The Puyang City Gate was breached in an instant, and the Xuzhou soldiers poured towards Puyang City like a tide, while Cao Cao and others were forced to retreat to the Urn City.

"Shoot the arrows!"

On the tower of the urn city, the grizzled Cao Cao could finally open his eyes, see the Xuzhou soldiers pouring into the city, and immediately ordered.

With Cao Cao's order, the archers on the walls of the urn city fired arrows at the dense Xuzhou soldiers below.

At the forefront was the trap camp led by Gao Shun, who braved the dense rain of arrows and quickly rushed to the city gate, and then did the same, throwing the package full of fierce fire oil to the gate of the urn city again.

Wei Xu and Cao Xing each led a team of archers scattered on the two wings of Gao Shun, constantly shooting arrows at the city wall.

For a moment, arrows flew around in the air, like a dense rain of arrows.

Gao Shun lit the fire oil with fire again, and the fire burned at the city gate again, and the entire city gate was sealed by the fire and burned with a sneer.

On the wall of the urn city, Xiahou Yuan saw that Gao Shun was showing off his martial arts, so he took his bow and arrows, condescendingly, and put a cold arrow towards Gao Shun.

Cao Xing happened to see such a scene, and immediately opened his bow and arrow, and with a "whoosh", he shot the arrow.

Xiahou Yuan's feather arrow galloped out, and he was about to hit Gao Shun, not wanting an arrow to suddenly shoot out of the middle, and directly collided with his arrow, making a crisp sound of "ding", and both arrows ended without a hitch, and fell to the ground in an instant.

Xiahou Yuan looked in the direction where the arrow was flying, but saw that the person who shot the arrow was Cao Xing, and an arrow had already left the string. Shot at him.

He immediately opened his bow and shot arrows. An arrow is fired. Directly hit Cao Xing's arrows, and the two arrows fell from the air again.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan drew his arrow again and shot it towards Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan sneered, quickly pulled out three arrows from the quiver, put them on the bowstring together, and then pulled the bowstring full and shot towards Cao Xing.

Three arrows flew towards Cao Xing. But the trajectory of the movement was different, and it actually shot at three different key points of Cao Xing.

Cao Xuan was taken aback, this kind of superb archery skills was not comparable to him. However, he is not in vain, he is strong in archery, and he immediately came up with a countermeasure.

He pulled out three arrows from his quiver in a row, and quickly shot them, each of which hit Xiahou Yuan's arrows head-on. The crisis was inadvertently resolved.

At this time, Cao Xuan shot three arrows in a row. The three arrows maintained the same trajectory, like a line, and shot towards Xiahou Yuan again.

After Xiahou Yuan saw it, he sneered: "Carving insect skills, dare to show off in front of me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Yuan pulled out three arrows at a time, held the big bow, pulled the bowstring, and in an instant, shot the three arrows out.

However, Xiahou Yuan took out three more arrows from the quiver and shot at Cao Xuan again, a total of three times before and after, and in a moment, he actually shot nine arrows and flew towards Cao Xuan together.

What is the Gap? That's the gap.

Cao Xuan immediately realized his danger, and he had never encountered it before when he shot nine arrows in a row so quickly, and today was the first time.

No matter how fast he fired, he couldn't get as fast as Xiahou Yuan, so in desperation, he had no choice but to jump and dodge to the side. As soon as he walked on his front foot, the nine arrows on his back foot plunged headlong into the ground where he had just been, and it was really thrilling.

Just when Cao Xing was still apprehensive about the dodge just now, as soon as he looked up, he saw an arrow shooting towards him, the arrow was extremely fast, and when he wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

"Poof!"

The arrow hit Cao Xing's face directly, and the sharp arrow pierced Cao Xing's forehead tightly, and Cao Xing was shot to the ground with one arrow.

Cao Xuan screamed, fell to the ground, convulsions, his eyes were full of fear, and he was dying, and he soon stopped waking up.

It turned out that Xiahou Yuan shot out the nine arrows in a row, just to force Cao Xing away, and when Cao Xuan dodged, Xiahou Yuan had already prepared an arrow, aiming at him at all times, when Cao Xuan dodged over, Xiahou Yuan shot out with an arrow, this arrow poured all his strength, and its purpose was to shoot Cao Xuan with an arrow.

Cao Xuan was shot to death by Xiahou Yuan, but his soldiers did not appear flustered, but the military Sima continued to lead, constantly firing arrows at the city wall.

And Cao Xing's corpse was also trampled by the Xuzhou soldiers who rushed from behind, and even if he passed out, he should have been trampled to death at this time.

The scene of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Xing's archery competition, in this fierce battle, was just a small episode, no one stopped because of Cao Xing's death, but Cao Xing's death stimulated his subordinates, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

The fire burned the city gate, and Gao Shun once again slammed the scorched city gate with a log, and the sound of "boom, boom, boom" kept coming out, and to Cao Jun's ears, it seemed to ring their death knell.

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

High in the air, one after another lumpy objects loaded with lime powder were projected onto the urn city, and in a moment, the urn city was once again covered with gray fog, making it impossible to open people's eyes.

