Chapter 442 Cao Liu's Fierce Battle

"Drink!! Up!!"

In a moment, Dian Wei shouted violently, and the power of the dragon and elephant started to block Pan Feng's axe. Pan Fenghu suddenly stared, and the power of nine cattle and two tigers broke out, and he swung the axe again. Dian Wei's dark arms expanded crazily, and the double halberd danced quickly and fiercely. They fought wildly with Pan Feng, forming a huge aura around the two. No soldier could approach half. At the same time, the hissing of the dragon, elephant, ox and tiger faintly kept swinging out of the surroundings of the two.

The storm is rolling, and the axe is light and the halberd is so fast that people can't see it clearly. Whenever two kinds of weapons touch each other, there will be a shocking storm. The more they kill, the more they have a strong will to fight. They have played dozens of rounds, but there is no victory or defeat.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun galloped his horse and was about to help fight with a gun. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei had led 10,000 infantry to kill him. Zhang Fei pulled Lei Gong's voice, shouted, ran wildly, and killed Xia Hou Dun. Eight snake spears stabbed countless gun shadows. Xia Hou Dun hurriedly blocked it and seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.

On the other side, Taishi Ci, dressed in lion's head armor, also led 10,000 infantry to kill the middle army of the Cao army. Seeing that Taishi Ci was young, Cao Hong did not feel a little contemptuous. He patted the horse with one hand and greeted him. Unexpectedly, Tai Shici suddenly pinched the horse, leaned on the gun, picked up the bow and arrow, and did it in one go. I saw three arrows pulling on the bow string and suddenly. The arrows pierced the void and came very fast. Cao Hong rushed vigorously and suddenly saw three arrows shooting at him. For a moment, he didn't know how to avoid it. Seeing that Cao Hong was about to be shot by three arrows, Cao Hong bit his steel teeth, didn't care about his face, fell down, abandoned his horse and flew to one side. Cao Hong rolled a few meters on the ground, and his whole body was covered with dust. He was about to drink angrily. Unexpectedly, he saw three arrows in Taishi Ci's bow. Suddenly, his eyes were staring, and his face was also anxious.

swmth.

Three arrows flew up again and shot at Cao Hong. At this time, Cao Hong was also behind a series of arrows that broke through the void, surpassing Cao Hong's body like three thunder lights, just hitting the arrows shot by Tai Shici.

In the Cao army, only Xia Houyuan, one of the Xia Hou brothers, can have this arrow skill. It turned out that Xiahou Yuan saw that Taishi Ci was young, but his momentum was compelling, so he knew that he was not an ordinary person. Xia Houyuan also knew Cao Hong. He was arrogant. He was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy and be damaged, so he hurriedly rushed to the horse to plunder the front.

Taishi Ci saw that his beads and arrows were broken, and his eyes turned and fell on Xia Houyuan. With a cold face, he burst into an extremely vigorous sharp momentum on his body. What he took out of the quiver in one hand was five arrows, put them on the bow, pulled the bow string into a full moon shape, and aimed at Xia Houyuan and shot away.

The continuous beaded arrows of five arrows, without superb archery, can't shoot at all, let alone accurately. However, Tai Shici's five arrows flew at the same time, and the head did not deviate at all, and all of them shot at Xia Houyuan's body. Xia Houyuan concentrated. He also picked up five arrows and put them in the bow. With the sound of broken words, the five arrows soared at the same time. They collided with the arrows shot by Tai Shici in the void, and the ten arrows collided with each other, stirring gusts of wind. Whether it was Cao Jun or Liu Jun's soldiers around, they were stunned.

Taishi Ci saw that his beads and arrows were broken again, and his eyes became more and more cold. After looking at Xia Houyuan from a distance for a while, the soldiers next to him suddenly shouted.

"General, be careful!!"

It turned out that Cao Hong rushed to Tai Shici while Xia Houyuan and Tai Shici were in the archery. After rushing to Tai Shici's side, he raised his hand with a knife. However, Tai Shici had long noticed Cao Hong's sneak attack and quickly grabbed the gun and blocked Cao Hong's machete. Cao Hong is fierce in nature. Once he starts a knife, it must be a crazy attack. Cao Hong roared fiercely and chopped on Tai Shici's gun like a rainstorm. Tai Shici was seized by Cao Hong first, so he had to block it first. When Cao Hong finished his fierce attack, the gun suddenly stabbed Cao Hong in the throat. Cao Hong was exhausted, and he didn't expect that Tai Shici would suddenly attack, and there was no time to avoid it.

