Chapter 438: Kicking on both legs

The Cao army entered the city, and the Xuzhou soldiers couldn't stop it at all, and the city of Xiangben became a pot of porridge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Deng Yuanjue's previous attack on the camp was defeated by Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren, and he had already lost his strength in the middle of the night, and he was hesitating whether to reflexively continue to fight for Xiangben City with Cao's army, or it was better to withdraw.

At this time, Wu Yong and Deng Fei led part of the Xuzhou soldiers to rush to fight Deng Yuanjue, and Wu Yong took the lead in making a decision: "This time we were negligent, Cao Cao's army has rushed into the city, we can't stop it, and quickly withdraw to Tancheng to defend." Walk! ”

Deng Fei, who was red on the side, saw Deng Yuanjue hesitate, and immediately said anxiously: "Big brother, let's go!" ”

Deng Yuanjue turned around and glanced at Cao Jun, who had begun to wreak havoc on Xiangben City, and secretly hated in his heart: "Go!" ”

Immediately opened the way in front of Deng Yuanjue's head, the fierce-eyed Deng Fei waved the iron chain in his hand, and Zhiduoxing Wu Yong used a copper chain in his hand, both of them used the same weapon, and rushed from the west gate to the east gate with the Xuzhou soldiers and Deng Yuanjue's remnants in the city.

Then it was to withdraw to Tancheng, and after Cao's army settled Xiangbencheng, Cao Cao led his generals to lead the army to kill Tancheng.

Two days later, Cao Cao led the army to set up a formation under the west gate of Tancheng, but did not surround Tancheng on all sides, as if as long as Tancheng was broken, it didn't matter if the potters escaped or not.

In the middle of the city wall is the pottery merchant, and there are Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Deng Fei, Deng Yuanjue, and Cao Bao on the left and right.

The potter's face was unhappy, and Deng Yuanjue's army retreated back after defeat two days ago, so he had to stick to Tancheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the army of Cao thieves has arrived, look at it, is there a way?" The potter said helplessly.

Song Jiang comforted: "The lord doesn't have to worry, Mi Zhu has already sent an envoy back, and Yuan Shu has already sent the general Ji Ling to lead the troops to reinforce him." It will be able to kill it soon, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, and no piece of armor will be left behind to kill Cao Jun. ”

said so, but Ji Ling's army has not yet appeared, who knows if it can wait until that time.

Wu Yong proposed: "Well, Liu Bei is still in Xiaopei, why don't you go and ask Liu Bei to come to the rescue, the first prince just wanted Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao." ”

In this regard, Deng Yuanjue and Deng Fei hoped that Liu Bei could come to help, but Cao Bao was reluctant.

When he first met Liu Bei's three brothers, he Cao Bao was very enthusiastic. But that Zhang Fei was very disdainful of him, and called him a straw bag, and now Cao Bao still holds a grudge.

"Lord, no, then the three brothers of Liu Bei are very good, if they come to Tancheng, Xuzhou Mu doesn't know who will be it."

The potter said impatiently: "Needless to say, let's defend the city well!" ”

Cao Cao rode a black war horse to the city, trying to persuade the pottery merchant: "Pottery merchant, your father is not my opponent, let alone you." Quickly open the city gate and lead the Xuzhou army and people to surrender to me, I won't kill you, and I also want the court to recommend you and let you go to the court to be a big official. ”

Seeing the potter's hesitation, Song Jiang hurriedly wanted to dispel the potter's idea of surrendering: "The lord can't listen to Cao Cao's words, Cao Cao has a grudge against us in Xuzhou to kill our father, and if we surrender, we will be harmed!" ”

"What a horse!" Deng Yuanjue on the side cheered for Cao Cao's mount under the city.

Cao Cao's mount was not an ordinary war horse, but a BMW, running extremely fast, as if a black shadow flashed, and was named "Jueying" by Cao Cao.

Song Jiang's voice was small, and Cao Cao didn't hear it, but Deng Yuanjue's voice was loud, and Cao Cao heard the voice of praising the BMW.

"Hehe~" Cao Cao was happy, and said a little discordantly: "The general in the city has a good eye, if you are willing to capture the pottery merchant and surrender to me, this divine horse will be sent to the general." ”

In front of himself, he won over his subordinates like this, and the potter was furious: "Shoot him to death with arrows!" ”

Whoosh~

There were many archers standing at the head of the city, and under the orders of the potters, they shot down at Cao Cao.

