At this moment, General Cao Jun was captured alive, and his momentum had already plummeted. Once Xu Huang was overthrown, this battle of defeating the strong with the weak would definitely remain in history.

Seeing that the main general Liu Xuwei was unstoppable, they charged into the enemy group single-handedly, as if entering an uninhabited land, wielding a sharp sword with only one hand, they killed soldiers when they encountered soldiers, and killed generals when they encountered generals. stand up.

Kill the Quartet, I am invincible.

"Clang clang..."

The shock was endless, and the sounds of killing, screaming, mourning, and roaring were intertwined. The timid people in the field were also infected by this kind of death-defying battle. They rushed forward desperately, wanting to return the favor .

"Dong dong dong..."

The battle drums in front of the rear phalanx and on the top of the city are cheering for the soldiers. With the excitement of the drums, the blood of the soldiers is burned.

The blood and fighting will of tens of thousands of people condensed into a single wave, faintly scattered on this battlefield, and turned into an independent war world, like a slaughterhouse in hell.

The sounds of "噗噗" and "咔嚓" can be heard endlessly, it is the sound of the spear penetrating into the flesh and blood of the horse's belly and the sound of being broken by a huge force.

The knights on the horse were screaming, and the spearmen on the ground were also screaming, people turned on their backs, blood spattered everywhere.

"Who's here?"

Seeing Liu Xu approaching, Xu Huang couldn't help shouting and asking.

"Liu Xu, whose name is Fengzhang! Xu who shines in the world on nine days!"

An angry shout nearly shattered the liver and gall in the chests of the surrounding soldiers. Xu Huang was terrified, and before he could react, Liu Xu had already killed him.

Then, then... there is no more...

After ten rounds, Xu Huang fell and was decapitated by Liu Xu.

Both vanguard generals fell into the hands of Liu Xu, Cao Jun was in chaos, there was no formation at all, and there were countless casualties.

At this moment, Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy. The vanguard general was not there, and the vanguard army was a mess, with pitifully low combat effectiveness.

However, he could not order the troops to retreat now, because once they retreated, the casualties would be even more severe.

The vanguard troops are all elite, fighting for bravery and momentum, so as to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the rear, so the first hard-to-hard confrontation is almost an endless situation.

Therefore, Lao Cao had no choice but to send new generals to control the situation.

However, after experiencing Liu Xu's bravery, none of them dared to step forward, for fear that Liu Xu would find a chance.

The scope of the battlefield was expanding, and more and more people fell. In less than half an hour, Cao Jun lost at least half of his troops.

"Kill kill kill kill..."

Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed everywhere.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the corpse of the partner was trampled mercilessly like a piece of rag, and people kept falling down, becoming trampled corpses.

This kind of scene is simply close to death!

The soldiers watching the battle from the rear were shocked, but they all had a kind of generosity in their hearts, the urge to kill the enemy,

This is the soul of the army, where the will of the soldier lies.

Chapter 988 Siege

……

"My lord, the enemy's generals are too brave, and our troops have the advantage. Why don't we go all out to destroy this vanguard army outside the city!" Xun Yu, a military adviser, advised Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, looked at the situation on the battlefield ahead, nodded and said: "Okay, this vanguard army is here to resist, it is to hinder the morale of our army, and we cannot conquer the city in one go. In this case, let's encircle and wipe out the opponent's survivors. Troop strength, especially the vanguard general!"

"Cao Hong and Zhang Jaw listened to the order, quickly led [-] cavalry and rushed out from the left, obliquely inserted behind the left rear of the enemy's vanguard, so that the enemy's front and back could not look at each other, and the formation was disrupted and chaotic!"

Cao Hong and Zhang Jai clasped their hands on their horsebacks and said, "The last general has orders!"

Immediately, they pulled out their horses and attracted [-] elite soldiers, including [-] cavalry, [-] infantry soldiers, and [-] archers.

Cao Cao then ordered: "Xiahoudun listened to the order, quickly led [-] cavalry, charged out from the right, went around to the right rear of the enemy's vanguard, intercepted the opponent's retreat, and waited for the enemy's vanguard to be defeated, then surrounded and executed!"