Seeing that Tai Shici's gun was about to pierce, suddenly, Tai Shici's ears trembled, quickly stopped the gun, and then pulled the gun and stabbed repeatedly, breaking all the five arrows shot at him.

"Yellow-haired child! Don't be arrogant. Grandpa Cao will take your life!"

Cao Hong came back and remembered that he was almost stabbed to death by this young general just now. He suddenly bent down and wanted to launch a fierce attack. If he fights alone, Taishi Ci is confident that he can beat Cao Hong, a tough man, but at this time, there is a fierce general who is not inferior to his own. If he fights for a long time, I'm afraid he will be injured.

After thinking about it, Tai Shici suddenly stabbed out a shot. After swinging Cao Hong's knife, he rode away. When Cao Hong saw that Tai Shici was about to escape, he immediately blushed and cursed. However, he had no horse to chase him, so he had to watch Tai Shici escape. Cao Cao, who was secretly marveling at the bravery of Taishi Ci, immediately came to his senses and ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses of the rear army to surround the soldiers and horses led by Taishi Ci. When Cao Hong saw it, he reacted quickly enough and also led 20,000 soldiers of the Chinese army to chase him.

When Liu Bei saw that Taishi Ci's soldiers and horses were surrounded, he quickly led the remaining 10,000 soldiers to rescue them. But don't forget that there are 20,000 soldiers in Liu Bei's army, who are the newly surrendered thieves, and how can they be the opponents of Cao Cao's elite soldiers? As soon as he came into contact, he was killed by Cao Cao's 50,000 elite soldiers and retreated. Pan Feng and Zhang Fei noticed the danger over there and quickly led the army to rescue. Seeing this, Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun hurriedly called the soldiers to cover up from behind.

Tao Qian, who was at the top of the city, saw that Liu Bei's army was in chaos and knew that if he no longer took action, this rescuer would be swallowed up by Cao Cao's 70,000 elite soldiers sooner or later. Tao Qian urgently called Cao Bao and asked him to lead 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers in the city to save Liu Bei.

Cao Cao, who was commanding the soldiers to fight, had always paid attention to Tancheng. Suddenly, when he saw the head of Tancheng surging, he knew that Tao Qian was going to send troops to save him. Although the current situation is very good, once Xuzhou joins, it is difficult to decide whether he will win or lose, and even if he wins, Cao Cao will definitely win a tragic victory. This is not the result Cao Cao wants. Nowadays, the general trend of the world is unstable, and the threat from all parties is getting bigger and bigger. If Cao Cao's troops are greatly damaged, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with other forces in the future.

Cao Cao thought about it and made a quick decision. The shilling rear army began to retreat, and then ordered the Chinese army to withdraw slowly. Finally, the front army who fought fiercely with Liu's army retreated for a while and quickly withdrew. Liu Bei did not expect that Cao Cao Cao was in a good situation and would suddenly withdraw his troops. In the fierce battle just now, his soldiers and horses had lost nearly 5,000. The morale of other soldiers was also low, so Liu Bei did not dare to lead the army to pursue and let Cao's army retreat.

Not long after Cao's army retreated, 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers flew out of the city gate. Only then did Liu Bei realize why Cao Cao suddenly withdrew. But at this time, it's too late to chase.

"Cao Mengde has a good way to use troops. He knows when to attack and when to retreat. He is calm and rational. If you want to defeat him, it's really difficult to reach the sky.

Liu Bei was amazed in his heart that Cao Cao's weight in his heart was also getting heavier and heavier. Even unconsciously, Liu Bei was deeply afraid of him.

After Cao Cao collected his troops and returned to the fortress, after resting the soldiers and horses, he called Guo Jia, Xia Hou brothers, Dian Wei, Cao Hong and other Wen Wu to discuss the capture of Xuzhou. Seeing the original good situation, Xiahou Dun was disturbed by Liu Bei's shit. He was afraid that the battle in Xuzhou would be delayed for a long time, and his heart was full of anger. He bluntly suggested that Cao Cao lead a heavy army to attack and was about to break through Tancheng. And Cao Hong, who has a hot temper, is now echoing Xiahou Dun's words. However, the way to attack is not Cao Cao's intention. Cao Cao did not say a word and closed his eyes to refresh his mind. Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong saw that Cao Cao did not respond. The two of them first followed Cao Cao, but they guessed Cao's intention and closed their mouths and said nothing for the time being. As for Dian Wei, he stood beside Cao Cao, like a huge statue, with his mouth closed and standing expressionless. He knew that it was not his scope to think about problems and strategies. He just obeyed the order. If Cao Cao wanted him to kill, he would kill. If he wanted him to charge, he would charge into the battle.