Cao Cao closed his eyes tightly, coughed violently, and seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered to withdraw to the inner city.

The group had just gotten off the tower of the urn city, but they heard a loud "boom", and the gate of the urn city was smashed open.

As soon as the gap in the city gate was opened, the Xuzhou soldiers behind Gao Shun rushed directly like a torrent.

Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately asked Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Xiahou Yuan to lead the crowd to resist here, and arranged street battles. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately sent Cao Xiu with 500 soldiers to escort his family out of Puyang, cross the Yellow River to the north, and go to Hebei.

In addition, he also sent people to inform Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other scribes, and Yu Cao Xiu and others retreated first. He was under the protection of Dian Wei. Command the battle. Engaged in street battles in Xuzhou.

After the gate of the urn city was broken by Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Yu Ban, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, and Chen Ying led their troops to pour into the outer city from the city gate, but Cao Jun did not withdraw, but stayed near the gate of the urn city, relying on the houses in the city to resist, and held the main road into the city.

Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Yu Ban, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Chen Ying and others launched a fierce attack on Cao's army with elite soldiers. Xuzhou soldiers are like huge waves, wave after wave. They all slapped violently on the beach where Cao Jun was stationed.

The attacks of the Xuzhou soldiers were stronger than one wave, and the arrows were shuttling back and forth between the two armies.

The battle was fierce, the two armies launched a white-hot battle in the streets and alleys, the Cao army fought bravely to defend this piece of land, and the Xuzhou soldiers fought bravely in order to capture this land, neither of the two armies let anyone, they were using their flesh and blood to prove their strength.

The order for a general attack was given, but Zhang Yan did not enter the city. When he learned that the city's own army and Cao's army had engaged in fierce street fighting, he sent Xu Chu to lead 300 cavalry into the city to support.

Meantime. He also sent Zhang Liao to lead 300 cavalry to ambush outside the east gate, and asked Tai Shici to lead 300 cavalry to ambush outside the west gate.

In addition, Zhang Yan specially took 3,000 infantry to return to the north gate of Puyang City, and laid an ambush outside the north gate, while the rest of the soldiers all entered the city to fight.

Now, Cao's army is on the verge of extinction, and he wants to take Puyang today and completely eliminate Cao Cao.

After the order was issued, Zhang Yan separated the generals, and he quickly moved to the north gate with 3,000 infantry.

Who knows, as soon as he arrived at the north gate, he saw a group of people waiting for the cavalry led by Cao Xiu, fleeing from the city.

Zhang Yan immediately ordered an attack on this group, regardless of men, women, and children, and beheaded them all.

Cao Xiu saw Zhang Yan leading the crowd to come, left 200 cavalry, personally led them, and went to meet Zhang Yan, and let the others protect Cao Cao's family, the injured Xiahoudun, as well as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others, and some grain, grass and baggage fled north.

Seeing that Cao Xiu was only coming with two hundred cavalry, Zhang Yan didn't take Cao Xiu and the others seriously at all, so he called out spearmen, lined up in front of the team, and used spears to suppress the charge of Cao Xiu and other cavalry, so that the archers could shoot in the back, and the school swordsmen were guarding Zhang Yan's side.

The three thousand people instantly became a whole, and when Cao Xiu saw this, he hurriedly reined in his horses, not daring to provoke Zhang Yan easily, but retreated to the side.

In desperation, Zhang Yan had no choice but to let the military formation move with it, wanting to force Cao Xiu.

How do you know that Cao Xiu was very cunning, and saw that Zhang Yan drove the army formation to move, but he did not approach, but let the cavalry shoot arrows on horseback, constantly harassing Zhang Yan. It's like a rat crawling on top of an elephant, and the elephant keeps twisting its body, trying to let the mouse go down, but the mouse is running around, and it just can't go down.

At this moment, Zhang Yan, who had lost his cavalry, also felt uncomfortable, Cao Xiu kept harassing the military formation, like a dog skin plaster, which could not be removed.

The neat military formation moved towards Cao Xiu and the others together, but Cao Xiu was all cavalry, and they couldn't catch up at all, but once they withdrew from the military formation, Cao Xiu would definitely drive the cavalry to rush over.

The army commanded by Zhang Yan is not the elite of Xuzhou, it was recruited in recent months, and it is not rich in combat experience, but after a short period of training, it is also the first time to go to the battlefield.

In the entanglement between Zhang Yan and Cao Xiu, Cao Cao's family, Xiahoudun, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others had already gone away.

Seeing this, Cao Xiu was not entangled with Zhang Yan, led the cavalry, and quickly fled north.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan asked the soldiers to guard the city gate, and he sent people to inform Zhang Liao and Tai Shici to lead the cavalry here, but let the rest of the soldiers and horses guard outside the east gate and the west gate to prevent Cao's army from escaping.

After Zhang Liao and Tai Shici led the cavalry to the north gate, Zhang Yan sent the two of them to pursue Cao Xiu and others, and make sure that Cao Cao's family was captured.

The two men received the order, immediately left the north gate, and chased along the official road to the north. (To be continued......)
