The battle situation on the spot was very fierce. One side tried its best to break the formation, while the other side swears to defend the front! The two sides were in a difficult situation to resolve and could not stop!

At this moment, more Cao's army continued to rush up and strengthened the power of Cao's army. The Cao's army's offensive became stronger and stronger. In the end, it continued to hit the Lu Bu's defense line like mountain torrents and waves! Gradually, the Lu Bu's army's front actually began to shake, and the Cao army was already in a trend of breaking through the front!

Crack and crackle...! A loud noise suddenly sounded in the Cao army. It turned out that the three-bow bed crossbow was shooting again! Huge gun arrows flew into the crowd, bringing out shocking blood lines, and flesh and blood flew everywhere! However, this did not stop the fierce offensive of Cao army like mountain torrents and waves. The officers and soldiers of the Lu Bu army in front felt that they were facing a huge wave, and they tried their best but were almost unable to support them! Cao army's bold attack, and the Lu Bu army's shield player continued to suffer casualties, and the situation became increasingly critical!

Finally, it seemed like a big wave broke through the embankment, and a huge sound was made on the first line of defense, and the shield line was immediately washed away! Cao's army broke through the formation and entered!

At this moment, Zhang Liao appeared on the front line, and the eight hundred warriors following him were all wearing heavy armor and holding huge battle axes! Seeing the Cao army's tide sweeping over, Zhang Liao shouted loudly and led the eight hundred warriors to face each other! In a blink of an eye, the two sides collided together, and the eight hundred warriors waved their battle axes to attack and kill wildly. In an instant, they saw flesh and blood flying across the board. In the flash of cold light, the Cao army officers and soldiers fell into a pool of blood one after another! The brave Cao army officers and soldiers called to attack the eight hundred warriors, and swords and guns kept hitting the eight hundred warriors. However, the imagined scene of flesh and blood flying across the board did not appear, but made a loud bang on the metal plate, splashing countless sparks, which shocked the Cao army officers and soldiers!

The eight hundred warriors completely ignored the attack of the Cao army officers and soldiers, and only waved the battle axe to attack and kill. The battle axe raised a piece of cold light, and everywhere they went, they killed Cao army's remaining limbs flying across the pillow! The Cao army was originally charging wildly, but in just a blink of an eye, the eight hundred warriors led by Zhang Liao were suppressed. They were killed repeatedly by the terrible offensive of the eight hundred warriors like the landslide and cracked the ground, and their formation was shaken! At the same time, the Lu Bu army launched a counterattack and cooperated with the eight hundred warriors to fight against Cao army fiercely, while the three-bow bed crossbow on both sides were

He continued to shoot the rear of Cao's army and continued to harvest their lives! The Cao army finally couldn't resist it. The entire army retreated and rushed back to the north shore along the floating bridge, scrambling to squeeze out the troops and many people were knocked into the Huai River by their companions! Zhang Liao led the army to counterattack the Cao army. The morale of the Cao army was in chaos. The fleeing officers and soldiers disrupted the troops on the north shore, and the entire army was in chaos! At this time, Zhang Liao led his army to kill in, killing Cao's army to trample on one after another, and he couldn't hold on at all! He chased for more than ten miles before he retreated!

Xiahou Dun finally stopped the defeated army and immediately gathered the troops of each army. Finally, he found that he had lost more than 10,000 people last night. He couldn't help but feel extremely upset. He wanted to find Zhang Liao to find the place, but when he saw his officers and soldiers who were so shocked that they were depressed, he knew that they would not get any benefits when they attacked. He had to station the troops on the spot and sent a messenger to report the situation here to Cao Cao, asking for instructions on the next action.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao was waiting for Xiahou Dun's good news in the camp outside Xuzhou City, but what he was waiting for was the news of the defeat of the army. He couldn't help but feel depressed and surprised. He couldn't help but murmured: "What a Zhang Liao! He actually defeated my 40,000 army with more than 10,000 troops! What a great example!"

The soldiers and soldiers of the warriors were shocked when they heard this. Le Jin said in disbelief: "General Xiahou is a rare tiger general in the world. He is extremely brave and his officers and soldiers are all brave. Zhang Liao can defeat General Xiahou with one against four?!"

Seeing that the generals were shocked, Cao Cao was worried that his morale would be affected, so he threw the bamboo slips on the desk without caring, and laughed, "Zhang Liao was just a lucky victory in this battle, not because Yuan Rang was not his opponent! The reason why Zhang Liao was able to win was because the floating bridge suddenly broke, which led to the failure of our rear army. The front army fought alone and finally was outnumbered and was defeated! Our army was about to defeat Zhang Liao! As for the later retreat, it was just that Yuan Rang took the initiative to retreat when he saw that his morale was frustrated!" Seeing that Cao Cao had passed by this easily and quickly, the generals couldn't help but feel relieved, and they just felt that it was a coincidence, and that was not Zhang Liao's ability!

Cao Cao glanced at the generals and said, "Okay, you all go down and rest." The generals bowed to Cao Cao and came out one after another. They talked about Xiahou Dun's defeat in the war. They couldn't help but sigh that Xiahou Dun was so unlucky this time. He was about to win, but he encountered such a thing as a break in the floating bridge. This can be said to be "time and fate"!

