The coalition forces that controlled the city gate tower saw Xiahou Yuan being killed, and the morale of the army was greatly shocked. They could not resist the fierce attack of Liu Xian's army, and they collapsed and were defeated!

"General, the city gate tower has been lost!" A general beside Cao Ren shouted to Cao Ren in panic.

Cao Ren was shocked and immediately looked up at the city gate tower. Sure enough, he saw that his officers and soldiers were defeated, while the opponent's army was quickly controlling the city gate tower.

Cao Ren was very upset and cursed angrily: "What is Xiahou Yuan doing?"

"General, what should I do now?" a general asked at a loss.

Seeing that his army was still unable to break through the enemy's obstacles in front of him, and the city gate tower was about to fall into the enemy's hands, Cao Ren felt that the fighter had been lost, so he shouted loudly: "Retreat! The whole army retreated!" Then he turned his horse and ran straight towards the city gate.

After receiving the order, the Cao army troops immediately broke off contact with the enemy troops in front of them and retreated quickly.

Fortunately, a group of Cao's army resisted Liu Xian's army at the gate, which finally won time for Cao's army to retreat, and the Cao's army units that entered the city were able to escape unscathed.

All units of Liu Xian's army fought back, repelled Cao's army and recovered the city gate.

As the city gates closed again, a war finally came to an end.

Zhang Fei sat down on the steps of the city gate tower, threw the Snake Spear aside, and said with a glee: "Today is so damn dangerous!" He looked up at the sky and found that it was already bright and a night had passed.

At this moment, thick smoke actually emanated from the city. An officer next to Zhang Fei suddenly saw this and immediately exclaimed: "There is a fire in the city!"

Zhang Fei jumped down and jumped up. He quickly looked into the city and saw a striking smoke column coming out of a place not far from the city wall.

Zhang Fei immediately shouted to the officer beside him: "Go and see what's going on!"

The officer Yingnuo ran down with a loud voice, and rushed back a while later to report: "General Qi reported that it was Captain Zhang Xingcai who was filling the tunnel with burning wood according to the order of the military advisor!"

Zhang Fei was stunned and frowned and said, "Authentic?"

The officer quickly explained: "According to the captured Cao army, Xiahou Yuan and the others sneaked into the city from this tunnel!"

Zhang Fei glared at his eyes and cursed: "Damn it, it turns out that this is how they entered the city! I said how could they suddenly appear in my city!"

"General, look!" A general suddenly pointed outside the city and shouted.

Zhang Fei immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of his finger, and saw thick smoke coming out of a small wood hundreds of steps outside the city.

Zhang Fei's heart moved and cursed: "His grandma! It turns out that those turtle lambs came in from there!"

He turned his head and shouted at the people beside him: "Send additional people to bury large tanks under the four walls, listen carefully to the movements underground! You can't let them take advantage of the loopholes!"

At the end of a war, Liu Xian's army re-adjusted its defense; at the same time, the coalition forces outside the city were reorganizing their troops and counting casualties.

In the big tent, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan's body and was heartbroken. He couldn't help but sigh: "Miaocai, Miaocai! I remember that you followed me and determined to support the world! Unexpectedly, you took a step forward before the great cause was achieved!"

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help feeling sad. Xiahou Dun clasped his fists with red eyes and said, "King of Wei, please let me lead my army to attack the city. I will dig out Zhang Fei's heart to celebrate my brother's spirit in heaven!"

Cao Cao patted Xiahou Dun on the shoulder and said, "I understand Yuan Rang's mood very well! I also wish I could break Shouchun immediately and cut Zhang Fei into pieces to sacrifice to the heroic spirit of Miaocai!

Don't worry! We can definitely avenge Miaocai! But now we must calm down! Only by being calm can we avenge Miaocai!"

He looked at Xiahou Yuan's body again, and aches in his chest, and said to Xu Chu: "Take Miaocai's body down and be buryed with great vitality!"

Xu Chu held his fists and carried Xiahou Yuan's body down himself.

Cao Cao walked to the top and walked with his back for a long time without saying a word. Everyone looked at Cao Cao, feeling sad and depressed, not knowing what to say.

Liu Bei sighed and said in disappointment: "I didn't expect that a carefully planned offensive battle would fail like this! And the losses were so heavy!..."

Mi Zhu couldn't help but say, "It's probably even more difficult to seize Shouchun if you lose this opportunity!"

Cao Cao frowned and said nothing.

At this time, Sima Zhao, who was standing next to Sima Yi, suddenly said: "It is not impossible to seize Shouchun..."

Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Sima Zhao's face. However, Sima Yi frowned and scolded Sima Zhao: "Don't talk nonsense! How can you speak nonsense in front of the King of Wei? Why don't you retreat to me!"

Sima Zhao showed a dissatisfied expression, but did not dare to disobey his father's words, and closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand and said, "There are no such concerns? Sima Zhaoruo has any ideas, but it doesn't matter!"

When Sima Yi saw Cao Cao speak, he was not good to stop Sima Zhao anymore. Sima Zhao became energetic and clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "In fact, it is not difficult to break Shouchun, you only need one plan to succeed!"

Everyone was very curious when they saw that he was so sure. Xiahou Dun, who was eager to avenge his brothers, said anxiously: "If you have a plan to seize Shouchun, I, Xiahou Dun, will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

Sima Zhao bowed to Xiahou Dun and smiled and said, "It is an honor to be able to help the general." Then he said to Cao Cao: "King of Wei, Liu Xian has always regarded himself as a false benevolence and righteousness, so as to protect the Han people!

If we drive away tens of thousands of people around us as vanguards to attack the city, we will definitely be forced to stop our troops, so that our army can successfully break through the city!"

Many people's eyes lit up and they praised them. However, Cao Cao frowned and said nothing for a long time.

Sima Yi repelled Sima Zhao and clasped his fists to Cao Cao and said, "I'd like to forgive you, lord, I really don't know the importance of it!"

Cao Cao murmured: "Planning is a good plan, but this is not what a hero does!"

Xiahou Dun said anxiously: "Since the King of Wei thinks this plan is a good plan, there is no need to hesitate anymore!"

Liu Bei thought, "Those who accomplish great things do not care about the trivial matters! If you sit down and watch Liu Xian mess with the world, there will only be more people suffering! For the livelihood of the people in the world, some current sacrifices may be inevitable!"

Cao Cao hesitated and said, "I have to think about this matter again!"

At this time, a general ran in and bowed to Cao Cao: "Report to the King of Wei, the baggage team coming from Huaiyin has arrived. The leader is waiting for orders outside the tent."

Cao Cao temporarily put down the current affairs and said to the general: "Call him in."

The general Yingnuo ran down, and a moment later, a dusty general came in to pay homage to Cao Cao.
