Lu Xuan led nearly nine thousand people on the road and quickly reached the east gate of Puyang.
Inside the gate, thick smoke lingered and the fire was so strong that you could feel the heat coming from a distance.
Lu Xuan asked the soldiers who had been prepared to carry water forward and poured buckets of cold water over, quickly extinguishing the burning fire and opening a wide passage.
Xia Houyuan was worried about Cao Cao's safety, so he led the Qingzhou soldiers to open the way in front, and soon opened the passage into the city.
A large group of people quickly entered the city.
Xia Houyuan rushed forward eagerly, and before he had gone far, he met Cao Cao who was returning.
Cao Cao's horse was gone, his helmet was gone, his armor was taken off, his hair was disheveled, and he was in an extremely miserable state. He met Xia Houyuan and then rode on his horse again.
In a blink of an eye, Lu Xuan arrived.
Cao Cao was a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Xuan.
News came that Tian Qing asked for a meeting, and Lu Xuan reminded him to be careful. At that time, Cao Cao was full of confidence, saying that Tian Qing would never betray or cause any problems, and he would definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu in one battle.
Unexpectedly, after Cao Cao led the Qingzhou soldiers into the city, he encountered Lu Bu personally leading a cavalry raid, and then sent elite charges to defeat his Qingzhou soldiers.
Cao Cao's expression returned to normal in an instant.
He unfurled his brows and said confidently, "Xian son-in-law, you didn't follow me into the city. You don't know how dangerous it was before. I was ambushed by Lu Bu and the Tian family, the Qingzhou soldiers were dispersed, and the army was defeated."
"Although Dian Wei followed me, he was held back by enemy soldiers and could not rescue me in time. As a result, I was stopped by Lu Bu's generals."
"It was really dangerous at that time."
"Thanks to my cleverness, I immediately pointed in the direction of Beicheng and said that Cao Cao was riding a yellow horse and ran ahead. Guess what, when my words came out, Lu Bu's people didn't doubt it at all, and swarmed forward and chased me, regardless of me or Dian Wei. .”
"Lu Bu's people don't have much ability."
"You caught me, but you don't know the real person's face. In my opinion, Lu Bu has nothing to fear."
Cao Cao held his head high and said confidently: "Now, my virtuous son-in-law, you are here with your men. We have a new force and we will win this battle. I know that my virtuous son-in-law will not let me down. Send the order to counterattack immediately and defeat Lu Bu's army." Army.
The messenger quickly made arrangements.
The Qingzhou soldiers led by Xia Houyuan, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai ascended the camp first and launched the attack first.
As the army counterattacked, the Qingzhou soldiers who had fled reunited, and not long after, Xiahou Dun also returned.
Xiahoudun, Dianwei, Zhou Tai, Xiahouyuan, Jiang Qin and others joined forces, plus the fresh forces of Xiandengying and Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao and Lu Xuan's offensive was once again concentrated. As the Qingzhou soldiers counterattacked, the fleeing Qingzhou soldiers gathered like a river, and the offensive was powerful.
The army led by Lu Bu was temporarily confused, and the situation was not conducive to Lu Bu.
"Go and inform Chen Gong that Lu Xuan's ambush troops have appeared. They number seven to eight thousand people. They have all appeared. Let Chen Gong take the remaining army to join the battle and counterattack Cao Cao and Lu Xuan."
Lu Bu gave the order.
The messenger quickly went to inform.
The Prefectural Mufu in the city.
Chen Gong was sitting in the hall.
Opposite Chen Gong, Wei Xu sat. Cao Cao led his troops into the city, but Lu Bu went to resist in person, leaving Chen Gong to take charge, and Wei Xu to assist Chen Gong and follow Chen Gong's orders.
In fact, Lu Bu was worried about Chen Gong, so he left Wei Xu behind. Even if Chen Gong has any ideas, Wei Xu can keep an eye on them.
Chen Gong and Wei Xu didn't speak. They just sat there, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a rushing voice broke the silence.
A soldier quickly entered, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Commander Chen, Marquis Wen said that Lu Xuan's army entered the city to participate in the battle, and the number of the opponent's troops was at least seven or eight thousand. At present, the forces of Lu Xuan and Cao Cao are in Dongcheng and There was a fight in the open space at the junction of Beicheng. Marquis Wen asked Military Advisor Chen to immediately mobilize all the troops to encircle and destroy Lu Xuan and Cao Cao."
Chen Gong's eyes brightened, he stood up and said loudly: "Wei Xu!"
"The general is here!"
Wei Xu answered immediately.
Chen Gong said: "Take the four thousand elites left by Marquis Wen, and I will mobilize the five thousand tribes of the big clans in the city. Nine thousand people went into the battlefield and defeated Lu Xuan and Cao Cao. After defeating them this time, Marquis Wen can use his strength to cover up the killing. Destroy the opponent."
"Here!"
Wei Xu immediately went to make arrangements.
Chen Gong led the tribesmen who had been waiting for a long time, and after meeting Wei Xu, they headed towards the east city to kill. A large number of troops rushed towards the battlefield. Chen Gong quickly directed the attack and arranged for the soldiers to shout slogans loudly.
