Chapter 261 Xiaopei's Fall

Cao's army launched a more fierce offensive, like the storm of storms, the city of Xiaopei was in storm, as if it would be completely overwhelmed by the terrible wave at any time!

Cao's army attacked fiercely for two days, day and night, and the defenders of Xiaopei City could not resist. They were broken by Cao's army on the west, south and north, and the defense line collapsed. Cao's army rushed into the city on three sides and quickly occupied the whole city. Cao Cao climbed to the city gate and looked at the small city in front of him, laughing: "You must not believe it! Although I only captured this small Xiaopei, I feel more excited than when I captured Jizhou!" Everyone laughed. Liu Ye clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the army has been attacking for many days and is quite tired. It's better to just rest in Xiaopei for two days before attacking Xuzhou!" Cao Cao laughed: "I wish I could take Xuzhou tonight! But what Ziyang said makes sense. Haste is not enough. You don't have to seize Xuzhou. At this moment, the army will rest in Xiaopei for two days. When you have enough energy, you can seize Xuzhou in one fell swoop!"

Cao's army rested in Xiaopei. However, because Cao's army was too large, only a small part of them entered the city, and most of the troops remained in the camp outside the city.

Cao Cao stood in the lobby of Xiaopeiguan, standing in front of a map, looking at the map with a thoughtful look.

Xun You and Liu Ye came in, and when they saw Cao Cao, they clasped their fists together and said, "Lord!"

Cao Cao's eyes were still on the map and said, "I feel it is more difficult to break through Xuzhou than I thought before, so I have sent people to Luoyang to transfer troops. I plan to transfer another 200,000 troops."

The two looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Lord is wise."

Cao Cao looked at the map and frowned: "There is something very strange. I wonder if you have noticed it?"

Xun You smiled and clasped his fists and said, "My lord must be talking about the Lu Bu army in the city. Our army searched all over the city and did not find any soldiers. The remaining soldiers of Lu Bu army must have escaped eastward." Cao Cao frowned and said, "That's what I said, but this time I didn't feel like it." Xun You asked in confusion: "My lord means...?" "I think they seem to be still in the city." Xun You and Liu Ye looked at each other, and Liu Ye smiled and clasped his fists and said, "My lord is worried! Our army has searched all over the city, how could they hide it! The lord feels something is wrong. It must be because the enemy fled too fast, so he didn't see the scene of them being defeated and running away!"

Cao Cao burst into laughter and nodded, "Ziyang is right, I may have been over-concerned again!" He turned around, "Okay, it's okay. It's getting late, so you can go down and rest." Xun You and Liu Ye saw that their lord called him in a hurry for such an illusory thing. They thought there was something urgent before, so they put down the job they had just picked up and rushed over! The two of them couldn't help but feel a little amused and laughed. They bowed to Cao Cao and left the hall. Cao Cao looked at the map in front of them again and went to the back to rest.

Xun You and Liu Ye came out of the hall, and Liu Ye couldn't help but say, "My lord is good, but sometimes he thinks too much!" Xun You smiled, "It's nothing wrong with thinking too much, just we subordinates can help the lord decide!" Liu Ye nodded with a smile, and then sighed: "To be honest, the combat power of Lu Bu's army is far beyond my imagination! I originally thought that I could defeat Xiao Pei in at most two days, but it took more than five days! Including the time spent by Guo Si and Li Que, we have spent more than six days.

I originally thought that 40,000 elite cavalry besieged Lu Bu and 10,000 war cavalry, and Lu Bu would definitely surrender, but he didn't expect that a fierce battle would be extremely fierce and they would eventually kill him out of a bloody road! Such a tiger and wolf are really rare in the world! In terms of combat power alone, only the elite of the lord's headquarters can match him!" Xun You frowned and nodded, then smiled and said, "There is no need to worry about this. The elite of our army is not weaker than them, but our army's strength is far superior to them. Our army actually has an 80% chance of winning in this battle!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Lu Bu is now our strongest opponent. When Lu Bu is eliminated in this battle, the world has almost fallen into our hands." Xun You nodded with a smile.

The various units of the Cao army were scattered in various parts of Xiaopei City. Although the people in the city had already fled, under Cao Cao's strict orders, all the officers and soldiers did not dare to live in the houses randomly. Most of the officers and soldiers set up tents on the streets or in open spaces to live. Piles of bonfires were scattered in various parts of the city. From a distance, they looked like stars in the sky.

There were more than twenty tents in the open space near the city gate in the east of the city, and hundreds of Cao army officers and soldiers temporarily lived here. It was already midnight, and most of the officers and soldiers had entered the tent to rest, while several officers and soldiers on duty were sitting by a bonfire and dozing.