"Humph!"

Click~click~

Cao Cao's two super bodyguards Dian Wei and Xu Zhu guarded him, and the distance was not too close, so the arrows coming towards Cao Mengde were blocked by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Cao Cao, who was unscathed, said expressionlessly: "Siege!" ”

"Kill!"

"The lord has an order, siege the city!"

"Kill me!"

Generals Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong led their troops to attack the city.

Siege weapons such as car stops, ladders, and crashes were all pushed out by Cao Jun, shouting to attack Tancheng.

"Deng Yuanjue and Cao Bao, this defense will be handed over to the two of you." Facing the attack of Cao's archers, the potter hurriedly left the city with Wu Yong and Song Jiang and hid.

They don't want to be hurt by stray arrows, otherwise they will suffer a great loss.

"Shoot the arrows, on that side, quickly throw the rocks and rolling wood!"

"You, pour the boiling water down!"

Deng Yuanjue, Cao Bao, Deng Fei and others commanded the defenders to defend.

The battle was very tragic, and the Cao army besieging the city kept people falling from the flying ladder, or being killed by the arrows shot down from the city, or being smashed by rolling wood and stones, and their brains were bursting and their flesh and blood were blurred.

Some climbed up by ladders, but were picked up by the defenders of the city. However, the defenders in the city were also not happy, and in the face of the dense Cao army surging like grasshoppers, they could only grit their teeth and counterattack. Although it has a city wall to rely on, it will also be shot over by the archers of the Cao army under the city.

The siege was in the tug-of-war stage, and the potters went down the city tower with Wu Yong and Song Jiang, preparing to return to the state pastor's mansion.

Escorted by two hundred guards, the three potters passed through the street, where a man was hidden on the roof of a house beside the street.

On the way, Wu Yong calculated when his lord Luo Gan's army would come, and on the other hand, he was calculating how to hold Tancheng before Luo Gan's army arrived.

"Not good, dangerous! Be careful! "Wu is worth 70 with force, although it is not very powerful, but he also feels the crisis, as if he is being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Ah~I'm unwilling~"

The potter let out a scream, looking at an arrow stuck in his chest, his eyes round in disbelief and strong reluctance. It's just that the arrow has already penetrated his heart, and without saying a complete last word, he glared at his legs and went to see the king of Hades.

That Song Jiang was startled, his face turned pale, and he hid aside and shouted: "There are assassins, quickly arrest the assassins and protect the lord!" ”

"Ah, catch the assassin!"

"The assassin is running away!"

The guards hurried to capture the Assassin, but the potter was dead.

Song Jiang came back to his senses at this time, and immediately rushed forward, grabbed the potter's hand and said sadly: "Lord, lord, wake up, you must not have anything to do." Come on, go and get a doctor. ”

Wu Yong was also so frightened that he was bloodless, the potter was already a state pastor, and he died at the critical moment when the Cao army attacked the city.

Who killed it?

Cao Cao? Liu Bei? Tao Ying? Yuan Shu?

Could it be Luo Gan? This is unlikely, he is still in Xuzhou, and he has not received any instructions.

Other families in Xuzhou?

Now it's not about who killed the potter, but about what to do?

Wu Yongyi pushed Song Jiang and pretended to be sad and said: "The lord is dead, who can be the lord of Xuzhou?" ”

Song Jiang wiped his tears and said: "Alas, now that the lord is dead, Xuzhou can only be handed over to Cao Cao, so it is better to surrender Kaicheng." ”

Wu Yong knew that Luo Gan had always regarded Cao Cao as his great enemy, where could Cao Cao take Xuzhou so easily.

"No, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he killed many innocent people, how could he hand over Xuzhou to him. Why don't you invite Liu Bei to be the pastor of Xuzhou? ”

Song Jiang can think about it, his current goal is just to be able to climb up and get ahead. Although he also thought about being a pastor in Xuzhou, Song Jiang knew his own strength, and there was no possibility at all, and it was okay to assist Liu Bei.

"Okay, it's just that Liu Bei is not in Xuzhou?"

Wu said confidently: "Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, how could Liu Bei not move, I think Liu Bei's army should almost arrive." ”

The two of them made a good plan, pretending that the potter was only seriously injured and did not die, and transported him back to the governor's mansion, and at the same time ordered the news to be blocked so as not to shake the morale of the army.
