Cheng Yu didn't know that the sappers were powerful, and there was a problem ahead when he was stunned.

The 3,000 people behind Cao Xuan were not ordinary soldiers, but the main force of the Tiger Guard.

Xu Chu was afraid of scaring Cheng Yu away, so he hid in the crowd before the war.

During the war, he carried a sword and jumped in front of the horse, leading the Tiger Guard brothers to kill people and seize horses.

Almost one knife resulted in one, and the combat effectiveness was so strong that Cao Jun was shocked.

This. How can it be?

Cheng Yu finally knew why Zhang Liao was defeated, why Xiahoudun was blind, and Long Xiang's army was indeed terrifyingly strong, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

"Retreat, retreat, return to Linying."

It's easy to shout to retreat, but it's hard to move.

There is Long Xiang on the left, Tai Shici on the right, and Xu Chu is behind to cover up.

The three giants are strong, the army of 10,000 people advances and retreats, and if you want to escape, you have to run desperately, and the formation is chaotic after turning around.

Cheng Yu was even more embarrassed than guarding Yanzhou at this time, he wanted to cut Liwei to restrain everyone to maintain the formation, but his desire to survive was uncontrollable.

The shouts of the fight were deafening, and there was no way to control the situation.

Seeing that the wood had been completed, Cheng Yu could only go with the flow to Linying, he hoped to defend the city like Yanzhou, and then move troops to Cao Cao.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, the Lishui Battlefield is only thirty miles away from Linying, and you can escape back in a few hours.

But even so, Cheng Yu also paid a huge price, losing 3,000 athletes under his command on the way to escape, and Long Xiang followed closely behind to besiege Linying City.

By personally fighting Long Xiang, Cheng Yu was sure that the other party could plan and use troops, and Xu Du's situation should be worse than imagined.

Therefore, after Cheng Yu entered the city, he immediately selected the dead to break out of the city, and planned to send the situation intercepted during this period of time to the front line in Jingzhou to report to Cao Cao.

It's a pity that Long Xiang has a clairvoyant mirror to monitor, no matter whether he chooses to break through the siege day or night, he will either be killed or captured in the end, and sent to the city to show off his might to Cheng Yu.

Long Xiang intended to lure Cao Cao back to help, and the soldiers he captured who broke through the siege were deliberately made for Cheng Yu to see, and he would find a way to let some go after the scene, this move was to put pressure on the Linying defenders and make the people in the city feel desperate and panicked.

Two days later, Long Xiang repeated his old skills and sent craftsmen to work again to close the gate of Linying.

Cheng Yu stood in the city and watched, knowing what the other party was doing, but he was powerless to stop it.

The dignified general Cao Ying, Cheng Yu's mood at that time was like waiting for a long time in bed, but it was useless to take blue pills, and the words were still immortal, so he could only let Huang Mao enter the master bedroom.

It's a shame, but Cheng Yu didn't forget to say ruthless words to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

"Long Xiang, you don't have to be complacent, even if the door is closed, what can you do to me? When the prime minister's army returns, you will die without a place to be buried. ”

"I have no place to die? Hahaha"

Long Xiang couldn't help laughing loudly, and ridiculed the city: "When I seal all the cities in the Central Plains, the bottom of the kettle will cut off Cao Cao's grain road, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou, if you don't mutiny, even if you don't mutiny, your Excellency is not worried about Long, it is better to think about yourself first, your situation is not good"

Seal off all the cities in the Central Plains? Cheng Yu's originally stable heart suddenly panicked.

The craftsmen under the city are so skilled in masonry, if Long Xiang is given enough time to make trouble, he may really be able to seal the Central Plains City.

The most hateful is Long Xiang's besieging soldiers, how did Ren Chengyu send the dead to break through and deliver the message, and the last one was captured by the other party.

Long Xiang, this guy, didn't he open the eyes of the sky?

was already three feet high in his heart, but Cheng Yu couldn't move in order to stabilize the army's morale, so he responded with a strong pretense.

"Hugh wants to shake the hearts of our army, there is enough grain and grass in Linying City, and there is no problem in guarding it for a year and a half, Cao Xingyuan next to you is under the command of Lu Bu, you can ask if I Cheng Yu will be intimidated by the sneak attack on Yanzhou back then?"

"Heh, it's good that you didn't mention Yanzhou, but now that you have taken the initiative to mention it, have you forgotten what happened back then?"

