On the head of Shouchun City, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up together.

On the edge of the battlements, the inky battle flags of the Qin army were still hunting and flying in the wind passing from the city.

Feng'er talked about the corners of the battle flags, and the battle flags were rolled up with a hula and a chaotic sound, and the battle flags seemed to tell people about the fierceness of the battle.

The city gate has been breached, and the street fighting in the city is still continuing, but the Qin army in the city has fallen into a situation of being completely annihilated, and is only in a few alleys, making the last resistance.

Countless Cao soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder like ants, and rushed towards the small piece of city wall above the city gate.

Covered in blood, his clothes and armor were already in tatters, and the faces of the generals of the Qin army were full of exhaustion.

The long sword in his hand had already been cut into the mouth, and he didn't know how many Cao Jun had been killed, only that whenever Cao Jun rushed at him, he swung his long sword and slashed Cao Jun to the ground.

Behind the partial general, there were only a dozen or so Qin soldiers left who could still fight.

These more than ten soldiers of the Qin army, each of them had different wounds on their bodies, and even some of their wounds were still gurgling with blood.

They didn't care about their wounds, and they were carrying their blades, staring at Cao Jun who was approaching them with dead eyes.

The battle has come to an end, and Shouchun City has also been broken by Cao's army.

The Qin army defending the city, except for the death in battle, the rest of the people are making the last stubborn resistance.

The shouts of killing in the city became more and more sparse, and it was obvious that the Cao army had cleared the Qin army in the city.

On the wall of Shouchun, more than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army stood behind the general of the Qin army, holding the blades in their hands tightly, waiting for the Cao army to launch a final attack on them.

"Soldiers of the Qin Army!" Just as they were quietly waiting for death to come, intending to end the battle guarding Shouchun with their blood, an officer of the Cao army came out of the crowd and shouted to them: "General Xiahou admires your loyalty and righteousness, and intends to wait for you to have a way to live!" ”

Means of subsistence?

When the officer of the Cao Army said these two words, all the Qin troops, including the partial general, twitched violently.

No one is willing to accept death, and if they can live, who does not want to live.

But the general and the more than a dozen Qin soldiers present did not speak, they knew very well that in this situation, wanting to survive was undoubtedly a luxury for them.

The way Cao Jun gave him to live must be with harsh conditions.

Maybe that condition is unacceptable to each of them!

"As long as you wait to surrender to our army and tell the people of the world, you wait to serve Cao Gong, and General Xiahou will let you wait to live!" Sure enough, as soon as the officer of the Cao army spoke, all the Qin troops present heard a condition that they could not accept at all.

"Brothers!" As soon as the Cao Army's words fell, the Qin Army general pursed his lips and did not pay attention to the Cao Army officer, but asked the more than ten Qin Army soldiers behind him: "Xiahoudun wants us to surrender, you say, surrender or not?" ”

"Die or die!" After the question of the partial generals of more than a dozen Qin troops fell, they all raised their soldiers and let out a shout.

Their numbers are too small, and the shouts are not the same as the shouts of the troops.

But even so, their shouts still made Cao Jun, who was approaching, feel a chill in his heart.

The Qin army has been defeated, Shouchun has been broken, and there are only a few poor people left in the city who are still resisting.

No matter what kind of army it is, in this situation, the soldiers will just beg to be able to live.

The conditions given by Xiahoudun were not ungenerous, even if Liu Wei learned of this situation, he would definitely not blame the partial general and the remaining dozen or so Qin army soldiers for surrendering to the Cao army.

However, the remaining Qin soldiers did not choose to surrender, and from their resolute eyes, no matter who they were, they could see that they were ready to die.

"Good! Good brothers! The response of more than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army made the general already burst into tears, he nodded heavily, raised his voice, and shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army behind him: "With you brothers by your side, Lao Tzu's life is worth it!" In the next life, I will be a soldier with you and others! Brothers, kill! ”

As soon as the shouting fell, the general of the Qin army was already carrying the long sword that had been rolled up, and rushed towards the Cao army.

"Kill!" The partial general rushed out, and the more than ten Qin troops behind also let out a shout in unison, rushing towards the Cao army in front of him, who had no end in sight.

The battle flags of the Qin army on the battlements were still rolling in hulala, and more than a dozen Qin troops who rushed towards the Cao army were soon drowned in the torrent of the Cao army.

The battle is finally over.

But none of the Cao soldiers in the city felt the joy of victory in their hearts.

The resistance of the Qin army was too stubborn, and the 1,000 defenders were all killed in battle.

No one fled, no one surrendered, and not even a single Qin army willing to survive, they did not find it.

The city was littered with corpses, and the tenacity of the Qin army's resistance cost the Cao army heavily.

In an alley, a soldier of the Qin army, whose arm had been cut off during the battle, was covered in blood and sat with his face leaning back against the wall of a house.

His eyes stared at the clear blue sky without blinking, and in his heart, a long sword with a curled mouth was inserted.

