Ling Cao began to prepare for the siege.

The guards in the city are Cao Xiu and Cao Chun.

The two are ready.

Ling Cao began to attack.

Four gates stormed at the same time.

Tens of thousands of troops attacked together.

Ten thousand arrows are fired.

An arrow is a sharp sword, piercing through everything.

A large number of arrows slanted down, taking away batches of lives.

However, the Cao army is not so vulnerable, they have a large number of shields to defend against, but the division of labor between the various arms is different, and there are always many that need to be exposed to arrows.

As long as Zhang Yu kills the enemy this time, it is already a decisive battle, and the arrows will naturally not be distressed.

As soon as the war started, Ling Cao's tens of thousands of troops pressed up together in a more intense way.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Ling Cao launched several waves of strong attacks in a row, all of which were defeated.

However, this did not affect the morale of Zhang Yu's side, and the soldiers were still highly motivated and competing for meritorious service.

The army continued to attack wave after wave, and in the evening, Ling Cao still did not stop attacking, replaced a group of troops, and continued to attack.

Similarly, the defenders of the city fought back fiercely.

The two sides fought there.

Zhang Yu had been watching this battle all day.

"One will make it work, and ten thousand bones will wither."

Zhang Yu sighed that in order to achieve his hegemony, I don't know how many people will die.

But Zhang Yu can be ruthless, after all, he can lead the whole nation to take off.

There is a big battle here, and the army is constantly coming.

After resting for a night, I received the news that Cao Cao would arrive in three days with a large army.

Zhang Yu immediately led the army to the distance, preparing to block Cao Cao.

Zhang Yu took an army of 80,000 people, and then walked for a day and set up a camp in a place near the mountains.

This camp just overlooks the road below, which is the road that Cao Cao and them must pass.

If you want to take other roads, you will have to take a long detour, which will take a few more days.

The front line is in full swing, and the impact is very huge if it is a few days apart, and the most important thing is that grain and grass are not easy to transport.

Therefore, this is Cao Cao's road after all, and the army can make a detour, but once the grain and grass are detoured, it will be very dangerous to have so many extra days.

Zhang Yu had just built the camp, and it was Cao Cao who arrived with a large army to clean up the surrounding combustibles.

Cao Cao brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he gathered all the soldiers and horses around him, integrated them into a road, and commanded them himself.

"My lord, Zhang Yu has built a camp by the mountain, blocking our way, so we can only forcibly attack the past." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao was helpless, and then ordered: "Who is going to open the road ahead for me." ”

Xu Chu immediately came out and said: "Lord, give your subordinates 30,000 soldiers and horses, and your subordinates will clear the obstacles for the lord." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, what he needed most at this time was someone to take the lead and then boost morale.

Xu Chu led 30,000 men to attack.

Zhang Yu personally came out to meet the battle, and after two hours of fighting, Xu Chu was defeated and lost.

Zhang Yu did not pursue and continued to strengthen the camp.

Xu Chu came back, knelt on the ground and said: "Lord, my subordinates failed to complete the task, and they lost 10,000 soldiers and horses, please surrender to the lord." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Ai Jiang and didn't blame, he saw it very clearly, this Xu Chu had tried his best and fought very resolutely, but Zhang Yu They had the advantage of geographical advantage, and the arrows from top to bottom were hugely powerful.

The first battle was lost, and Cao Cao retreated and camped, and then went back to study countermeasures.

"My lord, we can send a light army, take a detour up, and attack from above." Jia Xu suggested.

"Okay, immediately order someone to take 3,000 people and go up the mountain overnight." Cao Cao listened and agreed.

In the middle of the night, Cao Jun touched the mountain.

When it was almost dawn, they suddenly killed from above, and at the same time, Xu Chu sent people to attack again.

"This Cao Jun can really toss." was suddenly attacked, and listening to the cry, there were not many soldiers and horses on the other side, Zhang Yu did not panic, and sent 20,000 people to kill him.

And Zhang Yu once again personally led the army to meet Xu Chu.

Zhang Yu fought with Xu Chu for more than 200 rounds, and Zhang Yu's combat power at this time was not lost to Xu Chu, and he could even press him to fight.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yu wiped out the enemy troops on the mountain, and then Zhang Yu sent 5,000 men to garrison the mountain.

The army above was wiped out, and Cao Cao saw that he had no chance, so he could only order a retreat.

Both sides lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yu sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed on the top of the mountain, and it was difficult to come up from other directions.

The two sides were deadlocked, and Cao Cao was very irritable in the barracks.

Failed to pass quickly, which made Cao Cao uneasy, the battle report in front of him could continue to come, and the scouts on this road were still open.

Ling Cao has been attacking fiercely, day and night, the army has taken turns, and Cao Chun and they have fought very hard.

"The decisive battle is a decisive battle, but Zhang Yu obviously wants to fight quickly." Cao Cao said to his subordinates.

At the beginning, he fought a decisive battle with Yuan Shao and fought for two years, but Zhang Yu stormed the city as soon as he came up, and he was not polite at all.

In fact, he can find an opportunity after besieging the city, and slowly consume it, and the loss of troops will naturally be much smaller.

But Zhang Yu didn't, and it was the most fierce attack.

"My lord, this battle was launched too suddenly, usually hundreds of thousands of troops fight, it is impossible to do it without preparation for a few months, but Zhang Yu can organize such a large-scale operation in less than a month, we can only fight with him here, and then shrink our forces and look for opportunities." Xun You said.

Cao Cao was silent, this matter was already a matter of survival.

The stalemate continued.

Zhang Yu was in the camp, and at this time they were repeatedly reinforcing to block the Cao army.

Zhang Yu blocked Cao Cao's reinforcements here, so that he could not pass.

On Ling Cao's side, round after round of attacks, the city cracked in several places.

It's just that Cao Jun has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses after all.

In the first few days of the battle, the two sides lost more than 30,000 people each.

The situation was not good, and Cao Chun and Cao Xiu discussed countermeasures together.

"The lord was stopped, and there was no way to attack from both sides, and there were more and more enemy troops." Cao Chun said.

"yes." Cao Xiu sighed, and then said: "There is no good way now, only to fight to the death, we try to delay as much as possible to buy time for the lord." ”

The two sides are still fighting.

At this time, Cao Cao felt pressure, and the reinforcements that arrived were firmly blocked by Zhang Yu, and Cao Chun's side had lost more than 80,000 people, and the city was broken through several times in the past two days.

Cao Cao was irritable and thought hard to no avail, so he found Cheng Yu, Xun You and Jia Xu alone.

"Such a situation is very unfavorable to us, if Wen sends a letter, our logistics are already overwhelmed, and it is difficult to sustain the war between the east and the west." Cao Cao's family has always been poor, and now there are problems everywhere.

There is nothing good for a few people, and the situation at this time is a bit deadlocked.

After thinking for a long time, Jia Xu said: "Lord, the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the capital of Lu State have been unable to withdraw, and we have to mobilize more soldiers and horses to add in, it can be said that all places have been affected by the war, and only by ending the war as soon as possible can we solve the current problem." ”

"But what can I do?"

After brushing his beard for a while, Jia Xu said with a twinkle in his eyes: "We will all die together." ”

"What!" Cheng Yu and Xun You both shouted.