Xiahou Dun went out, and after accepting his orders, he counted the men and horses, rushed out from the right flank, and outflanked the enemy's right rear.

"Other generals, prepare to attack the city at any time!"

"Order!"

All the generals around agreed coquettishly.

The battlefield on the first defensive line has become incandescent. Both sides have invested 6 elite soldiers and 3 horses to fight, and now there are only less than [-] people left.

More than 3 people have been killed or injured, corpses are strewn all over the ground, blood flows into rivers, the smell of blood is disgusting, and half of the sky seems to be stained with blood.

Without the obstruction of the archers, the left army led by Cao Hong's jaws had arrived in an instant.

The hooves of the thousand cavalry in front were like thunder, and they inserted into the enemy's left flank with incomparable speed. The blood that was flying in the air has not yet landed.

Their horseshoes had already trampled on the ground mercilessly the enemy soldiers who didn't know there was an attacker in the melee, and there was the dull popping sound of spears and halberds piercing through armor and human flesh and bones, and the soldiers' screams of despair.

Tao Qian and a group of generals stood on the tower above the main gate of Pengcheng, and they couldn't help but change color when they saw the murderous aura soaring outside the city.

Tao Qian looked at Guo Jia, saw that he was still smiling, and was puzzled, so he couldn't help asking: "Now that Cao's army is aggressively attacking, what good strategy does the military master have?"

Guo Jia said with a low smile: "Cao Cao has a strong army. This time he attacked the city, he wanted to consume us to death. He sent vanguards to fight the battle first. He wanted to offset the enemy's strength. The same sharp reduction is very beneficial to the enemy. But Fengzhang Bravery, completely led the balance of victory to our side. Second, after Cao Cao conquered the first line of defense, his troops were damaged, but he would never retreat and reorganize the army. Instead, he would take the opportunity to attack the city, so that our army just defended the city. If the fierce battle continues, Cao Cao's troops will decrease sharply. Hold today, and wait for the opponent to attack the city tomorrow. He will definitely dispatch all his troops and leave the rear empty. The morale of the army is in turmoil, and they will retreat without fighting, and when the time comes, send a large army to ambush in the valley on the right, and Cao Cao's troops will be wiped out."

Tao Qian clapped his hands and said: "This plan is ingenious. The military adviser is really a strange person in the world. I have such high-level people in Xuzhou to help each other, so why not worry about the big thing failing!"

Guo Jia smiled and looked at the current situation, so he said: "Cao Cao has dispatched two wings of raiders, it is time to order the withdrawal of troops, and let the second wave of defenders prepare to fight under the city."

"Okay, come here, beat the drums, Jin Ming withdraws!"

Tao Qian passed down the military order according to Guo Jia's words.

The drum was beaten three times, the gong rang loudly, and the heralds outside the city rushed out to convey the order to withdraw the troops.

The military order was like a mountain, Liu Xu immediately rode his horse and raised his whip, and rushed to attack the army behind him, taking the lead, as if entering a land without people.

The Cao army on the front line, together with the troops dispatched in several waves before and after, are now less than half injured.

Cao Cao saw that the time was right to attack the city, he waved his arms and shouted: "General Dian obeys the order and leads [-] troops to attack the city from all directions."

The main wall of Pengcheng Wall is three feet high, and there is an auxiliary wall on the main wall, and brick stacks are built on the auxiliary wall. The crenels between the brick stacks are the lookout holes and shooting ports for the guards.

There are also majestic city towers, turrets and watchtowers on the city wall, standing at intervals. The roof of the tower is in the style of double eaves and nine ridges, surrounded by colonnades outside, and next to the horse road.

"kill!"

Cao Jun roared under the city, the cavalry opened the way, and the siege vehicles, towers, folding bridges, climbing ladders, and rushing vehicles all rushed forward.

The archers and crossbowmen below kept firing towards the top of the city, and the men and horses carrying the ladders and siege chariots moved forward like covering the tide, and instantly climbed up densely like ants, and the black masses were full of human heads and sharp soldiers. Blade silver light.

"Shoot it down and kill me!"

Xu Jun's general, Zang Ba, hid behind the crenels of the city wall, wielding his sword, and ordered to strengthen the counterattack.