Suddenly, Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked at Guo Jia. During the period when Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong spoke, Guo Jia had been meditating. At this time, when he saw Cao Cao looking at him, his face was restrained, so he stood up and said.

"Lord, Liu Xuande came to help Tancheng. Although there are many rabbles among them, there are also tens of thousands of troops. Now it is all in Tancheng. The strength of the defenders of Tancheng is 60,000, which is almost the same as that of our army. If you attack rashly, even if you break through Tancheng, it will be a tragic victory. This is unfavorable to the future development of the Lord's situation, so I hope that the Lord will not move for the time being and wait for the news of Guangling. Cao Zixiao is still a rare handsome talent in the world, and Jia Junshi is beside him. It is difficult to take Guangling. As long as Guangling is taken, Donghai County will become an isolated city and be broken sooner or later.

Guo Jia's words were full of Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao nodded gently, and then sighed after staring.

"It's just that it takes a lot of time to delay. It's almost time for Chang'an.

Cao Cao suddenly said inexplicably. The Xia Hou brothers looked at each other and didn't know why Cao Cao suddenly mentioned Chang'an. Cao Hong was also full of suspicion and hurriedly looked at Guo Jia. Cao Cao discussed everything with Guo Jia. Guo Jiading understood what Cao Cao meant. Sure enough, as Cao Hong expected, Guo Jia looked slightly heavy and said in a low voice.

"If so, for the sake of the big picture. The lord still needs to put down the war in Xuzhou for the time being and rush to Chang'an. The matter of Chang'an is more than a hundred times more important than Xuzhou. If Chang'an is successful, the foundation of the world's momentum can be stabilized.

"Well, what Feng filial piety said is reasonable. If you really can't catch up, you have to put down Xuzhou first.

Xiahou Dun listened to Cao Cao and Guo Jia's words and said something he didn't understand. What's more impatient is that these words seem to hide great things, and this matter is extremely important to Cao Cao.

"Hey!!! Guo Jijiu, what are you talking about with the master? Why can't I understand at all? What's the big deal in Chang'an!?

Hearing Xiahou Dun's question, Guo Jia first glanced at Cao Cao. Cao Cao nodded gently, indicating that it was time for Guo Jia to say the matter. In this way, Guo Jia said with a sinking face.

"General Xiahou, don't worry, Fengxiao is for you. Chang'an will soon be in chaos. At that time, Li Qiu and Guo Yan will turn against each other. It is the best time for the lord to lead the army to save the saint.

"Ah!"

Xiahou Dun exclaimed, and then thought about it quickly in his mind for a while.

"However, the Han Dynasty of Guo Jijiu has long declined, and the imperial power is no longer there. The princes of all parties have separated one side and took care of their own jurisdiction. In this case, why didn't the lord hesitate to let go of the Xuzhou war and spend troops to go to the muddy water in Chang'an?

"Ha ha. General Xiahou, although the Han Dynasty is declining, the princes of the world are still Han ministers after all. As long as the Han Dynasty is not destroyed for a day, they can't get rid of their identity as Han ministers. As long as the lord holds the saint in his hand and gives orders in the name of the saint, anyone who does not obey is a rebellious minister. In this way, the lord can uphold the great righteousness and imperial power to send troops to fight, which is bound to be invincible.

What's more, there are many loyal ministers in the Central Plains and Guanzhong area. These people will flock to invest, so that the lord can not only collect talents, but also get the jurisdiction of these loyal ministers without any effort. In less than three years, the lord can take a large area of land in the Central Plains, and even the separatist forces in Guanzhong will return one after another.

By that time, the power of the lord has been stabilized, and the momentum of taking the world has been achieved. Few princes in the world can threaten the lord.

Xiahou Dun's eyes widened, and his blood seemed to boil. And like Xia Hou Dun, there are Cao Hong and Xia Hou Yuan, all of whom are surprised and ecstatic. As for Dian Wei, in his evil eyes, a sharp fighting spirit burst out, as if he had seen that there were countless battles waiting for him in the future.
