Chapter 420: Shooting and Wounding Xia Houdun

After Xia Houdun left, Cao Cao said: "Alas, I want to rest for a while and I am interrupted, how is the construction of the siege equipment?"

Xu You, who was in charge of building the equipment, said: "Lord, at present, there are more than 100 pairs of ladders, and there are several rushing cars, if you want to extinguish Huang Zhong's arrogance, it is also feasible. ”

Seeing that Xu You guessed his intentions, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, who is willing to go with Ben Hou to meet Huang Zhong?"

Hearing that he was going to attack the city, Cao Cao's generals asked for battle.

Cao Cao glanced at it and said by name: "Cao Ren led his troops to attack the South Gate, Cao Hong led his troops to attack the North Gate, Le Jin led his troops to attack the East Gate, and the rest of the people followed Ben Hou to attack the West Gate." ”

"Remember, the momentum must be fierce, but there must be no excessive losses."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

Since Huang Zhong was in a hurry to probe and probe it, Cao Cao did not delay, and ordered all troops and horses to prepare to attack the city, show their strength, and make Huang Zhong frightened.

On the other hand, outside Cao's Dazhai, Huang Xu has fought with Xiahoudun for 20 rounds, and on the surface, it seems that the two of them are not up and down, fighting back and forth, and the sergeants of the two sides burst into applause.

But Huang Xu knew in his heart that if he continued to fight, he would be defeated in less than fifty rounds.

However, in the frontal battle, Huang Xu could only deceive, slash a knife, pull out his horse and run back to the main formation.

Seeing that Huang Xu was going to escape, Xiahoudun was willing to give up, but he promised in front of Cao Cao that he would cut off the head of the enemy general, and immediately slapped his horse to catch up.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Huang Xu showed a strange smile on his face, his ears were erected to quickly distinguish the direction, and his hands took the bow and arrows without stopping.

"Bang!" As the sound got closer and closer, Huang Xu turned around violently and shot the arrow from his bow.

Xiahoudun only cared about chasing and killing, he didn't think that Huang Xu was defeated, and when he saw the bow and arrow shooting, he could only wave his gun in a panic to resist.

But at such a close distance, the one who could react came over, and the bow and arrow grazed the spear that had just been swung, and it was originally headed for the door of the head, and it was rubbed by this one, and it was biased to the left eye.

"Poof!"

"Ahh The bow and arrow entered his left eye, and Xiahoudun immediately screamed and fell off his horse.

Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, Huang Xu's face was overjoyed, and he immediately patted his horse and wanted to step forward to take down Xiahoudun's head.

Seeing that Xiahoudun's life was not guaranteed, suddenly Cao Jun rushed out and Pegasus met him.

But Xiahoudun chased too far, it would be too late to rescue, and the situation was in danger, so he suddenly pulled out his sword and threw it at Huang Xu, who was galloping on his horse.

"Whew!"

Seeing that Xiahoudun was in front of him, Huang Xu was already excited in his heart, and suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air, and hurriedly waved his knife to open the object.

"Bang dang!"

Huang Xugang waved away the flying thing, only to hear a loud shout.

"Huang Zhong's command is full of juniors who hurt people with hidden arrows, and they have the ability to fight with this general!"

Although Huang Zhong was extremely strict with Huang Xu on the battlefield, Huang Xu still respected Huang Zhong very much in his heart.

If it weren't for Huang Zhong traveling thousands of miles to seek medical treatment, I am afraid that he would be a pile of loess now.

Hearing that Laijiang was insulted, Huang Xu's eyes were red on the spot, and he slapped his horse and ran straight to Laijiang. "Cao will die!"

Seeing that Huang Xu was angered, the heart of the general was relaxed, if Xiahou died here, then Cao Cao would definitely blame him.

"Boom!"

The two knives intersected, quickly separated, and then a wrong horse intersected.

"Boom!"

After a round of temptation, seeing that he was about to block his angry two knives, Huang Xu's brain occupied by anger was clearer.

It seems that this Cao Jiang has some ability, I'm afraid I can't take him, Huang Xu pointed with a knife and said, "Cao Jiang can be named?"

