Puyang City, Cao Cao's ears were filled with the sound of the huge horn.
Listening to the deafening shouts of killing, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with rage and rage.
He pressed hard on the wound on the side of his face that had been bandaged with gauze, and watched as the siege troops in front of him let out deafening shouts and rushed forward regardless of their own safety.
In fact, Cao Cao's military camp has indeed begun to run out of food.
But it was not necessary to withdraw.
After the battle with Hu Zihe and the defeat of Lu Bu's main force, Cao Cao made a small plan to regroup the entire army and sent his troops back to attack Puyang City.
As Cao Cao had expected, the main force of Lu Bu's army had been crippled by him, and it only took one go to capture Puyang City.
At the same time, in order to show his sincerity to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao decided to cooperate with Yuan Shao's 30,000 army to attack Puyang City.
But At this moment, they had been attacking for a whole morning, but the morale of the defenders in Puyang City was still undiminished, and there was no sign of disintegration or panic.
Such a scene naturally made Cao Cao, who was already betting red, feel very upset.
Relying on the proficient skills and battlefield intuition honed over many years on the battlefield, the four thousand Cao soldiers went up first to show off their abilities.
They withstood the attack of arrows as dense as locusts and arrived at the city gate almost unscathed.
They took up their positions well.
At this point in the war, Cao Cao no longer sent those cannon fodder soldiers to test and die, but instead used the elite soldiers in the army: the few Qingzhou soldiers who were well-trained by Cao Cao himself.
Sure enough, these Qingzhou soldiers did not disappoint Cao Cao.
They took advantage of the opportunity when the soldiers on the city were unable to emerge and shoot arrows vertically.
They raised their shields high, quickly and methodically erected numerous ladders, and began to climb up; there were two or three others.
Ten people pushed a crude cart made of large wooden piles and were protected by several layers of thick cowhide to the city gate.
The huge impact sound overwhelmed the horns and military drums.
Suddenly, the defenders on the city panicked, and many people seemed to have fallen to the ground.
"The city is about to fall."
Amidst the laughter and cheers of the people around him, Cao Cao finally relaxed the muscles on his face with relief and murmured.
Cao Cao has led the army in battles for many years.
With his talent and understanding, he has already mastered the idea of ruling.
And his ability to accurately judge the enemy's situation was even more proficient: in just a short moment, he had already seen that the defenders who appeared in Puyang this time seemed to have never had any experience in fighting in a city.
In this case, the defenders should immediately put down the rolling logs and falling rocks, and at the same time use the rod to hold the ladder down.
After a slight hesitation, the attackers could climb onto the city wall, and then the situation would be over.
More than a dozen Qingzhou warriors who were good at fighting had already moved quickly.
Gone to the ground We can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The city wall is an important defensive fortification of the city, and it is also the psychological barrier that the defenders rely on to resist the enemy.
Now that they had just suffered one blow and were suddenly broken through, this was a huge blow to the fighting spirit of the defenders, and troops with lower quality would most likely collapse.
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
Many people showed expressions of relief: many generals with sharp eyes like Cao Cao had already seen that on the dilapidated Puyang City, there were no longer soldiers in armor.
Soldiers, but farmers covered in linen, and even scholars and wealthy merchants wearing silk Such a situation couldn't help but make Cao Cao's eyes flash with a stern look: Those people in Puyang must have heard about the massacre in Xuzhou and were afraid that he would start killing again in Puyang.
From this, Lu Bu fell under Lu Bu's spell and fought to the death to defend the city.
However, this is fine.
When I conquer Puyang, I must let them get what they want.
They know the consequences of betraying the Cao family.
However, Xun Yu, a benevolent gentleman, will definitely come to dissuade him.
The Cao family is indeed suffering from internal and external troubles now, so it is not appropriate.
Start killing again Just when Cao Cao was daydreaming about the fate of the people of Puyang, Xiahou Dun beside him suddenly pointed at the Puyang city wall: "Master Sikong, look at it!"
At the same time, the soldiers around him also let out a burst of exclamations.
