The battle on Duyang City became even more fierce.
There are only more than a thousand infantrymen left out of the three thousand, and there are also more than a thousand Xiliang soldiers left.
Cao's army below the city was filled with darkness and they swarmed up to the city.
Jia Xu looked at Cao's army who was attacking crazily below the city. He expected that the opponent had seen through Zhang Xiu's plan and knew that Cao's army was going to destroy the city in one go.
At this time, Jia Xu's heart was shaken.
If Kaicheng surrenders now, it is not too late. If we wait until the city is broken, there may be no way to survive.
But for some reason, Zhang Xiu's leering gaze and that submissive voice appeared in his mind. This look and voice suppressed the idea of surrender in his heart.
I said encouragingly from the bottom of my heart: 'Keep on holding on. '
Thinking to cheer himself up, Jia Xu inadvertently looked outside the city, and his heartbeat was suddenly shocked by a huge black flag.
That is Cao Cao's handsome flag.
"Cao Cao actually came to supervise the battle in person?!"
Jia Xu's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were filled with fear.
When Chen Yu, who was standing next to him, saw the look of fear on Jia Xu's cold and calm face, his heart went cold and he thought: "It's over! I'm done with waiting this time!"
Cao Cao had a gloomy face, suppressing the impatience in his heart, and personally came to Yu Jin's position to supervise the battle.
Xu Du's situation was unclear, so he didn't dare to spend any more money.
Yu Jin already knew that Xu Ducheng had been breached. He immediately stepped down from the supervising platform, holding a shield, and wanted to attack the city with Dian Wei and others.
Cao Ang and Cao Anmin stood beside Cao Cao to guard him.
Cao Cao said coldly: "You two go down to attack the city. I am very safe standing here. Cold arrows cannot shoot this far. Breaking the city is the first priority now."
Cao Ang and Cao Anmin stepped down from the battle supervising platform and immediately prepared to attack the city.
Cao Cao drew out his sword with a cold face and looked sharply at Duyang City. He vaguely saw Jia Xu on the top of the city and Wei Yan who was busy arranging the battle, and ordered:
"Siege the city!"
The drums beat loudly.
The rumbling drum beat was like a stimulant for future generations. Everyone felt their blood boiling and rushed towards Duyang City with high fighting spirit.
This time, all five warriors went into battle together.
Even though Wei Yan had three heads and six arms, he couldn't hold on. Dian Wei and others climbed up the city wall.
But Wei Yan did not give up defense.
Even if he is defeated and surrenders, Cao Cao must be beaten painfully, so that Cao Cao will remember him forever.
Jia Xu also had the same idea.
After three drums, half of the attacking Cao army rushed to the top of the city. Xiliang soldiers and Nanyang soldiers fought hard. It was not that these soldiers did not want to escape, but that Wei Yan and Jia Xu never left the city.
These two people stood in the hearts of the soldiers like reassurances.
Seeing the troops attacking the city, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and his tense expression softened.
rumble! rumble!
Just when he relaxed, the thunderous sound of horse hooves came from behind, thousands of horses galloped, and the surface of the ground was shaken by the shock.
Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly felt his scalp numb and his face turned blue with coldness.
Looking back in horror, his expression was shocked.
I saw a black mass of cavalry galloping from behind, and the general at the head was as fast and fierce as a chisel cutting through mountains, rushing towards him with unstoppable force.
Cao Jun's five battle generals on the top of the city saw the cavalry in the rear, and their expressions suddenly changed.
At this time, there was no general left in the city.
The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and they killed even harder.
At such a critical time, Zhang Xiu's appearance caused a huge change in the battlefield. Jia Xuxuan's heart finally relaxed. He knew that the battle had been won.
Cao Ang and other five generals no longer care about the gains and losses of Duyang City.
They slid down the ladder desperately and ran towards Cao Cao. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu was still some distance away from Cao Cao.
At this time, Cao Jun's cavalry also reacted and rushed over from the direction of Tongbai Mountain.
But Zhang Xiu and the others were faster and more powerful.
Zhang Xiu took the lead. After approaching Cao Jun for a hundred steps, he first fired a round of mounted shooting that the Xiliang army was good at.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu held a tiger-headed spear and was followed by hundreds of followers, heading towards Cao Cao who was supervising the battle platform.
