Chapter 359: Solution to Xuzhou
Chapter 359: Interpretation of Xuzhou
Zhao Yun and Liu Bei seemed to have had a tacit understanding, attacking Cao Cao's headquarters from one left and the other, and directly opted to ignore the danger at the head of Xuzhou City. Perhaps they did not care much about the fall of Xuzhou City.
In the storm, two armies passed by rapidly, and the fierce murderous intent emitted by the weapons in their hands made the world terrified.
"Retreat!" Cao Cao did not hesitate and directly issued an order to withdraw his troops.
Who is Cao Cao? He is a heroic and suspicious person by nature. As soon as the two armies appeared, he thought of the Zhenxi Army. In this world, only Huangfu Jian had the courage to stroke his tail, but he didn't expect that there was another young hero who was doing the same thing as Huangfu Jian. If he knew that the little Liu Bei was also here, he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
Since Huangfu Jian's Zhenxi Army has arrived, Cao Cao knew that he had no hope of attacking Xuzhou and there was no chance at all. Cao Cao also had a natural fear of Huangfu Jian deep in his heart, and he was also a generation that grew up under the shadow of Huangfu Jian.
"Clang, ding, ding..." Cao's army sounded the sound of retreating gongs, and the sound of the gongs were broken, and it quickly spread across all sides of Xuzhou City in the wind, rain, and lightning.
When Xiahou Dun, who was silly killing at the top of Xuzhou City, was about to become the first hero to break through Xuzhou City, but when he heard the harsh sound of retreating gongs, he was so angry that he looked up at the sky and cursed loudly.
But the military orders were difficult to violate. Although Xiahou Dun didn't know what happened, and although he didn't know why his clan brother issued an order to withdraw troops at this critical moment. However, the military orders were as high as a mountain, and Xiahou Dun dared not obey them. Although he was very unwilling, he still issued a vicious order to retreat.
At the same time, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Li Dian were also doing the same thing, but they were much more miserable than that. After nearly a day of hard fighting, most of the 20,000 soldiers under their command had been killed or injured, and they were even exhausted and hungry. Seeing that Xuzhou City was about to be obtained, Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of his troops, so how could they be willing?
Retreat, retreat! The Cao army retreated in pain in all directions, licked the wounds on his body alone, and gathered at Cao Cao's central army.
"Cao army retreated! Cao army retreated!" The soldiers who were not dead on the front of Xuzhou city cheered in a loud voice, and roared in the wind and rain. The Xuzhou defenders who survived the disaster, the people of Xuzhou city forgot the corpses under their feet, and their blood was dancing wildly, venting their desire for life.
On the Xuzhou city gate tower, Tao Qian flashed a pair of faint old eyes, looking at the retreating Cao army for no reason. He was both excited and confused. Of course, the excitement was that Cao army finally withdrew. His life and his son's life were temporarily saved, and his Tao family's ancestral tomb was not afraid of being dug by Cao Cao.
But Tao Qian was confused again. The rain was too much, the wind was blowing, and there were crackling thunder. Tao Qian couldn't see or hear the situation behind Cao Cao, so he couldn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops. He didn't think so. In the end, Tao Qian treated Cao Cao's withdrawal as a discovery of conscience, and couldn't bear to wail in Xuzhou City.
Tao Qian's two great strategists also stood at the top of the city and were stunned. Cao's army retreated. Originally, Chen Gong was thinking of dying for the city, but now he couldn't die. Chen Gong was very disappointed. He was rare to be brave once. At first, he thought it was so difficult to die?
Staff are strategists. Chen Gong and Chen Deng many times thought that something was wrong in the rear of Cao's army. They didn't understand what happened for a moment. Both of them opened their eyes wide and looked at the location where Cao Cao was, and raised their ears to listen to the abnormality in the wind.
Just as the Xuzhou army was cheering on the top of the city, the four Cao troops had retreated to the central army and joined forces with Cao Cao's troops. At this time, Zhao Yun's cavalry was getting closer and closer to Cao's army, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves overshadowed all the sounds. At this time, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals knew the reason why Cao Cao ordered his withdrawal. It turned out that he was hitting others, and there were some people's retreats.
The horse's hooves were shaking and the momentum was surging! Cao Cao didn't want to put himself in danger.
"Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, you two lead the rear guard of the palace to block the enemy!" Cao Cao issued an order quickly. At the critical moment, Cao Cao still believed in his clan's brothers and handed over the important task of the rear guard to the two brothers.
"As for order!" The situation was urgent, and the two agreed without hesitation. Now, no one knew how many troops had arrived in the Zhenxi Army. From the rumbling iron hooves, Cao Ren knew that the number of enemies was not small, and it is better to ensure Cao Cao's safety now.
"Retreat!" Cao Cao roared again, although the roar seemed a little fragile in the rumbling horse hooves.
Less than three miles away from here is the camp of Cao's army. Cao Cao led the army to retreat to the camp. Before he could figure out the situation of Zhenxi Army, he had no choice but to take control of the camp. With the protection of the camp, Cao Cao believed that he could still block the cavalry of Zhenxi Army for a period of time.
In this life, due to the emergence of Huangfu Sword, Cao Cao's development was greatly restricted, and he did not form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which was famous in the world in later generations. Instead, the Zhenxi Army established three elite iron cavalry, namely Dragon, Tiger and Leopard.
"Boom!" Zhao Yun's dragon cavalry crashed into Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren's defenders. Zhao Yun's silver spear flashed with thousands of spears, fighting among the Cao army. Cao army screamed and fell under his gun. Who could block his sharp edge?