Hearing the shouting, Laijiang held back the slightly trembling hand and shouted: "Under the ban, if you have the ability, you will come to fight, what are you grinding?"

"It's forbidden, no wonder." Regarding the forbidden daimyo, Huang Xu also understands. "Yu Ban, the master and Xia Hou Pifu have fought fiercely, and they have spent most of their strength, so I will let you go today."

Huang Xu's voice fell, pulled his horse and galloped back to his own position, leading the army back to the city.

Seeing Huang Xu retreating, Yu Ban did not pursue, he knew that he couldn't keep him at all, and he tried his best to save Xia Houdun, who was unknown in life and death.

When the news of Xia Houdun's injury reached Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao did not change his plan, but everything went on as usual.

In the city tower of Chixian County, Huang Xu returned to the city and hurriedly returned to Huang Zhong.

Although Xia Houdun was not killed in the first battle, it was also a great achievement to make him seriously injured, Huang Zhong simply praised a few words, and then looked at the outside of the city with a solemn face.

From the results of the battle between Huang and Xu, it is not difficult to guess that this time it must be a bitter battle.

Seeing that it would be dark in a few hours, Huang Zhong knew that Cao's army would not attack the city, and strictly ordered all his troops to guard the city, so he wanted to leave.

But before he could go down the tower, he learned that Cao's army had poured out of the nest and was preparing to besiege the city, so he hurriedly ran back.

Returning to the city tower, he carefully observed for a while, and saw that Cao Jun was not making a false formation, Huang Zhong immediately ordered all his troops to go back to the city gate to guard.

According to common sense, just after the battle, Cao Jun's spirit has been lost, why are they in such a hurry to attack the city, do they want to take the city in one go.

Huang Zhong couldn't guess his intention for a while, so he could only wait for the battle situation to change.

The city was besieged by four gates, and Cao Cao did not immediately attack the city, but decided to destroy the morale of the defenders in the city with righteousness first.

After some inquiry, he learned that Huang Zhong was stationed at the east gate, and Cao Cao went there in person.

A hundred meters away from the East Gate, Cao Cao shouted: "I have heard for a long time that Han Sheng is strong in martial arts, and he has the Han family in his heart, why do you want to help thieves for evil." ”

"At this time, if you offer the city, this candidate will show your majesty, seal you as a candidate, and promote the official to the third level, wouldn't it be beautiful!"

Huang Zhong was expressionless, and shouted: "Liaodong Hou is sealed by the first emperor, and he has been stationed in the north to make foreign races submit, and end the state of the people being oppressed for many years. ”

The first emperor was indeed more appealing than Liu Xie, and although the Han family was chaotic at that time, the power was still concentrated in the hands of the emperor.

At present, Liu Xie is just a puppet, and his throne is also sealed by Dong Zhuo, which can be said to be incorrect.

Hearing this, Cao Cao shouted: "The Han family is weak, we should support it and listen to the holy will, instead of being proud of the merits and dividing one side." ”

"I don't dare to have much credit for him, as long as he doesn't listen to His Majesty's call, he is a chaotic minister and thief, not to mention leading troops to attack the state pastor appointed by His Majesty, Li Huiyi's wolf ambition is already known to everyone in the world."

"Hahaha!" Huang Zhong shouted: "Huang doesn't know what righteousness is, he only knows that the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, which is the duty of an official." ”

Cao Cao talked about the orthodoxy of the emperor, but Huang Zhong talked about the people's livelihood and well-being, both of them avoided talking about their shortcomings, and if they continued, it would not be of much use.

Cao Cao angrily pulled his horse and left, and ordered the whole army to attack the city.

As soon as the order came out, the Cao army, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed to the city in a swarm, and the formation could be described as monstrous.

But the Simen City Tower, which had already received an order, raised the city defense equipment without panic in the face of such a formation, and stopped the Cao army who had ascended the city.

The offensive came one after another, as if announcing the determination of Cao's army to break the city.

You attack and defend, the two sides fought fiercely for several hours, and the sky also darkened, and the Cao army left thousands of corpses and slowly retreated.

In the face of the attack of such a strong force, the defending Li army was inevitably afraid, afraid that the city would be lost.
