Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry and headed straight for Xiaopei. However, the speed of the red rabbit horse was beyond the ability of the wolf cavalry to keep up. Soon, Lu Bu rode one man at a time and gradually ran to the front. Even if the wolf cavalry tried its best to catch up, they would not be able to catch up. Unable to catch up.
At this time, Lu Bu had no intention of thinking about anything. There was only one voice in his mind, which was to ask Cao Cao what he was thinking and how he came up with such a stupid idea.
Missing him Lu Bu, how long did it take to prepare? When the letter was given to Cao Cao and Cao Cao replied, he once thought that he had succeeded. He once thought that the next step would be to successfully surrender to Cao Cao.
He never thought that people like Zhang Liao, who acted on their own initiative, actually stabbed him in the back. Even if he was not at fault for personally executing the entire process, why couldn't a person like Cao Cao, with a great talent like Xun Yu underneath him, not directly Some.
He had obviously spoken sincerely, but he still wanted to test him. Now it's better, the temptation came out, but what came out was not Lu Bu's thoughts.
Lu Bu not only wanted to grab Cao Cao by the neck and ask about it, but also wanted to ask Zhang Liao with Fang Tian Hua Ji why things turned out like this.
Now Cao Cao is in Xiaopei. Lu Bu can't bear it anymore. He just wants to get there as soon as possible. If Cao Cao runs away, he won't be able to ask even if he wants to. This matter will really be settled. .
The red rabbit horse also seemed to feel the urgency in Lu Bu's heart, and its speed became faster and faster. The distance between the red rabbit horse and the wolf rider behind it was once again widened.
At Xiaopei, Cao Jun continued to attack the city. The two sides had been fighting for an hour and a half, and there was only half an hour left before the two-hour attack time set by Cao Cao.
Cao Hong was still in front, constantly commanding the army to attack the city. Dian Wei had returned to Cao Cao because he could not do anything. In addition, Cao Cao saw that he had no intention of attacking his army, so he also transferred Xia Houyuan. When they reached the front, Li Dian was still left on the flank for defense, just in case.
At this time, both sides have entered a white-hot stage. Cao Cao continued to increase his troops and attacked one wave after another. Zhang Liao's army at the top of the city also changed two groups of men, and the ordnance prepared to defend the city was also somewhat exhausted. big.
In this hour and a half, Cao's army lost more than 3,000 men, while Zhang Liao also lost nearly 600 men, a battle loss of nearly 1:5.
Zhang Liao once again repelled Cao Jun's attack and was temporarily relieved. At this time, Xu Sheng came to Zhang Liao.
"Wenyuan, what are these Cao troops going crazy about? Not to mention that they can't attack Xiaopei. Even if they do, they won't be able to catch up with Xuan Gao and the others. According to the speed of Xuan Gao and the others, they may have already reached Xiapi.
Now there are 8,000 troops in my city, and they want to break the city with just 20,000 to 30,000 people? It's a bit too whimsical. "
Zhang Liao smiled when he heard Xu Sheng's words.
"If Cao Cao wants to fight, just let him fight. I really hope that he will continue to fight. It's best to transfer troops from Yanzhou and just fight here directly.
Don't move the soldiers and horses arranged in the city. I have already explained to Xuangao and the others that reinforcements are needed here. Cao Cao will definitely lead his army to attack. Xuangao and the others have almost arrived at Xiapi.
Once the lord sends troops, he will definitely send wolf cavalry. Xuzhou still has fifteen thousand wolf cavalry. As long as Cao Cao does not run away, when the wolf cavalry sent by the lord arrives, Cao Cao will not be able to leave. .
Even Cao Cao might be able to stay. If we can really keep Cao Cao, then Yanzhou will be in our pocket.
The soldiers and horses in the city are reserved to wait for the reinforcements sent by the lord to arrive and counterattack Cao Cao together, and cannot be used. "
Zhang Liao looked at Cao Cao's army, which looked like it was going all out, and was not worried at all. Instead, he hoped that Cao Cao's army could continue, lose their minds, and keep attacking the city without stopping. It was best for Cao Cao not to withdraw his troops.
Xu Sheng listened to Zhang Liao's words, pondered for a moment, and then spoke solemnly again.
"Wen Yuan, what if Cao Cao runs away early? Do we have to keep them?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao looked at Xu Sheng and smiled immediately.
"There is no need for this. Now we have won a great victory. If Cao Cao leaves early, then let him leave. If he leaves early, we will not be able to keep Cao Cao. As long as we cannot keep Cao Cao, it will be of no use. .
Based on the current situation in Yanzhou, there will be no threat to us for at least a year. Instead, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu will be the focus of our defense next.
We captured Liu Bei's Xuzhou, and now he still has more than 20,000 troops in his hands. Plus Yuan Shu is determined to capture Xuzhou, and there will be big battles to be fought in the future.
Although Yuan Shu is somewhat incompetent, he still has a large army and although his combat power is somewhat inferior, he still must be cautious. "
In Zhang Liao's eyes, Cao Cao's threat to Xuzhou has become too small now. After two battles, Cao Cao's army lost nearly 20,000 troops. He did not have many troops. If he loses so many more, he will not be able to recover in a short time.
On the contrary, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu pose a greater threat to Xuzhou. No matter how forbearing Liu Bei is, Zhang Liao does not believe that Liu Bei will not be angry at all if they capture Xuzhou.
Suddenly, the two of them stared at each other.
"Get ready, Cao Jun is attacking again, let them be arrogant for a while longer!"
Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng immediately began to prepare to defend the city, and the leader of the charge below was Xia Houyuan this time, because they had just received Cao Cao's military order. This was the last charge. If they could not break the city, they would withdraw immediately.
Zhang Liao looked at Cao's army below, which was more numerous than in the previous attack. He immediately had people shoot out all the arrows in the bed crossbow. Now the arrows left in the bed crossbow were only enough to fire two rounds. Zhang Liao wanted to use them up and give them to Cao's army. There was a feeling that all their defense weapons had been consumed.
Although the accuracy of the bed crossbow is poor, Cao's army is densely packed below. Although there are still some empty shots, most of them hit Cao's army.
Soon, Cao Jun came under the city wall with the arrows on the city head, and immediately began to attack the city.
The two sides fought for nearly half an hour. Xiahou Yuan climbed the wall several times, but was repulsed by Zhang Liao. At this time, the sound of drums for Cao's army to retreat came. Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to lead the army to withdraw.
In fact, an hour ago, they already knew that they could not break Xiaopei, so they kept attacking just to vent their anger.
When Xia Houyuan retreated, Zhang Liao did not attack because Lu Bu's reinforcements had not yet arrived. With his less than 3,000 wolf cavalry and nearly 4,000 troops, it was almost impossible to keep Cao Cao.
Even if he is not careful, he will be defeated by Cao Cao. This is not what Zhang Liao wants.
Just as Zhang Liao and others watched Cao Cao gradually withdraw his troops and retreat, a horse appeared in the distance and headed straight for Cao Cao's army.
This ride was none other than Lu Bu, who had left the Wolf Rider far behind.
Lu Bu looked at Cao Jun who had begun to retreat, and the anger in his heart rushed into his mind. He directly held Fang Tian's painted halberd and rushed over, one person and one horse.
When he got closer, Lu Bu suddenly shouted loudly.
"Wuyuan Lu Fengxian is here! Cao Cao doesn't leave!"
Lu Bu's high-pitched and loud voice directly reached the ears of Cao Cao and Zhang Liao at the same time.
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he speeded up again, charging straight into Cao Cao's army with one horse equal to a thousand.
