Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 293 Battle of Hefei!

Liu Bei cannot move rashly, and Sun Quan must speed up his progress.

Especially when the news came that Fancheng was captured by Liu Bei, Lu Xun knew that he didn't have much time left.

Fancheng has been captured and most of Cao Cao's troops have been tied up. If Hefei cannot be taken, it would be really unreasonable!

So Lu Xun attacked Hefei fiercely regardless of the casualties of his soldiers.

Don't break the city by strategy, just break it by force!
Outside the city of Hefei, Lu Xun stood on a high platform, making pre-war mobilization in front of Cao's army in Hefei!

"The loyal people of the country maintain the peace of the country, but Cao Cao has launched an uprising, and the crisis is everywhere."

"The emperor personally issued an edict, and the princes composed a song of praise together, vowing to spread the message to the wild and barbaric lands, the dark lands, to purge the Cao thieves, publicize the righteousness of the alliance, and gather the will to defeat the thieves."

"May Kunshan shine again, and the turbulent river return to its clear state. With sincerity and prestige, we can guide the cavalry and sweep away the evil spirits. With the music of Jiushao, we can comfort the emperor's heart."

Lu Xun's operation is also quite cool.

The loud calls to punish the enemy outside the city made Zhang Liao, Xun You, Cao Pi and others in the city have various thoughts when they heard it.

Especially Cao Pi.

Cao's words made him very angry.

Thinking of this, he also responded loudly, but his words were not as good as Lu Xun's.

All of a sudden, an idea came into Cao Pi's mind.

If his brother Cao Zhi were here, he might be able to respond.

However, as soon as this idea came to his mind, Cao Pi rejected it himself.

"Cao Zhi can only respond with a few words here, but it is of no use to the war."

Cao Pi looked down on Cao Zhi in his heart, but he didn't think about how he could help.

Just as I was daydreaming, I heard the pre-war mobilization outside was still going on.

"Thieves are those who seek profit. They have existed since ancient times and have all been punished. However, the reason why they have never been eradicated is because of greed, which is difficult to eradicate. Greedy thieves are greedy thieves. Thieves steal from the country and steal goods. They all act outside the law, harming the rich and are not tolerated by the world."

"Today, the world is clear and the roads are open, but the thieves only seek their own pleasure, confuse right and wrong, and bring disaster to the people, which angers the gods."

"All the generals and soldiers, you should advance with all your might. If you don't take this city today, I, Lu Xun, will be stripped of my position as the Grand Commander!"

After that, a series of trumpet sounds were heard, and the Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards the city of Hefei like leeches!

Such a strong attack would kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of our own, which is a very bad strategy.

Zhang Liao looked calm on the city wall, watching tens of thousands of soldiers from Jiangdong charging towards the city without showing any fear.

However, Cao Pi next to him was a little panicked.

Seeing Lu Xun holding the Wuhou Sword in one hand and pointing it to the sky in the distance, standing still, he couldn't help but worry, "The enemy is huge, can I lead a part of the troops to attack the middle army?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "No! All the Jiangdong soldiers are outside the city. Leaving the city would be like walking into a trap!"

"Don't worry, my prince. Jiangdong's siege of the city is in vain!"

"If we fail to capture it today, Jiangdong will certainly lose its morale, and Hefei will no longer be a worry!"

"This is the time for a decisive battle, so don't be disloyal!"

Of course, Zhang Liao was speaking in a positive way.

If we can withstand the offensive from Jiangdong today, of course, as Zhang Liao said, it will be absolutely impossible to attack the city with such a desperate force again!

After all, this kind of siege war is extremely brutal, and if it happens once, there can't be a second time.

If we can't defeat them, it's unlikely that we can ask people to fight to the death.

But if we can’t defend the city today, there will be no follow-up.

...

The Jiangdong soldiers bravely went up to the city, and the Cao Wei side put up a desperate resistance.

There are generals on both sides who are not afraid of death.

Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin were all at the forefront of the city wall. Jiangdong was not to be outdone, and Xu Sheng, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin, these Jiangdong generals were even more fearless!

The entire city of Hefei is a huge meat grinder.

Both sides were so blood-thirsty that no wailing or screaming could affect their mood.

The killing is devastating!
No one retreats!
just
There are just too many people from Jiangdong!

After fighting for an hour, Cao Pi felt that the city of Hefei could no longer be defended!
"General Zhang! The east gate has been breached!"

"General Le has charged into the enemy camp! He is nowhere to be seen now!"

"Not good, the southern tower is full of Jiangdong soldiers, General Li Dian was defeated and forced to retreat!"

Cao Pi's ears were filled with bad news!
Either the city gate on this side was breached, or the city tower over there was climbed up by Jiangdong soldiers. In short, it was all bad news!

“Hefei is going to be destroyed!”

This thought suddenly popped up in Cao Pi's mind, and in a panic, he went to find Xun You.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked for him. Once he looked for Xun You, Cao Pi felt something was wrong.

Why?

The moment he saw Xun You, Cao Pi saw a gray face.

Cao Pi was shocked when he saw this and exclaimed, "Xun Gong, why are you like this?"

Xun You not only looked unhappy, but he seemed to have no strength to speak, but he shook his head and said, "I never thought that Jiangdong's morale was so strong that they would not retreat even after fighting for an hour!"

"It seems that the news of the defeat in Fancheng has particularly concerned the people of Jiangdong."

Xun You's sigh made Cao Pi even feel dry in the mouth.

He then asked anxiously: "Lord Xun, Hefei is about to be captured, what should we do?"

Cao Pi asked this question, but his meaning was very clear.

Seeing that the city was in ruins, he wanted to run away!

However, as soon as these words were spoken, Xun You's expression suddenly changed.

He grabbed Cao Pi and said, "Fancheng has been captured, but Hefei must not be lost!"

"Otherwise, the Central Plains will be divided up between the Sun and Liu families. How can this be possible?"

Cao Pi said: "Xun Gong, I also know that this city must not be lost, but the current situation is like this, what should I do?"

Xun You's face was tough, but the grayish color from before was gone. He said seriously: "Prince! Today's battle depends entirely on you. If you can go into battle and say that you are wearing armor for the King of Wei, the morale can be turned around and the war can still turn around!"

!

Cao Pi was startled when he heard this, but he kept wanting to take a step back.

Unexpectedly, Xun You seemed to have expected this and had already grabbed Cao Pi.

At this moment, he did not let go, and only said: "At present, neither side has any strategy, only strength! Jiangdong has more troops, and is willing to exchange tens of thousands of people for a Hefei city."

"Even if Jiang Taigong were still alive, he would be helpless. Only if the prince takes action can the situation be reversed!"

After all, Cao Pi was only in his twenties. Although he had long thought about fighting on the battlefield, he was terrified by the bloody siege and the horrific life-for-life fighting.

When he came to find Xun You, Cao Pi had already thought about abandoning the city. Now if you ask him to turn the tide, he really can't do it!

However, he wanted to refuse Xun You, but he didn't know how to start. He just looked embarrassed, hesitated, and didn't dare to speak.

Xun You became very anxious when he saw this.

But he called out: "This is not a matter of one war, it is a matter of the world, Prince, you must not hesitate!"

After saying that, I don’t know why, maybe because of anger, I suddenly fainted!

Cao Pi was startled and was about to call for help, but he came to his senses immediately.

Xun You's fainting helped him out.
