Chapter 425 Tragic Attack and Defense
Seeing that Tao Qian on the top of the wall had not moved for a long time, Cao Cao couldn't help but wondered: "Private Tao Qian, don't you want to take the blame, why haven't you come out for so long?"
Tao Qian didn't come out when he heard these words, instead, a young general in white robes with a dashing figure appeared.
"General Cao, Mr. Tao is determined to fight to the end!" Although Zhao Yun's voice was not loud, he was very clear: "In addition, Yun still has a gift for General Cao."
"It turned out to be General Zhao." Cao Cao admired Zhao Yun's combat skills and martial arts in leading the cavalry that day: "I wonder if General Zhao has any gifts for Cao?"
Zhao Yun laughed, and suddenly he stretched his bow and pointed his arrow at Cao Cao: "A certain arrow from Zhao, give it to Duke Cao!"
Whoosh!
The bowstring trembled slightly, and the arrow flew out suddenly under the trembling of the bowstring, flying out with a violent spiral energy, pointing directly at Cao Cao's chest!
Cao Cao was taken aback and wanted to draw his sword to block, but Zhao Yun's arrow was so accurate and fast that it was about to hit Cao Cao's chest.
"My lord, be careful!"
A loud shout was like a bolt from the blue, Dian Wei saw that Cao Cao was in danger, his complexion suddenly changed, and before he had time to think about it, he pulled his horse forward, threw an iron halberd in his hand, and shot the long arrow to the ground with a bang .
"My lord!" Dian Wei flew up to Cao Cao, stretched out his hand and grabbed the iron halberd from the ground, and the two iron halberds intertwined to protect Cao Cao firmly behind him, like an iron tower.
"Zhao Yun, do you have the guts to go out of the city and fight Dian again?" Dian Wei shouted at Zhao Yun. That day, the two fought more than 80 times without a draw, which made Dian Wei very dissatisfied with Zhao Yun.
"Haha, Dian Zhuang, Zhao admires your martial arts very much. If you are usually accompanied by Yun, it is a pity that the overall situation is more important today."
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he hid behind the female wall, no matter how much Dian Wei yelled at him, he refused to come out.
"Forget it, it's evil." Cao Cao waved his hand, thinking of the speed of the arrow just now, he couldn't help feeling a little palpitating.
"I ordered Yuan Rang, Zi Xiao, and Miao Cai to attack the city with the whole army, and let the Xuzhou army know how powerful our Qingzhou soldiers are!" Cao Cao said angrily.
"promise!"
"The general has an order, the three armies attack the city!"
"Beat the drum, blow the trumpet!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Outside the city gates on the east, west, and south sides, Cao Jun's passionate war drums and desolate horn horns sounded suddenly, as if a giant beat his chest and let out a roar.
Xiahou Dun stared at the tall city wall of Xiapi City in front of him, and waved an order: "Lift the ladder, archers suppress the enemy at the top of the city, and infantry attack the city!"
Under the command of Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and others, nearly 40,000 Cao troops launched a large-scale attack on Xiapi City.
There were nearly 10,000 Cao Jun archers on the three sides of the city. After advancing two hundred steps from the city, they stopped and launched a large-scale fire suppression under the cover of the front row of swordsmen.
Tens of thousands of arrows flew out and landed on the top of the city suddenly, crushing the Xuzhou army on the top of the city so that they could not lift their heads.
Cao Jun's infantry, under the cover of fire from their own archers, carried a ladder to attack forward.
The ladder with barbs hung on the top of the city with a bang, and tens of thousands of cao army infantry began to climb the ladder. Because the fire suppression of Cao Jun's archers was too fierce, the Xuzhou army did not dare to show their heads at all, so that Cao Jun's infantry successfully climbed to the top of Xuzhou city.
"Hmph, Guan Yu is here!"
Just when the Qingzhou soldiers were about to start a killing spree, they saw a Qinglong Saber sweeping towards them with fierce vigor, and a fan of the saber light spread out, cutting off the two Qingzhou soldiers at once.
Guan Yu appeared on the top of the city with five hundred songs, and started a bloody battle with the Qingzhou soldiers who climbed the top of the city. Guan Yu relied on his extraordinary martial arts and hundreds of personal guards to protect him. For a while, a line of defense above the city was firmly maintained.
And the two generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei also appeared on one side of the city. Guan Zhang and Zhao are both fierce generals who can fight one against a hundred, and they also have soldiers and horses to protect them.
Under the fierce fighting of Guan Zhangzhao and other fierce generals, even the brave Qingzhou soldiers were unable to break through the enemy's formation for a while.
Seeing this, Le Jin frowned immediately. He has always fought bravely in the army, and he was known to be the first to ascend every battle. Seeing that the Qingzhou soldiers' offensive was blocked, he immediately called for a fight.
"My lord! If I want to lead the elite troops of the headquarters to attack the city, I will surely conquer Xiapi!"
Cao Cao nodded: "Okay, Wen Qian will surely succeed!"
After Le Jin took the order, he led more than a thousand pieces to climb the ladder and rush to the top of Xicheng.
"Le Jin is here, why don't you give up the city and surrender?" As soon as Le Jin rushed to the top of the city, he was like a tiger coming out of the mountain, and a spear in his hand suddenly thrust out, knocking the Xuzhou army in front of him to the ground with a spear. .
As the saying goes, a raging soldier, a raging nest, Le Jin's usual style is to be the first to attack fiercely, so his trilogy is also all fighting bravely. Under Le Jin's leadership, he quickly broke through the Xuzhou Army's front line and entered In the city.
"Hey!"
With a shout like thunder, a curved Zhangba Snake Spear suddenly swept across, blocking Le Jin's spear suddenly.
"You are Zhang Fei?" Le Jin frowned and shouted at Zhang Fei.
"Haha, this general is Zhang Yide from Yan, who are you?" Zhang Fei laughed loudly.
"A certain family is happy to advance, you are very capable, why don't you join Cao Gong?" Le Jin persuaded.
"No, no, no." Zhang Fei shook his head: "My eldest brother and my second elder brother swear to the death, and I promise that my elder brother will revive the Han Dynasty and not rely on Cao Cao."
"It's a pity." Le Jin sighed: "In this case, let's see the real chapter!"
"bring it on!"
The two spears collided and clanged.
At sunset, the sound of Mingjin sounded in Cao Jun's formation. When he heard the sound of Mingjin, nearly ten thousand Cao Jun who were fighting on the top of the city were stunned.
"My lord has orders, retreat!"
"Crap! Let's fight again tomorrow."
Many Qingzhou thieves haven't changed their habits yet, and they are still yelling at the incisions they made when they were bandits. They retreated slowly and methodically under the command of their respective chiefs.
"Huh, Cao Jun has finally retreated." Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work today. Tao has already prepared a banquet in the mansion. I invite Duke Xuande and the generals to drink."
Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Tao Shijun, do you have any wine?"
Tao Qian chuckled: "Of course there are. General Yide is a well-dressed man, so the governor will naturally prepare good wine."
Zhang Fei laughed: "That's a good relationship."
"Yide!" Liu Bei scolded, cupped his hands to Tao Qian and said, "Tao Shijun, now our army is fighting Cao Jun, it is not suitable to drink alcohol, forget it."
Tao Qian stroked his beard: "Okay, then eat more vegetables today."
