherwise I would have had to eat. I met a nobody, called Zhao Yun, this Zhao Yun's marksmanship is elusive, fast and scary, if it weren't for me running fast, you wouldn't be able to see me. ”

Xiahoudun comforted Cao Hong: "Next time I meet Zhao Yun, I'll help you get back to the field." ”

"That's great, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat it."

Xiahoudun beckoned, called a tun chief, and handed him a handwritten letter and a few arrows.

"Send it to Xuchang as soon as possible and hand it over to the prime minister."

"Yes."

Xiahoudun claimed that he had never won a war, and he had never stopped being promoted. In addition to being good at martial arts, he is far-sighted, and when he saw that the style of Qingzhou Army's feather arrows had changed, he immediately reported it to Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to respond.

Xiahoudun asked Cao Hong again: "By the way, have you seen Cao Ren?" How is Chen Liucheng? ”

"Seeing it, Zixiao invited me to a meal, and just happened to meet Zhao Yun, so I came out to challenge, who knew that I was defeated, and I ran back. The city is fine, there is no attack, 10,000 soldiers, 10,000 strong men, it is no problem to hold on for a while. ”

Xiahoudun pondered for a moment: "Let's divide the troops tomorrow, you lead more than 2,000 cavalry to wander around, this is our territory, don't worry about baggage." I continued to lead the infantry steadily, slowly moving forward. Let Zhang Liao not be able to concentrate on attacking the city, as long as it takes a few days, I believe that the prime minister's second-way reinforcements will arrive. ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Liao raised his tent to order a large number of troops, and even Zhao Yun, who had been wandering around, came back.

Zhang Liao sat in the center, the military advisor Yu Ban, and other generals were there.

Zhang Liaolang said: "In yesterday's battle, more than 5,000 enemy troops were annihilated and more than 1,000 prisoners were captured, and the battle achieved a phased victory. But the battle has just begun, and Xiahoudun will be more careful that he will not make the same two mistakes. Zhao Xianxian, you can report on the changes in the enemy. ”

"Before dawn today, Cao Hong led two thousand elite cavalry to break away from the brigade and move around, and there was a lot of contact with my White Horse Battalion, and there were casualties among each other. As for the infantry led by Xiahoudun, there has been no action for the time being. ”

Zhang Liao nodded, looking at Yu Ban and Xu Rong.

Xu Rong proposed: "Xiahoudun doesn't want to die in a war, even a few thousand infantry can't be taken lightly, the surrounding area is their territory, and Xiahoudun may be supplied at any time." I am willing to lead my cavalry to keep an eye on them. ”

"Okay, General Xu is cautious."

Zhao Yun stared at Cao Hong, and Xu Rong stared at Xiahoudun.

Zhang Liao is going to storm Chen Liucheng today, the east gate of Chen Liucheng.

The drums of war sounded again, and the trumpets filled the sky.

Cao Ren frowned at the head of the city, it seemed that this was Zhang Liao's real.

I saw that the Qingzhou army pushed hundreds of shield carts forward first, and the ten wheelbarrows behind were densely packed with them, I don't know what they were.

Behind it are the ladder cart and the Wenhou chariot pushed by the sword and shield soldiers.

This sea of chariots looks painful.

Cao Ren ordered the strong men on the city wall to boil the golden soup quickly, and there was a disgusting smell everywhere.

There was a dead silence in the city, and the strong men helped defend the city.

Ordinary people hide in their homes one by one, and the women have their faces smeared with pot ashes.

Under the banner of Daxu, Zhang Liao waved the flag.

The shirtless drummer slowly beat the huge cowhide war drum.

The shield car in front of it started first and moved forward slowly.

The ballista carts at the head of the city sent out sharp arrows from afar, some of which pierced the shield chariots far away, and the thick arrows pierced several soldiers.

Unmoved, the siege party continued to advance rapidly, until it reached about one hundred and fifty meters, when ten strange-looking carts raised their heads, and the soldiers behind them lit them with torches.

I saw the flaming bird-shaped rockets on the trolley rushing towards the city, swishing, banging.

Some exploded on the city wall, and some exploded in the city wall, sparks splashed everywhere, quickly igniting the combustible.

Ten carts are about a thousand rockets, called Divine Fire Crows, this is the first stunning appearance of firearms, and the loud sound frightens the defenders of the city. The ladder cart came up, and the archers took cover, and forcefully suppressed the archers at the head of the city.

The ladder was erected at the top of the city, and hundreds of soldiers swooped down.

Guan Cheng was shirtless, carrying a ghost-headed knife as a dead soldier, and was the first to attack the city tower.

Cao Ren's voice was hoarse, but the army was frightened by the Divine Fire Crow.