"Cao Cao, Lu Xuan, you are surrounded, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
Chen Gong's soldiers shouted.
The shouts echoed on the battlefield.
Cao Cao's face was stunned for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This Chen Gong actually has an ambush. This time, I was careless and did not predict. Send the order, everyone fight to the death, kill me."
After the order was issued, Qingzhou soldiers continued to counterattack.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan and sighed: "Xian son-in-law, I am the one who has dragged you down this time. I will ask Dian Wei to charge in front later, and we will fight out directly. Don't worry, we can still fight after we fight out." "
Lu Xuan looked confident and chuckled: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will be with you in this battle."
Cao Cao was stunned again.
Then, he laughed and said with a look of anticipation, "You boy, do you actually have a back-up plan?"
Lu Xuan said: "Chen Gong is very thief. If you don't prepare for the worst, you will be easily plotted. There is no other way but to make more arrangements."
He looked in the direction of Chen Gong and smiled coldly.
Sure enough, dogs can’t change their habit of eating shit.
Cao Cao no longer had any worries and ordered a fierce attack.
Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and other tiger generals sprinted hard one by one. Coupled with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's charge, Cao Cao and Lu Xuan's lineup was not weak. Even though Lu Bu led Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to charge, they were unable to suppress the Qingzhou soldiers and the black armored soldiers.
The fighting on the battlefield continued fiercely.
Time passed little by little, the night gradually receded, and a touch of fish belly white began to appear in the eastern sky.
Chen Gong stood up on horseback behind him and looked up at the sky. It was midsummer now, and the sun was rising early. When it got dark, the situation would be even more unfavorable for them.
Chen Gong became a little anxious.
This time, he tried his best, but failed to suppress Lu Xuan, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Will it fail?
No!
Absolutely not.
Chen Gong personally supervised the battle and ordered the attack.
The two warring parties continued to fight fiercely, and the situation remained tense. For a while, the winner could not be determined.
Lu Xuan glanced at the sky and then at the battlefield. The fighting was already a melee. It felt like they were evenly matched. Only the last bit of strength was left to decide the outcome.
The time has come.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Send the order, shoot the arrows, and notify Xu Shu to order the attack."
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sounding arrow rose into the sky, and a sharp sound was heard in the air,
The sound of piercing the sky was heard, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, a large number of troops came again from behind Lu Xuan and Cao Cao.
Four thousand black-armored soldiers intervened on the battlefield.
With the armies of Lu Bu and Cao Cao fighting inextricably and fighting for several hours, Lu Xuan's four thousand black armored soldiers became the last straw. The existence of this new force boosted the morale of the Qingzhou soldiers.
"I can't stop it anymore, run away."
Tian Qing was the first in the crowd to shout loudly.
At night, Tian Qing introduced Cao Cao. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Lu Bu's surprise attack, Tian Qing quietly left and summoned the wealthy tribes in the city to follow Chen Gong. Originally Honda Qing thought that this battle should go smoothly, but things went against expectations and the battle was defeated.
Tian Qing lost the fighting spirit.
Just ran away.
After Tian Qing escaped, other Puyang clans who participated in the war were also the same. They all had no intention of fighting and fled in panic.
The withdrawal of the Puyang clan quickly caused Lu Bu's side to collapse, and Lu Bu's soldiers began to flee.
Once the fighting on the battlefield collapses, it will further evolve into the collapse of the army.
When Chen Gong saw the army collapse, his expression changed again and again, and finally his face turned livid. He glanced deeply in Lu Bu's direction, ignored Lu Bu, and ordered: "Retreat, let's retreat."
He took the troops around him and evacuated directly.
He didn't care about Lu Bu at all.
After Chen Gong retreated, the situation on Lu Bu's side collapsed, and Lu Bu panicked. He looked up and saw Cao Cao and Lu Xuan's soldiers everywhere, and his men were constantly fleeing. The most troublesome thing is that Dian Wei, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Zhou Tai and others are staring at him.
Lu Bu had no pressure to deal with Dian Wei alone. However, with the addition of Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhou Tai and others, the presence of these people made Lu Bu even more difficult to cope with, and even faced dangers.
"Withdraw the troops, the entire army retreats."
Lu Bu ordered loudly.
He quickly turned his red rabbit horse around and retreated, breaking out in the direction of the north gate, which was the retreat in the direction of Chen Palace's retreat.
Lu Bu's side retreated completely, and Cao Jun and the army jointly attacked.
Cao Cao became a little anxious. He looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Xian son-in-law, your subordinate Huang Zhong didn't show up. Where are they?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The place where we are fighting with Lu Bu is close to the North Gate. The first choice for Chen Gong and Lu Bu to evacuate is to break out through the North Gate. Therefore, I arranged for Huang Zhong to lead people early to block the retreat outside the North Gate. .”
"well!"
Cao Cao became excited.
He ordered the pursuit and even led his men into the battlefield himself to cover up and kill the surrendering Lu Bu army.
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled.
He took his men and chased after him.