When Cao Cao saw Zhang Xiu charging towards him, he could feel the murderous intent from a hundred steps away. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly jumped off the supervising platform, hurriedly mounted his horse, and fled towards Tongbai Mountain.
A few hundred steps away, Zhang Xiu rushed over quickly, shot through Cao Cao's handsome flag on the supervising platform, and chopped it to the ground.
All Cao Cao's troops attacking the city turned around to save Cao Cao.
At this time, Jia Xu decisively gave the order: "All soldiers who can ride horses must mount their horses and go out of the city to kill the enemy!"
Wei Yan naturally knows how to ride a horse.
He immediately ran down the city wall, jumped on a random war horse, holding a big sword, his heart almost jumped out of his throat with excitement. He knew that after this battle, both Zhang Xiu and him would become famous.
The gate of Duyang City opened.
Wei Yan jumped on his horse over the corpse at the city gate, quickly caught up with Cao Jun, slashing left and right.
All the Xiliang cavalry rushed out from behind.
In an instant, Cao's army was defeated like a mountain.
The soldiers of Cao's army in the rear had no idea what was happening in front. They couldn't see the flags and didn't know where their generals were. They only saw the defeated soldiers and the torrent of cavalry in front.
The cavalry rushing from Tongbai Mountain picked up Cao Cao and fled back.
At this time, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Cao Anmin, Cao Ang and Xiahou Chun mounted their war horses.
Yu Jin, Cao Anmin and Xiahou Chun rode their horses to catch up with Cao Cao and protect Cao Cao from leaving. Dian Wei and Cao Ang stayed behind to block Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu charged forward, pressed his body forward to maintain the maximum charging speed, and bravely charged into Cao's army with a gun in one hand.
Dian Wei went to cut off the soldiers blocking Yangcheng behind, and Cao Ang rode towards Zhang Xiu to kill him.
Zhang Xiu decisively sent out more than fifty people to stop Cao Ang, and then he rode his horse and led his troops to chase Cao Cao.
Because there are tens of thousands of Cao troops behind him, if Cao Cao slows down, the situation will get out of control.
Cao Ang knew Zhang Xiu's intention, but he was surrounded by more than fifty people and could only parry, and finally had to flee in confusion.
The people who rushed out from Duyang City were high-spirited and murderous.
No matter how ferocious Dian Wei was, he could not stop the torrent from bursting the embankment, and in the end he had no choice but to retreat to save his life.
For a time, all Cao's troops fled towards the rear.
People trample people, horses trample people.
Cao Cao escaped for his life under the escort of cavalry.
Zhang Xiu led three thousand men (the rest had been dispersed) in pursuit. Cao Cao turned around and saw Zhang Xiu's sword-like eyes locked on him, and he was frightened out of his mind.
He ran even harder.
From the front of Duyang City to the vicinity of Yecheng, Zhang Xiu stopped the pursuit. It was not that he didn't want to pursue him anymore, because the horse under his crotch was almost reaching its limit.
The kneeling soldiers lay in panic on the roads on both sides, densely packed.
Hu Che'er rode up with an excited smile on his face, and Wei Yan chased after him from behind, his face full of excitement and excitement.
Zhang Xiu saw Wei Yan's heroic performance just now.
At that time, the war was tense and he didn't think much about it. Now that he saw him coming, he asked, "Whose subordinate are you?"
Wei Yan immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground: "Lord, I am from Yiyang, Nanyang. My surname is Wei, my given name is Yan, and my courtesy name is Wenchang. I am a new recruiter who is brave and was promoted to General Yamen by Jia Changshi."
Wei Yan?
Zhang Xiu was very familiar with the name of this famous Shu Han man.
This person is considered to be brave and resourceful, a talented general, and a first-rate general.
This gave Zhang Xiu a feeling of pie in the sky.
Picking up a general for nothing.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "General Wei has performed bravely. We will reward him after the war is over." He also ordered: "Hu Che'er, I want you to quickly gather the troops and reduce them. The rest of the people should return to the city!"
Until now, Zhang Xiuxuan's heart was finally relieved.
He won this battle.
He defeated Cao Cao's 150,000 army with 20,000 cavalry.
Cao Cao no longer dares to go south to cause trouble for him in a short period of time, and he can finally implement his planned plan with confidence.
