Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 307 Yanzhou Emergency Report
Xuzhou, outside the city of Xiapi, Cao Cao's army is ready to go, and it is completely plain, but in this spring full of vitality, it shows a sense of chilling.

Cao Cao straddled his pawed yellow flying horse, took two steps forward, pointed at the city wall with his whip, and cursed: "Tao Qian, don't hesitate to sacrifice the city and kill yourself, but when will you wait?"

Tao Qian stood on the city wall, frowning, looking at Cao Cao's army, he couldn't help sighing, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shu's two reinforcements were defeated by Cao Cao, now he is the only one, how can he resist Cao Cao's attack.

"Cao Cao, you broke through Pengcheng and slaughtered innocent people. You will be punished by God for such atrocity!" Tao Qian responded.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Although I killed the people of Pengcheng, they died because of you. They are innocent. Does my father deserve to die?"

"To kill innocent people indiscriminately, although Tao Qian is not talented, he is still willing to stick to Xiapi and protect the people on this side." Tao Qian changed the subject, looking awe-inspiring and righteous.

Cao Cao was very angry and shouted: "I will attack this city today, but there are living creatures in Xiapi City, and none will be left!"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the soldiers in Xiapi City turned pale, and soon the words spread to the ears of the people in the city.

The entire city of Xiapi was soon filled with fear, and everyone panicked. However, this fear, under Tao Qian's deliberate guidance, made the soldiers and people of Xiapi city united and vowed to keep Xiapi to the death. .

Cao Cao was blinded by the anger of revenge at this time, and he didn't think so much at all, which invisibly increased the difficulty of attacking the city.

Tao Qian heard Cao Cao's words, but the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he shouted loudly: "Today, I, Tao Qian, will risk my life to keep Xiapi City safe!"

"Live and die with Xiapi City!"

"Swear to follow Master State Shepherd!"

"Never let Cao's soldiers enter the city one by one!"

……

When Cao Cao heard the voices of the soldiers shouting in Xiapi City, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but he immediately understood that what he said just now relieved himself, but it made the other party feel as if death was at home, and their morale was greatly boosted.

We can't procrastinate any longer. If we procrastinate any longer, not only will the other party's morale be boosted, but it will also affect the morale of our own side.

Moreover, Cao Cao's army consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and if it is delayed for a day, it will be variable for one more day.

Having made up his mind, Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted: "My soldiers and generals, attack the city!"

After the order was issued, the soldiers of Cao Bing began to attack Xiapi City with various siege equipment and shields.

"General Cao, Xiapi City will be handed over to you!" Tao Qian said to Cao Bao.

Cao Bao nodded and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. With Xiapi City as my reliance, I will discipline Cao Cao and return without success."

Tao Qian nodded and stopped talking. Tao Qian is not good at fighting with soldiers, and now that he is old, he doesn't have so much energy to direct the battle himself.

With Tao Qian's authorization, Cao Bao quickly walked to the edge of the city wall and shouted: "Archers are ready, let the arrows go!"

With an order, there seemed to be a rain of arrows on the city wall, and a sharp arrow shot at the attacking Cao soldiers one after another.

Although most of Cao's soldiers were wearing shields, there were still many people who were shot to death by sharp arrows piercing through the gaps.

However, Cao's soldiers were so numerous that the number of soldiers who died was insignificant, and the siege equipment had already been transported to the city.

"Get ready for the falling rock, let it go!" Cao Bao ordered again.

Big stones were thrown from the city wall, the small ones were the size of a watermelon, and the big ones were like a millstone.

This time, ordinary shields can't do much, even if they are blocked, the force of the falling boulder will smash the soldiers through the shield to vomit blood, what's more, they will burst their brains.

Fortunately, the sergeants with sharp eyesight and quick hands climbed up along the siege equipment, so that they could shoot at the defenders on the city wall.

Coupled with the limited number of falling rocks, Cao Bing's offensive gradually started. A high ladder was put on the city wall, and Cao Bing began to climb up.

However, Cao Bao was obviously not flustered at this time, and quickly continued to order: "Pour the oil!"

As soon as the order was given, the defenders poured hot oil from the city wall onto Cao Bing's heads.

This rolling oil is different from falling rocks and bows and arrows. Falling rocks hit the body and bows and arrows hit the body. As long as it is not a fatal position, just bear it.

But if the boiling oil is poured on the body, no matter where it is, it will be unbearable pain, and the smell of fried meat wafts from under the city wall for a while.

In addition, the people in Xiapi City were organized and consciously brought food from their homes to make food for the defenders on the city wall who resisted Cao Bing.

Those injured defenders will be carried down immediately, their wounds will be bandaged, and they will receive first aid.

Many people even participated in the city defense, and promptly rested those parts of the city wall that were damaged by Cao Bing's attack.

The soldiers in Xiapi City were united, and the Cao soldiers who defended for a while were helpless. Seeing the sun go down, no one was able to attack the city of Xiapi City.

Cao Cao was very helpless, he didn't expect that his words would have such a bad effect, so he waved his hand and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Therefore, Cao Bing returned in vain after attacking the city, leaving only the corpses of nearly a thousand soldiers under Xiapi City.

After retreating ten miles from the city and setting up camp, Cao Cao gathered all the generals to discuss how to break the city.

While discussing, suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes outside, followed by a loud shout: "Yanzhou urgent report! Emergency report!"

Cao Cao's heart trembled, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly shouted, "Let it in!"

As soon as the words were finished, a soldier rushed into the tent, fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted: "My lord, it's not good, Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao colluded with Liu Bei, attacked Yanzhou, and has entered Puyang!"

Hearing this news, Cao Cao suddenly heard a bang in his head, and he was stunned on the spot. The messenger said, "Thanks to Mr. Cheng Yu's plan, he, together with General Li Dian and General Le Jin, saved Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan County. In three places, Li Dian and General Le Jin repeatedly attacked Liu Bei, but they were all defeated by him and could not be regained. I hope the lord will return quickly to help!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao's expression eased a little, and he ordered the messenger to stay and rest.

Xiahou Dun immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, the current plan is to go back to rescue Yanzhou. If Yanzhou is lost, we will have nowhere to stand."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Rang is right. Yanzhou must not be lost, but we can't just withdraw in such a hasty manner."

"Why? Bing is so expensive!" Xiahou Dun said anxiously.

Cao Cao chuckled and said, "If you withdraw your troops hastily, then if Tao Qian comes after you and fights hastily, you will inevitably suffer a defeat."

After Xiahou Dun heard this, he also understood and nodded. Cao Cao said, "Wen Ze obeys orders!"

"The end is here!" Yu Jin stepped out, waiting for Cao Cao's order.