"Zhao Yun!" Zhao Zilong, Xiahou Dun recognized him, and Cao Ren also recognized him. The two of them almost exclaimed at the same time. The three of them had cooperated when they attacked Dong, and they were considered old acquaintances. They didn't want to meet again, but this was the case.
Zhao Yun didn't know if he heard Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren's exclamation, but the spear in his hand still did not stop, and the ten thousand dragon cavalry behind him would not stop. The ten thousand iron cavalry used Zhao Yun as the arrow to form a sharp assault formation, how could it stop just because the three of them knew each other? The powerful rush of the dragon cavalry was that even the elite Cao army led by Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren could not resist it.
As he drilled in, ten thousand dragon cavalry went deeper into the Cao army's formation.
Cao's army's bows and arrows shot on the dragon cavalry's exquisite battle suit, with little effect. Cao's army's swords and shields were no match for the spears in the hands of the dragon cavalry soldiers. Cao's most elite troops also seemed pale and powerless in front of these ten thousand dragon cavalry.
"Stop!" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and slapped his horse and met Zhao Yun. Although Xiahou Dun did not want to be an enemy of Zhao Yun at this time, if he wanted to block the ten thousand dragon cavalry, he had to cut off Zhao Yun's arrow first.
"Dang!" Xiahou Dun cut the rain curtain in his hand and hung Zhao Yun's silver spear.
"General Zhao Yun, you and our army have no grievances or grudges, and there is also the friendship of alliance. Why do you want to attack our army?" Xiahou Dun asked loudly with anger in his eyes. Until this time, Xiahou Dun did not want to turn against the Zhenxi Army, so he came to convince others with reason.
"I have no grudge against you, but General Cao's killing is too heavy, and God has a good life. My lord can't bear to watch General Cao commit another murder, so I ordered me to stop him." Zhao Yun waved his gun and fought with Xiahou Dun, and said coldly. Zhao Yun was born in Changshan and had a poor family. He was extremely shameful for Cao Cao's behavior of killing innocent people.
The rain stopped! The wind stopped! The sky was dark and the clouds were gone, and the sun began to shine on the earth again.
"The murder is too serious?" Xiahou Dun laughed out loud or angry. "If it comes to killing people, I am afraid that the general in the world will be the number one general, and no one dares to be the second." Xiahou Dun said with a sneer.
Xiahou Dun's words are factual. Since Huangfu Jian was born, there are not a million people who died directly or indirectly under his command. There are hundreds of thousands of people. This is called the world's largest devil. However, Huangfu Jian never kills innocent people, and even surrendered troops generally do not kill them. Compared with that, the reputation is much better than Cao Cao.
"My lord kills people who should be killed. Cao Cao kills innocent people indiscriminately, how can he compare to my lord!" Zhao Yun showed a drows on his white face and said coldly.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding..." The two world-class generals used their own means to kill them, and they were difficult to distinguish.
The two of them flew into battle, and swords and guns kept colliding together. The dozens of feet of the chaotic army became the battlefield for the two to fight, and idlers were not close to each other.
Xiahou Dun held Zhao Yun, but the dragon cavalry that he took for granted did not stop because of losing the arrow. The arrow formation of ten thousand dragon cavalry turned into a long snake formation. There were ten thousand generals under Zhao Yun, and there were hundreds of hundred generals behind the ten thousand generals. They formed the cornerstone of the dragon cavalry. Ten thousand dragon cavalry led by ten thousand cavalry generals, and drove them windingly among the Cao army, swaying troops to cover the killing in the Cao army, and did not lose the attack power because Zhao Yun was dragged by Xiahou Dun.
Just when Xiahou Dun and Zhao Yun were fighting in the dark, Liu Bei and Guan Yu brothers also led 10,000 Qingzhou troops to kill, and of course the target they attacked and killed was Cao's army. Although they were surprised that the dragon cavalry of Zhenxi Army appeared here, no matter how surprised they were, they did not affect their plans, at least not their plans for the time being. At present, the purpose of Zhenxi Army was still the same as that of Liu and Guan.
"Kill!" Liu Bei pulled out his two swords, Guan Yu dragged Qinglong Yanyue, roared, and rushed towards Cao's army with ten thousand Qingzhou troops. Like a tiger descending from the mountain, like a wild horse breaking out of the border, Cao's army, which had already been scattered by the dragon cavalry of the Zhenxi Army, with the rushing of these ten thousand troops, how could it withstand the rushing of this 10,000 army?
"Retreat!" Cao Ren held a big knife and pressed against Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue and issued an order to retreat.
They were ordered to stop the enemy, not to trap the more than 20,000 elite troops here. After dragging the iron cavalry of Zhenxi Army for so long, Cao Ren thought that Cao Cao should lead his army into the camp. It would be meaningless for them to fight to the death, and it would only increase casualties!
Zhao Yun received the order to lift the siege of Xuzhou. Liu Bei also had a secret thought and had no intention of fighting with Cao's army. As soon as Cao's army retreated, the siege of Xuzhou was lifted. Neither of them was pursuing them seriously. They chased Cao's army for a while and then stopped.
Xiahou Dun took a fancy move, pulled out his horse and jumped out of the battle circle, clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao will be a hero!" After that, he chased the army and left.
Although Zhao Yun could hold Xiahou Dun back, he thought about it and stopped, and pulled his horse back to the dragon cavalry.
(I spent two days to finally change the previous chapter 153, but I saw that there was no change on the page, for some reason?)