As soon as the generals left, Xun You couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "Prime Minister, since General Yuan Rang's mistake in this battle was just because of an accident, it would be better to add tens of thousands of troops to him and let him continue to attack Huainan!" Liu Ye nodded from the side to express his agreement.

Cao Cao glanced at the two of them and asked with a strange expression: "Do you really think that Yuan Rang's defeat was just an accident?"

The two were stunned, then Xun You was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is this not the case?"

Cao Cao picked up the bamboo slips and handed them to Xun You, "You can take a look at it yourself."

Xun You quickly finished the bamboo slips, looked at them quickly, and said in surprise: "It turns out to be like this! I didn't expect that Zhang Liao was really like this, so powerful!"

Cao Cao sighed, "Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, he is such a wise and brave general! I don't know how he saw through our army's disguise? And the eight hundred warriors are really brave and invincible! Our army's defeat in this battle is not unfair!"

Liu Ye also read the letter at this time and frowned: "These eight hundred warriors are probably the Xiaoyaojin warriors in the previous legend! I heard that Zhang Liao defeated tens of thousands of Sun Jian's army in Xiaoyaojin with only a few thousand elite troops, and then turned the situation around. He originally thought that it was just an exaggeration, but now it seems that the previous Xiaoyaojin battle was probably not exaggerated at all! Zhang Liao really cannot be underestimated!"

Xun You thought, "No wonder Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to guard Huainan! Judging from the current situation, if our army only divided into a partial division to attack Ailang, it would be difficult to succeed! But if we want to attack..." Cao Cao continued, "Then our retreat will be cut off by the Lu Bu army in Xuzhou, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xun You clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister is wise!" Liu Ye frowned and said, "From the current situation, we should concentrate on attacking Xuzhou. As long as we break through Xuzhou, the situation will be opened. However, we must not beware of Zhang Liao from Huainan leading his army to come north to attack us."

Cao Cao smiled, "Since Huainan is not easy to fight, we will concentrate our efforts to capture Xuzhou!" Then he showed a fierce look on his face and said fiercely: "Our army attacks with all its might. I want to see when that old boy Lu Bu can stand!" Xun You and Liu Ye couldn't help but feel more confident when Cao Cao was so arrogant. Cao Cao said to Xun You, "Immediately send someone to order Yuan Rang to retreat to ambush near Xiaqiu. If Zhang Liao leads his army north, attack me hard!" Xiaqiu is the place where the west bank of the Sishui River must pass from Huainan to Xuzhou.

Xun You's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "The Prime Minister is really smart!"

The next morning, Cao Cao gathered the main army and arranged it in the west and south of Xuzhou City. The army formation consisted of hundreds of thousands of troops was overwhelming. The army formation was like mountains, flags were like clouds, and shouts shook the mountains and rivers!

Seeing this formation, Ailang smiled and said, "It seems that my father-in-law is going to get angry!" Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, said, "The attack on Huainan failed, and the generals were damaged. Cao Cao probably made up his mind to conquer Xuzhou!"

At this time, the sound of war drums outside the city was earth-shaking, and Cao's attacking troops broke away from the formation and approached the city wall! When they were nearly two hundred steps away from the city wall, the catapult made a loud noise, and huge stones flew straight towards the city wall. The scene was very magnificent! In a blink of an eye, the stones fell like raindrops, and the ping-ping-ping-bang hit the city wall and made a huge sound! The Xuzhou city wall was tall and solid. After such an attack, the city wall was not damaged at all. Instead, the stones hit the city wall and hit themselves.

It's going to be crushed to pieces! In fact, the main purpose of such an attack is not to destroy the city wall, especially in the face of a strong city like Xuzhou. The main purpose of the catapult attack is to suppress the defenders on the city wall from a long distance so that the assault troops can attack the city wall! Stones are flying all over the sky, and a small team of Lu Bu soldiers who are mobilizing happened to be hit by a big rock flying in. At that moment, three soldiers flew with flesh and blood, and one of them was even smashed from the city wall by this huge force! The other officers and soldiers avoided one after another, and the officers roared and the scene was in chaos!

With the bombardment of the catapult cart, most of the officers and soldiers on the city wall have retreated from the city wall.

At this moment, with the loud sound of war drums, more than 10,000 Cao's attacking troops carried the ladder and pushed Feilou and Chongcheng cars and other siege equipment toward the city wall!

At this time, the crossbows on the city wall began to show their power. The three-bow crossbows fired powerful guns and arrows, flying hundreds of steps away toward the catapult position. The huge guns and arrows roared over the heads of the Cao army officers and soldiers, which made the Cao army officers and soldiers' scalp numb! Suddenly, a gun instantly pierced through a Cao army soldier who was rotating the winch, and the powerful force led the Cao army soldier to fly up. After piercing through the soldier, the guns and arrows continued to cast off, and they knocked down a Cao army officer who was standing behind the catapult car to the ground with a bang! The scene was in chaos! Huge guns and arrows kept roaring and shooting down the Cao army officers and soldiers from time to time. The huge power of the guns and arrows, as long as the Cao army officers and soldiers touched the huge power, if not dead, they would be injured!