Many of the soldiers of the Qin army had died, but the group of Cao soldiers standing in front of him still did not dare to come forward to collect the corpses for him.

Cao Jun clearly remembered that when the Qin army was still alive, there were more than a dozen of them, and they died at the hands of the Qin army, who only had one arm.

If it weren't for the fact that the injuries were too serious, if it wasn't for the excessive bleeding, the soldiers of the Qin army who were sitting on the wall would not have inserted their long swords into their hearts.

A battle that would rather die than surrender has a deep feeling in all the officers and soldiers of the Cao army.

They felt that fighting the Qin army would be the nightmare they didn't want to remember in their lives!

The city of Shouchun was broken, and Zhang Liao, who led the army out of Xia Cai, still thought that he could arrive at Shouchun in time, assist the defenders, and defend the city to the death.

Jia Xu reminded him that he had to pay attention to Cao Jun's ambush halfway through.

The leader of the army walked on the only way to Shouchun, Zhang Liao did not urge the army to speed up, but kept an eye on the mountains on both sides at all times, beware of Cao Jun suddenly killing from the side.

Following Zhang Liao's army, all the soldiers knew what kind of enemy they were going to face, and they all knew that once the war began, many or even all of them would never have a chance to return to Luoyang!

Every soldier of the Qin army was vigilantly watching the surrounding environment, beware of a sudden Cao army coming out from the side.

The speed of the march was not very fast, and due to Zhang Liao's caution, they were even slower than the normal march.

The army advanced all the way towards Shouchun, but was not ambushed by Cao's army.

The leader was about to arrive at Shouchun, and when he saw the Shouchun city wall from afar, Zhang Liao was stunned to find that the battle flag of the Qin army was not planted on the Shouchun city wall, but the battle flag of the Cao army.

Shouchun is already broken, and they are too late.

Holding the reins, Zhang Liao wrinkled his brows and looked at Shouchun City, and the soldiers of the Qin army behind him also stopped one after another, looking towards the city where they were supposed to go to help.

Just as Zhang Liao stopped the army and looked at Shouchun City in the distance, a fast horse rushed up from behind him.

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came into Zhang Liao's ears, and he turned his head to look back, and saw a Qin soldier riding a healthy horse, rushing towards him.

"General Zhang!" The soldiers of the Qin army who rode their horses rushed to a place more than ten steps away from Zhang Liao, grabbed the reins, and did not wait for the war horse to stop, so they turned over and jumped off the horse, and ran towards Zhang Liao quickly. ”

Hearing from the soldier's mouth that Jia Xu asked him not to directly lead the army back to Xia Cai, Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the soldier: "What does Zhonglang have to say?" ”

"Zhonglang said, if the general goes all the way, it's not that the Cao army didn't intercept it halfway, it's just that the Cao army is waiting for the general, and after the defeat outside Shouchun City, he will intercept it in the middle of the road!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists, the soldiers of the Qin army who reported the news said to Zhang Liao: "The general returns directly to Xia Cai, that is, he will fall into the Cao army on both sides, and when the defeated army returns to the city, the Cao army can also divide some soldiers and horses, pretending to be a defeated army and blending into the city, so that Xia Cai is difficult to protect!" ”

didn't expect that the battle situation had entered such a complicated situation, Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, looked at the soldiers who reported the news, and his brows were tightly locked.

The reporter obviously didn't finish his words, and when he saw Zhang Liao frowning, he continued: "Zhonglang asked the general to rush straight to Shouchun, detour from the east of Shouchun, and make a move to Xuzhou!" The main force of the Cao army has come to Shouchun, Xuzhou is empty, if the general rushes to Xuzhou, the Cao army must be panicked, Xiahoudun will also resolutely lead the troops to pursue, the general should be able to defeat the pursuers in the middle of the road, and then return to Shouchun, Shouchun will be captured! ”

After listening to the last words of the soldiers, Zhang Liao's heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army behind him: "The army turns, all the way to the east!" ”

After Zhang Liao's order, the army turned around, followed Zhang Liao, and marched eastward.

The leader turned to the east, Zhang Liao turned his head to look in the direction of Shouchun City, his eyes narrowed slightly, and from his slightly narrowed eyes, a decisive killing flashed in an instant.

On the city wall of Shouchun, Xiahoudun, who had just commanded the army to take the city and occupied the city, stood on the head of the city.

He held the battlements with both hands and looked at the Qin army outside the city that had turned around.

In the mountains between Xia Cai and Shouchun, the Cao army had already prepared an ambush, just as Jia Xu expected, waiting for the defeat of the Qin army to retreat, and then suddenly kill, taking advantage of the situation to also take Xia Cai.

Completely contrary to Xiahoudun's expectations, the Qin army led by Zhang Liao saw that Shouchun had been breached, and did not turn around and turn back, but advanced towards the east.

What does Qin Jun want to do?

Xiahoudun's heart was full of doubts.
