Chapter 866 There is not much time?
Puyang City,
His ears had been filled with the huge sound of horns. Cao Cao listened to the deafening shouting, and his eyes were full of anger and anger. He pressed his side face and wrapped the wound with gauze, watched the deafening shouts of the siege troops in front of him and rushed forward.
In fact, Cao Cao's barracks has indeed begun to run out of food. However, it did not reach the point where it was necessary to withdraw, and after the battle of Lu Zihe and the destruction of Lv Bu's main force, Cao Cao made a small plan and let the whole army regroup and wave the army back to attack Puyang City.
Originally, under Cao Cao's expectation, the main force of Lv Bu's army had been disabled by him, and it only took a blow to capture Puyang City. At the same time, in order to show his sincerity to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao decided to cooperate with Yuan Shao's 30,000 troops to attack Puyang City.
But!
At this moment, it has been attacking all morning, and the morale of the defenders in Puyang City has not diminished, and there is no panic at all. Such a scene made Cao Cao, who had already gambled red-eyed, naturally feel restless.
With the sophisticated skills and battlefield intuition that have been honed in the battlefield for many years, 4,000 Cao soldiers first showed their skills, attacked with dense arrows like locusts, and came to the city almost unharmed - yes, by this time, Cao Cao no longer sent those cannon fodder soldiers to test death, and It is the use of the elite soldiers in the army: the few Qingzhou soldiers who Cao personally commanded and trained!
Sure enough, these Qingzhou soldiers did not disappoint Cao Cao. They took advantage of the opportunity that it was difficult for the soldiers in the city to come out and shoot arrows vertically. They held their shields high, erected many ladders quickly and methodically, and began to climb up. Another 20 or 30 people pushed the rush car made of simple nails made of large wooden piles, and also against several layers of thick cattle. Pi's shelter came down to the gate, and the huge impact suppressed the horn and the military drum.
Suddenly, the defenders in the city panicked, and it seemed that many people fell to the ground.
"The city is about to break!" In the laughter and cheers of the people around him, Cao finally relaxed the muscles on his face with relief and muttered.
Cao Cao has led the army for many years. With his talent and unrelenting understanding, he has already mastered the heart of the rule. And the accurate ability of judging the enemy situation is even better: in just a short moment, he has seen that the defenders appeared in Puyang this time seem to have never had the experience of fighting against the city. In this case, the defenders should immediately put down the rolling wood and falling stones, and at the same time push down the ladder with a rejection pole. With a little hesitation, they will allow the attacking army to climb the wall, and the general situation is gone - more than a dozen good at fighting in Qingzhou have quickly gone to the ground!
Finally, we can calm down. The city wall is an important fortification in the city and a psychological barrier for the defenders to resist the enemy. Now it has been quickly and suddenly broken through after a single blow, which is a great blow to the fighting spirit of the defenders, and the slightly inferior troops have collapsed directly.
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Many people showed a relieved expression: many generals with sharp eyes like Cao Cao had seen that on the dilapidated Puyang City, there were no longer soldiers in armor, but peasants covered with sackcloth, and even rich merchants dressed in silk!
Such a situation couldn't help but make Cao Cao's eyes flash a sharp look: those people in Puyang must have heard of their massacre in Xuzhou and were afraid that they would kill again in Puyang. As a result, he fell into Lv Bu's temptation and came to defend the city!
However, this is also good. When they break through Puyang, they must get what they want and know the consequences of betraying the Cao family! However, Xun Yu, a benevolent gentleman, will definitely come to dissuade himself, right? And the Cao family is now indeed worried about internal and external troubles, and it is not appropriate to kill again...
Just as Cao was thinking about the fate of the people in Puyang, Xiahou Dun beside him suddenly pointed to the Puyang city wall: "Lord Sikong, look!"
At the same time, the soldiers around also made an exclamation. Cao Cao had no time to think about it and looked up.
Two dead men from Qingzhou who climbed the wall, dragging their bloody tails, were howling and dancing from the head of the city. Next is the third and fourth... In a few efforts, the Qingzhou soldiers who had just gone up turned into corpses and were thrown down the city wall.
Cao's eyes suddenly showed unbelievable anxiety. He really didn't expect that there would be a shocking reversal on the wall when the city wall was about to be broken through!
"Meng De, it's Lv Bu!" Xiahou Dun pointed to the head of the city again and said with surprise.
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were like Lv Bu locking him up again that day, staring at the magnificent figure on the wall: it can be seen that Lv Bu's skills are indeed much worse after the battle of the Zi River. However, his appearance was a strong shot for all Puyang defenders that could not be ignored!
"This is impossible. In the battle of Luzihe, Lv Bu was first injured internally, and then he was hit by three arrows and countless knives and guns. At this time, he should have been in bed long ago. How could he still appear on the wall?! Cao Cao waved his whip and shouted angrily. At this time, he had already hated this lonely wolf in troubled times to the bottom of his heart. Of course, he was also afraid to the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Lv Bu, who cut off the head of the Qingzhou soldier at this time, Xiahou Dun saw that in the blood light burst, the head of the Qingzhou soldier flew into the air, and the headless body was kicked back, and several soldiers who followed the ladder were taken down.
After thinking for a while, Xiahou Dun said calmly: "Lord Sikong, Lv Bu's life will soon be gone... At this time, he should have been burning his life in the battle, and he is still willing but weak. Have you ever seen Lv Bu kill people and need to kick them away after cutting off the soldiers' heads? ...."
"Hm?" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words. But looking at Lv Bu's more and more laborious killing of Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao's eyes showed a trace of regret and reluctance, and muttered, "He, a lonely wolf, is also a strong enemy in my life. It's too regrettable to die..."
"Meng De!" Xiahou Dun suddenly heard Cao Cao's mouth like this, and couldn't help but be anxious and urged, "This is not the time to love talent. We need..."
Speaking this, Xiahou Dun couldn't go on, because he had seen that Cao Cao raised the blocked right hand. I saw Cao Cao's eyes that had become cold, and then I heard the voice in his dream:
"We need Lv Bu's head to establish the reputation of the first military god of the Cao family in the Central Plains!" At the same time, I need to be more careful and forbearance. Therefore, Lv Fengxian's head should be taken away by Yuan Shao's generals!"
"Meng De... This?"
"Don't forget that Lv Fengxian is Ma Chao's father-in-law after all! And the anger of Yongliang God of War is not what our Cao family, which is hurt and bones now..."
Xiahou Dun's eyes were angrunt, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words. However, after a moment of thought, he could only show a helpless surrender and said to Cao Cao sincerely, "Meng De is really wise and far-reaching..."
"The messenger informed Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Jian that Puyang City was about to be conquered. The Cao family wants to dedicate this credit to the three generals!" Cao Cao opened his mouth, but then thought about it for a moment, and then said directly to Xiahou Dun, "Yuan Rang, you'd better go in person. It's better to quietly reveal Lv Bu's situation to those three people. I believe that the head of the world's first god of war will make these three people very moved..."
Xiahou Dun was stunned again, and then immediately saluted with his fists and said, "I understand..."
'Lv Bu, Lv Bu, I can't bring a tiger and wolf general like you under his command. It's really a great regret in my life, Cao Mengde.' Looking at Lv Bu's fighting figure in Puyang City again, Cao has decided not to kill the people in Puyang City. Perhaps one day, only those who have met Lv Bu in person will pass on the story of Lv Bu, the god of war, right? ........
