Chapter 856 Time is running out?

Puyang City,
His ears were already filled with the sound of huge horns. Cao Cao heard the deafening shouts of killing, and his eyes were full of panic and anger.He firmly pressed the gauze-wrapped wound on his side face, watched the deafening shouts of the siege troops in front of him, and rushed forward without hesitation.

In fact, Cao Cao's barracks had indeed begun to lack food.But it was not to the point where it was necessary to withdraw, and after Huzihe defeated Lu Bu's main force in the first battle, Cao Cao used a small plan to regroup the entire army and swung his troops back to attack Puyang City.

Originally, under Cao Cao's expectation, the main force of Lu Bu's army had been disabled by him, and it only took one effort to capture Puyang City.At the same time, in order to express his sincerity to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao decided to cooperate with Yuan Shao's [-] army to jointly attack Puyang City.

but!

At this moment, they have been attacking for a whole morning, but the morale of the defenders in Puyang City is still unabated, and there is no sign of collapse or panic.Such a situation made Cao Cao, who was already red-eyed, naturally feel restless.

Relying on the proficient skills and battlefield intuition honed in the battlefield for many years, the four thousand Cao troops first went to show their abilities, and despite the dense arrow rain attack, they came to the city almost unscathed and took their positions—— Yes, at this point in the war, Cao Cao no longer sent those cannon fodder soldiers to test and die, but used the elite soldiers in the army: the few well-trained Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao's personal command!
Sure enough, these Qingzhou soldiers did not disappoint Cao Cao. They took advantage of the opportunity when it was difficult for the soldiers on the city to come out and shoot arrows vertically. People pushed the cart made of crudely nailed large wooden stakes, and under the cover of several layers of thick cowhide, they came to the city gate. The huge impact sound crushed the horns and snare drums.

Suddenly, the defenders on the city panicked, and it seemed that many people fell to the ground.

"The city is about to collapse!" Amidst the laughter and cheers of the surrounding people, Cao Cao finally relaxed the muscles on his face and murmured.

Cao Cao has led the army for many years. With his talent and persevering comprehension, he has already mastered the heart of domination.And the ability to accurately judge the enemy's situation is even more proficient: in the short moment just now, he has seen that the defenders in Puyang this time seem to have never had the experience of defending the city.In such a situation, the defenders should immediately put down the rolling logs and falling rocks, and at the same time use the poles to hold up the ladder. After a little hesitation, let the siege army climb the city wall, and the situation is over—a dozen Qingzhou warriors have already moved quickly. Go up quickly!

Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. The city wall is an important fortification of the city, and it is also a psychological barrier that the defenders rely on to defend against the enemy.Now that they are quickly broken through after only one blow, this is a great blow to the fighting spirit of the defenders, and the troops with a slightly lower quality will collapse directly in all likelihood.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Many people showed expressions of relief: Many generals with sharp eyes like Cao Cao have already seen that the people in the dilapidated city of Puyang are no longer men in armor. Soldiers, but farmers covered in sackcloth, and even wealthy merchants in silk!

Such a situation couldn't help causing a stern look in Cao Cao's eyes: the people in Puyang must have heard about the massacre in Xuzhou, and they were afraid that they would start killing again in Puyang.Because of this, he was bewitched by Lu Bu and came to defend the city with all his might!

However, this is also good, when I break through Puyang, I must let them get what they want and know the consequences of betraying the Cao family!However, Xun Yu, a benevolent gentleman, will definitely come to dissuade him, right?And the Cao family is indeed troubled both internally and externally, and it is not appropriate to start killing again...

Just as Cao Cao was dreaming about the fate of the people in Puyang, Xiahou Dun suddenly pointed at the city wall of Puyang: "Lord Sikong, look!"

At the same time, the surrounding soldiers also let out a burst of exclamation, Cao Cao had no time to think, and looked up.

