Chapter 1370 Breaking through Xuzhou

The Cao army officers and soldiers were shocked and lowered their bodies to avoid them. Everyone couldn't help but feel panic.

Cao Zhi felt that his side occupied the favorable terrain of the city wall, but was suppressed and beaten by the other party. He was very annoyed and immediately shouted: "Where is the crossbowman? Counterattack immediately!"

When the crossbowman heard the order, he immediately stood up and prepared to fight back.

Who would have thought that the opponent's new wave of arrow rain flew over at this moment, and the crossbowmen were caught off guard and were shot down a lot. Some crossbowmen rushed to shoot arrows, and in panic, they didn't know where the arrow flew!

At this time, Liu Xianjun outside the city let out a huge shout, as if there were thunder. Cao army in the city couldn't help but feel scared and at a loss.

Cao Zhi, who was hiding behind the wall with Cao Zhi, saw Cao Zhi look frightened and immediately comforted him: "Young master, don't worry, although the enemy is fierce, our army occupies the city of Xuzhou. The enemy cavalry is not good at attacking the toughest, so they cannot attack the city!"

When Cao Zhi heard this, his worry and panic subsided a little and he nodded.

At this moment, all the people in the city were awakened by the shouts from outside the city. When they learned that this was the sound of Liu Xianjun attacking the city, everyone was extremely panicked.

It turns out that under Cao Cao's propaganda, Liu Xianjun was as cruel as jackals and tigers in the hearts of these people. Once they entered the city, they were afraid that everyone would die without a place to bury them!

The fear tightly held the hearts of the people, and the people could not sleep, so they gathered together one by one, listening tremblingly to the terrifying sounds coming from outside.

Liu Xianjun used his cavalry skills to shoot arrows at the head of the city. The officers and soldiers of the Cao army gradually got used to it. Seeing that the opponent could not rush to the head of the city, the original fear gradually calmed down.

Cao Zhi poked out half of his head and looked at the cavalry running around outside the city, and smiled and said, "As the sir said, although the enemy's combat cavalry is fierce, they cannot defeat the tough ones! If they think that they can scare us with this, that would be a fool!"

Seeing Chen Qun frowning tightly, he was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "Why are you still frowning?"

Chen Qun glanced at the cavalry running around outside the city and frowned: "Although Zhao Yanran is a woman, she is a famous general in the modern era. Logically speaking, she should have known that with the cavalry in her hands, it is difficult to break through the city's city without siege equipment!

But why did she do this useless task even though she knew it was impossible?”

Seeing that Chen Qun was worried about this, Cao Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir, I'm worried too much! Although Zhao Yanran is known as a famous general, she is just a woman after all.

She probably thought that just by bluffing, we Xuzhou soldiers and civilians would be scared and surrender to her!”

Chen Qun felt that a character like Zhao Yanran could not be so simple, and frowned and didn't say anything.

At this time, thousands of Cao's officers and soldiers came to the near north city gate.

Seeing this, the city gate captain immediately stepped forward to stop them and asked loudly: "Whose subordinates are you, and why did you come to the North City Gate?"

Cao Zhi and Chen Qun on the city gate tower heard the voice behind and immediately came to the back and watched the city. They saw that the defeated soldiers who escaped back today came to the city gate, and the leader was the general named Xu Chong.

When Xu Chong faced the inquiry from the city gate captain, he took two steps forward, as if he wanted to answer the other party's question.

However, at this moment, a scene beyond everyone's expectations appeared. Xu Chong suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and chopped down the city gate captain who was completely unprepared!

Cao Zhi and Chen Qun on the city gate tower suddenly saw this scene and were all shocked.

At this time, Xu Chong shouted loudly: "Attack!"

The defeated soldiers under his command immediately rushed up. The originally sickly group of defeated soldiers turned into a group of ferocious tigers and wolves, rushed into the middle of Cao's army to attack and kill fiercely!

The Cao army officers and soldiers, caught off guard, suddenly chopped the corpse and blood to fly. The Cao army, who was stunned by this sudden fierce attack, could not resist the opponent's fierce attack!

Cao Zhi shouted in surprise: "What's going on?"

Chen Qun said anxiously: "No! These people are not defeated soldiers at all, they are enemy troops!"

Xu Chong seemed to hear Chen Qun's shouting and laughed: "I am Xu Huang, the general of the Han Dynasty! You are rebels and surrender quickly!"

Chen Qun urgently ordered the officers and soldiers on the city wall to counterattack the opponent.

However, the army led by Xu Huang was very powerful and launched an attack from the inside. Cao's counterattack was useless at all. Instead, some Liu Xianjun rushed to the top of the city, and fierce battle broke out on the top of the city.

At the same time, Liu Xianjun under the city finally defeated Cao's army near the city gate and opened the city gate.

Zhao Yanran, who was waiting for this moment, immediately rushed to attack, and the cavalry group rushed into the city gate like a tide.

Chen Qun hurriedly assembled thousands of people who could gather and launched a counterattack against Zhao Yanran who was entering the city on the street near the city gate.

Inspired by the war drums, thousands of Cao troops rushed towards Zhao Yanran's cavalry.

The two sides collided and fought together, and the cavalry rushed forward, and the tide-like iron hooves trampled the Cao army officers and soldiers in succession! The shrill screams and the loud sound of flesh and blood shattering, and Cao's counterattack was almost instantly swept under the rolling iron hooves!

Cao's army was frightened and their fighting spirit completely collapsed. The officers and soldiers turned around and ran back, and were defeated by the opponent's cavalry!

Cao Zhi hurried back home, took his wife and concubine and ran out of the East City Gate.

The army in the city had collapsed completely, and under the strangulation of Liu Xian's army, they all put down their weapons and surrendered.

On the other side, Cao Cao was leading the army out of Xiaopei and hurriedly retreating towards Xuzhou.

However, before he arrived in Xuzhou, a blood-covered officer rushed to the front of the army in a hurry and reported: "No, it's not good for King Wei! Xu, Xuzhou, Xuzhou are lost!..."

As soon as these words were said, everyone, including Cao Cao, was shocked, like a group of people who were suddenly frightened by a bolt from the blue.

Cao Cao came back to his senses and shouted angrily: "There are 20,000 defenders in Xuzhou, how could he be captured by Zhao Yanran in an instant?!"

The officer hurriedly said: "Then Zhao Yanran first sent thousands of people to pretend that our army was defeated and sneaked into the city, and then came to attack the city! Just when the war was about to be critical, those fake defeated soldiers suddenly launched an attack to seize the city gate and led the enemy into the city, and the city eventually fell!..."

Cao Cao's expression changed several times and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After calming down, he asked, "What's the situation in Xia Pi?"

The officer clasped his fists and said, "Xia Pi is safe and has not been attacked!"

Cao Cao said resolutely: "The army retreated into Xia Pi first, and then make plans!"