Looking from afar, people who had climbed halfway kept falling to the top of the city, turning into bloody corpses. Broken ladders and burning siege chariots were scattered everywhere.

Above and below the city, flags are flying.

Some soldiers of Xu Jun at the top of the city were busy carrying equipment, walking and shooting arrows, holding hooks and sickles to push away ladders, and throwing rolling wood and stones down the city. The elite Cao Jun, who was not afraid of death, continued to climb the top of the city, and turned into a pile of meat sauce after a round of counterattacks.

At the gate of the city, a huge and strong door-ramming cart rushed towards the gate with the support of dozens of Shu soldiers, and its sharp end, which was more than ten feet long, hit the thick and strong gate.

A fan-shaped roof guard is installed on the door-ramming car, and the soldiers below cannot be hurt by stones hitting it or bows and arrows shooting it up.

After a short confrontation, there was a pile of dead bodies under the city wall.

The blood is soaring, and the murderous aura is condensed.

A strong masculine and bloody aura swept across the entire space for several miles, like a lone soul roaring in the sky above Pengcheng, like a cloud of blood.

"Soldiers, be more violent and charge upwards!"

Cao Hong and Zhang Jai were in charge of leading troops to attack the left city wall, Xiahou Dun was in charge of leading troops to attack the right city wall, Dian Wei and others led troops to attack the city gate, and organized archers to counterattack upwards to cover.

……

Chapter 989

……

Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others were riding three hundred paces away, watching the battle intently. The violent impact of the charging car lifted the hearts of the people behind them. As long as they can break through the city gate, the battle is [-]% sure It's broken.

At this time, more than a dozen clay pots were thrown from the top of the city wall, and smashed to pieces on the roof of the crash vehicle.

Immediately, Xu Jun's soldiers threw several torches, and the whole crashing vehicle burst into flames with a bang.

Cao Bing, who had been splashed with oil on their bodies, was wearing civilian clothes and their armor was of poor quality. They turned into people of fire in an instant, screaming and rolling all over the ground, trying to put out the flames.

Under the fire, another car crashed into the city behind without hesitation and rushed to the top, intending to follow the fire and smash the city gate open.

The soldiers who climbed up the city wall wielding their knives and holding up their shields fought with Xu Bing at the top of the city. Without even blinking an eye, the soldiers on the top fell down like overcooked grapes, bloody and bloody. , Can not tell which side of the soldier's body.

War is cruel. Although men regard the battlefield as a good place to make achievements, once the generals are successful, the rise of a general has to step on countless corpses and go through life and death.

On the tower, Tao Qian and the others took a back seat. Behind the layers of shields, they watched the battle below the city through the gaps. They were also a little excited. After all, they had never encountered such a large-scale killing battlefield.

Guo Jia's eyes turned cold, he carefully considered the current situation, pointed to the front and said: "Send all the troops in the city, bite the main force of the enemy army, and beat me hard, no matter what, let Cao Cao mistakenly think that we sent all the troops. Troops! Then send scouts out from the west gate to notify the ambushes in the canyon that they are going to sneak attack the enemy's food and grass in the rear. This battle will end with a complete victory and defeat Cao Cao's army."

"Oh, don't wait for tomorrow's sneak attack?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "No need, soldiers are precious and fast, and they can't change. At this time, Cao Cao has sent all the main forces to attack the city. I'm afraid the rear troops will also be lost, and they can't retreat for a while. It's just right to burn the food and grass in the rear first. It will cause the troops on the front line to be in a state of confusion, and they will definitely lose at that time... However, we must make a quick decision and burn the enemy's food and grass as soon as possible. Once the time is too long and Pengcheng is destroyed, everything... will fall short!"

Tao Qian's old eyes lit up, and he said to the generals beside him, "Why don't you follow the advice of the military advisor?"

"The end will be ordered!"

Two partial will come out.

"No! Let me go!"

Liu Xu wiped the blood off his face and squeezed up from the tower.

"Feng Zhang, you just had a fierce battle, do you still have the strength?" Tao Qian looked at him with some concern.

"It's okay! It's okay to fight for [-] rounds! I don't worry if someone else goes!"