I saw two dead soldiers from Qingzhou climbing the city wall, dragging their bloody tails, falling down from the city wall, howling and dancing.Next came the third, fourth... After a little effort, all the Qingzhou soldiers who had just gone up turned into corpses and were thrown off the city wall.

Unbelievable anger suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's eyes. He really didn't expect that when the city wall was about to be breached and Xiandeng had already succeeded in a surprise attack, there would be a shocking reversal on the city wall!

"Meng De, it's Lu Bu!" Xiahou Dun pointed to the top of the city again, and said with surprise in his eyes.

At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were the same as that day when Lu Bu locked him up again, staring at the tall figure on the city wall: It can be seen that after the battle of Huzihe, Lu Bu's skills were indeed much weaker.However, his appearance gave all Puyang defenders a shot in the arm that couldn't be ignored!
"This is impossible. In the battle of Huzihe, Lu Bu first suffered internal injuries, and then he was shot three times with arrows and countless swords and guns. At this time, he should have been bedridden, how could he still appear on the city wall?!" Cao Cao Waving his whip and shouting angrily, at this moment, he already hated this lone wolf in troubled times to the bottom of his heart, and of course, he was also jealous from the bottom of his heart.

And looking at Lu Bu who cut off the Qingzhou soldier's head with a halberd at this time, Xiahou Dun saw the head of the Qingzhou soldier flying into the air amidst the blood splattering, and the headless body was kicked backwards, throwing the ladder to the ground. Several soldiers who followed behind took them down.

After thinking for a while, Xiahou Dun calmly said, "Lord Sikong, Lu Bu's life is not long... At this time, he should already be fighting with his life burning, and he still has more energy than he wants. How have you ever seen Lu Bu before?" To kill someone, do you still need to kick the soldiers away after cutting off their heads?..."

"Huh?" Cao Cao was delighted when he heard this.But looking at Lu Bu killing Qingzhou soldiers with more and more unnecessary effort, Cao Cao's eyes showed a trace of regret and reluctance, and he murmured: "This lone wolf is also my life's strong enemy. If he dies, It's a pity and a pity..."

"Meng De!" Xia Houdun suddenly heard Cao Cao's words, and couldn't help feeling anxious, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "This is not the time to love talents, we need..."

Having said that, Xiahou Dun could no longer speak anymore, because he had seen Cao Cao raise his blocking right hand.I also saw the cold eyes in Cao Cao's eyes, and then, I heard the voice in his dream:

"We need Lu Bu's head to establish the reputation of the Cao family's number one military god in the Central Plains! At the same time, I need to be more careful and forbearing. Therefore, Lu Fengxian's head should be snatched by Yuan Shao's generals!"

"Meng De...this?"

"Yuan Rang, don't forget that Lu Fengxian is Ma Chao's father-in-law after all! And the anger of the God of War in Yongliang is not something our Cao family can bear..."

Xiahou Dun's eyes turned angry, obviously dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words.However, after thinking about it for a while, he could only show a helpless look of submission, and said to Cao Cao sincerely: "Meng De really has far-reaching wisdom..."

"Send an order to inform Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jai that Puyang City is about to be breached. The Cao family wants to dedicate this credit to the three generals!" Cao Cao said, but after thinking for a while, he said directly to Xiahou Dun: " Yuan Rang, you should go there in person, it is best to disclose Lu Bu's situation to those three people quietly, I believe that the head of the world's number one martial god will make these three people very excited..."

Xiahou Dun was taken aback for another moment, and then immediately clasped his fists in salute, and said, "This subordinate understands..."

"Lü Bu, Lv Bu, it's really a great regret in my life that I, Cao Mengde, can't take a tiger and wolf general like you under my command. Looking at the figure of Lu Bu fighting in Puyang City again, Cao Cao made up his mind: the people in Puyang City should not be killed indiscriminately.Perhaps, one day, only those who have met Lu Bu in person will pass on the story of the God of War Lu Bu through word of mouth, right? ...