Cao Cao didn't have time to think too much, so he raised his head and looked around.
I saw two Qingzhou dead soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall, dragging their bloody tails, falling from the top of the city while howling and dancing.
Then came the third and fourth.

Within a few seconds, the Qingzhou soldiers who had just gone up turned into corpses and were thrown off the city wall.
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly showed unbelievable anger.
He really didn't expect that when the city wall was about to be breached and the first attack was successful, a shocking reversal could happen on the city wall.
"Mengde, it's Lu Bu" Xiahou Dun pointed to the city head again, saying with surprise in his eyes.
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were just as Lu Bu had locked him up with Huzi He that day, staring at the stalwart figure on the city wall: It could be seen that Lu Bu's skills had indeed deteriorated a lot after the battle at Huzi River.
However, his appearance gave all the Puyang defenders a shot in the arm that cannot be ignored.
"This is impossible.
During the battle at the Huzi River, Lu Bu was first injured internally, and then he was hit by three arrows and countless swords and spears.
At this time, he should have been bedridden.
How could he still appear on the city wall?"
Cao Cao waved his whip.
He shouted angrily.
At this time, he already hated this lone wolf in troubled times to the bottom of his heart.
Of course, he was also afraid to the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Lu Bu who cut off the Qingzhou soldier's head with another halberd at this time, Xiahou Dun saw the Qingzhou soldier's head flying into the air amid the blood spatter, and the headless body was kicked backwards, knocking the ladder to the ground.
The few soldiers who followed him were taken down.
After thinking for a while, Xiahou Dun calmly said: "Sir Sikong, Lu Bu has died soon.
At this time, he should be burning his life fighting, and he is still more than capable.
Have you ever seen Lu Bu kill someone?
You still need to cut off the soldiers’ heads and then kick them away.”
"Well" Cao Cao suddenly felt happy when he heard this.
But when he saw Lu Bu killing Qingzhou soldiers more and more unnecessarily, Cao Cao's eyes revealed a trace of regret and reluctance, and he murmured: "He is a lone wolf, and he can be considered my lifelong rival.
Just die like this."
It’s so sad and pitiful.”
"Mengde" Xiahou Dun suddenly heard what Cao Cao said.
He couldn't help but feel anxious and hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "This is not the time to show love for talents.
We need it."
At this point, Xiahou Dun could no longer speak, because he had already seen Cao Cao raise his blocking right hand.
He even saw the cold look in Cao Cao's eyes, and then he heard the voice in his dream: "We need Lu Bu's head to establish the reputation of the Cao family's number one military god in the Central Plains.
At the same time, I need to be more careful and forbearing.
Therefore, Lu Fengxian's head should be snatched by Yuan Shao's subordinates."
"Mengde this" "Yuan Rang must not forget that Lu Fengxian is Ma Chao's father-in-law after all, and the wrath of the Yongliang God of War is not something our today's wounded Cao family can bear."
Xiahou Dun looked angry, obviously dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words.
However, after thinking for a moment, he could only show a helpless surrender look and said to Cao Cao sincerely: "Meng De is indeed far-reaching."
"Send an order to inform Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jia that Puyang City is about to be conquered.
The Cao family would like to dedicate this contribution to the three generals."
Cao Cao spoke, but after thinking for a moment, he directly said to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Yuan "Jean, it's better for you to go in person.
It's best to reveal Lu Bu's situation to those three people quietly.
I believe that the head of the world's best warrior god will make these three people very excited."
Xiahou Dun was stunned again, then he clasped his fists on his horse and saluted, and said, "I understand, I understand."
Lu Bu, Lu Bu, it is a great regret in my life that I, Cao Mengde, cannot take a tiger and wolf general like you under my command.
Looking at Lu Bu's fighting figure in Puyang City again, Cao Cao decided in his heart: It's better not to kill the people in Puyang City indiscriminately.
Perhaps, one day, only those who have personally met Lu Bu will pass down the story of Lu Bu, the God of War, from word of mouth. s: Chapter 5, sorry, I didn’t catch up on my thoughts today, so I wrote very slowly