Long Xiang stopped halfway through the conversation and smiled ghostly, and then asked meaningfully: "How much meat did you eat from your fellow villagers back then?"

"Long Yunqi, you bastard!"

Cheng Yu was angry to stop Long Xiang, that incident was a nightmare he hid in his heart, although he helped Cao Cao win the war, he was stigmatized because of it.

Seeing that Cheng Yu was angry, Long Xiang said that it would be easy for the old guy to have a weakness, so he smiled evilly and began to persuade him to surrender.

"If I spread the general's great achievements throughout Linying through various methods, how should Your Excellency deal with it? It is better to dedicate the city to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and help Long to take down Xu Du to rescue the Son of Heaven, and then it will not end well. ”

"Want to threaten me? You despicable thief, who is Cheng Yu? ”

"Who are you?"

Seeing that Cheng Yu's oil and salt did not enter, Long Xiang spread his hands and replied contemptuously: "It's nothing more than a man-eating beast, and now he is a turtle in an urn, and he dares to be presumptuous in front of me?" ”

"You"

Cheng Yu was so stunned that his beard flew up, and he covered his chest with one hand and panted sharply.

Long Xiang glanced contemptuously at the city, then turned to Tai Shici and explained loudly.

"Ziyi, since Cheng Yu doesn't know the current affairs, then you can help him publicize it well, this guy even eats the meat of his fellow villagers in Yanzhou, and the soldiers and civilians of Linying are even more grass in his eyes, if the city really comes to the day of food shortage, I don't know how many living people will be eaten, alas. Iniquity"

"Long Xiang, you are shameless."

Without waiting for Tai Shici to respond, Cheng Yu, who was emotionally broken, rushed to scold first, but at this time, Long Xiang didn't pay attention to it at all, turned around and left the city gate.

defeated Xiahoudun first, then defeated Cheng Yu, and then blocked the road and cut off the grain road.

Long Xiang's actions in the Central Plains are not small, he thinks that Cao Cao will return in person if he knows the details, at this time the army can not all stop at Linying, and must prevent the Xudu garrison from jumping off the wall in a hurry.

If tens of thousands of garrisons climbed over the wall, Hao Meng's battalion of soldiers and horses would not be able to stop them.

Long Xiang had to pay attention to Xu Du, after all, that was where Cao Cao's central vein was located.

As for the threat to Cheng Yu just now, saying that he would seal all the cities in the Central Plains, it was an exaggerated statement to scare the other party.

There is not much cement brought from Huainan, at most one or two small cities will be blocked, and the accompanying cargo ships must be prepared to evacuate, and they cannot easily return to Huainan to replenish their goods.

In addition, whether it is quarrying or masonry, each process is heavy physical work, and the craftsmen are too heavy to continue to lock down the city during this time.

When the closure of Linying was completed, Long Xiang left Tai Shici with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered him to be stationed outside the city to keep an eye on Cheng Yu, and asked to loudly publicize the defenders every day and torture Cheng Yu mentally.

Long Xiang led the rest of the troops to continue to seal the city and return to Xudu, and made arrangements for retreat in advance.

If hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers return to the Central Plains, Long Xiang's soldiers are not enough to stuff their teeth, so it is better to consider retreating as soon as possible.

Long Xiang revealed that this move was too ruthless, thousands of people shouted at the defenders, Cheng Yu couldn't stop the sound from entering his ears, the people on the street immediately closed their doors, and the recruits in the army looked at themselves strangely.

Outside the city, Tai Shi Ci is eyeing the tiger, Cheng Yu is staying in Linying for a long time, and the most hateful news can't come in or get out.

Even in such desperation, Cheng Yu insisted on sending the dead to break through and deliver the message.

Tai Shi Ci followed Long Xiang's example of catching first and then releasing it, and he knew that the more panicked Cheng Yu's side became, the easier it would be for Cao Cao's side to withdraw his troops from Jingzhou.

Cheng Yu was trapped in Linying and isolated from the world, and often dreamed of his fellow villagers who were made of dried meat at night, and his mental state was extremely poor when he had many nightmares, and he often appeared in front of people with bloodshot eyes, which made others fearful.

One day in April, Linying had plenty of food.

Cheng Yu was killed in his sleep, and his body was reportedly cut into 10,000 pieces and fed to wild dogs and other animals in the city.

Linying County ordered the investigation of this murder case for a long time, but the murderer was not found until Cao Cao's class passed by, and finally it was over.