A black shadow quietly approached from behind a soldier. Suddenly, one hand was placed on the soldier's shoulder. The dozing soldier was frightened and woke up. Then he found that the captain of his team came from behind. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Li, I almost scared to death by you!" The captain glared at his eyes and said unhappily: "Is it time to sleep now? Get up!" The soldier stood up quickly and kicked the other two soldiers beside him with his feet. The two soldiers looked sleepy and looked at him. Seeing the captain right in front of him, they stood up quickly.

The captain shouted angrily: "I just went to get some shit, and you guys are lazy! If the patrol team finds out, you can't afford to take care of them!" The three soldiers looked at them at a loss. One soldier couldn't help but say: "Brother Li, the enemy has been defeated by us. This is in the city again, what else can I guard against? I think this is simply an unnecessary move!" The other two soldiers immediately agreed.

The captain cursed: "Take so much nonsense! Since the lord's military order is like this, we must strictly implement it! One set in person and one behind the scenes is what those useless scholars do, not what we do! Do you understand?" Several soldiers nodded quickly and said: "I understand!" "Okay, come with me and walk around." As he said that, the captain walked out of the camp and planned to go around the camp, and several soldiers under him quickly followed.

A few people walked around the camp. It was the second half of the night. Everything was quiet between the world, and it felt as if there were only a few of them here.

"Huh? Are there anyone?" A soldier suddenly pointed to a dark alley on the left. The others looked in the direction of his fingers, and indeed saw the figures in the alley. The light was too dark and they couldn't see it in detail. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people, with dozens or hundreds of people. The captain said to his subordinate soldiers with anger: "Look! Are there so many people still patrolling? Don't fucking think you have suffered a loss!" The three soldiers smiled awkwardly, and one of them said: "We are not afraid of losing, but we just think there is no need!" The captain glared and said: "You kid, you know nothing! If you understand, you will patrol here in the middle of the night!" The soldier smiled embarrassedly.

The four people walked for a while. When the captain saw the people in the dark alley coming straight to this side, he stopped and asked loudly, "Command!"

But the other party did not speak, but instead came quickly. Dozens or hundreds of people ran in the dark, and the sound of rapid footsteps broke the silence of the night.

The captain frowned and shouted, "The command! Have you heard it?" Seeing that he rushed straight away without saying anything, his heart immediately moved, his face changed, and he shouted, "It's the enemy!" As he said that, he pulled out the ring-headed sword with a clang. At this moment, more than a dozen sharp arrows flew out of the people. Before the four Cao army soldiers could react, they were knocked to the ground by arrows, and screamed through the night sky. When Cao army soldiers heard it, they couldn't help but look in the sound, and for a moment they thought they had heard it wrong?

The dark shadows rushed out of the alley and rushed straight into the camp of Cao's army in the open space, split into multiple strands and rushed into each tent, slashing around! Countless Cao's officers and soldiers were killed in their sleep! The Cao's officers and soldiers who woke up were hiding to avoid the enemy when they saw the enemy coming fiercely, and before they could find their weapons, they were chopped down to the ground and died in a bad life; the lucky officers and soldiers drilled out from the ground in a dark and chaotic chaos. The originally calm camp became chaotic and bloody in an instant.

More than this place, fighting and screaming suddenly broke out everywhere in the city. Teams of Lu Bu soldiers launched a fierce attack on the unprepared Cao army as if they were coming out of the ground! Screams one after another, and Cao army caught off guard was in chaos!

Cao Cao had just rested, but was awakened by the sudden screams and fighting sounds from outside. Cao Cao quickly got out of the bed, grabbed his sword, and ran out of the bedroom. At this time, Cao Hong led a large group of iron-armored guards to Cao Cao's bedroom, clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister!" Cao Cao heard screams and fighting sounds from everywhere, and was shocked and suspicious, asking, "What's going on outside?"

Cao Hong shook his head, "I don't know! When the last general heard something wrong, he led his army to the Prime Minister!"

At this time, Xun You and Liu Ye hurried to Cao Cao, clasped their fists and said, "Prime Minister!" Xun You said anxiously, "Lu Bu's army came from, and it raided our army. The city was in chaos. Prime Minister quickly retreated from the city!"

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly flew towards Cao Cao. At this moment, an iron-armored guard moved his body and blocked Cao Cao behind him. The sharp arrow was nailed to the guard's neck. The guard snorted and fell to the ground! Everyone was shocked, and Cao Hong roared angrily: "There is an assassin! Protect the Prime Minister!" The iron-armored guards immediately protected Cao Cao.
